00:03:29.580 I don't think so.
00:03:30.380 It's a surprise project.
00:03:32.260 We got a surprise project.
00:03:33.640 It's why all these big cameras are in the room.

00:05:30.080 going crazy this wrestlemania like i'm i'm ready bro i'm trying to impress people like you when i
00:05:35.160 go on the ring because i got to pay homage to the hard work and decades of work that you put into
00:05:38.800 this industry well so here's the thing like you know you always have some people that go okay
00:05:43.580 a celebrity right forgetting that mr t was in the main event of wrestlemania one liberace was there
00:05:49.840 muhammad ali was there cindy lopper was there you actually get in and go and and do stuff that i look

00:06:05.380 what are you talking about bro i see you do a spear off the top of a ladder that's like the
00:06:09.180 That's the highest spear in WWE history. 1.00
00:06:11.320 That was stupid. 1.00
00:06:13.400 That was stupid. 1.00
00:06:14.260 I think so, too. 1.00
00:06:14.820 Yeah.
00:06:15.260 I watched it because, you know, I'm trying to do these, like, crazy stunts.
00:06:18.300 And someone sent me and I was like, dude, that's a move you got to, like, bite the bullet for.
00:06:23.380 You just can't think.
00:06:24.320 No, you can't.
00:06:25.400 You just got to send it, right?
00:06:26.480 Right out of your head.
00:06:27.420 Okay, but.
00:06:28.500 You've done that.
00:06:29.040 You've done that.
00:06:30.060 Some of the jumps you do are insane.
00:06:32.240 Like, I watch them from the sidelines.
00:06:34.860 And I'm curious.
00:06:35.600 Do you still look at him as, like, a part-timer?
00:06:38.000 like how do you guys in the locker room still like they call me a part-timer like the the jaded
00:06:43.940 malcontents are always gonna have something to complain about right here's how i look at it
00:06:48.140 you step in there you're good with me and i've always looked at it as if you can bring our
00:06:53.380 eyeballs to our product you're my friend that's what it's about trying yeah but but that that's
00:06:59.700 if you're truly comfortable in your position within wrestling within this company then you
00:07:05.080 don't sweat that you welcome it you know where i get a little cognizant of my position is guys like
00:07:13.880 you and the and the traditional wrestlers who are showing up every week you know 52 weeks a year to
00:07:19.980 do their smackdown the monday night raws dude i have i have four four events a year like at least
00:07:25.600 this year you know you know it's it's a different path for everybody though yeah it just is you know
00:07:30.960 for me i saw this when i was 10 and i went that's it i i have to do that you know i i can't go
00:07:39.260 slap hands with the incredible hulk but i can go to maple leaf gardens see hulk hogan
00:07:43.580 so for me that was kind of like i love the larger than life it was it was kiss it was wrestling
00:07:50.400 it was comic books it was that's my era so when i saw wrestling i was like well i need to do that
00:07:57.760 and there was no you couldn't dissuade me from it at all i feel like most people in the wwe now
00:08:03.760 have had that exact reaction to when they first saw wrestling they had to do it yeah yeah for the
00:08:08.660 most part but not but not all the time you know and there's no one path into this it's a weird
00:08:15.400 gig but it's amazing and there's so many different ways to get into it yeah i guess i just feel kind
00:08:21.260 of not bad but man you have you have the weeklies who are who are who are really like actively
00:08:29.080 building this organization every single week and i get to come in and capitalize on the goodwill
00:08:34.380 that they've sacrificed their bodies for again four times a year yeah and by the way i'm not
00:08:40.700 gonna stop but for the rest of us listening to this i'm cognizant of it and i appreciate your
00:08:46.520 hard work that i get to benefit off of four times yeah but i think but i think what you do on those
00:08:52.080 four times a year and i think that you you realize this is that you you really have to show up those
00:08:57.860 four times like i'm always afraid i'm gonna slip or something like bro when he when he shows up
00:09:03.080 those four times a year like you'll even say it i'm sure like from the outside it's just been
00:09:07.440 insane to watch like some of these moves are crazy and and what's really interesting about that
00:09:12.940 because if you perform less i find it harder for me personally because if i'm in the grind
00:09:20.260 and i'm continuing to do it i used to do 220 shows a year there's no way i can pull that off now i'm
00:09:25.420 49 years old right so but i find it harder to do one every three months or so does it get rusty
00:09:31.660 yeah yeah i gotta keep that we call it the bump callus right every every bump you take kind of
00:09:36.960 builds up a little bit of callus and so real it is and we talked about it you were like how do you
00:09:42.040 like keep going after you fall well you just get used to it eventually your body and we're all 0.80
00:09:49.280 stupid so you eventually just your body gets desensitized to it and it starts it's amazing 0.52
00:09:56.080 what the human body can put up with yeah yeah if you push it if you push it and it's much easier 1.00
00:10:01.480 to push it when there's 15 000 20 000 60 000 people watching something about jumping off a
00:10:07.240 ladder is a little easier when there's not many people watching you by god when we were doing it
00:10:11.340 in front of no one in the thunderdome dude screw that and i could hear the crew fart while i'm
00:10:15.640 doing a match and i'd be like inside just landed i just took a choke slam from cane or something
00:10:21.720 which really hurts especially with no people and could literally hear a dude farting that's like 0.99
00:10:28.380 me on this podcast with him i just oh it's the worst every time just bust an ass 0.88
00:10:33.500 but see i remember landing and i went oh and it hurts so much more okay of course of course so 0.63
00:10:43.880 so i don't i don't i don't think i could have done that i don't think i could i could have ever
00:10:49.180 subjected my body to that kind of torment without the the big payoff you know i'll just say it
00:10:55.520 and the payoff being that instant gratification right so that's what i've found like in any
00:11:01.000 acting i've done it's great acting's really fun it's a creative outlet it taps into that vein
00:11:06.120 and i need that in my life but um nothing for me hits me in the heart in the soul and like all of
00:11:16.380 it like this does when you have entrance music and as soon as that first chord that first word
00:11:24.980 that first instant and those people explode you know it's easy for you to say because you have
00:11:33.200 the greatest they're saying it's one of the best walkout song of all time i mean it i'm biased but
00:11:38.940 yeah i think it is but um it's just it's amazing to get that that reaction and you you do you feed
00:11:46.640 off of that i mean shit i got a triple fusion in my neck i'm not supposed to be doing this 0.80
00:11:50.440 but yet i get out there and i don't feel a thing how did you make your walkout song like how did 0.94
00:11:57.240 that come about because i had two and then at wrestlemania i'm gonna date by the time this
00:12:03.940 comes out we'll have debuted my new one that i like worked on and actually like feel really good
00:12:08.780 about but it's a hard process to to pick that that music it is and i i'm very hands-on with
00:12:14.280 all of the creative aspects of my character like i'm really hands-on and i always have been
00:12:18.940 probably to the point where when i first came in they're like who's this kid who wants his music
00:12:23.680 this way and who want who draws his own tights yeah and who designs his trench coats and his t-shirts
00:12:29.980 and but i've just always been that way i'm i've always been artistic and i want to be involved
00:12:35.300 in that process so if you see it on me i was a part of developing that yeah and that that to me
00:12:42.420 is important it's a brand that's what i was gonna it's a brand and with the music to honestly it was
00:12:48.340 the most important aspect of this whole thing because it kicks me into gear and if it can kick
00:12:53.380 me into gear then I'm going to throw as much energy as it gives me at the audience and if I
00:12:58.220 throw it at them they should throw it back at me twofold and now you've got this reciprocal thing
00:13:02.980 going on and now it's like the closest thing I can think of is like a like a concert or maybe
00:13:08.460 like a stand-up even where if the set's killing and you feel that energy from the audience and
00:13:14.360 If it's not, ooh, got to switch it up.
