Merry Christmas, 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:20.319 Happy whatever you celebrate, Happy holidays. And uh I'm ready. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:24.120 I'm fastive. Wait, I mean I am very festive. I 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:30.800 am very Kreneline under here. Oh that that's some fine 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.600 kremline if I've ever seen Kreneline before. I am very 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:40.040 very festive in the holiday spirit. And ready to go. Well, 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.440 we can't say ready for Christmas because Honkkah was like 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:46.160 real early this year. Yeah, Honah is over right. Honkah 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.280 was like the end of November. Oh well, I hope 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.040 everybody had a great Honkah for those who celebrate it 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.760 by honikah. You know, it's funny when when I lived 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.280 in Jersey, Honkkah was just as as common as Christmas. 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.200 In Virginia, I couldn't find a Jewish person here to 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:06.800 save my life. Well, how do you find a Jewish person? Well, 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.160 I mean do I describe them? I mean I know 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.520 Jewish people. I used to live near temple. You know, 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:18.240 I would know that Jewish people were Jewish, not just 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.680 by the people who didn't have Christmas lights outside their house. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.240 You and know, you knew they were Jewish because they 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.560 were Jewish. Here. I couldn't tell you where there was 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.920 a temple. I couldn't tell you a Jewish person. I don't, 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.880 I couldn't. I don't know money here. I mean Liz 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.680 went to school in Lakewood, I mean with her college 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.480 was in a Jewish neighborhood, So I don't know the vicinities. 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.760 I don't know. My kids think that every house that 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:46.000 doesn't have lights, they think that either Jewish people live 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:50.720 there or like, you know, atheists lived there. I try 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.519 to tell them, not everybody is festive in this world, 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.880 and not everybody decorates. And you know, you don't have 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:01.800 to be an atheist or Jews wish not to celebrate. 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.840 You know, some people just don't get into it. I 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.440 said to the kids on Halloween's they would say, you know, 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.040 should we knock on their door? And they'd have no 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:14.080 lights on I go another Jewish, Oh Jesus for Halloween? 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:22.240 Oh yeah, yay. So what's up? So I was doing 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.000 some research online. I was looking up like Christmas gifts 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.360 and you know, just certain things because there's certain people 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.919 that are last minute on my list that they get 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:36.080 the Amazon you know, two day delivery Prime whatever. And 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:42.040 I am bewildered at what I found that somebody is selling. 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.800 Oh and I'm not I'm not going to mention their 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.200 name because I don't want to promote this girl, but 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.400 I'm just like, what kind of people are out there? 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.760 So it's a girl that was on one of those 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.680 crazy ninety Day Fiance or one of those right, and 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.240 she now has like an OnlyFans page. I'm sure you 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.080 could look her up if you guys are into this. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.760 And I'm not judging, well, I'm judging a little bit. 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.600 I just don't understand. She is selling farts in a 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:17.600 jar for one thousand dollars a jar, and she's made 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:26.880 ninety seven thousand dollars. What ninety seven thousand, ninety seven 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.679 thousand dollars in fart her farts? Who farts ninety seven 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.600 times period? She eats when she's ready, when she makes 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:39.080 a sale, she said. She eats extra gassy foods like 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:44.160 I don't know the protein. I guess beans and yogurt 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.120 and a lot of protein, she said, and to get 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.360 herself really gassy. Then she puts the jar up to 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:57.479 her ask and she farts, And I'm like, okay, you know, 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:03.159 does this set really stay in that jar? You gotta 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.640 you gotta fart in the jar, you gotta pack it, 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.800 you gotta ship it, depending on where it goes in 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.760 the world, Like how potent is how potent is that 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:17.760 far by the time it gets to the recipient A 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:23.560 fart some sick freak so bad? Why didn't I think 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.360 of farting in a jar for a thousand times now? 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.440 That's a damn fine point. And that's really the first 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.760 question everybody should have is why didn't I think of 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:37.520 X before somebody else? Damn it. I came across my 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:43.120 timeline as a gift that would be good for, you know, 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.920 for the holiday season. So uh, you know, guys, if 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:51.560 you're into a farting and uh you like, uh you 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.240 like this lady. She will fart in a jar. And 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.200 I think she's having a half price sale, so now 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.520 you can get it for five. I just found out 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.239 like two weeks ago that girls can fart. Oh really, 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.000 who both on? I've been told you for years. No, 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.159 I just I didn't know that that vile kind of 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.400 smell came out of females. It taught you, where'd you do 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.520 do this? I can't I can't reveal that this said Aney. 