The show starts with sweet tooth confessions—OJ, cranberry, banana pudding—and veers straight into the kind of candor fans crave. That playful energy sets up a serious look at what made the Attitude Era special: pressure, pride, and a relentless drive to outwork the last match. We revisit Chyna’s 1999 Good Housekeeping win over Jeff Jarrett, unpack the money standoff behind the scenes, and talk about how veterans navigated live TV without losing sight of the crowd’s heartbeat.
From carnivals and sideshows to the modern product, we ask why the spectacle feels safer now. Is the industry too comfortable to compete? Teddy Long shares how old school pros treated the locker room as an incubator for resilience, why you never “sell” a rib, and how even disasters in the ring become teachable moments for great workers. The mailbag brings raw stories—JBL heat, travel survival, and name association with Funaki, Justin Credible, and Sandman—along with a listener’s tough review: her 11-year-old tuned out of a recent WWE show. That’s a challenge worth meeting.
We also tackle AI’s push into voiceover and whether synthetic reads can ever replace real emotion. Wrestling runs on timing, risk, and human presence; that’s hard to automate. Between laughs about fair rides gone wrong and gratitude for a growing community, the thread is clear: bring back urgency, trust performers with more voice, and polish the product without sanding off its edge.
If you’re here for backstage insight, Attitude Era context, and fan-first honesty, you’ll feel right at home. Subscribe to Road Trip After Hours on YouTube, hit the bell, and share this episode with a friend who misses that old school spark. Then tell us: what would bring the edge back?

