[0:43] I've been working very hard on that.
[0:46] Congratulations.
[0:47] Thank you, eight years sober.
[0:48] That's amazing.
[0:49] Wow, that's amazing.
[0:52] Eight years.
[0:53] Well, you know, the last time I was here, I was a bit of a mess.
[0:58] I popped two drug tests here.
[0:59] I was a little bit of a loose cannon.
[1:01] I was younger though.
[1:02] You can share what you want to share.
[1:04] Yeah, yeah.
[1:05] And I remember at that point in time, we were like,
[1:08] putting it on Twitter and stuff, and I was like-
[1:10] There was a lot of, and myself included, a lot of concern for you.
[1:15] Absolutely, I know.
[1:16] And just, you know, because we could just see you going down a not great path.
[1:22] But, you know, there's no telling somebody when they want to do whatever they want to do.
[1:27] Yeah, exactly.
[1:29] But here you are.
[1:30] I know.
[1:30] Yes.
[1:31] I know.
[1:32] I remember the first time I came back too, it was 2017.
[1:35] I remember you just giving me the biggest hug, you know, and you're like,
[1:39] I'm just- you actually said, I'm glad that you're still alive.
[1:42] Yeah.
[1:42] I remember that so clearly.
[1:43] I was scared to death.
[1:44] Yeah, and I was like, yeah, me too.
[1:46] Like, you know, it's good to be here.
[1:48] And then having that big break in between as well, these eight years not being here,
[1:53] coming back, and I was like, man, I just have to get as healthy as possible
[1:57] when I go back there, you know.
[1:58] Get in shape, make sure I'm eating good.
[2:00] Yeah, thank you.
[2:01] Amen.
[2:02] Yes.
[2:03] And still in the ring.
[2:04] I was still blown up.
[2:05] I was like, oh my God, I'm blowing up my ass, dude.
[2:08] But yeah, like-
[2:09] You were just jacked.
[2:10] I covered it.
[2:11] I mean, it was another level.
[2:13] I just- well, you- you- all those lights at Mania, you forget how hot they are.
[2:17] Right.
[2:18] And like all the heat in the room and stuff like that.
[2:20] And so I'm like, I completely forgot that feeling.
[2:23] And then walking out, obviously, we were just talking about how it was shaking.
[2:25] Yeah.
[2:26] And I was just like, I was just so excited.
[2:28] And then once I got in the ring, I was just like, oh my God, I have to try and keep up
[2:31] with these girls now, you know.
[2:32] But you did.
[2:33] Yeah, you did.
[2:34] I did.
[2:35] You did.
[2:36] For that short stint I was in the ring, you know.
[2:37] How much training did you do?
[2:38] I did do a lot of training.
[2:39] Yeah.
[2:40] The week leading up, though, I only went to the gym once, and I regret that so much.
[2:44] But I had all these other signings to do.
[2:46] There's no excuse.
[2:47] I should be in the gym.
[2:48] I went to, like, last weekend, you know, we went to the gym at, like, one in the morning
[2:53] just to make sure that we were going to the gym, you know.
[2:55] Right, right, right.
[2:56] I don't have any excuses.
[2:57] Well, there's something to be said for giving your body a little rest right before.
[3:00] Sure.
[3:01] Right?
[3:02] Sure.
[3:03] Yeah, definitely.
[3:04] And I was trying to eat as good as I possibly could, but I did eat pizza the day before mania,
[3:05] too.
[3:06] And I was like, oh, no, but.
[3:07] Oh, you know, I could tell.
[3:08] Yeah.
[3:09] You could tell.
[3:10] She said that yesterday, actually.
[3:11] Yeah.
[3:12] You know what?
[3:13] I was like, oh, she's bloated.
[3:14] Yeah.
[3:15] I was wearing shapewear in the ring.
[3:18] I was wearing shapewear.
[3:19] Oh, my God.
[3:20] You're so tiny.
[3:21] I know.
[3:22] Now I am.
[3:23] I feel like I do need to put on a little bit of weight.
[3:24] I saw Dean Malenko.
[3:25] Yeah.
[3:26] And he was just like, you're in great shape.
[3:27] And he was like, I feel like you can put a little bit of meat on your bones.
[3:29] And I was like, good.
[3:30] Yeah, you're right.
[3:31] You're right.
[3:32] I went a little bit too serious with the way I was eating and the way I was moving.
[3:35] Well, you just need to add some more protein.
[3:36] Yes, exactly.
[3:37] Yeah.
[3:38] I need to just do more.
[3:39] I mean, and carbs and fat are good too.
[3:40] Oh, I love it.
[3:41] No, I'm going to eat it.
[3:42] Trust me.
[3:43] I saw myself and I was like, oh, my legs are a little skinnier than they usually are.
[3:47] And I was like, no, I don't like that.
[3:48] But you look fantastic.
[3:49] Thank you.
[3:50] So great.
[3:51] And it'll be awesome.
[3:52] And any phase of you is amazing.
[3:54] I'm a chow.
[3:55] I'm a chow town.
[3:56] I'm a eat.
[3:57] That's a great thing to be told to eat.
[3:59] Oh, it is.
[4:00] Oh, I love that.
[4:01] Yeah.
[4:02] Get you some carbs.
[4:03] Yeah, no problem.
[4:04] This is another thing you said.
[4:05] I always keep things in my mind when it comes to you.
[4:08] She's very special to me.
[4:09] You know, always been a total sweet heart.
[4:11] The feelings are mutual.
[4:12] I just adore you.
[4:13] And I remember sitting in the makeup chair and you were just like, how is your stomach still
[4:18] flat even when you're sitting in a makeup chair?
[4:20] And I was just like, oh, it made me feel so good.
[4:23] You know?
[4:24] And so like 14 years later, I was like, hey, if I'm going back, I want Stephanie to see me
[4:29] sitting down and having a flat stomach.
[4:30] You know what I mean?
[4:31] Yes.
[4:32] Hell yeah.
[4:33] You should feel a million bucks.
[4:35] You're very wise.
[4:36] You're very wise.
[4:37] And the things you say kind of like hit a lot of people.
[4:40] I think we're talking about you before you came in here.
[4:43] You know?
[4:44] About me being late?
[4:45] No, no, no.
[4:46] It's okay to be late.
[4:47] It's not okay.
[4:48] It's not okay.
[4:49] It's your time.
[4:50] You were working.
[4:51] Yes, I know, but still.
[4:52] You made a point to call her because she felt so bad.
[4:55] I thought it was so nice.
[4:56] Yeah, you called me being like, I'm so sorry.
[4:58] And I'm like, hey, you're the boss.
[4:59] I was.
[5:00] I feel like that's unprofessional.
[5:01] Yeah, I appreciate it.
[5:02] But for me, not for you.
[5:03] I'm the host.
[5:04] We're in the middle of WrestleMania, you guys.
[5:06] And she's got a billion things to do.
[5:09] And she's 10 minutes late.
[5:10] And she's like, I am so sorry.
[5:12] I'm like, hey, you got a lot on your plate right now.
[5:14] Well, don't we all?
[5:15] Oh, dude.
[5:16] Yeah.
[5:17] This week's been a busy one.
[5:18] Yeah.
[5:19] Tell us about it.
[5:20] And tell us how you were feeling and how did it all come to be.
[5:23] You know, let me tell you the story of how it came to be.
[5:25] Because it involves Jelly and Bunny.
[5:27] Really?
[5:28] Yeah.
[5:29] So I'm actually, one of my best friends is Bunny.
[5:31] I love that woman so much.
[5:32] Like we are very, very close, right?
[5:34] Wow.
[5:35] And so she.
[5:36] Hey, how's her book tour doing?
[5:37] Oh, she's crushing.
[5:38] Yeah.
[5:39] Like six weeks in a row, she was like the New York Times bestseller.
[5:42] She's amazing.
[5:43] Smashing.
[5:44] And I was so proud of her.
[5:45] But she was doing her book tour and she was doing her live podcast.
[5:48] And she was in L.A.
[5:49] So she texted me being like, can you come on?
[5:50] I was like, absolutely.
[5:51] Awesome.
[5:52] And so I get there.
[5:53] And then, you know, her manager comes and gets me.
[5:55] And she was like, hey, you got a friend in there.
[5:57] And I was like, who?
[5:59] And I go down there and it's Brad Slayer.
[6:01] So that's Dwayne's agent.
[6:02] Yeah.
[6:03] Right.
[6:04] And I've known him for over 10 years because of fighting with my family and stuff.
[6:06] You know, a great guy.
[6:07] Always checks in on me every six months.
[6:09] That's great.
[6:10] Yeah.
[6:11] And he was in there and he was like, it's so great to see you.
[6:13] Gives me a big hug.
[6:14] And then Jelly was just like, I'm going to end up cussing a little bit.
[6:17] But he was like, what the fuck?
[6:19] You know?
[6:20] When are you going to bring it back?
[6:21] Give a call to your guy and stuff.
[6:22] And Brad looks at me and he's like, do you want to come back?
[6:25] And I was just like, yeah, I would love to come back.
[6:27] Really?
[6:28] Yeah, I would love it.
[6:29] You know?
[6:30] And he was like, all right, let me make a call.
[6:31] So he calls Nick and within 30 minutes, you know, Nick had said, sure, let's get a meeting
[6:36] with her.
[6:37] Awesome.
[6:38] A week later, he fires to LA to the WWE officers out there.
[6:41] I went and met him for about 10 minutes.
[6:42] You know, great guy.
[6:43] Right.
[6:44] Love him.
[6:45] Right.
[6:46] He is a really, really great guy.
[6:47] Yeah.
[6:48] Big fan of him.
[6:49] And super smart, right?
[6:50] Super smart.
[6:51] Yeah.
[6:52] Oh my gosh.
[6:53] And you know, talk about psychology.
[6:54] Yeah.
[6:55] He's got a business brain on him.
[6:56] Yeah.
[6:57] You know, and a people brain.
[6:58] Yes.
[6:59] He's got both.
[7:00] I thought I'd be intimidated by him.
[7:02] But going in there.
[7:03] He's easy going.
[7:04] He's easy going.
[7:05] Yeah.
[7:06] Yeah.
[7:07] And so he's like two things.
[7:08] Well, in a certain setting.
[7:09] Yeah, sure.
[7:10] Sure.
[7:11] He goes, two things.
[7:12] Your neck has to be okay.
[7:13] And we have to do a drug test.
[7:14] Right?
[7:15] Because I was like, fair enough.
[7:16] I was like, hey, I can control the drug test.
[7:18] I'm clean as a whistle.
[7:19] You know?
[7:20] Yeah.
[7:21] And so I was like, I don't know how my neck's been.
[7:22] It's been a few years since I got it checked.
[7:23] The last time I got it checked, it was perfect.
[7:25] So I'm not really concerned about it.
[7:27] You know, I fly to, the next week I fly to Birmingham.
[7:30] Nikki was there getting her ankle.
[7:32] Oh, wow.
[7:33] Yeah.
[7:34] Same time.
[7:35] Wow, that's weird.
[7:36] That's super weird.
[7:37] I was like, what the heck?
[7:38] Yeah, that's definitely.
[7:39] Yeah, it was like perfect timing.
[7:40] Yeah.
[7:41] And so I was at the doctor there from like 5.45 a.m.
[7:44] until like three or four in the afternoon doing all these tests.
[7:48] Because, I mean, you guys have to be thorough, right?
[7:50] Yeah.
[7:51] Make sure my neck is perfect.
[7:52] And at one point I thought I was going to, something was wrong.
[7:54] Because all the doctors around the screen just being like, you know.
[7:57] He's like, right?
[7:58] Yeah, calling up a doctor.
[7:59] Talking, pointing at stuff.
[8:00] Oh, my gosh.
[8:01] I was like, something's happening.
[8:02] They're not going to let me go back, you know.
[8:04] And then I'm exhausted just sitting there, you know, waiting for the answer.
[8:08] And then he comes in and he was like, you ready to go home, kid?
[8:10] And I was like, I bawled my eyes out.
[8:13] We actually have clips of it.
[8:14] My friend was recording it.
[8:15] I cried my eyes out.
[8:17] Yeah, it was a couple of things.
[8:20] The fact that my neck was good.
[8:21] And I get, last time I was in WWE, my neck wasn't.
[8:24] And I had to retire.
[8:25] And I had to miss out on all these massive things like the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber.
[8:30] Like all these things I didn't get to be a part of.
[8:32] Even though I was part of the group that helped kind of.
[8:34] Right, yeah, you were.
[8:35] For sure.
[8:36] Yeah, and then.
[8:37] They made a whole movie about it.
[8:39] A whole movie about it.
[8:40] I keep forgetting about that thing.
[8:42] You know, and it's just the fact that I'm going to be okay.
[8:46] And so I was like, wow, my neck is good.
[8:48] I'm happy.
[8:49] I'm healthy.
[8:50] Like everything's going right.
[8:51] And then, so I was bawling my eyes out, hugging the doctors.
[8:54] You know, I actually sent Hunter a voice note being like, I'm cleared.
[8:57] You know, you can't get rid of me, you know.
[9:00] And then, and then I get another text, you know, from Stacy.
[9:04] And she was like, all right, let's do the blood test.
[9:06] So I do the blood, peed a little bit too.
[9:08] You know, we got all that out of the way.
[9:11] And then if for some reason I had in my head that, what, if I ate something like a poppy seed or something.
[9:17] Right, right.
[9:18] Or took allergy medicine or something.
[9:19] Yeah, and I don't even take an ibuprofen.
[9:21] Oh, wow.
[9:22] Like I'm so worried about any kind of like medicinal stuff.
[9:25] Yeah, yeah.
[9:26] Which is crazy for me, considering 10 years ago I didn't care at all, you know.
[9:30] Right.
[9:31] But I really worry about that kind of stuff.
[9:32] So I was like, maybe I drank something that was weird.
[9:35] You know, I was just so worried.
[9:37] Anyway, I was fine.
[9:38] They were like, you're good, calm down kind of thing.
[9:40] And so yeah, I was completely cleared.
[9:42] And then it kind of went into negotiations.
[9:44] And then mania, that was on Monday.
[9:46] We were getting all that done.
[9:48] And then this weekend was obviously mania.
[9:50] So it was a bit of like a quick turnaround.
[9:52] Wow, that was fast.
[9:53] Yeah.

