Is This Real Life? SmackDown Edition: Pat McAfee’s Chaos, Cody’s Revenge & Danhausen’s Curse!

Uh, step in the ring where the real ones meet.Mic in hand.Yeah, we on repeat.Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.Yeah.Tag team champs of the everyday grind.Body slammed doubts, leave 'em behind.From the school runs to the grocery lines.Still got time to drop these rhymes.Late night chats over spilled tea.Wrestling moves in reality.Balance it all like it's destiny.Mama life is the legacy.Reign of the mamas.We run this show Welcome, welcome, because we got so much to talk about today.I mean, we, we had to hit y'all with a surprise, uh, because- SurpriseSmackDown was an experience to say the least, right?Like, oh my God.Mm-hmm.I felt like I went through a lot of changes last night as I was going through SmackDown with my thoughts and my feelings.Mm-hmm.So it was, it, you know, it was an experience.How did you feel about SmackDownWell, I will say I was surprised.I did not see that one coming from Mr. Randy Orton.Did you?I did not see that one coming.I really s- thought it was Stephanie.Really thought it was Stephanie, 'cause it just made sense.You felt like- You know, that's why she came out.You know what I'm saying?That would make sense, you know what I mean?But I will say, what to me stole the night was Trick and his one-liners, calling him a gingerbread and ginger ale.Yeah.And then, and then I was just, like, looking at his Pepper Seppas, and I was just like, "Y'all it remind me of something."But then when I went to try to find it, I was like, "Maybe I'm not really sure if that really reminded me of that.Maybe it was what I thought it reminded me of" But, you know.It was a lot of thoughts and feelings.It, you know, there were a lot of thoughts and feelings, but I also feel like beyond my thoughts and feelings, there was just so much more than I expected.I think I was just ultimately really disappointed, um- Mmat the fact that- Very disappointedWrestleMania isYeah, WrestleMania is 2 weeks away, and this is where we are.This is where we are.So yeah, I was a bit disappointed, and there's nowhere to start that's better than this.So let's start this one off 'cause,Now that I've learned my new tricks here, I can, I can show you my disappointment in complete and utter format because I really sat there.I will take you, you know, screen by screen because after all, there was just really moment to behold.Let's start here.Let's start here because-my notes said, "WTF."Is what my notes said.Here we are.Randy comes out.He starts his promo.We are in it, okay?Mm-hmm.And then suddenly Cody comes out.They get into some fisticuffs, and then here goes Pat McAfee, who we haven't seen for- I wanna say almost a year.Definitely over 6 months I don't know.Definitely over 6 months, for sure.It's hard for me to say when we exactly saw him, but- Mmwe do know he recently had an interview, and he said, basically, "Yeah, I, I am about to be back.Um, y'all done moved on without me, and I could just move on too."And I thought, "Yes!"Welcome, welcome.Welcome, welcome.Hi, good morning.Good morning, good morning.So yeah, nah.So I thought, "Oh, okay.So here we go."Um, and then Pat we doing low blows now?We, we kicking people in the nuts?'Cause I mean, we, we a puncher.You know what I'm saying?So why not?I mean, that would make sense.I mean, no pun intended.Sorry.It's too early in the morning for this.Okay, go ahead.That it is.We shouldn't have did this Mamas with the Coffee 'cause I need something.Anyway, but I'ma tell you something.Of all the things, I'm trying to think of all the ways to say it, but this is not what I expected.And in my notes I wrote, "How do I feel about this?"It's like I had to sit down, like I was with my therapist, and try to figure out, like- Mmhow do I feel about seeing Pat McAfee on my screen right now?And so the first thing I wrote, I was like, "Mm, don't know yet.Let's let him keep talking."Mm.And then I was like- Yeahwas he trying to be the voice of the audience, right?Because we're always complaining- Mm,online.And I was like, is this Triple H's moment to say like, "Let me give the audience a voice by making it Pat McAfee"?Well, I could be down with that because clearly we are unhappy.And Pat went down his run-through on why we are clearly unhappy.Last week's SmackDown was the lowest ever.Mm-hmm.Quote, unquote.I cannot approve or deny of these claims 'cause I didn't look it up.I don't know.And so we are clearly disenfranchised with Cody because the one thing that was really notable to me is whatever happened to Cody, the fans was real