The Battle for Reality
"As one of the Harry Potter actors said, a trans man is a man and a trans woman is a woman. And he didn't say this, but he might have, but they say men give birth, America was founded in 1619. Slavery built the country. And. America is systemically racist. It is a battle over reality. It's the only thing left and right agree on, we don't agree about reality. So all these New York Times readers blasting Bret Stephens for reporting on the report that I have reported to you the Cochrane report, all you're wrong, the Cochrane report doesn't say that masks don't work. So I've read it, and they've read it, and this is what they say. You ever see on the Internet somebody a blow a smoke through a, one of the masks that are people use. So a nurse writes in, of course, the regular masks don't work, the N95 masks work. If I have to wear an N95 masks, mask and there were a country. In other words, there was some national mandate to do so. And I could not. Escape being imprisoned if I did not wear an N95 mask. I would have to leave the country.

Here Comes Britcoin...
"Let's turn to our main topic Bret coin. The UK treasury and the Bank of England are expanding the discussion of a retail CBDC, inviting public comment on a consultation paper released on Tuesday. Ahead of the release, the treasury and the Bank of England released a joint statement saying that, quote, on the basis of our work to date, the Bank of England and HM treasury judge that it is likely a digital pound will be needed in the future. It's too early to commit to build the infrastructure for one, but we are convinced that further preparatory work is justified. The consultation is designed to inform the decision around whether or not to build the infrastructure for a digital pound. With a pilot test not anticipated before 2025. While many of the design features are up for debate, UK authorities are certain of one thing that they don't want the digital pound referred to exactly as I'm referring to it here as Bitcoin. Bank of England deputy governor John cunliffe set at a speech launching the consultation, quote, the digital pound can be confusing in people's minds with crypto assets, such as Bitcoin. I should take this opportunity to correct this misapprehension. Indeed, nothing could be further from the truth. Now, the paper goes into the many risks of launching a retail CBDC ranging from privacy risks to the risk of bank runs, crippling the financial system, should the CBDC outcompete commercial bank deposits. Overall, the consultation is one of the more complete and open attempts to publicly talk through the pros and cons of a retail CBDC we've seen from a government to date. One note from the proposal that has captured many headlines is a proposal that would cap citizen CBDC holdings somewhere in the 10,000 to 20,000 pound range to quote strike an appropriate balance between managing risks and supporting wide usability of the digital pound. This limit would allow a majority of UK wage earners to take their salary in the CBDC, but would still create competition with commercial banks. The digital pound would also offer no interest allowing banks to easily offer competitive terms on deposit accounts. Now one of the concerns articulated is that a CBDC could accidentally destabilize the commercial banking system. Currently banks use deposits as a cheap form of funding for loans. Without that flow of deposits, banks could increasingly find themselves reliant on more expensive wholesale markets, driving up borrowing costs for users.

Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, the Golden Jet, dies at 84
"He was known as the golden jet, a two time NHL MVP in three times scoring champion who helped the Chicago Blackhawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup. The team and the NHL alumni association have announced a death of Bobby holley. Hall played for Chicago for 15 seasons before signing hockey's first $1 million contract with Winnipeg in 1972. His son Bret hull said in a 2001 interview that his dad taught him that hockey was about more than money. It doesn't matter about salary or anything else. If you're not going to be happy where you are, then you're not going to be successful and the only thing that ever made him happy was winning. Hull was one of the most prolific forwards in NHL history, scoring 610 goals during his 16 year career. I'm Mike Hempen

What We Know and Don't Know About the Biden Docs Scandal
"Bret baier had my life and Harold Ford junior and myself on last night. We spent most of the panel talking about garage gate and my cut number 7 is my second hit on this. I want your reaction to this because I don't know what the origin story is, but I brought it up last night. Can we play senator cotton cut 7, please? Last word on this, I want to turn topics. We need to know the precipitating event, Brad. What is there a grand jury that's asking for these documents? Why did the Penn Biden center begin the search? Why were lawyers involved? Normally when you're moving documents, it's not the stuff that lawyers do because they're cost too much money. Did the grand jury put in a document request? There is a grand jury investigating Hunter Biden Hunter Biden's attorney admitted to that publicly. I'd like to know the events before November 4 and I hope the Republicans dig deep into the precipitating events for these searches and why lawyers for the president are present looking for the documents without security classifications, but Donald Trump's home had to be rated by the FBI. I also want to contrast that senator cotton with secretary Clinton also presidential candidate when her server was seized. It went to her lawyers and they deleted half the emails. And I see the stream is frozen. But tell me why do you think there are two different approaches? Is this just naked politics? Well, I think that's pretty obviously the reason is that Donald Trump has an R after his name. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden have these after their names. Again, it's hard to generalize about these things unless you know the actual content of these documents, the reason they were removed, it is apparently a very common fact that when presidents and vice presidents leave office that some of these documents can find their way inadvertently into boxes, it may have happened with Joe Biden that may have happened with Donald Trump, it happened with presidents before them, rarely are those something of great concern. It's not like for instance a government employee or contractor, spirit and documents out of the classified facility and sharing them with our adversaries or sharing them with the media. But we have to know the circumstances about these documents. To make a final judgment. I will say this about Hillary Clinton, what she did is much worse than what either, in my opinion, and what Joe Biden, Donald Trump has been alleged to do. She was using a server to conduct active business.

