Ever wondered what really happens behind the wrestling curtain? Wrestling legend Teddy Long doesn't hold back in this candid, revealing conversation that tackles everything from industry drama to personal preferences.
The episode kicks off with shocking revelations about Linda Hogan's emotional public breakdown, where she disclosed an eight-year estrangement from her daughter Brooke and called her ex-husband Hulk "a complete liar and sex addict." Teddy offers his unfiltered take on bringing personal family issues into the public eye, setting the tone for an honest conversation about wrestling's reality.
Things get particularly fascinating when Teddy shares stories about backstage pranks or "ribs" that crossed the line from funny to downright malicious. From Roddy Piper soaking someone's gear to prevent them from performing to a particularly nasty prank intended for Mark Henry that could have ended badly, these tales illuminate the sometimes toxic environment wrestlers navigated. As Teddy poignantly states, "In this business, you have no friends" – a sobering glimpse into the wrestling world's harsh realities.
The conversation shifts to wrestling history with reflections on WCW's final days and why the subsequent "Invasion" angle fell short of expectations. Teddy provides unique insider perspective on current industry developments including Saraya's AEW departure and the evolution of tag team wrestling. Between these substantial discussions, lighthearted moments emerge – from shared Krispy Kreme donut obsessions to Teddy's hilariously direct answer about what he looks for in women ("big booty").

So it should be a great, uh funtime for the next 30 minutes
(02:12):
that's how long we're here inteddy.
Uh, let's see what we got here.
We got somebody popping inalready dave ruby.
Hey, dave.
Uh, yes, best thursday nightentertainment is here.
Uh, I agree, this is myfavorite time of the week.
Really, I enjoy doing this withTeddy.
And what else we got here?

It does not, oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
He don't know who Cleavon Little is.
Y'all I know.
You see, I'm trying to tell youhe don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
He says it works.
He says it works Anyhow.
Look here, linda Hogan.
Man, she has made her way intothe news and, teddy, I didn't
know anything about this untilyou shot me a link to a video
that had come out.
Brother, that was one of thecraziest videos I have seen.
Uh, when it came to linda hogan, I you know, I'm used to seeing
(03:07):
a video like this, maybe from,uh, missy leslie, which is, um,
uh, british beefcakes wife.
I've seen her do videos likethis, but I have never seen
linda hogan doing what she did,and I want to kind of reach you
because we can't play the videohere, but I will tell you what
she was saying.
She specifically spoke about herstrange relationship with her
(03:28):
daughter, brooke Hogan,revealing that they have been
estranged for nearly a decade.
I had no idea.
She says quote, brooke doesn'ttalk to us.
She's had twins, she gotmarried.
She didn't tell us, accordingto Linda.
She further explained that amajor fallout between Brooke and
Hulk Hogan led to her alsobeing cut out.
(03:49):
She had a huge fight with Terry.
I don't know how that reflectedonto me, but she's cut me out
too.
I haven't talked to her forseven years, almost eight years
now Now, despite the family rift, linda did express gratitude
for her bond with her son, nickHogan, saying he's still such a
good boy.
She then spoke about her ongoingstruggles, particularly with
(04:12):
loneliness and the lingeringpain from her divorce, saying,
quote I'm just home by myselftoday.
Again, as usual, I'm OK withmost things, but today something
hit.
I don't know what hit, but Ilook terrible because I've been
crying.
She also criticized Hulk Hogan,calling him a complete liar and
(04:34):
a sex addict.
Even after two decades, sheadmitted she is still deeply
affected by their split, saying,quote it's been 20 years and
I'm still this sad you talkabout sad.
When you see these videos,you'll see how sad it truly is.
Teddy, when you saw this, whatwas your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I didn't even look at all of it.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh no, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It was just like I said, this is their family
business, so I'm not going toget into it.
I don't even know what I'veseen her.
I don't even know what I'veseen her.
I don't even know what I evenspoke to her.
Now, hogan may have introducedus or something, but I don't
know her.
But you know, I tell you, youknow, when you start coming out
bringing out the family business, that's not good.
(05:17):
I mean, your personal life isyour personal life.
I don't think people need toknow that, and so I don't know
what maybe triggered her tostart this or make that video,
but I to me, I just think it'sbad taste.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, I, when I saw it I was shocked, like I said,
because I've never seen thiscome from Linda.
You know she was always kind ofpretty much in the background.
