Speaker 1:

On this episode of the Powerspoint Podcast. It's a knock-down, drag-out episode to the death, pitting famous people against each other, as we have our own version of Celebrity Deathmatch.

Speaker 2:

Hey Scott. Let's a fight for the ages. Legends collide. Let's tear up the pages. Fists are flying. No rules, no shame. One will rise one fades from the game.

Speaker 3:

It's a celebrity death match, lights go down.

Speaker 1:

Gloves are off. Who takes the crown? Smack, talks, fly and bodies. Only one survives the bash.

Speaker 2:

Well, hello, hello. Welcome, finally, to the newest episode of the Powers Point podcast. If you are just tuning in wondering what we are about, well, we talk about anything and everything, with the exception of two things. We don't talk religion, we don't talk politics. And why you ask? Because there's plenty of outlets that you could check those subjects out. We're not experts, we don't try to be, and we like to keep this show lighthearted. I'm Scott Powers, and with me, as always, is the man from the bricky town we got, jim banks hello, hello and joining us.

Speaker 2:

I almost want to say in the blue corner, all the way from big toledo, ohio. You'll hear the trains coming soon. I guarantee we got keith mackie back in the house good to be back.

Speaker 3:

They're actually going right now. So, as you said it, the train was blowing, the whistle released okay, good, now we got that covered.

Speaker 2:

Uh, gentlemen, oh, there it is. I hear it now. Gentlemen, it's been since, uh, either late december, early january, since our last episode, a lot of things have been going down in my life. I don't know about your guys life, but that's what we're here to see what's going on with you guys anything exciting I finally.

Speaker 1:

It took me a couple times, but I got a pat.

Speaker 1:

My truck passed emissions test that's always a plus every time I get I have to go, I mean because it kept failing. I was getting mad, but it was uh, I wasn't like testing, like running it on the high. I just got it repaired and I didn't take it on the highway for a while, do a couple of trips to get it to the computer or whatever. So I finally got that going and every time I pass I always tell myself why don't you just move to somewhere where they don't have emissions test? Cause it's such a hassle.

Speaker 2:

See, that's my thought Exactly. There are 96 counties in state of Indiana and only three counties have emission test Sucks. It does big time, and if I would register my car like 10 miles away from me, I wouldn't even have to. I would just make a fake address up and be done with it.

Speaker 1:

That's what I don't understand. The county right next to the bad one, or whatever with the missions, I mean it could be the same. It's all the same area, right there.

Speaker 2:

Hey Keith, do you guys got emissions up by you?

Speaker 3:

I have never done one, ever.

Speaker 2:

I was gonna ask if that was uh something that they don't have in ohio so it's, it's, it's mandatory for us, and if you don't do it and your car doesn't pass, then you don't get your license plate renewed right, and uh, it could be something as stupid as, uh, your cast caps not on tightly, or if the engine lights on automatic fail you know, it's because northwest indiana was around the mill, steel mills, so they call us polluted, or polluted more like california, the whole state, because there's so much cars and traffic.

Speaker 1:

But we're up in this corner where we have to do it.

Speaker 2:

And it's still crap.

Speaker 1:

But a lot of the mills shut down, so wouldn't that be not as much going up into the air? I don't understand.

Speaker 2:

You know the only good thing is it's free to get tested, you know, yeah, and then you're allowed only so many times and then you have to come back and you have to have the shop fill out all this garbage Like you want to add to your work by going and bothering somebody else to have them fill out, why your car ain't passing, you know, or if it's even passable, you know, they might give you like a two-week extra extended fake license plate.

Speaker 3:

So and then it's all a corrupt system. Yeah, I don't. I'm not 100 what the word emission means so it's just like the carbon monoxide from that's what I thought, that's what I thought it might have to do with. But yeah, that's that's. When you said california, I understood that uh like problems with that there. But yeah, when uh I did, I didn't really think Indiana would, but you never know.

Speaker 1:

It was Northwest Indiana in the old days.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. So, uh, unfortunately, but they are talking about our, uh, our leader is talking about uh, doing away with it. Oh good, because, uh, I'm tired of having to go get my car fixed all the time. And, you know, and it could be something that doesn't even have to do with emissions, it's just your engine light off, you know. It could be a sensor, you know, and or a timing chain. What's timing chain got to do with the missions, man? You know? Like, come on. So, keith, what have you been up to? Man?

Speaker 3:

a lot of the same, you know, dealing around with the house and the family and whatnot. Um, parents still in florida, mom's, felon broke her hand. I think I told you that one right yep yep, but uh, outside of that you know nothing. Spending my time with the dog, my best buddy right on.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it sounds like they are on their five-month. Stay down there, man. It sounds like they aren't having as much fun with the squatters next to them yeah, it's very different.

Speaker 3:

It's very different. No, they did wish you a happy birthday, by the way way.

Speaker 2:

Oh, right on man, right on Jim, the people next to his mom and dad. They got their power shut off and they're loud in the middle of the night. They play their music loud while they're outside fixing like bicycles and all that other stuff. It could be like 1 in the morning, you know, and they don't care. The cops come and then they all come back and they make more noise. But at least it was just her hand and not like a hip. You know something?

