WEBVTT - Bruce Prichard Meets World 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:25.520 So it has been detaiale of two technologies for me 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.639 the last few days. As our dear listeners can see 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.280 if they use this clip or here, I sound a 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.280 little different because I am at Danielle's house this morning 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:41.839 because my internet has been out for three days. It 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.879 comes on, gives me just the inkling of technology, and 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.800 then leaves again. And no matter what they do, they 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.120 can't seem to fix it. They're rewiring everything. So here 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.400 I am. And yet this weekend I was in San 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.720 Francisco to see my stepdaughter and my son in law, 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.000 and I took my first ever way mo. 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.280 No oh, automatic driving car? 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.920 Is the auto driving cars? How was it? 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.160 It's trippy, so it took like a It was like 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:14.640 a fifteen minute drive. 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.280 This wasn't like down the block. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.840 And this car shows up with all these lights on 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:22.080 it doing all this stuff, and my stepdaughter, who hasn't 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.880 account her initials, flash on the top of the car 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.600 and then she uses her phone to unlock the car 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.120 and she's like, you sit in front. I want you 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.760 to experience this. It's like, great, I'll be the air bag. 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.080 So they put me in the front of the car. 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:36.800 I have video of this. 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:37.960 They put me in the front of the car. 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.200 The car then sinks to her phone, so her playlist 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.759 of songs comes up. And then they welcome you, and 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.160 you have to snap your seatbelts and you press a 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:52.000 button and the wizard that is driving the car, because 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.640 I'm assuming that's what it is, takes over. And it 0:01:55.760 --> 0:02:00.120 is the trippiest feeling in the world. You're driving through 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.280 the streets of San Francisco, you know, the big, hugely 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:08.800 elevated streets and the big and this again, evil wizard 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.920 next to you is the steering wheel is spinning. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.040 It's stopping for pedestrians. It is so strange. 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:16.959 Were you nervous the whole time? 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:18.359 Like really the whole time? 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.120 Like so they have done this all the time. They 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:22.600 haven an account. They they're like, oh, we don't use 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.280 uber anymore. This is all we use, so they're used 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.960 to it. But it was so trippy to be sitting 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.959 there and you're seeing people like crossing the street in 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.320 front of you, and and my son in law, who's 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.040 very tech savvy's all right, look at the screen. 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.000 It's mapped out, it's it sees everything. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.600 So as you're driving up the street, all the cars 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.120 that are in the parking lots are registered on the 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.440 screen and pedestrians and it's point has arrows pointing like 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.600 there's a pedestrian here, there's a pedestrian in there, And 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.360 apparently it is in the next two or three months 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:54.000 coming to LA. 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.480 Yeah, they're doing a pilot program right now in LA. 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.880 But no freeway, I guess, because that would be I 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.440 couldn't even imagine driving on the LA Freeway. 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.920 And I mean, go, isn't that weird? 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.359 I think I would feel safer on the freeway, you think, 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.880 like in the Yeah, the freeway is remember the movie 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.240 Minority Report. Yeah, where the cars are just kind of 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.400 like cruising and they like stop and you get in. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.840 That makes sense to me because it's almost like I 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:18.800 can imagine it like a train, like just stay in 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.320 your lane and it'll eliminate traffic because cars will actually 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.760 keep the safe distance in the right distance. So there 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.480 would be way less traffic in LA. With automatic driving 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.079 on freeways. I get more scared by just yeah, the 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.799 dog that runs in front of you or coyote in LA, 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.119 which happens all the time, Like you know, I would 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.480 be so terrified of that. And yeah, if I was 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.520 in the front seat of a car moving under thirty 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.680 miles prior. I feel like I would just be constantly 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.200 second guessing it, looking around it. Well, that's what you're doing. 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.560 And Lexo Lexi told us a story where she's like, 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.720 the third one she was ever in got hit by 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:51.200 a bus. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.360 Oh so while she was in driver Yes, she's in 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:55.560 this car. She's in the car. 0:03:55.600 --> 0:04:00.560 Can you need a driverless bus? That's the problem. They 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.360 just putting human because it was their own thoughts and emotions. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.000 It was the bus's fault. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.800 So the bus turned and hit It wasn't bad, but 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:08.920 it like it hit into the thing. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.640 And then a voice comes on like, okay, you've been 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.320 in an accident. Are you okay? Do you know we're 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:14.160 sending somebody out. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.360 She's like minutes later a guy pulled up in a 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.040 car and was like, we're so sorry you were in 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.440 an accident and you don't have to stay here. 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.520 We've called you another one. Another one shows up takes 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.080 her on her. But that was the thing. It's like 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:25.239 a robot. 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.000 I mean, where's the insurance robot? 