- 0:16Speaker 1: How are you today so far?
- 0:19Speaker 2: I'm having a great day.
- 0:20Speaker 3: I woke up a little sick, but I got to
- 0:23Speaker 3: go drink in a podcast in about.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Two hours, so I'm set.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Okay.
- 0:27Speaker 1: You are coming with the Permission to Party Tour coming

- 0:37Speaker 1: you are the entrepreneur. I swear, dude, it's like you
- 0:41Speaker 1: are everywhere. You know, you've got the two podcasts. You've
- 0:44Speaker 1: got the festivals.
- 0:45Speaker 2: You've got the cruise.
- 0:46Speaker 1: You've got the cooking show on YouTube. I mean, what
- 0:49Speaker 1: do you do on your free time? I mean, what
- 0:52Speaker 1: do you do when you have some free time?
- 0:55Speaker 2: I technically don't have free time.
- 0:57Speaker 3: In all honesty, when I do have free time, I
- 1:01Speaker 3: kind of lose my mind. I'm someone that likes to
- 1:03Speaker 3: be busy. I like to have a schedule that's packed,
- 1:07Speaker 3: so I don't have free time often, and I make
- 1:10Speaker 3: it that way.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Well, of course, also, you still have your Netflix series, which,
- 1:15Speaker 1: by the way, congratulations, picking up a second season. How's
- 1:17Speaker 1: that going so far?
- 1:18Speaker 3: Thank you. We just finished filming, and we're editing it
- 1:23Speaker 3: right now, and it should be coming out beginning of
- 1:25Speaker 3: the year.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Wow. Wow.
- 1:27Speaker 1: So what can people expect when they go to the
- 1:30Speaker 1: permission to party tour at the Hilliard center?
- 1:33Speaker 3: Well, this is, um, this is in my opinion, my
- 1:37Speaker 3: best hour. It's the one I've taken the longest with.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Normally it's, I do it. I do an hour and
- 1:42Speaker 3: then 18 months later, I'm doing another hour.
- 1:44Speaker 2: So I turn them over pretty quickly.
- 1:46Speaker 3: I think mostly because I've always written fast and this
- 1:49Speaker 3: hour took me the longest to write. And I think
- 1:52Speaker 3: it's because it's a little better and a little more
- 1:54Speaker 3: honest and And, yeah, I still have a year to shoot,
- 2:01Speaker 3: so I think it's going to be a monster. But
- 2:03Speaker 3: right now, it's at, like, the perfect place to be
- 2:06Speaker 3: touring because it's dialed in, it's solid, but there's still
- 2:10Speaker 3: enough room to play where it's loose and you can
- 2:13Speaker 3: see the.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Improv in it.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Wow.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Wow.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to it. I mean, like I said,
- 2:19Speaker 1: you've done so much recently. I was actually on your
- 2:22Speaker 1: Facebook page just right now looking at a bunch of stuff. Congratulations,
- 2:25Speaker 1: losing over 50 pounds just recently. How did you do that?
- 2:28Speaker 2: Yeah. Manjaro. I took the shot.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Well, I took it, too. Well, I was taking the Ozempic.
- 2:36Speaker 1: But then, that's another story. I'll get into that some
- 2:39Speaker 1: other time. Hey, and also, I saw recently you were
- 2:42Speaker 1: talking about, and since we're getting close to it, we're
- 2:45Speaker 1: only two weeks away. Tell me your thoughts about Halloween.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Oh, I... I love anything that's a celebration, but I
- 2:53Speaker 3: feel like it's become too commercialized.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Where too many people make money off of it.
- 2:57Speaker 3: And I think we should go back to where we
- 3:00Speaker 3: made our own costumes. They're the scariest costumes you can find.
- 3:05Speaker 3: And those Halloween stores that pop up in September that
- 3:10Speaker 3: are like mega stores, those are just landfills.
- 3:13Speaker 2: We've got to get rid of those. No one needs those.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Decorate your house organically make it look scary organically stop
- 3:20Speaker 3: cutting the grass in september lead bugs so i mean
- 3:24Speaker 3: like i think the scariest things are are real and
- 3:29Speaker 3: i think we need to go back to that google
- 3:31Speaker 3: uh halloween costumes from the 1800s and you will be terrified.
- 3:35Speaker 1: I saw you know when you mentioned that on facebook
- 3:38Speaker 1: i actually did go and they are horrifying it's crazy
- 3:41Speaker 1: oh my god It gets crazy. Well, then I got
- 3:44Speaker 1: to ask you about this. You know, the other day
- 3:46Speaker 1: I went to Lowe's, and I'm just, this is just,
- 3:50Speaker 1: it grinds my gears. I went to Lowe's because I
- 3:53Speaker 1: went there to go get some Halloween stuff. They already
- 3:56Speaker 1: have Christmas stuff out already.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Oh, that's sacrilege. You can't do that.
- 4:01Speaker 1: I mean, it's only October, and they're already talking about
- 4:03Speaker 1: going Christmas.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Look, can I tell you how great, now that you,
- 4:08Speaker 3: I just thought of this.
- 4:10Speaker 2: One of the scariest.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Halloween costumes in the world is painter overalls and a
- 4:17Speaker 3: hockey mask.
- 4:18Speaker 2: How creative was that?
- 4:21Speaker 1: Yeah, you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. Or when they
- 4:24Speaker 1: made the movie Halloween, they just took William Shatner's mask
- 4:28Speaker 1: and turned it inside out, and there you go.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:31Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:33Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 4:33Speaker 3: I mean, that's crazy. They should not be put. Listen,
- 4:37Speaker 3: I knew a girl one time who would start listening
- 4:40Speaker 3: to Christmas.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Music in August.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Yeah, see, the one thing that kind of bothers me here,
- 4:57Speaker 3: especially since I'm in South Texas, it's always like 90
- 5:00Speaker 3: degrees and you start playing Christmas music and it's still
- 5:03Speaker 3: like summer outside.