[10:56] So when's the last time you actually wrestled?
[11:01] Two years ago.
[11:02] The whole time I've been thinking about just coming back to WWE.
[11:05] That's all I wanted.
[11:06] And to wrestle again.
[11:07] Yeah.
[11:08] Because at the Royal Rumble people thought I was coming back then.
[11:10] Yeah.
[11:11] They were going crazy.
[11:12] I know.
[11:13] I did actually hear that.
[11:14] They were going crazy.
[11:15] I thought it was going to be number 30.
[11:16] And I was just like, oh man, well, the interest is still there.
[11:19] Yeah.
[11:20] Which is a great feeling, right?
[11:22] It's a great feeling.
[11:23] Because you just never know.
[11:24] You never know.
[11:25] Yeah.
[11:26] And it feels pretty awful when they don't want you.
[11:28] Yeah.
[11:29] And they don't care.
[11:30] And you're just like, oh man.
[11:31] And I went through that stage where people stopped caring.
[11:33] Because that's what you thought?
[11:34] It was in my head.
[11:35] Yeah.
[11:36] Because I know people care about you.
[11:38] They do.
[11:39] Do you know why?
[11:40] Why?
[11:41] Because you're very special.
[11:42] Thank you.
[11:43] You are.
[11:44] This is why people cry.
[11:45] This is fun.
[11:46] This is exactly why.
[11:47] But it's so true.
[11:48] And everybody feels it.
[11:49] And even your energy having you sit there and be back and talk.
[11:52] I'm so excited for people to hear you and see you and see how great you look and feel.
[11:58] And just hear about your journey.
[12:01] Thank you.
[12:02] To come through everything you've come through.
[12:05] Mm-hmm.
[12:06] And to still be you.
[12:07] Yeah.
[12:08] Like this super cool.
[12:10] Like a hundred percent.
[12:12] A hundred thousand percent yourself.
[12:13] Thank you.
[12:14] You know.
[12:15] I don't think it's possible for you to be anything but you.
[12:17] Oh my dad would kick my ass if that was any different.
[12:19] I tell you what.
[12:20] We were doing a UK tour with WWE.
[12:23] And I was just.
[12:24] Back then we had like live events.
[12:26] We were like.
[12:27] We were on a grind.
[12:28] Right?
[12:29] We'd be here for like one day.
[12:30] Yeah.
[12:31] Like we were just on a grind.
[12:32] Which grateful for it.
[12:34] Right?
[12:35] But I was really tired.
[12:36] I was very tired.
[12:37] And we landed in the UK.
[12:39] And there was a ton of fans outside.
[12:41] And like I wasn't rude to him.
[12:43] But I was like.
[12:44] I'm going to bed.
[12:45] I'll be back down later.
[12:46] And my dad didn't like the tone.
[12:47] Of the way I said that.
[12:48] Ah.
[12:49] So he's like.
[12:50] Sorry for cussing again.
[12:51] But it is my dad.
[12:52] He was like.
[12:53] Get your fucking ass over there.
[12:54] And you sign those autographs.
[12:55] He was like.
[12:56] They pay your bills.
[12:57] They do this.
[12:58] And I'm like.
[12:59] Okay.
[13:00] I'm like.
[13:01] So I just.
[13:02] I was like.
[13:03] Okay.
[13:04] I should never do that.
[13:05] But I also remember.
[13:06] He taught me.
[13:07] People remember the way.
[13:08] They make you feel.
[13:09] That's right.
[13:10] So they may not remember the things that you said.
[13:11] The things that you do.
[13:12] But they remember that feeling that you gave them.
[13:13] They sure do.
[13:14] 100%.
[13:15] So that moment for them.
[13:16] They'll remember for the rest of their life.
[13:18] But I had an experience when I was a kid.
[13:20] This bitch.
[13:21] Oh.
[13:22] Oh.
[13:23] Let me tell you.
[13:24] Oh boy.
[13:25] And from the Spice Girls.
[13:26] No.
[13:27] Right?
[13:28] What happened?
[13:29] Let me paint a picture for you.
[13:30] Early 90s.
[13:31] Right?
[13:32] I was a kid.
[13:33] Early 90s.
[13:34] And my mom and dad were on the same show as her.
[13:36] This morning show in the UK.
[13:37] And she signed an autographs for everyone's kid.
[13:39] The staff's kid and stuff like that.
[13:40] My mom and dad like.
[13:41] They're a rough couple.
[13:42] You know.
[13:43] I get it.
[13:44] You know.
[13:45] But they go up and they're like.
[13:46] Can you sign this for my daughter?
[13:47] And she was like.
[13:48] No.
[13:49] And it broke my heart.
[13:50] Wait.
[13:51] Why'd she do that?
[13:52] She signed for everybody else.
[13:53] She wouldn't sign for me.
[13:54] Have you ever spoken to her?
[13:55] So.
[13:56] Yeah.
[13:57] I did tweet at her.
[13:58] I was just like.
[13:59] Oh.
[14:00] But you didn't see her?
[14:01] No.
[14:02] No.
[14:03] No.
[14:04] I tweeted at her.
[14:05] I was like.
[14:06] If you want to make up for not signing an autograph for me.
[14:07] Like.
[14:08] You know.
[14:09] 30 years ago.
[14:10] She was like.
[14:11] I am so sorry.
[14:12] That's.
[14:13] That's not how I am.
[14:14] And all that kind of stuff.
[14:15] Wow.
[14:16] I'm trying to give you a hard time.
[14:17] But I was like.
[14:18] No.
[14:19] No.
[14:20] You did.
[14:21] In a child right there.
[14:22] Yeah.
[14:23] Sporty Spice would never do that.
[14:24] Never.
[14:25] Never.
[14:26] She would never do that.
[14:27] I love her.
[14:28] But yeah.
[14:29] It's like.
[14:30] It really did.
[14:31] And that kind of stuck with me.
[14:32] I guess she's human too.
[14:33] Right?
[14:34] Everyone's human.
[14:35] Everyone has a bad moment.
[14:36] Yeah.
[14:37] That's why I don't try and judge if someone's.
[14:38] Not being their self for a second.
[14:39] You know.
[14:40] And I think sometimes.
[14:41] It's like.
[14:42] You just don't know.
[14:43] You.
[14:44] If you don't know someone.
[14:45] And they do that.
[14:46] You don't know they're just having a bad day.
[14:47] Right?
[14:48] Exactly.
[14:49] Assume that's the way they are the whole time.
[14:50] Exactly.
[14:51] But I don't know why.
[14:52] It's easy for.
[14:53] Human nature to assume the worst in others.
[14:55] Oh.
[14:56] You know.
[14:57] Like what is that?
[14:58] I don't know.
[14:59] You always believe the bad stuff over the good stuff.
[15:01] And it's always.
[15:02] Yeah.
[15:03] I always say it's always easier to be a heel over a baby face.
[15:05] Because.
[15:06] Agreed.
[15:07] It's easier for people to hate you.
[15:08] So much easier.
[15:09] And I never understand that with human nature.
[15:11] Because I would never be the kind of person.
[15:13] That would comment on someone's post and be like.
[15:15] You look ugly.
[15:16] Right?
[15:17] Me neither.
[15:18] Just through your head when you do something like that.
[15:19] Yeah.
[15:20] I just.
[15:21] I don't understand why it's human to believe the negative stuff like that.
[15:24] Yeah.
[15:25] I know.
[15:26] It's hard.
[15:27] I've stopped reading my ex feed.
[15:28] You should.
[15:29] You should.
[15:30] Yeah.
[15:31] I mean I'll still look at it for news and stuff like that.
[15:32] You know.
[15:33] I don't love the super algorithm of everything.
[15:35] Yeah.
[15:36] And I mean in general across all social.
[15:38] Like I.
[15:39] On the one hand it's fun.
[15:40] But.
[15:41] I used to miss getting a bunch of different types of thinking.
[15:45] Mm-hmm.
[15:46] You know.
[15:47] Like I like to see different perspectives.
[15:49] Yeah.
[15:50] Right.
[15:51] Because I feel like that's the best way for me to learn.
[15:53] So I don't like only being fed one perspective.
[15:56] Yes.
[15:57] It drives me crazy.
[15:58] So I have to go search it.
[15:59] Yeah.
[16:00] But.
[16:01] I hate that.
[16:02] Yeah.
[16:03] I understand completely with Twitter especially.
[16:04] It's like you ghost and post kind of thing.
[16:06] Yeah.
[16:07] Yeah.
[16:08] It's just easier that way.
[16:09] Yeah.
[16:10] That's what the Cavender twins taught us when we asked.
[16:11] Because they're like influencers on social and that was their advice.
[16:14] Yeah.
[16:15] Yeah.
[16:16] Yeah.
[16:18] Because it's like.
[16:19] Again people could be so negative and like right now.
[16:21] And mean.
[16:22] Mean.
[16:23] That one thing.
[16:24] I was.
[16:25] I was shooting for.
[16:26] Unreal.
[16:27] Yeah.
[16:28] I was shooting for Unreal.
[16:29] And I said the one thing that I'm most stressed about.
[16:31] Is how mean fans can be on social media.
[16:34] And I was like.
[16:35] I don't want them to deter me in any way.
[16:38] Because they do.
[16:39] Yeah.
[16:40] They can attack you.
[16:41] But.
[16:42] Right now.
[16:43] Everyone's been really really positive.
[16:44] And I have been like kind of doom scrolling a little bit.
[16:45] I know.
[16:46] I know.
[16:47] I was like.
[16:48] Oh.
[16:49] I can't help it.
[16:50] Because I'm like.
[16:51] Right.
[16:52] No feedback.
[16:53] But then you can't help how your like soul gets crushed.
[16:55] Oh.
[16:56] When you start reading some of the mean stuff.
[16:58] The one negative.
[16:59] Yeah.
[17:00] You can have a hundred positive.
[17:01] That one negative.
[17:02] Yeah.
[17:03] You're like wow.
[17:04] I suck.
[17:05] I'm awful.
[17:06] I'm the worst.
[17:07] Yes.
[17:08] Exactly.
[17:09] And meanwhile what my husband always says.
[17:10] And I think I've said on this podcast is.
[17:11] He goes.
[17:12] Would you ask that person for advice.
[17:13] That's true.
[17:14] About anything.
[17:15] No.
[17:16] No.
[17:17] No.
[17:18] So why do I care.
[17:19] What they think.
[17:20] Exactly.
[17:21] Like what do they do.
[17:22] And they're just trying to stir trouble anyway.
[17:23] Exactly.
[17:24] They want a reaction.
[17:25] So you can only.
[17:26] Yeah.
[17:27] They're.
[17:28] What's it called.
[17:29] Rage baiting.
[17:30] Rage baiting.
[17:31] Yes.
[17:32] Rage baiting.
[17:33] Yeah.
[17:34] I'm learning too.
[17:35] Even I like the.
[17:36] The language or whatever.
[17:37] I know there's a whole nother.
[17:38] It changes.
[17:39] It does constantly.
[17:40] Yeah.
[17:41] My niece.
[17:42] And spelling and actuality of words is not a thing.
[17:43] Oh yeah.
[17:44] I have no idea what's going on.
[17:45] They like make up words.
[17:46] Yeah.
[17:47] And think it's okay.
[17:48] The six, seven.
[17:49] I'm like I get.
[17:50] It drives me nuts.
[17:51] I don't know what this is.
[17:52] Oh that's just being out of age.
[17:53] Okay.
[17:54] Okay.
[17:55] But it's cool for them.
[17:56] Not cool for me.
[17:57] It's very cool for them.
[17:58] Yeah.
[17:59] They get it.
[18:00] They get it.
[18:01] I know you're starting to get older when music and technology.
[18:05] Oh yeah.
[18:06] You know when you just.
[18:07] You can't.
[18:08] I don't get it.
[18:09] You stick to what you love.
[18:10] Like what do these young kids listen to?
[18:11] It's just noise.
[18:12] Yeah.
[18:13] Back in my day we used to have real music.
[18:15] Yeah.
[18:16] That's right.
[18:17] Jackie and I learned this morning that instead of saying like what is this shit.
[18:23] You say what is TS.
[18:25] What is TS?
[18:27] TS.
[18:28] So you don't say this shit which is like okay you don't swear but you have to say TS now.
[18:32] Oh.
[18:33] Is what is this shit a commonly said phrase?
[18:36] I don't.
[18:38] Or like I'm sick of TS.
[18:40] I'm over TS.
[18:41] Very.
[18:42] I mean they're just getting lazy with everything.
[18:43] Yeah.
[18:44] You just think it is.
[18:45] They're just lazy.
[18:46] Yeah.
[18:47] Well there was this one time I was at this music festival and this girl was like can I
[18:50] take a .5 with you?
[18:51] And I'm like.
[18:52] Yes.
[18:53] It's a particular type of picture.
[18:54] Yeah.
[18:55] And I'm like you mean just a photo?
[18:56] Like yeah.
[18:57] No but what is the .5 do I forget?
[19:00] It like zooms out.
[19:01] It's wide angle.
[19:02] Oh okay.
[19:03] Yeah.
[19:04] And I'm like this isn't flattering though.
[19:05] Yeah.
[19:06] Actually no you can't.
[19:07] Who wants a good wide angle lens?
[19:08] Not me.
[19:09] Not me either.
[19:10] Not me.
[19:11] Oh my gosh.
[19:12] Not a big part of that.
[19:13] But we were being explained this new phrase and Jackie and I were like but why don't
[19:17] Oh wait who's explaining it?
[19:18] My girls?
[19:19] Perhaps.
[19:20] Maybe.
[19:21] Yeah.
[19:23] It's okay.
[19:24] They're often saying what is this shit in your house.
[19:25] They're cool I'm not you know.
[19:26] I guess they say it when I'm not around.
[19:28] But we I feel like we sounded so old we're like well why don't you why can't you just
[19:32] say it?
[19:33] Why don't you just say it out?
[19:34] Right?
[19:35] Because we couldn't get it.
[19:36] I don't know it was.
[19:37] Yeah.
[19:38] I had someone say this food was gas.
[19:39] Oh.
[19:40] And I didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing.
[19:41] I haven't heard that one.
[19:42] Yeah this this food is gas and I was like.
[19:45] So it is a good thing?
[19:46] Yeah it's a good thing.
[19:47] I didn't know gas was a good thing though.
[19:48] I'm trying to think.
[19:49] Yeah.
[19:50] Gas always sound like a terrible thing.
[19:52] I'm trying to think of the word I used to describe one of the fellow members on her
[19:57] team and she's gonna cringe when she hears this but it was super positive.
[20:01] She's disgusting.
[20:02] No.
[20:03] She's disgusting at her position.
[20:05] Oh.
[20:06] Oh that's a good thing.
[20:07] I know that one.
[20:08] And I asked.
[20:09] I was like that's a good thing right?
[20:10] And she's like oh yeah.
[20:11] Oh yeah.
[20:12] Just disgusting.
[20:13] I'm like oh yeah.
[20:14] She is.
[20:16] She is pretty good.

