18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: tell you there is a very interesting thing. So I

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: did this at work yesterday and we had the Nash

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: he made association him and every Thursday we try to

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: get a dog adopted, and Seamus was there to help

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: us get the dog adopted and I told Seamus, I say, hey, man,

23
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna interview Drew McIntyre, your buddy here in just

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: a little bit. You want to kind of surprise him,

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: throw him off his game and bring you onto the interview.

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh yeah, fellow, we'll do it. And

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: that was a very horrible impression of Shamus. Please do

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: not judge me. But I start talking to Drew McIntyre

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, everything just went haywired during

30
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: the show and the quality. I did this from my

31
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: laptop microphone because I did not have my home studio

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: setup and we were doing a video and the cameras

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: in our radio studio weren't set up just yet, so

34
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: I did it all on my laptop. But enjoy what

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: we think is probably now going to be one of

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: our top five interviews. Drew McIntyre talks about SummerSlam and

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: all the cool events it's coming to Detroit, Charlotte and Dallas,

38
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: and then something happens with shame. So here you go

39
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: enjoy why from the parts Unknown Studios into the Dumble

40

62
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, now we can see each other. Last time we

63
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: were talking about the book. We'll look like, let's talk

64
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: about money in the bank real quick. You know you

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: qualified for money in the bank. There's still some other

66
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: people qualifying. Is there anybody that you're worried about getting

67
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: in your way to getting back that WWE championship?

68
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 5: I mean in the money in the bank a lot

69
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 5: of their match. Realistically, everybody, these are matches that aren't

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 5: exactly fun to be part of. I used to love

71
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 5: watching them as a fan, and I realized very quickly

72
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 5: resume at twenty six my very first one, that they

73
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 5: freaking hurt. Ladders aren't fun. You can go at home

74
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 5: depot and start poking at them. That's what you feel like,

75
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 5: that's just what they are, the legite stunt ladders, And

76
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: so realistically, everyone that's in that match, be it Riddle, Ricochet,

77
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: who's going to do some crazy stuff. I'm sure Marson

78
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 5: will do some crazy stuff, and he's in there too,

79
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 5: Biggie who's on fire right now. Everybody is a threat,

80
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 5: and anyone can win that match at any times. All

81
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 5: it takes is being up on top of the ladder,

82
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: you get shoved, fly off the top rope, you go

83
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 5: through a bunch of tables. You're down there when someone

84
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 5: else runs up the win the match. All right, strategy,

85
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 5: go on, even pose myself, not get carried away, not

86
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 5: try and bar everyone too quick at any sense. I

87
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 5: just go sit in the stands with the fans for

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 5: twenty minutes, let everyone else do the work, and then

89
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: walk in, but I get carried away and I like.

90
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: Beating people up too much.

91
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: Right now, can I can I ask you a question?

92
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: Are you worried about.

93
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 5: A Yeah, I was just about to text you and

94
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 5: I was like, you know, i'll guy, then I'll oh

95
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 5: you back after need one. If I keep hearing your accent,

96
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 5: then I'm gonna start talking with a thicker accent. Look

97
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 5: at that thing in your face. Look at that. That's

98
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 5: a massive improvement. Actually, look at me, Look at your face.

99
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: So are you worried about this guy coming to get

100
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: that money in the bank?

101
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: Briefcase?

102
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 5: I mean a little bit like he's won it before.

103
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 5: You know's how to get the job done. Like you know,

104
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 5: we've known each other for so many years.

105
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: I'm so close.

106
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 5: We met when I was like nineteen and he was

107
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 5: about thirty seven at the time, and so much together.

108
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: You heard it fifty days.

109
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 5: We threw so much together and then we're unrolled. One

110
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 5: week he just kicked me in the face and then

111
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: we batter each other there with three matches in a row,

112
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 5: which was a lot of fun. So if he wants

113
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 5: to show up, Jame, if you want to show up

114
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 5: at one in the bank, wait till I win the

115
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 5: match first, and then we get a little fight if

116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 5: you want to fight me. A summer slab, but that's

117
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 5: the only thing. Our matches messed with. Three significant matches

118
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 5: we laid into each other. We set a new level

119
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 5: of physicality that nobody can match because we can mat

120
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 5: crimes on each other and that ring. If anybody thinks

121
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 5: anything about wrestling, I'm not sure they got my wrestling.