00:13:16.060 But with the music, a buddy of mine,
00:13:20.220 I went to a Metallica concert when I was out
00:13:22.100 with my first neck surgery.
00:13:23.260 So I'm wearing a neck collar and everything.
00:13:24.600 He goes, hey, want to come meet my brother?
00:13:26.580 And I said, sure.
00:13:28.080 Went over his brother, Mark Tremonti,
00:13:30.660 who is the guitarist for Alter Bridge.
00:13:33.640 And they hadn't released an album yet, though.
00:13:36.360 He goes, here, check out this album.
00:13:37.500 So he played me the whole first album.
00:13:39.740 Heard the fourth song.
00:13:40.600 I was like, hey, when I come back for my neck,
00:13:42.940 can I use that?
00:13:43.900 Really?
00:13:44.360 yeah oh so you got like a major oh man and he was like i own it so sure and you're so lucky
00:13:51.200 they're really strict about that now yeah like i i tried to use potentially music that i already
00:13:56.680 like they're like a friends uh an artist even yeah who i'm friends with they won't let me well
00:14:01.640 it's because of you know perpetuity and i did it yeah yeah of course it's hard a lot yeah but
00:14:07.080 mark just said yeah take it use it and he was smart because he owned it so there was no like
00:14:12.800 record company getting in the middle and trying to get more and gouging for money or anything like
00:14:16.620 that he knew this was going to get played every week in 120 countries yeah it's the most downloaded
00:14:21.920 song it's all of those things so that it worked out for both of us because man my my career feels
00:14:27.640 different without that well that walkout music it's like anybody can relate to this whether
00:14:32.160 they're a wrestler or not like when you go to the gym you put on the you know i listen to a day to 0.96
00:14:37.360 remember i listen to shit that pumps me up yeah it makes me want to work out work hard you know 0.95
00:14:40.960 so i couldn't imagine having like a song that didn't get me in the zone when i had to walk out 0.98
00:14:45.180 to 30 40 000 people to perform yeah man in the first couple of years i had one like that and i
00:14:50.560 was like just every time i came out i was like i don't feel this it's not it that's what i was
00:14:55.900 feeling and that's hard it really really is especially if you're you're trying to present
00:15:01.120 this overall package it's important yeah you're super super hands-on i was i was sent the uh the
00:15:06.760 documentary that you sent me is it out it is out what's it called what's your doc what's your doc

00:17:25.000 get this thing back um after all that time like nine years a long time to not do this and i had
00:17:32.920 another neck surgery in that time had two little girls in that time and it was actually them they
00:17:36.840 were the impetus for me to like i was falling into dad bod zone and i was like yeah and i was like i
00:17:45.300 was wearing cargo shorts and flip flops and i was about 260 adam sandler nice you know and i just
00:17:51.740 that i get tired walking up the stairs just now i need to i need to be around for these girls
00:17:57.240 because we started having kids after i retired the first time when i was 40 so i'm an older dad
00:18:01.560 i i knew if i want to be there at 70 and look like gandalf then i i better i better get some
00:18:08.100 get it together get some stem cells but man i just uh i dialed in my dad i started using a
00:18:14.760 meal company built a gym in the house and that changed everything oh nice oh you like working
00:18:19.380 not at home i hate working out in gyms anywhere else oh got it because if i'm there to work i'm
00:18:26.180 not there to look at my phone take pics i'm not there to like i just saw a dude watching a movie
00:18:31.300 while he's doing crunches and i actually went over to him i was like what are you doing what
00:18:36.260 are you doing man do you like trainers no for yeah some people don't well here's the deal like
00:18:42.400 i got a fused wrist right i got half a peck attached here i got no labrum i got a triple
00:18:46.760 fusion in my neck i got a torn achilles this pec completely torn off this tricep torn off
00:18:51.360 i gotta tailor my based on the day almost based on what i'm feeling based on my injuries based
00:18:58.160 on you know what i've been through right so i i even built the gym with that in mind specific
00:19:03.580 equipment specific you know everything's very specific to my needs and my capabilities got it
00:19:08.980 i find that the environment that i'm working out in really affects sometimes the quality
00:19:13.740 100 absolutely yeah this thing it's just it it's my tastes yeah it's it's everything that i like
00:19:21.540 and no trainer either no trainer it does that is that because you don't like being pushed by
00:19:27.060 someone else or or someone telling you what to do um i don't really know i think i just i always
00:19:33.560 feel like i have a good knowledge of my body well yeah and part of that is from wrestling you really
00:19:39.700 start to understand you know just the dynamics of your body and the mechanics of it like i can
00:19:46.840 see somebody fall and know what's gonna hurt right i can see it i go oh okay he just reached back
00:19:52.720 he's gonna feel that in his elbow his shoulder collarbone yeah and if he lands like that he's
00:19:57.700 probably gonna land lower back first lower back gonna be real sore then he's gonna whiplash his
00:20:01.500 neck so all of that is gonna be affected like i'm this weird analytics machine yes you know you know
00:20:07.620 Yeah, I see a bump, and I go, mm.
00:20:10.580 Should've tucked, should've tucked that head.
00:20:12.380 Yeah, so like my kids now, when they're playing, I'm like, you fall that way,
00:20:15.660 this is what's gonna happen.
00:20:16.740 And they're like, whatever, Dad.
00:20:18.900 And I'm like, okay, all right.
00:20:20.100 Yeah, you talked a couple minutes ago about Adam,
00:20:23.560 and you basically separated the two entities.
00:20:27.540 We just had Rey Mysterio on, obviously, whose entities are so detached,
00:20:32.540 so masked on one side, and the other side is just completely different.
00:20:35.300 what are the core differentiators between Adam and Edge?
00:20:40.820 So it's slowly grown closer, especially with this run
00:20:46.120 and coming back after the retirement and the second ex-surgeon and everything.
00:20:49.600 It's a lot closer to Adam now.
00:20:51.620 And I really made that conscious decision to go out there.
00:20:55.180 When I have a microphone, there's not many filters.
00:20:58.660 Obviously, I've got to ramp it up.
00:21:00.040 I've got to get in tents.
00:21:00.940 I've got to sell tickets.
00:21:02.320 Got to do all of those things.