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.800 Taking out back and being shot Yes, And. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.400 It's like, I'm We're gonna this robot. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.360 What do I do? She goes, if I'm in an accident, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.599 I stay at the accident. That's what I do. She's like, 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:39.400 well do I stay? 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:40.200 Do I do? 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.000 I have to, you know, give witness information. And the 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.800 company just shows up like, no, God, we got it. 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:45.160 Take care. 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.279 They called her two or three times the next week, 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:48.920 like we're just checking to see that you're okay. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.200 And but I mean it was so yeah. She was 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:52.960 also in a Waimo accident. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.279 You know what I can't stand is like my wife 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.240 we got her a car maybe three or four years 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.840 ago and had all the automatic It had all the 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.520 automatic censoring without doing anything about or it would automatically 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.680 break for you. But then it would also just beep 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.880 it me constantly and like I had to turn everything off. 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.120 I was like, I'm it didn't bother my wife. She 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:14.680 was like, yeah, yeah, that's good to know. It helps 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.960 me park. I'm like, no, it stresses me out. I'm 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.960 sitting here trying to park and it's like, baby, I 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.400 know that's. 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:26.640 The worst when you're driving and all of a sudden, God, yeah, I'd. 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:30.200 Rather it be fully automatic or nothing at all. You know, 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.160 I don't want to just like in between, but I 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.640 don't know about the fully automatic I still haven't experienced it. 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.400 And I I want to do it. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.080 It was crazy. I'll show you the video the. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.599 Pilot program in LA can you Can you arrange for 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.000 rides or no? 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.839 You had to have signed up for it ahead of time. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:44.279 I don't know. 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:45.880 Maybe you can join it now, but I think for 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.400 the next couple of months you just have to have 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.920 been like one of the beta testers or whatever that 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.360 that agreed to do it months ago. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:55.160 Can I ask who would name a company that drives 0:05:55.240 --> 0:06:01.720 vehicles so close to whammos lamb was welcome. 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.040 To smash Box. That was the other thing. 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.440 When you when you watch the video, you see me 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.880 commenting because it was raining the night that we're in 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.200 our way mow and the wind show wipers are on, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:13.560 and I'm. 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:14.120 Like, who is these? 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:14.800 Who is this four? 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:15.760 Right? 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:16.919 There's nobody driving. 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.960 You just put a scream. You can watch a movie. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:21.599 You don't need to even look out. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.520 It's like, why are their wind show wipers? 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.080 What? What is the point of this? It's like a 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:29.600 helmet when you're skydiving. It's you don't need it. So 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:31.719 very strange, But I thought you would enjoy the Tale 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:32.640 of two technologies. 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:33.040 I can't. 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:34.400 So are you are you? 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:35.400 Are you? 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:35.479 No? 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:36.160 I do it again. 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:37.800 You're sold, You're ready. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.720 I don't know if I'm sold, but it was. It's 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:40.200 a it's a. 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.200 Unique kind of crazy experience. I'm glad I experienced it. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:46.800 I would do it again again. It was a fishing 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.640 It showed up on time, it dropped us off, we 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:49.480 didn't hit a bus. 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:50.320 It was all good. 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.960 There's so many weird ramification, right. I mean, there's the 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:59.160 jobs factor, right, like people just losing jobs. Okay, that sucks. 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.360 But then yeah, just the automation and like getting used 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:02.640 to it. 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.000 And I will also say that as a woman, there 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.120 is a nice feeling of knowing that I could be 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.480 in a car without another human being because there is 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.800 always a risk factor getting into a car with a stranger, 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.240 that there is a there is like a safety element 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.680 that would make me, you know, on the one hand, crash, Oh, 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.600 I may get into it. I make it into a 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.000 terrible accident because there's no human driving. On the other hand, 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.040 I don't have to worry about being assaulted. 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.760 So life is a trade off. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:33.800 Exactly. 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.160 Welcome to pod meets World.

