Sometimes you don't know the spin is happening and they're calling it out and they're putting their percentages on it. It's really cool. Good way to see the news and to take the BS out. We appreciate them. Groundnews.com. Be informed, not influenced. That's the tagline, Chris. Hey, none of that influencer stuff. Can't be biased influencing. We don't want that. We want the information.
There is a difference between information and influence. I learned about politics. That's all politics is, right? It's all influence. The original influencers is your senators in Congress. Any other thoughts? I mean, I saw the news about WrestleMania. I can't believe how big wrestling still is. WrestleMania just happened this past weekend at two nights. John Cena's the championship again.

I mean, I bring it up. We got the championship belt right here, I guess. He doesn't have this belt, John. Come get this from me. I'll power slam you. I'm just kidding, John. Don't beat me up. But I could power slam him. I mean, we come up with a good skit. I mean, it's all entertainment. But those guys are beasts. Like, I respect them. They're some of the best athletes in the world. Yeah.

Just running around. It's not like it used to be, Chris. Like, when I grew up, these guys were drinking beer, like, before they came out. Like, they were big guys. And they'd bleed everywhere, real. Like, but half drunk, half in shape, dusty roads. Oh, man. Not anymore. These guys are beasts. You're not a wrestling guy. I know.

I think it's the soap opera combined with Like reality TV with live entertainment. We have so few channels to sort of escape reality. Like, and everything's so serious. And even though these, you know, like rivals can seem serious, in our world, they're not. You know, in the world of the fan, they're just fun. You know, because they don't... It's not threatening to them.

And whereas everything else... I mean, it's why live sports are up. Because... We don't want the spin of bullshit news like we've talked about a hundred times and everything's so serious and everything's so woke. So I can go to wrestling as an excuse male. I'm sure there's a ton of women. There's women wrestlers, too. But like I think for men, it's the escape for a little bit. Have some fun.
