All right, Roy, we are back today.

We are joined by uh, someone who is preparing this
weekend to uh take over the world of wrestling.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
I believe she is.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
We're blessed to be in the presence of the new
w w E Women's Champion. I'm calling it early, Jade,
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
I appreciate that. I love the accolades called this.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
In the group chat. Yeah, she's just it is what
it is.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's just time for us to all recognize it. But
I hope that she'll come back and show us the belt.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I got you the title, the title.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
The title. We are joined by Jade Cargil.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
A storm I could out rebound you. Yeah, that's who
were with today.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
How are you feeling, Ja, I feel immaculate. How do
you guys today?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Listen? I feel good. I just don't.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
I can't believe you're here in the studio with us,
because you have to take over met Life Stadium in
about forty eight hours, so I would think that you
would be somewhere staring in the mirror listening to Rocky.
I don't know, Like, how do you prepare for this?
This is probably the biggest moment of your career.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
No, it is. It's my first. Well I'm going for
this title solo. You know what I'm saying. It's the
biggest title.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
It's a lot of pressure, but pressure makes diamonds.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
That's what I do. Huh Okay, So you're ready.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I'm ready. I'm beyond ready. That's what I do.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
No, I think I think I listen. I was telling
my boys last week. I said, Yo, I think Tiffany's
in trouble. I was like, I just I've been watching. Yeah,
I've been watching with the fellas chilling because we have,
we talked about we took out wrestling, we talked about wrestling,
and obviously Summer Slim is here this weekend. So I
was just like, yo, I just feel like Jade is
the new champion. She's going to be the new face
of women's wrestling.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Absolutely, they hate that.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
They hate it. You know what, Lebron got.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Hate us, everybody got it.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Look at him, Look at this guy hit How could
you at that face? So what's what's the strategy going
into Saturday?

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Just going out there and dominating the ring like I
normally do, showing people exactly who I am and why
I'm gonna be in the position that I am after
I raise that title when I wear just going out
there and muscling doing what I do best.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
What are you listening to?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Like on the way to the stadium, what you what's
playing in the locker room?

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Like?

Speaker 2 (02:24):
How do you? How are you preparing yourself?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
I listened to Meg thee Stallion, I listened to Glorilla,
I listened to Nikki, I listened to I listen to
a lot of women, just empowering women. I go out
there and they don't take no ship like they're out
there like you know why I'm gonna do this. I'm
gonna do that. It doesn't matter what you think about me.
And that's what I like listened to before I got there.
But now I'm having to like mellow out just a
little bit so I don't break no one's neck.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
I thought that was the point, though, you got to
break somebody's neck. What Glorilla record get you in the mold?
To break somebody's neck?

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, glow, But I don't know where should get that lyric,
but it's so creative.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, I want to.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I want to know for you because your your your
years in wrestling, You've you've been through a lot of changes,
But for this moment now and starting wrestling, did you
envision this moment? This, this this moment where I am
getting ready to become the champion?

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
How does it?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Does it feel like everything you've thought about gearing up
to it? Like mentally, physically, like is it is it
everything you thought it would be?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Or is it?

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Like?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Whoa? This? This is a this is heavier than I
thought it would be.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's kind of two separate answers I can give you
because we have so many pls, back to back to
back pay per view. Okay, it's our version of saying people,
it just comes so quick, Like in two weeks we
have Bash in Paris. You really don't have a lot
of time to sit in it because you're off to
the next thing. Yeah, so it came so quick, so

(03:59):
I don't. It's more like, whoa, it's already here. This
moment's already here. The other side is I always knew
I was going to be here, because I feel like
before you have something, you should envision it.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm going to be a Hall of Famer, whether people
like it or not. That's what I'm gonna do. That's
what I'm going to accomplish. That's what I came here
to do. I would never enter would have never entered
this spot if I thought any less. Yeah, so, yeah,
I know I was going to be here. That's the
two separate questions for you.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
No listen answers. I respect that, and I think that.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
You know, most champions and people that obviously are high
level athletes feel like that and think that, But it
is a different thing to be forty eight hours away
from it being in front of you like that. What
is it like, because you know, I know, obviously you're prepared,
you're in shape, but you're still human, You're still it's
just the nerves just like, is it like I will,

(04:50):
let's hurry up and get to it, or is it
like you know, you got to kind of like pace yourself, like.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Let's hurt up and get to it.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Okay, I like to get ready to just kick yours.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
I'm ready to get it over. Like the anticipation and
people talking about it is what makes you sit back like, Okay,
we got forty eight hours and now I gotta wait forty
eight hours, here we go. Instead of me just getting
right to it, I'd rather just get right to it
and then we can talk about it off.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
And now have you and Tiffany been talking shit online
like tweeting? I haven't been paying attention to the post,
like have y'all been throwing at each other?

