- 2:09Speaker 1: before we even get to the belt. We met, Yeah,
- 2:13Speaker 1: we met, see me back.
- 2:15Speaker 4: In I think I was twenty eighteen. I was working
- 2:17Speaker 4: on the Eyes and the Show. I was just doing
- 2:20Speaker 4: social media at the time. When they came in. You know,
- 2:24Speaker 4: we chopped it up, started talking about wrestling, blah blah blah,
- 2:27Speaker 4: and then I think over the next few years we
- 2:29Speaker 4: may have seen each other three more times. I only
- 2:32Speaker 4: really knew him from him coming on the show and
- 2:34Speaker 4: coming to show. You sit in the green room for maybe.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Half an hour.
- 2:37Speaker 2: You say, what do you promote the movie?
- 2:39Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 2:39Speaker 4: You had any nonsense? You Calledilla one time Zilla straight
- 2:44Speaker 4: up the first thing. And then I wasn't there for
- 2:48Speaker 4: that one. Oh you really weren't there?
- 2:50Speaker 1: No, dang, I can't imagine.
- 2:53Speaker 2: God of Company your first movie.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Technically technically technically yeah, because my first movie movie really
- 3:01Speaker 3: is this movie proms did called.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Jankie Promoters and I played the DJ. I got one line.
- 3:08Speaker 1: But that's my first movie, straight that's like legit.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I actually got it, like hired and paid
- 3:19Speaker 3: for Jankie Promoter.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Wow. So you guys met just met through the Eisen Show.
- 3:24Speaker 4: At the show and then make a long story short,
- 3:28Speaker 4: Rich decided he want to have a podcast tree for
- 3:31Speaker 4: the Eisen Show. Once he put me on, I just
- 3:35Speaker 4: started infusing wrestling talk and with normal sports talk.
- 3:40Speaker 1: I don't think anyone was really doing.
- 3:41Speaker 4: It the way I was doing it, Like I'd equate
- 3:43Speaker 4: Tom Brady that John Cena and like during Week six
- 3:46Speaker 4: of the NFL season, you know, And so Rich kind
- 3:50Speaker 4: of knew that I really loved wrestling and I've incorporated
- 3:55Speaker 4: into normal sports talk. So came time for me to
- 3:58Speaker 4: do a wrestling pod. He asked, like, who would I
- 4:00Speaker 4: want as a as a co host? And I immediately man,
- 4:04Speaker 4: because if you knew him from Twitter back in the day,
- 4:08Speaker 4: and even I mean it's still continues to this day.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I noticed it every time he tweeted by wrestling, the.
- 4:13Speaker 4: Engagement was off the hook, right, because yeah, so I
- 4:17Speaker 4: knew that we you know, we had met three or
- 4:19Speaker 4: four times.
- 4:20Speaker 1: We always had like we was always cool, it seemed like.
- 4:22Speaker 4: So we reached out and I said his name, and
- 4:25Speaker 4: Rich took thought for like one second, picked up the
- 4:28Speaker 4: phone and called him and took a while to get
- 4:30Speaker 4: everything going. You know, lafter a few months, I guess.
- 4:33Speaker 2: What's the name of the show?
- 4:34Speaker 1: No contest, non wrestling, No contest?
- 4:38Speaker 3: Yeah, he TJ had when we were first getting the show,
- 4:42Speaker 3: like we're trying to figure out like what the look
- 4:45Speaker 3: was gonna be and things like that, he gave me
- 4:47Speaker 3: a list of like twenty or thirty names, and no
- 4:51Speaker 3: contests just popped from the beginning because like, not only
- 4:54Speaker 3: is it.
- 4:55Speaker 1: A wrestling term when you have like a draw or
- 4:57Speaker 1: like you know.
- 4:57Speaker 3: It's no contest, but also liked it as the double
- 5:01Speaker 3: entendre of you can't mess with it.
- 5:03Speaker 1: You know, there is no.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Context, so it's just it's just poling n CW.
- 5:08Speaker 1: It sounds like a promotion.
- 5:09Speaker 3: It sounds like legit, and so we were been rocking
- 5:13Speaker 3: with that ever since.
- 5:14Speaker 1: People been picking it.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Up nice, So your audience has grown huh.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, definitely seems to be.
- 5:22Speaker 4: I mean, I think the first time I noticed it
- 5:24Speaker 4: was last year's WrestleMania in Vegas.
- 5:28Speaker 1: The dude, I.
- 5:29Speaker 4: Gotta say, Man, he's like the pied piper a wrestling ship.
- 5:32Speaker 1: See, he truly is.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Like I don't I don't even get it why people
- 5:35Speaker 4: love him so much.
- 5:36Speaker 6: You don't make numbing, but when you're authentic, and he's
- 5:40Speaker 6: probably an authentic fan, Yeah, he knows what he's talking about.
- 5:45Speaker 1: So people love him.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Man.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like he seriously everywhere he goes people call
- 5:50Speaker 4: his name or when they holler at us.
- 5:51Speaker 2: You show up at the events, oh yeah, you got
- 5:54Speaker 2: to go.
- 5:55Speaker 3: If you're a reference fan, or even if you're just
- 5:57Speaker 3: trying to check it out, you gotta.
- 6:01Speaker 1: It's different, you know. I've heard that about.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Certain sports too, like hockey and baseball really grabbed me
- 6:10Speaker 3: once I started to go there live, you know, So
- 6:15Speaker 3: with wrestling.
- 6:15Speaker 1: It's the same thing. There's nothing like being there.
- 6:20Speaker 3: And having a crowd that's like, that's really on point.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Because you're part of the electricity. Don't let you get
- 6:28Speaker 3: a beer in, don't want you get a beer into.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Oh now, and how you're making friends, Like now it
- 6:32Speaker 3: is a party.
- 6:34Speaker 2: And there's a lingo.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I know.
- 6:35Speaker 3: It's like, oh yeah, we got our own language, your
- 6:37Speaker 3: own language, right, our own language didn't give me some
- 6:40Speaker 3: of the phrases like the I mean number one, the
- 6:43Speaker 3: thing that you're always looking for is a good pop.
