00:05:12.940 I am honored to have you on the show

00:05:15.480 Ladies and gentlemen, it's Randy Orton

00:05:16.880 Thank you

00:05:19.680 Thank you for having me, man

00:05:21.160 I appreciate it

00:05:21.860 Of course, man.

00:05:22.700 Thanks for having me on.

00:05:24.000 You are massive. 0.90

00:05:25.760 You are a massive human.

00:05:28.360 That's funny you say that,

00:05:29.820 considering all the guys you've met in the back.

00:05:32.180 There's some big boys back there.

00:05:34.280 It is cool walking around the backstage of WWE

00:05:37.660 and seeing all these people that are actual,

00:05:40.800 legitimate, true character giants in real life.

00:05:45.000 Have you met Omos?

00:05:46.560 Oh, yeah.

00:05:47.160 Biggest guy I've ever seen in my life.

00:05:48.140 And one of the nicest guys in the world.

00:05:50.420 and isn't that a nice like duo yeah like he could rip your limb from limb but he's the nicest guy

00:05:55.420 do you do you think that uh i was thinking about this the other day i was in an elevator and i'm

00:05:59.880 six three so you know it happens to me a little bit rarely you're a big boy yeah but somebody

00:06:04.700 came in and they were like six six right and i automatically felt a little bit like emasculated

00:06:11.780 oh sure by that do you think do you think height is a a major driver of male confidence i mean so

00:06:18.340 being tall myself like i'm glad i'm tall yeah you know what i mean i i think the answer would be yes

00:06:23.540 napoleon yeah yeah he would wouldn't he but i i think omas is walking around just about as

00:06:29.560 confident as confident to be but he's uh he's taking pictures with my kids um and i mean the

00:06:36.640 having a six-year-old stand next to a seven foot four four hundred pound man that's quite a

00:06:41.580 discrepancy there it's an awesome picture yeah you you would think that height often equates

00:06:47.740 to confidence but actually the one thing that i was watching on the plane right here was the uh

00:06:53.080 the evolution of a predator your your documentary that came out like 10 years ago okay and uh i was

00:06:58.980 surprised to hear that you weren't that confident of a kid even at even at 19 years old you said

00:07:06.000 you were working in a gas station the night shift at a gas station sure i just can't see that yeah

00:07:11.380 no i even now i think i have uh you know i don't think i you know when i walked through the curtain

00:07:17.560 there's a certain part of me that that changes and switches and i've i've had thousands and

00:07:24.380 thousands of matches and i've gotten to over time just kind of hone i guess the skill of of being

00:07:31.720 able to turn into that character you know when i go into the ring you're just turning it on

00:07:36.860 yeah i'm not like walking around every day you know i i think i had a chip on my shoulder when 0.79

00:07:41.560 i was in my 20s and i thought my shit didn't stink and you know i might that confidence was

00:07:45.820 just like armor you know um i i think you know i get just as nervous before i go out there as 0.98

00:07:52.800 anybody you know i heard you say you get more nervous doing media at least in the past in the

00:07:58.020 past well that doc uh that doc was 10 years old a lot of lives changed like i i've oh my god so

00:08:05.160 that's a that's a lifetime ago yeah for sure but still it's it's fascinating to me because as

00:08:10.380 someone who's very new to this sure i'm watching where you were and are and how you began and like

00:08:17.060 drawing the comparisons and of course you've you've personally reached out to me even um during

00:08:23.780 my wwe run thus far and i really appreciated it just giving me advice and yeah man you're doing

00:08:30.400 some crazy stuff out there but like uh i mean everybody i'm sure that you've had on that's in

00:08:36.540 our business tells you how amazing you're doing i don't i don't need to be gassed up but i i know

00:08:40.520 you don't and i'm not gonna but like uh like i i gotta point out um like the little things that

00:08:48.480 you're doing at this point already the ability and i think it was in saudi arabia is that where

00:08:53.440 you work ray yeah oh no no uh recently uh recently yeah yeah with ray okay so um he did a he did a 0.94

00:09:00.220 spot with you hold up i'm sorry give me can i get my fucking championship belt my bad i forgot that 0.97

00:09:06.200 You were even US champ. 0.98

00:09:07.420 I did.

00:09:08.420 Very important to help him.

00:09:09.320 My bad.

00:09:10.800 Because you haven't talked about it or shown it

00:09:12.300 on any pictures in a long time.

00:09:13.880 When I beat Ray Farrant Square in Saudi Arabia.

00:09:18.320 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:09:19.200 That's wild.

00:09:19.720 So anyways, continue complimenting me.

00:09:21.120 You caught him.

00:09:22.640 You caught him out of midair when you were a little farther back.

00:09:26.740 He came up a little short on like a springboard moonsault

00:09:29.620 or something.

00:09:30.120 Yep.

00:09:30.620 But you got under him.

00:09:31.440 Yep.

00:09:32.040 And you saved him.

00:09:33.240 You saved the spot.

00:09:34.200 And the way you got down on your hips, the hip mobility and the strength and the way you got up with them.

00:09:38.980 And he's not the biggest cat, but the predicament you were in and the way you got out of it was amazing.

00:09:44.240 A lot of guys, you know, wouldn't have been there for that.

00:09:47.200 I've seen guys, I'm not going to name any names, but I've seen guys that have, you know, completely missed guys or dropped guys in a situation like that.

00:09:55.600 So the fact that you knew what to do and in a tenth, a hundredth of a second you were there, that's impressive.

00:10:01.320 That's all the gassing you up.

00:10:03.160 thanks i was gonna ask you if that deviates at all from what your feelings were before you had

00:10:09.240 seen him perform because you guys have had a number of uh celebs and entertainers come into

00:10:14.760 the league over the years for sure social media influencers for sure and obviously not the case

00:10:21.180 anymore but when he was first coming in he was at the time listed as a losing boxer uh has been

00:10:27.960 state wrestler considered by many to be controversial did you make a list doesn't

00:10:32.280 talked to his mom enough poor diet a washington post article even listed him as the smallest 0.70

00:10:36.780 penis in the influencer space amazing how would they know that i don't know what was your initial

00:10:42.000 take on him prior i i didn't i didn't know a lot about the paul brothers specifically logan um

00:10:49.040 other than what so i've got five children and um my kids you know logan this logan that jake this

00:10:55.040 jake that so i had always heard his name in my household but i wasn't too familiar um when you

00:11:01.640 came backstage i think the first time we we met you looked me in the eye i could tell right away

00:11:07.540 that you wanted to be there i could tell right away and i know i'm sure a lot of guys have

00:11:12.060 talked about respect in our business i could tell like okay like i saw who logan paul was in that

00:11:18.960 split second and i was like all right he's good back here i could just tell i could just tell by

00:11:22.840 the way you shook my hand man you know that you were good to go and then of course like as we

