Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of WrestleLomux Radio. I'm Brandon Therson Broadcasting live and on demand for Buffalo, New York

0:05.5

We're today is Sunday, April 30th, 2023, and we are joined today by the man who still has the blue check mark, Chris Gullum.

0:14.5

Good morning everybody, and another man who did not have a blue check mark like me, Jesse Collins, hello.

0:23.3

No, my application for the blue check mark was still being processed when Elon bought Twitter, so I think that was the end of my ability to get a blue check mark.

0:31.9

Yes, if you have eight dollars though, you could have one. But anyway, we talked about that last week.

0:36.5

We have some things to discuss, the new lawsuit against WB from a former writer, alleging racial discrimination, wrongful termination, we'll get to that.

0:47.0

Comcast had an earnings report, we have an update on peacock subscribers, we have some quick infographics on US media rights values across the space, as one might say.

1:01.6

And we'll look into whether Vince has actually tanked business already, we will examine that.

1:07.2

And we have the biggest event of all, it will be last, it's the main event, so you better stay for the whole program here.

1:15.0

It is time today for the rustonomics draft. What does that mean? These two individuals have only recently found out, but more of you will learn in the moments to come today.

1:26.6

So we can't start until Cletus, the Fox Sports football robot, is here because he's in my draft room, but what is Cletus, the Fox Sports robot?

1:36.8

He's the mascot for Fox Football, he's a robot, and during the one of the WW drafts they've done the past, they had the war rooms from USA and Fox.

1:48.1

They actually had the robot, was in the Fox War Room, and he was really celebrating when they drafted Tamina Snuka, or whoever was being drafted to Smackdown.

1:59.4

Okay, if you want to participate in it with a super chat today, you're encouraged to do so if you have a question or a comment.

2:06.2

Any big news from the NFL draft? The bills took a tight end? Why?

2:15.2

Don't we already have a good time? Yeah, just just another weapon, but he's inconsistent in catching the ball.

2:21.0

He's all around a great player, but they wanted another weapon for Josh Shannon. Still didn't really address that number two by receiver spot, but it is what it is.

2:32.6

And Bill Belichick, the master strategist, what did he do with the draft?

2:36.0

Apparently, players didn't want to play for him. I'm not a draft, Nick. I honestly don't care at all about following the draft or having an opinion like I know anything about these players that they drafted.

2:49.3

I'm told that for their first room pick, they took a cornerback named Christian Gonzalez, and I was told that he fell in the draft, and it was a huge steal that the Patriots were able to get him.

3:00.2

He was not happy though. I'll pay attention when he drafted. You looked very upset.

3:05.3

Drafted by them. Yeah, I'm sure that's a real thing, that's true. They took a kicker in the fourth round.
