Speaker 1: Well, hello, this is our first time reporting since the
Speaker 1: start of the Los Angeles fires, the many many Los
Speaker 1: Angeles fires. Yeah, writer, you flew home kind of right
Speaker 1: at the Yeah, in the midst it had just kind
Speaker 1: of started really well.
Speaker 2: By the time we landed, it was kind of raging. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: it was. It was happening because.
Speaker 1: You got back on a Thursday, and the fire started
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, So you're right. We had had two
Speaker 1: full days.
Speaker 3: Of intense winds and fire.
Speaker 4: The winds were I'd never been I mean, I've been
Speaker 4: in East Coast hurricanes and I've never been in winds
Speaker 4: like that. I mean, obviously I wasn't in huge hurricanes,
Speaker 4: but growing up in cant you'd have the occasional hurricane
Speaker 4: would blow through the winds that Tuesday night here in
Speaker 4: Los Angeles were there was a wind in our town, Danielle,
Speaker 4: that was ninety eight miles an hour. I know.
Speaker 1: And you know, growing up in Orange County, we get
Speaker 1: the Santa Ana wins really strong or Santa Anna is
Speaker 1: in Orange County, like, we get really strong winds. And
Speaker 1: I have experienced I've lived in southern California my entire life.
Speaker 1: I have experienced intense winds. Those winds Tuesday night, the
Speaker 1: whole house was shaking. It sounded like an earthquake. Things
Speaker 1: that were, you know, tree branches dropping on the house
Speaker 1: that were allowed on cars.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 3: It was, Yeah, it was something I'd never really experienced.
Speaker 6: That nge.
Speaker 4: We had a massive one, like a massive branch that
Speaker 4: was probably a foot around that snap fell all the
Speaker 4: way down and then slammed against our gate, so ith
Speaker 4: like we were trapped inside. We couldn't get out the
Speaker 4: front way because I then didn't want to go out
Speaker 4: and start cutting it in the middle of the windstorm
Speaker 4: because it's right under the giant Ain't tree.
Speaker 5: Yes, so it was.
Speaker 4: I mean it was intense. That first night especially was
Speaker 4: crazy wind wise.
Speaker 1: And writer, what was your situation with knowing who was
Speaker 1: staying at your house or your cats had already been evacuated?
Speaker 1: What's the situation?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we had we had friends staying at our house,
Speaker 2: but they actually left I think Tuesday morning, so our
Speaker 2: house was empty. And yeah, you know, it was just
Speaker 2: it was just like texting, emailing, catching up with everybody
Speaker 2: and just figuring out what you know, it's it's been crazy.
Speaker 5: Was there a chance your flight was going to be
Speaker 5: delayed or canceled. Was that ever?
Speaker 2: We thought so, but no, like I guess, like smoke doesn't,
Speaker 2: it didn't. It didn't affect like we were able to land.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we're we're Yeah.
Speaker 5: It was just it was so.
Speaker 2: Bizarre to be away, uh and trying to catch up
Speaker 2: on who's been evacuated, where everybody is. Yeah, so we
Speaker 2: had friends can't come and get our cats, and they
Speaker 2: took our cats and.
Speaker 1: Closest to the Eton fire. Yeah, okay, so you're closest
Speaker 1: to the Eating fire. Will and I were closest to
Speaker 1: the Palisades Kenneth fire when that one and the Kenneth
Speaker 1: fire when that one started.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I think everybody that I know
Speaker 5: that lost their house was in Altadena.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually I know I know one person in
Speaker 2: the Palisades, and Ala was very much our community. Like
Speaker 2: I feel like everybody has been buying in that neighborhood
Speaker 2: the last like five years, like that's been the that's
Speaker 2: been the up and coming spot, you know, So like
Speaker 2: we know a lot of people in that and just
Speaker 2: lost everything. I know.
Speaker 5: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: So many families both in Altadena and in the palisades
Speaker 1: have had those homes for fifty sixty years. Like they're
Speaker 1: homes of people who bought you know, decades and decades ago,
Speaker 1: and their grandparents still live there, or they've been passed
Speaker 1: down to kids. It's very a lot of generational homes.
Speaker 1: And we know, you know, I mean the number of
Speaker 1: people I know immediately who've lost their entire homes. I
Speaker 1: stop myself from saying who've lost everything, because I thankfully
Speaker 1: don't know anybody who lost a family member or a pet.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have. I don't know
Speaker 1: anybody personally who has. Everyone I know has said, my
Speaker 1: family is safe, my animals are safe. And I was
Speaker 1: able to leave at least with the clothes on my
Speaker 1: back and a suitcase packed. Possibly, But there are a
Speaker 1: lot of people who have, you know, really lost all
Speaker 1: their possessions, certainly, and all the memories that go along
Speaker 1: with those possessions, and you know, the stories. It's like,
Speaker 1: when we started, we've been on a roller coaster of
Speaker 1: whether or not we had to evacuate. Will and I
Speaker 1: were checking in with each other constantly. We got two
Speaker 1: evacuation warnings and then both of those ended.
Speaker 3: Up being lifted.
Speaker 1: But when you then go to start packing and thinking, okay,
Speaker 1: I've been given a warning, what are the things that
Speaker 1: are really important? It's crazy one how few things at
Speaker 1: first are really important. You're like, what are the things
Speaker 1: that are going to bring my kids comfort every night?