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.200 We've been together forever. I can't say that I think 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.960 we were just walking by. What the hell is that 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.920 it happened? Hey, sometimes it just comes out. I was 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.359 friends of the guy, Okay, yeah, no joke told me 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:34.839 that he never saw his girlfriend use a bathroom for like, 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.200 you know, like anything. That he didn't know that was 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:41.680 number one, right? He for years, years and when they 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.480 finally like when they broke up, he was like, well, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.839 I'm glad she can finally like use the bathroom now. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.599 He never used it. He just wasn't aware of it. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.560 He never knew. Listen to this day, I have been 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.919 married thirteen and a half years, with my husband fifteen 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.880 and a half years. I've never farted in front of him. 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.880 What do you run out of the car? But no, 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.920 I don't. I really don't need to a lot of 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.720 the time, I just wait until I go into the 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.040 bathroom if I have to. But I've never like, you know, 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.560 in bed or like watching TV or just walking by. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.800 I've never done it, never ever ever, And you can 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.760 ask him. You can ask him and he will say 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:30.800 the same thing, amplishment, It's amazing. For fifteen years. The 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.480 only time I've ever done it was when I was 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:40.720 giving birth. Okay, an excuse me. That's acetable. You can't 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:45.000 say anything about that. That doesn't count. But for our 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.080 normal life, I've never been like sitting next to me 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.880 and we're no, never have And you can ask them, 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.160 because you do know my husband, you can ask them 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.160 and he will say the same thing. And basically, I 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.480 am a treasure. You can do that now, and you 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.360 can be like that was you, and he'd be like, yeah, 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.720 it was. I didn't even realize that that it didn't 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.080 come out of you because I don't do that. I 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.720 just don't. I don't have I'm not a gassy person, 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.280 and if I do get gassy, I just go to 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:18.520 the bathroom. This is quite the conversation to have before 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.240 I send our guests the link to join us, because 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:26.040 our guest is the epitome of flagelence, So tell us 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.680 a few times he can attest to being gassy. Because 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.760 this man has farted on me more times than I 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.079 can ever count. When he pops on, I am going 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.800 to introduce him as instead of his ring name, I'm 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:45.040 going to introduce him as the epitome of flatulence. If 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.319 he does anything I'm telling you, he won't even realize 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:53.079 that he's oblivious right now. But yeah, he has farted 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:54.920 on me several times. Most of the time it was 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.079 in the ring. I would be trapped in the corner. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.000 I've told these stories so many times, and he'd be 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.440 laughing his hands off as we were supposed to be heels, 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.520 so good times for everyone, right then, Well, he always 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.840 did notoriously laugh you know, he always had a maniacal 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.640 laugh going on, so right, you got to practice that 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.920 in the mirror. Can he just need be a sinility 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:21.160 setting in? What is he meaning you that you didn't 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.160 get the link? Tell him I just send him the link. Yeah, 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:32.160 he knows what to do, so I know he's such 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.480 a turn also knows a lot about that too. Yeah. Yeah, 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.840 but he'll be on. He should be on now, actually, 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:46.360 hime on. Hey boy, well I like your festive attire, 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.600 Thank you very much.

Yes, I'm going to wear this until next week. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.760 I'll sleep in it every day, I'll cook in it, 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.719 cleaning it. This is all I'm wearing for the rest 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.120 of the wa I'm sure there's like maid services out 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.800 there that do that same thing. Gods that are topless. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.920 I think we've talked about that before. I've yet to 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.680 find one. Uh And I just had a giant house cleaning, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.640 so you know, I'm sure Liz would love you hired 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.040 a couple uh topless maids. I wasn't here for it. 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.120 I don't think that. I didn't suggest like that might 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.880 be who we hired. But it was a team of 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.360 people showed up to the house. They all got out 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.240 of the car. I think they just came in and 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.120 cleaned it. I don't know if they stripped prior to 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.040 breaking out their brooms and vacuums, but they did help. 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.079 If they did strip, they would have been standing there 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.840 like this waiting for their tip. Do you like if 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:45.760 you're there watching them, right, do you have to tip 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.440 them as you go along? Oh?

