Speaker 2: It's good to see Ray Lloyd. For those of you

Speaker 2: who watched wrestling back to the nineties, was a glacier.

Speaker 2: But man, you've been doing a lot. I mean you're

Speaker 2: actually now working with aw Right.

Speaker 3: I am yeah. I was a coach, producer, whatever you

Speaker 3: want to call it. We call them coaches there.

Speaker 2: Yes, And what does a coach do at aw so

Speaker 2: typically what we do is one I was brought on

Speaker 2: to really help a lot of the Ring of Honor wrestlers,

Speaker 2: who are typically some of our younger wrestlers. And what

Speaker 2: is the Ring of Honor for us?

Speaker 1: I don't know.

Speaker 3: Ring of Honor was a legendary wrestling promotion that ran

Speaker 3: for well over twenty years. A lot of the major

Speaker 3: stars today all came through there at some point. And

Speaker 3: when it got to the point to where it became

Speaker 3: came up for sale. Tony Kahan, who obviously wrestling probably

Speaker 3: more than anyone I've ever known in my life. Uh

Speaker 3: he he acquired it as part of the a W.

Speaker 3: And it's been great. It's been a I would say,

Speaker 3: a lot like our in certain ways. A lot of

Speaker 3: it's kind of like our, our proven ground for for

Speaker 3: wrestlers to come in maybe get a little bit more

Speaker 3: seasoning as they look to move up to the to

Speaker 3: the dynamite of collision roster.

Speaker 2: And Tony conn is the guy that owns the Jacksonville Jags, Yes,

Speaker 2: and owns the and owns a W a W. And

Speaker 2: so you had conversations with this guy like, yeah.

Speaker 1: We we sit every week. We sit side by side

Speaker 1: with him.

Speaker 3: So, yeah, that's the coach's role is we get a

Speaker 3: signed when the TV run sheet comes out, we get

Speaker 3: to sign the match, maybe two whatever, And so we

Speaker 3: get with the wrestlers kind of you know, give them details,

Speaker 3: how much time they have, what order they are on

Speaker 3: the show, all that just kind of help them map

Speaker 3: all that out, get the details from the match. And

Speaker 3: then when it's time for that match, we were sitting down.

Speaker 3: Tony loves to time the entire show, like from beginning

Speaker 3: to end. So he'll sit and do that on one monitor.

Speaker 3: The coach will sitting next to him, and then will

Speaker 3: talk to I talked to the referee on one one

Speaker 3: button to where I can get the referee the time.

Speaker 3: So is that called gorilla position? Yeah, gorilla position because

Speaker 3: of Gorilla Monster. He's the one that made a famous Yes.

Speaker 3: And then so I'm the coach will talk to and

Speaker 3: then we'll also but when I talk to the head

Speaker 3: of production and the production truck. So if there's anything

Speaker 3: that that maybe a big move that I want to

Speaker 3: make sure they get a really good shot of, I

Speaker 3: can give him a heads up maybe thirty seconds ahead

Speaker 3: of time. And so uh, you know saying like you

Speaker 3: know this wrestlers, you know plannel on doing this big

Speaker 3: dive a ramp side which ma me the you know,

Speaker 3: entrance side, just so we can get the best shot

Speaker 3: of it possible. Yeah, And then and then really simple

Speaker 3: things like I'll watch all coach to match, like with

Speaker 3: a tag team a lot of times recently, like a

Speaker 3: young tag team came out, they came down the ramp

Speaker 3: and they split, one went right, one that left. Well,

Speaker 3: the camera can't pick them both up if they do that.

Speaker 3: So when they come back, I say, hey, look, guys,

Speaker 3: go one way or the other together. You know, it's

Speaker 3: a little things like that.

Speaker 2: Hey, how would I know you come from old school

Speaker 2: wrestling like I do? So here we are talking about

Speaker 2: the ins and outs of wrestling in front of everybody.

Speaker 2: Used to be that was all, you know, a secret.

Speaker 2: You know, you don't say that, But now everybody just

Speaker 2: talks about it. Is that Is that difficult for you

Speaker 2: or you like?

Speaker 3: It's very difficult if you if you if you read back,

Speaker 3: just think about how I just said it. I'm very

Speaker 3: protective of it. I still like to protect the magic

Speaker 3: of wrestling because I believe the fans still want that. Yeah,

Speaker 3: that's what they still show up for, is to have

Speaker 3: that feeling. And uh and it's funny. Uh Qt Marshall

Speaker 3: who is now one of our vice presidents and he

Speaker 3: and I started the Wrestling Score up in Atlanta a

Speaker 3: few years back.

Speaker 2: Gus who had that documentary that I watched it and

Speaker 2: it reminded me, oh my god, you know ray Lloyd,

Speaker 2: you worked with him.

Speaker 3: Yeah, we started the school back in twenty sixteen. And uh,

Speaker 3: and he's built that up into One Fall Wrestling, which

Speaker 3: is which is one of the best independent promotions out there.

Speaker 3: And uh but uh QT always is a great saying.

Speaker 3: When I heard this, I thought, man, that's a perfect

Speaker 3: example of kind of what wrestling is. Is we always

Speaker 3: say like you've watched magicians out there, and there's good

Speaker 3: magic and there's bad magic. Pro wrestling is the same way.

Speaker 3: There's really good wrestling if they do it right, and

Speaker 3: then there's not so good if they don't do it right.

Speaker 1: Yes, and the magic's not there, the magic.

Speaker 2: Everybody knows this, right, Hey, I got to go back

Speaker 2: to when you're when you're is it different talking to

Speaker 2: a billionaire, Like when you're talking to a billionaire, right,

Speaker 2: they got all the money in the world. They don't

Speaker 2: want you to tell him. No, it's probably difficult to

Speaker 2: if you disagree with him. Is it difficult to say

Speaker 2: what you really feel? Well?