Bret Stephens Says the GOP Is Now the Party of Dinesh D'Souza
"I'd like to offer a few comments on very interesting article called the conversation in The New York Times. This is a conversation between The New York Times as two token conservatives. I say token conservatives because they're conservatives who normally ratify the premises of The New York Times. So they're conservatives who frequently take positions against certain against Trump, but also against the contemporary Republican Party. This is Brett Stevens, whom actually I don't know, but Stevens was kind of largely a nobody when I was at AEI. And in Hoover, David Brooks, whom I do know, and the basic theme of this article, well, it's called the party's over for us. Where do we go now? And these two dudes are talking to each other and reproducing their conversation. Basically, their whole point is that the GOP is no longer the party of Bret Stephens and David Brooks. It's now sort of the party of dinesh d'souza. Now, not surprisingly, I consider this to be a very good thing. But I want to analyze some of their complaints about the contemporary Republican Party. So David Brooks begins the conversation by saying that many, many years ago. In fact, going back to the 1980s, he had brunch with me and he discovered an important difference between him and me. He was a conservative, whereas I was, quote, anti left. Now, for most people, this is a little bit of a what's the distinction if your anti left doesn't that make you a conservative. But I think what David Brooks is getting at is he was a conservative in the positive sense. He wanted to do only positive things. But he has dinesh and he wants to like pull down the left. He wants to defeat the lefty wants to undermine the socialists, whereas I, David Brooks, you know, I have a sort of a more thoughtful, more elevated conservatism.

Should Trump Accept a Civil Deal to Go Away?
"Last subject. Last week I wrote a column for The Washington Post called the agnew option. I have never had 580,000 views of one column. And so that's one and it's about saying, you know, maybe Donald Trump would take a civil deal like agnew took a nolo and go away to get rid of the New York attorney general of Manhattan district attorney to Fulton county district attorney and Jack Smith, the special prosecutor. They all bundled it up and they had a civil settlement and everything went away. Maybe he would agree to withdraw from 2024. And I mean, 580,000 page views is astonishing. The comments all hated the idea, but the callers all hated the idea for different reasons. What if do you think that's even remotely possible Bret baier? I think it's going to be tough to get all of the legal side to agree to all of that. I do think that there's something attractive to even Trump supporters who've lost some of the luster who believe that in the policies, but don't think that the standard bearer meets the moment. And I think that more and more as I go around the country, that's what I hear. From even the staunchest Trump supporters. So I think for your 580,000 views is more about finding a solution because Republicans are worried that it goes down to electoral cul de sac with Donald Trump as the candidate.

Trey Gowdy: 'Twitter Files' Revelations Are Not a Surprise
"Look at Trey gowdy. He appeared with Bret baier last night on Fox News. And Trey gowdy, former congressman, great congressman, former prosecutor, great prosecutor. Now he's a Fox News channel guy. To him, a conservative, this revelation, this Twitter files reveal isn't really that big a deal. I hate to be an outlier, but a group of Democrats showing preference for a Democrat and suppressing Republicans. It's just not breaking news to me. I mean, The New York Times and political have been doing it for decades. So I mean, shame on us for becoming so reliant on social media if there is entanglement between government or law enforcement or intelligence community and Twitter. That's a different story. But Brett The New York Times is not endorsed a Republican since Dwight Eisenhower. Who is surprised that a group of Democrats is going to suppress positive choice about Republicans and amplify negative stories about Republicans. It's just not surprising to me. He's a smart guy, and I understand his point. He's saying we shouldn't be shocked that a social media giant like Twitter leans left. Or has been leaning left.

Passing the Backpack Bill in Ohio
"Now, the two one big are you. You're the comfortable shoes governor and Ron DeSantis is the iron toed boot governor, right? He's out there. And so you two said that way, but that's about right, right? You're the comfortable shoes governor, and he's got the steel steel toed boots that you wear on the work side, 'cause they're better. I think actually at the more genteel place Ohio than Florida politics. I think there's a style. It's probably a style difference between the two of us, but, you know, we are out there fighting every single day for jobs coming into a while. I mean, we're very aggressive about jobs we've kept taxes down and kept regulations reasonable. We've created an environmental Ohio that's conducive for jobs to grow. And so, you know, I think that while my style may be a little different, you know, I think people like that. Oh, they do, I mean, I like it. Governor, tell me what the backpack Bill is going to be like under your stewardship. It will go to the Supreme Court, which is a big win for ohioans, including your son reelected. But we now have four reliable conservative justices on the Ohio Supreme Court, so if you pass a backpack Bill, it will, it will be upheld. Ohio, Ohio is a school choice state. And we continue to move further and further towards that. And you're going to see continuous movement, I think in this legislature, legislation, whether backpack Bill per se passes, I don't know, but what we believe in is parents, right? And we believe in giving, you know, parents choices, particularly where they're in failing schools or in schools or it's very difficult for the kids to get the right education. We want to put four kids on the same par with rich kids

The Fetterman Inflection
"Inflection, the fetterman inflection, the fat Herman inflection. I would use a hashtag with that. I have been using a hashtag with that. Because it occurred to me as I prepared for special report last night, over with Bret baier and I'm always honored to work with Brett, but especially when Britt Hume and marala center there. That's like the two giants of the special report panel are Brit human moralizing. And when the Giants come out, I like to be there like to listen to them or I had a nice chat was not in the green room Brett was down in Georgia. And it just settled into me that the despair among Democrats is deep why? Why? One senator collapsing in Pennsylvania. And John fetterman's campaign has collapsed. It's over. Bounced the rubble. It's not, and you look at the numbers this morning and it crossed the map. I mean, from east to west and north to south from Wisconsin, to Georgia. Nothing is working for the Democrats. Everything is going downhill. And I'm going to talk with Don bulldog this morning. And New Hampshire, and I covered New Hampshire standby in New Hampshire. I'm talking about Adam laxalt from Nevada at the bottom of this hour. Early morning in Nevada means people are going home from the shift, working in the entertainment business, paying their $7 gallon gas because of Joe Biden. And the federman inflection is the moment when after that debate, people say not only. Boy, he, incoherent, and a progressive is trying to get out his lines. He'd been coached to say I'm for fracking, and everyone knows he's not. He'd been coached to say, I'm hard on crime, and everyone knows he's not. He's been coached to say everybody understands why he chased a black kid with a gun and put a gun in his chest and everyone doesn't understand. And he can't say what he's been coached to say, but you know what the Democrats knew or the key messages by what they focused on trying to coach John fetterman to say and he couldn't. And the inflection comes when the whole country. And by the way, they had a huge audience. It's the only thing that people talked about yesterday is how awful that was. The panic that spread among Democrats, every like the 5 stages of Greek,