Speaker 1: The immediate things what do they sleep with? What do
Speaker 1: they sleep on? What are their favorite clothes? And and
Speaker 1: and then some pictures, and you go, wow, really, when
Speaker 1: I when it comes down to it, these few things
Speaker 1: are the only really important things. But then when you
Speaker 1: have a little bit more time, all of a sudden
Speaker 1: it occurred to me, what about all those Boy Meets
Speaker 1: World photos that I have in the garage, Like all
Speaker 1: of those things like they like I didn't think about
Speaker 1: those immediately thought of like my kids photos that are
Speaker 1: in the house, or like all those teen magazines I
Speaker 1: have of us, like all of those memories. And then
Speaker 1: it occurred to me, also in the garage are things
Speaker 1: like my Boy Meets World jackets and and like all
Speaker 1: of that stuff. And you think, wow, Jensen's Mom's stuff
Speaker 1: we have. You know, Jensen's mom passed a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, and we've got a bin in our garage
Speaker 1: of her stuff. Of course, we have thumb drives of
Speaker 1: photos that we that we were able to grab really quickly.
Speaker 1: But then when you back away, you go, oh wow,
Speaker 1: if I expand on, just like what do I need
Speaker 1: in the immediate There are so many things that are
Speaker 1: attached to lifetimes of memories and experiences that that means something.
Speaker 1: And so, you know, while stuff is replaceable, when I like,
Speaker 1: my heart really breaks for the families who lost you know,
Speaker 1: things about their childhood, their parents' childhood, their kid's child.
Speaker 5: It's a really weird form of trauma, you know.
Speaker 2: I I kind of went through this firsthand with Shiloh.
Speaker 5: Shiloh lost everything fourteen fifteen years ago, God is it
Speaker 5: that wildfire?
Speaker 2: Wildfire in Santa Barbara, and you know, watching him go
Speaker 2: through it, it was really rough because there's something about
Speaker 2: losing your physical possessions. There's like this, there's there's a
Speaker 2: level of like you you don't want to be a
Speaker 2: to stuff, right like we all want to believe that
Speaker 2: we don't care about our stuff.
Speaker 5: So I know for Shiloh, like there was this part
Speaker 5: of him was like Okay, well I lost everything.
Speaker 2: I lost everything in my life, but I'm still okay,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm alive and and and my friends are
Speaker 2: and everybody's fine, and so I shouldn't worry about that.
Speaker 2: He almost couldn't allow himself to feel the sadness of
Speaker 2: like losing his stuff because he didn't want to be superficial.
Speaker 5: Does that make sense, Like, but the truth is we
Speaker 5: are attached to stuff.
Speaker 2: We do, have physical objects, we do and and it
Speaker 2: is so personal to lose that stuff.
Speaker 5: And it took him. It took him like a year.
Speaker 5: I mean it was. It was awful because he would
Speaker 5: go through these phases.
Speaker 2: Of like, oh, I'm fine and then just completely fall
Speaker 2: apart the next month.
Speaker 4: And I remember he so, you know, he moved in
Speaker 4: with me after the fire, and I remember one night
Speaker 4: him going, hey, I don't have a belt, Like it
Speaker 4: was it's all the little things like that, you don't
Speaker 4: think about it. And he literally didn't have a belt,
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, let me, I'll go grab
Speaker 4: you one, because you just look down like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: I don't I don't even don't have that. And then
Speaker 4: you know, because I did the same thing, Daniel. You're
Speaker 4: walking around the house and it's kind of and I'm
Speaker 4: one of those people unfortunate. You guys always joke about
Speaker 4: how I never throw anything away. I attached sentimentality to
Speaker 4: an object. So it's you know, oh, I can't get
Speaker 4: rid of that shirt because I wore that shirt at
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, which at the end of the day
Speaker 4: is a ridiculous thing, but it's how my mind works.
Speaker 4: I touch an object and the memory comes back, and
Speaker 4: so you do you think about because I remember I
Speaker 4: was taking when Shiloh was here. We were having long
Speaker 4: talks at night where he was like, there is a
Speaker 4: wonderful freedom to it, and at the same time he's like,
Speaker 4: there's also a survivor's guilt to it, because he was like,
Speaker 4: people lost their lives, so me losing my clothes, I'm
Speaker 4: not going to sit here and bitch about it. But
Speaker 4: then you kind of have to allow yourself to go no,
Speaker 4: it's it's okay to be sad.
Speaker 5: That you lost all your stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's a man, There's going to be
Speaker 4: a lot going on and a lot of emotionalness.
Speaker 2: The next I mean, I feel like la, it's it's
Speaker 2: such as it's such an interesting emergency because it's actually
Speaker 2: like we're all freaked.
Speaker 5: Out and we're all feeling it right now.
Speaker 7: But the truth is it's going to be like two
Speaker 7: or three years of real work, Like this city is
Speaker 7: going to have to rebuild in such a crazy way,
Speaker 7: and I feel like the crisis is.
Speaker 5: It's really just beginning. And unfortunately in California.
Speaker 4: This is also the thing that people forget is this
Speaker 4: is just the first.
Speaker 5: Of the whammyes that is coming.
Speaker 4: Because when we get fires that are this bad in
Speaker 4: a place this dry, when it does rain.
Speaker 3: Then it's floods.
Speaker 5: It'll rain for three.