SPEAKER_01 (00:14):
Oh, God, do I love it, man?
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (00:17):
I grew up on that.
It's funny because in my house,when I grew up, uh, we had, you
know, milk and and juice in thehouse all the time.
I was not a milk drinker, but Iwould drink some juice.
And to the point where it got sobad that I drank so much, my
tongue would blister from thecitrus because I drank so much
of it.
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (00:36):
I got an I got another one in there I drank
too, and that's the purecranberry.
SPEAKER_00 (00:40):
Oh, then the cranberry is good too.
And that's something I didn'tthink I would enjoy, but I do.
There's a lot of cranberry uhcross drinks too.
They do like cranberry andstrawberry and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_01 (00:49):
Cran apple, cran pineapple.
I've seen all that.
I just like the straightcranberry.
SPEAKER_00 (00:53):
Look here, let me ask you.
You told me one time about um,trying to remember, was it Patty
LaBelle's banana pudding orsomething you used to do?
SPEAKER_01 (01:00):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They sell it in Walmart.
It's uh like I said, I I didn'tknow uh Denise at the time.
I mean, I knew her, but I'msaying we weren't talking and
stuff, you know what I mean?
So I didn't had no idea abouther.
So let me straighten this out soI don't get in trouble.
But Patty La Bell, uh, I startedgetting it at Walmart, and I'm
(01:22):
telling you, man, it wasunbelievable.
Brother was that some goodstuff.
But then uh after with the whenwe got got with Denise, and she
gave me that home cookingbanana, she had pineapples in it
and all, you know, stuff.
Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00 (01:37):
Oh man, oh man.
Yeah, I I found this stuff at agrocery store and it came in
this clear cup, kind of like a Idon't know, like a coffee cup
almost, a little bit higher rim.
And it was it was homemadebanana pudding mousse.
Now, what it was something kindof a it was a a whipped kind of
topping on top with a little bitof the I've seen that moose
stuff you're talking about.
SPEAKER_01 (01:57):
Yeah, golly.
SPEAKER_00 (01:59):
Wee, that's good, Teddy.
Yeah, that's but it's prettyrich.
Oh, yeah, it is, and it'sbananas, and bananas will put
weight on you in a heartbeat,too.
Because it's something else Ilove.
I love bananas, and and bananasuh as soon as I start eating
them, I can't quit.
And and then I get 10 pounds onme in no time.
Yeah, let me ask you aboutsomething that's uh been
happening in wrestling.
SPEAKER_01 (02:19):
And by the way, let's uh let's do this for you
know, we let's uh welcomeeverybody and let's say hello to
everybody, Mr.
Rude.
Oh no, that's what I was that'swhat I was saying.
No, no, no, no.
He opens up the show, ladies andgentlemen.
He goes right into us talkingabout eating.
You so you know he loves to eat.
He doesn't introduce us, doesn'tsay one word, just dive right
into eating.
SPEAKER_00 (02:39):
Well, if he'll set up long enough, I would tell you
that you can join theconversation too by simply
leaving us a comment in thecomment section and we'll throw
you up on the screen.
Go ahead, Teddy.
SPEAKER_01 (02:47):
And the other thing I wanted to do too, I want to
apologize to all of ourlisteners and fans.
Uh uh last week.
Uh, we weren't able to be livewith them because you you were
sick, you know, not doing verywell.
So uh I uh I got a lot ofcomments, you know.
People talking about God, wemiss you guys, and so uh we we
miss you guys too.
So we're glad to be back.
SPEAKER_00 (03:06):
Yeah, it last week was uh a strange week.
In fact, I'm gonna tell you alittle bit about that.
I don't want to open that up uhbefore we get into the uh
straight wrestling.
Last week, the reason I was nothere was I had to film uh for
with the TV crew the day beforewe were supposed to go live.
Now, they called me up and theysaid, Look, we got a carnival, a
fair that's come to town.
(03:26):
It's the fall fair andeverybody's gonna be there.
Can you go out there with thecamera crew and make something,
you know, make a show out ofthis, you know, 30-minute
program?
And I'm thinking, I yeah, I'lltry, I'll see what I can do.
You know, it's last minute, Igot no time to prep.
And then I find out just beforeI hang up the phone call with
the TV station, they're saying,now just one hang up here.
(03:48):
Your cameraman does not like,you know, fair rides, just so
you know.
So it's probably gonna be you.
Now, Teddy, in wrestling, youdon't tell people stuff like
that because the second I knowthat you don't like to ride a
ride, I figured out the angle ofthis entire 30-minute program,
and it's gonna be getting you atthe very end on one of the worst
(04:10):
rides in the carnival, which iswhat I did.
It was a blast.
But karma came back to get mebecause after we got off that
particular ride, my balance wasso off that yeah, I could sit
just kind of move slightly, andI felt like the entire room was
moving.
So that's the reason we weren'there last week because it was
karma for me getting uh a cameraguy uh on a ride he didn't want
(04:34):
to ride, and I ended up with thelong-term effects.
SPEAKER_01 (04:36):
So well, very good.
SPEAKER_00 (04:39):
Yeah, yeah, it's not fair.
One more thing, too, about that.
You know, we Teddy, of allthings, we I interviewed people
who did the games and thingslike that, you know, and you you
know how those games work at thefair, they're always tilted in
the they're all rigged.
SPEAKER_01 (04:53):
Yes, you're talking about.
Yes, it's a worth, they're allrigged.
Jeez, if people don't know thatby now, but I think a lot of
people do know, but they juststill go and have fun.
You know, it doesn't cost awhole lot of money to do some of
that stuff.
So, you know, especially withthe kids, you don't you don't
want to spoil them, but yeah,you know, all that stuff is a
worth.
SPEAKER_00 (05:12):
Do you ever go to carnivals when you were young,
Teddy?
Did you ever go to a fair wherethey had sideshows?
SPEAKER_01 (05:18):
Uh I went to a few, not a whole lot.
You know, when I was young, Iwas a thug.
So I didn't, I you know, I Ithought I was too much for that
kind of stuff.
SPEAKER_00 (05:27):
I went to uh I actually worked at a fair for a
couple of years.
Every time it would come totown, I would just hook up with
the uh the fair and I'd get ajob, you know, picking up the
rings on the ring toss orsomething like that, you know,
and they'd pay you so much moneyper, you know, stack of rings
you would get.
Uh, but I back then they stillhad the sideshows, like the
bearded lady and the two-headed,you know, uh monkeys or whatever
(05:49):
they would have on on display.
And the first one I ever saw ina sideshow, and you don't see
these shows much anymore, uh,was a uh woman, beautiful woman
in a bikini who turned into thisugly, scary gorilla in a cage
that busts out of the cage andchases everybody out of the tent
at the end of it.
(06:10):
And I believed every bit of whatI saw back then.
I can see why maybe nowadayspeople are too smart and they
know the what the sideshowsactually are, but I miss those
days.
I do miss uh seeing some of thatcrazy stuff because it was
always fun to me.
You know, because I was not abig ride, I didn't like riding
rides that much either.
SPEAKER_01 (06:27):
I just like getting the app.
I kind of walked and uh lookedat the scenery and stuff like
that.
You know, one or two things Ithink I might have got on one
time, I'm not sure, but believeme, they were they were a ride
that a two-year-old would get onand not have no problem.
SPEAKER_00 (06:44):
The last time I got on a carousel, this is no line.
This should have been a sign forme not to do the ride at the
fair.
Uh, I got on a carousel with oneof my grandbabies, and I
thought, this is nothing.
I'm just standing there holdingthem while they're riding the
horse.
I got off that thing, man.
Oh man, uh yeah.
They just the the older body andthe younger body, two different
things.
SPEAKER_01 (07:02):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_00 (07:03):
Plot twist Jones popping in.
Uh also a pretty classy ladysaying hello, and plot uh twist
jones saying the same thing.
Good to see you both in here.
SPEAKER_01 (07:12):
Hey, thank you, thank you guys, and we really
missed talking to y'all lastweek.
SPEAKER_00 (07:16):
And Zach Minger, uh look, look here.
National Boston Cream Pie Day,Mac and Teddy.
Ooh, we Boston Cream.
That's something I bet she canmake too.
I bet Denise can make a meanBoston cream.
Uh listen.
SPEAKER_01 (07:30):
Or her daughter, one or the other.
Listen, they they they they theythey they good country people,
brother, and they can cook,okay.
I'm telling you now.
SPEAKER_00 (07:39):
That's what I can tell just by everything you tell
me, because every time Teddygoes out of town, he'll come
back and he'll tell me aboutsome other item he got while he
was at Denise's.
You know, oh, there's the bananapudding, that's the red velvet
cake.
It's the it's the barbecue ribs.
Uh what's the latest thing?
Well, you last time you went,was it still the ribs?
SPEAKER_01 (07:57):
Uh no, this time I had steak that was falling off
the.
I mean, brother, I mean you knowsteak is always tough.
Yeah, I'm telling you, brother,I had a piece, you didn't have
to do nothing but just startchewing it.
It was just it's it's unreal.
I've never had a piece of thatsteak.
It was they was tender as thoseribs.
SPEAKER_00 (08:15):
Wow.
Yeah, and by the way, Zach,you're talking about the
National Boston Cream Pie Daymonth.
I remember when I went to uh St.
Louis with Teddy, he went toKrispy Kreme and ordered a dozen
Boston Kreme donuts and ateevery single one of those donuts
uh in one sitting, wouldn'tshare with anybody.
I don't know why he keep tellingy'all that.
I really don't know why.
He does that, and I don't knowwhy he does that.
SPEAKER_01 (08:37):
Because anybody, anybody that knows me, they know
that I didn't eat no 12 donuts.
And if I had eight 12 donuts, Iwould have been in the gym like
maybe an hour right after that,running that stuff off.
Okay.
SPEAKER_00 (08:52):
I called his room the next morning trying to get
him to go up and go down to thegym.
I couldn't get him to answer thephone because he was still
sleeping off the Boston CreamDonut haze he had.
Sure.
Sure.
Play twist Joan saying, soundslike brothers arguing.
Yeah, exactly.
This is why Teddy and I lovegetting together and doing the
show because we talk shit likethis all the time.
SPEAKER_01 (09:14):
Well, we was and and Mack and I was really thinking
about just putting a camera inthe car, you know, and just
planting it and forget aboutit's there, you know, and just
uh let you hear the realconversation.
SPEAKER_00 (09:25):
I I don't know.
It's something I'd have to editthat a lot, I'm afraid, Teddy.
So we talk about things we can'ttalk about.
Okay, well let's see, uh prettyclassy lady.
Teddy, do you remember uhrefereeing the good housekeeping
match between China and JeffJarrett at No Mercy in 1999?
SPEAKER_01 (09:44):
Yes, I do.
I exactly remember that.
I think that's when uh they putthey uh Jeff refused to put the
title on or something, and thenI think they worked something
out in the back.
I think it was some they had topay him extra money or something
for him to do that.
So I will, yeah, I was a refereethere.
I remember that real.
SPEAKER_00 (10:01):
Yeah, I think he was on his way out of the company at
that time, and that uh he wantedto make sure he got his money up