Speaker 3:

right, that's what I thought. Yeah, or an illness, even you know right right here's a funny, funny um story.

Speaker 3:

Or, to add to the whole, them getting their power shut off. Uh, I called my parents, just you know, on a random day to talk to my dad and he went outside to talk to me to get better reception and when he was standing outside, the person who came to shut their power off showed up and talked to him before he went and did it. So, from like optics sake, in my opinion it would look like my dad was the one who called to have their power shut off, when they're actually friends of his like him and the lady who lived there are actually friends.

Speaker 1:

That's funny.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so that was the first thing I asked. I had like three days in a row Like I texted. I says, oh hey, how did that go? And then my mom didn't you know, my mom normally controls the phone and I didn't know at. So I'm like, oh shit, what's going on here? But, uh, finally there's like, oh no, no, nothing's going on. In fact. They're like, in fact they're still there. You know, they're still building the bikes and all that you know, which they're messing up by not getting my dad involved. He's really, you know, he's one of the best machinists ever. I don't know what that would cross over into fixing bicycles, but you know he can do all that shit. Every them, you know the guys from that era. They all seem to know how to wrench on something, you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like me, yes, I can barely put gas in the car today's show we're going to talk about something that we kind of all grew up with. I'm sure we've watched, you know, a few episodes here and there, but we're going to talk about, like uh, mtv's celebrity death match. It was different, it was funny, it was. It was awesome because it pitted, like uh, different celebrities up against each other who had in the news like rivalry, uh, or you know, just just fun stuff like Backstreet Boys versus NSYNC. You know it was that kind of rivalry. So then the creator, eric Fogle, and John Worthland Jr, they came up with the stop animated clay celebrity fights and it was gory at times.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, looking back, I didn't realize how gory I'm like. I can't show my son this stuff. It was like God dang.

Speaker 2:

Would you let him watch it now?

Speaker 1:

No, we started to, and then when one ripped off someone else's arm or leg and blood was gushing, I'm like, oh, he doesn't, he's not into like how we were, we didn't mind that stuff, but he's like no more sensitive about that stuff no, I'm more sensitive about that stuff.

Speaker 2:

And when we're going to take a quick commercial break and when we come back, we're going to go to my favorite person, miss ai, and we're going to come up with some of our own celebrities and, uh, make our own like a celebrity death match powers point version and, uh, she's gonna determine the fight and the outcome. So it's very fair, because you know like if I say, oh, hulk hogan's gonna go against sylvester stallone, you know like we may like stallone and we'll be like, oh, he'd kick hogan's ass. We'll find out because miss ai is gonna do the job for us again. We'll be back after these commercials. Do you like metal music?

Speaker 1:

Well, you need to listen to Mostly Metal. 103.1 FM WBLP, valparaiso, indiana. The metal professor has got your music.

Speaker 2:

All right, we'd like to thank our sponsor. Well, we don't really have sponsors, it's just people that I owe favors to. So, like I said before the show or before the commercial, we are going to talk about Celebrity Deathmatch, which ran from 1997 to 2000. And I think there was only 97 episodes, or, I'm sorry, there was 71 episodes, and then MTV thought they'd redo it again, so they came up with another season, but it only had like five or six episodes on it, so there's only a total of 78 episodes. But some of the more memorable fights in this claymation death is, uh, the battle of the Mansons.

Speaker 3:

Uh, you got Marilyn Mans manson versus charlie manson that's probably the one I remember the most, that I remember how, how uh poorly I thought they did marilyn manson's voice oh, definitely, definitely.

Speaker 2:

And then they had, uh, chris rock versus the rock, chris Rock versus the Rock. You had Paris Hilton versus Nicole Richie. It was whatever was in the news at the time. Mariah Carey versus Jim Carrey.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. You know they had Beavis versus Butthead.

Speaker 2:

Right, right, and you know, like they really beat the hell out of each other. I think there was like an Inspector Gadget one too. They really beat the hell out of each other. I think there was like an Inspector Gadget one too. If I remember, somebody had some really crazy gadgets and that's something you know. Like we were testing the AI out the other day to see how she'd handle things.

Speaker 2:

So we put Red Fox or Fred Sanford versus archie bunker and uh and miss ai actually titled it the battle of the racist, he knows. So they were. Or fonzie was. He went against. Uh, who was that from the 70s show? Yeah, kelso. And and like he, fonzie totally killed him without even breaking a sweat. You know he had some magical jukebox rise up from the ring. Oh my God, he did a wheelie on his motorcycle and just like killed Kelso. So I thought tonight would be a great night. You know, we actually came up with this and I think it could be fun. So we're going to do our semi-main events first and then we're going to do the main event through AI, but we may have a couple matches that didn't make that epic, epic uh, semi-main main event, like you know. Yeah, like a prelim card. You know that we have, but we're not going to use ai for it. So let's uh, let's talk about, just if you guys got any offhand um, I got a prelim.