happy about.They was real- Good morning.Good morning.They was happy.Mm-hmm.They was cheeringThey was cheering the whole time, and I needed a moment because I was like, "So we, we, we collectively agree we don't F with Cody no more?"Yep.Absolutely, Ariel.100%.Um, what's happening?What is happening?Have we all officially turned on Cody at this time?Do we just- Well, I mean, he's been-uncomfy with him and we don't F with him no more?Like, are we not even gonna start the conversation with, "I like Cody, but"It's just like, "F Cody."Is that where we are?I mean, I know I am.Until he turns heel, I have no need for him to be babyf- I, like, the babyface Cody for me is over and retired.Over and retired?Yeah.Okay.Because I get it.I mean, I get it, John was supposed to be passing the torch back down to, to, to, uh, Cody and- Okayyou know, Cody is like, "I don't really want to."And I get it.You're like, "I'm the babyface, and I'm the one that the kids want to come to."But you wanna know who else likes the kids and the kids like?Roman.And Roman's a heel.You also know who else the kids like?Trick.And Trick is like a, a superhero.He's pretty much a heel.Let's just, yeah.I'm like, he's a superhero heel.You know what I'm saying?He's the one where you like, "Yeah."Like, you know, um, what's that, what's that Will Smith movie?Hancock?That is what Trick Williams is like.Ahh.Like, you're like, "You can't," but not like him, but know you gotta hate him, but you gotta like him at the same time.You know what I'm saying?Like, Cody I will not respect until he turns heel.Like, you can't let them, especially after seeing what Randy was doing to you.Granted, Randy, Randy said, you, I mean, let's be clear, you did tell Randy to bring this version of him out.But what was that going to do for you?Was it gonna bring any version out?'Cause when you came back and cut your other promo, we was like, "You're mad, but how mad are you?Are you ready to get down in the guts, the gritty, the, are you about to show me why you live in Atlanta?Are you gonna tell me why you live there?Are you gonna show me?Or are you just gonna be doing this the whole time?"'Cause if you keep doing this all the time, that's why we're like, "Eh, you just talk.You got a talk show.You just be talking like you didn't do."No- So that's who I am.I ta-Okay, I hear you.I hear you.He, he's, he talk too much.Good morning, Faith.Good morning.Y'all know we like to surprise y'all because we had thoughts, and it wasn't happening last night.Your girl needed some sleep, so that wasn't happening.But all right.Candace, you think people are not gonna boo Randy Orton?I agree with you.I'm agreeing with you right now.Because I'ma tell y'all, y'all should see these notes.I really was sitting here like, "All right, I'm following you.I'm following you."'Cause I will put a recap up because Kiara's thoughts are really loud on this paper.But we're in Randy's hometown.There was no way he was gonna get booed.We like Randy on a, on a bad day.So the fact that he's in his hometown, we got all the likeGo ahead, Faith.You, you tell us what those hints are.I'ma finish thatBut we're in his hometown.We have all the thoughts in the fields.He done brought the family out.We see Kim and the chillun.We happy.You know what I'm saying?We're like, "This is Randy."And then Cody comes out with a chair.Now, that is what made me go WTF.first of all, why did Cody come out with a chair?You afraid, Cody?Randy was the only one in the ring at that time, so question mark, question mark.And then, like I said, he, I mean, Pat was funny.He called Nick Aldis Foreign Adam Pearce.was in stitches listening to Pat.But do you feel like they needed it?That's my question.Did this feud need Pat McAfee or something, is my question.That's what I wanna know.Like, how did you feel it was going 2 weeks out from WrestleMania?I mean, ultimately what Pat said, the WrestleMania tickets are still not sold out.So now you guys are pulling at strings, 'cause we're gonna get on the other topic of why there was Lil Yachty.I don't understand.We're getting sensory overload of too many celebrities, 'cause you're trying to do too much to get us to be invested.And I'm not saying I'm not invested in this match, but I will be annoyed if Cody wins.You understand what I'm saying?Mm-hmm.Yes Like don't get me so invested and then you still screw people over.It's almost like when Vince threw Bret Hart over.You think so?Yeah.Because if we're thinking about how they're building these things up, right?N- and I also wanna say, I felt, I felt like last year they did the same thing, they started