<v Speaker 1>No no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Who's making this documentary.

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Everybody that was interviewed with senators or congressmen or people

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>that work for the CIA or the DA. And I'm

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>not talking about like, oh I was a senator it was.

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like Marco Rubio and all people that are currently

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>senators or national security advisors go watch the documentary. It

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>just won like all of your favorite festivals. Writer, It's

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>like the biggest documentary, one of the biggest documentaries in

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the world that was done by Oh I forget but

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Sue and I watched it.

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:22.559
<v Speaker 4>So X files is real.

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Well what there? So they've now had so starting in

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three, they've now had full congressional hearings on

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the Hill. Yeah, I remember about all of this stuff

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>going on, and now it's one of the one of

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the few completely and totally bipartisan things going on. So

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>they've released all the footage of the fact that apparently

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>over the last especially five or ten years, all of

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>these pilots from the Air Force, from the Navy have

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>been following these these specific crafts that have technology that

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>we can't possibly under stand. And so the government that

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.919
<v Speaker 1>the way that they came at it is by going, Okay,

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>let's say it isn't aliens. Let's say it's something we

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.679
<v Speaker 1>have or something another chinment has. Yeah, whatever, it's still

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a serious national security threat that there's stuff flying over

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>our air bases and we have to figure out what

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>it is, which led to this thing called the legend.

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>You have to watch this thing because I'm one of

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>those people. I fully believe there are alien spieces out there.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we've been visited. And then I

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>finished watching this, I'm like, oh, yeah, no, all this

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 1>is all real. And everybody's saying within the next year

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>or two, the president or somebody major, while not giving

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>us told all the information, will come out and say yes,

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>we have aliens based craft and yes we have been

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>visited by another alien. They're like, we're within twelve months

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>of somebody like literally taking the microphone the President of

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>United States saying, yes, we have the technology, we have

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>the crafts from other planets, we have been visited.

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Because none actually been said at this point, it's all

0:02:56.040 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 3>just like there are government investigations looking into this exactly.

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Actually, So they've changed it, obviously, and one of the

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>smartest things they did was rebranded it, which is what

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>everybody does. So they're no longer UFOs, which everybody's like conjures,

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>tinfoil hats and all the kind they're UAPs, which is

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:15.639
<v Speaker 1>unidentified aerial phenomenon. And there's again interviewing like Harry Reid

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and leaders of the Senate and like the House are

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>of Services Committee going I can't tell you exactly the

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>information I have, but let's just say I've actually seen

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the wreckage and the bodies, and these are people that

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 1>are like massive people in the Senate and Congress. It's crazy.

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Is it scary? Is a scary? Because like it.

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Depends on how you think about it. So one of

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the things they talk about, which apparently and here's the

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>other thing. They're like, look, I know you might not

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>believe this one camera, but it's if this aircraft, this craft,

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, this unidentified flying object is excuse it's

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a UAP UAP exactly. Is caught by one radar system,

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>then it's caught by ten radar systems. It's not like

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>it was found on one thing. It's like we can

0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>track it by a satellite, we can track it by this.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>And so they're interviewing people going like, oh no, it

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>went from and they're sitting there talking about this under

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>oath in front of Congress, where they're like, oh no,

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting there in my aircraft. You know, I'm

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>a Navy pilot. I have been for thirty five years.

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>It hovered in front of us an entire squadron for

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes, and then shot up eighty thousand feet instantaneously.

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>It's like he's like, there's nothing that we have that

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>is anything like this. It's crazy. And so what they're

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>talking about is it's actually the Defense Department and the

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>defense contractors that are trying to stop everybody from finding

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>out what it is, because they're not just crashing here,

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>but they're crashing in China and they're crashing in Russia.

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>So there's an arms race that we don't know about

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>of collecting these spacecraft and reverse engineering their technology.

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:47.559
<v Speaker 4>I'm just getting used to AI.

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 1>AI is going to have nothing, and they're saying, dude,

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>watch this documentary. It was Sue and I were sitting

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>there like, so, I'd heard about it, and because apparently

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>one of the other things was the Fableman's was supposed

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to be Steven Spielberg's last big movie, and he watched

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>this documentary and is coming out of retirement to do

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a film based on the guy the whole thing is about.

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's where we're sitting there watching. I was like, oh,

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I heard about this thing. It won all these awards

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that I think south By and it won like a

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Sundance Award like one, all this stuff. It's like, let's

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>watch it. It's about aliens, and neither of us spoke

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>for ninety minutes. We sat there with our jaws open,

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>like this can't be real, This can't be real. And

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it's starting with again Senator Harry Reid and all the

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>people that are the heads of Congress and the Senate

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>going like, oh yeah, this is, Oh, this is real,

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>this is all real.

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 5>I sure, I believe it, but like, why is I

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 5>don't know why it's such a I don't know why.

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 2>It's such a bit just because it's never been said before,

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 2>because it's like, okay, cool, it's.

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Never been well they're talking about so one of the things,

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.159
<v Speaker 1>this is one of the things they interestingly talk about

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>in the documentary, is kind of like why not just

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>tell everybody? Yeah, And one of the guys is like,

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.359
<v Speaker 1>are you kidding? I was getting stopped by people in

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the Pentagon. He goes high officials in the Pentagon that

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>were telling me that just saying there were aliens out

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>there was the equivalent saying there were that it's against

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Christianity and they were the looking for the devils and demons.

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 1>He's like, these are top generals telling me. I was

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I was fine, I'm trying to find demons. He's like,

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>there's people that wouldn't be able to handle the fact

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>that we're not alone and there's other species around. I mean,

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>it was you guys have to watch this thing.

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 6>It is.

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>It's so it was one of the crazies we just finished.

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>You were like, I'm going to bed. I don't want to.

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk anymore. I'm scared. I'm going

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to bed. It was crazy. Yeah, Interest Age of Disclosure.

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 1>It is so worth the watch because youve for Tom DeLong, Yes, exactly,

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>it's so true. Blink one eight two is right the

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>entire time, Tom DeLong, just the one just one, blink

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>one was right the entire time. Eighty two still just

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 1>non believers. But this was one of those things. Do

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you ever watch a documentary where we're like, oh, okay, yeah,

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>everything they just said makes sense that that was this

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>documentary And I'm not one of those guys. I'm not

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>yes aliens. It was like, Okay, I guess I'll watch this.

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>It was insane. You guys have to watch what's age

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of Age of Disclosure? And it is just it was.

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>It was also just a beautifully done documentary. It was

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 1>very pretty to watch, but it was the all the technology,

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>it's all there, and they really it's all the government

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>is releasing all this stuff. So there's footage of these

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>crafts and they're going straight from space through our atmosphere

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>then right into the ocean without ever being like, without stopping,

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>without having to change anything. They're they're just going it's nuts.

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>It's nuts. I can't even describe it.

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 4>It's great.

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 5>Oh, we'll check it out. Maybe we'll do a recap.

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Maybe we'll do a recap of age of disclosure. If

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 5>they'll let us get true true.

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:40.680

<v Speaker 5>Yes, and it's and that kick started the this is

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 5>my last year.

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Basically, he came.

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Back as a heel. He came back a baby face,

0:08:55.280 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>a big hellmer with terms, here's the here's the King actor.

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:01.959
<v Speaker 1>Now be hold on.

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 5>In in the year of the retirement send off, him.

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Being a heel hasn't really worked.

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so he's back to being a good guy because.

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Just no one would buy him, and.

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Now no one wanted it.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 5>Everyone was like, bro, we love you and and we

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 5>want to love you. And so he's he's he's now

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 5>back to you know, he's back to being a good guy.

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 5>This is the guy who was known universally for having

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 5>done the most Make a Wish visits in the history

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 5>of Make a Wish Foundation. Is the bad guy all

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 5>of a sudden, now you want us to buy you

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 5>as a bad guy. You're too beloved. We love you

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 5>too much. We're not going to turn on you. Even

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 5>though it was a great heel turn for for the

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 5>time that it lasted. But anyway it has been it's

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 5>been one year of a sendoff. But Saturday is the

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.319
<v Speaker 5>final match and then just where won't be able to

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 5>see him?

0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 2>It's in Washington, DC.

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Are you now what times you're flight.

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 2>My flight is.

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm taking a red eye actually after no, no, god, no,

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm actually here's why I'm not going. I went last weekend.

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 5>I went to Survivor Series in San Diego, much.

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Closer and that and John Cena was at that.

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 2>One, and John Cena was there and I got to survive.

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.439
<v Speaker 2>He did not win, but he did survive.

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>So, I mean, the chances of him losing his final

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>match are probably pretty slim.