00:11:26.820 were saying just got you're getting better and better and that's the way to go trying man trying

00:11:31.280 to learn from the greats i mean you your career has been amazing and i i look to all the superstars

00:11:36.220 in the wwe and i i try to take what i can and the one thing that i noticed about you and i think a

00:11:42.100 lot of the fans know it and see it and resonate it with resonate with it and love it is like

00:11:47.220 they can feel your passion i think maybe a little more than everyone else when you're out there you

00:11:53.800 can feel that shift like even even some of the things you do you're going viral right now for

00:11:59.500 for that ddt where you were like yeah yeah yeah yeah where does that come from what is that i

00:12:06.220 don't know man um so it's like that that fire inside you and i just i just let it out i uh

00:12:13.280 it's it's hard to explain it's kind of so a lot of guys and then gosh it's weird talking about

00:12:20.460 putting matches together um back in the day we would never be sitting here talking to each other

00:12:25.220 talking about how we put shit together but um when you have so many things you're thinking about 0.95

00:12:32.340 ahead of time like all those things with ray you had them burned in for sure it's hard to kind of 0.99

00:12:38.380 be in the moment if you go out there if you and me went out there and we had nothing laid out

00:12:43.880 except for kind of you know a beginning a middle and an end there'd be a lot of gaps to fill there'd

00:12:50.260 be plenty of time to be in the moment for me not having all these spots if you will to remember

00:12:57.380 um and and and it gives you the ability to be in the moment and be out there and actually listen

00:13:04.740 to the people what we do is is kind of you know get a temperature for the crowd and we can adjust

00:13:12.320 on the fly we can pivot when we want when you have everything laid out well it's a choreographed

00:13:17.920 dancing with the stars, you know,

00:13:19.780 I know where I'm going to be at this point in the match,

00:13:21.840 and, oh, he's got to duck this, duck that,

00:13:24.260 here we go, over the top, through the table, da-da-da.

00:13:26.600 You have the whole match laid out.

00:13:28.280 You're probably sleeping the night before,

00:13:30.340 dreaming about those spots.

00:13:32.400 You'll get to a level eventually

00:13:33.980 where you can go out there with some guys,

00:13:36.060 and you can show up an hour before the show,

00:13:39.460 talk very limitedly, and then go out there,

00:13:42.540 and then those people are going to get something else.

00:13:45.060 They're not going to get maybe the athleticism,

00:13:47.280 from a randy orton that they would from a logan paul but what i can bring to the table is that

00:13:53.140 emotion and what a lot of guys when you say that it's a little different with me than other guys

00:13:58.920 it's because i think most of those other guys are just thinking about what's next so that's the

00:14:06.760 difference that is the expert level in professional wrestling and i learned that coming in when i did

00:14:14.560 when i was 19 i signed with the wwe so i'm like the only guy that's never left and come back well

00:14:20.280 i other than john cena um but like i'm you know i'm gonna be here for the rest you know this is

00:14:26.000 this is me like i'm not moving on to hollywood i love what i do i i just had 18 months off

00:14:32.060 recovering from a spinal fusion so i was kind of faced with the fact that i might not be able to do

00:14:39.320 this again so it's it's almost like i got a second lease on on my career here and i'm i'm not going

00:14:44.840 to take a day for granted not a second in that ring for granted and and so now even now more so

00:14:51.040 than you know the matches you would have seen like a year ago when you first started or a couple years

00:14:55.580 ago when you first started like i'm feeling even more in my element now i mean you're looking at

00:14:59.500 too randy i gotta i gotta say the fans are going crazy on twitter you're tan you're yoked you look

00:15:05.540 you look probably the best you ever have arguably yeah i uh i changed a lot of stuff off this last

00:15:12.260 18 months i really needed the time i had a lot of you know ailments um of course i mean i couldn't

00:15:18.300 stand for more than a couple minutes without having pain shoot down my legs um when i would

00:15:23.600 sit i had a disc that was slipping every time i i would bend so you know on a plane sitting here

00:15:29.800 my feet would go numb and i'd have pain shooting down my legs oh it it really sucked it really was

00:15:34.500 hard um that last year before um i had to leave because of the back i was in a tag team with

00:15:42.420 uh former wwe superstar matt riddle and i got to give him props because that year we tagged

00:15:49.940 together i would i i was not able to be in that ring unless i was in there with someone like him

00:15:55.620 because he was able to take the brunt of the physicality he tagged me at the end i'd come in 0.93

00:16:00.900 do you know i'd do my shit and um you know if it wasn't for him i wouldn't have made it that far 0.92

00:16:06.680 but i had some great doctors they fixed me up right they didn't cut through any muscle which 0.98

00:16:11.140 would enable me to get back in the ring um because once you start cutting muscle like that's never

00:16:16.260 going to heal back like it's it's you're done so i got i'm just blessed all the way around

00:16:21.980 and uh blessed to have learned like the little tidbit of uh knowledge i gave from me i learned

00:16:27.200 that from guys like triple h sean michaels the undertaker um and and i'm so lucky to have gotten

00:19:15.520 Lisa, we should tell them about our new show.

00:19:18.820 Oh my God, Lexi, we have a new podcast.

00:19:21.540 It's called Don't Lie to Me.

00:19:22.700 I'm Lexi Iwanu.

00:19:24.300 We're two best friends, 22 years apart, but so close at heart.

00:19:28.580 And I'm Lisa DiGiulio, the old one,

00:19:30.900 which means we have wildly different references,

00:19:33.200 occasionally different opinions.

00:19:34.460 And at this point in my 50s, I've lived it all.

00:19:37.280 I'm not going to get anywhere fighting.

00:19:40.120 That is wild.

00:19:41.600 I learned that about you today.

00:19:44.220 Now in my 30s, being the founder of New Shoes,

00:19:47.400 Good Taste is my business.

00:19:49.380 And I've always got something to say.

00:19:51.560 If men were just honest about this,

00:19:53.680 there would be so much more peace in the world.

00:19:55.560 We're going to talk about dating, relationships, beauty,

00:19:58.780 getting older and a little wiser.

00:20:00.640 We're best friends, but we don't always agree.

00:20:03.000 Because you told us how accommodating you are.

00:20:05.500 Obviously, I would do what I think I could do to fight the fight,

00:20:08.920 but there's only so much fight I can fight.

00:20:10.480 don't lie to me don't lie to me don't lie to me don't lie to me don't lie to me don't lie to me

00:21:34.020 The DM.

