Yeah, he's famous for a few reasons, one being the brawl at The Palace

Bryan's point was that these people didn't know him to see him, which I didn't either. I know who Ron Artiste is, I've seen the fan punching thing, but couldn't really pick the guy out of a crowd.

Of course once I read his shirt that said RON ARTEST on it, I clued in.

It's totally Bryan, however, to fixate over the skit and demand context, when it entirely was a simple sight gag. It could have been anyone - guy in the background oversees something wacky, the end. But Bryan being Bryan, has to go "MY GOD WHO WAS THAT? WHO WAS THAT GUY?? WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE??? WHAT DID IT MEAN DAVE?????"

Bryan really overdoes it on the "I don't watch sports" stuff. It's constant. Any time anyone mentions a non wrestling/MMA athletic pursuit, he starts on the "WELL I DON'T WATCH SPORTS SO I DON'T KNOW" stuff.

Not to mention that the dude's been a walking news story for the past 5 years. If you watch ESPN once in a while you're gonna hear about Artest. He's pretty much a wrestling character playing basketball.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I remember it used to be that I didn't agree with Alvarez and this entire forum did and now I agree with him quite often and the forum usually doesn't. Crazy.

Also he has been trying to get the Rock to have a match with him for an entire year except I'm not totally sure Artest knows wrestling is not real.

It made sense in context too since Ron Artest is a guy who is a big advocate for mental health rights and is self-admitted crazy.

That's a bit hyperbolic, considering he's a wrestling news commentator and not Hitler.

A poster on The Underground, a popular MMA forum. It's probably Dana, as they noted.

Yeah listening to this interview, it really struck me that Bryan is a pretty good interviewer. You know, on the wrestling journalism curve.

Bryan was being especially stupid and idiotic on the breaking news podcast. He kept saying Joe Rogan wouldn't say stupid poo poo on Fox (I agree) that would get him fired, Dave brought up his twitter and him calling a reporter a oval office on it and Bryan pretty much brushed it aside as if things he said on the internet does not count. It got to the point where Dave just ignored him and moved on.

Dshban, I really enjoy SWF, but god loving dammit, get Baddie a loving hooked on phonics program, because it is getting extremely annoying to listen to him read e-mails like a 4th grader. He stumbles over every goddamn word and has trouble pronouncing simple things. I understand a lot of the emails have bad grammar in them, so loving preread them. Its to the point I simply turn the volume down as soon as he starts to read anything. Larry does the same thing, but he is drunk so at least he has an excuse.

He's gotten better though! I made fun of him one time for his stilted reading and he pretended to turn heel or something for a week and now at least reads at a good pace.

But yeah I know this is a problem. I try to remedy this by correcting him but then I get told off for doing so.

I'll bring it up the next time I'm on the show with him before we record, asking us all to pre-read while the previous person is reading.