Speaker 1 (05:20):
No? Not really, no really, we really we're both babyfaces.
So we're out there just trying to be great, go
out there and represent the little girls out there. It's
not like Naomi who is trying to rip me apart
on social media. It's really mild compared to it.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, and that was kind of crazy Naomi thing.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Man and I don't even get on Twitter like that,
but I had to check my Twitter. I checked my
Twitter weekly three times, three times a week because Twitter
is here, there a lot of opinions whatever whatever. With Naomi,
I had to check my Twitter three times a day
because she was at it, I mean, adamant with everyone everyone.
I'm like, oh my gosh, girl, Like, do you not
look at your Twitter, like turn off your notifications whatever

(05:57):
you call it. But this girl is doing too much,
way too much attacking, front, back, up, down, everything. It
was a lot.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
So do you take energy like that, Like, say, somebody's
talking crazy on the timeline and you got a crazy,
big fight coming up. Do you store that and be like,
all right, I'm fucking somebody all.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
The time, all the time, my feet off hate I
love it, I love it. I eat it like I
love that type of stuff. I'll save it and I
reposted a says this, Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
You taking your phone to the ring.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Remember this too, Remember that ship?

Speaker 3 (06:28):
You said?

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, say this when I when I win this type
you said, got it?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
So, now, growing up, were you always a fan of wrestling,
Like who were some of the women that you watched
and you were just inspired because you were always an athlete.
You play basketball. Wrestling is obviously totally different.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I mean, Florida, you have to wrestle, I feel like
everything ye like.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah, yeah, you might have to wrestle every day, living
floor off the plane and for a you just put
in the headlined are you from no but is here?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Listen to go visit my dad? I'd be like, do
I have to? It's crazy? And every day county terrifying?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Slowing down through too much?

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Now, So now, was you always just a fan of
wrestling or was this something that as you, you know,
getting older and being an athlete, you were like, you know,
I want to try that I.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Grew up watching wrestling like everybody else did. I admire
China Jazz, love them. Growing up, I didn't see women.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
You don't know about me young though you ain't.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Everybody knows about Maid when gotten wasn't listen. I think
she was like in her sixties.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Maybe when she took that might have been thirty. Listen.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
She's a legend. Everybody knows her.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Everybody knows like she's.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
But everybody watched wrestling growing up. I used to have
to fight boys because they didn't want to wrestle with me.
Like I used to run down the street, but say.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
But bearing, I'm glad that's what I thought.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
I want to say barefoot because that's a different type
of No.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Don't make anything out of that. Really bad there. But
I used to get skin knees and elbows and bloody
nose because I legit had to fight because they were like, oh,
I don't want to rest with you because you're a girl.
I'm like, okay, bet so you start to fight all
the time. But then I got involved in sports, and
that's when I got away from the wrestling. Do you
have siblings, I do have four? Is it like in
the middle, No, it's four girls, one boy, and I

(08:32):
ran with my brothers. Yes, but I read with the
boys like I was the one.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Where's your brother he's the oldest young No.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
We're seven months apart, same mom, same dad. I was born. Yeah,
and then my mom right away didn't take that grace period,
pregnant right away, had twins. They come early, so that
we're all the same age for seven months.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
So when you started playing ball, what's the quickest you
ever fouled out?

