1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:01,280
Speaker 1: M hm.

2
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: H.

3
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: I have a wanted man on my show today. It

4
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: is the one and only Nick Nemeath. Nick, you were

5
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: very hard to get, but once I had my claws

6
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: in you, I wasn't giving up and I succeed it

7
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: and you're finally here. So thank you for coming on.

8
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. I appreciate you digging your claws in.

9
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: It's nice some guys like that, so I tend to

10
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: try and if it works, I stick with it, you

11
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

12
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: If any broke, of course, you don't fix it.

13
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: I I was thrilled to finally meet you. I'd been

14
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: talking about you no seriously, and I hate putting you

15
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: over because I've gotten to know you a little bit

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: in dealing with you with our text messages. But we've

17
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: we met Russell Con weekend for the first time because

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're not an indie guy and.

19
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: You haven't been around.

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: You are now and we'll talk about that in a minute.

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: But I met you at the ECW Arena, the twenty

22
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: three hundred arena it's called, and I was thrilled to

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: meet you because one of the questions I always get,

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: and this was back when you were still in WWE.

25
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: If you can pick one WWE superstar to work with,

26
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: who would it be? And I always picked you because

27
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: for me, you you kind of remind me of Shane

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Douglas in a way. And it's not just the good

29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: blonde hair either, sure like you're the way you worked,

30
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: your promos, skills, like everything reminded me of a young

31
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: Shane Douglas. And I always said he doesn't need me

32
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: as a manager because you can get over on your own.

33
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: But I think it would have been fun to work

34
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: with you as a Heell team.

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would have been an absolute blast, of course.

36
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: And first and foremost one, I'm a fan of your

37
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: just like you. Until we met, I was a big

38
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 2: fan of yours. Thank you. You know they say don't

39
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: meet your heroes, you know, or or Franccene, thank you. No,

40
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: a huge fan. I grew up watching ECW. I'll be

41
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: really quick about this. We didn't have cable for the

42
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: longest time, so I had like a black and white

43
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: UHF TV and Friday nights it was an hour of VCW,

44
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: and Saturday nights it was two hours of ECW, but

45
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: it was just the same show twice.

46
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: But I didn't care. I watch it anyway, and that's

47
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: you know.

48
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: I've had a deep affection for ECW and that was

49
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: my first love.

50
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: Of watching wrestling every week.

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: So and I was a big fan of yours, and

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: even after meeting, I still am. Since you're recording this,

53
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: thank so I would have loved to have you as

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: a manager. We can still make it happen down the line.

55
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: Who know which would be even better? If you like

56
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: that Britney spearsgy Azalea videos like just two gals on

57
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: the town, two girls.

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: Hanging out on the I love that. Well, if any

59
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: promoters are listening, were available as a duo, So get

60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: in touch with either of us and we'll make it happen.

61
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: So I was going over your history a little bit.

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: I don't really trust wiki.

63
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 3: Too much because you shouldn't.

64
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't because I realized now that.

65
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: FATA don't trust nobody.

66
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: No, but I never knew that fans could update the page.

67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: That's how that works, I believe. So that's what I

68
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: was told.

69
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: Hear.

70
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: So I'm like reading stuff and I'm like, well, I

71
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: don't know what's real and what's not real. And you

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: have done a ton of interviews since you walked away

73
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: from WWE. I don't want this interview view to be

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: redundant in any way, like the same kind of questions.

75
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about WWE just a little

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: bit because there's a couple of things that I was

77
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: curious about. You started in two thousand and four through

78
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: OVW and ended up there for about nineteen years. Is

79
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: that correct.

80
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: That's my resume two thousand and four, WWE till present.

81
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Yes, it's very impressive. Not many people could last that long.

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: I lasted six months in that company, So you know,

83
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm the.

84
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: Worst, Like that's it. Well, you know, at the time,

85
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: it's it's all. It's the craziest stuff. It's all getting

86
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: not getting injured at the wrong time, knowing somebody or

87
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: not knowing somebody. There was a chance I was going

88
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: to be in the heart Throbs. Do you remember that

89
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: tag team? Yes, okay, so, and they were great wrestling

90
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: dudes who I liked, and they're jacked and they had

91
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: a couple of months run.

92
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: Their debut was like losing and I go, I go.

93
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: That was almost me.

94
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: So it's a weird and I was like mad that

95
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: I was in a cheerleading group. But then somehow it's

96
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: the craziest amount of things. It has nothing to do

97
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: with like being better than someone. Sometimes it does, but

98
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 2: it's just like the timing and weirdness of it. Nineteen

99
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: years is like we were told Lancestorm was the teacher

100
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: in OBW when I started, and he goes, mathematically, if

101
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: the average is two point seven years of television time,

102
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: and it goes from some people having a couple months

103
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: and an undertaker having seventy five years, and it's like,

104
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: somewhere in the middle is like two and a half years,

105
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: So make your money and get ready for the independent scene.

106
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: And I go, okay, if I can just get three

107
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: years here, I can make a living doing this for

108
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: the rest of my life.

109
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: It'd be great. And somehow it just kept adapting in staying.

110
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: But in a sense, that's a great way to look

111
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: at it, because your expectations are kind of low. LA's

112
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: exceeded them.

113
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, yeah, that's not in some ways, yes,

114
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: but also in your head, you know, you want to

115
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 2: be the world champion for twenty years and never lose

116
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: and have the company on your back, and but it's

117
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: also like, yeah, you could plan it that way. Or

118
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: you could be gone in a couple of months, no

119
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 2: matter how awesome you are. There's so many people that

120
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: I go, Wow, not only is this guy gonna take

121
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: my job, I would applaud him for it and go,

122
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: this is the guy to go with. And then six

123
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: months later they're gone or injured, and it just you

124
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: never know how.

125
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: It's gonna work.

126
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a crazy thing that you never know which

127
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: way to go with it. I was very fortunate injury wise.

128
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 2: I think so many different times I was never hurt,

129
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: so I feel like that always came to help.

130
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: So one of the questions I had was, what is

131
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the worst injury you've ever suffered, because, like you said,

132
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: you seem to be very consistent in your role.

133
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: Seemed to me, I missed like three weeks of work

134
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: in nineteen and a half years.

135
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: That's stitch.

136
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: That seemed to be real quick.

137
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: That's very amazing because like a lot of the guys

138
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: that I used to work with were injured constantly, and

139
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: we're working with a cast or with a splint or

140
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, or we would have to go to the

141
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: merch table and we couldn't work, you know, for that

142
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: loop or something. You're you're not getting hurt. How does

143
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: one do that? Because how are you so safe in

144
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: the ring.

145
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: It's, first of all, it's not me. I'm not fighting myself.

146
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: I mean, be a hell of a match.

147
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: I'd be impressed, but it would be, but it was

148
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: it's I don't know.

149
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: I can't explain it. I I I never let it happen.

150
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: In a couple of times, I have a couple concussions,

151
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: which is which totally happens.

152
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: And also I was at you know.

153
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: Four o five, it was still not wild West Attitude era,

154
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: but it was.

155
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: I was just telling the story to my brother the

156
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: other day. I pulled my groin in a match. It

157
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: was at the time where every year after WrestleMania, I was.

158
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: Nervous that I was getting fired. So's a couple of

159
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: years in and you just you go, I pulled my groin. Wow,

160
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: this one really hurts.

161
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: What should I do?

162
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: And they're like, well, do you want us to tell Vince?

