WEBVTT - Pod Meets WrestleMania: Kit Wilson

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Will.

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I was very nervous about this interview, mostly for you.

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I fear that this guest will sense something about your

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 2>attitude and haul it out. Fingers crossed though that that

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 2>doesn't happen, but I can't make any promises. In twenty

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty two, he made his NXT debut alongside Elton Prince

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 2>as one half of the duo Pretty Deadly, who not

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>only became tag team champions but also somehow made wearing

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 2>extreme crop tops look stylish. Their flamboyant wardrobe, annoying confidence,

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>and willingness to cheat turn them into heel favorites, eventually

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 2>moving on to WWE SmackDown while leaning into a campy

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 2>gimmick somewhere between Zoolander and a Y two K boy band.

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>But when Prince suffered a severe neck injury in May

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 2>of last year, it left our guest in a conundrum.

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 2>What should he do now without a partner he had

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.479
<v Speaker 2>exclusively wrestled with for ten straight years, And that's when

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the phone rang asking kid, are you there? And yes,

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>he was indeed there. He's now taken a serious bop

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>of a theme song and some impressive comedic chops to

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>turn a tough situation into gold. You see, his new

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 2>mission is to rid the WWE roster of toxic masculinity.

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 2>They can't handle someone like him, someone who moisturizes his skin,

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>or listens to women when they talk, or can grind

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 2>their hips in a very sexy manner. They are jealous

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 2>and I gotta be honest. I think he's right, but

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll let you be the judge. Welcome to Pod meets World.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 2>A man who knows if you've been naughty, nice or toxic.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 2>The amazing Kit Wilson.

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that was incredible. Thank you. I love that.

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm so happy to have you here.

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>You can I just get that again.

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:15.799
<v Speaker 2>One more time?

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's just not the positivity. I'll go again. Thank

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>you for having me.

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well, thank you. I'm going to ask that you

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 2>take it easy on Will. But if something bothers you,

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 2>please speak up. He needs to know when he's being problematic.

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>You already.

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't moisturize, No, I gotta be honest. Strike one massive.

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.679
<v Speaker 3>Although the double nipple crop top.

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I saw the pie. That's pretty styling. You know, we

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 1>got we got a lot of we got a lot

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>of to know.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 3>For me, dogs, I don't have the body structure to

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 3>pull it off, but someday I might.

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 1>And that's the first shirt I'm gonna I think, put

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>it on. It will you to get the body? Yeah,

0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>there you go. That is a bold move.

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>That's right. You got to reverse the order. Don't wait

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>for the body, put the top on, get the body.

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well I want to see pictures of myself and that,

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 3>but I'm the only one who get to see is

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:08.639
<v Speaker 3>the thing?

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Kit, As two people who have spent a lot

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 2>of time on sitcom sets, I think we can both

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>tell when someone has great comedic timing, and you have

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 2>great comedic timing. Have you always been performative? Were you

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 2>a class clown?

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Ooh that is an interesting question. Well, first of all,

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>thank you, I think, well just to part, just to

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>say good things at the sitcom. What an art form? Yeah,

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's so many growing up being English watching

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the American ones, but we've obviously got our own English

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>ones that maybe didn't make it over. What a fantastic world.

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Ye'll just say that. Yes, I was real shy when

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I was when I was growing up, really shy, really

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>quite introverted. But I do always think I had like

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>something in me that was kind of a bit class

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>clowney or a bit that wanted a bit of a spotlight.

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think when I was in like a safe

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>space of like a best friend or like a smaller

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>friend within the classroom, I would be a bit more like,

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, speak up and make a comment. And it

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.839
<v Speaker 1>was quite funny. I was always too scared to kind

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>of be the class clown. Yeah, too much fear.

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Wait, I have to ask because you're talking about

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 3>British sitcoms, which is some of my favorites. So were

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 3>you more an American sitcom fan or a British sitcom fan?

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>American? Okay, Yeah, I really was. I had a massive

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>phase when I first discovered the US Office they were

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>at maybe season four, okay, and then I was just

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.840
<v Speaker 1>all in Parks and rec thirty Rock maybe the most underrated.

