1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming back. Part two is underway.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: With all these matches, you know, you have ladder matches,

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: table chairs, all that. I mean, I understand it's there's

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: a certain choreograph choreography to it, but still that stuff

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: hurt very much.

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: Charlotte Flair.

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: We had Charlotte Flaiir on earlier in September and she

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: was talking about that she tore in ACL and she's

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 2: still finished. She had to wrestle another thirty forty five minutes.

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's probably an exaggeration on her behalf.

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: She did.

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 3: She did tear an ACL and have to finish her match.

13
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you when you hurt something, or you

14
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: you tearing that ductor or you pull a hamstring or

15
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: something like that in the match of schedule, you know,

16
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: one fall for a fifteen minute time living.

17
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: You know, it used to say that.

18
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how much the time limits are now,

19
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 2: but in a situation like that, when you know something

20
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: is going on and you have to finish the match,

21
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: that's got to be difficult.

22
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Though.

23
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's one of those things where, gosh,

24
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: you know, I'm trying to kind of like li liken

25
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 4: it to a football injury.

26
00:00:59,040 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: But you know there's play.

27
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: Now you get injured, you coming out the field, yeah, yeah,

28
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: you think it quarter, third quarter, yeah, come out of yeah,

29
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: you get there's a play and you're gone.

30
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's done. It stops.

31
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 4: That's the thing is with us when we get hurt,

32
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 4: Like there's like a self evaluation process that happens. And

33
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 4: because like you know, I mean, the NFL plays what

34
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: seven seconds.

35
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: Or something like that, boom, you know, you leave me.

36
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, that's it.

37
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: Now I'm evaluating. I'm gonna go to the sideline and evaluate.

38
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: But we have to evaluate kind of in real time,

39
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: like we have to. It's not a sprint like that.

40
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 4: It's a bit longer. So like if something happens, you know.

41
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: My shoulder is a great example of that. So I'm

42
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: wrestling Cody Roads in the main event of a pay

43
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 4: per view in Perth, Australia October. I do this move

44
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: that I've never really done where I dive from one

45
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 4: side of the court ring to the other and give

46
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: Cody a head butt and I land funky. So I

47
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 4: land like on my elbow kind of off to the side,

48
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: pushes my shoulder up and it hurt. But I didn't

49
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 4: know how bad it was hurt in the moment, so

50
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 4: I hit him, I cover, he kicks out. I'm laying

51
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: there and then I just run myself check while the

52
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: audience is, you know, kind of they're going through the

53
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 4: replays and everything. We're moving on to the next thing.

54
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: But you got to give the audience tim to digest.

55
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: So you're just sitting there in the process, and I go, Okay,

56
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 4: I hurt my shoulder. How bad did I hurt my shoulder?

57
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 4: Is there anything left in the match that I can't

58
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: do or that it's going to be dangerous for me

59
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 4: or dangerous for my opponent, or that I'm going to

60
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: make look bad? Like do I cut stuff out? And

61
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 4: we just go let's get to the end of the match.

62
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 4: What's the process here? And when it's like a kind

63
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 4: of a ligament type injury like that, again, I didn't

64
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: know what was wrong with it. I was like, Okay,

65
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 4: here's the things I can do. I've probably got about

66
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 4: ten to fifteen more minutes of this match. I'll get

67
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 4: through it and then we'll figure out what happens. I'm

68
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: not really going to know till I get a scan,

69
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: and I'm not putting Cody in any danger.

70
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: So I think I can get this done.

71
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Now.

72
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: There's some times where it's like you'll get a concussion

73
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 4: or you'll see somebody get a concussion. Unfortunately, not in

74
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 4: this position. You get a concussion, the ref sees that happen.

75
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: And that's it. It's done. Like they just called match off.

76
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 4: Young fella named Javon Evans just had this happen to him,

77
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 4: like maybe two weeks ago on Monday night, raw I

78
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 4: butted heads with his opponent. You know, he got concussed.

79
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 4: There was a little bit of like, hey, hey, what's

80
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 4: going on. They kind of let him walk through a

81
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 4: little bit of the rest of the match while he

82
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: was out there, and then it became apparent that he wasn't.

83
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he wasn't himself.

84
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: So they just that's it, winner by ref stoppage and

85
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 4: that's it. And so it's just communication. Communicate to your referee,

86
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 4: communicate to your opponent. You just try to figure out

87
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: what the best course of action is. And again, when

88
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: it's something like that, like a concussion, where you can't

89
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: self diagnose really because you're rock somebody.

90
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: We have people in the doctors.

91
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have everybody watching to make sure no, no, no,

92
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: get him out of there. When it's something like that

93
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: where you can't my shoulder or like Charlotte's knee, I

94
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 4: or mine as well, when you can't really see what's happening,

95
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: you just have to rely on the talent to try

96
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: to figure out what's best for the situation.

97
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: In a situation where like you broke Johnsen a nodes

98
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: or something, you guys are wrestling and it's an accident,

99
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: but you know, things happen. Yeah, who is that said?

100
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: I think they said it's called keeping receipts when you

101
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: do something, will you will you do when you do

102
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: something to somebody that goes a little other than it

103
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: should have been.

104
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a receipts, But receipts are generally

105
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 4: for when things might be a little on purpose.

106
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: That John thing was a complete accent.

107
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 4: Okay if if I mean, look, John's got ham hands.

108
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: He's punched so many people on the side of the head.

109
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 4: Like it's you know, he understands sometimes things happen. You know,

110
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 4: they we say it's not ballet, you know, no discredit

111
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 4: to ballet. Ballet is hard, but yeah, it's not ballet,

112
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 4: Like it's the physical interaction, so things happen, and no,

113
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: for the most part, there's not a lot of bad blood.

114
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 4: But occasionally someone will get a stray shot in there

115
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 4: where you're.

116
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: Like, what was what was that all that intentional? Or yeah,

117
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: I think it was intentional. I'm gonna pay you.

118
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

119
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you I mean, I'm sure on the field

120
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: you have those too, Yeah, because there's you know, it's

121
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: again physical sport, and there's rules and there's like, you know,

122
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: competitive edge, and you guys are I mean, how many

123
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 4: dbs or linebackers did you get into where you're like,

124
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 4: okay that I ain't I ain't cool.

125
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know when there's a good clean tackle,

126
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: you cheap shot of me exactly turned. I'mnna get your

127
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: ads back and forth of the play, and I will

128
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: make it look like an actual play.

129
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: But I guess what, I know, I'm gonna get mine.

130
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: I will get I will get my leak back.

131
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

132
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, But you have a great relationship with John, I do,

133
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: and and John is finishing up, He's done forty eight.

134
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: You want to wrestle that long?

135
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? Maybe?

136
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm forty in a couple of months,

137
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 4: and I feel great.

138
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: I mean what I.

