13
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: and I just discovered that you're the world's biggest nerd.

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: So I want to get to that at the end

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: of this episode because I'm like the world middle size

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: nerd and uh, we have to we have to bond

17
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: on that. But I want to get into this right

18
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: away because the way I met you is hysterical and

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: I was terrified, and I hope you'll remember this and

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: I want to hear your side. So I was working

21
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: for the company and I was a month in and

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: Michael Hayes and Christopher to Joseph had a segment where

23
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: a new match was gonna be described in the promo

24
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: and the Big Show was gonna do it. And the

25
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: segment gets approved and I'm in the little writer's room

26
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the door swings open and

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: you come in, and all I hear is who the

28
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: fuck wrote me war in Peace? Literally my face like

29
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: filled full of blood. I was so embarrassed, and I

30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: wrote my hand up. I was like, yeah, that was

31
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: that was me. And you were like, what the fund

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: just this? And I was like, Yo, it's my bad.

33
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna work on this. We're gonna cut whatever you want.

34
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: I'll show you how memorized stuff. But we're gonna We're

35
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna get through this. And so you now, now you

36
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: can you just is that an accurate description of the

37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: beginning of this That's exactly what happened, Because now I

38
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: understand at the time Freddie I talked in w to

39
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: be once in a while. Um, for whatever reason, I guess,

40
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: Vince didn't like the way I did Promosh didn't like

41
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: the fact that a giant talk. Whatever the reason was,

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: I didn't talk that much. I didn't have promo segments

43
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: every row. That wasn't my my gig. So when I

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: got this promo, I was like, are you are you

45
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: ef a kidding me? Like I haven't done a promo

46
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: in like four months, and now I've got four fucking

47
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: pages to try to memorize, and I've got you know,

48
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: I've got segments of a wrestling I've got to do,

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: like who the funk wrote this? And why? Like is

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: this just bound to light me on fire? And it

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: was funny because when we when I found out you

52
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: wrote it, it it was kind of cool because it was

53
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: like when Freddie wrote it. So I need to get

54
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: a better attitude because pretty so I'm gonna come in

55
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: day one and try to cut my head off because

56
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: there I was always worried about a bunch of silly ship.

57
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: So uh, when we put it together, I did it.

58
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: I just remember franking the tank out of it like crazy,

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, I remember us. I don't remember doing it.

60
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't remember other things than it couldn't have been

61
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: better how it turned out. We did a great job

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: with it, and I don't think I remember one thing.

63
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: Five minutes after I said, Paul, we worked on this

64
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: for We didn't have much time. It was about twenty

65
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: five minutes, and you had me kind of trimmed the

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: fat off of all three descriptions. And I remember specifically saying, listen,

67
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: I I can demonstrate this part. We don't need to

68
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: say this whole bit right here. I was like, yeah,

69
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: you're right right, And you know, I was writing it

70
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: like it was an episode of Law and Order some crap,

71
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: and I was trying to get everything I could with

72
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: physical stuff. I can demonstrate. Let me, let me try

73
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: to remember the woods do. We get backstage and I'm

74
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: sitting next to Vince and the three locals come and

75
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I do not remember your gentleman's name. There's

76
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: a long time ago, and I remember you coming backstage

77
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: and you kind of breaking it down to these gentlemen,

78
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: and you were so good. You're like, don't worry, I'm

79
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna protect you. I'm gonna look out for you this

80
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: and that, and you're really putting him at ease. And

81
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: the segment starts, and dude, you were first of all,

82
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: you were word for word like it was creepy. You

83
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: like you said, Frank the take when he is just

84
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: kills Carville and that in that debate, like I'm sitting

85
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: there watching it and Vince is looking and nodding and

86
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: so freebirds like excited and shaking right, and I hear

87
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: Kevin putting it over in the truck, and I'm sitting

88
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: there like, all right, all right. And the first guy

89
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: comes out and you submit him, you put him in

90
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: what was it like a sleeper hole kind of like,

91
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: and he goes out, and I was like, oh, yeah,

92
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: that's great, that's great. And then the next one was

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: like a table match and the local come is out

94
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: and you picked this man up and you smashed him

95
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: through the table. And I remember saying on the mic

96
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: oh ship and it looked like he died like it looked,

97
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: And I was new to the business, okay, so I

98
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, oh my god. In my head,

99
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, he said he was gonna protect this man,

100
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: and and the man is he's dead, and they they're

101
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: dragging the guy backstage, and I get up when he

102
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: comes back into Gorilla. Right up to that, I was like,

103
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, man, are you are you all right?