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.839
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I don't know what's going to happen. I

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 5>actually think he will lose because if he if he

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 5>takes the belt and then goes that's it, I'm done. No,

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 5>I think I think it's like a ninety nine percent

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 5>thing that he's going to lose his last match.

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:49.559
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be great, though.

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 5>It's you know, he truly is, if not the greatest

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.559
<v Speaker 5>of all time, absolutely up there.

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>In the conversation, definitely in.

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 5>The conversation, arguably the greatest wrestler of all time, and

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.079
<v Speaker 5>and so to have this big send off has been

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 5>has been really fun.

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>For the last year, well.

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 1>There's only been a few that have jumped out to

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>where it did become. I don't know. Yeah, if you

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know anything about wrestling, you still know them, correct,

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>So he's probably one of ten men or women in

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the whole history of wrestling where everybody knows them even

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:20.959
<v Speaker 1>if they've never watched wrestling.

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 4>And I really again, Johnson and the Rock, right, yeah.

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there you go.

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 5>It is funny to me that my kids knew of

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 5>the Rock as, isn't that Dwayne Johnson because they knew.

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Him from Jumanji. They knew him as an exactly exactly.

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 5>They knew him as an actor before they got into wrestling,

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.679
<v Speaker 5>and it was like, that just feels wrong.

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 2>He's the Rock, but you know.

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 4>Her the fantasy?

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Santa, you have to, you know, don't all the

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 3>ways are real?

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>At least he's really.

0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.959
<v Speaker 4>They're asking, man, you cannot tell them, You've got to.

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 4>It's an elf on a shelf for Dwayne john I hope.

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 1>You've told all your kids right from the second you

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>brought them to a wrestling match that it's fake and

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.840
<v Speaker 1>there's no fantasy involved. I hope you told them that

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>right away, like Ryer would have. This is all unreal.

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 5>Today we are talking to one of the emerging stars

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 5>ready to take John Cena's spot. This Scottish born fan

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 5>favorite turned his campy theme song, a Zoolander esque stare,

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 5>an independent success into a fast pass through the WWE,

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.680
<v Speaker 5>debuting at last year's Royal Rumble and then squaring off

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 5>against Randy Orton at WrestleMania, all before signing an official

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 5>contract with the company. That is an unheard of accomplishment.

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 5>It was an overnight success that took about ten years

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 5>to achieve, and now he is a WWE superstar competing

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 5>in their NXT brand, figuring out his new surroundings and

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 5>getting ready for whatever comes next, even if it's a

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 5>podcast with three former child stars of a show we

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 5>are not sure he's ever even heard of, but either way,

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 5>we have called his name and as a result, he

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 5>is here. Welcome to pod Meets World. Joe Henry. Hello, Hello, Joe,

<v Speaker 5>This will be the only time my children are jealous

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.520

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Writer is still writers getting into it. He's getting into

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 2>a war.

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 3>There's information, there's so many names, there's so many chants.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 4>I can't keep it all straight.

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 2>I know there's a lot.

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.559
<v Speaker 4>I've been to a WrestleMania, so you know.

<v Speaker 2>Exactly which one? Did you go to Vegas? Vegas this

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 2>past year?

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 6>And you don't remember me?

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 4>We were there the first day?

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, first Jay, we didn't make it to the second day.

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 6>That's okay, I'll let you.

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Ryder also just said that hoping you weren't also there

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the first day because he doesn't remember anybody that was there.

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 6>I think I would have remembered.

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 4>No, I think I would have remembered.

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, okay, he was fighting until you threw him under

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 6>the bus.

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly. He had gotten away with it and then.

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 4>Yes, this is what we do.

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 6>We've were moving on, moving on, and you just brought

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 6>it back.

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 5>So you grew up in Scotland. What was the wrestling

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 5>scene like there? What were you exposed to as a kid?

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 6>So you see, grew up in Scotland.

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 7>I lived in Scotland until a couple of months ago.

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Your whole life was in Scotland.

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I've been.

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 7>I've been flying back and forth pretty much the entire

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 7>time I moved over here in August. So in Scotland,

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 7>I actually wasn't like a huge wrestling as a young

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 7>kid because I just didn't have it. You needed to

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 7>have like SkyTV or cable, and I didn't have either

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 7>until I was a little bit older, and then I

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 7>kind of saw I remember flicking through the channels and

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 7>in the UK, yeah, I finally got Cartoon Network, and

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 7>Cartoon Network at ten PM would switch channel. So I

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 7>remember I was watching Cartoon Network for some reason. I

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 7>was a play and then I was wrestling and I

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.440
<v Speaker 7>saw this guy Ric Flair, and that was my first

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 7>memory of wrestling. But I didn't become like a super

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 7>fan until I was about fourteen, I would say. And

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.040
<v Speaker 7>that's when I got into wrestling big time through the

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 7>video games. It was playing the video games, and then

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 7>I went from that into actually liking professional wrestling.

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm so curious, what were you watching on Cartoon Network?

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 6>Oh man?

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 7>And so many iconic shows I actually remember I used

0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 7>to watch. I was one of those kids that just

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 7>used to watch the same thing over and over and

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 7>over and over again, Like I remember I had no

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 7>Cartoon Network.

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 6>I had like.

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 7>A you know, a South Park videotape that I watched

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 7>the same three episodes before stool every day every day.

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 7>But for Cartoon Network I had there was this sedis

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 7>of shorts that they did that were it was. It

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 7>was a series of pilots. So and this Cities on

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 7>Cartoon Network had like the original pilot for Johnny Bravo.

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 7>It actually had the original pilot for Family Guy. Believe

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 7>it or not. There was a lot of big cartoons

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 7>that got their star on Cartoon Network, so that was

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:35.880

<v Speaker 1>Yes, awesome?

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 2>So slightly related. Did you get Boy Meets World in Scotland?

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever seen Boy Meets World?

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 6>So? I hate I hate to say I've never actually

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.359
<v Speaker 6>seen it. I want to be educated. Boy Meets World.

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, you're you all in the title meets the World.

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 4>That's all you need.

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 2>So funny.

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.399
<v Speaker 5>Okay, you are kind of an uncommon mashup that you

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.439
<v Speaker 5>were also a singer. You were in a band. Are

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 5>you still in a band called Lost in Audio?

0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 6>Oh? That's you've done your research there, you plun with

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 6>your research, impress.

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 7>And so that was I was doing music from the

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 7>age of I've a very interesting life. I started doing

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 7>live music because it's like all these things I did

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 7>just somehow. It was all the tools I needed to

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 7>become successful in wrestling. So I started doing judo when

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 7>I was six years old, and then I started doing

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 7>like a Saturday acting class when I was like ten

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.720
<v Speaker 7>or something like that. And I remember an audition came

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.119
<v Speaker 7>up and I was going to go and do the

0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 7>audition and they were like, oh yeah, so what musical

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 7>act do you do? And I was like, and then

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 7>I called up my cousin. I was like, let's start

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.879
<v Speaker 7>a band. So I put a band together for to

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 7>do this audition that was originally for an acting thing

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.439
<v Speaker 7>that turned out to be a music thing, and so

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 7>we just decided to run with it. So I was like,

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 7>I was living this double life where I was going

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 7>to be fifteen sixteen years old, not cool in school

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 7>at all. I was like the most uncool person in

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.399
<v Speaker 7>school because I moved school and I didn't really have

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.119
<v Speaker 7>any close friends there. But at night I was like

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 7>playing in like broad clubs till one two.

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:07.880
<v Speaker 6>In the morning. Wow.

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 7>This band when I was sixteen years old, you know,

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 7>so that was a fun expiece. And and so I've

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:17.159
<v Speaker 7>been performing live since I was probably, I mean, I

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.399
<v Speaker 7>guess if you include acting and stage shows and stuff, probably,

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 7>I mean like eight.

0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Wait, were you were you a musician before you

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 1>decided to start a band? I mean, did you could

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 1>you play an instrument? Or did you just call your

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 1>cousin and go, hey, let's pick up some instruments and

0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:31.160
<v Speaker 1>start a band.

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:35.399
<v Speaker 2>He's a singer, the last, ter last, God's great.

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.480
<v Speaker 5>I would like to go on record and say that

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 5>you are the best pro wrestling lead singer of a band.

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 2>I just want everyone to know that.

0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.280
<v Speaker 5>Okay, that's really just I guess saying you're better than

0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 5>Chris Jericho.

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:48.960
<v Speaker 2>But that's I'm still gonna say it.

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 7>Let me tell you he has got he has got

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 7>some bangers. If you look off that Folsey, they've got

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:56.479
<v Speaker 7>they do have some amazing tracks.

0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but still I stand by your the greatest to

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:01.000
<v Speaker 2>do it.

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 6>I appreciate your opinion, but you know, to me, the man's.

