Hello and welcome to Crime & Sports! Yay!

Oh, yay indeed Jimmy, yay indeed. My name is James Petra Gallo. I am here with my co-host.

I am Jimmy Wiseman.

Thank you folks so much for joining us today. We could not be more excited for this. It's a crazy wild episode. It's a wrestling episode. I'll tell you right off the front.

So as you know, if you've listened to Crime & Sports before, whether you are a wrestler or a wrestler, you can watch it.

And after this week is now my favorite sport. Jimmy went to a live wrestling show.

I had no idea. I've never been to a live one. I've never been to a major event. I can't imagine what that shit is like.

I've never seen a sports team get a bigger ovation. I've never seen anybody get a crazier ovation. People are nuts for it. It's a good time.

It really is. If you are in a town in the Indigo there, go fucking see it. Even if you're not a wrestling fan, it's one of those things. It's the same thing. If you're not a basketball fan, you go to a basketball game.

You're like, holy shit, that was a good time. It's crazy when you're right there. It's the same thing with wrestling. If you're not a wrestling fan, still you should see it live because it's a lot of fun. It's really is amazing.

They let us do alone. Every day work their ass off. The guys and girls everybody they work their asses off. They really try to put on a good show. And they really do always. So it's always a big time.

Big shout to Roy Cisix who found out about us from fucking Colt Cabana. Yeah. Colt Cabana has got a podcast. You guys know how much you guys do.

It's a good dude. Yeah. It's so good. I helped us out at South by Southwest by directing his rather large audience to stay to watch the state of watch our show where two people came to see us because nobody knew we were yet. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

He's passed us on to a lot of people. So we appreciate that. Colt Cabana wrestlers. We are very popular with them. But we respect it. And that's that's one thing. Like I'm a fan. I haven't I'll be perfectly honest. I haven't watched it probably since about 2002.

I got a regular basis. I was a fan when I was a kid like little kid 910. I was a huge fan. When I was a little kid I was a huge fan. And then I became more of a fan of girls and weed and things of that nature for a long time. Which is bananas because they are too.

And then I got back into it in like the late 90s there like Monday night wars type thing like probably 96 through whatever night while my little brother was into it. So when I was a teenager we go to a live show every once in a while a Monday night raw at the Midhawtson Civic Center in New York in the KFC.

So we go to Monday night raw and watch that. So I I stayed kind of knowing everything and knowing the guys and in the late 90s. And then it just kind of.

And the guys like I said it's just as good. They tried just as hard and everything but there's just it's lost something in terms of I don't know of storyline or or in terms of production. It's too slick for me. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it's not the wrestlers. I'll tell you that much. But it's it's it's I don't know what it is. It's a little too slick for me at the moment when I watch it now it doesn't seem.

It doesn't seem like a fight's going to take place. It seems very overly produced and overly glitzy. I legitimately believed that these guys hated each other. It's good. It was so good. But I yeah I apologize number one for my voice today in my general sickness.

If you hear a sniffle I apologize. I'm going to do my best not to sniffle but I've been sick for days. We had to delay recording and it's been brutal but the text message pictures I got from your wife.

It looked like she was holding you up. Yeah I was I always dying. I was dying. She just gave you like a random blanket to lay on like couch and I just took it and curled up in a fetal position and wanted to die. I felt like I felt like I should be texting back. How much do you want?