00:21:34.300 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:35.420 you're you're leaving it all out there in the ring man and you've got so much going on for you

00:21:39.600 you know there's there's always another one there's always another one it's so funny though

00:21:43.440 because this is hilarious when you when you said that to me and even now like i'm taking the advice

00:21:49.420 i hear you but you know i still want to oh you're like jump off the highest i'm gonna leave it all

00:21:54.600 out there i i know you are and then in this documentary that i watched from 13 years ago

00:21:58.540 i heard you say the same thing yeah when arn anderson was like buddy you don't gotta go as

00:22:03.520 hard as you're going this is like longevity game right well and that's kind of my my big thing is

00:22:09.680 how long can i do it i'm i'm already the longest tenured wwe superstar in history um and and it

00:22:17.160 sounds weird because i'm 43 i just got started early um not that i'm a spring chicken or anything

00:22:23.100 now but but i i still feel like i got a lot of gas in the tank um longevity is everything for me

00:22:29.820 I started, I was one of the first guys to start traveling by bus.

00:22:34.620 Like, you know, guys rent cars, jump in a car four deep,

00:22:37.260 and they're driving 300 miles a night.

00:22:39.840 Your body can't recover.

00:22:41.580 The more bumps you take, the more time you need to recover,

00:22:44.560 the more you have to look at those things.

00:22:47.160 When I'm home, I got a team at home,

00:22:50.080 and I'm able to get everything I need to get done

00:22:52.200 so that I can recover and be ready for that next show.

00:22:55.420 On your Wikipedia, you talk about this career spanning 20 years.

00:22:58.940 you're widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time that's a

00:23:05.060 that's a a burden and a pressure what does that what does that mean to you that you read that

00:23:10.240 off wikipedia i was like why did you cite your source and it doesn't mean anything stupid anyone

00:23:16.540 could have wrote that it was in quotes it has to mean something so oh so it's true but your

00:23:22.080 response to that you know it's pretty obvious as to how you how you feel about it so like i've got

00:23:28.320 my favorites everyone's got their favorite well so what i was gonna say is everyone's got their

00:23:32.440 favorites i have no doubt there is a healthy amount of people out there that consider to me

00:23:37.780 for me to be one of the best but then there's a lot of guys out there that i'm not in their

00:23:43.620 mount rushmore well let's look at the scoreboard you've got 14 belts correct uh yeah yeah what

00:23:50.000 World titles, sure.

00:23:51.220 Too short of the record for most belts.

00:23:54.420 Is that what it is?

00:23:55.060 Of all time.

00:23:55.580 I think it's 16.

00:23:56.560 Is that Flair or Cena?

00:23:58.640 There's a tie.

00:23:59.480 That's a tie.

00:24:00.180 Correct.

00:24:00.760 So I might be tied with Hunter then at 14, too.

00:24:03.960 I think he has 14 world titles.

00:24:06.500 Would you like to hold that record?

00:24:08.720 Is it possible at this point in your career?

00:24:10.280 I want to do everything I can, man.

00:24:12.040 You know, longevity is always the number one goal for me.

00:24:15.100 And being able to go home, play with my kids, and not be in pain.

00:24:18.380 Right?

00:24:18.560 that that'd be the ultimate goal but you know as many accomplishments as i can accomplish in this

00:24:24.360 you know in wwe that i just the more the better i've already done so much so uh so far

00:24:30.920 it's kind of nice being in a position where i can watch other guys matches and maybe critique and

00:24:37.700 help and answer questions and and so for the first time in my career i find myself being a little bit

00:24:44.040 of uh gosh i don't even want to say the word um you know i guess a mentor to some people yeah you

00:24:49.460 know like like i can i can i can pull a guy aside kind of like i dm'd you you know i'll like hey 0.98

00:24:54.100 man careful you know don't go out there and end up in a wheelchair you got a lot of shit going on 0.68

00:24:59.160 you know it'd be you would you know be doing a lot of podcasts only podcasts only exactly like 0.91

00:25:05.240 like you just you always got to be thinking of that next one well i can tell you i appreciate

00:25:10.340 the advice and like that that knowledge only comes from people who have have done it and done

00:25:14.480 it at the highest level um the way that you have developed since you started is also highly

00:25:20.740 interesting it's it's really cool to hear that this passion sort of like developed for for

00:25:28.760 wrestling especially because you're a third generation wrestler i don't know if you know

00:25:32.040 this grandfather wrestled father wrestled massive wrestlers and very successful in their career

00:25:37.400 except you didn't you didn't you didn't have that that feeling to want to go do it even though it

00:25:43.440 was you know in in the lineage and then all of a sudden what changed that that that made you

00:25:50.360 want to do this you know forever and be Randy Orton yeah growing up in the business I was always

00:25:55.560 around it and I wasn't necessarily a fan until I was you know later on in high school and then

00:26:01.580 you know i started watching pay-per-views but i never like in uh in 98 97 98 you know i was a

00:26:08.860 junior and senior in high school and i'd watch this is when goldberg was doing his thing in the

00:26:13.620 undefeated streak yeah i mean i'd get with my buddies and i'd watch goldberg jackhammer you

00:26:18.820 know a guy through the ring oh my god goldberg and uh you know i'm 18 years old little did i

00:26:25.120 know four years later i'd be wrestling the guy insane insane like like i can't i still it blows

00:26:31.100 my mind uh but but but i never saw myself doing it my buddies would ask me and you know back to

00:26:37.640 that confidence i never ever thought that i could do what my dad did never i gotta ask the why man

00:26:44.440 you're six foot like what four two thirty like it it seems like everything's there the puzzle's

00:26:50.400 there it was all up here you know physically i felt like as far as an athlete i came into my own

00:26:56.820 you know after i started training for wrestling you know i'd played sports you know my whole life

00:27:02.440 but i never really excelled in any one thing i amateur wrestled from the fourth grade up through

00:27:07.860 high school but then i dropped it to play basketball i should have stuck with it yeah but

00:27:11.460 you went to state twice i did i did yeah i i i had a successful amateur wrestling career in high

00:27:18.620 school but like uh you know as far as some of these guys i mean i'm kurt angle olympic gold

00:27:24.980 medalist brock lesnar bro jesus brock you know and the list goes on shelton benjamin all these

00:27:30.100 guys they come from you know athletic i can never dream of being the athlete that they were so

00:27:35.180 especially back then like if anyone knew that i couldn't do it it was me you know and and i think

00:27:40.880 what happened is i gave the military a shot and that didn't go too well and then talk about that

00:27:48.680 and then uh and then the uh you know working midnights at the gas station that wasn't really

00:27:54.800 I wasn't really you know that wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be um so I was legitimate

00:28:02.000 legitimate I'm 19 and I'm like hey dad what do you think yeah could you give somebody a call

00:28:09.320 could I give this wrestling thing and he's like oh son I our name's been blackballed from this

00:28:14.240 business and i guess you know he used to get in a little bit of a trouble my uncle wrestled as well

00:28:21.200 uh rest in peace uncle barry but but um you know so he didn't think i they were going to welcome

00:28:27.120 me with open arms or anything and it was the opposite in fact they were like oh my god bob

00:28:31.360 you got a son jesus and my father still is highly regarded as one of the best back in his generation

00:28:38.320 So for him to have a kid, and at the time, I believe the only other generational guy was The Rock, really, that was making any waves as a third-generation superstar.

