00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: I got I got five down here.

00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm and I have a pull in my backyard that

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: is a nice skating rink at the moment. So, uh,

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: you know, you got a busy couple of weeks ahead

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: of you. You've got the Royal Rubble coming up, and

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: then literally right after the Royal Rumble, it's the kickoff

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: to the Road to WrestleMania and Knoxville at the Knoxville

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 2: Civic Coliseum where you're taking on Zoe Stark.

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

31
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to put the cart before

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: the horse and jump past Royal Rumble, but I do

33
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: want to talk about the Knoxville show. How do you

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: feel going against Zoe Stark at that show?

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh, so funny. I had my first MMA

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 4: fight at that same venue in Knoxville. So a full circle.

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: Going on homecoming too for you.

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's it's crazy, you know, it's like a full

39
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: circle moment. You know. I kind of started in that

40
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 4: town where you know, everything kind of came to be

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: where I am. So it's definitely cool to go back

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: there and like experience you know, everything and see everyone.

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: So and Zoe. So me and Zoe have a little

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 4: bit of history. When she injured her knee last year

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 4: or two years ago or whenever, you know, I was

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 4: in the ring with her, helping her get cleared, had

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: practice matches with her, and next thing, you know, she

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 4: moved up to roll without me and became, you know,

49
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,559
Speaker 4: to be this awesome superstar she is now. But definitely

50
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 4: we've butted heads, you know, about who's stronger and who's

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 4: you know, like muscle versus muscle type things. So definitely

52
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: I've had some of my best fights with her. So

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: I guarantee this is gonna be a hell of a fight.

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: Oh definitely is.

55
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: I think it'll be the fight, the fight of the night,

56
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: the thing that's going to steal the show. And again,

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: that's happening Knoxville Civic Coliseum February third, Road to WrestleMania.

58
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: Tickets you can still grab those there on sale at

59
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: ticketmaster dot com. And uh, you know, there's also some

60
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: other great things that are happening. NXT Vengeance Day is

61
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: right down the street from us in Clarksville. That is

62
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: happening February fourth at the F and M Bank Arena

63
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: at UH in Clarksville. Tickets, ticketmaster dot com. Which we'll

64
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: talk about NXT here for a second. And you know,

65
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: you spend some time at NXT. Transitioning from NXT to

66
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: raw very significant step in any WWE SuperStar's career. What

67
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: has been I guess the biggest difference for you in

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: terms of competition, atmosphere and challenges.

69
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: So in NXT you create a very special bond with everyone,

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: you know, because you're at the performance center, you're training.

71
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: There's just this bond that you create with people you know,

72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: and it's it's like I have to start over, you

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 4: know here at raw and kind of I've wrestled people

74
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: I've never wrestled before, you know, and that's you know,

75
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: it feels kind of different, you know, in NXTO, Like

76
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: there's some people that I've created bonds for for life

77
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: and I'll continue to train with them and you know,

78
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: grow with them and stuff. So it's definitely a different

79
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 4: transition to kind of work with people that you've never

80
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 4: really you know, have ever talked with before. And next thing,

81
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: you know, you're fighting that person. Like wait a second,

82
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 4: it's a little it's just you know, gonna be an adjustment,

83
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: but definitely something I'm ready for.

84
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, you know, kind of you have that

85
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: shared experience in NXT like you're going through the same

86
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: thing and have the same teachers and stuff. So yeah,

87
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah, so a big highlight for you, Uh,

88
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: not too long ago. Your recent match gets Ray Ripley,

89
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: I got a lot of attention over socials and everything.

90
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people buzz and you know, can you

91
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: give us some insights maybe into like your preparation and

92
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: strategy you kind of had going into that match, and like,

93
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: were there any like if you change that, Like would

94
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: you do anything different? Now you know, looking back on.

95
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: It, Oh gosh, So I go into I go into

96
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: this match with the mentality of instead of what am

97
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: I thinking? Like what is Riha thinking? So she doesn't

98
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: have I've watched probably every single match of hers ever

99
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 4: since NXT.