163
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: Do you are you okay with losing your spot? And

164
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: You're like no, no, no, I'll work through it. Or

165
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: so it's like it's not attitude, like like I need this,

166
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: you know, you know, there's no salary coming in there's

167
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: no you lose your spot if you get hurt. So

168
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: I eventually making up for it, pulled two groins because

169
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: I was making up for the other one. And at

170
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: that point I'm getting wrapped around my waist and both groins.

171
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: Before each match, I was getting injections into my thighs

172
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: and I would put and it was usually myself and

173
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: a kofe and I had the US title, the Intercontinental title,

174
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: and I would put a bag of ice inside the

175
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: title in between my trucks where for like the fifteen

176
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: minutes going out there that I'd like pull up the

177
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: title like this and the bag of ice would fall out. Okay, match,

178
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: and I was like kind of fun funny. It was

179
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: also like, hey, are you cool with losing your spot?

180
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: And at the time You're like, oh my god, I

181
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 2: can't lose my spot. I'm five eleven, one hundred and

182
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: ninety pounds. I'm not a legacy. I don't have anyone

183
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: rooting for me in the meetings. No, I cannot lose

184
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: that spot. I'll fight through it. So so there is

185
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: that aspect of like I did get injuries all the time,

186
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: like we all do, but somehow never got that very

187
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: serious one where you leave. But also that affected me

188
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: a little bit negatively because if you have Triple Ah

189
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: tearing a squad and then he comes back nine months

190
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: later and the place erupts because we missed this guy

191
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 2: that we know. I never got to have that moment

192
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: once or twice, or some guys get fifteen times.

193
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: I got it zero times. So I feel like that

194
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: also hurt a little bit. So it's like a positive

195
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: and a negative there, I guess.

196
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well here here's my theory. When you now again,

197
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know you when you work there. I'm getting

198
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: to know you now watching you as a fan and

199
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: seeing the way you perform and the people you perform with,

200
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: and you know who you're putting over a week after week.

201
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: You're there for nineteen years. But as I'm watching you,

202
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying to myself, they're not using him correctly. There's

203
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: so much more because I see a star compared to

204
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: other people.

205
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 3: I'm not going to name others.

206
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm not, you know, I see star and the way

207
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: that sometimes yeah, they put it beout on you here

208
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: and there, but the way that they used you, in

209
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: my opinion, I feel like there was so much more

210
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: they always could have done, but you lasted nineteen years.

211
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: Do you feel like there was some heat that you

212
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: didn't know about that they had your their thumb on you.

213
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: There might have been somebody politicking against you, like did

214
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: you were you aware of anything going Yeah, yeah, of course.

215
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 3: And it's a couple days that I said earlier.

216
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: One it's like, either nobody's rooting for you in the

217
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: meeting because you're not six or five or three hundred pounds,

218
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: or you're not Vince or on his favorite guy, so

219
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: no one's.

220
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: Gonna be like, oh yeah, yeah, that's a good idea

221
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: of Boss. I like him too. There's not one of

222
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: those things.

223
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: And then there's also the other extreme to where Pat

224
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: Patterson was a big fan of mine and he was more.

225
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,479
Speaker 3: Of a consultant.

226
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: So some months he's there every TV, sometimes he's talking

227
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: to events all the time, and then some months he's

228
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 2: just gone for a few because you know, he was

229
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: a little bit older and he's enjoying his life. He's

230
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 2: on vacation stuff, but also he come help out. So

231
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 2: sometimes there's nobody there, and if nobody's got your back,

232
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: it's kind of tricky. Already, I'm not a legacy you know,

233
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 2: I don't have any inside information or like nobody's looking

234
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: out for you.

235
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: But also I got to a point where the.

236
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: Top of the top other than Vince, pulled me aside

237
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: and said, Pat pushes for you so much because he

238
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: says such great things and see such great things in

239
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: you that we're now actively ribbing him by having you

240
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: lose every week, and that's terrible.

241
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 3: That's a funny.

242
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 2: And he laughed when he said, I go, that's funny,

243
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: but like that's my career. That's already you know, I

244
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: lose eighty percent of the time, now losing ninety five

245
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: percent of the time, Like, come on, like, that's not

246
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: And they thought it was like a cool thing to

247
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: tell me. So again, this is anecdotal, secondhand information. It's

248
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 2: not something I witnessed personally. But people in the meetings

249
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 2: would tell you like, oh yeah, anytime this thing was

250
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 2: set up, these two guys would go like, no, we

251
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: don't like it, and they go, okay, out of the

252
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: next guy, and it just I mean, it's it's showbiz.

253
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: That's how it works. But it's yeah, that's of course

254
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: part of the deal.

255
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: And there's a million amazing, amazing moments that I got

256
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: to be a part of or that were based around me,

257
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: that the memories will never ever go away, and.

258
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: The fans have them too.

259
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: It's just that I think that there's that extra part

260
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: of there's no follow up because there's no one in

261
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: a meeting going okay, now we're going with this guy, right,

262
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: They're like, nah, we're good and so the next day,

263
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: so it's weird to complain and you're like, hey, you

264
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: won like twenty titles and you were the world champion.

265
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: It's like, yes, that's fantastic, and I cherished that. But

266
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: also the next day every time I won those house

267
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: I lost ninety two times in a row, including the

268
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: day out the week I became World heavyweight champion, I

269
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: lost the next match like so, and that's again it's showbiz.

270
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: That's part of the deal. But also it just goes

271
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: okay if the company's not behind him, Eventually the fans

272
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: will not because they understand like, oh, what's the point

273
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: of this. But they stuck around a lot longer than

274
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: they should have, I think because of the work ethic

275
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: and everything that was put forward.

276
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: Ran Yeah, when you say longer than they should have,

277
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that statement.

278
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: At all.

279
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you have a huge fan beast. They admire

280
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: your work and your work ethics, so their fans period,

281
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: they're not just gonna give up on you because you lose,

282
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: because right, but you know you losing. You know what.

283
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: You get to a point where it was, you know,

284
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: I studied the metrics behind the scenes and the ratings

285
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: all that stuff and different things, and you go, it's

286
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: one thing when people my age go, oh, dog's gonna

287
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: put out a good match and he's gonna lose.

288
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 3: And then it got to a point where ten year

289
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: old kids are going, we know you're losing. And you

290
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: get to a point wards six and eight year old

291
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: kids like, oh, I can't wait to see you. Like

292
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 3: so you get to.

293
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 2: A point where the fans are still hanging around longer

294
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: than they should, but the office is telling them, don't

295
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: waste your time. You're gonna see a cool thing and

296
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: for a split second you're gonna forget that you know

297
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: this guy's losing. And that was my goal every time,

298
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: is to get one or two split second where it

299
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: goes oh, because that's what I was up against and

300
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: I thought I did that pretty damn well.

301
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 3: But every once in a while it's just there's nothing, nothing, nothing,

302
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 3: and then somebody's.

303
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: Hurt and they go, you're fighting Shamous in the world

304
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: title match, and ninety nine percent of an entire crowd

305
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: is cheering for the bad guy as loud as they

306
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: possibly hit for the higher.

307
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 3: Match, and I go, damn it, hell yeah, we can.

308
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: Still get him because you're that guy that the office

309
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: counts on to make everyone look good because they can't

310
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: have a bad match. But I mean, that's going to

311
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: get the.

