1:30
Speaker 1: I was you live in Vegas now?
1:32
Speaker 4: Yeah?
1:33
Speaker 3: So I I just moved here about a year ago.
1:36
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, I mean I was in LA for
1:38
Speaker 3: a while. I mean we used to go to Unbreakable, right, Yeah, we.
1:40
Speaker 1: Used to work out together. Angrats on the sales I
1:42
Speaker 1: saw from your realtors relators instagrams me.
1:45
Speaker 4: He's all over it, He's all over that.
1:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's been it's been a long time, Like
1:50
Speaker 3: it was seventeen months to get sell that house.
1:53
Speaker 4: But that house was so amazing, so incredible. You were
1:55
Speaker 4: in Westlake Village.
1:58
Speaker 3: So I was in LA for a while and then
2:00
Speaker 3: that like right by Unbreakable where we used to work out,
2:03
Speaker 3: and I was like my house kept on getting like burglarized.
2:07
Speaker 4: Like some on a live show.
2:08
Speaker 3: So you know how they always tell you when you're
2:10
Speaker 3: on Instagram, don't don't put out like where you are.
2:14
Speaker 4: I wouldn't, but my live show Monday Night Raw.
2:16
Speaker 3: And Friday Night SmackDown, people know exactly where I am.
2:19
Speaker 1: And was your family at home like any of these
2:21
Speaker 1: things happened.
2:22
Speaker 4: That's that's exactly what happened.
2:23
Speaker 3: So my mother in law was home and literally we
2:28
Speaker 3: can see like the burglars trying to get in.
2:31
Speaker 4: But I have a dog that was a Doberman.
2:33
Speaker 3: She passed away unfortunately, but she like saved my mother
2:36
Speaker 3: in law's life, like basically because there was like five
2:39
Speaker 3: people about to break in, but my dog scared them
2:42
Speaker 3: all away. They hopped over the fence. I had a
2:43
Speaker 3: huge fence too, by the way, like it was like legit,
2:46
Speaker 3: like I had everything. So I was like, all right,
2:48
Speaker 3: I'm about to have kids. I got to get out
2:50
Speaker 3: of here. So I moved to Austin. Did not like Austin,
2:53
Speaker 3: didn't like the weather, didn't like the traffic. Airport is
2:55
Speaker 3: literally like not directs ever, so I need directs because
2:59
Speaker 3: we travel every week with WWE. So then I moved back,
3:02
Speaker 3: found Westlake Village, found a guard gated community, was loving
3:05
Speaker 3: it there. And then my wife and I were just like,
3:09
Speaker 3: why are we paying so much in taxes? Like what
3:11
Speaker 3: are we doing? Like why don't we just move to
3:13
Speaker 3: a like a tax free state. And so we looked
3:15
Speaker 3: at Vegas and found this house that we absolutely loved.
3:18
Speaker 3: We we just love the bones of it. So my wife,
3:21
Speaker 3: basically the amazing decorator that she is, literally remodeled the
3:25
Speaker 3: whole house, made it look incredible, and now we sold
3:28
Speaker 3: the house in Westlake Village.
3:30
Speaker 4: We are happy and healthy in Las Vegas and got
3:33
Speaker 4: to listen.
3:33
Speaker 3: To your beautiful voice Joe at the at the Allegiant
3:37
Speaker 3: Stadium wrestling.
3:38
Speaker 4: By the way, can I just say this, I knew
3:41
Speaker 4: you had a good voice.
3:42
Speaker 3: I've always known you guys have great voices, right, but
3:45
Speaker 3: the national anthem is a whole nother world.
3:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, we don't like doing it, nor do we
3:49
Speaker 1: really ever do it. Yeah, it's one of the tougher
3:51
Speaker 1: songs to sing. It's actually a song that we wrote.
3:53
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
3:56
Speaker 4: I wasn't done complimenting. Yeah, awe.