100
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

101
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 4: I was a fan, you know, loved her stuff, and

102
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: I think she as a person just elevates herself every

103
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 4: single match. I feel like she's just like getting better

104
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: and better and better. So I have, gosh, how many

105
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: years of matches from her that I can watch and

106
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 4: study her. She only has about two years on me.

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: So and you know, in NXT, I didn't have a

108
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 4: bunch of I didn't have any title matches, I didn't

109
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: have any pay per view matches, So I feel like

110
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 4: she didn't have much to study on me, which helps

111
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: me I think I had all these years of experience

112
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: on her to like study and really know what she's

113
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: capable of. And for me, I don't think she had

114
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 4: any idea. So I don't think she knew I was

115
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 4: going to german her on the floor, german her off

116
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: the second rope. I think she had no idea about

117
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 4: some of this stuff. So I think I've been her

118
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 4: biggest challenge, and I think I've been her you know,

119
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: biggest surprise.

120
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think we need to get we need

121
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: to get Ivy and Rhea Part two soon, whether it

122
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: be WrestleMania, which that's what I'm hoping for, because could

123
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: you imagine and this actually transitions to the Royal Rumble,

124
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,119
Speaker 2: because I want to talk about that for a second,

125
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: because I mean, it's an exciting event for WWE fans.

126
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: It's who's going to show up, what's gonna happen.

127
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: It kind of starts the whole year of storylines for

128
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: wrestling fans in WWE, which I do think that Ivy

129
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: will win the Royal Rumble. We'll say that right now

130
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: on this show, because we do put good luck out

131
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: into the universe, no pressure at all.

132
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 3: But you know, how do you approach such a.

133
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: Unique match, and like, other than not getting thrown over

134
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: the top rope, what strategies do you employed to outlast.

135
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: Year opponents in the upcoming Royal Rumble match?

136
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: So this is another cool thing. I was an alternate

137
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: last year, so I was an XT. I was brought

138
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: to their mumble to be an alternate just in case

139
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: something happens. So I was there last year just watching

140
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: and just like observing everything. And so this year, you know,

141
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 4: I haven't been officially announced, so I don't know for sure,

142
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: but I hope to make that run. And you know,

143
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: just just watch watching her back, watching the people who

144
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: think I'll be an easy elimination, like Naya Jacks or

145
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: like some of these big girls that are in there,

146
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 4: who think they're gonna look at me and be like

147
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: she's an easy elimination. I'll just throw her out. Little

148
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: do they know, Like I'm like a spider monkey, and

149
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: I'm like not gonna like I'm gonna like hold onto

150
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 4: the ropes or become dead weight and like you can't

151
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 4: even pick me up, like I'm gonna, oh my gosh,

152
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: you no, Like it's I'm either gonna be the winner.

153
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be the final whatever, five four three, whatever, Like, no,

154
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 4: it's I'm not gonna be easy elimination at all.

155
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna know that you will win that that

156
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,520

160
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: You know, like you'll have people that'll have a fifty

161
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: minute run and they'll get eliminated, and like, I mean

162
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: that kind of puts you on the map and stuff

163
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: like that. So that one, you know, yeah, so I

164
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: mean like you could kind of come out of it

165
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: in a good light even if you're not not the winner.

166
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,520

Speaker 1: moment stand out for you?

174
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 4: So I've been with the Creed Brothers since the beginning

175
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: of my career and we had a six and tag

176
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: with the Schism this past year and these boys, I

177
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 4: don't flip. I'm I like ground sighting, I like kicking,

178
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: I like wrestling like on my feet. These boys had

179
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: me flipping diving the stuff that I never do and

180
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 4: they're just do Liers is like, yeah, I'll just like

181
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 4: throw you at them. I'm like, no, like this is crazy.