front, so he asked for somemoney that more than he should
have gotten, or something likethat.
And so begrudgingly gave it tohim.
SPEAKER_01 (10:12):
Yeah, well, he well, he held him up.
You know, you got a live TVpay-per-view here going, you
know what I mean?
So, you know, you you you know,you gotta do something.
SPEAKER_00 (10:20):
Any surprises in that match with you with China
and Jeff Jarrett?
Let me ask you, what was thefeeling backstage?
Because at this point, you gotto remember a woman beating a
man in a wrestling ring wasstill that was pretty big for
that to take place.
So, what was the feelingbackstage?
Did anybody have issues with it?
SPEAKER_01 (10:36):
No, I don't think any of it.
I mean, if you had issues withit, what are you gonna do about
it?
Oh, yeah, you know absolutelynothing.
You know what I mean?
So that's what I'm saying,though.
You know, with Vince, it was youyou understood working in in the
wrestling business.
Vince McMahon made it very clearthat this is a business.
This is not a game that we play,okay?
This is a game in sense, youknow, is what we do, but it's
(11:00):
business.
So already, you already knowwhen you go out there whether
you, you know, you're gonna winor lose.
So it ain't about that.
It's about, hey, let's go outhere, man, and let's tear this
ring down, let's tear the housedown tonight.
Let's give these people 200,more than 100.
You know what I mean?
That's the feeling that youshould have every time you walk
out of that curtain.
SPEAKER_00 (11:19):
And just to be clear, I don't think Jeff
Jarrett had any issue puttingChina over.
That that was not nothing to dowith the money or anything else.
That was a kind of a differentsituation that was taking place
at the same time.
I don't think putt putting Chinaover was a problem at all.
In fact, I thought he did agreat job in the match.
SPEAKER_01 (11:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
You know, I don't understandsome of it today, you know,
because back in the day, oldschool, you know, you knew what
your job was.
So, you know, and when you knewit, all you did is got together
with your opponent and say, heyman, what are we gonna do
tonight?
Let's let's knock, let's, let'skill him out there tonight.
You know, that's the attitudeyou you need to have.
And that's what the attitude erawas.
That's why it was so good,because everybody worked
(11:55):
together and everybody tried tooutwork each other.
SPEAKER_00 (11:58):
Yes.
Yeah, and see, that's what I dothink is missing, Teddy.
I think that in today'senvironment, that people are
afraid to compete with the otherpeople on the show.
And back, like you say, in theattitude era, man, it was every
man for himself, and they wereallowed to put a lot of their
own input into these storylines,and so they had everything to
lose and everything to gain atthe same time.
(12:18):
And many of them gained duringthat time because of the fact
they were able to do thesethings during the attitude era
that they no longer do.
I I don't understand why wedon't still do some of the
things that we used to do backthen.
SPEAKER_01 (12:31):
Because I think we've we're we're we're we're
we're I think we're spoiled now.
You know what I mean?
We're doing so good and makingso much money to you know
something that's stuff, youknow.
Now we maybe we don't even needthat.
SPEAKER_00 (12:43):
Well, see, that to me is like buying a luxury car.
If you go out and let's say youbuy you a real Jaguar or
something, I don't know what thenicest cars are anymore.
But if let's just say a Jaguar,you go out and you buy yourself
a Jaguar and it's got all theleather interior, wood grain
panel, all the stuff, you know,the highest tech in the in the
console.
And then all of a sudden theydecide, you know what?
(13:04):
Our name's good enough.
We're making enough money.
Take out the leather seats andmake them plastic.
Uh yeah, that is the same thingthat I see happening with
wrestling.
You're taking away some of thosethings that need to remain to
give it that polish.
SPEAKER_01 (13:18):
But they look at it like, well, we already got them.
SPEAKER_00 (13:20):
Yeah, so we already got the money.
So why waste?
We can make more money bycutting corners now.
You know, that that is the thingthat just drives me nuts.
Uh, Michael Steele.
Oh, wait a minute, wait aminute.
Uh, second question from prettyclassy lady.
Uh, how did you keep occupied onlong flights and car rides back
in the day?
I can barely stand a few hoursmyself.
SPEAKER_01 (13:41):
Well, uh, we had a lot of guys in the car, you know
what I mean?
Uh at least three guys, youknow, that we travel with.
So we, you know, we were verygood at entertaining ourselves.
SPEAKER_00 (13:52):
You know, I it's surprising because even like
when Teddy and I, when we makeroad trips together, we start
talking about so many things,whether it's wrestling related
or not wrestling related.
By the time we get to wherewe're going, hey, we we time's
kind of passed a lot quickerthan we thought because you got
somebody you can constantly talkto.
And that's you know, that's agood thing.
If I'm riding by myself, though,two, three hours tops is about
(14:13):
as long as I want to be in a carby myself.
SPEAKER_01 (14:15):
Well, you're right about that.
SPEAKER_00 (14:16):
Yeah, yeah, because otherwise it gets too difficult.
Uh, let's see, Michael Steele.
Hey, brother, good to see you inhere saying Boston Cream is the
best.
SPEAKER_01 (14:25):
Michael Steele, my man.
I love Michael, man.
What a great guy.
Uh, I'm gonna be at WrestleKadeuh next month, Michael.
So hope I get a chance to seeyou there, man.
But good always talking to you,man.
Love you, brother.
SPEAKER_00 (14:37):
All right, guys, we gotta step away real fast
because it's time to open upthat mailbag and see what people
are asking Teddy.
SPEAKER_01 (14:44):
Oh, here's that hard letter.
SPEAKER_02 (14:51):
Oh, we get letters, we get the letter every day.
We got those letters, letters Igot what you got to take.
SPEAKER_00 (15:20):
And that is Teddy's favorite uh part of the program
right there.
SPEAKER_01 (15:25):
He wrote that song.
It's horrible.
SPEAKER_00 (15:29):
By the way, if you want to be a part of the show,
it's real simple.
Just leave us a question in theuh chat room there.
We'll throw it up on the screen.
Uh, even if it's not a question,it's just a comment, whatever it
may be, throw it up there.
We'll talk about it.
Uh, it doesn't cost youanything, by the way.
There's no super chats, nocharges for anything.
It's absolutely free.
Uh oh, also, real quick, a uh alittle update.
(15:49):
Teddy and I will no longer bewith Sports Keda after next
week.
Uh, they're closing down aportion of their business.
I don't know exactly why, whatreason is, but they're shutting
down the entire channel.
Uh, so there's a chance thatyou're probably going to see
Bill Aptor join us every uh oncein a while on this show, uh, so
he can answer some questions aswell.
Uh, and we'll be doing that inthe future.
(16:11):
But uh if you want to keep up todate with everything that's
taking place with Teddy and I,Teddy, uh myself and Bill,
whatever shows we may be on,just make sure you log on to
YouTube's Road Trip After Hours.
Subscribe, hit the notificationbutton, and uh you'll know all
the latest news as it breaks.
SPEAKER_01 (16:30):
And and uh the the good part about it, if uh you
want to ask uh Bill After somequestions, then you know, by the
time that he joins us here on uhRoad Trip After Hours, he'll
probably done did his spent inrehab.
He is in rehab right now.
He has an addiction to uh tickcrack.
So uh by the time he get out ofrehab and get on us, you know,
you can ask Bill about you knowwhat was his time like in rehab
(16:52):
and you know how was it, youknow, trying to kick the habit
of those of crack?
So yeah, we can you can talk toBill.
SPEAKER_00 (16:59):
And and and Teddy understands that.
I mean, he he can understandwith that uh that need because
you know his Boston Cream donuthabit that he has is just as
bad.
Let's see.
Freddie in South Carolinawrites, was there ever someone
in wrestling that otherscouldn't stand, but for some
reason you got along with justfine?
(17:21):
Well that's a good question, bythe way, Freddie.
That's a great question.
SPEAKER_01 (17:26):
Yeah, that is a great question.
Well, like I said, I basicallygot along with everybody, you
know what I mean?
But uh there were some guys, youknow, that uh were kind of out
there, you know, but you know,you learn how to play the game
and you can get along with themtoo.
SPEAKER_00 (17:39):
So let me ask you because you know, JBL had a uh
he was gonna say this you justtook that out right from him.
SPEAKER_01 (17:48):
I was gonna say JBO was one of the guys, you know,
that they that a lot of guysdidn't like.
Because he just, you know, likeI said, he pulled pranks on
them, but they pretty much be ashoe.
So yeah, yeah.
You know, he wouldn't, you know,he his one on him, you know, he
wouldn't let Matt Stryker dressin the locker room at one time.
He'd make Matt Stryker take allof his clothes and dress in the
(18:09):
janitor's closet.
That's where he had to changeat.
He wouldn't let him in.
Well, was he just ribbing him orwas he I mean no, no, he was
just uh something about Matt hedidn't like, and so he just made
him dress in the closet.
Wow.
SPEAKER_00 (18:23):
That was the first name when I when I when I first
read that out loud to myself.
I was like, JBL's got to be theguy that I would think of
because I you get along so wellwith JBL that hearing,
especially because I've seen JBLand you together, and I well you
see, here's the thing you can'tsell for him.
SPEAKER_01 (18:39):
That's the worst thing you can do.
If you sell for him, he got you.
Oh, yeah.
I never I never sold for him.
SPEAKER_00 (18:45):
You see, and it goes back to what I was talking
about, the fair at the beginningof the show.
You know, once I knew there wasan issue, you know, and the and
the cameraman sold for me, hewas done.
He was done that he was gonnaride that ride no matter what.
Uh, pretty classy lady poppingin saying that the uh also Mac,
the thumbnail is hilarious, um,which is uh one of Teddy and I
(19:05):
looking scared, I think, withthe spiders all around us is the
one that she's talking about.
And also, uh plot twist Jones.
Hey brother, isn't it ironicthat the same people that were
saying they were afraid to tellVince that he already did the
thing last week now need AI totell them, laughing out loud.
Look, I know on a serious note,when it comes to the AI, I'm not
(19:31):
a big fan.
Uh I understand it can maybe beuseful in cases, uh, but you
know, even in the voiceoverindustry, which I do a lot of
voiceover work, and there arenow constantly AI out there that
can speak, you know, like anannouncer.
Here's the difference, though,and I can point every one of
them out every time they show upon a commercial on TV, radio,
(19:52):
wherever, I can tell immediatelybecause there is no emotion.
Emotion in wrestling is alwaysgonna be there.
So I don't know that AI can everdestroy wrestling, do you?
SPEAKER_01 (20:05):
Uh, I don't know, man.
You know, my feeling on A AI orwhatever that is, that that is
pretty dangerous.
When somebody can take your putyour head on something and use
your voice and say the words orwhatever they want to say, you
know what I mean?
And and now they got peoplethinking it's you and you, and
you know what I mean?
That's that's that's prettydangerous.