122
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 5: That's not for me. Put on a Shamous versus McIntyre

123
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 5: match and then they'll like, that's somebody as real as Again,

124
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 5: we deserve the crowd.

125
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm saying, of course, you've got a very kickable face.

126
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: And this is this is I think we're v and

127
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: Drew mckins.

128
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't comber. I think we're getting set up for SummerSlam,

129
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: which is going to be in Las Vegas August twenty first,

Speaker 4: Like wrestling.

168
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 5: It was good with the limited capacity crowd, it was

169
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 5: awesome we could put that on, but it was a

170
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 5: bit of a tease because we had to go back

171
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 5: inside the thunderbime. These live shows we're leading up to

172

174
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 5: It's going to truly feel that we're back to normal.

175
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 5: Everyone's going to getting mental and hopefully I'm kicking him

176
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 5: in the face.

177
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: I'll slap the bleeding Scottish head off. You stop the

178
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: well off, Yeah, right off your head? Look at.

179
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Is there is there any chance that we get the

180
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: Broken Dreams theme song back in summer.

181
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: I want to go see Summer Slam, Go see the

182
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: One and Only Shames the Celtic Warrior, because that's all

183
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: that matters. Not go there, cheap imitation rip off for

184
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: the Celtic Warrior Summers the greatest of all time.

185
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: Home see the fella.

186
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 4: I don't hear anybody asking about written in your face.

187
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 5: It's a shameful thing. Loves their heads. It was always

188
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 5: talking with broken freaking dreams. Okay, So one of these

189
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 5: days that music is going to come back, because I

190
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 5: hear this question all the time. I see every day

191
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 5: in social media. He's a blundy n and like, one

192
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 5: of these days I'm going to get approved. I'm going

193
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 5: to have it for a show. I'm positive you know,

194
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: we still have the rights to it, and I'm going

195
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 5: to convince management to let me use and everybody in

196
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 5: the crowd better know the words to that song, because

197
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 5: if I go out there and everyone is like, what's that?

198
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 5: And I come back and you told us everyone's gonna

199
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 5: know every word to every song, then I'm gonna be

200
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 5: let down. So everyone start learning the lyrics because eventually

201
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 5: I will get that song and I will ensure Seamus

202
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 5: will never have Lobster Head as his music ever again.

203
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: Of course, Seamus is going to be rolling through this

204
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: A couple of dates up on some some cities that

205
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm on do a radio show in UH. Monday July nineteenth,

Speaker 1: as well.

214
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 2: Just to see the Caltholic Warrior, I'm always a part

215
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: through my guitar.

216
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 4: That's all about.

217
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 5: I wish there was a mute button for him in

218
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 5: real life. This isn't like all the time.

219
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 4: This isn't just a performance. I used to live with them.

220
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 5: I would be lying there sometimes after a night out

221
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 5: in Credit like it was a don't drinking party anymore.

222
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 5: But I used to hungover his hell eight in the morning.

223
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 5: He would mark himself into the room, knowing he was

224
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 5: hungover himself, just to terrorize me with a guitar play,

225
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 5: singing and self his voice and he cannot sing.

226
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 6: To me, Oh my gosh, that's incredible. So this is

227
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 6: kind of bouncing off SummerSlam a little bit. Last year

228
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 6: WrestleMania went to two nights and got a lot of

229
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 6: critical acclaim for that. Did it again this year? Would

230
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 6: you be open for more events going to two nights

231
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 6: like a Summer Slam, especially like this year being the

232
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 6: first time ever in an NFL stadium. I mean that

233
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 6: could be a huge thing. Are you open for more

234
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 6: two night pay per views or do you think it's

235
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 6: just best reserved for WrestleMania.