Biden Chose the Unions Over Our Kids
"Iran, Bret baier was telling me a couple of weeks ago on his show that it seemed to him that the Democrats have made a big bet. Their big bet is on semi fascist and fascism in the red setting speech, and that they're just going to stick with this despite the overwhelming rejection of it. I don't think they are sticking with underlining the student loan bailout because the president has had three opportunities to talk about that. He did not talk about it in the red setting speech. He just didn't even a week earlier, this was the greatest thing since sliced bread. They got a week of blowback from ordinary Americans saying, are you out of your mind? And then they've dropped it, but it's too late. It's a $1 trillion and it's inflationary. It's too late and what we've seen you since then is Herschel Walker took a lead in a poll in Georgia. We've seen lax salt within one O day in Colorado within one. We're seeing movement after that decision that the Democrats may pay off a $1 trillion student loan debt for people who willingly took that debt on, right? But our kids and I'm one of them who were kept out of the classroom who had no choice who couldn't get the education they deserved. They're behind in math. They're behind on their SAT and ACT scores. And it's going to impact them for their lives and Democrats said, we're going to pay off these loans because maybe this will lead to vote instead of helping these kids who are policies have left behind and made them collateral damage because of our loyalty to the public unions. And the teacher unions. Not the teachers, the teachers are working hard. It's the unions that the Democrats are beholden to. And the unions definitely show they don't care about our kids. I

So he's missed a whole section of people like, so if the way he described his life and where he lives and how he lives, is exactly he could have been talking about me and my Friends. And we all sat around before that 2016 election said the same thing. Let's kick the table over. We're sick of both of the parties. We want somebody to go in and blow it up. And I agree with everything he said about the Trump, the typical Trump supporter that he was talking about the blue collar guy. You're talking about what Brett bear said, not what Brett Stevens wrote. Bret Stephens is a lot more. I'm talking about both. So Bret Stephens was right about all the middle class voters that are forgotten and left on left aside. Now here's where I take real issue with this guy. He's coming from. He's talking about the moral position of Trump and how he's come to this high horse and his morals and comparing to Trump's morals. And I know he's a Democrat. He's a democratic order. Let's just look at the Democrats. So who are the biggest races? He's calling Trump a racist. The biggest racists are the Democrats. All they see is race through everything they do. It's all about right now. I got to catch up, but I do want to correct the record. Brett is actually a Republican long-standing and a conservative long-standing, but you're right about race mattering a great deal more to Democrats than it does to Republicans. Thank you, friend.

Would have been better to buy a house 6 months ago, that much better to buy it a year ago. But you didn't, so you can either ring your hands or act. If you're going to act, call them up.

"Be hearing from my husband Bret Johnson. To give you a little bit of the backstory, my husband Brett is exceptional at money management at investing at staying on top of our finances and this really, which is such a crazy turn of events because as you know, if you've listened to many of the episodes here, there was a time when we were a half a $1 million in debt and that was in great part due to mistakes both of us made, but, you know, in large part, if we're going to be real, it had a lot to do with this gambling. And you know, we had to repair trust between us. We had to repair our marriage. We had to repair a relationship like there were years and years and years of lies and mismanagement of money. And so we went through so many years of therapy and me just constantly double checking and triple checking and looking over his shoulder and questioning everything he was doing, and part of our healing process was that he allowed me to do that. He never said like, what, don't you trust me? He knew that it was going to take years. For him to rebuild that trust and not just to rebuild the trust but to rebuild the faith that I once had in him as a provider, he took that role very seriously. It's one of the reasons why we've been able to weather that storm and are so much closer and happier and more connected today than we've ever been in our past. So first I want you to know, it is possible that both people have to be willing to heal, willing to take responsibility and the way Bret handled it really made such a huge difference. And part of that was him really being committed to helping take the burden off my shoulders. Like I felt responsible to pay all those people back and he wanted me to know that he was going to do everything in his power. Like, you know, he's like, I can't sell a workout video. I can't be the face of the academy or whatever, but I can commit to understanding how to get us out of this by allowing our money to make us money. So what you're going to hear from him today is the advice that I asked him to share with some of my girlfriends. Like, I have a circle of girlfriends who are like, okay, chalene. You keep talking about extra streams of income. We have other businesses, but we need to know more about investing. Do you think Brett would do like a Zoom call and kind of just give us all the basics, the four one one on getting started investing? Because we want our money to make us money. And so Brett was like, yeah, I can do that, and I'm like, well, you know what? Why don't we just do this for all of my Friends, including the listeners of the chalene show, because I know there's many of you out there who you're in a position right now where you need an additional stream of income, if nothing else, you need to understand that your money has the ability to make you more money. So without further ado, I get to turn it over to my boo. Brett Johnson. Well, this is a chalene show takeover. And I'm Brett Johnson, her husband, and I'm going to talk to you today about how to get started investing money. Yes, we're talking about money. And I know it's a scary subject, and I know it's a foreign language to a lot of you. So guess what I did? I kind of ran my notes by chalene and she kind of started asking a bunch of questions. So that I would know what frame of mind most of the listeners are going to be in. So I think that's going to help a lot. It helped me prepare for the show a lot. So I hope it turns out well. And of course, you're always able to come over to Instagram at Brett Johnson 11 and hit me in the DMs and ask me any questions that you have after this episode. Okay, so let's get started. So I know that investing money for your future is something that can be really scary because there's lots of terms and you just see so many stories and about people squandering their money and not knowing how to invest, but today I'm going to teach you how to invest in your future very easily. It's going to be so painless you're going to be like, why haven't I started this ten years ago? Or whenever. But here's the thing. We just need to start now. That's the key with investing. It's not like you just don't keep putting it off. Once you have a strategy, you go for it, okay? So here we go. We're going to get into this right away. So I want to talk to you a little bit about some of the terms that you hear in the financial industry and maybe you're watching news or you're watching whatever you're listening on the radio and you start hearing these terms and you're like, I don't even know what that means. It's scary. It just doesn't make any sense to me. So here's some basic terms that we're just going to talk about during this episode. So the Dow. What is the Dao mean? The Dow is stands for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It's been around since like 1896. What it is, it's an index that tracks like the top 30, like the 30 largest publicly owned companies, right?.

