You know, Osprey and Kyle 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:16.560 Fletcher main event like copeing uh freaking Moxley for the 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.960 world title, with a lot of implications between just those 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.080 two matches, you know, and then you got the women. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.240 You know, Tony Storm and Maria made. What they built 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.920 over the last two years is insane. The story they're 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:33.960 telling right with the character arcs MoMA Watanabi versus Mercedes, 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.680 like she's killing with the TVs title, one of the 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.279 biggest women wrestlers in the world, if not in history. 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.239 Then you have like the hurt Sydy Kid defended against 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.320 the outright Outrunner. So you got the guys coming up 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.240 from the Tag division that just came out of nowhere, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.479 got hot going against these powerhouse tag teams. So there's 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.560 a lot of just there's like I feel like any 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.880 of these can just main have any Dynamite or any 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.760 pay per view every match for sure. 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:03.000 You know you you in my opinion, and I told 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.200 you this before, like I follow a w but I 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:10.320 follow it very very very like you know online mostly Yeah, 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.280 now that HBO Max is boom and it's a lot 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:16.479 easier to get on the product exactly, But I feel 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.400 like you had like, if not the most one of 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:25.279 the most important title runs at aw because I just 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:29.479 felt like, uh, just perspective wise as a fan, like 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.800 it just felt like it mattered at a level that 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:34.719 like it was like it was like, I mean, and 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:39.119 then obviously you and Brian Danielson at Wembley Stadium having 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:44.240 just a fucking insane match for you, man, your approach 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:49.320 to holding that belt, and like, like what did you 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:55.200 learn from that rain? And obviously you know dismatch with 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.320 Ricochet's to be the number one contender to try to 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:58.960 get it back, But what did you learn from your 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.719 reign as champion because that was the first time you 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.520 were like the face. I mean, you are one of 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.520 the faces of the company, quite literally the face of 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.240 the company when you're the title holder, But what did 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:10.400 you learn from that time? Man? 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.200 Making what you do matter in every sense every promo, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.720 every time I'm doing a social media plug, every time 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.719 I'm doing an interview, like off out of the ring 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:24.240 and on location, everything had to matter. Everything Like as 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.599 far as like where that title's being seen had to matter. 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.240 I had to put it on display, whether it's in 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.800 a music video with Bun b and West Side, They're 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.880 holding it. It's on a freaking lowrider, the freaking a 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.000 lack you know. In the music video, I got to 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.040 place it in like the news in Vegas to promote 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:44.760 that I need to be here. I need to be here, 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:49.400 you know, Nogel Sylvester, who signed BMX, rider, who signed 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.760 with Jordan or have him holding the belt? So it 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.719 is everything had to matter. Everything had to have a 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.640 place and a purpose and a point. So if I'm there, 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.279 it means something, it matters. And for that to matter, 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.919 I had to matter going into that. So everything that 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.760 I've done before that, like all the matches, all the 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.720 jump ins, all the run ins, all the like the story, 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.040 all the promos, all that had to lead into that 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.120 meaning something. For that championship to matter, then the matches 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.720 had to deliver. And I feel like that was the 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.720 best run of world title matches to buy champion for sure, 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.520 you know. And I and that's that's like, that's hard. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.080 That's a hard bar to like go against with you 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.480 with Kenny and Danielson going an hour, you know, and 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.080 Moxley and the Hangman, you know, all those guys, Jericho 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.800 holding the titles before that, and MJF going a year 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:42.440 with it prior to that. 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.840 You know, that's a lot to live up to. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.920 So I'm like, I got to be a I got 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:51.080 to be a powerhouse, like like roundhouse, like just boem 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.080 right there to the mouth, right right out the gates. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:08:00.800 What was your level of where I mean it? Did 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:05.360 you have nerves getting into the program with was Brian 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.360 because obviously he's one of the greatest of all time. 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:14.200 I mean he's an all time babyface too, you know, Yeah, no, 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:18.000 no nerves. I mean, you guys put on a fucking masterclass. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:19.000 If anything. 