Speaker 1:

It's the uh marx brothers versus the three stooges. Love it. Kind of like chaos to get the whole crowd going getting ready for the two main ones. I love it it's that would be a wit versus slapstick yeah, and the best part is the three stooges molarian curly plus you could put shemp. Yeah, the marx brothers had four marx brothers with zeppoarian curly, plus you could put shemp. Yeah, the marks brothers had four marks brothers with zeppo right.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, you could bring in.

Speaker 1:

You could bring in the three brothers and and larry larry uh, so it could be three on three or four on four, like a war games yep crowd would be real crazy for the making to two main last last comedian standing you would think the stooges would have the advantage being far more durable because, just you know, being so weathered after taking a beating for so many years plus they got.

Speaker 3:

They use weapons more than the mark brothers yeah yeah yeah, and actually have more ring experience, I would say, right, is there any? My see, I'm not as familiar with mark's brothers. Did they ever do any boxing or anything? I swear I remember. Well, I remember Curly. He wrestled Boxing, right, okay, did he Okay?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and every time the bell would ring he'd go ape shit.

Speaker 1:

Mark's brothers would have.

Speaker 2:

Harpo pulling all these things, kind of bell ring and his. He started beating up the referee in fact, and then the crowd was getting in the ring and he was beating the hell out of all the crowd and you just see like a far picture of him and there's like bodies stacked up on top each other and then he ended up beating I think he even knocked himself out man in the end because he was overdoing it and he didn't have nobody else to punch in the arena.

Speaker 3:

So he knocked himself out I think it was the smell of the lemberger cheese, the uh mod at the end. Yeah, if you remember when we did our uh video game episode, uh, when I picked the three stooges video game, that's his, uh, his boxing match was part of their video game was you had to go get the cheese and make it back to the arena in time before the match was over.

Speaker 1:

Right on, right on what would be your prelim Keith.

Speaker 3:

Let me see I had, like I said, I had several cards in For those listening. If you want to see what my entire 12-match card was, scott will be posting it on the Powers Point podcast Instagram page. Jesus, let me see one of the under ones I picked Al Bundy versus Danny Tanner, the dad from Full House. That'd be good, yeah old Bob Saget versus. Ed O'Neill yeah, bundy.

Speaker 2:

Ed O'Neill. Yeah, Bundy, Ed O'Neill's a black belt, a fifth-degree black belt, in like jujitsu or some crazy stuff, or kichun ko or whatever. I got to look it up in the translation book.

Speaker 3:

No, he's a Gracie jujitsu. He might be a black belt by now. I know he said something about being an 11-year brown belt, but something like that, and I know. Obviously he was a boxer and he played for the Steelers for a little while too.

Speaker 2:

But he also got five touchdowns man In one game oh my gosh In one game.

Speaker 3:

Oh, one game.

Speaker 2:

And he loves bigums. But then you got Danny Tanner, who RIP. He's just as dirty.

Speaker 3:

Not to be underestimated, right? Isn't that what they would do on season? He would be the sleeper. They would do that. Why wouldn't they set up what would look like mismatches? And then you know, the person that you thought would be the the um one who was going to get squashed would end up pulling something and and winning yeah all right, huh, who do you think would win? I still think al bundy would win. Yeah, because I've. Did he ever really lose fights, except for the couple episodes where the gangs was beating him up?

Speaker 2:

you beat the hell out of everybody that was looking at Kelly Bundy, right, she could be the guest ref and then, when they like, she would occupy the Danny Tanner because he'd start popping up some daughter jokes or something. Right, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Or the Mary-Kate and Ashley would pull like the thing, like the guy was pulling on you in the whatever with the other one.

Speaker 1:

Alright, let's get to these semi-Maries.

Speaker 2:

For my prelim it is Starsky and Hutch versus it's a tag team versus uh jake and elwood blues oh, that'd be good fitness levels are quite different there yeah, but but when jake's all coked up, oh my god. But they got a sugar bear on Starsky and Hutch. But I think in the end they would start throwing the wacky dance moves out man, and they would take out Starsky and Hutch.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, maybe the heels on the shoes of Starsky and Hutch would be a hindrance to their movement.

Speaker 2:

Bellwood would pull out his harmonica and just start pummeling it into his head, mm-hmm, yeah, all right, so we are going to do our first semi-main, all right? So whoever wants to give me the first match?

Speaker 1:

Okay, I got a semi-main. Okay, I got Jean-Claude Van Damme. Love it versus steven seagal. Love it, the two, steven seagal, the two you have to go back and get when they were both at their athletic prime yeah seagal with his uh martial arts and van Damme with his martial arts and action stars. That would that would just make everybody be like yes.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, yeah, Two very different animals there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and it seemed like everybody would make fun of one and the other, the same, the same one or the same kind of movie, and they did those low budget, kind of like borderline low budget fighting movies and stuff borderline low budget fighting movies and stuff.

Speaker 3:

Man, actually, if I can say this, uh, I myself saw bloodsport in the theater 13 times and this is because, oh, and this is because my older brother saw the movie 27 times and he took me with him 13 times. Dang yep, you know, the hugest, hugest fan of the van damage so I ran it through AI.