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Oh my goshious after wrestling.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I think the I think it was like the third
quarter when I call you was out there hacking ship.
But but but third quarter, but the whole second quarter
you're kind of like flip floppy at that point, like
for example, someone can you could be outside the line
and you can take a block or whatever, and you know,
like it's a foul now, regardless if you just made

(09:24):
a bucket or whatever like that, You're going for a
lip like it was a ship.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
You let your team rebounding.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, I did. It was aggression that I had to
be because they moved me to to the post my
senior year and I'm five ten. These girls are like
six two six three, I gotta do something.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
You know how crazy it is now for those girls
who played basketball against to me looking at you and
be like, yo, I had to box out the world
wrestling champion.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm pretty sure they have some.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
My coach yelled at me because I couldn't get a rebound.
She's or the boys that was on her block that
are now. It was terrible.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Like if I was a coach and I had me
as a player, I would have cut myself from the team.
I was cocky. I thought I knew it all. I
was a trash talker. But that's how I like had it.
Like I was like, what you're gonna do with you?
I was very you was just preparing for I said,
But I was. I was rude, I was ruthless, but
that's what I needed. I had that mamba thing going on,

(10:18):
like I just felt like I had to have something
in my head like that's just what it was. And
you tell me, like, okay, talk, Bridley, would you talk?
It's over? I got you now.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Obviously, aesthetically, a lot of people align you with Storm
the Marvel character. Was that intentional? Was that kind of
like what you were going for? And have you ever
had a chance to have a conversation with Halle Berry.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I just got that question, did you know I did it? Yes,
but I would love to She's astounding, had a hell
of a career charisma off the charts. I would love
to sit down and have a talk to per how
she embodied that role. But no, it was not something
that I was. I seen it. I loved it. My
girlfriend said, hey, you're about dying your hair this color. Sorry,

(11:01):
let's try it out. I tried it. I liked it. It
was different and in the wrestling world, because I just
started wrestling, you want to be different, and I was like,
I don't see anybody with this color hair. Let's try
it out. We loved it. And I love Storm, so
I was just like, okay, like I will always dress
up do cosplay with Storm. But I always had like
the synthetic type wig, and so what it came about
is just something that clicked. It just clicked and from there.

(11:24):
But I love Marvel like I'm a huge Marble fan.
I'm a huge Storm fan. I feel like in the ring,
I control the weather. I get people to stand up,
I get him to sit down, I get him to boom.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Met the shit you're gonna be casting.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
You're gonna be You're gonna do You're gonna be casting
in a Marvel movie soon.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
As his homework another one of my catchphraks here like it's.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
That's just this is this is what it is. I
appreciate the pure poetry. I control the weather.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
I was like, yeah, yeah, but I do see.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
That, like it makes perfect sense for them to cast
you as the new storm, and yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Let's see how it goes.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
This is all part of it.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
This is this is no Marvel is tricky, but I
just think that where you are and where you are
aligning yourself, it just those type of.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Things just are a no brainer. It makes sense.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Now.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
I don't know what now, I don't know what you
how nervous you are. There's some acting in what you do.
You have to kind of have, you have to have
a lot of personality. There's a guideline. So movies, I'm
guessing is along that. But I can definitely see Marvel like, yo,
you know what, she's the champion.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Let's just do it.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
It makes sense, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I would love it. I would love it.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
You hear that, Yeah, that makes sense. They're watching marvel
in their like returning the listener.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Everything, listen, let's make this money. That James Cameron's looking
right through that lens fast for sure, you feel it.
I was nervous in this interview because I'm a novice
wrestling fan and wrestling fans are the meanest people on
the internet.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
And he said it's faked. He said it's fake. I
would put him in a Boston cra.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Art. It's an art. Yes, wrestling is an.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Art documentary that out now an art. I think it's
an art.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
It's not all this like I have. I am so
bruised up, it's crazy. It's not fake at all. All
everything we do hurts. Every time you take a bump
of hers. We build up calluses, but it hurts if
you go if I go two weeks without taking a bump,
it hurts. It's like brand new hitting those ropes. Everybody
thinks his rubber bands and a trampoline those that's plywood

(13:30):
on top of a thin under a thin matt Like
all that stuff hurts. You're fighting gravity. You have someone
jumping on you. There's no strings. Like, it's not fake
now is it predetermined? But maybe? But some people go
out there and they literally don't know who's winning until
the end. That's how it works. Some people don't have

(13:51):
the match planned out. Some people like John Cena can
go out there and just he's a pro. This is
what he does. It's not as easy as people think
it is. There's so many levels and that's where unscripted
comes in.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
And this is why wrestling fans are extremely mean because
I never said wrestling was fake.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
I think you have a tremendous athlete.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
I said one time on one podcast that like I
didn't keep up with wrestling as much as other people,
and I was destroyed for I think.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
If I refreshed my mentionum man, now they're still killing me.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
So I wanted to ask, what is the most interesting
meet and greet experience you've ever had?

