  Speaker 2: You? Right now, I'm at home doing laundry.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Mondays are usually like my gather myself day because like
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the weekends are so crazy with bookings and traveling.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: So Mondays are my chill day usually.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, I'm doing a little bit of that as well.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I had a busy weekend. So, I mean, walk us
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: through what was your weekend like? Where were you at
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: this weekend?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: So this weekend was pretty crazy. Friday, I was going
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: to be at NWA Crossfire, but then the ring broke.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: So that show got canceled.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: What broke on the ring?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I was like, I live about like
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: four and a half hours away.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: So I was halfway there. I was more than halfway there. Yeah,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I had an hour and a half left in my drive.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: And Kenzie Page texted me. She's like, hey, girl, turn around.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: The ring broke.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: She just said it broke in half.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: How does a ring break in half?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I have no idea.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: So I had a free day Friday. I literally turned around,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: ate dinner, and went right to bed. And then Saturday,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I was in a local North Carolina small indie. It's
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: called Squared Circle Champions. I wrestled Nikki wild there.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: And then Sunday I did a Russell for show in
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: South Carolina. It was like a benefit show for a
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: little community over there to build a new community center
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: for them.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And it was very fun. I wrestled Savannah Evans over there.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So how did the matches go?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I wrestled Nikki Wilde. That one went fine.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: She's fairly new, but I've known her for a while,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: so it was very fun to get in.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: There with her.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And then I love Savannah Evans. She's been someone that
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I've looked up to forever since I started. She's one
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: of the patriarchs here in the Carolinas for women's wrestling,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: so it's always fun to work her.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Did you grow up in North Carolina?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I was born in Boston, but my parents are from Brazil.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: So when my mom got done having kids, she was like,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: it's way too cold over here.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: So we moved to North Carolina.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: How many kids are there?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: It's me. I have an older brother and a younger brother.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So there's three of us.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're the middle one.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'm the middle, yeah.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Are you the statistically crazy one, as they say? Wild one,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I guess, is better than crazy.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I would say so, yeah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: But also, I don't know how much of it is
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: just being a middle child and how much of it
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: is being the only girl.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: That was the next question. How was that situation? Considering,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you know, you're still older and probably bigger. Well, you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: were bigger when he was growing up, but you're a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: younger brother.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And then you're, you know, you got the older brother, so.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: It was, um, they're the reason why I got into
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: wrestling in the first place. Um, so it was kind
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: of good, kind of bad, you know, I kind of had.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: To fist fight.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: So it was, you know, it was fun, you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: now that we're older, you know, and they've calmed down,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: they're a lot more fun to be around now that
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not getting attacked, but yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, that, that goes great into, uh, the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: next question. What is your earliest memory of pro wrestling?
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Um, I honestly don't remember. I just, I don't remember
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a time where pro wrestling wasn't in my life. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: remember my earliest memory. I would say my little, this
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: sounds really bad, but there's two boys.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: So my little brother, I want to say he was like,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: he was probably like three or four.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So I was like five or six.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: My mom told us to like clean up our toys and,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: And he said, no, I don't want to do that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: And he was jumping on the couch. Then he fell
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: and he busted his head open. So then he had
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to go to the doctor. And so my older brother
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: and I had to go to the neighbor's house.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: So that she could babysit us. And then Monday Night
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Raw was on the TV. And I just remember seeing
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Randy Orton. And I was like, oh, this is cool.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And then I don't remember a time where it wasn't
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: on the TV.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So that's fair.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: That's my earliest memory, though.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: What was your first live event then?
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't go to my first live event until I
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: was like 16 and I saved up to buy my
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: own ticket because my parents couldn't afford it. So I
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: had it on my bucket list to go. So when
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I got a job, it was close to my birthday.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, let me get myself a birthday present.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: And I went, I think it was night of champions.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So it was a pay-per-view first. Awesome. And now, yeah,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I went all out.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why I was curious because you, you grew
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: up in North Carolina and obviously you, The long history
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of wrestling in North Carolina area is very well known. However, obviously, like,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I guess with WCW becoming Turner, that kind of almost
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: went away. So I saw a documentary about this building
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina. I forget it. I know if somebody
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: would say that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Is it the Dorton Arena?