00:28:50.000 So, you know, here's another third-generation superstar, Bruce Prichard, Vince McMahon, all those guys.

00:28:55.240 They looked at that and were like, okay, let's start training this guy, see what we can get.

00:28:59.980 And that's where the confidence started to grow.

00:29:02.320 i mean the people you were training with are among like literally the the best that yeah the

00:29:08.720 business has ever had john cena blessed i was so blessed to be down there with guys like that uh

00:29:14.280 batista shelton benjamin was down there um uh gosh was lesnar there at one point oh lesnar oh yeah 0.92

00:29:20.600 oh yeah i remember the day he came we were like what the fuck what is what is that yeah yeah i 0.97

00:29:26.560 remember so we're all we're all talking shit you know under our breath and and and and and here he 0.99

00:29:33.040 comes and back then there wasn't all you know we had one ring in a shitty warehouse and there was 0.74

00:29:37.820 like 12 of us so here comes lesnar we knew he was coming we get in practice we start doing the rope

00:29:43.740 running drills where you just you know you just burn you just go and um he didn't hook the top

00:29:49.900 rope as i'm sure you've been told make sure you get the arm over that top rope otherwise you're 0.99

00:29:54.700 gonna end up in the bleachers and sure enough that motherfucker um he leapt out of the ring 0.99

00:30:01.920 between the second third rope and took out like 20 metal chairs and then just popped up dusted 0.99

00:30:07.840 himself off and was like i bet y'all would like to see that again we were like it's cool you know

00:30:16.900 do your thing you know but uh but like yeah i was down there with some amazing athletes and i learned

00:30:22.860 so much do you think that talent exists today like where where are the people that look like

00:30:29.780 you and john cena and batista and brock lesnar we got austin theory he's pretty ripped what is

00:30:37.400 just a size thing that you're talking about i don't look at the athleticism right now i feel

00:30:42.020 the athleticism true but well i think there's a lot of guys that get it um there's a lot of guys

00:30:48.500 that get it i almost don't want to start naming names because then i'll feel bad i'll leave out

00:30:53.200 you know a lot of guys and and and the list is too long as far as like guys we got now that could be

00:31:00.160 great one day you know it's it's amazing man like if you look back at stone cold steve austin when

00:31:05.700 he was stunning steve before he became stone cold steve austin as you know you know he looked a

00:31:11.580 little different yeah he moved a little different he had long blonde hair he wasn't the same stone

00:31:16.120 called steve austin you never know man we got a lot of gems in the back and it's just gonna take

00:31:21.340 you know the right amount of pressure to turn them into a diamond man that's one of the coolest

00:31:25.900 things about this business is the ability to evolve oh yeah and and and have these arcs um

00:31:32.960 even recently with with dominic mysterio oh my god i'm so proud of him because i did my first

00:31:38.220 wrestlemania against him and ray right and i remember thinking like how is this kid gonna

00:31:44.780 get out of his dad's shadow like nothing about him as far as i can tell it right now is is like

00:31:50.700 super wow factor and then he just grew out that mullet and became the most hated person in the

00:31:56.640 w i think the longer the mullet is directly correlated to the heat i think it's all because

00:32:02.160 of the mullet i really do no he uh so his dad and i are tight and uh you've worked with ray you met

00:32:11.020 Ray Ray's you know he's probably the only guy back there that's friendlier than Omos you know

00:32:16.680 um and uh just Ray took care of me back in the day and um for me so I wrestled Dom last Friday

00:32:25.060 night on Raw I don't know if you guys saw it or not for sure but uh I was it was such a pleasure

00:32:30.740 to be out there with him and and to uh just to get to be out there knowing like oh my god I know

00:32:37.320 your dad's at home watching like i want to make your dad proud you know like it was it was a

00:32:41.840 great feeling i am so proud of dom as well and i know exactly what you're talking about when he

00:32:46.660 first started coming up and ray brought him around it's like oh what do we do this kid needs another 0.61

00:32:53.200 fucking 10 years and and you know he needs to go fight in a war or something to come back 0.79

00:32:59.160 like there was something about well he did get the tattoos the tattoos helped and don't forget 0.98

00:33:04.420 the mullet yeah of course but but like it's just he's he's got it now but it happened so quick it

00:33:11.440 did it happens it happened really quick for him i think the feud with his dad oh well that was it

00:33:17.380 that set it off and i remember that night and i texted ray and dom that night i i want to say he

00:33:22.360 either uh clotheslined his father or kicked his dad in the nuts but ray is such a lovable guy

00:33:29.000 and for him to you know and we all grew up 20 years ago fans saw dominic on television he was

00:33:35.600 involved in storylines so everyone saw this cute little kid man and now here he is and he's

00:33:40.940 disrespecting his father whom we adore yeah boo still still still to this day after i took

00:33:47.160 the u.s title off of ray mysterio which i did in in saudi arabia u.s champ right there uh uh i said 0.99

00:33:54.400 to dom backstage i was like your dad's a legend man he goes yeah fuck that guy 0.64

00:33:59.380 isn't but isn't him finding his like zone similarly to you just a testament of like 0.98

00:34:09.400 having to try shit in life like you tried this is for the audience watches even the people that 0.53

00:34:14.780 aren't for some reason wwe fans you you had this confidence issue maybe dom had this confidence 1.00

00:34:20.680 issue you know you tried basketball you tried you know working the night shift at the gas station

00:34:25.120 and then you found your thing because you tried it because you went against everything that your 0.99

00:34:31.220 lack of confidence told you inside your no disrespect massive fucking head right which was 0.96

00:34:36.940 which was i'm too scared or i'm not good enough or i don't have the ability to do this 0.98

00:34:41.020 and you did it anyways right and that first step led you to getting a little bit of experience a

00:34:47.140 little bit of credibility which then led you to getting that confidence you know which is which

00:34:51.560 is such a beautiful ladder and storyline for for life and and can you only imagine if you had

00:34:59.020 eating well shouldn't be complicated but somehow it turns into recipes prep cleanup and half your

00:35:04.900 sundae gone factor solves all that these are fresh ready-to-eat meals designed by dieticians

00:36:29.460 Lisa, we should tell them about our new show.

00:36:32.740 Oh my God, Lexi, we have a new podcast.

00:36:35.120 It's called Don't Lie to Me.

00:36:36.920 I'm Lexi Iwano.

00:36:37.760 We're two best friends, 22 years apart, but so close at heart.

00:36:42.520 And I'm Lisa DiGiulio, the old one, which means we have wildly different references,

00:36:47.120 occasionally different opinions.

00:36:48.440 And at this point in my 50s, I've lived it all.

