This is the Busted Open Podcast.
Crazy you airing out my my dirty laundry like that, Mark. Damn, you're already telling everybody. Denise was out here talking shit.
You put the peace thing uh mattress outside. I didn't do that.
Damn, man. Damn. Somebody
beat the bed.
I'm gonna m I'm gonna make sure that next time I come on here to the stream, I do not share my opinions on the show before we get on to the actual stream. So that's why you ask me, what if I was planning on coming out here and being like, Oh, I love that whole story with Pat Max. I would hate that. I would
hate that. I would absolutely hate you doing that. Like we gotta be as real as possible because the people that tune in every morning and set their alarms to wake up just to hear us, which a guy came on the other day and said that, like, listen man, I don't have to be at I don't have to be at work until ten o'clock, but I set my alarm every morning. And I w listen to Pro Wrestling Nation twenty four seven. And I was just like, damn, you you wake up two hours early so you can start listening to the network, to the to the to the channel. Man, that's I I just found I just got a lot of respect for that. Uh that's that's dedication right there.

McAfee. Mark, what the hell is going on? Can I tell you? I'm just like, I I'm still trying to process this.
Everybody needs Somebody to believe in them and somebody to push you where you probably wouldn't have pushed yourself. Paul Heyman has made a living. Being the voice for people.
