Ansel Burch 0:00
Please, let's talk about venk.
Ben Silverio 0:09
Hey, I am so sorry.
Ben Silverio 0:17
Hey, I'm Ben Silverio. I'm Byron air conditioning unit, and I'm Ansel Burch, and it's time
Ansel Burch 0:26
to party. We are not doctors. We don't give medical advice. Please drink responsibly. This episode was recorded on May 6, 2025 and this is our special bloopers episode. We're throwing in all the stuff that didn't fit into the regular episodes. And I'll be honest with you, most of this is going to be about wrestling. So if you're a wrestling fan, boy howdy, do we have some takes that might be relevant to you? I honestly didn't know what to keep or take out or how to grade anything. So I hope, I hope it's good. Let us know. Reach out on socials that'd be, that'd be good for engagement, right? Yeah, fun drinking game for you at home, if you like our usual drinking and smoking games, take a drink every time. You can't tell whether or not the next thing is going to be about wrestling. That'll
Unknown Speaker 1:18
probably get you going.
Ansel Burch 1:21
Enjoy the show. Get you, get you hooked up with a discount on Slack.
Ben Silverio 1:29
Probably didn't know that we that we were harboring the Rebel spy on this episode.
Byron 1:36
Well, depending, I'm sure it'll be, it'll be something I don't know if you listen to the last episode I did, but
Ansel Burch 1:50
for the Star Trek 2009
Ben Silverio 1:51
Yeah, what is Starfleet coming after you? Now? Is that the Yeah, yeah. So they just did this awesome thing in Universal Studios called Fan Fest nights, and one of the experiences was Star Trek. And you go aboard the Enterprise D, it's pretty sick.
Byron 2:13
Oh, nice. Do they do it in like a building? But no, they
Ben Silverio 2:16
don't. So it's in one of the buildings that they use for Halloween Horror Nights. So it's like, it's like, one of those mazes, but like, not super scary. And the draw for the Star Trek area is that they use the actual bridge from
Ansel Burch 2:35
Picard. Oh, wow. Yeah. I mean, now that they have that, they would be idiots not to keep it and use it for something
Ben Silverio 2:43
absolutely like, oh God. Like, part of me wants them to preserve it, like, put it in a museum, but, like, it's kind of cool that I got to walk on that bridge.
Ansel Burch 2:53
That's so cool. I mean, I've rebuilt that sentence. How many times,
Ben Silverio 2:57
oh, right, after next gen they, I mean, I guess they had it for those movies. You know, after
Ansel Burch 3:05
those were all new, they didn't movies. Oh, really, as far as I know, they they had to rebuild it every time they made a fucking movie. Jesus, yeah, maybe, maybe they kept it in for two of them at a time. But, yeah, I don't think they knew. I don't think they knew that insurrection and Nemesis were coming when they made first contact. Yeah, a lot of
Byron 3:26
sets, especially if they're like, really specific, get pretty much destroyed, if, unless, there's some kind of, just, know, just from, from working in movies and everything like, but unless, if, like, you have, like, a really generic, like a, like, a, you know, White House set, or a generic, like hospital set, because I've watched a couple shows. I'm like, wait a minute, I've been on that set. And that was
Ben Silverio 3:53
speaking of things that have been repeated in movies and such. Another experience from that event was destination Hill Valley, and we got to go to Hill Valley square with the clock tower and everything, and walk around.
Byron 4:10
It was, I see, I saw something online for that, yeah, like, all the characters out and everything that's really cool. Oh yeah.
Ben Silverio 4:17
It was like, it was like, what's that theater experience in New York where you just follow around a character, oh, uh, sleep, no more or something, yeah, that's it, yeah, yeah. It was like that, except you're following the characters from Back to the Future. It was wild. I could have spent the entire time there at one point, because the story cycles every 45 minutes. At one point I was just talking to Goldie. Woo, well, exactly
Ansel Burch 4:53
No. Like, I don't know if you're aware, but you're done now.
Ben Silverio 4:58
You've done it all. It's, you know, but I was talking to Goldie Wilson during one of the cycles. It was really cool. He was telling me about his night classes. I'm like, I'll bet you could be mayor. And he's like, Mayor. I was like, I love this guy, all right, we should probably get started. Yeah, so, oh, my god, there was one.
Ansel Burch 5:25
Then you get to Byron, I guess no last name, picture without asking to say and hit and I'm just like, all together, say, magically, yeah. Okay, and then it will be magically synced up in post. Yeah. A note for both Ben and I, since we apparently get too excitable, try not to get louder when we say time to party, because we peek out the microphones on both ends and there's no usable audio. Oh,
Byron 6:11
is this guy's really low podcasting
Ben Silverio 6:18
you're working on the separate mix.