You never really heard much outof her, and you know, I know
they got divorced and she endedup with a young man maybe in his
late teens, early 20s,somewhere around there.
Wasn't he the pool guy?
I think so, and so she wassupposed to be happy with this
(05:54):
new young guy and everythingelse.
And you see her now and she'slike I've been trying to tell
Terry, we can put the familyback together, we can do looking
at the video, do looking at thevideo, just looking at the
video.
I wouldn't come back.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
The man's remarried.
He's living a happily life.
He doesn't.
He doesn't, I don't know, butI'm pretty sure he doesn't want
her anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I would imagine otherwise they wouldn't have
gotten divorced.
That's how I looked at it.
So if you see that online yougot questions, bring them up on
the screen here We'll talk aboutit.
Dave Ruby.
Question for Teddy During yourtime in WWE, have you ever got a
chance to do a post-matchcelebration dance with the
superstars such as Too CoolDance or the Spinner Rooney?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I had a chance to do the Spinner Rooney with Booker T
.
I didn't get a chance to dancewith Brian God rest his soul
with Too Cool with Him but I didget a chance to do the Spinner
Rudy.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, how did you do with that?
I'm not even sure I've everseen that.
Did you do?
Good, don't lie, teddy.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I just said no, no, okay, nobody can do the Spinner,
rudy.
But Booker T, did you see Vincewhen he did that?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh, Vince was horrible.
You couldn't do worse thanVince.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I was worse than him.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh God, oh Lord, have mercy.
Let me ask you something.
Somebody asked me this theother day and I didn't know how
to answer this question, becauseI'm not sure we've ever really
discussed this before.
But when it comes to doing ribsin the back, what were some of
the best ribs that you have everseen or heard of?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I mean, you know, during your time, God, I don't
know, man, I think there was agood one One night.
We was overseas and God resthis soul.
Roddy Piper, dean Malenko, dean, something.
It was another guy, I can'tremember his last name, but he
was like an enhancement talentand he was one of them had a big
mouth, so the rib on him was.
Roddy Piper went and found allof his clothes or something and
(07:58):
he dumped all of his stuff inthe shower and wet it all up so
he couldn't work that night andhe didn't ever find out who done
that.
But that was a good rib.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What was the meanest rib that you've ever seen or
heard of?
Some of them could be mean.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I mean some of them were a rib, but some were mean,
I don't know who did this, butthey almost got Mark Henry.
Somebody made a shit sandwichand they was going to set it up
and they was going to give it toMark Henry and they almost got
away with it.
But that happened Also.
(08:34):
We were overseas also again,and I think that's when Sable
was with us or something, and Ithink somebody took a dump in
her bag dump in her bag and uh,she wanted to take the dump all
the way back to the states toget dna to see if she could find
(08:55):
out who who dumped in her bag,and uh, I.
So that that was uh prettyrough.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh god, I can just imagine, though, when it comes
to mark henry you know that'ssomething I can see Mark Henry
killing somebody over.
I mean literally.
I mean I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I don't know.
Listen, they have a lot ofnerve to want to do that because
I mean he'd hurt somebody.
Now you can't rip Mark likethat, then you shouldn't rip
anybody like that you know, it'sjust certain things you don't
do.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
No, no, and mark henry, he does have a temper.
I knocked over his sprite onetime and he gave me a look that
I knew I was dead, and inanother place and another time,
so it scared the hell out of me.
Let's see.
Bryce bordeaux definitelyappreciate the t-shirt.
Gentlemen.
Hey, bryce, we appreciate you,uh, listening to the show and uh
and happy that we could sendthat t-shirt your way.
(09:42):
Uh, for those of you who arewatching, bryce is one of our
winners from the weeklyquestions that Teddy listens to
and he picks one and that oneperson gets a t-shirt.
And, bryce, if you get a chanceand you put it on, take a
picture, send it our way.
We'd love to put it up on theshow while we're here.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Thank you, matt, you remembered that.
Thank you, golly.
Thank you, golly.
Ladies and gentlemen, y'alljust don't know what I have to
go through with him I'm talkingabout it's like babysitting.
Okay, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It was like when you were gone for a few days, you
would think, during thosepleasant great days that you had
spending time with the one youwant to spend time with.
You'd come back and be a niceguy, but you're still just a
little pissant, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Look here, teddy.
I got something else to ask youbecause I'm not sure the years
here.
I'm not one of those stat guysFor those of you who are
watching, I don't watch statsand keep up with them, it's just
not something I do.