139
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: Would consider the prime of my career, where like the

140
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: physical hasn't declined and the mental is as sharp as

141
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 4: it's you know, ever been right, And so I would

142
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: as long as I can continue to contribute in a

143
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: way that's positive for our fan base and for our

144
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 4: younger talent, as long as I can continue to be

145
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: like make the product better, then I think I would

146
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: like to contribute, and my body cooperates, I would like

147
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: to continue to do it.

148
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: Who's your Mount Rushmore WWE Wrestlers Mount Rushmore?

149
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 4: Oh man, that's so hard because you get into this

150
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: trap of like in ring talent guys who were just

151
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: great wrestlers, and then you get into you know, money, right,

152
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 4: who drew the most money? So, like, if you want to.

153
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: Talk like all time draws, you got to start with Hogan.

154
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 4: You probably got to put Sam Martino on there, Stone Cold,

155
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 4: Steve Austin, and likely the Rock.

156
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: That's probably your top four if.

157
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: You want to go like in Ring all Time, you're

158
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 4: looking at Sean Michaels, You're looking at Eddie Guerrero, You're

159
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: looking at.

160
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: Maybe Man.

161
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 4: After that, it gets real hard because you know, my

162
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: kid was really good but he was kind of a jerk.

163
00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 3: Bert Heart was really great.

164
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: Flair said, Flair definitely had heart and and and Sean

165
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: Michael didn't stop.

166
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: And you could put Rick in there as well.

167
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: Ricky Nobody could talk like Blair.

168
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 4: No, no, no, Flair was Dusty was a special. Oh yeah,

169
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 4: but Dusty's entering work wasn't like, you know, he wasn't

170
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: blown anybody out of the water. You know, Brian Danielson

171
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: would be up there. I think, you know, I'd like

172
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: to be in the conversation at some point.

173
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: I think.

174
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 4: Aj Styles, who also just recently retired, as someone who's

175
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: one of the greatest of all time in the rings.

176
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: So it's a fun discussion, but it's hard to narrow

177
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: it down.

178
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: You call that the Rock you want, you want right

179
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: to come back one of the last time and you get,

180
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: you get your shot at Rock.

181
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: You know, maybe, man, I don't know, I don't know.

182
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: I had such a fun time wrestling DJ WrestleMania a

183
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: couple of years ago in the tag match.

184
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: A singles match would be a lot of.

185
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: Fun with him, if he'd be willing to do it.

186
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, the tag match was a blast, and it

187
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: was really cool to be out there in the main

188
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 4: event of WrestleMania with the Rock.

189
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's a that's a beyond bucket list.

190
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: You know you mentioned staying earlier, Like, there's some guys

191
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: that when I was growing up watching, you just don't

192
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 4: think you're ever going to get the opportunity to be

193
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: in the ring with them. You think they're going to

194
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: be retired by the time you're there. Stings one of them.

195
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 4: You know, I got to do promos with Jake the

196
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: Snake and Roddy Piper got to, you know, be in

197
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 4: the main event a Wrestlemana with the Rock. I mean,

198
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: that's this is bunker stuff, you know.

199
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: So you Roddy Piper, you grew up watching and Sting

200
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: and all those guys you grew up.

201
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 4: Watching in crazy Dude, it's crazy that I get the

202
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: opportunity to be in the ring with these guys, whether

203
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: it's a promo or match learn from Dusty Rhodes, you know,

204
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 4: any anything like that. It's really for me as a

205
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 4: kid growing up in Iowa, like to be able to

206
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 4: live those dreams and meet your heroes in those ways.

207
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 3: Like it's really something.

208
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: Special you and see him pump y'all made up.

209
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't say so.

210
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: You wouldn't say so.

211
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say so.

212
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 4: I mean, there's obviously some sort of working relationship. Otherwise,

213
00:08:58,800 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 4: you know, we wouldn't be able to go out there

214
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: and have matches. But there's just so much, it's so complex.

215
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 4: I think maybe once we're both away from the business

216
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: or retired or hung it up, there might be an

217
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 4: opportunity for reconciliation there. It's just so hard for me

218
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 4: to separate the s and Punk that there is now

219
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 4: from the sea and Punk that.

220
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 3: Was a really rotten friend to me ten years.

221
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 4: Ago, and so it's it's just those those wounds take

222
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 4: time to heal. I think whether or not he cares

223
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 4: to make the effort to do that, and I care

224
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 4: to care if he makes the effort to do that,

225
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know if we either of

226
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: us have the time for it at the moment.

227
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: Did the company pull you and say, look, God, I

228
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: understand there's some things going on between you two, but

229
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: we run a business here. Y'all figure that issh out

230
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: and keep it and keep it moving.

231
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: No, there was never a time where the two of

232
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 4: us were sat down and had a conversation like that.

233
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: There there were conversations had before he came back about

234
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 4: whether or not it's something that I could be okay with,

235
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 4: And you know, he's back. So I always feel like,

236
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 4: if there's business to be done that's bigger than me,

237
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 4: that's bigger than my grievances. So you know, at the

238
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: end of the day, it's not my sandbox. I don't

239
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: make those decisions. I think ww would be just fine

240
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: without seeing Punk, But I do think there's a large

241
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: portion of our fan base that is very happy that

242
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: he is back.

243
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: So, you so this happened before. This doesn't have anything

244
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: to do with wrestling. This had to do with something

245
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 2: outside of the ring.

246
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: I mean, we know each other through wrestling, so would

247
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: he he's with WWE, and he was I knew him

248
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: before that. I knew him when I first started wrestling

249
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 4: because he's from Chicago, so I would go watch him

250
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 4: on independent shows. I wanted to be trained by him

251
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 4: when he ran a school back in two thousand and four.

252
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 4: Didn't have the money to do it because it was

253
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: out in Philadelphia and I couldn't move out there, didn't

254
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 4: have any cash, so you know, but I stayed in touch.

255
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 4: I go watch him on shows. I was a fan

256
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 4: of his. He knew my upbringing, he saw you know

257
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 4: that we were kind of cut from the same cloth.

258
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 4: And he was somewhat of a mentor to me when

259
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 4: we got to WWE, and he also vouched for myself

260
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: and John Moxley to be brought up from developmental to

261
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 4: the main roster.

262
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: So everything was good.

263
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 4: He let me sleep on his couch, he let me

264
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 4: ride his bus occasionally from time to time.

265
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: He's a really good guy.

266
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: And I know I would have done anything for him.

267
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 4: And then he leaves the company and basically just completely ghosted,

268
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 4: like just stop being a friend, like just and I

269
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 4: reached out to him multiple times to try to talk

270
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 4: to him, and there was never any animosity between us.

271
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 4: There was never like a falling out between the two

272
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 4: of us. He just didn't like the fact that I

273
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 4: stayed working for the company.

274
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: And well, you helo, just because you leave, you think

275
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: hold on, I got I want to eat. I like

276
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: my living style now, and so because you had a

277
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: falling out, I'm supposed to have a falling out time.

278
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: I wasn't the only person that he felt this way about.