[21:29] Yeah.
[21:30] That's right.
[21:31] I can't help myself.
[21:32] Gosh.
[21:33] That's right.
[21:34] We're good.
[21:35] We're good.
[21:36] No one actually thought it was going to happen.
[21:38] I mean some did.
[21:39] Yeah.
[21:40] Because me and Bri aren't actually like.
[21:41] That's the thing.
[21:42] I didn't know it was going to happen.
[21:43] At all.
[21:44] It was a surprise.
[21:45] Yeah.
[21:46] They thought maybe Bailey or Lyra or you know.
[21:47] Yeah.
[21:48] Which.
[21:49] Okay.
[21:50] Sorry.
[21:51] ADHD brain right now.
[21:52] I'm going all over the place.
[21:53] That's good.
[21:54] But Lyra actually predicted me winning the Divas championship all those years ago.
[21:57] No.
[21:58] She was a big fan of AJ and I and she had tweeted a long time ago.
[22:02] It was 2014 the day before I was supposed to debut.
[22:04] She was like I predict that Paige is going to debut tomorrow.
[22:07] No way.
[22:08] And she's going to take the championship away from AJ.
[22:09] Wow.
[22:10] I was like how did you know that?
[22:12] And then like all these years later we were in a match together and I thought that was
[22:15] really cool.
[22:16] So many full circle moments.
[22:17] Yeah.
[22:18] Yes.
[22:19] Super cool.
[22:20] Crazy.
[22:21] So yeah.
[22:22] Sorry.
[22:23] I'm with you.
[22:24] This is your podcast.
[22:25] I'm good.
[22:26] I'm good.
[22:27] No no.
[22:28] I love it.
[22:29] I love it.
[22:30] We're here to talk about you anyway.
[22:31] Me.
[22:32] Yes.
[22:33] So I'm happy to be here.
[22:34] Thanks for having me.
[22:35] No thank you.
[22:36] Thank you so much.
[22:37] So tell us a little bit if you you know whatever you want to share whatever you feel comfortable
[22:42] sharing whatever you want to talk about not to steal that line from you Cody but you know
[22:47] it is about your story and your journey and yes there was a movie about it.
[22:51] Right.
[22:52] And then there's this long period of time where people don't know you know sort of what was
[22:58] going on with you.
[22:59] Yeah.
[23:00] I think you know you hit a like a low really low.
[23:07] Yeah.
[23:08] No pun intended like.
[23:10] And and what was that whatever you feel comfortable describing what that was like for you.
[23:16] But most importantly what was the climb out.
[23:21] Oh my gosh yes.
[23:22] So you know I got into a bit of bit of trouble when I was younger you know like I started drinking
[23:29] and partying with the wrong people you know and then I end up having like a certain relationship
[23:34] that wasn't the healthiest you know and like I kind of relied on the drugs when it comes to that too.
[23:40] Yeah.
[23:41] And I remember that these tapes get released you know from when I'm 19 years old which is I never wish that on anybody.
[23:50] I was so humiliated.
[23:52] And I'm so sorry.
[23:53] I was devastated and it is it's very hard to talk about but also like it's weird.
[23:58] It's hard in these settings to talk about but I can joke about it behind the scenes.
[24:02] Well because you're joking about it.
[24:03] Yeah exactly.
[24:04] And I'm like I'm very quick to joke about it.
[24:06] But yeah.
[24:07] It's a defense mechanism.
[24:08] It is.
[24:09] And a survival tactic.
[24:10] Yeah exactly.
[24:11] And I just remember when they got released I was on drugs in a certain relationship and then there was my neck as well.
[24:20] And so I wasn't at work but I remember you guys were constantly reaching out to me and they were like we can't help you unless you tell us what's going on.
[24:28] We cannot help you unless you want the help.
[24:30] But we want to help you you know so they kept reaching out and I was like I'm fine I'm fine.
[24:34] And you you guys even like flew me out to Connecticut and sat down with me and was just like you have to talk to us you have to let us help you.
[24:42] And I'm like I'm fine.
[24:43] And then I remember you bringing me to a Tampa Raw and you did this whole medical checkup on me because I got really skinny.
[24:50] Yeah.
[24:51] I matched in my hair I was very skinny.
[24:53] And I remember like I put my arms on the wall so you could they could see like the bones in my back and stuff just to see.
[24:58] And they were like we want to help here but you can't we can't unless you want us to and I'm just like I'm fine.
[25:04] You know eventually.
[25:05] And so I went through that really awful stage and I was actually talking to Amy Leah today and she was just talking about that time in my life and you know she would she would be like her and Renee would talk about even in like it was a jokey way but it's like a harmless joke but she was like which one of us is going to have to go rescue her from the trunk of a car you know like that kind of thing.
[25:26] Yeah.
[25:27] And I remember Renee coming to see me in the middle of that time.
[25:29] Ribbing on the square.
[25:30] Huh?
[25:31] Ribbing on the square.
[25:32] Yeah exactly.
[25:33] Yeah.
[25:34] Renee came and saw me and she said after the fact she was like I've never felt such an intense weird feeling being around you because usually it's like very comfortable and stuff.
[25:44] She was like I was just so worried and I cut out all my family.
[25:48] I cut out all my friends.
[25:50] I cut out you guys you know because I was convinced you guys hate me.
[25:55] You know I was convinced no one wanted me around.
[25:57] I was convinced you know I was alone.
[26:00] And then when these tapes came out you know I ran out of the house door.
[26:07] Took off.
[26:08] Kept running, running, running, running.
[26:10] And like I see the first thing come up the second thing come up and I'm like.
[26:13] Oh.
[26:14] And again I wasn't in the best situation.
[26:16] And so I was like I ran.
[26:18] So I run and I run outside this grocery store and I hide in this bush and I'm like.
[26:23] Where are you?
[26:24] What country are you in?
[26:25] In Texas.
[26:26] Oh.
[26:27] I'm in Texas.
[26:28] Yeah.
[26:29] Which is it's own country.
[26:30] Yeah yeah yeah.
[26:31] Okay.
[26:32] So I'm in San Antonio Texas and I hide in this bush and I said if my dad is not okay with this because I'm being like people are humiliating me online.
[26:39] It is bad.
[26:40] And you're reading it.
[26:41] And you're reading it.
[26:42] I'm reading it and I'm just like I'm sick and I'm like oh my gosh people can see me.
[26:46] I mean it's awful.
[26:47] And I made mistakes in these videos and stuff that I would never do.
[26:50] You know what I mean?
[26:51] Like it's just.
[26:52] It's your private life.
[26:53] It's my private life.
[26:54] Yes.
[26:55] And you're allowed to have a private life.
[26:56] Yeah.
[26:57] I was young.
[26:58] I was like 19 years old.
[26:59] I think you are.
[27:00] Yeah.
[27:01] And so like I.
[27:05] It's gonna be really hard.
[27:06] You fucking got me.
[27:08] You fucking got me.
[27:09] God damn.
[27:10] We were just talking about this.
[27:11] I was like oh no.
[27:14] Sorry.
[27:16] No.
[27:17] You take your time.
[27:18] Take your time.
[27:19] Damn it.
[27:20] I'm not good at crying in front of people.
[27:22] So I see.
[27:23] I hide in this bush and I say.
[27:25] I call my dad and I was like if my dad doesn't accept me for this I'm gonna kill myself.
[27:31] That was it.
[27:32] You know.
[27:33] I was like I can't be here anymore.
[27:39] So again I was at a stage.
[27:41] Thank you.
[27:42] Thanks.
[27:43] Thank you.
[27:44] And so I went through that stage of feeling like I was completely alone.
[27:47] I felt like my dad is my life you know.
[27:49] And if he can't accept the fact that these tapes are out I don't know.
[27:53] If I just I was ready to do it.
[27:54] I was done.
[27:55] And so I called him and he was fucking fantastic.
[28:03] He was fucking fantastic.
[28:05] He goes to me.
[28:06] It's all right princess.
[28:07] He was like everyone has a sex life.
[28:09] You know yours just happened to be on the internet.
[28:11] And he goes you know what.
[28:12] He goes you know what.
[28:13] You could be famous like Kim Kardashian.
[28:17] And I'm like true.
[28:18] It could work in your favor.
[28:19] I was like how the fuck do you know Kim Kardashian.
[28:21] I was like so confused.
[28:23] And he saved my life that day.
[28:25] He saved my life.
[28:26] He absolutely saved my life because I was ready like I was doing everything I can just
[28:31] to not be in this be here anymore.
[28:35] And I was just that was the lowest I've ever been in my life.
[28:38] Lowest.
[28:39] And I never thought I'd reached that point of like wanting to do harm to myself.
[28:43] But I had reached it.
[28:44] Yeah.
[28:45] And my dad saved my life.
[28:46] Yeah.
[28:48] What would you say to people who are feeling the same way you did.
[28:52] Yeah.
[28:53] They're not alone.
[28:54] Absolutely not.
[28:55] You convince yourself that you're alone.
[28:56] You are not alone.
[28:57] And the best thing you can have and I learned this in therapy.
[29:00] Thanks to you guys getting me therapy.
[29:02] Is community is the most important thing around you.
[29:05] Yeah.
[29:06] So the people that you have like man I'm so lucky and I'm so blessed to have the most
[29:12] positive like the most positive influences around me the most happy people around me and
[29:18] my two best my two best friends when I got when I made the call to you guys I was like
[29:24] I want to come home the first time I came back you guys bought my flight you got me home
[29:28] back to Orlando I moved in with two of my best friends Joey and Raquel mentioned their names
[29:32] they're amazing but I moved in with them so they can make sure that I was safe and that
[29:37] I wasn't doing anything stupid and they got sober with me.
[29:39] Wow.
[29:40] Like so it was really great.
[29:41] I had that community and then you guys got me.
[29:43] Yeah think about the influence you had on them.
[29:45] Oh man.
[29:46] Yeah.
[29:47] They're still sober to this day.
[29:48] It's really great.
[29:49] And they moved to LA with me like they've just always been my life support.
[29:52] Your people.
[29:53] You know my people 100%.
[29:54] And then you guys got me a drugs and alcohol counselor Bob Keeler.
[29:58] Yeah.
[29:59] I love Bob.
[30:00] Oh man.
[30:01] I love that guy.
[30:02] And I would call him about relationship problems.
[30:03] Yeah.
[30:04] I would be like Bob I know this is your job bro but I need to speak to you.
[30:08] I'm so glad.
[30:09] Oh man.
[30:10] Yeah.
[30:11] He was the best and I could call him at any point in the day.
[30:14] I know.
[30:15] And then he arranged a psychiatrist and a different therapist where they like do where they don't
[30:21] even touch you they're just like doing this energy thing around you.
[30:24] Really?
[30:25] He got me.
[30:26] I was speaking to three therapists a week including him and I had like I had extreme PTSD.
[30:32] And this is what you needed.
[30:33] That's what I needed.
[30:34] Yeah.
[30:35] Again community is the most important you guys like that is like re like people love
[30:41] you that they you don't push anyone away do not do not and the people that see anyone
[30:46] in that position don't walk away from them.
[30:49] Keep trying hard.
[30:50] I know like that you need to wait for their switch to flip in their head but eventually
[30:54] they will wake up and it's important that you be there for them.
[30:57] It's really really important and luckily I had that that community but I remember I had
[31:01] really bad PTSD coming out with all that and again the person that I was with all
[31:06] and my whole body would start shaking like in like it was really bad and I still get
[31:11] the shakes now but it's less than it was.
[31:14] And I remember the first day I was coming back after everything after that year and
[31:17] a half of just pure hell.
[31:19] I was finally gonna come back and it was that I'm back did you miss me and that's
[31:22] when Stephanie I was before I went out I was crouched down on the floor and she had
[31:26] picked me up.
[31:27] She came over she was like busy but she came she picked me up.
[31:29] She gave me this big hug she whispers in my ear this will always be your house and she
[31:34] goes and you started this whole thing now go out there and enjoy the moment.
[31:37] And she said and then just stand there and just let it breathe.
[31:40] She's like don't talk if they're loud don't talk just let it breathe.
[31:43] And I was like okay okay okay yeah I got this right.
[31:48] And I go out there and the crowd just erupts and it was freaking fantastic.
[31:52] But I remember an hour before well not an hour a couple hours before that I couldn't
[31:56] even walk in the building.
[31:57] I had to text TR at the time that we had Mark and I was like I can't come in there I can't
[32:01] I can't I can't come in there and he comes and gets me and he puts his arm around me
[32:04] and my whole body's just like like I was so scared.
[32:07] I was so scared of what everyone thought of me and I still had even with the therapy in
[32:11] the back of my head that I was disgusting.
[32:14] Not in the good way you guys.
[32:16] Not in the new way.
[32:17] Not in the new way.
[32:18] No not the new way but I thought I was like I was disgusting.
[32:21] I thought people didn't like me.
[32:22] I thought you guys hated me but like man you made me feel so great.
[32:27] Like you gave me the warmest hug.
[32:29] I mean you did it again today.
[32:31] You gave me the warmest hug.
[32:32] Hunter gave me the warmest hug.
[32:33] Vince gave me the warmest hug.
[32:35] Like you guys were just like I'm just glad you're alive.
[32:38] You know and we're happy that you're home.
[32:40] You know unfortunately we've seen it go the other way.
[32:42] I know.
[32:43] And you're so special.
[32:45] Thank you.
[32:46] And it's like we can see it from afar because it's you know it is a pattern.
[32:50] It's a vicious cycle that happens to some people.
[32:53] Yeah.
[32:54] You know and in some people also it's because of the fame.
[32:57] It's it's everything that goes with that much attention.
[33:01] Right.
[33:02] The negative comments now probably make that even worse.
[33:06] Right.
[33:07] One hundred percent.
[33:08] Yeah.
[33:09] But it's like it's a lot to handle that kind of attention and energy all the time.
[33:15] Yeah.
[33:16] And everybody knows who you are.
[33:17] And like if you misstep and especially and most of them are very young.
[33:22] Yeah.
[33:23] Right.
[33:24] So it's like of course you're going to say stupid shit sometimes.
[33:25] Yes.
[33:26] And of course you're going to have a bad day or whatever.
[33:28] Exactly.
[33:29] And then you're judged like as evil.
[33:31] Unforgiving.
[33:32] The most evil person of all time.
[33:33] Yeah.
[33:34] And you deserve to die.
[33:35] Yes.
[33:36] Exactly.
[33:37] It is that dramatic though.
[33:38] It is that.
[33:39] Yes.
[33:40] It is.
[33:41] Like you just feel oh my god you can make a silly like like comment about something and
[33:44] then all of a sudden like you're yeah.
[33:46] Yeah.
[33:47] You have to spell something.
[33:48] Yeah.
[33:49] Oh sorry.
[33:50] And we're talking about these young kids that they don't care how they spell.
[33:53] But it's like it is anything.
[33:55] One hundred percent.
[33:56] Yeah.
[33:57] People are really unforgiving.
[33:58] Some people.
[33:59] Some people.
[34:00] Yeah.
[34:01] Like the majority right now you guys are being amazing.
[34:02] Thank you so much for being so nice.
[34:03] But we'll see how you are next week.
[34:05] All right.
[34:06] It takes like one week for you guys to flip.
[34:08] We know all about that honeymoon period.
[34:10] Yeah.
[34:11] Mine's quick.
[34:12] Mine's always super fast.
[34:13] Yeah.
[34:14] I'm not reading it next week.
[34:15] But yeah going out but going out in public as well after all of that.
[34:20] Yeah.
[34:21] I was like.
[34:22] I can't imagine.
[34:23] I was so embarrassed.
[34:24] So how did you handle that.
[34:25] Oh man.
[34:26] I mean how like how did you get to the other side of.
[34:30] I mean because there's nothing you can do.
[34:32] Nothing.
[34:33] Right.
[34:34] It's out there.
[34:35] Can't change it.
[34:36] Yeah.
[34:37] Right.
[34:38] Right.
[34:39] At the end of the day.
[34:40] Right.
[34:41] But that's not easy.
[34:44] Yes.
[34:45] And you're at rock bottom.
[34:46] Yeah.
[34:47] So your dad saves your life.
[34:48] Now how do you get over this.
[34:51] Like rebuild from that.
[34:52] Yeah.
[34:53] Yeah.
[34:54] There was a quote that I really like and it says like if you can change it why you stress
[34:57] why you stress and if you can't change it why you stressing.
[34:59] And so like I like I kept that in the back of my mind even though it's very hard to live by.
[35:04] Yeah.
[35:05] But I kept that in the back of my mind.
[35:07] But just walk in the street I was very embarrassed and then I remember this one time I was like
[35:11] in this bar with my friends not drinking but I was in this bar eating and stuff like that
[35:15] and someone was drunk came up to me and he was like oh you're the fucking porn star.
[35:18] And I was like I like froze ran into the bathroom cried my eyes out.
[35:23] Sobbed because I was like that's what I'm going to be remembered for.
[35:26] Nothing that I've done all these good things that I've done in wrestling or whatever the reality show like doing all these things.
[35:32] That's what I'm going to remember for.
[35:34] So like that I had that in the back of my mind too.
[35:36] But all I kept thinking is it's like I've reached rock bottom and I never want to see it again.
[35:41] Yeah.
[35:42] So I was like and you guys actually helped me big time.
[35:44] So yes I came back.
[35:46] Yes within six weeks I had to retire from wrestling completely.
[35:50] And everyone was scared at that point within six weeks.
[35:53] That you were yeah.
[35:54] I was going to head back.
[35:55] Yeah.
[35:56] I was like no.
[35:57] But you guys took me aside and you were like so I had to do the retirement speech which I'm so thankful Vince gave me that opportunity.
[36:03] Because not many women back then got to do a retirement speech.
[36:07] You know so I was like wow I can't believe I'm doing this you know.
[36:10] And then I got pulled to the side and they were like okay we need you for Smackdown.
[36:14] And I'm like why I don't wrestle anymore you know.
[36:16] And so I was trying to keep that positive mentality I'm like well they're not going to need me anymore.
[36:20] And I was in my head and stuff but I wasn't thinking about drinking or doing drugs.