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Alleged appreciate what kind of music was it?

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.720
<v Speaker 7>So it was just kind of like just guitar band,

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 7>you know, just kind of It was around the time

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 7>of it was like two thousand and three, two thousand

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 7>and four, when like indie music was just taken over

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 7>in the UK, so you'd get a lot of bands

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 7>like for example, Kings of Leon were huge in the UK,

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.720
<v Speaker 7>big in the US, so their first couple of albums

0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:29.680
<v Speaker 7>were big over here. I mean I was back then.

0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 6>I was.

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:31.920
<v Speaker 7>I'm not saying my band is like this because I

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 7>always find, you know, if you have like I'm trying

0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.720
<v Speaker 7>to give an example, but I think that people always

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:45.719
<v Speaker 7>listen to the more extreme versions of their own music,

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 7>if you know what I mean. So, so for example,

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 7>Blink one eight two would probably listen to some really.

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 6>Obscure punk bands, you know what I mean.

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:54.920
<v Speaker 7>I like so for me, like I was more sort

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.399
<v Speaker 7>of pop rock, but I was listening to like, you know,

0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.600
<v Speaker 7>Queens of the Stone Age and nine inch Nails and

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:01.840
<v Speaker 7>stuff like that. But in the UK it was around

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.919
<v Speaker 7>the time where indy was just taken over, so so

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.600
<v Speaker 7>many big albums came out, like The Killers came out

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 7>around that time, The Strokes, you had, Kings of Leon,

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 7>you had, you know, Transferred, and and b Lockburry. There

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:18.880
<v Speaker 7>were so many bands in that indie scene. And even

0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 7>though I was always kind of like the opening band,

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:24.120
<v Speaker 7>I got to play with some pretty big bands when

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:25.440
<v Speaker 7>I was sixteen seventeen.

0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.360
<v Speaker 6>I just you know, it was an awesome experience. Wow.

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 5>You also graduated with a degree in marketing while competing

0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:36.439
<v Speaker 5>and winning national championships and earning your black belt in judo?

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 5>Is there anything you are bad at?

0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 6>There's lots of things I'm bad at it, You'll never

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 6>see it. And that's what it's about.

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.400
<v Speaker 7>It's about showcasing your strengths and how did your weaknesses.

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.359
<v Speaker 7>It's really to me, it's about what I would often

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 7>do is that would see a task that had grandeur

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:58.080
<v Speaker 7>that I felt was achievable. So I'll give you an example,

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.879
<v Speaker 7>Like the reason that shows a business degree is because

0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:02.879
<v Speaker 7>I was like, I know, I'm kind of half checked

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 7>out and I'm doing this music thing and I'm interested

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.159
<v Speaker 7>in other things. What is the right spot for a

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.119
<v Speaker 7>degree where I can get something that is respected but

0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:12.879
<v Speaker 7>it's not going to take up all that time. So

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 7>for example, being I was interested in law, but being

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 7>a lawyer is like totally intensive.

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 6>So I was like, well, like every business is a business.

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 6>Same with amateur wrestling.

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:25.920
<v Speaker 7>I looked at the field of competition for the heavier

0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:27.679
<v Speaker 7>weight classes and I thought, matter of fact, put on

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.479
<v Speaker 7>a little bit of weight. There's really only like five decent,

0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 7>you know, heavyweight wrestlers in the United Kingdom that I

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.679
<v Speaker 7>would need to worry about, So you know, I'm going

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 7>to go into that weight class. So I would often

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 7>look at different things that I could achieve and what

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 7>would be the most efficient path to victory, and I would.

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.240
<v Speaker 6>Go all in on it no matter what.

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:48.280
<v Speaker 7>And if I didn't think it was doable, I wouldn't

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:49.919
<v Speaker 7>give it one iota of energy.

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 5>So smart, You definitely use your marketing degree a lot

0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 5>in wrestling.

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 2>That is very obvious.

0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 5>Can you explain the character of Joe hen and our

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 5>prep We use the term earnest and kind of cheesy,

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:09.239
<v Speaker 5>but he's winking and also he's very cool. It's like

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 5>a it's a that's kind of the combo. How would

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 5>you describe it?

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 7>So I would say that my what got me over

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:23.160
<v Speaker 7>with the fans is that my character like is a terrible,

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:26.679
<v Speaker 7>terrible person but is celebrating.

0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:27.680
<v Speaker 6>So I'm the guy.

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:29.399
<v Speaker 7>Have you ever been to like a house party and

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 7>everyone's going, let's just say, you know.

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 6>Pick a random named Dave, right, so they go right,

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:40.679
<v Speaker 6>or well we'll go for like, you know, have you

0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:42.560
<v Speaker 6>met him? He's he's the best guy ever, He's the

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:43.360
<v Speaker 6>greatest guy ever.

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 7>And everyone at the party is telling you how great

0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 7>this guy is and you meet him and he's a

0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:50.080
<v Speaker 7>complete but no one else can see.

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:51.919
<v Speaker 6>It, just that one person.

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 7>I am that guy, So I will literally if I'm

0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:57.840
<v Speaker 7>feuding with the wrestler, I will terrorize their life.

0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 6>And everyone's going Joe Andrew's great, He's a super nice guy.

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 6>And they're like, why can't you see it? And it's like, hey,

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 6>I'm a nice guy, but behind the smile, you know,

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 6>that's that's kind of how we approached it.

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 4>That's great.

0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:13.680
<v Speaker 5>Where did the theme song and the idea for the

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:15.159
<v Speaker 5>entrance come from?

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 7>So I actually reverse engineered it because I thought to myself, actually,

0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:23.920
<v Speaker 7>you know what, I'll two parts I'll tell you about.

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:26.680
<v Speaker 7>So the first is the thought process behind the lyrics.

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 7>I was like, how can the wrestlance all about audience interaction?

0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:32.119
<v Speaker 7>And I was like, how can the audience interact with

0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:34.960
<v Speaker 7>me from their seats? And I was like, they can

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:37.080
<v Speaker 7>clap their hands and they can wave their hands. So

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 7>I had portions of the song. There is a certain

0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:42.440
<v Speaker 7>bpm which Queen talk about this a lot, that are

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 7>certain bpms that just get people to act a certain way.

0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 7>One hundred and twenty bpms is exactly two beats per second,

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.679
<v Speaker 7>and there's something about that bpm that just makes people

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:55.760
<v Speaker 7>kind of do this. When it is the slower bpm

0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 7>which they were talking about when they put together, we

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:01.679
<v Speaker 7>will rock you. It's very similar to the DPM of

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 7>the stock stock and that was kind of more appropriate

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 7>for the wave your hands. So I was like, I'm

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:08.679
<v Speaker 7>going to and also you have to tell the audience

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 7>what to do. So I showed them the handclapping and

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:14.760
<v Speaker 7>I said, the song says literally, wave your hands. So

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:17.200
<v Speaker 7>it was about getting audience interaction.

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:20.199
<v Speaker 6>And reverse engineering. Where the song actually came from was

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 6>probably about I would say, what this is crazy?

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 7>So I first recorded it in twenty nineteen and it

0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:29.919
<v Speaker 7>was at least ten years earlier when I came up

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 7>with a melody when we were on the road with

0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:35.119
<v Speaker 7>the band and we were talking about how unsuccessful we

0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:37.639
<v Speaker 7>were and how frustrated it was, and how we were like,

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:40.040
<v Speaker 7>you know, what, to hell with this? We should just

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:42.440
<v Speaker 7>do what pit Bill does. We should just name cities

0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:44.680
<v Speaker 7>in places, and I started.

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 8>Going, love, way in the world would you like to go?

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:53.439
<v Speaker 8>That was like this little thing I came up with.

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 8>And then ten years later I just could get out of.

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 6>My head and I was like, no, no, that can't

0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:01.680
<v Speaker 6>be it. No, that was just some dumbs it that's

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:02.400
<v Speaker 6>going to be the one.

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:03.360
<v Speaker 4>That's going to be the one.

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:08.479
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Yeah, man, it's so great. I will tell you

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:11.560
<v Speaker 5>it's so catchy that when we were I took my

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 5>kids to Survivor Series a couple of weekends ago, and

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 5>we passed a hotel called the Pendry, and the minute

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:25.399
<v Speaker 5>I saw it, I sang to my kids, believe in

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 5>Joe Pendry, and my they lost it. And then anytime

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:32.920
<v Speaker 5>we passed the Pendry Hotel, we would sing your song.

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 5>And it's just it's an earworm. It really sticks. It's

0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:42.240
<v Speaker 5>it's pretty incredible. Can we show the guys your Can

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 5>we show them a little bit of your your entrance?

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's play. Can we play it?