279
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 4: He lost a lot of friendships over this, and he

280
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 4: got over He did this on his own and and

281
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 4: I think, you know, that would have been one thing,

282
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: But then in the back end of that, he spent many, many,

283
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 4: many years taking kind of pot shots at what we

284
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 4: were doing, what we were trying to do in WWE

285
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 4: without him, and he look, when he left, he left

286
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 4: a pretty significant void. He was he was at the top,

287
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 4: he was a top star, and we were trying to

288
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 4: rebuild and we didn't have a lot to work with.

289
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: We were trying to make the thing great, and he

290
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 4: took a lot of, you know, shots on podcasts and

291
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: interviews at me and at people who were trying to

292
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 4: do good things for the industry that he supposedly loved.

293
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 4: And at that point, ww was my home. And so

294
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: when you're starting to talk bad about my home and

295
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 4: the people that I love and the people I take

296
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 4: that personally, you know, how am I not? And because

297
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: we were friends and you didn't want to talk to

298
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: me about anything when you left, how am I supposed

299
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 4: to not take that personally?

300
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: You know?

301
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: So, yeah, it was hard for me. And I did

302
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: write you off and I did say, you know, f

303
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 4: you like, I ain't got time for that. Man, I

304
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 4: ain't got time for people like you. You know, that

305
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: negative energy trying to tear down everything we're trying to

306
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 4: build here. I ain't got time for that. And so

307
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: it really really bothered me when he came back, because

308
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: I go, dude, you were gone. We did this, We

309
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 4: did this without you, not only without you, but in

310
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 4: spite of you. We did this in spite of you.

311
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 4: But you tried to make this not happen, and now

312
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: you want to come back and want to be a.

313
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: Part of it. Did you see? We didn't crumble without you, didn't.

314
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 4: We got better and we got bigger and everything is

315
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 4: better now and it had nothing to do with you.

316
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: And so that was really hard for me, and I,

317
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 4: like I said, this is a lot to get over.

318
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 4: And I think one literally, if he would have just

319
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 4: replied one time to one text or one call and said,

320
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: hey man, I'm not ready yet, or hey man, it's

321
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 4: not you.

322
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: I just can't.

323
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 4: I'm going through something, just one time, anything, would have

324
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 4: changed the whole narrative for me.

325
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: You got an opportunity to wrestle Rock Lesnar, the Big

326
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: He recently came back.

327
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, what what's it?

328
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: Like wrestling the big guys because obviously, you know, running

329
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: into a guy that's two rock sides or one of

330
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: these big guys is different than running in somebody that's

331
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: your side, because I mean, you guys are really athletic.

332
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: I mean people talk about all that that's okay, I'll

333
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: get it scripted, but all that falling and all that

334
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: tumbling and from ten to fifteen feet in the air,

335
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: that takes a lot out of you.

336
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: sEH, yeah, I mean I hear.

337
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 4: The thing is I love what one of the fun

338
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 4: things about for wrestling is I love matchups. Yeah, you know,

339
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 4: there are weight classes in UFC, there are weight classes

340
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 4: and amateur wrestling.

341
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: That's for a reason.

342
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 4: Yes, that's for a reason in our industry of things

343
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,239
Speaker 4: go sideways, those big boys will crush.

344
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: Or there's nothing you can do about it.

345
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: But I love the fact in wrestling pro wrestling that

346
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 4: we don't have the weight classes that you get to

347
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 4: see wild matchups that you never get to see anywhere else.

348
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 4: That seth Rollins can go toe to doe with Brocklesner,

349
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: that he can find a way to figure out the beast,

350
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 4: that he can use his strengths against Brock Lesnar's weaknesses

351
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 4: and you just don't get that anywhere else. You know,

352
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 4: you don't get those kind of fairy tale matchups, like

353
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: you don't get the Big Show or Cane or Undertaker

354
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 4: versus Ray Mysterio. You know, there's no other world where

355
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: that exists. So it's this amazing like it's like a

356
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: Marvel movie in real life where you get to see

357
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: Thanos versus Thor, you know, or Thanos versus Spider Man.

358
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 4: You're like, oh, well, Fanos would crush him, but no,

359
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: because Spider Man's got he's an adjact with Webbs, and

360
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: he's got his way of figuring it out. And that's

361
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 4: what's fun about wrestling is when you see matchups and

362
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 4: you see the tail of the tape, you go, wow,

363
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 4: how is this guy gonna figure it out? Or oh, man,

364
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 4: big Boy's gonna he's gonna crush that little guy, or man,

365
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see these two giants collide, or man,

366
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see these two technical assassins just

367
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 4: get it on, or these two like awesome strikers slug

368
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 4: it out.

369
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: You know.

370
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 4: So you get all of that with wrestling that you

371
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 4: just don't get in any other form of sport, especially.

372
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: How would you have liked to wrestle rest Is so

373
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: Andre the giant over seven foot tall, five hundred pounds.

374
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: That would have been great. That would have been great.

375
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: Man off his feet.

376
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 4: No, I mean I'm poundful pound pretty strong, but those

377
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: boys are.

378
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: That's big dude. That's a big boy, you know what

379
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 3: I mean. I'm at to trip him. That's how I

380
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: get it. That run him until he's tired and trip him.

381
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: What NFL player, NBA player?

382
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: You think it would be really good in w W

383
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: E oh man, George Kittle because he does he he does,

384
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: could definitely do it.

385
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 3: He loves it.

386
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 5: You know.

387
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: I think when he's retired, he's gonna come do at

388
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: least one match. Dude, what once once the Niners? Like yeah,

389
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 4: he's done with his playing career and he's waiting for

390
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 4: that Hall of Fame like he dude, no doubt about it.

391
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 4: He's gonna come do one. I always, you know, I

392
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 4: look at the big dudes for sure. I look at

393
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: like like Miles Garrett's one of my you know, just

394
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 4: like House David and Joku again, like just these house dudes.

395
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: Man, trying to think there's anybody else off the top

396
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: of my head. That's really good.

397
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 4: You know. I like Dk Metcalf, Like Dk is a

398
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: freak athlete, you know, but he just got that bill

399
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 4: and he's got the look to him too.

400
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

401
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: I mean.

402
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: That's a lot of the reason the w W likes

403
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 4: to like recruit, you know, college athletes, because.

404
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: They y'all got in. I saw. I think the w

405
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: he got an n I L program.

406
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: Correct, we do have an n IL program.

407
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: Because I saw like a couple of women's shot putters

408
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: and things like that that's gonna once their career is

409
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: over and and and collegiate, they're gonna.

410
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 4: Go to the w W hopefully take a crack out

411
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: of and now go to Undo Orlando and see if

412
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 4: they can develop a passion for it.

413
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: So where are you on uh, influencers or athletes coming

414
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 2: into the ww We see Logan Paul did it?

415
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 4: Uh?

416
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: Does it from?

417
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: Occasionally we see McAfee, Pete Matten comes in. I show

418
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: Speed showed up in in in the Ring a couple

419
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 2: of times.

420
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: So where are you on that? You okay with that?

