Hello again, everybody, and welcome to another exciting episode of the Jim Cornett experience today on the cult cast.

We're going to take a special look back at August 1993 in Smokey Mountain Wrestling and Summer Slam. It's my being a good mood and talk about old wrestling show where we're not going to get in a bad mood because the leaves are button.

The dogwoods are blooming spring is finally here and so is my co host finally here. He was late, but it wasn't his fault. It was technical. Ladies and gentlemen, Hawaiian Brian, the podcasting line, the King of the Arcadian Vanguard podcast network.

Lord James Blair's favorite on air personality, the post office playboy, big daddy, the great Mr. co host Brian last. Although, Jim, a pleasure to be here. Well, I wasn't late. What are you talking about?

You your your gimmick didn't show up. Your gimmick wasn't lit, so I didn't know to get on the gimmick with you. I thought you were this tech. You thought I will see that's that's where you made your first mistake.

I was the first one. I'm never late. Well, actually, no, I get it. No, but no, I'm never late. I'm early as a matter of fact, because I don't like to rush, especially mold age. So I'm early. Sometimes I leave for things days early, just to make sure I'm there.

Come into town, get a part time job, establish my residence, then go to the carnival and challenge the guy and they never know the difference anyway.

Oh, we know we're having a good, we're going to have a good show today and I'm in a good mood because finally, it's three weeks late because of the shitty weather that we've had, but finally, the dogwood, my dogwood tree is starting to bloom right outside my office window.

I wait for this every year. It's been three weeks now and I've been pissed and I've been moaning and staring at it because it's late so many times.

In previous years, I was gone to wrestling events over the first week of April and I would miss my tree, the full bloom, the full plumage and power and majesty of the tree. I would miss that because I would be on the road somewhere.

And so this year, I'm thinking, I'm off the road. I'm going nowhere between the middle of March and the end of April. I'll enjoy all the full plumage of my beautiful dog award winning Mac daddy of a dogwood tree.

The weather has delayed everything. Finally, we're getting leaves. Finally, it's starting to bud into bloom and I'm going to Wheeling, West Virginia.

But I'll be back in a day. So I get to see it. So I'm staying, but no, it is, it's majestic and it when it's full and pink and white and this bad, well, I've just, it's grown and I never trim. I trim the deadwood out and the, you know, the dead branches, but I, I've so it's all the canopy, as they say, reaches all the way to the ground and on a couple of sides.

And you can, I've got, we got our chairs where we just sit underneath and stare off into the fucking subdivision or building across the guy, well, but no, we're not going to talk about that.

But obviously it's clear how much you love this dogwood tree. And I think because of that, the importance is obvious that if we get this Kickstarter over 150,000, you get a piece of the dogwood tree.

No, wait, what's no, no, because they might do it. And I can't, I can't be pruning my dogwood tree. No, the Kickstarter, by the way, thank you, everyone, Cult of Cornette. Listen to this now. I've heard this is pretty good for government work.

The Kickstarter debuted Tuesday, April 17th. And it was funded by the next morning, 23 hours later. So they added the first stretch goal.

We got 25 grand, if we get 35 grand, we'll add eight pages. And they did that. We did that. All of us out there, you and me all together, did that by Fridays. That was like three and a half days.

And then the next stretch goal was, and I understand now what they've done here. I've seen the thing. I couldn't explain it the other day, but there's a UV process that some of the collectors books that they do.

They, they, it's a special printing deal for the cover to make the colors pop and make it a more collectible cover. And they, they said, we'll add that at 40. And we hit that in six.

I mean, I'm a math six and a half days. So now I've got to get with them. They're going to be putting an update on the Kickstarter, potentially with the next stretch goal is, I want more space. We got to tell all these stories. I want more room. I want more pages.

But there's all of the, or a lot of the high dollar slots were filled just because we had to limit them due to the speciality in nature, but we're trying to add some things there too.