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:48.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, okay, good? Here it is.

0:26:53.240 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 9>Name man he peers believe in Joe Hendry. I believe

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 9>in Joe Hendre, the Lone London and Paris and Tokyo, America,

0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 9>Scotland and Canada and Mexico. This say, I believe in

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 9>Joe here. I believe in Joe. Here's brilliant, this is awesome,

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 9>this is great way our hands.

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 6>Spoke site sciencing.

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:45.000
<v Speaker 1>But I believe in Joe Hendre of the joke.

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:51.600
<v Speaker 9>Hendred, some stigees way that spot side the science.

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:59.840
<v Speaker 4>But why believe in Jo Entry and Joe here and stages.

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, do you know what it reminds me of?

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember when David Hasselhoff had his music career

0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 3>and it was in Germany and they the radios got

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 3>released here and there was basically that, but like totally

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 3>for real this it's so funny.

0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 6>Oh my god, you can't you can't go wrong. That's

0:28:21.520 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 6>a good influence. Take.

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, really good. I have a strange question, Joe, but

0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:27.520
<v Speaker 1>after talking to you for a little while, do you

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 1>play chess?

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 6>So? Have I played it? Can I play? Yes? And

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 6>am I any good at it? Apparently not?

0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 7>Because it actually hurts me to play chess because eagle wise,

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:41.719
<v Speaker 7>I like to think I'm a pretty smart guy, right,

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 7>I get beat more.

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:44.000
<v Speaker 6>Than I would.

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Just seem like a person that thinks several steps ahead,

0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 1>which is why so it seems like something that would

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:53.480
<v Speaker 1>your mind would lend itself to chess, because you're like

0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the way you said how you created the song where

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to reverse engineer the song and you get

0:28:58.040 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 1>the catchy hook. But I want to do this and

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to and it the beats per minute. It

0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 1>just seems like you are thinking several steps ahead.

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 6>Career wise, Yeah, you're very You're very correct. Unfortunately, I'm

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 6>just that's one of those things I'm looking.

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 7>At that like the time investment to get good at chess,

0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:14.560
<v Speaker 7>the level of level of competition.

0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 6>It's not the one I can't I can't do it.

0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 6>I can't do it. I do get too.

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 7>Competitive everything, Like I'm banned from playing Monopoly with my family.

0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:25.280
<v Speaker 6>Can we just can't go there. We just can't go there.

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 6>We can't go there.

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>When you do play Monopoly with your family, did you

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 1>play box rules or do you have family rules where

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:32.720
<v Speaker 1>you make where it's like all the money goes in

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the pile and if you get or

0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 1>is it straight up you are just by the top

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:37.120
<v Speaker 1>of the box.

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 6>MA viewpoint, is the law is the law?

0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Thank you?

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 7>Will I will allow some money collection of free parking.

0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 7>But that's as far as I'm going. Although it's it's

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:54.240
<v Speaker 7>all negotiations fly for me monopoly, all negotiations fly. O.

0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 6>Great.

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:58.680
<v Speaker 5>So going back to how you ended up in the

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:01.680
<v Speaker 5>WWE your high at TNA, which is the top three

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 5>promotions here in the States, When did you know your

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 5>persona was like catching on?

0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:12.000
<v Speaker 7>I think it happens in different levels, like for me,

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:16.360
<v Speaker 7>the thing that I love to do is to make

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 7>great stuff. So people like people talk about making it

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:25.160
<v Speaker 7>in professional wrestling. Oh thank you know, thank God that

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 7>I thought through all the struggle and all the hard times.

0:30:27.280 --> 0:30:29.200
<v Speaker 6>And don't get me wrong, it was hard. It was

0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 6>so hard.

0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:32.920
<v Speaker 7>There were times where it just success felt like at

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 7>that level, felt like it would be impossible. There were

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:38.720
<v Speaker 7>times where you know, I was broke there, but I

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 7>just always believed in what I was doing and I

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 7>was fortunate in that I've been making these silly videos

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 7>since twenty thirteen, so I've always had positive fan feedback

0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 7>for you know, having something unique in wrestling.

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:53.080
<v Speaker 6>So I've all even though.

0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:54.760
<v Speaker 7>Like I mean to be honest with you, there was

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:57.160
<v Speaker 7>a I would say a five year period where I made,

0:30:57.240 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 7>you know, not a whole lot of money, but to

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 7>get by, and I was pretty happy, you know, Like

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.120
<v Speaker 7>I got to the point where I was like, actually,

0:31:05.200 --> 0:31:08.400
<v Speaker 7>you know what. I remember that I wrestled a wrestler

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:11.440
<v Speaker 7>called Scottie too Houghty. I was in Newcastle, England, and

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 7>there was like two three hundred people there and I

0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 7>made a video I did like.

0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 6>A parody of a bon Jovi song.

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 7>To make fun of them, because I sometimes make videos

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 7>to make fun of my opponents.

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 6>And the crowd went nuts. There was two hundred people.

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 6>There was a great time, and I thought, if this is.

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 7>As big as it gets this, then this is still

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:32.240
<v Speaker 7>pretty damn cool, and I'm going to be the absolute

0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:32.760
<v Speaker 7>best I could be.

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:34.920
<v Speaker 6>I'm going to make great stuff. And when I had

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:38.240
<v Speaker 6>that mentality ship, that's when doors just started to open, left,

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:40.680
<v Speaker 6>right and center. So that was like before TNA, but

0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:41.640
<v Speaker 6>then I get TNA.

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:45.920
<v Speaker 7>I had a great time there, and when it really

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 7>got to the next level of popularity. I think it's

0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 7>when my song was released as a single, because you know,

0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 7>I kind of looked at the charts and I was like,

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:57.040
<v Speaker 7>no way, it's number twenty in the iTunes charts, and

0:31:57.160 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 7>I was like, oh, number twelve. Now, okay, it's number six. Okay,

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:03.200
<v Speaker 7>it's number one on the iTunes chart, and I was like,

0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 7>what is going on? And then actually made it to

0:32:06.640 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 7>the UK's Big Top forty chart and made it to

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:16.080
<v Speaker 7>number six in the UKHR, so I was like, okay,

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:17.600
<v Speaker 7>this is pretty well. So I got a ton of

0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:20.920
<v Speaker 7>press for that, and then you know, I made some

0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 7>other parody, so just blowing up, and then I think

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:27.560
<v Speaker 7>when it just went nuclear was when I appeared in

0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 7>NXT for the first time. So to give you some context,

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:32.720
<v Speaker 7>this is how crazy this is. I showed up in

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 7>NXT and just the clip of my entrance became the

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 7>most viewed video on x for WWE that year out

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 7>of anything. And I wasn't outsigned to the company at

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 7>that point, so we're talking like, you know, it's it

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.560
<v Speaker 7>was in the region of like twenty million views type

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 7>thing for me making my entrance in NXT. So I

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:55.680
<v Speaker 7>think at that point, everybody started to get pretty excited,

0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:57.160
<v Speaker 7>and then you know, you start to think of these

0:32:57.240 --> 0:33:00.720
<v Speaker 7>dream possibilities, like oh what if I was it Royal Rumble.

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:02.880
<v Speaker 7>And I remember getting a call for WrestleMania, and I

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:06.480
<v Speaker 7>thought it was going to be you know, I saw

0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:08.000
<v Speaker 7>the number, and I thought it was going to be,

0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 7>you know, come along and do something type thing or

0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:13.120
<v Speaker 7>not necessarily WrestleMania. But I remember hearing you know, well

0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 7>as you know, when he's an opponent for Randy at WrestleMania,

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:20.960
<v Speaker 7>and I was like, what, so I got Yeah, I

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:23.640
<v Speaker 7>got to do WrestleMania when I wasn't even signed to WWE.

0:33:24.280 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 6>So and like this was so that that was a

0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 6>crazy year. It still is.

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:33.480
<v Speaker 7>Crazy, and I'm grateful for the fact that what I

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 7>found is my entire life. The adventure keeps going. For

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 7>a lot of people, the adventure stops at the end

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 7>of high school or university or whatever. But for me,

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:45.040
<v Speaker 7>the adventure keeps going. And I'm super grateful to be.

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:46.120
<v Speaker 6>In ww I.

0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 7>You know, It's been something I talked about and visualized

0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:52.720
<v Speaker 7>and wanted to do for so long, and to be

0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 7>here now is such an honor and a privilege. To

<v Speaker 7>be here in this company and to learn from the best,

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:00.840
<v Speaker 7>you know, That's the reason I'm ww is to be

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 7>the best wrestler I can be. So I'm super excited

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:06.400
<v Speaker 7>for the opportunity. But yeah, I'm also very grateful for

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:09.480
<v Speaker 7>the fact that my adventure continues. And what I need

0:34:09.560 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 7>to do to make sure that I'm honoring everybody who's

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:14.360
<v Speaker 7>helped me get to this position is I need to deliver.

