A Corporate Time — Episode Notes Episode: "Best of ACT: August 31 – September 4" Hosts: Tom & Dan | Guest: Ross McCoy, Tuddle (Patrick), Brian Idol Sponsors / Ad Reads The Pinball Dudes (thepinballdudes.net): Cold-open ad read for Andrew's pinball machine rental business — sets up and rotates machines in lobbies, homes, and businesses; also books private events (birthday parties, etc.). Based in Jupiter, FL, one of the largest Stern dealers around; Andrew delivers, sets up, and teaches customers to play. Phone: 321-591-1062. Segment Rundown Show open / social plugs — Welcome to A Corporate Time, live on Twitch and YouTube; plug to follow @TomAndDanLive on all social platforms and subscribe to the YouTube channel for extra content. Ross McCoy joins, fantasy football draft recap — Comedian Ross McCoy is in studio; the guys recap their online fantasy draft (ESPN graded it an F) and lament that it wasn't done live, unlike a group of kids they saw drafting in person at a restaurant. The gray dog-poop-bag saga begins — Someone left a tied dog-poop bag in front of the studio's French doors in Baldwin Park; Dan is furious about the entitlement, identifies the bag as light gray/taupe, and vows to hunt down whoever's carrying a matching bag. Poop-bag standoff and shame tactics — Ross suggests a yard sign like ones he's seen ("the poop fairy doesn't live here"); talk turns to flyers or a Nextdoor post to publicly identify the culprit. Dan insists he'll never touch the bag himself. Would money change his mind? — Hypothetical debate over what dollar amount would get Dan to throw the bag away himself; he holds firm even at $9,000–$10,000. Concrete Mike calls in with a revenge plan — Phone-in regular Concrete Mike suggests identifying the dog owner, following them home, and leaving his own bagged waste on their porch in retaliation — "bag for a bag." What excuse would be acceptable? — The hosts debate what explanation (a genuine emergency, an apology note) might excuse the offender; conclude no amount of money would work, only a real emergency — tying into a broader gripe about declining everyday consideration. Dog poop etiquette debate — Discussion of whether bagging poop and tossing it in bushes counts as littering (Dan says yes), how to handle loose stool cleanup, and Dan noting his own dog never goes outside her own yard. "I only poop at home" — Tangent on people, including Tom's sons, who avoid public restrooms entirely. Nose-blowing vs. "snorting," and the mustache dilemma — Dan admits he's a lifelong nose-snorter, complicated by bad seasonal allergies and his mustache; considering shaving if the heat continues into a hot September. Jumbo jet flyover video at a South African rugby stadium — The guys watch and discuss a viral video of jets flying extremely close over a packed stadium through pyro smoke, debating whether the proximity is pilot skill or automated collision-avoidance technology, referencing past aviation tragedies. Tuddle (Patrick) joins via Zoom from Oak Hill — Longtime radio friend and stunt performer "Tuddle" checks in; catches up on the old Tom & Dan Airbnb (sold the remaining furniture back to the owner) and a new relationship he's in. Dating advice and "love bombing" — Talk of overthinking texts, "love bombing" vs. "love vacuuming," and ribbing Tom about his one-relationship track record. Tuddle's radio origin story: first hookup, 1999 — Tuddle recounts his producer days at The Crow in Daytona Beach, meeting a woman through an amateur strip contest at the Pink Pony, and an encounter on his program director's couch during a work trip while his bosses slept nearby. More stories from Tuddle's radio days — A hookup during a Fort Myers syndication trip (including having to inflate an air mattress by mouth) and a brief mention of a later fling with a former local news personality. Old-school radio intern/staffer culture — Nostalgia for 1990s–2000s radio, where junior staff ran errands and did off-the-books favors for hosts in exchange for airtime; Tuddle recalls an in-studio incident that got a colleague, Jimmy, suspended. Ellis Rad YouTube shoutout — Plug for Ellis Rad's YouTube channel, which archives old radio station tapes, jingles, and broadcasts. Listener voicemail: Stern reruns vs. the "best-of" model — Caller Ben ("Ben with the white hair") complains that SiriusXM's Howard Stern reruns are padded with unfunny staff-produced bits instead of continuous classic show audio. The hosts explain radio's "airtime as payment" practice for unpaid staffers, noting their own podcast benefited from similar free plugs early on. Kittens, cats, and an animal control ticket — Tuddle got an $85 ticket