- 6:46Speaker 1: And now a pop is like literally what it sounds.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Like, like the crowd bursting into you know, an uproar,
- 6:54Speaker 3: just anything, whether that be somebody's intro, something they said,
- 6:57Speaker 3: you're always looking for the pop or move happening. The
- 7:01Speaker 3: pop is when you know you got a good crowd
- 7:03Speaker 3: and you got somebody.
- 7:04Speaker 1: In there doing something insane. Right.
- 7:08Speaker 4: This isn't necessarily a term, but something I think all
- 7:12Speaker 4: wrestling fans have been to a show know that person,
- 7:15Speaker 4: Especially if you go to a smaller show, there's always
- 7:17Speaker 4: someone in the crowd trying to be the comedian, right,
- 7:20Speaker 4: and the second they say something funny, then someone else
- 7:22Speaker 4: is gonna try to say something funny. It's just like
- 7:25Speaker 4: you see it a lot more on the smaller shows.
- 7:27Speaker 4: But it's like sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's not. But
- 7:29Speaker 4: there's always that person who's gonna yell something and get
- 7:33Speaker 4: to laugh and then they're just gonna keep going through
- 7:36Speaker 4: with those shows. So that's something you will always see
- 7:38Speaker 4: at these shows and something. Yeah, there's always a few
- 7:41Speaker 4: comedians in there.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Sometimes there's little kids that you know, like their parents
- 7:46Speaker 3: let them cust only at wrestler. They're not really using
- 7:48Speaker 3: the word, but they're just going too hard. How about this.
- 7:55Speaker 1: It's a great time and I've always been like I've
- 8:00Speaker 1: always loved it. And so like when it came time
- 8:04Speaker 1: to like.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Make a decision on what I wanted to do, because
- 8:09Speaker 3: the strike scared me.
- 8:11Speaker 1: The strike scared me. I didn't like it.
- 8:13Speaker 3: I thought about, you know, what is something that I
- 8:16Speaker 3: can do that I love and it won't feel like
- 8:18Speaker 3: work the same way that acting doesn't really feel like
- 8:21Speaker 3: work to me, but like there's still a lot that
- 8:24Speaker 3: goes into it. And it was like you're already on
- 8:27Speaker 3: Twitter talking shit for free, you know, like let's try
- 8:31Speaker 3: to flip this some type of way, and yeah, if
- 8:35Speaker 3: TJ suggested me, it was just at the right.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Time, Right, I'm just gonna be on twitch. Yeah, like
- 8:40Speaker 1: am pops a studio.
- 8:42Speaker 3: Or something trying to get a couple of wrestlers to
- 8:44Speaker 3: come through, or like you know, but to this was
- 8:47Speaker 3: like the best route I could have I could have
- 8:50Speaker 3: taken and it has.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Blossomed a lot.
- 8:54Speaker 3: We knew we would be we could be big. You
- 8:58Speaker 3: just don't know how fast things are gonna.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, and it's been.
- 9:01Speaker 3: It's been in some wild situations where we looked at
- 9:04Speaker 3: each other like there's no way.
- 9:06Speaker 1: We just talked to you know, like there's no way.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Stephanie McMahon just gave us a hunt, like, wait a minut?
- 9:12Speaker 4: Why is why Shae? He knows I'm on the air
- 9:14Speaker 4: till noon? Yeah, why are you blow up my phone

- 9:51Speaker 3: I'm a little bit I'm if you've seen my Twitter
- 9:55Speaker 3: or know me personally, I'm going to be a little aggressive.
- 9:59Speaker 3: I'm working on it, but people find it entertaining, So
- 10:02Speaker 3: I don't get it.
- 10:04Speaker 6: I mean, do you finally get into like really good
- 10:06Speaker 6: arguments with people.
- 10:07Speaker 1: No, I'm looking for good arguments.
- 10:10Speaker 3: I would love to talk to people and have like
- 10:12Speaker 3: real conversations, but like people are just saying one little
- 10:16Speaker 3: thing to get my attention for some likes, So I'm
- 10:18Speaker 3: gonna get more likes, And yeah, I just get.
- 10:21Speaker 1: A kick out of that.
- 10:22Speaker 2: He's the more like analytical.
- 10:23Speaker 1: It's very calm peace. You know, let's let's try to
- 10:27Speaker 1: find a diplomatic way to happen.
- 10:29Speaker 6: And I would get you going, what would get you
- 10:33Speaker 6: pissed off?
- 10:34Speaker 1: Like?
- 10:35Speaker 3: I hate when people who are supposed to be like,
- 10:40Speaker 3: as wrestling fans, we know what we're looking at, okay,
- 10:43Speaker 3: like we know what we're watching.
- 10:45Speaker 2: You know it's a shot, Like we know what we're watching.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Here, and yet.
- 10:50Speaker 3: You you start blending whether or not you know what
- 10:54Speaker 3: you're looking at, Like you start arguing for things, whether
- 10:59Speaker 3: that be somebody holding a belt for a number of
- 11:04Speaker 3: times before a big match could happen. You, as a
- 11:06Speaker 3: wrestling fan, know that this guy and this guy aren't
- 11:09Speaker 3: gonna fight till WrestleMania, So there is no world where
- 11:13Speaker 3: the belt is going to be lost until then. So
- 11:16Speaker 3: why are you complaining all the way there? Like that
- 11:19Speaker 3: person should lose.
- 11:20Speaker 1: You know better?
- 11:21Speaker 3: And I hate when they act stupid, And I feel
- 11:24Speaker 3: like when you're acting stupid, you're trying to play me,
- 11:27Speaker 3: and then I hear my mom in my ear and
- 11:29Speaker 3: I'm cussing you out, like it's just it happens that way.
- 11:32Speaker 3: Or if anybody disrespects the tribal chief, I don't deal
- 11:35Speaker 3: with that, brom tribal chief.