building it up faster within the next, the like the 2 weeks or whatever.Like the last 2 weeks they started building and making things faster and trying to get you to do, but by that time, technically y'all was sold out, so I didn't, likey'all were just trying to fumble.But right now, y'all are trying to pull everything out, and bringing Pat back, like you said, is like maybe it's our voices because they're literally sitting here saying, 1, your tickets not being sold out, uh, we are kind of tired of Cody because Cody is not turning heel at any point in time.You've given us dibbles and dabbles of maybe he'll turn heel, and then you take it right back and, and, and, and say, "Nah, I'm still a good guy."For what?'Cause every good guy eventually gets fed up, and then they, then they turn- That's all right.Mm-hmmand then they turn.So it's like, you know, I don't know where else I was going with that thought.But yeah.No, I hear you.And I, I'm seeing you in the comments.I'ma put you up in just a minute, but I just wanna finish this one thought with Pat.So let meHere's my problem.Cody and Randy could actually work on its own, because it's Cody and Randy.But I think you're absolutely right in that the audience is sick of Cody.I'm almost at the point, like we were upset that Cody got the belt back in the first place.You could've gave me Drew and Randy, and I would've been really excited aboutAnd I feel like that's where it should've gone ultimately.typically with the champion, that's what they say.Roman said this all the time, like when he was a champion they was selling out, they was doing this, they was doing that, and now we're seeing a little backlash.But I definitely think there's reasons why.It feels very greedy, it feels very money-hungry.Y'all forgetting we at war?Like we got a lot going on from the price perspective.And flying out to Vegas, paying for these tickets, paying for the insane meet and greets, paying for your name on the ring so you can get a plaque, 'cause they gonna cut it out at the end of WrestleMania, I guess night one or 2.Paying to get on Cody's bus to the tune of a car is crazy.But this is what it's starting to feel like.It's starting to feel very greedy, and I think people are responding to that.I also agree, like you said, that the overload with the celebrities, like we always have celebrities going to WrestleMania.But we've been doing too much.Like this is too-too-much at this point.I actually don't mind Pat, because, like Pat has a history with us, right?But Lil Yachty, what, what you doing here?Now you coming to WrestleMania?Everybody name Mama gonna come to WrestleMania 'cause you want the audience to come to WrestleMania?I'ma tell you something though.You still won't be giving those tickets away.All right, let's check daggone comments 'cause there's some good stuff in here.Let's go to Candace real quick.Yep, you're absolutely right.absolutely right, Candace.let's get into Kay's spoilers.I swear we gonna have to start having like a little label, Kay's spoilers.Because I love these."I'll sum it up all like this.I know what was said, but Pat was not the only one on the phone call.In the past whenever we've seen Pat, who does he roll with?Pat was sent and not called."Hmm.Okay.You're saying Michael Cole?'Cause he hangs with Michael Cole.So who?Unless this could still be Stephanie.Maybe it's still Stephanie pulling the shots.I don't, I don't know who Pat runs with.I know he's obsessed with Roman and them.But like don't know who he runs with, sorry."Pat spoke about business and grievances about people and talent performance.Those words were not his own."I could argue maybe there's a little Roman twist here, because ultimately I do think, again, since we've seen that title come off, things have been a little bit in the decline.Though there are some contributing factors, certainly with the, um, prices of it all.see.They've got another"Two years of dryness.Current champs are not drawing.WWE is resetting their eras."They did.They did.But we're not done with Cody, because he came back.Another picture for y'all.Cody came on back, y'all.Because why not?You know what I'm saying?Why not come on back, have a moment, um, where we losing our mind?Mm, you know what?I did, I just thought about that.You right.I thought about that.He came back.He attacked Kit WilsonOoh, I, I wanna put this back 'cause I think this is fantastic, Faith.Well, The Rock likes to make money and he's on the board, so mm-hmm, mm-hmm, sounds good to me.And remember, he said he wanted Cody to be his champion and Cody didn't wanna do it, so look at where we