104
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Are you okay? And he's like, yeah, I'm good, I'm fine, man,

105
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, you're good, and he's like, hey,

106
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm good, and I turned around and NX is just

107
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: laughing at me, right, like I'm just a complete rookie moron.

108
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: And then the last guy you hit with this massive right,

109
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: and this was the bit we cut. You said in

110
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: the last match is a knockout match, boh man. You

111
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: just smashed this dude and he gets the kale and

112
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: you came backstage. I love that you said Frank the

113
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: tank and you literally really you reminded me of me,

114
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: unlike my first movie after a take when I said like,

115
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: did I do a good job? And you came back

116
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: and it was such an honest question. You were just like, hey,

117
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: did I do a good job? And Vince gave us

118
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: the nod and like a grunt, and I was just like, yeah,

119
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 1: bro that you were like off book. That was sick

120
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: and it blew me away and it it was the

121
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: first like time I got to write for like a

122
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: talent at your level, right, So, and I grew up

123
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: watching you and I was talking about this with friends

124
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: one time. I was saying, you know, Paul's the unicorn

125
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: of professional wrestling, and we throw that word around a lot,

126
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: like with Port zingis playing for in basketball. I was like, no,

127
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: he's just a tall dude. To can shoot unicorn is

128
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: a special thing. It's rare. You came into business a giant,

129
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: and you could have had that your whole career. But

130
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: on top of that, you could move like a dude

131
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty pounds smaller than you. And then and

132
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: this is your horn, right, people learned that you could

133
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: act your ass off and could be a top dude

134
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: on the mic too. So you've been able to evolve

135
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: as wrestling has evolved in a much more effective way

136
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: than most people. I mean you, I'm sure you don't

137
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: want to blow smoke up your own ass, and I'm

138
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: not trying to, but it's it's a unique situation where

139
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: you've gotten to see, teach, learn, and experience with multiple

140
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: generations of wrestlers now at a very high level. And

141
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: I you know that's a one hand I can count

142
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: on the amount of people that have done that. I

143
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: just wonder if you have any thoughts on from the

144
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: first time you came in you won the damn World Championship.

145
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: How does that not go to your head? And how

146
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: do you how are you here talking to me right now? Uh,

147
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't go to your head because it's not um

148
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: and I mean it's in the kindest way possible. I

149
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: never went to my head because it's not real. You know,

150
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: it's entertainment. I'm playing a character, and I all I

151
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: ever wanted to do was to whatever character I was

152
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: in play the best that I could. I mean, I

153
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: remember when I started as a giant, I was talking

154
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: like this and Hope and and the Dungeon of dool

155
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: And I had this really because I thought, well, that's

156
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: what a big, masty guy would talk like, you know.

157
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: And then I spend enough time around Randy Savage, God

158
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: blessing Randy Savage had such a unique way of talking.

159
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: But that was Randy all the time. Like that wasn't

160
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: Randy's character voice, like Randy Tortey did all the doing,

161
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: you know. So, um, you wanted to try to do something.

162
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: As the business progressed, we got out of some of

163
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: the gimmicky characters that were in the nineties and in

164
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: the attitude there come around and and things got a

165
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: little bit more uh legit or in and so to speak,

166
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: with Stone Coast, Steve Austin being the anti hero and

167
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: flipping the bird and drinking beers and you've gotta limpic

168
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: gold medals like Kurt angle out there wrestling, So things

169
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: had to evolve a little bit. I mean, even the

170
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: Undertaker's character, who takers one of my favorites of all time,

171
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: how he was able to evolve and state current tease

172
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: it a little bit with the American Badass so he

173
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: can incorporate some m m A fighting And then when

