Wrestling Team’s Ruminations #1: Prop 8

Hello, folks. Mark and I haven’t created a video podcast for some time because we’ve been busy crying ourselves to sleep. It takes a lot out of you the next day, and when you try to actually get work done. As you steadfastly start on your projects after hours of paralyzing fatigue, you’re suddenly greeted by the sleepytime hour. That’s how it is when all your time is taken up in lachrymose exhaustion though. And as you head off to bed and slide under teh covers, a pall of despair overtakes you and cradles you in its squelchy arms. And the cycle begins anew. Anyway, we’re trying to break out of our circular trail of tears, and part of that process is our new series within the WT podcast called Ruminations. And stay tuned, we’re finishing up three big projects in the next month or so and will unveil them post haste.

Best Wiest Ever (#56, Pussy Preslin)

Chimbles,

This is Scott Stavros, Mark’s nephew. I accidentally walked in on him folding pencils last week, so he hired me as the Wrestling Team webmaster in exchange for my silence. I get school credit and all the churches I can smell. Score one for the nice guy! Who says he can never finish anything? Besides my mom: Grandma.

So for my first order of business, I present to you the latest, tawdriest entry in the tardy Reinwell Wiest’s ongoing series on the 100 greatest characters in 20th Century literature, courtesy of Mr. Wiest’s physician, the real-life inspiration for Dr. O’Hunkelly from “Hippocratic Olivia”! This is a particularly sexulent report, as it deals with the controversial jerk sheet by Halvorston Fan Dantry, which would have been banned or at least burned shitless if anyone gave a fuck. Click on “column” to check it out!

Hey, there’s also a very late review of Wrestling Team’s show at Rififi in NYC from July. Suck down the saucy details on the “live” page, but be mindful you don’t muss your bib!

Two Girls, A Cup, and a Pizza Place

I oughtta stab you all. You think you’ve got the best of me and Mark? You think the threatening e-mails and phone calls at 3am are going to scare us off? You think you can intimidate us into entering dreamtime where we’ll face a host of psychic ghouls that you control? Fat chance in hell, freaks. And to prove to you that we’ll never give in to your demands, Wrestling Team has created a brand new video podcast that brings back the old gang, just like when the spider-clown resurfaces in It and the whole cabal reunites except for the one douche who killed himself, but not Harry Anderson from Night Court which is the reason I watched the miniseries in the first place, just like I watched The Stand because Parker Lewis and Dauber from Coach was in it as well as Matt Frewer from Doctor, Doctor.

Perfect Situation

Thanks to living in two different states, Mark and I don’t get to record podcasts featuring the both of us very often, so we took a page out of the Sherman-Palladino playbook and figured what better way to pay tribute to our fans than with a phone call. Aye, b’m'faith! As the Rory to my Lorelei, Mark used his phone fingers to dial me up and as a thanks to everyone who has helped to make us the number two highest rated channel on Youtube, we are giving back with a cover of Weezer’s song “Perfect Situation”. Enjoy!

Best Wiest Ever (#82, Zeke Grombies)

To Whom I May Discern,

My receptionist job keeps me pretty busy, but I can’t complain. I can, however, reduce a crowd to weeping with my Phrenology demonstrations. I was once able to foresee a man’s violent liquification into pure bronze just by feeling the bumps on his doomed cranium. At least that’s what I’m trying to convince of the Big City’s hardened talent agents.

Oh, how I long to make Auntie Auntina proud. How I yearn to become a success in the Big City and show Vinny Kirkwood and all of his doofus friends at the Soda Club that I’ve got what it takes to be a star.

So basically, what I’m asking is that you attend my one woman show: “An Envelope For Gran’pappy”. It’s playing Tuesday Nights at The Supper Triad in L’il East Anglia. Gosh, I just know you’re going to love it, and maybe you could spread the word to some of your industry connections. It would really help me get my foot in the door at auditions.

Also, please find enclosed a letter [Ed. - click on "column" in the main menu] from one of our doctors, Dr. M. Chowderclaws, in regards to a Mr. Reinwell Wiest. I understand Mr. Wiest is an associate of yours. He is ever so interesting.