Speaker 2:

I haven't looked at the results, I'm just going to start as the ring announcer. Okay, just to build it up, ladies and gentlemen. In the red corner he's done splits on every surface known to man and once punched a snake, unconscious Jean-Claude Van Damme. And then it says Van Damme flips into the ring doing a perfect split between the ropes, then flexes his bicep. The crowd cheers. And in the blue corner is a master of Aikido, a lover of awkward stares and somehow still thinks he's the toughest guy in the room Stian Seagal. Seagal waddles in wearing a way too tight leather jacket, sunglasses indoors and a ponytail that defies time itself. All right, so that's the setup right there of the two contestants. Uh, it's a lot of stuff, man, the bells ringing. Uh.

Speaker 2:

Johnny gomez says seagulls trying to signature lazy grab and twist move. Nick diamond says is he fighting or getting ready to go for brunch? Uh, and all the way down, oh shit, here's, I'll read the win. All right, it says. Uh, it's like when it. It's like watching a walrus trying to crush a beach ball. Van dam escapes, runs up the ropes, does a flying split, kick right into seagull's face, causing his sunglasses, ponytail and dignity to fly off. Simultaneously, the crowd chants finish him. Van damme grabs seagull's ponytail, swings him around the ring like a human flail and launches him into the jumbotron, where seagull explodes into a cloud of leather hair, grease and conspiracy theories. Your winner, jean-claude Van Damme Wow, I love it. Is that who you guys thought would win?

Speaker 1:

Absolutely yeah. Even though I like Seagal, I think Van Damme would probably win that one.

Speaker 2:

Like that commercial, the Super Bowl commercial. Where was uh on the two semis and they were stretching and he was doing splits?

Speaker 3:

but uh, keith, what you got man I have uh, for my co-main event is a tag team match also. It is doc and marty mcfly from back to the future okay, hang on, marty.

Speaker 2:

Okay, hang on, marty, make fly. Okay, versus walter white and yo bitch jesse pinkman. Wow, that's a hell of a fight, man. Uh, give me a second here. What's jesse's last name, pinkman? What's jesse's last name, pinkman? Pinkman, p-i-n-k-a-m-a-n. She'll figure it out. Oh, miss, ai already says oh, now that's a fight worth tuning into. Uh, let's see, okay, so in the blue corner.

Speaker 3:

Six month tv run right there.

Speaker 2:

Man there we go, man In the blue corner. They surf time, battled bullies and somehow kept that DeLorean running since the 80s. Doc Brown and Marty McFly. Doc rides on a hoverboard sparking wildly, while Marty awkwardly moonwalks into the ring holding a skateboard wildly, while Marty awkwardly moonwalks into the ring holding a skateboard, and in the ring corner one's a chemistry teacher turned kingpin, the other's a burnout and somehow survived it all. Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Walter marches in wearing his Heisenberg hat and gas mask while Jesse stumbles in spilling blue meth candy everywhere. Ding, ding, ding.

Speaker 2:

It says the final round, doc and Marty opens a portal to 1985 and out steps Bill Tannen, who's Biff? What the hell is this? Walter Everett, a strategist, throws acid on Biff instantly, turning him into a skeleton. Jesse says it's science bitch. Marty leaps off the top rope, skateboard in hand, and hits Jesse with the McFly from the sky. A 720 degree flip that knocks Jesse's teeth out like mentos in a Coke bottle. Walter grabs Marty by the collar, growling say my name, marty. Terrified stammers, heisenberg, walter, you're damn right. Suddenly Doc zaps flux capacitor, creating a time vortex that sucks Walter and Jesse into a blockbuster video in 1996. They're trapped forever, forced to rent their own seasons of Breaking Bad on VHS. Your winners Doc and Marty.

Speaker 1:

Wow man.

Speaker 3:

I had to pull the tactics out, though, man.

Speaker 2:

It's science bitch. I can hear it.

Speaker 3:

I think that's going to be the quote of the show.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, All right, I think that's going to be the quote of the show. Yeah, all right. So for my semi-main event, let me just start typing it up here. Man, where are you at? So both fights I wouldn't have picked the winners, right? Yeah, okay, give me a second. And here this one might be a screwed up one man, uh-oh, all right. So here we go. All right, I'll ring announce them.

Speaker 2:

In the right corner, straight from Canada, the heart and soul of Uncle Buck and planes, trains and automobiles, it's John Candy. Candy waddles in politely whole and a half eaten stack of pancakes the size of a manhole cover. And in the blue corner he's a tornado in the sport coat, a chippendale legend, and once lived in a van down by the river. It's chris farley. So, so it is the battle of the comedians. We got ding, ding, ding.

Speaker 2:

The final food fight, it says. John Candy pulls out the old 96er from the great outdoors, a 96-ounce steak, and tries to stuff it down Farley's throat. Farley counteracts by inhaling the steak whole, growing visibly stronger like Popeye. After spinach there's a sudden death. The ref, revived by smelling salts made from bacon grease, declares a final challenge. The first to make the other one laugh uncontrollably wins. Candy pulls out of Spaceball's mog costume and does a soft shoe dance. Farley counters by recreating his Chippendale routine, complete with tearing off his pants. The two laugh so hard at each other they literally explode in the clouds of confetti pancakes and rubber chickens. No winner Double knockout by laughter. Oh my gosh, I have never seen. I have never seen that man Like there's always been a winner.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

That's a perfect ending. No one, neither one of them, had to lose. I love it.