312
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: Push, right, and so that's you know, you pick one

313
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: or the other. Or I even tried it. Someone high

314
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 2: up was like, stop taking this finish so well, stop

315
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: being bumping, and I go.

316
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: I tried it once.

317
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: I tried it in a live event to like not

318
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: give everything, and the timing was off and it was weird,

319
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: and I felt, I go now for a split seg.

320
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: I maybe I can. No, I can't. I can only

321
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: do it as best as I can because I.

322
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: Have to sleep at night, even for an hour or two,

323
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: and so it's either like I know I'm not gonna

324
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: be the franchise guy, but every couple of months, I go,

325
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: I can get you know, if I can just get

326
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: them to think this way, I can get a couple

327
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: of months out of it and make the most of it.

328
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: So it's but it's also if you.

329
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: Can take that finish fantastic, you're gonna take it every week,

330
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: but also you're gonna take it every week for twenty

331
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: years and you're gonna build a legacy and get paid

332
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: and then on the weekends you can go do twenty

333
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: five minutes with cofee and tear it down and have

334
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: the best time in your life.

335
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: So they want you to take it, but take it

336
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: like not to the potential that you can.

337
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: Is that just a couple of people were trying. We're

338
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: trying to almost like look out for me and say

339
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: you take this too well. Like the first time I

340
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: took shamus Is finish, they go, holy shit, that was

341
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: Are you okay? And I go, it's it work for

342
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: the boss. It's my job to make it look like

343
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: I got And they're like, all right, yeah, so if

344
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: you're working the boss, and then the next time he's

345
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: like so it's like, oh cool, I'm doing something great,

346
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: and then it gets into the ooh, I don't know

347
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: who's winning the world title that night, but let's make

348
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: sure we get that shamous kick on golf because it's

349
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: gonna look so good, You're like, So then it got

350
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: to a point where I think there was a couple

351
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: of months on SmackDown where I was just fighting Shamus

352
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: for no reason because they wanted to see me take

353
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: his finish. And I get it, because there's some pretty

354
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: great gifts out there just whatever. I'm like, it looks

355
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: awesome because.

356
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: I had to do it great.

357
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: And then but then also after thirty matches, when you're

358
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: one in twenty nine, you're like, how do you make

359
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: this guy in the world chaff? How do you make

360
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: him credible? How do we follow him around in a

361
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: long term storyline? So it's good with bad? I don't know.

362
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: So do you feel like, like, I know you weren't

363
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: thrilled about the cheerleading gimmick, which I find I kind

364
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: of liked it, to be honest with you.

365
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: Well, that's fine to like it, but imagine you were.

366
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: Let me set it up a little bit better. They go, Hey,

367
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: we really like what you're doing. You're a clean cut

368
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: kid that we can google, and you broke records college

369
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: and you can't say, okay.

370
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 3: Appreciate that.

371
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 2: So you got the notes shut out and I was like, yeah,

372
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 2: I think Google, you go, we're really thinking about possibly

373
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: putting you as like like a young up and comer

374
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 2: with kurd Angle and like he's gonna be your hero

375
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 2: and he's and I'm like this, this is the greatest

376
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: thing I've ever heard of?

377
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

378
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: I gotta a tryout with WW because kurd Angle came

379
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: from amateur wrestling and was doing so well that they

380
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: gave a smaller guy like me a chance in a tryout.

381
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: I go, this is a dream come true. It's like

382
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 3: the movie.

383
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: It's like the Karate Kid movie where it's like uh,

384
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: sidekicks or something.

385
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: It was like Chuck Norris and the other kid are fighting.

386
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: Like he's with this hero. I go, this is the best.

387
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: And then I get a call to go to TV

388
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: and they're like you're gonna be a cheerleader with four

389
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: other guys and it's about one guy and you guys

390
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 2: are just gonna pump and feed and look like little sissies.

391
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: And then when we're done, who knows? And you go,

392
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 2: I'm heartbroken. This sucks. What can I do? And then

393
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 2: a couple of days goes by and you go, here,

394
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do this the

395
00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: best as.

396
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 3: I damn well can.

397
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: And if this run is three months, like I've seen

398
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 2: a couple of people coming go it's a couple of months,

399
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: and they're gone, I go, if that's it, I'm gonna

400
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 2: give it everything I can.

401
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 3: And I go, I don't.

402
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: I won't be afraid to like embrace it because some

403
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: people don't get this one chance, I'm gonna take it.

404
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: And so you're still heartbroken and it sucks.

405
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: But then six months later, you're working with ten of

406
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: the greatest of all time every weekend and you're learning

407
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 2: the most, and those live event matches with Shawn Michaels,

408
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 2: Triple Ah, Rick Flair, Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes, like it's crazy,

409
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: Like it's crazy, like all this stuff happened in a

410
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: joking sense mostly, but I got to absorb everything, and

411
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: I got to a point where I'm like, Hey, Sean,

412
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: are you cool with me calling this match in a

413
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 2: live event when I'm out there? And He's like, uh yeah,

414
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: I can't try whatever that I was like, I called

415
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: one thing to Shawn Michaels, I'm like, is this really happening.

416
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: I'm a year and a half into wrestling. I don't

417
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: know what I'm doing.

418
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: Out of five guys, I was the fourth worst one

419
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: because I was eight months into training, Like I just

420
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 2: didn't know anything. I could like put a hold on

421
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: and break someone's back and take a pump. But theer's

422
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: one less experience was Mitch. She was like the fifth one,

423
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 2: but he was brand new and he was you know,

424
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: he was hired more on personality than wrestling, So it

425
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 2: was like I was like the worst one.

426
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: But I was trying to catch up.

427
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 2: So I was wrestling matches in the afternoon just to

428
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: try and catch up reps and get better with everybody,

429
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 2: and Mikey would train me on the weekends just to

430
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 2: get a bunch of reps in. I just wanted to

431
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 2: make sure that I go in this. I thought every

432
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: week that the cheerleading thing was just like we're just

433
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: gonna get murdered and it was gonna be over. So

434
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: you go, if I get to hang around, I want

435
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: to be really good at wrestling. So I was just

436
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: doing matches NonStop and got to hang around even though

437
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: they put us, box us up and send us back TO'BW.

438
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: So Kenny was Kenny the supposed to be the breakout

439
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: star of the group.

440
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and it ended up being you well years later, Yeah,

441
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: yeah it was.

442
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: It was more built for Kenny, and it's really fun

443
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: and Kenny's freaking awesome. And even though we were a

444
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: bunch of young guys, he was younger than all of

445
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: us by four or five years. He's like twenty years

446
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: old and looks the part, plays the part new back

447
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 2: backstage stuff. He was helping me out with stuff that

448
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: like an old timer would have to tell you for

449
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: behind the scenes stuff like how to like political stuff,

450
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 2: who to talk to it. And I was like it

451
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: was very helpful. He knew a lot at a young age,

452
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: and it was so one You're like, oh, you're a

453
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: cheerleader instead of you and tagging with Kernegle, I get

454
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 2: just so you know, you're the fourth worst one other group,

455
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 2: it's all about this.

456
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: One guy one who can't get paid.

457
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: Well, you guys bump around and you're like, man, this

458
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: is this is my dream job.

459
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 3: What the hell am I doing?

460
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: You know, it would tell somebody you're the fourth worst guy.

461
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: That's well that's what they didn't tell me that Okay,

462
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: the other three were good at wrestling, and I was

463
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: brand new and the other guy was the only one

464
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 2: who was newer than me.