are.Yeah, I don'tI don't know.Interesting.I like this theory.Anyway, so Cody came on back and he was mad, you know what I'm saying?He had all the thoughts and the feels when he came back on that microphone.He started being crazy.He started talking about how, you know, "What y'all gonna do, fire me?"I was like, "Oh, so we, we having a tantrum right now.We're having a tantrum, Taneisha."And, um, he said, "How did that work out last time?"Yes, Disco Inferno did catch a stray because that's crazy.That was real mean.He just brought him out of nowhere.Yeah, this justWe gon- we gonna just bring up Disco Inferno.But what did you think about this moment, Taneisha?'Cause when he came back, I was like, "Oh, so we, are we turning heel or, like, are we just throwing a tantrum?"And I'm confused.Tell me what you got.He could've said all of that after he had to come back outside.He could've been like, "Where Randy at?"And found him and beat his ass.Oh, that's right, 'cause he left.But, um, he could've been on a mission.That's true.He could've been on a mission.He could've got in the car and been like, "I'mMeet me outside.It's on sight.When I see you, it's on sight.Meet me outside.Where you at?I'm rolling around your hood."Or pull up in front of his house."I'm here.Are you here?'Cause your family's still there.Where you at?"Like, you know?That's how you let people know you mad.To me, he was just throwing a tantrum.I would, as a parent, I would've just looked at him like, "Are you done?'Cause we ain't gonna do nothing.These are all words.Are you done?Shall we proceed?"Yeah.I would've been like, "Are you hungry?Are you sleepy?"That'sI'm like, next.I hear you.I hear you.This was, umI think we are now recognizing there were some mistakes made.But I would argue, is this all Cody's fault or is there some creative to be responsible for this?Is thereI think the lack of story itself has caused some of this too, because technically they really didn't give Cody a good run the first time.I'm just not sure why we went back to do this again leading into WrestleMania.Did you think Cody was gonna sell these tickets more than Drew?Because I would argue Drew's character has been on fire, so I don't think so.That's what I think anyway.All right, here you go, Faith.Cody attacking Kate is what cross road characters do.Hmm.Yeah, he also did say he was finally listening to the voices.You right, I piece.Sorry.I don't know.My overall situation with this, can we lean in?Can weI'm actually going to tell you conclusively, I kinda enjoy this Pat McAfee of it all, and I think it's a good idea to have Pat McAfee in here because maybe he can mix it up a little bit more because clearly something's not resonating with the audience.And I also think the fact that Cody is just ignoring the fact that people don't seem to like him, it's weird.We're gonna do the AEW thing where we pretend we don't hear the boos and, like, we don't care what happens to you.It's just such a weird situation to find yourselfif Pat can, like, save this somehow, I'd be down.The fact that he has to though is a bit of a problem because Randy and Cody should be able to sell on its own.Those 2 characters are diametrically, like, linked, and so they really should have been able to build this exciting story with them.really should have been able to build this exciting story with them.Maybe it's because we have all these random events in the middle that cause problems.And so we have a hard time building stories up to the big events because this is supposed to be their Super Bowl.So this should have been in the works for a longAll right, Candace, you're saying it's not his fault.Girl, don't know that.I think it's just his fault.And what they did to Julia, you're right.You're right.You're right there.Amen.Amen.What she just said here.This is all the fault of management allowing top talent to control their stories instead of keeping it in the hands of creative.But I have a question for you, Faith.Well, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to beg to differ because they don't do that for everybody.And okay.I get it.Top talent, but look what letting Naomi do for her, uh, story did, right?It brought her and it, the storytelling brought.I just think some people are not good storytellers, but creatives should already have, you're supposed to be working with the talent, not just taking their thing.Like you're supposed to be like, all right, this is what you want to do.Okay.I can add this to you.So you may not be ready to turn heel, but I think you should because of this, this, this, this, and this, because Randy's going to