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.000 I had to nerve him down because we're like, you know, 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.240 those shows can run long, and it's we have that 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.640 certain amount of time window at the end of the 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.560 pay per view where we can like go off and 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.840 then like the cushion is like two minute window. And 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.520 he was concerned about that, and I was like, I 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.480 got you. I'll steer you where you need to be. 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.640 And then that calmed him down because I was calm. Yeah, 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.000 I always feel like that's my job, and that's like 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.679 why I'm in the position I'm in because I always 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:48.320 have like ice in my veins, cool calm collective. When 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.240 I was tagging with Keith Lee, like I crack a 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:52.960 joke and then our music would play, and then I 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.280 go out and then he's laughing coming out right behind me, 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.480 because I'm like, I need him in that mode when 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.080 he's When Keith Lee's feeling good, you feel. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.800 It, the crowd feels that. You as a viewer, you 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:03.240 feel it. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.880 So every opponent, no matter who I'm with, I want 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.280 Tony at behind the desk to be like, oh, what 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.400 you need, I'll get it done right, because I want 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.640 him to feel like, oh, my performer feels good. I 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:19.439 feel good right, you know, I need everybody feeling on 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.160 the top, so I have to feel on. 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:26.280 Top with some of the the darker I guess you 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.600 you you're very good at being a heel, but not 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.600 I feel like kind of like an anti hero heel 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.520 if you will where like you know, I think back 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:41.120 to like obviously early Stone Cold, you know rock when 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.640 he was with the Nation of Domination type shit, but 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:48.000 like you really dug in, like especially with with Brian Danielson, 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:53.400 Like I feel like that that in terms of like 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.240 some of the material that was discussed, you know what 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.559 I mean? Do you like do you guys talk about 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.360 what's on or off limits? Or does that take away 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.559 from a natural reaction in the ring where if you 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.760 got if you snap on some shit that's maybe his 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.800 family or something like that. Is it something that you 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.920 guys go over. I respect him too much not to 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.480 do that, Like, hey, where's the line? Essentially I know 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:17.520 I know where it is. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.880 And if you're like a professional and like you know 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.840 we're you're cognizant of that kind of shit. You know 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.840 we're not to go it's obvious. You know what you need, 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.680 you know what material you need to get the emotion 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:32.240 in the reaction from them, Like I know that certain 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:36.240 controversial things like maybe in real life that the audience 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.760 is not going to know. Of course not everybody, And 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.040 I don't need people going online to dig it up 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.240 to find the meaning behind it. I'd rather give you 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.680 something that this is what we present it on camera, 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.520 This is what you have to work with, because that's cannon. 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:53.000 I don't want to give you off canon stuff where like, Okay, 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.360 our audience is twenty percent of wrestling, three percent of 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:58.760 that's going to know what they're talking about now. I 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.319 want twenty percent of people to know what we're talking 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.600 about here, and like, because that's where the investment. That's 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.600 where everybody's invested. I'd rather go for the majority of 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.439 people that know certain things than that makes sense minority, 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.360 you know what I mean. It's like it's it's almost 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.320 like in a performance in a rap verse, like putting 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.080 like if when you're performing. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.760 This, like you want to do the hits. Yeah, you 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.800 want the hits. And like maybe like this little. 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.320 Slide line right here is about like a dude that 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.920 wrote something in a studio in the song, like he 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.120 doesn't matter. Like it's like, yeah, maybe certain people in 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.920 the circle may know that, but like when you're performing 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.000 and hits, you want that thing to boom, so everybody 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:40.280 gets invested in that song. 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.000 Yeah, you know what I mean. You've done a lot 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:48.400 of stuff with celebrities. Yeah, whether it's Ross Westside Gun 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:55.400 bun Bee. I want to know your take on the 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.760 Traviscott punch. Oh man, that's wild. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:02.480 That's a that's an exciting that's a very excited artist 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.880 who finally got to do his dream right. 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.120 Well, you know what I mean, Like. 