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: So it's like an hour long documentary I saw on
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: YouTube and the building is beautiful.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Have you, have you been in it?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I've gotten to wrestle there. Oh yeah. It was like
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: my second year wrestling and I wrestled. It was me.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: It was crazy.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: It was me and Angelina Love versus Camille Brickhouse.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And I forget who the other girl is.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I think it was Caitlin DeLexis, but it was just
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: very surreal for only being two years in, you know?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Did you know the history of that building whenever it happened?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I remember, um, I knew about it cause yeah.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: For those that don't know, give the, give the history
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: So it's like, they say like it's the arena that
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: like giants walked through. So like everybody, the who's who
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: and wrestling wrestled there. CW Anderson wrestled there. A lot
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: of like older legends wrestled there. And then I remember
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the show before that show, um, um Rachel Ellering was
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: telling me like oh it's so cool that you guys
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: are getting to wrestle there I'm so jealous I'm so
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: jealous and I was like oh yeah it is really
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: cool and then just like walking I remember just walking
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: through the halls and like just picturing like just all
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: these like phenomenal people walking.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Through it was just very surreal very surreal.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah again if people get have a chance look this
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: documentary up it's great again it's only an hour long
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and you know It's easy to get through. And again,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: there's so much history. I imagine it's going to be
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: much longer.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Is that place close to you or no?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Close.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: It's in Raleigh, and I grew up in Charlotte, so
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: it's like about two-ish hours. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Well, so what was the wrestling scene like when you
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: were growing up? Because, I mean, obviously, WWE would come
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: through there on a somewhat regular basis, and then WCW
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: was gone by the time you were there, and they
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: weren't really running that area that much as it was
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: what was that what was the scene like for you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: when you were growing.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Up um it was there was a lot of like
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: local indies that would run like here and there i
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: remember there was a local show that would run every
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: thursday and i had a babysitter that would take me
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: there every thursday.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: To watch and my mom was so mad about.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: It but it was it's hardy boy country over here
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: so like they would.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Any indie show that could.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Afford them they would bring them in and everybody in
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: north carolina would go see so very uh shannon moore
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: too shane helms all those guys if they could get
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: on the show then they would be on and it
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: would be a big spectacle for everybody.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah all the old omega guys.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly yeah.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Well then what was your what was the thing for
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you that you were like okay i need to i
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: need to do this i need to be actually in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the ring as opposed to just being in the crowd?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: So I've always... I don't know.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I've just always been drawn to it. And the two
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: people that made me really, like, mesmerized with wrestling is
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Shawn Michaels and Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy, obviously, because he's
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: just the coolest guy ever. And then Shawn Michaels is just, like,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: one of the greatest of all time. And I grew
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: up doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu and competing in jiu-jitsu.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And then I remember... I was.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: About, like, 17 years old, and I was about to
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: graduate high school, and then I had to decide, like,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: do I want to go to college or do I
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: want to keep doing jiu-jitsu? And my jiu-jitsu coach was like,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: we can send you, like, overseas so you can go
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: train over there, compete over there.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Whoa. And in my head, I was, like, torn between, like,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: jiu-jitsu and wrestling. And I.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: The way I knew wrestling was for me was because
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: we had training Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, like every day.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: And it would be Monday, and I would look at
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the clock at the gym, and it's 8 o'clock, and.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, Monday Night Raw is on right now,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and I'm over here not watching.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: But then if I'm sick or if I had to
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: miss training and I was watching wrestling, I wasn't thinking
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: about jiu-jitsu.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: So I was like, let me try wrestling. Jiu-jitsu will always.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Be here, so.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, you could do Jiu-Jitsu at any age, too.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, wrestling. You can wrestle at any age, but,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: It's better to start off when your bones are still,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: you know, young and not hurting.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Well, how did you find the place you trained at?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Um, my friend actually sent it to me.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: He was like, cause I, uh, being trained by someone
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: who's been somewhere and who is somebody who's very important. Um,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: and my friend just saw like an ad and he
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: was like, Hey, Dr. Tom Pritchard has a wrestling school.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: And I was like, Oh hell yeah. And so I
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: showed my mom and it was in Knoxville, Tennessee, which
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: is like four and a half ish hours from where
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I lived. And when I was 15 years old and
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I got my first job, I would put 25% of
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: every paycheck into a savings account because I knew, I
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: always knew that like I wanted to wrestle. And my
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: mom was a single mom raising three kids by herself.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: So like she, I had to kind of, you know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: help her out with stuff. So I was like, let
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: me have a little savings so that like I can
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: put myself in a good position when I graduate.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: And so I showed my mom, like, my savings account,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and I was like, look at this school.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Here's how much it is. Here's how much, like, travel
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: and lodge. Like, can I try it? And it didn't
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: take a lot of convincing. Surprisingly, my mom is the
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: greatest ever. She just wanted me to be happy, and
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: she didn't want me to live with any regret. So
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: she was like, you can go try it, and if
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: you don't like it, you can just come home. And
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: then I ended up falling in love with it, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: here we are five years later.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: So.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: What was it like training under Dr. Tom? Cause there are,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: cause you know, there's the Pritchard brothers, but one was
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the creative one. One was the better one in the ring, obviously. So,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and then, you know, right. Everybody goes to Dr. Tom now.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So what was that situation like for you when you
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: trained with him?