As each day passes with no callbacks, I envy the silence behind his blissful visage.

Regards,
Prudence Herbert McGertrude
Receptionist, What Me, Mercy? Hospital

Coke Psychology IV

As all good things must come to an end and all Gorilla Grods must eventually be killed by Lex Luthor, so too must this series of Coke Psychologies tumble into the grave of finality like so many gummy worms being dumped into a dirt hole. As I stand above the hole holding a shovel, I wipe the sweat from my brow. A droplet spills and hits the ground to awaken the morass of gelatin and soil. It rises into the air and screams at me, “You! It is you who has murdered me!” “No!,” I scream back, “No, I am nothing! It wasn’t me! It was…” Sadly, my shoulders droop. The guilt pours out of me like a phalanx of gummy bears being poured into my mouth, and a sweet, sticky deliciousness fills the world healing all our wounds. Et tu, Fruity?

Coke Psychology III

Once again, there is version of events that I program on video for you, viewer, and watch to laugh, you may or mayn’t, but regardless, I call foul on your eyes. Once more into the breach doth I and Qrescent go to screech merrily at a dying sun. And as such, does the premise grow weary? Is its welcome worn and frayed? There are crow’s feet and tiring around the eyes, and thus we’re close to death. But prior to expiring, there is life left in these limbs. Marry, ’tis enough to tear the flesh from thy face and to place it in a beaker full of bugs. Mayhap next time we will memorize our lines prior to filming.

O, madam, my old heart is crack’d

An old friend of mine works for Cracked.com(click), and as I wanted to start writing comedy in a more professional context, I talked to him about writing something for the website. He liked Wrestling Team, and then got me in touch with one of the editors. I pitched a few ideas, and out of the misshapen manifold of shitty thoughts, my editor chiseled out an idea about fictional terrorists and how their plans are always so ridiculously complex. So, I wrote it up and waited.

My first attempt to write for a more general audience, and especially in a different voice was…not such a success. Wrestling Team’s shitty nonsense works mostly because Mark’s and my brains actually work like that, making weird connections between homophones and strange conceptual jumps. That’s fine when it’s for our own creations, but more mainstream things that call for a linear writing technique, well, I should probably apologize to my editor. Anyway, the article (click) ran today, heavily re-written because I got the voice of the publication so incredibly wrong. Anyway, as a counterpoint, I wanted to put up my original version (click) here because I thought the comparison between the two was interesting. All of the political stuff is taken out, as well as a thread I had written in where the character writing the piece just broke up with his girlfriend for cuckolding him. Anyway, I wrote this last summer, so my non-Wrestling Team skills are much improvened. But my grammar ain’tly.

Best Wiest Ever (#42, Crank Glitchstein)

Dear Reavers,

As a man of letters, repute and astute tutelage, I have often hitched my mind’s wagon to that battered ol’ chestnut, “If musings be the food of love, then please don’t call me late for dinner.” And never more appropriately has that withered ole’ niblet of chunky charm tickled the brambles of my perambulatory crevasse.

But let me just dangle this participle, and you can feel free to stick it’s ass on a doily. If musings do indeed be the food of love, then why am I being paid such a meager wage for the mega wattage of my anecdotal payloads? I would think me guilty of gilding the lily with my latest missive exploring the masterwork of controversial author Jasper Birnbaum, but the lily is already made of a fucking ton of gold! It grew out of my fucking brain soil that way! So sue me, moron!

Anyway, hurry up and click on “column” before those simpering schmucks at The Wrestling Team shirk my work to make room for a Funny Fart Soundboard or their new blog about Hermit’s Glands.

Coke Psychology II

Hey, dipshits. Theres a famous saying in the world of humor, You cant spell comedy without come. And if thats true, then after watching this, youre going to be covered in it, and by it I mean laughs, and by laughs I mean semen and Wrestling Team, and by that I mean Andy, has produced for you another stumbling installment of The Worlds Favorite Parody Coke Psychology. Deciding that what the joke needed was an actual counterpart (I can see the headlines now! Pitch Perfect Parody of Pot Psychology Pummels Publics Perusal of Podcast! By Robert Novak. Yes, that Robert Novak, the same government shill that revealed Marks underwear was full of shitstains.), I enlisted the aid of my pal Qrescent who was more than happy to accept an honorarium of 20 samolians and a box of Girl Scout Samoas and three thousand home-made samosas in exchange for her participation. Sucker! Youll get your 20 bucks when you pry it from my cold, dead hams.