do that from time to becausethey may be holding one and
they're going to their match andthey get slammed so hard that
you know it just happens.

easily.
Can you imagine one of thebiggest heels in the company?
Well, it may it may work for aheel, but but one of the biggest
baby faces of the company all ofa sudden just does his business
all over himself in the in thewrestling ring live on TV.

SPEAKER_01 (22:56):
But see, Rock know how to get out of it.
SPEAKER_00 (22:58):
Yeah, he would.
Chris Jericho would for sure,because he said boys know how to
do this.

It was boring, not near as goodas it once was.
(23:45):
Please note, my 11-year-oldgrandson watched it with me.
He asked if we could watchsomething else.
Wow.
Wow.
That's an 11-year-old kid.
So now I don't know who theirtarget demo is anymore.
I really don't.
Uh, but uh that says a lot aboutwhere you're where the creative
is.
If you can't maintain an11-year-old boy's attention to
(24:07):
wrestling, there's got to be aproblem.
SPEAKER_01 (24:09):
It's like I told you, man, it's I think you know,

pretty good at.
SPEAKER_01 (27:32):

soul.
I do a little bit of him.
Sometimes I can do a little bitof dusty if you will.
SPEAKER_00 (27:40):
Yeah, yeah, you're the ones that you do that I am
so used to is the dusty, but butthe chic, whenever you start
talking like the show, we'regoing to car we were talking
about stories earlier when Teddyand I drive.
And Teddy will go into that uhthat tone of the the chic while
he's telling me some stories,and I can just imagine the chic
saying those things to mehimself.
(28:00):
He's he's that's one of yourfavorite ones for me, at least.
SPEAKER_01 (28:03):
Oh, we're on the airplane.
I'll give you one.
We was on the airplane one time,and so we were sitting down, so
the lady came by and she kepttrying to get him to you know
let his seat up, you know, andall he got hot.
Oh, you're a fucking douchebag.
You're gonna tell me douchebag,you're gonna tell me.
SPEAKER_00 (28:25):
Now, were you next to him at the time?
Yeah.
Now, what are you doing?
SPEAKER_01 (28:29):
Are you are you just hiding your head going, that's
just I just you know, you don'tdo nothing, you just sit there
and just look out in space andlet him rent.
SPEAKER_00 (28:38):
Even Bruce uh Sarge, uh, who's popping in saying
hello, Teddy.
Uh, I think he popped yeah acouple times.
Sarge said, Hello.
SPEAKER_01 (28:46):
Wait, what's going on, Dwayne?
SPEAKER_00 (28:51):
You know, the first time I met him was at the power
plant.
Uh I was working for a radiostation here, and we gave away
uh an opportunity to go to theuh the power plant to train uh
during one of their trainingsessions.
They have at certain times ofthe year they would do that, and
so we had a winner go there.
They didn't last even a day uhbecause of the the intense, you
(29:12):
know.
I don't think they had any SARS.
SPEAKER_01 (29:14):
Listen, if you ain't ready, do not get in the ring
with SARS, girls.
He is dead serious.
Okay, yeah.
So I'm telling you, if you wantto learn and get it right, then
you hang in there with him.
And once he's done with you, ifyou ain't got it, then you never
will get it.
SPEAKER_00 (29:30):
Let's see.
We have uh Chris also saying, Ialways had one, uh, he's talking
about a problem or an accident.
Uh trainee Nick had to tell PapaMarco too much protein and took
myself to the Taco Bell down theroad.
SPEAKER_01 (29:44):
Good.
SPEAKER_00 (29:45):
And let's see, I think that's it for right there.
We do have we had enough timefor I guess a name association.
You want to try to do this whilewe got a little bit of time
here, Teddy?
That's up to you.
All right.
What's uh we'll see how far wecan go.
And we keep taking yourquestions too.
If you want to get any morequestions in, do so.
We'll throw them up.
On the screen, uh nameassociation.
Uh, this is uh from Piper's Pot.
(30:05):
The first one is Funaki.
SPEAKER_01 (30:09):
Oh, yeah, Funaki.
He was he was funny.
You know what I mean?
They he he he he told everybodyone time he couldn't drive, and
they caught him driving onetime.
Oh god, did they rip him?
SPEAKER_00 (30:22):
I bet he drove every time after that.
I bet he started.
SPEAKER_01 (30:26):
He had he had people chauffeur him around, you know,
because he's here, and you know,guys want to make sure he gets
to the towns and stuff, youknow.
So he's just hopping, you know,car hopping.
And we saw him one day.
I guess he got you know, learnedhow to get a rental car and he
was driving.
Oh god, they they blistered him.
I think they took the car fromhim or something like that.
SPEAKER_00 (30:46):
Now, here's one I'm curious about because uh he's
been in the news quite a bit inthe last uh year, it seems.
Justin credible.
SPEAKER_01 (30:55):
Uh, I met Justin uh over the years.
I think the last time I saw himwas on an independent when I was
out there in Texas.
Uh and uh he came out and theyused him out there and uh saw
him out there.
Uh, you know, nice guy, man.
I you know, we always talked andhad a great conversation, but
you know, never hung out, or wenever, you know, I never went to
the clubs or nothing like thatwith him.
(31:15):
But further than that, do youknow a real nice guy?
SPEAKER_00 (31:18):
Yeah, I know he's had a lot of problems, uh, where
he's uh from what people sayallegedly taking uh advantage of
fans and you know trying to getmoney out of people, and and
he's had his issues with uh somedemons, and he's still fighting
those issues to this day, whichis unfortunate uh to be that far
along and still letting thosedemons control you like that.
SPEAKER_01 (31:38):
Yeah, yeah, it's yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (31:40):

So he was always a nice guy,man.
Just super nice.
SPEAKER_00 (31:57):
Was he smart to the business, Teddy?
Did he did he come across likehe really understood the
business?
Or because you know, some ofthose guys in ECW, they were a
bit of a different breed.
SPEAKER_01 (32:06):
Well, Sandman was smart to the business.
Sandman had been there longenough to understand, you know,
what it was really like, youknow, and thank and I think he
was close with Paul, so youknow, he was able to learn a lot
right there, too.
You know, he was right up on thepause, one of Paul Paul's guys.