Ansel Burch 6:20
There it is,
Byron 6:26
yeah,
Ben Silverio 6:27
oh, my God, this guy,
Byron 6:34
he'll add in sound effects as needed. Yeah, sure. Why not
Ben Silverio 6:39
of Dick Van Dyke tripping over the Ottoman whenever we mess up.
Ansel Burch 6:43
Oh, God, I wish I had that. I'll see if I can find that. You gotta pre load it exactly. Yeah, there's, there's some, there are some in here, but they're all pretty generic. This is
Ben Silverio 6:54
as Dick Van Dyke, uh, famously said you have to preload it.
Byron 6:58
There you go. I Damn it. How
Ben Silverio 7:03
will I ever know if you're genuinely laughing at me anymore, it's
Byron 7:08
just gonna turn into how this works,
Ansel Burch 7:11
yeah, yeah. It's, yeah, how this works, and then how it get made. You know, it'll be a fun
Byron 7:18
because I totally, I totally tripped you up on the introduction. That's fine. I'll
Ansel Burch 7:25
probably put that in episode four. It'll be great.
Byron 7:27
There you go. Perfect. Yeah,
Ben Silverio 7:32
I was appearing on a podcast, and the night before, while I was doing my research, I couldn't fall asleep after so I ended up just staying up. And the podcast was at 10am so, you know, I just stayed up the whole day. Yeah, it's, it was not on purpose, so I've been trying to get back to it, but yet, I mean a normal sleep schedule, but that's probably not going to happen.
Byron 7:58
So yeah, thank you for for agreeing to do this so late. My kids go to sleep at like eight, and I was like, I don't want to be like, running to the computer.
Ben Silverio 8:09
Sure, no worries. But,
Byron 8:15
oh man, so you go ahead. I'm so let Byron go first. Oh, you let me. Oh, okay, yeah, you go first. I gotta, I gotta look at my notes here.
Ben Silverio 8:27
I would just like to point this out. It was actually at WrestleMania.
Byron 8:34
How is TKO
Ben Silverio 8:38
filling your quota of podcasters at a journalist.
Byron 8:41
No, I didn't mean
Ansel Burch 8:46
it's accurate, though,
Ben Silverio 8:49
totally kidding. I was just there as a fan shout out to my friend Danny Lee, who let me, who let me go with her, because I wasn't gonna go to WrestleMania like the actual WWE shows I went for everything surrounding wrestling, like I working on this, yes, so the show, I did not because I was very tired Byron, it was very late.
Byron 9:20
Like, yell at people why there aren't stairs for him to get into there and then throw himself a bunch of barbed wire.
Ben Silverio 9:28
Wanted to be there so bad. But one of the things that I was doing that weekend was I was, I'm working on a story about WWE ID, so I was interviewing some talents, and I was watching the first round of the WWE ID Championship tournament, and one of those shows was going on during spring break, so I couldn't go, but I did go to blood sport, which was the whole reason why I went. And that show was phenomenal. Pete Dunn is. Of my favorite wrestlers. So to watch him be unleashed against Timothy
Byron 10:04
Thatcher wrestle on an independent that's great.
Ben Silverio 10:07
Good for him. You did, yeah. Pete Dunn carrion cross, Charlie Dempsey, tavion heights and Natalia Neidhart oh and Carmen Petrovich were all on blood sport, oh and Shayna Baszler,
Byron 10:24
and they kept Effie as far away from it as humanly possible.
Ben Silverio 10:28
Well, you know, there has not been crossover for Fe as of yet, but we would love to see it. Yeah, Effie did feature some WWE ID talent on his show, on Big Gay brunch, I would like to spotlight Aaron Rourke, the dime piece, who is one of my new favorites after finding him during WrestleMania weekend, Aaron Roark is phenomenal. Highly recommend all of our wrestling fans to check him out also now I just want to real quick. Sorry, sorry, Ansel,
Ansel Burch 11:06
yes, it's okay. I'm just disassociating. It's carry on.
Byron 11:10
Listen. We'll get to Men in Black in a minute. We need to talk about our play fighting for a second. All right, everybody, because I have a million questions. And
Ben Silverio 11:20
next month, if you want to bring in someone to talk about Shakespeare while I sit there quietly, you're absolutely more than welcome.
Byron 11:29
Ironically, it's gonna be, it'll be really,
Ansel Burch 11:35
listen, I got a middle slide, doesn't. No one do a Winter's Tale,
Ben Silverio 11:42
God Byron, everything you brought up about CM Punk, yep, just huge pop, big fan. Because I don't know if you know, but this podcast is famously a a young bucks supporting podcast. Oh, well, it's, we
Byron 11:58
were a cocabana household here. So it's
Ben Silverio 12:00
absolutely all the respect in the world for cultivator, but we love Chicago news now, Maxwell Street
Byron 12:07
zone, Okay, before we go in, before we go into the movie and everything else, let me just get one more, one quick niche question, and for for Ben, for the WW ID story, did you get to interview Mr. Dangerous himself, Gabe Sapolsky,
Ben Silverio 12:26
I could not get to him. Unfortunately, I know I know I am friends with
Byron 12:33
LinkedIn, so,
Ben Silverio 12:38
yeah, so I just have to take advantage of that, yeah,
Byron 12:40
I could get you styles LinkedIn buddies with Joey Styles as well.