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I had a real big phase. But two of my

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>favorite sitcoms are English in between US, Gavin and Stacy.

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Gavin and Stacey was one of my favorites. I think

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Gavin and Stacey for me every episode ten out of ten. Yeah,

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I agree with quality wise, do you know Gavin Stacy?

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 3>It was a Welsh sitcom and it was just phenomenally.

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 2>What's the story, Like, what's the it's about.

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 3>It's a kind of a it's a ram commie kind

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 3>of sitcom with the best friend and all that stuff

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.160
<v Speaker 3>about Gavin and Stacey and what's his name? Late night

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 3>host James James Gordon started on like that was like

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 3>one of his big breaks. It's really great.

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.359
<v Speaker 1>It's really good, and they really nailed the kind of

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>subtle intricities of just the culture, you know, the really

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>small things, and I think that's what makes it so

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>funny as well. Great show.

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Did you ever go to old school with like the

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 3>young ones and faulty towers and stuff like that.

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 1>No, my my dad was watching them, so they'll be

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>on there, but I think you are. That's me, thank

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 1>you for my granddad. My dad was too young. They

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>were always on and like only fools and horses for example, Uh, Mash,

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I remember, Actually I love it. Favorite shoe of all time,

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>number one, number one of all time. Here we go. Yeah,

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 1>you can't remember them being on.

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Bonding with his dad now? Exactly, Papa, I love Mash

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Papa on.

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:58.799
<v Speaker 1>The television device exactly. Great, were already best friend.

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Growing up? Did you always like funny Wrestlers. Was William

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Regal ever an inspiration?

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I was to the other day,

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>William Regal? I love him, He's done so much for me.

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't like him. No, no, I didn't like him.

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>And I think because when I fully wrestling was quite

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>hard to get on the TV for me, and then

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>I eventually found it on the internet and I'd be

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>on the WE dot com website every day and I'd

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>be watching rending clips on YouTube. I think when I

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>got William Regal like full time watching weekly, he was

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>just a villain. He'd lost the funniness. I was in

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the wrong stretch. So I didn't like him.

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 3>How old were you when you were watching those clips

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 3>and really finding WWE?

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>So I think I was watching, you know, from the

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>age of like five with my brother and we were

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>just talking and it would randomly be on like a

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Saturday night or Saturday morning on the TV. But I

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.039
<v Speaker 1>think we're too young to figure out like what channel

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>is and tune regularly, so we'd be in and out.

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.840
<v Speaker 1>We'd watch bits. I faintly, faintly remember the Booker t

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Supermarket brawl. Oh yeah, But then it would have been

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>about two thousand and six or maybe seven, when like

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I got it weekly weekly, and I was watching everything

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>I could, So it was just on the rise of

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>like John Cena. Yeah, I mean we were because we were.

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Just having a conversation with all the people that we've interviewed.

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 3>It that one of the things that ties you all together,

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 3>it seems to is this. Nobody found this in their twenties.

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 3>This is something that as a kid, this was just

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 3>a lifestyle and there's something you saw and went that I.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Need, I need to do that.

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And so did you know right away that this

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 3>was the world you had to be a part of.

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just something just something did click, you know. It

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>was you know, you're a little boy, you love like

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of like fighting, you do. Like I was watching

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>anything that had fighting in was I was drawn to,

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, teenage mutants, turtles, other stuff that's fighting. But

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 1>then there was something about WWE that was just it

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>had it all. It was entertainment, you know. I liked

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the guys that could go. But there was there was

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 1>something always drawing me to John Cena. There was something

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>so infatuated, infactuating about Kine or the Undertaker. So there

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>always was something drawing, and then you get older, your

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>friends fall out of it. Yeah, and then suddenly you're eighteen,

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you're the only one that likes wrestling still, and you think, well,

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm going to quit my life to this.

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>It's the only thing I've consistently liked in my life was.

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 3>The lifestyle of a wrestler. Something you were prepared for me, Like,

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 3>did you have any idea what it was going to

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 3>actually be like to get into the world or was

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 3>it something where we were like, oh my god, this

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.679
<v Speaker 3>I no one could prepare you for what's coming.