Coke Psychology

Today a pal on a messageboard introduced me to "Pot Psychology", which you can see by clicking here. Watching it fills me with alternating bouts of desire and self-hatred, the former for being physically attracted to the woman in that, and the latter for being physically attracted to the woman in that. It might very well be that these two dipshits are playing characters, and if so, then good work, lads. I have been bested by the…best. But if not, then they are horrible, horrible people. It all evens out though. If I were ever to meet the "Pot Psychology" woman in real life, she would likely steal my glossary and throw it into an oval.

Anyway, the whole point of their shitty show is to do a sex advice podcast after getting high. Having never smoked pot myself, I have no idea what the deal is, but these two dingbats seem to be having a ball. I was supposed to grade my students' papers this afternoon, but instead watching this podcast made me want to ridicule it, and ridicule it the Wrestling Team (TM) way: with stupid, shitty nonsense. Enjoy, assholes!

Live at the BBT

Wow, we haven’t produced one of these for a while - the hazards of not living in the same city, and also, of being lazy. Hey get off my brain’s back, Superego! You don’t even exist, and Freud was a quack. Anyway, a friend recently put on a show at Pittsburgh pierogie hotspot The Bloomfield Bridge Tavern, which promised a plethora of Pittsburgh people pcovering Bossa Nova psongs, one even in Porteguese. Are kinds of music capitalized? Anyway, we were asked to host the night, and what follows are our opening and third bits. Remember the first night club scene where Annie Hall sings? Also, the laser pointer is something that pays off in the fourth, nearly unhearable sketch, so your senses of anticipation at the denouement will have to suck a dick, which even if your sense is male/gay or female/straight, doesn’t want to have to do right now because it is in the middle of an intense movie and wants to find out how it ends, so please, put it away, and you guys can fool around later before you go to bed, but right now, I just want to, oh shit! Did you see that? The ambassador’s daughter had the secret memo the entire time!

Live @ The Khyber

The very funny Stilborn in the USA comedy tour was coming through Pennsylvania and we somehow got hooked up with them (see the live review on the website for more details). And what a delightful mismatch it was! If there was a momentum killer for the night, a dense, complicated sketch with one of the actors being pre-recorded was it! And something else with an exclaimation mark behind it! Regardless, I think the sketch, although only in its stages of infancy in terms of being a finished bit, works quite well. But you decide. Am I deluded? Does the fact that few people enjoyed mean it is bad? What other philosophical issues can be brought up? Also, and I'm completely serious about this, if you can figure out the deliberate acting choice I made with my character for one of my lines (so this wasn't something the character did all the time, but specifically to add some kind of naturalness to one of the lines), you'll win a prize. E-mail wrestlingteam@hotmail.com with your answer. I just want to see if people noticed the two minutes I put into making my onstage persona one-dimensional instead of zero-dimensional.

Live @ Future Tenant, Thursday, 6/21/07

We, Wrestling Team, performed at Evicted, the biweekly (?) comedy night at the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s Future Tenant space, featuriing local improv ensemble Hustlebot, and now we’re uploading it to the Wrestling Team video podcast! We were originally courting the Future Tenant as a place to shoot Wrestling Team Episode 3, but we were turned down and subsequently were invited to open up for Hustlebot. It had been a while since we had performed, so we gladly took the opportunity. We did Andy’s Question/Wonder bit and Crickets. Laugh for yourself and find out what’s fun.