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: It was very intimidating because I knew who he was.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I'm very, like, when I was a kid, I.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Didn't have a lot of friends. So all I would
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: do is go home from school and just watch wrestling, like,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: from any age.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: So I knew exactly who he was. I knew everything
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: he did with Chris Candido. I was a big, like,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: it was very scary for me to walk through there
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: and see him.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: But he was very, he was so....
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Which is like, I don't know if people understand how
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: nice he is. As long as you work hard. If
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: he sees you slacking, then he gets scary. But it
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: was really hard. It was like four hours, five days
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: a week. And he had an old WWE ring. So
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: that ring sucks to bump in. It hurt like hell.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I always heard that ring was not the best.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. And he didn't have like air conditioning
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: or heat.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: And it's Knoxville. Yes. So I would, like, literally.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Because I went for the winter class.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: It was October, November, December. So it was freezing.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: And I remember, like, I would walk in, like, just
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: bundled up. Because, like, I'm from Boston, but I got
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Brazilian blood.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: So, like, I get cold. So I was.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: bundled up like just walking in the class and hoping
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: that like I'd warm up like as we you know
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: exercise and I was still like bumping around like just
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: in my hoodie just dying and it hurts so much
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: more to bump when you're cold so it was the
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: greatest experience ever and I wish that I could like
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: still go train with him every day because he's just like,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I bother him all the time and message him every
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: single day for absolutely no reason, just because of how.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Smart he is.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Like just everything that he's done, everybody that he's trained,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: everything that he's seen, like he's just the greatest mind
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I think in wrestling.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: What do you think you learned the most from him
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: over these years?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Um, How to handle people, I would say.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Because he's had to handle a lot of interesting people.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: He's had to be around a lot of egos. So
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: he knows how to deal with people.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And that's one thing that I learned very well from him.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Because there's a lot of people in wrestling that can
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: kind of rub you wrong. So he definitely helped me.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: on myself before i went out to the real world
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: because i uh being the middle child being brazilian i
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: kind of got a mouth so he helped me contain
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: myself before i went out.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: There you're just passionate that's what it is.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Right exactly right yes yes.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I've definitely uh been around many brazilian women i understand
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: how that works yeah well so the internet also says
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: you were trained by beer city bruiser is that true.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah. That's who I train with right now. So
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: when I got done with my course, yeah. Dr.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Tom was three months long when I got done over there,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I moved back home. And then AML wrestling runs in
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: North Carolina and they have a training school.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: And beer city bruiser and Josh Gary are the trainers.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: So that's where I'm at now. Whenever I can't make
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: it out to docs. Yeah.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: No, I've had the beer city brewery on this show.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: He's fantastic. And yeah, I could have talked to him
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: for hours. So I, yeah. He's so great. What do
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you think you've learned the most from.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Him?
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: From him?
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: So I learned all my fundamentals and my basics from
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Doc and Bruiser really like didn't touch any of that
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: because Doc is the greatest trainer of all time.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: So like there was no need to touch it. But
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I think that I really learned my, I found my
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: voice with Beer City Bruiser.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: He really helped my confidence grow because surprisingly, I was
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: a very shy girl when.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I first started.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: So he really helped me just express myself unapologetically, I
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: would say.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I love that. He's got great Harley Ray stories as well.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I love his Harley race stories.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I love his Harley race story.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: What is your favorite Harley race story that he tells?
