of is rubber to get on the sock okay yeah say what i was saying about you i know you got your haircut recently but there's there's something else i don't know you have it's like a weird little glow about you this morning i look good you look good i'm trying to figure out what is i really hate that sock now you fixed it but it's that one you're all like when people put socks on you're supposed to put it on like this it literally looks like you put a sock on this you go okay and you just twirl it hey funny enough i've been back in my high school bag of no socks this is the first sock i've worn in probably four days oh my god i've been raw dog in my feet i mean straight skin to shoot contact yeah that's net and god bless Sarah because i face time to the other day right right sitting there on the couch and i saw her hands holding your dogs and i said she's gonna need some gym mix can i be honest with let's just let's cut to jump now i don't want to put her out there like that because she lives a private life but i think she has a thing for my feet i let's be honest like oh god because because a last episode i took my hooves out and you made fun of them oh yeah disgusting and so i'm big and white yeah it's no i have a strange foot Sarah said they're built like a cyber truck but i i was texting her and i sent her a picture of my tv just randomly and it was on the episode the part where my feet are out now Sarah doesn't regularly watch the podcast she lies and says she does yeah but she does it's good liar right now but i i was i had her phone and i the youtube i was open and she was a quarter of the way through the newest episode and i said baby watch the episode and she goes yeah watch it because i like to support you and i was like what's the first thing we talked about yeah and she goes what do you mean i was like what's some things we talked about before the point where you stopped the video she is and i was like you didn't want you you skipped the part you why did she skipped to the foot part to see my bare feet now i don't know what's going on that's not it's it's a king it's nothing wrong with it's nothing no not at all and if we rank my feet on on top tier feet if you you do keep good you've good cuticle care i got great big base cuticles yeah you have long toes though your toes make me uncomfortable really never set it out loud and here it is you're to i hate your toes your toes are creepy well i feel like that's like someone being your height yeah but your torso is right here like that's in your torso and your neck is literally two feet that's how your feet are you have a your actual foot yeah it's like a size 10 but then your toes are two and a half inches each yeah your toes have like there's like two knuckle like bends in them yeah i had to and that's a thing that's why i was insecure about my feet for a while because Preston said i had helmet toes and he looked he said it looked like my toes had a helmet that's embarrassing dude that's right i don't know i would take my feet every day of the week over yours right i mean you literally have purple coming out of your toenail i you i oh my god the fact i use a switchblade to clean it and then it stinks up the room yeah yeah and i still i have an open case of cps about you know your toes and yourself that was not i don't i don't know i don't know he did not he was he was gnawing on it he didn't have teeth he was gnawing on it it was not from the infected toe yeah nope there's no probable cause or proof that those my toenail and let's just say that he found a toenail in the house and he was gnawing on it and i saved his life now but would have been if it would have been mine from the infected toe oh god we would have had a different conversation you can take him yeah he's never know he's cursed he's he's gonna be a witch when he goes on if he would have ate that he would have been fully cursed oh dude we just got back from Connecticut we just got back from New York well that's two different places very close though and i and i and i'm pretty good on geography and i knew they were close but i didn't realize it was like where we went in Connecticut was us 70 minute 60 minute bus ride from like man hat and that's why i don't respect the east coast to be honest i don't yeah there it's all it's about a gumbo be your own people it's like it's all different it's all like you don't like the diversity and that's what i'm saying it's all like it's like more uniformity more what he goes he goes you're what leave here you're back leave there no i'm not saying that i'm saying it's like gentrification and redlining going on here not enough that's what that's what you're saying no i'm saying imagine if like the way north Texas is you're right with like frisco play no makinny al and they all believe that's how the east coast is with like major cities that's saying imagine if Dallas was right next to Houston and was right next to Austin yeah which was right i'm just saying i don't respect the east coast because i think they should just make that one big territory that's what i'm saying because like y'all it's like what do you mean the Connecticut is right there it wasn't until this trip i learned that new jersey was in New York i thought new jersey was its own state oh my no it is there's no state new jersey New York New York Jets New Jersey and they're in New Jersey the New York Jets are in New Jersey so i thought the Jersey Jets in New York the Jersey Jets no no no New York no New Jersey is in New York not the city to stay because New York that's why it's called New York New York because it's a state and a city which is oddly confusing like Texas Texas who does that - This is city, Texas. So I want to, I want to, well what do you, what do we do? - No, we're just gonna, we're gonna do this real quick. Just, we're gonna do this real quick. I want you to say what you said again. And I'm, I'm gonna keep this. I'm gonna keep this, all right? - I'm warning you. - So, this is for my person. - Yeah. - Here we go. Don't just say it real quick. - New Jersey in New York. Well, New Jersey's in New York. - Okay. - I thought New Jersey was a city in New York. - Okay. - Yeah. - Right there, perfect. - Okay. - Going on, you're, you're losing it. You're absolutely losing it. - What are you talking about? - You're absolutely losing it. - You think, so you think New Jersey is just a city. - I thought New Jersey was in New York the whole time because whenever I was texting people and they're like, where are you? And I said New York and they're like, okay, I'm in Jersey. Normally I only say, like, if I was texting somebody in Alabama, a woman, Texas, they wouldn't be like, oh, I'm like, hey, where are you at? They'd be like, Alabama. Like, they wouldn't, okay, they wouldn't tell me that. They'd be like, oh, I'm across the country. I'm in a different state. - Now, Texas and Alabama's across the country. - I didn't know where I was. Who the fuck knows where Alabama's at? - Everyone knows where Alabama is. - Of course, Pearson, NATO. - Here's like, I wish I was there right now. - I wish I was there right now. - Right, original colony, right? - No, no, you, okay. I don't even know how to dissect this. I don't know how to dissect it. You're an amazing person and I love you for that. But what, now, is that all you're basin' on? Is that people be like, oh, I'm in Jersey? Once I was driving through New York, right? And they said to get to New Jersey, you go across a bridge. And it was like a 25-minute drive. - Yeah. - If a state is 25 minutes away, right? And you can explore the whole state and get there. They'd sign a real state. That's a, that's a, that's a vast city. - Pete, depending on where you live in other states, states can be two minutes away. - I feel like new, but no, no, no, it's different with New York, New York just accounts for traffic. If they didn't have traffic, that's a 10 minute. Coast to coast. - Coast to coast a 10 minute. - You can see the whole state, 10 minutes, you see the whole, no, but that, if we lived at the very top of Texas, we could be in Oklahoma in five minutes. - That's different, I'm saying. - That's not different. - No, you think it's different just 'cause they're populated. - No, it's because landmassive Texas could be its own country. - It could. - What the fuck does that mean in this conversation? - That makes us say, there should be guidelines for what states are, right? New York and New Jersey craze it that they're not together. That is mind-blowing. Like, I'm not even doing a bit like mind-blowing it at that different place. - But it's not, they're, they are their own identity. - I thought it was a suburb. I thought it was in the suburbs because like every, like, rich person I know that lives in New York, they said, "Oh yeah, my house is in Jersey." I was like, "Oh, that's like the rich part of New York." - Because we're living in the nice part of New York. - Yeah, no, different place. - I didn't know that. - I mean, I just, I love your mind. It's a beautiful, colorful place. But that is not, I just don't know, you're so, when it comes to that, I feel like easily impressionable. - Yeah, how so? - Like, one person's just like, "Oh yeah, I live in Jersey." Like, "Oh, dude, that city's sick." - And then you just run with it. - Yeah, and that is your reality. - I know who you realize. - I know, clue. And I feel like that's not my fault. And also, if you, if you have a pride about yourself, like no one in New York or those East Coast states have pride about their state, they're right about their city in burrows. - Okay. - That's what I'm saying. - I agree, I agree. - It should be territories. - Yeah, I'm honestly, it's like a third world country on the East Coast. - It's like a hunger game. - Dude, it's like District 12, they're like, "You would never come to the Bronx." And like, that, no, that is, that, but it is crazy though. It is crazy that something, those five, and they're not terribly next to each other, but they are, that life is vastly different. - Really, I mean, I don't explore much in New York. - Nothing about that seems like I should walk around. - I'm not gonna lie, but New York, if you don't have money, it's kind of blow, like, I, I, it's, I don't know, I could not, I would not, I could not live there. - Just me being me and growing up. - Oh, you couldn't afford to live there. - Oh, that's, yeah. And it takes money, which is the crazy part. It takes, it, I don't know how that ever came about. - Yeah. - People have 200 square foot apart. - Yeah. - 200 square feet. - Yeah. - Look at that camera, look at the corner of this wall. - That's your house. - Yeah. - That's where you live, you sleep. - You eat, you eat, and you have fun. - Yeah. - And they're paying three bands a month for it. - And there's too many people there. And I think that's why the government put a blizzard there. Like, we're trying to make it that too far. - Okay. - Too far, yeah. - Okay. - We're trying to facilitate. - Wait, was there a **** blizzard right now? - Yeah. - There's a, there, came. As soon as we left, they're gonna get like 17 and a half. - What? (laughing) - They said, "I think you'll power the eye." (laughing) - Inches. - Holy ****. - It's like the worst blizzard in 2016. - Oh my. - What do you know about? - I don't, well, I guess not the weather. - We just got out of it, yeah. - Holy ****. - So cold when we get there. - Bullet. - Dude, so bad. Honestly, I'm gonna go back to, I'll never go to New York for leisure, except for the WWE headquarters, which isn't Connecticut, right? - Talk to me. - Strange that they housed us in New York City in Manhattan and then took us to the headquarters. - It's like they know, and they know offense. It's like they know the other **** around the headquarters, isn't it? - Yeah. - Why would you put eye, 'cause I said that to us. Oh, it's in New York. - It's in Connecticut. - It's 60 minutes away. - Dude, Connecticut, driving through Connecticut, it looked like they built plastic there. - Oh, that's all they do. - Like, we make plastic. - 100%. - And that's it. - We have WWE in plastic. - We don't have fun. - We don't have, you want entertainment? - WWE headquarters. - Yeah. - You want some good food, WWE headquarters. Everyone else is building plastic. - Dude, it's such a ****. - I mean, the very specific spot that that building was at, it was nice. It was pretty ****. Like, as soon as we crossed, nothing to look at. Not close my eyes. As soon as we went to close my eyes. - I don't know what else. Like, it's kinda bloke. I just went deaf. I was like, "Once take off." - Yeah. - Let me try again. - No. - Dude, but how is your experience of WWE headquarters? We're gonna get into this later in the episode. And yes, later in the episode, you get to see parts of the interviews we did with like, all the big superstars. If you want the full thing, it's gonna be available on our Patreon exclusive, this Wednesday. - Talk to 'em. - Bro, it was fantastic. It was honest. It was, for multiple reasons. But like, macro first, just the overall trip was done very well. Like, the way that they had us. They were taking care of us. It was very, I don't like a trip that's like, super scattered. Like that. - What does that mean? - You don't like a trip that's super scattered. - Like, say you go somewhere and it's just, everything's just kind of up in the air. - Oh, I'll figure that out and get back to you. It's like, this is very frustrating. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So that was good. The actual event in the day was, I mean, I'm not gonna spoil it, but. - Unbelievable. - Smooth. - Unbelievable. And this, the people we spoke to, like, it was, especially for you. But for me too, like, bro, it was some, it was like, little childhood dreams coming to fruition. Like, right in front of your eyes. - Yeah. - It was sick, man. - I think Ronnie Touke hates me. (laughing) - I'm not gonna get into it. I generally think, like, he looked, like, I've never had a man. - He looked, he looked disgusted with your existence. - Yeah, like, I've never met the guy. And I've been there, you know, like, I know who you are because you're Ronnie Touke. - Oh, my God. - Like, every guy knows you. - Yeah. - And so, I saw him, I was like, oh, it's Ronnie Touke. When I say, he looked like he wouldn't despit in my face. (laughing) - I said, I said, what do I do? - So he really broke up, Ronnie got off the elevator. And it was me and P and C.J. and Cara were sitting there. And he's walking to the, like, tables behind us. - Yeah. - He walks past me and P. And first off, I know this crush to you, bro. - Oh, man. - Oh, man, I don't fuck to people. And that's all I know. - Oh, my crush, because you never do this. - He never goes out of his way to talk. And he goes, he goes, hey, what's up? (laughing) - P goes, hey, what's up, man? (laughing) - Oh, I'm not making it up. - P goes, hey, what's up, man? Sitting down like this, a little slight head nod. And you would have thought someone just said, your mother's fat and ugly. You were on it too. He literally was like this. (laughing) Like, he looked, he like, hey. Like, literally, like, we were a second away from a loogie, leaving his head. - Yeah. - He was like, it looked like, you were the scum of the earth. And I was like, I wanted to be like, oh, Bob. - Yeah, no, I would have cried. If you would have put your arm on me. That's why I stopped. I said, I can't. I said, we're not going to draw more attention. But that was, bro. - And this is exactly what I did. I said, hey, what's up, bro? What's up, Ronnie? He goes, and I went. (laughing) That's all you could do is, like, start tapping the foot. You're like, hey, I got slouched. - It was a little cold outside. - Dude, and that's not the only awkward thing that happened, bro, 'cause we made it to WWE Headquarters. They put us to, and you'll see this on the vlog that's coming out on Patreon on Saturday and eventually on YSK Unplugged on YouTube. But we walked to the back, right? They took us to the back where our podcast studio was, right? And so, all the big podcasters, they're like, busted open was the-- (laughing) - I know what you're gonna say, and I've forgotten it. (laughing) - Oh my God! Oh my God, dude, my heart was burning. (laughing) Hey, I'm never, hey, I'm never talking to y'all again. I swear to God, I'm never talking to y'all again. I'm not saying what's up to nobody. - Oh my God. - I'm not talking to nobody, bro. - God about that. - And y'all ask, like, paintings such a, when he's in public. This is why. - No, no, no. - That was bad, it was so bad. - Oh my God, it's so bad. - It's so bad. - We walked to the back, and there's only, for some reason, they let us back there, and there's only three media outlets back there. It's us, it's OSHA Jackson Jr.'s radio show, and it's Mark Henry Sirius, that's him show. Right? It's not funny. - Who does that? - I'm sorry. - No, I heard him. - I'm sorry. - No, I heard him. - I was like, God, I said, he's over. - Oh my God. - Same day, I was within two and a half hours. It was like, Ronnie bus ride. I was like, oh, you can do it. - And so, we're walking to the back, right? - Oh my God. - And if you know anything about the lore of YSK and my history of the podcast, and you know that the WWE Hall of Famer, Mark Henry, is like one of. Like my mentors in this game. He's one of my mentors Whenever I was before I even started the podcast. I met Mark Henry in a gym and I told him hey I want to do a podcast I want to do like media and I know you have a show on series XM Like he's there any advice you have for me and like a teddy bear like the nice and this is one of my idols Like I grew up watching wwe and so that day Mark said, yeah I'm recording at iHart Studios in downtown Austin. He's like wake up at five in the morning. Just meet me there That's huge for a guy who's trying to get into the space. So I did oh So I did and he he he mentored me for like two weeks, right? And I met his kid I talked to him and he followed me on Twitter and then when I opened the original you should know studios or as a rental studio He texted me talking about how proud he is of me Grant all that. Yeah, but this was four years ago. Yeah, five years ago. Some it was like around four years ago It's been a while, but I felt that we had such a connection here That you would remember that you helped launch the you should know podcast So you're a big monumental person. So and that was the last time I've seen him right so we're walking backstage, right and And standing right there as we turn the corner is the one the only mark Henry K-Rabs behind me P goes. I had to go. Go. So I had to man. Cam goes dude You're gonna see Mark Henry brother be able to get the update on how successful you've been see Jay doing him See just like oh guys that mark and so Everybody all my friends were hyping me up being like you get to talk to him and my I was so confident about this because me and Mark Henry are best friends like he mentored me So I was like guys chill. Yeah, I know I'm gonna talk to him. I Swear to God I am walking straight like he I'm six foot seven, right? There's no way you don't see me. Yeah, I For guys with me, right? I'm walking straight up to him. I see And you know that look when a person doesn't know like there is no connection There's no I literally was I was like I'm about to go say what's up to him. That was my intention. I get probably This close to Mark Henry and he doesn't he doesn't go. What's up? He looks me like this I Just turn the corner He was in the way the where he was at was right at like an intersection in this hallway, so it was like dad Dead straight walk right to mark and right when you get to mark you can go left Yes, where our room was I had to pass though. He's like this confident as hell face never changed. Mark's just like I'm gonna peace out. Yeah Just went right to our room. We got to the room close the door And I just looked at it and he was like, yeah, I'm never talking to anybody again. He's like I swear to god I'm about to never know. I think that first I said nice busy It was not doing nothing Said pro likes this a businessman, bro. He's honest. Clearly has a packed agenda. He was really just kicked out of the wall. Yeah, Roddy2K and Did Mark Henry not a Loki a third one happened, but I'm gonna save that for next episode. Oh my god Beiled on by Joe Santa Gago. Oh, I mean, he absolutely goes to me. I go. Did you have a good trip like my god No, I'll take the heat off you. Okay. Well, no, it's sorry next episode I'm not gonna say who but during our our interviews with these these WWE superstars. I got told I looked rough twice I'll chose to increase it to work Not once not once but twice and two people guessed my age both the guesses were 31 years old and that's not too far off It's not crazy, but due to that like the fact that that was two actual talking points. Yeah, the second we landed I got with my wife. I said hey babe. How's it going? You want to go to Ulta? Yeah, and we went to Ulta I spent a hundred and twenty dollars on skincare. Sort of got for myself for myself. Yeah, it doesn't look like yeah Well, it's only been three days four days relax. They need to be I I asked live.

I've swooped your ass They go, life's beating the dog. How do you? Oh my god, huh the moat like Have you been have you watched this season of love is one I've only watched one episode or half a one episode Okay, I'm not I'm not saying names. Let's just say there's there's some people on there. Yeah, they're age and their looks It's like wow. Can I say the the black dude with the dreads that he he's the first one to get a connection and he can have it No, no, no, no, you don't want to show no, this man has a that man has a tongue of a serpent. Oh my god. It's smooth. It's smooth. It's it's it's it's it's so smart. Yeah, it's very so smart very educated very well spoken good with his Emotion to not slide of an under bite, but it doesn't bother me like I don't when I look at I was trying to analyze it It doesn't really bother me though. Maybe just a little bit like tiny tiny level. Yeah, good season. You know my brother Trying to make himself have an under bite as a kid It's a such a genuine thing too, and I didn't remember that so you just said it What in the hell does that mean that you're trying to make yourself have an under bite? No He's like this. Well a lot of memories are coming now because I haven't thought about this in years But Preston is the best brother in the world and he knew my favorite dog was a bulldog And I swear to god Peyton Get you you oppressed in the world. Well, and so press is going to his mandible to give you entertainment He was going to destroy his jaw. Yeah to make his baby brother laugh what I mean gave him a medal on it So me and Preston would play together all the time and he knew I loved bulldogs, but this is the time where my mom was I ain't no dog coming in this house This is she say ain't no dog. Get on my furniture So how now you get on all for us be a dog for your brother take turn And so me and Preston were alone and just having fun and talking I was like I really want a bulldog So Preston created this character named butch butch the bulldog and it's for sure to walk around You walk around as a bulldog and we thought of if he stays like this long He'd become a butch the bulldog in real on all fours. No, no weird. So he was just walking around He's like a regular person. I don't remember what that's the scene was, but we were definitely like I think he would he would like to surprise me with it like we'd be You know with it butch could talk he would go just and butch Butch and bulldog and I'd be I'd get so happy I'm like seven, too, so that's a little too old. That's a bit old for that one But uh, so that that would have placed that would have placed press of the right page of ten and uh, so now the dog's talking So if we if we take the facts on the table your brother was standing like a human yeah speaking to you in English Which is a human but it was almost like it was a fridge bulldog, so he had a little accident He was like a bone up a top It's like what's upon you until I'm back. Yes So he literally just did his jaw. Yeah, and then he did a good thing with his lips If you call press it after this you can say hey, let me see that butch the bulldog. He goes, okay No, I swear to god, he'll do it. All right, no, yeah, what a dog. Yeah, he's great. What a dog roof roof. Hey question for you question for you the science of flights don't make sense after our New York trip the science of flights don't make sense after our new It's already mind-boggling to me that we can get a 13 ton aircraft into the sky at 500,000 miles per hour Don't give me statistics. I don't give a shit. So you were grossly wrong on both fronts so much more than 13 tons I mean so much less speed than 5,000 miles. Yeah, yeah, and then there is definitely a point in my flight where I was like oh this pilot's guessing No clue where we're at. Oh my god. We're going through those brown that brown clouds Good morning. Great clouds. We're gonna put them great clouds if we're like 30 minutes and I was like You know you were dizzy. Yeah, you don't know anything. Those little Little fog lights aren't doing nothing. Yeah, but Jim I don't understand flights because on the way to New York from Texas to New York It was like a two and a half hour flight It was like two hours and 45 minutes. Yeah, who was quick, right? Yeah, we took the same airline at the same time on a different day From New York back to Texas. It was like a four and a half hour flight It was long now. I don't understand how that works You're maybe you're going against the wind. Maybe there's different Gulf streams I don't know, but they're closer to the ocean that Probably now what New York's closer to the ocean now I agree with you. Where's that a bay that's that be the ocean? But I don't understand what you're saying because how the hell would that affect our plane? You know how it gets colder going towards water? You think you think it gets colder, going closer to water. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's science. - No, no, no, no, no, you're not gonna give me on that. - The closer you get to water, the colder you get. - So do you think it's colder in the middle of windy Kansas or right by the Gulf of Mexico? - That's different. - That's water. - That's an equator problem. - Your statement was it gets colder when you get by water. - It gets colder the closer you get to water. That's a fact. - You were just in the East Coast. Do you think-- - And why was it so cold? - Do you think it's colder in Michigan? - Right. - Which is also by water, but if you go to California-- - Yeah. - Thereby water? - I'm saying it's right-- - You're just in the East Coast. - No, I'm not saying-- - You're comparing it apples to orange. I'm saying in the same state, right? If you're in California, right by Arizona, where there's no ocean, it's hot, hot! And then if you go to the Santa Monica pier, it gets colder because you get closer to the water. - Water is a natural coolant. - Oh, okay, okay, okay, back to the burn. - No, no, no, no, no, you get-- - Do you succeed? - No, I don't succeed because you just, you picked my example, it wasn't good. You said it apples to oranges. You made your own example. - I'm saying, fit it to you. - I'm talking about it in the same location. If you get closer to the water, it will get colder. - In the same spot, I could get behind that. - Yes, 'cause water's a natural coolant. And so I'm saying, and I'm saying, with water comes wind. And so whenever you're flying, if you're flying near water, the wind is hitting your turbine, so it slows it down. - Okay, see, now the only problem is when we leave New York, we don't go out to the ocean. We go back to Texas. So that kinda goes, oh, argument, argument, crumble. You just said the wind whips off the water and pushes it to our turbines. I'd love to see you draw a diagram of a plane. And it slows us down. We are, we might be over the water for 30 seconds. If that, you go up, and we're headed inland to the, we're headed to land maps. - New York to Dallas. - Okay, okay, well, there's different, if you ever ask me if we pass an ocean, if you are about to say, no. - No, from New York to Dallas. - Do we pass mountains on the way from New York to Dallas? - I don't know, there might be a mountain chain. - Okay, so they're flying by Everest though, but there might be some hills. - You might be a couple hikers. - It could be a mountain problem. 