4:00
Speaker 3: I was in awe at like, how well you did
4:03
Speaker 3: the national anthem at Allegiant Stadium for WrestleMania. It was incredible, dude,
4:08
Speaker 3: you should be really, I mean I was.
4:09
Speaker 4: I was proud. I was like, yeah, that's what I'm
4:11
Speaker 4: talking about.
4:11
Speaker 2: Well, it's very patriotic.
4:13
Speaker 1: Little backstory there for you is that we like, as
4:17
Speaker 1: a band, we've always said we would never were like
4:19
Speaker 1: we've we've done it once because I was like looking up,
4:22
Speaker 1: I'm like, when's last one is this? We're singing at
4:24
Speaker 1: the National Anthem during the George W. Bush administration, and
4:28
Speaker 1: right as we start were singing it by the way
4:31
Speaker 1: to the to the self Lawn self Laan for an
4:33
Speaker 1: Easter egg role that they host every year, and you
4:37
Speaker 1: see like like like dun Dum, like Darth Vader, just
4:42
Speaker 1: George W. Bush come out of the shadows behind Kevin.
4:44
Speaker 1: As we start singing, it's crazy and it's so funny,
4:48
Speaker 1: and we sound, let's just say, not great, and these
4:52
Speaker 1: I don't know what, I don't know. We were obviously nervous,
4:55
Speaker 1: and I think from that day we were like, we're
4:56
Speaker 1: never going to do this. This is not saying to do.
4:58
Speaker 4: Is it harder as a band or as individuals to
5:01
Speaker 4: do it? Yeah?
5:02
Speaker 1: I think as a band it's tricky because you have to.
5:04
Speaker 1: Then you have the pressure of being like, all right, guys, now,
5:06
Speaker 1: let's harmonize.
5:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you have it and.
5:09
Speaker 1: Usually it's a cappella and you're fighting this reverb and
5:12
Speaker 1: as you I'm sure know, and you deal with this
5:14
Speaker 1: all the time, Like in a place in a stadium
5:16
Speaker 1: where WrestleMania WW often takes place when you're on a microphone.
5:21
Speaker 1: You're not have headphones, you're hearing your voice. Do you
5:22
Speaker 1: I'm tell me if I'm wrong?
5:24
Speaker 2: Would you?
5:24
Speaker 1: I said, okay, we call you the miss.
5:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm great. The miss is good, mister miss.
5:30
Speaker 1: When you're in a stadium like that, do you hear
5:32
Speaker 1: yourself led that like REVERBLEG slap back at you.
5:35
Speaker 3: So it's it's interesting because it's like, I guess I
5:39
Speaker 3: can talk to you guys about this because you actually
5:40
Speaker 3: know when you're in a theater, when you're in an arena,
5:43
Speaker 3: and you when you're in a stadium, it's completely different.
5:46
Speaker 1: Sound break it down for people at home. Break it down.
5:49
Speaker 3: So so I hosted the WWE Hall of Fame, which
5:52
Speaker 3: was in a theater. And in a theater, I can
5:55
Speaker 3: feel an audience because they're right, they're kind of right
5:56
Speaker 3: on top of you, right, they're like right there. There's
5:59
Speaker 3: maybe like a thousand people there, two thousand if you have,
6:02
Speaker 3: you know, a bigger theater, and you know you can
6:04
Speaker 3: feel the energy, you can hear the energy when you're
6:06
Speaker 3: in an arena. It's it's a whole nother thing because
6:09
Speaker 3: it's it's it's all the way you're playing to the
6:11
Speaker 3: last person in the last row, right, That's what our
6:14
Speaker 3: goal is. Because then when you're in a stadium, it
6:16
Speaker 3: bounces back, so you the crowd reaction. And that's what
6:20
Speaker 3: I'm always listening to whenever I'm in a like in
6:23
Speaker 3: a match, like, I'm listening to the audience to hear
6:26
Speaker 3: where they are. Okay, I need to do X, Y
6:28
Speaker 3: and Z to get them to where I need to
6:29
Speaker 3: be to either start this comeback, go for my finisher,
6:33
Speaker 3: do certain things. So I'm always thinking, always listening to
6:35
Speaker 3: an audience to get them where they need to be.