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think a little bit of both. Again, being

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a massive fan, I would listen to the podcast and

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>watch the interview, so I I kind of knew to

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>a certain extent. And then, especially signing a WE contract,

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>you kind of feel like you know what you're getting

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>in for. You know, if it all works out in

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>best case scenario, you're kind of giving a lot of

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>your life to that. I was prepared for that, but

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>there's so many other little tiny bits that you're not

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>prepared for. Elton, for example, tag team partner miss he

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.839
<v Speaker 1>really struggles with the travel. Okay that can I can

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>really get to him? You know? He just had a

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>newborn baby, so that's going to be a big part

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>of it, right, yeah, But he was always for straight

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 1>and then a plane delay happens, another plane die happens.

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 1>It just gets to and rattles him and as it

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>would anyone. But I don't know. For whatever reason, I've

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>managed to expect it. I know what's going to happen

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>is going to happen, right, I'm kind of I'm kind

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of cruising. I'm yeah, yeah, And it's a dream to

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>have this job. So you know, I'm good. I'm good.

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 2>You and Elton have been wrestling together since twenty fifteen,

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 2>and you like back in the UK. How did you

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 2>two meet?

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what? I went to a little wrestling

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 1>school in Kent. He went to a little wrestling school

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 1>in Essex. We maybe like an hour apart, but we

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>had friends from the school that went to both of them,

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and they'd always say, here's this guy at this other

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>school who looks just like you, moves just like you,

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>wrestlers just like you, but he's blonde. And then he

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.079
<v Speaker 1>would tell he would tell me that he would exactly

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the same thing, but they'd say, it's just a brunette guy.

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.839
<v Speaker 1>A brunette and we had different hair at the time.

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>We had short, short, back in size, like spiky hair.

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>And then we eventually met wib Be six months later

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and we kind of did the like the yeah kind

0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>of the point, and then we did we wrestled exactly

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the same. Well, we actually wrestled just like one of

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>our favorites at the time, Sammy Zain. We both just

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>did Samy Zay's mooseets. That was another thing to bond us.

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, we just kept on finding reasons to bond

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and we always have little stories. We jump back on

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>moments where we knew like our friendship like increased. It

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.559
<v Speaker 1>was one moment in particular where we both told each

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>other that Ross was our favorite friends character, great character,

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and we felt like no one else like Ross Ross

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>is the worst. And from that moment we were kind

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>of like, I think this is working. We're going to

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>be fine. We're going to be fine.

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 4>That's great.

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I know you've had a few names together, Greased, Lightning,

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the Collective, and then you landed on Pretty Deadly. Tell

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 2>us about that process. How do tag teams pick a

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 2>name and where did pretty Deadly come from?

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, so there's a great English photographer called Robin as

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Beyond Gorilla. He does some great work. We were actually

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>trying a car ride with him and we were discussing

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>these names. We've gone for a few. As you said,

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Grease Lightning was our very first name because I started

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 1>off with a greece esque character because I love Greece.

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Greese is great, one of the best films ever. Yeah,

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and then he was called Lightning Lewis at the time,

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 1>so we were Grease Lightning. But we were kind of

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>developing along things start to click. We both like Ross Geller,

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, magic is in the air, and we're trying

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.719
<v Speaker 1>to think of a name, and we're throwing ideas out.

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.599
<v Speaker 1>I really liked the idea of having a kind of

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>like a band name. I feel like a lot of

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>band names sometimes don't make sense, but that's what that's

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>what works. It feels a bit like rock and roll,

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you know. I like the idea of maybe having just numbers.

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, all of my favorite bands is the nineteen

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>seventy five. I thought maybe there's something there. But then

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 1>we realized what we wanted was to come and work

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>for the WWE, So we kind of wanted a very

0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>simple WWE esque name Robin the photographer. We're on the

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>car journey pretty deadly because you're pretty and you're deadly.

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I said, thank you, Robin, I'll take I'll take that.