bring something out of you.Like, I just think yes and no.Like it's a, it's, it's a double-headed sword because there are some people who out here who can control their narrative really well.And there's some who don't.And I just think Cody right now is in such a weird spot because he doesn't want to turn heel, but your actions are saying that you should turn heel by this time because now you're doing too much.I hear what you're saying.Yes.I do think Naomi didn't necessarily control her story.I think she controlled her character.She was able to like create this character that got the fans invested right now.I think you're right.Cody's at this bit of a stale spot right now.What's he going to do about that?I don't know, but I am also over the fact that nothing's being done about it.Like this little flicker of Cody, does that mean that we're going to get a little bit more granular and greedy?Like where is Cody's character going?I said this last year, he's at a crossroads for his character and he needs to pick a side.Like you can't serve 2 masters.You know what I'm saying?Like you can't be Cody who has this like big vocabulary.He likes to get people drunk on his bus.Everybody loves him.Good times.Right.But be kind of out of touch with what the audience is interested in.So it's like, I'm going to throw this tantrum, but then I'm also going to pretend all is well and not really address the fundamentals of it.Like that's a problem for me.All right.I see you.I am also sick of them talking about ticket sales, Faith.Like it is, it is their problem.No one told them to go back to Vegas this year.If you had gone to New Orleans, maybe you would have sold out just saying no one told them to do that.So, you know, business decisions are business decisions.Think next time do different.You know what I'm saying?Here we go.You know what?Triple H wanted Cody to turn heel.Yeah.That would have been a whole thing.He could have even turned heel at the beginning of this year.He could have even used that Drew story to turn heel because I feel like that's the catalyst.Right.And here we are.We need this white meat baby face, but the fans don't care for it.And that did not work for John Cena.So I'm just saying, we're going to pretend this is not in their hands.You are so right, Faith.I 100% agree with you that they ran too long for this.And he hasn't, there's no new dimensions.There's no new changes.There's nothing that makes me more invested in Cody.There's no Brandy.There's no nothing.We're just kind of stuck here with this version of Cody where even his tantrum feels off.It's like, he doesn't feel like a real person.And that's a problem.As, as a character that we all kind of need to identify with, we don't.You identify with a Drew, you identify with a Randy.He has elements and dimensions and areas that he leans into where Cody comes out every week, talking about what you want to talk about.And we don't want to talk about nothing with you at this point.Like we tired of talking to you unless you show us a new side.So I think they need to figure out how to dig deeper or you're going to continue seeing this become a problem.You know what I did appreciate though?Because I don't want to keep preaching bad things because I did appreciate some fun.So many things.Where do I want to go here?This is what I appreciated.Listen here.Delicioso.Okay.Give me more of this crew that they don't want to call baddies.I don't know what you calling them.I really feel like this baddie idea, I don't know if you sawHe is catching all the strays, Candice.I don't know if you saw Jade's interview.Um, I think she might've been at The Breakfast Club.I don't really remember.But either way, she had an interview where she was, like, shouting out a lot of the Black talent.Um, she was talking about her experiences, why she skipped, um, NXT.She said Triple H felt like she learned, and she did, all she did at AEW would've been equivalent to what happened at NXT, which I strongly disagree with, but that's what was said.was said.But then she also got into the baddies of it all, and why we are not, exactly, why we are not calling them baddies, exactly.Candice.So we're not calling them this because the powers that be, whoever, don't see it as a viable kind of strategy.Whereas Jade pointed out that there is, like, a market for this.If you bring beautiful women to the shows, then men are gonna wanna be near them, right?potentially it could sell more tickets and draw more eyes.You can see the correlation and the opportunities with promotions like a Maybelline or she says sugar daddies, but I don't know what