174
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: he went back to old school Taker, he still carried

175
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: the m m A fighting that he introduced. Is the

176
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: American Badass. He brought that all together. It's really brilliant

177
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: to to see some of these guys that have had

178
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: that impact for so long. And I think I've definitely

179
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: been one of the luckiest guys walking to the way

180
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: I came into the business, who I got to work with,

181
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: who I got to learn from, um just and and

182
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: now it's I'm in a completely different company now, the

183
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: e W that's got a completely different style than w

184
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: W style. I mean, you know, w V is a

185
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: it's very much production and everything they put into it

186
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: has so much excellence written all over, from the packages

187
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: and the videos and the way they present each talent

188
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: and the way the talent looks and um and how

189
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: the talent performs. Then you come to a e W

190
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 1: and it's there's not fifteen or twenty writers backstage the

191
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: writer promo for you and a e W. If you've

192
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: got a promo, guess what? You got a promo? You know,

193
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: So you try to take all the all the lessons

194
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: that that you've learned, and it's just like you know,

195
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: we had we were forced at sam Punk came back

196
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: and I watched that first interview that Sampunk addressed that

197
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: crowd in Chicago, and I just man, that's his composure

198
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: and his time. And when you think about the guys

199
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: that cut great promos, that had those long, great promos,

200
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: their composure and their time, and they're telling your story

201
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: just like a like a grandpa by the fire who's

202
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: telling you the story and your visualizing everything. The story

203
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: keeps you along as the beginning in middle and an end,

204
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: like you know some of the promo stuff that we

205
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: went through learn and promo class has got to have

206
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: a big finish and the beginning in the middle and

207
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: an end and get somewhere with it. I remember taking

208
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: Vince's promo class, and I think the only promo that

209
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: I ever did for Vince that he ever actually liked

210
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: was the promo and promo class. I don't know if

211
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: you were there for that one, but I basically talked

212
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: about going to something why you shouldn't let me come

213
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: to your house? I was not well, it was you know, basically,

214
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: the premise was why if I'm your enemy, why you

215
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: shouldn't invite me to your house? And I basically said,

216
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna go to your master bathroom and I'm

217
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: gonna go blow your bathroom up and I'm gonna clog

218
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: the toilet. I mean, it was some just you know,

219
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: because Vince loves that ship humor, you know. But it

220
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: was a good story of how I'm gonna get close

221
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: to you, how I'm gonna be your friend, and when

222
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: you're not looking, I'm gonna go in your bathroom and

223
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, in the main bathroom and I'm gonna just

224
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: destroy it. So, um, that was the only problem I

225
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: think I've ever done it he liked. So I think

226
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: my biggest promise I got a little bit into um

227
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: in the cadence, which is a big thing because Stone

228
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: Cold changed everybody doing promos because now a few pausit

229
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: a promo. Now they'll go what they'll kill you. They'll

230
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: kill you. It happened to me when I first got

231
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: there and I literally was talking about moment to moment work,

232
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: and like a month in the promo class, I was like,

233
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: everything I said about moment to moment work, throw all

234
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: that away unless're auditioning for a movie. We gotta burn

235
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: through this or they're gonna kill you dead. And it

236
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: was it was. I literally sat there, I was like,

237
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, the closest I've been to that is theater.

238
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: The crowd in the theater isn't gonna be like hey,

239
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: what like they're not. They're there for their performance. The

240
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: crowd and wrestling has been a part of wrestling since

241
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: the first comeback in a wrestling match ever happened. So

242
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 1: they have that power and one stone cold hit it

243
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: once it like unlocked this door and now you guys

244
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: have to go bananas. I want to talk about promo

245
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: class because you brought this up and you may not

246
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: know this, but you were personally responsible for sort of

247
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: opening up the amount of people and the level of

248
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: talent that was coming into the promo class. So before

249
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: you all, I had a little acting class that we

250
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: did they just called the promo class. But yes, um,

251
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: they fear changed, so the name didn't change, just what

00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: we were doing change. They do so named exactly. So

00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: a sudden and we would do, you know, monologues from movies,

260
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: scenes from movies they liked. And then you come in

261
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: and you say, hey, man, I'm gonna do the watch

275
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: I watch you cut this promo which I will call

276
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,119
Speaker 1: a monologue, but it was a promo for for wrestling,

277
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: and you did it in this like tender, like very

278
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: paternal So it was like, you know, I had this

279
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: watch in my ass for two years and you were

280
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: allowed to take these pauses because it's not in front

281
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: of a live crowd, and we didn't record any of these.