"You're not used to hearing curse words in a wrestling ring from a wrestler with the esteem credibility and respect that Bret Hart had. It has. So yeah, I thought it was so the language had been tempered. Yeah, of course. Of course, but when you're doing something spontaneously, without a script, you didn't memorize your lines. It was from your heart. This is how you felt. That's what I think connected the audience to the sold out thing is that in all the bitching and moaning that Brett was doing as a character, people believe what he was telling them was truthful in British point of view. So I thought it was again censoring some of the language I would agree with. But how it was delivered and the resonated, I have no doubt it was a thing to do. So we know what happens at the Rosemont horizon, Brett and Steve put on a clinic together, something that I think will live up forever. You know, I mean, this is the gold standard for a submission match, and of course, what's fun is, you know, stone cold had really been using the stoner. He was not really doing a lot of $1 million dream stuff like he debuted when he debuted with the WWF, but Brett has the sharpshooter. We're going to have some blood. We've got a special guest referee and Ken Shamrock. It's a big double turn. It's a masterpiece as 5 stars. Jim, I don't think we can put into words how great this match is. If you've never seen it, I think you should climb out from under The Rock, you're living under and go watch today. Yeah, I agree. It was the Bret Hart, Steve Austin match at WrestleMania 13. Was as good a wrestling match as I think I ever called. Not my work. Just to be there at the right place at the right time and see these two masters at work execute something that's very challenging to do. You know, a lot of young talents weren't even aware of the term double turn. They had never seen one. Especially saint one is executed as well as this one was. But again, you go back to who created the Austin executed. Yeah. But brick created. And because often trust in Brit, he felt like this match was going the right way creatively. And board the day deliver. It was 5 stars in today's marketplace. Using melcher star system, that might have been one of those Kenny Omega numbers. Yeah. For sure. I mean, I think this is the only 5 star match that he ever gave or Austin. Maybe the first one, the WWF ever had at this point. Just go out of your way to watch it. It's a freaking masterpiece. We can't say enough nice things about it, but I do want to mention that same show we saw WrestleMania 13 come out to do commentary. For the big main event, and he comes out with a big entrance, and then he even opens his jacket where Vince can't see him at the commentary table and flashes the click sign, which as it's been used on TV in that era, that was the NWO hand gesture. And of course, Brett is going to come out and call Shawn Michaels a pussy in a faker and we know that we're ultimately going to get things back on track. But did you know at this point, okay, Sean's going to be coming back and maybe we'll do something with these guys at SummerSlam or what was the working idea at WrestleMania for Bret and Sean in the future as best you know. It was just a day to today process and they put their ill feelings aside long enough to go have a classic you hope that was going to happen and because we all knew Conrad that if Brett and Sean are in the same space, mindset wise that their match would be extraordinary. And the stories that the announcers could tell based on what had already aired as far as the promos and the build up and all that stuff, just makes it a great backstory. It's really terrific and my view. But we didn't know. I'd like to tell you, oh yeah, we thought that by July shit, there's a day to today deal here, man. You just hope you keep those guys are separated so that they didn't tear each other limb from limb. And in catering, so to speak. Well, let's keep the train on the track because we know the next line on raw, breath's going to cut an epic heal promo that really meant the turn. He's focusing on Shawn as the face of the upcoming program, Sean's going to come out and defend the fans, and he's going to say that the Mark man takes his accomplishments way too seriously, and Sean challenges brought to a love it or leave it. And Brad, of course, attacks. And here we go. This sort of reset on the Monday after WrestleMania, which is historically the biggest Monday Night Raw of the year. This breathes new life and a Bret harte their performer in my opinion. He's been this baby face for so long and now that he gets to have a as Bruce likes to say a fresh paint of coat. This is a whole new ball game for brea. I really enjoy as a heel here in 97, more than any other time in my career. Like I said earlier, it is sharpened his edge is sharpened his sword. He gave him another.

"Your love in this. And you no one ever count out the undertaker in any environment, and then bring in the monster heel, and what it also does Conrad is it gives you the potential to have some great TV matches or house show matches, whatever. With those four guys. It creates marriages. It creates issues. So who's going to bitch to come out with a program with undertaker and invader? Who's going to bitch if you get the stone cold invader? So and then you get that Bret Hart element. Bret Hart had the most emotional following. That made all that really accelerate. In my opinion. So because he had he was telling us an emotional story that was based in fact and so I think that added so much to the you talk about that final four thing. I don't even remember who else was in the car. I remember that match. And it's also where we saw China debut for what it's worth. She ragged all marlena at ringside from the other side of the barricade. Pretty fun little moment. Yeah, I remember that. I didn't remember that. Yeah. That was she got shake rattle and rolled. For a Terry. She looked so small to China's arms. That was good booking. But nonetheless, it was one match show essentially. And I thought what it did was, but it was the attraction. That sold that sold all the fruit. No matter how the last game went, any time you take the field, you've got a shot at greatness. Give your team the best shot at winning by recruiting more MVPs.