Speaker 2:

All right. So here we go, guys, On the Powers Point podcast on the last day of February in the year of 2025, the Powers Point podcast celebrity Celebrity Deathmatch Main event Jim.

Speaker 1:

All right, main event, what all everybody's wanted nowadays. This is today's main event Beyonce versus Taylor Swift. Love it, the two heavyweight supernovas going at it in mute for music.

Speaker 3:

I think some people have already seen that main event, but now it's early to the death.

Speaker 2:

Now, do you want to make it a normal match or is there a match stipulation Um?

Speaker 1:

I can't think of any cool stipulations.

Speaker 3:

No cage no elevator pond or um Kanye West as the referee.

Speaker 1:

Oh, oh dang. I would have made van damme in that a cage match um, well, this is the main event.

Speaker 2:

You can't have two main oh, yeah, that's.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's right. Um yeah, we'll make this a cage match.

Speaker 2:

What the heck oh, here comes the train bringing the cage. All right, here we go. Fellas Beyonce versus Taylor Swift in the cage. Before I hit enter who you guys got, Because I've been wrong on every one.

Speaker 1:

I got to go with Taylor Swift.

Speaker 3:

I so want to agree, but something tells me they're going to pick Beyonce, uh-oh.

Speaker 1:

She's going to use the cage.

Speaker 2:

Is Jay-Z andye going to interfere in this man? Right, we'll find out well they're going to have.

Speaker 1:

What's his name on the outside? Uh, travis, or what's his name? Her taylor's man?

Speaker 2:

they're calling us the pop diva death match. Uh, okay, here we go, ring announcing. In the blue corner she's the queen, the bae, and she woke up like this Beyonce. Beyonce descends from the rafters on a golden throne carried by claymation, backup dancers, wind machine blowing her hair perfectly. And in the red corner, the heartbreaker, the record smasher and the queen of easter eggs, taylor swift.

Speaker 2:

Taylor arrives on a giant pastel or pastel cat strumming, an acoustic guitar made entirely of plutonium records. All right, so I'm moving down, man, to the final round. Oh man, there's a lot. There's costume change, chaos going on, there's weaponized music and here's the final round, the fatal finish. Uh-oh. Taylor, desperate, climbs to the top of the cage and pulls out her secret weapon, a giant scroll containing all her breakup songs. She reads them aloud, turning them into razor-sharp lyric daggers that rain down on Beyonce. Beyonce dodges with flawless choreography, catching daggers mid-dance move and hurling them back at Taylor-like ninja stars. Taylor falls off the top of the cage, landing face-first in a pile of melted Grammys and cat fur. Beyonce climbs to the top rope, hits the flawless formation, elbow drop, smash and tailor through the ring itself into a pit of discarded Grammy ballots and Jake Gyllenhaal's old scarves. Your winner, beyonce.

Speaker 1:

Oh my gosh, no man. They got creative with that one. Now the internet's going to go after the Powers Point podcast. Yeah, it is the Taylor Swift fans. I thought she was going to win. I did not think that was going to happen.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, the Swifties are furious.

Speaker 2:

Is this okay that I'm reading the last round and the setup? Yeah, this is good.

Speaker 1:

All right, I'm just shocked. First the Super.

Speaker 2:

Bowl. Now this what the heck? What do you got Keith?

Speaker 3:

Main event. It will also be a cage match, but a different kind of cage match, I'm sure you can imagine. So my first competitor is Lee Bruce Lee.

Speaker 2:

Bruce Lee, all right.

Speaker 3:

And his opponent in his weight class. Possibly the greatest fighter ever around that 145 area is the notorious Conor McGregor. Oh man, that's one I would like to see is it Mac or? Mc.

Speaker 2:

GREGG yes, in a cage match.

Speaker 3:

Yes, it would have to be, or on a rooftop, but I think you know the cage match would be better.

Speaker 2:

Or what was the old Indian with the bamboo shoots that they tried doing in WWE? The Punjabi, yeah, the Punjabi. Rikali, yeah in wwe. Uh. The punjabi, yeah, the punjabi, uh, khali, yeah. So that's the only stipulation. Cage match, right, I'm hitting enter now. Oh shit, I didn't hit enter. Uh, okay, here we go.

Speaker 2:

A martial arts mega clash is what it's calling it. Uh, in the blue corner, the legend, the philosopher of fist, the man who made martial arts cooler than disco, bruce Lee. Bruce casually walks in hands folded behind his back wearing his iconic yellow jumpsuit, glaring at Connor like he's already planning his eulogy. And in the red corner, the notorious one, the trash talking guinness guzzling knockout king connor mcgregor. Connor struts into the caves like he's walking a fashion runway made of his own eagle irish flag draped over his shoulders. Ding, ding, ding. Here we go, man, it looks like they did some trash talking that at the first.