Speaker 3: You know what this is something honestly rusted I can

Speaker 3: say that not many people can say, is that this

Speaker 3: is the second billionaire I've worked for for Ted Turner.

Speaker 3: But Ted wasn't never really around behind the scenes like

Speaker 3: that which.

Speaker 2: You had conversations with Ted Turner.

Speaker 3: No, he would come from time to time. I never

Speaker 3: really was fortunate enough to get there and stand there

Speaker 3: and actually talk to Ted. But because I think like

Speaker 3: a young a lot of young wrestlers back then, I

Speaker 3: was pretty intimidated about.

Speaker 1: That, right. But it was pretty cool to see his

Speaker 1: signature on my check every two weeks. But he called it.

Speaker 3: But Tony is very, very approachable. He's such a huge

Speaker 3: fan of wrestling. I give an example, we were taping

Speaker 3: probably about a month or so ago, and I sit down.

Speaker 3: I just plopped down, because you kind of you have

Speaker 3: to move in and out real quick when it's live,

Speaker 3: you know. And I sit down with him, and he

Speaker 3: admitted into the match. He turns over and he slaps

Speaker 3: me in the arm. He says, he says, hey, Ray,

Speaker 3: he says, how was that match you did with when

Speaker 3: you wrestle Terry Funk back in the summer of eighty nine.

Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't even remember it. I mean, I remember,

Speaker 3: but I certainly don't expect tempt to. But he's that

Speaker 3: kind of person. Is He's very approachable boss. I mean,

Speaker 3: just just to his core. One of the best people

Speaker 3: I've ever ever known. He's certainly one of the best

Speaker 3: bosses I've ever had. But he's just very approachable. He

Speaker 3: loves wrestling in the way that we love wrestling, And

Speaker 3: to me, that's the thing I've respect about him.

Speaker 2: Because when he's in wrestling mode and he's working with

Speaker 2: you for a means, does he talk about the Jags

Speaker 2: at all? Did he talk about football much or not?

Speaker 3: You know, he does some, Yeah, I will say, when

Speaker 3: when he's there for wrestling, I mean, he seems to

Speaker 3: be very laser focused on that and uh uh and

Speaker 3: and he's just he I keep going back to it,

Speaker 3: but he loves it on the level that I've rarely seen.

Speaker 3: I mean I always say that, I tell my wife

Speaker 3: does that because I always come back home and I go, yeah,

Speaker 3: still the same. It was like the first day I

Speaker 3: went to work for him a couple of years ago.

Speaker 3: I saw how excited he was. Every time I go

Speaker 3: to work now he still has that same level of

Speaker 3: excitement on his face, which is and he's there at

Speaker 3: every single thing we do. He doesn't miss anything.

Speaker 2: So you know, one of the reasons I you know,

Speaker 2: I got the whole of you is and I don't

Speaker 2: won't put you on the spot too bad or whatever.

Speaker 2: You tell me, whatever you want to say. But one

Speaker 2: of the reasons I got hold of is we really

Speaker 2: believe in the guy that that has won the MWO championship,

Speaker 2: Onyx the one. Yeah, and I feel like this guy,

Speaker 2: if he had the right if he had the right

Speaker 2: break or whatever, could actually you know, make it into

Speaker 2: the big leagues. And you you sat and talked to

Speaker 2: him for a long long time. What is a guy

Speaker 2: like Onyx, who's a young guy, uh, just trying to

Speaker 2: make it in the Independence? And you know what the

Speaker 2: Independence that these guys are working for thirty bucks a

Speaker 2: match and they got to put the ring up and

Speaker 2: on their busts in their ass. What is a guy

Speaker 2: like Onyx got to do to get to that next level? Well,

Speaker 2: he already checks a lot of the boxes. You know,

Speaker 2: he's got a great look. He is from what I

Speaker 2: saw him the day I came to watch the show,

Speaker 2: he's he's fundamentally pretty good. Uh.

Speaker 3: And I think the main thing he just needs is

Speaker 3: more experience right now. Yeah, and then which is what

Speaker 3: a lot of people and a lot of people, you know,

Speaker 3: they get they learn the fundamentals and professional wrest and

Speaker 3: they think, Okay, I'm ready to go, and it's it's

Speaker 3: a process because you really, once you get to the

Speaker 3: point where you're at that level, the high level and

Speaker 3: and live TV, it's an unbelievable amount of pressure and

Speaker 3: you got to be able to handle that pressure. So

Speaker 3: that's the main thing I look for in someone right

Speaker 3: for Onyxes right now is okay, you know if he

Speaker 3: were putting that spot, would he be able to handle

Speaker 3: that pressure?

Speaker 2: Maybe?

Speaker 3: Maybe not? But uh, I just I've been communicating with him.

Speaker 3: I had him send me a couple of what he

Speaker 3: considers his best matches dum reviewing those right now, and

Speaker 3: I told him, once I have that some notes, I'll

Speaker 3: sit down with him, we'll go over it, and we'll

Speaker 3: kind of go from there. But I definitely want to

Speaker 3: see more of him because he has to look and

Speaker 3: he has that level of charisma. He has that thing

Speaker 3: that makes you want to watch him, which is which

Speaker 3: is uh that not everybody has that, that thinks they

Speaker 3: have that.

Speaker 2: And I've watched him get over with our audience, and

Speaker 2: our audience loves when he comes with us to events

Speaker 2: and stuff. People are in line to take pictures with him.

Speaker 2: He's got that little charisma thing that I know that you're.

Speaker 4: Looking for charisma.

Speaker 2: Guys, it's a six pack. He's got plenty of wrestlers

Speaker 2: have no charisma.

Speaker 4: Yeah, it has plenty of six And.