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Um, just hearing like, if I complain about something in
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: training or if I complain about something like in a
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: match that I had to him and then he's like,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: I had the same thing happen to me and this
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: is what Harley would tell me. And just hearing Harley's advice,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I'm like, that's so funny because it's like the most
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: off the wall advice that you wouldn't think like, but
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: it's also like common sense advice at the same time.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: But like, it's so like the way he says it
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: is so aggressive.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: That I'm like, I don't know if I can like
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: do that actually. And then the more I think about it,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I'm like, well, if I just deliver it a different way,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: it would, you know, be great.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Obviously.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Harley had his way of delivering things and it wasn't
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: probably the kindest or the nicest way.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Well, so, I mean, you talked about how he, how
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Bruiser really helped you with your voice and finding out
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: who you are. But, you know, after watching some of
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: your matches, like you are very good when it comes
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to being a heel, being very vocal with crowd, even
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: like stocking matches to be like, get this person out
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: of here and things like that. Who have you kind
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: of like, looked at wrestler-wise that you were like, okay,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I like how they do that, or I'm going to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: maybe take that and borrow that as well?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Honestly, I took little bits of, like, everybody and kind
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: of just put it into one, and then.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: A lot of what I learned is.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Just, like, life experience, I would say, because in jiu-jitsu,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I was... When I was competing in jiu-jitsu, there wasn't
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of girls. So I would have to wrestle
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys. Or the girls that I did
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: compete against were mean as hell and just rude.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: So a lot of what I.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Do in the ring, I just channel what I wish
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I could have.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Done in that situation.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: And then I, obviously it's a lot of like CM Punk,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Randy Orton, slowing down and like my pacing with matches
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: is something that I've learned over time.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Just like.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: From experience, because in my head, like, I know people's
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: attention spans is so, like, short now, and they want, like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: But I just like to challenge myself and see, like,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: if I can, like.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: If the beginning of the match is fast-paced, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: how slow can I make.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: It and still keep people's attention?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Love that.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: It's kind of how I looked at it.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Also, like, if I'm wrestling 12 minutes, I'm not going
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: to be sprinting for the whole 12 minutes.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: You know, like, I need the time to catch my breath. Yeah.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Do you still practice jujitsu?
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry, you cut out.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, sorry.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I think my, yeah. Do you still practice jujitsu?
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: So my older brother just got back into it. And I,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: if I train jujitsu consistently, then like.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I want to start competing.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: And then if I start competing, then I'll start shooting.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: In my real matches. So I need to like, kind
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: of keep it separate.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: So I do.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: If I like can make it to like an open mat,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: I will. I still text my coach every day. So
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I'm still like, I still know what's happening around it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: But I just got to keep myself separate from sake.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: What do you think of the growth of jujitsu at
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: this point? Because obviously we're seeing so much, you know,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it got the huge jump during, you know, UFC when
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: people didn't know what the hell BJJ was. And then,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: you know, people seeing it far more and more in
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the UFC. And then now obviously we're getting way more,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: attention to it by itself, which I think is fantastic
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: because like, yeah, MMA kind of helped everyone be like.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, cool.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, karate, all this other stuff. And then
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: now luckily we're at a point now where we can
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: have so many different streaming situations that we can actually showcase,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: like act like freestyle wrestling or Jiu Jitsu or like
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: karate comp or like, you know, even bare knuckles happening.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: So like, we've kind of also broken it apart now
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to where we can focus on all these different things,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: which I think is great because you're not going to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: always get, you know, some of these fantastic people that
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: are in jujitsu, they're not going to want to do
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: MMA or people that, you know, tried MMA and be like, eh,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: it's not my, not my thing. It worked for a
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: little while, but I'm better at jujitsu or just wrestling
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: or whatever it is. So like, I love that we're
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: getting far more spotlight on the individual aspects that do
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: make up MMA, but jujitsu is, People are starting to
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: become way more smart with it, luckily, because before people
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: just start booing whenever they went to the ground. I'm like,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: you don't understand what's going on down there. And you
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: just because they're not standing and banging like you can't
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: have that all the time. Like you said, if they
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: got 12 minutes, they're not sprinting the whole 12 minutes.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Exactly. So what do you kind of think of what's
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: been happening with the growth of jujitsu on its own?