I grew up on that.
It's funny because in my house,when I grew up, uh, we had, you
know, milk and and juice in thehouse all the time.
I was not a milk drinker, but Iwould drink some juice.
And to the point where it got sobad that I drank so much, my
tongue would blister from thecitrus because I drank so much
of it.
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (00:36):

SPEAKER_01 (00:49):
Cran apple, cran pineapple.
I've seen all that.
I just like the straightcranberry.
SPEAKER_00 (00:53):
Look here, let me ask you.
You told me one time about um,trying to remember, was it Patty
LaBelle's banana pudding orsomething you used to do?
SPEAKER_01 (01:00):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They sell it in Walmart.
It's uh like I said, I I didn'tknow uh Denise at the time.
I mean, I knew her, but I'msaying we weren't talking and
stuff, you know what I mean?
So I didn't had no idea abouther.
So let me straighten this out soI don't get in trouble.
But Patty La Bell, uh, I startedgetting it at Walmart, and I'm
(01:22):
telling you, man, it wasunbelievable.
Brother was that some goodstuff.
But then uh after with the whenwe got got with Denise, and she
gave me that home cookingbanana, she had pineapples in it
and all, you know, stuff.
Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00 (01:37):
Oh man, oh man.
Yeah, I I found this stuff at agrocery store and it came in
this clear cup, kind of like a Idon't know, like a coffee cup
almost, a little bit higher rim.
And it was it was homemadebanana pudding mousse.
Now, what it was something kindof a it was a a whipped kind of
topping on top with a little bitof the I've seen that moose
stuff you're talking about.
SPEAKER_01 (01:57):
Yeah, golly.
SPEAKER_00 (01:59):
Wee, that's good, Teddy.
Yeah, that's but it's prettyrich.
Oh, yeah, it is, and it'sbananas, and bananas will put
weight on you in a heartbeat,too.
Because it's something else Ilove.
I love bananas, and and bananasuh as soon as I start eating
them, I can't quit.
And and then I get 10 pounds onme in no time.
Yeah, let me ask you aboutsomething that's uh been
happening in wrestling.
SPEAKER_01 (02:19):
And by the way, let's uh let's do this for you
know, we let's uh welcomeeverybody and let's say hello to
everybody, Mr.
Rude.
Oh no, that's what I was that'swhat I was saying.
No, no, no, no.
He opens up the show, ladies andgentlemen.
He goes right into us talkingabout eating.
You so you know he loves to eat.
He doesn't introduce us, doesn'tsay one word, just dive right
into eating.
SPEAKER_00 (02:39):
Well, if he'll set up long enough, I would tell you
that you can join theconversation too by simply
leaving us a comment in thecomment section and we'll throw
you up on the screen.
Go ahead, Teddy.
SPEAKER_01 (02:47):
And the other thing I wanted to do too, I want to
apologize to all of ourlisteners and fans.
Uh uh last week.
Uh, we weren't able to be livewith them because you you were
sick, you know, not doing verywell.
So uh I uh I got a lot ofcomments, you know.
People talking about God, wemiss you guys, and so uh we we
miss you guys too.
So we're glad to be back.
SPEAKER_00 (03:06):
Yeah, it last week was uh a strange week.
In fact, I'm gonna tell you alittle bit about that.
I don't want to open that up uhbefore we get into the uh
straight wrestling.
Last week, the reason I was nothere was I had to film uh for
with the TV crew the day beforewe were supposed to go live.
Now, they called me up and theysaid, Look, we got a carnival, a
fair that's come to town.
(03:26):
It's the fall fair andeverybody's gonna be there.
Can you go out there with thecamera crew and make something,
you know, make a show out ofthis, you know, 30-minute
program?
And I'm thinking, I yeah, I'lltry, I'll see what I can do.
You know, it's last minute, Igot no time to prep.
And then I find out just beforeI hang up the phone call with
the TV station, they're saying,now just one hang up here.
(03:48):
Your cameraman does not like,you know, fair rides, just so
you know.
So it's probably gonna be you.
Now, Teddy, in wrestling, youdon't tell people stuff like
that because the second I knowthat you don't like to ride a
ride, I figured out the angle ofthis entire 30-minute program,
and it's gonna be getting you atthe very end on one of the worst
(04:10):
rides in the carnival, which iswhat I did.
It was a blast.
But karma came back to get mebecause after we got off that
particular ride, my balance wasso off that yeah, I could sit
just kind of move slightly, andI felt like the entire room was
moving.
So that's the reason we weren'there last week because it was
karma for me getting uh a cameraguy uh on a ride he didn't want
(04:34):
to ride, and I ended up with thelong-term effects.
SPEAKER_01 (04:36):
So well, very good.
SPEAKER_00 (04:39):
Yeah, yeah, it's not fair.
One more thing, too, about that.
You know, we Teddy, of allthings, we I interviewed people
who did the games and thingslike that, you know, and you you
know how those games work at thefair, they're always tilted in
the they're all rigged.
SPEAKER_01 (04:53):
Yes, you're talking about.
Yes, it's a worth, they're allrigged.
Jeez, if people don't know thatby now, but I think a lot of
people do know, but they juststill go and have fun.
You know, it doesn't cost awhole lot of money to do some of
that stuff.
So, you know, especially withthe kids, you don't you don't
want to spoil them, but yeah,you know, all that stuff is a
worth.
SPEAKER_00 (05:12):
Do you ever go to carnivals when you were young,
Teddy?
Did you ever go to a fair wherethey had sideshows?
SPEAKER_01 (05:18):
Uh I went to a few, not a whole lot.
You know, when I was young, Iwas a thug.
So I didn't, I you know, I Ithought I was too much for that
kind of stuff.
SPEAKER_00 (05:27):
I went to uh I actually worked at a fair for a
couple of years.
Every time it would come totown, I would just hook up with
the uh the fair and I'd get ajob, you know, picking up the
rings on the ring toss orsomething like that, you know,
and they'd pay you so much moneyper, you know, stack of rings
you would get.
Uh, but I back then they stillhad the sideshows, like the
bearded lady and the two-headed,you know, uh monkeys or whatever
(05:49):
they would have on on display.
And the first one I ever saw ina sideshow, and you don't see
these shows much anymore, uh,was a uh woman, beautiful woman
in a bikini who turned into thisugly, scary gorilla in a cage
that busts out of the cage andchases everybody out of the tent
at the end of it.
(06:10):
And I believed every bit of whatI saw back then.
I can see why maybe nowadayspeople are too smart and they
know the what the sideshowsactually are, but I miss those
days.
I do miss uh seeing some of thatcrazy stuff because it was
always fun to me.
You know, because I was not abig ride, I didn't like riding
rides that much either.
SPEAKER_01 (06:27):
I just like getting the app.
I kind of walked and uh lookedat the scenery and stuff like
that.
You know, one or two things Ithink I might have got on one
time, I'm not sure, but believeme, they were they were a ride
that a two-year-old would get onand not have no problem.
SPEAKER_00 (06:44):
The last time I got on a carousel, this is no line.
This should have been a sign forme not to do the ride at the
fair.
Uh, I got on a carousel with oneof my grandbabies, and I
thought, this is nothing.
I'm just standing there holdingthem while they're riding the
horse.
I got off that thing, man.
Oh man, uh yeah.
They just the the older body andthe younger body, two different
things.
SPEAKER_01 (07:02):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_00 (07:03):
Plot twist Jones popping in.
Uh also a pretty classy ladysaying hello, and plot uh twist
jones saying the same thing.
Good to see you both in here.
SPEAKER_01 (07:12):
Hey, thank you, thank you guys, and we really
missed talking to y'all lastweek.
SPEAKER_00 (07:16):
And Zach Minger, uh look, look here.
National Boston Cream Pie Day,Mac and Teddy.
Ooh, we Boston Cream.
That's something I bet she canmake too.
I bet Denise can make a meanBoston cream.
Uh listen.
SPEAKER_01 (07:30):
Or her daughter, one or the other.
Listen, they they they they theythey they good country people,
brother, and they can cook,okay.
I'm telling you now.
SPEAKER_00 (07:39):
That's what I can tell just by everything you tell
me, because every time Teddygoes out of town, he'll come
back and he'll tell me aboutsome other item he got while he
was at Denise's.
You know, oh, there's the bananapudding, that's the red velvet
cake.
It's the it's the barbecue ribs.
Uh what's the latest thing?
Well, you last time you went,was it still the ribs?
SPEAKER_01 (07:57):
Uh no, this time I had steak that was falling off
the.
I mean, brother, I mean you knowsteak is always tough.
Yeah, I'm telling you, brother,I had a piece, you didn't have
to do nothing but just startchewing it.
It was just it's it's unreal.
I've never had a piece of thatsteak.
It was they was tender as thoseribs.
SPEAKER_00 (08:15):
Wow.