Speaker 2: I want to thank you because, you know, as I'm

Speaker 2: trying to play professional wrestling guy or whatever, there were

Speaker 2: some things that can came up and I pulled you

Speaker 2: to the side and say, hey, in the independence, is

Speaker 2: this the way this works? And you were able to

Speaker 2: give me a perspective that I did and I appreciate

Speaker 2: that because that that was very very helpful. So, uh,

Speaker 2: but the reason you're here, yeah that and Ry I

Speaker 2: thought Ryan Holmes could help you a little bit, is

Speaker 2: that that you have decided with everything you got going on,

Speaker 2: you're doing stand up comedy.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I decided to dive into stand up comedy.

Speaker 2: Yes nay. And you basically tell stories of things that

Speaker 2: happened because you you were You're like me. Uh, not

Speaker 2: only were you're a huge fan of the American Dream

Speaker 2: Dusty Roads, but he beclaimed one of your closest friends.

Speaker 1: Right, he really did. It became my mentor and he

Speaker 1: was my childhood hero. So I always me too.

Speaker 3: Yeah, no matter who your childhood hero, if you can

Speaker 3: imagine growing up and beginning to meet your childhood hero

Speaker 3: and then becoming really close to him and being mentored

Speaker 3: by him. It's it was incredibly special to me, incredibly.

Speaker 2: Without a doubt. And I had not the same experience

Speaker 2: you did. But when we had our match and we

Speaker 2: were doing our thing, I mean, the phone would ring.

Speaker 2: It would say Dusty Road is calling and you know

Speaker 2: how you doing, you know, and I'm like, oh my god,

Speaker 2: he's calling me. True, you know, like it was such

Speaker 2: a big deal. He was such a sweet guy. Uh

Speaker 2: And so I know You've got a lot of Dusty

Speaker 2: Roads stories in the tell and uh and and that's now. Ryan,

Speaker 2: you got to see Ray's stand up comedy. Did you

Speaker 2: want to give him any critique? No, because he can

Speaker 2: beat me up. No, it was for your first time. Obviously,

Speaker 2: you have a stage presence, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2: So like you have a lot a lot of guys

Speaker 2: that go up there.

Speaker 5: Because I watched the graduation show that I ended up opening,

Speaker 5: and you see a lot of people, I mean, they

Speaker 5: they're just they're just new. They're looking down, They're not

Speaker 5: they're not looking out towards the audience, that kind of thing.

Speaker 5: They're not talking into the microphone a lot of the times,

Speaker 5: Ray's stage presence is good right out the gate, you know.

Speaker 5: So it's it's just working and crafting those stories into

Speaker 5: like hit by hit jokes, and that's that's gonna be

Speaker 5: pretty easy for you over time, because I think that

Speaker 5: was only what your third or fourth time being on stage. Yes, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 5: so you and you got to you got a great voice,

Speaker 5: you got the charisma for it. Uh, it's just gonna

Speaker 5: come down to the joke writing and and doing it

Speaker 5: because like obviously there's a lot of guys that have

Speaker 5: gone on the circuit and do it like your Mankind's

Speaker 5: your snake was doing it for a little while, and

Speaker 5: the stories are always so good. So it's just about

Speaker 5: punching up those stories. And you you have you have

Speaker 5: no fear already. The only thing I want for you

Speaker 5: is I just learned this by googling. Tell me if

Speaker 5: this is true. Did your entrance as Glacier and your

Speaker 5: debut cost half a million dollars?

Speaker 1: No, it's all that's been so exaggerating, okay, is like.

Speaker 2: This entrance costs half a million dollars.

Speaker 5: There was real snow, there's all that kind of stuff,

Speaker 5: And I'm like, you got to bring that into comedy.

Speaker 3: No, no, it was it was all that. It was

Speaker 3: actually foam like uh, like you would get on detergent.

Speaker 3: Actually it comes out there. Well it was a different time,

Speaker 3: different things at different times. But but no, And I

Speaker 3: think that where that story has grown is that over

Speaker 3: the years the costume itself, they hired a special effects

Speaker 3: studio U, a gentleman named Andre Friedez who's a great

Speaker 3: movie special effect technician, and he really did. He charged

Speaker 3: the I saw the invoice and from drawing board to

Speaker 3: finished product to create Glacier was about thirty five thousand

Speaker 3: dollars and that's to ninety six.

Speaker 2: So, and the idea at the time was to make

Speaker 2: Mortal Kombat characters, right.

Speaker 3: Yeah, because Mortal Kombat had become an unbelievably popular the

Speaker 3: video game, the movie had just come out all that,

Speaker 3: so so you know that was Turner's idea was, hey,

Speaker 3: can we bring this to life in the in the

Speaker 3: wrestling rank, right, And then at that time I didn't

Speaker 3: know the of course we would find out later. Turner

Speaker 3: TNT ended up doing the a TV show for a while,

Speaker 3: Mortal Kombat TV show that the Turner broadcast put out.

Speaker 3: So but no, it was the interest itself. It did

Speaker 3: cost an awful lot. I don't know what the final

Speaker 3: number was, but it's funny how.

Speaker 2: It wasn't half a million.

Speaker 1: No.

Speaker 3: Keith Mitchell, who was our executive producer, who has become

Speaker 3: a great friend of mine over the probably produced more

Speaker 3: wrestling than anybody. He went from WSHW to Total NonStop

Speaker 3: Action all those years, and then he was great friends

Speaker 3: with dust He Cody recruited him to a w the

Speaker 3: first three years, and then he went into retirement, which

Speaker 3: he so owned earned the right to retire. But but

Speaker 3: we were talking about it, he would just say, yeah,

Speaker 3: you know, every time I hear people talk, the number

Speaker 3: keeps going up on what your interance costs, and uh,

Speaker 3: and I think it's just a story that has just

Speaker 3: grown into this mythical and somehow the number yea, four hundred,

Speaker 3: five hundred seems to be the one that people think

Speaker 3: is just like this, this unbelievable number. But but it

Speaker 3: did cost a lot back then because it had never

Speaker 3: been done, and it was having to go from major

Speaker 3: arena to arena. So it was it was it was

Speaker 3: several thousand dollars every time. I don't know what the

Speaker 3: number was.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it thirty five thout.