Ben Silverio 12:49
I used to be connected to Joey Styles as well. He He had my resume for a little while because I was trying to work@wwe.com but you know, that was long ago, because he's no longer in charge, but medical, yeah, he's just, he's fully out of the business. Now, I'm sure by the time this comes out, I'll be done my story, but or at least a part of it will be out anyway. I got to talk to super Sean legacy, Philly's finest, Marcus Mathers. Oh, nice. The global Nomad, Jordan oasis. I would like,
Byron 13:25
I have a buddy who loves evolve, and he's like, he loves Jordan Oasis, so he will get into Jordan
Ben Silverio 13:32
is great. He's super over the Vegas loved him. If I can, I'm going to try to squeeze in a couple more interviews, hopefully with some female talent, but we'll see. We gotta get Kylie Ray. Oh, dude, trust me, I'm a huge fan of Kylie after living in Chicago for six years, like I've seen her do a lot, and she's great. But currently I'm trying to figure out if I can get Zara Zucker, because she's in San Diego. So she's in LA fairly often. So I'm just trying to keep an eye out. But anyway, before Ansel completely now, real quick, before we completely lose
Byron 14:11
it, talk about cappuccino Jones,
Ben Silverio 14:13
the greatest. I mean, listen, I do, I do love cappuccino Jones. Not gonna lie, it's pretty great. He
Byron 14:21
won the whole tournament, correct?
Ben Silverio 14:24
The first round is still going on. They haven't determined the winner yet. Yeah, so WrestleMania was only the first round
Byron 14:36
of creating your title tournament. It's like Wrestlemania, no, like, we're gonna have the finals at Big slash.
Ben Silverio 14:44
It's a, it's a double elimination tournament. So there's only one person who is eliminated so far. Oh, so, yeah, that's Sam Holloway. Oh, so you
Byron 14:54
have to lose twice to Oh, okay, that's actually an interesting concept. Yeah. Yeah, watch all of this. Oh, well, I mean, well, it's not like the internet doesn't have a bunch of bunch of wrestling you know. You know, streaming platforms all over it, but I guess we don't have one to show us this double elimination tournament,
Ben Silverio 15:20
I know, right? Or it's gonna be on several
Byron 15:22
different ones that don't make any sense.
Ben Silverio 15:26
I mean, I I'm pretty sure find some of them on, like GC, W's platform, on FSW, platform, on wrestling. I mean, I think most of them are on Triller, okay, at this point, but you know, you just got to know what you're looking for. I guess at this point, I just watching,
Byron 15:43
I want to continue this conversation, just to watch Ansel do his taxes. Over on the other side,
Byron 15:54
continuing this,
Ansel Burch 15:56
my favorite part is I keep thinking that you're making up fake wrestlers to troll me, and then we have
Ben Silverio 16:03
not made a single wrestler yet.
Byron 16:04
All these, yeah, 100% real, including cappuccino Jones. Who was the
Ansel Burch 16:09
that was what that was. When I thought you were doing it, I was like, oh, cappuccino Jones, they're fucking with me now, okay,
Ben Silverio 16:18
yeah, I can't confirm he is a real person that I've seen wrestle.
Ansel Burch 16:23
I googled him.
Byron 16:24
We can't confirm he's not a hologram wrestler, that he is, in fact, real.
Ben Silverio 16:29
No, hologram is an Aw, that's true. Not to be confused with Harley Graham, yeah, who is very similar to Harley Cameron, but cannot confirm whether it is Yes, right?
Ben Silverio 16:52
Ansel, you should look into timeless Tony storm.
Ansel Burch 16:55
Oh yes, that is what I know, yeah.
Ben Silverio 16:59
See because her, latest promos have just been fire talking about
Ansel Burch 17:05
exactly one I've watched exactly one wrestling show in recent memory that wasn't in the presence of one of the two of you. Oh, and she was featured in it. Yeah. So I have gotten to experience it. I
Byron 17:21
tried to get you to go to a chicara show one time, and then we found out that, yeah, they, they all, they're all sex perverts anyway. So getting back to our movie,
Ben Silverio 17:40
oh, Byron. I'm not sure if you know this about me, but chicara was my home promotion for a long time in Philadelphia. Like that was the indie that I went to. Oh, not a ton. So I was, I was hit very hard with that news, when all that stuff came out.
