WEBVTT - The Blue Meanie 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.800 Today we're here to talk about Athletic Greens. Athletic Greens 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.279 is a product that I've worked into my daily routine 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:09.400 because I wanted more energy, I wanted better gut health, 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.280 and I wanted to optimize my immune system. I hate 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:15.680 taking vitamins, I hate taking pills every single day, so 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:18.600 I wanted a supplement that actually tastes grapes. But I 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:20.919 also wanted to see what the hype was about. And 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.040 I've been taking it for about two weeks and it 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.520 doesn't taste like it's super healthy, but it's got kind 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.320 of a mild tropical taste that I actually look forward 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.480 to each morning. With one delicious scoop of AG one, 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.600 you're absorbing seventy five high quality vitamins, minerals, whole food 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.360 source superfoods, and probiotics that help you start your day right. 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.519 This special blend of ingredient supports your gut health, your 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.479 nervous system, your immune system, your energy, your recovery, your focus, 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.400 and of course your aging. Every morning I start off 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.800 with my Athletic Greens. I get up before I have 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.160 anything to eat, I load it up, I take a swig, 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.520 and I'm ready to start my day. Rolling in the 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.400 right direction. What I've noticed, I've noticed a lot of 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.400 extra energy. I've noticed a little bit more awareness and 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.880 a little bit more of that extra push that I 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.080 need to get everything done in a daily routine that 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.240 normally I'd be dragging and I'd be complaining the whole 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.200 entire day. But I was also in the group of 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.000 the tons of people that take some kind of multi 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:21.920 vitamin and every day having to replace each pill, each vitamin, 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.479 each supplement, and I decided it's important to choose one 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.240 with high quality ingredients that your body will actually absorb. 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.880 One thing I'll say about Athletic Greens It's lifestyle friendly. 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.759 Whether you eat keto, paleo, vegan, dairy free, or gluten free, 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.240 Athletic Greens is the supplement for you.

It supports better 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.880 sleep quality and recovery, supports mental clarity and alertness. It's 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.600 the one thing with the best things.

But it's also cheaper 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.880 than getting all the different supplements yourself. You're simply investing 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.120 in an all in one nutritional insurance.

If you didn't know by now, 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.160 my name is Chad. And every single week I got 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.680 a lot to say. I have a big shpiel, it seems. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.680 But I'm here, of course and joined by the Queen 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.160 of Extreme you have a lot to stay today or 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.400 just in general. No, it sounded like it was very 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.960 long winded. Now you say that every week, I know, 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.680 but it felt longer this week. I don't know why. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.720 Oh I don't. I don't know why either. As I 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.760 was getting ready to come down here, I made my 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.440 smoothie because I've been drinking a smoothie for lunch every 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:14.480 day trying to lose weight, and I spilled it. I 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:21.280 spilled it all over my floor and on my countertop. 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.000 So I had to clean that real quick and I 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.520 salvage most I spilled the top. But it's relatively false. 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:31.880 So what kind of smoothie this is a It's chocolate moose, 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.520 but it's just a protein shake. I add peanut butter 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:43.080 to it and some vanilla unsweetened dilmond milk, and it's delicious, 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.880 really good. Yeah, unsweet, and I like the sweet and 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.080 one better. But my husband he's like, no, we don't 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.000 need the sugar, so, uh what the unsweet? But it's good. 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.279 It's good and it fills me up. And because you 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.720 know I I fast every day until about eleven twelve 0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:03.039 o'clock and this, this hits the spot. So I've never 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.560 been a smoothie guy. Okay, well it's a protein shake. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.039 It's not protein shak. Right, Smoothie is the setting on 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.640 the blender. Okay, So I've never even the same thing. Like, 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.800 I've never been into the shakes. I feel like they're 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:20.040 too good to be true. No, you're good. So I've 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.400 used our great audio sponsor on Creative Control Network, the 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.120 Athletic Greens Mix. Yes, we've been using them for for 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.960 a long time now. My husband has been using them 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.000 for like, I would say, the last couple of years. Yeah, 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:35.680 that's what you would. So you had told me that, 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.719 and you know they do. They sponsor the audio portion 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.000 on Creative Control, which you know, we splice the ad 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.760 into the audio version, which is the difference between being 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:49.960 a Patreon member and listening on Creative Control. Uh I, 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.400 At first I had to say I had my doubts 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.080 about the taste. It is a tropical drink when you 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.320 have some ice in that thing and you drink it. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.600 And that's what I've been enjoying it. I've been enjoying 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.920 the athletic greens. So it's a cheap plug for our 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.839 plug that you will be hearing in audio forum in 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.160 about fifteen minutes. Cheap plug for our plug, a chief 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.839 plug for our prug end product. But our guest is 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.359 ready to join the part. Hey and the ay for 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.440 extra emphasis. So I'm glad he's here. He has been 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.520 a friend of mine for gosh, I don't know, twenty 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.760 five years or so, a very long time. I was 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.760 able to spend some time with him this weekend. Please 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.719 join me in welcoming the Blue Meanie Hey thanking his 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:38.800 eyes up here debut today. Are you my friend?