Speaker 5: I mean, like, so they designed this for you, did

Speaker 5: the thing from start to finish?

Speaker 2: Is that pretty common in Okay?

Speaker 1: Still not even today? It was.

Speaker 3: It was a very unique thing. I don't think i'd

Speaker 3: ever been done at that time. And when people hear

Speaker 3: those numbers, they always wanted to take. But no matter what,

Speaker 3: no matter how successful or not it would have been,

Speaker 3: people were still gonna say, oh it was you know,

Speaker 3: didn't really live up to that price tag or whatever.

Speaker 3: But so, yeah, it had never been done. We were

Speaker 3: really just stepping into completely uncharted territory.

Speaker 2: We really were.

Speaker 3: And uh and I remember during this whole process when

Speaker 3: I was getting ready to debut, I'm thinking, man, I

Speaker 3: just want to bear wrestler.

Speaker 5: Get thrown, because like hype can ruin things, you know

Speaker 5: what I mean. And they hype that.

Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, even I'll say, even more than they should have.

Speaker 3: But once again, they were kind of figuring it out

Speaker 3: as they were going. And if you go back and look,

Speaker 3: they ran all these vignettes for a while, and then

Speaker 3: this little thing happened called the n w O right

Speaker 3: in the middle of them running these vignettes, and so

Speaker 3: they stopped for a while and they thought, let's let's

Speaker 3: let that thing kind of and they didn't realize they

Speaker 3: would explode. To be what it was, everything took kind

Speaker 3: of a back seat. But uh but yeah, I remember

Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, arn Anderson telling me one time,

Speaker 3: uh he was he would agent a lot of my

Speaker 3: matches and he just comes up to me one day

Speaker 3: before the match. He goes, he goes ray, he goes man,

Speaker 3: he goes, you gonna have to walk on water after

Speaker 3: that entrest, buddy.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of pressure.

Speaker 2: So do you feel do you feel that kind of

Speaker 2: pressure now that we're getting on stage doing stand up comedy?

Speaker 2: How does that compare to wrestling?

Speaker 3: It absolutely terrifies me, which is why I decided to

Speaker 3: do it. Really, it's, uh, you know, I was I

Speaker 3: feel like you know that that's saying, you know, a

Speaker 3: man needs a mission, you know, and wrestling. I love wrestling.

Speaker 3: It's been so good to me. I'm so thankful to

Speaker 3: be where I am workwise with AW But on the

Speaker 3: time when I have off, I just thought, you know,

Speaker 3: like I still I love wrestling. I'm a fan first,

Speaker 3: I always will be. I love wrestling fans and I thought,

Speaker 3: you know, I have all these great stories I really

Speaker 3: would love to share with people. Yeah, and maybe this

Speaker 3: is the way I can do that. So I'm really

Speaker 3: I'm not like trying to do it. I'm not trying

Speaker 3: to dip my toe. I'm really diving in, you know,

Speaker 3: one hundred percent. I really want to do this to

Speaker 3: hopefully just bring some joy to the wrestling fans and

Speaker 3: maybe just stand up comedy fans who might can learn

Speaker 3: a lot about pro wrestling and how cool it was

Speaker 3: for me.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, well listen, if they want

Speaker 2: to check you out, how do they do it?

Speaker 1: Yeah?

Speaker 2: you're it's all it's all blowney is what do you

Speaker 2: say to those folks?

Speaker 6: I don't you don't let them believe what they want

Speaker 6: to believe. Like, who am I to tell somebody what

Speaker 6: they need to believe in what they don't? I have

Speaker 6: my own experiences that have shaped my beliefs, right, But

Speaker 6: I think if somebody doesn't believe in it, like, that's cool.

Speaker 2: There's things I don't believe in. So what what makes okay?

Speaker 2: So what makes you think that you're talking to the

Speaker 2: like how do you know what has happened and is real? Yeah,

Speaker 2: that's a great question. So I have always had this

Speaker 2: ability to connect. So when I'm receiving information from someone

Speaker 2: that's departed, they're sharing things with me, like who they were,

Speaker 2: how they passed signs and symbols, things like that. And

Speaker 2: so when I'm doing readings for people, I'm delivering messages

Speaker 2: from those that are in spirit. And so you know,

Speaker 2: I have been I've had my brain scanned. I've had

Speaker 2: an EEG done on my brain while I gave readings. Fascinating, fascinating.

Speaker 2: My brain looks like I was in like deep sleep

Speaker 2: while I was still active in talking. And there's a

Speaker 2: bunch of other sciencey stuff that happened. I've been certified

Speaker 2: by the Forever Family Foundation. They put mediums through rigorous

Speaker 2: testing to put their seal of approval on you, where

Speaker 2: I had to do a bunch of blind readings and

Speaker 2: give as much evidence as possible of the person that's departed.

Speaker 6: Right, But you know, I think here's the thing. Mediums

Speaker 6: and psychics, we can only share what we're receiving. None

Speaker 6: of us can prove that it's real. I'm and I'm

Speaker 6: okay with that, and that would okay.

Speaker 2: I would be frustrated with that if I knew in

Speaker 2: my heart, like like I know that I'm really picking

Speaker 2: this up. I'm not lying to you, and people break

Speaker 2: to call me a liar, I'd be mad as hell

Speaker 2: all the time.