Speaker 2:

Uh, strikes and savagery. Uh, round three is weapons and chaos. And here we are, boys, the final round, the finishing move. Connor tries his last ditch move, the dublin death dive, launching himself off the top of the cage with a flying elbow aimed at Bruce's skull. Bruce sidesteps, causing Connor to slam face-first into a steel chair Bruce had casually set up seconds earlier. Connor crumbles into a heap, muttering something about whiskey and lawsuits. Bruce performs a flying double foot stomp, smashing Conor through the mat, leaving nothing but a pair of sunglasses, a broken Rolex. A Rolex and a puddle of proper 12. Your winner, bruce Lee.

Speaker 1:

That's who I thought would win.

Speaker 3:

That's who I figured they were going to go with.

Speaker 2:

That's not who I actually think would win, but that's who I believe they would give it to know you know it makes me laugh on how it adds in, like all the what they're going through now, like conor mcgregor with the lawsuits, his, his whiskey brand and, uh, his arrogance, and you know I I like how this is is adding up, up, uh. But here we go. The main event for me is uh, oh man, I just forgot about it. What was the chick from WKRP?

Speaker 3:

Lonnie Anderson. Lonnie, it's okay, I thought I actually I thought Bailey was the hotter of the two.

Speaker 2:

This is my my typical battle of the Andersons. We got lani anderson versus lani anderson versus pamela anderson oh, there you go.

Speaker 3:

Uh, I pick anderson to win that's a smart man.

Speaker 2:

Lonnie Anderson, and there's sin versus Pam Anderson battle of the bimbos let's make this one a death man are not a death match. What?

Speaker 1:

are you going to be evening gown match?

Speaker 2:

You know what? Let's do it. Man Evening gown. Why not man Evening gown match? All right, here we go, folks, it's on. Oh shit, man, I keep hitting the. Now you're talking. It's time for a glamour showdown for the ages a full celebrity death match.

Speaker 2:

Evening gown match between two iconic andersons. All right, looks like johnny gomez and nick diamonds going crazy. In the pink corner, the queen of wkrp in cincinnati, the glam goddess of the golden age, lonnie anderson. Lonnie, stretched to the ring in a sparkling silver evening gown with a plunging neckline, feather boa, and in one hand, martini in the other, and in the red corner, the bouncing bombshell from the beaches of baywatch. Man, I can't, I can't do that again. Over out of bees. Uh, pamela Anderson.

Speaker 2:

Pam enters in a skin tight, red sequined gown with dangerously high slit, blowing kisses to the crowd, half of whom immediately pass out. Here we go, ding ding, ding. It's called the catwalk carnage. Looks like there's some gauntless grudge going on. Uh, um, here it is pam, somehow. Uh, I'm sorry, pam somehow rises fist, pulls a baywatch lifeguard whistle from her cleveledge and blows it so loud lani's eardrums nearly explode. Pam climbs the ropes attempting a flying elbow, but Lonnie rolls away just in time, lonnie rips off the last piece of her evening gown, her rhinestone belt, and wraps it around her fist, punching Pam square in the jaw, sending her flying across the ring into a giant WKRP sign which topples on top of her. Your winner, lonnie Anderson. Wow, wow, you know, know, these are going good. Man, give me one more, each man.

Speaker 1:

Oh my gosh okay, this is the dark match. What? Okay, the dark match is before the others, all right uh, it's the swing bout, right is that?

Speaker 3:

if the main event got over too fast, they usually had one that they would right, they had a backup one yeah, but geez um.

Speaker 1:

Okay, how about let's go for it?

Speaker 3:

liam neeson versus charles bronson oh badass versus badass I know is a scumbag a scumbag. I know he's badass, but I just haven't. I, as I haven't taken the time to re-watch them in my adult life. You know what I mean. I think it was best one, besides hard times death, death wish right one, two, three, four yeah, death wish.

Speaker 1:

Uh, god, there's so many. What kind of matches is this? Oh, this has to be Last man Standing.

Speaker 3:

There you go.

Speaker 1:

Because these two don't give up.

Speaker 2:

I will find you and when I do, I will kill you.

Speaker 1:

And Neeson's big too.

Speaker 2:

All right, here we go. You know what? I don't know where Charles Bronson's name is, you know in the world right now, but I guarantee we're probably the only place that's mentioned his name on this day. All right, he was also in the Elvis movie Kid Galahad. All right, it says oh hell, yeah, we're talking about the ultimate old school versus modern badass brawl Two cinematic tough guys who could kill you with just their glare. It's Liam Neeson versus Charles Bronson in a brutal no rules last man standing. Get ready for broken bones, gravelly threats and enough testosterone to flood a small country. All right, so this is going to be good. And here's the ring announcing in the gray corner. The gray corner. In the gray corner, the man who taught kidnappers, wolves and even air marshals the fear of the name liam neeson. Liam enters wearing a long trench coat, his face in permanent scowl mode, kn knuckles already cracked. And in the steel corner, it's not even red or blue, it's steel and gray.

Speaker 1:

It's a steel corner.

Speaker 2:

The man who brought a gun to a knife fight and a tank to a gun fight, the mustache menace, charles Bronson. Bronson walks in slowly wearing a leather jacket, with a sawn-off shotgun slung across his back in a cigar that lights itself, just out of fear.

Speaker 1:

Oh, wow Damn.