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Honestly, me personally, I think that jujitsu is the best
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: defensive martial art for women. I think that every woman
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: should practice jujitsu just because you don't want to ever
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: like be that close to somebody who's trying to attack you.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: But as a woman, if a man.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Who's 200 pounds heavier than you is mounted on you,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: you need to be able to get out. So I
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: think that for women, it's very beneficial because now like
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: a lot of these girls are like, oh, I can
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: do that. And like, I can be confident now to
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: like go for a walk by myself or, you know.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: But I also think it's really cool seeing like, Like
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: the Meow Brothers, the twin brothers, Mikey Mosumechi and all
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: of them. Like when I was competing, like seeing them
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: kind of grow and now they have like a hundred
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: thousand followers on Instagram.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh my God, that's why. Yeah. Like
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: now they're making a living from jujitsu.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Whereas when I was a kid, like they were kind
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: of like, you know, grinding and scrapping and really struggling
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: to get out there.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: And now they can pay their bills while still doing
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: what they love, you know? So it's very, very cool.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Seeing them grind and seeing them now like I can
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: like literally turn on UFC fight pass and.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Like Mikey Mosemich will be on the TV right.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Like holding like a UFC jiu-jitsu belt I'm like what
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: is happening like it's so crazy.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You're like oh that kid that was there that went
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: right yeah well I mean so you wrestled uh Shanna
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Baszler recently how much when you guys were talking about
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the match ahead of time that you guys kind of
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: bringing up, you know, you're both your jujitsu backgrounds.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: So it was that whole thing. Like I, I was,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: I rewatched that match today.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Cause I still can't, I was literally watching it right
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: before we started.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: She's like, I watched her when she was in Invicta FC.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Like I watched her when she was on the ultimate fighter,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: when she was on UFC, like I grew up idolizing
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: her because she was one of the few girls that
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: was in martial arts and like, just beating ass. And
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: so I made a goals list in December of last year.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: And I didn't tell anybody my goals because I don't,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I just like to keep it to myself because if
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: I fail, I don't want to tell nobody.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, exactly. Because they'll be like, hey, what happened to
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the rest of this list?
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: But on that list, it said Russell Shayna Baszler. And
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: I want to say like in mid January, Tracy messaged
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: me and he was like, you'll never guess who I
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: got booked.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: And I thought it was like.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Someone that recently got released or like someone, you know,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: and he was like, he just sent me a picture.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Of Shayna Baszler. He didn't even like type it out.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And I started freaking out and I texted my mom immediately.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I was like, guess what?
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: So it was very surreal for me.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: It still is.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: And then when she got there, the first thing we
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: started talking about was Invicta and UFC and jujitsu and everything.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: And just being able to like, her like transition from
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: MMA to pro wrestling and how like she incorporates her
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: chain wrestling in with girls who like don't really know
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: how to chain wrestle because there's a big difference between
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: like chain wrestling and like flow rolling in jujitsu like
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: there's a lot more like transitions and stuff where like
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: in chain wrestling and pro wrestling people think it's like
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: headlock wrist lock back to the headlock, back to the
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: wrist lock.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's not what that is.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: So it was fun to get in there with somebody
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: that could like, you know, just flow.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: And like, she was just very, very, very giving.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And I like, she's to this day, the greatest
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: person I've ever wrestled.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: She's, I mean, she's a dream guest for me. Cause
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: she is.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Like you said, the MMA background, her being in pro wrestling,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: she was a giant nerd on the other side of it.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I think she's a Warhammer fan, which I have multiple
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: friends that are into Warhammer. And so I'm like, yes,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: there's multiple things I could easily talk to her about.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah. She was so amazing. Like I could not stop
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: talking about her. Like to my, I told my mom,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I said, mom, I just want to.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Keep her with me forever and ever. I didn't want
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: her to leave.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: What did, what was the conversation like after the match?
