D@mm Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Anyone watched the Jake The Snake interview on Joe Rogan's podcast, anything newsworthy ?
SaitoRyo Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Usually fascinating stuff from Jake. Stories about Savage, Andre, addiction, recovery, sex abuse etc. Worth a listen. It is, however, pretty disheartening to see how often he uses outdated epithets like 'faggot' and 'japs'.
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 21, 2018 Paid Members Posted November 21, 2018 It's always fascinating listening to a storyteller of Jake's ability; some of his stories are genuinely very funny and he's usually always captivating. Although, with Jake you're holding on, hoping he doesn't say anything too mental - like whipping out "I'm no faggot". With Jake, you sort of let it slide a little that he's clearly a bit of a creep because that childhood of his is unfathomable in it's desperate horror. I don't know how you make it out of his childhood without being warped.

I don't know how you make it out of his childhood without being warped. Agreed. It is what it is. I'm not expecting a man who has had his life and career to use PC terms. I saw a fairly recent shoot interview with The Amazing Red where he used those same terms I mentioned. That's a tad less excusable.
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 21, 2018 Paid Members Posted November 21, 2018 I don't find being homophobic excusable. I was more on about his overall stories that can sometimes be a little sinister.
returner82 Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 I would imagine with the Amazing Red it's part of where he was born and the culture he was brought up in. I listen to a lot of Joey Diaz and he says fag a lot, but he clarifies it's not a knock on someone's sexuality, it's about their behaviour or how they conduct themselves, which I can get. It is hurtful, though, it's a bit like the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry calls the closeted gay guy a cunt inoffensively and it's the explosive point that makes the guy come out.
Factotum Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Bill Burr did a good bit on the use of the word. In America it is way more common than the UK.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted November 30, 2018 Paid Members Posted November 30, 2018 This is interesting stuff from Show. It's interesting enough to hear his opinion anyway but he lights up at the mention of Becky Lynch. Bubba Dudley is on the phone and its great to hear two guys of their standing slobbering over THE MAN!
Mr Butternut Squash Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Good on Show for trashing the transition spot where guys post themselves in the corner. The one you see in Every Sodding Match. Hopefully see that a little less down the line.
Paid Members Linus Posted December 9, 2018 Paid Members Posted December 9, 2018 I don’t often post about my podcast here but special occasions are special occasions! Today, Chris & I recorded our 100th episode, and it’s a 3-hour marathon answering listeners’ questions about all kinds of things (including a big chunk on NXT-UK repercussions). We’re nice so we’ve split it into 3 handy parts and you can find them here! https://love-the-graps.pinecast.co/episode/17647bcf-c5b8-40b5-9d6b-9a01179e330f

Bring Back Minipops Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Anyone listened to this week's 83 weeks yet? holy sh it does Conrad get hot and call Bischoff out on his bullshit over the main event of Starrcade 97!
WyattSheepMask Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 I’m part way through it, but as with Something To Wrestle, I can only take Conrad in small doses. Think I’m still only in the Nitros in the lead-up to it at the moment
Guest Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Conrad came across more a cunt than normal over that. Sting showed up in shit shape, acting unenthusiastic and pale as a ghost after 18 months of being made to look like a destroyer. Not surprised they changed it from a squeaky clean finish, if any of us went to work about to being given a massive opportunity , I’d expect our bosses to reconsider their decision as well

Fucking hell, that's sopainful I actually feel sorry for him.