"I just think it was a way to sharpen the blade a little bit for Brett. And he was just the change healthy, I think. I made him a bigger star in Canada and around the world. And that was a big marketplace for WWE in those years. Still is I'm assuming. When they can travel, all the COVID issues, but I think it was something he needed and he kind of liked it. He liked the respect that he when he went to Canada in that era, it was like the good lord stepped in The Rain. They loved him. He was the most popular guy. They've been responsible for athlete in that era in the whole country. So I think it was timely. And it gave him another cause. And some of the things here's the thing about a great promo con is that he was telling the truth on a lot of things. Absolutely. And so that's the thing about our business is dang, man. When you tell an audience of truth, sometimes they can't handle the truth. And they react accordingly. So I thought it was a good move, creatively, and it just kept that picture at the top of the chart, still a little cloudy. Are we going to cheer for? I think it became more interesting story. Because it was seated in realism. And when you got a quote unquote heal, that is telling you that you're telling the truth and you don't want to hear it. Those are sometimes you're very, very best promos. So let's talk about the revelation, at least in public, that Vince is the owner. That's never really been acknowledged on WWE programming up to this point. As a reminder, he still sitting at the desk alongside yourself. Do you remember there being significant conversation about whether or not that should be revealed was Vince hesitant or did he just think, hey, this will be this is great shit pal. And that was all there was. I think it was this decision. He blessed it, I'm sure red had a hand in the idea of how to handle it, and I don't know if he gave Vince the idea, but he certainly endorsed the idea. Because if it to a T his is, what Bret was shooting for, but I think it was, we were not, and the announcers were not informed of what was happening in that respect. In other words, I think had enough trust. And I. Or is that Lawler in me? I don't know, whatever. I think Lawler it may actually, but I've never been a wordsmith. But I think that I think that it fit. It made sense at that time. It added another wrinkle to the recipe. So I all I know is that when they were talking about that and we're on TV and here we go, I wasn't prepared. I had no material prepared. How are you going to respond? Are you going to act? That's the worst question to ask me. How are you going to act? Hell, I don't know. I'll act accordingly. But I didn't have a clue as to what they were going to do. But it worked. And that's all that matters. So at this point, I guess I want to know, at least in your mind's eye are showing and bred on the same page. Is it evident to you that there's trouble between the two or did you just assume now business as usual, just handling business? Well, I think they were trying to get to a meeting place. So they could finish their business. But I don't want to ever say that they were best buddies. I know they reconciled as Tony sabria would say, they reconcile later on, which was helpful. And good. But at that point in time, they weren't the best buddies. They weren't going to ride together. You didn't see them set at the same table at catering. Just didn't happen. Right. So that's where we were with that deal, man. Just, they had to respectful, they kept a respectful distance from each other. So that their emotions and all these latent issues didn't rear their head again. So, but I don't think they were ever best buddies until they finally made up. So let's keep everyone in the loop here. Of course, because of the way things ended at the Royal Rumble, they're going to decide to do the February in your house show from Chattanooga as what they're going to call the final four. Putting back into the ring, the final four competitors for the Royal Rumble, just to extend that storyline and decide who will really be the number one contender who will get a title shot at WrestleMania, and the final four were Bret harte, Stone Cold Steve Austin, big van Vader, and the undertaker, and I kind of like that. Pretty good corte, Connie. Yeah, great group of folks. It's top guys, and really the WWF has always had and I still think they do a lot of times and more even in more modern years. There's almost like a lame duck pay per view. They used to call it Fastlane a few years ago, but between Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. That one in between often feels like a throw away, so not having a definitive Royal Rumble winner, and you're going to have that hot issue settled at a pay per view next month. And then we're ready for WrestleMania. That actually works for me. I think this might be my favorite February pay per view that the WWF put on. It was good booking. And it was timely. And it was logical. The final four, the four guys are left in the Royal Rumble. Again, reprieve, they get a second chance to make it there. So if you're Brett hart, van, that's good news. Your stone cold fan..

"Hey, welcome to this edition of the chalene show. Today, we are talking about sex. And Bret and I are talking about our sex life. And I know that sounds kind of strange, but based on your questions, coming from Instagram, it's what people wanted to know about and I mean, I don't know why that's interesting, but apparently it's fascinating because I literally received hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of questions about this subject. And honestly, I don't think it's like there's this fascination with Brett and I what I think is going on here is that a lot of people struggle with this part of their relationship. And they think it could be better or they wonder is this normal or is this just a phase where things different or are things going to be improved when our kids are out of the house or when our kids are grown or after fill in the blank? I mean, obviously, we're not sex experts. Clearly what works for us might not work for somebody else. But I do think it is important to share some of the practices some of the habits that we have because we do have a really, really great relationship and a big piece of that is not only our sexual intimacy, but also our emotional intimacy. So even though we don't talk a lot about the emotional intimacy that we have between the two of us, after recording this with Brett, I realized that should probably come first. So if you haven't listened to that episode, we've done a few on emotional intimacy. And I think that's something to revisit if you just don't feel connected to your partner. Because if you don't feel connected to them, then sex is just going to be a struggle. It's going to be an issue. Also, obviously, this is an adult episode, so if you've got little ones, this is not one to listen to with the kids. It's definitely one I don't want my kids to listen to because I don't know, hashtag that's weird. I definitely don't want my parents to listen, mom and dad. I mean, they don't listen to my podcast that often anyways, but I really don't want you to listen to this one. I'm just, I would be blushing to think that my parents are listening to it. I know this is all very natural and normal and healthy, but it's still a little bit weird to talk about these things with your parents or your own kids. I mean, it's not weird to talk about sex with my kids, but it's weird to talk about sex between Bret and I, with our kids, like, no. Not going to happen..