Speaker 4: Days and then there'll be floods in mudslines, and it's like,
Speaker 4: this is just the start of what's happening, and it is. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's insane to watch all this stuff go on, but
Speaker 4: it's also you see the best and worst of humanity
Speaker 4: when when something like this happens and you're seeing people
Speaker 4: really coming together. I'm sure you know, right you're talking
Speaker 4: about texting your neighbors and getting in touch your neighbors.
Speaker 5: Our neighbors were all together.
Speaker 4: And walking our streets and patrolling the streets and seeing
Speaker 4: what people needed. And you really can see the best
Speaker 4: of people when this stuff comes to you.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I actually, like, you know, really optimistically,
Speaker 2: I think it's really going to bring.
Speaker 5: LA together together. I feel like the.
Speaker 2: City it kind of needs this, like you know, like
Speaker 2: we're going to be a better city. It's it's it's
Speaker 2: it's it's an identity crisis. But I feel I'm super positive,
Speaker 2: Like I'm amazed at how yeah, just how awesome people
Speaker 2: are and how much like yeah, like the gofund me
Speaker 2: pages like, uh, they've been they've been going crazy and
Speaker 2: it's like wow, Wow, people are really people really shut.
Speaker 3: And we're not gonna We're not going to tell you
Speaker 3: where to donate.
Speaker 1: If you have the ability to donate, you've seen a
Speaker 1: million places you can donate. La.
Speaker 3: The city is going to bounce back, we have.
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. But it will need some assistance.
Speaker 1: And we've all donated to our individual places and to
Speaker 1: a bunch of gofundmes for people we know who have
Speaker 1: lost their stuff. And yeah, we don't want to linger
Speaker 1: too long on that, but La, you will be back
Speaker 1: to your weird, quirky, wondrous.
Speaker 5: We're strong, we.
Speaker 3: Know you're resilient. You'll bounce back.
Speaker 1: I do want to announce that the unthinkable has happened.
Speaker 1: It's like the Boston Boston Red Sox winning the World
Speaker 1: Series in two thousand and four. Will not only one
Speaker 1: his first draft, he won two.
Speaker 5: Four and five.
Speaker 1: Both Will got the most votes for both the Season
Speaker 1: four and Season drags.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think season one of those you were definitely
Speaker 2: the leader.
Speaker 5: But I feel like another one was was. Yes, I'm
Speaker 5: trying to kill. I'm trying to remember. I hear anything
Speaker 5: that you losers are saying. I'd like to start by
Speaker 5: thanking my family.
Speaker 1: This entire time, for Connecticut, for Connecticut, for the fans.
Speaker 1: I want them both, on them both, so the streak
Speaker 1: has ended. I I agree with you, writer. I think
Speaker 1: at least one of those was just a pity totally.

Speaker 2: like the most random collection of.
Speaker 5: Season five? Season five? I had the good because season.
Speaker 4: Five I had like raging Corey yea raging and I
Speaker 4: had Season five deserved.

Speaker 2: thousand and eight. Colex and I went, and then we
Speaker 2: went back in two thousand and nine because I ended
Speaker 2: up doing a play in Australia and I was like, whoa,

Speaker 5: Back to New Zealand.
Speaker 2: So we did the North Island the first time, in
Speaker 2: the South Island second time. And I've just been waiting
Speaker 2: for Indy to get old enough to be able to
Speaker 2: do the stuff.
Speaker 5: Like all the outdoors it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean, look, he's not an outdoors kid.
Speaker 5: He's not an outdoorsy kid. It's hysterical.

Speaker 2: like thrills. So he went bunchie jumping with my wife.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, the video game. Send us that video.
Speaker 5: He wanted to go skydiving. That was the compromise, guys.
Speaker 2: He He's like, he wants to jump out of a
Speaker 2: plane and we were like, no, like and you can legally.
Speaker 5: They're the only place you can legally.
Speaker 2: Jump out of a plane under the age of eighteen
Speaker 2: is in Colorado in America.
Speaker 5: But in New Zealand anything goes like they just they
Speaker 5: let you do it.
Speaker 2: And so he was like, well, if we're not going
Speaker 2: to go to Colorado, I'm going to jump out of
Speaker 2: a plane while we're in New Zealand. And I mean
Speaker 2: Alex and I had to like we kept being like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's funny, that's funny. And then we were like do
Speaker 2: we allow him to jump out of a plane? And
Speaker 2: we were like no. We decided that was our big
Speaker 2: parenting move this yeah, okay, like you know what, let's.
Speaker 5: Not allow our because Alex put it best.
Speaker 2: She's like, he if he jumps out of a plane
Speaker 2: at the age of ten, right, what's next, what's next?
Speaker 2: He's done it all? And so we were like, let's
Speaker 2: give him something to look forward. Really, we'll say that
Speaker 2: he can't jump out of a.
Speaker 5: Plane till he's eighteen. You know, it's like getting the tattoo.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, wait, till you're eighteen. So we were
Speaker 2: like great, and then he was like, well then can
Speaker 2: I bungee jump? And Alex went with him. I was like, no,
Speaker 2: I'm not doing this. I'm I'm scared of heights.
Speaker 1: Now, guys like a kid jumping that I know of.
Speaker 1: They attached you from your ankles. This looked like he
Speaker 1: was in a harness right.
Speaker 5: Everywhere it's a swing. It was it's like a big pen.
Speaker 5: It was a big yeah.
Speaker 2: It's like they drop and then you swing out in
Speaker 2: a canyon. I mean I didn't get to go like
Speaker 2: they went because they got picked up on a bus
Speaker 2: and like went, So I didn't.
