I'm a winner thanks to @wedonthaveityet.com. I won this. You should probably listen so you can also win things. Or just because you like podcasts.
Free comedy show tonight featuring a guy that looks like me with a hat and sunglasses on who is also a real asshole with a bad New York accent.
After 7 years of not performing, Joey Savior (who is not me at all) will be ruining a comedy show by getting on stage and doing a bunch of magic tricks while harassing the crowd next Thursday in Aurora.
The last episode of Casual Yelling I put out was back in April... Why the hell is now getting traction in July?
Holy shit. I just found a COVID-lockdown photo of myself from September 2020, and I looked glorious/horrendous.
Working ALA was easily the most fulfilling convention I've ever worked. It probably helps that I worked as an exhibitor and not a member of the press. Regardless, what a wonderful group of people to work with at Oni and a wonderful crowd to talk to. 100% would recommend.
I may have sold a lot of my comic collection years ago, but you better believe I held on to X-Men 2099 books. (Issue #1 is in my office)
For those who are confused about my posts the past day, there's a 24 hour battle royal #InfiniteRumble from #MysteryWrestling (a comedy wrestling promotion) happening, raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Donate: tiltify.com/@fighting-ba... Watch live: www.youtube.com/live/VQQor1a...
New WWE 2K26 pass launches today. Listen, I love Filthy Animals Mysterio, but if Rey doesn't want his mask off, please dont include this model in the game. That version of Rey is a different beast altogether. I respect lucha mask culture a lot and WCW did him and others dirty. Don't include this.
Per our phone call earlier.... I haven't found it yet, but I believe it was a Prime CD-ROM game
This is the week! @haynerland.com and I are up to our old antics starting Thursday... discussing things that barely have anything to do with wrestling. For Episode 1, Chris and I are reading a "recipe" listacle from the WWE website of Wrestlemania "approved" party snacks. Spoiler: It's very dumb
I'm still on publicity lists for movies, & I received one for this one today. Questions... 1. Is the hippo trying to eat their hands? 2a. Was this movie conceived when the writer was playing Hungry Hungry Hippos with their kid? 2b. Did they watch Crawl the night prior? 3. Why background so blurry?
Half-assing episode images for when Wrestle Buds comes out. Yes, out of all of the Mystery Wrestling imagery I could have used for our episode about the World's Longest Match, I chose KJ Swayde eating pizza.
Hey @kingserpentico.bsky.social, are you trying to send in Steven to spy on me at 3AM?
Great. Now hackers know I high five myself a lot while watching @mysterywrestling.bsky.social.
Casual Yelling has a video version for paid subscribers of @haynerland.com and myself talking about video games and WWE 2K26. A much more focused (on 2K26), audio only version will be available this year at @casualyellingpod.bsky.social
We need to get a thread of create a wrestlers to share/be able to download. Im still working on movesets, but here's two of the many I made this year: Cop A Doodle Doo (I made him in 25 as well) and Magic Mark.
This is for a YouTube screenwriting job... One of the things they consider perks is... meeting YouTube creators. But hey, you can get all the books you want... but you'll never have time to read them.
Today's insane job posting from LinkedIn. What it means: Working 60-80 hours a week, and there will be no work-life balance. They don't know how to do the job they're asking you to do. You figure it out and they'll take credit. I'm not looking for work, yet I get recommended red flag hell jobs.