465
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: Like, oh my goodness. The KFC match that you had,

466
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: was that a rib or? I mean, I know you

467
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: were promoting like that was promote. I mean you were

468
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: doing the commercials like I watched because I was watching

469
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: a couple of things that you did and not popped up,

470
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: And I said to myself, I wonder if you'd liked

471
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: this or not, because I mean, I guess it would

472
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: be fun to dress up.

473
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 2: And you know, it's a very serious business when it

474
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: comes to KFC and the Colonel just so you know, okay,

475
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: there was a special wig that I got fitted for

476
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 2: that got flown in with a person holding it like

477
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 2: it's a big deal. So whether whether some things at work,

478
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: which of course are ribs, to make funny. That was

479
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: a fun one where I got to beat the freaking colonel.

480
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: We got to do a real commercial with it. I

481
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: got to beat up my buddy Maz who was a

482
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: chicken in the video, right, And it was like a

483
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: bunch of money, so kind of a win win, like those.

484
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: Kind of ribs.

485
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: I'm okay, okay, but it was we had a really

486
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: cool partnership with KFC and they ended up doing I

487
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: mean maybe Rick Flair or Shawn Michaels or something.

488
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: But I go, I got to be the freaking curl.

489
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: It was a thing ever and and in that and

490
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: people had no idea what was happening because we just

491
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: filmed this match after a raw and we just like

492
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: come out and it's just like I'm the colonel and

493
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: miss like they're like, what the hell is happening? And

494
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: we just got to have fun with it in film

495
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: for a couple of days. So no, that was an

496
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: absolute blast. Good DFC people were so great to me,

497
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: and yeah, so uh, there's a million other things in

498
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: a ribs.

499
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: That's just like I'm saying, I'm not knocking it at all.

500
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: It's just one of That was one of the things

501
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: that popped up, and I was like, I wonder if

502
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: he considered this like a RIB or if it was

503
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: cool to you know, do something, because believe me, we

504
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: all did things that were either we cringe when we

505
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: look back, or you know, you do what the office

506
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: tells you to do.

507
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: I get it, of course, and it's a lot of

508
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: people forget, like say like I don't know aw now

509
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 2: or TNA now and me ten years ago. Like they're like,

510
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: here's the idea, come up with a cool promo, and

511
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: we kind of throw.

512
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: Some ideas back board with me.

513
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: A lot of times it's like Vince wants you to

514
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 2: say these three sentences and you look back and you're like,

515
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: I'm so embarrassed that I said those three sentences. It's like,

516
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 2: it's not like I was bad at a promo. It

517
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: was like I hate this cringey thing that I was

518
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: told to say, and there was no way around it.

519
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: You know.

520
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: A couple different times, you build up some equity and

521
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: you go, I'm gonna go out of my own and

522
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: then I got like a call from Jericho saying, hey,

523
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: that's the coolest promo we've ever done. I was like, well,

524
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 2: when I got back to Guerrill, they told me I'm

525
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: not talking.

526
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: For six months because they it wasn't what they told

527
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: me to say.

528
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like what okay, great, and so you like

529
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: you take the good with the bad, and you go,

530
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: I have to listen and do exactly what the boss wants.

531
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: When you try and sneak something in that you think

532
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: it's not to pop yourself. It's to like help a

533
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 2: story or make it that much better. And even if

534
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: it is, they'd be like, we want you guys to

535
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 2: start stepping on some toes and you're like, all right,

536
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 2: you go out there like.

537
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 3: This guy, this guy, this guy. Yeah, hell yeah, you

538
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 3: get to I go, well, not those toes, and like, well,

539
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 3: who's toes do you want me to step on?

540
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: Jtg's get the hell out of You're like, I'm going

541
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: after the top guy.

542
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: He's like, that's that's what stepping on toes is.

543
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: And you're like, you gotta remember who the boss is

544
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: and who his friends are and take that into account.

545
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: I guess I don't know.

546
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I always found like, because in the beginning, promos

547
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: were not my strong point. I used to get really nervous,

548
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: especially if I had to do it verbatim. Well, when

549
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: I would get bullet points, I found that my mind

550
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: would start to wander and I would add all these

551
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: cool things, and I was so much more relaxed if

552
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: they just gave me a couple ideas instead of like

553
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: a page with blah blah blah blah blah. Because I'm

554
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: not good with memory.

555
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a crazy memorizer either. But then even

556
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 2: if you do memorize an entire sheet of of of words,

557
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: you're just saying you're.

558
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 3: Not going you're not feeling that, you're not Oh this

559
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: one really part here, and it's like into your paracter

560
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 3: into whatever you actually in the moment, and it really

561
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: is how you're feeling, work.

562
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: Whatever.

563
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah you're like, Okay, I don't know, but uh well,

564
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: yeah that happens. That's part of the deal. And we

565
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 3: all are nervous as hell at first, especially.

566
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: The worst I used to shake. I would be I.

567
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: I was the worst. That's that's all I had to say.

568
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: Now I'm good, but back then I was terrible. Oh

569
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: my god, but I I loved your w W career

570
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: even though you were kind of a suppressed. Did a

571
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: hell of a job. But we're going to transition now

572
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: because you know, right now you're you're all over the

573
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: place sharing with T and A, m jp W literally

574
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: right triple A. You're on the Englands. Even though when

575
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: I told you about Wressell Kate you didn't even know

576
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: what it was. You're gonna learn. It takes a while. Listen,

577
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: I went right into E c W. I never did

578
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: in d either. I wasn't that. Yeah, I didn't know any.

579
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: Try to figure it out.

580
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we went bankrupts in seven years. So then

581
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: I had to learn really quick because I didn't know

582
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: who call and just who to talk to you, you know,

583
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: so I get it, but you're you're all over the place.

584
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: And the one thing when they released that twenty two

585
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: people were released that one day, and your name was

586
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: on that list. I was shocked because I was just like, Wow,

587
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: I thought this was gonna be a guy like you said,

588
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: like an undertaker or like the stone called Seed Boston,

589
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: just there for the duration of your career.

590
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: So I was kind of shocked. Yeah.

591
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 2: So and several years ago, Vince was like, you know,

592
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 2: when it's time to hang it up, I appreciate you

593
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 2: when you come in here, because I, uh, usually when

594
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 2: it was like a group of people or you know,

595
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: I had some so much seniority that I could just go, hey, boss,

596
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna switch this other thing.

597
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: You know, I had like a better chance of getting

598
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: something switched.

599
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: So I would always be sent to talk to him

600
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: about whatever we were doing that week or whatever, excuse me.

601
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: And then we got to a point where, uh, he

602
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 2: said yeah, you know, when the time is right, you'll transition.

603
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: You in a couple of years down the road, you know,

604
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: you'd be like a player coach, like a Pete Rose,

605
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: and you'll be behind the scenes and in the meetings

606
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: with us, and then still wrestling.

607
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: Then eventually transitioned just full time.