"That have ended the relationships for that evening. Oh my God, they're so funny. Okay, so none of that's going to happen right now because we are cuddled up in our bed and it's a full size veteran of queen size bed. It's a queen sized bed. So we should start with that. So, all right, so we are on the food we're talking about. We're just going to talk. We are on the final, I guess you would say, hiatus, final leg of our New York experience, Bret and I decided that we would spend 30 days or not 30 days, like basically four weeks. In New York City and people ask like, why? Well, because we are empty nesters. And we lived very, I don't want to say like stationary lives wouldn't you say? We had travel much. No, not with only, you know, when we could, like, spring break and Christmas break and stuff like that and we were when our kids were little. And they did have sports. Yeah, and now we are footloose and fancy free, and we are not going to collect any moss. We're going to live for extended periods of times in different cities and bring our laptops with us and stay in contact with our team and our kids and our family and friends and experience the world like life is too short to stay in one place and we have designed our whole lives to do this. So we're pretty stoked about it. And I thought I would invite Bret into the conversation and tell you a little bit because lots of people have been asking about our experience here in New York City and what we thought and what we've done, et cetera. So I thought, let's start with the apartment that we rented. Okay. Well, first of all, we're in a queen size bed. And not to sound like sleep snobs, but like when I looked at I was like, what? We've been in a king sized bed since we got married. We were in king sized bed we were in college. We didn't sleep together in college. Whatever. Anyways, but you know what I'm saying? There's been a few nights where I just you're really close to me. You move around right now? No. You move around at night. You're really, you will push me out of the bed. Not true. Every time I wake up, I'm in the same exact spot. You are the one that moves around all the time. A 100%. 100%. I don't know how I want to put a camera. We should. We would write me an apology. No, that's not accurate. I move around, but it's usually because listen, ladies and gentlemen, this technique, I don't even know what it's called. It's called a tug and roll. It's called a tug and roll. So she tugs the pillows and then rolls. So those are the blankets. So every time she does that, she gets about 5 or 6 more inches of the covers. So by two hours into the night, I have no covers. These are lies. Anyways, here's what does happen. And tell me if you guys agree. If I am turned towards the middle of the bed, then that means you can't be turned towards the middle of that. Yes, you do. Here's what I don't want you breathing in my face. Like I got here first, so don't breathe in my face. But I'm never going to turn the other way. I'm never going to be there that long because I don't sleep on my right shoulder. I sleep on my left shoulder. But when you are, I'm like, I was here. I'm gonna be there for just a second. I'm just letting my left shoulder have a little break. It's like just a half of a wrap. So that was the first thing is our bed is a little small and we and right now you're treating it like a twin. Just please focus. Okay. Don't act like you have ADHD. We brought our own sheets and stuff because I don't know, to me. That's what you do when you're gonna live someplace for a month. I think so, even if I'm gonna go for a weekend, when it comes to sheets, a hotel's different because I know that they're constantly replacing those sheets. For some reason, I feel like it's different, but at someone else's at an air-b-n-b, like it just feels I don't know. It feels weird. It's like, what's happening on these sheets? I'm not going for that. So I was always bringing our own sheets. We got to the apartment and it's how many square feet is this? I think it's 22. Now, I think it is. I think it's 2000. I think it is..

"To turn the corner, he didn't. And that little boy passed away, and that little boy was my nephew, but the reason that I've decided to come back and people can think all they want to and they can they can guess that I've come back that I've planned this out a long time ago, but the fact of the matter is from that very day I promised myself that I would come back. And I would give wrestling fans and little kids all around the world. Somebody that they can look up to somebody that doesn't necessarily. Hey, I can't dance. And I don't post too well for girly books. But I am the best there is the best it was in the best day ever will be. And I'm back. Thank you very much. Yes. I got calm. Pass it on. So what'd you think? Great baby face promo. And you don't want to hear too many law ones like that in the middle of the show. Right. But this was setting a guerrilla to make her shut her down. I thought it was great. At this point, he probably could have did whatever the hell he wanted, right? Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah. So we're getting our main event now with sea hunter coming to the ring. This is going to be a big segment. But, you know, this return, if you will, for Bret harte. Has been discussed a lot over the years. What did you think of that segment? Would that segment stand up today in 2021? I think it would. I think it would. I think the more honest you can be with your audience and the better off you are, so that's my take on that deal. Reality based. That was very reality based because I could promise you there no rider was harmed in the filming of that segment. In other words, its breadth words, his feelings and so forth. So I thought I think it would have today. You'd have some heel fans, you know, that would be catcalling and things of that nature. We want to mention Meltzer's right up here. He says heart gave probably the best interview of his career and one of the best interviews you'll ever see. Basically acknowledging the very item items he was going back and forthwith in his own head over the past several months. Hart talked about the death of his nephew, Matthew annis, over the summer, and now he had promised him he would return to wrestling. The story, hart spoke of was true, as he told annis, if he'd get better, he promised to return to wrestling, actually, at the time he said it SummerSlam, and that for a brief moment and as responded. Hart, both prey, Shawn Michaels is a great wrestler. Didn't complain about the finish of the WrestleMania match, simply saying he had lost and didn't take losing well. And said he was tougher than Michaels. And smarter than Michaels, and made remarks about not being able to dance, maybe not being as cute and not posing in girly magazines. Now, of course, that girly magazine talk is going to ultimately become a talking point between their real life relationship, Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. As the legend goes, by the way, the original creative that Vince had in mind harte had been asked over the weekend by WWF to in a dramatic fashion, rip up the WCW contract on the live interview as a retaliation for things such as Medusa throwing the women's Bill in the garbage can. But refused to do so. So, yeah, Vince maybe was, what did they say? Gotten to. He wanted him to rip up the WCW offer, but it didn't happen. And it didn't matter. I mean, would that have made the interview better? No. No, I don't think so. In a moment like that, you really need to rely on the instincts of your talent. As our beloved guerrilla monsoon steps in the ring, there's a whole JR's back in there. We got a big announcement here..