that is, so I'm not gonna lie.Question mark.she had a whole marketing strategy in her head about this, and I think it makes so much sense the way that she laid it out that I hope that they do give her a chance.Now, maybe you don't wanna call them baddies, call them something else, but I love this because it did actually work at AEW, and it still is with the Andrade of it all, by the way, 'cause we don't wanna be in that front row where he could give you the number.We starting to see lots of people doing that.Anyway, this match was really good.I liked it.I thought they did a great job.I thought Michin finally had his time to shine with Rhea, and she looked very, very good in this match.I also think Jade's faction was cemented a lot more here in that they, they felt threatening, and Jade felt it too.I said Jade felt it too as she, uh, hit Miss Rhea.That was just an experience.But also that yellow, yes, ma'am, all y'all was giving gorgeous yesterday.But I thought it was a good match.I appreciate it.I know EO sugar daddies is the candy.Y'all know I don't approve.I don't eat sugar.I thought it was sugar baby.Anyway, we just gonna ignore Carrie Watson.Anyway, so thought this was good.I was thinking about something else, and I was like, "I don't think that's the crowd they want."But then again, you know what?I could take a sugar daddy here or, here or there.Sure.You want some conversation only.Hit your girl up.Anyhow- So-this was one of my, my favorite moments of the night.I was like, all right, Jade came out with the glasses.BFab was at ringside.I thought they looked great despite, you know, Rhea winning still.But it's nice to see Rhea on the, um, underneath it all for a little bit, so it's nice to see that.So I'm excited to see what this looks like.Again, it feels weird that we're 2 weeks out, and this is where we are in the story still.I feel like we should've been further.We should've been more invested.It should be, like, exciting, but I'm not sure that I'm feeling that same excitement that I have in years past regarding.I mean- YeahLet's see.What else we gotta cover?Oh, sheesh.Don't worry.We're gonna get to the main event in a minute.But- Can we talk about the purse that Haley showed- How did you know this is where I was going?How did you know this is where I was going, babes?I don't know.She has no idea, by the way.She does not have the owl yet.She doesn't have the pictures.I don't.I can't believe.Let me tell you something.take back everything I said initially about Dan Haus- Danhausen.I love this character.He is so fricking funny.I knew putting him and R-Truth together would be magic, and it is.And then he cursed a referee?Like, Waitwhat's happening?What did it for, what did it for me was Priest on the outside and he was like,can go wrong?"It's not like he's really gonna be a part of the match, so yeah, tag him.Y'all pray for me too, Faith.I'm trying, I'm trying to work it out.Enough, enough, enough more sugar.Okay, we're working on that.But yeah, no, this was delightful.Give me a Danhausen any day.He's so funny.And then when he ran back, like, to the top of the, like, ramp, and he looks back at them, I'm like, magic.He is so good, so smart, his comedy works, and give me more of Danhausen.And I don't know if you saw the back scene shenanigans with him, and Bayley, and Lyra, and he gave them hats from New York.And he was like, "Yes.For you, for me.Take picture.Take picture."And then he said, "You can give it back now."He took all the stuff back and was like, "Since you won't let me tag with you and get rid of Lyra for WrestleMania," and I was like, "That's crazy."love him.I think it was so good, so delicious.IGive me all of the Dan Has- Danhausen any day because laughing, and I did enjoy that segment deeply.Don't worry, just 2 more things.But it's not even that, it was just the fact that the ref, as he's counting to 3, he goes, "Oh, no.cramp.I don't know.I can't use thisAh."I mean- And, and, and, and he's likeAnd Miz is like, "What do you mean you can't"He's like, "Ah.Oh, look, you tagged, but I can't use the"That was just so funny.Oh.Excuse me about this.Hold up, y'all.I'm so happy that this, this lantern thing was resolved, and that they're giving Tama Tonga this bigger platform.don't know if you saw his entrance this week.I was like, "Oh, so this is a big deal.So he's a big deal," and I can't wait for more because yes please.I don't know who, who put the foot on who's next for him, but please thank you.I, I enjoy this lantern shenanigans, oh my, and the fact that he decided to give the lantern back to Uncle Havi, as he should have.Because