Brett Cooper, WWE Backlash 2025 and Ron Josol

My wife and I went to the Irvine Improv to see Brett Cooper, a political commentator and actress. She appeals more to Gen Z, and the crowd at the show was full of young people with many being couples. Brett was pregnant but still moved around quite a bit. With her being pregnant, I do not know if she will go on tour again, or at least, anytime soon. For someone so young, she has a surprising amount of life experience. She did her set similar to how a comedian would do a set, citing more cultural happenings that are going on with just a little bit of politics sprinkled in. At the end, she did a Q & A, and overall, it was a very good show and a full house.

My friends and I also watched WWE Backlash 2025 at my place. I thought that overall, it was a solid show with some good matches and some storylines getting furthered. The stuff that WWE is doing with John Cena is getting mixed reviews. His main event Championship matches are already falling into a similar pattern, but this match against Randy Orton was entertaining nonetheless. I do not know where they are going with the John Cena character, but I am curious to know where he will end up by the time that he retires from wrestling at the end of the year.

Finally, my wife and I went to the Brea Improv to see Filipino comedian, Ron Josol. He really leaned into Filipino culture and parenting, and it was really funny. We both could strongly relate to the jokes. However, the real treat of this show was that we got to meet him after the show and take pictures with him and the opening comedians as well. My wife has been following Josol even before we met, so she was particularly exciting to meet him. Even as we were going home, we were still jazzed up from meeting them.

Overall, it was a busy and productive week, but we got to do a lot of fun stuff.