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:09.880 I'm in here and you're in there with the two 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:11.880 biggest icons that we have left in this. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.679 Like a top ten iconic moment in wrestling history with the. 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.600 Two biggest icons that's ever done it. So of course 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.760 you're excited, and you're with the world champion of like, 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:22.400 so this is the guy that's going to be the 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.040 one for that era, for this era and moving forward. 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.280 So that's a lot of excitement, that's a lot of pressure. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.839 And that's what happens when you get excited with someone 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.960 who's not in our industry. 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.320 You know, it's it's an exciting moment. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.960 It's like, what the hell would we do if like, 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.480 like I think you like, you know, like I mean 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.760 a wrestler got on the stage and they would do 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.760 dumb shit too on the freaking you know, on a concert, 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.880 you know. But that's like not industry etiquette for you know, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.640 so it's just a crossover things like he doesn't know 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.480 and there's no way they went over that, right, I 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.600 don't think. I don't believe so yeah, I don't believe 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.360 so and I feel like they like they wanted that 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.720 so they could feel natural. Sometimes you want like just 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.679 the natural reaction from other people outside of wrestling. 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:07.520 You want them to. 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.359 Just just be natural, just flow and feel because. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:10.920 Then it'll feel real. 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.800 But sometimes that stuff happens and it's like, ah, too far, 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.040 too much, you know, and you know, I don't know. 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.960 I was like on that golf course with Travis not 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.480 that long ago. You were telling me, Yeah, he didn't 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.599 know that was coming, but he was telling me. He's like, 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.280 I'm excited, man, I'm training with Booker to just want 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.520 to be wow, Like I'm he was more wanted to 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.640 talk about wrestling and he wanted to talk about music, and. 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:34.640 That's usually how it is. 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.000 Like so he was like excited, and I'm like, oh cool, 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.720 he's excited. I just I'm like, just make sure you know, 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:43.520 take care of yourself and others. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:49.640 Do you feel like the the heel turn. I saw 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.439 a lot of people with the hyperpoli. That hyperbole is 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.679 very high, like oh this is this is bigger than Hogan. 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:58.960 I don't think anything will ever be bigger than Hogan 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.560 because it changed the direction. Still talk about it right 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.840 exactly literally like Save the Company started money Night Wars 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.079 and is born like the biggest faction ever. He can 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.480 say that because we saw the ripple effects of it. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:13.160 Yeah, what the ripple effects is exactly. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.520 We can't say that. The memes coming out of it, 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:22.880 the face it is it's it's hilarious, but it's like, Okay, 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.640 how impactful is that? That shakes the industry? Right? 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.240 Like does it? I don't know if that changes what 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.360 happens over here. I don't know if it like changes. 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.360 I mean that's not right. Yeah, yeah, we don't know, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:35.120 like we gotta. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.720 I'm so glad it happened before he retired for sure, 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.720 because he needed to see it. Absolutely, don't you think? Yeah, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.440 I don't. I don't care to see it, but I'm 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:44.080 just glad person. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.640 Yeah, but you know, absolutely, I'm just interested to see 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.200 where he where he takes it. 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.040 I'm so interested in what he's gonna wear, Yeah, because 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.480 he can't wear the colorful. He's got to like what's 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.440 the fit gonna look like? What's the song gonna be? 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.920 What the song gonna be? What's the fit going to be? Like? 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.960 Is it all black? Like? Is like there's some MK 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.760 ultra shit going on because it almost looked like when 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.440 the rock looked at that fool, he almost had like 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.080 some mind control. It was crazy. That was my favorite part. 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.560 And then when Cody said, go fuck yourself and if. 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.200 I'm if I'm him, I don't. I don't wrap my 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.120 own song either no I don't do it. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:17.720 No you can't. 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:18.200 No, no, no no. 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.560 You've dealt with a lot of celebrities, is there, like okay, 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.920 for example, like Rick Ross, Yeah, does Rick Ross know 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.080 you're gonna swerve stomps like a fucking cinder block into 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.560 someone's chest? Oh yeah, well he's standing there. Oh yeah, 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.200 he was excited about that. So you're like, look, this 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:34.920 is what's gonna happen. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.880 Yeah, He's like, let's do it. Nothing's easy, too easy. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.000 So you guys have like a little powow backstage essentially 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.920 like hey, this was like was there ever? Because I 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.000 feel like Ross is like an aw like you know, 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.040 like was there ever any like real discussion like maybe 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:49.920 bringing him on as like a manager or something. 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.720 Yeah, it's just like him telling like you a big 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.760 motherfucker kind of changed some things a little bit. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.040 It was like I don't know. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.120 And then like antony Kin is the mindset of like 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.080 over is it? But he just keeps moving forward. 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:02.760 You know. 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:04.720 He's always said like, we can revisit it, let's talk 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:06.720 about it, Like I like him less, we can visit it, 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.720 But then this happens. Then this happens, and this happens 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.560 and then the company is going this way. It's like, oh, 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.640 you know, I'll let you keep sharing. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.640 I would love to see method man. He's an imposing guy. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.960 His fucking jack imposing fellow man, and he could be 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.640 I feel like Meth could snap on a mic. Yeah. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:27.640 I feel like he has a good He has a 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.320 good voice for it, for sure. He has a great 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.360 voice for TV, for radio, for music. 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.360 I think for like doing promos and stuff in the ring, 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.000 it would translate. And you know why I think you 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.000 have that because we've seen him on def Jam and 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.720 of course, so I think that's a great character. He 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.600 Thats what I'm saying. He's a great character in the game. 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.200 So I think just subconsciously we're all like, oh, just 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.040 take what he did in the game where he just 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.440 boom boom boom does this. I'm like that can that 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.480 can like transfer right into wrestling. I think that that 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.320 game has also done that to a lot of like 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.800 I want to see so and so, and sure, I 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.760 want to see this rapper Suh Joe getting the ring. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:06.320 Somebody did a like a recreation of Vendetta about it 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.640 was like the Kendrick and Drake thing as hell. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.560 I would like to see like, uh, deaf Jam and 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.760 then like somebody like because you know all the games 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.440 are on PC and stuffs modem and put like current 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:18.080 artists in that. 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.000 No even like like I guess what they're kind of doing. 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.760 That was but it's not a fighting game, But what's Fortnite. 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.560 There's always you could be Snoop, you could be Weekend Travis. 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.600 I want them to mod like deaf Jam because like 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.679 they got to bring the game back. There's no way 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:34.320 it's going to happen. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.879 I've heard about I listened to like interviews about that, 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.320 and there's like it's just licensing. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.240 The problem is is the licensing. And then like because 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.000 deaf Jam doesn't have as many artists. I mean they 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:44.720 still have all the old school guys like I'm sure 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.440 they could use, but like in terms of the newer guys, 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.680 there would just be it'd be a licensing head. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.679 And then and then there's like the like this company 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.480 and this company are like, oh, he can't make this. 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.919 Rapper look weak in this and he can't beat and 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.560 she can't. It's too much ego. 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.800 Yeah, yeah, too much, way too much. That's why I 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:02.720 was hearing the interviews. 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.840 You were at the super Bowl. Yeah, and you got 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:10.080 to see Kendrick's halftime show yes on TV. I was 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.080 freaking the fuck out. Yeah, it was amazing. I was 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.960 just losing my mind. I was at Fluffy Shot at 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.680 Gabriel or Glacys. He has a Super Bowl party. 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:22.960 Wowa was x Poc was there? I ran into Tech 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.800 nine shout out of tech I'm sure he was there. Yeah, 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.520 I ran into him at the but I brought him 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:30.600 on a w on an episode of Rampage once. 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.440 He needs to do someone's theme song a Tech nine 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:36.000 themes Incredibly, it would be in so good crazy, it'd 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.560 be so good.

But it was just like it was. 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.320 It was definitely a show and a performance for television. 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.080 For TV because I thought that in my head, like 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:50.880 if you're sitting up at the rafters, I'm not sure 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:52.119 you're getting everything going on. 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.800 Yeah, like in certain angles and stuff, especially if you're 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.760 sitting on this side, you're missing the X part when 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.160