282
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: And I remember when you finished, it was the first

283
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: time like everyone kind of lost their ship and they

284
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: were all cheering, and then Dylan was like I didn't

285
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: even get a fucking line or something like that. M

286
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: dude can Before I talked about the aftermath of that,

287
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: were you even nervous going into that? Were you confident

288
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: because it was young bucks and they looked up to

289
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: you like what was do you remember even Yeah, I

290
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: remember seeing an opportunity. My thing was as I always

291
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: want to do home in TV, you know with w B.

292
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: But I worked so much. There were so many things

293
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: that I just I couldn't do. I mean, I worked,

294
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: ran SmackDown. I worked, you know, usually work from Fridays

295
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: to Tuesdays. I was home Wednesdays and Thursdays, you know,

296
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: like it was just you know, flew about Thursday nights

297
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: for show Fridays. I mean that was just the way

298
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: it worked if TV was alive. So I didn't get

299
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: a lot of the opportunities. Um, I made a choice

300
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: when I was a wrestler. I was a wrestler. I

301
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: gave a hundred dead percent to w W. But in

302
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: the back of my mind, I always knew that I

303
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: want to do other things. I want to do comedy.

304
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to do something with some guts. I call

305
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: it guts, like you know, like that speech that watch

306
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: speak to me, to me that that monologue was a

307
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: great monol because I had a lot of guts. This

308
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: guy that had the spots for his best friend to

309
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: give it to us son went through one a hell

310
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: asis environment that would change you forever. But also the

311
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: only thing he worried about was making sure that Sun

312
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: got that watch, you know. So that's what I call

313
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: something with guts that monologue and trying to convince people

314
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: at seven ft five pounds at the time. But no, no,

315
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 1: I can I can do this. I can do this,

316
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: you know. And it's it's hard to to to get

317
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: people to see that, like because they see you a

318
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: certain way. You're you're you're the Russian you know, bodyguard,

319
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: You're the you know, you're you're the bad guy, You're this,

320
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: you're that. Um No, you're not a sensitive guy with feelings.

321
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: You're not a funny TV dad, you know. And I

322
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: got the chance to do that, that big show show

323
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: and have the family comedy. I mean, dude, I was learning.

324
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: I was learning on the fly. But talking about our

325
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: our acting class, I saw an opportunity You're coming in

326
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: because you were like a real cat that had done

327
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: real stuff in Hollywood, you know. So my thing was

328
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: you always try to to find somebody that you can

329
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: learn something from. Somebody's had more experience as something to you.

330
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: You want to listen to them. Some people are full

331
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: of ship. You know that, but you figured that out later.

332
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: But it's still an inn site that you can learn,

333
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: whether you agree whether or not. Um and to learn

334
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: female everything, it's like gesturing. I still tell you from

335
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: that class. The biggest thing. Oh yeah, it's over there,

336
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: like indicating that. That was one of my bad habits

337
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: that the actor called me out on and taught me about,

338
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, yo, I do that all the time. Yeah,

339
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: but it's funny that the indicating thing taking that out

340
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: so you don't have to you know, she's over there. Yeah,

341
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: you can relax on your eyes and the way and

342
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: the motivation behind the line instead of having to physically

343
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: gesture to what you're trying to convey. You know, have

344
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: to physically, especially as big as I am, because like

345
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm on a big screen, I'm on

346
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: a uh sixty or seventy ft screen. However big the

347
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: screens are in the movie theater. So if I move

348
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: my giant hand across the screen, like the entire audience

349
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: is probably kind of point. So I know, the movements

350
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: and gestures are a lot smaller, and it makes sense

351
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: a great example of that, and this is a little

352
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: side quest. When they made Rogue one, they had to