- 11:39Speaker 2: That's your thing. Yeah, I mean he is the guy, right,
- 11:43Speaker 2: I mean he's got the look.
- 11:44Speaker 1: He's a god.
- 11:46Speaker 2: And I'm not even a hard core. I need tell they.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Acknowledging like everybody else is the twos, but we the
- 11:56Speaker 3: one we want.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Actually, what annoys me?
- 12:00Speaker 4: Something about wrestling fans or like you just said, we
- 12:02Speaker 4: know what we're watching, we know this game, and yet
- 12:05Speaker 4: someone will get online and continue to complain that, Oh
- 12:09Speaker 4: Cody Ray Cody Roads his rain is so boring? Or
- 12:11Speaker 4: why is Charlotte always getting the championship so many times?
- 12:14Speaker 4: Like we know that they don't control what we're doing.
- 12:18Speaker 4: We know that they're actors and we know that they're
- 12:22Speaker 4: not writing. Do you really think that Charlotte Plair is
- 12:24Speaker 4: going in there and taking the pen the pencil and going,
- 12:27Speaker 4: I don't win the championship fourteen times?
- 12:31Speaker 1: Or Cody's rain is boring?
- 12:33Speaker 6: Bro?
- 12:34Speaker 1: Is that really that Cody Road's fault? No?
- 12:37Speaker 6: Like, no, no, I mean he can't control with a writer, right, Yeah,
- 12:40Speaker 6: so people people know that, and yet we'll still say
- 12:43Speaker 6: stuff like that and it doesn't make sense.
- 12:45Speaker 4: It's like complaining that, like the Ewoks didn't do something
- 12:49Speaker 4: like what.
- 12:51Speaker 3: You're mad at Mark Hamil because of something said, Yeah
- 12:54Speaker 3: I write this, bro, I'm just I'm just a word
- 12:56Speaker 3: sayer baby.
- 12:57Speaker 1: So it's uh, yeah, it's really annoying. But I like
- 13:00Speaker 1: it's just this one of.
- 13:02Speaker 3: The most passionate fans there is, yeah, for sure, because
- 13:05Speaker 3: they buy in and they buy into the point where
- 13:07Speaker 3: they got to remind themselves of a guy. I'm losing myself.
- 13:14Speaker 3: I love Cody all right, I like him, but once
- 13:19Speaker 3: the cameras are on. I'm a chief guy, so I
- 13:21Speaker 3: got a blowing all right, it's part of the gig
- 13:23Speaker 3: I'm buying in. But like, how could you not like
- 13:26Speaker 3: Cody and like his story? His redemption is the best.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Like he left, went and and and gambled on himself
- 13:36Speaker 3: and made WWE's like competition like into this big thing.
- 13:41Speaker 1: He was a part of it. I know they're gonna
- 13:43Speaker 1: love that, U, but he was a.
- 13:45Speaker 3: Part of that that that major promotion in a w
- 13:49Speaker 3: and then he left and then came back to WWE.
- 13:52Speaker 1: It is the man.
- 13:53Speaker 3: And then we know, like the stories of the things
- 13:56Speaker 3: that his father had to go through and battling against
- 13:59Speaker 3: Bence McMahon in a lot of situations.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Right for Cody to be able to prosper the way
- 14:04Speaker 1: the full circle moment, how could you hate that?
- 14:06Speaker 3: You know?
- 14:06Speaker 2: I'm part of WrestleMania history.
- 14:08Speaker 1: You know that?
- 14:09Speaker 6: Right?
- 14:09Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 14:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm viewed as like an o G even though
- 14:12Speaker 2: I'm not like a hard core was it tenary ten
- 14:16Speaker 2: or eleven eleven? I announced the diesel and showing.
- 14:20Speaker 4: The Michaels, Right, that's the one with Pam Anderson.
- 14:27Speaker 2: She's married to Donnie Walbrough.
- 14:29Speaker 6: J Y, Yeah, I was running around doing interviews, I did.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Commercials with all the wrestlers, right, yeah.
- 14:36Speaker 1: What was your time? What do you remember?
- 14:38Speaker 6: I just remember it was a great experience, and I remember,
- 14:40Speaker 6: you know, they were they treated me great.
- 14:42Speaker 1: You know.
- 14:43Speaker 6: One guy has called me tricky Nikki. He tricky Nikky.
- 14:46Speaker 4: But they were Shawn Michaels or something, right, So obviously
- 14:49Speaker 4: you had to work with Vince at some point.
- 14:52Speaker 1: He was cool.
- 14:53Speaker 2: He was really good.
- 14:53Speaker 6: He was like, you know, he had me on the
- 14:55Speaker 6: mic and I was running around, and they couldn't have
- 14:59Speaker 6: been nice the whole wrestling.
- 15:01Speaker 4: I say that family, and I've said that to him,
- 15:03Speaker 4: and I've said it on our shows. Everyone in the
- 15:06Speaker 4: world treated people the way people treat each other backstage
- 15:10Speaker 4: at a wrestling match.
- 15:12Speaker 1: This world will be infinitely better.
- 15:14Speaker 6: I know, because you know, there's a lot of douches
- 15:16Speaker 6: in sports, you know, and especially like even the game
- 15:19Speaker 6: that I love, baseball, there's a lot of really douchey
- 15:22Speaker 6: kind of people. But at least with these guys, they
- 15:25Speaker 6: were like really good guys behind the scenes, all good guys.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Very welcome, yeah, very welcome.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Hecommodating.
- 15:32Speaker 6: Yeah, Damian pretty fleet guy, I know him, great guy,
- 15:35Speaker 6: I mean off the screens, even a better guy than
- 15:38Speaker 6: on the screen.
- 15:39Speaker 4: I've kind of seen that friendship kind of evolve on
- 15:42Speaker 4: social media, how you guys.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Yeah, just it just kind of connected. And and his
- 15:47Speaker 2: father looks like my.
- 15:48Speaker 6: Brothers the whole thing there.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Yeah, he's ship, you know.
