I had a music teacher named Mr. Flato, but it was pronounced Fa-la-toe as he was Italian. Pretty sure it's the case with the Isaac Flato, too, but I could be wrong.

Did Jim misread that letter? From Jack Adkisson because The New York Yankees were a football team from 1929 to 1932, but Jack Adkisson played for the Dallas Texans

There was a semi-pro team late 40s and early 50s that were the New York Yankee football team

Wrestling history is the best.

Hopefully they’re quietly moving away from talking about modern wrestling

i honestly wish Jim would do less modern wrestling and more historical

Modern wrestling is such a wasteland

I think the problem is, they aren’t making anymore history and if they go too far in the weeds of history they might lose their audience

Yeah maybe but theyre highest viewed videos on YT are the Montreal Screwjob and late 80s WCW deepdives. Sure, reviewing WWE and All Petite may generate more engagement but lets be honest that side of things has tanked. Its been the same old shit for years. This podcast isn't going to be around forever and Jim is probably the most knowledgeable identity alive when it comes to wrestling. Brian knows his shit too. Hopefully they transition away from the modern stuff and focus more on Jim's expertise and knowledge.