6:38
Speaker 3: And so for an arena, it's simple because that's where
6:41
Speaker 3: we've we've basically known and we know. But when we
6:44
Speaker 3: go to the stadium, it's a completely different element. You've
6:46
Speaker 3: got to actually wait like a beat for them, because
6:49
Speaker 3: usually it starts in the front and then it elevates
6:53
Speaker 3: to the back and by the time it gets to
6:54
Speaker 3: the back, that's twenty twenty seconds, thirty seconds, and so
6:59
Speaker 3: you kind of got to wait for it and hear
7:00
Speaker 3: it back. So when I was cutting a promo, it's
7:03
Speaker 3: like hello, you know, it's like you hear that kind
7:06
Speaker 3: of echo if you will.
7:07
Speaker 5: That happened to me when we were doing it an
7:09
Speaker 5: award show and I was on the mic and I
7:11
Speaker 5: literally my voice back and I.
7:14
Speaker 2: Started and it just like slowed down.
7:18
Speaker 5: My cor and Nick were like, and I'm like, I
7:22
Speaker 5: just started melting and then I started sweating.
7:24
Speaker 2: And then it was terrible.
7:25
Speaker 1: She had had a big fight about it.
7:26
Speaker 2: Joe got so mad at me. I'm like, I'm sorry.
7:29
Speaker 2: It was like I couldn't do anything about it.
7:31
Speaker 1: Again.
7:34
Speaker 2: It was like that over me, like messing up on
7:36
Speaker 2: live TV. Also, she's the one that's embarrassed.
7:39
Speaker 1: We should probably say this too, that the Mizz and
7:42
Speaker 1: me and Nick I believe we go way back. We
7:43
Speaker 1: used to train out a gym in l A called
7:45
Speaker 1: Unbreakable Yep, back in the golden days. My wife was
7:49
Speaker 1: there as well. It was above. It was a pink
7:51
Speaker 1: taco was the strangers. I went there with you once
7:54
Speaker 1: think tacos no more. I just closed down. It's like
7:57
Speaker 1: the pink, greasy tacos and and go up there and
8:00
Speaker 1: work out crazy.
8:02
Speaker 4: What's that place?
8:03
Speaker 1: Like?
8:03
Speaker 3: Literally it was like t O would walk in Sylvester
8:06
Speaker 3: Stallone like and it's in this hole in the wall gym.
8:09
Speaker 4: That is just like in the back of a pink taco.
8:12
Speaker 4: But it was amazing.
8:13
Speaker 3: Like the trainers, the trainers for second and none, Like
8:15
Speaker 3: I still talk to Matt Blank all the time.
8:17
Speaker 4: Yeah too about but he's in Hawaii.
8:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, I called him mister because I was trying to
8:21
Speaker 5: work out and he's like, I'm like, hey, are you
8:22
Speaker 5: in town in La?
8:23
Speaker 2: I have the morning He's like, I'm in.
8:25
Speaker 1: Hawaii, And I was like, oh, Timmons on his his
8:28
Speaker 1: near his near forty fitness journey at the moment again
8:31
Speaker 1: getting shredded. He's getting shredded.
8:33
Speaker 4: Good free, I'm forty five, now forty five.
8:37
Speaker 1: Tips? Give me. Actually, let's break it down. How often
8:41
Speaker 1: are we training? Miss? What do you watch show?
8:42
Speaker 4: I train at least three times a week. Uh.
8:45
Speaker 3: Usually it's like weight training three times a week, cardio
8:48
Speaker 3: like on let's do like three a three and then
8:54
Speaker 3: a twelve incline and for like thirty minutes on a
8:58
Speaker 3: treadmill on a treadmill. Yeah yeah, yeah, you know, it's
9:01
Speaker 3: it's really easy. But everything that's my that's like my cardio.