- 15:54Speaker 6: And Damien is just a he's really I think he's
- 15:57Speaker 6: a little underrated. I think he just needs a little
- 15:59Speaker 6: something and make him pop a little more, you know.
- 16:02Speaker 4: I mean, look, man, he got one of the biggest
- 16:05Speaker 4: moments on the biggest stage. I know when in the
- 16:08Speaker 4: world title at WrestleMania that you know that that's a
- 16:12Speaker 4: pretty nice little feather to have.

- 16:36Speaker 6: to a playoff game together, so it was nice I
- 16:38Speaker 6: saw that.

- 16:58Speaker 6: Those are not baseball fan. Those are not are ridiculous people.
- 17:01Speaker 6: So I just don't understand that. You know, you could
- 17:05Speaker 6: show up at an opposing ballpark and you could rout.
- 17:07Speaker 2: As hard as you want, no problem, you know what
- 17:10Speaker 2: I mean. It's not but those kind of people, they're
- 17:12Speaker 2: looking for something.
- 17:14Speaker 1: The same team too. Fans are the same team.
- 17:16Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's it's horrible. I watch I get sick
- 17:19Speaker 6: to my stomach seeing that. I'm like, man, I don't
- 17:22Speaker 6: ever want to be in something like that, you know.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Yeah, not a sporting I do.
- 17:27Speaker 4: On the flip side, like after Christmas to what Thanksgiving
- 17:30Speaker 4: to watch the Black Friday flights on YouTube.
- 17:33Speaker 1: I do enjoy that Black Friday fights. I do enjoy
- 17:36Speaker 1: watching those. But yeah, the baseball stadium seeing people tumble
- 17:39Speaker 1: over seats such.
- 17:40Speaker 6: As it's me I mean years ago when I was
- 17:43Speaker 6: a kid in the seventies of red Sox Yankee fans.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Those were like organic fights.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:53Speaker 6: Yeah, they're not the nicest. They're not the nice I've
- 17:56Speaker 6: been to Fenway it say it could. It was a
- 17:57Speaker 6: harsh place before they they broke their curse.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Man, you know what I mean, he's the trash.
- 18:03Speaker 2: Yeah, nice ball park. But I'll tell you yeah boys, Yeah,
- 18:07Speaker 2: I mean, you know, on the bottom of my heart,
- 18:09Speaker 2: I mean I like.

- 18:33Speaker 1: a seventy sixth fan. He liked Duke. He liked Duke,
- 18:37Speaker 1: like Duke too great Hill that started it. I was
- 18:40Speaker 1: a George organization. Bro Well, cowboys, I'll give you that.
- 18:44Speaker 1: But like it was the nineties. I was alive in
- 18:46Speaker 1: the nineties. That's fine.
- 18:47Speaker 2: White the Cowboys.
- 18:49Speaker 3: You know.
- 18:49Speaker 4: Probably Tony Dorset is probably one of my earliest memories
- 18:54Speaker 4: I put together.
- 18:55Speaker 1: I knew we were near Pittsburgh.
- 18:56Speaker 4: I grew up in out Tuna, Pennsylvania, and Tony Dorset
- 18:59Speaker 4: played tune Outoon played but I knew Pittsburgh was close.
- 19:05Speaker 4: I knew Tony Dorset. And then I can remember Jackie Smith.
- 19:11Speaker 4: I don't remember this. Remember seeing video of Jackie Smith
- 19:15Speaker 4: dropping a touchdown against the Steelers in the Super Bowl.
- 19:18Speaker 4: That's inn early. That's one of the I just remember
- 19:21Speaker 4: seeing the replayers Smith.
- 19:23Speaker 2: That's like, that's like eighty that's when eighteen eighty or so.
- 19:27Speaker 1: I don't remember the game.
- 19:29Speaker 4: I just remember seeing a drinking.
- 19:34Speaker 1: I mean, I have making a point.
- 19:39Speaker 2: From Pennsylvania.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I I don't really drink.
- 19:42Speaker 4: So that's but back in the day, I've had a
- 19:45Speaker 4: I've had more than one.
- 19:47Speaker 3: I moved her in ninety nine, which is crazy, that's insane.
- 19:55Speaker 3: And Kobe by this time, and like there are bombs.
- 19:58Speaker 4: Of gold a three p you like, because I figure this, right,
- 20:05Speaker 4: if I could move here and I'm just a Laker fan,
- 20:07Speaker 4: that means I jumped on the bandwagon. Who's going to
- 20:10Speaker 4: respect that, That's right, nobody the Lakers.
- 20:13Speaker 1: We're like no man as a doctor jamb.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Growing up, I mean, you know he can't do that.
- 20:21Speaker 1: We would have accepted it. I mean, yeah, because I'm
- 20:23Speaker 1: accepted for Tipper going Like you.
- 20:25Speaker 6: Know, fans telling me you can always come over, you
- 20:28Speaker 6: know I can't.
- 20:31Speaker 2: But they left a long time ago, kicked out. They
- 20:34Speaker 2: didn't kicked out. They wouldn't get well, they weren't kicked out.
- 20:37Speaker 2: They couldn't. You know, they couldn't.
- 20:39Speaker 6: They weren't given the location they wanted, you know what
- 20:42Speaker 6: I mean. And then they just said, now you know,
- 20:44Speaker 6: that's why the Mets came.
- 20:45Speaker 4: The Mets are kind of like, you know, the basketball
- 20:48Speaker 4: child of the Giants and the Giants Dodgers, like a
- 20:51Speaker 4: baby at a wedlock.
- 20:55Speaker 2: You guys like brown Breaker.
- 20:57Speaker 4: Oh yeah, my god, man, you know like him, you
- 21:01Speaker 4: think about you know, we always with him.
- 21:02Speaker 1: We always have to talk about NEPO babies, right, because
- 21:05Speaker 1: he's a seventh babies, a billion, He's a star.
- 21:10Speaker 4: That's the thing about when you say, do I like
- 21:11Speaker 4: Code Rhodes, Man, I grew up the Dusty Rhodes as
- 21:15Speaker 4: a kid, so of course, like both his sons are wrestling,
- 21:18Speaker 4: of course I'm gonna be a fan.