from Edgewater Animal Control for feeding stray cats living under his house; recounts the confrontation with the officer (a "police academy" jab may have sealed the ticket) and his plan to fight it. Dad's old-school animal stories — A string of stories about Tuddle's father dealing with yard cats, possums, and a stubborn pig when Tuddle was a kid, contrasted with how sheltered his own kids are today. Pig milk trivia — Discussion of why pigs aren't milked commercially (fast, irregular release, temperament) despite pig milk being calorie-dense; a listener named Crystal adds detail via chat that sows release milk in 15-second bursts. Tuddle wraps up — Floats producing a prerecorded segment for when the hosts are on break; mentions the Edgewater mayoral race and a political sign controversy involving a candidate named Diesel Depew. Weird Job Wednesday: NWA National Heavyweight Champion Brian Idol — Wrestler Brian Idol joins via Zoom for the recurring "Weird Job" segment; discusses growing up idolizing Hulk Hogan and later becoming friends with him and an ambassador for the Hulk Hogan Foundation. Breaking into wrestling — Idol describes the unconventional path he took (left home at 16, years of grinding) versus recommending newcomers attend a proper wrestling school, like the one he runs. Social-media fame vs. wrestling fundamentals — Compared to stand-up comedians who blow up online first; Idol says fundamentals still matter most, though pop-culture crossover can open doors. How dangerous wrestling rings really are — Idol explains most local rings are wood and steel with cheap carpet padding, not "trampolines," and describes the physical toll on wrestlers' bodies, citing Hulk Hogan's spine damage from years of leg drops. Trained by Sabu — Idol names Sabu (alongside RVD) as his primary trainer, calling him a quietly all-time-great of the business. The "fake guru" and fake-wrestler phenomenon in Tampa — Idol riffs on viral dating-app grifters and fake WWE wrestlers he's run into around Tampa/Orlando, including one who claimed to be at NXT for over a year before quietly admitting he'd been let go. NWA's TV deal and making it in the business — Idol notes the NWA's deal with Comet and upcoming placement on the Charge Network, reflecting on how small the percentage of pro wrestlers actually earning a living wage really is. A day in the life of a pro wrestler — Gym four to five days a week, frequent weekend travel for shows, and being recognized in public, like at his local Publix. Baby face vs. heel, and the title's history — Idol confirms he plays a baby face on-screen (more of a heel in real life) and discusses the National Heavyweight Championship's lineage, once held by Roddy Piper, Paul Orndorff, and Ted DiBiase, and its connection to his ring name's namesake, original champion Austin Idol. Working for Billy Corgan — Idol praises Corgan's stewardship of the NWA's legacy, describes their friendship and musical collaborations, and recalls touring as an on-stage act during Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day shows at venues including Madison Square Garden and Fenway Park. How wrestling storylines get decided — Idol compares it to a TV writers' room, with Corgan as the main creative force, and says wrestlers earn spotlight through reliability and work ethic. Character vs. real self — Idol relates to the blurred line between wrestling persona and real identity, referencing Hulk Hogan's court testimony, and says he'd choose the wrestling life over anything else despite the sacrifices. Is there a middle-class tier in wrestling? — Idol says most wrestlers are either scraping by or making real money, but he's built a sustainable middle path by also running a wrestling school and renting out rings. Plugging FCW Wrestling Academy and wrap-up — Idol plugs his wrestling school in Pinellas Park (training alongside Natalia Markova and Mike Mondo), mentions two upcoming reality shows airing on Comet, and shows off an NWA-branded lunchbox featuring his own face before signing off. Post-interview banter and sign-off — The hosts riff on Idol's confidence, thank Miguel Cologne for booking the segment, and close out with a bit about a "lobster boy and bearded woman" wedding happening near the studio on Halloween. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Halloween: A "lobster boy and bearded woman" wedding happening near the studio; the hosts jokingly consider attending. Coming soon: A new reality show featuring Brian Idol premiering on Comet (no specific date given). Ongoing/plug: The Pinball Dudes (thepinballdudes.net, 321-591-1062) — pinball machine rentals for homes, businesses, and events.