00:36:51.600 I'm not going to get anywhere fighting.

00:36:54.060 That is wild.

00:36:55.480 I learned that about you today.

00:36:58.040 Now in my 30s, being the founder of New Shoes, Good Taste is my business.

00:37:03.260 And I've always got something to say.

00:37:05.500 If men were just honest about this,

00:37:07.620 there would be so much more peace in the world.

00:37:09.500 We're going to talk about dating, relationships,

00:37:11.920 beauty, getting older, and a little wiser.

00:37:14.580 We're best friends, but we don't always agree.

00:37:16.920 Because you told us how accommodating you are.

00:37:19.440 Obviously, I would do what I think I could do

00:37:21.700 to fight the fight,

00:37:22.840 but there's only so much fight I can fight.

00:37:24.960 Don't lie to me.

00:37:25.780 Don't lie to me.

00:37:27.080 Don't lie to me.

00:38:59.600 Taking that first step and how important that is to your journey.

00:39:02.480 Yeah, no, I, it's, it's all about taking that first leap, doing something that, that you're scared to do. And I try to, you know, teach my kids, especially my older sons that like, you gotta do what's uncomfortable sometimes, you know, like you have to make yourself uncomfortable. And when your body's in that state, when your mind's in that state, that's when you grow, that's when you learn, that's when you become resilient, you know, you know, who likes going to the gym?

00:39:29.680 you know if you enjoy going to the gym you're probably not doing it right you're probably going

00:39:36.460 to the gym you're probably going to the gym when everyone gets off work and the girls are in there

00:39:43.220 and you're like yeah hey you know but if you're in the dungeon and you're by yourself and you're

00:39:47.520 sweating with your homie and you guys are pushing through it and you're working and you're not in

00:39:51.860 there three hours but you're in there an hour and a half but you're going balls to the wall i'm sure

00:39:57.320 like with the boxing training like you know the difference between training and training dude i

00:40:01.700 don't like training i've always been vocal about that it really sucks it's hard but the payoff

00:40:06.820 that separates the men from the boys that that's that's where you find out who's who and i found

00:40:13.880 extreme pleasure in that that's the that's the motivating factor of course you know yeah i'm in

00:40:19.320 there i don't i don't want to be in there but that jumping that hurdle will pay off

00:40:24.860 in in substantial ways in the future and I know that and it keeps me going yeah hell yeah um

00:40:31.240 how did you develop the RKO so did you ever meet John Laurinaitis so he was head of talent relations

00:40:41.140 um when for the majority of my career he used to do a move called the ace crusher very very similar

00:40:49.400 to the rko diamond dallas page who i'm sure you're familiar with he did uh the diamond cutter um both

00:40:56.580 those moves inspired me and in one way or another for me to come up with with the rko and and

00:41:04.160 essentially what it was is i blew my shoulders out early in my career i've had three shoulder

00:41:09.040 operations um so i if you you can go back and very rarely will you ever see me pick a guy up

00:41:18.220 like if you look in the last 10 years other than like a ray mysterio or a dom i don't pick guys up

00:41:26.780 i don't do power moves i don't it's like a mobility thing uh yeah it's just me because

00:41:31.420 i don't need to do it okay so i could pick up a guy and slam him my shoulders are healthy and fine

00:41:36.800 but when i blew him out early on in my head i got it to where okay i got to protect my shoulders

00:41:42.140 so i go way overboard in protecting my shoulders because you know i don't want to be on the shelf 0.71

00:41:48.340 with another shoulder injury but i know that i don't need to do it um and uh i think shit i

00:41:55.760 forget where i was going there but diamond dallas page shoulders you don't pick how you develop 0.66

00:42:00.620 so i needed a move that i could do to everybody that didn't that i could do you know ray mysterio

00:42:06.720 Rey Mysterio

00:42:08.320 or Omos

00:42:09.180 or

00:42:09.440 we're like

00:42:12.060 what is it

00:42:13.420 Crossing Swords

00:42:14.360 Crossing Swords

00:42:15.260 I don't want to say

00:42:15.800 sorry

00:42:16.940 that's alright

00:42:17.940 no biggie

00:42:18.900 no he didn't want to say

00:42:19.720 you can say it

00:42:20.520 he's just the host

00:42:21.560 so he likes to keep it

00:42:23.000 kosher

00:42:23.400 Cross Swords all day 0.90

00:42:24.440 with you

00:42:24.700 thanks for anyone

00:42:25.980 yeah

00:42:26.420 are we on

00:42:27.980 is this live

00:42:28.520 this is live

00:42:29.600 but yeah

00:42:30.180 I wanted to be able

00:42:31.620 to do that

00:42:32.760 you know

00:42:33.760 finishing move

00:42:34.560 to everybody

00:42:35.200 yeah

00:42:35.600 and

00:42:36.020 and that was the best choice dude it's so good when i was running around my amateur high school 0.76

00:42:42.880 um wrestling room right the kids before practice sure are running around rko-ing the shit out of

00:42:50.160 each other yeah dude i knew what the rko was before i knew about you like like the move in 0.53

00:42:57.020 many ways like has this this life of its own yeah and to have a finisher that significant has got

00:43:02.960 to feel awesome like i it really does it's it's it's hard to come up with something that

00:43:10.680 significant to work backwards and be like i want to i want to do something this special but what

00:43:15.800 does it look like and like i'm in that developmental feel like what's really cool about

00:43:20.640 this place is you it's you can't really do that you can't work backwards with something like that

00:43:26.100 you can sure as hell try and you can maybe get lucky but a lot of the things that happen in our

00:43:32.280 business that like catch fire with the fans i feel like it's organic super yeah yeah it's what

00:43:38.080 i it's what i found i was just looking for a move that i could do to everybody in my head did i go

00:43:42.500 oh i'm gonna i'm gonna tailor make this move to be the biggest thing the biggest move in the wwe and

00:43:47.860 no i was just like man what can i do where i ain't gonna hurt myself and i apply it to anybody

00:43:53.420 yeah yeah and it's a it's a simple like it is relatively once again no disrespect it's a cutter

00:43:59.380 comparatively i grew up watching like ahmed johnson the pearl pearl river plunge is like a

00:44:05.180 freaking insane like right lifting over the back of the head dropping move yeah like you know it's

00:44:12.360 oddly enough a lot of the biggest finishers like the tombstone are relatively like simple i think

00:44:18.700 that's part of it yeah because like you yes i was just gonna say that on the pillows that's very

00:44:24.420 true it's it's you know if you got a pool in the backyard all the kids can do it in the pool the

00:44:28.900 trampoline under off the couch under the you know the cushions on the floor i think that's a very

00:44:33.880 good point honestly that might be my starting point yeah oh yeah how can people recreate make

00:44:38.060 it simple right i think it's the only trending tiktok sound that a wwe finish i had a look out