- 21:19Speaker 1: I grew up watching him and Rick.
- 21:21Speaker 4: Flair or Rick Flair has a child who's arguably the
- 21:24Speaker 4: greatest in nerd dis vision. And his child is not
- 21:26Speaker 4: a boy but a girl.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Yes, Charlotte Clair so Rigger. I was a Steiners Brothers fan, so.
- 21:34Speaker 2: He just got it right. He has only the attribute.
- 21:38Speaker 1: It's like he was made for it.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, looks like his dad, but sounds like
- 21:44Speaker 4: his uncle, like his intensity.
- 21:49Speaker 1: He's former running back. Yeah, man, I can see him
- 21:52Speaker 1: in any era any right.
- 21:55Speaker 2: What about Dirty dom Boy?
- 21:58Speaker 4: I like him certified?
- 22:04Speaker 1: Yeah, you and him together.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Was pretty were good. Yeah, we were good. We really
- 22:08Speaker 2: like enjoyed each other.
- 22:10Speaker 4: Funny thing about Dom is when we started to interview him,
- 22:13Speaker 4: and before the interview, we'd say hello real quick before
- 22:15Speaker 4: we start. And I remember when his dad got put
- 22:18Speaker 4: into the Hall of Fame. His dad talked about what
- 22:22Speaker 4: his mom, his wife had done for him by basically
- 22:25Speaker 4: holding him down until he could get on his feet
- 22:28Speaker 4: get money, until the whole crowd was chatting Angie, and
- 22:31Speaker 4: I remember thinking.
- 22:32Speaker 1: How dopable moment that was.
- 22:34Speaker 4: So I want to ask him, like, what was it
- 22:35Speaker 4: like when you got to hear this crowd cheer.
- 22:39Speaker 1: For your mom? I thought he'd be like it was amazing.
- 22:41Speaker 1: He goes, I don't know. I left.
- 22:43Speaker 4: I did to stay around for that, and I was like, oh, okay,
- 22:46Speaker 4: so the old school, right, this is it Okay, we're
- 22:49Speaker 4: going straight character this whole interview.
- 22:51Speaker 6: So as a young guy, you would like to go
- 22:53Speaker 6: back and watch Old School?
- 22:54Speaker 2: Are you a student of it?
- 22:56Speaker 1: I started that with my sister.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Kareema was always like my my wrestling fact check because
- 23:06Speaker 3: after it was one summer where she just decided, I'm
- 23:10Speaker 3: gonna watch every single raw. So she went back to
- 23:15Speaker 3: like the first episode and was like watching it in order,
- 23:19Speaker 3: and so like she would just start telling me about
- 23:21Speaker 3: these storylines, and I'm like, you know, it sounds sound
- 23:24Speaker 3: good and you go back and you realize its like
- 23:27Speaker 3: where it's come from. How how those old school guys
- 23:33Speaker 3: have the right to talk as much crap as they
- 23:36Speaker 3: want about the Hiddle School, because.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Like, the the stuff that they had to work with was.
- 23:40Speaker 3: Just so.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Primitive is not a nice word, but it's just like,
- 23:46Speaker 1: you know, it was harder. It was way harder.
- 23:49Speaker 3: And so yeah, that's where I get major respect for
- 23:53Speaker 3: those guys. And now that you have access to so much,
- 23:56Speaker 3: you know, so many things that you could go.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Back and and look at. But but yeah, that's why
- 24:01Speaker 1: I kind of.
- 24:03Speaker 3: I think the summer of twenty I think it was
- 24:07Speaker 3: a little bit after the pandemic was when I.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Really started to appreciate like Dusty. Dusty was like just
- 24:16Speaker 1: a slick talking monster.
- 24:18Speaker 3: You know, just he always had something to say. Every
- 24:21Speaker 3: interview he had just another let me hit you with
- 24:24Speaker 3: one more zinger and I'm out right. And that's when
- 24:27Speaker 3: you get to really appreciate why Rick is Rick. You know,
- 24:31Speaker 3: when I was watching, Rick was already you know, short haired,
- 24:35Speaker 3: you know, just going around being a general manager here
- 24:38Speaker 3: and there.
- 24:38Speaker 2: So I needed to see like what the nature boy.
- 24:41Speaker 3: Really was, and that like a couple of them starcas
- 24:44Speaker 3: his entrance, like it's like a movie.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Like it's like I said it one time on camera,
- 24:49Speaker 1: I was like.
- 24:50Speaker 3: You gotta look at Rick Clair's interest to start.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Tell me that's not like America. It's like the dude
- 24:57Speaker 1: is wrestling.
- 24:59Speaker 4: It came in on a hellic after one just styling
- 25:02Speaker 4: and profiling.
- 25:03Speaker 2: I know, he just showed me the entrance of that
- 25:06Speaker 2: long Walk, Long Walk Looman just did.
- 25:09Speaker 6: Man, it came out like a biblical character. And then
- 25:12Speaker 6: you could see him in one of those movies with
- 25:13Speaker 6: that face that he's got.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, he's definitely made to transition.
- 25:18Speaker 2: What would be the dream match for him?
- 25:21Speaker 4: Rock Rock, right, that's it, right now, that would be
- 25:23Speaker 4: the ultimate, right, Yeah, that.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Would be because there's so many ways they could still
- 25:28Speaker 1: go with it.
- 25:28Speaker 2: It's almost the Rock. It's almost like his father in
- 25:31Speaker 2: a way. But I mean, is what I'm saying right.
- 25:37Speaker 4: Yeah, he's I mean, look, he literally sits atop the
- 25:41Speaker 4: food chain when you talk about if you want to
- 25:44Speaker 4: talk about who is the greatest wrestler of all time? Right,
- 25:46Speaker 4: you can either use it in the sense of who
- 25:48Speaker 4: actually got on the mat, did the best moves, was
- 25:51Speaker 4: the best wrestler, or like who is the biggest entity?