Speaker 6: Well, because I know I'm not lying, so it doesn't

Speaker 6: bother me. Oh so if somebody is, like, you know,

Speaker 6: if somebody doesn't believe in it, like, that's okay, Yeah,

Speaker 6: I know what's I know?

Speaker 2: It feels real for me, right.

Speaker 1: This gentleman is a medium.

Speaker 2: He speaks to the dead. Do you have a question

Speaker 2: for him?

Speaker 7: I do.

Speaker 5: How does it relate into your some like like to

Speaker 5: being gay, like were you like, No, it's just in you.

Speaker 5: Is it kind of like innate inside of you.

Speaker 6: Yeah, Like I don't know what it's like to be straight,

Speaker 6: So like it's the same thing with talking to dead people,

Speaker 6: Like I don't know what it's like to not receive it.

Speaker 6: There was a realization one day for both, you know

Speaker 6: what I mean, where like You're like, okay, and did

Speaker 6: that did it feel just it just feels natural?

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 6: So like when I was growing up, I would see

Speaker 6: like shadow figures and people in my room. I would

Speaker 6: hear things. I would I would get visions, and I

Speaker 6: would tell my you know, it never really scared me.

Speaker 6: But you know, when I was a kid, I was

Speaker 6: always fascinated with, like what happens when we die? I

Speaker 6: love hanging out in cemeteries like super normal sexual adcentivity.

Speaker 6: My granny and I used to use the Ouiji board

Speaker 6: to connect with our loved ones that had departed, and

Speaker 6: so like this has always been kind of a part

Speaker 6: of my life. It wasn't there wasn't one moment, but

Speaker 6: there was like a series of moments I look back

Speaker 6: on and I'm like, oh, that makes total sense. Like

Speaker 6: beingka is like, oh, that's why I liked dancing to

Speaker 6: Britney spears in my mom's backyard like, oh, this makes

Speaker 6: so much sense.

Speaker 2: Well, I just like boobs.

Speaker 4: Does that make me a half lesbian?

Speaker 6: Listen, I'm not here to tell you how you need

Speaker 6: to identify.

Speaker 4: For you said that I'm bisexual.

Speaker 2: Bass, I want to know.

Speaker 7: I want to know.

Speaker 6: Listen, I you do you babe?

Speaker 2: So when was the first time that you got a

Speaker 2: message from maybe somebody who was you know, past, and

Speaker 2: to deliver it to someone that you knew, or a

Speaker 2: friend or something like that and it freaked them out?

Speaker 2: Like do you remember the first time that you got

Speaker 2: the message and you told someone and they totally flipped out?

Speaker 2: I do so.

Speaker 6: Back when I used to drink. I've been sober for

Speaker 6: six years, but back when I used to drink, I

Speaker 6: would like read my friend's tarot cards, which is different

Speaker 6: than mediumship. But then while I was reading my friend's cards,

Speaker 6: my friend's grandfather came through and he had done some

Speaker 6: pretty awful things to her that she hadn't told me.

Speaker 6: And I said he's coming through and saying he's sorry

Speaker 6: for X, Y and Z, and she just started crying and.

Speaker 2: Bawling because she hadn't told anyone.

Speaker 6: She hadn't told anybody wow, and that was something that

Speaker 6: she carried it and I didn't know where it came

Speaker 6: from because I'd been drinking. I was like, that was

Speaker 6: a really random thing to say to somebody, right, And

Speaker 6: then when I went to go see my first psychic,

Speaker 6: that was one of the first things that she said

Speaker 6: to me. She was like, you communicate with those that

Speaker 6: have departed?

Speaker 2: Hmmm.

Speaker 6: And I was like and I was like, okay, well

Speaker 6: what does that mean? And then it wouldn't unfold for

Speaker 6: me for a few more years. And then during the pandemic,

Speaker 6: I got sober from alcohol. I left a seventeen year

Speaker 6: career the beauty industry. I started meditating and then I

Speaker 6: got on TikTok and started reading for people.

Speaker 2: So, okay, does it just turn on and turn off?

Speaker 2: Like have you ever gone to Like Okay, today I'm

Speaker 2: supposed to be performing, and oh man, I'm getting no message.

Speaker 2: So I guess I got to make something up, like

Speaker 2: does it happen like that something? Or do you always

Speaker 2: get a message?

Speaker 6: I never make it up. If I'm not feeling anything,

Speaker 6: I just say I'm never feeling it.

Speaker 1: He never made it up.

Speaker 7: No, never, Okay, Because here's the thing. Question, Yeah, I

Speaker 7: want you to talk to my grandpa. He's like super dead.

Speaker 7: I miss his advice because it's way over.

Speaker 2: Now can she order it like she's ordering a hamburger

Speaker 2: like that? Or it works?

Speaker 6: It has to come through naturally and organically, I will

Speaker 6: say no, it's okay. Like listen, And here's the thing.

Speaker 6: I never I never force, you know, souls to come through.

Speaker 6: I never, you know, I never forced through. But you

Speaker 6: know I do have Grandpa's not what you're drinking a spirit.

Speaker 6: Your grandpa's a gun right right right? So and so

Speaker 6: when a soul comes through, you all start to give

Speaker 6: this like anxiety. My chest, my throat will kind of

Speaker 6: start to tighten. And then he had the issues with

Speaker 6: the heart or the lungs, my grandpa. Yes, okay. Why

Speaker 6: have somebody's father figure here who had issues with the

Speaker 6: heart or the lungs or there was issues with breath

Speaker 6: or issues with breathing prior to the departure anybody?

Speaker 5: Do you know what your dad died of, Ryan my

Speaker 5: broken heart because his child became a comedian. My grandpa

Speaker 5: died of lung cancer.

Speaker 6: Okay, so you have the grandfather that's departed from lung cancer.