421
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm fine with it. I always feel like it's like,

422
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 4: you know, I think it's as a talent it can

423
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 4: be frustrating. You feel like, you know, if if they're

424
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 4: in a big spotlight, you know, you're like, ah, they're

425
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 4: taking somebody's spot, right, But at the end of the day,

426
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 4: like you and I mean this nicely, and I would

427
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 4: say this to my my younger self too, and like

428
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: that was never your spot that you weren't gonna do.

429
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: It wasn't gonna have the same impact.

430
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 4: The reason we are able to bring these influencers or

431
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: actors or whomever into the into the phray is to

432
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 4: get new eyes on the project and that those new

433
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 4: eyes then they can find you, you know, otherwise they

434
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 4: ain't gonna find you, you know.

435
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 3: So it's it's a it's that's a.

436
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 4: Tough lesson to learn, I think as a young talent,

437
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 4: because you want those opportunities. But yeah, I mean I

438
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 4: think it's great, and you know, not all of them

439
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: are Like Logan, Logan's a great exam Logan do this.

440
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: He can do it, and he developed the passion for

441
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 4: it quickly. I don't know that he thought. I don't

442
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 4: know that he thought because he's he's pretty much full

443
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 4: time now, he's every week he's there, and I don't

444
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 4: know that he when he first started that, he thought

445
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 4: that was what it is. Here's this fun thing I

446
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 4: get to do. You know, he's all about making money

447
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: and and and they're getting he's getting paid, and he

448
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 4: gets to do this fun thing. And it's kind of

449
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 4: like fight adjacent to you know, this athletic uh, you know,

450
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 4: nature to it. I think he got addicted to it.

451
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 4: I think he got addicted to the process. And like

452
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 4: when you get hooked that way, it's really hard to

453
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 4: let it go. And so there's not a lot of him,

454
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 4: you know, most of them are like a speed who

455
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 4: gets in the rumble and gets.

456
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: Murked by bron breaker and then he don't want to

457
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 3: come back. Guys like I'm good, Yeah.

458
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm Rhonda. Ronda, Ronda Rowlsey. Obviously she was in the UFC.

459
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: He tried it. Are you surprised she didn't stay longer?

460
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: No, not at all. It's hard.

461
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 4: It's really hard, and what they were asking Ronda to

462
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 4: do was very difficult. The schedule was crazy.

463
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 3: Still at that time. This is pre COVID.

464
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 4: She comes in, she comes in twenty eighteen seventeen, something

465
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 4: like that, and at first it's very easy and not

466
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 4: I don't mean this in a negative way. But everything's

467
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 4: curated for her, so everything is choreographed and you know,

468
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 4: she has one match every six months or something like that,

469
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: and it gets well rehearsed and that's fun and you

470
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 4: get to do wrestling that way, and that can be

471
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 4: really fun, and that can be addicting for people, but

472
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 4: that's not really what wrestling is. Wrestling is a bit

473
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 4: of a grind and you have to and you it

474
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 4: used to be five times a week and you have to.

475
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: You have to.

476
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 4: But that's how you learn your craft, you know. But

477
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 4: if you're not used to that, and you're coming in

478
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: and this is not RONNA's fault, you're coming in and

479
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 4: that's how you're presented.

480
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: And then you have to work backwards. You have to work,

481
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: you know, opposite of.

482
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: The way I did, where I came up doing all

483
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 4: that and then I got to do the fun stuff

484
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 4: of the end. And that's easier because now it's like, oh, wow, wait,

485
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 4: you tell me I only have to wrestle fifty times

486
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 4: a year.

487
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish we would do two fifty.

488
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 4: So this is nothing when you go the other way,

489
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: when that is a really hard thing to do. And

490
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 4: she had other aspirations. You know, she wanted to be

491
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 4: a mom, and it's really hard to be a mom

492
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 4: and do our gig, especially when you want to have

493
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 4: multiple kids.

494
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: And you know, she kudos to her.

495
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 4: She traveled with her oldest daughter a lot, the same

496
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: way myself and my wife did with our daughter, and

497
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 4: that's a really difficult thing to do. And if you're

498
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 4: not having fun and you don't love it, it's it's

499
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 4: It does not surprise me that she was like, I

500
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 4: need to get away from this, and not to say

501
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 4: she won't come back and give it another go, because

502
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 4: she does have a talent for it.

503
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: But it doesn't surprise me.

504
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny who performed, who performed at the Super Bowl? Yes,

505
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: did you get that? You meet Bad Bunny?

506
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 5: Oh?

507
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I met.

508
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 4: We need till multiple times because he has done a

509
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: couple things for us from time to time. He had

510
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 4: an absolutely wonderful match with Dami Priests in Puerto Rico

511
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 4: a couple of years back. He loves wrestling. That's that's insane.

512
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 4: By the way, I just want people to understand that

513
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 4: he was a street fight. It was like a no

514
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 4: olds bar San Juan street fight. He's going through tables,

515
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 4: getting beat with chairs, getting choked, slammed. This is the

516
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 4: biggest artist in the world. This would have been like

517
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 4: Michael Jackson in nineteen eighty six at Wrestle Many.

518
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 3: What are we talking about? That's crazy, dude, Could you

519
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: imagine that?

520
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 4: No, like Paul McCartney ain't getting in the ring, and

521
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 4: you know that's crazy.

522
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 3: So I had a ton of respect for Beneaito. He

523
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: did not have to do that at all. What a

524
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: stud like. I don't know any of his songs, but dude,

525
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: that what a.

526
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: Savage you and post Malone had some beat.

527
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 4: Post he got up in my grill. Man, he's cheering

528
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 4: for punk and his wife over me and my wife.

529
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 4: He can't be doing that, you know what I mean?

530
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 3: Come on now that rehearsed.

531
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: I didn't even know.

532
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 3: I don't even know he was there.

533
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 4: I think he was there at Jelly Roll, there in

534
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 4: the crowd of Russell Palooza, which again Indianapolis a lot

535
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 4: of history there. And I just saw him and he

536
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 4: was like he's booing or something like that, and I

537
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: saw an opportunity and I took it. I'm gonna let him,

538
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let him dunk on me and my wife

539
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 4: like that. Come on, huh, posty, you're good, y'all good

540
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 4: that though, right?

Speaker 1: You said it. Damn you don't left stuff goal set.

542
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: Oh you gotta left stuff, goal set.

543
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: I'm in the conflict business man.

544
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: I'm in.

545
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 4: There's no money to be made of everybody. Y, that's

546
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 4: what it is. That's where we get paid.

547
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: Sir. A fan attacked you. Why do you press charges?

548
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 3: Uh?

549
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 4: That guy, from my understanding was he was catfished by

550
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 4: somebody pretending to be me and he was not.

551
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: He was I don't want to, you know, be rude,

552
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: but he was not all there was. There was something

553
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: off about him.

554
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 4: It felt like for me, it felt like the wrong

555
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 4: thing to do to try to get him incarcerated in

556
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: any way, and he wasn't a person that had the

557
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 4: means to pay for a big fine and go through

558
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 4: a whole legal process.