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Um, I was very, so what's crazy is that like,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: she was so nice, like super easy to like, talk
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: through the match was super easy the whole day. And
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: then right before we're about to walk out, she comes
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: up to me and she's like, don't fuck up.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, Oh my God. Okay. And then she's like,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I'm just fucking with you. We're going to have fun.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: And then we went out there and we had, I
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: want to say we had like 12 minutes and we
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: went like 11 minutes, 50 seconds, like without hearing any
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: time cues or anything.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Like we just did it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: And then I told her the time when we walked
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: back through the curtain and she was like, I knew
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I still got my TV time. Um, but she was very,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: very kind, um, She said she loved the match. I
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: hope she wasn't lying to me because that'll really hurt
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: my feelings.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: But she was just the greatest person.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: I hope everybody, man and woman, gets to work her
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: one day because she was just so amazing.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Like, I can't get over how amazing she was.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to see her wrestle more men. Like,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: as much as, like, people are still kind of weird
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: about intergender, like, wrestling. Like, Shayna Baszler's Can whoop any
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: dude's ass.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Like put her in there with Braun Strowman and she
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: would still fucking tear that dude apart.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Right. And I think that like people, people don't understand
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: that unless like they trained in some kind of martial art.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right, right.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Especially jiu-jitsu, because, like, if you go to a jiu-jitsu competition,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: like IBJJF, if you win your division, you can go to, like,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: the open weight division. And you can see, like, my
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: jiu-jitsu coach is, like, 135 pounds, and he would, like,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: go to the open weight, and he would.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Have to compete against a super heavyweight.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And he could outpoint the heavyweight. He could get
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: a sneak choke in. Like, it's not— size doesn't always matter.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of shana for sure could have whooped
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: anybody man or woman in that locker room yeah probably
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: any locker room she walks in honestly.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Facts yeah i think the same thing yeah but i
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: mean yeah the size doesn't matter look at demetrius johnson
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: like he is literally like i don't know why most
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: people don't put him in the goat category but he
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: is and he's so smart when it comes to mma
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: too and like Yeah, jiu-jitsu-wise, I think he was like
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: a strong man he was competing against, like a dude
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: literally like two to three times his size. And yeah,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: he had no issue. Yeah.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Crazy.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Well, so who are some veterans that really kind of,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we talked about Tom Pritchard, we talked
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: about Bruiser Brody, the match you just had with Shayna Baszler,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: but who are some other kind of veterans that you
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: kind of, you know, will bend their ear or have
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: given you some really good advice over the years?
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Did I cut out again?
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Yes. I got the first half of it.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Well, so who are some veterans that have kind of
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: really helped you out along the way?
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Honestly, the Dawson brothers here in North Carolina. Okay. I
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: think that they are criminally underrated.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: They have helped me so much when I got my
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: main roster spot at AML. In my opinion, I think
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Zane Dawson is one of the greatest heels of all time,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: like anywhere. The heat that he gets is like, scary
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: sometimes and he really he's a he's not a bad
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: guy anymore so I'm kind of getting in trouble with
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of the stuff that I'm doing because he
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: isn't here to like do his stuff that he gets
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: in trouble for but he really like just pulls me
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: to the side at.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Every show and then he's like.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Don't let people get mad at you about this do
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: this do this this ignore this if they tell you
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: this do this instead and like, he's just, he's helped
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: me so much in everything. And then white Mike also
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: has helped me a lot, whether he knows it or not,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: but he, he's just very creative and, And he's a
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: girl dad, so he understands the girlies very well.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: So he talks to the girls.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Very kindly in a way that we can understand it
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: and relate to it. And then Brian Hawks and Tracy Myers, honestly,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: this year, they've always been good to me, but this.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Year they've just been.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: blessing me with some amazing opportunities and just hearing them
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: like on the business side and like the booking side
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: of things I learned a lot from them too which
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: makes it easier for me to go out and work
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: for other promotions because then I understand like the office
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: side of things as well as like the wrestling side
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: of things yeah yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: There's definitely that that aspect of like yes they want
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: you on the show but then also you have to
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: also make sure to bring in people or you have
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: to make sure to keep up with like the social media,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: like retweeting or helping promote the show as well.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: There's so many, like you said, backside of the, the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: unsexy parts of the promote putting on a show that
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't think about.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Right. Well, so show days are long days. What are
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: some standards that you normally have in your bag?