- 25:56Speaker 2: What would you say?
- 25:56Speaker 1: It would be the Rock.
- 25:58Speaker 2: You didn't have to say he's the goat.
- 26:00Speaker 4: I would say being where he was in terms of
- 26:04Speaker 4: wrestling Mount Rushmoores and then what he did after to
- 26:07Speaker 4: be the biggest movie star on Earth. I mean, yeah,
- 26:11Speaker 4: there's you could argue Halk Hogan. For a period of time,
- 26:14Speaker 4: he was the biggest in stone Cold. But when you
- 26:16Speaker 4: put it all together.
- 26:17Speaker 2: All together, it's, yeah, it's hard to beat that.
- 26:19Speaker 1: It's hard to be here.
- 26:20Speaker 6: I mean television movies, you know, wrestling cartoons. I mean,
- 26:25Speaker 6: I meant the dude recently on the Jumanji said, and you.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Could see why. He was just like he saw me.
- 26:31Speaker 6: I saw him and class all the way and I
- 26:35Speaker 6: was like, wow, this is this is what you know,
- 26:38Speaker 6: you're not disappointed when a guy, I mean, you're not
- 26:41Speaker 6: sure everybody's going to respond to you like that, but
- 26:43Speaker 6: he was.
- 26:44Speaker 4: Just especially someone like him, I have to imagine, like
- 26:47Speaker 4: everyone wants a minute of your time, and everybody has
- 26:51Speaker 4: this expectation of how you should be, so you could
- 26:54Speaker 4: either be choose to be on or you could not
- 26:56Speaker 4: choose to be He seems to be someone who chooses
- 26:59Speaker 4: to be on has to be exhausted.
- 27:01Speaker 2: It has to be and he feels like legitimate, you know.
- 27:04Speaker 2: It feels like he's like, you know, look, he looks
- 27:06Speaker 2: right out you. He talked to you.
- 27:08Speaker 6: He's like really interested in you know what you got
- 27:11Speaker 6: to say.
- 27:13Speaker 1: I have a funny rock story.
- 27:14Speaker 4: So if you guys remember, there was a little hidden
- 27:17Speaker 4: camera show back in the day on MTV.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Called Pumped Pump. We just small hidden care not it
- 27:23Speaker 1: wasn't that big, uh it was kat it is that big.
- 27:27Speaker 4: So we got to a point Ashton Kutcher was the host,
- 27:30Speaker 4: but it got to the point where it started to
- 27:32Speaker 4: run on its own, and he couldn't always be where
- 27:36Speaker 4: the print was going, Like he might be filming a
- 27:38Speaker 4: TV show and someone's like, it's like, oh, we can
- 27:41Speaker 4: get my pops, but we can only get him at
- 27:43Speaker 4: you know, two thirty five on Monday, and he.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Can be there. So we still got to run this thing.
- 27:50Speaker 4: So it just happened to be we were punk f
- 27:53Speaker 4: Gary Gray was punking the rock on the set of
- 27:58Speaker 4: Gary Gray Cool Too, I think it was actually, And
- 28:02Speaker 4: so basically we were gonna have his trailer blow up, really,
- 28:06Speaker 4: and that's what happened. One of our agents came and
- 28:10Speaker 4: told him not to leave anything plugged up because there
- 28:12Speaker 4: was some type.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Of electrical leak I don't even know.
- 28:15Speaker 4: Sometimes we would say stuff that if you look at
- 28:17Speaker 4: that didn't make any sense. And then he had a
- 28:21Speaker 4: lava that needed ironing, except you don't iron the lava lava,
- 28:25Speaker 4: as he said.
- 28:26Speaker 1: And then the long.
- 28:27Speaker 4: Story short, he left something plugged up, we blew up
- 28:32Speaker 4: a trailer.
- 28:33Speaker 1: I mean it was a magnificent blow up.
- 28:35Speaker 4: And then he came out and he everyone started pointing
- 28:39Speaker 4: fingers at him, and he was cool and calm, and
- 28:41Speaker 4: then he got to a point where our guy was
- 28:43Speaker 4: really good at like drilling. You said something like, well, yeah,
- 28:46Speaker 4: I told you not to.
- 28:47Speaker 1: He goes, wait a minute, what do you mean you
- 28:49Speaker 1: told me? You tell me?
- 28:50Speaker 4: And then it was like and then that was the
- 28:54Speaker 4: moment we had to go all right, And Gary Gray
- 28:56Speaker 4: jumped in and he was like, rock rock, rock, chill, chill, cho,
- 28:59Speaker 4: you've been ump. And the thing about that was actually
- 29:01Speaker 4: wasn't there. So I ran that bit with Jason Goldberg
- 29:05Speaker 4: and so.
- 29:06Speaker 2: That's a fine line of wall Yeah, yeah.
- 29:08Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think I ever told you, Like I
- 29:10Speaker 4: was one of the guns. Who was, you know, instructing
- 29:12Speaker 4: the actors on that.
- 29:13Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to do that to him.
- 29:15Speaker 4: Well, it was he And then I was the first
- 29:17Speaker 4: person from the crew who engaged with him after he
- 29:20Speaker 4: calmed down, and I was like, hey, because I met.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Him one time at a party at Nighttown.
- 29:26Speaker 4: I was like, hey, I just couldn't be here, blah blah,
- 29:28Speaker 4: and he looks at me and goes, I think he
- 29:29Speaker 4: remember he literally just start laughing, but he goes yeah,
- 29:33Speaker 4: And that was the idea of punk. You push somebody
- 29:35Speaker 4: to the point where they're like And when the dude said,
- 29:37Speaker 4: didn't I tell you? He had had enough of being
- 29:41Speaker 4: having fingers.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Cool yeah, man.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Even back then, Yeah cool, Yeah I heard that. It's

- 32:17Speaker 3: and so like that was my favorite quality about it.
- 32:21Speaker 3: And so like that helped me build my courage up
- 32:24Speaker 3: as a kid. And then so when he just pops up,
- 32:27Speaker 3: I immediately into that shod kid.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah.
