Hubby and I found a cover to a 1947 Orange Bowl program when that fancy college sports clothes store that like American Eagle used to run in the last twenty minutes it was open on Market Square here in Knoxville.
Speaking of antiquing in Knoxville and of a hobby of mine... I’ve found a vendor that sells nothing but old Life and other magazines from the 1930s through the Fifties. Super awesome...and a thing I collect now I guess. 🤷♀️ They are super cool. And the letters to the editor are...well...from the Forties in the ones I just bought.
Here I go again....don’t care for wrestling or a big fan of antiquing, but I do love to see you show how an average (ok, you’re not exactly average but let’s pretend you are) young father develops healthy hobbies to help balance out the stress of life. You make me smile. Now, I’m never going to go for wrestling because I was the middle child smack in the middle of two boys whose entire childhood was spent worshipping Dusty Rhodes. It was normal to walk in the house & one of them jump from behind the door screaming “Dusty Rhodes” grabbing me as I begin to fall yelling “It’s the sleeper, folks”. It was easier to just become dead weight & not fight back because they would tag team me if I didn’t give up. Not happy memories.....but, I think, now that I’m retired I’m going to look into a few antique shops. I’m a retired American history teacher & since I have the time....I just may take a liking to it. I’m going to text my high school/college best friend & see if she wants to do this with me! Blessing me every chance you get! I will keep you posted. Cindy from the Sunshine State that hasn’t seen sunshine since DeSantis became governor.
Sounds like I’d get along with your brothers 🤣. As a history teacher I’m surprised you aren’t really into them and I have faith that you will be! Would love to talk history with you someday. I’ve always said if I had to do anything other than comedy as a career history teacher would be it
I’ve posted on here so many times that you would have been a good teacher. I spotted that many years ago when Trae Crowder turned me onto you. But as I’ve watched you grow I came to the conclusion you ARE a teacher. Your podium is not just Stand Up, it’s social media. You teach everyone you come in contact with. I know that you have anxiety so I don’t want to make you feel stressed. As long as you are being you, saying things the way you do, focusing on things important to you, the right words will fall out of your mouth. Just be you. No structure. No audits. And if you can’t find the words that means you’re supposed to listen....carefully, to what is going on around you. You are picking up wisdom that you will be teaching to others. Hey, if no words come, & you’re listening & still nothing comes...take a nap. Or take a shower. Give yourself time. And it will come. You will reach someone, somewhere that needed to hear just what you have to say. That’s your gift. Mr. Rogers would say, “Corey, you’re a helper.” 🙏👍❤️😉
I went through a spell of finding old College Bowl game watches in a toque stores (the ones they gave to the players), some of the 70s ones are so bad they're good again.
There was a shop teacher (who loved pro wrestling) in my high school who somehow managed to get professional wrestling matches staged in our school gym.
Do the names Gorilla Monsoon and Bruno Sammartino mean anything to you? (Always loved the name Gorilla Monsoon.)
It’ll sound great - just ‘cause the King hit Kaufman in the head with it doesn’t mean he broke it
that's awesome! is that CM Punk in the background? and the other one with all the wrestlers.. is one Triple H?

Awww thank you, you’re making me blush!
Oh hell, I would've bought the mic just because it was vintage, everything else is just bonus.
Hell yeah brother. Also, I do a fair stone cold impression if the Buttercream Dream would like to do an interview 😂
That's awesome.

What great finds! I love antique stores. I collect vintage Zippo lighters and Mickey Mouse.
I’m not into wrestling at all . . . but what did you do to your right hand?
Spilled koolaid on it

They mean more to me than you may ever know!
Probably! The shop teacher's name, by the way, was Mr. Woodcock. Sounds like the kind of sex toy that would leave splinters...