'Cause we're cause turbulence. - There it went. I'm saying, but the only thing that would make sense because I never have that kind of problem. I've flown from Texas to Canada and it was quick. There's no ocean, there's no mountains on the way there. There's mountains and oceans on the way back from New York. Not, I guess not on the way too. - Papa, Peyton, yeah. Same, same flight on the way there, right? So, you explain it. - I have no, I gave my best shot. - Tyler was drunk. - Yeah, he's like. - There's gotta be, it's a denser wash. - Maybe, maybe on that day. - Yeah. - Maybe the wind, okay. It might be, okay, here we go, right? Dallas, New York. So, if the wind's always going this way, is the wind always going east? - The wind always does go in direction. 'Cause if the wind doesn't, that's where tornadoes come from. If the wind just decides to go the other way. There's a tornado. - It's called wind confusion. (laughing) - So, if the wind's always going this way on the way, we're gonna get that extra draft. Like a Lamario car like you pop a mushroom. - Yes, yes. - On the way back. It's gonna get some fun. - That's exactly what it is. And that's because, so it's just a clarification. It's not, it has nothing to do with Arizona, California, oceans, or tornadoes, or mountain ranges. - No, that's called openly figuring out a problem. That's called showing your work. And I just got to it, right? And you made a good point. Because the world does rotate. So the wind has to go, sure the wind causes it to spin a little bit, but it all goes in one direction, right? The wind's always in one direction. So if you go, it does, unless tornadoes happen. That's where all the natural disasters happen. - Oh, and that's how you get Oklahoma 95. - Yeah, I mean, there's no other way a tornado can form other than wind going the opposite direction. - But how the (beep) does that just make a tornado? - I don't, I think that's so wrong. - You were about to do this. - The wind, you said it changes. It's not heating. - No, I'm saying the wind's always going one direction, right? - Yeah. - So if you, oh, this is hard for my brain. So if you bring it the other direction. - What happened? - What happened? - What happened? - What happened? What happened? - No, but so it's just one little stream of wind. - One family heirloom wind. - No, that's where it's going. - They're going to switch the course. And they became a tornado. - They have different shifts. But I'm saying there's a little wind gets loose going the other way. He come from the east coast. - A little wind goes through a sig break outside. He wants to go there. - Yeah, we can't wait. Boom, tornado. - We got lizard in New York. - We got some DGN wind coming out way. He just does what he wants. That's a good point. If you're a pilot, don't come in. Don't give a (beep) That's what I thought. - Oh my, I actually would love to understand why the exact same flight went from two and a half hours to four hours. 'Cause it's not degenerate, cigarette, smoking wind. It's not mounted, it's not ocean. - I know it has to be wind. - It has to be wind. - There had to have been a family of wind on that day that said, I don't like our wind life anymore. This is my villain arc and they just went against us. - And that was called openly figuring out a problem. That was called showing your work. - Yeah, like that. - We got to the problem, we got to the solution. - Speaking of solving problems, you have a terrible one. I have, honestly, God, I've never seen anything like this. In all my days, mental physical, emotional, or spiritual? I think it's all for it, right? I think it's all for being honest, God. This meant you sleep with the windows open in a hotel. That is beyond any comprehension that I have bypassed. - You gotta give context. That's, it's very important. - Okay, we're in a skyrise in New York City and he has the windows open. - Yes, to sleep, it's like, it's, yeah, it's the noise. I like the brown noise. - Oh, you like, air, it's sirens. - It broke the brown noise. - Yes. - You like the brown air that comes in with it? Do you like that, you're hearing like whispers and secrets of the homeless throughout the night? - No, it's just traveling to your room. You're just laying there, you're like, no, and you're just, oh, here it is. - Hi. - Go get that back. - No. - Ew, ew. - Okay, honestly, this is a thing. I have to sleep with noise going on. I always sleep with a podcast on. It normally ours, it's so strange. - That is very strange. - I like falling asleep to your voice. - Oh my God. - And then it's always nice to hear like a little k-rock in the back. - He goes, ah! - So I fall asleep to our podcast every night, but the pod, but the, oh, that's, look like anime. I sleep every night to our podcast, but the hotel we're in didn't have YouTube on the TV. Not a nice hotel. - Not gonna lie, the guy for that TV was weird, boy. That thing was weird. - Did you buy the ****? - No, sir. Oh, tune it, tune it, tune it. - Yeah. - No, TV is shocked, though. - It was bad. - It was like 2008. - But do you understand, right? - They, so stupid, man, dumb. - Do you understand? - Fucking, what the hell is this crazy? - No, if you're buying, if you're purchasing ****. - Please, why? - Sometimes, shut up. - No, no, sir, no, sir. I don't, I think that is, dude, there's people, there's people that really, I'm talking like, pick it, fence that. They go, you pay, you pay for movie tickets for your favorite actors. It's like, you're, you're showing your ****. - No, that's a crazy argument. - No, they, they say that. They say you pay movie tickets for your favorite actors in their films. It's like, you're showing your **** dust star. Oh, like, I don't know what to tell you. - What's the most you pay? - Zero dollars. - Really? - I would net. - Payton, there is, there is a, there's an un, literally ungodly. - In this world, that for you to get to the point, and I'm sorry, if I'm calling you out, then you might need to look in the mirror. If you are purchasing, what the hell are we doing? - Dude, yeah, I mean, no, no, Luke, but sometimes the, the clickbait on the paywall's worth. - Dude, did you really, there's three of you? - No. - You gotta see what it's in for. - You go, oh, that's not pizza, that box. (laughing) - Thank you, New York, I'm so sorry. - No, that was the first time. - No, okay, I fall asleep after they have brown noise and white noise, 10 hour playlists on Apple Music. - No, but it's something about the air and the environment. I like to be a slow, I do that at home. I sleep with my window open at home. Am I balcony door? - You sleep with a balcony door. - Slide it, you're that door is huge. - Yes, massive, it's the whole wall. - Payton, you sleep with that open at the house. - Yes, I like the environment, I like the natural winds. I don't like artificial air from fans in AC. I see what the AC off the window's open. - Payton, you're not, you're not a monk. You're not in the hills and the mountains. - That's crazy. - You are an urban, you're in an urban society. - Careful. - You act like you're just a whole year than that, like someone could climb your f*cking door. - No, there's no downside. - You know there's no downside to it. It's natural air, that's what God gave you, that's what you're supposed to have. - I think I'll sleep outside. Go take your f*ck on the lawn. And just go pitch a tent. Just go sleep out there and natural air, God gave you the moonlight speaking. - So why is it crazy that I do that, but you don't, you're rid of cool people for going to camp. - For going to camp? - Yeah, like set up tents. - 'Cause that's an experience. They're going out of their way to experience it quickly and then get back to that. - And my experience, I prefer sleeping in my home with the windows and doors open. - That is the time. - Do you, okay, do you have your bedroom door open? - Like to the rest of my house and it was locked. - It's, what the f*cking door? - It was locked, I said, you have said, you locked that f*cking door with a bell. - That's different, but you're sliding door that's four times as high as the regular door. - Hold on, be ready to the clock it. I'm on the third floor. So they can't get it from outside. No one can come from outside. You can come from inside. - You've seen a home depot like that? Have you seen the ladder people that work with shame if somebody gets a ladder to my third floor and I don't hear them by floor two You deserve to oh they will they will and the fact that you're doing this every night the that is beyond me You sleep with your room now. I'm open to everyone open it like think think about it You don't open the door to the rest of your own house. Yes, the lights off the lights off you have it open to everything You have an open to the world the lights off. So what the hell does that mean? They can't see they see that little little little little curtains going Like floating in a carans are up The curtains are up as well. You think I would open a door with the curtains down So there's just a Oh in your room at night. There's a mess Your bedroom has your bedroom has three walls and you go to sleep Where is the wall we're doing. Yeah, what were you doing? Yeah, and then it is just oh it's the most peaceful sleep You'll ever get it's the closest because I don't live by a beach. It's a close to don't get to a beach sleep Like when you sleep by the beach you I can't you ever got one of those hotels Have you just reference or close your eyes and imagine okay, I know you probably haven't okay never have you ever got a beach side Hotel right okay, and then you like to sleep with the doors open so you hear the ocean no sir really no sir What are you paying for I like to you pay for the beat you go there in the middle of the day I have huge oaks outside of my door so I can hear the the trees and the in the birds and everything like that I live in a safe neighborhood, so I don't hear people oh But that's not that is I The fact that you can't leave your door to your house open no, what do you get a bonster's? Goons and goblins Your house because somebody could break through the front door and then climb three steps There's no steps on the way up to my balcony It's safety thing and it's just a peaceful. It's tranquil. You should try it. You're gonna get an all-time piece Someone's gonna kill you. You're gonna be a piece forever. There has been a bug problem. Oh My god, I didn't even think about the bus. There was a one-time bug problem. No birds birds No, not the message if a blue jay came into my room. I But I'm saying you probably have flies out No, we had a wasps for man The amount of bugs a cricket even of anything crickets flies mosquitoes. Oh my god You know it's not okay. I hope you know. That's not okay the worst thing I had was what are those what are those June bugs? No one's like, oh my god look crunchy It was under the pillow. I call oh my god. I know I call natures forever rochets Forever rochets what's that it's that little golden chocolate hazelnut of course it is The little golden ball you throw in your mouth, but I've never been scared of June bugs because my mom plays with them Yeah, no, she likes like go like anytime as June bug season my mom goes out and pockets them Wait, no, that's not okay either. That is absolutely not right But I'm just saying like yes, we had one problem with June bugs But then you just get like humidifiers and I'll go away. They don't like okay regardless or a candle. They don't like candles You are in the 1400 sleeping with the Window open with candles lit in your room. What the fuck am I hearing the podcast play? You know in a podcast in the background our podcast scrap That's you know what I'm simply cuz I love you. I'm your best friend. I'll give you that home. Yeah, I don't know house Heratolerates that I'll give you the at home. You're in New York city arguably the loudest place in the world Not a bomb went off it's three a.m. And you have your window open. You're getting sewer exhaust You're getting screaming noises. Yeah, you're probably smelling a halal deli at four o'clock in the morning And you are you're just fine with the window just wide open. Yes Because it's the closest I can get to to home and honestly it's better for your immune system to get wherever you're You cannot Okay, it's because whenever we're in New York, cam is infatuated with eating outside with the street side eating I would rather sleep a thousand floors up. I know you're on floor two. It's different. I was a thousand floors up in the sky I was making eye contact with the top of the Empire State Building once in a lifetime you try and can't Then sitting and eating bus exhaust to the side of lasagna. I don't want that. Hey eating outside and walking on your feet while in New York is a part of every day life. No, you're sitting I get to you and I guarantee if you went to a New Yorkers crib, right? It's a hey, but I'm asleep at the window and they go, huh? No, no, no, no, no, we don't do that Yo, nah, you buck. It's brick is Yeah, that's something it was it was coldish. Yeah, and it's better than artificial air that's God's win. It's God's win. No, it's God. Oh, in New York notes. Oh, that's Satan's wind. You said they're going Yeah, whatever. Oh my God. You know, that's that's not okay. Hey, can I say cam is soap too? Oh, okay, it's gone Sorry, what a rough start Cam is so scared of what people think about him because the day we were headed to the WWE headquarters Cam had massive diarrhea and so we