608
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: You're here forever. I went, oh, okay, that's the way

609
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: to go. And then a couple more years he was like,

610
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: you know, you'll be here and you'll do this. I go, so,

611
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: I just assume this is my life and eventually I'll

612
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: slowly go behind the scenes and help out, like this

613
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: is great. And then I got to a point where

614
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: I really told myself, I go, I only have a

615
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 2: certain window, no matter how I am with injuries, you

616
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 2: have a certain window to where you can still be

617
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: a top somewhat of a game changer at a different company,

618
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: at a different show, at an independent where you can

619
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 2: have this match, these matches that you wanted to have

620
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: for the last fifteen years that either Undertaker and Triple

621
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 2: H went nineteen minutes over at WrestleMania, so you have

622
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: thirty seconds for your tag match or like things like that,

623
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 2: to where you're like, well, now I get a chance

624
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: to do it where I'm calling the shots, or if

625
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: someone goes over by twenty minutes, I can still do

626
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: my match, or I still have this thing, or I

627
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 2: saw this guy in Japan ten years ago I wanted

628
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 2: to wrestle.

629
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 3: I never thought it could happen. Now it's going to.

630
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 2: Like can have a tonsh like I never thought no

631
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: world that would ever happen. But so I said, I

632
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: only have a few years where I have this window

633
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 2: to be healthy and where it matters extra to like

634
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: be in the ring with someone and have like a

635
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: special match or a special just like career after WWE.

636
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 2: So I said, I know I'm out of here unless

637
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: you guys got a bunch of money and they give

638
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: me a bunch of money. And I said, okay, when

639
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 2: I go half there's no way they're gonna let this

640
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: entire contract go through because they shouldn't.

641
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 3: I am sitting at home like this is stupid.

642
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: So halfway through a year in, I go, this is great.

643
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna start planning on getting out of here

644
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: and going somewhere else. So a year in, I'm checking out.

645
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: I'm watching Japanese wrestling. I'm watching TNA I'm watching aw

646
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: and watching everything, and I get to a point where

647
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: I go, hey, now, I'm not even coming in like

648
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: getting an entrance. I'm not even tagging with Bob Rude.

649
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: I'm not even like making something. It's not even fun

650
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: when someone pins me. I go, Vince, thanks for everything.

651
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: A twenty page email. This is the greatest job in

652
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: the world. And then I aired out some dirty laundry

653
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 2: about how it was bad and just in the last

654
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: couple of paragraphs, but the rest was very, very positive,

655
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: and I said, please, you have me in a position

656
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: of what a local can do, pay him and don't

657
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: pay me millions of dollars to do it. Let me go. Please,

658
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: let me go do this while I still can't. And

659
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: he responded and said, wow, give me a week to

660
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: think about this. I go, Vince, I go if fly

661
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: into Stanford tomorrow if you want me too. He goes, Okay,

662
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: just let me think about this and we'll figure something out.

663
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: I appreciate you laying this email. Great, And then two

664
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: weeks later I was on the release list.

665
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: So that's terrific though that it worked out the way

666
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: it did. Yeah, so they could have been bitter and

667
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: be like, no, we're not gonna let you.

668
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: Go, right, and it's and I was like, okay, but

669
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: I feel had they not been bought out, I would

670
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: have been stuck there. Okay, but they were like, let's

671
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: trim some pat millions of dollars sitting at home on

672
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: the bench. Yeah, good time.

673
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 3: And he just asked to leave for the fifth time. Okay,

674
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: We're gona let him know, right, okay.

675
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: So, uh, yeah, this is there's some stuff in the

676
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 2: past to where it was like handshake deal that uh,

677
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: the boss kind of backed out of.

678
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: So I get you job.

679
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 2: I was happy to get this one that was somewhat

680
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: of a handshake deal to let me out of a

681
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: contract a year early.

682
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 1: So that's that's tremendous that it worked out the way

683
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: it did. So again, going back to when I heard

684
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: the releases, the first thing I thought of was ou

685
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: he's going to a w and then so And the

686
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: only reason why I said that is because of the money, right,

687
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: not thinking that you're you're a rich man because you've

688
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: worked there for so long. Probably smart with your money,

689
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: that's okay, but at the you know, the age and

690
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: this stage in the game, you want to make as

691
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: much as you can, So my thought was like, he's

692
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: going to pick aw And then I started thinking about

693
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: all of your other things that you're doing, because you know,

694
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: we follow each other, so I see your socials and

695
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: I see what you're doing, and I was like, they

696
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: might kind of say, well, you can't do this, you

697
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: can't do that, so maybe he won't be going there.

698
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: So you end up choosing TNA, which I was in.

699
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: I was shocked at first, and then I was thrilled

700
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: because I was like, this is awesome. They have a

701
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: great product. This is going to get more eyes on them.

702
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: Good for him, right am I right with thinking like

703
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: you chose TNA just because of a little more freedom

704
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: than maybe.

705
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 3: The no no.

706
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 2: So it's it's not even that. I talked with Tony

707
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: a long time ago and he was like, hey, just see,

708
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 2: you know, you could do anything you want while.

709
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: You were okay, okay, you go.

710
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: You could have this twitch stream YouTube, this comedy shows

711
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: wrestle independence.

712
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 2: You get a lot of leeway here because I want, like,

713
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: in a very positive way, he wants everyone to have

714
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: a good time and be doing the best possible. I go,

715
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: that's awesome, And a lot of people did think I

716
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: was going to aw and I and I love a

717
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: bunch of people at AW I love aw Tony's freaking great.

718
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: I just was weighing my options and figuring out I

719
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: didn't have a plan. So Scott Demore the first day

720
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: that I was announced that I was out.

721
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: Of w B, was like, what can I do to

722
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 3: get you here?

723
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: I want you to see the blueprint of how we

724
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: do work things behind the scenes. We have long term booking,

725
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: here's the planning, here's what we're doing. And I was like,

726
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to sign with anybody. I want to

727
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: try out. I got this thing in my head, I

728
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: want to go make a name for myself on the

729
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: Independence for six months a year, just to see if

730
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: I can still go out, just to see if I

731
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: can go outside of this New York bubble because I've

732
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: only been here. I didn't do Independence, I didn't bounce around.

733
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: I was only here and I have a pretty good,

734
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: you know, backlog of accolades. I want to see if

735
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: I can hang or be better or the best everywhere

736
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: around the world. So I thank you so much, but

737
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: I just I just get out of a long term relationship.

738
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: I'm not really looking I'm not really looking to get engaged,

739
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,719
Speaker 2: you know, for a few years here, or even engaged

740
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: to be engaged. And he kept talking to me techtos.

741
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: How about come we can do some dates. I was like,

742
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: all right, let's do like eight or ten dates. We'll

743
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: try it out. But I can still do everything on

744
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: my ownies. Yes, okay, great. So that's how it started.

745
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: And I just really loved everyone. I loved I love

746
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: everybody there.

747
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: Gail's the best. There's so many and like, I won't

748
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 3: say it's better than every other.

749
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: Locker room, because every other locker room when you were there, Like, man,

750
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 2: everybody wants this to succeed.

751
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 3: This is fantastic. It's a team.

752
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: But it's even more so the edge for me personally

753
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: with TNAS because we don't have a billion dollars.

754
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 3: So no matter how much of a team you are,

755
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: what's happening. You're like, do we have catering today?

756
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: Oh?

757
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 3: Do we have security?

758
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: Like? Is there tape? Like that kind of stuff really

759
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: really gets it.

760
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: It's that it's no I'm getting flashbacks because we didn't

761
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: have anything right yeah, yeah, Like we didn't have many

762
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: of the artists. We did our own we did we

763
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: didn't have outlets nick in some of the buildings so

764
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: you couldn't do your hair no mirrors. I was in

765
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: a men's room with it in front of you know,

766
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: urine all.