La Mort de Misogynie Ironique

I have to post this quickly…I’m afraid I’ve been shot…and…I don’t have much time left. You have to understand, there was this tree, and it, it was impermeable. I can’t think of another way to say it except with thirteens. If I try to exclaim another sentiment, I’m afraid of the consequences, for myself and for Phantom Haste. But if every bright entrance can depict a shoulder to cry upon and fountain forth from it, I can’t deliver another cross. I came upon the ship too soon for it to matter, and now what crumbs have excellence been riddled with motes? Lessen the trance, she said, upon finding twelve - no, twenty - armaments in curbed. I sauntered over in a cocksure element, and imbibed whatforth I couldn’t from among the separate rates that occluded my memory from basking in her looks. “Tits!” I screamed as they blanked the hallway in street-screams that centered on an umbilical way of examining the world. Will these, my last words, solve my murder? Let it be known henceforth that this is axis!

RE: Lip-Stync

The freshness of parody run through the wringer of Wrestling Team’s stale absurdity yields this Youtub of shit. Does my disparagement turn you away? Does it make you scream? Can it heal the cut you acquired when you ran rampant through the field and slashed your foot open on a nail sticking out of the ground? When you pulled on it, the insides of your foot revealed a tiny kingdom of nanobots who were only interesed in fucking and in magic tricks. An advanced society, I’m sure, whose only cares are screwing and wonderment, but what of literature? What will the tiny machines read? The works of a micro-Shakespeare? A nano-Yeats? Stephen King?

Podcast 13

Blip.tv f-ed our b-s and couldn’t crosspost to our blog (although the RSS feed is fine). So like some kind of dunce, I have to manually do this shite. Wtf?!

The link to the podcast can be found here.

And this is the description:
Gentle Robeasts, stop your fighting, for another Wrestling Team podcast is here. Let it salve your wounds and balm your Gilead as if it were a nepenthe for your weiner region. And as your scabrous winkie heals of all its mortal screams, let us embark on another adventure. At least for roughly four minutes. Then the wonderland that we invite you into biweekly will disintegrate, leaving your lives as empty as they were mayhap before you chanced upon our wond’rous creation. As you return to the drudgery of your formless and meaningless lives, know this: Mark and I are better people than you are, for we are artistes! Oh that most grand and exalted nomenclature, the artist. Those for whome this existential morass is but a plaything, a mere toy for our amusement, whose every waking hour is but a game of faun and forest, know this, as you trudge away at your shitty lives, Wrestling Team has had more meaningful wank sessions than you will ever know in entirety of your existences. So get ready for our video podcast number 13 in which I lip synch to my favorite Coldplay song!

King of Queens

When the possibility of a job creating content for a youtube-like site reared its head for your intrepid narrator - AKA me, Andy, 1/2 of your beloved Wrestling Team - I jumped at the chanced, and when I eventually landed (even gravity can’t make me attractive), I got my friends Nik and Morgan to help me shoot some footage. This site gets people to create content by offering contests with themes. The following podcast includes two shorts I made around the theme of what I’d do if I were king for a day. King of what?, you ask? Britain, maybe? I don’t know. Anyway, this includes one I shot for them, plus one never-before-seen clip. Do you not feel lucky, punk’d? Will these clips get me a job, or will I remain lonely and unemployed? Only you can decide for me. That is not “you” plural, but “you” singular, and I am talking to the person that might hire me.

Hey guys, Variety just got word of Mark and my development deal, and they printed this article:

“PLESIOSAURUS, or handkerchief. The talent THAT CAN BE LEARNED makes the poet a druggist TODAY the criticism of balances no longer challenges with resemblances Hypertrophic painters hyperaestheticized and hypnotized by the hyacinths of the hypocritical-looking muezzins. CONSOLIDATE THE HARVEST OF EXACT CALCULATIONS. Hypodrome of immortal guarantees: there is no such thing as importance there is no transparence or appearance. MUSICIANS SMASH YOUR INSTRUMENTS BLIND MEN take the stage. THE SYRINGE is only for my understanding. I write because it is natural exactly the way I piss the way I’m sick.

ART NEEDS AN OPERATION. Art is a PRETENSION warmed by the TIMIDITY of the urinary basin, the hysteria born in THE STUDIO. We are in search of the force that is direct pure sober
UNIQUE we are in search of NOTHING. we affirm the VITALITY of every INSTANT. the anti-philosophy of spontaneous acrobatics. At this moment I hate the man who whispers before the intermission-eau de cologne-sour theatre. THE JOYOUS WIND.