<v Speaker 7>need to prove them all right, you know, That's what

<v Speaker 7>I'm trying to do by given absolute best efforts.

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:26.320
<v Speaker 1>That's so we actually have had the honor of interviewing

0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:29.600
<v Speaker 1>a few wrestlers, and I'm always so curious and we've asked,

0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 1>We've gotten a couple answers, But it seems like the

0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:36.360
<v Speaker 1>schedule is so rigorous and everything that you're doing is

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 1>so physical. How do you keep your body in the

0:34:41.000 --> 0:34:43.759
<v Speaker 1>shape it needs to be to continue what you're doing?

0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Because I know everybody you're always wrestling through injuries and

0:34:47.719 --> 0:34:49.440
<v Speaker 1>you're hurt, So what do you have to do to

0:34:49.600 --> 0:34:50.200
<v Speaker 1>just keep going?

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:54.960
<v Speaker 7>I mean, touch wood, But I've been super fortunate with

0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:59.920
<v Speaker 7>that side of things, Like I've never had an injury

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.359
<v Speaker 7>that's taken me off TV or anything like that. I've

0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:04.960
<v Speaker 7>been super and I'm super grateful and fortunate for that

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:08.640
<v Speaker 7>being the case. I do like to you know, we

0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:11.680
<v Speaker 7>all do the absolute best that we can to keep

0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 7>each other safe, and we have amazing staff on hand

0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 7>as well. Like so for example, that this is something

0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 7>where the Performance Center has been incredibly valuable to me

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:23.040
<v Speaker 7>because when I went there, it's like they do these

0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:26.040
<v Speaker 7>tests and they go, Okay, here's your blood work, here's

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:30.880
<v Speaker 7>foods that you're intolerant to. Here is vitamins that you

0:35:31.000 --> 0:35:33.600
<v Speaker 7>might be deficient in, and things like that, so you

0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:37.000
<v Speaker 7>know they can actually like for example, I needed to

0:35:37.120 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 7>have more magnesium and you know in my supplements, and

0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:43.799
<v Speaker 7>I found that before I went there, I was kind

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 7>of getting tired at like six pm. But after I started,

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 7>you know, really investigating what nutrients I needed to supplement,

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:53.239
<v Speaker 7>start to add more energy. And you know when I

0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:55.320
<v Speaker 7>the other day at the performance center, when I was

0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:58.080
<v Speaker 7>training legs really hard, you can go through to the

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 7>there's a little medical room where they have like these

0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:03.360
<v Speaker 7>recovery sleeves that you can put on your legs and

0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:06.120
<v Speaker 7>it like compresses the air and it helps you recover

0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:10.480
<v Speaker 7>much faster. So has a huge focus on athlete nutrition

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 7>and recovery. That is I'm finding the rate of my

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:18.319
<v Speaker 7>learning and the tools that have access to is outweighing,

0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:21.319
<v Speaker 7>you know, the decay of age, I guess, because I.

0:36:21.480 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 6>Mean I feel better now than I did. A couple

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:25.320
<v Speaker 6>of you know, a couple of years ago.

0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:39.759
<v Speaker 5>Who gave you the best advice when you were out

0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:43.680
<v Speaker 5>there in Vegas getting ready for your WrestleMania debut, John Cia?

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Really, what advice did you give you?

0:36:48.320 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 7>He is the master of timing and he taught me.

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:56.560
<v Speaker 7>It's one of these things like you'll sometimes get a

0:36:56.600 --> 0:37:01.360
<v Speaker 7>piece of advice that you you'll get a piece of

0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:04.759
<v Speaker 7>advice that you maybe don't fully understand at the time,

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 7>but then maybe a year later it will click. But

0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:10.200
<v Speaker 7>basically it was a piece of advice for like and

0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:13.360
<v Speaker 7>I would say that him and Triple H said the

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:15.160
<v Speaker 7>same thing to me. I was kind of asking them

0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:17.600
<v Speaker 7>about how I should approach my entrance in the rumble,

0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:21.399
<v Speaker 7>because you know, there's an urgency to get to the ring,

0:37:21.800 --> 0:37:24.520
<v Speaker 7>but there's also you know, you want.

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:25.759
<v Speaker 6>To show the people who you are.

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 7>And both John Cena and Triple H were kind of

0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:33.000
<v Speaker 7>emphasizing the point of have your moment and when the

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:35.759
<v Speaker 7>crowd is at their peak and it starts to come down,

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 7>then maybe, you know, the urgency kicks in and you

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:41.759
<v Speaker 7>make your way to the ring and that approach. You know,

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:44.040
<v Speaker 7>it kind of works that way for many things in wrestling.

0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:46.319
<v Speaker 7>So I got a little bit of an insight into,

0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:49.840
<v Speaker 7>you know, speaking to two masters of timing in our business.

0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:53.359
<v Speaker 5>I know there was some chatter at the time about

0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 5>whether Randy Orton beating you the way he did was

0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:59.600
<v Speaker 5>a net positive for Joe Hendry as a new character

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:04.000
<v Speaker 5>in the WWE universe. Considering your opinion is the one

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:06.759
<v Speaker 5>that matters most. What is your overall take on it?

0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:12.160
<v Speaker 7>I mean to me, it's look, some people might be

0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:14.239
<v Speaker 7>offended by this, but anybody that says that was a

0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:16.759
<v Speaker 7>net negative for me just doesn't know what they're talking about.

0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:19.040
<v Speaker 7>They just don't know what they're talking about. I think

0:38:19.080 --> 0:38:21.799
<v Speaker 7>the viewpoint that this is the wrestling business. And all

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:24.600
<v Speaker 7>I can tell you is that I felt that the

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:28.880
<v Speaker 7>fans got a great moment. I felt that that it

0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:33.280
<v Speaker 7>was it was great for Randy because it was difficult.

0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:35.840
<v Speaker 7>They put so much build into the feud with.

0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:36.600
<v Speaker 6>Him and Kevin.

0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:40.200
<v Speaker 7>You know, what do you do if Kevin's not at WrestleMania.

0:38:40.280 --> 0:38:43.080
<v Speaker 7>So we were able to make the best of a

0:38:43.280 --> 0:38:46.480
<v Speaker 7>difficult situation by putting me in there. And like I say,

0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 7>it was a great shock moment for WrestleMania. And I

0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:54.600
<v Speaker 7>know what my value is and where it's at. And

0:38:54.640 --> 0:38:57.239
<v Speaker 7>I'm very good about having an understanding of where that is.

0:38:57.280 --> 0:38:58.879
<v Speaker 7>And I can tell you that because at the time

0:38:58.920 --> 0:39:00.440
<v Speaker 7>I was doing a bunch of signings, and I can

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 7>tell you that demand for my autographs and pictures and

0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:05.960
<v Speaker 7>signatures skyrocket after WrestleMania.

0:39:06.320 --> 0:39:09.279
<v Speaker 6>So I'm in the wrestler business and that was great.

0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:09.880
<v Speaker 6>For business.

0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Great man.

0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:11.920
<v Speaker 7>I love it.

0:39:12.280 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 1>So I've always been curious about this. Take yourself out

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:18.560
<v Speaker 1>of the picture, not you, You can't be one of

0:39:18.640 --> 0:39:21.640
<v Speaker 1>your matches. What's the best wrestling match you've ever seen

0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:22.160
<v Speaker 1>in your life?

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:28.360
<v Speaker 7>The one that I use when people ask me this

0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:32.120
<v Speaker 7>question is Shawn Michaels versus Ric Flair. And the reason

0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:37.160
<v Speaker 7>is because I think as a fan, we all and

0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 7>this was it was Ric Flair's career was on the line,

0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:42.239
<v Speaker 7>and Ric Flair is like my second favorite wrestler at

0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:45.640
<v Speaker 7>all time. And if the story was that if he

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 7>lost their next match, he lost he would be forced

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:49.760
<v Speaker 7>to retire.

0:39:50.360 --> 0:39:52.759
<v Speaker 6>So it's him and Shaw Michael's at WrestleMania at twenty four.

0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:57.640
<v Speaker 6>And look, we all know in our head that Rick

0:39:57.680 --> 0:39:59.960
<v Speaker 6>Flair's career is about to be over, but in our

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:01.480
<v Speaker 6>hearts we wanted to keep going.