[36:23] Good.
[36:24] I was like I'd reached like you know.
[36:25] The other side.
[36:26] Yes.
[36:27] The other side for that one.
[36:28] But I was still everyone was still very worried about me.
[36:31] So everyone was kind of babying me like are you okay.
[36:33] Yeah.
[36:34] And I feel like you guys definitely helped me big time.
[36:36] When I came back the next day it was like road dog and the writers and everyone like kind of cornered me in the corner like okay you're going to be GM.
[36:43] And I was like oh my god this is great you know.
[36:45] Yeah.
[36:46] And then they were like but you can't tell anyone.
[36:47] And I'm like fuck you know.
[36:48] Yeah.
[36:49] So it was like and your brother was the one that introduced me.
[36:51] Yeah.
[36:52] And it was just like the crowd erupted and that kind of gave me a new fire.
[36:57] Yeah.
[36:58] And it got me really excited to come to work because it was something completely new.
[37:01] Right.
[37:02] I wasn't in the division anymore so I didn't have to worry about oh it's my time going to get cut and do like all that kind of stuff.
[37:06] The matches.
[37:07] I just had to worry about the five or six promos I had to do live that day which is intimidating.
[37:11] It's like you remember those days Jackie.
[37:13] Yeah.
[37:14] Though I must say I don't feel like the gift of gab is a problem for you.
[37:18] Oh man.
[37:19] I mean.
[37:21] Oh I can talk.
[37:22] I can yap.
[37:23] That's what I can do.
[37:24] But trying to remember everything like we were going to.
[37:27] No I know yeah it's very nerve wracking.
[37:28] Yeah.
[37:29] It was tough.
[37:30] It was tough.
[37:31] I mean you do it perfectly.
[37:32] I already say you're one of the best promos ever.
[37:33] You and Paul Heyman.
[37:34] Bless you.
[37:35] Bless you.
[37:36] Oh Paul Heyman.
[37:37] You're so good at it.
[37:38] And so like you know I get on the mic and I'm not as good as you.
[37:41] But I can yap.
[37:42] I can do it.
[37:43] That's all you need to be able to do.
[37:44] Yeah.
[37:45] Yeah.
[37:46] Exactly.
[37:47] I'm like I can cover it.
[37:48] Don't worry.
[37:49] That was the thing.
[37:50] I mean and it got to the point.
[37:51] Well go ahead.
[37:52] No no no.
[37:53] You can.
[37:54] No no.
[37:55] But like for promos it was.
[37:56] I mean.
[37:57] There was one day I remember specifically where.
[37:58] And I don't mean to.
[37:59] I'm not saying this in a negative way.
[38:00] But it was like just a time period where maybe scripts changed or whatever.
[38:05] And I had this whole promo that I hadn't seen all day.
[38:09] And the person who was responsible for it wouldn't share it with me until it was approved
[38:15] by Vince.
[38:16] He approved it in the commercial break before my entrance.
[38:20] No.
[38:21] And then that person runs off to go print it.
[38:24] I'm like.
[38:25] You're like.
[38:26] I turned and I looked at him and I'm like.
[38:29] So I'm going out there in about a minute and a half.
[38:32] It's the commercial break before my entrance.
[38:34] This person just ran to print the promo.
[38:36] Can you please tell me what you want me to say?
[38:38] Oh my.
[38:39] Did you nail it?
[38:40] What's that?
[38:41] Did you nail it?
[38:42] I did.
[38:43] I got the points.
[38:44] I got the points.
[38:45] Yeah.
[38:46] But that's the thing.
[38:47] You got to just.
[38:48] You have to learn.
[38:49] But stick the points in your head and then you can figure out the rest.
[38:50] Well there was this other time thanks to your dad.
[38:53] He had given me a promo for AJ.
[38:55] And the fans loved this promo for some reason.
[38:57] Thank gosh I remembered it.
[38:58] But it was like a Valentine's card.
[39:00] Yeah.
[39:01] I want you to go out there and read a Valentine's card to AJ.
[39:03] And there's this whole poem in it.
[39:04] And the writers gave it to me like like an hour before.
[39:07] And I was like great.
[39:08] And I was like you know what I should do.
[39:09] I should practice this in my head just in case.
[39:11] Just in case.
[39:12] He takes it away from me.
[39:13] You know.
[39:14] Right.
[39:15] You know what he was like.
[39:16] Yeah.
[39:17] Yeah.
[39:18] Yeah.
[39:19] I was like things would change on a dime.
[39:20] Yes.
[39:21] He goes wait.
[39:22] Get out of here.
[39:23] And I was like okay.
[39:24] And he goes.
[39:25] Yeah he loves those last minute.
[39:26] He goes give me that.
[39:27] And he was like you don't need that.
[39:28] And I was like oh my god.
[39:29] And luckily.
[39:30] Give it to me.
[39:31] I need it.
[39:32] Yes please.
[39:33] And luckily I went out there and I remembered it.
[39:36] Because I just I got so used to him changing things.
[39:38] That's so smart.
[39:39] Yeah.
[39:40] So quickly.
[39:41] Yeah you gotta be prepared.
[39:42] You gotta be prepared.
[39:43] That's it.
[39:44] You just gotta try to imagine every possible scenario and prepare for it.
[39:47] The thing is.
[39:48] That's it.
[39:49] He would always still find the one thing I didn't prepare for.
[39:52] Like it was.
[39:53] I would have a business plan.
[39:54] I'd have everything all mapped out.
[39:56] And I tried to poke holes and think through.
[39:58] Sorry I'm laughing.
[39:59] No no it's.
[40:00] But it's amazing.
[40:01] The knack.
[40:02] Right.
[40:03] Oh.
[40:04] I thought of every scenario I could.
[40:05] And it's just experience is the best teacher right.
[40:06] Because.
[40:07] 100%.
[40:08] I don't know all of the like situations.
[40:10] I only knew what I had lived through at that time.
[40:13] Yeah.
[40:14] So I would come make the presentation think I nailed it.
[40:16] Nailed it.
[40:17] Yeah yeah.
[40:18] And he would always.
[40:19] And he was great.
[40:20] Like he would always listen.
[40:21] And we'd get to the end and he'd go.
[40:23] And.
[40:25] It would always be a pause.
[40:27] Like a good 30 seconds.
[40:28] Oh god.
[40:29] And he'd be kind of just very thoughtful right.
[40:31] And then he'd go.
[40:32] What about this?
[40:35] And it's like.
[40:37] Why are you doing this to me?
[40:40] Why did you have to ask about that?
[40:41] Like I didn't think about that.
[40:42] Yeah.
[40:43] Well sir I'll.
[40:44] I'll get back to you on that one.
[40:45] Yeah.
[40:46] That's the worst feeling in the world.
[40:47] It's the worst.
[40:48] It's the worst.
[40:49] And you know what really.
[40:50] To feel unprepared.
[40:51] Yeah.
[40:52] You know what.
[40:53] Even though you went in with 20 possible backup plans.
[40:55] Yeah.
[40:56] Yeah.
[40:57] They just.
[40:58] He'd always find the one.
[40:59] He always finds it.
[41:00] Yeah.
[41:01] And you know what trained.
[41:02] Like we had FCW before NXT.
[41:03] You know.
[41:04] And so the thing that really helped was.
[41:05] Rest in peace to this king right here.
[41:07] But Dusty Rhodes.
[41:08] Yes.
[41:09] Absolutely.
[41:10] He.
[41:11] I remember my first promo ever at FCW.
[41:13] Can I ask you a question before you tell this story.
[41:15] Yeah.
[41:16] Did you know of Dusty like when you were.
[41:18] Growing up as a part of a wrestling family in England.
[41:20] Were you.
[41:21] Oh yeah.
[41:22] Son of a plumber.
[41:23] Okay.
[41:24] All right.
[41:25] All right.
[41:26] I wasn't sure.
[41:27] I wasn't sure.
[41:28] I love that guy.
[41:29] Media was different.
[41:30] Okay so go ahead.
[41:31] And he like.
[41:32] He like was very hard on me.
[41:33] Like you're not like you know.
[41:34] The rest of the girls.
[41:35] Yeah.
[41:36] You're different.
[41:37] And he.
[41:38] He was so great.
[41:39] But he would freaking give me a hard time.
[41:40] I tell you.
[41:41] I've got a couple of Dusty stories.
[41:42] So the first one is.
[41:43] I just get there.
[41:44] I'm like.
[41:45] 18 or 19 years old.
[41:46] You know.
[41:47] I'm baby.
[41:48] And.
[41:49] And.
[41:50] It's intimidating to do a promo in front of your peers.
[41:51] Yeah.
[41:52] So the first day I'm there.
[41:53] I'm doing a promo.
[41:54] That's the most intimidating.
[41:55] That's the most intimidating.
[41:56] And so I go up there and I do like you know.
[41:57] The generic promo.
[41:58] Like you see in the movie and stuff.
[42:00] And he was like nah.
[42:01] Not good.
[42:02] And then he goes.
[42:03] Uh.
[42:04] Uh.
[42:05] Roman used to be called Liaki back then.
[42:06] Uh huh.
[42:07] He was like Liaki baby.
[42:08] Get up there.
[42:09] I was like.
[42:10] I just met this guy.
[42:11] You know.
[42:12] And he's like okay.
[42:13] Like.
[42:14] He didn't have to do anything.
[42:15] He just had to sit in a chair.
[42:16] And then I had to pretend that he.
[42:18] No.
[42:19] Dumped me.
[42:20] And stole my toaster.
[42:21] And I had to like do this whole promo.
[42:25] While he's just sitting there like.
[42:27] You know.
[42:28] I was like.
[42:29] I was like god this is terrible.
[42:30] But it was intimidating.
[42:31] And he would do that all the time.
[42:32] And then he'd be like.
[42:33] Okay baby.
[42:34] You got an invisible letter.
[42:35] And you.
[42:36] You have to go through all the stages of emotion.
[42:38] Like you're reading.
[42:39] It was always a breakup.
[42:40] Wow.
[42:41] Always a breakup.
[42:42] He just probably thought that was relatable.
[42:44] Yeah.
[42:45] Yeah.
[42:46] I had to do all these different.
[42:47] Like happy.
[42:48] Sad.
[42:49] Mad.
[42:50] Like all these kind of things.
[42:51] And then there was just one day.
[42:52] Where he was like.
[42:53] I need you to be the mysterious.
[42:54] Raven head lady.
[42:55] Right.
[42:56] And I was like.
[42:57] Okay.
[42:58] And then he was like.
[42:59] Not without saying anything.
[43:00] And I'm like.
[43:02] I was like.
[43:03] Okay.
[43:04] How do I do that?
[43:05] Okay.
[43:06] And then at one point I got.
[43:07] And this.
[43:08] We had moved to the PC at this point.
[43:09] And I was just really frustrated.
[43:10] I didn't have any creative in my head.
[43:11] I was like mad as hell.
[43:13] And I delivered this terrible promo.
[43:15] I admit it.
[43:16] It was bad because I was being lazy with it.
[43:17] I was like.
[43:18] I can't think of this promo that you keep on wanting me to do.
[43:21] And none of it is good enough.
[43:22] You know.
[43:23] So.
[43:24] He was like.
[43:25] I asked you for chicken dinner.
[43:26] And you give me chicken shit.
[43:28] And I was like.
[43:30] Fuck you motherfucker.
[43:31] And I stand up.
[43:32] And I run off.
[43:33] And I run upstairs in the PC.
[43:34] You know.
[43:35] Into the girl's locker room.
[43:36] And then all of a sudden.
[43:37] About like.
[43:38] A minute later.
[43:39] I hear a knock at the door.
[43:40] And he was like.
[43:41] Is my porcelain princess in there?
[43:43] Oh.
[43:44] I love Dusty.
[43:45] And I opened the door.
[43:47] And I'm like.
[43:48] I'm really sorry Dusty.
[43:49] He's like sit down.
[43:50] This step.
[43:51] And he goes.
[43:52] First of all.
[43:53] Nobody calls me a motherfucker.
[43:54] Oh.
[43:55] And I was like.
[43:56] I am so sorry Dusty.
[43:57] I just got there.
[43:58] And then he went into his big spill.
[44:00] He's like.
[44:01] The reasons why I'm hard.
[44:02] Hard on you.
[44:03] Is because I know you're going to be special.
[44:04] You are going to be a big thing.
[44:05] You know.
[44:06] And you should.
[44:07] You should treat these promo classes.
[44:08] Like you're in front of 10,000 people.
[44:10] Or 80,000 at WrestleMania.
[44:11] Or whatever.
[44:12] You know.
[44:13] And he's giving me this big spill.
[44:14] Yeah.
[44:15] And then he gives me a big hug.
[44:16] You know.
[44:17] And he tells me.
[44:18] Don't call him a motherfucker anymore.
[44:19] But I was like.
[44:20] Fair enough.
[44:21] You're my boss.
[44:22] Yeah.
[44:23] Respect him.
[44:24] Fuck.
[44:25] But I was like.
[44:26] Yeah.
[44:27] I'm really sorry Dusty.
[44:28] And I promise I'll deliver the next time.
[44:29] I did.
[44:30] I went completely out of my comfort zone.
[44:31] And I sang.
[44:32] Really?
[44:33] Yeah.
[44:34] I sang.
[44:35] I was like.
[44:36] Fuck it.
[44:37] I'm going to do something completely the opposite to what he's asking me.
[44:38] Wow.
[44:39] Just so I can get more comfortable again.
[44:40] Sure.
[44:41] Sure.
[44:42] So I did this promo with Shul Guerrero.
[44:43] And we like did this promo.
[44:44] And at the end we just sang together.
[44:45] And it went really well.
[44:46] Wow.
[44:47] He was like.
[44:48] This is great.
[44:49] This is what I want to see.
[44:50] You know.
[44:51] And I was like.
[44:52] For Mysterious and all that kind of stuff.
[44:53] I was like.
[44:54] Whatever Dusty.
[44:55] Like this is what you want.
[44:56] That's good.
[44:57] So then I started just doing promos where I would take scenes out of movies.
[44:59] Oh yeah.
[45:00] You know.
[45:01] And just reenact them.
[45:02] Or do something a little different.
[45:03] I did some stuff with Bailey.
[45:04] I remember a bunch of these promos got leaked onto the internet.
[45:05] Oh yeah.
[45:06] And there was one where like.
[45:07] I did.
[45:08] I did a promo with Bailey when she was still doing the hugger gimmick.
[45:11] Right.
[45:12] Right.
[45:13] And it turned me into like the scream queen.
[45:15] You know.
[45:16] Where I was just like.
[45:17] I'm a big fan of you Bailey.
[45:18] I love you.
[45:19] You know.
[45:20] And I give her a hug and she rejects me.
[45:22] And I'm just like.
[45:23] And I take my hair out and I scream and stuff.
[45:25] And like I just had so much more fun with it.
[45:27] Yeah.
[45:28] Because I kind of just.
[45:29] That was the whole point.
[45:30] Exactly.
[45:31] That's what he was trying to get you to do.
[45:32] Exactly.
[45:33] And we'd have like Christmas where we'd do karaoke and stuff like that.
[45:34] Yeah.
[45:35] I miss him so much man.
[45:36] Yeah I know.
[45:37] I miss him so much.
[45:38] He was so great.
[45:39] And he was so knowledgeable and so talented.
[45:40] And he stuck up for us a lot.
[45:42] Yes.
[45:43] He had our backs every single time.
[45:45] He was so great.
[45:46] He's a great leader.
[45:47] Oh man.
[45:48] So great.
[45:49] I miss him.
[45:50] I miss him a lot.
[45:51] And funny.
[45:52] So funny.
[45:53] Such a character.
[45:54] Oh man he's so funny.
[45:55] I mean only in our business.
[45:56] Giant elbows.
[45:57] Yes.
[45:58] Yeah.
[45:59] Yep.
[46:00] Oh what a good.
[46:01] Oh my god no.
[46:02] Oh yes.
[46:03] See yeah.
[46:04] Oh my god I'm so bad.
[46:05] Can you turn it up?
[46:06] Why?
[46:08] Because I like pogo sticks.
[46:09] On the side.
[46:10] Sweet.
[46:11] And I like bars.
[46:12] See that.
[46:14] But.
[46:16] I know one more thing that you'd like.
[46:18] This guy is ready to give it to you.
[46:20] What?
[46:21] A hug.
[46:22] No.
[46:24] No.
[46:26] Sorry.
[46:28] You guys are so young.
[46:29] I know.
[46:30] You look like you're a kid.
[46:31] Freak.
[46:32] Freak.
[46:33] Oh my god.
[46:34] A little scrubby girl.
[46:35] My head's really bad.
[46:41] But Paige that wound up being your scream.
[46:44] It did end up being my scream.
[46:45] You know the first time I came there.
[46:47] Like the reason why I got assigned was because I was different.
[46:50] Right.
[46:51] And I remember Hunter being like.
[46:52] I always remember.
[46:53] He shook my hand and said welcome aboard.
[46:54] And I was like oh my god.
[46:55] Like Triple H shook my hand.
[46:56] You were different and special.
[46:57] Thank you.
[46:58] You just don't understand.
[46:59] Thank you.
[47:00] But at the time I was.
[47:01] I was just like.
[47:02] You're just yourself.
[47:03] Yeah.
[47:04] Yeah.
[47:05] And the trainer at the time down there.
[47:07] He's not there anymore.
[47:08] But he was convinced I had to be.
[47:10] Like a diva.
[47:11] He was convinced.
[47:12] He was like you need to wear color.
[47:13] And like.
[47:14] No.
[47:15] And I was like okay I'm trying.
[47:16] But the reason why I got assigned was because of the way I look.
[47:18] You know.
[47:19] And so I kind of pushed back a little bit.
[47:20] And then he was telling me that I couldn't do my scream.
[47:23] On my entrance and stuff.
[47:24] And I was just like well it's kind of.
[47:26] You know.
[47:27] My gimmick.
[47:28] My gimmick.
[47:29] Yeah.
[47:30] He was just like no no no no.
[47:31] She needs to do this.
[47:32] She needs to do this.
[47:33] So they would bicker about it all the time.
[47:34] But he was like no.
[47:35] I'm the head coach.
[47:36] I know.
[47:37] She's not supposed to scream or dress like that.
[47:39] And so you guys had.
[47:41] We would be brought up on the rain roster every time you come to Florida.
[47:44] Like just to visit Aurora Smackdown right.
[47:47] And so.
[47:48] There was Aurora there.
[47:49] And I wore a blue dress.
[47:50] Because I thought I had to wear some color.
[47:52] You know.
[47:53] So I wore this blue dress.
[47:54] And I'm super pale with this blue dress.
[47:56] I used to be way more pale than this.
[47:57] Like I was pale.
[47:58] I was sickly pale.
[47:59] The porcelain princess.
[48:00] The porcelain princess baby.
[48:01] I love that.
[48:02] I love that.
[48:03] And so like.
[48:04] I thought I was really proud.
[48:05] I'm like I look like a diva.
[48:07] I look like a diva.
[48:08] Right.
[48:09] And I was so proud of myself.
[48:10] And I thought my trainer at the time was going to be proud of me.
[48:12] And then afterwards we all get back.
[48:14] To the training facility.
[48:15] And he talks to all of us saying everyone did a great job and stuff.
[48:18] Because I just want to give one person their flowers.
[48:20] They went above and beyond.
[48:21] Did exactly what I asked them for.
[48:23] And I'm really freaking proud of them.
[48:25] So.
[48:26] Summer Rae.
[48:27] And he turns to Summer Rae.
[48:28] I know.
[48:29] She's got beautiful you guys.
[48:30] She had blonde hair.
[48:31] She was tan.
[48:32] I remember her.
[48:33] Yeah.
[48:34] You know.
[48:35] Like just your typical like stunning diva woman.
[48:36] And I was crushed.
[48:37] And I was like.
[48:38] I will never.
[48:39] You'll never be able to.
[48:40] Yeah.
[48:41] Yeah.
[48:42] I'm never going to make you happy.
[48:43] I'm never going to please you.
[48:44] I'm going to be completely myself.
[48:45] Yeah.
[48:46] I'm going to stick to it.
[48:47] And at the time there wasn't anybody like me.
[48:49] No.
[48:50] So why was I trying to change for a trainer.
[48:52] There's still nobody like you.
[48:53] There's no one like me.
[48:54] No.
[48:55] And now you're back.
[48:56] Now I'm back baby.
[48:57] This is my house.

