00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: I mean, let's go for real. I mean, let's the

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: the relationship that I've had with USA Network for the

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 3: last decade. Yeah, quarter of my life has been unbelievable

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 3: and it makes absolute perfect sense. We shot a pilot

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: episode for this when I was out with my neck

37
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 3: injury in twenty twenty three, pondering life, whether I was

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: ever going to be able to step in the ring again,

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: have any kind of normal life of whatever normal is

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: a six foot eight and three hundred and fifty pounds.

41
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: So my agent and my good friend Kevin, who's the

42
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: producer on the show, we were throwing ideas at the

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: wall one day and they were basically picking on me

44
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: about how when I go out to eat, I'll order two, three,

45
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: four entrees one because I'm a growing boy and I

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: got to keep up the pile bricks on the peat

47
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: castle and stuff. But du it's a I was so

48
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: blessed with my WW career to get to travel literally

49
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: to every inch of this globe and try so many

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: different walks of life in the culinary arts that it

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: really sparked to interest in me for finding new food,

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 3: to trying new things that we were talking about. I

53
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: was like, Yeah, half the time I go to these

54
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: nice restaurants and man, I really wish I could just

55
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: order everything on the menu. And we kind of went

56
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: hang on a second. Austin Wistonpson to a restaurant called

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: The Great Outdoor Suffer Club and shot a pilot episode

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: for just on our own, kind of on a whim,

59
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: and started getting it out for people to get eyes

60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: on it, and lo and behold, it got across with

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: USA Network. They saw what they loved and we ended

62
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 3: up doing an eight episode season one with it with cities.

63
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: Let's see. We did Washington, DC, Orlando, Tampa, New Orleans,

64
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, Fort Worth, Milwaukee, and Chicago for season one

65
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: and it was unbelievable, but a lot of work too.

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: At the same time, while we were I was with

67
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: WW still at the time, we were in Europe on

68
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: tour every week for four weeks or five weeks, so

69
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: I was flying to Europe and wrestled and flying back

70
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: to film Everything on the Menu, then flying back a

71
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: year back and forth for a couple of weeks doing

72
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: that and staying busy doing which was such a blessing

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: in hindsight with how things ended in an abrupt stop

74
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: with WWE, but now continuing my relationship with USA Network

75
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,360

Speaker 1: Let's let him just do the interview himself.

83
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: Dude.

84
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, So here's bron I have I have a question

85
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: that as soon as you started saying like because I

86
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: you know, I obviously knew you traveled the world and

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: that sort of thing, and I didn't realize the scope.

88
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: But now that I realize that what least favorite cuisine

89
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: most favorite cuisine do you have? I mean, could you

90
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: even could you put your finger on that? Is that possible?

91
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 3: I so honestly, I used to like really despise, like

92
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: lamb and peas and stuff like that, and one of

93
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: the restaurants that I ate at into my series, the

94
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: Edison Food Lab in Tampa, completely changed my life when

95
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 3: my perception of what peas work is my whole if

96
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: I've literally loathe Piece and Lamb because for me it's

97
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: just weird, but the way they prepared it, the way

98
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: they did everything, completely change my mind on it. And

99
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: my big thing in life is I'll try anything twice

100
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: to make sure I don't like it, eating all kinds

101
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 3: of Honestly, some fishes, I'm not a big fan off.

102
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: If it tastes fishy or smells fishy, I'm not a

103
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: big fan of it, and stuff like that. I'll try

104
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 3: it just as you know, so I can say that

105
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 3: I've tried it. And that's one of my favorite things

106
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: about with life and everything is taking people out, getting

107
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: them to try new foods. And that's one of the

108
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 3: fun things with everything on the menu, with ordering everything

109
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: on the menu is you never know. Because we did.

110
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: From Mom and Pop's Soul Food Kitchen at Oo's and

111
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: Oh's and Washington, d C. All the way to the

112
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: three star michelin A Lenia in Chicago and everywhere in between.

113
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: And the premise and the idea behind the show is

114
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: we do two restaurants every episode. The first restaurant I

115
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: go to is known for the signature dish in the city.

