When Ryan's when it's time to begin. It's on to rewind around with John Paulic and waiting the 18 that makes sense that these things we see in the ring every week on tb

0:11.1

It's

0:12.1

Rewind around from Monday night. The load of Tuesday morning from the fall stress

0:16.3

Insight is rewind around from Monday night on USA now on the John and wait

0:22.1

Hello, everyone. It's John Paulic and waiting another week begins at post wrestling. Are you ready for it way? Yeah, I think so. I think okay. You could say no. And we just stop right here. What you just will you give me more time? Well, you how long how much time am I granted to get ready for the week? I just sit here. I'd wait with all the listeners and you just take a walk go for a few laps around the house and whenever you come back, we'll just be waiting here until you're ready.

0:52.1

Ready to start the week. Sometimes you're kind of forced to to wait for me, you know, when when I have any sort of technical issue, of course, but I'm ready this week. Are you in full Toronto blue jays mode now based on your attire? Oh, of course huge. Yeah, you don't I don't just wear clothes for the sake of wearing clothes. John, everything I wear has to have some sort of meaning.

1:16.3

Right. I sense a little defensiveness in that response. I get the sense that you are feeling that I'm putting you on the spot. I'm not the guy who's been concerned about sports this past week.

1:28.9

Have I been concerned about sports? I think I've been the opposite of the speed of a lot of about sports. I've seen. I'm just pointing out what I'm what I'm watching.

1:38.0

How was the Leafs game? Lastly, it was awesome. It was great. Do you want to play the game? Yeah, team that I thought was going to win one. And the team that was outplayed lost. It's like the hockey gods got that one right. So now it's off. And now we're doing now that the other fun part of a Toronto Maple Leaf spring is they've been eliminated. So let's blow the whole thing up every year without fail. Like let's just blow this whole thing up. I love it. What do you mean? What do you mean?

2:05.0

They're just restarting the team. Like what they're getting rid of everybody. No, they are they're going to fire the GM because you got to blame someone. You got to you got to class all this blame. And there's nothing the city loves more than the intrigue of what are they going to who's going to pay for this? Who's going to answer for my anger as a fan? Who who is going to lose their job over this wouldn't they want to keep most of this. This team. I mean, if they got the furthest they've gotten. And I wouldn't these years.

2:34.8

This would be a dramatic increase over past years. It's their first playoff series win in 19 years. But that's not enough. It's not enough. They have re they have ridiculous expectations.

2:46.8

Okay. Well, hey.

2:48.8

We'll do this again next year. Maybe they'll be out in the first ground next year. So it'll just be a couple of weeks earlier that we'll get to this. But anyway, there you have it.

2:56.8

Let us go into well, first, I want to mention that because I will forget this later. Are you counting down the days until the forbidden port?

3:07.8

Of course, I am 20 or sorry, 40 days, 40 days. Am I right? So give or take. Yes.

3:17.8

here in Wellington. But as always, yes, the rest of the bread in here. I mean, it'll be the place to be honestly before and after if you're in the area, please, you have no excuse not to join us if you're listening to the show. It'll be a great time. We guarantee it. Yes. Actually, we're going head to head. I think with a progress show with the five. I know. Yeah. I mean, do both, you know, you can't do both.

If he was coming over, you know where Beno would choose to be. He'd be with us. I guess I don't know. I'm not sure. I put my, I put all my money on Beno choosing us. Okay. Well, great. Okay. Well, nonetheless, you can do it all. Maybe, maybe Hansi will go to the progress show and then he'll tell us afterwards. I'm sorry guys. I meant to come to yours and I went to the wrong place.