oh, yeah, he made me and Cam. He made me and Cam He made me and him go to the bodega and had me ask the bodega worker for anti-dye real He's like he literally hid behind me like a little girl. He was like this painting. Please ask him. He say can you go? You heard can you get me the anti-dye real? I have to ask a girl man. I don't know. It's I Want everyone to look at I want everyone to look at the face. That is the face of a No, actually every single thing he said was everything he just said was absolutely true except Switched the names P-Linus P-Linus said bro. Come on. You know your psychopath. You don't care what people think. Just get the anti-dye real I was like all right. I was like, hey boss two anti-dye real No, no, I said I was like, hey, excuse me boss. Can I get one anti-dye real painting looks over Shirley said He said He said clean me the shot. Get the clean of the shot. Now wait. Let me get that that shot that detox you I was like, are you okay? No, I don't know. I think I was getting all that exhaust window last night No, literally felt like the whole time and you'll see this coming up when you're about to watch Whenever we're interviewing see him punk. Yo sky Chelsea green Tiffy I was like I felt like a rock little sediment was in my stomach because those two anti-dye real And those are extra straight numb put it down So together right now like like it is like those came with natural stitches for sphincter to take your stitches all of the pills They get down there. They pop out four limbs in a heart No, no one up the butter. Yeah, I can't hear it. Never mind. I'll say you do. No, no the funniest part about that exact moment Was by the the literal time we paid and walked out of the store which it the check out the cashiers don't literally he can touch the door The time we left the little spot bodega you'd already took all four pills. Oh, I didn't oh I'm not I literally turned around we stopped at the crosswalk and I said I said bro, what happened he goes Oh, it's all bad. It's all past me now hard to took him and I went what the fuck yeah, they're already gone Like you took all four he goes. Yeah, bro. He goes hey, we got we got business to do Like I can't feel like this that's like oh my god, but before we get into the WWE interview Cam has been like he's so excited about this riddle that he found so I you can bring it out now All right, buddy, I have a riddle for you. I know it's been a struggling thing and this might even be PTSD But okay, we're gonna get through it and I have faith in you okay, and I think this is actually gonna be hilarious I cannot wait to see you do it. This is called the bridge in the torch. Don't I need a whiteboard? You need a whiteboard Here's brain now whiteboard. You need a whiteboard. All right. I got a whiteboard. Let's do it Okay, the bridge in the torch you can write what you want you can draw what you want You're gonna use your brain okay to get to the bottom okay four people need to cross a bridge at night time That's your response I know they're race here we go Four people need to cross the bridge at night. They only have one torch and the bridge is too dangerous to That didn't come out right the bridge is too dangerous to cross without it scary. Oh There we only two people can cross at a time okay Bye-bye-to and they all walk at different speeds. Yeah, it's humans. Okay, so this this is definitely the part you need to write The four no, that's good too What is that up top? What is that up to one flame? Okay, one flame. Yeah, the four speeds. Yeah, one minute So these are just the four people these are walking speeds so just write their time. Do is it important? Are you just telling me? Oh, this is very much important. Yeah, hold on the first person walks at one minute I said hold on okay, yeah first person walks at one minute one man. Okay, second ones two minutes two men as a third three. No Second one is seven minutes. I thought you said the second one was two minutes. Sorry third one is seven minutes Go ahead, seven minutes third one is seven minutes and the fourth one is ten minutes I mean three and four we kick them off the bridge at this point like here brother. We gotta go We gotta take it too long. Hey, you just go like So now here we go. Yep. Let's do it. When two people cross together they move at the slower person's pace Everyone must cross the bridge in 17 minutes or less. How do they do it? Wait, so when they move in pairs they go at the slowest person space. Yes, they can go to it at time the torch which nine plus one Plus 11 20 9 plus 11. Yeah 9 plus 11 21 20 1 1 20 and so they so when they moved together and there's only two people they can go to time They have one torch. That's important. The tour the tour to see you just go straight Where the torch got a clock in it was the torch has to go with them the bridge is too dangerous. Who cares? So they do it's too dangerous. Maybe there's a troll at the bottom. He's like get off my brain. Okay One oh, so in say that last part they go at the speed of light So when they when two people cross together they move at the slower person's pace right they all have to cross within 17 minutes or else the bridge Breaks I just added the last part for a little dramatic Effect so they're going to it at time. Oh, not easy Okay, they got the slowest person's pace so if the one minute and the 10 minute go together They go at 10 minutes and if they go two minutes and seven minutes together they go 17 minutes right there so one and four and two and three go together No, no sir no sir that because they would have left there would have been no torch. Someone has to bring the torch back. Oh Wait, no, I'm not doing that. So they where they leave. I'm not doing that you got it. I'm not doing some traction You got it's not subtraction. It's not so there's literally no subtracting. It's just addition. You got it So two people go across right That's gonna be the time to keep this right I got to restart. Well, that's wrong. So if you want to keep it There you go you got it, but listen to easily everyone on the floor. We all believe in you buddy. Here we go Oh, this is really easy. Oh, this is really easy. I need to care. Oh, this is really easy 1 2 7 10 right 1 2 7 10 so so make it okay Oh, one minute's going back and forth to make because it's click is a speedy. Here we go Make it easier on yourself. So one's got the torch. Okay draw draw the two sides of the bridge if you want you just two sides to a bridge Oh, you think they're getting on it for a lot that you just more do the arch of anything What do you think the whole the whole bridge was a literally conceptualized to get you from one point to another? See the only reason it exists. Okay. All right. Here we go Okay, so the one what what I okay, so one is going but he has to go in twos, right? Yeah, so we leave 10 bro one in 10 is going together. Okay, so that's 10 minutes. That's 10 minutes So that's 11 minutes. Okay, one came back. So that's 11. That's 11. Then we're going to take Sit we can't take seven or Do we take two it should be two with the flames two should have the flame right so two goes with 10 right 10 12 You just gave yourself an extra minute. No, it's two goes with seven Okay, you maybe give one more effort one more effort if one if two I'm here imagine this imagine if those are that's us That's us right now. Yeah, that's us. Okay. You're the one minute. I'm the two minutes CJ's seven k rob's 10 that's up. I just winning or I just said it. I didn't oh, I see what you're saying. Okay, k rob's the one It doesn't matter. Well, we got to get across. You got to find your you're the leader Two goes with 10 right? Okay, and that'd be 10 minutes and then if two goes back that's 12 minutes and then if and then and If two goes with Seven that's Seven seven minutes at nine minutes 19. No, that's not happening. I don't think I'm making across the bridge. So I'm gonna Somebody got pushed off the bridge someone someone died the 10 died. What's the what's the answer? Okay? The answer the one and two cross the bridge. Okay, you're at two minutes. The one returns you're at three minutes three minutes Okay, okay, let's see if you do from there. And who's you pick up? No, I'm not, but who do you pick up? No one? Seven and 10 go across the bridge and then that's so that's 10 is you're at 13 total The two comes back across you're at 15 the one and the two go to the other side everyone in hope I got that I would have loved to see you do that in a real life practice No, you're literally be like hey if you need to torch your lame walk straight You would have not have been able to get that done if if I was in physically there. I would ought to figure it out If I was physically there I'd figure it out. I'm not good with paper and pen. You're I don't know if you would have physically you would have been like Hey, I'm in this video. Wait, let me see that torch real quick Just take off you go hope you can keep up the fact that you need the torch is stupid though because you don't need the torch makes the beauty because all Bridges all bridges the torches like walk all bridges have handles What all bridges have handles and rails so you just hold on there's not a bridge without a handle nor rail Okay, if it's pitch black and you're holding on to a handle What if there's a bear trap at your feet? It's a who puts a bear trap on a bridge someone that's trying to stop you What's that bridge occupied by Joker in his minions, but I'm okay, but that's that's unrealistic though I like realistic math problems, and that's why I didn't like that one Like a more of a Susie has three apples type of guys. Oh, you're more Susie Apple guy. Yeah That was the first time we've done a riddle where I've literally given up like No part like it's normally like fun. I like the little can mask not that one No, and you and you were so you said I'm not doing subtraction 20 times. I said there's no subtraction So all you're doing is at it technically there was Think because you got to go back. Yeah, he's right. We're not doing any more riddles Now it's time for Y's K X WWE X childhood dreams X came real before our eyes X what a wonderful day It was it's insane what you're about to watch I mean Love them. What you're about to watch is pieces of the interviews we did with some of WWE's biggest stars If you want to watch the full like it the episodes are not five hours But we spent five hours in this room me and Cam talking and then bringing in these WWE superstars It'll be available on patreon on our patreon exclusive episodes that we drop every Wednesday this Wednesday So if you're watching this on a Wednesday the week it came out. It's out right now on patreon. Yes, but And as well as a vlog of the whole day it's gonna come out on Saturday on patreon as well, but I mean this this Literally truly unreal the the ww unreal good morning. We talked about that. I mean crazy I haven't watched this yet. Yeah, I'm low-key kind of scared to because the whole day I was having an outer body experience Yes, like this is you got to say I've been watching these people since I was a kid and I still watch some every single week Multiple times a week and this is like my fun is watching wrestling watching ww and so being able to like shake these people's hands and like I was having a conundrum like when I would ask a question I was watching them listen to me and I was like see him punk is listening to something that's coming out of my mountain Yeah, oh, you're still speaking. Yeah, your brain. You're like outer bodies like watching like taking these memory pictures Insane, but you did bro. You you are very normally you always say it as like a joking way or not, but the pressure and diamonds and stuff, but you very much like you could tell how excited you were for it Because we were talking about it before they came to the room, but then when they came in you locked in and it was good like I had just just as much fun. Yeah, because the childhood part because I kind of fell out of it just naturally Mm-hmm, but I had just as much fun watching you like Be in like engulfed with it and just bro the question like Questions you said for fire like everything was just it was really really like good and you can tell that you like love that Yeah, thanks man, but it was it's crazy cuz like and the way it's set up I know there's I watch it back. I'll probably disappoint it back should have asked this follower should ask this But it's in the moment. It's it's in the moment and if you'll see this on the vlog on patreon on Saturday That we didn't know who was coming into the room like we didn't know who was coming in at what time like there would be times Where it was like I got caught the off guard once was like see him see him did you just walked in the room? I think they might have said like we got punk maybe like 15 20 minutes. Yeah, and literally we see some feet coming to the door We're like that's punk's feet. It's oh my god And so yeah, and so all the the internet wrestling community I hope I know y'all you know allowing me in and y'all respect me. So if I ask bad questions I'm sorry. I was very nervous, but I think I think it was good. I think it was fine. The humble king He did great and in every interview. There's a wrap in the corner like Like you know, the the because they're on a tight schedule and stuff So it was a lot of pressure. It was a lot of fun though and to WWE. Thank you for having us. Yes Thank you very much. If that's our last one Then I um, I hope that It wasn't because we weren't good, but maybe it's because he found someone better, but And they and they shout out to 2k of course Yes, the whole event. I mean the game was the sick we saw all of them That they were at they had great people too like all their reps everyone all their workers were fantastic No, it's part like literally the people behind the scenes of WWE the people behind the scenes of 2k or our fantastic people Ronnie I'm sure you just had a bad day But but genuinely this was a a a once in a lifetime experience.