116
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,559
Speaker 3: Most of those are all those restaurants were open forty

117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: to fifty sixty plus years, from the iconic Bench Chili

118
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: Bowl in Washington, DC to Super Dog in Chicago, to Latsagoon,

119
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: the Bakery and Tampa to Parkway Bakery and Tavern in

120
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: New Orleans. And getting to hear the history, the backstory

121
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: of how these restaurants have stayed open so long, the

122
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: Americana that they keep, the family that runs the restaurant,

123
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: why the people are lined up around the door, and

124
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: you get to taste some of these foods and these

125
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: treats that they make that have been around for so long.

126
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: And it's like taking a step back in a time cap.

127
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: So you're eating American history and then hearing the backstory

128
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 3: and like I said, getting to share these memories with

129
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: the owners and stuff. I got to meet Miss Virginia A.

130
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: Lei in Washington, d C. She's ninety one years old,

131
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: is the owner of Ben's Chili Bowl and told me

132
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: all the amazing. Excuse me backstory through all the Civil

133
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: rights movement, they survived everything being burned down during the

134
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 3: riots of community came together to help rebuild. The restaurant

135
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: is still a stable in the DC area. The who's

136
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: who's of everybody's been in in it for presidents to

137
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 3: even my big carcass made it in there time and

138
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 3: then so then the other restaurant is known as a

139
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: hotspotter and up and coming or a big thing in

140
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: the city. We really vetted out a lot trying to

141
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: find new restaurants that hadn't been featured on shows and

142
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: stuff like that. And the idea behind it is, think

143
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: about going into a restaurant. You're sitting around and you're

144
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: watching everybody's food come out, and everything looks so good.

145
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: You're like, man, that looks good. That looks good. That

146
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: looks good. You're thumbing through the menu and it's just

147
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: like it's so overwhelming. Everything looks so good and you

148
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: can't make up your mind. Well I can't either, so

149
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 3: I order everything on the menu.

150
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: So youre walk in for this pilot episode, does the

151
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: restaurant know you're coming? Because I assume that as someone

152
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: as you said, six foot eight three hundred pounds. They

153
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: see you come in, They're like, Oh, Shita, what are

154
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: we gonna do?

155
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 3: I think there's a little bit of a shit factor,

156
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: definitely anytime I walked in, because you don't see human

157
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: beings like me wandering around very much or walking around

158
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: like I'd like to say and then, but it's also

159
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: the shock and all value of people have seen me

160
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: on television for ten years doing what I loved in WT,

161
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: and some of these restaurants we only got into them

162
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: because of that fact. The owners are the kids. The

163
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 3: owners kids were fans of mine and stuff. That's how

164
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: we got into a Lenium. I me and you talked

165
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: about a restaurant. I think it has like a year

166
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: or two year wait to get on the reservation list

167
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. So it really speaks volume for

168
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: what I was able to do when my time with WW,

169
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: to connect with the fans around the world, now crossing

170
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: over into the Spood space, and having an opportunity to

171
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: do something that I've never been able to do. Everyone

172
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: knows Braunstrom and the character that I've played in WW.

173
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: This is the first time I've had a massive platform

174
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 3: in my life where I get to show the world,

175
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: Adam Share. What you're hearing right now today is raw, uncut,

176
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: real good old country boy that I have. And it's

177
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: so awesome that I got an opportunity now to really

178
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: show the thing myself to the world because I've bombarred

179
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: on people while they're eating. I'm in the kitchen gooping

180
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: off with the chefs. And while you said that, it

181
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: is very probably intimidating when the shadow of a lumbering

182
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: six ft eight, three hundred and fifty pounds monster come

183
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: over your table and starts asking you questions. Here're like,

184
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: is he gonna feed by faux FuMB grind us into

185
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: bread and edus? Or is evenna talk to us? And

186
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 3: then that's the fun thing with the show is getting

187
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: seen people's eyes go WHOA, what is this going on?

188
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: Or them recognizing me, then having the conversation and getting

189
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: to see the other side of the monster, the man

190
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 3: that played the monster, having fun in the kitchen with

191
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 3: the cooks, getting my hands dirty. We're drinking cocktails, I'm

192
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 3: buying shots for the restaurant. It's just a big fun

193
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: party and I'm the wife of it. I love it

194
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 3: and I'm men. I hope people like it as much

195
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: as I had fun doing it and all that stuff.