why is he the only one who has noticed that, um, the lantern is bad luck?Why are we here?In confusion.So what you think about this segment?I mean, well, you heard me when they came on.I was like, "Ugh, you still have the lantern.Can you give the lantern back?This is a stupid rivalry now 'cause I don't even know what you fighting for.What isTo hold the power of the lantern, for what?For what?What power does it hold?It don't light up for you.It's nothing.It's dead.So you have it for what reason?Okay?"And the fact that TommyTom- Tama, Tama Tonga- Tama TongaGirl, and I know his name.Tama Tonga.That's how you know I'm invested because I was able to tell you who it was.Tama Tonga out there with The MFTs.Now, I don't know everybody else's name yet, but I'm, I'm getting there.I'm getting there.But I was impressed by his entire presentation.And oh my God, Faith, this right here, oof.Listen here, I just wanna thank God for blessing them all with great genetics 'cause yes, yes please.I'm sorry, your kids getting on your nerves right now?Yeah.Well, you know, I have to take the youngest to, uh, basketball.And of course, you know, he wants to make sure we're on time, so he comes in, and he looks at me, and he goes, "I thought we had to go to Harlem."Dude, it's not even 11:00 yet.Like, back up.And you ain't even ready.You don't even got your socks and your shoes on.Don't be coming to me and you ain't even ready.We almost done.Don't worry.We said it was gonna be a quick one.I ain't tell y'all that, but this gonna be a quick one because she got things to do, and I'ma go back to bed, 'cause your girl tired.So let's get into the champion- I don't even know where, I don't even know where I was at.He interrupted my whole thought, a whole other thought.I'm sorry.I justYeah.Sorry about that.We can talk about mister who got jokes and things.And then once again, why are we here saturating ourselves with- Celebrities?rappers that may or may not should be there.I'm not saying I don't know who YoungSee, that just showed you.Hold on.Who was that?So you don't know who that is?Right.Yeah.I do.I know it was a rapper, 'cause you asked me if he's a rapper.Now, do I know his music?'Cause right now my favorite rapper is somebody who ain't there.But, but why?'Cause heI feel like he was having trouble speaking, and I'm like, "Don't youAren't you on the mic?"Don't you rap at your shows so you can't say words?Like, what's happening?Why are you stuttering?Why is there an issue in front of all these people?And then I was like, "Well, maybe you don't sell out crowds like that."But you know what?That is not nice.That is not nice this morning.But you know what?It is what it is.I agree.But Trick don't need you.Trick don't need you.Trick is Trick by himself.He don't need nobody hyping him up.He is his own hype man with his Lemon Pepper Steppers.And you got the or- I alwaysI'm so, I'm really fired up, sorry.I feel you.But we're gonna take a brief pause to talk about West Face just separately 'cause we don't wanna let this one drop.The Lano and is breaking us apart.Does it sound familiar?SmackDown, United Champions with Jimmy and Roman Reigns.Yeah, but they're breaking up.There ain't no way they're staying together.We have already officially denounced that situation.Bye-bye MFTs, or at least bye-bye solo of the MFTs.And then what he gonna do?He gonna go find Roman and them and get a friend?I don't know.Anyway, back to the Lemon Pepper Steppers of it all.I agree 100%.Lil Yachty, I learned his name yesterday.There you go.I learned his name yesterday.Have no idea about his music, and frankly, I don't care because I absolutely agree with you.Because he was stuttering, he was having a hard time, I'm like, "But you're a celebrity.You're, you're"Right?Question mark.Does he have a lot of followers?Can someone help me here?Maybe it's out of my demographic and my generation because I am at a confusion of who this is.And you're right, Trick did not need him.Trick could come down there and just stand anywhere.And then I, he messed up my Trick, like, opening, when he just comes around in that white and it's just the Holy Ghost just lighting him up, and here we are.laughing, I'm crying.I'm done with Faze.I'm gonna put this up after because I don't wanna start no stuff yet.y- you right, he didn't need this.We had a fantastic promo with these two, and every single way he could say Ginger was hilarious.I was out here like, "God, can he"Was this a challenge?Is this- Was this a challenge?And I think he might've won because it was fantastic.It was just so good.He said, "Ginger," he said, "A ginger