"And just just at fortify was way too good for this group and One off by widening links that set up yesterday with the two great ones and these are these are always pretty seemingly always productive When it comes to town and the summer and albar al-bahar three to five in the summer and kind of languished Early that actually was somewhat of a theme a little bit for the For the some of the the godolphin success this weekend because The philly did to the frankel philly while beauty. She was last early and charge home so last year. I had actually at belmont as well jamie spencer with that bar in the in the jockey club derby same thing same thing just Storm by one performance. And and we'll we should re. I should get christoph because in addition to the to stake wins. You know dragon t who. It's too bad that wasn't a bigger field And that you couldn't have gotten some better some veteran rod because i thought dragon t look look like a like a beach ball But and dairy name the horse who ran a sneaky good race and the maybe maybe she. Maybe wasn't that sneaky but watch that the town of back again pizza bianca. She gets beat by two and change here but her momentum was absolutely stopped and rosario had to kind of wait for a seem. And i i. I'd like to see the like the see these to match up again Maybe at At del mar because pizza bianca then once she got the she also got squeezed one once the the opening kinda came rosario started to go the kind of squeezed off honor and and then you know she made it through and once she did is she. She regained the momentum but she lost a lot of momentum there Top of the stretch. So i thought that Pizza bianca and i didn't really yesterday was strictly strictly. I was watching them as we as tina drove us. Home but I caught up on those races after the game But i i thought that was a a very good effort in defeat. Let's put it that way and There's plenty to like about pizza bianco. There's some of the top lines got a couple of minutes here before bret calhoun joins us. Brett set the sale.

"Yeah we are never in the book we try to be very clear to never justify bad behavior or really any behavior this is not justification right that we do not fall prey to the naturalistic fallacy. In that way what we're trying to do is explain so that we can be better going forward all of us right on so just as bret said if the evolution of sex happened something between one and two billion with a b. years ago and conservatively within our lineage that's been an uninterrupted lineage of or history of sexual reproduction with two and only two sexes for at least five hundred million years and probably much longer than that so You know so. We have sex evolving. And then we have. You know not too long after that. The behavioral manifestations of sex evolving as well and in non human animals we call that sex role in humans we call that gender and gender is tightly following tightly aligned with sacs not exactly you know not perfectly and the more the more variable you are. You're the more like like humans you are in terms of being social and long lived generational overlap and lung childhoods all of these things. More behaviorally label you are the more likely gender sex roles are to not exactly match onto what sex you are. And that's both fine and is in no way it rebuttal to the fundamental reality of binary sex so people with stronger cultural emphasis on these things may say well. You're excusing bad. Male behavior or the stronger argument likes late. Argument is that therefore we can't do anything about it you know boys will be boys. Men will be men. So how do you respond to that kind of deter deterministic. If it's biology. I can't change it well again. I think one of the things that we hope people will come away from. The book with is an understanding that culture is no less biological than genes. As i said before but that the degree to which culture can be changed is much greater in other words..

