I enjoy his podcasts, but I can’t be the only one who notices how much he low key and sometimes not so low key brags.
I mean it seems a common thing among listeners is everyone knows he’s rich. By comparison some of my other favorite podcasts are Crime in Sports and Swindled. I have no idea how much money those podcasters have. Hell, I don’t know who the host of Swindled actually even is.
Anyway, do any brags stand out to you?
Some that I recall.
-In the original TNA episodes with Bruce I recall him mentioning Sting getting a Rolex in a weird looking box. Conrad mentions how he’s a big collector of Rolexes so he knows what the boxes are supposed to look like.
-In a recent episode with Jeff Jarrett he finds a way to comment on Jarrett’s office chair and turn it into a comment about how many office chairs he has had to order for his thriving business.
-Talking about how he dropped out of college after showed his a professor a check showing be was making more money already than if he had gotten his degree and worked for 5 years.
-Talking about how his parents work for him. Not that weird, but he’s made it a point to mention several times that he’s the boss at work so there they are not mom and dad.
-Just the Conradisson.
Anyway, he’s given me thousands of hours of free entertainment. But what’s the point of life without the nitpicking?

Yeah, I guess. That being said, it sounds like he’s worked very hard to get all that success. So..*shrugs* I don’t see it as big of a deal.
Conrad gets a lot of shit but I honestly think he mainly comes across as a good guy. And a nerdy of a nerd wrestling fan. So, I really like him.

Dude’s built himself an empire. I’d be bragging too. I wouldn’t even be humble about it, shiiiiiit.

That's only rumor and innuendo.

The Rolex thing at least sounds germane to the conversation. The chairs bit is a little bit weird.

He's just a rich wrestling nerd. |

Didn't he come from a lot of money to start with? I’m not sure. I think he’s mentioned growing up without much in the past, but I could be wrong. I believe he went to community college before he dropped out. I’m sure some rich folks go to community college, but they’re certainly not the majority. |

The Conraddission and its many wings is mostly his cohosts having a go at him.
I think Bruce started with it and it’s a joke he’s embraced.

It’s tongue in cheek to an extent, but it’s not like he lives in a shithole. It’s a decent sized house with a good amount of luxuries and ample space to show off wrestling memorabilia. |

Totally agree but I also bought a house through his company well under the market (via USDA loan) and they were an absolute pleasure to work with so it's hard for me to hate on the guy. |

I listen to him while driving around in my brand new Lamborghini, and I don't notice any brags.
Neither does my personal assistant Virgil.

Dudes not humble at all. What is it is is an act. Everything you see positive on the show is mostly an act as is the good person bs others see. Conrad is a petty man, but more importantly a salesman. He’s selling himself 24/7. If you want to see the real Conrad you gotta listen wait and let the mask slip.
Homophobic jokes, brags about being rich, low key talking shit on ppl not to their face etc etc etc. he’s the type of dude that when caught says it’s only joking or it was a different time. Hell, listen to him when he discusses wrestling. Hell distance himself as far as possible from the more outrageous meltzer or iwc takes, but guaranteed back then he was spilling bullshit just like meltzers.
He’s a salesman so he’s trying to sell himself to you 24/7. He’s proud of what he’s made but he’s also insecure and wants people to like him. I don’t trust the pos further than I can throw him (notfarlolhesfat) but I assure you he’s selling an image.

If you can get yourself into giving people mortgages, you’ll make bank.
Plus, if you’re willingly to advertise literally anything on whatever platform you have, and these days everyone has one no matter how small, you’ll do something.
At least he’s dropped, I think he has, I stopped listening to his commercials he calls a podcast a while ago, he’s dropped the “just a fan” nonsense.

I just stated facts about the dude above. None of which are wrong. Hell his last Prichard show megasode was edited because he was afraid people would cancel him for saying a derogatory word for a transsexual person. It is what it is my dude, he’s rich white trash. |

I grow tired of him and his guests talking about their wealth. Especially jokes about Conrad's.
Unless you pay for his ad free shows, it can become quite unlistable. It is almost as if he is putting in waaaaaaay more ads than he used to, just to make you pay for the service. His shows have more ads, than any other podcast I listen to. Ad free Shows has spendy tiers too.
That said, I do enjoy JR'S show the most. I realize that I shouldn't really whine about something I get for free.
Conrad's Empire is very polarizing for me I guess.