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>And it just it just felt like it fit. It

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>really does, you know. It kind of felt like it

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>describes our characters in a simple form but enough to

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of hopefully get the point across. It Just it

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 1>just kind of felt right, and it kind of lingered.

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 1>It lingered, and then yeah, we chose the name. That's great. Okay,

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 1>So I have to ask, was Sandy dead the whole time?

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:27.560
<v Speaker 4>Mmmm?

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>It's tough, right, It's a hard one because you know

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>what I'm talking about. Well, I was gonna say my head,

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>my head one I would say no, okay, I'll say no,

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.199
<v Speaker 1>I'll say she's living because I want that girl to live. Okay.

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 1>So there's so the movie Grease.

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, in the beginning, she she he saves her

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.079
<v Speaker 3>from drowning, right, and then at the end they fly

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 3>off together in the car and the internet is actually

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 3>saying what happened is she actually died at the beginning,

0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 3>and it's her going into heaven. The entire thing is

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 3>is her getting into heaven. And then they fly off it.

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.680
<v Speaker 3>So the question for Grease fans is, was Sandy dead

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 3>the entire movie here?

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 1>What would you say now knowing alive?

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Or because it does make the flying in a car or.

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Flying stood out to me as a child I watched

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>on DVD over and over. Yeah, that bit was always

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a bit.

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're like, wait, why I think she died at

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 3>the beginning, I vote first, she said at the piece.

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can't be the tie breaker, but if I

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 2>had to, I would say I think she was dead.

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>You have to watch again.

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, watch again.

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 3>And when you watch that with with that in your head,

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.200
<v Speaker 3>it kind of changes how you watch the movie.

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 4>It's really weird.

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, huh, I've never heard that. Many say that the

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 2>best wrestlers are just people being themselves but turned up

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 2>to eleven. Yeah, yeah, far off is Kit Wilson from

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 2>your real personality.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I think we're pretty close ever being honest, and I

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>was actually, again, it's Wrestlmating weekend. We're talking a lot,

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm talking a bit too much, maybe, And

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.559
<v Speaker 1>I came to the realization that I think pretty deadly

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 1>was an exaggeration. I always thought it was exageration of us,

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>but I think pretty deadly was an exaggeration of our friendship,

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.079
<v Speaker 1>our relationship. You know, when we got together, we're just

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of giddy and excited in jokey and I think

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you exaggerated that and got that on TV in the

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 1>obnoxious way. Right. So then this doing Kit Wilson a

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 1>man against toxic masculinity. Yeah, there's a lot of things

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that sit very very true to me. In England, sports

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 1>aren't really as big as they are in America. You know,

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>we have football, we have soccer, but we don't have

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not all tied to the colleges. It's not this

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>massive thing. So sports kind of flew by me. I

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't into sports at all, so wrestling was the only

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>thing I had. So for that and for many other reasons,

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't grow up very jockey or I didn't grow

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>up very typically masculine in a way, you know, And

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 1>then I found myself really enjoying a lot of things

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 1>that leaned the other way. And then I guess, without

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>realizing it, that's when this kind of character. When I

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>was pitching ideas and they liked this one. Thank god

0:14:58.360 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>they like this one, because this one was truest to

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 1>me right, and now I find myself pushing, climbing the company,

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, shooting off a trajectory. It feels real to me,

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I feel like I'm in this and for

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the for the first time, I couldn't feel more real

0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>within both the TV show and the behind the scenes

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and everything that's going on, I'm kind of pushing for it.

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of truth within the things that I say.

0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Is it was it a big transition from wrestling as

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 3>a tag team partner for so long to being solo.

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was terrifying, really really scary because we're, you know,

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 1>being real life best friends. You lose your support, you

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>lose your emotional support, blanket your best friend. And I

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 1>think with that, you know, it was such a big

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>change to go into too singles competition. But I think

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize how much we we leaned on each

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>other in a good way and somewhat of a bad

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.120
<v Speaker 1>way as well, you know, not not a terrible way,

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 1>but just in the sense that again it was it

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 1>was a safety thing. So maybe we didn't push ourselves

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 1>in certain areas where now I have no choice because

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm on my own. So it was really scary, It

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>really was. It felt like the first day of school,

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 1>those first couple of ones. Sure, but now I'm in

0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 1>it and I'm fighting for myself and I'm fighting for him,

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm kind of I'm ready and I'm switched on.