353
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 1: read cast Darth Vader obviously, and as we all know,

354
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: Darth Vader only moves with purpose, right. If he moves,

355
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: you're usually dying or his his lightsabers getting drawn or

356
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: he's leaving the room. And I don't know if I

357
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: can tell this story, but I'm gonna tell it. The

358
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: actor they originally hired um was Italian. And they showed

359
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: the movie to some of the execs and they were

360
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: watching it and this person who's a friend of mine said, yo,

361
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: what Darth Vader doesn't talk with his hands, And it

362
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: was basically every line was like this, and he's like,

363
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: he's not Italian. You clearly cast an Italian, but he's not.

364
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: And so they had to reshoot all that because Vader

365
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: moves when Vader needs to move, he never has been

366
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: wasted waste of movement. And that's part of the stuff

367
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: that made Vader creepy, because he was like a Jason

368
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: borghese type of movement, the same type of deal. Like,

369
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: he didn't bury much, so you you took in his

370
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: presence and is that just that evilness that came off

371
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: of him? Which you know, I, like me, were always

372
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: a Darth Vader fan anyway, So you know, I was

373
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: always a Dark Vader fans Star Wars, I was thought

374
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: Luke as a pump so okay, so I always like

375
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: the bad guys even as a kid. Now, we didn't

376
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: have a lot of money growing up, and Vince was slick.

377
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: The bad guys always won on TV, and you had

378
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: to pay on the pay per view to see your

379
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: good guy go over. I never watched pay per views

380
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: because my mom wasn't gonna spread money on that, So

381
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: I always was rooting for the dude, the one right

382
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: like I wanted. I didn't want al Pacino to get

383
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: Robert de Niro and heat. I wanted Robert de Niro

384
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: to get away. So I love the bad guys. But

385
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: we're nerding out, and this is a good transition into

386
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: a passion that both you and I have, and I

387
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: think we both recently rediscovered a few years in recent years,

388
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: and that is table top role play gaming or Dungeons

389
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: and Dragons. You're actively in a game, and I just

390
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: want to freak everyone out. Please tell everyone what class

391
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: and race your character is. My My character is a

392
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: character to the Mike Merles created for me for a stream.

393
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: It's from the Dark Sun universe. I'm a half Stone Giant,

394
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: so it's uh um. I'm playing Eldred's Night, which has

395
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: got a little bit of magic and a whole lot

396
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: of a whole lot of fump. So I'm kind of

397
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: a good with the way my character is built up.

398
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: Now I can take a pretty good bit of parlishment.

399
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: But I got some pretty big dps uh for for

400
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: doing my mom and stuff. I've gotta I've gotta plus

401
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: two mall and at the level on that now I've

402
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: got you know, three D six plus seven per hits

403
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: and I've got three chances to swing. If I'm not

404
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: take my action surge, which will give me six sets,

405
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: which if I have I'm hasted, which give me seven.

406
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: So right off the bat, if I'm hasted and acts

407
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: and serge, I can do seven attacks with the three

408
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: D six plus seven mall, so I can usually get

409
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: some of his attention pretty quick, pretty hard. And now

410
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: at I'm at level fifteen. So my elders Knight now

411
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: has a kind of like a shade step. I just

412
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: got it, so I haven't used it in gameplay yet

413
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: and you do some research on it, but I can

414
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: basically teleport anywhere I think within like thirty ft, which

415
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: is going to be ridiculous for Jack and Duto. So

416
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: that's that's my character. Um, it's an Eldritch Night that

417
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: was a pretty sick promo as far as D and

418
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: D goes, I used to play in a D and

419
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: D Monster wrestling league and it was it was a

420
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: professional wrestling and only monsters were allowed, and I literally

421
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: modeled my character after you. His name was Horace. He

422
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: was an Albart and he was a total beast and

423
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: he was an indie champion and they put it on

424
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: stream and the match I was in, I won their championship,

425
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: and so honest the Albart and I basically did like

426
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: an old school like big show voice, but if you

427
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: were British, so everything he said sounded like this, and

428
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: it was like my deepest, my deepest giant voice that