- 32:31Speaker 3: And I remember I got a cheeseburger, He got a cheeseburger.
- 32:35Speaker 3: I got a root beer. He got a diet coke.
- 32:37Speaker 3: I thought that was weird. I was like, dig coke.
- 32:39Speaker 1: There's disgusting. And then it does he paid for his food.
- 32:43Speaker 3: Uh, and the lady brought back has changed, but he
- 32:46Speaker 3: left his chain. So I took his quarter and I
- 32:49Speaker 3: took it in my pocket as a little kid, took
- 32:51Speaker 3: it to my mom just put it in a sandwich bag.
- 32:54Speaker 3: Until this day it is in there safe at their
- 32:56Speaker 3: house in that sandwich bag.
- 32:57Speaker 2: What'd your pop say on the way home, like this
- 32:59Speaker 2: is like, man, you.
- 33:01Speaker 3: I lost you back there, And it was like, yeah, bro,
- 33:03Speaker 3: like give me a twenty.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Four hours in advance.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Let me give me your heads up.
- 33:07Speaker 3: Yeah, like, hey, on Wednesday, your whole life's gonna change.
- 33:11Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, when you meet your heroes, it's like it's
- 33:14Speaker 6: like one time when I was a kid, I loved
- 33:17Speaker 6: Robert de Niro and my brother and I liked Pacino too.
- 33:20Speaker 6: My brother was doing this play, him and his friend.
- 33:23Speaker 6: It was like off off Broadway, so it was like.
- 33:26Speaker 2: You know, way in the village.
- 33:27Speaker 6: It wasn't like it, but they said that DeNiro and
- 33:30Speaker 6: Pacino were coming one night. I think this was like
- 33:33Speaker 6: seventies and seventies, seven seventy eight. He did a movie
- 33:36Speaker 6: called New York, New York, and he wore like a
- 33:38Speaker 6: big blue Hawaiian shirt and these two tone shoes. So
- 33:43Speaker 6: I went out, I bought like this blue Hawaiian shirt,
- 33:46Speaker 6: like you know, and I had the shoes every day.
- 33:47Speaker 2: I said, can I come?
- 33:49Speaker 6: He goes, yeah, just be cool because my brother might
- 33:51Speaker 6: go on the stage and one night he might just
- 33:53Speaker 6: be an usher. So there were four seats roped off
- 33:57Speaker 6: and it's a little theater and I'm waiting Chino doesn't show.
- 34:01Speaker 6: Then de Niro comes in like in his heyday, like
- 34:04Speaker 6: before Raging Ball comes in with a fucking face beautiful
- 34:08Speaker 6: and I'm like, oh my god, I sat next to
- 34:10Speaker 6: the last seat roped off, and then he sat like
- 34:13Speaker 6: between the four seats.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Like two one open two.
- 34:16Speaker 6: And then so then he decides to move over right
- 34:19Speaker 6: next to me, and I got his Alpha on from
- 34:21Speaker 6: New York.
- 34:22Speaker 2: I'm sitting there trying to be cool. I'm like, fuck,
- 34:24Speaker 2: my brother told me not.
- 34:25Speaker 1: The same thing.
- 34:26Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, I can't.
- 34:28Speaker 6: I can't really like breathe or even look at him,
- 34:30Speaker 6: you know, just look fucking.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Great, smell, grade everything.
- 34:34Speaker 6: And then I says, excuse me, you got the time,
- 34:37Speaker 6: and he goes, it's about a fifteen, thanks, and so
- 34:43Speaker 6: so fucking like seven. I was probably about maybe about fifteen.
- 34:49Speaker 6: So anyway, he kept like doing these looks like the clothes.
- 34:52Speaker 6: I think he's probably thinking he looks like Jimmy Doyle,
- 34:54Speaker 6: like the character playing till my brother goes second.
- 34:58Speaker 2: Half move over. I want sit next to him because
- 35:01Speaker 2: my brother wound up getting like a little part in
- 35:03Speaker 2: Raging Bull.
- 35:04Speaker 6: And then I think the Niro asked him, I mean,
- 35:06Speaker 6: now they're friends, and I think he answered me, do
- 35:08Speaker 6: you know that you know.
- 35:09Speaker 2: That kid or some ship? And he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 35:12Speaker 2: I'm just bus he bother. He said, no, no, I'm curious.
- 35:15Speaker 1: He goes.
- 35:15Speaker 2: I think he was checking you out. But I was like,
- 35:19Speaker 2: I never wanted to let him know that I knew who.
- 35:22Speaker 6: He was, so I was able to fucking because there
- 35:24Speaker 6: are times where you know, you can't control yourself, like
- 35:27Speaker 6: in the street one time I was yelling somebody's name.
- 35:29Speaker 6: I lost it one time, and then I got back
- 35:31Speaker 6: to my brother and he was like, what do you do?
- 35:33Speaker 3: What do you do?
- 35:35Speaker 2: I said, I couldn't help, but I saw him from
- 35:37Speaker 2: a distance him. I just I fucking lost that. I
- 35:41Speaker 2: just cap't and I never do that. I never do that.
- 35:43Speaker 2: It was the Narro too, that was King of Comedy.
- 35:48Speaker 1: How much older is your brother?
- 35:50Speaker 6: Uh, he's five years old, but he's like he's like
- 35:54Speaker 6: almost ten.
- 35:55Speaker 2: Like he was like always way old.
- 35:57Speaker 6: So yeah, like he was always like he was and
- 36:00Speaker 6: I was so small, and they thought I wasn't gonna grow.
- 36:03Speaker 2: I thought I was gonna be like a.
- 36:04Speaker 4: You know, can I ask you, like, what do you
- 36:06Speaker 4: remember about the time around?
- 36:08Speaker 1: Do the right thing?
- 36:09Speaker 2: Oh? Do the right thing?
- 36:10Speaker 1: Yeah? What do you remember about like him?