767
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it was disgusting.

768
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: That's how ECW was, So I get it.

769
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: But there's something like beautiful about it, you know what

770
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: I mean. And I'm not even totally joking in a

771
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: way where it's it's like, you know, there isn't that

772
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: billion dollars or millions of dollars behind you, and you

773
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: go and already and all those rosters are so tight

774
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 2: and they are working to a goal as a team.

775
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 2: It's like extra special to me when you don't have that,

776
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: So now you're like, we are all a team, and

777
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: we're all doing I think, but we're all trying to

778
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: fight just to get a little bit like one percent

779
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: more respect in the business. So now it's that much

780
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: more of a special thing. So every roster like the business,

781
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 2: everyone works so much harder than other professional sports and

782
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 2: jobs that I love it and I will never ever

783
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: not say that that is the case. So I live

784
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 2: for that part amateur wrestling wise or pro wrestling like,

785
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: just it builds.

786
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 3: So much character and makes you go.

787
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 2: This is on me to make a change or make

788
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 2: something different about the business.

789
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 3: And if I don't, there's no one to blame. Now,

790
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 3: if you're in New York.

791
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: And you're told everywhere to say and everything to do,

792
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: it's a little out of your hands when you're when

793
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: you get a little leeway with t and a independence.

794
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 2: Aw now you either stand out or you can't, or

795
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 2: you can't go back. And like you know, I'm being

796
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 2: held back because I wasn't allowed to say.

797
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 3: You get a lot of.

798
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 2: Leeway to do whatever you want and get yourself over.

799
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: And I'm trying to do it for a second time,

800
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 2: slowly but surely getting used to By the way, I'm

801
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: very used to New York one oh one Wrestling, and

802
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 2: I was trying to adjust to TNA and ADW and

803
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: New Japan. And in the first couple of months, I'm

804
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: just starting to get there. I'm just getting my teeth

805
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 2: into it. Let alone to figure out the difference of

806
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 2: what the crowd wants, of what the product is, and

807
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 2: the whole work has been done, and the first couple

808
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 2: of months of matches are getting done and I'm getting

809
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 2: better every day.

810
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: I think I stole a graphic you're tagging with your brother.

811
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: Have you worked with him before?

812
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 2: Hilariously, we've only done comedy shows and been on some

813
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 2: stuff together. One time in NXT, they sent I believe

814
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: I was like holding the money in the bank briefcase contract,

815
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: and they sent myself and AJ to NXT just to

816
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 2: like be a part of a six man match, just

817
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 2: to get some people in the door or something.

818
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 3: I don't even remember why. Because of my in the match,

819
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 3: I was.

820
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: Like, oh, this is great. I'm like, I'll do something

821
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 2: with Ryan. We'll start off well, I'll talk a bunch

822
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: of trash and call you guys all idiots, you suck,

823
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 2: and then we'll get down to it and then we'll

824
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 2: have Trimperetta hit this finish and Ryan'll hit this day

825
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: of this and they we're not doing any of that.

826
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: This is and by the way, it was barely NXC.

827
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't like big, you know, Olympic Training Center NXC.

828
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 2: It's very new NXT. And they're like, we're not doing

829
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: any of that. You're squashing these guys and like you're like, oh,

830
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 2: are you Like yes, you're not, like oh, So we

831
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: didn't really get to have like a fun match and

832
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: do things.

833
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 3: So this will be the first time.

834
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

835
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 3: We're actually doing something together, especially planned out. So yeah,

836
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 3: it's very exciting.

837
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: Fun. Well, that's fun. So I love the wrestling. Love

838
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: talking about wrestling. Co talk to for another five hours

839
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: about it. I want to transition over to your comedy

840
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: because I find it really interesting. I know you did

841
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: something called Flying Chuck. It was that you're like your

842
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: first attempt at like doing these live shows on your own.

843
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 2: No, that's just that's a fun show that I did

844
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 2: and where you tell stories and you do a little

845
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 2: improv in between stories, and it's fun. And I did

846
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 2: a couple of those my brother. That was at the beginning.

847
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: But I was very lucky because of social media. I

848
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 2: was born with wrestling even fifteen years ago. So I'm

849
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 2: just putting like jokes on my Twitter, like just making

850
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 2: jokes of whatever happened to the news or something in

851
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 2: wrestling or something in TV.

852
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 3: Whatever.

853
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 2: And Sean O'Connor, who's writing for James Corden and a

854
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 2: couple other things.

855
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 3: At the time, he's like, hey, man, you want to

856
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 3: be on the show.

857
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, I don't really have any material written,

858
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 2: but yeah, I'll do it, and it was just like,

859
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 2: he goes.

860
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 3: You have no right to be on this show, but

861
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 3: I'm a wrestling fans. I'm putting you on it.

862
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 2: So it's a bunch of open micers and Andy Kindler

863
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 2: and Andy Kidler's gonna rush for thirty minutes and then

864
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: you go do your three minutes and I go, okay,

865
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 2: I'll do it. So I wrote out like a three

866
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: minute Chipotle bit that I didn't know was work or not.

867
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: I didn't go to do open mics.

868
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 2: I didn't. It was just like walking on stage and

869
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: by stage, it's the backroom of a coffee house. It's

870
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: a stage in Silver Lake, Yeah, which is technically a stage.

871
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: Most of the people are in the crowd. They're like

872
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: going over their jokes.

873
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 3: And like rolling their eyes.

874
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 2: And then Andy Kindler comes out and if you don't

875
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 2: know who he is, like he's had Bob's Burger's. But

876
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 2: I've known it from like the eighties as long term

877
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: stand up comedy, like I'm a huge fan.

878
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 3: He goes out basically with no material.

879
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: It just crushes for thirty minutes on everybody, just like

880
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 2: seemingly making it up off the top of his head.

881
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: Kills and walks out and then I go out there

882
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 2: and I'm like, don't drop the bike.

883
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 3: Remember you're the first.

884
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: Word, and I'm like, so scared, and I do that.

885
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 2: It's a four minute set.

886
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 3: I think, I do it like two and a half

887
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 3: minutes because I'm so scared and just run through it.

888
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 3: But the very first.

889
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: Opening thing I said, I said this opening sentence, and

890
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 2: it felt like a minute went by, have just total silence,

891
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I s feel my face getting hot,

892
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 2: and I'm like, this sucks.

893
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 3: What did I do? And one person in the crowd like,

894
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 3: who's on the pointless?

895
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 2: I went okay, and I looked, Andy Kin is still there.

896
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: He was supposed to leave break to other show, and

897
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 2: he's laughing at a thing I said off to the

898
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 2: side of go what okay.

899
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 3: So then I extra run through like the next two

900
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 3: minutes of my my set. It sucks. Who cares? I

901
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: don't know what I'm doing.

902
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 2: But I got up station. I go, oh my god,

903
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: I can't wait to switch this, this, and this. I

904
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 2: gotta do it again. And it was like I was

905
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: hooked then. And that was a long long time ago,

906
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 2: but every year I'd get one or two shots. But

907
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: back then that was the five six days a week

908
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: with WWE and myself, Shamus Kofe Miz were constantly just

909
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: staying on the road or doing pr in between, so

910
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 2: like there was no time off. So getting I started

911
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: ten years ago, but it was like the first six

912
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 2: years was like two shows a year and it was

913
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: like sometimes five minutes sometimes and it was but that

914
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 2: was I had no I'm trying to find my notebooks,

915
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 2: like uh, notebooks like this just stacked up around.

