Hello friends and you are my friends for a little longer and welcome to the National Public Radio Edition of the Jim Cornette Experience here with

my co-host. He's Hawaiian. He's a lion. He has a lot of other names. It's Brian. Hello Brian. Hello, Hydra. I'm pleasure to be here on the subdued episode of the Jim Cornette Experience. Well for everybody is thinking I'm on fucking acid. I lost my voice last week and this is the first recording that we have done since I've gotten it mostly back. It's a

only been six days. It seems like three months since my MLW commentary left me voiceless. I was the voice of the voiceless by the time we got finished with that. We're going to talk about all that stuff, my trip to New York. But we are a little subdued today. We apologize for being a few days late with this program that we wanted to do early and instead are doing late. The best laid plans and all that stuff. I feel like I've been beat by a sack of wet hammers even though I've been home and trying to rest.

I've officially as my mother used to say bit enough more than I can chew. I am too old for this shit. My schedule now I've said I've failed at retirement. Now irrelevancy is another thing that I've completely shit to bed on.

As you know, I actually in some cases have tried to stay irrelevant because it's easier and I have more free time, but that has not been possible over the last few months and I apologize to everybody.

For it actually even the last couple weeks of shows, as you know, we've been I've been going, oh my gosh, I got to do this. I got to do that. Let's record this. Let's get this in. What are we going to talk about? I got a blah, blah, blah.

So if it's been lackluster over the last few weeks and the schedule we've had to re-wrap, I apologize for that and I am taking steps.

I'm not going to cancel any live appearances that I've already advertised. Obviously, because people are looking forward to them. We got the Midnight Express reunions coming up some other things that we'll be talking about. It's all on my website, Jim Cornette.com.

So anything that is not listed on my website is not going to well, I can't even say that right. Most of the appearances I have for the rest of the year of 2019 are already up on my website.

I'm not going to be taking anything else unless it involves MLW commentary or the NWA commentary because I've just I got to take care of myself at this time. I'm making way too much money and I'm too successful. I've got to do something about this.

But God damn it. Things just keep coming up, but you know how that goes. Well, you just keep saying yes. That's the bill. I know.

And the thing is, you know, I still got projects around the house here this year. This is another big landscaping year. I got French drains to put in greenery shrubbery.

I'm going to be some different things I want to do. And then by this time, the end of the year, next year, I got to have my driveway redone and resurfaced and a foundation put in for a gardening shed that I'm building, et cetera, et cetera.

So the part of this will be known as MLW gardens around Castle Cornette. But anyway, but I am going to try to lighten up and and concentrate on things that don't kill me.

So anyway, it'll get better. This is the majority of the God, I'm tired. The majority of the hard trips have been taken already that I'm doing this year. And this last one, I guarantee you, I love my fans in New York, right? Love the fans in New York. New York City and the New Jersey metropolitan area around that can kiss my big fat white ass.

I believe that the people that saw me last week will be the last people that ever see me in person in New York City. And I was not alone in this, in this figuring, in this opinion, because a lot of people were like, what the fuck?

I actually, I'll tell you this a second, but more about the trip in a second, but on Wednesday night, I was sitting in Cacalkus, New Jersey at my hotel, just got back in and time to have dinner at the hotel restaurant before it closed and I was foodless, trapped there.

And I heard the guy next to me at the table, talked to the waitress. And I said, excuse me, where are you from? He said, Texas. And I said, well, I thought I said it was good to hear somebody sounded normal.

And he looked at me and he looked around, you know, outside the windows where we were, just looked all around and said, you know, people live here on purpose.

And that pretty much summed it up. There's got to be something to fucking matter with anybody that lives within 50 miles of Manhattan in any direction.

I'm sorry, but you have a character flaw. There are other places you could go that could be cheaper and better like anything. Cambodia. Don't get me started here. I'm trying to do the NPR voice.

You got out, you live out in the woods now. Well, I'm within the 50 mile radius and I have been my entire life when I was in Long Beach.