559
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 3: I asked the.

560
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 4: You know, judicial system that contacted me. I said, could

561
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: we look into please getting.

562
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: This guy some help?

563
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 4: Like he's not I'm lucky that he didn't bring anything

564
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 4: to you know, be particularly violent with. That's something that's

565
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: like very scary in situations like that. But thankfully we

566
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 4: got on the other side of it. And you're able

567
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 4: to look at it and it's totality like, Okay, what's

568
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 4: the best course of action here, and it's probably to

569
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: try to help this guy if we can do that.

570
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 4: So I was not able to follow up. I don't know,

571
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 4: but what I do know is that I chose not

572
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 4: to press charges for that reason. It didn't seem to

573
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 4: me that that was gonna solve the problem.

574
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: Goat Couples, we got you and Becky Lynch. We got Randy, Randy.

575
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: Savage of Miss Lisabe Okay, Edge of Beth Phoenix, Yep,

576
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 2: Matt Hardy Leader Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

577
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 4: That's that's a good list. That's a good list right there.

578
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 4: I mean word number one by a mile. But shout

579
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 4: out to Age and Beth. They're both great in the ring,

580
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 4: but they don't have the accolades that myself and my

581
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 4: wife has.

582
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 3: Correct Uh, Stephanie and Hunter they did.

583
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: She just wrestling in WrestleMania.

584
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: Who's at Becky, Becky?

585
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 4: She was at the Rumble Roll Rumble last week. Yeah

586
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 4: in RT Riot Saudi Arabia.

587
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: Lived one Yeah, lived on the.

588
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: Roller Rumble Yep.

589
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: Becky has won the Rumble before first woman in main

590
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 4: event WrestleMania, and then myself.

591
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 3: You read the accolades earlier. I mean, there's no there's

592
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 3: nobody on that list. It's even close.

593
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: Is it easier to date a woman that's in the

594
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: business with you? A guy told me one time, he said,

595
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: you understand why movie stars the other movie stars? I say,

596
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: not why? I said they like each other. No, he said,

597
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: because the other know what it's like to live that life.

598
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that part of it is very that is

599
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: very beneficial.

600
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 4: It's something that's like, you know, you don't you don't

601
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: want to mix business with pleasure because if it doesn't end, well,

602
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 4: you know, there.

603
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Is they still wrestle You got to see each other.

604
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard, and then they date somebody else. You're

605
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 4: dating somebody else. It's it's not fun, Like that's just

606
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 4: not a fun thing. So you do try to avoid it.

607
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 4: But when you find somebody and Becky and I were

608
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 4: friends for years before we started dating, When you find

609
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 4: somebody who gets it and understands what you're doing and

610
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 4: you go through the same things, it's.

611
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: So much easier.

612
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 4: And because our business and our industry is so strange

613
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 4: and so weird, like just asking regular people who do

614
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 4: regular jobs to understand it is it is.

615
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 2: It can be a tall task, especially when you're starting out,

616
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 2: because you're saying you're wrestling three to five times a week,

617
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: so you're gone, so basically forty five forty five forty

618
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: seven weeks out of the year, you own the road.

619
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 4: We would be yeah, three hundred days a year for sure,

620
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 4: easy with the travel in the media. Yeah, I'd wrestle

621
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 4: like my, my, my craziest years, I would wrestle probably

622
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 4: close to two hundred and fifteen matches a year. And

623
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 4: that's not including the travel days. Like we would leave

Speaker 4: That's like a normal week. I'd have that thirty six

633
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 4: hours at home. Essentially, Like we would have tours that

634
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 4: were you know, would take us away for months at

635
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: a time.

636
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: It was it was.

637
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no chance to have a proper relationship

638
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: in that situation.

639
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: I read in doing this, there's research on you. You

640
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 2: were open to being in a poly relationship. How did

641
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: how did Becky come along and completely change You're like,

642
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 2: you know what I'm you know, I thought I wanted probably,

643
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: but I'm good with just what.

644
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 3: What what I really needed was to be single. That's

645
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 3: what I needed. Well, that's what I need.

646
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 4: I was a serial monogamoust for my whole adult life,

647
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 4: and I just needed to say, hey, you're okay.

648
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 3: Being by yourself, dude, just you're fine. You just need

649
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 3: to figure it out.

650
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 4: I mean I was from nineteen until I like, I

651
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 4: mean when me and beck You started dating it we'd

652
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 4: have been nineteen, so six years ago. So like I

653
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 4: was thirty four, it's like fifteen years. I was just

654
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 4: in relationship after relationship with like this much break in between.

655
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 4: So I never really got comfortable being by myself.

656
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 3: Really just got comfortable, and that's what I needed. But

657
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: I was like, at the end of my last.

658
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: Relationship before I started dating her, I was like, all right,

659
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 4: I'm just not cut out for monogamy. I'm not cut

660
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 4: out for being in a relationship. I just need Maybe

661
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 4: maybe it's like I can just do like I can

662
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 4: be in a relationship, but you know, maybe like some

663
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 4: being that relationship and not really be in that relationship.

664
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 4: You know what, I just needed to be single, and

665
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 4: I just didn't know how to process at all. So

666
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 4: and I'm probably like in taking too much information, reading

667
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 4: too much about it, thinking too much about it.

668
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: And the bottom line was.

669
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: Either A I needed to be single, which I just

670
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 4: didn't know how to do, or B I needed to

671
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: find the right partner, and I did and that was

672
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 4: once I found Once, once we locked that in, I

673
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: was done.

674
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: I mean I had a ring on order within like

675
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 3: two months.

676
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: But here's the thing.

677
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: Obviously, when you wrestle, you probably had a couple of

678
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 2: days around and she probably saw them. She's like, nah,

679
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: I say, I'm good, Bro, you ain't you ain't you

680
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: ain't ready for anything serious.

681
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 4: Well, we started seeing each other like cause it was

682
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 4: you know, I was again we were both scared of

683
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 4: getting involved with someone we worked with, and so we

684
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 4: were like, you know, let's just keep it kind of chill.

685
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: Maybe this yeah, But then she was like, you know what,

686
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: I don't think so I don't, you know, we could

687
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 3: just be friends. We were friends before. We don't have

688
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: to do any of that romantic stuff.

689
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 4: Let this be friends, because like if we're not going

690
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: to be in all in, and I don't want to,

691
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 4: I don't want to just do this little thing. I'm

692
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 4: you know, that's stupid because I want to be all in,

693
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: but I'm not gonna so like she's like, ah, I

694
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 4: will just be friends. In the literal second, she said that,

695
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: I could like feel my heart be like, oh no,

696
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 4: what have you done.

697
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: Don't do that.

698
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 4: I can't let you get away. I can't let you

699
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 4: get away. I'm like, but I'm supposed to be single.

700
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: Now I've decided that I needed to be single. She's

701
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 4: also decided that I need to be single. You know,

702
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 4: all these things are going on in my head at once,

703
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 4: and then like I remember, she hung up the phone,

704
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 4: and I'm like sitting there on the couch by myself,

705
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 4: going like no, no, no, no, no no no no,

706
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 4: this is wrong, this is wrong, and thankfully it was wrong.