9:04
Speaker 3: But I do three times a week with weight training.
9:06
Speaker 3: But then you know what I did, I got my
9:08
Speaker 3: blood tested and that was a very big deal. Like
9:11
Speaker 3: you kids, Joe and Nick don't have to worry about this.
9:14
Speaker 3: Me and Kevin have to figure this stuff out because
9:16
Speaker 3: we get tired.
9:17
Speaker 1: Now.
9:17
Speaker 3: Like I've got two girls that are six and eight
9:20
Speaker 3: that are literally like, yeah, I mean it's it's a
9:25
Speaker 3: lot of work, right, So sure, I need energy, I
9:28
Speaker 3: need everything. So I got my blood tested and they
9:30
Speaker 3: were just like, look, you're you're you're low on vitamin D.
9:33
Speaker 3: You needed to get your your fish oils DHEA as
9:38
Speaker 3: well as a one a day. And since I've been
9:40
Speaker 3: doing that, like I feel great, Like I really do,
9:43
Speaker 3: Like I'm I wow.
9:44
Speaker 2: The supplement thing is awesome when you.
9:46
Speaker 3: Really and so you when you get your blood tested,
9:50
Speaker 3: you find out what you're deficient in and what you
9:52
Speaker 3: need basically for your body to activate at an optimal level.
9:56
Speaker 3: And so I've been working with a ways too well
9:59
Speaker 3: down in a done in Austin, and They've just been
10:02
Speaker 3: like literally picking up my energy. And I've been feeling great.
10:06
Speaker 3: And I'm forty five and I'm still traveling each and
10:08
Speaker 3: every week, still doing Friday Night SmackDown on the USA
10:11
Speaker 3: Network hosted American Gladiators, which is now on Prime I mean,
10:15
Speaker 3: it's literally a NonStop not to mention being trying to
10:17
Speaker 3: be the best husband, trying to be the best father.
10:19
Speaker 3: I think we all know what it's like to have
10:21
Speaker 3: like so many hands in different jobs and different things,
10:25
Speaker 3: but also wanting to be the best dad and best
10:27
Speaker 3: husband you could possibly be.
10:28
Speaker 5: So what do you think your biggest thing is being
10:32
Speaker 5: that busy like you are traveling, Like how you make
10:36
Speaker 5: yourself feel present when you're at home with the family
10:38
Speaker 5: and the girls.
10:38
Speaker 3: It's a lot of phone right, Like I feel like nowadays,
10:42
Speaker 3: like even I catch myself doing it and in my
10:44
Speaker 3: wife and I'll be like, God, I'm so sorry. I've
10:46
Speaker 3: just been on my phone trying. Everyone's texting me, Hey,
10:49
Speaker 3: what are you doing this? You need to get this done? Hey,
10:51
Speaker 3: can you got time for this? Do you have just
10:53
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh my god. But then I'm just
10:56
Speaker 3: realizing I'm like, set the phone down, Mike, get in
10:59
Speaker 3: the pool with your daughters, hang out with them. That's
11:01
Speaker 3: all they want to do is play with you, Go
11:03
Speaker 3: wrestle with him. Take them to jiu jitsu, which I started.
11:06
Speaker 3: I brought him to jiu jitsu because I saw, like
11:08
Speaker 3: on a podcast, like they were like, look, when your
11:11
Speaker 3: daughters get older, they need to defend themselves, and with
11:15
Speaker 3: jiu jitsu they'll be able to defend themselves if they
11:17
Speaker 3: have the right technique with a three hundred pound man.
11:20
Speaker 4: And I'm like, all right, I got to get him
11:21
Speaker 4: at jiu jitsu.
11:22
Speaker 3: So now when I take him to jiu jitsu, I
11:25
Speaker 3: bring him back home and we come Actually, like right there,
11:27
Speaker 3: there's a big like kind.
