(00:23):
shaving and you were listening to theOne's Only Baby Fake. Hello Friday Night
SmackDown is making its way to thebill next week. It's going down August
only fifth at the Young Center,of course, and we are welcoming on

(00:44):
today one of SmackDown's rising stars.His name is Grayson Waller. Grayson,
thanks so much for taking the timetoday. Man, hey speaking of you
here, I am Grayson one.This I've just like improved a good looking
nature of this show by about ahundred Welcome. You're welcome, right,
yeah, I mean I can't arguethat. I can't argue it. You
can see it. The facts areright here on the screen. Well,

(01:07):
what a what a mix of actuallyfor our viewing audience of what a mix
of shirts. I have a wrestlingshirt on, Billy has a hoodie on,
and then we got this eclectic leopardprint from Grayson Waller. Right now,
you've you this is this is what'sreally going on right now? So
what are you saying? He isone of us decided to turn up as
a professional, actually put some buttonson his shirt and turn off for work.

(01:29):
One of you like a fan.I don't know what you're doing interviewing
me wearing a bloodline shirt. Obviouslyone of the fans off the street.
You should be buying the tickets forthe Kentucky show. You should be talking
to me. And as to thehoodie, I can't you know, I
don't mind the hoodie. Actually,you look very comfortable, like you're about
to go to bed. So like, I'm glad I got up put it
on some effort for you boys,and you've done nothing in return. But
that's okay. I'll be put on. Listen, I work from home.

(01:51):
I am I'm slumming it at alltimes. And I had to support.
I'm a high school football coach,got to support the team right here.
So oh, man, i'd say, my suck if you're a coach.
Those poor lads. Man, Iknow it. Hey, first game this
Friday, we'll see it. We'llsee how we do. I hope you
don't get beat by about fifty mate. Yeah, me too, me too.
But also this Friday, we gotSmackDown, of course, as is

(02:14):
every Friday, and I just sawon Twitter the Grayson Waller Effects will be
on on Friday Night SmackDown with thenew US Champion, Raymisteria. We just
had on the former US champion AustinTheory last week, obviously losing that title
a couple of days later, andnow got raymis Theoria with the belt.
So what can we expect from theGrayson Waller Effect this Friday. We know

(02:34):
every I'm celebrating Ray Mosteria winning theUnited States Championship, like this legend,
you know, having another run withthe United States Championship. But I'm the
only one who's talking about honestly,Like Austin Theory wasn't scheduled to wrestle Ray
Mysteria. I don't think that wasfair. I don't know how the match
got made. I don't know whatAdam Peace is doing backstage where Ray Mosterio
can just run in and start attackingAustin Theory and win the championship. I

(02:55):
cause shenanigans. Never mind the factthat isn't Santos supposed to have that match,
And that's raised guy like raised likehelping Santos to become the next Luca
legend, and Ray takes his opportunity, takes his United States championship. I
don't know, I just have somequestions. I'm sure you guys is like
mediocre journalists, you would have somesimilar questions for Ray too, right,

(03:16):
absolutely, it's it just sounds likeyou're just trying to get to the bottom
of everything. And we were,we are and you know, we like
Austin theory, we thought it wasabsolutely brutal how they did him the other
night. It's he's he's been actuallytargeted by the Mysterios and Santos the most.
So for I think you have ayou have a we have a good
point. I don't know where hejust kind of gets off coming out of

(03:38):
nowhere, but you do for atthe end of the day, you're still
gonna be in the ring with RayMysterio. You just had a running with
the Edge a couple of weeks ago. This is gonna be Edges supposedly last
SmackDown. You're gonna you're gonna haveany final words for Edge. I know
he had some good words for youa couple of weeks ago. You know,
if if I was ten years old. This would be a very exciting

(04:00):
night for young Grayson Waller getting inthere with Ray Mysteria of all people.
But I ain't ten years old andnine am a fan no more that,
so the only excitement I have isactually going and telling Ray Misterira what I
really think about him. But asfor Edge, you know from what I've
heard, you know he had thatmatch with me, he got very very
lucky, called me off. Guardonly had ten minutes, and then all
of a sudden, he's talking aboutretirement. This might be his last night,

(04:23):
of course, because he saw what'scoming next. He saw what Grace
Moore a sixty percent has. He'sterrified at Grace Waller at one hundred percent.
So he said, you know what, I'm finding the first bloke I
see backstage, I'm challenging him toa match, and I'm getting out of
here before Grayson comes to find me. Well, hey, let's go back
to that that ten year old self, Grayson Waller thinking things are still cool.
I know, I know you're alittle too cool for school nowadays,