182
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 4: I was like my feet along on the ground and uh,

183
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 4: they just like they pushed me to like do stuff

184
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 4: I never do before, and I actually loved it and

185
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 4: it actually worked out great. But that definitely was something

186
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 4: that they pushed me so far outside my comfort zone

187
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 4: that I like freaked out. But you know, they're you

188
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 4: know there, always wanted me to do crazy stuff just

189
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 4: like they do. So but yeah, that probably was my

190
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 4: most memorable because it was the most scared it was.

191
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course the Creed Brothers actually gonna be

192
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,160

196
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: fun match as well. You know, the thing is I actually,

197
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: uh recently when ww when Rawl was in Nashville, I

198
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: saw the Creed brothers up front during that tag team

199
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: tournament thing, and like, I was just blown away of

200
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: them just going insane, like you said, doing flips, and

201
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't think even I that size

202
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: could do flips. And they're over here doing backflips and

203
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: moon salts and you know, jumping from the floor to

204
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: the third turnbuck.

205
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: And I'm like, how is that physically possible?

206
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

207
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Brutus is a big boy and he's doing

208
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 4: like moon salts and like flips. I'm like, I can't

209
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 4: even do that. Like I'm just so blown away by them.

210
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: And it's they're like the physical embodiment of like an

211
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: energy drink. I mean, it's just like, how are you

212
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: doing this stuff?

213
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 4: Like crazy?

214
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: Now? So here's kind of a fun thing that we

215
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: like to do on this show is we we like

216
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: to embrace technology. And of course everybody talks about chat

217
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: GPT and the robots. So I turned to our chat

218
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: GPT robot to ask Ivy Nile a question.

219
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: We never know what it's gonna be.

220
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 2: Most of the time, it's like how do you get

221
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: the journey into wrestling, which we all know how that went.

222
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: But this is the question that the robot said, if

223
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: you could tag team with any fictional character in the ring,

224
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: who would it be, and what would your ultimate finishing

225
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: move together be called.

226
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: It's pretty good fictional yeah.

227
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, okay, can like superheroes count?

228
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: Superheroes count any fictional character.

229
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 4: So if I were to pick a superhero, I'd pick Wolverine.

230
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 4: That's a good I don't I just I don't like

231
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: Wonder Woman's cool whatever, but I'm a huge Wolverine fan,

232
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 4: always been. So my finishes the dragon sleeper and uh,

233
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: let's see, do you guys have anything that comes to

234
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: your mind about that.

235
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: Wolf's din Nuh, maybe I don't know something like that.

236
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: That's a tough one. Now we're putting ourselves on the

237
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 3: spot trying to figure this one.

238
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's really good though, because I think like

239
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: he almost would kind of have a similar ground or

240
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: like a battle of set, like you have move set

241
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: and stuff like the grounded and more of the I

242
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: don't see Wolverine doing a lot of flips and stuff,

243
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: so like that would be good, like two brawlers and stuff.

244
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: Maybe something with the atom manium like a.

245
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, like his his kryptonite though, No, No, that's the

246
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: stuff that's made of his arm.

247
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: That's his metal in his arms, yeah, or his skeleton. Yeah,

248
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: maybe the automatium smash or something.

249
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: Or maybe what we'll do is once once everybody's watching

250
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: this on YouTube, if you could put in the comments

251
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: what the finishers should be in there? I lay it back,

252
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: So comments in the comments section down there.

253
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: There we go.

254
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you're a busy person. We don't want

255
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: to take up too much of your time. But you know,

256
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: outside of the ring, many WWE superstars have interest in hobbies,

257
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: as you could tell. Mine and Eli's hobby is collecting

258
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: belts and autograph Funko pops and whatnot. Are there any

259
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 2: personal passions or activities that you enjoyed that you know,

260
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: the WWE universe might not be aware of.

261
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 4: So during the summer, I'm I live in Florida, so

262
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 4: it's like warm a lot.

Speaker 3: That's kind of cold for Florida.

270
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,880

Speaker 2: But so if this wrestling thing doesn't work out at

284
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: the end of it, you could be a professional surfer.

285
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 4: I don't oh gosh, I don't want to have that happen.

Speaker 4: But I mean, like who knows.

287
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,240
