Roll Up 43 - Promoter Spotlight - Grant Baciocco

[Sam Fain]

It's Promoter Spotlight time! Grant Baciocco (throwingtoasters) joins us for a discussion that covers all the usual ground (how did he get into wrestling, how'd he get into the game, etc.) but also takes us on an interesting path about puppets, stand-up, and a snuggie! Of course, we also go into detail about the Filsinger Games Fan Podcast, his overview videos, the superb CWFH bootlegs, Throwing Toasters, and more!

But that's not all, promoter! Todd gives us the lowdown on the upcoming Perennial virtual con, we talk a little AEW, NXT, and Wrestle Kingdom, and Todd introduces a new segment - LEGO Corner :-)

All this and more make for a super-sized episode!

Got it set up for listening. Will be fun to hear what Toasterboy has to say.

Grant was a great listen, even better guy and an unbelievable asset to this community.

He's the one guy I fear in the Galacticon auctions.

Absolute playing to the peanut gallery, love the new LEGO Corner segment and you're passion for what you're currently building. Especially your story w/ your daughter and the Doctor Who build. That's a fantastic story and really happy you had such a great building experience w/ your family!

Fun little anecdote my very first project w/ LEGO Games was LEGO Dimensions and that Doctor Who Level pack was quite possibly my first task.

Edit: I was in the middle of the episode when I posted this so I wouldn't forget to make the LEGO Doctor Who reference, but fantastic interview w/ Grant and would absolutely love a part 2 as there seems to be so much meat on the bone for anecdotes and comments about just his time w/ CWFH let alone is fantastic content he produced on YouTube. I second Chad's statement on Uncharted T this week that Grant is a fantastic ambassador for the game and the community.

Listened to it and found myself wanting to hear more from Grant. Really enjoyed it.

Good episode really enjoyed hearing more from Grant.

Thanks to Sam and Todd for having me on the show, I had a blast and was honored to be asked.

Always love these shows, Grant has always been a class act!

Really enjoyed this episode. Grant has always been one of the most gracious guys on the board. Whether it has been generously sending the CWFH cards to an ever-expanding list or putting up with me as I pestered him about a Hobo SE card until he found a charitable and creative way to make it happen, he is definitely appreciated. I always get a kick out of Sam’s unbridled enthusiasm for Dr. Who and could relate to his Lego story. Finally, I was a fan of Bob Saget and saddened by the news but remembered how surprised I was to hear he was the Commissioner of Chikara, and that was pretty fun and cool. Still wanted to hear more about Grant’s four years at CWFH. Pringle part was very cool, and any other stories he had about Ricker, Cage, or other behind-the-scenes from when he was there would be interesting . I know he has done that with Dave Marquez before, but I still think he probably has an interesting nugget or two personally. Great show, guys.

Fun episode! Definitely watched through those 2134 Livestreams a couple times when there wasn't much Filsinger Games content on YouTube.