[49:51] But yeah like I don't I feel like I went all over the place from the first question that you asked me but.
[50:00] I don't even know what I asked you.
[50:04] How did I get back on my feet?
[50:06] It was after.
[50:07] Yes.
[50:08] After Rock Bottom.
[50:09] Yeah.
[50:10] So geez okay.
[50:11] Well after all that you know.
[50:14] No.
[50:15] I don't even know where I finished off.
[50:17] So I guess.
[50:18] It was community.
[50:19] Yeah.
[50:20] Community.
[50:21] Coming back to work again.
[50:22] Kind of just taking care of me but community is the number one.
[50:25] And what about positive thoughts?
[50:28] Oh that's so important.
[50:29] That's so important.
[50:30] And I find it still hard to this day to think positively all the time.
[50:34] And I feel like maybe not everyone believes that what you put out in the world you receive.
[50:40] But I do believe that.
[50:41] So I was like when I was putting out negative stuff.
[50:43] Right.
[50:44] Only negative stuff.
[50:45] Right.
[50:46] Because like it's the law of attraction.
[50:48] Yeah.
[50:49] Exactly.
[50:50] Exactly.
[50:51] So eventually I'm like okay I need to be more positive.
[50:52] And it's easier said than done.
[50:54] Trust me.
[50:55] I still get in my head sometimes.
[50:56] But yeah.
[50:57] Thinking positive thoughts consistently will help you big time.
[51:01] Yeah.
[51:02] 100%.
[51:03] Going outside.
[51:04] I know it's like everyone says go outside and touch grass or whatever.
[51:05] No.
[51:06] Go outside and touch grass.
[51:07] Yeah.
[51:08] No it does.
[51:09] It's grounding.
[51:10] Yeah.
[51:11] It is.
[51:12] It's very grounding.
[51:13] Just being out there.
[51:14] Like being active.
[51:15] Like when I get home.
[51:16] Like I do get in the rut.
[51:17] Because I travel all the time.
[51:18] And so now I'm back on the road with you guys.
[51:19] Like I don't know how long.
[51:20] Like the travel schedule is going to be.
[51:21] Right.
[51:22] Right.
[51:23] I'm busy all the time.
[51:24] Right.
[51:25] This past year I've been busy.
[51:26] And so when I'm home I just kind of like to rot on my couch.
[51:27] Yeah.
[51:28] Me too.
[51:29] I just want to kind of be alone.
[51:30] You do.
[51:31] You do.
[51:32] You don't want to see anybody.
[51:33] You want to rot on the couch.
[51:34] You want to do a squirrel.
[51:35] You want to play with my.
[51:36] I want to cuddle with my dogs.

