The first time I heard him it was really uncomfortable because he sounded like he had really bad mental health issues, but I figured maybe I was being a little presumptuous about this guy I had next to no knowledge of.

Later on Bryan and Vinny recounted the time he called into the show while involuntarily committed to a mental asylum.... :psyduck:

You should listen to that show. The story of how he ends up in the asylum is incredible.

Any idea which show it was? All I can recall them saying is that he called in and he wasn't happy about it, but they weren't going to do anything about it because they were thrilled by the situation!

Bryan and Vinny were most definitely NOT thrilled with the situation and explicitly said how hosed up it was that he was involuntarily committed to an insane asylum.

Thanks. I'm just basing it on what they said on whatever show they referenced it on, when they seemed to treat the whole thing as a joke.

I imagine it's easy to look back on a situation like that and see it in a different light, but they were pretty clear at the time that they legit thought this was a a loving terrible thing to happen to a person who, while he may be extraordinarily awkward, is no threat to himself or others.

Yeah just reading the description now:

Bryan Alvarez posted:

When you know a guy for ten years and he gets sent to an institution, and you know that he may be weird and wacky but is harmless and certainly sane, it can initially be a source of comedy that such a thing can occur. But then when you hear about what else is going on in the institution and who else is in there, you are very quickly brought back down to earth. It's a fascinating story and there are lessons everyone can learn from it.

Yeah, this was the one I was thinking of too, because I remember Bryan being amused at Brent wanting him to be a character witness and Bryan going "And say what?"

I laughed when Dave noted,"You know... it wouldn't be hard for any journalist to actually discover that Linda's CV is mostly made up" and then I realized what a sadly accurate indictment of journalism this was :(

I actually really enjoyed Chael Sonnen on JR's Podcast, because it kind of felt like Chael is really familiar with JR's show/eccentricities and either played up to them or pushed his buttons on particular issues.

Plus he keeps coming back to trying to force JR to tell his side of the Buff Bagwell got fired story :allears:

"Let's just say, as a hypothetical mind you, that a wrestler's mother called somebody in the office about pushing their son. How would the Talent Relations person react to that, do you think?"