Speaker 5: All I got to video there. Couldn't you be there?
Speaker 5: But yeah it was. He loved it. And now he's
Speaker 5: like I can do anything. He's literally saying like I
Speaker 5: can do anything.
Speaker 2: I can go on any roller coaster. He wants to
Speaker 2: go six Flags. Now I'm like, yeah, you can do it,
Speaker 2: you can. Yeah, it was amazing. We were in a
Speaker 2: camera van. We was it your van I've been dying note?
Speaker 5: Was it the same one? Slightly different van?
Speaker 2: And the van completely fell apart on us, Like everything
Speaker 2: inside the van broke. Yeah, like all the tours like
Speaker 2: popped out, like they was all. We walked in and
Speaker 2: we were so we were into it because I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is so much better than our van, like the
Speaker 2: paneling and the countertops. We were like all excited and
Speaker 2: then everything fell apart on it. So yeah, piece of crap.
Speaker 2: But we we camped. We did end up standing in
Speaker 2: a hotel a couple of times for Indy. Yes, he
Speaker 2: all he wants his hotel. So we were finally like okay,
Speaker 2: and but like New Year's Eve, we ended up in
Speaker 2: a We could not find a campsite.
Speaker 5: We had no plan and so we ended.
Speaker 2: Up in a a in a holiday park.
Speaker 5: That was just madness.
Speaker 3: Like it's a holiday park.
Speaker 5: Uh you know, like a trailer park. Oh okay, okay,
Speaker 5: but you know for for holiday.
Speaker 2: Uh So holiday parks are like where you end up
Speaker 2: if you know you're just paying for.
Speaker 5: A parking spot.
Speaker 2: Basically, like we were just paying for a parking spot
Speaker 2: among a bunch of other trailers.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: And it was New Year's Eve and lots of hunters,
Speaker 5: lots of drunk New Zealanders.
Speaker 2: Indy were like found some kids and He's like they
Speaker 2: started a cult. There was like all these kids that
Speaker 2: were like they literally started a fight club. He's like
Speaker 2: they started like Pinny. It was like, no snitches the story.
Speaker 2: I'll bring Indian and let him tell his New Year's
Speaker 2: Eve experience. Uh we. I was like in the van,
Speaker 2: I'm like I'm just going to bed early. Alex tried
Speaker 2: to do karaoke with some New Zealand drunk moms.
Speaker 3: It was karaoke.
Speaker 5: She loves karaoke.
Speaker 3: Yoke.
Speaker 2: Anyway, that was New Year's Eve in New Zealand was
Speaker 2: pretty pretty interesting. Uh for Indy, I went to bed early,
Speaker 2: Like I said, it was easy for me.
Speaker 5: And then yeah, lots of adventure. We went caving.
Speaker 2: I did via Ferrato, which is like iron climbing, Like, uh.
Speaker 1: That's what you were doing where you have like metal
Speaker 1: claws in your hands and gotcha pretend to be.
Speaker 5: Climbing with ladders.
Speaker 2: Basically, like they put metal, they put iron so you
Speaker 2: never have to deal with ropes.
Speaker 5: It's a great way to a climb. It was like
Speaker 5: the easiest thing in the world.
Speaker 2: Uh yeahs uh yeah. In caves in New Zealand, there
Speaker 2: are glow worms there. They have phosphorescent poop. Basically, it's incredible.
Speaker 5: You're in these giant caverns and you just see like
Speaker 5: what looks like stars above you.
Speaker 8: And you didn't go to Hobbitan though, did you?
Speaker 5: No? Where's is that in North Island or the Sound?
Speaker 5: I don't know it's I mean, it's in the shop.
Speaker 5: I'm not a Lord of the Rings fan, I just
Speaker 5: I'm not.
Speaker 4: I'm not a huge Lord of the Rings either, but
Speaker 4: it's so fantasy like it's like the place you know
Speaker 4: you gotta Yeah, New.
Speaker 2: Zealand, you guys have to go it really is like
Speaker 2: California compressed and then there's like a tropical element, so
Speaker 2: it's like you end up, you know, we are on
Speaker 2: glaciers and then at the beach with palm trees.
Speaker 4: Like it's so crazy within like the weather like like
Speaker 4: if you're at the beach, is it can you go
Speaker 4: into the water?
Speaker 5: I mean, is it like beach temperature? And then you're
Speaker 5: on ice? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh my yeah, like the water was warm enough like
Speaker 2: go in, you know. But it it does rain like
Speaker 2: it's ever. It's not like California, you know. You definitely
Speaker 2: get like weather changes within ten minutes, like it'll be
Speaker 2: completely rainy and stormy one second and then.
Speaker 5: Sunny the next. So it's more erratic, you know, but
Speaker 5: so much fun. Man, And no indigenous snakes or spiders either,
Speaker 5: Is that true. That's apparently true. There's no indigenous snakes.
Speaker 4: Or spiders in the entire island, which is pretty sick
Speaker 4: because Australia just wants you dead.
Speaker 5: They have they have spiders that carry guns. Like it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to go to Australia before I saw
Speaker 1: any of the tiktoks about the wildlife in Australia.
Speaker 5: Fine, it was a nineteen hour flight to get to Bakersfield, is.
Speaker 7: How I know.
Speaker 9: So it was like, Okay, how are your guys holidays?
Speaker 5: How was how was I was being home?
Speaker 3: Oh? Well, will should we?
Speaker 1: Should we talk about our WWE Raw on Netflix experience?