[51:40] Yeah.
[51:41] Oh and the kids too.
[51:42] It might be.
[51:43] I am missing my dogs right now though.

[51:52] They are.
[51:53] They're the best.
[51:54] They're big slobbery gross messes.
[51:55] And I love them.
[51:56] Slobber gets everywhere.
[51:57] You get on the ceiling.
[51:58] Yes.
[51:59] People don't understand because the jowls.

[52:02] The jowls are so long that they flip up when they shake their head.
[52:03] Everywhere.
[52:04] I can't wear black a lot of the time because I'll just get little snail drills.
[52:06] Everywhere.
[52:07] It's lovely.
[52:08] Yes.
[52:09] Every time I'm at her house in black.

[52:13] Gus.
[52:14] Well and Gus.

[52:18] You getting humped?
[52:19] I mean.
[52:20] He starts like licking her arm and then he's like getting.
[52:22] No and then I get scared.
[52:23] He starts sitting very close.
[52:24] Because he's massive dog.
[52:25] Huge.
[52:26] You're like I can't fight love buddy.
[52:28] Step.

[52:31] Just let him finish.
[52:32] Just let him finish.
[52:33] Just let him finish.
[52:34] Just let him finish.
[52:35] But like he just puts his big sweet face on my arm.
[52:37] Oh and he's sweet as he is.
[52:38] And like big sweet face and walks away and my arm is just like it's fine.
[52:43] Yeah.
[52:44] Yeah and then like he wants you to hold his bone for him.
[52:46] Aww.
[52:47] So he can chew it.
[52:48] And it's by the end like his whole lip is hanging over your wrist.
[52:53] Totally.
[52:54] It's just dripping down.
[52:56] It's so gross.
[52:57] Your hands in his mouth like.
[52:59] Oh yeah.
[53:00] Oh yeah.
[53:01] I have a dog like that too.
[53:02] Oh yeah.
[53:03] It's disgusting.
[53:04] Disgusting.
[53:05] I actually got onesies for anyone that comes in my house.
[53:07] Oh really?
[53:08] Yeah.
[53:09] I'm protecting you.
[53:10] Oh.
[53:11] At least we should get this suit please.
[53:12] No.
[53:13] Onesies.
[53:14] Onesies.
[53:15] I do.
[53:16] I have like a vibe like.
[53:17] I got Thanksgiving when I had a Friendsgiving at my house.
[53:19] Yeah.
[53:20] Yeah.
[53:21] And my biggest dog.
[53:22] What do the onesies look like?
[53:24] So the onesies.
[53:25] I'm picturing scrubs that they put.
[53:28] Right?
[53:29] Right.
[53:30] Let me find these ones.
[53:31] So do they even bother getting dressed up because they know they're going to put on.
[53:33] There's no point.
[53:34] There's no point.
[53:35] Let me find this onesie.
[53:36] I've got it in here somewhere.
[53:37] Oh here's blue.
[53:38] This is the ones I got off Amazon.
[53:40] Oh.
[53:42] Alright.
[53:43] Like PJ onesies.
[53:44] But I must say they're very hot.
[53:47] There we go.
[53:48] They're hot as hell but I like my house very cold.
[53:50] Oh okay.
[53:51] I like it cold.
[53:52] I feel like you sleep better in the cold.
[53:53] Is it too hot in the suit?
[53:55] No.
[53:57] No it's fine right?
[53:59] Like is it worth it that I'm dripping sweat?
[54:01] Except well I've gotten those for.
[54:02] I'm sorry what?
[54:03] No I just said I would be dripping sweat in a fleece onesie.
[54:05] Oh yeah.
[54:06] Oh yeah.
[54:07] Is this worth it?
[54:08] Well we did it for our family for Christmas.
[54:09] Like I always get you know the Christmas PJs.
[54:11] Yeah of course.
[54:12] And this one year I had done those.
[54:15] And everybody like my poor in-laws were like taking it off and sweating.
[54:21] Oh it was bad.
[54:22] And like just it was bad.
[54:23] Like everybody was so hot.
[54:25] Well that's what I, Zach actually my makeup artist.
[54:28] Oh yeah.
[54:29] I like it freezing.
[54:30] But he did this thing where he put all the onesies in the dryer.
[54:32] Uh oh.
[54:33] And he melted them all.
[54:34] Uh oh.
[54:35] So I had to give them to everybody and they're like itching and stuff like that.
[54:38] But it's so crispy.
[54:39] It was a nightmare.
[54:40] I was like Zach.
[54:41] He was just trying to fluff them.
[54:44] He was trying to do something sweet.
[54:46] Yeah.
[54:48] Those are the richest onesies.
[54:49] You know.
[54:50] Yeah.
[54:51] But he was just trying to fluff them, make them warm, make them de-wrinkled.
[54:53] I was just like.
[54:54] Oh now everyone's itching.
[54:55] Yeah.
[54:56] It was very sweet.
[54:57] Yeah you gotta dry them on low.
[54:58] Yeah.
[54:59] Hang dress.
[55:03] You did.
[55:04] You did.
[55:05] What a guy.
[55:06] He's been my makeup artist for nine years.
[55:08] I stole him from Total Divas.
[55:09] Wow.
[55:10] Yeah I stole him from Total Divas.
[55:11] Wow.
[55:12] Take him everywhere with me.
[55:13] That's great.
[55:14] My emotional support human.
[55:15] Yeah.
[55:17] I'm sick of it.
[55:18] I bet.
[55:19] Yeah.
[55:20] Yeah exactly.
[55:21] He keeps me positive.
[55:22] But I bet you're there for him too.
[55:23] Yeah I try to be.
[55:24] Am I?
[55:25] That's a friendship.
[55:26] Yeah definitely.
[55:27] There we go.
[55:28] Yeah.
[55:29] I don't wanna answer for you.
[55:30] You can't be together nine years and not.
[55:31] That's a long time.
[55:32] Yeah.
[55:33] Yeah.
[55:34] He's a good guy.
[55:35] He takes care of me.
[55:36] That's great.
[55:38] I love you.
[55:39] He's doing heart hands.
[55:40] I always forget what we're talking about because we go all over the place.
[55:42] Well I do.
[55:43] Well no it's good though.
[55:44] No it's good.
[55:45] We're climbing up.
[55:46] We're climbing up.
[55:47] So back to the first question.
[55:48] How do I get out of this?
[55:49] So here's where we are.
[55:50] Community and positive thoughts.
[55:52] Community and positive thoughts.
[55:53] And now is there a third?
[55:55] No.
[55:58] So let me ask you a question.
[55:59] Is faith a part of your healing?
[56:01] It is for some not for others.
[56:03] You know it never was.
[56:06] I'm very open minded to it though.
[56:07] Okay.
[56:08] I went for a stage.
[56:09] I got raised in a house.
[56:10] My dad's a religious man.
[56:12] But he never forced that on me.
[56:14] But anytime I had religious studies or whatever I'd go to my dad and get like a little cheat
[56:18] sheet from him.
[56:19] You know what I mean?
[56:20] And he loved doing that.
[56:21] And so he is a religious man.
[56:22] But yeah he always let me think for myself and all that kind of.
[56:25] There's a lot of things that I see when it comes to the Bible.
[56:28] And I'm like ah like but someone told me recently it's just the message behind it.
[56:31] You know what I mean?
[56:32] Right.
[56:33] Maybe something in the Bible that doesn't seem logical to you but it's like the message
[56:35] behind it.
[56:36] So I'm definitely open minded to it.
[56:38] Right.
[56:39] And like I did have I've told this story before where I had this moment where I was in a bad
[56:45] situation and I just wanted to get out of it.
[56:47] And there was nothing I could do to get out of it and I was just terrified and scared
[56:51] and crying.
[56:52] And I was inside this closet and I had this moment of like where I prayed.
[56:56] Yeah.
[56:57] And I'm like this is my last resort kind of thing.
[56:59] And I did that and literally like the next day like something switched in my head and
[57:04] I was like I need to get out of this situation.
[57:06] Wow.
[57:07] I need to leave.
[57:08] And it like it took me so long to think like that.
[57:10] But I was like maybe that was something that happened.
[57:14] Right.
[57:15] Maybe it was meant to have.
[57:16] And like it's a higher power or whatever.
[57:17] Yeah.
[57:18] Yeah.
[57:19] But like I did have a moment where I was just like wow that was that was weird.
[57:21] You know like something happened.
[57:23] But yeah I wouldn't say that I'm like I'm not a religious person.
[57:28] Right.
[57:29] But I'm definitely open minded to it.
[57:30] 100%.
[57:31] But you have some degree of faith.
[57:33] Yes.
[57:34] Otherwise you wouldn't have tried it in the first place.
[57:35] Yeah 100%.
[57:36] 100%.
[57:37] So yeah having that moment I was just like okay like it really helped me and it gave me comfort
[57:41] in that moment too.
[57:42] Yeah.
[57:43] You know.
[57:44] That's the amazing part.
[57:45] Yeah.
[57:46] It's really really special.
[57:47] So and there's always like the stigma behind religion and stuff like that.
[57:49] I know.
[57:50] There's a stigma behind everything.
[57:51] That's true.
[57:52] You know what I mean.
[57:53] There is.
[57:54] The only thing like I say is just like if someone doesn't force religion on me like that
[57:58] then I'm very comfortable talking about it and doing it.
[58:01] But I just want to be able to think for myself when it comes to anything.
[58:04] When it comes to politics, religion, like everything.
[58:06] That's smart.
[58:07] I want to be able to think for myself.
[58:08] I don't want someone to.
[58:09] That's why I want the multiple perspectives.
[58:10] Yeah exactly.
[58:11] Yeah.
[58:12] Like you don't want to be influenced by one way.
[58:14] Yeah.
[58:15] Like you were saying.
[58:16] And then I choose.
[58:17] You want to hit all different sides.
[58:18] Exactly.
[58:19] Then you choose.
[58:20] For what's right for me.
[58:21] Exactly.
[58:22] And what I choose to believe.
[58:23] Exactly.
[58:24] And that's how I am.
[58:25] I don't like anyone to influence me.
[58:26] They don't like somebody.
[58:27] I'm just like okay.
[58:28] Well I will decide if I like them or not after I meet them.
[58:31] That's right.
[58:32] Go after your own experience.
[58:33] Exactly.
[58:34] Exactly.
[58:35] Unless they did sound terrible.
[58:36] And I'm like okay.
[58:37] Yeah.
[58:38] Maybe.
[58:39] Maybe.
[58:40] Yeah.
[58:41] But nine times out of ten I'm like let me think for myself.
[58:42] Yeah.
[58:43] You may not like them but they've always been nice to me or something.
[58:44] That's right.
[58:45] And that's what you go by.
[58:46] Yeah.
[58:47] Exactly.
[58:48] That's how my dad raised me.
[58:49] Yeah.
[58:50] And my mom.
[58:51] Sorry.
[58:52] I'm like leave my mom out.
[58:53] You're great ma.
[58:54] Yeah.
[58:55] She still looks the same though.
[58:56] God.
[58:57] I just put my dad over the whole time.
[58:59] I'm just a daddy's girl.
[59:00] Yeah.
[59:01] I grew up like my dad was a tough guy.
[59:02] You know I got hit by a car.
[59:04] I had to wrestle the same day.
[59:05] Yeah.
[59:06] Yeah.
[59:07] And like.
[59:08] Well didn't your mom wrestle pregnant with you?
[59:09] She didn't realize.
[59:10] Yeah.
[59:11] So Robbie Brookside who's down at NXT as a trainer.
[59:12] Gorilla pressed her from the outside.
[59:14] From the inside to the outside of the ring.
[59:16] And she started getting these cramps and stuff.
[59:18] She started bleeding a little bit.
[59:19] Oh shit.
[59:20] And she just had my brother.
[59:21] We're 14 months apart.
[59:22] So she.
[59:23] Irish twins.
[59:24] Irish twins.
[59:25] Yeah.
[59:26] And so she rushes to the hospital.
[59:28] And she did not have a belly at all.
[59:30] For some reason.
[59:31] Like I saw it's like a mind thing.
[59:33] Wow.
[59:34] And she didn't have a belly.
[59:35] And like I see pictures from back then.
[59:36] And she really didn't have a belly.
[59:37] It was crazy.
[59:38] And she was seven months pregnant.
[59:40] Oh my God.
[59:41] Seven months.
[59:42] Yeah.
[59:43] Wow.
[59:44] She was late.
[59:45] Wait did she show with your brother?
[59:46] Yeah.
[59:47] She was huge with my brother.
[59:48] Whoa.
[59:49] Huge.
[59:50] Yeah.
[59:51] She went to the doctor.
[59:52] And they were just like.
[59:53] I don't know if this is good news or bad news.
[59:54] But you're pregnant.
[59:55] And she was like.
[59:56] What?
[59:57] And they were like.
[59:58] Seven months.
[59:59] Seven months.
[1:00:00] I mean you're feeling.
[1:00:01] You're pretty close.
[1:00:02] Yeah.
[1:00:03] I mean you're popping out soon.
[1:00:04] Lots of movement.
[1:00:05] I'm making a freaking entrance soon.
[1:00:06] Yeah.
[1:00:07] Yeah.
[1:00:08] That's exactly what I think.
[1:00:09] Yeah.
[1:00:10] Exactly.
[1:00:11] You know what I mean.
[1:00:12] And so like.
[1:00:13] I was about to say.
[1:00:14] Just the hand comes out first.
[1:00:15] Yeah.
[1:00:18] Tiny little hand.
[1:00:19] So then.
[1:00:20] She said that it is a mind thing.
[1:00:22] Because all of a sudden she started to notice that she was growing and growing.
[1:00:25] And I was still a small baby.
[1:00:27] Well.
[1:00:28] End up being seven pound ten.
[1:00:29] Okay.
[1:00:30] That's pretty good.
[1:00:31] Yeah.
[1:00:32] It's a pretty good baby.
[1:00:33] If someone hasn't had kids that seems like a pretty good baby.
[1:00:34] Yeah.
[1:00:35] Yeah.
[1:00:36] Especially.
[1:00:37] Yeah.
[1:00:38] You were.
[1:00:39] She was seven months pregnant.
[1:00:40] I know.
[1:00:41] I tell her that's the reason why I have scoliosis.
[1:00:42] I was like.
[1:00:43] We always blame our mothers.
[1:00:44] Oh.
[1:00:45] That's the reason.
[1:00:46] And let me tell you.
[1:00:47] It's happening to me now.
[1:00:48] Oh is it?
[1:00:49] Yes.
[1:00:50] It's all my fault.
[1:00:51] Oh is it?
[1:00:52] Oh no.
[1:00:53] Yes.
[1:00:55] Always everything.
[1:00:56] Why do we do that?
[1:00:57] I don't know.
[1:00:58] But it's okay.
[1:00:59] Yeah it's okay.
[1:01:00] I don't mind.
[1:01:01] You're like I'll take it.
[1:01:02] Yeah.
[1:01:03] Cause I've been.
[1:01:04] You know I know what it's like from their perspective at least in some way.
[1:01:05] Yeah.
[1:01:06] My mom always said that mothers are to be flogged.
[1:01:08] Wow.
[1:01:09] Yeah.
[1:01:10] Yeah.
[1:01:12] I'm in the stage where I want to have babies too.
[1:01:13] Yeah.
[1:01:14] I am.
[1:01:15] Yeah.
[1:01:16] I'm like I see babies.
[1:01:17] Like you talk about kids and stuff like that.
[1:01:18] You know I'm going to be 34 and I'm just like I want to freeze my eggs.
[1:01:20] Yeah you should.
[1:01:21] I haven't told anyone that.
[1:01:22] But I really do want to freeze my eggs.
[1:01:23] You should.
[1:01:24] Yeah and I just.
[1:01:25] You absolutely should.
[1:01:26] I should.
[1:01:27] Yes.
[1:01:28] There's nothing wrong with it.
[1:01:29] Get them now.
[1:01:30] Yeah.
[1:01:31] Yeah.
[1:01:32] While I have them.
[1:01:33] Because our eggs do mature.
[1:01:34] Yeah they do.
[1:01:35] Yeah.
[1:01:36] And it gets harder to.
[1:01:37] Yeah.
[1:01:38] You know.
[1:01:39] And we get less and less of them too.
[1:01:40] So I was like oh I really want to freeze my eggs.
[1:01:41] Like kids come to my son and they.
[1:01:42] Or like people bring their babies.
[1:01:44] Yeah.
[1:01:45] And they're just like let me hold that child.
[1:01:46] You know.
[1:01:47] It's so great.
[1:01:48] Yeah.
[1:01:49] And I see Bianca just is pregnant.
[1:01:50] Yes.
[1:01:51] You know Naomi.
[1:01:52] The abs.
[1:01:53] The abs.
[1:01:54] That was wild.
[1:01:55] Yeah.
[1:01:56] I saw that.
[1:01:57] She dropped the robe of that before.
[1:01:58] I've never seen it.
[1:01:59] It's amazing.
[1:02:00] She dropped the robe and we were like she's pregnant.
[1:02:01] She has abs.
[1:02:02] Yeah.
[1:02:03] In the same.
[1:02:04] Everybody has the same sort of.
[1:02:05] What is her problem.
[1:02:06] You know.
[1:02:07] Right.
[1:02:08] Yeah.
[1:02:09] They are just so in shape.
[1:02:11] It's crazy.
[1:02:12] It's crazy.
[1:02:13] Yeah.
[1:02:14] But the great thing about WWE now is like.
[1:02:16] You know.
[1:02:17] People bring their kids on the road.
[1:02:18] Yeah.
[1:02:19] You know.
[1:02:20] Everyone's popping out.
[1:02:21] Babies bring them around.
[1:02:22] And then they.
[1:02:23] Like the women are starting to have a little later.
[1:02:24] So I'm like inspired by it.
[1:02:25] You know.
[1:02:26] The Bella twins had later.
[1:02:27] Renee had her kid later.
[1:02:28] You know.
[1:02:29] Like everyone's more mature when they're having kids.
[1:02:31] That's right.
[1:02:32] And that is.
[1:02:33] Although I will tell you it's a harder recovery if you have them yourself.
[1:02:36] Yeah.
[1:02:37] As you get older.
[1:02:38] And chasing them around.
[1:02:40] Is not as easy.
[1:02:41] As you get older.
[1:02:42] My body already hurts.
[1:02:43] Yeah.
[1:02:44] Okay.
[1:02:45] I feel you.
[1:02:46] But.
[1:02:47] But.
[1:02:48] Don't let that deter you.
[1:02:49] No.
[1:02:50] I'm not.
[1:02:51] I really like.
[1:02:52] I went through one stage.
[1:02:53] I was like.
[1:02:54] No.
[1:02:55] No kids.
[1:02:56] No kids.
[1:02:57] No kids.
[1:02:58] I mean.
[1:02:59] I still want to give it a couple of years.
[1:03:00] I just want to freeze my eggs now.
[1:03:01] No.
[1:03:02] You're not saying you're leaving.
[1:03:03] No.
[1:03:04] No.
[1:03:05] The best ones.
[1:03:06] Yeah.
[1:03:07] Yeah.
[1:03:08] Exactly.
[1:03:09] I'm like.
[1:03:10] You know.
[1:03:11] Do your best down there.
[1:03:12] The biggest juiciest egg.
[1:03:13] Get it.
[1:03:14] Yeah.
[1:03:15] Yeah.
[1:03:16] So I just.
[1:03:17] I really.
[1:03:18] Yeah.
[1:03:19] And some people don't.
[1:03:20] Yeah.
[1:03:21] And that's okay.
[1:03:22] You know what.
[1:03:23] And if you don't want kids.
[1:03:24] Then don't have them.
[1:03:25] Exactly.
[1:03:26] Because then they're.
[1:03:27] They're going to know.
[1:03:28] Exactly.
[1:03:29] You know.
[1:03:30] Oh they're going to feel it.
[1:03:31] So great.
[1:03:32] Yeah.
[1:03:33] But I was like.
[1:03:34] Yeah.
[1:03:35] Running around.
[1:03:36] It's the best.
[1:03:37] There's nothing like it in the world.
[1:03:38] Oh yeah.
[1:03:39] But if there's like a little mini me running around.
[1:03:40] I'm like.
[1:03:41] I'm screwed.
[1:03:42] I know what I was like.
[1:03:43] That does happen.
[1:03:44] My mom cursed me.
[1:03:45] Oh.
[1:03:46] What do you mean?
[1:03:47] She said.
[1:03:48] I hope you have won exactly like you one day.
[1:03:51] Oh my.
[1:03:52] Well do you?
[1:03:53] I don't know what I did.
[1:03:54] Oh yeah.
[1:03:55] She's like.
[1:03:56] Oh yeah.
[1:03:57] I guess we did.
[1:03:58] Oh yeah.
[1:03:59] And all three in different ways.
[1:04:01] Oh my gosh.
[1:04:02] It's a powerful curse.
[1:04:03] They all look so good.
[1:04:04] I was just telling you.
[1:04:05] They all look so grown up.
[1:04:06] It's.
[1:04:07] Crazy.
[1:04:08] Especially Aurora.
[1:04:09] Who I had like a little connection with.
[1:04:10] I know.
[1:04:11] It was just crazy.
[1:04:12] Just seeing them like.