00:44:46.680 look out i had one of my most viral vines yeah the soundtrack was hey look out it's randy horton

00:44:52.860 slithering in watch out watch out watch out and i did it to my friend i did it to my friend marcus

00:44:57.220 john's into a pool one of my most viewed vines of all time that's that's really cool to know and

00:45:01.920 you know so so that's another thing it wasn't all just me like you said you knew about the rko before

00:45:06.620 you knew who i was and that it was essentially my initials um the uh the memes that took took on i

00:45:14.020 mean like 10 years ago i feel like somebody out there whoever it is thank you so much but uh

00:45:20.560 somebody started doing those things and then memes that they started making this popping up

00:45:25.920 popping up what'd you say it was elon thank you elon um building rockets let me make this mean

00:45:33.540 yeah yeah but but like it just you know i said earlier i was blessed you know to get you know

00:45:41.440 born into this get the opportunity through my father you know same with with the memes like

00:45:47.020 just that bolstered boosted up my my character and made me more important made my value you know my

00:45:54.340 brand more important like a lot of people do a cutter but um you know when i hit mine it's like

00:46:00.620 oh that's that's the cutter it's one of the things that i think also differentiates you

00:46:07.200 from other superstars is like you you have infiltrated culture in a really like internet

00:46:12.120 specific way sure that works even even just your last performance at war games right like dude it's

00:46:19.960 All I'm seeing is just Randy Orton stuff.

00:46:22.000 Randy Orton's return.

00:46:23.520 Even though, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah.

00:46:26.020 As soon as I saw it, I was like, he's back in another moment.

00:46:29.560 What's funny about what you're talking about, the gah, gah, gah, gah.

00:46:33.960 As soon as that dropped, I think my wife sent it to me,

00:46:37.400 and then one of my sons sent it to me, and then I'm sending it to my mom,

00:46:40.660 and my mom's laughing and sent it to my aunt.

00:46:42.860 So I know exactly what you're talking about.

00:46:44.320 Yeah, it's so organic and easy to send.

00:46:47.100 I'm going to do it, Randy.

00:46:48.140 Yeah.

00:46:48.380 I'm going to do it, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah.

00:46:49.500 Yeah, yeah, do it, do it, baby.

00:46:51.120 Your RKOs, just don't want to put a button on this.

00:46:55.920 Some of them are incredible.

00:46:57.400 You did one at War Games against a bobblehead guy.

00:47:00.860 Oh, yeah, JD.

00:47:01.940 Yeah, JD.

00:47:02.920 Sorry, bro.

00:47:03.720 No, he knows.

00:47:05.540 I just met him Saturday in Chicago,

00:47:07.600 and he was very well aware that he had a large head.

00:47:10.920 Yeah.

00:47:11.160 Yeah, he knew, he knew.

00:47:11.980 You know, some people are just built like that anyway.

00:47:15.540 Right, right.

00:47:16.300 And then the one up.

00:47:16.960 He's built different, built different.

00:47:18.460 Built different, brother.

00:47:19.500 you're built different yeah the one uh uh seth rollins that oh yeah that was one that was one

00:47:25.720 of the coolest ones it's got to be one of your favorites yeah or he stepped on your back it's

00:47:29.060 it's up there yeah yeah and and i can't so when it comes to the timing i'll take the credit on that

00:47:35.160 but but when it comes to getting there um i gotta give all that credit to seth you know um you know

00:47:41.520 i i gave him a base to jump off of but but he had to run towards me redirect go straight up off the

00:47:48.400 back and give me and give me enough hang time give himself enough hang time i should say for me to

00:47:54.600 go from being bent way the fuck over to getting out from underneath seeing him and dropping and

00:48:01.160 if he would have been just a little off the whole move would have not went down uh or if it went 0.66

00:48:08.180 down it wouldn't have been pretty you know and it would have been on me you know i would have took

00:48:12.740 the the criticism on that so so i got to give guys like seth and all the other guys that have

00:48:17.640 done the springboards in where i catch them and even jd bobblehead jd it was great yeah no it's

00:48:23.160 i watch his i watch that move a lot um with jd and even just the way he just flat stomach bump

00:48:30.400 is insane from the from the top of the cage yeah i like i've never been able to never will be able

00:48:36.700 to do that for sure does anybody ever ask you to rk ohm in public places like oh yeah yeah yeah

00:48:43.440 yeah all the time oh boy he said uh he while we were walking up here he's like i want randy to

00:48:47.960 rko me we should i mean do these cushions come off we could make a little area in the corner

00:48:54.260 over there like at bars if you're you probably don't go to bars very much you're a family man

00:48:58.980 but uh you know whole foods for example oh yeah in the granola aisle does anyone ever all the time

00:49:04.560 So, like, my oldest daughter, Alana, she plays varsity volleyball.

00:49:12.540 And because it was on the tail end of my recovery,

00:49:15.480 I was able to go and watch a lot of her games this season.

00:49:19.860 And, I mean, we're at high schools.

00:49:21.800 A lot of the high school kids will go.

00:49:23.720 And, you know, I was taking pictures and signing autographs

00:49:27.040 for the high school kids, and they were great, right?

00:49:30.660 Very respectful.

00:49:31.420 um always you know every five minutes you know hey man rko me because they wanted

00:49:38.160 oh god they want to get yeah as a matter of fact like in between uh volleyball sets a big huddle

00:49:46.180 of high school kids went down on the court and i i kind of i saw it in my peripheral i didn't know

00:49:51.880 what was going on and i kind of just at the last second i caught it but one kid rko the other kid

00:49:56.860 on the court and then espn like so so the uh the high school like journalist kid was taking the

00:50:05.800 video right he posted it asked my permission but like espn picked it up sports center picked it up

00:50:11.800 because when he's filming his friends do the rko then they zoom in on me oh that's cool yeah and i

00:50:17.920 and i'm kind of like you know picking my nose i'm like you know i just give a thumbs up and it's

00:50:22.520 like you know the voice in the background when you rko your friend in front of randy wharton

00:50:26.880 and and and um you know so so yes you know i get i get asked a lot social media even right there

00:50:35.980 just kind of evidenced it has helped your career a lot what are your thoughts on on social media

00:50:40.680 from a more holistic standpoint do the kids all have uh instagram accounts what age did they get

00:50:45.700 okay so so on so forth yeah um talking about my kids of course um so my oldest is 21 yep so so

00:50:54.200 he's doing his thing he actually graduates from uh new york film academy in uh a week two weeks

00:51:00.160 yeah yeah congrats congrats um so yeah he's right down the street as we speak um but uh yeah my

00:51:07.660 younger kids no no my like you know my my six-year-old uh she just turned seven her name's

00:51:13.640 Brooklyn she's got her iPad you know and I got I hate admitting this on air but like it's a hell

00:51:21.360 of a tool when you need to get something done I've been there it's like hey here's the iPad

00:51:26.780 and then you know here's the iPad and then here's the next thing you know it's like hey give me the

00:51:31.220 iPad and she turns into the devil and it's like oh what have I done I'm a bad parent but but I

00:51:37.400 think it's just a crutch that us parents kind of find ourselves needing what was the TV it was

00:51:43.140 sesame street at one point yeah there's always been a tool don't beat yourself up too bad yeah

00:51:47.220 and and i won't trust me well you could if you wanted to i wouldn't be able to feel any of those

00:51:53.880 punches i'd be i'd be so good man um but but uh but yeah yeah i was at a i was at a dinner the

00:52:01.720 other night and uh there were kids playing with real toys at the table like multiple and i thought

00:52:06.540 wow that's crazy recently i've just been seeing parents hand their kids like an ipad or something

00:52:11.880 I actually don't think there's anything wrong with that, especially because, like, the way technology is evolving.