But you know, Blue 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.400 Guy's very busy. He's a bucket list guest for the 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.680 show we've been We definitely had him at the top 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.159 of that list. I am checking off my bucket list. 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.040 First thing, I want to say, happy belated. I reached 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.919 out on your birthday.

Yes, And we're 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.000 not going to disclose our age unless you you would 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.400 like to. No, no, no, See. I tell everybody I'm 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.680 fifty and I love it, and I kick and not 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.920 shimmy in a shake. But you know, well, there's a 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.880 there's a great stay saying you're young once, but you 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.800 can be immature forever. So I've taken that route. Yeah, 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:26.440 and I know that because I've traveled with you up 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.440 and down the road. Uh. Before we get into you know, 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:36.600 backstories and whatnot, we were together this past weekend. We're 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.560 starting to show hot with you. We didn't really We 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.320 do like recaps and we talk a little bit, but 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.520 we didn't get to today because we started right at noon. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:49.200 MEI and I were working for Captain's Corner or a 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:53.680 friend Nick and Dave Cash was with us, Kid Cash 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.520 and it was a little mini reunion and we had 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.000 such a good time, don't you think. Hey, it's always 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:05.600 great when we can get together and reminisce, so to speak. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.200 It's just like the cool thing about our crew. It's 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.160 no matter how far apart we how long it's been 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.200 since we seen each other last time, we just pick 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.440 up right where we left off. It's true because now 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:23.080 I had not seen you. I don't know. I can't 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.040 even remember in the time you and Tracy came to 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.320 our house for dinner, that might have been it, and 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:32.640 that was years ago. Yeah, but he talks to my 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.040 husband more than he talks to mend it. They had 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:40.200 this little man group. You know, I'm private to it 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.520 because I get shown some of the conversations once in 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.480 a while. If they're funny, he pops me with them. 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.760 And you know, but we're kids of the eighties and 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.400 a lot of our eighties humor, eighties knowledge and stuff 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.720 like that. And yeah, we have another We had another 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.240 mutual friend within there. I'll protect him so he's innocent, 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.640 but he's he's married and has a family now, so 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.280 I know I know who you're talking about either. But 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.040 he's another guy that was part of that. I mean, 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.120 he wasn't a wrestler, but like a lot of the boys, 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.080 and he said I'd be considered one of the boys. 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:17.559 So it's just me and him have this saying, man, 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:21.360 if this was nineteen ninety six, you know, and I'll 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.640 just leave it at that. But you know, uh yeah, 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.960 we we just yeah, it's crazy how I talked to 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.280 your better half more to more than you. I'm like, really, hello, 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.920 But it's okay because we've kept in touch. It's not 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.000 like we don't speak, you know. But it's just the 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:40.080 boys club is running rampant, and it's fine because, like 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.280 I said, some of these, some of these memes and jokes, 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.360 I am prevy too, and I shake my head, but 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.839 I pop at the same time, so I get it. 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.440 It's all good. So what should we talk about today? 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.840 I feel like everybody, how'd you get into the business? 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.960 I mean, how many? How many things have you done? 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.719 And how many interviews have you done? That? Oh it's 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.400 always uh yeah, I don't want to talk about that. 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.360 I want to talk about Autopilot. Tell that story.

You don't have to go into logistics 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.720 and details, but what brought that on that evening?