Speaker 5: I can't write what is this?
Speaker 3: Oh my god?
Speaker 5: To a wrestling match, dude in scene? It was phenomenal.
Speaker 5: You have loved it.
Speaker 1: Next time, writer. Our number one thing that we talked
Speaker 1: about when we were leaving. Our number one thing is
Speaker 1: how much you and Indy would have loved it.
Speaker 5: Loved it.
Speaker 1: So next time there was an event, I really I'm
Speaker 1: going to insist on you guys coming.
Speaker 5: Oh I'm going, I'm going out.
Speaker 1: So when you guys, I meant because I know you're
Speaker 1: in and I can't wait to I can't wait to
Speaker 1: explain it to everybody. So everyone here knows. Let's just
Speaker 1: reset a little bit. Everybody here knows. Most of you
Speaker 1: who listened to the show know that I am a
Speaker 1: wrestling fan.
Speaker 3: It goes a lot of years back.
Speaker 1: I've been I used to go to WWE, back when
Speaker 1: it was WWF, to see Raw, to see WrestleMania. There
Speaker 1: have been you sat many years in that time where
Speaker 1: I fell out of it and then wasn't paying any attention,
Speaker 1: but it always got me back. I've been I've been
Speaker 1: a back and forth fan for decades and then Jensen
Speaker 1: and I started dating. Jensen used to work for the WWE.
Speaker 1: He started taking me to PWG shows in Resita in
Speaker 1: the San Fernando Valley, which is like MEANWG. It's it's
Speaker 1: little wrestling organizations. Pro Wrestling Gorilla is what PWG stands for.
Speaker 1: And they had a like a little setup in Resita
Speaker 1: and you could go and watch local wrestlers wrestle and
Speaker 1: it's incredible.
Speaker 3: It's incredible.
Speaker 1: But the greatest thing about wrestling that I think now
Speaker 1: more people are starting to catch on to is the
Speaker 1: community and the showmanship.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, and pageantry.
Speaker 3: The pageantry, it's all so amazing.
Speaker 1: So WWE recently did a deal with Netflix and now
Speaker 1: you can watch the WWE on Netflix, and they premiered
Speaker 1: with Raw, one of their every single Monday night they
Speaker 1: do Monday Night Raw, And they premiered on the fifth
Speaker 1: and I asked Will if he had any interest in going.
Speaker 1: I asked Will and Susan if they had any interest
Speaker 1: in joining Jensen and I, and Will was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll go. And I was so excited because as writer,
Speaker 1: as you know Will is, usually it's hard to get
Speaker 1: Will out of his house.
Speaker 5: Yeh.
Speaker 3: And I was excited that, you know, writer was out
Speaker 3: of town.
Speaker 1: We had asked writer as well, the writer couldn't go,
Speaker 1: and Will was like, yeah, I'll go. And then I thought,
Speaker 1: what are the ausies actually going to go?
Speaker 5: I wonder if he's going.
Speaker 3: To back out or bail out when we get close.
Speaker 5: Thought about it, it didn't.
Speaker 1: So Will, why don't we talk about it from your POV.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what we talked about on the drive over.
Speaker 1: You had no idea what to expect.
Speaker 5: What were you expecting? I don't know. I mean, I
Speaker 5: truly don't know.
Speaker 4: So you know, obviously we Bloymet's world has some connection
Speaker 4: with with wrestling.
Speaker 5: We had Vader on and you know he threw me
Speaker 5: around a ring for a while.
Speaker 4: Mankind, Mick Foley Mankind. We're still good friends with Mick.
Speaker 4: So you know, I have I.
Speaker 5: Had some idea.
Speaker 4: Oh no, this way, I thought I had some idea
Speaker 4: of what the world kind of was going to be. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so we're you know, I hey, Danielle's like, come, you know,
Speaker 4: come pick us up, and uh, you know, we're gonna
Speaker 4: go and it's gonna be great, and it's gonna be
Speaker 4: on Netflix's gonna be this big thing. We're gonna have
Speaker 4: a ton of fun. Wait till you see it. It's
Speaker 4: it's at the New Into It Center.
Speaker 3: How did I describe it to you?
Speaker 1: I told you was like, if you go into it thinking,
Speaker 1: imagine it being a world.
Speaker 5: Yes, well you essentially said.
Speaker 4: The way that Danielle hooked me was she was like,
Speaker 4: it's like it is fantasy. It's it is dungeons and dragons,
Speaker 4: it's it's live action role playing. It's all this kind
Speaker 4: you know, look at it like that. And so when
Speaker 4: I put that into my head, I was like, okay,
Speaker 4: you know that'll be Plus I knew I already knew
Speaker 4: about the athleticism and how incredible justice.
Speaker 5: But so are you watching like five fights? Like yeah,
Speaker 5: it's like, didn't want a show, Like I don't know
Speaker 5: what any of this is, Like what idiots? You gotta
Speaker 5: set the stage.
Speaker 4: So first of all, so we get there and we
Speaker 4: you know, the the w w E and or Netflix
Speaker 4: or both are treating us very very well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, our friend Zach. We have to give a shout out.
Speaker 5: To Zach, who uh you know.
Speaker 4: So we get to park where the players for for
Speaker 4: like the Clippers players parked and so for.
Speaker 5: Oh just wait to hear how how how that plays out?
Speaker 5: By the way, so Penga brought you, dude, No, I
Speaker 5: was not even part of the entourage. By the end.