00:52:16.580 If you can have a technologically savvy young adult, especially because kids are getting smarter faster.

00:52:23.480 Yeah, I agree.

00:52:24.100 Have you noticed that phenomenon?

00:52:25.140 Oh, 100%.

00:52:26.100 And I think, like, with the YouTube and the social media and stuff, it's like an attention span thing.

00:52:33.560 But I feel like, you know, they want that reward quickly, you know, it feels like.

00:52:39.780 um and then you know swipe reward well that's that's a problem because that's the problem but

00:52:44.980 as far as what you're talking about um you know i i can tell that she kind of gets it you know when

00:52:50.620 she was very young the fact that she could go into the settings and change this and that was

00:52:56.180 impressive impressive to me you know and i feel like you know finger dexterity and things like

00:53:00.620 that and and um i play video games myself uh right now yeah brother what do you play what do

00:53:07.080 play uh so that call of duty drop i'm playing the zombies yeah oh yeah the new zombies the war

00:53:12.680 zones or whatever but i'm also like 50 hours deep into starfield oh yeah it's it's cool i you know

00:53:20.620 what my wife's amazing she gives me that you know that good hour a night dude i was gonna say how

00:53:24.900 does the wife feel about she's cool she don't mind oh yeah she don't mind she definitely tells

00:53:29.020 you to get off it at some point she'll well so here's the thing i'll hand her the ipad

00:53:32.720 and then she'll start buying i'm sorry and then and then she'll start going through amazon buying

00:53:41.300 shit and she's happy so on your credit cards of course but i was gonna say for you or for your 0.88

00:53:48.820 wife with the ipad it's a little bit different because you talked about kids like learning 0.99

00:53:52.820 faster nowadays the the the downside and the detriment is there's a massive study just came

00:53:58.800 out recently from from the workforce that these these employers are looking at these these youthful

00:54:05.080 employees coming in they don't know how to make eye contact they don't know any of the general

00:54:09.580 rules of of of in-person conversation they've they were born looking at screens they look at

00:54:15.540 screens on zoom all day they learn through screens and they don't have the general functionality

00:54:20.860 that is needed for day-to-day conversation and so while kids are learning faster nowadays they're

00:54:27.500 also unlearning some very very important i would agree tactical life skills yeah and i see it too

00:54:34.900 i see it too it's it's uh it's kind of scary but it's also like we're evolving and things

00:54:41.720 are changing and like look i don't want to sit here like when i was a kid you know i'd go outside

00:54:45.920 and i'd you know like how much of that is how much of that is needed how much like trust me i'm i'm

00:54:51.320 as far as advancements go i'm a relatively liberal person in terms of the world changes people

00:54:56.240 changes like catch up or get left behind but like how much do we have to defend some rightful need

00:55:01.940 to go outside well you know like and then the pandemic really screwed all those kids up like

00:55:08.080 my daughter was was god was she two or three god we had to go so we went to disney world

00:55:13.920 and i'm thinking like you know i'll do this vip gimmick and we'll get taken care of like man we

00:55:19.960 were in masks couldn't take them down to take pictures and this the fact that she couldn't 0.65

00:55:24.940 even go there and she had to cover up and you know just like being in school she went to a

00:55:30.480 Montessori school and um you know up until she was uh four and you know not being able to see

00:55:36.920 the teacher's faces and not be able to be as social and really depersonalizing yeah and I'm

00:55:41.660 talking pandemic but then like you add during the pandemic you know all these these devices in their

00:55:48.120 hands and then they're just mask on head down pen you know going on ipad crazy like it's it is a

00:55:55.320 little scary i think i think the the whole social uh you know just being socially awkward you know

00:56:01.080 that's anxiety yeah it's just it's a really big it's it's funny there's that uh show at the or

00:56:07.560 doc called the social experiment that's what it is we are living in it we are the social experiment

00:56:12.260 of course the testing grounds for a whole new way of life and a whole new you know evolution of our

00:56:17.000 species where we are now part man part machine right and i think the only thing you really can

00:56:21.900 do is try to have some sort of uh um oversight on what they're looking at like if you're if you're

00:56:29.500 14 year old kid or 12 year old kid is spending time on x formerly known as twitter right they

00:56:34.860 are watching video after video of school shootings of of of beat downs in schools knifings terrible

00:56:41.100 terrible stuff i mean at that age i was watching doug funny and rugrats or whatever you know

00:56:45.340 Whatever was the next at 12 or 14, you know, probably something else.

00:56:49.000 But I guess you really have to kind of monitor what's on that screen.

00:56:51.500 Yeah, like you said, oversight, like who's deciding what's okay.

00:56:56.580 Well, I think it's the parents, you know.

00:56:59.180 It has to be.

00:56:59.580 When it comes to the kids and you just have to be vigilant

00:57:02.820 and know what they're watching, you know, like, gosh, you know.

00:57:07.980 I remember when I was a kid, when I was, you know, probably 12, 13,

00:57:12.120 you know, I used to go get my hair cut at my grandpa's barber,

00:57:15.100 you know and he'd take me every couple weeks and i'd get my hair cut and there was a couple playboys

00:57:19.260 for sure rip a page out fold it up tuck it you know and i think over the course of of uh the

00:57:28.020 few years i had a half a dozen playboy centerfolds and you got my position you got to see a couple

00:57:33.420 boobs and i got to see some boobs but like look at what the access is not like even in that same

00:57:39.060 note it's like i'll go to the video store and sneak into the back section they'd have this 0.95

00:57:42.020 this section called faces of death right oh i remember faces yeah yeah you know section where

00:57:48.260 you could potentially see someone get a limb severed but yeah you'd have to sneak it hide it

00:57:52.920 like this and that right now you just open the most popular social media engine on the planet

00:57:57.160 and you're looking at there's women in the room but you're looking at much deeper than playboy

00:58:02.400 type things deeper good yeah yeah deeper than playboy and you're looking at you know all kinds

