| 0:00.0 | The Michael Barry show. So I made a Ted Debiosse reference on Facebook. A few days ago, |
| 0:10.9 | what I did is I smoked out all the wrestling fans in the group. |
| 0:16.4 | And it's always fun to connect with the wrestling folks. |
| 0:20.2 | You know, out of wrestling, a working class man's entertainment, it was always sort of alternative. |
| 0:35.9 | It never quite made it up there with the major sports. And then it just blew up. |
| 0:43.5 | Out of that has come. First of all, Trump was a massive wrestling fan. And he understood the |
| 0:51.5 | concept of the heel. He understood the entertainment value. He understood so many of the elements that |
| 0:59.4 | drive human nature. But I got a bunch of responses and I communicate with a lot of folks when I |

| 2:14.4 | pertinere 19 years, right? That means that even if you got started early, you spend your 20s and 30s |
| 2:25.4 | the entirety of it, pregnant, good night. And imagine that, the minute you get through being pregnant, |
| 2:34.3 | he's ready to, yeah. And there you are pregnant again. Whew, man. Anyway. So we talked about |
| 2:42.3 | wrestling and dusty roads theme. And I said, did you mud? Hey, send me some of your favorites. |