Speaker 5: Just wait, it just gets so good. So they bring us.
Speaker 4: You know, there's this beautiful room behind the Lexus room
Speaker 4: behind that's all just this buffet laid out, a full bar,
Speaker 4: tons of people.
Speaker 5: In there, food, anything you can kind of want.
Speaker 4: Him there, Susan and I are there, Jensen and Danielle
Speaker 4: and bringing you. Being with Jensen and Danielle at this
Speaker 4: is like being at a German wedding with somebody who
Speaker 4: speaks German. Which I use that analogy because that happened
Speaker 4: to me. So I was sitting next to the people
Speaker 4: that actually knew the language of everything that was happening.
Speaker 4: So we're sitting there, We're getting our food, and they're like, okay, well.
Speaker 5: Let's go in. The fights are about to start.
Speaker 4: So we walk in packed eighteen thousand fans.
Speaker 1: Sold out into a dome eighteen thousand people.
Speaker 4: Everyone in cosplay, so everyone with belts and signs.
Speaker 3: Every age, every color, every.
Speaker 5: Gender, everything is represented.
Speaker 4: Is the most beautiful hodgepodge of people you've ever seen
Speaker 4: in your life. And when I mean packed rider, there
Speaker 4: was not a seat in this place from the time
Speaker 4: this event started to four hours later when it ended,
Speaker 4: no one got up and left.
Speaker 5: Yep, insane?
Speaker 4: Would they walk us? Essentially ringside? So we're two rows
Speaker 4: from the actual but I don't know what it is.
Speaker 4: There's this huge soul.
Speaker 3: It's just a there's a big screen coloring.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a tarp all around from the ceiling surrounding something
Speaker 1: in the middle.
Speaker 3: And it's not a big graphic on it.
Speaker 5: That's a yeah, the ring is not open. We don't
Speaker 5: see the ring. Yes, oh dude.
Speaker 1: So just so you don't even know which way you're
Speaker 1: facing or what's gonna happen or whatever. It just says
Speaker 1: wwe on Netflix, raw on Netflix.
Speaker 4: And so these these these banners that take that cover
Speaker 4: the entire ring, four square banners from that have to
Speaker 4: be one hundred and fifty feet tall because they're going
Speaker 4: all the way to the top to the bottom.
Speaker 5: And then music just like it goes wow, and then
Speaker 5: all this.
Speaker 4: Music starts pumping, and the people all have these red
Speaker 4: like laser pointer things, and so the whole thing opens up,
Speaker 4: and then this video starts on the side of these
Speaker 4: giant things.
Speaker 3: The history of the WW and you're latching.
Speaker 5: The history of the WW.
Speaker 4: So Sue and I are like, wow, this is actually
Speaker 4: kind of cool. And then there's an explosion.
Speaker 1: Literally massive hiring technics, and all four.
Speaker 5: Of the curtains fall.
Speaker 8: Up the biggest jump and they thought strultaneously and there's
Speaker 8: the ring right lit up in the center and then flashing, yeah,
Speaker 8: just fireworks go off of the all inside, and we're
Speaker 8: like soon I look at each other like, oh my god,
Speaker 8: I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 5: And this is already the best thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: In Hunter, who used to be known as Triple H
Speaker 1: when he was a wrestler. He's now in charge of
Speaker 1: the WWE. Hunter is standing in the middle of the
Speaker 1: ring and he's a massive man and he's in a suit,
Speaker 1: and everyone's just going yeah and shouting Triple H or
Speaker 1: Hunter and he he gets on the mic and he
Speaker 1: starts talking about how excited they are to have everyone
Speaker 1: here and for the wwe to have done this historic
Speaker 1: you know, collaboration with Netflix and uh.
Speaker 4: And then oh, well see this is where this is
Speaker 4: where sitting next to Jensen and Danielle is the best
Speaker 4: thing ever. A single note of music played Dung and
Speaker 4: both Jensen and daniel tourna me go the rock, the Rock.
Speaker 4: Like the second of music music Q starts. They're both like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, it's the Rock. So in walks right
Speaker 4: by us the rock.
Speaker 1: Oh and we forgot to say we're facing the direction
Speaker 1: Hunter and the Rock are facing. So the two cameras
Speaker 1: on camera side, so they're facing us. We're just looking
Speaker 1: directly in their faces were four rows back and it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: And so I am a massive rock fan. I have been.
Speaker 1: He's one of the people that really sucked me into
Speaker 1: wrestling many years ago. He's the only reason I can
Speaker 1: raise an eyebrow. I just want you to know, because
Speaker 1: I couldn't raise an eybraw, couldn't do it for my
Speaker 1: whole I couldn't.
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I could only raise both eyebrows like I couldn't.
Speaker 5: Do Still for the record, he stole that, so I
Speaker 5: was doing that first.
Speaker 3: So I anway I was doing a movie.
Speaker 1: I was doing a movie called Rockets Red Glare, a
Speaker 1: TV movie in I don't remember Santa Maria, and I
Speaker 1: was I had gone to a wrestling match recently, and
Speaker 1: I was like on the rock and the eyebrow, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't raise an eyebrow. I can't
Speaker 1: raise an eyebrow. And the makeup artist said, well, you
Speaker 1: just need to train yourself to you just need to learn.
Speaker 1: I was like, well, how do you do that? And
Speaker 1: she's like, just stare at your eyebrows in the mirror
Speaker 1: and tell yourself, you know, like, raise is your left eyebrow,
Speaker 1: Raise your left eye round.
