Disappointment to a noble soul is what cold water is to burning metal; it strengthens, tempers, intensifies, but never destroys it.
Protip: searching for "granny's gang" on google will not, in fact, lead you to her facebook page.

You can try searching for it on Facebook but you might get similarly disturbing results.

Dave was in fine form last podcast. I laughed at the reason why banning cell phones from the impact zone won't affect spoilers. And in addition they think THAT'S why TNA sucks.

Wait, TNA banned cell phones from the impact zone? To stop spoilers? I seriously have a hard time accepting that TNA is THAT stupid.

Won't that just stop any Universal Studios tourists from attending? I mean even if they have lockers or something to hold your phone while you watch the show, people who didn't go to the park specifically to watch TNA likely won't want to leave their phone somewhere. Especially only to find out that TNA has swerved them and replaced their phone with a Jeff Hardy t-shirt.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


so at a stroke they've managed to discourage people from going to see Impact, piss off the people who actually do go by making them hand in their cellphones, and also removed any buzz possible from people tweeting about the event? And all this to stop the spread of spoilers, in a way that can be circumvented with a pad of paper and a loving payphone?

This is graduate level stupidity right here.

They want to keep people from using them to text spoilers. Not ban them from the building.

I missed that and thought they came to the compromise of five new friends a week.

I would have sent a killer cover letter to be one of Granny's picks for a friend.

Naw, I have a feeling we would have been BFF's.

I admittedly don't listen to Granny segments but it was a shorter one so I actually listened to it. Perhaps they did so on the next one.

This post has me very excited to listen to this weeks episode. LAW callers generally fall into one of three categories:
-unrepentant morons
-nowhere near as funny as they think they are
-regular old folks who wanna talk wrestling/MMA

That list is in order of frequency of occurrence btw. Though it's really fun to hear Jason Agnew (who is also not as funny as he thinks he is) rip into them from time to time.

Someone on RBR sort of went in a similar direction. Sure, the point about it being a possible PR nightmare if the unthinkable happened is acceptable but he went too far...

Yeah Agnew apparently thinks that condoms are 100% effective and never ever break or fail. I'd like to see him call Kia Stephens stupid to her face and get loving slaughtered.

What was even sadder was hearing John Pollock (who I actually really like) pitifully trying to say :geno: "condoms are only 99% effective you guys." :geno:

Yeah, he could have expressed the same opinion and I would have thought it was stupid if he had said it with more tact, but the way he said it just made him sound like an ignorant douchebag.

The LAW fans on facebook (myself included) spoke out against what Agnew said so he posted this response:

KHARMA RESPONSE:

So it looks as though i've got some of you a little steamed with my comments last night on the show. And let me first say i don't take any of them back!

I agree having a child is an incredibly important, perhaps THE most important moment in someone's life... however looking at a woman's career who has spent the majorit...y of her life training, working indies, and preparing to finally one day hit the pinnacle of the WWE. Then to be put into an angle and receive a major push on television, and essentially have the entire Divas division revolve around her intrusion and integration... well I'd say there are other better times in life to decide to partake in the "miracle of life".

This is a very tough industry for women, and there are choices to be made, i have spoke to a couple of the divas about this who have made it very clear to me that they do want to have children but decided that is something they're going to ...do AFTER their career is finished and they've got themselves set-up to provide for those children.

In my opinion, although this may not be an intentional / planned pregnancy it is definitely ill timed.

I wish Kia Stevens nothing but the best.. a healthy pregnancy, a healthy child, and hopefully a great comeback... but if I were Vince McMahon I would be furious at her making this choice at this particular time in her career.

Go ahead and have your fun bashing me now!

clearly every woman who gets pregnant definitely wanted to get pregnant at that time and by that person. It's why there's no such thing as abortions.

Most of it seems reasoned. But it's lines like 'decide to partake' and 'making this choice' that really strike me as ignorant. If it was an accidental pregnancy, and why would there be reason to think otherwise given her career, it seems rather foolish to blame a person by saying their choice was stupid.

Hearing Dave try to use a sports analogy with Bryan made up for the inevitable week of hearing about Bryan and Ed's tame Vegas adventures. The worst week of the year is hearing about wrestling geeks exclaiming how wild and crazy they were at the STRIP CLUB getting DRUNK.

I need to invite Coughlin along for some real adventures.

I could just picture Bryan the entire time Dave was talking about football. Just waiting for the chance to just somehow change the subject. And Dave just kept going and going. It was hilarious.

That and the Kazarian saga were my favorite parts of last night's show.

I could sort of relate to Bryan, because I know and care jack poo poo about American Football. I realize Dave had a point he was trying to make and I understood perfectly what the point was, but he could clearly have made it in 30 seconds instead of 10 minutes. Still, Dave's long-windedness and semi-incoherent tangents have a sort of charm to them, and are part of the appeal of the shows, I guess.