It was myself, Shane and Sandman 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.080 and we went down to Nashville and we did our 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.920 you know, our virtual and I went back and I 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:41.520 just watched it because I you know, I had a 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.160 little time to kill, and I said, let me see 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.439 how big of assholes we were because we were getting 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.400 in trouble. Chad was mad at us first of all, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.920 because we were laughing too hard and having to time. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.520 We were distracting him from the orders. Uh, but we 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.920 love Chad. But anyway, it was so we were so fun. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.360 I'm telling you. It's like I tell people all the time, 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.840 every time you put us together, this is what happens. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.719 We laugh our asses off, right, and you know, just 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.920 just being goofy like we've always been. You know. It's. Uh, 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.280 I try to play the straight guy all the time 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.520 with you, with you guys, so it's it's I'm the least, 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.800 I'm the least twenty of the three of us. But no, 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.120 actually hurt after that, you have your moments. We suck 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:34.440 you in. We do. It's honestly, we do. You know. 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.760 I hope the fans can get like a feel for 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:43.840 the uh, you know, the the the fun that we 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.840 all have together and which was pretty much like that 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.680 back then. Although we were working hard in the ring, uh, 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.760 that really was the atmosphere at the ECW Arena or 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.440 any building that we were at. We had a great time. Yeah, 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.760 the camaraderie is always there, but it's it's genuine. It's 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:03.480 like it's not forced, and it's not something just for 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.280 the cameras. I mean, it's yeah, it's like a it's 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:12.200 it's just a natural not fake at all, Like it 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.040 just comes out of us when we're together. And and 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.280 even like after we were done there, we went back 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.040 to the hotel and the three of us we sat 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.680 there until about one thirty two o'clock in the morning, 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.400 and we were saying, what was different about this compared 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.960 to twenty years ago? Because we said, would you think 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.480 we were gonna be together like twenty years later doing 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.240 this stuff? And we were all like no, And you know, 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.760 we were saying, like, you know, back then, it was 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.160 like somebody was drinking, somebody was snorting coke or doing 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.880 drugs or something crazy. Now the three of us are 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.480 sitting there completely sober, no drugs, no alcohol, talking about 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:54.520 our kids, being parents, school meetings and whatnot, and how 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.240 we've changed. But it was it was still such a 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.960 good time, you know what I mean. Yeah, Well, the 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.960 key uh, the key phrase that you left out there is, uh, 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.160 we're all three still alive, you know. Yeah, yeah, you know, 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.280 sadly know, we try to make humor of it, right 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.200 because I thought you'd have to cry about it, you know, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.720 all the friends that we've lost, you know, and and 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.360 it really did decimate not only the ECW dressing room, 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.240 but I mean, if you look, you know at the 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.640 last twenty years of the business, how many people that 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.440 we've worked with, you know, traveled the roads with, both 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.920 in ECW and outside of ECW. You know, it's I 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.360 guess reaching our uh our are twenty nine years old 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.520 ain't so easy and wrestling, so it's it's it's nice 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.080 that we can sicker room and talk about our kids 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:44.040 and school meetings and and politics and and be sober 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.800 doing it and still be here to do it. Yeah, exactly, 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.800 good point, exactly, Uh, but yeah, it was. It was 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.680 a great weekend. And it just goes to show you 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.040 like we are we not only comedy gold, but we 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:02.280 do still draw. Yeah, and we're all knuckles well yeah, 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.680 well we're entertaining and we're having a good time. But 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.320 I mean, the three of us, like I loved having 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.680 you guys with me, Like the three the dynamic between 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.720 the three of us was just it was awesome. And 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.720 I just feel like it's such a missed opportunity not 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:21.320 to put the guys together. You know, it's I've said 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.399 it a million times, like one of us okay, but 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.879 we're more of there's more value with us all together. 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.320 I think we're it's more beneficial to have us as 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.280 a group. So and it really was always like that, 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.680 you know. E c W was the first promotion that 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.439 I ever worked for the only promotion that I ever 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:45.760 worked for that it wasn't about Shane Douglass or Francine 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.720 or Sam Man or Sam Boo. It was about the 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.600 group of us, put us together and the magic happened. 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.720 And you know that nobody has picked up on that, 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.840 to me is strange. And you know, if everybody talks 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.359 about trying to have the success that the c W 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.879 had and and they missed that finite point. I mean, 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:05.960 it's so simple, it's like the nose on my face 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.440 that you know, the group of us really did get along. 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:13.119 And you know, I can't speak for the today's locker 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:17.479 rooms a e W or uh you know, impact uh 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.359 or WW for that matter. But you know, back in 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.359 the day and the places that I had worked prior 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.800 and after that, I never saw that magic except in 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:31.240 acw Right. Yeah, agreed, you know, and that said, you know, 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.959 just like any family, you know, we'd have our spats. 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:38.080 You know, infamously, Sandman and I used to loathe each other. 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.560 And we we found out very recently that the reason 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.480 we loathed each other back then is because we're so 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.280 damn much like not in personality or or you know, 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.159 just but like in the day to day things like 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.400 We've been sitting in the car and I'd be talking 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.639 about something i'd did with Connor or Kaide and my sons, 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.719 and you know, he turned out, can't shit out of here. 