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Who tried it? Jade who got knocked out at meet
and greet?

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I think when I was doing the whole step on
me thing, there was a lot of men that legit
wanted me to like punch him and step on them,
and like when God wanted me to spit on him.
It was kind of like it was.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
It was the opposite of.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
And I felt and more uncomfortable, like it all started
because this one girl wanted me to like choke her,
and I was like, all right, cool, like we can
get the photo op.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Everybody got ideas, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
But that's when I was doing the step on me thing,
but not like legit stepping on people. It just was
a thing I was saying. And so there were signs
and things of that sort. And I had the batty section.
But this guy wanted me to spit on him the
grade I'm stump on him and I had on heels
and I was just like, this is the weird that's
the weirdest thing I had to deal with.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
And I was to get He was sitting in was
eye in the sky on him for like he was
just like, oh, he wanted you to.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Spit like no. Then then he was like okay, and
then I was all right, I'll put my heill on you.
And I put my heel on I'm like, okay, this
is funny. He was like just spit on me like quick, quick,
like loud, and I was like hurdy, like this is.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Not this is not somebody wants you to spit.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
You'll be shocked. I was like, please get him. I
was so I had to take like a minute, because
it was such like a weird feeling and vibe because
even when he got up, he was like just grabbing
my leg to like climb up. It was odd.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
What is the what is the one thing that you
were totally surprised about when you got into wrestling, Like,
aside from it physically, the physical toll, what was the
one thing that you were like, Oh, okay, this is
way more than I anticipated.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
The travel. Okay, the travel is insane. If we could
teleport and just be somewhere, it'll be easier. But we're
home maybe two three days out the week if we
get lucky. When I was a tag champ, I was
working all three shows and that was demanding. I'm a mom,
you know, I feel like you go home to gather yourself,

(16:32):
and I didn't have that time. Like our hotel At
this point, the hotel is our house. That's what it is.
You live out of your suitcase.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
So the family comes with you the road.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Now depending in the summertime, yes, but throughout the school
year no. Nobody's trying to go to jail. But it's demanding,
and we share our lives with the universe, the WWE universe,
and it's so much. It's only so much that you
can hide. And the fans. I wasn't anticipating the fans
because because I've dealt with MLB fans, I've dealt with

(17:03):
UH football fans. Wrestling fans are a whole nother.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Say, that's why I'm not going to someone.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
It's just a whole other world. And you gotta you
have to have thick skin because they will hit low. Yeah,
like they will hit super low. No, I wasn't. I
could say that was like a Okay, I played basketball.
I'm used to people talking ship.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, this is this is a whole.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
The w W A crazy and if I say something,
I'm I'm wrong either way.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
WHOA.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
So that part was kind of like a step back thing.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Now, what's the what's the the temperature with you and Bianca?

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Like what's going on there?

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Like why you have to ask this question?

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Because I just want, like, you know, like is it
you know, are y'all cool?

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Is everything?

Speaker 3 (17:44):
You know? I'm just trying to I told you I'm watching.
I pay attention because I want to know. I mean,
at one point it was like I want to know. Yeah,
so I'm one of everybody.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
This was like when Desne's job broke up. We want
to know. We want to love that. We want to
know what's going on? Is it love? Is it peace?
Is it war? Is it lit? Is it on when you?
Is it on site?

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Move to the next question.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
You can't even talk back to would you even know?
I just I just wanted to know. I just wanted
to don't know why?

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Either, I want to like, why would you even I
want to know?

Speaker 1 (18:17):
These we went through a lot. We went through a lot.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
It's just okayh talk to us now, k fab.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
How do you feel about it?

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I am a natural born bad guy, Okay, I because
I am confident. I don't need the sport, love it
to death, don't need it. I know who I am.
I walk in the room and I'm like, I can
give a damn about you. You you you perceive the

(18:57):
wrong way? Yes, and I have arrested bitch face same.
And people don't like confident people. People don't like women.
I think the world doesn't like if someone's like, oh
you look good, I'm like, thank you, and somebody turn
who does she think she is?

Speaker 2 (19:16):
But what else was she supposed to say? Think?