707
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 4: And then I convinced her that it was wrong, and

708
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: like two weeks later, she was like, you know what

709
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: we should we should be together, and like I said,

710
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 4: was done.

711
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: You guys have been together ever since, ever since. It's

712
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: how did you know? Did you always? Because like you said,

713
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: you were friends and you as friends?

714
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: You know, some guys like I can't be friend with

715
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: a young lady or someone that I'm attracted to, but

716
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: clearly you guys were friends. Did you have any idea

717
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: that at some point in time that you guys could

718
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: be in a relationship where you just.

719
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 4: Know, I mean, look being in being in the Wwe Look, man,

720
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 4: I gotta be friends with girls that I'm a try because.

721
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 3: That's all they are.

722
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 4: They're all beautiful women, you know what I mean. So

723
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 4: you're friends with beautiful women. You just learned to figure

724
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 4: that out. You know, it's not if you If you're not,

725
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 4: then you're not gonna have no friends, no female friends.

726
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, you you learn to do that, you know,

727
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 4: and then that that is tricky too. I think that's

728
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 4: that's harder than I think people think it is. And

729
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 4: it was something I had had to learn a little bit.

730
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: But you know, once you got into that mode, it

731
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, no problem, and I we never I

732
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 4: never thought.

733
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 3: About her that way.

734
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 4: I knew she was beautiful, thought she was fun, but

735
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 4: the work, like we just didn't mix and like she

736
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 4: I was again, I was already dating, you know, I

737
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 4: was in relationships and she was, you know, seeing somebody

738
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 4: or a couple guys here and there, so like outside

739
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 4: of the industry. So we just never it never even

740
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 4: occurred until we were both single and at the right

741
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 4: time kind of talk to each other and spending more

742
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 4: time together.

743
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: And it was like, you know, the classic one thing

744
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 3: I'd do another.

745
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: Why was she different?

746
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: Gosh, I mean, it's so interesting because be careful.

747
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, well.

748
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: You can't.

749
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 4: I can't describe it. She was just it was so effortless,

750
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 4: I think, effortless to talk about anything and to.

751
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: I had. I had a.

752
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 4: Different type of respect for her right out of the

753
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 4: gate because we had established a friendship for a long time.

754
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 4: Our relationship was based on friendship, based on a mutual respect,

755
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 4: and based on that kind of love as opposed to

756
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 4: just you know, I think I just I confused the

757
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 4: feeling of lust for a long time with the feeling

758
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 4: of love and kind of let that carry me through

759
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 4: into relationships that I would I would overstay my welcome

760
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 4: for sure.

761
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: With her.

762
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 3: It was never about that, you know.

763
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 4: It became lustful, became romantic, and it's that part of it.

764
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: It's incredible, But that was not like the base for it.

765
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: And so there was a respect and there was an

766
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: understanding and an appreciation, and I think those all those

767
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 4: things like laid the foundation in a way that I

768
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 4: had not experienced before. I mean, you can say she's

769
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 4: smart and funny and kind and sweet, you know, you

770
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 4: give all that stuff, but the basis and the foundation

771
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 4: for the relationship it was was unique in a way

772
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 4: that I had not experienced. And you know, when you

773
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 4: just find that person that feels like your person where

774
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 4: you're you know, you have that connection that's different and unique.

775
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: It was just there.

776
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 5: It was.

777
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 4: It was immediate once there, romantic, once the spark kid,

778
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 4: I was like, Oh, that is that's the thing.

779
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: That's what they all talk about. That's what they write

780
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: the movies, that's what they you know, you is you.

781
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: Were originally scheduled being Captain America. Nah, but they had

782
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: your scene removed. Did you know they were going to

783
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 2: remove that scene or were you like, what did they

784
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 2: call it?

785
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: Say? Well, Seth, the you didn't make you didn't survide

786
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: the cutting room floor.

787
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: That's correct.

788
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 4: So so that the movie went through a million rewrites,

789
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 4: and you know, I had gotten a call from producers.

790
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 4: Also a friend of mine named Nate Morey's wonderful guy,

791
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 4: great producer, and he was working on that film.

792
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 3: And uh so we had done it. We shot the

793
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 3: whole thing. It was awesome.

794
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 4: I would love to see the b roll of that

795
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 4: because I had some pretty six scenes in there, beating

796
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 4: up Anthony Mackie, and I'd love to see where that exists.

797
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: But you know, the studio wasn't happy with the direction

798
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 4: of the film. They wanted to change some things. And

799
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 4: they didn't just say hey, you're out. They actually they

800
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 4: called me in and they said, hey, we're repurposing this.

801
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 3: The beginning of this film.

802
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 4: You're like, I was in like kind of a group

803
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 4: of roles, like we were a team. We're repurposing that

804
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 4: into one person. They allowed me to read for the role,

805
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 4: you just in the chance that they saw something they

806
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 4: really liked and they would cast me in that.

807
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 3: So I read for the role and I was like,

808
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 3: and then I saw gian.

809
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 4: Carlo Esposito, Gus Fring from Breaking Bad get cast in,

810
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 4: and I'm like, well, I think they had their heart

811
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 4: set I'm not competing with that guy anyway.

812
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 3: That's an elite actor.

813
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, then they called me back and we're like, naw,

814
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 4: you know, we're going to go in a different direction.

815
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 4: So at least I got a heads up. I wasn't

816
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 4: like waiting for that invite to the premiere and then

817
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 4: got sad when I didn't get one.

818
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 3: No, I knew it was up.

819
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: Would you do you want to do you want to

820
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: do movies or is that something you're interested in?

821
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 4: You no, man, I only took the I did a

822
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 4: WWE movie back in two thousand and sixteen, a Tormee

823
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 4: a cl in November of fifteen WWE Films. They had

824
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 4: a studio at the time. They wanted me to come

825
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 4: in and do a movie during my off time, which

826
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 4: I did. Hated every second of it.

827
00:35:59,400 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 3: I hated.

828
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 4: I did not want to do another one, which is

829
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 4: why I didn't take another role until Nate called me

830
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 4: and said, hey, would you like to do this thing.

831
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 3: In Captain America? And I'm like, I gotta do that, right,

832
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 3: you know, Captain of America. It's marvel. I gotta do that.

833
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 3: So but that's I just don't like it. I don't

834
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 3: like the process of it.

835
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot of sitting and wait.

836
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 3: It's a lot of sitting and waiting.

837
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 4: If you're waiting for months for any sort of feedback,

838
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 4: you don't even know if you're doing a good job.

839
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 3: You're doing the same thing over and over and over.

840
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 4: I did not.

841
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 3: I was not for me.

842
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 4: Again, if the right prospect came along, I would consider it,

843
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 4: But nah, I got I got my toes dipped in

844
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 4: some other pools right now.

845
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 2: So if your daughter wanted to become a wrestler, her

846
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: mom's a wrestler, her dad's a wrestler, you open to that.