be honest I'm Peyton nice to meet you long reach coming I'm cam nice to meet you now I'm gonna I'm gonna really give you a warning here this this is it you just did like a real established show right there okay yeah this is not that okay right honestly I think we snuck in here you know what I mean go team go team yeah this no it's it's borderline nonsense a little bit oh I hope I ride this will be my my environment yeah well for those of you who don't know you I want to say you have the coolest intro yes I dropped an f bomb and we were allowed to do oh oh oh you're all I would never I'm like yeah shot all right yeah I do it's so cool now have you seen it in the game yes I did well okay so you guys are familiar with the Super Bowl yes you guys have heard of that yes um I was trending on this day of the Super Bowl because 2k dropped my entrance me offset in the Super Bowl I mean whatever but no I watched it and I was just saying I don't know who mocha everyone thinks I did the mocha I was gonna ask no okay so I need to know who she maybe it was a boy I need to know who they are they killed it I mean I think everybody has and then I had to do my entrance like a few days later and I was nervous I was like what did they really okay so I think the great thing about a video game and you know I really wish I was in a video game but I think I'm too self conscious for that I think I'm like you know looking at my neck and shoulders and all that'd be like that's not a line proper right I can't wait to play with myself but my shoulders aligned do you play as yourself I haven't played it yet oh well I'm hoping who else am I gonna play out you can be anybody in the world like you know if I could be anybody in the world I would be Blake Monroe I love it okay dream match dream match in the game you again like I can't wrestle myself um I mean I just saw Tristratus so I would say that Tristratus it's not bad it's not bad that's not bad great Nikki Bella Nikki Bella oh gosh just all the legends really Bremode Bremode I want to make myself like win all the like hardcore matches like you know there's the sell match yeah I saw like in the video live Morgan gets like thrown through it so I want to do that's like a Thia Hale or a Jada Park I just want to like do that no I don't know how you do it but that's my primary reason for like gaming will be to do that yeah it's just over and over and over now let's take that that scenario but to real life you want me to do it to them in real life would you yeah right now what now reversed you're going through the cell or my biggest fear about being at the bottom of the cell is like a Thia Hale would jump off the cell and sent on me and try to crack my ribs again so no and then I don't need Jada Park cuz but come in I mean she probably bounced off me I'm sure most guys would be like yeah now now a Robbie on the other hand he might yeah I have so many in the back to go yeah yeah yeah that'd be it that's right man if you want me yeah you should know podcast all right we're about to have the WWE champion in here we're about to have Drew McIntyre walk right through that door that's nuts now now y'all can't see him right now Chad but I can see him I mean when I say that is a gargantuan human being a lot of back I'm looking at a lot of back start WWE champion right here how are you doing man see you brother let me just take care yeah yeah yeah yeah get it now okay that's that's I mean we're going one left I'm going to chop the hell okay all right oh it's a stupid face yeah that's it says two kids enough junk you can face on it it was self and your games with the protagonist looks at it junk well I mean what a way to start you know you're right there right there I mean wow look at that thing how does that feel right yeah yeah I feel like it's supposed to be right justified vindicate screwed for more times and more and more years and I can count but finally in the end I believe it was gonna happen I prayed for it and it did happen yeah you went through a lot to get there so having it you know you you always go through those things right where you work so hard for something right you go through the valleys the hoops the bounds believes when you finally get it wasn't always though I do a lot of people don't we is it as fulfilling you know this time you know is it fulfilling to have this to wear this around yeah 100% I mean obviously the dream was a kid was BWB champion I finally did it when the world shut down I won it against brought lives in there beat them in five minutes an empty performance center and I lost it during the pandemic to Randy Orton won it back against Randy Orton in front of a bunch of screens and then lost the title before the life fans were back and during that time I felt more of a responsibility than anything I couldn't really enjoy it with no fans there for one but also it was such a scary time no matter how we feel now what we know now back then it was a terrifying time it was an unpredictable time and we were the escape I was the champion especially during the you know times we're in the warehouse I was a guy leading the charge to Roman came back and that was how I saw things was you got responsibility to help people escape so I couldn't truly enjoy it then spent years and years title shot after title shot every single time getting screwed having a banger 2024 losing the hell in the cell to punk not because of punk's a bit rest there because of blood loss because I was breaking my back on the steps then 2025 was a bit of a down year for me people started giving up like okay Drew's just not going to do he's always going to the brides made never the bride but I knew the moment's going to come the right time's going to come I kept working on my game working on my prom was working on my matches working on my body somehow got more jack even though it was already the most jack guy in the roster talked to him finally the opportunity came and I smashed I didn't just beat Cody Rhodes I beat Cody and over again Jacob five two in the same night three stages of hell became your champion of the world just facts all facts and can I say so it's being a fact I mean we were watching you through that glass and I mean you have a bag of a Greek guy yeah you got to be back I mean back to my wrestlers supposed to look y'all look like more like wrestlers and half a roster now I'm sorry everyone out there now all right now you got the high yeah you got the witness you got pretty you got pretty there when you took that little jack it off yeah no no some of like a guys like they've got something to make some difference they wouldn't be in WWE if they weren't good enough to be in WWE there's so many wrestlers in the world but I always say put it in the extra effort wherever you can look at your game be honest with yourself you don't have to be six five two eight you like me but what's going to make you stand out character wise what's going to make you stand out in ring wise what's going to make you stand out you know walking down the street how you gonna turn heads in the airport I know a lot of guys are like under six foot tall but they walk through an airport heads turn what's going to make you you know be somebody like that a true superstar have that effect or just for some it's just getting the gym and just look like an athlete but for the rest it's figure out what's gonna take you to the next level because it took me long enough to do it that's why I can see it It took me a long time to get to the top. So figure it out, even somebody in my size, it took a while to figure out what it was to get to the next level. - So what do you think was the most, not necessarily challenging as it was actually hard, but maybe it took you the longest. Was it like the mic presence? Was it the in-ring ability? Was it the overall, I mean, you're a big guy. Like you had that part, you probably definitely worked hard, but which part do you think was the hardest for you to like fully master? - That was a combination of everything. In-ring wise, I always felt good, but as you know, the in-ring, just doing the moves, and the in-ring, telling the story, and also having a great match on top of it, it takes years to master. - Truly, I still get signs so young. I started wrestling professionally at 15, did it right through school, right through university, got signed from university to WWE, was on TV three weeks after I arrived in America. - So I was just right into the fight. - He's thrown into the microscope. Chosen one at like 23, 24 in the continental champion, so I was always under the microscope, never had a chance to relax, never allowed myself to relax, and I had to get fired at 29. I am to really be out from under that microscope, have a look at myself honestly, and say okay, now that not everyone's looking at me, all the eyeballs aren't on me, who am I, what I want to be, what I want to do? And it was during that time away from the company that I truly started relaxing and honing my craft, and improving my in-ring game to wrestle like a main event, level rest, sort of applying all the lessons I had in my head, but couldn't actually apply in the ring yet, working every time on the show on the microphone, okay, I'm gonna get better at this, and the thing with the mic work wasn't that I felt like, I couldn't do it, it was relaxing. I had all these ideas in my head, but I couldn't articulate them on the microphone properly, and it was all about relaxing. And the presence, the character, the thing undertook, would tell me not to stop, that I mean jokes about now, but he would just give me advice, would stop playing the wrestler, and be the wrestler, I mean wrestling here, I mean wrestling here. I'm not being a wrestler, I'm not undertaking, right? Finally, the light bulb went off, and I get it now, I get it now, and you just look in my eyes and see, I'm not present, I'm thinking too much, you gotta be in the moment, the crowd can feel when somebody's just not in the moment, when they don't know who they are, they're not with you, they're not connected with you emotionally, you have to figure that out, or you're never gonna make it to the next level, and I figured that out during my time away from the company, also I was burning the candle at both ends, with gasoline throwing on it, going out and party, and all the time, the wife helped me kind of grow up as a man, so I returned to the company. I left as a boy, basically, returned as a man, and I was ready to go, and I put all the pieces together, and just kept evolving and learning around, such great minds to pick, you know, their brain. You know, hearing you talking, I've been a fan of you for years, but hearing you talking, like, meeting you, it's just, my respect for you just grows, how much you care about this. - You know what pisses me off now? - See 'em punk. - See 'em punk. - And Roman, in that promo they had, and they were really downplaying you. - I'm telling you, they were really downplaying this, right? And then making this seem second fiddle, I don't like that. - No, I mean, I said what I said in smack them, because it was real, I'm not a good guy, I'm not a bad guy, I say exactly how I feel, tell the truth, and people don't like the truth a lot, and then suddenly they're like, well, they're doing a big rally in Braveheart speech, that's not a very bad guy thing to do, I'm not a bad guy, I say how I feel, and Monday I watched, I really don't think they dragged me. That bad, if anything, they each other lifted me up when the other one tried to drag me. Punk would talk trash, Roman would say, come on, drugs four times bigger than you, had you cryin' over a plastic bracelet, Roman would say, I beat you three years, and Roman Punk would say, yeah, you and your family, so they never said anything bad about me, they would try, and then the other one would just tell the truth. And that's all, yeah, again, I just tell the truth, I just need others to tell the truth, and not spend their own narrative, but making the title the brand feel lesser than, so bothered me, so that's why I went out and pointed out, no matter what you say, I don't care, this is the number one title in wrestling, so one with the lineage and a really single legend that we know that made this industry, the way it is today is as big as it is today, held this title, including those two, both of them had historic reigns, so say what you want, you can't bring this title down, you can't make it second best, 'cause it'll always be number one, and as for the roster thing, the show thing, I just saw it as yes, I'm gonna tell the roster now, did you see that? You know what that did to me? - It fired me up. - It fired me up. - It fired me up. - It fired me up, and every single one of you, you should be fired up, and if I see you go into the ring and half our Senate, on the microphone, half our Senate in the ring, man or woman, I don't care, I'll be jumping in your throat and kicking you off my strokes, you don't belong on it. So if I remember back in the day, you don't smack down at 22, 23 years old in the undertaker, checking the numbers every night, what did RAW do for the international tour? Got the numbers, if we beat them, big celebration, if we didn't beat them, he'd be down your throat every single night, after every single match, making sure you were bringing your A-game, so next time we came to that town, the numbers were higher. - Oh wow. - And that made everybody great. - And now stepping into that role, 'cause you are undertaker and you're learning. Now you're at the spot where the guys in locker room are looking up to you and learning from you, how important is that to you? - Very important. - I'm not somebody that'll impose my opinions, a lot of people will go to town and go, "This is what you should do, and this is what you should do." Like opinions are like, everyone's got one, and obviously been around for a long time as an educator. But for me, it's more, if you come to me, I'll give my opinion, but like I said, if I see something that's directly making the show less than, then I will say, "Hey, maybe try it this way, unless it's genuinely bad." And I'll say, "Hey, what the hell happened?" Give me an explanation why you made our show like terrible for that five minutes. Somebody just tuned out and will not tune back in because of you. That's what you gotta think of things, isn't it? - Hey, people get sure our attention spans these days. We've a three hour smackdown. You