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>But those first few months, those first few matches, even

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 1>wrestling wise, you can't tag out right, you're out of breath.

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>You need a little second. You can tag out now

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm just in it. Yes, it's all on me. So yeah,

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 1>big kind of differences. Yeah, it really is.

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 3>And did you We always talked about how when we

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 3>work together for seven years, you develop where it's a

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 3>language where you don't have to say anything and you

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 3>know exactly what the other person is going to do.

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Was were you ever shocked or was it just you

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>guys knew each other.

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 3>You knew when one was going to zig, the other

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 3>was going to zag, and you just knew what was

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 3>going to happen every time.

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:40.560
<v Speaker 1>That was it? Yeah, exactly, isaacd and he loved to zag. Yeah.

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>You just again, you spend so much time together, you

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>start morphing into each other the language you use, and

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, our big catchphrase at the time was yes, boy,

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that just started off as a thing we'd say to

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>each other. We just hype each other up before matches

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 1>or in real life situations that weren't eything to do

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>with wrestling. We'd be like, yes boy, yes boy. It

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 1>just became like yeah, this magnetic thing that hyped us up,

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and then it just kind of bled into the television show.

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's part of those relationships. You know,

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:05.360
<v Speaker 1>good things come.

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk to you about your theme song,

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Man Up. It is an absolute bop and the WWE

0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 2>universe loves it just as much as I do. How

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 2>did that come together?

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, again, I go singles. You know, I'm crying, I'm scared,

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm lonely. That's not what to do. But I started

0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 1>realizing I need to do something, so I'm pushing. I'm

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>pushing to kind of get matches on the main event

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 1>TV show, which is kind of we filmed before SmackDown,

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and I just thought, I'm going to try a lot

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.479
<v Speaker 1>of things here character wise, I'm going to try and

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>explore myself. And then I'm coming out to the pretty

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 1>deadly tag team theme song, which doesn't feel right at all.

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>It just kind of feels foreign and it doesn't feel

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>like it's portraying the message to the audience either. So

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.120
<v Speaker 1>then I start asking for a new theme song. Then

0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I get in contact with the music guy and he says,

0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.360
<v Speaker 1>what would you like? He calls me and I say,

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.760
<v Speaker 1>can I send you a detailed email? And you never

0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 1>really know how much detail they want, but I just

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 1>gave them as much detail as possible. So I was

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.199
<v Speaker 1>giving song references. I was time stamping. I knew I

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted like a kind of signature intro. It's quite big

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of in a lot of popular theme songs,

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you get like a popular intro, so I knew I

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 1>wanted that. And it's a great Charlie XCX song called

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.959
<v Speaker 1>Guest with Billie Eilish that has a fantastic opening, so

0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I used that as inspiration and that's kind of got

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 1>the iconic intro that I have now. So it was

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.880
<v Speaker 1>just kind of building. I put my ideas across, they

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 1>came back, I went back, they came back, back and forth,

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 1>back and forth, and we kind of ended up with

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 1>what we got and it's fantastic cool. I couldn't be happier. Yeah,

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I really feel the energy now and I really feel

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.920
<v Speaker 1>like it portrays what I'm trying to be to an audience,

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 1>or at least the vibe.

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's really quite a decision for a wrestler to

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 2>pick like a bubblegum pop song like for an entrance,

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 2>and it has really paid off. What music do you

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 2>listen to or in general in your downtime? What are

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:53.199
<v Speaker 2>you listening to?

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I like a lot of English singer songwriters,

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.439
<v Speaker 1>but I like a lot of pop, like a lot

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.960
<v Speaker 1>of girly pop. Audrey Hobert at the moment, her album

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Who Is the Clown fantastic album. It's so upbeat, it's

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 1>so poppy. There's just a lot of good stuff.

