I’m working my way through the back catalogue of this slowly but surely, and I’m just about to start the 92 Rumble episode. I don’t always agree with everything that Jack or JP say and do sometimes think that they’re their own biggest fans but the content and depth they offer is great. Lapsed Vince is always awesome, however. I absolutely love the first hour or so where they talk about what was going on in the company/business at the time of the show. Everything after that from the letters from fans that always has the same old "GIVE ME WHAT I NEED IN THAT ASS HARD" and "CAUSE IT USE TO BE BETTER" shit, and them basically saying they should be given money I always skip. Then the "deep dive" part is good too. Though I like to listen to Bryan & Vinny after listening to TLF just because they don't gloss over awful flaws and don't look at the past with rose colored glasses. I have to say though, I'm really, really, really, really sick of Lapsed Vince. Every f***ing mention of the guy starts 2 minutes of the low growly voice and it just gets so f***ing old after a while, and its sad almost cause at this point I could actually imagine that senile ass actually saying those things. Lapsed Kevin Nash on the other end always entertains me to no end, even though I can definitely imagine the real guy saying just about anything the Lapsed version does. But God...the literal multiple minute long tangents of that low growly Vince voice. I literally just press the fast forward 15 seconds button until I don't hear it anymore.

I’m still quite new to the show, so maybe Lapsed Vince will begin to wear on me. I’m not too familiar yet with Lapsed Nash, so that could be interesting.

Are you brand new to TLF cause they bury the old stuff all the time usually saying they loved it at the time but it hasn’t aged well? Its been awhile since I’ve listened to B&V regularly but they always seemed to rant about everything except if it was something from when they were kids that they loved,something featuring wrestlers that they loved or stupid comedy they loved but you get none of the detail as you do in TLF.In alot of ways both shows are different sides of the same coin as B&V back when I listened they would have their fake freakouts & rants because their fanbase loved hearing them and thought they were real.B&V are older now and have seemed to have mellowed out alot and on the rare cases I have heard them recently seem to be going through the motions and I imagine the same will eventually happen with TLF. As for the TLF ass stuff & it used to be better they said that stuff jokingly and it caught fire with their fanbase so it only made sense to go with it.The listener letters is smart because those people actually pay them money doing a weekly 5+ hour podcast is alot of work especially when they both have wives,kids and real jobs away from the podcast.They got dicked around by wrestlezone at the beginning as when the show was gaining popularity wrestlezone came to them and said they were gonna start paying them half of what they were paying them to only do the show twice a month so they left WZ and started doing the show themselves getting no money so I have no problem with them asking for money as what they do is alot of work and they deserve to get paid for that work. They’ve said many times most of what they do is shtick to entertain themselves it just 2 friends goofing around talking about pretend entertainment but they really love it so they go deep and hard.Jack’s not even a real lapsed fan as he’s admitted he still watching raw,SDL,Impact,Roh and NJPW every week and always searching for the latest wrestling news while JP hates the current stuff and will only watch it if he’s getting paid. They did a 90 minute interview explaining what they are doing with the show on Fite tv during mania weekend saying most of what they do is a gimmick to be entertaining and entertaining themselves but then they go deep with the research and the analysis because they genuinely love wrestling Jack still currently and JP back when he actually cared.

Don’t get me wrong. I understand why they ask for money and do letters and the origin of “IN THAT ASS”. It’s just I’ve listened since 2015/2016. I don’t need to hear the SAME ways to work in “GIVE ME WHAT I NEEEEED” from their fans or “PUT THAT CHEDDAR ON THE TABLE” 30 times a show from them so I just skip it. I’m not really holding them at fault for it. It’s just that makes like a 3rd of the show be the same thing every week so I don’t bother listening. And they do abeoluty make up shit just to come up with phony “CUZ IT USE TO BE BETTER!1!” Instances. I heard one of them say in tthe Attitude Era there were reasons for cameras to catch thrings backstage. Bullshit. Absolute 100% bullshit. There was a f***ing camera man who was gonna record Austin getting embalmed alive on TV. But modern day wrestling is shitty cuz the “invisible camera man” is around? Just stop it..

There was a f***ing camera man who was gonna record Austin getting embalmed alive on TV. But modern day wrestling is shitty cuz the “invisible camera man” is around? Just stop it.. That’s fair but back in the attitude era they did give a reason for the cameras being their not 100% of the time but alot of the time then eventually they just gave up.Personally I was glad cameras were there for that attempted embalming cause if taker went through with it it would have been very easy to lock him up for a long time that type of stuff should be frowned upon in our society. Question as a B&V listener are they still excessive with their shilling & begging for money on their shows that are behind a paywall? Cause at the beginning of the year I signed up for a month and couldn’t believe the amount of stuff they were shilling on shows you have to pay to listen to they were plugging you to subscribe longer to the site & also pay for a video version of the show,selling tickets to convention in vegas,also buy tickets to watch Bryan wrestle,buy the video of bryan wrestling,pre-order Bryan’s book,give money to Bryan’s wife’s whale thing & selling stuff on ebay auctions,buy T-Shirts & buy tickets & video for a Q&A it was pretty annoying they ended up rushing through their reviews in the hour long show because they spent so much time shilling it put me off seeing I was paying them to listen already but I’m cool with free podcast plugging stuff to make some money.

I've been really digging Lapsed Fan lately. The insight is very interesting, I love their chemistry, and the impressions and jokes make me bust out laughing.
They are the inspiration for my current name on here lol

He hates the normal wwe ppvs he was almost on the verge of tears last month begging Jack to just let it be over so he can go to sleep I can’t even imagine his reaction to this show I almost nodded off reading the results.

LOL He started drinking the second they start recording.I’m only listening to the 1st match and already we’ve had a saudi prince having a one way argument with vince then a thorough discussion on Baron Corbin’s sex life. By match 3 JP breaks out the wine and is now The Visualist.

HAHAHAHA It ran the gamut of emotions JP fell asleep multiple times and had to be woken up to see Goldberg vs Taker and then they had a discussion on this entire show being what’s wrong with wwe as a hole. Other highlights: Jack interviews Savage about Vince’s Steroid Trial and Randy makes some damning claims against Vince. HHH & Orton looking like Turtles. Charlotte Flair having terrible taste in men. JP malfunctions due to booze and devolves into a weird Alfred hayes/Verne/Ole mishmash