847
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think if you asked me

848
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 4: that like twenty years ago, I just said no. You know,

849
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 4: like the business was in a much different place. But

850
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: thanks to my wife and some of the other women

851
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 4: who've really pioneered change, the way the business looks at

852
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 4: women now is completely different. What it means to be

853
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 4: successful and good in our industry is not just about.

854
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 3: How you look. It's about what you can do. You know,

855
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 3: whether you can talk. It's all the same metrics that

856
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 3: it is for men.

857
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think it's just a much better place

858
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 4: for women than it was even when I came in

859
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 4: in twenty twelve.

860
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 3: So if you wanted to do it, great, I'd support

861
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 3: her and help her out.

862
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, in the beginning, women had very

863
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: very limited roles in wrestling. I mean you might see

864
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 2: him like once every three to four months.

865
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 4: But it was, it was And then they were on

866
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 4: TV for two minutes and it's probably a bron panties

867
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 4: match or Jerry Lawler was screaming puppies or something like that.

868
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 3: It wasn't it was. It was awful, you know, it

869
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 3: was awful.

870
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: We've seen some of the biggest stars in the WWE

871
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: come on go on to become very, very big and acting.

872
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 2: We see Rock he's probably your biggest, and you got Batista,

873
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 2: you see Roman Reigns. You said, that's not something that

874
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 2: you're really interested in.

875
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: Do you think those.

876
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: Guys got into WWE thinking they would it would transition

877
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 2: them into acting, Because I remember rocking The Mummy and

878
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: the next thing I know, he's in the Scorpion King

879
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: and the next thing I know.

880
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: He's the Rock. I mean, he's DJ, he's huge, he's

881
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: doing everything.

882
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the same thing. But Batista, No, you know, I

883
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 3: don't think so. I think they all, you know, they

884
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 3: came into it different ways.

885
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 4: Like you look at the big ones like John Cena

886
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 4: and DJ, and they both i mean DJ grew up

887
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 4: in it, right his dad, Yeah, his grandpa, like all

888
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 4: his family, he's a part of it. So he grew

889
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 4: up around it. You know, tried college ball, it was

890
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 4: really good, got hurt cause he didn't make the pros

891
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 4: and say, hey, let me give this thing a shot.

892
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 4: And you know, he just had an attitude for it

893
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 4: because it was he'd been around it his whole life.

894
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 4: And he's his natural performance.

895
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 1: He's perfect.

896
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: I mean he's yeah, you know, six four, two hundred

897
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: and fifty pounds athletic, can dump and dumble can do.

898
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 4: You know, he's got it all man, I mean, he's

899
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 4: a total package, perfect just but he but his goal

900
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 4: was never to be around for a long time, right.

901
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 4: He wanted to kickstart and go to Hollywood. And when

902
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 4: he got that opportunity, he he you know, made the

903
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 4: most of it. John same way, loved the business, just

904
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 4: wanted to be a wrestler, Like he was working in gyms.

905
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 3: And stuff like that.

906
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 4: Got an opportunity to get trained and become a wrestler

907
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 4: and did it. And just was like, I love this,

908
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do this. And then eventually, you know, the role,

909
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 4: Hollywood came calling, it came asking, and he was.

910
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: He he developed the love for that.

911
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 4: Now he's you know, John Scene of the Action Star.

912
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think when you see the people transition,

913
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 4: it's it's they have a genuine passion for our industry

914
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 4: and Hollywood sees that they see marketability in these guys

915
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 4: and or girls, and they come and the opportunities are there,

916
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 4: and you know, some people love it and want to

917
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 4: do it and are great at it.

918
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 3: That ain't me.

919
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: What's the what's a root team?

920
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 4: Like?

921
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: So what's your what's your week? Like?

922
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 5: Uh?

923
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: As far as working out when you're on the when

924
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: you're on the document, yeah, I'll.

925
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 3: Train like four or five times a week usually.

926
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: Man.

927
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 4: I used to train like a psychopath and then you know,

928
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 4: I hit thirty five and I just didn't recover the

929
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 4: way I used to. And I was like, you know,

930
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 4: I think I pump it down a little bit, so,

931
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 4: you know, and then I became a dad as well,

932
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 4: and you know, your time just changes. Yeah, your priorities

933
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 4: change a little bit. And I didn't want to be

934
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 4: at the gym for two and a half hours anymore,

935
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 4: you know. And so I didn't want to train seven

936
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 4: days a week anymore. I wanted to spend time with

937
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 4: my kid and my family and all that stuff. So yeah,

938
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll do like four four days a week.

939
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 4: We travel on Sunday, do the show on Monday. Occasionally

940
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 4: there's the paper V's on Saturday. And it's a longer weekend,

941
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 4: you know. I again, I'm a little bit older, so

942
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 4: I got to count what I'm eating. You know, Wrestling

943
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 4: is in aesthetic business, so I got I got to

944
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 4: look a certain way.

945
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: You know.

946
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 4: I try to get some body work done once a week,

947
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 4: just to make sure everything's tidy. If I've got something

948
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 4: that's worse, you know, I might get a couple couple

949
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 4: times a week.

950
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 3: Get the girl over to the house, get the elbow

951
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 3: in the knos, you know.

952
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 4: So I mean, and that's it, And then I try

953
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 4: to be a dad when I'm home, take my kid

954
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 4: to school and pick her up from school, and do

955
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 4: all the stuff she used to when she was younger.

956
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 4: She started like preschool this year, and so she's kind

957
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 4: of locked in in one place.

958
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: Right.

959
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 3: We'll still take her on like some select trips. But Becky.

960
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 4: So she's born in December twenty twenty, and Becky was

961
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 4: off until July of twenty one.

962
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 3: And then once Becky was.

963
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 4: Back in July, our daughter came with us everywhere. Every

964
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 4: she came with us every weekend. We took her all

965
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 4: over the world.

966
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 3: It was awesome. I mean it was it was hard,

967
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 3: but it was awesome.

968
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 4: I mean, not everybody who's like a traveling, working parent

969
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 4: gets the opportunity to just like take their kid everywhere

970
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 4: in the world with them, and we were so fortunate

971
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 4: to be able to spend that time.

972
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 2: Is a situation now that you guys alternate weekends or something,

973
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: when you she's.

974
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 1: On the road, you're at home, you're on my MoMA.

975
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 3: My mom moved out to Los Angeles.

976
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 1: Okay, that's awesome.

977
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, my mom's out there, so Grandma. She gets to

978
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 4: spend time with grandma, you know. But we just make

979
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 4: your work. If if you know, Becky's gone, she was

980
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 4: just gone for a good three three weeks stretch or so,

981
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 4: and fortunately I was hurting home and able to do

982
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 4: it and I wasn't on the road. But yeah, I mean,

983
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 4: if if the schedule looks daunting and we're gonna be

984
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 4: gone for long periods of time.

985
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 3: We'll get ahead of it.