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Wet Leg is an English band against Charlie XCX. There's

0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 1>just a lot of their vibrant girl pop that I

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:16.639
<v Speaker 1>think I kind of have a good time listening to,

0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:18.920
<v Speaker 1>and I felt like it represents me at the moment.

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 1>And again with the toxic masculinity thing me on TV,

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm trying to play off a lot

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 1>of my male counterparts. They're all trying to act like

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the big tough guy. They've got a lot of kind

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of tough music, so I feel like I'm the opposite

0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>of that, and I want to be the epitome of

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the opposite of that. So coming out to this kind

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.680
<v Speaker 1>of girly music, maybe dressing in pink, maybe I wear

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 1>pearls instead of their ice out chains, and I will

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.440
<v Speaker 1>beat them doing it and show that I'm more of

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.199
<v Speaker 1>a man doing it that way than they think that

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.199
<v Speaker 1>they are because they have some kind of perception on

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.360
<v Speaker 1>what I'm doing. I'm trying to make a point here.

0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to prove a point.

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, where did the catchphrase you are toxic? Come from?

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.479
<v Speaker 1>Having love to ask the toxic men? You know, I

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.119
<v Speaker 1>just see to any of them. Yeah, I think it

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.439
<v Speaker 1>comes from a lot of conversations with certain people, and

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking it inside my head and I'm thinking, damn,

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>how have you just said that out loud? How have

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.399
<v Speaker 1>you just said that to another person? And then fortunately

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 1>this character is a little bit an outlet where I

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:16.880
<v Speaker 1>can maybe on TV tell a few people off, call

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 1>them out for being toxic. So watch yourself. Yeah I'm good,

0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:23.119
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, just everyone a lot of toxic masculinity and

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I was just getting anger and anger at least on

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.879
<v Speaker 1>the show. So you are toxic? Yeah, just kind of

0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 1>came out of me, and it kind of it felt

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 1>like it clicked with the with the audience. You know,

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I say toxic and I kind of hear a little echo, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Is.

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>That when you knew it was working, Like the first

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.679
<v Speaker 2>time you heard the audience echo it back to you? Like,

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.240
<v Speaker 2>when did you know we've got something?

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 1>There was kind of moments like that. And another thing

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>was just even in the I was talking earlier doing

0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:53.880
<v Speaker 1>those matches and those shows before kind of getting back

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 1>on SmackDown properly doing them and then coming back in

0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the locker room kind of giving me

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.119
<v Speaker 1>feedback and saying that bit was really cool or maybe

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.360
<v Speaker 1>there was something there. You know, there's a few people

0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I would say, help me out. I don't out them

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.640
<v Speaker 1>for me such good people. You know, yeah that's fair

0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 1>because they are toxic, but you know, maybe there's some

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>good in them. But yeah, just the feedback from the fans,

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 1>those little things where you hear catchphrase get repeated, and

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 1>just from peers kind of saying that there was something there.

0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe try and do that next week. So the next

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:24.000
<v Speaker 1>week I kind of went down that avenue and we've

0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 1>got something good.

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.160
<v Speaker 2>What has been what is working with jelly Roll bin

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:30.439
<v Speaker 2>like he is like the perfect toxic foil for you,

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and he seems very happy to be there and to

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.000
<v Speaker 2>be putting in the work. So what's it been like

0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 2>for you.

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I got mixed emotions for jelly Roll, let me say that,

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I think, and at this point I spent some good

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:42.399
<v Speaker 1>time with him. I think I could tell you some

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 1>things about him that would make you like him. I

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 1>think in a different life there's some things about him

0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 1>that would make me like him. However, this man is toxic.

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:58.399
<v Speaker 1>This man disgusts me. Grammy Award winning artist superstar. We

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.439
<v Speaker 1>never really got country music too much in England, but

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.159
<v Speaker 1>then come into this country. I kind of again. I

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:05.720
<v Speaker 1>love music, so I'm listening to all sorts. So I

0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 1>liked jelly Roll yeah before he came to SmackDown. It's

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the road to WrestleMania. I'm an up and coming superstar.