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.119 You got to me and he does the same thing 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.560 with his kids, right, and he says something I think 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.840 rid in me, aren't just this And the whole trip 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.600 was like this it's uh yeah, really, you know, I 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.960 know it sounds like we're you know, saying it like 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.280 the some tagline or something, but there really was some 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.240 kind of bond between us in E. C. W. And 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:21.240 you hate he's the cliche family, but really it was 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.639 like that. You know, we we had our stats, but 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.600 you know, you know, if if sam Man was getting 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.879 attacked by fans as much as we didn't get along 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.240 back then, you and I were out there. If I 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.280 was getting attacked, we were getting attacked. Sam Man was 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.160 out there with everybody else saying that we didn't pick 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.080 and choose that way. So you know, you say you 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.440 can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family. Yeah, 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.400 well we got a chance to pick it in Yeah, exactly. 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:47.720 And and it just proves a point how close we 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.879 still are today, all of us. And and I just 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:54.359 feel like I wish promoters would just capitalize on that 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:58.879 more and and get us together more, because do you 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.880 get this all the time somebody will say that, they'll 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.239 bring your name up to me and they'll say, uh, 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.840 so do you keep in touch of Frand I'm like, well, yeah, 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:10.400 we text about fifty sixty times a week or whatever. 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.720 And they're shot by that you know they're and I'm like, both, yeah, 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.000 I mean, like you know they you guys have become 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:21.240 like my closest friends since ECW and uh. And honestly, 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.080 I wouldn't have had it any other way. Stupidly at 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:25.879 the time, and I don't know if anybody else was. 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:31.399 I was so busy focusing on the product, you know, 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.720 on the character and a characterization and the gimmick with 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.520 you and me that I didn't enjoy it to the 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:38.639 Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I didn't 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.280 enjoy it to the level I should have because I 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:44.760 was so afraid, like one bad show could could do 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.560 us in. And you know, it's like I was probably 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.920 a bit anal back then, a bit, but you know, 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.160 you know where he's right though, He's one hundred percent 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.960 right because I could talk to guys who were in WWE, 0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.200 and they'll say, hey, have you ever heard from so 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:00.920 and so? Because I I haven't talked to him in 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.240 fifteen years or I haven't seen this guy in ten years. 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:05.680 With you guys, you go to one show, it's like, 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:09.440 you know, it's this bond, it's this like camaraderie, it's 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.920 everything that Shange's saying, and you don't see that anywhere else. 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.639 When you see a collection of people that work together, 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:18.840 it's the weirdest thing. But you're right, Well, you know 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.680 when you think of this business, you know we're putting 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.320 our bodies in each other's hands, you know. So if 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.760 I'm going to trust you to superplex me or power 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.280 bomb fraining through a table, I don't know I can 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.440 trust you. And you know you can tell me a 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:35.240 million times that I can trust you, but that you 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:38.159 know that that trust forges out of those relationships with 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:40.640 us cutting up in the back, cutting up at the hotel, 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.639 traveling the roads up and down together, And why that 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.000 bond doesn't exist other places is a mystery to me 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:50.399 because it really makes work. Honestly, every time I had 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.000 to go to work at ECW, it was like going 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:56.680 to playtime, Like I had a blast be as anal 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.520 as I was, uh you know, he look forward to it. 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:01.960 Never ever felt like you were punching a time clock 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:05.680 as many of the promotions did. Right, Yeah, agreed, And 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.040 like today, like if I get a flight that's at 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:09.920 six am, I'll bitch and moon. But if it was 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:11.920 at six am twenty years ago, I couldn't wait to 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.000 get on that plane. I'd be on a free being like, 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.119 oh yeah, let's go, because I was so excited for 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:20.520 the weekend. You know. Sure, yeah, but anytime, like you know, 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.080 with me now, I've said this so many times here, 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:25.119 I pick and choose what I want to do, but 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.040 if one of you guys are on the show, I'm 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:31.040 taking the booking every time one hundred percent because I know. 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:34.280 Number one, I know that I'm protected because you know, 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:36.600 like you said, we are family and we look after 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.520 each other. But number two, I know I'm gonna have 0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:41.280 a good time. You know, even if it's a shitty show, 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.320 I'll still maybe go because you guys are there, so 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:47.600 you know. So that's why I look forward to next 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.480 year because there's already a couple of things you and 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:53.800 I are together on and I'm excited about it. So yeah, 0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:56.200 well yeah, and you know it was not to be, 0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:59.600 you know, random motors that are listening out there, you know, 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:03.439 the when you put us together, like you said earlier, 0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:06.200 you know, like trans scene by ourselves is gonna drawing attraction. 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.959 Shane Douglas, Sam Man, any of the guys, But uh, 0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:12.359 when you put us together, there again. There's just some 0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:15.800 kind of magic that formulates the last place that that uh, 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:20.399 the Tracy Smothers show that we were before. Yuh, like 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.480 the early signing. You know when you saw the people 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:27.320 walk by the by the table, it's just look and 0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:30.440 I've gotten used to seeing. They'll walk by the table, 0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:32.720 They'll look and they'll they'll take two or three more steps. 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:35.560