Speaker 6: And then who got his name or who got his

Speaker 6: name passed down? This would be first or middle, my

Speaker 6: mom got his name. Okay, because he's wanting to acknowledge

Speaker 6: the name that's here in the physical world and wanting

Speaker 6: to acknowledge the name being passed down. I want you

Speaker 6: to know that there is there's a conversation right now

Speaker 6: that's happening around moving or around relocation in the family.

Speaker 6: Who's talking about moving or relocating.

Speaker 2: Me and my wife for moving.

Speaker 6: Perfect, So just validating for you that his presence is

Speaker 6: with you and checking in on you. Even though those

Speaker 6: loved ones that that we think like you're gone or

Speaker 6: maybe you're not checking in, they do give us those

Speaker 6: things to check in on, just to let us know, like, hey,

Speaker 6: I'm here.

Speaker 5: I've dreamed about my grandpa all the time. But it's

Speaker 5: it's because he died when I was ten and like

Speaker 5: horrific lung cancer. Yeah, but I have these dreams that

Speaker 5: like he and I don't really like I only had

Speaker 5: ten years and a lot of that is being a

Speaker 5: little child, but it's a lot of like he comes

Speaker 5: to me in a dream. It's like, hey, I'm in

Speaker 5: the CIA. I actually didn't die. I'm but I'm here

Speaker 5: and I'm keeping an eye on you. Yeah, but I've

Speaker 5: got to go.

Speaker 2: I gotta go. Don't tell anybody so perfect.

Speaker 6: So the message that I just gave you of him

Speaker 6: letting you know that he checks in on you, validating

Speaker 6: for you, those messages that are in your dreams. I

Speaker 6: always love when I get the skeptics. Yeah, those those

Speaker 6: skeptics are the ones I always end up reading for

Speaker 6: its fine.

Speaker 2: Does that does that make you feel like, oh, they

Speaker 2: kind of he kind of hit it or do you

Speaker 2: feel like that's a vague? How do you feel about

Speaker 2: what he just said to you?

Speaker 5: The skeptic in me goes like everybody's got a dead grandpa,

Speaker 5: you know what I mean?

Speaker 2: But I don't know. I like Travis. Yeah, I'm not

Speaker 2: for anybody's beliefs.

Speaker 6: My job is just to share, And I tell people

Speaker 6: in my live show all the time like, I don't

Speaker 6: care if people believe in mediums. I don't care if

Speaker 6: they look at me and they think this guy is

Speaker 6: full of that. I would learn that would make me

Speaker 6: so it doesn't. My job is just to validate for people.

Speaker 6: My job is not to prove that what I do

Speaker 6: is real.

Speaker 2: Right.

Speaker 6: My job is to validate for people the things that

Speaker 6: they're feeling, the things that they're experiencing are their loved ones,

Speaker 6: like your dreams.

Speaker 2: That's it.

Speaker 6: If I can validate that for somebody like yeah, absolutely,

Speaker 6: and this loved one is watching over you, I've done

Speaker 6: my job.

Speaker 2: Gotcha, Okay? And what about like like Daisy or someone

Speaker 2: who's like, hey, I want to talk to you know,

Speaker 2: I want to talk to my grandpa. I want to

Speaker 2: talk to my sister. I know, but Grandpa do won't

Speaker 2: talk to you?

Speaker 7: See that?

Speaker 4: I don't how come Ryan gets it? It's not cool.

Speaker 2: Man. Do you speak Spanish? Maybe that's the problem.

Speaker 6: No, you know what, here's the thing. That's actually a

Speaker 6: great question. So they'll use my frame of reference. So

Speaker 6: they'll show me signs, pictures, feelings. I'll feel things. It

Speaker 6: doesn't matter if they spoke a different language or not.

Speaker 6: It's just the way that they make me feel.

Speaker 4: I just really miss him giving me chocolates. Man, She's

Speaker 4: the only man that's ever given me chocolates that are good.

Speaker 2: Oh that's so sweet.

Speaker 7: Though he was sweet, and my grandma kicked him out

Speaker 7: of the house and put him in a tiny condo.

Speaker 2: If you go to Disney World, do you go to

Speaker 2: the mall or something like that. Do you get random

Speaker 2: stuff like, oh, I just got a message from somebody

Speaker 2: and I don't even know who you're supposed to go to.

Speaker 6: Sometimes I feel things, but you know, I can tune it.

Speaker 6: I can turn it down. I can't turn it off,

Speaker 6: but I can turn it down. And so you know,

Speaker 6: so that's nice. I'm not like sitting on my couch like,

Speaker 6: oh my god, somebody's like dead Dad is coming through

Speaker 6: and wanting to share with me. You know what happens.

Speaker 2: So the nice thing is go like, shut up, dead Dad. God,

Speaker 2: I'm just trying to eat my spaghetti.

Speaker 6: Sometimes when I'm mounted in public, all feel things are

Speaker 6: all like, I'll get impressions. But I have a rule,

Speaker 6: you know, if I'm if I'm near someone and their

Speaker 6: loved one starts to come through, right, my rule is

Speaker 6: to get is for the spirit to have that person

Speaker 6: bring up in conversation their departed loved one.

Speaker 2: So last question, okay, so so obviously you do believe

Speaker 2: that you're talking to the spirit world in your in

Speaker 2: your mind, what is the spirit world?

Speaker 1: Where is it?

Speaker 2: What, what does it look like?

Speaker 6: To you, it's all around us. It's to me it's

Speaker 6: like frequency or sound or Wi Fi or radio waves.

Speaker 6: I don't believe that what we know of is heaven

Speaker 6: is a physical place. I believe that it's an energetic

Speaker 6: state that we exist in. I believe that our energy,

Speaker 6: we are energy before we come into these physical bodies, right,

Speaker 6: we are energies inhabiting these meat suits, and when we

Speaker 6: depart this physical body, that energy continues on. So the

Speaker 6: only process that we know of as death is just

Speaker 6: physical death of the body, but not death of the

Speaker 6: soul or the consciousness.