00:21:03.820 but i also try to be really relatable and by being relatable i just throw adam out there
00:21:09.860 and because everybody sees the documentaries because they see the story that it took to get
00:21:16.300 back i mean that's all adam that's got nothing to do with edge it's just to get back to being edge
00:21:20.820 um but i've always i meet somebody it's adam nice to meet you right character do you do you think
00:21:27.440 that that's like kind of a direction that the wwe has started to move as an organization to be a
00:21:32.720 little bit more relatable and transparent because when you when you compare it to the days of like
00:21:37.960 the attitude era right and to now it's such a drastic difference and it's it really is an ode
00:21:44.040 to how um good of at branding the wwe is because that's the way that the that society and the
00:21:51.080 internet has moved they want more relatable more transparent characters they want to know who these
00:21:55.300 people actually are and they want to see what goes on under the hood so do you think that that's
00:21:59.140 the reason why you're moving and wwe's moving in that direction or i mean i i was always kind
00:22:04.240 of that direction like i i didn't do the whole when i'm outside uh the ring if like if i meet
00:22:10.860 you in a waffle house right you know um or it'd be funny because you get on talk shows and they
00:22:17.520 say oh so can you growl and i'm like no yeah i'm a human why would i just sit here and growl like
00:22:23.560 well i'm not a trained monkey like i wear tights for a living sure okay but i'm not wearing them
00:22:29.840 now you know so uh i love talking about wrestling i love talking about like the layers of story and
00:22:36.440 to me it's that's what we are it's just a different form of storytelling it's a it's a different like
00:22:41.540 okay it's entertainment you got movies on this branch you got television on this branch you got
00:22:45.980 podcasts on this branch music on this branch you got wrestling over here it's all the same tree
00:22:49.960 um and i love telling stories in the ring it's amazing it's it's the secret sauce of this
00:22:57.860 industry that i wasn't entirely tuned into and i'm still not totally but it's the thing that i
00:23:03.000 think really draws me in you're you're telling a performative art story with badass physicality
00:23:09.860 and a dance partner and you're your own stunt person yeah and there's no cut yeah it's live
00:23:15.180 yo it's live it's live and that's where the i don't want to slip yeah right yeah of course
00:23:20.860 yeah but i've i've yet to encounter anything that like is this fondue pot of just
00:23:27.280 amazing elements that's what it is it's a it's a fondue pot of of epicness it has every
00:23:34.420 almost every aspect of entertainment that people are drawn to in one and i think by opening up
00:23:41.520 and cameras everywhere and all of those things i think the audience and an outside audience besides
00:23:47.920 the hardcore really got to kind of like oh okay they peeled the the curtain back yeah you know
00:23:52.740 it's not um you're in your character 24 7 and there's no form of entertainment in this it's all
00:24:00.060 like an athletic contest and the winner is the winner it's like okay we we can get past there's
00:24:05.140 more there's more to the story yeah this is storytelling right and i love it i think when
00:24:10.260 people are drawn to characters as well who maybe aren't sorry i think people who maybe aren't
00:24:15.900 traditional wwe fans are drawn to and invested in a character and a person it really helps the
00:24:23.200 industry as well like kind of what mike was saying the difference between edge and adam and the line
00:24:28.680 is getting more and more blurry but i think it's good because people people want to know who you
00:24:34.840 are well yeah they become invested in the person behind the character yeah yeah you know and where
00:24:39.320 wrestling is strange though is like i've always said you don't go up to like johnny depp and go
00:24:43.640 mr scissorhands yeah yeah yeah oh my god right right but everybody will come up to me and say
00:24:48.580 edge which is cool i get it well well think think about it for a second i mean one of the biggest
00:24:54.000 things about being a celebrity or any kind of personality is relatability and if if you were
00:25:00.160 just the edge it would be very hard for me to relate to that person like i don't jump off the
00:25:04.400 top rope very often i'm not spearing people i'm not going up against the undertaker and you're
00:25:09.180 smarter than me you know what i'm saying but but when i find out that adam you know had you know
00:25:15.060 something happened in his personal life all of a sudden that takes on a whole new meaning to me
00:25:18.960 and now i have an attachment to that character in the ring because of the attachment that i have to
00:25:22.960 adam as a person i think that wwe along with a lot of orgs have gotten smart to that and have said yo
00:25:28.220 this is our route into relatability to the audience i i think other forms of athletics
00:25:33.700 have started to discover that too yep you know like i love hockey right my favorite sport i'm
00:25:39.540 canadian i got no choice but the one thing about it is it's like there's not a lot of charismatic
00:25:45.840 hockey players there's not a lot of behind the like the curtain kind of thing and it's starting
00:25:51.880 to and guys are starting to get it you know and i i look to conor mcdavid and i see like he totally
00:25:57.540 got it he was he was being a pro wrestler yeah you know conor mcdavid yeah so you're a hockey
00:26:02.640 player conor mcgregor i'm sorry conor mcdavid is the best hockey player in the world i'm like
00:26:07.600 i'm like there's a conor mcdavid so i'm full hockey brain got it that's fair conor mick uh
00:26:14.000 mcgregor was uh was doing he was doing vents yeah yeah yeah yeah and and slash roddy piper
00:26:20.220 you know it's crazy how if uh an athlete can unlock that charisma their stock value goes
00:26:26.180 through the roof and that's what every wrestler because people will buy yeah to see you either
00:26:31.500 get beat or win yeah you don't want apathy apathy by the way oh yeah how far are you
00:26:39.600 i'm about here yeah you might want to yeah maybe chill yeah i don't know i'm kind of liking it
00:26:44.300 i'm gonna crack one those are i drink those before my workouts they get me they get me
00:26:48.940 cranking yeah but you yeah you're seeing it with hockey a little bit too like um
00:26:52.240 like there's the the one um maybe you don't know him but there's a the one african-american
00:26:57.360 player who's been very vocal about his struggles as an african-american in the hockey space yeah
00:27:01.820 there's riot reeves um there's quite a few uh wayne simmons plays for my team maple leafs and
00:27:08.340 um that's changing too they've really i think the the powers that be within hockey have understood
00:27:15.240 like this just can't be a sport for farmers from saskatchewan i didn't know that it was that crazy
00:27:21.080 until he started i i feel bad because i can't remember his name now started speaking out about
00:27:25.700 it but that's another output of people being relatable in the space because now when someone
00:27:32.860 at that level uh says there's an issue in the space now the audience is gonna say oh okay we
00:27:38.560 gotta change this yeah and and an org is not gonna change until the money and the audience says yo
00:27:42.900 you need to fucking step up and change and also why would you in any way just like there's a whole
00:27:48.460 new market there there's a whole new market of children who could play now and just imagine the 0.98
00:27:54.180 freak athletes you're gonna get you know so but hockey's my thing that's why i went to conor mcdavid
00:27:59.440 and thankfully somebody uh i was talking about the best hockey player in the world jesus um it was
00:28:05.460 this thing he's getting hyped up it'll get your wheels spinning as someone who is super hands-on
00:28:11.500 with their brand which you don't always find in any industry and and the wwe um and i assume the
00:28:18.040 the org likes that input right or i'm i'm sure i probably get annoying sometimes you know because
00:28:26.480 i'm the same way with my matches too i'm the same way with my stories okay like i write my promos i
00:28:32.180 i so i kind of just started to dabble in that because i i want to be a team player yeah and
00:28:39.700 and do what i'm told but at the same time as someone who's like mike i don't have a character