916
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: My house, just stories written down.

917
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 2: It's stories, but mostly like stand ups of like this

918
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 2: is very annoying waiting at this light. This person doing

919
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: this thing, this that Chipotle acts like they're getting paid

920
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 2: by the rice to put it on my breath. And

921
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: it's just like there's all these millions of little things

922
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 2: and I was trying to make them into jokes and

923
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 2: then knowing that several of my first shows will just

924
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 2: be wrestling fans, and it's like, Okay, I gotta put

925
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 2: some wrestling stuff in there. So I always tried to

926
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 2: have some little balance of like wrestling stuff, dating stuff,

927
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: and like some kind of fast food to where it

928
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: was like if you're a wrestling fan, you know if

929
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: you're a hardcore wrestling fan, you know forty percent of

930
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: the bits. If you don't watch anything and just know

931
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: the rocket whole COVID, you'll get twenty percent of it.

932
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: If you don't watch wrestling at all, know anything, twenty

933
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 2: percent of it will still be me on Tinder trying

934
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 2: to get a girlfriend or something. So I always wanted

935
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 2: I didn't want to I isolate or take away the audience.

936
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 3: That I was begging to get. It was like I

937
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 3: knew wrestling fans were there and I had to give

938
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 3: them something.

939
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: But also the occasional wrestling pan has a girlfriend, so

940
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 2: let's get some Tinder dog something.

941
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: Yes, I interviewed Jim Florentine on this show before, and yeah,

942
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. And he's a wrestling fan as well.

943
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: So when he was going, you know, he knew he's

944
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: CW blah blah blah, and I had asked him. I said,

945
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you're pretty crude about like family members

946
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: or stuff. I said, do you make that up? And

947
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: do they get mad? And he goes, nine times out

948
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: of ten, I usually fabricate a lot of my stand up.

949
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,479
Speaker 1: He goes, and if they get mad, and then don't

950
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: talk to me. It doesn't really matter. And I said,

951
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm the type of person like you, even in like

952
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 1: when it comes back to wrestling promos, you can call

953
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: me any name in the book as long as it's

954
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: in front of the camera. Like if you did it

955
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, it would break my heart. Oh, I

956
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: can definitely sit in the front row and take it

957
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: and laugh along, because that's what humor is, and you

958
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: have to laugh at yourself, you know. And I learned

959
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: so much from like guys like him, and I interviewed

960
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: a couple of other guys, but he was like the

961
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: biggest comedian And I asked him, like, do you get

962
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: heckled a lot? Like how do you handle a heckler?

963
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: Are telling me, yeah, you how how did you handler

964
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: handle a heckler?

965
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 3: I like not having something prepared and just saying something.

966
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 2: And I was very lucky to for a couple of

967
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: years to have Sarah Tiana, who's a genuine headliner. She

968
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 2: would middle for me because she knew how to do

969
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 2: stand up and she would deal with the clubs and

970
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: she could get the order and everything going behind the scenes.

971
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 3: So she was really.

972
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 2: Good about, uh pulling people out because a lot of

973
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: times people were there. I'm very lucky wrestling fans will

974
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 2: go out of their way to support you in some

975
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 2: other venue, so they go out of their way to

976
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 2: be there. But she said for a while she could

977
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 2: just see there, just see they're like, when's Nick coming out?

978
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 2: Like you're not him, You're not a wrestler.

979
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 3: What are you doing? Are you banging him?

980
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: We hate you?

981
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: Like so she was like she was always ready to go, and.

982
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: Stupidly, almost no one heckles me and something to yell

983
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 2: out like Nikki or something, and you're like, okay, that's not.

984
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 3: Even that funny, like all right, got it?

985
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: You why the stage?

986
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 2: I was like yeah, and Sarah would She would always

987
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 2: be like, listen, there's a reason they don't pass out

988
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 2: these mf and MIC's at the door. There's one and

989
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: I'm holding it so like sit there, and I was like,

990
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 2: oh damn, all right. So and then she knew very

991
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 2: little about wrestling, so we would do a Q and

992
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 2: A and it would be extra funny because they're like,

993
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: when are you going to aw and she goes the

994
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 2: root beer and it was just like we're all set,

995
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: like it was just and then we would just bust

996
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: each other's balls, and yeah, actually did a Comedy Central

997
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: roast battle together. I saw it awesome. I so fun

998
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 2: to write jokes. It was naked to TV, like what

999
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 2: the hell? So she was a killer and she always

1000
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: really helped out. And then eventually got to a part

1001
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 2: where if you're there and you're a wrestling fan, if

1002
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 2: I get all my stories and an I could do

1003
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 2: like forty minutes. I wouldn't say that it was like

1004
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: really good. It was just I could pull that kind

1005
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 2: of time and tell some wrestling stories if I needed to.

1006
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 2: But also I'm working on you know, my Chipotle and

1007
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 2: tender stuff Chipotle.

1008
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: Did you see the Tom Brady roost?

1009
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 2: I saw so many clips of it that I haven't

1010
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 2: watched it all the way through yet, but it was

1011
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 2: so everyone was like, did you see Glazer?

1012
00:43:58,360 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 3: She killed like she always did.

1013
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: You know, she was the best. I thought Nikki was

1014
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: the best out of all of them, just her to

1015
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: everything hit for her. So then I went back and

1016
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: I found a reality show that she did, and I

1017
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: was kind of disappointed with her.

1018
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 3: Oh really, yeah, is it hers?

1019
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: No, it's her, it's her her life. She had to

1020
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: move back to the Midwest. When COVID hit and but

1021
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: it was I know there are work, I mean we

1022
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, I know realities at work, but this one,

1023
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: it just it was too too much, Like I I

1024
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: just knew most of this stuff was just like that's

1025
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: not happening. That's I don't know. I was just I

1026
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: love her stand up, but I was disappointed in her

1027
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: in her show. But I think she's great, Like she's

1028
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,959
Speaker 1: funny as hell, a killer.

1029
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 3: She looks great and then probably makes people more mad,

1030
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 3: which is so great. Like I love that.

1031
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: She was awesome.

1032
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 2: She was like if you're a killer and smart and funny,

1033
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 2: like that's the best cowboy you could like.

1034
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 3: I love that.

1035
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben Affleck just he struck out.

1036
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 3: He wasn't really did he have a good joke.

1037
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: He it was it was kind of a bit about

1038
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: like you know, guys tweeting at you, calling you a loser,

1039
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 1: like you know, the keyboard warrior kind of thing, and

1040
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: you could tell he was kind of reading off the teleprompter.

1041
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: But his delay I thought as an actor it would

1042
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: have been more precise. But then he got pissed off

1043
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: and he left. He didn't even like go shake to

1044
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's hand. He left and I think he was pissed.

1045
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: And then I watched THEO Vaughn is another kill. Now,

1046
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: I I'm a big reality show nut, so I know

1047
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: him from.

1048
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 3: Like road Rules and now.

1049
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I'm back in the my age, but going

1050
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: back in the in the days of yes and so anyway,

1051
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: I was listening to his podcast. Nicky was on his

1052
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: and she was saying Ben was supposed to stay. And

1053
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: then when Tom did his bit, he was referring to

1054
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: to him, but the camera would look around. He's like

1055
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: he's not even here.