Yeah, and by the way, Zach,you're talking about the
National Boston Cream Pie Daymonth.
I remember when I went to uh St.
Louis with Teddy, he went toKrispy Kreme and ordered a dozen
Boston Kreme donuts and ateevery single one of those donuts
uh in one sitting, wouldn'tshare with anybody.
I don't know why he keep tellingy'all that.
I really don't know why.
He does that, and I don't knowwhy he does that.
SPEAKER_01 (08:37):
Because anybody, anybody that knows me, they know
that I didn't eat no 12 donuts.
And if I had eight 12 donuts, Iwould have been in the gym like
maybe an hour right after that,running that stuff off.
Okay.
SPEAKER_00 (08:52):
I called his room the next morning trying to get
him to go up and go down to thegym.
I couldn't get him to answer thephone because he was still
sleeping off the Boston CreamDonut haze he had.
Sure.
Sure.
Play twist Joan saying, soundslike brothers arguing.
Yeah, exactly.
This is why Teddy and I lovegetting together and doing the
show because we talk shit likethis all the time.
SPEAKER_01 (09:14):
Well, we was and and Mack and I was really thinking
about just putting a camera inthe car, you know, and just
planting it and forget aboutit's there, you know, and just
uh let you hear the realconversation.
SPEAKER_00 (09:25):
I I don't know.
It's something I'd have to editthat a lot, I'm afraid, Teddy.
So we talk about things we can'ttalk about.
Okay, well let's see, uh prettyclassy lady.
Teddy, do you remember uhrefereeing the good housekeeping
match between China and JeffJarrett at No Mercy in 1999?
SPEAKER_01 (09:44):
Yes, I do.
I exactly remember that.
I think that's when uh they putthey uh Jeff refused to put the
title on or something, and thenI think they worked something
out in the back.
I think it was some they had topay him extra money or something
for him to do that.
So I will, yeah, I was a refereethere.
I remember that real.
SPEAKER_00 (10:01):
Yeah, I think he was on his way out of the company at
that time, and that uh he wantedto make sure he got his money up
front, so he asked for somemoney that more than he should
have gotten, or something likethat.
And so begrudgingly gave it tohim.
SPEAKER_01 (10:12):
Yeah, well, he well, he held him up.
You know, you got a live TVpay-per-view here going, you
know what I mean?
So, you know, you you you know,you gotta do something.
SPEAKER_00 (10:20):
Any surprises in that match with you with China
and Jeff Jarrett?
Let me ask you, what was thefeeling backstage?
Because at this point, you gotto remember a woman beating a
man in a wrestling ring wasstill that was pretty big for
that to take place.
So, what was the feelingbackstage?
Did anybody have issues with it?
SPEAKER_01 (10:36):
No, I don't think any of it.
I mean, if you had issues withit, what are you gonna do about
it?
Oh, yeah, you know absolutelynothing.
You know what I mean?
So that's what I'm saying,though.
You know, with Vince, it was youyou understood working in in the
wrestling business.
Vince McMahon made it very clearthat this is a business.
This is not a game that we play,okay?
This is a game in sense, youknow, is what we do, but it's
(11:00):
business.
So already, you already knowwhen you go out there whether
you, you know, you're gonna winor lose.
So it ain't about that.
It's about, hey, let's go outhere, man, and let's tear this
ring down, let's tear the housedown tonight.
Let's give these people 200,more than 100.
You know what I mean?
That's the feeling that youshould have every time you walk
out of that curtain.
SPEAKER_00 (11:19):
And just to be clear, I don't think Jeff
Jarrett had any issue puttingChina over.
That that was not nothing to dowith the money or anything else.
That was a kind of a differentsituation that was taking place
at the same time.
I don't think putt putting Chinaover was a problem at all.
In fact, I thought he did agreat job in the match.
SPEAKER_01 (11:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
You know, I don't understandsome of it today, you know,
because back in the day, oldschool, you know, you knew what
your job was.
So, you know, and when you knewit, all you did is got together
with your opponent and say, heyman, what are we gonna do
tonight?
Let's let's knock, let's, let'skill him out there tonight.
You know, that's the attitudeyou you need to have.
And that's what the attitude erawas.
That's why it was so good,because everybody worked
(11:55):
together and everybody tried tooutwork each other.
SPEAKER_00 (11:58):
Yes.
Yeah, and see, that's what I dothink is missing, Teddy.
I think that in today'senvironment, that people are
afraid to compete with the otherpeople on the show.
And back, like you say, in theattitude era, man, it was every
man for himself, and they wereallowed to put a lot of their
own input into these storylines,and so they had everything to
lose and everything to gain atthe same time.
(12:18):
And many of them gained duringthat time because of the fact
they were able to do thesethings during the attitude era
that they no longer do.
I I don't understand why wedon't still do some of the
things that we used to do backthen.
SPEAKER_01 (12:31):
Because I think we've we're we're we're we're
we're I think we're spoiled now.
You know what I mean?
We're doing so good and makingso much money to you know
something that's stuff, youknow.
Now we maybe we don't even needthat.
SPEAKER_00 (12:43):
Well, see, that to me is like buying a luxury car.
If you go out and let's say youbuy you a real Jaguar or
something, I don't know what thenicest cars are anymore.
But if let's just say a Jaguar,you go out and you buy yourself
a Jaguar and it's got all theleather interior, wood grain
panel, all the stuff, you know,the highest tech in the in the
console.
And then all of a sudden theydecide, you know what?
(13:04):
Our name's good enough.
We're making enough money.
Take out the leather seats andmake them plastic.
Uh yeah, that is the same thingthat I see happening with
wrestling.
You're taking away some of thosethings that need to remain to
give it that polish.
SPEAKER_01 (13:18):
But they look at it like, well, we already got them.
SPEAKER_00 (13:20):
Yeah, so we already got the money.
So why waste?
We can make more money bycutting corners now.
You know, that that is the thingthat just drives me nuts.
Uh, Michael Steele.
Oh, wait a minute, wait aminute.
Uh, second question from prettyclassy lady.
Uh, how did you keep occupied onlong flights and car rides back
in the day?
I can barely stand a few hoursmyself.
SPEAKER_01 (13:41):
Well, uh, we had a lot of guys in the car, you know
what I mean?
Uh at least three guys, youknow, that we travel with.
So we, you know, we were verygood at entertaining ourselves.
SPEAKER_00 (13:52):
You know, I it's surprising because even like
when Teddy and I, when we makeroad trips together, we start
talking about so many things,whether it's wrestling related
or not wrestling related.
By the time we get to wherewe're going, hey, we we time's
kind of passed a lot quickerthan we thought because you got
somebody you can constantly talkto.
And that's you know, that's agood thing.
If I'm riding by myself, though,two, three hours tops is about
(14:13):
as long as I want to be in a carby myself.
SPEAKER_01 (14:15):
Well, you're right about that.
SPEAKER_00 (14:16):
Yeah, yeah, because otherwise it gets too difficult.
Uh, let's see, Michael Steele.
Hey, brother, good to see you inhere saying Boston Cream is the
best.
SPEAKER_01 (14:25):
Michael Steele, my man.
I love Michael, man.
What a great guy.
Uh, I'm gonna be at WrestleKadeuh next month, Michael.
So hope I get a chance to seeyou there, man.
But good always talking to you,man.
Love you, brother.
SPEAKER_00 (14:37):
All right, guys, we gotta step away real fast
because it's time to open upthat mailbag and see what people
are asking Teddy.
SPEAKER_01 (14:44):
Oh, here's that hard letter.
SPEAKER_02 (14:51):
Oh, we get letters, we get the letter every day.
We got those letters, letters Igot what you got to take.
SPEAKER_00 (15:20):
And that is Teddy's favorite uh part of the program
right there.
SPEAKER_01 (15:25):
He wrote that song.
It's horrible.
SPEAKER_00 (15:29):
By the way, if you want to be a part of the show,
it's real simple.
Just leave us a question in theuh chat room there.
We'll throw it up on the screen.
Uh, even if it's not a question,it's just a comment, whatever it
may be, throw it up there.
We'll talk about it.
Uh, it doesn't cost youanything, by the way.
There's no super chats, nocharges for anything.
It's absolutely free.
Uh oh, also, real quick, a uh alittle update.
(15:49):
Teddy and I will no longer bewith Sports Keda after next
week.
Uh, they're closing down aportion of their business.
I don't know exactly why, whatreason is, but they're shutting
down the entire channel.
Uh, so there's a chance thatyou're probably going to see
Bill Aptor join us every uh oncein a while on this show, uh, so
he can answer some questions aswell.
Uh, and we'll be doing that inthe future.
(16:11):
But uh if you want to keep up todate with everything that's