0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:05.719
<v Speaker 7>So I remember getting home from school, sitting on the

0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:08.319
<v Speaker 7>chair watching it on the computer, and I started heat

0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:10.360
<v Speaker 7>on the chair, but then I was just moving forward

0:40:10.480 --> 0:40:12.399
<v Speaker 7>on the chair and I was literally on the edge

0:40:12.440 --> 0:40:15.480
<v Speaker 7>of my seat and I just got completely lost in

0:40:15.600 --> 0:40:17.840
<v Speaker 7>the moment. And that was the match that made me

0:40:17.960 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 7>feel the most. That moment where Sean is about to

0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.080
<v Speaker 7>superkick him and end his careerity. He doesn't want to

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:25.400
<v Speaker 7>do it, but he has to do it, And that

0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:29.160
<v Speaker 7>to me was you know, that was cinema, So I

0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:32.719
<v Speaker 7>would say that's that's the match that I think has

0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:34.120
<v Speaker 7>had the biggest impact on me.

0:40:34.960 --> 0:40:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Wow, it was a great match. Even I know that match,

0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:40.279
<v Speaker 1>I know I didn't see Sean Michael sitting there ready

0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:42.600
<v Speaker 1>to kick him, like shaking his head, crying like he

0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to do it. It was an amazing moment.

0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:47.000
<v Speaker 1>It was amazing theatrical moment, It really was.

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.800
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, And that's the thing, like not we can't always

0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:52.040
<v Speaker 7>remember a lot of the moves, but we can remember

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 7>the moments, right, and that match was full of moments,

0:40:54.760 --> 0:40:57.640
<v Speaker 7>and those moments translate to non wrestling bands as well.

0:40:57.840 --> 0:41:02.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, a lot of people go to NXT to get over,

0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:05.880
<v Speaker 5>which for writer and Will is a term for getting

0:41:05.960 --> 0:41:09.160
<v Speaker 5>more popular with the fans through experience and becoming one

0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:12.239
<v Speaker 5>with your character. But there is no doubt that you

0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:16.320
<v Speaker 5>are are already way over with the fans. So is

0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:19.279
<v Speaker 5>WWE looking to tweak your character at all?

0:41:21.520 --> 0:41:22.160
<v Speaker 6>I think that.

0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:29.040
<v Speaker 7>From my experience, I can tell you that WWS welcome

0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:32.680
<v Speaker 7>me with open arms, and it's a collaborative environment because

0:41:33.719 --> 0:41:36.400
<v Speaker 7>I think what we're looking for is to make things

0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:38.200
<v Speaker 7>the absolute best that they can be.

0:41:38.960 --> 0:41:41.880
<v Speaker 6>And so we know that I've managed to get to

0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:42.960
<v Speaker 6>a certain point.

0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:46.040
<v Speaker 7>With the tools that I've had, but now I have

0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:48.480
<v Speaker 7>in the same way that the performance center gives me

0:41:48.520 --> 0:41:51.920
<v Speaker 7>physical tools and now have creative tools that I didn't

0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:55.520
<v Speaker 7>have before. Now with the production value of WW, that

0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:59.360
<v Speaker 7>are that are maybe other bells and whistles that we

0:41:59.440 --> 0:42:01.319
<v Speaker 7>can add to the music side of things. That are

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:05.600
<v Speaker 7>things that I'm going to learn from. You know, ww's

0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:10.600
<v Speaker 7>method of how they produced professional wrestling, Like I just

0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:14.840
<v Speaker 7>took part in the Iron Survivor match an XT deadline,

0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:17.200
<v Speaker 7>which is basically you have it's a twenty five minute match.

0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:20.120
<v Speaker 7>Every five minutes someone who comes out and every time

0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:23.200
<v Speaker 7>someone is pinned, there's ninety seconds in the penalty box,

0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:29.640
<v Speaker 7>which creates chaos and complexities and storylines overlapping and it's

0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:32.480
<v Speaker 7>it's putting me in new situations that I've never been

0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:36.280
<v Speaker 7>in before, and it really helps me to understand ww's

0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:39.040
<v Speaker 7>approach to producing wrestling, which I.

0:42:39.360 --> 0:42:42.920
<v Speaker 6>Understand from what I understand is they are making movies

0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:46.600
<v Speaker 6>and that's and so when we were approaching this match.

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:48.279
<v Speaker 6>That's how it felt to me. It wasn't just like

0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:51.040
<v Speaker 6>you know, a regular match. It felt like we.

0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:55.600
<v Speaker 7>Were making all making a movie together. And I've enjoyed

0:42:55.719 --> 0:42:58.360
<v Speaker 7>learning that process. That's my understanding.

0:42:58.400 --> 0:43:01.080
<v Speaker 5>And Max, well, you've joined in the company right at

0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:05.120
<v Speaker 5>one of its biggest milestone moments. John Cena's final match

0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:09.080
<v Speaker 5>taking place tomorrow night in Washington, d C. For Saturday

0:43:09.160 --> 0:43:12.400
<v Speaker 5>Night's main event. What has John Cena meant to you

0:43:12.880 --> 0:43:13.520
<v Speaker 5>over the years.

0:43:15.160 --> 0:43:17.960
<v Speaker 7>I think that there are so many answers that I

0:43:18.040 --> 0:43:20.960
<v Speaker 7>could give to this, but I'd like to give the

0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:23.960
<v Speaker 7>one that is sticking out in my mind right now,

0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:28.200
<v Speaker 7>and that is that he is just the utmost professional.

0:43:29.560 --> 0:43:31.600
<v Speaker 6>He is. He is so professional.

0:43:32.120 --> 0:43:36.040
<v Speaker 7>He is just the example of someone who does the

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:38.520
<v Speaker 7>job to their best, the best of their ability, and

0:43:38.640 --> 0:43:41.640
<v Speaker 7>goes above and beyond. And it's not just about the

0:43:42.520 --> 0:43:45.799
<v Speaker 7>in ring side of things. It's about his interactions with the.

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:48.440
<v Speaker 6>Fans as well. Like I just saw a video package

0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:53.480
<v Speaker 6>the other day where John was watching some footage of

0:43:53.760 --> 0:43:55.919
<v Speaker 6>a kid that made a video for him, and they'd

0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:57.880
<v Speaker 6>said that his.

0:43:58.840 --> 0:44:03.960
<v Speaker 7>Like he had helped his his family overcome, you know,

0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:07.880
<v Speaker 7>with with how they processed and overcame and recovered from cancer.

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:10.040
<v Speaker 7>And it was like, you know, so the kid was

0:44:10.080 --> 0:44:11.960
<v Speaker 7>saying his mom had cancer, and he was saying to

0:44:12.040 --> 0:44:14.799
<v Speaker 7>his mom, like, you know, John Cena says, never give up.

0:44:14.880 --> 0:44:15.920
<v Speaker 6>So I believe in you.

0:44:16.040 --> 0:44:18.960
<v Speaker 7>You you you never give up and you never gave

0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:21.160
<v Speaker 7>up and and she said, and he said that that

0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:25.360
<v Speaker 7>helped motivate his family to stay positive and keep positive.

0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:31.359
<v Speaker 7>And you know you it's we could. There's so many

0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.080
<v Speaker 7>like countly he's the greatest of all time when.

0:44:33.960 --> 0:44:36.480
<v Speaker 6>It comes to actually doing professional wrestling. I think that

0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:40.360
<v Speaker 6>that is. I agree with that. I think he's the

0:44:40.400 --> 0:44:40.799
<v Speaker 6>greatest of.

0:44:40.800 --> 0:44:42.840
<v Speaker 7>All time, and I think it's everything is subjective, but

0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:47.359
<v Speaker 7>to me, I think it's as close to objective fact

0:44:47.440 --> 0:44:49.360
<v Speaker 7>as you can get to say that he's the greatest

0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:51.160
<v Speaker 7>of all time. But it's not just the in ring stuff.

0:44:51.520 --> 0:44:54.440
<v Speaker 7>It's the time that he's taken with the fans like

0:44:55.239 --> 0:44:58.800
<v Speaker 7>he is the He has more make a wish visits

0:44:59.080 --> 0:45:04.000
<v Speaker 7>than any other human being. And to me, even that

0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:10.520
<v Speaker 7>in itself is an achievement and a contribution that most

0:45:10.560 --> 0:45:14.279
<v Speaker 7>people couldn't even fathom. Think about the good that that

0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:16.879
<v Speaker 7>has put out into the universe and to be honest,

0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:21.719
<v Speaker 7>that is very when you think about that, it inspires

0:45:22.200 --> 0:45:25.440
<v Speaker 7>other wrestlers to be better. So I think John has

0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:28.080
<v Speaker 7>said publicly his goal was to leave the place better

0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:30.840
<v Speaker 7>than he found it, and I think he has absolutely

0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:31.080
<v Speaker 7>done that.