Speaker 4: You see, Angel, So if you die tomorrow, you're just

Speaker 4: a piece of meat.

Speaker 2: You can still exist, You're still around.

Speaker 6: But I believe that it's all around us, and I

Speaker 6: believe our loved ones are around us.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 2: Are you getting any other messages right now? Anything else?

Speaker 2: Or just just the one with Ryan.

Speaker 6: That's the That's the one that was coming through the strongest. Okay,

Speaker 6: that's one that was coming through the strongest. And you know,

Speaker 6: and what I love about the live experience is that

Speaker 6: I don't know what's going to happen sure, which is

Speaker 6: really fun. You know, I don't know what the loved

Speaker 6: ones are going to come up with, or what they're

Speaker 6: going to say, or but you know, there's always something

Speaker 6: fascinating that happens. I had somebody's grandmother flash me at

Speaker 6: a show a couple of weeks ago. And it turns

Speaker 6: out that she she used to set off her medical

Speaker 6: alert bracelet and then when the firemen would come into

Speaker 6: her room, she would flash them. So when I looked

Speaker 6: at this woman and I was like, your grandmother just

Speaker 6: flashed me, she goes, Oh my god, that's my grandmother.

Speaker 6: She knew exactly what it was. Yeah, so I think,

Speaker 6: you know, coming to the live experience is a great

Speaker 6: way to see how all this was.

Speaker 2: Where is the live experience and when's it going to be?

Speaker 6: I'll be at sand for at the West End, the

Speaker 6: West End, thank you so much on Saturday, this Saturday night,

Speaker 6: this Saturday. We only have a few tickets left.

Speaker 2: At the West End.

Speaker 2: Okay, And when they go, I mean, you could you

Speaker 2: could be reading for them. You don't know, it could

Speaker 2: happen for whoever's in the audience.

Speaker 6: Right totally at random.

Speaker 2: Okay, very good, Well, listen, thank you for coming in

Speaker 2: and tell us about about your experience.

Speaker 6: That's pretty thanks, y'all, I appreciate you.

Speaker 2: All right, very good. Once again, it's as Travis A.

Speaker 1: So just the name of the few of the bands

Speaker 1: in the Indoor Football League.

Speaker 2: But we have the most generic name. But we got

Speaker 2: one of the best team.

Speaker 1: But the pirates Man, the logo, the color scheme, I

Speaker 1: do like that Pops on television.

Speaker 2: All I'm not saying is bad. It's just not as

Speaker 2: as I.

Speaker 1: Like the name.

Speaker 2: I don't mind it at all.

Speaker 5: The unfortunate part, though, is that there is an actual

Speaker 5: football team, like a soccer club called the Orlando.

Speaker 2: Africa.

Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some confusion about.

Speaker 2: It hoping it into Google. Yah, it pulls up them.

Speaker 1: Yeah, there is. That's been the unfortunate part, I think.

Speaker 1: And uh, we'll see how they mitigate that. But yeah,

Speaker 1: you definitely when you're looking up, you got to go

Speaker 1: Orlando Pirates indoor football team and then they'll take you

Speaker 1: to their page. And I'm a fan of the lot ago,

Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the color scheme. Yeah, I think

Speaker 1: it's cool.

Speaker 2: I do think it's cool.

Speaker 4: Yeah, it's are cool. And we're in Florida. Everybody knows

Speaker 1: be that's the money.

Speaker 2: Bet I been out of the group stage. I don't

Speaker 5: States and anybody is not an option.

Speaker 7: This is going to be Spain who wins or friends,

Speaker 7: and then Portugal's like fifth, and then Brazil like four.

Speaker 4: Oh that's right, Argentina's I think three or four.

Speaker 1: Carolina Hurricane. We're gonna go to NHL action again. We're

Speaker 1: fast in theories with the Sponster Sports this morning. The

Speaker 1: Carolin Hurricanes won last night, beat the Canadians for to zero.

Speaker 1: Go Caitlin Clark. And then the early game in the

Speaker 1: w NBA tonight, it's gonna be Aces versus the Wings.

Speaker 5: Answer your question real quick, Angel to get out of

Speaker 5: the group stage for the US, it's a plus four hundred.

Speaker 1: So if you put you so, if you put what

Speaker 1: one hundred bucks down, you win five.

Speaker 2: If I put one hundred bucks down, I would win

Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. You're may good a man.

Speaker 1: Yeah, uh so, a couple of things. We've got NBA

Speaker 1: Action Playoff Action tonight, and the Spurs our phase are

Speaker 1: trying to starve off elimination. They're going up against the

Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder. In the rest of the United States

Speaker 1: of America, Russ, no one wants to see the Oklahoma

Speaker 1: City Thunder play any more basketball. Yeah, but the Knicks, man, Yeah,

Speaker 1: well yeah, that's gonna be given, I think. But even

Speaker 1: but here's the thing, even right now doesn't matter which

Speaker 1: team goes in right now, Russ, even with that scenario,

Speaker 1: the Knicks still aren't the favorite.

Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, so everybody thinks the Spurs and Kansas City

Speaker 2: are better than would be favored. Yeah, than the Knicks

Speaker 2: the next and Nick's, but they are on eleven game

Speaker 2: winning streak.

Speaker 1: A couple of neat things about Victor woman and Yam

Speaker 1: of the last few days. We didn't talk about it,

Speaker 1: but his number one trading cards sold the other day

Speaker 1: for five point one million dollars in a private sale.

Speaker 1: How does this land on you, guys. I'm curious because

Speaker 1: it doesn't seem there's two camps on this. So after

Speaker 1: their last loss, Victor blew off the press conference. Typically

Speaker 1: postgame you've got to sit there and he gotta take

Speaker 1: it there. So he didn't. He didn't attend. And as

Speaker 1: of all the reports of right now say why you

Speaker 1: would because he was pissed off they.