gotta be compelling in whatever you're doing. Whether you get the microphone, whether you're just standing there, whether you have a match, whether you're waiting in the ring for your opponent to come out. That's a chance for someone to change the channel. How are you gonna hold their attention? How are you gonna captivate them? Well, they're just staring. You're dumb, figure it out. - Right. Can we acknowledge something right here? I can't get over how you absolutely just demolish these two parts. - No, you're part of it. - You know what? It must've been the 12th one I've seen today, and you know what? I'm just gonna start chopping them down. - There you go. - I know at least chopping them, let's just keep seeing as though I never get created for some of the hardest chops. I feel like I'm just gonna have to take people harder. - Yeah. - Dude, I was gonna say like I was like, "I'd love to take a chopper, man." - I think I'm good. - Yeah, I think I'm good. - That was my lifetime. I think I broke the screen behind it. That was my bad habit. - So speaking on the, I mean, just undeniable power here. In your personal life, what's your workout routine? What do you like? You a kettlebell guy? You're like getting under a nice little power clean. - Yeah. - The only time we use kettlebells is for the ab exercise. I hate it. I never really did abs. I've always had a strong core. I guess going up, but I got a trainer for the first time. I mean, I've always had to train a Rob McIntyre. He'd send me workouts from afar, send my supplements, et cetera. But I had one just living around the corner who was physically there to put me through workouts. - It's nice. I just did not think I was capable of getting any more checked, but I was. - But now I've been more mobile and things I've never done before. Like the kettlebell with the core one where you're just pushing yourself into push-up and you're slipping the kettlebell from like through each side, for like a minute at a time or like five rounds or whatever. My god, it's murdering. - Oh, that's brutal. - It worked. Like I figured I've 25 years of wrestling. You get pretty beat up. I figured, okay, this is just how my body is, how it feels. - Yeah. - But starting to do this mobility work, all these body cars, hip cars, shoulder cars, every single joint in your body, you can create some more separation. So the push together after so many years, and I can throw head kicks again for the first time in 10 years, and I gained about 10 pounds and also lost fat at the same time just by following a proper diet. I just ate burgers and pizza my whole life. And finally I was, I'll follow this diet thing, 6200 calories a day, I'll have, you know? And yeah, just incredible, this whole diet thing works. And mobility work works. I feel in the best shape of my life, and it's just in time to be the champion of this world. Your world. - Oh, yeah. Drew McIntyre, everybody. Ladies and gentlemen. - I'm legend. It was an honor. - You're great, brother. You're great, man. You're great, man. - But you should know podcast. - What's that sh*t? That's a good sh*t. - That's just me. - Oh! - It's natural. - It's natural. - There we go. - Firemones. - So you've seen the clips before? - Yes. - Okay. Now, in particular, because a lot of me and Kim's, we argue a lot, right? - Yes. - A lot of organizations. - I'm mad because I was coming in here. I was like, I wish I had a specific thing in my head. But there's, I feel like it's usually you trying to tell him something simple. - Right. - But he's on the ledge over here and it's just this big argument. - Yeah, so I feel like I'm always in the right in 99.9% of our arguments. And then he, do you have anybody like that? Like a friend that's just like, you know. - I do. - I do. He's downstairs. His name is Tyler Breeze. - Oh. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. I got him spot on. - Over dumb stuff, too, right? - Yes. - What's the last dumb argument you can remember? - It's a lot of word pronunciations. - Yeah. - Yeah. - English police here. Okay. No, no. I'm not just going outside. This man. Now, your claim he says something simple. I can agree to that. - Right. - I thought he was about to be mine. (laughing) - But the problem that I have is he simply speaks before he thinks. And as an adult man, you know, that's fine. Ever, you know, here and there. Just, you know, let some fly out. But it's starting to get irresponsible. You just, you absolutely just go for it. - Yeah. - But you just go right for it without thinking of what you're saying. - And that's where I have the problem. - That's the way to live, though, you know what I mean? - It's really not. - You see, you're just thinking about everything. You never get a sentence out. You know what I mean? - Mm. - You know, and I have a personal story with you as well. - Oh. - I think it was circa last year. - Oh. - You know, I was hard camside. I think it was a, I think it was a raw thing. - And Dallas. - Okay. - You know, you were there. - Yeah. - You know, I was a. - A road to. - Oh, so you were close. - Yeah. - So many times. - Oh, yeah. - And I don't think, I mean, it was like, you look through me to say it, too. - Well, I probably recognize you. - Okay. - I was like, 'cause I turned, well, I was by myself. So I turned, I was like, you all see that? And they were like, yeah, do you see, know you? I was like, I don't think so. And I was like, well, shit. And so, until now, I was like, hey, maybe, maybe I get an apology. So, see, so this is the thing with where I work. I work in a place world wrestling entertainment. - Yes, yes, yes. - And if you're that close in the second row, there's a chance that Cody Rhodes might come down and sign your poster. He might give you a high-five and put you on cloud nine. It is literally what I get paid to do to give you the equal but opposite reaction. So, you got your money's worth. It's what it sounds like. - 100%. - 'Cause you probably got tickets for free anyway. - No, no, I pay. - Oh, you did? - No, no, I'm okay. - There we go. Here we go. - Yeah, okay, TK, he's one of you. - Of course. - Of course. - Now, - Heard you're a gamer. Huge into the game. - I am, right? - 2K. - Yeah. - Are you the best 2K player in the locker room? - Easily. - Really? - Easily. - Have we tried it out? - No. - Okay, but I've been the best since like 2K, when did I get on the roster? 2K 12, 2K 13. - All right. - I've been here for quite a while. - That is just a crown that you are holding. You are the best. - I literally have the 2K heavyweight championship from winning the tournaments ever. I've never been beaten for it, so I will not relinquish it. And in reality, they kind of made it for me. Everybody else likes video games, that's great. I run, I don't know if you guys are familiar, up, up, down, down is the gaming channel that I run for 10 years. That I forced everyone's hand in the company to let me create. And now we do things like this, probably because of up, up, down, down. Just saying. Just saying, not many people are professional wrestlers with the accolades that I have, with the long-term career, the 22 years in the business that I have. - Talk to 'em. - Can you go us? - Talk to 'em. - 10 years strong on YouTube, making money. Not just for myself, but for the boys around me. - Damn. - Ain't nobody like me. - Mmm. - Just gonna say it. - Oh my, oh. - What, what, what, what? - I feel like fighting. - No, no, definitely not you. - No, definitely not you, but I mean, that got me going. So, you know, I'm not a gamer. - No, I'm absolutely awful. - I can tell. - Well, well, well, I'm not sure what that means. - It's okay. - Yeah, well, I've broken every finger. So I think it's a dexterity problem, you know what I'm saying? But our editor over there, editor CJ. Now, he was ranked at one point. Was that nationally or globally? - Nationally. - Right? He thinks I would be willing to put any amount of money in versus you one match, two, okay, 26. (blows raspberry) - My boy, you were ranked, you think nationally and what? (laughs) - God, right? - You're talking about God. - Yeah, boy boy. - Sure. - Sure. - How much do you want to put up? - I was gonna say change, I don't want that. - No, this one, this is not equal. (laughs) - I love it, I love it, I love it. - No, it hurts, it hurts, but I love it. - It hurts, but I love it. - Yeah, it's okay, I'm gonna put it on too. - Mine's a tuck, we're good. - I ate the rest of the day, I'm like, - Did it suck up? - It's embarrassed. - I'm like, no, what's up, guys? Look up through. - I just put them under the shirt. - Yeah. - That's why the hoodie's on. - Yeah, I'll play them. - Okay, yeah. - I would love that, and I'll put some money, and now CJ, if you lose, you're fired. - But-- - That's rough. - I've been asking everybody, do you play yourself? - My ranking fluctuates, or drops or something, and I see somebody who just came in, and they've been here long enough to have a cup of coffee with a higher rating than me, a former king of the ring. Like I said, already 22 years in the game, I'm not over six feet tall, I'm not over 250, no scars on my face, so that means what, that I'm very good at this. - Yeah. - Yeah. - So I just don't, I don't understand. - Thank you. - Appreciate it.

Ask me to become a part of it. And like, then one thing was like, "Yeah, would you mind doing it?" And I was like, "That's my job. "Y'all need me over here here." - Right. - Let's run with it, you know what I mean? - You know what I mean? I'm never not being in a video game. - I remember, nobody wanted me.

'Cause we just, we just fucking make jokes for a living, right? - No, we're not even like a wrestling podcast. - Yeah, right. - Make jokes and they, that's coming out of here. So I'm like, "All right, you know what I mean?" - Hey, bro, hold on. I feel like I see you on my phone, bro. - Probably on TikTok or something, Instagram. - Oh, bro. (all laughing) - You said that. - What's y'all not in my bed? What's y'all not? - I'm painting this as Cam, yeah. - You should know podcast, yeah. - I'll hold on, bro. - Probably arguein' about some dumb shit. - You know what I'm saying? - You're definitely goin' back and forth over here. - Oh, I'm done. - How the fuck can I think right now? - I bet when he's over, I'ma pull it some up. - Yeah, you'll see that I, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be, I'm lookin' at you.

If you're a bastard in the storyline, you know what I mean? - Yeah. - Yeah. - It's so for y'all to come in here and be like, oh, I've seen y'all, that's nuts, man. - Bro, I'm not here, I had a look, where I got seven kids, so my shit, that bread, they're showin' me, there's all type of shit. - Yeah. - I mean, where soon you said some comedian shit. - That was, I was okay. - You're intensity in the ring. - Yeah. - One of the most intense wrestlers I think I've seen in a long time. - Is that natural, or do you have to get into that before you step out of the ring? - No, it's just most, that's a nice bracelet. My bad, I ain't lookin' at it like that though. No, no, no, no, it's pretty dope though, bro. - No, to get back up in it though, no, bro, it's just, I come from trainers, bro. (laughing) - My bad, okay, okay, I'll see you soon, guys. I'll see you soon. Hey, bro, get in, we're getting this shit here. Sorry, bro, we ain't got none on the day, bro. We ain't got none on the day, bro. (laughing) And I'll go brother, get back on the intensity for a hell of a fight. You get back in on the intensity though. Man, it's just something that just came with it. I was taught though from Gangrel. Gangrel's one of my trainers. Gangrel, Rikishi, California, Black Pearl, and my father at the time of the kid. These are the men who trained me. But Gangrel, man, definitely him. He's the one that was like, hey, you know, this is gonna separate you. And, you know, okay, we all know it's a word, but at the end of the day, it's not, like our bodies go through a lot. Yeah. Oh, you know, even when I sit in there, you know, ooh, I was somebody, you know, like, well, I really catch your eyes on this. Right. You know, it might, I might be off a day, but the intensity I feel like is a, and thank you for bringing that up, bro. I mean, probably, you probably wanted the first guys to add up, brought it up, but it's good though, 'cause I really, I'll take a pride in, you know, us hitting our times and also the intensity on how I look. So thank you for that, man. That actually blows me up a whole lot more, you know what I mean? Yeah. But it's the intensity. For sure, and the sense of urgency. Like, it's, it's the sense of urgency. Bobby Ruud says that. Good stuff, dude. Yeah. I'm sorry, the reason why I popped when I said that, 'cause he just told me this past week. Yeah. So, you know, you all right. That is another big word that we use. Yeah. It's the sense of urgency. It's just, I mean, it's clear as day though. Like, you compare, I don't know about the name drop, but it's just you for the other people. Like, it's like, oh, he's like, you have to be doing that shit. Yeah, it's like, he's, this shit is, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, uh, attention. Like, these aren't like, well, he, but he's not like a super big wrestling guy. And we were watching some PLI at my house. And he was like, I'm gonna fuck his athletic dog. And he was like, he was like into the match. And that was the first match and he was like, like this. Yeah. You were just like the way you presented yourself and the way he shares up in the ring, it's, uh, it's, uh, attention grabbing for you. No, right on. Thanks, bro. I don't know if you ever shut out the edge of your couch like that before. But I'm glad I had you like that. All right. So thank you. All right. Good. No, thank you for that. And it's different though. I know when you felt that, you know, that makes me feel good. Okay. Cool. You know, it's, it's still working. You know, I feel like it separates me a lot. 100% good looking on. Yeah, bro. Got you, man. Got you, man. Okay. Before you get out of here, because I know you've got a lot of running around. Well, I'm just trying to go use some pizza after that. And I ain't doing too much. But we look at your bracelet again. I'll put you on. I got a guy. Um, so you, you, uh, I mean, you were a father. Yeah. Yes. So I have recently become a father. I have a kid. So what is, I got another one, another bun and oven. So I appreciate it. We got to the club, baby. Yes, sir.