Speaker 5: I was like, all.
Speaker 1: Right, So every single day on the course of this movie,
Speaker 1: while she was doing my makeup, I would just try
Speaker 1: to raise it anyway. I can do it now and
Speaker 1: I love it. And it's because of the rock. I
Speaker 1: learned how to raise an eyebrow because I wanted to
Speaker 1: be like.
Speaker 5: It's actually because of the makeup artist how to do it.
Speaker 1: But the only reason I cared to raise an eyebrow
Speaker 1: was because of the rock. I didn't care about raising
Speaker 1: an eyebrow for any other reason, but I can because
Speaker 1: I cared about the but it.
Speaker 5: Was, I mean, it was, but it's truly amazing.
Speaker 4: He gives a speech, she's talking about the history of
Speaker 4: them forming together, how big a night this is going
Speaker 4: to be, And then the first match starts and again,
Speaker 4: oh yeah, one one note of music, and both daniel
Speaker 4: and Writer are Danielle and Jensen turn to me and
Speaker 4: it like, here's who's coming.
Speaker 1: John Cena came out. John Cena came out before before
Speaker 1: the first match came out. John Cena came out and
Speaker 1: declared that he was going to compete at the Royal.
Speaker 5: He's coming back.
Speaker 3: He's coming back.
Speaker 5: I didn't know what that meant. Now I'm so excited myself,
Speaker 5: so excited.
Speaker 1: But the first match was Roman Reigns versus Solo and
Speaker 1: there's a whole history.
Speaker 4: But here's the thing that's going to suck Writer into it.
Speaker 4: So there's a story story to everything. And it was
Speaker 4: it was they all, you know, they're part of this tribe,
Speaker 4: and then I'm getting into what the tribe. Who's going
Speaker 4: to be the chieftain of the tribe, Who's going to
Speaker 4: be the tribal chieftain?
Speaker 5: They were friends and and Jensen's like leaning over to you.
Speaker 4: The whole time going like all right, so they were
Speaker 4: they're all cousins and there was this big fallout between
Speaker 4: and it's all you're like, it's like a fantasy novel.
Speaker 4: You're learning the backstory of the magical system and all
Speaker 4: this kind of and then the chance.
Speaker 3: Solo suck.
Speaker 4: Everybody everyone what to do and when did what to say?
Speaker 4: It is a perfect microworld. It's one of my favorite
Speaker 4: things where it's got its own culture, its own language,
Speaker 4: its own dress code.
Speaker 5: It's i mean, its own etiquette, everything.
Speaker 3: And amazing in between all of this.
Speaker 1: In between all of this, they're like after so, you know,
Speaker 1: you get a first match and you see the match
Speaker 1: and what's happening, and people are popping up and there's surprises.
Speaker 1: There's people under the ring who pop up and surprise you.
Speaker 1: And there's chance from the audience of who's voting. You know,
Speaker 1: who's rooting for who, who's rooting for someone else. And
Speaker 1: then in between these matches, they're going to different celebrities
Speaker 1: that are there.
Speaker 3: It is jam.
Speaker 1: Packed, slammed with celebrities, just people that have been fans
Speaker 1: for a long time, newer fans, people that have relationships
Speaker 1: with Netflix.
Speaker 3: You know, McCaulay Culkin is.
Speaker 1: There, Kieran Coulcan is there, who the night before won
Speaker 1: a Golden Globe.
Speaker 4: Seth Green is there, Ashton Kutcher. I mean, it's just
Speaker 4: it's one.
Speaker 3: Fluffy was there, Tiffany Hattish is there.
Speaker 1: There's also all the WWE wrestlers from years back and
Speaker 1: modern like current time, so they may not be wrestling tonight,
Speaker 1: but they're still there and they're cutting to them.
Speaker 3: Michael cha is there. It's just it's awesome. Vanessa Hudgens,
Speaker 3: who's a big wrestling fan, everybody there. Uh.
Speaker 1: So they come up to us at a certain point
Speaker 1: in the show and they're like, hey, we're doing pops
Speaker 1: of different celebrities that are here, and we're putting them
Speaker 1: on the JumboTron and it's going to TV. Are you
Speaker 1: okay if we we put you on? And I go, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: no problem. Come on, Will, let's let's let's go down.
Speaker 5: I don't want to.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I no, no, I don't I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't like come on.
Speaker 3: You now realize they know Will and I are there.
Speaker 1: When we said we wanted to go, it was like,
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, we said it was going
Speaker 1: to be like a podcast thing. Unfortunately writers out of town,
Speaker 1: but pod meets World would love to be at this event.
Speaker 1: So in my mind it's when they're asking, it's of
Speaker 1: course that they're asking if Will and I want to be.
Speaker 3: Just to do this thing.
Speaker 5: It's it's so pang and guess Will's.
Speaker 1: Like, no, no, no, I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Will, you have to do it. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be very weird if it's just me. They're they're expecting
Speaker 1: that it's like a podcast. Then you have to come
Speaker 1: up with me. Jensen goes, yeah, go go go go
Speaker 1: be with Danielle, and Will's like okay.
Speaker 3: So they move us from.