[1:04:19] I've never even seen some of that footage.
[1:04:20] It was beautiful.
[1:04:21] Of me like so young.
[1:04:22] Yes.
[1:04:23] And giving interviews about what I want my impact on the business to be.
[1:04:25] And I'm like.

[1:04:50] But you.
[1:04:51] What you were saying.

[1:04:53] The way you were saying it in this younger sweet voice.
[1:04:55] And like.
[1:04:57] Everything that's happened in between.
[1:04:59] It's been a little bit.
[1:05:00] Um.
[1:05:01] But.
[1:05:02] It was.
[1:05:03] That footage got me.
[1:05:04] I don't know.
[1:05:05] It was like.
[1:05:06] Whoever knew.
[1:05:08] Whoever was filming it knew.
[1:05:09] Like.
[1:05:10] Somehow.
[1:05:11] That it was going to matter.
[1:05:12] Sometime.
[1:05:13] Oh man.
[1:05:14] It was beautiful.
[1:05:15] So much.
[1:05:16] In your career.
[1:05:17] Like.
[1:05:18] You were very inspiring for women.
[1:05:19] And anyone that's worked.
[1:05:20] Any woman.
[1:05:21] Or a man.
[1:05:22] But.
[1:05:23] Just speaking from a woman's perspective here.
[1:05:24] Any woman that's worked with you.
[1:05:25] Have only ever said positive things.
[1:05:27] Like.
[1:05:28] You're very.

[1:05:33] You're understanding.
[1:05:34] And you.
[1:05:35] You.

[1:05:37] As women too.
[1:05:38] Like.
[1:05:39] You're an advocate for us.
[1:05:40] And.
[1:05:41] You've always been like that.
[1:05:42] And I always appreciated that about you.
[1:05:43] And just see.
[1:05:44] Dude.
[1:05:45] And I was like.
[1:05:46] Why hasn't she been put in that way before though?
[1:05:48] I never understood.
[1:05:49] I mean.
[1:05:50] I was like.
[1:05:51] What's going on here?
[1:05:52] Why the delay?
[1:05:53] You know what I mean?
[1:05:54] It was the right time.
[1:05:55] Who we gotta talk to?
[1:05:56] Well.
[1:05:57] The McMahons were never supposed to be.
[1:05:58] In the Hall of Fame.
[1:05:59] As.
[1:06:00] Really?
[1:06:02] As I was.
[1:06:03] Always brought up.
[1:06:04] You know.
[1:06:05] We were.
[1:06:06] Characters that were.
[1:06:07] Intentionally designed to get other talent over.
[1:06:09] Yeah.
[1:06:10] So.
[1:06:11] It was never about us.
[1:06:12] You know.
[1:06:13] So.
[1:06:14] And that's just sort of.
[1:06:15] Brain.
[1:06:16] Your character is so powerful though.
[1:06:17] I mean.
[1:06:18] You got a reaction.
[1:06:19] Every single time.
[1:06:20] That never dulled.
[1:06:21] Ever.
[1:06:22] The slap package was hilarious.
[1:06:24] Oh my god.
[1:06:25] The things I would hear about those slaps.
[1:06:26] I feel so bad.
[1:06:27] Like you look at them.
[1:06:28] I'm like damn.
[1:06:29] I played in.
[1:06:30] Oh yeah.
[1:06:31] You got a right hook on top.
[1:06:32] Yeah.
[1:06:33] You had a right hook on you.
[1:06:34] The amount of.
[1:06:35] Popped eardrums that people got on you.
[1:06:36] Oh my god.
[1:06:37] I feel so bad about that too.
[1:06:38] It was great.
[1:06:39] I never thought I got people.
[1:06:40] And then all of a sudden I started to hear later.
[1:06:42] Yeah.
[1:06:43] That I got people.
[1:06:44] I was like oh.
[1:06:45] Well they don't want to.
[1:06:46] At first you're like yeah Stephanie that was great.
[1:06:47] What?
[1:06:48] Stephanie McMahon.
[1:06:49] Come on.
[1:06:50] But yeah.
[1:06:51] I was like I wish I could just get one slap maybe down the road from you.
[1:06:54] Oh my god.
[1:06:55] No way.
[1:06:56] No way.
[1:06:57] That's like you're.
[1:06:58] That's you.
[1:06:59] And that's like it was.
[1:07:00] That made me laugh though.
[1:07:01] It was so funny.
[1:07:02] It was so good.
[1:07:03] But people.
[1:07:04] And I love the activation of the world.
[1:07:05] Oh yeah.
[1:07:06] Yeah.
[1:07:07] At Fanatics.
[1:07:08] They have the dummy.
[1:07:09] Oh they do?
[1:07:10] Yeah.
[1:07:11] I didn't see that.
[1:07:12] And you know I had it rigged so I'm always at the top.
[1:07:13] Don't tell him.
[1:07:14] As you should be queen.
[1:07:15] Don't tell him.
[1:07:16] As you should be queen.
[1:07:17] I can tell him now.
[1:07:18] Yeah.
[1:07:19] I mean you have to be number one.
[1:07:20] Let's be real.
[1:07:21] Of course.
[1:07:22] I was like that's my one thing.
[1:07:23] Guys.
[1:07:24] I can't be beat.
[1:07:25] It always looked so good because it was real.
[1:07:26] Yeah.
[1:07:27] Yeah.
[1:07:28] But it looked so good.
[1:07:29] You had to.
[1:07:30] Those slaps you can't fake.
[1:07:31] Yeah.
[1:07:32] It's true.
[1:07:33] You cannot.
[1:07:34] You have to lay it in.
[1:07:35] You have to lay it in.
[1:07:36] Cause it's not.
[1:07:37] And the guys were like if you're gonna, if I'm gonna sell.
[1:07:38] Yeah.
[1:07:39] For you.
[1:07:40] You know you gotta lay it in.
[1:07:41] Yeah.
[1:07:42] Cause I'm a small woman.
[1:07:43] Right.
[1:07:44] Yeah.
[1:07:45] You know.
[1:07:46] You pack a powerful slap.
[1:07:47] Yeah.
[1:07:48] Slaps are fun.
[1:07:49] They're fun to do.
[1:07:50] Ben Flair will sell the shit out of it.
[1:07:51] Yeah.
[1:07:52] They'll buff all over the place for you.
[1:07:53] TJ did not sell mine whatsoever.
[1:07:56] TJ they was like we were doing that story like.
[1:07:57] I hate it when they don't sell.
[1:07:58] Yeah.
[1:07:59] It's the worst.
[1:08:00] Daniel Bryan wouldn't sell my slap.
[1:08:01] Just help me out.
[1:08:02] That was a good one.
[1:08:03] Right.
[1:08:04] That's on the internet too.
[1:08:05] Like it was uh.
[1:08:06] It was when Natty and TJ had that storyline where he was kind of like pushing Natty's confidence
[1:08:10] down and would like take her celebrations and stuff like.
[1:08:13] Yeah.
[1:08:14] Like you know just being a narcissistic asshole.
[1:08:16] Forgot about that.
[1:08:17] Yeah.
[1:08:18] And I was randomly with them at times you know.
[1:08:20] And so he kept distracting me from the match.
[1:08:22] I end up losing or whatever.
[1:08:23] I roll out and I give him this big wall.
[1:08:25] I slapped the shit out of him.
[1:08:27] And he didn't move a muscle.
[1:08:28] Oh.
[1:08:29] Not even to say he just went.
[1:08:30] Oh.
[1:08:32] And didn't do anything.
[1:08:33] And I was like damn that was really good.
[1:08:34] And I swung to the point I turned all the way around.
[1:08:37] Right.
[1:08:38] Yeah.
[1:08:39] You get like a whip on it.
[1:08:40] Oh my gosh.
[1:08:41] 360 dude.
[1:08:42] I was crazy.
[1:08:43] But yeah.
[1:08:44] He never sold it.
[1:08:45] Yeah.
[1:08:46] Daniel Bryan wouldn't sell my slabs either.
[1:08:47] And I was slapping him with the right and then I started slapping him.
[1:08:49] Oh yeah.
[1:08:50] I was trying everything I could and he didn't do shit.
[1:08:53] Oh he didn't bug.
[1:08:54] He didn't bug.
[1:08:55] Rick Floyd would sell our slabs.
[1:08:57] Oh yeah.
[1:08:58] He would bump.
[1:08:59] He'd bump all over the place.
[1:09:01] He fell on the ropes.
[1:09:05] Feet in for another one.
[1:09:06] Yeah.
[1:09:07] It was so funny.
[1:09:08] I was like that.
[1:09:09] Yeah.
[1:09:10] You got to slap all the good ones.
[1:09:12] I did.
[1:09:13] I did.
[1:09:14] What was your favorite slap that you got to do?
[1:09:15] So you know I've been asked this now today.
[1:09:16] I bet.
[1:09:17] Yeah.
[1:09:18] And it's not my favorite slap.
[1:09:19] I don't know that I have a favorite but one of the ones that was particularly good
[1:09:24] was when I slapped the rock at Levi's statement.
[1:09:26] Oh yeah.
[1:09:27] It just landed like perfectly.
[1:09:30] It had a lot of velocity.
[1:09:32] Yeah.
[1:09:33] And I didn't even mean to.
[1:09:34] I think I was just like geeked because I knew Rhonda was about to come in the ring and I was like really excited.
[1:09:39] Oh yes.
[1:09:40] Yeah.
[1:09:41] Oh that was so special.
[1:09:42] Oh so I mean it had a lot in it.
[1:09:44] Yeah.
[1:09:45] You know a lot of emotion in that slap.
[1:09:46] Yeah.
[1:09:47] And man it was a good one.
[1:09:48] That was so exciting to watch.
[1:09:50] Oh it was so fun.
[1:09:51] Like just to see that whole thing come together was great.
[1:09:53] And you and Bri.
[1:09:54] Oh yeah.
[1:09:55] Your storyline.
[1:09:56] I was like you bitch.
[1:09:57] He's great.
[1:09:58] You slapped her good.
[1:09:59] Oh you.
[1:10:00] She got me too actually.
[1:10:01] Oh yeah.
[1:10:02] She got me back.
[1:10:03] And I told her too.
[1:10:04] I'm like you gotta lay it in.
[1:10:05] Like at work.
[1:10:06] It's the same conversation.
[1:10:07] Yeah.
[1:10:08] And the girls are always tough.
[1:10:09] Oh girls are tough.
[1:10:10] Yeah.
[1:10:11] Yeah.
[1:10:12] We can handle.
[1:10:13] We can handle a right hook.
[1:10:14] One.
[1:10:15] And giving it back.
[1:10:16] Oh 100%.
[1:10:17] Yeah.
[1:10:18] I think she enjoyed it.
[1:10:19] You give each other receipts.
[1:10:20] Yeah.
[1:10:21] There was a couple of steps I saw.
[1:10:22] You slapped her in the crowd and then you slapped her off the side of the apron.
[1:10:25] Yeah.
[1:10:26] Well she didn't have a choice but she'd be like.
[1:10:28] She had fucking timbered down.
[1:10:30] I was like damn dude.
[1:10:31] I was like I went with those.
[1:10:32] So I forgot what I said.
[1:10:34] It was such a great like moment.
[1:10:35] It was just a fun.
[1:10:36] You know sometimes they land like so well and it did.
[1:10:39] And it was like I was pretending to be upset and like that I agreed to the match and then
[1:10:44] all of a sudden I just turned and I slapped her off the side of the apron and I called
[1:10:49] her a bitch.
[1:10:50] Yes.
[1:10:51] And people were like.
[1:10:52] It was so fun.

