0:30.0

Hey, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to the show I'm Jeff Gersman. This is the Jeff Gersman show. Weird how that works out.

0:42.0

And we're here to talk about the week that was in video games, the week that is the week that will be...then now for...yeah, okay, yes.

0:54.0

What is up with wrestlers? Uh, it's a question's been going around. Why are wrestlers so fucking stupid?

1:02.0

The question on everybody's lips. What is it about wrestlers that makes it seem like that they are the ones that seem to be falling for, um, or buying into conspiracy, theory, stupidity, and tweeting out links to...I'm just asking questions about Sandy Hook.

1:22.0

Like, oh, what is it about the professional wrestler that seems to make them, I think, and yes, of course, people are saying, oh, yes, they get hit in the head a lot, they get concussed, like, sure, sure.

1:39.0

But I think the life of a professional wrestler, and it's probably a little bit less like this these days, but I think you still have some that they've got that dog in them, uh, that, uh, where they are in a constant state of paranoia, right? That's the, that's the professional wrestler.

2:03.0

It's the independent contractor that works for the one national company, uh, that is worried constantly that they are going to get, uh, you know, fired or pull, you know, so as a result, they are paranoid about everyone and everything around them.

2:18.0

And, uh, and nothing is real, but everything is real. They live in a life of lies, and so at some point, they spend enough time in that wrestling bubble.

2:29.0

That everything becomes a work politics, like, like, top to bottom, they're like, oh, it's a work, brother, like, that's the, the vaccines are a work, brother.

2:38.0

Like, all of that sort of stuff, I think that there's, that's, it's, there's, they're, they're conducive. They are, they are, uh, willing recipients of conspiracy, like, information, because they live a life of rumor in in you, and all that sort of stuff, right?

2:55.0

And I think that there are a lot of, there are a lot of professional wrestlers that are not like that now, and, and I, it's, it's better for it.

3:03.0

Despite what the undertaker may have you believe, but these damn kids playing video games backstage.

3:10.0

Um, but yeah, I, you know, I don't know, this still is always going to be one or five or 20 coming out of the woodwork with some insane shit. And you're like, oh, that's okay. You're a fucking crazy person.

3:24.0

Okay. You, yo, you believe in absolute insanity. Okay. You spend all your off time believing in absolute lies. Great. Okay. Yeah. Good. Good stuff. Good stuff. Professional wrestling. Never change. Actually, please continue to change. Like I said, it's not quite, it's not quite as bad as it used to be, but there's just something about it. I don't know what, why it seems to attract people that are, uh, about that life.

3:53.0

About that conspiracy theory life. Um, yes, as, as a big, big name, I was a killing of the former killing day and said, some wrestlers are just fucking stupid. I don't know what to tell you. Yeah. Yes. I guess that, I guess that's just how it is sometimes.

4:14.0

Sometimes they'll show up for a match with COVID and try to dodge the tests into the last possible minute and then fuck up at the show. Okay. You know,

4:24.0

it's a wonderful world out there. Hey, what enough about that shit video games, huh? Or technology, I suppose in the delivery of video game information from me to you. That has been the kind of constant, uh, pain in the neck around here.

4:43.0

For at least a little while and, um, it's been, it's been a, it has been a push and a pull here with my computer and the old OBS, the old open, open broadcasting soft service, open broadcasting software.

5:03.0

That's what that stands for. I've completely forgotten what OBS stands for.

5:08.0

Um, yeah, it's been ongoing. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I maybe have found another pocket of things that were causing issues. And so I uninstalled all of the Nvidia SDK stuff that allows for the weird warped backgrounds and shaders and all of that sort of stuff.

5:29.0
