39.232 - 43.559 Denise Salcedo

I like that it was slow and methodical. And usually I don't like slow and methodical.

Chapter 2: What happened during Sami Zayn's betrayal of Cody Rhodes?

43.599 - 49.347 Denise Salcedo

Slow and methodical pisses me off. I like fast pace and hard hitting. That's usually my style.

0

51.25 - 55.296 Mark Henry

I'm not going to say half the shit that I'm thinking. I'm not going to do it.

0

55.316 - 57.5 Denise Salcedo

I can't say nothing on this show.

0

57.52 - 59.483 Mark Henry

It's too early in the morning.

0

59.503 - 63.028 Denise Salcedo

You got to get your mind out of the gutter, Mark.

63.295 - 69.066 Mark Henry

Listen, that's you with the dirty mind. I didn't think nothing until you started laughing.

Chapter 3: Why did Mark Henry appreciate the slow pacing of the match?

69.827 - 71.471 Mark Henry

You started laughing and then I went.

0

72.513 - 81.309 Denise Salcedo

You're gaslighting me. Wow. Wow. I'm getting gaslighted five minutes into the show on a Saturday morning.

0

81.53 - 84.904 Unknown

Five minutes in. All right.

0

85.384 - 105.042 Denise Salcedo

Well, you know, like I said, slow and methodical this time around with Cody and Sami Zayn, you know, taking their time, telling a story. I like that. But so I like that portion of it. But the big thing that I wanted to get your thoughts on was when Gunther attacked Cody and he had him out there, you know, choking him and he's on the ground and all of that.

0

105.563 - 118.952 Denise Salcedo

Sami had the opportunity to do a nice thing. He could have gone in there. He could have helped Cody considering they just went through this match together. And he stood there. He thought about it for a while.

119.438 - 147.855 Denise Salcedo

and that man left he walked out and you know what i was doing mark i was applauding i was applauding and i said yes good finally because sammy has been uh the people have been booing sammy but if you listen to what he says and his promos they're still baby face promos they're still baby face actions last night Not a baby face action.

148.135 - 160.008 Denise Salcedo

So now I feel like, OK, we are no longer only dipping the toe into the pool. This man has his whole body in there. Now he just needs to stick his head in. But that man is a heel.

160.589 - 162.191 Mark Henry

I am about to argue with you.

162.951 - 164.133 Denise Salcedo

Oh, let's go, Mark.

Chapter 4: What were the implications of Gunther's attack on Cody Rhodes?

391.588 - 407.312 Denise Salcedo

I don't give a shit anymore. I'm done with everybody. I would love that. I'm done with these people. You guys are horrible. I tried to talk some sense into you guys, but you guys are so dumb. You guys don't have any, like, I want him to cut a full, I mean, a full you people promo, essentially.

0

407.292 - 428.232 Mark Henry

But you know what? Sammy can do it in a way that it still makes him look good and makes him look smart. And I feel like you're on to something. Like, that's the right thing to do, Denise. That is 100%. Your instinct is telling you correctly.

0

428.813 - 436 Denise Salcedo

Let's go. Very happy to hear that. Finally. Finally. You know, I was not starting to feel like the sharpest tool in the shed, you know?

0

436.115 - 443.965 Mark Henry

Oh, God, no. Come on, stop it. We know you may not be the sharpest, but you'll still cut them.

0

444.13 - 447.955 Denise Salcedo

Let's go. No, I just love self-deprecating humor. It's very hilarious to me.

Chapter 5: How did Sami Zayn's decision to abandon Cody affect the storyline?

449.738 - 453.523 Denise Salcedo

Well, everybody's got a different type of humor. Mark, as a comedian, you know this.

0

454.004 - 468.163 Mark Henry

Yeah. I mean, I like I like blue, but I can get down with, you know, the dad jokes. You know, like it's nothing misses me. If it's if it's humorous, I'm with it.

0

468.397 - 486.24 Denise Salcedo

Yeah. No, you know what I hate? When you accidentally put a dad joke and everybody just looks at you and goes, womp, womp, womp. And you're like, damn, man, what did I become? Yeah. No one ever applauds dad jokes, by the way. If you make a dad joke, you're frowned upon.

0

486.3 - 505.294 Mark Henry

Every now and then I'll be flipping through social media and they'll have these dad jokes and you got to put water in your mouth and forced not to laugh. And I find that to be so damn amusing. It's one of the funniest things on the internet.

0

506.055 - 508.7 Unknown

Amazing. Well, now we know what's on your timeline.

509.401 - 517.343 Mark Henry

Yeah, you got to be somewhere where If you spit something out, it's not going to work. You can't do that in the house.

517.865 - 518.165 Unknown

Yeah.

518.486 - 531.478 Mark Henry

You got to do that out on the patio. You got to do that at a park or something like that. The last thing you want to do is be in your own living room and having random strangers spitting every damn word.

531.644 - 559.609 Denise Salcedo

Oh, definitely not in my house. Not in my house. Not today. No way. Okay, so as we were saying, Gunther, Cody Rhodes, Clash in Italy. Hey, Mark, I forgot to tell you. Guess what? What? Chicken butt. Just kidding. No. I actually really do got something to say. I'm going to be at Clash in Italy.

Chapter 6: What are the potential outcomes for Sami Zayn's character development?

1097.187 - 1119.081 Denise Salcedo

And then he got sad again. So now what I'm seeing here is that he, I don't know, this storyline's a disaster. I can't even break it down for you because I can sit here and be like, oh, well, in that case, he's only happy when things are working out for him. But things don't work out for people that aren't like, you know, like he's like not putting in the work.

0

1119.422 - 1124.77 Mark Henry

When things work out for you and it don't work out all the time, that's not happiness.

0

1125.003 - 1153.66 Denise Salcedo

right exactly so anyways i just feel like the johnny gargano storyline's a mess it is i think it's a mess too i just wish that we could do something with it to make it entertaining what you said would have been kind of funny if this whole time he was just fooling everybody i mean i still i mean after like a while though it would get a little bit like okay well where are we going with this but we're not going anywhere i have so many ideas but

0

1154.635 - 1168.235 Mark Henry

it would overflow the timeline. Maybe. I think WWE would be like, shut up, Mark. Damn it. We were going to do that. Now we can't do it. You said something.

0

1169.036 - 1190.655 Denise Salcedo

You know what would be stupid funny? You know how Dan Housen is like bringing back, trying to bring back someone to life or whatever. He's doing like the Frankenstein thing. Okay, what if he accidentally messed up? He opens in Johnny Gargano's lane there. And he's been doing all these experiments. Okay. That's like stupid funny.

1190.695 - 1194.783 Mark Henry

That would be funny if he was doing experiments on Johnny.

1195.525 - 1201.577 Denise Salcedo

Yeah. Well, they're not going to do that. I don't know what they're doing. Let's take a break. Let's take a break. And when we return, we'll go ahead.

1201.597 - 1203.441 Mark Henry

Too many good ideas.

1203.623 - 1213.928 Denise Salcedo

Honestly, I mean, well, anything at this point is better than he just laying there for how long has this been going on for? It's been a while, man.