[1:12:05] I always talk about with people, because I always get asked questions about who's like your Mount Rushmore of mics and stuff.
[1:12:12] I hate that question.
[1:12:13] I know, it's like it's very, every time.
[1:12:16] There's too much history.
[1:12:17] There's too much history.
[1:12:18] It's not like we're a five year old brand.
[1:12:19] Exactly.
[1:12:20] But I will say, I always say you and Paul Heyman.
[1:12:23] But I always say you when it comes to mic work, because it's your, it's like you have subtle reactions too, where you're not like, you can be big.
[1:12:31] Right.
[1:12:32] For the people that are in the nosebleed seats or whatever, you can be big for them.
[1:12:35] But like you do like these subtle like facial reactions, and it's just so good.
[1:12:40] Like you're so good with your emotions.
[1:12:42] Oh, thank you.
[1:12:43] And I love that.
[1:12:44] That's a huge compliment.
[1:12:45] Yeah, like I would watch your stuff, because we would have to watch tape, you know, down.
[1:12:48] Yeah, yeah.
[1:12:49] And NXT and FCW.
[1:12:50] Well, that's how I learned too.
[1:12:51] Yeah, you would just watch.
[1:12:52] You know, but the difference is, while we're watching tape, maybe critiquing you or whoever, I'm hearing Kevin Dunn and Vince give their feedback.
[1:13:03] At the same time as?
[1:13:04] Well, I just mean like, sort of the same situation.
[1:13:07] Yeah, yeah, okay.
[1:13:08] Like the conversation.
[1:13:09] So that's how I've always, and I didn't realize like the seed I had, right, the learning tree that I was under.
[1:13:17] Oh, yeah.
[1:13:18] But everything I learned, I learned while they're talking it through.
[1:13:22] Mm-hmm.
[1:13:23] You know, and it's like, I don't know, I think that was a great way to learn.
[1:13:28] Yeah.
[1:13:29] Because it causes you to think.
[1:13:30] Mm-hmm.
[1:13:31] Right?
[1:13:32] And you are hearing the multiple perspectives, right?
[1:13:33] Yeah.
[1:13:34] So they're like sort of hashing it out.
[1:13:35] Mm-hmm.
[1:13:36] I learned so much.
[1:13:37] Just.
[1:13:38] Just like consistency.
[1:13:39] By listening.
[1:13:40] By doing and listening.
[1:13:41] Yeah.
[1:13:42] And watching.
[1:13:43] Yeah, watching.
[1:13:44] And then seeing for other people, and then knowing what they're looking for.
[1:13:46] Mm-hmm.
[1:13:47] Right?
[1:13:48] Because now, okay, I know what you're looking for.
[1:13:49] Yeah.
[1:13:50] Sure, I'm going to give you what you want.
[1:13:51] Exactly.
[1:13:52] You know?
[1:13:53] But you're so good.
[1:13:54] You're so good.
[1:13:55] The mean mug faces you do.
[1:13:56] You know, like.
[1:13:57] I love the mean face.
[1:13:58] Oh, dude.
[1:13:59] Oh, she's like, I've seen that a couple of times.
[1:14:00] And I'm so young.
[1:14:01] Yeah.
[1:14:02] She has a picture of me, but I have one of you too.
[1:14:03] Oh, yeah?
[1:14:04] Where's the picture?
[1:14:05] Mm-hmm.
[1:14:06] Oh.
[1:14:07] Do you have it?
[1:14:08] Go on.
[1:14:09] It's in my favorite.
[1:14:10] Prove it.
[1:14:11] It's terrible.
[1:14:12] I said I was going to set it as the background of my phone.
[1:14:13] But like you do this evil smile to you.
[1:14:14] It's just like, oh, my God.
[1:14:15] Because it feels good to be bad.
[1:14:16] Yeah.
[1:14:17] I was like.
[1:14:18] She's so good at it.
[1:14:19] You're just so good.
[1:14:20] I just enjoyed it.
[1:14:21] Yeah.
[1:14:22] You know?
[1:14:23] And the people loved it.
[1:14:24] Yeah, they do.
[1:14:25] They love to hate me.
[1:14:26] Oh, yeah.
[1:14:27] But when I like get them, you know, or surprise them or whatever, like they love to be had
[1:14:33] too.
[1:14:34] You know?
[1:14:35] Yeah, but you're so good to it.
[1:14:36] Like you can go out there and be a babyface very easily if you wanted to.
[1:14:39] But you can also turn people on top.
[1:14:40] No, you've gone out there.
[1:14:41] You have.
[1:14:42] And people get so excited when you first walk out.
[1:14:44] But then you go on the mic and you switch them like this.
[1:14:46] Yeah.
[1:14:47] That's what I mean.
[1:14:48] My honeymoon doesn't last.
[1:14:49] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1:14:50] Exactly.
[1:14:51] It's like particularly fast.
[1:14:52] Yeah.
[1:14:53] No, I feel you.
[1:14:54] Trust me.
[1:14:55] I think it's going to pop up here.
[1:14:56] Oh, wonderful.
[1:14:57] Let's see.
[1:14:58] It's trying to airdrop.
[1:14:59] Oh, it hasn't gone through yet.
[1:15:00] Oh, good.
[1:15:02] It'll get there.
[1:15:03] Oh, maybe I've got, I've put my Denhausen on it.
[1:15:05] It's not going to go through.
[1:15:06] I love that you put Denhausen here.
[1:15:09] He's so great.
[1:15:10] I love that guy.
[1:15:11] Oh, my God.
[1:15:12] Yeah.
[1:15:13] When you said your mom cursed you, I was like, the original.
[1:15:16] Yeah.
[1:15:17] I'm glad that the fans came around really quickly.
[1:15:19] Yeah.
[1:15:20] Because I think they just didn't know at first.
[1:15:22] What it was.
[1:15:23] Why we were doing it, you know?
[1:15:25] And now it's, now it's like, well, because he's really good.
[1:15:27] Yeah.
[1:15:28] He's great.
[1:15:29] Yeah.
[1:15:30] And he's got like this crazy charisma.
[1:15:31] Yeah.
[1:15:32] I'm trying.
[1:15:33] And only he can pull that kind of character off too.
[1:15:34] Yeah.
[1:15:35] But it's so good.
[1:15:36] That's what I mean.
[1:15:37] Yeah.
[1:15:38] It's like very, and then to see him work, he was pretty good.
[1:15:40] He's a great worker too.
[1:15:41] Yeah.
[1:15:42] Yeah.
[1:15:43] When he starts like wrestling some more.
[1:15:44] But yeah, I love that the fans came around and they love him.
[1:15:47] Yeah.
[1:15:48] Because I was like, he's such a good dude.
[1:15:49] Yeah.
[1:15:50] I love that guy.
[1:15:51] Because you know him how long?
[1:15:52] Yeah.
[1:15:53] Well, about four or five years now.
[1:15:56] Yeah.
[1:15:57] I would say.
[1:15:58] That's great.
[1:15:59] And then I saw him in Manchester.
[1:16:00] I was doing a signing out there.
[1:16:01] But like the weekends that he was debuting and he didn't say anything to me.
[1:16:05] Wow.
[1:16:06] Fair enough though.
[1:16:07] It was a secret.
[1:16:08] Sure.
[1:16:09] But I was like, man, I was so happy for him.
[1:16:10] That's awesome.
[1:16:11] Yeah.
[1:16:12] Did you meet his wife too?
[1:16:13] She's the last one.
[1:16:14] No, I haven't met her yet.
[1:16:15] She's like this pin up beautiful.
[1:16:16] Oh yeah.
[1:16:17] Yeah.
[1:16:18] They're perfect for each other.
[1:16:19] Oh, that's so great.
[1:16:20] Yeah.
[1:16:21] Anyway, I'm happy he's there.
[1:16:22] But I'm happy that I'm here.
[1:16:23] What about you?
[1:16:24] But I'm happy that I'm here.
[1:16:25] That's right.
[1:16:26] Yeah.
[1:16:27] Amen.
[1:16:28] I don't know.
[1:16:29] I told you, I've put my electric voodoo on it.
[1:16:34] No?
[1:16:35] Didn't work?
[1:16:37] Oh, there you go.
[1:16:38] Great.
[1:16:39] Here we go.
[1:16:40] Here we go.
[1:16:41] This is the face she makes at me when I've disappointed her.
[1:16:45] When you've disappointed me in particular.
[1:16:47] Well.
[1:16:48] That was a photo shoot.
[1:16:52] And like in the moment something.
[1:16:55] Well, there was a lot of things happening.
[1:16:56] There was some things going not right.
[1:16:58] Wait, how long have you guys been friends for?
[1:17:00] A long time.
[1:17:01] Long time?
[1:17:02] Yeah.
[1:17:03] Well, we're going on 10 years of.
[1:17:04] Of working together.
[1:17:05] Yes.
[1:17:06] And I would say we were friends right away, you know, for sure.
[1:17:09] Yeah.
[1:17:10] But, yeah.
[1:17:11] But it was a working relationship.
[1:17:12] That's how you met.
[1:17:13] Yeah.
[1:17:14] Oh, I love that so much.
[1:17:15] That was the same with me and Zach over there.
[1:17:16] Yeah.
[1:17:17] That's right.
[1:17:18] Working relationship, blossoms, and it's something special.
[1:17:19] Yeah, because you like, you're together.
[1:17:21] You get to know what the person likes, like, what they don't like.
[1:17:24] Oh my God, it was so funny.
[1:17:25] So, like, just one example of that.
[1:17:27] Sorry to cut you off.
[1:17:28] Yeah, no.
[1:17:29] It's fine.
[1:17:30] And, like, I don't realize, I think that I, you know, don't wear my emotions on my sleeve,
[1:17:37] but she could read me, like, a book.
[1:17:38] Yeah.
[1:17:39] I'm sure other people got to.
[1:17:40] Yeah.
[1:17:41] But so this waiter comes over and it's just the two of us, one of the first dinners we
[1:17:44] had had just you and me.
[1:17:45] Yeah.
[1:17:46] And the waiter comes over and he's just irritating the shit out of me.
[1:17:50] I don't even remember what he was doing.
[1:17:52] He was reading the wine list.
[1:17:53] But it was something.
[1:17:55] There was something.
[1:17:56] Yeah, no.
[1:17:57] Bothering me.
[1:17:59] But I didn't think I sold.
[1:18:00] Like, I didn't think you could tell how.
[1:18:02] Then I was, like, irritated for no reason, right?
[1:18:04] Like, I guess it was ridiculous.
[1:18:06] And then Elise looks at me and she's like, oh, that guy.
[1:18:09] He didn't know when to stop.
[1:18:11] You were like, I like you.
[1:18:13] I was like, oh, wait a minute.
[1:18:15] Yeah.
[1:18:16] How'd you know?
[1:18:17] You were like, you know, it was just a moment.
[1:18:21] But he clearly wasn't paying attention.
[1:18:23] No.
[1:18:24] And he continued for the rest of the evening.
[1:18:26] He did.
[1:18:27] We've never returned.
[1:18:28] Just kidding.
[1:18:29] I don't think you would have a pretty good poker face, though.
[1:18:30] I don't think in all these years that I've known you.
[1:18:32] Well, but she reads me like a book.
[1:18:33] But she can read.
[1:18:34] Yeah.
[1:18:35] Like a book.
[1:18:36] Yeah.
[1:18:37] And I guess I must just say what I'm thinking a lot.
[1:18:40] Well.
[1:18:41] Or, yeah, just when you're, like, with someone all the time and in, like, good and bad situations
[1:18:48] and, like, meetings, like, you were prepping for the Vince meeting with the 20 things and then you came back and I was like, fuck, what was it?
[1:18:57] Yeah.
[1:18:58] Like, what do we need to know for next time?
[1:18:59] Yeah.
[1:19:00] The work.
[1:19:01] Mm-hmm.
[1:19:02] Turn friendship.
[1:19:04] Turn.
[1:19:05] Whatever this is.
[1:19:06] What do they say about relationships formed in, what, crisis situations?
[1:19:09] Is that it?
[1:19:10] Oh, yeah.
[1:19:11] Oh, that's.
[1:19:12] Yeah.
[1:19:13] And that's in the movie Speed.
[1:19:14] What is it?
[1:19:15] For the call out.
[1:19:16] But I don't remember what the exact quote was.
[1:19:18] And then I said it since, like, recently.
[1:19:21] Some random guy knew what it was, but I didn't retain it.
[1:19:23] Anyway.
[1:19:25] I don't even know what you're saying.
[1:19:27] It's okay.
[1:19:28] I'm influenced by Paige right now.
[1:19:30] Yeah.
[1:19:31] Come on, girls.
[1:19:32] Come on.
[1:19:33] I'm under her spell.
[1:19:34] Yeah, yeah.
[1:19:35] You're welcome.
[1:19:36] I mean, that makes sense.
[1:19:37] But, are you getting it up or no?
[1:19:41] Am I?
[1:19:42] Okay.
[1:19:43] I didn't know if we're waiting for something.
[1:19:44] Sorry.
[1:19:45] No, no, no.
[1:19:46] Okay.
[1:19:47] You just seem to be searching for something.
[1:19:49] Yeah, I know.
[1:19:50] Are we waiting for something?
[1:19:51] Yeah, I'm scared.
[1:19:53] Uh-oh.
[1:19:55] Is it a photo of us fighting?
[1:19:56] Oh, God.
[1:19:57] What are you looking?
[1:19:58] He looks like he's up to something.
[1:19:59] He does.
[1:20:00] I agree.
[1:20:01] You look like the cat that ate the canary right now.
[1:20:03] Tweety Bird, he looks like he's up to something.
[1:20:05] Oh.
[1:20:06] Oh, okay.
[1:20:07] Oh, okay.
[1:20:08] You look cheeky.
[1:20:09] You do.
[1:20:10] You have, like, this chuckle on your face.
[1:20:11] Joe.
[1:20:12] Joe.
[1:20:13] You look cheeky instead.
[1:20:14] Cheeky.
[1:20:15] Cheeky.
[1:20:16] Yeah.
[1:20:17] Yeah, you look like you're up to something over there.
[1:20:18] Look at that.
[1:20:20] Why did your voice get high pitched?
[1:20:21] Poor Joe.
[1:20:22] They've been working hard this week, too.
[1:20:24] I'll tell you that.
[1:20:25] This team does all of the pods.
[1:20:27] Yeah.
[1:20:28] You know, there's, like, a variation, but there's one big pod team, and they do-
[1:20:31] Like Cody's and everyone's?
[1:20:32] Right?
[1:20:33] Correct me where I'm wrong, but they do Takers, Cody's, after Raw, Logan's when you're here.
[1:20:37] Wow.
[1:20:38] Right?
[1:20:39] Wow.
[1:20:40] Ours.
[1:20:41] Yours.
[1:20:42] Yeah.
[1:20:46] Damn, you guys must be exhausted, huh?
[1:20:48] Damn.
[1:20:50] Yeah.
[1:20:51] Listen to people yap all the time.
[1:20:52] I should know this is Takersina.
[1:20:53] Sorry.
[1:20:54] Sorry if I'm yapping a lot.
[1:20:56] No, no, no.
[1:20:58] You guys did Takersina happen?
[1:20:59] Yes.
[1:21:00] How was it?
[1:21:01] I can't even believe I just totally missed it.
[1:21:03] You were a little busy this weekend.
[1:21:06] No, but how was it?
[1:21:10] Yeah.
[1:21:11] Oh, they did a podcast together.
[1:21:12] They did it live.
[1:21:13] Yeah.
[1:21:14] Oh, good.
[1:21:15] When you said live, it made me think of it.
[1:21:17] Oh, that's awesome.
[1:21:18] Awesome.
[1:21:19] I was really looking forward to that one.
[1:21:20] I got to catch it.
[1:21:21] Yeah.
[1:21:23] Oh, I love it.
[1:21:24] Good.
[1:21:25] I'm glad they got Mark.
[1:21:26] Yeah.
[1:21:27] I got to see John a little bit yesterday, too, dude.
[1:21:28] Yes.
[1:21:29] Still the same guy.
[1:21:30] I know he is.
[1:21:31] Exactly the same.
[1:21:32] Yes.
[1:21:33] I'm like, yes.
[1:21:34] He's such a good guy.
[1:21:36] He was so funny when he turned to the camera and he was like, I'm not running down the
[1:21:40] ramp.
[1:21:41] Yeah.
[1:21:42] He's in a boot.
[1:21:43] That's why.
[1:21:44] That's right.
[1:21:45] Yeah.
[1:21:46] He doesn't have to do any of that.
[1:21:47] Yeah, that's right.
[1:21:48] He retired.
[1:21:49] Now he's the host.
[1:21:50] I was scared I wasn't going to be able to see him because he retired, but I was like,
[1:21:51] oh, thank gosh.
[1:21:52] No, he's still part of the business.
[1:21:53] Yeah.
[1:21:54] What a guy.
[1:21:55] Right?
[1:21:56] Yeah.
[1:21:57] I love his missus, too.
[1:21:58] She didn't come up to me without him around, and I was like, oh, yeah.
[1:21:59] Yeah.
[1:22:00] Thank you.
[1:22:01] Yeah, she was very sweet.
[1:22:02] She did nothing but positive things, and she seems very, very sweet to me, and she's
[1:22:06] gorgeous.
[1:22:07] Yeah, she's beautiful.
[1:22:08] Yeah.
[1:22:09] Yeah.
[1:22:10] Yeah.
[1:22:11] Stunning.
[1:22:12] Lucky Joan, you know?
[1:22:13] Yeah, that's right.
[1:22:14] How'd he get that one?
[1:22:15] I'm joking, Joan.
[1:22:16] You're joking.
[1:22:17] As they say.
[1:22:19] Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[1:22:21] Gosh.
[1:22:22] So what are you, like, what are you feeling?
[1:22:26] What are you thinking in terms of your goals, right?
[1:22:28] Like, in a couple years, maybe we're going to have a baby, but we're going to free some
[1:22:32] eggs in the meantime.
[1:22:33] Yeah, we're going to free some eggs in the meantime.
[1:22:34] And, you know, what do you want to bring?
[1:22:36] You're champ already.
[1:22:37] I know.
[1:22:38] Right?
[1:22:39] That's crazy.
[1:22:40] One half of the tag team champions.
[1:22:42] So, like, what would, how would you, I'm going to ask a question from my video.
[1:22:49] How would you define your success in, you know, four to five years?
[1:22:54] Oh, my gosh.
[1:22:55] I just, I came in this time with a mindset where I just want to be happy.
[1:23:01] Yeah.
[1:23:02] And have fun.
[1:23:03] Because I don't think I'm going to be wrestling after this run.
[1:23:07] Right.
[1:23:08] Like, I want to just enjoy my time that I have here.
[1:23:11] Embrace absolutely everything.
[1:23:13] Just enjoy the journey.
[1:23:15] Like, that's all I care about.
[1:23:16] I do want to finally be able to be in the Royal Rumble that I got to not be apart of.
[1:23:22] Oh, yes.
[1:23:23] And do the Elimination Chambers and do, like, you know, all these stipulation matches that were not around when I was around.
[1:23:28] Yeah, we weren't allowed.
[1:23:29] Yeah.
[1:23:30] Oh, I had to be backstage in Guerrilla when the Royal Rumble just started.
[1:23:35] And no one knew I was retired by that point, you know.
[1:23:38] And so I just sat there and I was just really, I was sad.
[1:23:42] It was bit sweet.
[1:23:43] Yeah.
[1:23:44] I was happy that the girls finally got, you know, like, this big match that we didn't have before.
[1:23:48] But I was sad because I wasn't a part of it.
[1:23:50] And I didn't know if I was ever going to be a part of it again.
[1:23:52] Yeah.
[1:23:53] You know?
[1:23:54] And so to have this moment where I'm back in WWE, my neck is good.
[1:23:57] I'm wrestling again.
[1:23:58] And there is opportunities for me to be a part of these stipulation matches.
[1:24:02] I mean, man, like, I'm really excited.
[1:24:04] Good.
[1:24:05] I'm really excited for the next couple of years.
[1:24:06] That's awesome.
[1:24:07] I don't know what I'm going to get myself into, but not trouble.
[1:24:09] Well, maybe the right kind of trouble.
[1:24:11] Yeah, yeah.
[1:24:12] The good kind of trouble.
[1:24:13] I'll behave myself.
[1:24:14] I think it's impossible for you to not get into trouble.
[1:24:16] I know, I know, I know.
[1:24:17] A pain in the arse.
[1:24:18] Come on.
[1:24:19] You caused that trouble.
[1:24:20] Yeah.
[1:24:21] You are trouble.
[1:24:22] I remember, oh my gosh.
[1:24:23] I remember, do you remember when the Jackass production crew was backstage and we got to
[1:24:30] prank a bunch of people?
[1:24:31] Do you remember?
[1:24:32] Oh, I didn't see that.
[1:24:33] And I didn't realize there was a no prank list, right?
[1:24:35] Oh, no.
[1:24:36] So I had this cattle prod.
[1:24:37] Do you remember Jackie?
[1:24:38] I had this cattle prod, which doesn't feel good at all.
[1:24:42] Who was she going to say?
[1:24:44] Yeah, and I was running around and zapping everybody with this sucker, dude.
[1:24:48] I like, I...
[1:24:49] And you hadn't zapped yourself first?
[1:24:50] No, no, no, no.
[1:24:51] No.
[1:24:52] They could never get in.
[1:24:53] I was like, no, I'm good.
[1:24:54] And in the end, I didn't realize Titus was on the no zap list.
[1:24:57] Oh no, prank list.
[1:24:58] No zap.
[1:24:59] Uh oh.
[1:25:00] He lost his lid, dude.
[1:25:02] I...
[1:25:03] Wait, was this at the Hall of Fame sometime?
[1:25:06] Um, was it that weekend?
[1:25:07] No, that was.
[1:25:08] Yeah.
[1:25:13] It was like, it was a busy week.
[1:25:14] It was definitely, it might have been mania.
[1:25:15] It might have been me.
[1:25:16] For some reason, I feel like it's one of those things that shit hit the fan on because
[1:25:20] I think I remember hearing about it.
[1:25:22] Oh, it was bad.
[1:25:23] And it was like, wait, what?
[1:25:24] On top of like, you know, all the things that happen and then you have all the unexpected
[1:25:28] things that happen.
[1:25:29] Yeah.
[1:25:30] Oh.
[1:25:31] And then she had a cattle prod.
[1:25:32] Yeah.
[1:25:33] What?
[1:25:34] For some reason, they gave me the cattle prod.
[1:25:35] And I like, didn't give you the lips.
[1:25:37] A live one.
[1:25:38] Not even a gimmick cattle prod.
[1:25:39] No, it was a real cattle prod backstage.
[1:25:41] Damn.
[1:25:42] In my hands.
[1:25:43] What are they thinking?
[1:25:44] Really?
[1:25:45] Yeah, it was stupid.
[1:25:46] Like, you're giving like this 24 year old this thing.
[1:25:48] And so like, I zapped Titus and he lost his lid.
[1:25:53] He screamed and he kicked the cameras and he was like mad.
[1:25:56] He was mad.
[1:25:57] He just speaks to me for like two months, but he goes into Vince and he was like, Paige,
[1:26:01] you electrocuted me.
[1:26:02] Dad told me off.
[1:26:04] She stuck a cattle prod up my head.
[1:26:06] Yeah, exactly.
[1:26:07] Exactly.
[1:26:08] It was on his cheek, I think.
[1:26:10] It was on his cheek.
[1:26:11] And so I go into the office cause Vince calls me and he goes, can you stop electrocuting
[1:26:17] people?
[1:26:18] So I was like, yeah.
[1:26:21] I'm sorry.
[1:26:22] I can do that.
[1:26:23] He thought he was a little funny.
[1:26:24] Yeah.
[1:26:25] He had like that sense of humor.
[1:26:27] Of course he did.
[1:26:28] Yeah.
[1:26:29] He was like, come on, please stop.
[1:26:30] He's like, come on.
[1:26:31] Do it again.
[1:26:32] Lighten up.
[1:26:33] Yeah, exactly.
[1:26:34] Exactly.
[1:26:35] But stay away from Titus.
[1:26:36] Yeah.
[1:26:37] Yeah.
[1:26:38] But stay away from Titus.
[1:26:39] Titus, he's one of the nicest guys on the planet.
[1:26:40] No, he's the sweetest.
[1:26:41] I love him.
[1:26:42] Oh man.
[1:26:43] He does so much for so many people.
[1:26:44] The communities.
[1:26:45] Yes.
[1:26:46] And just charities.
[1:26:47] Like he's great.
[1:26:48] He is an amazing human being.
[1:26:49] Really is.
[1:26:50] So I really zapped a really good person.
[1:26:51] So you did, you got a good one.
[1:26:52] Yeah.
[1:26:53] And he ignored me for two months straight.
[1:26:54] No.
[1:26:55] Yeah, he did.
[1:26:56] Wow.
[1:26:57] And so eventually he came up.
[1:26:58] Yes.
[1:26:59] Oh, he was mad.
[1:27:00] He's like, I'm on that no prank list.
[1:27:01] I had no idea.
[1:27:02] Which to me makes you a target.
[1:27:04] Yeah.
[1:27:05] 100%.
[1:27:06] But also like.
[1:27:07] No prank list.
[1:27:08] They gave you the cattle prod without the list that's on them.
[1:27:11] They didn't tell me about any no prank list.
[1:27:13] They should have known not to give her.
[1:27:14] They should have never given you the cattle prod.
[1:27:15] They should have never given you the cattle prod.
[1:27:16] Who wants to be on a no prank list?
[1:27:17] Well, I mean.
[1:27:18] Come on.
[1:27:19] But right?
[1:27:20] But I think it makes you a target.
[1:27:21] It does make you a target.
[1:27:22] So these five people I can't.
[1:27:23] I'm going after them.
[1:27:24] They're like public enemy number one.
[1:27:26] 100%.
[1:27:27] Anytime I see that group, I'm going to be like, oh, I'm coming for you.
[1:27:30] Yeah.
[1:27:31] Yeah, exactly.
[1:27:32] They couldn't get me.
[1:27:33] Someone doesn't want to get pranked.
[1:27:34] Yeah.
[1:27:35] They couldn't get me for the longest time with these pranks.
[1:27:37] Every time I was like, this is a prank.
[1:27:38] This is a prank.
[1:27:39] You can't.
[1:27:40] Right.
[1:27:41] Eventually they gave me like this, the Jeff Jermaine.
[1:27:43] He was the guy who created Jackass.
[1:27:45] He eventually got me.
[1:27:46] So he was just like, he was like, Paige, come back here.
[1:27:49] I need you to do some voice service really quick.
[1:27:51] And I was like, okay.
[1:27:52] So we go into like this little pipe and drape area and he gets me to sit on this stall.
[1:27:56] And as I sat on the stall, it electrocuted me and it went, he like pressed the button and
[1:28:02] it like went from my legs all the way up into my neck.
[1:28:05] Oh my God.
[1:28:06] Really bad.
[1:28:07] And he was dying.
[1:28:09] It was so painful.
[1:28:10] Oh my God.
[1:28:11] I bet.
[1:28:12] What happens?
[1:28:13] Like do your muscles get like real stiff?
[1:28:16] Yeah.
[1:28:17] Like fully stiff.
[1:28:18] And I fell to the ground and stuff.
[1:28:19] And I was like, Oh my God.
[1:28:20] I didn't get mad.
[1:28:21] I was like, Hey, fair enough.
[1:28:22] Fair play.
[1:28:23] Like you got me.
[1:28:24] Yeah.
[1:28:25] I was un-gettable.
[1:28:26] But like the whole time they were there.
[1:28:28] Did they ever tell you that Titus actually set that up?
[1:28:31] No.
[1:28:33] Oh wait.
[1:28:34] I was like, hang on a second.
[1:28:36] Imagine.
[1:28:37] 10 years later.
[1:28:38] I'm sorry.
[1:28:39] Yeah.
[1:28:40] How is it 10 years later?
[1:28:41] You find he got his lick back.