Topics of discussion include:The possibility of state athletic commissions getting more involved with regulation of pro wrestling thanks to Vince McMahon testifying that they were "sports entertainment" in New Jersey.Ric Flair re-upping his contract with the NWA for three more years as the promotion is undergoing a major overhaul in every way, but not necessarily in the most positive ways.Talk of the NWA's TV product needing major changes, especially in production and overall quality.Giant Baba's questionable booking of Ricky Steamboat when he comes over as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, as well as the original plans for the NWA Champion on this tour.A great look at Stampede Wrestling from this time period, with Ed Whalen and Bulldog Bob Brown on commentary, Brown getting involved way too much, the "retirement" of Dynamite Kid, and the greatness of Lethal Larry Cameron.Invader #1 returning to action in WWC after being acquitted on all charges in the Bruiser Brody murder case.Terry Funk's insane promo from FCW TV.Bill Dundee taking over the book in Continental and Steve Beverly shares his thoughts on what needs to be done better in that territory.Lance Russell's final TV show on WMC before leaving for the NWA…sort of, because it doesn't actually feature Lance, and we explain why that happened.The same show also featuring the debut of Ronnie P. Gossett, who causes lots of chaos before he meets Jerry Lawler.Eric Embry finding a way to get back in a World Class ring at the expense of referee Harold T. Harris.Larry Zbyszko talking about being the real world champion on AWA TV.Ted DiBiase revealing the Million Dollar Belt on WWF TV.All of this and so much more on a solid episode of BTS!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 Regulation0:27:34 NWA/WCW0:53:28 Int'l: AJPW, NJPW, AJW, Stampede, All-Star/Tomko, EMLL, Torreon, & WWC1:29:49 Classic Commercial Break1:33:22 Halftime (from three months ago)2:16:48 Other USA: ICW (Savoldi), FCW, Fuller/Polk ECHL team, Continental, CWA/Memphis, WCCW, AWA, POWW, WWA/Geigel, & Portland3:31:53 WWFTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

Clay and Jamie Creel ditch the politics and dive headfirst into the glory days of territorial wrestling. From the Jackson Coliseum and Trade Mart to Mid-South, WCCW, USWA, and the NWA, the guys trade stories about Junkyard Dog (and his Stagger Lee run), the Freebirds vs. Von Erichs Texas Stadium wars, Kamala's terrifying debut at the Armory, the Road Warriors pop, and the Blade Runners (Sting & Ultimate Warrior) making their first appearance. They break down the Iron Claw movie, Stone Cold's glass-shattering religious experience at WrestleMania, and why the Freebirds' “Bad Street U.S.A.” entrance song still slaps harder than anything today. Listener calls and texts spark a heated Mount Rushmore debate—Hogan, Austin, The Rock, and Ric Flair get the nods, with honorable mentions flying for Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Andre the Giant, Ted DiBiase, Macho Man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Steiner Brothers, Rock & Roll Express, and more. Pure nostalgia, belly laughs, and “you had to be there” tales from two lifelong marks who still mark out when that glass breaks. If you grew up on Saturday morning Mid-South, Memphis, or World Class, this hour is for you.

Listener John Walker writes in with detailed results from Marion, OH and the notable lazy work from Big John "Grizzly" Studd. Tommy Rich attempts to regain the National Title from Buzz Sawyer. Ted Dibiase is back in Georgia. We look at Omni results when Dusty Rhodes & Tommy Rich team up for the first time ever vs. Rod Piper & Ole Anderson. Jerry Brisco is named Vice President of GCW.