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Um, I always have, um, hand sanitizer i always have
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: lotion because traveling to like all these different like air
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: like different climate air is different from north carolina air so.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Like i need lotion.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Um i always keep a mirror because i'm like paranoid
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: about having something in my teeth before i go out
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: and wrestle um And then I always keep, I didn't really,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I've never been like a makeup girl, but when I
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: started wrestling, I was like, maybe I should like do some.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Makeup just a little bit. So I always have my
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: makeup bag now.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: And then I always have my little Brazilian flag somewhere
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: in my bag just to kind of remind myself that
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not just representing myself. I'm also representing a whole
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: different culture and country of people.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Giant country. Uh, so I've seen your gear. I don't
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: know if this will work. This question will actually, you
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: might have one, but you may not. Uh, do you
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: have a double sticks, uh, tape story?
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I do not. Um, I thankfully have not.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Ever well I have had like wardrobe malfunctions like in
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: the beginning of my career but like I only had
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: one never again because I'm like paranoid like.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I will not let that happen again but.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I feel like everybody has one um but I do
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: not thankfully need to wear double-sided tape just because I
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: uh I don't I don't like to show too much already.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: And like what I do show, I like to make
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: sure that like nothing will sneak up.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Or anything like that.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Sneak up or sneak out.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: But there's honestly, Angelina Love has the best double-sided tape.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know what brand she uses, but her stuff
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: never moves.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I have heard, I've asked this question multiple times. So
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I've heard there's like, Oh, what did somebody say? Cause
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the other day. It's like
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: basically like wig tape, but It's good for your, obviously
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: it's good for your skin as well.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: There's no like weird adhesive allergy or whatever. So I've
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: heard people use that as well.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: It might be what she uses.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: It's possible. Because if she puts it on and it
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: don't ever move.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: There are definitely people I'm like, I think they probably
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: need to invest in some tape or.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: But hey, you do you.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Well, so I have a segment on the show. I
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: call it the five count. It's just five random questions.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Number one, if you could do a TED Talk on
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: anything besides pro wrestling or jiu-jitsu, what could it be?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. I would probably give a TED Talk on soccer, probably. Okay.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Because soccer is very, very, very, very important in Brazil.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Very much so.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Number two, if you owned a liquor company, brewery, winery,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: coffee shop, or dispensary, which one would you own and
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: what would the name be?
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not a big drinker, but if we're playing beer pong,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: I'll drink like hell.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: If there's a competition to win, I will drink. There's
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: a Brazilian soda called Guaraná, so I would find a
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: way to like make that into like.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Like you know how jack daniels and coke made their
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: own like little cans i would probably do something like
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: that i don't know the name but i feel like
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: that would sell really good.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Okay yeah there are a lot of uh so it's
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: an alcoholic drink down there like a.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Or is it just it's a soda it's like a
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: fruit soda yeah oh so you.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Just mix it with whatever yeah gotcha okay okay yeah
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: i always wonder why more uh culture drinks like that
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: don't make it more happen over here in america but
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you know i guess it's advertising and stuff yeah right
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah number three uh crunchy or creamy peanut butter.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Creamy because if i spread it on bread like if
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: i don't toast the bread and i spread the peanut
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: butter if like the bread rips that'll piss me off
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: it'll ruin my day right off yeah.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, it could still do that with creamy. I've
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: had that happen before.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Really? Do you put your peanut butter in the fridge, though?
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: No, God, no. That's weird.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: My mom used to do that.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Some people put bread in there, too.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: My mom used to put the peanut butter in the fridge,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: and it would rip the bread every time I would
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: try to spread it, and I'd just be mad.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: I'd be raging all day.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Well, we realized the other day that, you know, the
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: old CM Punk picture that he put the title in
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the fridge?
• 35:46

  Speaker 2: Um, my mom inspires me.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: She, uh, she, I don't really, uh, I don't really
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: talk about like my personal life a lot of places,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: but like my mom is just like the, strongest person
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I've ever known.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Um, she's, she was an immigrant. She raised three kids
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: all by herself. Like she made it work.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: And, um, just, I didn't really realize like how much
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: she sacrificed until I got older.