(04:45):
but you've had a lot of legendson the Grays and Waller effects right up
to this point. As a newsthe biggest legend in w superstar of all
time. Logan Paul was on theshow. Yeah continue sorry, yeah,
yeah, oh good. What wouldbe like your dream guest to on the
Grayson Waller effect? If we couldgo there? You know, I've ticked
a lot off Shawn Michaels. We'vehad edge on the show. As I

(05:08):
said Logan Paul, there's been somebig names, but the dream guest hands
down Tris Stratus. I've set itbefore and tri Tris noticed that I said
it. I'm going to keep pushingit until I get it to happen.
You know, you want to talkabout a w E legend. I think
Trish on the show will be fantasticbecause Grayson Waller is a women's wrestling advocate.
You look at the Grayson Waller effect. You've got Bailey, You've got

(05:30):
Eo, You've had Charlotte, Cora, Jane, Roxane Perez, like Grayson
Waller is for the women, andwhy not have the Queen of women has
solved, Chris Stradus. That's whatI want on my show. So so
I guess you're you're over the rock, then right, we don't. We
don't have to. We don't haveto worry about the Rock trying to you
tried calling them out, you trieddoing the moves in front of the tribal
chief. We were passing up onthe right. Because my question is,

(05:56):
and Billy, Billy knows this.I've been I've been on for the Rock,
trying to come back and see,let's see what he can do.
But the man won't even come backfor his manipulated power of hungry cousin and
his broken family. Right now,what do you think would would make him
come back for grace and wallat?You know, I was over the Rock
three seconds after he tweeted me withsome mediocre response, But I was trying
to help him out. I wentout of my way to go there and

(06:18):
try and make the Rock relevant inWW again, because obviously he's a huge
global superstar. Everyone knows the Rock. He's probably the most well known professional
wrestler of all time. But whenit comes to WWE, it's all about
what have you done for me lately? He ain't done nothing for anyone lately.
So I was trying to give hima path to come back in,
you know, maybe easy him inbefore you know Roman and the bloodline,
there's all these things going on,but I don't think he was about that.

(06:41):
I think, you know, theRock, he's at a stage in
his life where he knows if hegets back in the ring, like all
these young hungry guys, we're notgoing to sit down and you show him
the respect. We want to fight, and I don't think The Rock wanted
to fight me, so I've movedon. I gave him his opportunity.
He's your chance for the Grays andWaller Rabbi didn't take it, So I'm
going to give that opportunity to someoneelse. We're taking the Grayson Waller rub

(07:02):
instead of the Rock, and weappreciate that exactly. And usually people have
to pay for that, lad,So I'm being very nice today. You
hear that, Billy? Yep?Yeah, Hey, we're making making money
just by not having to pay rightthere. Hey, speaking of being a
women's wrestling advocate. About this timelast year, we had Ria Ripley on
the show and we asked her aboutI didn't know what this was. Austin

(07:24):
brought it up. We asked herwhat her thoughts on vegemite were. Yeah,
and I want to pose the samequestion to you. There's still a
new thing to me. I didn'tknow what it was at the time.
She was hyping it up. SoGrayson Waller's thoughts on vegemite. I love
vegam My mom sends me like ajar every few months to make sure I'm
stocked. But the problem is,like Americans aren't very smart, right,
so they hear veggiemite and all thevideos on YouTube or when celebrities come to

(07:47):
Australia, they all they eat itwith a spoon out of the jar,
and of course it's going to beterrible. It's a spread supposed to be
an accompaniment to you know, likebread or a sandwich or toast, so
you have the do it's like doinga spoonful of ketchup or a spoonful of
mayonnaise. Like that's not how it'ssupposed to be eaten, like peanut butter
sometimes, bro I can tell youthat about seven spoons this morning, lad.

(08:11):
But it's supposed to be just likean accompaniment, just a little bit,
and that's a treat. So ifyou have it properly, it's a
great treat, you know. Likewhat America like donuts for breakfast. That
bobbles my mind when I see peopleeating donuts from like donuts a retreat.
You have that once in a while, mate, and you've got people going
having them for breakfast. Like,what are you guys doing? Local food?

(08:33):
Have you ever heard of Skyline chili? By chance? Please tell me?
Tell me about this. I'm aboutculturally eating, cultural exchange. I
need to know. All right,Well, it's technically like a Cincinnati thing,
but because Louisville and it's proximity toCincinnati, it's down here as well.
It's just a special type of chili. It's not that like thick with
beans and all that. It's justit's really sweets. You put it over

(08:56):
noodles, you throw some cheese ontop of it. So I'm just saying,
when you're in the Ville, checkoutline Chili Chili done. I've written
that down because now that I'm allover the country, my aim is always
whatever state, whatever city, Imean, I need to find out what
they're eating and I can go enjoythat for the day. So now I'll
vote for Louisville Skyline Chili and thenif it's terrible, I'm coming back here.