0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you're taking my spot. Yeah, I feel

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.159
<v Speaker 1>like you're kind of getting in my way. So I

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 1>confront him. I give him some beautiful poetry. You know,

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:21.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm a reflective guy. I'm on my journals, you know,

0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:27.360
<v Speaker 1>give him some. He comes back with yo mummut jokes toxic, toxic, toxic.

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't like him, but to your point, the man

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 1>loves wrestling, so he's putting in the effort. You know,

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 1>he wants to be here, and he wants to be

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:38.120
<v Speaker 1>here for the right reason. So I commend him for

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:40.239
<v Speaker 1>the heart that he puts into it, cause I think

0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a big part of being a w superstars. You

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 1>love this, Yeah, you know, you've always loved this, so

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 1>when you're out there, I think that shines through. So

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll give him points for that, but I take him

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 1>all away for a lot of other reasons.

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 2>And for you and Dan Housen to be on this

0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of meteoric rise together at the same time, What

0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 2>has that been like? Dan Housen's first win was against Kid.

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's lovely to be given these big, these big

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 1>guys that first big wins. You know, it's nice to

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:11.199
<v Speaker 1>be there for that moment. In a sense, Dan Housen,

0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what is he like the w W mascot. Now,

0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he's he's doing fantastic because he cursed

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 1>me when he's cursed me too. Yeah, I mean, I

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 1>mean he's taking over. He's doing fantastically. I like to

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 1>think I'm on a similar trajectory. It's going great again.

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know. If he gets in my business,

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.399
<v Speaker 1>that's where that's when the water starts muddying for me,

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:36.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, when he gets in my way. Yeah, I

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 1>like him. I like him at a distance exactly.

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:39.479
<v Speaker 2>There you go.

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 1>That's fair. I think this is.

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Your first WrestleMania weekend without Elton. Is it bittersweet?

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is bittersweet, I think. And last year, amongst

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>the business, we managed to actually get out and see

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of shows together and again being best friends

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 1>in real life. It's just nice to have those moments.

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.679
<v Speaker 1>So I don't get those moments this week, you know.

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 1>And there's again, there's little it's the in betweens, you know,

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:04.720
<v Speaker 1>it's the little bus rides or the airport rides where

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 1>you have those nice moments together. So, yes, it's hard

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:11.800
<v Speaker 1>without him. But again I'm on my own. But my

0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:16.200
<v Speaker 1>wife's here. That's cool that I've got a partner. That's good.

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 1>You got a partner here with you. Yeah, exactly. And

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 1>they're both I call them both my attractive blondes. And

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:24.880
<v Speaker 1>you said we just had a child. Yeah, that one's

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:27.359
<v Speaker 1>got a little baby boy or a girl little girl? Okay,

0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:28.440
<v Speaker 1>So I was gonna say, if it was a boy,

0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 1>would you help the child to be raised?

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 1>You bet I would. Okay, yeah, I would making sure

0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that the uncle's there would help out. Well, we just

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>got I just you know, I'm a man and I

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:41.120
<v Speaker 1>love men, but I think we need to raise our game.

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of people lacking, a lot of boys

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 1>in a man's world. I can say that some boys

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 1>need to you know, come into themselves as adults.

0:24:52.160 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I can see that for sure. Are you looking forward

0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 2>to Elton coming back or are you now like, hey, man,

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just getting.

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, it is funny. I can't wait for

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:17.880
<v Speaker 1>him to get back, you know. And there's an unfortunately

0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 1>big question mark if you know, unfortunate's how bad the

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>injury is. But I cannot wait for him to get back.

0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I think the asterisk in it now is, Yeah, things

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 1>are different. I've kind of I took a left turn

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's kind of gone fantastically, which I'm really enjoying,

0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:32.199
<v Speaker 1>and he's happy for me, and we've discussed it. But

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the fun part is if pretty Deadly does return,

0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 1>it's something completely new. I don't fully know what that

0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 1>new is, but that's really exciting. So when it comes

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:45.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll find out. Really, I don't know what it could be.

