Hello, everyone, and welcome to Between The Sheets, episode number 556 I'm Josh Kriszellner, joining us all as my co-host, David Bixenspan.
Bixenspan got quite the show this week, as we got Patreon Requested Show, which we'll get to that in a second, but we have a new Patreon show to talk about that was definitely quite different than any other Patreon show we've ever done.

**David Bixenspan** (0:36)
Yes, and we quite enjoyed recording it.

**Kris Zellner** (0:39)
Oh, we sure did.

**David Bixenspan** (0:41)
As we've got our watch along of sorts of Morton Downey Jr's New Jersey Indie Spectacular from 1989

**Kris Zellner** (0:52)
Yeah, so it's featuring such luminaries as Dennis Corluzzo, Larry Sharp, Mitch Steinfeld, Seinfeld, whichever one depends on the person. Captain Lou Albano, Tony Altimore, Joel Goodhart, Davey O'Hannon, Yukon Jack.

**David Bixenspan** (1:15)
Chief Thundermountain and Big Hoss in full gimmick.

**Kris Zellner** (1:18)
Yes, and Morty being completely Morty, and this is fantastic. I mean, we had a blast watching that.

**David Bixenspan** (1:27)
Yes, although until Lou Albano gets in, it's actually a pretty good discussion and well-moderated discussion of the regulation issue, though.

**Kris Zellner** (1:39)
Yes, so we'll have all that and why they were on the show.
Why the show aired so much later than when it was taped, because it was recorded in March, it didn't air until the end of June. And we had to record an addendum after we did the show, because Bix found something that talks about a potential lawsuit on the show that happened on the show. So, yeah, just a fantastic time we had here, and just entertaining, and you guys are gonna love it. And it's something that, you know, if you guys enjoyed us doing this type of stuff, then we'll try to do more of when we can, these watch-alongs. So, find out more, get your access to that more, at patreon.com/between the sheets. So everybody check that out. You know, all the tiers are there. We talk about the halftime. So go there and you can see all the tiers that you want. And we'll, you know, we'll be appreciative of whatever you give us.
And of course, you know, the two tiers that we, you know, we have is $25 electric show for the week. And also the $50 tier, which is like you're sending for a segment of that show if you choose. And that's what we have this week, Bix. As we are joined by someone who has made a yearly deal here every August to be on with us for a show. And he always picks a SummerSlam, which is, you know, there's quite a few of them that we've done with him. And this is one when he asked me about it. I was surprised that we hadn't done already.

**David Bixenspan** (3:12)
And then when you told me that we hadn't done it already, I was surprised too.

**Kris Zellner** (3:16)
But yeah, we haven't, but now we're going to scratch that off our list. And we're running out of SummerSlam for you now, as we've done quite a few with you and others over the years. But yes, we are joined by our dear friend, Scott Passner. Scott, welcome back to the show.

**Scott Passner** (3:31)
Great to be with you guys. How are you?

**Kris Zellner** (3:34)
Oh, we're good. We're good. Yeah. I mean, we're getting into the, you know, in the dog days of Summer here and yeah, football season is approaching as we talked about off the air. So yeah, that's and hopefully cool weather is coming because I know I'm tired of the heat. So yeah, let's let's get into the fall time of year. I'm telling you.

**Scott Passner** (3:55)
I'm with I'm with you, Chris. This is my favorite time of year. I'm with the August birthday. Yeah, we're running out of SummerSlam soon. We're going to have to be doing some of those two thousands.

**Kris Zellner** (4:04)
Oh, right. So yeah, you know, normally when we talk about, you know, have patrons on, you know, we talk about why they did it and you go, you've done this every year for a few years now. But yeah, the reason why you do this is goes ties in with your birthday and SummerSlam. So yeah.

**Scott Passner** (4:23)
It's crazy to think, though, Kris, I said to you before and off air, I was coming into this show, I was had just turned 15, now turning 48 Big difference. Doesn't feel like it was that long ago. Thirty three years.

**Kris Zellner** (4:40)
Yeah, it doesn't. But I mean, you I guess what we can look at is how different the world was then compared to this. Now, it is like a long time ago, really because I mean, think about it here in the week of August the 24th to 30th of 1993