(09:18):
I'm not going to be a nasas i've been today. Okay,
well I'll let I'll let Billy dealwith the ramification of Skyline Chili and given
you that. I like Skyline Chilitoo, but it is it. It's
very precise. Some people don't likethe noodles and that whole gimmick in it,
which I completely understand. Louisville isactually home of the greatest cashist,
Clay Muhammed Ali. His name isimmortalized all over town. We are home

(09:41):
to the Muhammad Ali Center. Whatkind of and I know that you know
what your character is. I've seenan interviews in the past that you kind
of like that boxing, MMA shoottype of style. Uh, what do
you think that goes into that withbeing your on screen character in your background
with doing that kind of stuff.For me personally, I always look at

(10:01):
like the showtime type of boxes whereit's not just about being a good fighter,
it's about the entertainment when they're inthe fight. So someone like Mhammad
Ali, who he obviously went outthere and he was an incredible boxer,
but he also put on a show. People paid because they wanted to watch
him box, and whether he wontor whether he lost, he was going
to put on a show. Andlike his kind of energy and his mindset

(10:22):
something that I really look up to. And I've spoken before about fit Finley
in the in the PC, aabsolute legend of wrestling, was one of
my coaches, and he gave mesome advice earlier in the year about how
he wants me to be like MuhammadAli when I'm in the ring, in
the sense that when Muhammad was inthere, he thought he was the greatest.
In his head, he was thegreatest, even if he was taking
on someone who was better than himtechnically or anything like that. He went

(10:45):
in knowing in his head, Iam the best in this entire place.
And that's the kind of mindset Igo in, Like if I'm in there
with Edge or Ravens Stereo or theselegends, we have done so much.
I know how talented they are.I'm not discounting them at all. These
guys are a hall of famous.But if I go in with the hall
of fame and mindset, they're gonnarun over me. So when I go
in there, I try and takethat Ali mindset where it doesn't matter who's
across from me, like I'm theone who's put it on the show.

(11:07):
I'm the one who's in the fight, Like I want to show them who
I am, so I kind oftake a bit of that Ali showtime mindset
about having fun in there, butalso like I'm the best, no one
can touch me, and whether that'strue or not to other people when I'm
in that ring, that's what Ifeel. Louisville definitely carries on the spirit
of Muhammad Ali. You see itOliver the city all the time. Definitely

(11:30):
something that we're super proud of here. But hey, we brought up high
school football earlier. We're about tostart football season coming up here soon.
Do you care for American football?Do you have maybe a favorite team,
maybe some some you know, hottake picks you can throw out there if
you do. I'm actually a hugeAmerican football fan and a spect Now.
It's a treat living here now becausein Australia, like the NFL, the

(11:50):
games are on it like three amMonday morning, so I'd have to get
up at like six am, goto the gym and kind of watch it
on the screen and be won game. So now like red Zone all this
stuff. I My team's the PhillyEagles, So right now I'm in Philly.
I was at training camp yesterday.They were running all over the grounds
it was. It was insane.And then I'm going to the game Thursday
as well. This is my firstPhilly Eagles live game, so I'm very

(12:13):
excited for that. I see someof these dudes in person, man,
like I saw Miles Garrett yesterday.It's when you see them in person,
it's like a different understanding. LikeI know how fast he is, how
quick he is, how powerfully is, but then you've seen him person,
how big he is. It waskind of terrifying. I met Jordan my
latter two. He's the offensive linemanfrom the Eagles. He's from Australia from
my hood based sound, and thatguy towered over me. I'm not I

(12:37):
was a little bit terrified. LuckyI was. I was kind of mated
with him, so he didn't putany hits. But I'm telling you,
Eagles back to the super Bowl thisyear. Look at that Eagles back.
I'm a Vikings fan, and theEagles have always had like a sour taste
in my mouth. They're always eliminatingthe Vikings from the playoffs. So that
that's because you've got a dad asa quarterback, Like you're not a Kirk
Cousins fan. I love Kirk Cousins. Oh, I love him as a

(12:58):
person, but as a quarterback,Like you're gonna put out this dad,
Like, I'm surprised he doesn't goout where in the denim instead of his
jersey. No, he's yeah,he's He's definitely a Cole's Cash kind of
guy. And I guess it's it'sdifferent between Patrick Mahomets and hell, even
your guy Jalen Hurts. I mean, they have that fire in him.
And you go see Kirk Cousins,and I guess he just wants to sit
there and make a camp fire withthe sun. But he's just worried about

(13:18):
after He's gonna go watch Bluie afterthe game with these kids, Like,
come on, Kirk, you gottafight. You got Justin Jefferson here,
you gotta feed him. I loveit. I love it. Well,