Speaker 1 (19:18):
I don't know. That's just how the world, it's weird.
You can't. They want you to the world wants you
to be confident and to know yourself, but it doesn't.
You can know yourself, but not don't.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Go overboard, but don't make me feel uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, right, so I would say that like they don't.
It's that you preferred that way though, being a hell yeah, yes,
it's an extension of myself. I'm cool, I'm chill. I'm cool, chill, calm, relax.
I don't get out of myself until it's time. I

(19:53):
think everybody has two sides, Like you're chill. If somebody
try it, you'll turn up. Anybody will.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
That's a human thing. Yes, but when you're strong, athletic,
a wrestler.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
But I'm just chill. But my heel characters turned to
one thousand power. That's it. It's just an extension of
who I am now being a babyface. I'm not a
smile like me I dance type of person. I'm just not.
I'm a stoic person. I walk out. I'm very you know,
I'm not. Let's go cheer from me. My voice gets hoarse.

(20:26):
My voice is very low right now, I have high levels.
But when I'm upset. My voice gets very low, like
that's just how it is. And I think being a
baby face you have to care. And as a heel
I'm like, I don't damn you like me? You don't care?
I know I like myself, you like you? And what
I eat should make you shit Like that's how I

(20:48):
walk in a room and babyface and.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
That can be intimidating for some people.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Oh it is people's insecurities obviously are it is it is.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
And it's just being a heelge. It just me like
I'm cocky. I talk my stuff, but now being on stage,
just turn it up to the max.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
When you say you don't you don't need this, you
can see how you know some wrestling fans and me,
they may take that the wrong way. I wish what
does she mean she don't need this? Does that mean
she doesn't love it? Doesn't mean she doesn't she isn't
passionate about it?

Speaker 1 (21:20):
No, no, no, no, no no, I'm beyond passionate about it.
The difference is is I, before this, I was a
child psychologist. Well, I'm married to someone who played baseball
for seventeen years. He wants me to stay home and
live the retirement life with him. We own a professional
softball team. I can do that. So I'm here strictly

(21:42):
out of love.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
So it's a difference for someone having to stay in
something because this is how they provide for their family. Yeah,
and I commend people that do that. I'm here. I
take all the bruises, and I take all the slack
and all the talk and all that because I genuinely
want to be here. I can quick tomorrow and be like,
I would never do that, but I can, literally if
you want to. I don't. I wouldn't never do that

(22:08):
because I genuinely love it. Like and I said what
I'm what I was gonna do, and I'm going to
do it like it is what it is. I'm gonna
be a legend. I already dreamt it. It's already in
the universe. Hate it, I love it. In ten years
or whatever it is that I become. People going to
sit back and say, oh, wow, she was really great.
I'm like, I know, but it's not because of oh like,

(22:28):
It's not like that at all. It's just because I
genuinely love this sport and I want to do it.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
You said that you obviously dealt with the MLB world.
How has your husband been dealing with the wrestling world.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
At first, he didn't want me to do it at all,
like at all. It was just like even my mom
was like, why do you want to do that? You
want to hurt yourself? Go model, go do something.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Mom don't understand, like.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Why would you want to you gotta hurt yourself. I'm like,
don't put that energy out there. I'm not going to
hurt myself. There's something else you could do. Why do
you want to do that? My mom didn't understand. He
was more so like for what, Like you know, I
met him when I was twenty two. I wanted to
be a child psychologist. I did that. He was just like.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Why Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
So then I went to the trot and it all went great,
and then he was like, oh, this is about to
get real. I said, yeah, it's about to get real.
This is what I'm going to do. But he didn't
want me to do it at all. And now he's
seen how much work that I've put in. He's proud
of me. He's like, oh my, oh my gosh, I'm
so happy you stuck with it. Like I would have never.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Thought you look at the change in emotion, Yoka doing
what and then once wife, are you about to become
CHAMPI You're like, listen.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm proud you know, to mess up your body. I
want you to retire with me like what are you doing?
And I'm like, I think what you did was great,
But I want to do something for myself, like I
think I can do this. I can do the child
psychology when I'm done with this, if I ever choose to.