986
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 4: We'll talk to WW and there's so much better now

987
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 4: than they than days past, where they are more family friendly.

988
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 4: They are like, hey, let's make this work. And there's

989
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 4: not a lot of Like Becky and I are pretty

990
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 4: unique in the sense that we both do the gig right.

991
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 4: Like a lot of times when people have kids, it's

992
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 4: you know, their partner stays at home. They don't, they

993
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 4: don't have they work from home, they have a regular

994
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 4: job or whatever. So we're very unique situation where we

995
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 4: both do this and w W has been extremely accommodating

996
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 4: and helping us make sure that our kid is you know,

997
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 4: has a parent there at all times.

998
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: When you have to go to the bathroom.

999
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 4: In the ring, it never happens, really, no, no, no, no, no,

1000
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 4: I mean you were not playing. You guys got a

1001
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 4: three hour game, you know what I mean. That's you know,

1002
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 4: our matches are at most, you know, crazy he wanted

1003
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 4: to be an hour long, like the roller rumbles an

1004
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 4: hour long, but you're not in there for the whole time,

1005
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 4: so you know, you don't it never, it never occurs.

1006
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: To me so you know, nobody's ever had to go

1007
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: to the bathroom.

1008
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure it has happened. It's I mean, it's like

1009
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 3: it's just like it's not there, you know what I mean.

1010
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: You know we got we go on the sideline.

1011
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get a nervous like I have

1012
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 4: a nervous piece sometimes before the match, you know what

1013
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 4: I mean.

1014
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 3: I gotta run to the bathroom real quick and get

1015
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 3: it out. But once it's out, I'm good. Yeah, once

1016
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 3: i'm and once I'm through the curtains there, it's done.

1017
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: So well, that would be bad.

1018
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would not be fun.

1019
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: Hey, I gotta go to the bathroom. Yeah, you gotta

1020
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: go ahead and count me out.

1021
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 3: I know I'm gonna roll under the ring, get a

1022
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 3: little bottle and go.

1023
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: You know, you roll up on a ring. That's what

1024
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: you did.

1025
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 3: I'd be if you needed to do it. That'd be

1026
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 3: how you do it. You go, get a water bottle

1027
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 3: in there, a Gatoray bottle or something, roll under the

1028
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 3: ring and do your thing. Get back out real quick.

00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: Wow.

Speaker 3: Like they'll like do something, go to the back, come back,

1034
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 3: But never happened to me.

1036
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: Bears face. Yes, sir, they might be here in Indiana,

1037
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 2: the Indiana Bears.

1038
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 3: Oh god, there's no way. Come on, can you even

1039
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 3: imagine it? Can you even imagine that the Gary Bears

1040
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 3: get out of here? Get out of here? You know,

1041
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 3: look that that's a pr stunt.

1042
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: There's no way.

1043
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 3: That's that's that's that's Kevin Moran's going. Come on, yeah,

1044
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 3: keep keep pushing. They're not leaving Illinois.

1045
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: Well, they said the same thing about the Chiefs not

1046
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: leaving Missouri.

1047
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 3: That's fair, that's fair. I mean, as long as we

1048
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 3: still call them Chicago Bears.

1049
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: How you gonna call thembout Chicago Bears with in Indiana?

1050
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 3: I mean, if you other Kansas City, I mean, I

1051
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 3: guess Kansas City is the same.

1052
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: I can't cuber.

1053
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 3: Well, we're just gonna have to rename Gary. It's just

1054
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 3: gonna have to be Chicago. Chicago. Indiana just changed the

1055
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 3: dang thing.

1056
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: What you you saw the vast improvement from the Bears

1057
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: this year. Oh it was great.

1058
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: You'd see they brought in Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams to

1059
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 2: performed unbelievable. The defense played better, you got skill position,

1060
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: but Ben Jonson is the big reason. Yeah, what has

1061
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 2: you so enthusiastic about the Bears moving forward?

1062
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 3: I mean, just you They've got it. They've got a

1063
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 3: quarterback and a coach.

1064
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 4: And if that says synced up and you stay in

1065
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 4: that same system, I mean you see the modern NFL,

1066
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 4: that is the recipe for success, especially when you look

1067
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 4: at the big dynasties. You look at Brady and Belichick,

1068
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 4: you look at Mahomes and Reid. I mean, that's it,

1069
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 4: you know what I mean you want, That's what you want,

1070
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 4: and that's what everybody looks for.

1071
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 3: And so when when you and you see teams that.

1072
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 4: Getting rid of coaches and drafting quarterbacks, just hiring coaches

1073
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 4: just so they can link them up like that, you know. So,

1074
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I think when you've got the guy behind center,

1075
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 4: who's tough, you can throw the ball, wants to learn,

1076
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 4: wants to get better, and you've got the guy calling

1077
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 4: the plays who also seems to be a great leader.

1078
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 4: From what I can understand, players want to play for him.

1079
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 4: You know, that's the recipe for success, and it feels

1080
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 4: like this year felt different than for the Bears. You know,

1081
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 4: they over the last twenty years, they've had a couple

1082
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 4: of seasons that you know, you look good, and you

1083
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 4: know they had had Naggie's first year. Got Strubisky said,

1084
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 4: oh baby, this just felt different. Man felt different this

1085
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 4: year with Caleb and you know, could be wrong, could

1086
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 4: be a wash next year. The NFL's crazy place. But

1087
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 4: I went to some of the games at Soldier Fields

1088
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 4: this year. It was a really special experience to be

1089
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 4: there and watch this team.

1090
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: Can you guys win a championship? How soon before you

1091
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: guys win a championship?

1092
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 4: You know, I honestly thought and I predicted the Bears

1093
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 4: would have a really good season, but some of that

1094
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 4: was a little you know, just me having a good time.

1095
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you.

1096
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 4: They exceeded my expectations this year. They exceeded my expectations

1097
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 4: this year. And I think everybody kind of thought it

1098
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 4: might take two years to get them where we wanted,

1099
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 4: you know where, where.

1100
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 3: What's this going to look like?

1101
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 4: With Caleb Williams right, the fact that they were able

1102
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 4: to progress so quickly and start winning games and continue

1103
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 4: to win games through the season, win the North with

1104
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 4: the Packers and the Lions.

1105
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 3: I mean, the Vikings had a.

1106
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 4: Great year last year, but the Sam Darnold thing was

1107
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 4: chaos for them. You know, they might live to regret

1108
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 4: that decision. I think the Bears to win the North

1109
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 4: this year was was huge. I think they were and

1110
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 4: I look the Packers game wild Card game I was

1111
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 4: nervous about. I actually thought they were. I was kind

1112
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 4: of not too scared about the Rams. I thought they

1113
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 4: were gonna win that game, and very close they're there.

1114
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,479
Speaker 4: I mean, you took a look at the elite teams

1115
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 4: in the NFC. I don't think they're that far off.

1116
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 4: If everybody stays put and they get healthy and they

1117
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 4: you know, they keep going that offense.

1118
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 3: You only touched on what it could be. So yes,

1119
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,280