taking place with Teddy and I,Teddy, uh myself and Bill,
whatever shows we may be on,just make sure you log on to
YouTube's Road Trip After Hours.
Subscribe, hit the notificationbutton, and uh you'll know all
the latest news as it breaks.
SPEAKER_01 (16:30):
And and uh the the good part about it, if uh you
want to ask uh Bill After somequestions, then you know, by the
time that he joins us here on uhRoad Trip After Hours, he'll
probably done did his spent inrehab.
He is in rehab right now.
He has an addiction to uh tickcrack.
So uh by the time he get out ofrehab and get on us, you know,
you can ask Bill about you knowwhat was his time like in rehab
(16:52):
and you know how was it, youknow, trying to kick the habit
of those of crack?
So yeah, we can you can talk toBill.
SPEAKER_00 (16:59):
And and and Teddy understands that.
I mean, he he can understandwith that uh that need because
you know his Boston Cream donuthabit that he has is just as
bad.
Let's see.
Freddie in South Carolinawrites, was there ever someone
in wrestling that otherscouldn't stand, but for some
reason you got along with justfine?
(17:21):
Well that's a good question, bythe way, Freddie.
That's a great question.
SPEAKER_01 (17:26):
Yeah, that is a great question.
Well, like I said, I basicallygot along with everybody, you
know what I mean?
But uh there were some guys, youknow, that uh were kind of out
there, you know, but you know,you learn how to play the game
and you can get along with themtoo.
SPEAKER_00 (17:39):
So let me ask you because you know, JBL had a uh
he was gonna say this you justtook that out right from him.
SPEAKER_01 (17:48):
I was gonna say JBO was one of the guys, you know,
that they that a lot of guysdidn't like.
Because he just, you know, likeI said, he pulled pranks on
them, but they pretty much be ashoe.
So yeah, yeah.
You know, he wouldn't, you know,he his one on him, you know, he
wouldn't let Matt Stryker dressin the locker room at one time.
He'd make Matt Stryker take allof his clothes and dress in the
(18:09):
janitor's closet.
That's where he had to changeat.
He wouldn't let him in.
Well, was he just ribbing him orwas he I mean no, no, he was
just uh something about Matt hedidn't like, and so he just made
him dress in the closet.
Wow.
SPEAKER_00 (18:23):
That was the first name when I when I when I first
read that out loud to myself.
I was like, JBL's got to be theguy that I would think of
because I you get along so wellwith JBL that hearing,
especially because I've seen JBLand you together, and I well you
see, here's the thing you can'tsell for him.
SPEAKER_01 (18:39):
That's the worst thing you can do.
If you sell for him, he got you.
Oh, yeah.
I never I never sold for him.
SPEAKER_00 (18:45):
You see, and it goes back to what I was talking
about, the fair at the beginningof the show.
You know, once I knew there wasan issue, you know, and the and
the cameraman sold for me, hewas done.
He was done that he was gonnaride that ride no matter what.
Uh, pretty classy lady poppingin saying that the uh also Mac,
the thumbnail is hilarious, um,which is uh one of Teddy and I
(19:05):
looking scared, I think, withthe spiders all around us is the
one that she's talking about.
And also, uh plot twist Jones.
Hey brother, isn't it ironicthat the same people that were
saying they were afraid to tellVince that he already did the
thing last week now need AI totell them, laughing out loud.
Look, I know on a serious note,when it comes to the AI, I'm not
(19:31):
a big fan.
Uh I understand it can maybe beuseful in cases, uh, but you
know, even in the voiceoverindustry, which I do a lot of
voiceover work, and there arenow constantly AI out there that
can speak, you know, like anannouncer.
Here's the difference, though,and I can point every one of
them out every time they show upon a commercial on TV, radio,
(19:52):
wherever, I can tell immediatelybecause there is no emotion.
Emotion in wrestling is alwaysgonna be there.
So I don't know that AI can everdestroy wrestling, do you?
SPEAKER_01 (20:05):
Uh, I don't know, man.
You know, my feeling on A AI orwhatever that is, that that is
pretty dangerous.
When somebody can take your putyour head on something and use
your voice and say the words orwhatever they want to say, you
know what I mean?
And and now they got peoplethinking it's you and you, and
you know what I mean?
That's that's that's prettydangerous.
SPEAKER_00 (20:27):
That's daddy uh 40 ounce seed dub saying, uh,
somebody call Carl Malone andget two chains to do a remix to
that letters song.
So there's always a comedian inhere.
If Bill has any tick crack hedoesn't need, I can chase I can
chase this with one or two of mydrinks.
(20:48):
Okay, I got I got you.
If he needs something to swallowthose tick cracks back, uh you
can use one of your drinks.
SPEAKER_01 (20:53):
I got you.
Well, well, when Bill comes onthe show, you can uh call back
and you can uh ask him that.
I'm pretty sure he has someextra ones.
SPEAKER_00 (21:00):
I'm sure he I don't think he ever runs out.
Teddy, I swear to you.
I don't care what time of day Italk to him, he's got tick crack
in his mouth every time.
Every time.
Irvin, Mike LaRue.
They just put them one-on-onewith The Undertaker.
SPEAKER_01 (21:15):
You could believe that player.
SPEAKER_00 (21:17):
Scott Gillespie, anyone ever pass gas in the ring
and made Teddy, uh made Teddybreak character?
That's a good question.
I mean, is any of the guys everjust farted right in your face?
SPEAKER_01 (21:27):
They did uh Prince Albert.
Uh, you remember him?
Yes.
He he didn't uh he didn't justfart, he did the real deal.
Oh no.
And he looked right at me and hesaid, I done pooped on myself.
SPEAKER_00 (21:43):
Well, you know, you hear about a lot of people who
do that from time to becausethey may be holding one and
they're going to their match andthey get slammed so hard that
you know it just happens.
SPEAKER_01 (21:51):
That's what happened to him when he went down and I
went down the count and he oh, Idone pooped on myself.
Well, what did he do?
SPEAKER_00 (21:58):
Did he just try to did he end the match at that
point?
Did he was he near the end?
SPEAKER_01 (22:02):
You keep on going.
I mean, you can't just stop.
SPEAKER_00 (22:05):
You know, what happens if you're starting to
drag it all over the ring?
SPEAKER_01 (22:08):
Well, I we'll have to wait till that day comes.
SPEAKER_00 (22:11):
All of a sudden he gets in a position where he may
have wiped a little bit and yougot to slap the three count and
it's right under the like Isaid, he was pretty because a
lot of time the guys, the tightsare pretty tight, you know what
I mean?
SPEAKER_01 (22:20):
So you know Imagine if somebody had diarrhea.
SPEAKER_00 (22:24):
I don't I'm not trying to say it and be sounding
bad on the show, but I mean,really, if that happens, and
that you know, that's you can'thelp that.
It just boom, it happens, it'sthere.
Jeez, if you got white shorts onbrother, you in trouble.
SPEAKER_01 (22:36):
It is it is what it is.
SPEAKER_00 (22:38):
I'm thinking that uh it could ruin a career very
easily.
Can you imagine one of thebiggest heels in the company?
Well, it may it may work for aheel, but but one of the biggest
baby faces of the company all ofa sudden just does his business
all over himself in the in thewrestling ring live on TV.
Can you imagine if the rock haddone that?
I don't think you'd get overthat.
SPEAKER_01 (22:56):
But see, Rock know how to get out of it.
SPEAKER_00 (22:58):
Yeah, he would.
Chris Jericho would for sure,because he said boys know how to
do this.
SPEAKER_01 (23:03):
They know how to work around that and make that
and make you like that, whetheryou liked it or not.
SPEAKER_00 (23:07):
Yep.
All right, let's see.
Uh Joe, hey Joe, great to seeyou in here, brother.
Nick uh Patrick.
A new match, super pooper match.
I bet you Joe has seen somepeople do that as well.
SPEAKER_01 (23:22):
Oh, of course he has.
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (23:25):
Let's see.
Cynthia in Oregon writes, I'm aseasoned woman.
She's been listening to you, uh,Teddy.
And I recently decided to watchWWE again after nearly 20 years
because of our show.
It was boring, not near as goodas it once was.
(23:45):
Please note, my 11-year-oldgrandson watched it with me.
He asked if we could watchsomething else.
Wow.
Wow.
That's an 11-year-old kid.
So now I don't know who theirtarget demo is anymore.
I really don't.
Uh, but uh that says a lot aboutwhere you're where the creative
is.
If you can't maintain an11-year-old boy's attention to
(24:07):
wrestling, there's got to be aproblem.
SPEAKER_01 (24:09):
It's like I told you, man, it's I think you know,
it's too much, and they got alot on their hands, man.
You know, you're trying to becreative for all these guys,
man.
You know, it's it's it's that'sa lot of work.
SPEAKER_00 (24:20):
Yep.
I let's see.
Uh Eric Heelbiz, Teddy, duringthe sky craper, yeah, skyscraper
days.
Did you take one look at Sid andtell instantly that he was going
to be a big deal?