00:58:06.460 of stuff so yeah i think oversight is really the important thing but you now you're a good parent

00:58:11.420 oh yeah you're now a role model well i'll you're a role model you're you know a an icon in the

00:58:19.480 sport but were you always no no i want to i want to ask you some vulnerable questions do you do 0.97

00:58:25.480 you think at some point in your career you were a dick yes yeah 100 percent i uh 100 but but that 0.98

00:58:36.560 was like excuse me that was like my armor i was i was a asshole i think because i wanted people to 0.99

00:58:46.440 to respect me maybe i like i'm i don't know i don't know i just know that i grew out of that

00:58:52.980 phase and i thank god that i did but i see like footage you know that um i didn't know the camera

00:58:59.880 was rolling maybe at that autograph signing and there's an interaction with a fan and it's picked

00:59:04.740 up and then now they're doing this doc on a and e that they just kind of are finishing up and i've

00:59:10.240 seen some of this footage from 10 15 years ago and i'm like oh my god like that's horrible you

00:59:17.440 know um but like that's that's just kind of who i was i i i it wasn't coming from a place of

00:59:24.380 confidence i think it was coming from a place of like it was my armor man like that i was an 0.94

00:59:29.660 asshole and then maybe i would get respect that way maybe it was a little bit of fear and i took 0.96

00:59:34.340 at his respect and either way i was fine with it you know but luckily i was given a second third 0.86

00:59:40.800 fourth chance you know um from vince mcmahon coming up when i would get in trouble or i would

00:59:46.000 have to you know get sent away for a couple months or i would have to get fined a second or third

00:59:50.540 time and i just blessed like i am so blessed i just had the right guys in there to kind of you 0.95

00:59:58.280 know yank my ass straight and make sure that i was walking a straight line with the times that i did

01:00:02.740 veer off triple h was one of those oh yeah yeah um yeah yeah 100 he was he was that rock it seemed 0.98

01:00:11.380 like for sean michaels as well yes so it's it's crazy it's he just seems like a just a stellar

01:00:17.860 human as a friend and now a boss he is he's very smart but but um you know with the business

01:00:24.680 business smart like you have any questions with wrestling you go to him yeah and then you're

01:00:29.440 gonna get a good answer um or at least it's gonna you know spark you know something of your own to

01:00:34.160 come out of the woodwork but but as far as like a human being like i went to his wedding i've kind

01:00:40.480 of seen him evolve and he has three girls and uh his his oldest girl is just a few years older than

01:00:46.340 mine um so we have that in common and and but i think recently for him because he had the health

01:00:54.240 scare and everything i think he realizes how important time family time is and that's one

01:01:00.400 thing that has changed i think uh you know back in the day you know you were missing birthdays

01:01:05.280 you were missing anniversaries you were missing holidays you know and there was no

01:01:09.420 either way about it like you were gonna miss you wouldn't even ask for off now

01:01:14.420 there's leniency there now he'll make sure that you can get home for the birth of your baby or

01:01:20.520 he'll make sure that you can get home for that birthday because he understands now how important

01:01:24.220 that is and i think company-wide that that's been a change for the better yeah absolutely no he's he's

01:01:29.680 he's a great leader man he does he doesn't he is the boss but he doesn't feel like a boss doesn't

01:01:34.720 feel like a boss he's like a collaborator well so so he was he was uh one of the boys you know

01:01:39.800 when when i was introduced to him you know when i was 20 he was one of the boys and to me he'll

01:01:45.120 always be more so one of the boys than purely office and i think that's because i know that

01:01:52.420 i can trust him and that he's going to steer me in the right way so and that's usually you know

01:01:56.560 you got your clique of guys that you know have your back you know he's one of those guys for me

01:02:01.180 um i know you have a time limit the last thing i want to ask before we get you out of here

01:02:04.900 for uh smackdown tonight is uh i know you're big with the uh the troops i know you uh are a massive

01:02:10.380 troop supporter you spent a lot of time um there is that is that because of the time you spent in

01:02:15.740 the military is it just respect you have for for people defending our country it has nothing to do

01:02:20.040 with the time that i spent in the military um but being involved with uh the tribute to the troop

01:02:25.560 shows and the things that we've done in meeting our troops especially when we flew over to the

01:02:29.380 middle east like i was 25 26 27 and we were flying over there like like we were in the middle of it

01:02:36.800 It was pretty intense, but Vince was right there with us.

01:02:39.780 And, you know, we like slept in one of Saddam's son's palaces, you know, that they had taken over, conquered, emptied out and turned into a forward operating base.

01:02:50.320 And we're like sleeping in this giant room with like gold trim on the ceilings and 40 foot, you know, entryways like like just going over there and seeing that and seeing like, you know, how hard those people had it.

01:03:03.620 and how, you know, our guys were over there helping out

01:03:06.340 and putting their life on the line to do so.

01:03:08.840 Like, anybody out there that's putting their life on the line for other people,

01:03:13.480 like, how could you not have just the utmost respect for them?

01:03:16.540 So, yeah.

01:03:17.400 So whenever I get an opportunity to do something with the military

01:03:22.420 or for the military, more than happy.

01:03:24.740 But my passion more so lies in the kids and meeting the Make-A-Wish kids

01:03:30.200 and just knowing how much of an effect I have on meeting

01:03:35.480 just a regular 10-year-old in the street that might recognize me.

01:03:39.220 If I give him eight seconds of my time and make eye contact,

01:03:44.680 shake his hand, ask his name.

01:03:46.400 What's your name?

01:03:47.640 What was it with a B?

01:03:50.040 Okay, cool.

01:03:50.940 Nice to meet you, man.

01:03:52.380 They won't forget that.

01:03:53.880 It changes their life.

01:03:54.900 It does.

01:03:55.780 Eight seconds of your time changes their life.

01:03:56.660 And I can see it on their face, and it just warms my heart.

01:04:00.740 And, you know, I'm getting a little soft, and I got the kids at home,

01:04:03.600 and I understand, like, how important that is for them and for their parents.

01:04:08.600 And just, like, so I love the Make-A-Wish kids and the kids in general

01:04:12.680 and how we touch them.

01:04:14.300 Very admirable, and I think important that a person in your position

01:04:18.000 recognizes that they have that kind of impact on people.

01:04:20.380 Sure.

01:04:20.820 Because it's relatively effortless, right?

01:04:23.260 It is.

01:04:23.640 Literally, you give eight seconds.

01:04:24.720 You give eight seconds.

01:04:25.380 It is. 0.91

01:04:25.660 and where i changed i think a lot from the asshole i used to be is i didn't used to recognize that 0.67

01:04:32.160 power that i had you know and um now i do you know and it's it is a good thing that's all that 0.96

01:04:39.540 matters yeah man randy orton it's been a goddamn pleasure we could go for three hours man and i'd