- 36:12Speaker 6: Because I just know that he said, I'm doing this
- 36:16Speaker 6: movie with a with this guy, Spike Lee, And I said, oh,
- 36:20Speaker 6: is it.
- 36:20Speaker 2: I didn't know anything about Spike Oh, and he said,
- 36:22Speaker 2: he's a really interesting filmmaker.
- 36:24Speaker 6: Why don't you guys Me and my mother has come
- 36:26Speaker 6: down one day and we went to bed Star and.
- 36:30Speaker 2: I could tell him immediately.
- 36:31Speaker 6: I said, wow, this is there was just a fucking
- 36:34Speaker 6: vibe yah about.
- 36:36Speaker 1: You know.
- 36:36Speaker 6: I was just starting to get interested in the movies too,
- 36:39Speaker 6: cause I had taken theater and let it go and
- 36:41Speaker 6: I was a doorman.
- 36:42Speaker 2: I got sidetracked, but I I remember just being smitten by.
- 36:47Speaker 6: I seen him do for seeing with Danny at Yellow
- 36:49Speaker 6: and then he's having a fight with one of the
- 36:51Speaker 6: black guys in the street, you know, and I was
- 36:53Speaker 6: like wow, and these he brought Spike over and I
- 36:56Speaker 6: said that, my brother.
- 36:57Speaker 2: You know, could I I just you know, be an extra?
- 37:00Speaker 2: Sho goes goes like maybe I could have got you
- 37:02Speaker 2: a pause.
- 37:02Speaker 1: I was no.
- 37:03Speaker 2: I said, I just want to. I wanted to be
- 37:05Speaker 2: a part of it.
- 37:06Speaker 6: So I took off like a week from work to
- 37:08Speaker 6: be an extra. Every night that like fucking rained out,
- 37:10Speaker 6: rained out. Then the Friday night one night I had
- 37:14Speaker 6: to be like when the.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Burning the pizzeria. I was just a cop, but I
- 37:18Speaker 2: didn't know SPIKEE.
- 37:19Speaker 6: And I just you know, Spie is always looking at people,
- 37:21Speaker 6: you know, he was a good eye. But I was
- 37:23Speaker 6: supposed to go back, like on a Monday, and he
- 37:25Speaker 6: was like, where's your brother?
- 37:27Speaker 2: And then my.
- 37:27Speaker 6: Brother's like, well, I had to go back to work.
- 37:29Speaker 6: He was in a spipe that was checking him out.
- 37:31Speaker 6: But I just I loved being a part of it.
- 37:33Speaker 6: And then he called me out of the blue to
- 37:36Speaker 6: scream like you know, I didn't know it was gonna
- 37:38Speaker 6: be screaming racial epithets or whatever. In the movie A lot,
- 37:41Speaker 6: a lot of my stuff is in the movie A
- 37:43Speaker 6: Little Burned the Pizzeria, And that's how I got to
- 37:46Speaker 6: meet him. But I knew it was a special I mean,
- 37:49Speaker 6: a young Martin Lawrence. I didn't know any of these people,
- 37:52Speaker 6: and I was just like wow, I just wanted to
- 37:53Speaker 6: be a part of it. And that's that was my introduction,
- 37:56Speaker 6: and it led to me meeting him and then him
- 37:59Speaker 6: putting me in a fucking movie.
- 38:01Speaker 2: So like, that's going there changed.
- 38:03Speaker 6: If I didn't go there that day, you think about
- 38:05Speaker 6: those kind of things that change your life.
- 38:07Speaker 2: If I didn't go there that day. Maybe I don't
- 38:09Speaker 2: have a career, maybe I don't mean Spike.
- 38:11Speaker 6: Maybe I don't get inspired by somebody saying your dog,
- 38:15Speaker 6: you're raw.
- 38:16Speaker 2: But I fucking see something in you. And I always
- 38:19Speaker 2: knew it was like gonna be something in my life,
- 38:21Speaker 2: and it was. It just happened to be a Spike.
- 38:23Speaker 6: And he was a little intimidating for a little guy.
- 38:26Speaker 2: He walks around. You're like, this fucking dude, like when
- 38:30Speaker 2: he met him, I brought door. I mean, people have
- 38:33Speaker 2: that aura, you just fucking know. I mean, I worked

- 40:55Speaker 2: It's not based on the red side, right, No, it
- 40:57Speaker 2: should be.
- 40:58Speaker 1: It should be, but it would be pieces of garbage.
- 41:01Speaker 1: But uh, by the way, funck Boston, So idiots is me?
- 41:06Speaker 3: My buddy Dave Franco, Mason Thames, who's the He's a
- 41:10Speaker 3: kid that played a Hiccup and How to Train Your Dragon?

- 41:33Speaker 3: of my day is laughing, you know, because it's just
- 41:36Speaker 3: good for the spirit, you know.

- 41:45Speaker 3: Pretty much step by step, and I knew I wanted
- 41:47Speaker 3: to be known for the dramatic roles and then get
- 41:50Speaker 3: into comedy because I feel like if you start off
- 41:53Speaker 3: with comedy and then try to be serious, people don't
- 41:56Speaker 3: take you serious.
- 41:57Speaker 1: And it's much more.
- 41:59Speaker 3: It's a little shocking when they see somebody who they
- 42:01Speaker 3: usually take seriously.

- 42:22Speaker 3: bit more.
- 42:22Speaker 1: Eleven years, yeah, eleven years.
- 42:24Speaker 3: So like now I can I feel like I'm more
- 42:27Speaker 3: comfortable and doing whatever I want at the time.
- 42:29Speaker 1: You know, it's whatever.
- 42:30Speaker 3: Feels good, whatever, and as long as the story is good,
- 42:34Speaker 3: I'm there and did you oh yeah, the second time

- 43:18Speaker 3: out there.
- 43:19Speaker 1: It is.

- 43:23Speaker 3: part of.
- 43:23Speaker 1: And I wasn't a cocaine bear, so like that. That's
- 43:26Speaker 1: is saying something.