00:28:43.520 bro i'm just myself yeah i gotta like be myself yeah but i'm i'm i'm curious were you always want
00:28:52.060 to did you always want to become like the edge that you became and did it did it go the route
00:28:57.040 you wanted did you have a vision for who you wanted to be when you first started the wwe or
00:29:01.840 were you adapting on the fly based on the audience and the org a little bit of both you know i had a
00:29:07.360 vision um but sometimes that vision wouldn't take like i thought it would yeah or i couldn't get the
00:29:13.220 foothold that i thought it would um you know when i first came in there was no real direction for
00:29:18.660 what my character was it was just like okay we want you to be this guy yeah and you know they
00:29:23.760 they wanted me to quote poetry and like and and i was like like one of the one of the descriptions
00:29:30.140 was kind of like jim morrison i was like so wait what i just like the lead singer of the door yeah
00:29:35.620 so i just like wandered down drunk yeah i don't know what i can do with that then there was one
00:29:42.760 point where i wasn't gonna be able to speak or hear just a deaf mute yeah what are you talking
00:29:47.860 about what are you talking about yeah so these are all things that i was like and then a vampire
00:29:54.540 like it's like and when we started the brood i was like okay this i can sink my teeth into
00:30:00.120 but uh i'm here all day but that's where i first started feeling like okay okay we got something
00:30:08.080 here right this is fun this is a character now now i can and we got this music we're kind of
00:30:12.640 bouncing to it we're coming up in a ring of fire and like that was that's when i first started to
00:30:18.100 feel like okay i can make it here that was that was such a like visibly and like brand different
00:30:24.280 time for for you know the organ like do you do you notice that absence of like darkness nowadays
00:30:31.660 that like monsters vampire type character undertaker like character and is there a
00:30:38.180 chance it ever comes back it'll be coming back this sunday oh so oh so all right so
00:30:43.240 you've already seen it so okay so i didn't know this so if you saw wrestlemania you know what
00:30:47.620 he's talking about but so wow yeah maybe a return to the darkness yeah you know it's it's kind of
00:30:53.180 nice because it's it's neat to like dip into like an alter ego of a character right so i have edge
00:30:59.900 and he was the ultimate opportunist then he was a rated r superstar he was in the brood so brood
00:31:05.740 edge i can bring brood edge out now from like 25 years ago and dip into that character when i feel
00:31:13.220 like it can fit right so i got a hell in a cell against a dude who calls himself the demon oh
00:31:18.020 yeah okay then i'm bringing that character out and now i can dip into some some acting chops too 0.90
00:31:23.140 and like because i'm not really a fucking vampire i'm not really the devil but you know i can i can
00:31:29.720 write a promo and craft a story right and so far away from adam because this incarnation of edge 0.86
00:31:35.460 has become like i said a lot of adam in there um and that's really fun but that only comes like
00:31:41.720 june is my 25th year with this company since my television debut so with that equity and that
00:31:48.480 time like i grew up in front of these people yeah i started here when i was 23 you know you've seen
00:31:53.420 so much seen it all and and they've seen me see it all right so there there's there's a certain
00:32:01.220 relationship that you build with an audience through time and just through reps and through
00:32:05.320 all of those things um but uh man and more than anything i'm just still having a blast
00:32:10.860 probably the most important thing it is because then i wouldn't do it otherwise yeah you know
00:32:16.120 like it's hard man especially like i'm sure your body doesn't take damage like it used to no
00:32:20.540 no you know what it is it's i'm okay in there it's the recovery longer longer you ice bath
00:32:28.340 ice bath sauna i did everything all the things i never used to do because i just feel like okay
00:32:34.500 yeah we're next show tomorrow got it where do i gotta be jackson mississippi okay 300 mile drive
00:32:39.060 got it well you you obviously went through that whole party phase too like of i was never part
00:32:45.040 No, I just didn't, as the rated R superstar.
00:32:47.800 I know, I know, I didn't live up to any of that.
00:32:50.540 You had some vices though, right?
00:32:53.060 Like, what were your?
00:32:54.600 Here was my thing.
00:32:56.100 I was always, to me, if any time I went out and did party, 0.75
00:33:02.080 I felt like crap, and it affected my performance. 0.84
00:33:04.660 And to me, the performance was the most important thing. 0.94
00:33:07.640 I didn't see that as a kid and go,
00:33:10.240 I can't wait to become a wrestler so I can party.
00:33:12.000 i want to go out there and do this and i'm i'm also like i just love to read
00:33:19.140 yeah really so i just go back to my room and i'd read no way i swear to you i didn't see that
00:33:25.580 coming i read i read 72 books last year what yeah i carry a book with me wherever i go do you have
00:33:32.300 a couple favorites i hate i hate superlatives but you ever read any real transformative books
00:33:37.660 there's this guy uh uh ryan holiday has some really interesting like stoic philosophy books
00:33:44.540 that are that are pretty interesting stoicism yeah got it and um this guy tim grover man he
00:33:51.040 helped train kobe and michael got it tim grover tim grover tim s grover relentless someone just
00:33:57.820 connected us on a text thread and i was books logan didn't respond no i you should he he sent
00:34:04.420 me a message and he said hey if you're if you ever need anything i'm here but like i didn't
00:34:08.260 i don't know him so i don't know what that means but he's he's phenomenal he he is his mindset is
00:34:14.400 amazing i should have a conversation yes all right yes do what do you are you into that kind of stoic
00:34:19.280 stuff uh i am but not all the time you know like i i try to carry myself a certain way all the time
00:34:26.220 um but for me when it comes to books i'll read anything read my book all right i'll send it to
00:34:32.300 you i'm in it's a great book yeah i think you'll love it yeah i just i love devouring whatever i

00:35:03.860 even a hockey room it's just maple leafs and i sit back there with my scotch this sounds great that
00:35:09.680 sounds awesome and i sit there with my scotch and i got my 30 years i got my my 25s my 20s my 16s my
00:35:17.980 10s my 12s all in there but scotch scotch is my thing and i didn't i didn't even fully understand
00:35:24.460 that i i had a gig on vikings so i was on vikings for like four four seasons and we'd be standing
00:35:30.160 out there in these irish winters just damp you're wearing wool you're wearing leather it just gets
00:35:36.140 in your bones so i get back to the to the condo and they didn't have logs so you put in these
00:35:41.620 like peat burquets in the fireplace and the scotch kind of tastes like that smelled and it warmed me
00:35:49.120 right and i was like oh okay i think i gotta i got a thing now dude but with the stuff you do
00:35:54.980 in wrestling and even just your stature you're you're you're you're a big guy and you probably
00:35:59.160 easily could have played hockey or like any other sport just as well as you you did you did wrestling
00:36:04.540 but you chose wrestling have you ever thought about what life could have looked like if you
00:36:09.720 chose a different athletic career path well here here's like i played everything as a kid okay um
00:36:15.260 basketball hockey volleyball uh baseball uh soccer i played it all um enjoyed it all too
00:36:23.440 uh we didn't have a football team though so i can play that but uh hockey was my other love but
00:36:30.380 it was too expensive for us because it was just me and my mom so um we were we were kind of like
00:36:37.600 meal to meal so after two years of hockey she was like adam i can't i can't we can't pull this off
00:36:44.200 So I had to just kind of let that go.
00:36:47.600 And about two years later, then I saw wrestling.
00:36:50.680 I was like, I'm good.
00:36:52.580 And truly, I believe that I was put here to do a couple things,
00:36:57.520 entertain people and be a dad.
00:37:00.240 Did both.
00:37:01.540 And I'm doing both.
00:37:02.300 You're doing both.
00:37:02.820 I'm doing both.
00:37:04.400 It's funny that you brought up that angle of kind of affordability with wrestling.