196
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: And I know for a fact, I'm so excited for

197
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 3: this to come out, the buzz that's behind it, the

198
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: effort in the work that USA Network has put behind

199
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: this to get it out. I mean, I'm getting calls

200
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: and text messages daily and my friends and family like

201
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 3: you've been on my TV fifteen times a day on

202
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 3: three different channels, and I'm literally just humblieve, mind blown

203
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: that I that, somehow again in life, I've tripped and

204
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: fell into absolute amazing opportunities. I grabbed the bull by

205
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: the horns, and I've wrestled that sucker of the ground

206
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 3: and I turned it into a t bone.

207
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 2: Hey, bron Hey, so check this out.

208
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 4: I've been, you know, ever since I became aware of you,

209
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 4: I've had an idea and I'm I'm kind of I'm

210
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 4: kind of the bad idea guy in the group, but

211
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 4: I think this might be kind of the best idea ever.

212
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: Here's what I'm thinking, uh, a partnership that goes along

213
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 4: with the show with Hamburger Helper and it's brounz Stroman's

214
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 4: stroganof I've literally every time I see you in the

215
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: ring every time I see you on TV, I'm like

216
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 4: craving Beef Stroganoff because of your name, and I'm like, damn, dude,

217
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 4: this is a perfect opportunity for braun Stroman. So I

218
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 4: just want to pitch that idea and if it does go,

219
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: I just want a small percentage on the back end.

220
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: Chap boy or whoever's listening out there in the radio space,

221
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 3: let's go.

222
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: Let's go talk to you, Okay, So I said, you know,

223
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: we'll keep w W questions to a minimum. Have you

224
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: now with the new show and the trailer? I mean,

225
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: you're just a funny guy, you know, like like I

226
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: can tell that you just love life and you love

227
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: what you do.

228
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: Have you closed the wrestling door.

229
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: The wrestling door never closes. There's no such thing as

230
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 3: a goodbuye in the rest of the world. It's so

231
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: long for now. You know, business is business, and there's

232
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: tons of crap that I could say, But what's the

233
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: point in that. I can tell you all the amazing

234
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: opportunities that ww gave me one right now that's led

235
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: into me sitting here having this conversation. So at the

236
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: end of the day, business is business, and we all

237
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: play a part in the play. If I had the pencil,

238
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: of course I would have written things differently, but I didn't,

239
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: so I went to work. I did the best that

240
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: I could do, and and untimely, I guess it wasn't

241
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 3: enough or what they didn't want. And we're here now.

242
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: But like I said, the door never closes, and these

243
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: hands are made for passing out for anybody that ever

244
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: wants them, And it's just a matter of figuring out

245
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,119
Speaker 3: the right time to place and the money.

246
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: And sometimes that third part is is the most important.

247
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: Right Well, that's what I've learned, especially in the wrestling business,

248
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 3: where it got to the point where unfortunately it turned

249
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 3: into business, and that's what mattered the most. And you know,

250
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 3: I love the opportunity, like I said, the opportunity I

251
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: had just travel the world, turn and home my craft

252
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: in the ring. And honestly, I think I changed what

253
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: it meant to be or what it means to be

254
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: a big man in the wrestling business, because if you

255
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: look at the landscape across all the three letter brands

256
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: and independent promotions and all this stuff, I'm the last

257
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: of the dinosaurs. We got Omas left and stuff like that.

258
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: But they use him very minimally and stuff is more

259
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: of a sideshow attraction, which absolutely is one of the

260
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: nicest human beings on earth, but also one of the biggest,

261
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: holy cow human beings I've ever seen. So, you know,

262
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: it's it's the evolution of everything, support everything. It all

263
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: goes through different phases in different times, And like I said,

264
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: my time there, I had an awesome opportunity to get

265
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 3: out there and showcase what I could do and you know,

266
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 3: kind of change the landscape and what it means to

267
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: be the big guy moving around ring. And I think

268
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: I left a pretty good mark on the business. If

269
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: I do say so myself, I think, yeah.

270
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 2: We would agree with that. You've got stroke. Oh yeah, unrelated.

271
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 4: I have a question.

272
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: We gotta run you guys. Got to run you guys.

273
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Bron, It's pleasure having you you glemen.

276
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 4: I had no other questions.

Speaker 2: be like, what does that have to do with food?

280
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,360

Speaker 3: Tron? Dude?

283
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 4: Tron aries dude, it should have been Braun Bronn as.

284
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

285
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: It was really fun, classic making great