0:45:32.120 --> 0:45:35.680
<v Speaker 2>He definitely has. Do you have a favorite John Cena match?

0:45:38.560 --> 0:45:38.759
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:43.840
<v Speaker 7>I have a few, So I would say him versus

0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:48.320
<v Speaker 7>CM Punk Get Money in the Bank twenty eleven was

0:45:48.400 --> 0:45:51.520
<v Speaker 7>a real pivotal moment in the wrestling business. And again,

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:55.200
<v Speaker 7>just like we said before, it's those moments that we remember,

0:45:55.280 --> 0:45:58.080
<v Speaker 7>and that match was just it was It was awesome.

0:45:59.080 --> 0:46:02.440
<v Speaker 7>That is one I think for me. You know, my

0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:04.680
<v Speaker 7>favorite wrestler when I got into the business was The Rock,

0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:07.640
<v Speaker 7>So seeing him clash with The Rock that first time

0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:08.759
<v Speaker 7>is just something I never.

0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:09.279
<v Speaker 6>Thought i'd see.

0:46:09.320 --> 0:46:11.759
<v Speaker 7>I thought that The Rock was gone forever, you know,

0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:14.759
<v Speaker 7>and he came back after seven years and they had

0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:17.000
<v Speaker 7>the you know, over a year's build and then they

0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:19.640
<v Speaker 7>faced each other. I think it was wrestling at twenty eight,

0:46:20.320 --> 0:46:26.040
<v Speaker 7>so that's up there. I also think that the match

0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:28.920
<v Speaker 7>he had with when Rock Lesnar returned in twenty fourteen

0:46:30.080 --> 0:46:34.200
<v Speaker 7>was amazing for different reasons. It was just like an

0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:39.120
<v Speaker 7>intensity that that an uncomfortableness that I'd never really seen

0:46:39.160 --> 0:46:40.520
<v Speaker 7>in a professional match before.

0:46:42.360 --> 0:46:45.480
<v Speaker 6>So that was like a completely different form of art there.

0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:48.640
<v Speaker 6>It's hard to pick one, but are there are just

0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:51.480
<v Speaker 6>there are so many, so many great ones. One that

0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:53.800
<v Speaker 6>really had an impact to me was him versus RVD

0:46:53.920 --> 0:46:55.000
<v Speaker 6>at one night Stanton as.

0:46:54.880 --> 0:46:59.080
<v Speaker 7>Well, Oh, because he was like he was literally he

0:46:59.160 --> 0:47:00.720
<v Speaker 7>was getting bood out of the building.

0:47:01.000 --> 0:47:03.600
<v Speaker 6>He was there and it was it was a career

0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:08.760
<v Speaker 6>defining moment for him because he just pushed through.

0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:11.800
<v Speaker 7>All the backlash and that you know, as wrestlers, we

0:47:11.880 --> 0:47:14.040
<v Speaker 7>all get a lot of backclash, even the most popular

0:47:14.040 --> 0:47:14.759
<v Speaker 7>wrestlers in the world.

0:47:14.800 --> 0:47:17.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we'll just get haters all day, every day.

0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:21.400
<v Speaker 7>And that was like an entire building at the Hammerstein

0:47:21.480 --> 0:47:24.439
<v Speaker 7>ball Room just screaming at him, wanting to lose.

0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:28.080
<v Speaker 6>Bay just pushed through it and to have the the

0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:32.839
<v Speaker 6>confidence to do that, that was pretty cult too. Well.

0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:35.800
<v Speaker 5>In a very John Cena move, he has asked that

0:47:35.920 --> 0:47:40.239
<v Speaker 5>the rest of the matches tomorrow night have established WWE

0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:44.560
<v Speaker 5>superstars going up against the up and coming NX tiers.

0:47:45.120 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 5>So if you were included on this card, who would

0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:52.800
<v Speaker 5>you want to wrestle? If you were to be included.

0:47:55.640 --> 0:48:01.799
<v Speaker 7>I mean, wow, that that is I mean, it's hard

0:48:01.840 --> 0:48:03.640
<v Speaker 7>for me to think about that, because, to be honest,

0:48:03.920 --> 0:48:06.320
<v Speaker 7>the thing I am thinking about is my one of

0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:06.920
<v Speaker 7>my best.

0:48:06.760 --> 0:48:08.360
<v Speaker 6>Friends in the business, Leon Slayer.

0:48:09.040 --> 0:48:12.720
<v Speaker 7>He is is on the card and him and Javon

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:17.360
<v Speaker 7>Evans are facing AJ Styles and Dragon Lee, and Leon

0:48:17.480 --> 0:48:19.800
<v Speaker 7>has stated publicly that his dream.

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:20.840
<v Speaker 6>Match is AJ Styles.

0:48:21.080 --> 0:48:25.000
<v Speaker 7>So for me, like, I'm super happy for my friend

0:48:25.040 --> 0:48:27.520
<v Speaker 7>because I've had you know, I had that Rumble moment,

0:48:27.560 --> 0:48:29.680
<v Speaker 7>I had that Wrestlemanium moment, and now I'm getting to

0:48:29.760 --> 0:48:31.640
<v Speaker 7>see one of my best friends.

0:48:31.400 --> 0:48:34.320
<v Speaker 6>Have their dream match on this iconic card.

0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:38.040
<v Speaker 7>So to me, that's like, that's and in terms of

0:48:38.239 --> 0:48:39.920
<v Speaker 7>match qualie, that's just going to be as good as

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:40.359
<v Speaker 7>it gets.

0:48:40.400 --> 0:48:42.480
<v Speaker 6>So that's that's where my thinking is right now.

0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:47.600
<v Speaker 7>Okay, I'm excited for Leon, I'm happy for Javaon as well,

0:48:47.719 --> 0:48:48.839
<v Speaker 7>and everyone on the card.

0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:50.520
<v Speaker 6>That is just it's it's awesome.

0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:55.239
<v Speaker 5>Okay, then let's remove the event tomorrow night. Who is

0:48:55.360 --> 0:48:58.760
<v Speaker 5>your dream match right now? I know it probably changes,

0:48:58.840 --> 0:49:00.520
<v Speaker 5>but as of right now, if you to take your

0:49:00.560 --> 0:49:02.080
<v Speaker 5>dream match, who would it be?

0:49:05.840 --> 0:49:09.800
<v Speaker 7>I have have I will say this, So my my

0:49:10.000 --> 0:49:17.760
<v Speaker 7>five favorite wrestlers where The Rock, Rick Flair, Kurt Angle,

0:49:18.120 --> 0:49:21.920
<v Speaker 7>John Cena, and Chris Chenko. I've already wrestled Kert Angle,

0:49:22.160 --> 0:49:25.279
<v Speaker 7>which I was very lucky to do. I will say this,

0:49:26.520 --> 0:49:28.840
<v Speaker 7>there's a video. Not many people know this, but it

0:49:28.920 --> 0:49:32.840
<v Speaker 7>is online. There's a video from twenty seventeen where I

0:49:32.960 --> 0:49:34.040
<v Speaker 7>make a bold claim.

0:49:34.239 --> 0:49:37.120
<v Speaker 6>It's on YouTube. When I make a bold claim, not

0:49:37.239 --> 0:49:39.239
<v Speaker 6>saying it's a match, not saying anything, but I do

0:49:39.480 --> 0:49:42.799
<v Speaker 6>say I will stand in a professional wrestling ring.

0:49:43.800 --> 0:49:47.239
<v Speaker 7>And I'm basically in that video, I'm saying one day

0:49:47.600 --> 0:49:49.279
<v Speaker 7>I'll come face to face with the Rock.

0:49:49.800 --> 0:49:51.360
<v Speaker 6>So that's what that's what.

0:49:52.360 --> 0:49:56.840
<v Speaker 7>So, Hey, that could be in a wrestling ring or

0:49:56.920 --> 0:49:59.520
<v Speaker 7>a backstage promo or something like that, you know, I

0:50:00.040 --> 0:50:02.640
<v Speaker 7>and hey, anything can happen. Because I mean Ethan Page,

0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:05.759
<v Speaker 7>who is the NXT North American Champion. He ended up

0:50:06.080 --> 0:50:09.440
<v Speaker 7>and face to face with The Rock on NXT, you know.

0:50:09.880 --> 0:50:12.920
<v Speaker 7>So I think that's what's exciting is that brands crossover.

0:50:13.000 --> 0:50:17.919
<v Speaker 7>So that's a kind of that's a dream scenario. But yeah,

0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:23.359
<v Speaker 7>that's I would love to I've never I've not had

0:50:23.400 --> 0:50:26.600
<v Speaker 7>a chance to properly. I think I said I've said

0:50:26.640 --> 0:50:28.359
<v Speaker 7>hello to Rick Flair, but I've never had a chance

0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:30.520
<v Speaker 7>to have a conversation with him, so that'd be that'd

0:50:30.520 --> 0:50:31.239
<v Speaker 7>be really cool too.