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:48.480
<v Speaker 3>If he comes back and tries to stand in the

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 3>way of your rise, is he toxic?

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Let me say this, how the two of us? I

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 1>do classic more toxic than me?

0:25:56.520 --> 0:25:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Love the two?

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Wow? So I mean, could something happened? We're next thing?

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're facing off against each other. Well, you

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>just never know.

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to.

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 1>We've done it before in the past, though, right, you

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 1>know we've we've been there before before coming together. We

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:12.679
<v Speaker 1>had a few a few times in the ring against

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:15.439
<v Speaker 1>each other. You know, I don't know what does an

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 1>injury do to a man? Right, his head might be spiraling.

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:22.360
<v Speaker 2>You're right, you never know. Okay, before we let you go,

0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I want to play a little game. I'm going to

0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 2>give you some random possible red flags you could run

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>into when dating someone new. You tell us if it's fine,

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 2>not a problem, or if they are toxic?

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, love it, I love it.

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Whatever you decide, we stick by it. It becomes the law.

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:46.160
<v Speaker 2>We promise the law one the only text with voice memos.

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, okay, if it's only, I'll say toxic toxic.

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah wait wait wait wait oh, sometimes the mirror gets

0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 3>held up.

0:26:58.640 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you're just going to be saying ship

0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:00.959
<v Speaker 1>that I do.

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Are you like by pressing the button and then just okay,

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:06.959
<v Speaker 3>but that's so much easier.

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:10.280
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no voice memos, meaning I only get your audio,

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 2>not voice to text.

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:14.879
<v Speaker 3>Okay, good, okay, voice memos okay, and let me say this,

0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:15.600
<v Speaker 3>I'll do both.

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:17.679
<v Speaker 1>But you said only.

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Only only text with voice memois. Yeah.

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Different f.

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 2>People who FaceTime in public on speaker, Oh, toxic, toxic

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 2>for sure.

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah.

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:31.919
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Someone who starts sentences with no offense.

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:39.160
<v Speaker 1>But no offense but toxic.

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:44.160
<v Speaker 2>People who clap when a plane lands.

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what? It's such a European thing. Though

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:53.520
<v Speaker 1>it happens a lot, happens a lot, impresses me every time.

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I will say not toxic. Each to their own great,

0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:01.920
<v Speaker 1>but why could come on because you're on the ground.

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:07.400
<v Speaker 2>They say, I'm not hungry, but then eat your fries?

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh toxic, toxic, toxic, Because I don't mind buying two fries.

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I would get you enough fry. I get fries for the.

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Table, totally exactly. Yeah, I don't mind sharing. I just

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:25.440
<v Speaker 2>want to make sure we have enough to share. Very generous.

0:28:25.520 --> 0:28:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Don't tell me you don't want any exactly and eat

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:30.120
<v Speaker 3>my ship correct exactly.

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:33.680
<v Speaker 2>What about doesn't return his or her shopping cart?

0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh, big, big, big time toxic. Okay, I need some

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I need people to tell me what they're doing with

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that one. Agreed, I know, I'm just just do it.

0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Here's the one thing, you know? What can I put

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 2>a caveat on that? When you have kids, you have

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:55.360
<v Speaker 2>to put them in the car seat. Then, depending on

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:58.240
<v Speaker 2>where I've parked my car and where the car cart

0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 2>return is, I have to leave my kids in the

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:04.360
<v Speaker 2>car alone for that length of time. So I'll say,

0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:07.479
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you. It's the law. It's toxic unless

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 2>you have small children, in which case do whatever you

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 2>need to do.

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm right with you. I mean I can't speak on parenthood.

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 1>And apparently there's different rules for different people. I didn't

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 1>know that fair enough? Yeah, you touching? No? No, let me.

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Trying to protect her children to bring the cart back

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 3>and put the other one in.

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 1>That's what you do.

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 2>You're right, the twelve month old who can't walk yet, or.

0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>The nine months in the car you have the three

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 1>year old return the car. Yeah thing in the world.

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Anyone who calls target targe.

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:49.800