Byron 17:55
Oh, man, I was so bumped when it had, when I heard everything, and I'm like,
Ben Silverio 18:01
Ah, this sucks. And Ansel, this was, like the the family friendly comic book come to life version of pro wrestling, you know, you cheered the good guys and booed the bad guys. You know, it was they had an entire season where they went rogue, basically, where, like, the promotion fell apart, but like, the pieces of it lived on in other promotions, and then at the end of the season, like came back together. It was taken
Byron 18:29
over by this conglomerate and like that, like had, like, secret armies, like Bosnia, or whatever like it was. It was so sure. It was such an awesome promotion. And
Ansel Burch 18:41
it just sounds really bad. It felt so bad. Yeah,
Ben Silverio 18:46
along with a number of wrestlers during speaking out, we
Ansel Burch 18:51
don't even get the two of you to do a wrestling podcast,
Byron 18:55
bullshit about wrestling and Well, here we try to out wrestle one another like you. That's how you get invited to the show. You hit me with an obscure name. I'll hit you an obscure name. And then we just realized, Oh, we actually know we're the two people in the world who know all this shit.
Ben Silverio 19:15
Listen, I had exactly one day of wrestling training, so I feel like I'm qualified to
Byron 19:21
I just been staring at it intently. Well, I may or may not be on the influence of something
Ben Silverio 19:33
I'm told that helps Listen, oh, my God, I may or may not have been. I know we wrestling referee
Byron 19:38
at one point, but that's beaten beyond Oh.
Ben Silverio 19:40
Wrestled a couple times where I was a real Teemu version of sting, basically, and got a trench coat and everything, yeah, yeah, basically,
Byron 19:56
coming to the rigs All right
Ben Silverio 19:58
party people. So. Thank you for coming back to time to party. We'll see how much of that wrestling stuff stays in
Byron 20:07
all. What we just talked about will be put in Episode Four.
Ansel Burch 20:10
Episode Four, it's gonna be tasty. Join us in episode four, for lots of wrestling.
Ben Silverio 20:17
20 minutes. Oh, man, when Archibald Peck got hired at WWE, I was like, we're truly in a golden age, but Ansel
Byron 20:33
is trying to play us up, like it's the Emmys at this point,
Byron 20:41
was a day where you could get comic books for free to go check it out and see, fortunately, that day as well.
Ben Silverio 20:50
That day has unfortunately
Ansel Burch 20:53
passed the day before. Yes, it just
Ben Silverio 20:56
happened. Oh, it just happened over the weekend. Oh, my goodness, Free Comic Book Day is something that everyone should be supporting. Support your local comic book shop, even if it's not Free Comic Book Day, so you can give them money that they desperately need. If you're in Chicago, go to challengers just because they're not sponsoring us or anything. I just love challengers good. They're great.
Ansel Burch 21:20
I I was sad to miss them. They didn't get their they
Byron 21:22
didn't get their copy, and we can't have them as a sponsor. They gotta give us copy.
Ben Silverio 21:25
I know. I'm sorry, Patrick and doll gotta set their game up. I guess
Ansel Burch 21:30
if they asked, we totally would too. I
Ben Silverio 21:33
know, right. Don't even have to pay us or anything, as
Byron 21:36
long as I get to write the copy. And Elvin has nothing to do with challenger comics.
Ansel Burch 21:47
I got to go to goblin market for a Free Comic Book Day this year because I failed to make it to challengers before they closed like normal business at five o'clock. It's a lovely time. So check out goblin market too. They're less of a comic book store and more of a manga shop, but still, good
Ben Silverio 22:05
love still deserve your patronage. Oh, please buy books wherever you can. Amazon. Buy books from all the places other than Amazon. Until then, be excellent to each other
Ansel Burch 22:21
and party on dude, party on dude. Sorry, excellent. No, that was perfect. I can cut my part out.
Ansel Burch 22:33
But yes, so, so mono, uh,
Byron 22:35

Ansel Burch 22:43

Byron 22:48
That's what caught that's what caused him to be like, fuck it. I'm done. Yeah,
Ansel Burch 22:52
I can't anymore. That's enough of that. Five minutes later, hey, there it is. There we go.
Byron 23:02
We thought. We thought flying Yankee philosophy that you're just like, fuck it. That's it. I've had enough.
Ben Silverio 23:10
That's what, bro. That's it. Anyways, yeah, my internet dropped out. Oh, that was fun. I Sorry to interrupt. You're fine. You're fine. But yeah, so the is that gonna, is that gonna mess up the recording?
Ansel Burch 23:29
No, it'll just create, it'll create a new one that I'll just have to sync up later. Gotcha, which is fine.
Ben Silverio 23:37
Luckily, I didn't do much talking yet. So yeah,
Ansel Burch 23:41
we could do this thing. Okay, hold on, all right. So on the count of three, we all clap. So 123, clap. Got it. 123,