- 5:05Speaker 1: It just doesn't feel like Christmas.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Christmas.
- 5:07Speaker 2: You, you see what I, yeah, I grew up in Florida.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I know that feeling.
- 5:10Speaker 3: It's so different when you're like right now I'm in
- 5:13Speaker 3: New York and all the leaves are changing.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Right.
- 5:15Speaker 3: And you're like, Oh yeah, it's that time of year.
- 5:18Speaker 3: I can feel it. We were surfing on Christmas day.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Hey, also I noticed on, on one of your, uh,
- 5:27Speaker 1: your podcast, I was watching just earlier today, dream seed.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Tell me a little bit about that.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Oh, so I have, I have a hard time going
- 5:35Speaker 3: to sleep. I have to listen to podcasts, go to sleep,
- 5:37Speaker 3: but I don't want a podcast that engages me. Like
- 5:40Speaker 3: I want a podcast that kind of, kind of meanders.
- 5:44Speaker 2: And gets me to sleep.
- 5:45Speaker 3: So one of the guys in my office recorded one
- 5:47Speaker 3: for me to do.
- 5:48Speaker 2: On the road.
- 5:49Speaker 3: And I passed out and I had the best dreams
- 5:52Speaker 3: throughout the entire night. And the dreams were things he
- 5:55Speaker 3: said in the podcast, you know how that can happen
- 5:57Speaker 3: is if you hear things, you dream about them.
- 6:00Speaker 2: And so I said, dude, do six of them.
- 6:02Speaker 3: I'll put them on my podcast and, And hopefully people
- 6:04Speaker 3: like them and they're awesome.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Wow.
- 6:07Speaker 1: And so people can actually go and they can find
- 6:09Speaker 1: all these right now online on your website, right?
- 6:12Speaker 3: Find them on my website, find them on my RSS feed,
- 6:15Speaker 3: find them on YouTube and just go to sleep.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Just play it and go to sleep.
- 6:20Speaker 1: It's crazy. We're talking with the, the legend himself, Bert Kreischer,
- 6:24Speaker 1: who's a, I'm looking forward to seeing at the permission
- 6:26Speaker 1: to party tour happening, Selena auditorium in October 22nd, there's
- 6:29Speaker 1: still limited number of tickets available. So make sure you
- 6:32Speaker 1: get your tickets. I also, I know that you're a
- 6:35Speaker 1: big wrestling fan. I am a huge wrestling fan too.
- 6:39Speaker 1: And I remember you talking about on one of your
- 6:41Speaker 1: podcasts about talking about back in the day, you know,
- 6:44Speaker 1: the old school wrestling from back in the day, like
- 6:46Speaker 1: you were talking about Wahoo McDaniel and stuff like that.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And I was a big fan of world-class wrestling with
- 6:50Speaker 1: the Von Eriks and the Missing Link and General Skandar Akbar.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Okay.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Do you miss the smaller, like the old school wrestling,
- 6:59Speaker 1: the way it is compared to it now with the
- 7:01Speaker 1: fireworks in the stadiums instead of being more like in
- 7:05Speaker 1: the sportatorium in Dallas? I miss those type of shows.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I miss the energy of that Saturday morning,
- 7:16Speaker 3: Saturday night wrestling that I saw as a kid. But
- 7:18Speaker 3: I got to tell you, it's like, I've been to
- 7:21Speaker 3: a bunch of WWE events, and the pyrotechnics and everything
- 7:26Speaker 3: really add to it.
- 7:27Speaker 2: It's just like.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Old school punk music versus punk music now.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Things change, and.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Nothing's ever going to be as good as you remember.
- 7:40Speaker 3: But Kerry Von Erich was a hero. He was a hero.
- 7:46Speaker 3: When he came out.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I would get so jazzed. as a kid, I mean, same.
- 7:52Speaker 3: With Hulk though, you know, like I remember, you know,
- 7:54Speaker 3: I lived, I lived through all the heyday of all
- 7:56Speaker 3: of that, but there was nothing better than going and
- 7:59Speaker 3: seeing it live in like the, the Tampa armory and
- 8:03Speaker 3: seeing dusty roads and why McDaniels, you know, like those were,
- 8:07Speaker 3: I mean, I feel lucky in that I got to
- 8:10Speaker 3: see those original punk bands doing it.
- 8:13Speaker 2: And by the way, I grew up with half of them.
- 8:15Speaker 3: And by the way, shout out to Cody Rhodes, whose
- 8:19Speaker 3: movie premieres this weekend, Street Fighter. Oh, yeah.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing that, man. It's crazy.
- 8:24Speaker 3: It's crazy.
- 8:25Speaker 1: You know, it's how now also, you know, there's Cody,
- 8:29Speaker 1: there's Roman. There's The Rock, of course, John Cena wrestling
- 8:34Speaker 1: going into acting. And it looks like it's almost like
- 8:36Speaker 1: a smooth transition to them because it's so cool. And
- 8:40Speaker 1: the same thing goes with you because I saw online
- 8:42Speaker 1: that you even did a dark match at one point,
- 8:45Speaker 1: a wrestling match. So are you going to be maybe
- 8:48Speaker 1: getting back in the ring sometime soon?
- 8:51Speaker 3: Oh, the second it happened, I told my wife, I
- 8:54Speaker 3: was like, I think I found out what I want
- 8:55Speaker 3: to do. And she was like, absolutely not.
- 8:58Speaker 2: You're never to do that ever again. It was so fun.