00:37:09.140 Man, I remember sitting watching WrestleMania when it was Ultimate Warrior
00:37:13.940 and it was like you know you know razor and all and and all those guys and it didn't matter who
00:37:19.760 you were what basement you were in as long as you had some pillows or something soft to an old
00:37:26.120 mattress beat up mattress or a sleeping bag whatever a pile of clothes you had a ring yeah
00:37:32.520 you had a ring and and that's so interesting and probably so relatable to a lot of people out there
00:37:36.660 that you know like sports are expensive yeah yeah that's that's an interesting that's an
00:37:41.440 take that i hadn't heard before yeah and and again our household like it just i had to come
00:37:46.520 to the realization pretty young that that just wasn't in the cards and and kind of wrap my mind
00:37:51.680 around that and go okay well what can i do and uh and then i saw wrestling i just thought man i
00:37:58.460 gotta do that when i was first making videos as like a 10 year old yeah and throughout high school
00:38:05.720 my peers would look at me and be like what are you doing dummy like you're not gonna get famous
00:38:10.380 right and now my kids my little nephew come up and they say i what do you want to be youtuber
00:38:16.820 youtuber no it's it's insane it's it's it's the one thing i got really lucky on really early like
00:38:23.760 that i i i bet on this industry and i happen to be right you bet on yourself yeah anybody who's
00:38:29.720 successful at multiple stages throughout their life have to bet on themselves i agree and if
00:38:34.500 you're afraid to bet on yourself then you're not going to do it always bet on myself always you
00:38:38.760 got to but where i'm going with that is i was made fun of for like making videos which you know
00:38:43.940 have their elements of non-coolness from time to time i imagine as a wrestler like you you were
00:38:52.540 your peers oh encouraging or or was it like dude what are you what are you doing you want to be a
00:38:58.100 professional wrestler adam the only person who thought i could do it was my mom yeah that makes
00:39:03.160 she was the only person and and from day one bless her heart man she just she was so supportive
00:39:09.820 like she was my rock and it was just her and i against the world is what it felt like too right
00:39:15.520 so you know that all of those elements and everything and then when i said you know when
00:39:20.940 i'm 10 years old saying i want to be a wrestler she was like oh okay you know and she'd sit down
00:39:24.740 she'd watch it with me cool now when i was 17 and i won an essay contest to to get free wrestling
00:39:33.580 training and i was driving down uninsured to go to wrestling training every week she was like okay do
00:39:40.280 it do it uh she was a rock isn't it crazy how important parenthood is i mean it's just so it's
00:39:47.520 just insane it made such a difference because everybody at my school like i tried to hide it
00:39:51.800 from people at school because i started training was still in high school right you know like i
00:39:55.280 was voted most likely to become wwe champion and all those things so it got out and people would
00:39:59.880 come to like weekend shows and i'd be like oh i'm in spandex yeah yeah uh hi todd how's it going
00:40:07.760 you know and ah there's there's bethany lee oh man that thing right of course so um but i i grew
00:40:17.500 past it eventually i went to college for um radio broadcasting because i thought it would help me
00:40:22.060 with my inflection my tone oh cool that was the idea for that and a week after i graduated i got
00:40:28.020 my first call to do a wwf match in hamilton cops coliseum may 10th 1996 a week after oh yeah bob
00:40:35.700 spark plug holly first match on razor ramon was at the curtain ultimate warrior was at the curtain
00:40:40.800 all those guys were at the curtain waiting for me to fail i think and i got through the back and
00:40:46.660 And they're like, wow, kid, this is a good job.
00:40:49.520 Nice.
00:40:49.620 I was like, that's a tough crowd.
00:40:51.900 Okay, I'm doing something right now.
00:40:53.620 That had to be a massive boost for you.
00:40:56.060 Razor pulled me aside and he goes, man, kid, you got it.
00:40:58.480 You just got to figure out how to work in front of 10 and take it to 10,000.
00:41:03.920 Yeah.
00:41:04.460 How did that feel for you?
00:41:05.900 Because I think everyone has those moments where they look back and they get that credibility
00:41:10.340 boost from a meaningful person.
00:41:11.700 I mean, he was a big one for me.
00:41:12.860 I've had a number of other guys along the way that have kind of given me that boost.
00:41:16.440 how did that feel for you it's a validation yeah you know and and once you get that validation
00:41:20.520 from people who have succeeded to that degree it's like i'm not crazy yeah okay all right
00:41:25.660 there's something to this like the feelings that i'm having are warranted because other people are
00:41:32.020 seeing it yeah and i just got those 10 000 people who did not know who the hell i was i got them to
00:41:38.120 react now all i did is go out and dance in a very caucasian fashion and i did this horrible running
00:41:45.480 man because like i just got to get a reaction yeah and they all started booing yeah but you
00:41:49.620 got a reaction but i got a reaction and you got that validation and all of a sudden that spandex
00:41:53.960 started feeling a little bit more comfortable a little bit more comfortable yeah a little bit
00:41:56.740 isn't it crazy how that works yeah yeah and and um and then from there it was just god what a wild
00:42:03.100 ride like i but i i truly i can look to like wrestling i met my wife here you know i have two
00:42:10.440 kids because we met here like my entire life the the entire trajectory of my life has been changed
00:42:17.760 because of this job and then to not have it for nine years and get it back dude i don't i don't
00:42:23.700 look like every nanosecond i'm doing this i appreciate it because i know like that it can
00:42:29.880 be gone yeah it's like you have a second life yeah absolutely i'm i wanted to dive into this
00:42:34.940 i'm incredibly fascinated by this uh this injury that you had it was it was a neck injury yeah
00:42:40.580 you had one surgery yeah and then the wwe told you like essentially you're a liability guy you
00:42:47.300 you're not in wrestling shape you have to retire so what what had happened was i um i ruptured two
00:42:53.620 discs in my neck at 29 years old again all those ladder matches right they take a toll yeah so um
00:43:01.480 and uh so i had to get a double fusion and they took the bone from the hip and blah blah blah and
00:43:07.760 it was like a year at that point to recuperate from so i came back from that wrestled nine more
00:43:13.580 years and they said listen this you know the discs on either side are going to slam off that
00:43:18.020 fusion off that titanium plate your career is going to be shorter it's like all right well
00:43:22.820 i haven't been world champ yet and i gotta do that like i i checked off all the other stuff
00:43:28.740 and it's entertainment it is but but being given an opportunity with with the world championship
00:43:35.260 it's like you're trusted you're being given the oscar or the tip of the hat like you are trusted
00:43:41.040 with the baby and i had to do that so in those nine years i came back and i became this vile
00:43:50.420 you know just no redeeming qualities villain and i really leaned into it and when we're talking
00:43:57.640 about things that i would tap into i was like okay i want to be like the guns and roses of wrestling
00:44:01.920 just that slimy gutter dwelling guy that you wouldn't want anywhere near your woman because 0.99
00:44:07.900 he'd probably steal her yeah and then beat your ass so and then you'd play his song afterwards 1.00
00:44:13.740 yes yes so in november rain 0.99
00:44:18.200 but in doing that i was wrestling all of the top baby faces in the company who just happened to be
00:44:28.580 like undertaker big show batista john cena right kane who's the one getting thrown around
00:44:36.160 that's my job right so eventually it did take its toll and i had just assumed it was normal
00:44:44.180 because i got a double fusion and i land on my back for a living okay i'm always going to have
00:44:47.880 a headache that's just the way it is i didn't realize that isn't just the way it is i had
00:44:51.560 developed spinal stenosis which is a narrowing of the spinal column and it shuts down your spinal
00:44:56.560 cords it was being pinched like a straw and we didn't realize that the full extent of that until