11:28
Speaker 1: Of cool I was wondering, like if you have a
11:31
Speaker 1: setup at home.
11:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a carpet area right there that literally
11:34
Speaker 3: we wrestle now. Oh, So I listened to what the
11:37
Speaker 3: teacher teaches them, and then we go home and I
11:40
Speaker 3: implement them on them and try to get them kind
11:43
Speaker 3: of locked in and knowing what exactly it is. It's
11:46
Speaker 3: a blast and they love it. They love wrestling, believe
11:49
Speaker 3: it or not shockingly like you know, but every time,
11:52
Speaker 3: every time I tell them, I'm like, all right, before
11:54
Speaker 3: we wrestle, you got to lock up. So I teach them,
11:56
Speaker 3: like the number one thing you learn in WWE, for
11:59
Speaker 3: if you're learning the artifessional wrestling, it's all how to
12:01
Speaker 3: lock up. So when you first start circling the ring,
12:04
Speaker 3: we lock up boom, So I teach them how to
12:06
Speaker 3: lock up, so they always have to lock up with me,
12:07
Speaker 3: and they always have to try to put me in
12:09
Speaker 3: a sleeperhole because they know how to do a sleeperhole.
12:11
Speaker 3: So if any boys are in the you know, kindergarten
12:15
Speaker 3: or second grade that mess with them, they don't wan
12:17
Speaker 3: to choke them out.
12:18
Speaker 1: That's sick.
12:19
Speaker 3: Are your girls in anything? Like do you guys have
12:21
Speaker 3: them in any sports or any type of stuff like that?
12:24
Speaker 3: Like are they into singing? Do they love what you
12:26
Speaker 3: guys do? Do they know what you guys do? Because
12:28
Speaker 3: my daughters could care less I'm w W rasslo or
12:32
Speaker 3: that that I'm a host of American gladiators.
12:34
Speaker 4: They don't care my daughters.
12:36
Speaker 1: She's four, she's getting into horseback riding the moment.
12:39
Speaker 4: WHOA are you nervous on that?
12:41
Speaker 1: No, the instructor is amazing and really patient and you know,
12:45
Speaker 1: has their hand on her the whole time. She's fearless.
12:48
Speaker 1: She just gets on and she's very fearless.
12:51
Speaker 4: I think you guys are probably more fearful than or
12:53
Speaker 4: maybe mom. I don't know.
12:55
Speaker 1: Adults know too much. We know too yes, yeah, but
12:57
Speaker 1: it's it's wild she's not really taken to combat sports yet.
13:02
Speaker 1: But I think what you're saying about jiu jitsu is great.
13:04
Speaker 1: So when I was training at Unbreakable back in the day,
13:06
Speaker 1: I was doing this TV show Kingdom, which was all
13:09
Speaker 1: about you know, MMA fighters and that whole world, and
13:12
Speaker 1: I got really into jiu jitsu at that time and
13:15
Speaker 1: found out to be a really helpful tool for a
13:17
Speaker 1: generally smaller guy to you know, have a shot verset
13:21
Speaker 1: kind of bigger opponents.
13:23
Speaker 4: Lock up.
13:24
Speaker 1: So hold on on that front, though, who's the who's
13:26
Speaker 1: the best lock up or like partner you've had in
13:31
Speaker 1: a fight, in a match.
13:32
Speaker 4: Oh like in wrestling.
13:33
Speaker 3: So I would say John Cena has taught me the
13:36
Speaker 3: most nice out of anyone in w W. E. When
13:40
Speaker 3: I first started in w W, nobody liked me because
13:42
Speaker 3: I was off the Real world, which was wildly popular,
13:45
Speaker 3: probably before you guys were almost act.