You got to, you got to adapt to all their personalities, dude. All right. You got to adapt to all their personalities. And man, shout out to the moms. Shout out to the moms, bro. For real, bro, because I wouldn't be able to do this if I wanted for my wife, bro. She left me at home all one day with all the kids. She deserved a couple. She made my wife deserve more than ever. But she left me out. Gave her a call. They wanted different things to eat. She like, I'm calling her like, what you want? You like, bro, you sound stressed out, bro. No, no. I'm good. That's all we got. You got to take a photo. Yeah. I got this. But overall, bro, just a dance today, personalities. And for you, obviously you're doing a good thing. A lot of people ashamed to talk about their kids on anything. Oh, yeah. Probably ashamed to where they ring. I mean, I ain't got money right now, yeah. I mean, but my wife knows. I didn't know. Yeah. But man, bro, obviously, bro, you're proud to speak about your children. You already doing the right thing. And bro you grinding to bro. How does you 27? Oh, bro. That grinded 27 on the grind right now, bro. There we go. 27 trying to figure it out You hear now 27. How does you 20 I just turned 27? Y'all got partners who never left the city. Y'all got partners who in too many. It's okay It ain't they fault. I know they still long, you know, we still don't love them. So of course y'all y'all here, bro Y'all doing it. I'm not y'all here with me. I'm here with you. Come on now my dog. All right, and by the way my breath don't smell It's not good. All right, but if you I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to go back I don't know if I want the odor now because I'm like smelling this microphone if I can you mean I wouldn't want to smell bad breath podcast And now you're one of the best talkers of all times. Oh, so I just kind of want to just give you the floor for all of this now There is something going on right now, but what's going on? Oh I mean we're starting with you know how I smell. Yeah, you smell fantastic. You didn't know you did smell great Okay, now a good talker requires a good scent. That's one thing I've known I agree I mean is there a question about it? What is your sister's perfume? Ladies and gentlemen here till Thursday. Please try the real Okay, let's talk about what's currently going on Now he got me The whole time I'm a man he really wants to give out Yeah, I was like normally people like they keep and I said he wants to tell the world Oh, so eager to know that we didn't do it. What is it yet me? All right the vision right now Going through it got a masked man coming through stopping everybody Riddled with injury. What's going on right now? Oh, keeps things interesting. I mean adversity defines character doesn't it? Yes, so if we if we don't come back from this adversity then then then the vision was never clear to begin with and we then I Shouldn't be calling them the the future main events of WrestleMania for many many many many many generations to come Then then it is a prediction and not a spoiler, but if we come through this adversity Well, then now you've seen us tried and tested now now you've seen us go through the trials and tribulations in any top-back has to go through Roman Reigns Excuse me my tribal chief would never have become the tribal chief if he had not spent so many years languishing as the big dog Yep, and languishing on top in the main event of WrestleMania But never getting the acceptance of the audience with the acknowledgement that he deserved because they were presenting an Authentic character once he stopped being a character and he Let you know that he is the tribal chief and that he is the head of the table and that he is worthy of your acknowledgement then All of a sudden everyone realized oh my god. This is who Roman Reigns is CM Punk being the best in the world and it was a WWE champion and it kind of accepted him for that until we were put together on television And I said stop playing anybody just be yourself and and and and my god was he the biggest On the world in 2012 because that's who CM Punk is ask any of his best friends in the world How is he yeah, and he let that come out on television to a degree at the time that 134 days his champion was unheard of so it's the same thing with the vision These are our trials and tribulations. This is the adversity that we face and coming through that adversity and Thriving after that adversity is the definition of what it takes to be a WrestleMania main eventer of which all four members of the vision will be Speak about WrestleMania main event CM Punk got Roman Reigns two guys. Why do history with them? Where are you having this? How do you feel cuz you have the best friend former or current? You know, I mean how are you how are you feeling in this you looking for prediction? No, how are you feeling? I know I'm saying in your heart for you. Yes. I think with my hands Emotionally you're a comic Emotionally how are you feeling? I don't I don't think emotionally I'm a motion with your business. I I think strategically I think tactically, you know, and I I I I think With which side of the equation do I exploit for my own personal benefit moving into WrestleMania and past it? I got I mean honesty that I mean you want to talk about honesty because I'm think I'm gonna think who do I have to Over to make sure I eat you know what I respect I respect that but Paul. You're human and I know somewhere in there It's a big soft heart. I know you gotta feel something. I do but I but I ignored it's This is how I this is how I feed my family sorry. I don't let emotions play into that Listen I can sit there and invest in stocks that I feel emotionally attached to because of the way that they treat the little fluffy Animals and the woods and everything. I'm not investing in companies like that I'm investing in companies that maximize profit for their shareholders So WrestleMania main event is the tribal chief Roman Reigns against the best in a world CM punk for the world Heavyweight Championship and I'm looking at it from an analytical position where I'm going to assess what is best for me and the People around me and it depends on me to make us decisions going into and past WrestleMania You know does that ever get you in any kind of problem always just looking for yourself always seeing what you can get out of a situation But it's not just about myself. I there are a lot You know, it's like the scene of the part of where Leo DiCaprio said to Jack Nicholson There are a lot of people whose lives depend on the thought that you know what the fuck you're doing And there's a lot of people who have placed their careers in my hand tell me something that Logan Paul doesn't have the leverage to negotiate Logan Paul chooses to be with Paul Heyman Braun Breaker it was deemed the future of this industry before he was with Paul Heyman If he didn't want to be with Paul Heyman, if you didn't consider that an upgrade from where he was He wouldn't have to be Bronson Reed was smashing people left and right six tsunamis on Seth Rollins put Seth Rollins out Ascended to the top of the roster from the languishing mid card and And after suffering mid card mediocrity and took it upon himself to become a top star And who has been held back more than Austin theory? So you take all of these people and let alone look at the trials and tribulations That that that that that that befell Brock Lesnar all these people choose to be with Paul Heyman There are five people whose careers right now are tied and intricately and passionately and Intimately with Paul Heyman. So I don't look at it selfishly like it's just on behalf of Paul Heyman I look at it on behalf of Paul Heyman on behalf of Brock Lesnar on behalf of Braun Breaker on behalf of Logan Paul on behalf of Austin theory on behalf of Bronson Reed and on behalf of the WWE audience And I'm not going to say the the typical corporate WW universe But it's the audience because it's the audience that truly matters the most and I look at it on behalf of the audience as well Hoping to stay ahead of the curve enough that I understand not only what they wanted this year's WrestleMania But well, they how will this year's WrestleMania transcendent to next year's WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia? And how is that WrestleMania lead to WrestleMania 2028? Mm-hmm. You should know podcast. How are you? I'm good. How are you guys? We're good. Fantastic. Fantastic. Everything your day been good? My day has been amazing. I just started. Awesome. How much do you love the whole running around talking thing? I don't love it at all. You need to be doing media. Really? Yeah. Why is that? I don't know. I don't really like listening to my voice. I feel like I have really high pitch voice and it gets kind of annoying. Really? Yeah. Okay, so how about do you watch your matches back? No. Really? Well, so I'm like kind of forced to because it's like kind of how you get better. Yeah, exactly. You know, but I hate watching them back. I hate it. I cringe. That literally reminds me of us in the beginning of the podcast. I was like, oh my god. I was like, I hate my voice. I hate how I'm like sent. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, so you're you're rise to the top here. I mean, it was it was monumental. Thank you. What do you credit that to? Who? What? Or who? Or what? Or really? I just want to thank me myself and I. No, um, I want to say my gymnastics background helped a lot. I feel like that gave me a leg up and wrestling. 100% and then obviously the performance center taught me everything that I knew know about wrestling. So, um, yeah, performance center and gymnastics. Was that like was that a maybe not hard, but like a weird bridge to like close that gap on? Just gymnastics and then making it. Yeah, wrestling is really weird, like really, really, really weird. Like there's so many unspoken rules and don't get me wrong. Like I love wrestling, but it's literally such a like odd business. Yeah, you know, like it's just so different from anything. I feel like I've ever done, um, it's so different from sports. It's not just like a sport. It's also entertainment. Yeah, so it's like putting the two together and then mixing TVs every week, PLEs every month, going out of the country every month, it's a lot. How is that travel? I couldn't imagine like I took a three hour flight here and I was snifed. Yeah, so how do you do it? It's hard. It's really, really hard. You kind of just get into your routine of, um, you know, like, you fly home, you work out, you know, you fall asleep early that day because you had such a early flight that morning and then You kind of like reset until you have to. fly out for TV the next week. It's a lot, trust me. - Yeah, see, I couldn't do it. I honestly couldn't do it. Do you have any like plane tips for me? Like the long flights? 'Cause we're about to go on tour in UK and Australia. And I've never been on a flight that long. You're gonna have any tips you got for us? - No, I would just hope there's Wi-Fi. I always buy the Wi-Fi and I doom-scrull and take talk. - Dude, I thought that was a non-negotiable Wi-Fi on planes. That might be-- - Don't people don't buy it? - I don't know. - 100%. If you're not buying Wi-Fi on flight, you're a psychopath. - That'd be me sometimes. I like the little free movie. I'm in my little historical movie bag. I'll watch some of the World War II night falsely. - Okay. - It's like, what the hell? - Since we're here to promote 2K26, you can do Dream Matches, right? A Dream Match for you in your career. - I've already lived out two of my Dream Matches. - Okay. - Those are like, we're my two main ones. I do have a new Dream Match. - Me versus Rhea Ripley. - Oh, dude. That'd be fantastic. Let's put out in the universe. Let's make it happen. - So that's there. - Going over? - Um, maybe like a non-finish? - Okay. - No. - There it is. - I'm going over. - You're going over right there, answer it. - No, I'm going over. It does. - Yeah, of course. - It's the PME. - Yeah. - This means whatever. - Okay, dude. - Honestly, let's talk about it. - Let's talk about it. - Double jump up, most athletic thing I've seen. - Oh my god, thank you. - Sometimes when I haven't hit it in a long time or like a couple of weeks, I'm like, sorry. - Go for it. You can say whatever you want. - Whatever you want. - Okay. - I'm going over. - I'm like, oh my god. Can I still do this? But can I still do my, my finisher? So sometimes I do have like a mini heart attack like out there live in front of everyone jumping from the middle to the top one. And then as soon as I push off, I just dump my head back. - Yeah. - And I'm praying. - See, now I don't know if it was my, my white set hips or my bad lower back. - Might be both combination. - I was never good at a backflip. Trampoline, little like urban air bounce part. None of the, never good at a backflip. I mean, you know what I was like, just took your head and grab your knees. I'm like, it doesn't work. - Optically, you don't give athletic. That's true. I'm definitely more of the tactical guy. I'm the skill guy. Not the athlete. - 100%. Okay. Whenever your career is all set and done, 100 years from now. - Yes. - What do you want? - You know what I'm talking about? - She's like, realistic. - She's like, I really hope it's not 100 years. - 100. - Like, what do you want people to look back when they see you? What do you want them to say? - That I was iconic that I could do it all. She could wrestle, she can cut a promo, she had good character work. I would love for people to say that about me. I want to become a household name one day, you know, like Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, your strategist. I would love that. And I also want to have a lot of money one day. - That's fantastic. - I mean, but you should know podcast. - Can I say something to you? - 'Cause I'm a big Chelsea Green guy. - Are you? - Oh, huge. Oh, I was on Twitter this past week or two, you know, 'cause there was some behind-the-scenes stuff happening, right? And I tweeted, I said Chelsea Green, it's going to be a world champion. It did so well. - Did I like it? - No. - Wait, that's crazy. - No, no, it's okay. - It's okay, I really be Vanity's person and like, you know, it's sweet. - Well, maybe I'll tweet it again and we can try it. But how does that feel? - There's been a huge outcry for you on social media about, you know, after- - No, it is crazy, it is crazy. And I am definitely feeling the love. I feel, I feel split down the middle because one part of me is like, guys, I'm not an underdog. I've been doing this 12 years. Like, I've had so many opportunities. I've been given so many like crazy moments. And then on the other hand, I'm like, no, f*ck it. I'm just going to take it. Like, I'm going to take everything I can get and like, all this love and everything. Look, you're not, you're not going to be loved all the time. And I've been hated and I've been canceled and I've been like, f*ck it on on social media. So this is such a nice breath of fresh air for me. But the pressure, it's a lot of pressure. - You're built for it. - A lot of pressure. - But that's where your hard work and all your years have come in. You're ready for it. - Come on now. - And pressure, what does pressure do? - Builds, diamonds. - Period. There we go. - It does it? - No, it does. - Statistically? - Yeah, I think it's about it. - A minor from the lab, lab-grown. - Oh, and one of those, that's fine. - That's fine. - You're young, right? You got to be young. - What's young? - Are you like late 20s? - Yeah. - Yeah, that's fine. - That's 27. - That's why. I could have guessed that. - Are we supposed to be? - Yes, don't guess my age because earlier it was slightly disrespecting. It was slightly disrespecting. But I would love to hear what you think. How old do you think I am? - No, no. I won't play that game. - Oh, come on. - No, no, no. I did it and then I was regretting it as it was happening. - Oh my gosh. - She did it in her head, she just like 41. - No, okay. - That's 75. - Yeah, I need, okay, I know I have a beef tallow. I need a better moisturizer. I need a better, I need a whole, I've already talked to my wife. - I know. - She's gonna get me right. - I don't think so, like I would have guessed. Okay, hold on. - Oh God. - Oh boy. - Add seven or whatever she says. 