00:45:01.220 after wrestlemania 27 i was world champ did the match yeah they said we want you to get a little
00:45:07.480 testing got the testing and that's when we found out i was like oh okay i didn't i didn't expect 0.96
00:45:14.040 that at least at this stage i was 37 i figured i'd go to 40 right and uh so i was like oh shit
00:45:21.960 i better wrap my mind around this and figure out what it is i'm gonna do and um acting fell in my
00:45:28.000 lap because this executive producers of show haven wanted to tie in with wrestling they saw
00:45:33.080 my retirement speech you know one episode turned into 41 and then i realized okay i enjoy this it's
00:45:39.660 not quite like wrestling but i still enjoy it and then got the second neck surgery yeah so now i
00:45:46.480 have a triple fusion but that was the one right that was the one that second neck surgery so so
00:45:50.460 this this is where i am i get a little fuzzy was it an amazing surgeon that happened to heal you
00:45:57.060 right up was it just because the second surgery opened it so the the second surgery took the
00:46:04.060 pressure off my cord and they fused me a level up so i should have lost mobility but i haven't
00:46:12.260 and i all i can equate it to is that i really work on my neck like i train my neck oh really
00:46:21.540 what kind of stuff do you do so i got this thing called an iron neck i think i have it is it the 0.96
00:46:25.600 circle around your head halo looks like a moron oh you look like the great gazoo yeah it's dated 0.76
00:46:30.900 reference but somebody somewhere i'll get it but um but yeah do this thing yeah oh the next and 0.99
00:46:36.980 okay okay and for me um what that did was attack and strengthen all of those little muscles that
00:46:46.180 get attacked when you bump yeah the surroundings yeah it's it's not so much the fusion it's making
00:46:51.540 sure all of this is like good and ready to go um between that my diet and and honestly my mentality
00:46:58.820 i there's i don't know if there's another way to put it and dr maroon who did the surgery is is
00:47:03.360 kind of agreed to the same thing he goes i really don't know if i can fully explain it except that
00:47:08.440 you just think differently wait a second dr maroon was the one who medically retired you yeah and
00:47:14.700 then he also did the second surgery and then he unretired yes eight years later right nine years
00:47:20.160 later yeah because i i in the doc your your wife especially by the way shout out to her yeah what 0.84
00:47:25.600 what a great person she's the best i mean i'm biased but yeah i mean bro she she has that 0.78
00:47:31.300 supportive uh like she really loves you and as much as she wanted you to do the thing that you
00:47:37.100 love she she said what you have to be medically cleared by like a bunch of doctors and she has
00:47:41.960 to see it for herself and when he did it it sounded like she didn't think in any world he
00:47:48.640 was going to be the final clearance for you to wrestle she she equated him to the big boss in
00:47:52.380 the video game yeah yeah yeah and and for me that's what i thought too like even going in i
00:47:58.040 was like i know i'm good i can do this but that doesn't mean anything you need to hear it from
00:48:03.640 bowser bowser needs to tell us right exactly so and then um man but as as a doctor who who saw
00:48:15.660 who medically retired you he certainly he was like this can't this can't be right how how has
00:48:21.040 this recovery happened yeah we we've had some pretty incredible discussions and um i i think
00:48:27.760 he's as dumbfounded as me sometimes i thought for sure he'd be inclined to be like no no i
00:48:33.280 have medically retired you i know how bad this is it's a miracle and literally it's what it sounds
00:48:37.880 like well i think also too it's like i'm on a different schedule now you know i'm not trying
00:48:42.280 to maintain the like i said the 220 a year it's not not feasible not possible like and and nobody
00:48:49.180 needs to see me 220 times a year let's face it but one but but something else that's like so
00:48:55.600 apparent about you as you as you speak here about your regimen is that you put in the work and i
00:49:01.260 mean like into all of the individual details of this uh uh you know specialty that is you know
00:49:07.840 your career and you look at a lot of these other guys and you know not not taking anything away
00:49:12.460 from but there are the party guys there are the guys that are more focused on this or focused on
00:49:16.460 that you you live this and i see i actually see a lot of it in him as well he this this this thing
00:49:22.840 is what he does yeah he doesn't want to party he doesn't want to go out vices don't exist to him
00:49:27.120 he is locked and loaded into this 24 7 and i and i guarantee you that a lot of those unretired 0.94
00:49:33.700 people are the ones that are willing to put in 15 20 hours a week working out their neck to become
00:49:39.680 unretired like not everybody's willing to do that i was just in the gym with two other dudes who
00:49:44.260 have had really bad neck injuries and surgeries and we were in there and we were going right
00:49:50.720 it's just a it's a different yeah i mean the neck it's a different mindset the neck is i need to get
00:49:57.440 in and out of this industry dude no seriously every single person every wrestler that sits in
00:50:02.780 that seat just tells me how messed up they are and all these injuries and it's already happened
00:50:07.400 and i i i just want to watch my health man yeah for sure but here's what i've also learned that's
00:50:14.940 also a mindset as long as i keep moving i keep moving but also it's a it's when i mean like
00:50:20.780 what's the extent no but it's a dedicated no you can do this you can move but it's a dedication
00:50:27.340 dude it's like look at any sport i mean he he for his whole life he knew he wanted to do this
00:50:31.840 obviously when you watch it you know it's not going to be you're not you're going to be prone
00:50:36.060 to some hiccups but dude like look at every basketball player look at every legacy hockey
00:50:41.600 player every legacy football player this is an athletic there's a price to be paid prowess yeah
00:50:46.820 there's a toll for sure and it's worth it i think i i believe it is because i i look at the life i've
00:50:53.220 been able to you know supply to my children yeah and you know i know that's why my mom busted her
00:51:01.200 ass working two jobs is so that i'd have the opportunity to be able to supply it for her
00:51:05.560 grandkids and and i'm able to do that and and it i've been able to do it by doing something i
00:51:12.760 absolutely love and i realize how rare that is in everyday society take 100 people ask them if they
00:51:20.800 absolutely love what they're doing yeah do you absolutely love it me i do the same way he does
00:51:25.660 i do oh wrestling yeah i don't think so i don't think i love it like you love i'm a different
00:51:29.780 beast when it comes to wrestling i am i'm a lifer and and you know even though i love acting and
00:51:35.640 even though i've had some some good chunky roles i still fought to get this back what what percentage
00:51:42.420 of of guys do you think have that have the mentality that you have where they're they are
00:51:46.900 they saw it they wanted it from day one and they're and they did it i think you can tell who
00:51:51.440 they're yeah you know i think the undertaker i think uh you know i think the greats yeah you
00:51:57.920 kind of have you have to triple h it's it's it's the guys that are still around to be honest like 0.98
00:52:02.900 i've seen undertaker walking around backstage triple triple h's what the fuck was that one more 0.79
00:52:08.960 time one more time no i like no no one more time what do you think about breaking the streak of 0.99
00:52:13.520 undertaker oh yeah okay speaking of undertaker so we got a guy in our ear that was you have to
00:52:18.040 understand you're in a groundbreaking situation here this never happened the first episode out
00:52:24.340 of 400 about where we've had someone that's able to communicate with us behind the scene we don't
00:52:29.800 even want them communicating with us we don't what the fact that it just happened it's horrible
00:52:33.500 we're in a great place no no no but it's good it's good yes that's a good transition you turn
00:52:37.100 down well at least i've been told by my production team is that you turn down the idea of taking
00:52:45.220 away the the championship belt from undertaker is that wrong sorry sorry the rest of the