I 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:08.200 went into WW in ninety eight, November ninety eight, and 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.720 forever reason, you know, and again it's it's hard to 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.840 nail down to one specific incident, you know, but forever 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.839 reason JBL now in full disclosure. Now me and John 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.880 are cool so and people like to use that uh oh, JB, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.760 I'll be I was like, yeah, we're friends. We made 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:34.679 up over this, so forever reason, there's always like some 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.120 kind of like remark or you know, when we're working 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.240 in the ring, I thought I felt he was taking 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:45.920 liberties in the ring. And you know, once I left 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.280 WWE and I was fired, I was like, I had 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.960 a great time. But I said an interview with Mike 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:56.360 Johnson or Chris Wardward buck Wardward, I said, I had 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.080 a great time in WWE, but JBL was a bully 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.000 and that's basically all I said, and then you know, 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.120 it kept coming up. I was like, yeah, he bowled me. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.640 You know, he's a bully, and you know how excuse me. 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.280 You're not the first to say this about him. There 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.640 have been several stories out there. I might have been 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.880 the first at that time to publicly Oh okay, okay. 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.319 This was in two thousand. When I said it, they 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:27.760 released me. So I think it's a case of you 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:32.200 know how the telephone game works, where what I say 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.800 this and by the time it gets to John, people 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:40.680 have embellished and oh man, wait till Minie. You know 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.440 you hear what Minie said about you, you know, and 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.520 you know I had seen him over the years, like 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.400 I had stopped by a w W show. Everything was cool, 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:54.320 and then that day at when I stand, everything was fine, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.920 Hey John, Hey me, Hey you do And then the 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.120 skirmish at the end, we were we we did a 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.000 whole rehearsal everything, and you know, we're all squaring off 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.440 and hey, you and I'm gonna beat you up and 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.880 you know whatever you say, right and uh I had 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:19.760 made a plan. Uh, one of the bashing brothers on 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.440 on on the other side, and I was like, hey, 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.600 let's just square off. You know, who knows if we're 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.720 ever going to see you know, I'm buddies with him. 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.680 I was like, who knows if we're going to see 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.520 each other again. Let's just square off and do whatever. 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.040 Have a good time, right, Yeah, So the skirmish breaks out, 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.960 and uh, we're going back and forth, and all of 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:43.880 a sudden, two nights before at the Forever Hardcore or 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:50.360 Hardcore Homecoming, Yeah, Saman busts open, uh with a ladder 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.040 or a chair, and I had staples in the back 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:56.600 of my head and uh, I'm but flash forward to 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.840 when I stand I'm brawling with on the bash I 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.360 think Danny Basham and then all of a sudden, there's 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:03.920 a punch right in the back of my head on 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:08.240 top of the staples. So if you watch the food, 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.280 you see me grab my hand, go son of a bitch. 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.880 I turn around. It's John and we just you know, 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.400 he does the hockey. We start having a hockey fight. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.800 You know. He just pulls my shirt over my face 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.960 and I start swinging back and you can't see at 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.200 this point because your face is covered. But when you know, 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.880 we all went over our stuff because they make you 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:33.200 walk through everything. They're ridiculous. So when you went over this, uh, 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.480 did he say I'm going to come from behind at 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.000 any point and try to square off with nothing? Okay, Okay, 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.040 now I think you know, Uh, there's one point where 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:44.920 I think I said something about his cowboy hat and 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.360 he just looked at me, and I was like, ah, ship, 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.840 I should have said that. I probably shouldn't say anything 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:54.560 about his cowboy hatter. So I don't know. And the ring, Huh, 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.480 you were in the ring when it wasn't like it 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.480 was a shoot like your hat. It's like we're working 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:04.800 you right right right right, kick your ass, but you know, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:09.280 you know it's a work. So you know, he hits 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.920 me in the back of the head and we're we're fighting, 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:16.320 and I powder off and I grabed somebody and uh 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.560 bubo bo and then like guys are coming up to me. 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.880 Tracy Smothers walks up to me because I'm i'm I'm 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.960 I'm bleeding, so uh okay, and then while walks up 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.600 to me, looks at me. Everybody's looking at me like 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:30.800 they thought I got collar. I was like, no, he 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.520 shot on me, and Tracy Smothers went over and uh, 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:36.920 if you watch sam Man puts his cane around him 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:42.280 and Tracy Smothers has well still in the ring. Yeah, 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.720 while while still going on, and you see Bubba pull 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:51.400 Mountain Whisper or something and tells him to uh skidaddle okay, 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.080 And we get to the back and uh, I'm you 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.800 know we're doing uh there's still like a couple of 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.240 minutes where they have Bischoff in there with stone cold 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.240 and they're beating up Bishof and you see I you know, 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.040 they bring in beers for Steve. Also, I grab a 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.960 beer and put it right on my face like a state. 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.919 I'm just like, I got one. I'm double fisted.