13:48
Speaker 5: I got to say it earlier, like, I was so
13:50
Speaker 5: impressed actually back in the day watching that show than
13:53
Speaker 5: the real world. But you always said I'm I'm gonna
13:56
Speaker 5: be I'm gonna be a wrestler, I'm a wrestler, I'm
13:58
Speaker 5: gonna be the myss like you were you had your character,
14:00
Speaker 5: you knew who you were, and you like manifested it,
14:02
Speaker 5: you made it become real.
14:03
Speaker 4: You did it.
14:04
Speaker 1: And I think that that's just the power of knowing
14:06
Speaker 1: like who you are as a person. Everyone and it's
14:08
Speaker 1: always like classic you just keep watching this happen, right,
14:11
Speaker 1: Like somebody will come from a different side of of
14:15
Speaker 1: of an industry or from a show or a musician
14:18
Speaker 1: and they'll step into another into the ring or somewhere
14:21
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be the first person they get shipped
14:24
Speaker 1: on and no one's gonna believe him. But obviously tales
14:26
Speaker 1: old at time. So you were saying John Cena, which
14:28
Speaker 1: I got to meet John for the first time as well.
14:31
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of legends that day wrestle
14:33
Speaker 1: Mania that it's just I just was stayed in one
14:35
Speaker 1: place and I'm meeting all these people a bit I
14:38
Speaker 1: did fair Girl, but I actually I'm meeting John was
14:43
Speaker 1: quite funny because I've never I'm pretty I think I
14:46
Speaker 1: really respect him, especially what he's he's done with his
14:49
Speaker 1: film career. Yes, and make a wish and make a wish,
14:53
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry you were saying you've learned a lot
14:56
Speaker 1: from him or he taught you a lot.
14:57
Speaker 3: So when like when we were talking about the real world, like, yeah,
15:00
Speaker 3: the Miz didn't come like it came from the real world,
15:03
Speaker 3: but like I didn't mean to do that, right, Like
15:06
Speaker 3: it was just uncomfortable being in New York City, seven
15:08
Speaker 3: strangers picked to live in a house to have a job.
15:10
Speaker 4: I was uncomfortable, And what do you do when you're uncomfortable?
15:13
Speaker 3: I drank and uh, basically like partied and just created
15:17
Speaker 3: a character called the Miz that would tell everyone exactly
15:20
Speaker 3: how they felt whenever they wanted to. And so everyone
15:23
Speaker 3: started liking that. And I've always wanted to be a wrestler,
15:26
Speaker 3: but I was never thought I was big enough. Like
15:28
Speaker 3: I'm six foot nothing, two hundred zero pounds. These guys
15:31
Speaker 3: were larger than life, Like if you look at American
15:33
Speaker 3: gladiators in WWE, these were my shows and they were
15:37
Speaker 3: larger than life. They were heroes. I never thought I could.
15:40
Speaker 1: Actually and some of these legends that are just massive dudes.
15:44
Speaker 3: When so when I tried out for the real world
15:46
Speaker 3: and made it, I was like, wait a second, you're
15:49
Speaker 3: telling me if I try out for something and I
15:52
Speaker 3: have a goal, I can actually do it.
15:53
Speaker 4: If I find the right tools for it.
15:55
Speaker 3: So I remember looking on Yahoo being like, all right,
15:59
Speaker 3: where do I find a wrestling school?
16:01
Speaker 4: Found one in La.
16:02
Speaker 3: Got acting classes, improv classes I started doing, I got
16:06
Speaker 3: a nutritionist, started working out. I was finding all the
16:09
Speaker 3: tools that I could possibly find to become a professional wrestler.
16:13
Speaker 3: But then when I got there, like three years later,
16:15
Speaker 3: you thought WWB like, oh my god, yes we want
16:18
Speaker 3: this guy.
16:18
Speaker 4: They didn't.