00:52:50.560 Wrestlemania streak correct yeah so when we were uh we're gonna meet I've got a snort there too
00:52:57.540 um the main event of Wrestlemania 24 and I think his streak at that point was like 15 and 0
00:53:03.140 and uh it was it was kind of thrown by me like what do you think and I was like absolutely not
00:53:10.260 absolutely not like why would we do that that makes zero sense to me I'm already a made man
00:53:17.460 i'm in the main event of wrestlemania what's it gonna do for me sure it would it would do something
00:53:24.300 i guess but like let's save that let's save that for somebody who can really use that boost and to
00:53:31.800 me as the year started to go and go and go i was like reigns is that guy and let's save it for that
00:53:38.340 but it wasn't my call obviously but when when it was brought to my attention or at least thrown by
00:53:44.160 me as an option i just thought no because it was just as important as the world championships at 0.96
00:53:49.940 wrestlemania so why take away one of our marquee attractions that's the real team player shit yeah
00:53:56.680 for sure you know again i was already made if i'm the main event of wrestlemania i don't need the 0.73
00:54:02.640 street i don't need to break that did you ever regret that decision not at all not at all do you
00:54:08.980 think ruining not well yeah ruining a street eventually was a was a poor decision yes by the
00:54:15.600 org yes i people go back and forth on this i do and and the only reason i say that is because i
00:54:21.460 don't think brock needed it he was already a world beater yeah you know he was already ufc
00:54:25.820 heavyweight champion he was already all of these things whereas roman was just on the cusp and if
00:54:31.960 he were the first guy oh man i mean obviously it still worked out pretty well but um but i think
00:54:38.960 it could have sped it up you dude for first i want to say this before i forget watching from
00:54:44.480 the outside and being having the the opportunity and blessing to sit here with you and and and
00:54:50.600 people from the organ and hearing your takes on what the world has seen is so interesting to me
00:54:56.500 because this organization it you could make a full series of movies about it like it is it
00:55:02.680 from from the the level of fan engagement and intensity to the corporate team to the events
00:55:08.940 themselves to the injuries to the the personal road trips the insane insane so thank you for
00:55:16.540 coming out and talking about it but i want to ask you is the taker to you like the ultimate like
00:55:21.480 you know symbol of of greatness in the in the wwe and i mean he's he's got to be you know
00:55:29.320 one of them for sure because if you look at in terms of longevity and longevity at the top
00:55:36.800 that's the hardest part yeah for sure that's the hardest part to be able to maintain it like
00:55:41.800 to be able to be a tom brady and to be able to like and yes what we do is entertainment but
00:55:47.580 i don't care you still have to be in great shape mentally on there's so many plates that you have
00:55:55.340 to keep in the air from smashing when you're out there and to be able to do all of those things for
00:56:01.260 that long with a character by the way who initially like the dude's dead how's that gonna work on 0.96
00:56:08.220 paper it was a bit odd absolutely yeah how's that gonna work and guess what he made it fucking work
00:56:13.580 yeah well he had he had a good partner for a long time well absolutely but like without him
00:56:18.680 as that that uh that driving force behind you know reinventing himself because that's a lot
00:56:26.220 of what this is too then it doesn't work if he were still just sitting up and like painted white
00:56:30.180 with purple under his eyes then that's not going to work for longer than it did and he was smart
00:56:36.040 enough to realize and focus was he a hands-on creative like yourself maybe not i to an extent
00:56:43.440 i mean i was i'm like you're so you're super i mean even watching you draw your your outfits
00:56:49.120 like well by the way i was really impressed you're you're you're in the trenches dude yeah
00:56:54.500 to to like it can be exhausting at times i'm sure i'm sure for the team sometimes they're like bro
00:56:59.940 the amount of notes i get back on blah blah yeah and then like the bath will just sit there and
00:57:04.420 like like i drew the storyboard for my entrance this year no way yeah okay yeah it's too far bro
00:57:09.940 because i see it in my head and i'll explain it and they go but but i'm like what is it what are
00:57:16.640 you doing uh they'll have seen it oh they the other okay so uh i got slayer south of heaven
00:57:21.880 and i figure we're hell in a cell like i should come up to the south of heaven
00:57:27.500 absolutely makes sense and uh this incarnation of brood edge is kind of morphing more into the devil
00:57:35.020 so i got some giant wings made dude sick i i had that in my notes for a thing i wanted to try you
00:57:41.480 had wings made yes i'm jealous see if you had drawn it instead of just they would have been
00:57:46.600 able to visualize so last year i was like all right if if i get to do this character again
00:57:55.260 this is what i'd like to do and then i had pitched the idea i was like if you got me and balor we
00:58:00.600 should we're missing an opportunity here if we don't do brood versus demon and do it in hell
00:58:05.340 in a cell so initially it was going to be at royal rumble i was like mania i mean it's right around
00:58:11.840 the corner maybe we should save it for that and uh so then i i started drawing wings and i have this
00:58:17.820 amazing woman uh sylvia jensen warren star she makes start she makes closer rock stars
00:58:23.400 and she made these wings do you have a can i see them yeah it's on my phone kp i actually really
00:58:32.520 want to see here here is my note can you hand can you hand him his phone dude we need at some
00:58:37.500 point kp will be on the podcast yeah i agree i got questions for kp all right here's my note
00:58:43.900 here's my note get shot up out of the tunnel with wings that spread like a maverick face away at
00:58:48.140 first then turn question mark question mark oh oh yes yeah oh they're perfect so that and then
00:59:02.020 i got this as well cool so but again in trying to explain i'm like okay so when the drums kick in
00:59:10.600 if there's a single spotlight and i'm going to be wearing this mirrored skull cowl and that's
00:59:16.820 look i get like wow you're gonna i don't i don't really grasp what you're talking about right now
00:59:22.680 and then after that when the lyrics kick in i'll do the wings and then if we have explosions there
00:59:27.580 and then it's graphic there's a bunch of souls yeah they're just if a bunch of souls are being
00:59:32.080 kicked to hell off of these cliffs that'd be really cool and it's like sure adam hey can we
00:59:39.420 get a medical professional yeah yeah and then you get these things in me and jesus who knows what
00:59:44.700 come on now you're going bro i uh good i i pitched i think i think on my first wrestlemania
00:59:52.380 ever i was like i want to come in on a zipline and they're like calm the fuck down
00:59:57.280 but then this wrestlemania they're making it happen i'm ziplining in there you go and it
01:00:03.020 almost didn't happen even this year i was told no and then i pushed back i was like is it like
01:00:08.440 a liability thing is it an insurance thing i'll sign whatever and uh kevin made it happen
01:00:13.380 it's the team the team's unbelievable they are they can make anything come to life and there's
01:00:19.180 been times where it's like i want to use this music and they're like well this is what it'll
01:00:21.920 cost i'll pay it like i'll pay it cool whatever you know because and you got slayer yeah that's 0.98
01:00:28.820 fucking yeah do you think you would ever do a live sex party i don't even know what that is 0.99
01:00:34.400 yeah right does it involve the love sack because i'm gonna say my wife probably wouldn't dig that 1.00

01:01:11.620 i figure at some point it's always coming no pun intended so my uh but now like where i'm at like 0.97
01:01:23.180 in terms of like i'm full-on dad yeah you know so when i think i'm like oh gosh dude that might

01:03:54.400 daughters it seems like it and it's called the wrestler's curse wait really is that what that's
01:03:58.100 the rock i think even triple h all girls just daughters daughters daughters although all of
01:04:03.840 that being said i realized that like i was again put here to be a girl dad the way i'm wired the