0:50:32.000 --> 0:50:36.880
<v Speaker 5>Man, that's awesome now, jes So you know, liv Morgan

0:50:37.360 --> 0:50:41.920
<v Speaker 5>is the official female pod Meets World champion, so we

0:50:42.080 --> 0:50:44.680
<v Speaker 5>are in the market for a male counterpart.

0:50:44.760 --> 0:50:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Would you would you be interested?

0:50:47.440 --> 0:50:48.719
<v Speaker 7>What do I need to do to be I mean

0:50:48.800 --> 0:50:52.000
<v Speaker 7>to be champion? That's that's, you know, a big responsibility.

0:50:52.080 --> 0:50:56.040
<v Speaker 7>So I've never seen the show. I do recall seeing

0:50:56.280 --> 0:50:57.719
<v Speaker 7>the show like advertised.

0:50:59.400 --> 0:51:01.160
<v Speaker 2>It's enough, that's it. We just tell you.

0:51:02.719 --> 0:51:04.960
<v Speaker 7>I'm going to do my search after this. I'm good

0:51:05.000 --> 0:51:06.719
<v Speaker 7>and you know it's going to have to go no way.

0:51:06.960 --> 0:51:09.799
<v Speaker 7>I was on the podcast for those guys, so I'm

0:51:09.840 --> 0:51:11.200
<v Speaker 7>going to do a better search I can. I ask

0:51:11.239 --> 0:51:13.680
<v Speaker 7>you guys a quick question. That's a good question. So

0:51:13.920 --> 0:51:16.359
<v Speaker 7>how do you all feel about the fact you got

0:51:16.440 --> 0:51:19.000
<v Speaker 7>to do this really cool thing and now you're kind

0:51:19.000 --> 0:51:20.200
<v Speaker 7>of back together again doing this.

0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:21.520
<v Speaker 6>How does that feel? Well?

0:51:21.560 --> 0:51:22.880
<v Speaker 2>We never really left?

0:51:23.880 --> 0:51:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, come on, that's doing the podcast has been

0:51:28.760 --> 0:51:31.600
<v Speaker 3>like yeah, it's it's life changing. It's been so amazing,

0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:35.239
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, we got to go on tour and the

0:51:35.800 --> 0:51:39.320
<v Speaker 3>connection with our fan base just like it's you know,

0:51:39.640 --> 0:51:42.520
<v Speaker 3>we feel like we grew up with America and it's

0:51:42.680 --> 0:51:44.920
<v Speaker 3>you know it was. It was so funny because when

0:51:45.200 --> 0:51:47.720
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that relationship was always kind of one sided,

0:51:48.000 --> 0:51:50.640
<v Speaker 3>and now doing the podcast, it feels like it's it's

0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:51.640
<v Speaker 3>going both directions.

0:51:51.680 --> 0:51:52.320
<v Speaker 4>It's wonderful.

0:51:53.120 --> 0:51:55.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's great.

0:51:55.400 --> 0:51:58.920
<v Speaker 5>Unlike with wrestling, where you're you like you said, so

0:51:59.200 --> 0:52:01.800
<v Speaker 5>much of what you do is about whether or not

0:52:01.960 --> 0:52:05.440
<v Speaker 5>you have a connection, interaction, interaction with the fans.

0:52:05.840 --> 0:52:06.960
<v Speaker 2>We're doing sitcom.

0:52:07.239 --> 0:52:09.680
<v Speaker 5>We didn't have that back then, especially in the nineties

0:52:09.719 --> 0:52:12.839
<v Speaker 5>where there wasn't even social media. But now we're able

0:52:12.880 --> 0:52:15.640
<v Speaker 5>to do conventions, we're able to meet people face to face.

0:52:15.760 --> 0:52:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Like writer said, we went on a live tour.

0:52:17.680 --> 0:52:20.480
<v Speaker 5>We were performing for thousands of people and then doing

0:52:20.600 --> 0:52:25.920
<v Speaker 5>meet and greets after and now every week we share

0:52:26.200 --> 0:52:30.520
<v Speaker 5>ourselves with the audience, and then when people come up

0:52:30.560 --> 0:52:32.920
<v Speaker 5>to us and they tell us they listen to the podcast,

0:52:33.040 --> 0:52:37.520
<v Speaker 5>we know they actually know us, not just the characters

0:52:37.560 --> 0:52:41.080
<v Speaker 5>they've seen us play. And it's made such a difference

0:52:41.239 --> 0:52:45.239
<v Speaker 5>in the appreciation we have for the years we spent

0:52:45.400 --> 0:52:46.319
<v Speaker 5>doing Boy Meets World.

0:52:46.800 --> 0:52:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you, I think we need an entrance

0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:49.040
<v Speaker 1>song now.

0:52:49.080 --> 0:52:49.800
<v Speaker 6>Though I know.

0:52:50.200 --> 0:52:53.480

<v Speaker 5>guys were going to love that video.

0:54:59.840 --> 0:55:01.280
<v Speaker 4>I the middle it kind of correct.

0:55:01.520 --> 0:55:01.759
<v Speaker 3>Great.

0:55:02.280 --> 0:55:05.319
<v Speaker 5>It just reminds me so much like when I think

0:55:05.400 --> 0:55:09.160
<v Speaker 5>of things that I know will get writer, like certain

0:55:09.280 --> 0:55:12.160
<v Speaker 5>aspects of wrestling that writer loves. It's hard, and it

0:55:12.280 --> 0:55:15.520
<v Speaker 5>is true that it's hard to if you don't love

0:55:15.640 --> 0:55:16.480
<v Speaker 5>every aspect of it.

0:55:16.560 --> 0:55:17.760
<v Speaker 2>It's a big time commitment.

0:55:17.960 --> 0:55:18.120
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:55:18.239 --> 0:55:20.160
<v Speaker 2>The matches are very long going to the things.

0:55:20.200 --> 0:55:22.040
<v Speaker 5>It's like an all day event, and if you don't

0:55:22.080 --> 0:55:24.960
<v Speaker 5>love every single aspect of it, then maybe you're just

0:55:25.040 --> 0:55:27.319
<v Speaker 5>not going to be an overall fan. But there are

0:55:27.480 --> 0:55:30.640
<v Speaker 5>elements that I go this will speak to writer. Joe

0:55:30.800 --> 0:55:33.160
<v Speaker 5>Hendry is one of those elements.

0:55:33.239 --> 0:55:37.600
<v Speaker 3>And character character, like the creativity of that character, the specificity,

0:55:37.680 --> 0:55:39.040
<v Speaker 3>like the way he was able to pitch it is

0:55:39.120 --> 0:55:41.520
<v Speaker 3>like the guy at the party that every You're like,

0:55:41.600 --> 0:55:42.960
<v Speaker 3>that is so clever.

0:55:43.000 --> 0:55:46.200
<v Speaker 4>And deep, you know, like that's a that's so interesting.

0:55:46.239 --> 0:55:46.560
<v Speaker 6>I love it.

0:55:46.600 --> 0:55:50.240
<v Speaker 1>It's also interesting to really talk to somebody who gets

0:55:50.280 --> 0:55:52.799
<v Speaker 1>into this. I know they all get it, but who

0:55:52.880 --> 0:55:55.719
<v Speaker 1>really talks about the idea that it's like it's a business. Yeah,

0:55:55.760 --> 0:55:58.000
<v Speaker 1>there's tons of aspects to the business. And that's one

0:55:58.040 --> 0:55:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons he keeps talking about John Cena's like,

0:56:00.120 --> 0:56:02.680
<v Speaker 1>here's somebody who came in and got the business right away.

0:56:02.760 --> 0:56:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Where in the ring is one thing. Out of the

0:56:05.239 --> 0:56:07.080
<v Speaker 1>ring is one thing, Your persona is one thing. How

0:56:07.120 --> 0:56:08.719
<v Speaker 1>you deal with the fans is one thing. I mean,

0:56:08.760 --> 0:56:11.640
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a business. So people forget that, and it

0:56:11.680 --> 0:56:13.759
<v Speaker 1>seems like he was, you know, seen as the best

0:56:13.840 --> 0:56:14.040
<v Speaker 1>at it.

0:56:14.560 --> 0:56:15.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was. Yeah.

0:56:16.160 --> 0:56:19.839
<v Speaker 5>He Sina is incredible and Joe Hendry is truly one

0:56:19.840 --> 0:56:24.200
<v Speaker 5>of my favorite newer, you know, people to enter into

0:56:24.560 --> 0:56:25.200