236
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I liked the two night forma obviously,

237
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 5: it was created because of.

238
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 4: The times we're living, and it gave everyone.

239
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 5: An entire weekend of WrestleMania when there was no other

240
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 5: original content at the time. But I think it's really

241
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 5: cool to have like a WrestleMania weekend or maybe a

242
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 5: Summer Slam weekend.

243
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 4: As much as.

244
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 5: A love WrestleMania and performing on it, I couldn't imagine

245
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 5: being in the crowd for some times up to seven

246
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 5: hours at a time, you know. I kin't of imagine

247
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 5: it on the last and one of those events when

248
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 5: it's such a long event. I remember Wrestling Roman. It

249
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 5: rested me at thirty five, and when we're on a

250
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 5: little later, and you can feel with the crowd getting

251
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 5: a little burned out as of the night goes on

252
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 5: because I've just been there for so long. If we

253
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 5: broke it into two nights, you've got those short events.

254
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 5: The crowd, I've got their energy from start to finish.

255
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 5: They can pick a night, they can pick both nights,

256
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 5: and they can make a weekend of it. So I'm

257
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 5: all about it. But again I don't understand the business

258
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 5: behind it and what makes the most sense, so I

259
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 5: can't make that decision. But for me personally, guess he

260
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: is for sure.

261
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: So we did a thing on Twitter and we asked

262
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: them fans if they had any questions, if they wanted

263
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: to ask Drew. And this is the time that people

264
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: get to talk to you through through social media and

265
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: our friends over there from A to the K.

266
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 6: What you're talking about? He's got a gorgeous voice.

267
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 5: That's get potentially, why am I moving to nash How

268
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 5: are you guys?

269
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 6: You just want to knock on the door with his guitar, I'm.

270
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 4: Going to turn around and move back out.

271
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: Real quick. So we grabbed some fan questions before we

272
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: let you go. So our friends from A to the

273
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: K Wrestling Show. Anthony wants to know, do you think

274
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: it's harder for a British wrestler to stand out to

275
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: w w E and go on to break America?

276
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 4: Maybe at one point.

277
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Uh.

278
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 4: These days, it really doesn't.

279
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 5: Matter like where you're from, what your background is in

280
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 5: any capacity, if you have got the talent, if you're

281
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 5: offering something different, if you resonate with the fans, you're

282
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 5: going to get the opportunity. There's literally no restrictions these days,

283
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 5: and we've seen it all across the board. Specifically, you

284
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 5: know in the women's division. Look at WrestleMania. A couple

285
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 5: of years ago, the women may event Mania and back

286
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 5: in the day when No, Seamus and I started used

287
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 5: to be the women were only allocaid very few minutes

288
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 5: on the show, and you want it to be on

289
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 5: like right after them because it kind of brought the

290
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 5: crowd down. It wasn't you know, a significant match. It

291
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 5: was a different kind of feeling it gave the crowd.

292
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 5: These days, you don't want to be after the women.

293
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 5: They're so incredibly talented, they're putting on such incredible matches.

294
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: They might burn out the crowd at the time you

295
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 4: get out there.

296
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 5: So it is awesome just to see everyone get the

297
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 5: chance based on talent now over everything else.

298
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: For sure, And of course once again, SummerSlam is going

299
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: down in Las Vegas, full capacity. WWE Universe going to

300
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: be in the building August twenty first. You can still

301
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: grab tickets, I do believe, or is it is it

302
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: sold out already or is there still some tickets available?

303
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: Right?

304
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 5: I believe that something is still available. I heard some

305
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 5: of the numbers that are selling and I was really

306
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 5: taken it back, like I cannot wait just to see

307
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 5: the visual of this many people inside and the Allegiance Stadium.

308
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: Just get the tickets as quick as you can. If

309
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 5: you're making a vacation out of it, It's going to

310
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 5: be a fun time. It's Saturday night, it's Vegas. You

311
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: can literally go check out WWB part the show, and

312
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 5: if you want to go afterwards. Vegas never closes.

313
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,680