(24:03):
But I want to create something that's legendary for our daughter,
Like I want my daughter to say, oh, my dad
did this, but I want her to say, but my mom,
my mom did this, And that's inspiring to me. So
he has his career. It's different now because he's like
to stay at home dad, and now I'm the one
always gone. So it's a literally upside down world now.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
With you again speaking speaking it into existence, with you
being champion? What does what do you hope that does
for the little black girls in Florida, New York, California,
Just as far as like representing something for them to

(24:46):
look forward to, say, like she represents greatness, she represents strength.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Storm is in the studio, I bring the storm. It
was literally storming. But what do you what do you?

Speaker 3 (24:57):
What do you think about or do you think about
those little girls that at home looking at Jade this weekend?

Speaker 1 (25:03):
I do. And it's such a fine line with me
because I'm not for kids, like being very real, I'm
not for kids. I'm sexy, I curse, I'm grown. I'm not.
I'm just not. But I do love to hear that
I am an inspiration for little girls who see me.

(25:24):
They're like, oh, I love how you look. Your confidence
radiates all this kind of stuff like I want to
be like you. I love it. Never I never wanted it. Yeah,
but I love inspiring little girls that you can do
any and everything you put your mind to. I started
this at twenty seven and for a lot of people
that can be late, but I was like, you know what,
I'm gonna give this a shot. I'm gonna give them all.
Let's see who we are with where I am now.

(25:46):
And we had somebody like Jazz and Jacqueline who did
these phenomenal things for me and Byonka and Naomi. It's
great that people see us like these little girls see
us and they know like I can do that, but yeah,
I can do it better. Because that's what we want

(26:07):
them to say, just as much as jazz. We looked
at jazz, we looked at Jacquelin. We're like, I want
to do that, but I can do better. I can
reach there, and now they can reach there and the
next generation can reach there. That's all we want to do,
create bigger footprints for the next generation.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Now you have a daughter I do.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Would you be happy if she told you, mom, I
want to wrestle as a parent? Right that face? Like
how does that you know? Because now you're your mom
now right? Like do you say okay and just kind
of like cringe on the inside, but still like obviously
you want her to do what she wants to do
and succeed.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
She's getting a great education first, okay, something she could
fall back on, a trade something first, right, and then
if she wants to pursue wrestling, go at it. I'm
a very supportive mom. I'm like, go at it. I'll
tell her if she's not good or whatever you want
to call it, like, okay, well, let's use that trade.
But as long as she gets a phenomenal education, something

(27:04):
that steady that she can always go back to, I'm
okay with it. I'm okay with it.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Oh, I think the way Bron did it with his son,
I think you might have to do that mother daughter
in the league at the same time.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Listen, it would be nothing.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
I'm okay.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
That would be the crazy. You can hold that idea
if you have that one she started like seventeen. Yeah, yeah,
get right to it. Man.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
It's called a bump card, and it goes up and
your body she feel you're twenty two, you'll feel like
you're like thirty five. Yeah, it's crazy. It feels really quick.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
So you obviously I feel like this weekend again, Jade
will be champion Rory. She already said that she will
bring the title back. Yes, now, Jade, if Rory and
myself wanted to get into wrestling, like what would we
have to you know, like you.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Have somebody back there, It's like no, because you.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Know baby just you know, she don't mean, she doesn't
even our abilities and she don't think that we could
do it. But if me and she gives Bianca, I'll
say that, yeah, like she's definitely. But like if me
and Roy wanted to be tag team champion, well yeah,
pause that like do we have how do we prepare ourselves,
like how do we you know, like, what is our
first order of.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Business going to the PC?

Speaker 2 (28:19):
What is the PC?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
It's down Orlando. It's a training facility.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
So we have to train, so that about a month
we have to train.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Like I'm thinking we could go we can pull up
Sunday with Jay bro Like we can go Sunday and
kick some asks.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Sure signed some liability for.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Him in case you died? Yeah, what case you die?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Like, oh you die? Yeah, yeah, okay, yes, it's a
lot of things you okay, okay, yes, but train, like
getting your mind ready. It's not that easy. It's really not.
All these celebrities that come into they are all training.
It's not just walking into the system. I don't know
what the internet paints.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
But they just training like two, three, four months.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
And initially right, oh you guys, yeah no.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
We would need four decade, maybe would need five years.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
I know. So when I work with Daniel Bryant, he
was telling me like, you don't get comfortable until like
seven years, Like he didn't get comfortable until seven years.
And I'm four years and a little bit of change
into the game and my first match ever was on
national TV. So it's such a weird thing because most
people before they get on TV, they've had a plethora
of matches. I didn't like the world see me as