Speaker 2:

It lights itself who you guys got. Man, this is a tough one.

Speaker 3:

Charles Bronson.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to have to go. Liam Neeson, let's try that one.

Speaker 2:

You know I'm going to, I'm going to have to go. Liam Neeson, let's try that one. You know I'm going to, I'm going to. I've been skipping over this, but they have opening monologues with each other. Oh man, it says. Liam slowly circles Bronson cracking his knuckles. Liam, I have a very particular set of skills and they all involve breaking you. Bronson doesn't blink. I don't talk about my skills, I just bury the bodies. Wow, Liam changes in with a brutal elbow strike, but Bronson sidesteps, delivering a punch so stiff it sends Liam's trench coat flying into the crowd. Knock this coat right off. Liam responds with a headbutt that cracks Bronson's cigar in half. Bronson just chews on the rest. All right, so there you go, man. That's the setup, and here we go with the final round. Who did you guys say is winning? I haven't looked yet.

Speaker 3:

Liam Mason Bronson. Yeah, all right, so shit.

Speaker 2:

I don't looked yet. Liam Mason, bronson All right, so uh, shit, I don't even know. Uh, both men bloodied, bruised, but standing stumbled to the center of the ring. Bronson spits blood and mutters I've killed tougher. Liam cracks his neck, replies not today. They charge at each other double clothesline. Both men collapse. Mill Lane begins the 10 count as both legends crawl towards opposite corners using pure grit to pull himself up. At the count of nine, liam stands up using the ropes. Bronson stands but grabs his chest and collapsed from a heart attack caused by too much badassery in one night. Your winner, leon neeson.

Speaker 2:

Wow, that was like a movie, man, damn yeah dude, ain't that how charles bronson died in real life? Yeah, he had a heart attack. How fuck does that that that they really use that against them? Ai is evil. Oh man, and uh, go ahead. Uh, keith, which one you got?

Speaker 3:

okay, uh, I just actually came up with this one on the spot. I would actually like to see, uh, anton chigurh, javier bardem's character from uh, no for Old Men.

Speaker 2:

You spelled Anton Shrug.

Speaker 3:

I'm not sure. So I'm sure if you want a no Country for Old Men guy, maybe you don't know the other guys.

Speaker 2:

I just put in Anton Shrugger, I spelled it out, she'll figure it out.

Speaker 3:

Daniel Day-Lewis's character from uh, there will be blood. What was? What was? Do you remember his name? You ever see that movie?

Speaker 1:

uh, tammany, or is it something tammany?

Speaker 3:

I remember he was saying this is my son right and he would introduce himself. Well, hold on, anton Chigurh is C-H-I-G-U-R-H Hold on.

Speaker 2:

C-H-I.

Speaker 1:

C-H-I-G-U-R-H.

Speaker 2:

Chigurh and the other one is Let there Be Blood. You Said.

Speaker 3:

There Will Be Blood.

Speaker 2:

You got Daniel Plainview, that was his name. Daniel Day-Lewis was Daniel Plainview, that was his name.

Speaker 3:

Daniel.

Speaker 2:

Day-Lewis was Daniel Plainview. Yep, all right, so Daniel.

Speaker 3:

Is he going to drink his milkshake?

Speaker 2:

All right, here we go. Any kind of match.

Speaker 3:

How about a strap match? Okay, I haven't seen one of those in so long. You know, you remember the bunkhouse stampedes.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the one that Dusty always won.

Speaker 3:

Those were so cool man.

Speaker 2:

All right, so here we go, guys. Hell yes, it said. Now this is the kind of twisted, psychotic, oil-soaked, blood-splattered nightmare match we've all been waiting for Anton Sugar from no Country for Modern Men, versus Daniel Plainview splattered nightmare match we've all been waiting for, uh, anton sugar from no country, from old man, versus daniel plainview from the. There will be blood, both men tied together with an unforgiving leather strap. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, just pure sadistic violence. And there's even a warning label on this one. Uh, in the blue corner, the angel of death with a haircut that haunts your dreams, anton shiguri.

Speaker 2:

Anton enters silently, dragging the 15 foot leather strap behind him, his eyes devoid of emotion, and in the black corner, the, the oil bearing with a taste for violence, daniel playing view. Daniel stomps in wearing a dirty three-piece suit, clutching a silver flask, muttering to himself Ding, ding, ding. Both men are shackled at the wrist with thick leather strap permanently tethered together. Anton immediately yanks the strap hard, pulling Daniel face first into his forehead, breaking Plainview's nose. Plainview roars in pain and retaliates by wrapping the strap around his fist and punching Anton's temple repeatedly, trying to wipe the stoic expression off his face. Anton, unfazed, calmly wraps the strap around Daniel's neck and starts dragging him across the ring like a dying mule.

Speaker 2:

And here we go. I'm going to go to the final round. It's called the Milkshake Massacre. Daniel managed to crawl towards his flask, take a long swig of bourbon and spits it in Anton's eyes, temporary blinding him. With Anton reeling, plainview wraps the strap around Anton's neck, drags him to the turnbuckle and starts repeatedly bashing Anton's head into the post. Anton collapses still breathing until Daniel grabs the bowling pin again. I'm finished, yells Plainview. He slams the pin into Anton's skull one final time, splitting it open like an overripe melon. Your winner, daniel Plainview, wow.