429
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: I could do. But he literally was inspired, and because

430
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, it got shut down. So technically I'm

431
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: the reigning champion of D and D. You and I

432
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pitch you a game off air. I'll just

433
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: message you. I created it in partnership with Fantasy Flight,

434
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: who does like all the Star Wars stuff with their

435
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: die system, and it's uh, it's a t TRPG where

436
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: I run multiple groups and it's basically cyberpunk street racing

437
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: league where it's different street race crews but with all

438
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: cybernetics and technology and hacks and things like this, and

439
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: you guys are basically if you ever saw that show

Speaker 1: Street out Laws, it's like that, but in like New

441
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: Detroit basically, or Sant Angeles Street out Laws meets um

00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: what was that kind? I read for that movie too. Yeah,

Speaker 1: a great what are they called hunters or something like that.

446
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: I actually read for that movie because it was a

447
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: really big character. And then they ended up going c

448
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: G I with everything, which, oh, you would be that giant,

449
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: beastly c g I rob liifeld. Look. I read for

450
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: that one. But then once they went to c G

451
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: I with it, it just looked better. You know, you

452
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: kind of gotta give it, you know, Yeah, that looked

453
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: pretty cool they did. They did smooth c g I

454
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: in that. My kids watched the Matthew Rogerick Godzilla and

455
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: they hated the c G I because I was like,

456
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: you guys, give it a break. Its old, and they're like, no,

457
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: it sucks, turn it off. Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean,

458
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: you dude, have you seen like one of my favorite

459
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: movies throwing up was Firefox Clint Eastwood. You know, I'd

00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, I forgot about that part. The

468
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: old it's tough to hold up, man, it's tough like

469
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: the old, the old movies that would come on, like

470
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: the Um with Kirk Douglas where he was fighting the

471
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: cyclops and all that. I didn't get hip to him

472
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: until I was in my thirties and twin like looking

473
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: back to appreciate, like, you know, history of films old

Speaker 1: Argonauts Jason and the Argonauts, which now Seth Green basically

476
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: does with Robot Chicken. Yeah, you should be voicing someone

477
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: Robot Chicken. Have you done his show? I haven't done

478
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: it yet. I was willing to do it. Yeah, you

479
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: do know. I just did uh voiceovers for Fast and

480
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: Furious Spy Racers. I played a character in that called

481
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: Palin Drome. Voice overs so much more fun. You don't

482
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: have to go through makeup, nobody's fooling costume anything. But

483
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: it's it's high energy though, like when I did the

484
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: flint Stones and me, man, it's it's it's high and

485
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm not flint Stone. I did um um the Jetsons.

486
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: It's high energy, like that whole thing. I did the

487
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: entire Jetson's movie and one day and by the by

488
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: the end of it, I was doing some sound effects

489
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: for some stuff and my voice, my voice finally cracked,

490
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: like after eight hours of yelling, it finally snapped. Sarah

491
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: did the Kevin Smith Knew he Man one. She's She's

492
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: Sheira or Tela, She's Tela and they busted out at

493
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: the end of the day, like she couldn't talk, her

494
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: voice was shattered. That's pretty impressive for me because I've

495
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: got a really good, strong, deep voice, and you know,

496
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: and the producer, you know, during the Jetsons, She's like, yeah,

497
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: high energy the whole time, and I'm like, I'm pretty

498
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm pushing it, you know, and about eight hours it took.

499
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: And then finally I was doing the grunts some sound effects.

500
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: I was about to ask, these are the funniest, but

501
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: by the end of it, my voice was like, and

502
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: that was the end of it. It'll be like, this

503
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: is a small jump, this is a medium jump. Now

504
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: I need a big jump. And you're just like, is

505
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: there a difference? Okay, breathing heavy, you're running breathing heavy,

506
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: white breathing heavy, breathing, you know, breathing well on one leg. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

507
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: that's that's the most taxing part of any v O session.

508
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: Well listen, man, I'm gonna let you go. You've used

509
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,240

512
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: So I'm good, man, I'm good, just living the dream,

Speaker 1: near the competitiveness that the other guys in aw have.

520
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,560