No, I didn't.
Uh I did, you know, when uh Ifirst got together with Dan with
Sid and Danny, you know, Ialways kind of was with Danny,
you know, most of the time.
You know, we was all together,but I didn't sit and I never did
really have no big conversationsor nothing.
So I, you know, I really, reallydidn't know.
I was just happy to be with himto manage him.
SPEAKER_00 (24:53):
He also uh says, I just wanted to say that we love

Thanks again for everything youdo in the biz.
Eric.
SPEAKER_01 (25:01):
Well, thank you so much, man.

SPEAKER_00 (25:06):
Yeah, and by you, I I found it funny.
I saw somebody today say uh thatuh oh, the uh the the shows must
not have been doing well insports keto for them to close
the channel.
Let me tell you, that's not thecase.
They the the reach with sportsketo was incredible.
Uh and not just on their YouTubepage.

(25:50):
Pretty crazy.
Teddy, I have heard uh some uhAI music to the point where I
did not realize it wasn't anartist on the top 40 chart.
That is frightening.
SPEAKER_01 (26:00):
I heard one uh that they did with Smokey Robinson,
and it was AI.
Yeah, I swear to God.
I if they hadn't told me, Iwouldn't have never thought no
more.

Oh one too many blunts or something.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_00 (26:30):

What wrestling impressions canyou do?
(27:27):
Do you you have any wrestling?
I I know of one I've heard youdo that I thought you were
pretty good at.
SPEAKER_01 (27:32):
Uh, I do a little bit of the chic, God rest his
soul.
I do a little bit of him.
Sometimes I can do a little bitof dusty if you will.
SPEAKER_00 (27:40):
Yeah, yeah, you're the ones that you do that I am
so used to is the dusty, but butthe chic, whenever you start
talking like the show, we'regoing to car we were talking
about stories earlier when Teddyand I drive.
And Teddy will go into that uhthat tone of the the chic while
he's telling me some stories,and I can just imagine the chic
saying those things to mehimself.

SPEAKER_01 (28:03):

the lady came by and she kepttrying to get him to you know
let his seat up, you know, andall he got hot.

SPEAKER_01 (28:29):

and just look out in space andlet him rent.
SPEAKER_00 (28:38):

plant.
Uh I was working for a radiostation here, and we gave away
uh an opportunity to go to theuh the power plant to train uh
during one of their trainingsessions.
They have at certain times ofthe year they would do that, and
so we had a winner go there.
They didn't last even a day uhbecause of the the intense, you
(29:12):
know.
I don't think they had any SARS.
SPEAKER_01 (29:14):
Listen, if you ain't ready, do not get in the ring
with SARS, girls.
He is dead serious.
Okay, yeah.
So I'm telling you, if you wantto learn and get it right, then
you hang in there with him.
And once he's done with you, ifyou ain't got it, then you never
will get it.