Obviously we had a crew with us, 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.640 but it was bare bones on location, so we relied 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.800 heavily on the WWF team to one have it all 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.560 come together and two make sure our cast wasn't killed 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.439 by fans angry that their main event was being hijacked 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:43.000 by some TGIF weirdos. And the man to thank for 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.800 producing the segment on the wrestling side of things is 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.720 also the guy who not only introduced the wrestlers on 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.800 their way to the ring for the episode, but he 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.760 was also the announcer you heard throughout the match. 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.160 And that man is Bruce. 0:09:56.000 --> 0:10:00.240 Pritchard aka Brother Love. In the eighties and nineties, he 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.679 was seen on WWF programming as a red faced, white 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.760 suit megachurch preacher who claimed he was in the Federation 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.000 to spread love, but in reality was a money hungry 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.560 con man or a heel, the term used for bad 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.920 guy in the industry. He hosted interview segments, worked as 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:21.400 a commentator, and even managed wrestlers, most notably as the 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.880 first mouthpiece for the Undertaker, but it was his behind 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.280 the scenes skills that would turn him into an icon 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.280 in the business. As a producer, he's been in and 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.880 out of but mostly in the WWE now as a 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.800 head honcho senior vice president executive director for the company's 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.480 two flagship shows, Raw and SmackDown, right in the middle 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.760 of one of the company's most successful periods. Ever, if 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.240 it happened in wrestling, he most likely had a hand 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.520 in it, and since twenty sixteen, he's also had his 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.320 own podcast, Something to Wrestle with Bruce Pritchard, where he 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.559 gives listeners the real scoop on some of sports entertainment's 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.000 biggest events and what's bigger than the night we all 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:05.280 ended up in his ring. I'm gonna guess nothing. So 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.120 now let's welcome one. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.920 Of our most requested guests by fans. It's the man. 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:16.680 Who loves you, WWE s Bruce Pritchard. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:22.959 Hey, where's genius? 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:25.880 Genius? 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:27.480 Hey, we're finally here. 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.840 You made it, and let me tell you, we are 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.760 so thankful that you are here with us. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.840 When we recently rewatched. 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.480 The wrestling episode, we immediately realized there was someone on 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.040 the WWF at that time side of things who had 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:47.360 a very hard job that night, and we were able 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.600 to figure out that it was you. That night of 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.960 us being there could not have been fun for you. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:54.640 You were pulling triple duty. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.200 Yeah, and dealing with dealing with my own set of 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:03.360 temperamental over here on this side exactly. 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.520 That's actually the thing I want to know most is 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.439 like we heard from writer and from Ethan that it 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.160 was chaos for them, but we've never heard your side 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:13.640 of things. 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.920 What was that night like for you? 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.760 Well, we're, first of all, we're in Anaheim and we're 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:24.880 trying to present a live event for Anaheim, and it's 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.880 a live event. Is a different feel than when we 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.600 go out and we produce television, because when we produce television, 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.480 I think the talent are accustomed to a bit of 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.920 waiting around and having to do things two and three times. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.640 We operate a lot differently than Hollywood does. Hollywood has 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.319 the luxury of you know, cut, Okay, let's get back 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.080 in their place and let's try it again. We don't 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.760 have that luxury in front of a live, paining audience 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.240 that wants to be entertained. And I think that that 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.720 was part of the frustration the event in and of it. 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.800 So he was a little bit longer that night because 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.240 we had to fit in the Jake, the Snake, Roberts 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.439 and Vader match. Yeah, and then what should have been 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.880 a ten minute match, I think we ended up going 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:17.120 almost thirty five to forty minutes. Oh no, Jesus, well, yeah, 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:21.080 Corey and he had them all down ringside. You're trying 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:25.200 to get this scene, this heartfelt scene of you know, dad, 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:29.880 do you love me? And I'm trying I'm sitting at 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:40.040 ringside in a white suit, face painted red. Right, Yeah, 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:44.520 so it was I'm trying to direct them there. I'm 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.320 trying to fund Jake down to say, hey man, it's okay, 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:51.120 you stay there and do your thing. Vader's doing his 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.800 say at here for Boy Meets World, and to make 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.680 it logical for the audience, you had to do certain 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.560 things to get Vader in that position. Didn't protect Jake 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:07.520 right then on on top of that talent backstage that were, 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:14.040 oh hey, Bruce, are you done Bruce in your movie? 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.760 So Bruce, I was there. I was one of the actors. 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.000 I played Sean, So I was in the ring. I'm 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.680 curious because my memory is just you know, it's chaos 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:27.000 and misery. But how big was the audience? Because it 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.560 felt bigger than any crowd I have ever been in 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.320 front of. How big would the audience have been? Because 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.920 we're at the Mighty Ducks Arena, right is that where? Yeah? 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:35.720 So how big of an audience would that have been? 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.360 You know that night we were probably in the nine 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:39.360 ten thousand range. 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:40.360 Wow? 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.200 So yeah. 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.360 See on Boy met we were used to performing in 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.160 front of about one hundred people. Two hundred people were 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.880 there to watch us make mistakes and do it five times? 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.880 So yeah, that was it was overwhelming. 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:54.800 God. Yeah. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:15:00.320 We actually recently heard how annoyed Jake Roberts was the 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.320 whole experience. He said he basically had to repeat moves 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.160 and it was just a produced match in a way 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.560 that's pretty taboo, as you mentioned, in front of a 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.880 live audience, and then you also had to call the 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.800 match live on the fly. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:14.920 Is that correct? 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:19.000 Yes? And I will say this, I've done a lot 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:23.200 of things in the business, and of the things that 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.480 I've done, I am probably the worst played by play 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:34.640 commentator on the face of God's great Earth. So yeah, 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.480 it was, hey, can you do play by play? I 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.320 said no? I said, what'd you do? Play by play? 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.600 I'm like, okay, it sounds like I don't have a choice. 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.640 Sure, and you know, and again you're you're trying to 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.920 do play by play, not knowing what's going to make it, 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:53.000 trying to give them sound bites that they can use anywhere. 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.480 And in the midst of it, Jake's looking yeah, Jake 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.680 was pissed. Jake's looking at me in the ring like, 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.280 what are we doing here? You know, wrap this up, 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.400 let's go man, I'm done. This is done by now. 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:13.520 And we would have, but it's a different animal. It's 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:18.400 a complete different animal. You guys are hitting your marks. 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.600 You guys have lines that you've got to get through 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.640 and that you've got to nail, and that affects everything 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:29.160 you do. We can improvise, we can okay, Hey, they're 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.320 not buying this, Let's go here. And I can only 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:39.880 imagine being in that environment where you are used to 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:45.000 the luxury of man. I've studied, I've got my part down, 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.840 I know my lines, I know my reactions here, I 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.600 know this, I know that, and I dare say, I 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.000 don't think you guys had the feedback even on the fly, 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.480 correct if. I'm well, no, that was a good taker. 0:16:58.560 --> 0:16:59.960 Now that was a bad take. I think it was. 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.120 Let's get another one. Yeah. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.560 No, we did a full take of all the things 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.480 that we had to get in the ring, and then 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.840 Ben and I ran backstage, and then our ad told 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.639 us to go back out there and we had to 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:17.120 do it all over again, which, of course, the poor audience, 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.240 the poor wrestlers, that just ruins the show for them 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.040 as far as you know, and we had to hit 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.920 all the same beats. But yeah, I can't imagine also 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:30.080 just you know, not only the chaos of the audience, 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.800 but also not knowing who was in charge because we 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.840 had our director, poor Jeff McCracken. You're producing your side 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.240 of the show. You have the wrestlers who are used to, 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.119 as far as I understand it, you know, doing the 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.600 show themselves like they're the ones in charge and they 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.119 can kind of roll with However, things are going. So 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.080 I feel like all of us were sort of looking 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.359 at one another being like, who's in charge? What's happening here? 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.200 And I still don't know to this day. 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.840 Yeah, I would like to know. Do we have Mark 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.800 Blutman to blame for this? To blame Mark? 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:02.640 Yeah, he's easy to blame Mark. 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.600 Yeah, it's easy to blame Mark and probably the right 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:07.840 thing to do most of the time, right, just blame Mark. 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:08.480 He's not here. 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.679 So yeah, I think that's a standard for everything, whatever 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.840 happens in your life, if the something goes awry, I 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:17.159 like that. 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.200 I have a question when it comes to so creating 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.359 the stories. In the world of wrestling, something happens in 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.280 the ring, it becomes canon, right, I mean, it's this 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.879 is something that is part of the wrestling world. So 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.200 when a live audience sees Vader come out and now 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.280 he has a son, is. 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.439 That now part of the wrestling world? Is Vader? 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:44.199 Is is Ethan's character now officially Vader's son in the 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:45.040 world of wrestling? 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.800 No, And I think that I think that you got 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:54.879 you know, I think you underestimate the popularity of the 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.399 show Boy Meets World because I think that that show 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:02.000 in and of itself will so strong, especially at the 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:06.080 time that people understood. People knew who you guys were, 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.600 and they knew, okay, they had seen and I think 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:15.720 Leon had done one or two, so they knew that 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.040 Leon was playing a party, gotcha, and it was you know, 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.959 it was cool to have him a part of our 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.080 world while he was a part of the Boy Meets 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.240 World world. But they knew that he was playing a 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:32.840 part at that point. And again, Boy Meets World was, 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.000 you know, very popular at the time to the point 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.119 that there didn't need to be a whole lot of explanation. 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:40.440 They knew. 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:41.600 Okay. 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.520 That helped, you know, it definitely helps in the audience's 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:48.280 familiar it's like, oh my god, oh my god. 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:48.760 There's pang. 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:54.160 Well, we may be underestimating how popular Boy Meets World 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.399 was at the time, but we are definitely not underestimating 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.199 how much the fans actually wanted to keep Hill writer. 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:05.359
