Yeah, it's great.

I was lukewarm to it at first, mainly because Penelope was so involved in Kip's matches and he was still losing. Once he started interfering in her matches too and they found a better balance I found myself enjoying them quite a bit.

Do you have a patron? I would not send a great deal, but I feel that you deserve some sort of reward for dealing with all of that, even if only nominal. A friend of mine listened to it, but their take was far more scanty.

Said friend (or perhaps, in this case, "friend") repeatedly asked me to listen to the part above (at 36:40) and, while I have sworn off the ruler of the hole, I did since it was just Last and thus something that I could guiltily rules lawyer my way into doing. The bit on Callis was troubling as Last seemed to imply either Callis did something wrong with the investigation and/or was a part of what was investigated. He also used an incredibly cheesy pun to tell everyone who the alleged person who may have been wronged was, which I think has only been rumored previously, and should be their story to reveal, not some shock jock podcast rear end in a top hat. (Though, I wonder if their release involved an NDA).
I have to be really, really careful about how I phrase this, especially at this hour, because, as has been alluded to in the past, what's reportable on this is...complicated. To understand what's out there in the public domain, I suggest reading these:

* The initial report about the Impact sexual harassment investigation etc: https://www.wrestlingnewsworld.com/wwe/exclusive-impact-investigation-involving-work-place-sexual-harassment
* Fightful then independently confirmed the substance of WNW's reporting: https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/report-impact-wrestling-official-investigated-sexual-harassment
* Six months later, Kris "Baby Ref" Levin got permission from the involved parties who made the accusations to give his side about how his interview in the investigation led to his firing. Nick Hausman wrote up a story on it that included some twists that were buoyed by a little bit of additional reporting from myself: https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2020/06/kris-levin-questions-legitimacy-of-recent-impact-wrestling-671970/

Look, it's not particularly hard to figure out who these stories are about; I remember a bunch of people figuring it out just from the initial story at WNW. And there's enough that I find it highly doubtful that anyone in Impact would sue Brian over it. But there are very good reasons—ethical reasons specifically—why nobody's named names in any reporting.

During the whole episode he still referred to Kip as Pip and Penelope as Penelope Pitstop or slutty girlfriend. And Miro as Miriam

Thanks, Bix. I appreciate that you said anything. This had only bubbled up to me when the referee spoke, and I didn't know all of the available details. I didn't know that you had found out about how the investigator had a prior relation. It all sounds very unfortunate.

If you came into AEW during that period, it seemed like Penelope was the wrestler and Kip was the valet.

Penelope mostly wears one pieces too so it's mostly just Corncob projecting as stated. It's just part of his continued misogyny against women in AEW that's often directed at the joshi talent, which usually skews into hardcore racism as well.

It's a super-tall shot glass. But it's a super-tall confederate flag shot glass.

It holds about 3-4 real shots. I have something similar from Disneyland. But it has a pirate theme, not sedition.

Based on the vintage, those are probably DVDs that Brian sent him when he was working for Sony and Sony was distributing the WWE DVDs. I used to have (pre-Hurricane Sandy) a ton of DVDs like that which were gifted from Brian, usually WWE or Shout Factory stuff. IIRC, Brian was also supplying them to Bryan Alvarez until WWE got friendlier about sending out free review copies again. (WWE didn't seem to keep track of what the sent out, to who, and/or when, though, as I'm fairly sure they sent me the Wargames set three different times.)

Cornette does have a collector's mentality on top of everything else. He used to have an extremely large Silver Age comic collection that I don't know what happened to.

I might be misremembering, but I think there was also a time where Mikey tried to get out of a tag match by giving Mick a note from his mother.

according to jericho dickhead paid them more than he could reasonably afford, assuming he could make it up at their gimmick table after they had humped their way around the loop a few times. they weren't interested in the locals and their gimmick sales were disappointing

couldn't be that he made them look like the lamest motherfuckers on this blue pill before they even had a match