16:19
Speaker 3: Hollywood didn't want me because when you're on a reality
16:21
Speaker 3: show back then, you're in no talent hack like you
16:24
Speaker 3: were on television. You were living your life in front
16:26
Speaker 3: of a camera. That's all you're good for it. You're
16:29
Speaker 3: not good for anything else. But then it was crazy
16:32
Speaker 3: because I got on a show called Tough Enough, which
16:34
Speaker 3: is another reality show, but you could win a w contract.
16:36
Speaker 3: Didn't win the contract, but in press the execs so
16:39
Speaker 3: much that they gave me a developmental contract. Went through
16:41
Speaker 3: developmental system, got to WWE. Everybody hated me in the
16:45
Speaker 3: locker room. Nobody wanted me there, nobody wanted to teach me.
16:49
Speaker 3: John Ceno was one of the people that literally brought
16:52
Speaker 3: me in and always kind of gave me a nod, right,
16:56
Speaker 3: gave me that whenever I was in the ring, teach
16:59
Speaker 3: taught me how to become a main event superstar and
17:03
Speaker 3: that it's it's very difficult. There's a whole different level
17:05
Speaker 3: of people wrestling, and it's it's like bands, right, you
17:09
Speaker 3: have new up and coming bands that are trying to
17:12
Speaker 3: get out, and then you have you guys who are
17:13
Speaker 3: like literally stadiums, arenas wherever you guys want to go,
17:17
Speaker 3: sold out everywhere. You guys know how to perform in
17:20
Speaker 3: these main event caliber like people want to pay to
17:23
Speaker 3: see you. The reason they want to pay to see
17:24
Speaker 3: you is because you know how to conduct an entire
17:28
Speaker 3: like concert that literally people will pay for. That's exactly
17:32
Speaker 3: what a WWE main eventter does. And so John taught
17:36
Speaker 3: me how to do that. And then I became WWE
17:39
Speaker 3: champion beat him in the main event of WrestleMania.
17:42
Speaker 4: No big deal.
17:43
Speaker 3: No, But but then this year I got to be
17:47
Speaker 3: in the ring with him again. He retired this year,
17:48
Speaker 3: but I mean, unbelie I know, he came back as
17:52
Speaker 3: the host and to be in the ring with him again,
17:55
Speaker 3: that was great.
17:55
Speaker 1: I love seeing that.
17:56
Speaker 4: It was it was great, it was it was a.
17:58
Speaker 3: Fun moment and it was a very Johnson the Miz
18:01
Speaker 3: type of interaction as always, So he's always been a
18:05
Speaker 3: person that's been great to meet. Randy Orton was another
18:08
Speaker 3: one that taught me a lot who's still in the
18:09
Speaker 3: business and is literally one of the goats to this day.
18:13
Speaker 3: So it's always good to get in those guys in
18:16
Speaker 3: the ring, especially now now I'm in this element where
18:19
Speaker 3: I've been in WWE for like twenty years and I'm
18:22
Speaker 3: teaching the new up and coming people how to become
18:26
Speaker 3: what John Cena did. Do you guys do that for
18:28
Speaker 3: other bands? Sorry for taking over, but I'm here about
18:31
Speaker 3: you guys as well.
18:33
Speaker 1: I want to respond with the same kind of question.
18:35
Speaker 1: I mean, we meet a lot of young musicians that
18:37
Speaker 1: are always you know, asking us, hey, like give me
18:41
Speaker 1: some advice, and I kind of ask a question back, Mike,
18:45
Speaker 1: why do you want to do this? And if it's
18:47
Speaker 1: like oh, especially I find a lot of what social
18:51
Speaker 1: media can kind of like create, it's like, oh, because
18:54
Speaker 1: I want to be famous, I'm like, well, I don't
18:57
Speaker 1: know if this is for you then, because the fame
19:00
Speaker 1: side comes with a lot of can become with a
19:02
Speaker 1: lot of negativity and hate, and you got to have
19:05
Speaker 1: thick skin. If you could do it, because you wake
19:07
Speaker 1: up and it's all you think about and you go
19:09
Speaker 1: to it, it's all you think about. Then Like yes,
19:11
Speaker 1: like just write as much as you can. Writing's not
19:14
Speaker 1: your strong suit. Play play an instrument. Surround yourself with
19:17
Speaker 1: great people. So I would ask you the same question,
19:19
Speaker 1: like if somebody wants to get into wrestling or if
19:22
Speaker 1: you I'm sure you meet a lot of people, what's
19:23
Speaker 1: your advice for these young people? You said you twenty
19:25
Speaker 1: years congrats is incredible. We're also celebrating twenty years. Funny enough. Yeah,
19:29
Speaker 1: So for you, like if if somebody's trying to get
19:31
Speaker 1: into wrestling right now, professional wrestling, like, how would they
19:35
Speaker 1: even go about it in like this day and age.