1056
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 3: Oh that's really I feel like I would have heard

1057
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 3: more stuff about that. Now I want to know what

1058
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 3: the deal was.

1059
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think because he kind

1060
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: of like lost the audience and kind of bombed. He

1061
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 1: got pissed off and he just walked off the stage

1062
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: pistol off.

1063
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 3: Now I got to watch that.

1064
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: It was good.

1065
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: You would think, you know actors like they commit to

1066
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: the bit, but also some people like we get it,

1067
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, we I wanna be stand up.

1068
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 2: So like I get excited for the Roads because I

1069
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: used to watch the old ones. I write down all

1070
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: these jokes. I want to be a part of it.

1071
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: I want to go watch them, so we get excited

1072
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 2: about it. But I also try and like tell other people,

1073
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: like when you're when you're doing media rounds and you

1074
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: bounce up to like thirty radio stations and twenty TV

1075
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: shows a lot of Or someone comes to be a

1076
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 2: guest host on Raw and they're in the middle of

1077
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 2: a thing for their movie. They're like, they're on no

1078
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 2: sleep through on two days of shit. They don't know

1079
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: what wrestling is. They don't give a damn about this,

1080
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 2: and they're like yeah, yeah, and those read the cue cards.

1081
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 2: So maybe the ben Affleck who's doing movies and directing

1082
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: behind the seats, he was like, yeah, I'll come do

1083
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 2: this this bullshit little thing for a million bucks, and

1084
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,200

1203
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: concerts my whole life.

1204
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:28,720

00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: is about going to a concert, Like I'll have to

1208
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: pee and I don't know where the bathroom is and

1209
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: then I can't get back to my seat.

1210
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm a weirdo. Two things.

1211
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 2: No, not. When I'm booking tickets, I look for an

1212
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 2: aisle seat so I can go pee.

1213
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: Okay, because smart.

1214
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 3: After one beer, I have to pee every quarter of

1215
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 3: a beer.

1216
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: Because you break the seal.

1217
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 2: So I got a hold of it. Yeah, but once,

1218
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 2: once it's broken, I'm ruined. So I to find the

1219
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 2: set list online, find some bullet points, like okay, okay,

1220
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: after a wild side, they're gonna do a little medley,

1221
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 2: so I can run in the bathroom there, okay. And

1222
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 2: then after girls girls girls that I know they're going

1223
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 2: into this uh cover that I don't like, so I

1224
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 2: can run to the bathroom.

1225
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 3: I get it.

1226
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 2: I look for aisle seats, I time out bathroom breaks

1227
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 2: because once it's broken, I can't stop it. And if

1228
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to one of those shows, I'm not not

1229

00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 2: way off in the distance, it all the the stage

1239
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 2: went dark and the place went insane, and there was

1240
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 2: a spotlight and it was just him, like you know

1241
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 2: those like spotlight wood carving that people have up against

1242
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 2: trees or by their houses.

1243
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: It's like, oh yeah, like a silhouette.

1244
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, just hit him sitting there and I heard

1245
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 2: shrieks like the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, like we're seeing

1246
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 2: my ears, like and I was so far away, so

1247
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 2: I can only just see like the like some guy

1248
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:18,280
Speaker 2: with the hat tipped down and he threw a rose.

1249
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 3: And I'm a mile away.

1250
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 2: The first half mile of people all like you know

1251
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 2: when someone throws the bouquet a wedding. Yeah, and now

1252
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 2: well in twenty twenty four and kind of stepped back,

1253
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 2: but they, like half of a concert arena jumped forward

1254
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 2: for a rose. And I can't believe that there was

1255
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 2: like Walmart Black Friday, like people being trampled to death.

1256
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 2: That's all I remember from that, but we were so

1257
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 2: far away. Anyway, I got the rose, there you go.

1258
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 2: That's all I remember for my first concert. And I

1259
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 2: was like, whoa, the people are crazy. And I think

1260
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 2: you wanted like Billy Jean or one of the songs

1261
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 2: that I knew even as a kid. I don't know

1262
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,280

1390
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 2: then we all fall down and it's like, yeah, us

1391
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 2: around and beat us up.

1392
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 3: But he wasn't happy about it.

1393
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 2: He got but yeah, but it was like it was

1394
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 2: a funny thing and we love Show. And then then

1395
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 2: we also got to a point where we were doing

1396
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 2: like a fake, like a prank version on WW where

1397
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 2: they would always prank people like Big Show or somebody else,

1398
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 2: and they'd send.

1399
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 3: Me out and be like, hey, Show, we're just messing

1400
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 3: with you, and he's.

1401
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 2: Like red and sweating and furious, and I'm like, sorry, buddy,

1402
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 2: I know, but this wasn't my idea. I got to

1403
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 2: a point where but you know, we Show and Kane,

1404
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 2: I love those guys. It was that we tried to

1405
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 2: do a rib one time and it didn't work out

1406
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 2: In our favor, and that was I'll stay out of

1407
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 2: all that stuff. Do you have any reasonable ones that

1408
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 2: aren't someone being roofied or thrown off a building or

1409
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 2: something like? Do you have any fun regular ones? Do

1410
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 2: I I know where you worked?

1411
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, I mean you know they they didn't

1412
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: really do at least not to me. There wasn't really

1413
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: like hateful ribs like you hear a lot of like

1414
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 1: the hateful hazing. Our locker room didn't do stuff like that,

1415
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Like I tell us one of the stories. It's been

1416
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: told so many times, but apparently you haven't heard it. C. W. Anderson.

1417
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: So he had a really bad like gag reflex, and

1418
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: he would get sick if like he saw either somebody

1419
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, getting sick or defecating or something gross would

1420
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 1: make him one of the moment as well, And so

1421
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: we thought it would be We thought it would be

1422
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: funny if Tommy Dreamer stuck a brownie up his ass

1423
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: and uh pretended to like go to the bathroom in

1424
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: the middle of the locker room. But first of all,

1425
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: it was my brownie, and I was pissed because I

1426
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: wanted to eat the brownie. But I said, I'm a

1427
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: team player. You can have. I sacrificed my brownie for you.

1428
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 3: Know, I appreciate you said your cheat meal for another day.

1429
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: I did well. Oh back then, I ate like a

1430
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,439
Speaker 1: p I ate whatever my metabolism was, so I didn't

1431
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: gain announce you know, I was super thin. But yeah,

1432
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: I so I gave my brownie. And and I just

1433
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: had learned recently in somebody reliving the story, they said

1434
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: that Tommy wrestled with the brownie. I don't remember him

1435
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: wrestling with that brownie. I thought he just stuck it up,

1436
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: as you know, up his bumb when he came to

1437
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: the back. But regardless, he had it up in his

1438
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 1: pants because he wore the big black pants. And what

1439
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 1: I think he was he was crouched over in the

1440
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: position like grunting, and they made me run and get

1441
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 1: c W and say, oh, you're needed in the room,

1442
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 1: and I pull him in the room. And then as

1443
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: soon as he comes in, the brown he literally plops

1444
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: out and like his ass is just bare ass, and

1445
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: he literally starts gagging and he threw up and it

1446
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: was it was just the brownie, and so you know

1447
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: it was just well, no, I really said I'll get

1448
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: another one. That wasn't borrow it, that wasn't my cup

1449
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 1: of tea. He probably he probably ate it afterwards because

1450
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: that's why he is. But I did not eat that story,

1451
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: thank you very much. But it was just stupid little

1452
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,680