Speaker 1: The fourth row to the second row because it's easier
Speaker 1: for the cameras to get to us there. So they
Speaker 1: move us to the second row and it's Will and
Speaker 1: I sitting there. There's six and a half million people
Speaker 1: watching at least worldwide Netflix for this event. They go
Speaker 1: to Seth Green, they go to Macaulay Culkin, they go
Speaker 1: to Oshae Jackson Junior, and they were coming to you,
Speaker 1: We're coming to you and I'm like okay, and Will goes,
Speaker 1: what are we going to do when it comes to
Speaker 1: us and I'm like, I'm gonna do the Sena. You
Speaker 1: can't see me because I was wearing a vintage John
Speaker 1: Sena shirt and I'm like, I'm gonna do this, you know,
Speaker 1: John Cena, you can't see me, you can't see And
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, all right, I'll do that too, and.
Speaker 3: It work work to you. They go to us and
Speaker 3: we get you know.
Speaker 1: Whoo, and Will and I are just like hamming it
Speaker 1: up for the camera, like.
Speaker 3: Oh, John Cena, you can't see us. We're looking at
Speaker 3: each other.
Speaker 1: Will's like, oh, pointing at me and we're laughing and whatever.
Speaker 1: And then that's it. There's the end of our bit.
Speaker 1: And then we get to move back to our seats
Speaker 1: to sit with our spouses. And then by the time
Speaker 1: we leave, I am getting inundated with text messages. Will
Speaker 1: is getting inundated with text messages. One of my favorite
Speaker 1: text messages I received was from the one and only
Speaker 1: McK foley, who said.
Speaker 3: Danielle, you looked so great. It was so good to
Speaker 3: see you there.
Speaker 1: Don't tell Will, but they didn't mention his name.
Speaker 3: They didn't his.
Speaker 5: Name Danielle Fisher on the screen.
Speaker 1: And then nothing and nothing, and he said, se I
Speaker 1: and Mick Foley says, and I was yelling at my screen,
Speaker 1: put some respect don will Fordell's name. And I'm checking
Speaker 1: all of that and then I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm getting I'm getting all these notifications.
Speaker 3: I go to x which formerly known as Twitter, and
Speaker 3: we are trending.
Speaker 1: We are to Panga is trending and then it says
Speaker 1: underneath it with will Fredell and I click on it
Speaker 1: and it is all of our dear listeners and dear
Speaker 1: fans of Boy Meets World saying what that trying to
Speaker 1: give to disrespect will Fredell? Like that People magazine mentioned it.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it was it blew off.
Speaker 1: It was maybe one of the top ten stories from
Speaker 1: the entire event was that will Fredell was not mentioned.
Speaker 1: And when I tell you that, people then were asking, wait,
Speaker 1: is it part of the bid because they talk about
Speaker 1: this on their podcast.
Speaker 5: Now I never get met, get recognized next to Danielle.
Speaker 3: This wasn't a bit. It It was I guess what
Speaker 3: you would call an oranic bit.
Speaker 5: It's my life.
Speaker 4: It's what it is not getting recognized as kind of
Speaker 4: my thing, to the point where I we we go
Speaker 4: on the screen. My first text ten seconds later is
Speaker 4: from a friend of mine in London.

Speaker 3: We now share with all of you. So the fact
Speaker 3: that this.
Speaker 1: Real part of our lives, that when we go places
Speaker 1: I get recognized and Will does not. That's a thing
Speaker 1: that really happens, and we've been able to share it
Speaker 1: with you, and then to watch it play out live organically,
Speaker 1: maybe in the biggest live event certainly of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: It had just started, just truly.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, and it was a night that I will remember
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life.
Speaker 5: Me too.
Speaker 1: Uh, Seeing Will and Susan get into it and actually
Speaker 1: enjoy it and say to me, when's the next one?

Speaker 5: That's what I want. Damn it.
Speaker 4: No, but we've got didn't you say there's another, like
Speaker 4: big big one.
Speaker 1: WRESMA, And I'm hesitant to say it because I looked
Speaker 1: at the dates and WrestleMania is actually the weekend of Easter,
Speaker 1: which I know doesn't seem like a big deal.
Speaker 3: But we we.
Speaker 1: Do have a family get together on Easter just because
Speaker 1: it's a nice excuse to get our.
Speaker 3: Families together, and we host it.
Speaker 1: And so my only thing is how am I going
Speaker 1: to explain to my family that I need to be
Speaker 1: in Vegas without my children on a family holiday that
Speaker 1: I normally host.
Speaker 3: But anyway, we just tried.
Speaker 5: You just explain it right there. Just do that. I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm you know, do it the week before I know
Speaker 5: Easter a week early.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Easter is late this year and sometimes it's in
Speaker 1: March and that's early. And now it's on it's on

Speaker 4: Really yes, because on the third day he wrestled again.
Speaker 3: Wrestling has risen, Yes, Oh, I swear to God it
Speaker 3: and it's in Vegas.
Speaker 5: It's but it's also also true.
Speaker 4: That for the pageantry, all that stuff the microworld, but
Speaker 4: the athleticism, the thing that these men, that these men
Speaker 4: and women are doing, throwing themselves around there, slamming.
Speaker 5: It's so they're throwing each other into the crowd. I
Speaker 5: mean it is.
Speaker 4: You cannot help but just get into everything happening in
Speaker 4: front of you. It was a phenomenal night. Sue and
Speaker 4: I were talking about it for days after, well, mostly
Speaker 4: because nobody knew who I was and that kind of
Speaker 4: blew up.
Speaker 1: But other than that, he was a favorite will did
Speaker 1: you walk out of there with a favorite wrestler?
Speaker 4: No? You know, No, I don't know them enough. And