01:04:12.600 way i i i love it yeah well that father-daughter relationship is the crazy so man it also you also
01:04:20.880 realize like instantaneously oh i can murder someone yeah like i've never felt like this
01:04:27.280 oh yeah like i didn't know that chip was in me and i'm like oh it's there oh yeah because if 0.93
01:04:32.580 somebody touches these girls i'm gonna bite their throat out yeah brood the brood yeah like it's
01:04:38.920 and that's a weird thing to come to terms with but um but i sound like like a freak right now 0.93
01:04:48.820 every dad is like yeah dude i know what he's saying um jed jed listening to this he's like
01:04:54.760 yeah i know it's just yeah and and but god like it's so amazing like i know you always hear
01:05:03.000 parents say that and it's like well you don't know what it's like until you but man it's just
01:05:06.940 i won't say that because everybody has a different path and everybody has a different
01:05:10.160 you know like they're wired for different things man i was wired to be a dad for those two little
01:05:15.280 girls and it is amazing are you are you scandinavian at all yeah yeah what's the what's
01:05:21.500 bloodline so so i've never met my dad it's always just me and my mom so from my mom's side scottish
01:05:27.680 irish i did anything like your mom i know so i did the migratory path i did the dna whatever in
01:05:35.260 me and all that stuff so the migratory path is fenoscandia like 48 or 58 so sweden norway finland
01:05:44.100 then it goes down to the orkney isles the scottish orkney isles down to ireland across to iceland and
01:05:50.720 then to canada oh so you actually are a viking yeah i mean it makes sense we were watching this
01:05:54.880 documentary and my girlfriend was like he he he has a little scandinavian in him because she's
01:06:00.640 danish and i then i looked directly at her and i was like baby you you guys actually kind of look
01:06:05.980 alike yeah it's like you can watch a movie on my forehead like it's a viking it's a viking helmet
01:06:11.000 and not because i'm losing hair just because i got a big forehead speaking of losing hair someone i
01:06:16.120 wish that was on the show for the first time ever greg paul if greg paul sat next to this man dude
01:06:22.800 they would click yes no no no no no no they do they have a they have a vibe it's a vibe it's a

01:06:53.860 to you have to sometimes got to and seriously we live in the mountains so like there's all kinds
01:06:58.700 of critters we killed the snake once in front of mike and he was not having it mike mike's not a
01:07:03.200 hunter well it wasn't the killing part it was here i'll tell you why it was beyond the realm of what
01:07:09.900 i would consider to be a threat to the home yeah like it was way out so my thoughts generally are
01:07:14.540 like if it's out there like let it be sure but he but for good reason i didn't know this he uh 0.96
01:07:19.520 greg paul he wanted to eat the thing he fucking ate it he ate it that's his rule which is a great 0.88
01:07:25.660 rule i respect that heavily sure enough this was this is copperhead in the deck i was like nope 0.99
01:07:29.920 oh yeah oh no those gotta die no no this was this was a fucking rattlesnake which by the way 0.97
01:07:34.480 not that one obviously because it perished via the hands of greg paul ended up killing the two 0.99
01:07:39.380 his cats yeah these cats run around and take that chance it was it was on the property it wasn't
01:07:44.740 like in the woods he was like he was under he was under some stuff some wood yeah he was out in the
01:07:49.060 he owns uh uh ranch the name again timothy leary timothy leary's father so like so you'll be walking
01:07:57.700 around there and you'll see what that yes what has happened on that right insanity you'll like find
01:08:03.760 these like little huts with these like scrawled drawings on the wall and you try to put yourself
01:08:07.660 back to what was happening at that time what they had ingested yes and how they saw 100 million tabs 0.74
01:08:13.480 of acid were produced at that ranch was rated by the fbi they arrested seven hippies yeah they're
01:08:18.380 just like under a floor yeah it's got it i don't know we gotta find it we gotta find it take it
01:08:24.340 yo really quick because i know we're probably about to wrap i want to touch back on one thing
01:08:29.060 that you that you said today because i think it's really extremely important for the audience
01:08:33.160 you talked about that moment of uh credibility boost from from uh from a razor and from ultimate
01:08:40.200 warrior uh and and the time before that being this this being in this place where you're trying
01:08:47.660 to prove to yourself and you're trying to stick with something that there's there had to be parts
01:08:52.140 of that that you had doubt times where you had doubt in your mind and i want to just kind of
01:08:56.100 you know reinforce this with the audience you never know how close you are to getting that
01:09:01.160 credibility boost from doing something that makes people that are already in the space look at you
01:09:05.400 and say wow this person has something real to offer and so to those people who are out there
01:09:09.680 still in that space before getting that credibility boost keep going keep keep going out there in the
01:09:14.980 spandex because it could be right around the corner honestly for me the mindset was failure
01:09:20.320 is not an option i i truly like my everything told me i'm doing it yeah you know and i initially i
01:09:28.620 just wanted to do it because i loved it and i wanted to buy my mom a house right that that that
01:09:33.060 was the goal and did both of those and i was like wow all right this is let's see what else we can
01:09:41.500 do now you know and now to to being a dad and you know wrote a book and been on a bunch of tv shows
01:09:48.920 and stuff like i've done stuff that i didn't expect on top of all the stuff that i did expect
01:09:54.140 which come on you know so i'm i'm a lucky dude but uh and i hate to be that guy but i love my
01:10:03.260 life i really really do i love good for you good for you i wish everybody could feel the way i feel
01:10:10.460 yeah you know yeah no for sure good for you man i don't i don't i think we're we're in a weird
01:10:16.780 spot in society where like i'm not sure if happy people make other people happy anymore i feel i
01:10:26.020 feel like i feel like putting yourself out there and finding internal joy for some reason rubs a
01:10:33.300 lot of people the wrong way and i think it's i think it's nasty i think people are really maybe
01:10:38.320 feeling unsatisfied with their own personal life and feel the need to bring others down but like
01:10:43.440 coming from a place of love like i wish i wish that for everyone and and and don't be ashamed
01:10:48.620 to say good good for you for loving your life good for you for crafting a life that was uh
01:10:53.020 didn't have a blueprint and you made it work and you deserve you deserve all of it bro so
01:10:57.740 good for you well i thank you i appreciate that yeah yeah it was uh it's been a fun ride good
01:11:03.340 bro well i was gonna ask when when's uh when you're getting off the merry-go-round like how
01:11:07.460 much longer can you go before you got a retirement so i i don't want to stick around to the point
01:11:15.300 where it's like oh there he is yeah you know like wielding okay you gotta still go out we'll give
01:11:27.680 him the courtesy cheer ladies and gentlemen yeah i don't want to get there right now when i come
01:11:34.740 out now i i feel i feel the explosion and i feel like all of that to throw her at them and and
01:11:40.480 that's still there i don't know if that for me would ever go away you know um but i feel like
01:11:47.300 in this last run like the rocky balboa movie which i watched two nights before my comeback and i was
01:11:52.840 in tears because stallone's monologues in it were all things that were going through my mind
01:11:59.320 and i realized i got to get this out of the basement because i didn't have the chance to
01:12:04.160 it the way i wanted to this time i'm gonna get to do that and now i got two little girls that i
01:12:09.520 got to spend the rest of my life taking care of so i got a little wish list of of things that
01:12:16.400 are still to do um but it's not long and neither is the time yeah you know uh i think at most i
01:12:25.920 i might have another year in me to be able to do it at this level and still be able to do it at an
01:12:30.560 elite level where i can still hang when i got to get in with austin theory was 25 and you know he