Speaker 2: Think they lost. I don't get fined.

Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, normally you would get fined. Yeah,

Speaker 1: it seems out of character. It looks like as as

Speaker 1: a preliminary reports are that all he's getting is a

Speaker 1: little tongue lashing and fingerwave by the NBA, and that's

Speaker 1: bothering people. So getting like that special treatment, that's why

Speaker 1: they want to be the face of the NBA. And

Speaker 1: that's where you start as a league. That's where you

Speaker 1: start getting yourself in trouble when you start breaking your

Speaker 1: own rules to you know.

Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess I can imagine having to like lose

Speaker 5: a big games and then you like.

Speaker 2: You're forced to sat there and bottle.

Speaker 5: It doesn't need to be it's a hundred a guy

Speaker 5: that's like, like, okay, team who wants to go talk you?

Speaker 2: Okay, cool, you go and you do it.

Speaker 1: This dispectly disagree. Yeah, that's when I get hard of

Speaker 1: the millions.

Speaker 2: Yeah, take your ass out there and talk about the music. Yeah,

Speaker 2: it's just like it would be so hard to do that.

Speaker 1: No, no, no, but they okay, so understand this and

Speaker 1: all sports, though russ are ryan. As soon as the

Speaker 1: games are over, the team goes to the locker room

Speaker 1: and there is a twenty to thirty minute cooling off

Speaker 1: period before the athletes have to put uh in front

Speaker 1: of the media. The reason the athletes are put in

Speaker 1: front of the media is that they've got relationship partners

Speaker 1: with some of the broadcast entities that are about that.

Speaker 1: So that's the part of the transactional part of playing

Speaker 1: professional sports. That's that's the gig.

Speaker 2: But why do we have to talk to the losers

Speaker 2: at all, you know what I mean? Like it's I

Speaker 2: want to hear with the winners that back, I don't

Speaker 2: want to hear the losers.

Speaker 1: They talked to both of them know about all right,

Speaker 1: So talking about gambling though, here's the fun part, all right.

Speaker 1: So this guy, let's just call him, for lack of

Speaker 1: a better name, Brian, but not our Ryan, right, okay,

Speaker 1: so this guy back the uh let's see back in.

Speaker 1: I have the date here, well the better Okay, this

Speaker 1: is uh Valentine's eight February fourteenth. Guy go Goes opens

Speaker 1: up his app. Right, there's one of the gambling episodes,

Speaker 1: you know, any one of them, right, and he puts

Speaker 1: down twenty five hundred dollars for four leg parlay. Right,

Speaker 1: the odds were back then. I won't give you with

Speaker 1: the odds because I think that'll tell you what what

Speaker 1: he yeah, what he would stand to win. But this

Speaker 1: was his four leg parlay rush. He needed the Michigan

Speaker 1: to win the men's college basketball title, right, did that?

Speaker 1: Needed the US men's hockey team to win the gold

Speaker 1: medal at the twenty twenty six Winter Olympics. That did that?

Speaker 1: Did needed the Knicks all he needed the knicksy do

Speaker 1: to win the Eastern Conference. They did that, they did.

Speaker 1: That's it.

Speaker 2: Just the Eastern Conference. That's the last one he needs.

Speaker 1: The last one he needs is San Antonio's first to

Speaker 1: win the Western Conference.

Speaker 2: I think he's got this right.

Speaker 1: So if they win the Western Conference, he puts down

Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars if he gets this victory, if

Speaker 1: they if they win the conference, how much money do

Speaker 1: you think he's going to stand to win? One point

Speaker 1: seven million? One point seven million dollars? Like you almost

Speaker 1: have a story right in front of you. Oh I

Speaker 1: did not. That was a complete guest.

Speaker 4: He knows how to read the mind.

Speaker 1: Oh that's right, rubbed off? Are so like I said,

Speaker 1: we got that game tonight one point seven? Yeah, I'll

Speaker 1: be damn, I swear to god. I just guess I

Speaker 1: don't know what parlay. And so then tonight's game is

Speaker 1: gonna be a good Thunder versus Spurs. Then that's an

Speaker 1: eight thirty game, and see if the Spurs can hold

Speaker 1: off the Thunder and get to a game seven.

Speaker 2: You put how much down?

Speaker 5: Twenty five hundred twenty five dollars? That's crazy, Like the

Speaker 5: Knicks anything was a crazy long shot bed the the

Speaker 5: the USA to win the gold And then now he's

Speaker 5: watching this San Antonio game, like.

Speaker 1: He's on like the next two days. Well he needs

Speaker 1: them to win the next two.

Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, so which is gonna be hard because like

Speaker 5: I didn't realize the stat but like, if a team

Speaker 5: is up three and two third percent of winning is

Speaker 5: eighty five percent of winning the series.

Speaker 1: So the only thing that so what helps them is

Speaker 1: that the Spurs are going back home. I anticipated them

Speaker 1: to give a really crazy effort, but the hardest thing

Speaker 1: for them was always going to be winning once they

Speaker 1: gave up home court advantage, was trying to win another

Speaker 1: game in Oklahoma and.

Speaker 5: Eighty Unless you're the Orlando manager, that's all right, we

Speaker 5: take a little break.

Speaker 2: We come.

Speaker 1: We got mo for the weekend.

Speaker 2: Also in the next hour, a big country is here

Speaker 2: and he got together with our buddy monster music man

Speaker 2: Matt and it has a brand new song to.

Speaker 1: Debut, So a couple of songs. I like this guy.

Speaker 5: He's hustling man, and so we got to ask him

Speaker 5: if he's down to make some wine. No, I don't know,

Speaker 5: We're not doing it.

Speaker 2: Don't know anywhere.