'Cause that's not what she really meant. - No. - Don't play that game. - No, that's true, that's true. - I will be honest with you. I think you look, I'm gonna save 31. - Oh my gosh, there he is, there he is, there he is, there he is. - Are you 25? - I'm 27, we're the same age. So, you know, maybe it's like wisdom. It's either wisdom or the creases in the forehead. - No. - Or the baggy eyes, 'cause I just had a kid. - Yeah. - Did you believe? - Yes, a little baby. - He's a little nugget. - Don't mind the bullet hole in my screen. Thank you. - I am, thank you, yeah. - He is, yeah. - He's always been mine. - Yeah. - That's right. - Good morning. I was like level headed a little bit more normal. I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't say that. But, you know, like a little bit more grounded. I come home. I love my home life. I've got dogs. I've got cats. I'm a mommy. - For sure. - Yeah, exactly. - A mommy, not a real mommy, but a firm mom. So, it kind of just like keeps, you know, social media like off to the side when I get home. I don't need to think about that. - So, how does it feel being, 'cause like you say, we saw the unreal with the house, how does it feel that your hard work, your passion, wrestling like has afforded you something that's always been like a goal and a dream? - It's crazy because in the past three years, I feel like everything has changed. Like I just struggled, struggled, struggled for nine years to like just build everything I wanted, the life that I knew I wanted. And so, it's very rewarding to, you know, like be driving home from the airport, from my dream car, driving into my dream house, my dream dog's looking at me, like, you know what I mean? I'm just like, it's not all about money at all, but like this job and the salary that comes with it has afforded me a lot of those things. - Exactly. - I wanted all those things I had a great life before, but now I'm like, wow, like I had my in-laws visit this week and they can visit this beautiful house. - Yeah, exactly. - That's so nice. - That's awesome. - It's always been a Chelsea Green guy and just meeting you is just elevated times ten. You're the best. Chelsea Green everybody. - Thank you. - That's it. - I didn't know we got told it. Yeah, I got it. - I got it. - She goes, she goes, she goes. - I'm too bad. - Well, next time you're in Dallas, we'll do a real episode. - Yeah. - You should know podcast. - It is an honor to meet you. - I'm such a big fan. - I'm a big fan of you are one of the reasons that my girlfriend got into wrestling. She saw you and she was like, oh, she's a badass. It's like a superhero, you know what I mean? You have the craziest spots, I think. I've seen, how does it feel? Those spots you do. Like putting a trashcan over your head on top of a steel cage. - So yeah, that is totally crazy idea. When I did the first time, I didn't realize it's completely blind and that that makes me scared. - Yeah. - I thought I can do it. I will enjoy it, but actually put it in my head and then completely blind. Oh my gosh, I'm so scared. And what should I do? What should I do? Anyway, I have to jump. - Right. - That's all. So yeah, that was crazy idea. But now, I did a couple of times, that moves. And now getting better. Like, I'm getting comfortable. - Come to? - Yeah. And even I can enjoy that move. - Yeah. - So trashcan is one of my friends. - There you go. - Is there any spot or move you think you'd be too scared to do? Or you kind of open everything? - So actually, some people saying I'm so much athletic. I'm honored to hear that. But actually, I don't think I'm so athletic. I am just like a no fear. - Right. - Because I cannot twist. I cannot do back grip. I cannot do front grip. But I cannot twist. So that's one. Tiffany Bakel doing the finish move. - Right. - And her move is amazing. I cannot do twisting. - Really? - Yeah. But I have confidence to my moves out. Over the moves out. My moves out is very strong. I'm jumping so far. And I have proud about to do my finish move. - It's crazy. She said, "I'm not too athletic." What are we then? - You're definitely humble. So I would say, what do you think? Just your whole journey up to this point. What has been maybe the hardest part to master for you? Like in ring skills, on the mic skills, sticking into your character, being just anything of wrestling. What was one of the ones that you had to work the most on? - Of course, promo. - Yeah. And that's a very common answer. Like a lot of people say that. - Oh. - Because it does y'all, I mean, y'all do a fan. Fantastic, but there's I feel like the the average consumer doesn't realize how much like work Y'all put in behind the scenes. Yeah, and like how long or how like Much of a process it is to become that good at it. So yeah, because of course I have language barrier You can speak English.

This is can we have a podcast called the you should know podcasts I mean this is probably gonna be the the dumbest show you'll be on we just are too bad that I strongly doubt that We're just two best friends that like to shoot the guy, you know, and you know, we grew up Wrestling guys, I think ww knew that and for some reason they let us in this room So this is this is just monument. I gotta say I'm this is gonna be a blur and then tomorrow I'll be like oh, we really did that. I hope to make it memorable for you. Yeah, well, we're just gonna You know, ask some regular questions. You're on the you're on the cover. Yeah, come here. Yeah, so 2013 right 2k 13 I think so you're you're on the cover now Explain the difference between that feeling then getting that cover in this cover this year Oh boy, you know, I think I really had to fight for that 2013 cover. Yeah, I think the office did not want me on that cover And I think this time There wasn't any other option. Yeah, that's in the world. That's that's the biggest difference You know a lot of the times in life and I find in my career like I'll do something once and then I'm good Yeah, you know, I don't need to revisit stuff, but this is super cool. There's a lot of work that comes with it You know a lot of press a lot a lot of travel We got to sell copies of this video game and it is a lot of work, but it's it's worth it like if this is everything that I ever Beyond everything that I ever probably dreamed about when I was a kid, you know, right right so this run right now You're run the WW right now World Heavyweight Champion. Congratulations. By the way, thank you. My favorite champion. Here we go. I mean, that is I mean, that is just that is It's all a side place. Oh, yeah, look at that. It's a little different with that. I almost touched it and I would have been a sin And I thought are you sure? Yeah, you know, excuse me. I'm just give it a squeeze. Yeah, that's beautiful That's a piece. Archim you go get a touch and that one up just squeeze not that hard. Yeah, all right. There you go. All right. Very good. What is this? What is this run for you now? What are you trying to achieve? Is it anything? Is this like a for your legacy? Are you still trying to prove something or you just is just the passion of wrestling? I just man. I enjoy it so much. I think, you know, I'll have a different answer depending on what day the week it is about legacy and all that, but you know, ultimately like we're We all we all die. You're right. You know, and when I'm dead, I don't think everyone I'll be reduced to just always due to wrestle. Okay. So while I'm above ground, you know, try to seize every opportunity and make the most of it. And I think I'm just trying to squeeze out as many amazing moments and memories as I can just run. Yeah, is there anything you feel like you want to accomplish or anything? But it's almost impossible, right? Like you've done everything. Um, I mean, if I'm a completist, I have to win a Royal Rumble, you know, uh, Rumbles aren't fun, you know, you get beat up by like 20 or another guys, you know, find out you're going in number six, you're like, all right, long night. Yeah, you know, um, so in terms of anything I want to accomplish, I just, I really, I really just want to tell the best stories. I want to make people emotional about the things I do. I want to draw that out of them, whether it's, you know, make them really, really mad or make them really, really happy sometimes make them real, real sad. Yeah, you know, it's about tugging on the heartstrings, I think, and telling the stories. I think I think you do that the best. I mean, you're your promo against Roman. I mean that I haven't seen a reaction for a promo like that in years since since the last promo I did. Exactly, right? Do you, do you look at that online reaction? I'm sure you're not online like that. But do you see what the people are saying? Does that make you feel something? Okay, I did my job. Like these people are now way more invested than they were before. Listen, when the company, uh, whose production is, you know, off the charts, they're making, uh, video packages about a promo. Yeah, I know I did my job. You know, it's normally a match fair to split together. And there's the greatest hits in like the big, the big, the big moments in the, the spectacular moves clipped together with like a badass song. And like when they're doing it for a promo. Yeah, I know, I know a grand slam when I hit me out of the park. I'm that guy. Yeah, like I just hit that ball and you look and you know, and you've had flipped. Yeah, you just walk the bases. No harm. You know, it's a, we got to, we got to wrap this, but dude, could we set our debate? I was just about to say you said badass song. I'm gonna let you. Okay, because the debate happens in your house way more. Cult of personality. Yeah, fire burns. I mean, cult of personality to me. Like this is a song that's been with me for years and years and years. And 1989, my little league team song was cult of personality. You know, on the Indies, I used cult of personality. Right. And it was like, it was one of the big negotiating pieces that when I was gonna leave and go out the door and Vince was like, no, no, I can't, I can't lose you. I gave him a bunch of demands that I thought he would say no to just so I could go home. Yeah. And he said yes to him all and one of them was licensing cult of personality. That's a man who hated paying other people for their music, and it's everything, it's everything that CM Punk is, it's punk rock, it's counter culture, it says something and it's an as-beater of the song. Yeah, anytime it comes down at the bar, I'm going to know it was the best. Now I got another question for you. So Drew was in your earlier, he punched both of these to the ground. Yeah, what a child. He said he said it made the room look dark and didn't fit. He said he didn't belong on the cover of the game. A man makes the room look dark. It is what I'm saying. What do you think about the actions he took? Literally, this is actually the second one. He bent the pole. I already hit it because he said he hated it and he didn't deserve to be in here. Oh, there it is. We still got the things here, but yeah. Well, that's a guy who is probably a master of beating his pole. Yeah, he is. What else can I say? CM Punk, it's been an honor. This is a dream for Phil. Thanks, guys. Appreciate your time, man. Thank you very much. Yeah, this is sick. I'll see you guys at the performance center. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, your brother. You look clean. Oh, you look too. Yeah, man. You're right here. What's up, guys? Are you? Dude. How are we doing? Everything good, man. Hey, yo, it is moment. Yeah. Dude, that's a clean suit.

Actually, can I. Can you judge my pantowalk? Yeah. That you need to build a blow. Yeah, I can't come getting you. Because this is the most important thing for the pantowalk. Yeah. Because the wall is growler. Yeah. But you need to put the blow like this. Like this. Oh. Yeah. This is nearly too much. But it's very important. Shoulder. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. The energy. Oh. There we go. Oh, yeah. Pull now. Tung out. Tung out. There you go. Now he's got a fat tongue. You're looking at a real fat tongue. feeling going into that?