If each man says the opposite it is because he is right Get ready for the action of the geyser of our blood-submarine formation of transchromatic aero-planes, cellular metals numbered in the flight of images above the rules of the and its control BEAUTIFUL. It is not for the sawed-off imps who still worship their navel.”

Wrestling Team Fakes Manhattan part II

If it isn’t one thing with those two bumbling oafs called Wrestling Team it’s two things. And if it isn’t three things it’s fore! Watch out because those goofballss have ssliced and the golfballs of hilarity is hurtling towards your trachea. As it plunges into your soft throat destroying your vocal chords, ever to silence you for the rest of your natural lives, know this and take comfort in the fact that your misery brings Wrestling Team great joy. They are scadenfreude fetishists, and the only way those dunderheads can get off (in their sexual thing-a-majigs) is through the sadness and pain of the failure of others. Hence their support of the US government as it plunges us further and further into late capitalism. Nobody wins except the rich, and after you witness Wrestling Team’s antics in NYC, you’ll exclaim that in fact, we are rich! But not with money. Please fund us so that we do not become failures and therefore fodder for our own malformed sexuality.

So, I guess it’s time for you to place a call to your rich uncle, the optometrist, and see if maybe he wants to bankroll Wrestling Team’s next project. Maybe he and his Masonic buddies can pool the change from their last yacht gilding and put it toward the Wrestling Team movie? Or maybe you can stay tuned to the Wrestling Team video podcast for all-new video content, laugh your brains in and tell all your friends and make them subscribe, and then Wrestling Team will become synonymous with the internet!

After Wrestling Team’s humiliatory rebut on the New York stage, the Wrestling Team video podcast continues triumphantly with the epic fifth passage of A Batshit Museum on Five Hours Sleep. Just not in time for Christmas, Wrestling Team bravely examines the truth of the Santa Claus myth that has been bugging kids since the first present burst forth flaming from the filthy flume of their family hearth. What do these intrepid comedy dorks discover? Their illuminating truth beam shines on the most mysterious figure in the American Civil Rights movement. You’re right, none of it makes sense.

Wrestling Episode 2: A Batshit Museum On Five Hours Sleep (Part 4)

Taking a hard look at the social heirarchies of the collective American childhood, Wrestling Team decided to use their Truth Ray to expose the Truth about Cats, Dogs, and You and I as People. The results? A withering satire of playground politics thats funnier than Dakota Fanning doing the voice of a rapping dog who farts, burps, wears sunglasses and Has Cool Clothez! And what’s more, the emotional impact packs more of a whallop than Ben Stiller getting smacked in the nuts by a Rappin’ Squirrel who wear sunglasses, farts, burps, spins records and falls over many, many times as James Brown continually starts and stops on the soundtrack.

Part 3 of the Wrestling Team video podcast recounts the origin story of an exciting new superhero. In the gritty style of Sam Peckinpah’s forgotten classic, "Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man", the third portion of Wrestling Team Episode 2: A Batshit Museum on Five Hours Sleep weeps jagged, action-packed tears all over your steely gaze.

And if that isn’t exciting enough for you, I swear I will give you everything that’s in my wallet if you just leave me and my family alone. Why are you doing this to us? Why? Is it because I only have a coupon for $1 million in my wallet and I keep all of my money offshore in the ocean?

The Vun Kleinlin column that Andy wrote as a sort of “pilot” for a regular Vun column in the Pittsburgh City Paper is now up on the “Vun K.” page. Vun Kleinlin!

Wrestling Episode 2: A Batshit Museum On Five Hours Sleep (Part 2)

"Part 2 of Wrestling Team Episode 2" is the rare sequel that is wetter than the original!" - Terrence Phallic.

This is the second part of the second episode of Wrestling Team’s sketch comedy show. We have split it up into nine parts and will post them once a week to kick off our new video podcast. After that, new video content will be posted on a regular basis. So basically what I’m doing is covering my own platoon, if you get my meaning. This is to say that if you don’t absolutely love the second part of Wrestling Team Episode 2, then I or Wrestling Team am under no obligation to refund the fake money that pour into a chalice before clicking on our internet. So subscribe now and laugh later!