(29:28):
raw as you can get someone, So it would take
a while. It would take a while. But it depends
on like how athletic you guys are, like, it depends
on how you got that.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
It factor, the tobo still clicking, I could still need
that shooting.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah. Other than that, I can't do that. At one
point I was but I have a two year old.
I got dad. Wait, I need I need decade. I
need a decade for sure. A decade. Absolutely At this point,
at least I chased her.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Cardio is great because I chase a two year OLDLD
but windows up, I'd very much be easily super plexed.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
You'll just put it that.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Way, okay, you'll you'll take the suplex not give it.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
That the wrestle fans don kill me on the YouTube comments.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
But with that said, I wasn't even thinking training. I
was more thinking, if we come up with a good name,
is that even worth going to Orlando? If we don't
have the brand together already, why.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Would I even train?

Speaker 1 (30:25):
That comes second?

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Oh so branding comes after training.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah, okay, that's how you do at the PC. You
can come up with stuff, but on the side they
can have you on the side. But it's it's your
ring of ability as well as.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
I'm coming to that full costume, you know, like the
guy that shows up to the court with.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
All that has been What are you going to do?

Speaker 1 (30:46):
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Get supplexed?

Speaker 1 (30:49):
I like whatever, unless as your character to get suplex
to just come out suplex.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
I mean, I know the jumps through that shit hurt
too much. Man, I don't supplex me.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
You being the kool aid man jumping through I would
just being a rag doll wrestling.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
If you give me the right check, I would do
it crisis and I'm fine with it. Yeah, you're paid a.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Lot of money. You're paid a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Do you roll me into the second? Throw me on
the west side? Gun Jay?

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Do you use any of your I guess your psychology.
Do you use that in your matches at all? Like
does that brain clicking during your matches?

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Just controlling the match, like just trying to stay calm
throughout the match, taking my techniques and breathing and things
of that sort. Because when I was a child psychologist.
I would have to breathe with my kids because they
would get so worked up in situations. And sometimes you
have to think like a kid, and you have to
because where you're doing something, it's like, you know, your
jittery like and anxiety and you're you have to calm down.

(31:51):
So I'll use breathing techniques. But for the most part, no,
unless it's a kid out there, but all of us
are adults. Like I'm gonna talk to you like an adult,
I guess.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Or that ship way to ship talk, well, I'm just
good at that. That's a degree for you.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, yeah, but that's that's something totally different. I was
gentle with people. I talked ship. It's a it's a
different I can I can mine and message you mentally,
but it's a whole different type of game, whole different
type of game.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Can we make your playlist to listen to on the
way to the event, Like, can we put together you
already told us who you like to listen to.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Can we come up like Rory and I come up
with a whole.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Song that you right now off the head?

Speaker 4 (32:32):
I mean, I would say just walk out with Knukie Buck,
just like this, if you get back.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
To two thousand and five, guys, I love Nugget today.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
I see I see your Jamaica nails. How can we
get Vibes Cartel to walk out with you.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I don't know that would be but I feel like, listen,
I would love that, especially for my country.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
H I don't think the start tripping. If you see
you losing, he might start tripping. All those charges were alleged.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Base would sit and be like, who is this guy?
And that would like just to me, that would be cool.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Like I think that's what's cool with bringing that culture
into wrestling, Like that makes you so unique of I've
even seen like what like West Side Gun and A
and Wile and everyone have done with hip hop.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
And wrestling, like where dance Hall can't do the same.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
It gets weird. It's weird. It's a very like wrestling.
Wrestling fans are very hard. I wouldn't say they're hard
to please, but they like their community. First of all,
he said, spit on me, step on my Yeah, they're
hard to please.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
They're they're step on my face. That's a hard person
to please. They're not after him. How do you follow that?
I photo like his two people down.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
I was like, are you watching this? You know, like
I've actually grabbed me though, so it's like it's the
dad probably like yeah, go up there and like grabber.
I've had a little boy grabbed me befo for which
I'm like lucky.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
When you got your child psychologists back to talk to
the dam, I was like, you're raising a demon?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
What the fuck is wrong?

Speaker 1 (34:09):
She looked like yeah, he waited for that.