"Gimmicks dot com the officials. Something to wrestle store where you can find gimmicks for yourself or the fan in your life you items added weekly. I'm with you on there. There could be two potential things but it feels like and i could be wrong. I don't know feels like at times by someone we've heard he sort of has his vision for what he thinks. The top of the car needs to look like and sometimes and this. Is you know before you were back. They were fans online. Turpin about all roman reigns. this roman reigns that and of course these days we know roman reigns over like nobody's business but we don't talk about current stuff. I'm just trying to bring up a point that i feel like this is one of the few times. Maybe the first time since you've been there where you could wonder man. He always has it together. He always has the answer. But he's not confident in this answer. Yes there are two possible answers but normally he's pretty decidedly. We're this is what we're doing. Maybe not some of the undercard stuff but for the top the direction of the company. This is the first time it sort of feels like a ship without a sail and by the way. That's not necessarily his fault. Let's not forget in the background. He's on trial for his whole fucking life. There's a lot of shit going on. Yeah then again. It wasn't oh we don't know what we're doing. We knew what we were doing. Which is do we had two options and it was. That's a good problem to have when you when you have two options and you have two ways to go again. I'm just saying tad context. We've talked about this before. With regard to shawn michaels where he would say. God it stop telling me he's a baby face. That little son of a bitch will never be a baby face and then fast forward. A few months. I've been telling you guys. He's a baby. Say he flip flopped but he was solid in his convictions. Either way right. It's not like he's wishy washy like well could be. This could be that whether it's right or wrong. It feels like he always had no. This is our guy. What's fucking wrong with you. You know and he saw his conviction could go either way I think hindsight being twenty twenty. If i were betty man i would think that brett will i mean. The vince solid in his conviction that it was going to be brett but he didn't want to that anybody know in the talk of it being luger and people going it could be either or it was a pickle to me if he if he thought it was lugar. He would've decided by summer slam. Just beat yoko at summer slam but when he did go that way it feels like you know if he was really sold on him he would have did it but he didn't so it's going to be breath. Let's keep it going Let's also talk about some meltzer speculation. owen the the owen storyline was modeled. After the bruno martino larry's nabisco storyline think. There's any comparison there all thank stupid comparison. Okay do you want to explain. Why wasn't this was based in family. This was based in family jealousy. This wasn't based on you trained to me brett now. I'm gonna turn my back on you. This was from day. One is a child looking up to your older brother. You don't have to get hot bam. I don't get hot about it because yeah i made a comparison. He didn't make an accusation. You're you're hot at a comparison. I hate him faulk this. This is exhausting breath. I'm tired of this show. I mean it feels like you're just irritable and fuss. And i mean i heard what you did before all your animal and fussing about everything fuss about nothing great. Bret hart ends ninety three. On new year's even williamsport pennsylvania in front of a packed house of two thousand. Five hundred people is going to defeat. Irs in the main event is probably the most nineteen ninety thing pau nineteen ninety-three thing possible This is a weird year for brat. He's the guy he's not the guy he's kinda guy. Is this the year that maybe solidified brett events that if nothing else he's mr reliable and they have nothing else. He's mr steady and reliable. Yeah always they're always going to deliver and do what you want. He's always going to be be that guy. The guy that always delivers gives you what you expect. I wanna i wanna ask here too. Is this also. Perhaps and i'm just freestone. Is this also. Perhaps when he realizes he is steady he is reliable but he's not exactly the superstar that were we hoped for. I think vince kinda still look at. It is. we'll get there really. Do think that. Vince wanted it for brett and figured we will get there. Maybe it's just gonna take a little bit longer than we anticipated. Hindsight being twenty twenty and again. I realize timing is everything but do you think his whole the hart family. The canadian stampede. The the anti-american the canadian hero. Do you think that thing could have worked in ninety four for lex and bret with legs being the all american patriot. Okay no i. Don't think that any you know. Unfortunately i don't think lex let's could come off genuine on either side of that. You know what i mean. Forget lex for a minute. I'm really trying to ask a question about breath. Do you think. Because i think breath. Nineteen ninety seven is fucking masterful. I think if you take brad's nineteen ninety-seven you can put it up against almost anybody. As far as the promos. The entering work the character work. I was more invested in. Brett's nineteen ninety seven creative body work than any other year by a mile and it felt real and i guess my question is those. Were trying to find okay. He's our steady reliable. He's always going to have good matches blah blah blah. But that's him as a baby face. Do you think brett could've turn that knob to eleven as the canadian hero here in ninety four and been he'll know because he wasn't the canadian hero yet i think brett needed that run is a champion and as the end. All be all to get you to that point. I say i'm accents unless there's some questions here from fans we've got ontario wild man podcast. I guess forgetting creative with how we're plugging here. was selecting bret hart to become the main event guy. A strategic move to redirect is and change people's minds of what wrestlers are supposed to look like because of the steroid trial or was brad truly picked because he was supposed to be the next hulk hogan so We didn't talk about steroid trial. But i do think that's worth mentioning. You wanna guy who can be your poster boy. Who does it look like the anabolic warrior. Has i think some of called the ultimate warrior that has to play a assumption in california. Call them that but anyway I don't know the the the idea to change the idea to give a completely different presentation. Yes but how brett was picked was looking at specifically reaction that he had received on last. Few international tours is dependability. And the length of time that he had been there and to be something different. Not to be the next hulk hogan and that's what we made the mistake in sometime. Say what would we have done this with hulk. Brent wasn't hope right in that and that was also the beginning of man we got. We got to present different than we would ask questions so that was on us but brett was the guy because he was a dependable guy solid. You knew exactly what you were getting in there was a groundswell you look at the international audience that felt that hey man. This guy's a megastar but steroids had a little bit of something to do with it. I mean we did a kevin nash episode years ago. One of our first ones when we talked about kevin coming over you were pretty playing about saying. Oh yeah. He's huge. He's jacked and he's cleaned so that been. Yeah as far as being champion. Or i'm sorry. I lost context but no brett bread was definitely a different look. It wasn't he wasn't someone that people were going to look at and say. Oh look this.

"Of course at this point. Jack tunney is going to order jerry. Lawler to wrestle bret hart because the doing the whole fake broken leg trick or be suspended for life and of course heart starts the match hitting lawler with a bucket pounding on him with a crutch lawler max. The comeback shots from the second crouch is in aram brett's crotch into the post and start choking with christ's security's going to hold back. Oh and bruce. Eventually brett comes back with a low blow pulls down strap which was lost on the entire crowd and then used a piledriver came off the top rope with a point and put on the sharp shooter for the submission and six minutes and thirty two seconds and meltzer would right. Heart kept the hold on for several minutes. While several referees and road agents and family members stood around it was finally announced. The decision was reversed and that by virtue of the win lawler had become king of the wwf. So i guess. King is a new title but it's under mexican rule since it could change hands by q. Lawler ends up being carried out on a stretcher. And while on the stretcher bruce attacks lawler and as a match. It's maybe three stars. But the whole scenario from start to finish was worth four stars meltzer loved. It loved the idea of showing the harder. Edge of. Bruce are not bruce but of brett Good stuff man. I mean any sort of doubts you had about this decision. Creatively had to be quelled when you actually see him. Pull it off right. Yeah i knew they would because lawler's that much pro and breakfasts that damn good But what is lost on. A of people is lawler. Did one thing at the very end of the night it to me. It was the greatest. He'll move inches so simple after all. The bullshit lawler still had his crown shit. And they're wheeling jerry out on the stretcher after he's been beaten to death by brad. Hart has been beaten by brett's brother bruce. And just you know all this crap in their wheedling jerry out and right before jerry. Go soo the koerbel. He barely holds his arm up and his one finger. Saying i'm number one. I'm the winner. Jerry couldn't move could was so beat up. He's being what we allowed. Research was able to barely get that arm up and then put that one finger. Up like yeah. I'm the witter. I'm king in on may be on a stretcher but i beat your guy you love that. Jesus loved absolutely fucking. But that's i mean that's that's the title of a true pro of guy that gets it a real. He'll write that even when you have kicked my ass in left nothing else i won. It gets that last little run up the ass. Beautiful peer comrade versus time to talk about something you and i both love talking about. And that's our pets. We've debated this.