snap.A ginger snap."Not a TikTok verse.Y'all in the comments again doing the most.We love you so much.Thank you for getting up early withOkay, we're gonna put this right here 'cause I think this is the most funniest thing.Tootsie Rollin and seeing what happens.I'll fight Lash.I am done.I can't do it no more.I'm not fighting nobody, girl.No, Lash'll kill you.You stupid crazy.No, girl.Mm-mm.Mm-mm.No, thank you.Anyway, I do wanna tell you this was a great match, but officially Carmelo's not going to WrestleMania.He also looked like he hurt himself, so prayers out there for his knees because we love us some Carmelo.So I really hope that wasn't- Mmas bad as it looked.Um- Mm-hmmbut Carmelo, my heart is broken.It's broken right now, and it's not your fault.But, um, my feelings is hurt because I really had my heart and my hopes set on seeing him at WrestleMania.What are you doing, creative?I wanted Trick, Melo, and Sammy.That's what I wanted, and I feel like we are being short-changed.For what reason?Because Carmelo was right.He has really done an amazing job with the US Championship.It's helped cement him.I think he should've just kept it.Like, why give it to Sammy right now?Why was that necessary right now?And again- They probably feel bad.They probably feel bad because they hyped him up, made him seem like he was about to get the championship, and then decided not to give it to him.So then they was trying to re-up.But the other thing isNot to cut you off.You're fine.But the other thing is, you know how we also have stopped talking about who attacked- Jacob?Jacob and Jim, and, and Jay?Somehow those conversations have gone away when that could've been, they could've used Sammy as a good storyteller 'cause they'd have been like, "What?We knew that was not coming."Or, you know, this could've been so many other different ways, but I also wanna point out too, you see that ref right there?That is the ref that was in NXT- Okaywho sat here and came out and said, "Miss Kendall attacked."So I'm trying to figure out, when did he get called up?Or was he always a part of the Trick pony?And maybe that's'Cause I'm also trying to figure out how all of a sudden you moved out the way so he could Illuminacate Kim when you were checking on Mello, and you told him to chill out.I'm trying to understand how that happened.I don't know.You right.Like it seems so in tune- Conspiracy.Conspiracyto everything.I agree, conspiracy.So yeah, no, it just breaks my heart, because Mello really is incredible and deserved his WrestleMania moment.And I also feel like the US championship, like the IC championship, is one of the ones that needs to move.It cannot be on the same person all the time.And so if Sammy needed a win for whatever reason, I'm good to just flip it back, and then flip it back again.So with that, was there anything else we need to talk about?I don't feel like there was.And this is funny, I'm gonna put this up for you guys, too, because Faith is one of our favorites.Faith is one of our favorites.So I'm very upset with this storyline with Trick and Mello, and how we ended up here, but I do hope that they find a way to elevate Sammy the right way.I think this has been building for him to be a heel for a long time.I think this is the moment to have pulled that trigger.I absolutely agree with Tanisha that it would have made way more sense for Sammy to be the one behind all of the shenanigans and the attacks on J and Jacob, or Cody at this point.I mean, like somebody gotta, somebody gotta take responsibility for this.Y'all need some new detectives.Y'all need to hire somebody from Law & Order, because this is crazy.Y'all, y'all don't know who did what.It takes forever to get an answer.Please start to lean into your stories.She's sending me, too, y'all.She's sending me, too, 'cause she gotta go, and I know she do.But with that, we wanna thank you guys.That was a girl child.That was a girl child.Jesus.Oh.She's like, "Can you send me money?I need $10."Why?I thought your dad was giving you money.He said he needs a break.Oh, he needs a break.Oh.Y'all, y'all be knowing we real moms.Like this is real life.Like I don't know what's going on with your morning.She needs a break.Anyway- That's crazyFaith had this one note.That said, "What if these rappers are paying to have spots in segments as one-offs, or maybe 2 times?Maybe they should just stick with one.But I am glad that I got a break from Jelly Roll this week.I'm not gonna hold you.I'm very excited about that piece.Thank you, Jesus.I am grateful.Anyhow.With that, again, we wanna thank you for joining us for our quick SmackDown
