Hey bix that guy is a bigot and you should stop signal boosting him just because you also don’t like Meltzer

So with how rarely Dave does outside podcasts (other than Jericho & Austin), that's weird enough, but...Penzer has AEW (or TNT?) as a sponsor? Isn't it fairly well-known that Penzer's show doesn't really have an audience?

I feel like I'm missing something.

Jericho had Don Trump Jr on because AEW has had a lot of issues getting visas for their international talent, and now Jericho can go to Don Jr for help.

I hate to say it, and I'm not trying to "OK, boomer" him or anything like that, but this is kind of exposing how much Dave relies on his memory and how much that could be a liability as he ages. I mean, I've also benefitted journalistically and as a historian from having a weirdly great long-term memory, too, and I'd hate to lose that when I get older, but I've also been building a massive digital trove of historical documents and resources over the years, while Dave...just kind of relies on his memory and his own writings. As big a fan of Kenny Omega as he is, thinking that Omega did a lot of death matches in the Delaware valley is...really weird and maybe even concerning? I'm probably overreacting, but it's such a specifically weird mistake to make.

Nice of you to let us know about Dave’s deteriorating condition. Do you have anyone in mind that we should start listening to as a replacement for Dave?

I don't think it is anti-labor to say that if you sign with WWE you better expect to be put in lovely storylines and not pushed well and if you get upset about those things he has no sympathy.

It's like saying you have no sympathy for someone who applies to Disney World to play Mickey and then complains they look stupid in the Mickey costume. You can feel bad they are underpaid and otherwise have their rights trampled upon, but you knew you'd look that way when you signed.

Labor should organize so that they can wear the Epic Mickey costume

I just sent Dave a two page letter about how I think he's done a disservice with his ACH & Jim Cornette coverage. I hope he's receptive to it, because I'm pretty disappointed in what he put in this week's issue.

You should have included a screenshot of your twitter account with 0 followers to make sure he reads it

i haven't listened to today's episode but dave seems extremely mad that cornette was fired while randy remains unpunished, failing to realize one incident was on a national "tv" show while the other person was drunk while streaming video games

to be fair, video game streaming is a bigger industry than cosplay youtube wrestling shows

I think Dave might be talking about Carmella there. Carmella is a really bad wrestler, who has improved a lot. Regardless, she is still light years ahead of Bryan Alvarez lol.

If he’s talking about Naomi then Jesus Christ, Dave

Your videos are too popular and bringing too many people to our website. Somehow this is a bad thing and you need to pay us for it.

to be fair, vimeo has a completely different business model than youtube. their goal is not to bring viewers to their website, nor do they generate ad revenue. they target customers that need a place to host large, high quality videos

A lot of podcasts lost their ad support because numbers are way down across the board. The commute was a much bigger chunk of viewership then people expected.

I thought the loss of ad support was more that companies are pulling back on ad spend since no one is buying anything.
