The Recognized symbol of excellence in sports entertainment.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome one and all to your favorite show and mine.

83 weeks with Eric Bischoff and before we get started, I know you're going, what are you doing here?

I'm filling in. That's what friends do when one goes down. The other one comes up and steps in their place.

And I am here to take about a third of the spot of Mr. Conrad Connell.

And I'd be remiss if I did this alone. I can't do this alone because nobody wants to hear from me.

Everybody wants to hear from the man himself. You know him. You love him. Mr. Eric Bischoff. Eric, how are you, sir?

I am doing so well. I love these shows. Surely I love doing them because they're fun and I kind of light hearted banter back and forth.

Some obviously some serious questions, but I can't think of anybody better to do this show with than you because you don't know me.

I don't know, man. You just you don't seem to take life too seriously. Maybe that's part of being a comic. Well, you know, a lot, not a lot, but a good portion of the comments or feedback that people send is not necessarily positive these days.

And it doesn't necessarily come from a place of like, hey, here's some constructive criticism. It's, it's the day and age of the trolls.

And the thing I like about this is it gives the trolls a chance to get involved rather than people to unless they're most of the time trolls are people to that's right. That's right.

So not too many shows give a voice to the trolls and and this episode these episodes, you know, I always love it because these people think they can dance with you and they just don't know they don't know who you've been on the dance floor with the history you have.

And there's nothing nothing better than when a new gunslinger comes to town and gets put down on their ass.

And I do love that. I mean, I've learned to love trolls. I love messing with them, you know, like on Twitter and stuff. I have so much fun.

Yeah.

And I've gotten it because it didn't start out that way. You know, I've been on since 2009 and initially, you know, somebody said something negative. It was like, oh, man, I got a, I got to friend myself here and on it. And now it's just like, no, man, I'm just going to have fun with this.

Do even make him twist and win. But let's get this show on road, surely.

And hello to all the people watching live. How you guys doing? Thanks for joining us. I love that there's a live interaction now with with fans and this is the way it should be, man.

I mean, it's the one great thing about ad free shows is how close you are to these to these people that you watched all these years and it continues. Conrad the genius continues.

You know what, you know what, surely was so cool though. I love doing the show. I was talking to Steve Kaufman, our producer right before we went live. And how cool is it that we are blessed enough to be able to do something that we have fun doing.

And we can pair bills with it. I mean, not a lot of people get say that right.