Speaker 1:

Man, that was messy.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

This is why kids can't watch these kind of movies. Man, I'm trying to think, man, offhand, what my last like? The buildup or not the buildup, but the timeout match. So, lonnie Pam, let's do. Uh, okay, uh, what was uh marlon way or uh in when he was the the drill sergeant? Uh marlon waynes? Or damon wayne, damian wayne? Damon waynes was major pain.

Speaker 3:

Major pain. There you go.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so we're going to go major pain.

Speaker 3:

Gotta be, somebody needs some killing.

Speaker 2:

Bam Bam. Bigelow is in that, remember, was he?

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so major pain versus Reacher.

Speaker 1:

Wow.

Speaker 2:

Jack Reacher, and how about Reacher? Wow, jack Reacher and how about Reacher. You have two Reacher celebrities, man, you have Tom Cruise.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And then the new guy Richard Richen, or whatever.

Speaker 2:

But, here we go, let's see which one AI picks. Okay, it's thinking it says hell. Yeah, welcome to celebrity death match where military mayhem meets bone-breaking justice. Tonight's brutal brawl features a clash of cinematic badasses. Uh, hope they got the right person.

Speaker 2:

All right, introducing first the man who puts the pain in pain, the legend who made a cadet pee himself with a bedtime story, major Payne. Payne marches in doing exaggerated drill steps, spinning imaginary rifles and occasionally breaking into maniacal laughter. And his opponent, the man who never stops in one place or stays in one place unless it's on top of your broken corpse, jack Reacher. Reacher steps in calm, calm, collected, fist already taped, glaring at pain, like he's calculating how to disassemble limb for limb. Pain starts off with some good old-fashioned psychological warfare, marching up the return, screaming directly into his face, a military drill sergeant style. Reacher doesn't flinch. Instead, he headbutts Payne so hard his cover flies off into the audience. Payne stumbles back, shakes his head off, shakes it off and laughs like a lunatic. Payne, that's the best you got, sweet pea. Let me show you Payne. Payne charges and delivers a spinning elbow to Reacher's gut, but Reacher doesn't budge. He just grabs pain and suplexes him into the mat so hard the canvas rips. All right, let's. Oh man.

Speaker 2:

Round three is called the field training exercise from hell. Fast forward to the final move. Reacher calmly removes his jacket, folds it and places it on the turnbuckle. He grabs pain by the throat, lifts him one hand, it's into the air and starts describing how he's going to break every bone in his body. Reacher, I'm going to break your fingers, so you can't salute. Then your knees, so you can't march. Then your jaws, so you can't salute. Then their knees, so you can't march. Then their jaws, so you can't scream. Reacher slams Payne with a choke slam so brutal the mat splits open like a fault line. Payne lies there, twitching but still chuckling through broken teeth. Reacher climbs out of the ring silently, walking away, leaving Payne embedded into the mat like a fossil. Your winner by complete annihilation. Walking away, leaving pain embedded into the mat like a fossil.

Speaker 1:

Your winner by complete annihilation.

Speaker 3:

Jack Reacher man, that's how I thought it would go. Yeah, it was like some small joint manipulation going on where, when he was trying to choke, slam him pain, grabbed a finger or something, and you know what I mean. See, the first move I kind of disagreed with, uh, with the. I know he always goes for the sucker headbutt, but he don't ever admire his work. He goes straight from the headbutt into the elbows usually, right, yep, yeah just yep, uh, and then takes her sunglasses.

Speaker 2:

That's right. The way I see it is. Uh, we're down one pair of glasses. Yeah, it was going to be major pain versus arlie ermie, yeah, or, or, you know, uh reacher versus somebody, I forget, uh, uh, fight club dude brad pitt.

Speaker 1:

But we'll have to wait and save that for next time yeah, unless you want to have another death match in a couple months away yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Another, uh, celebrity podcast match and uh, we'll go from there. But how'd you guys feel the first night of the, the death match went?

Speaker 3:

see, eric, good, I like these, I like these and, and, like I suggested, I'd like to do the uh, especially if the listeners want to want to hear it. You know what I mean. I'd like to do the uh, especially if the listeners want to want to hear it. You know what I mean. I'd like to do the wrestlemania, the dream wrestlemania, and then the uh music festivals he told you about. Well, I guess, yeah, I put, I sent it to the group, right, yeah, yeah, I think it's something like that, you know something like that.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I don't know if he looked through jim when he said the music festival at Miss AI, she came up with the whole three day frickin stage from the 70s to what? 2000 or something. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Wouldn't? It probably wouldn't have been my picks, and I'm assuming it wouldn't have been yours either. You know, there's some good ones in there.

Speaker 2:

First night was good. That was the 70s legends like Black Sabbath, and, and all of them, and Ozzy even did a solo was the 70s legends like black sabbath, and, and all them, and, and ozzy even did a solo from the 70s. But they had some good stuff and and I like using this ai for stuff like this, you know where we can kind of use our imagination. Yeah, uh, but that's all I got man.