19:38
Speaker 3: So the way, we have a performance center and they
19:40
Speaker 3: have tryouts all the time. It's called NXT Performance that
19:43
Speaker 3: are down in Orlando and we have tryouts all the time.
19:47
Speaker 3: You can find that out on WWE dot com. They
19:49
Speaker 3: always are are looking for the next WWE superstar. And
19:53
Speaker 3: that's a good way. But to piggyback off of what
19:55
Speaker 3: you're saying about fame, they want fame and fortune. If
19:59
Speaker 3: you don't have the love for what you're doing. You
20:02
Speaker 3: will not make it because you will not put the
20:03
Speaker 3: work that involves. Like, nobody sees us how much how
20:07
Speaker 3: much work it is to be a Jonas brother. Nobody
20:09
Speaker 3: sees the work that it is to be a WWE superstar.
20:12
Speaker 3: No one understands what we have to go through on
20:14
Speaker 3: a daily base. And granted, it's awesome the stuff we
20:17
Speaker 3: get to do it, it's amazing. The fans are incredible,
20:20
Speaker 3: But you don't see the insights and the work that
20:23
Speaker 3: it takes.
20:24
Speaker 4: This sacrifices on your body.
20:26
Speaker 2: Yet that alone, at energy level you're talking about is real.
20:30
Speaker 1: Oh dude, No, it doesn't seem that physical.
20:34
Speaker 2: I'm excited.
20:35
Speaker 1: I've been trying to convince these guys. Jo's hook.
20:36
Speaker 4: Now are you going to get involved?
20:38
Speaker 1: You should do something if you need my help in
20:41
Speaker 1: any way.
20:42
Speaker 4: I do have a problem with Dan Housen right now,
20:44
Speaker 4: who is basically cursing everyone.
20:46
Speaker 2: Did you ever give you?
20:46
Speaker 5: Okay, I have a segue here. I actually have a
20:49
Speaker 5: question about that from one of our listeners. These are
20:51

Speaker 4: Then Look he said, I curse you like he gives
21:17
Speaker 4: everyone a curse like you are cursed.
21:19
Speaker 1: No, the cursing thing, it's gotta go. Nobody wants a
21:21
Speaker 1: curse on them, especially do you take my kid's bike.
21:23
Speaker 1: I don't believe in curses.
21:25
Speaker 2: You're cooked here, we're here for you. If you need
21:27
Speaker 2: some back, thank you.
21:27
Speaker 3: I'm sure the man has the man who's broken into
21:30
Speaker 3: my house. He has stolen my daughter's bike. He a
21:33
Speaker 3: referee claimed that he got a cramp so he couldn't
21:36
Speaker 3: count to three, and I would have won the tag
21:38
Speaker 3: team titles with Kit Wilson. But because the referee said
21:42
Speaker 3: he was cursed and got a cramp in his arm,
21:44
Speaker 3: he couldn't count to three, he couldn't.

21:50
Speaker 3: applauding it during a match. By the way, mind you.
21:53
Speaker 3: These are the things that Dan Housen is doing to
21:54
Speaker 3: me that people are cheering for. Yeah, you guys gotta
21:58