But 24 years ago this week,teddy, was the last WCW Monday,
nitro where Shane McMahonappeared on the screen at the
(10:49):
same time Vince appeared on thescreen in WWE.
Were you working for eithercompany at that point?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I was in the WWF then .
Speaker 1 (10:59):
What were your thoughts when you saw that going
down Like were you there thatday when that happened?
Were you backstage?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well, yeah, I was there, I just saw I had, I like
I said, I didn't have a clue ofwhat, what was really going on,
you know what I mean, until itfinally popped up, but I thought
it was great.
Tv, I mean.
Here comes vince, you know,buys his rival and takes over
and stuff, you know.
Now, you know you got a feudthere between father and son,
you you know what I mean.
That's a great story.
They never did go anywhere withthat, though I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
No, but I can imagine , though in the back I mean
everybody in the back prettymuch they found out when it was
broadcast live.
Is that correct?
Yes, were a lot of the guys inthe back pissed?
Were they excited?
I mean because I've hearddifferent stories from Right,
(11:49):
Well, you know, everybody wascautious.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
you know nobody.
Like you said, nobody knows,you know.
But, like I said, stuff likethat never did bother me,
because they're going to do whatthey want to do and what's
going to happen ain't nothingyou can do about it, so why
worry about it?
Just wait on whatever theconsequences are.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Did you feel like when it was over with that,
vince was behind the invasionangle at all, or was he just
kind of giving the fans kind ofwhat they wanted with what he
could give them?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
No, he was behind it.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
But I mean, did he push it?
Did he really want that tosucceed?
Because it never came acrossthat way.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, he might have wanted to succeed and they maybe
cut it out, but you know,nothing goes on that TV without
his approval.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I think the biggest problem they had too, teddy, was
that a lot of the big stars,when that happened, their
contracts with WCW were sohealthy, they weren't about to
make a jump and take a pay cut,you know, and give up all that
money People like Sting andScott Hall, kevin Nash, people
like that.
So when they came over for thatinvasion, you really couldn't
have the invasion you wantedbecause the real stars were
(12:56):
already locked in the contracts.
There was something else I didwant to bring up to you the kid
John Cena mocked on a recent Raw.
Did you see when John Cena wentby and made fun of the kid
wearing a T-shirt and everything, calling him out?
I want to read this to you.
I got so many things onscreenshots this week today, um,
(13:17):
but according to to the kid hesays he's been he's talking
about john cena.
He's been my hero for 10 yearsnow.
He's my favorite superstar.
I paid to see him and when hepointed at me it was a source of
pride for me to know that hepointed the finger at me,
because I didn't know he wasgoing to talk down to me.
(13:39):
I understood he said toxic anddysfunctional things, but it's
not in his character, so Iunderstand.
For me, john Cena is still myhero, so the kid took it really
well, even though he got punkedby John Cena on live TV.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Well, I mean, it is what it is, okay.
And if you've seen TMZ lately,you saw Miz and he said exactly
the same thing about Cena that Itold you.
I don't know whether you sawthat or not.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
No, you'll have to send that to me.
I'd like to see that Well.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I don't have it.
I saw it live.
I was watching TMZ and theywere talking to him.
And they were talking to himabout the Cena heel turn and he
told me.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Hey, that's him.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's what I said to you, you and Bill, after he
said hey, that's exactly who heis.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yep, you're getting the real thing.
Dave Ruby saying that theinvasion angle was done wrong
and way too short in my opinion,yeah, I think a lot of people
felt that way, but again, Ithink they were just kind of
their hands were tied with whatthey could really do with what
they had.
well, I think they were justdoing something yeah, yeah, uh,
serea or page, uh, she's beenwith, I mean, aew for a couple,
(14:48):
three years now, I guess.
Now teddy, and she says thatshe's leaving.
She's done, uh, she is leavingthe company.
She didn't have anything reallybad to say about Tony
whatsoever, but, teddy, I'mgoing to tell you I watch.
You know, I watch AEWoccasionally because I do enjoy
some of the programming.
But when it came to Soraya orPaige, I almost forgot that she
(15:10):
was still working there.
She hasn't been on TV sinceOctober of last year.
You have a talent like Sorayaon your roster and I don't even
remember that she's employed byyou and she's saying that she's
leaving the company.
I can fully understand why, andmaybe we'll see her get used
again in WWE.
Would you like to see that?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I'd like to see anybody get an opportunity.
You know what I mean.
And, like I said, she's a goodwell, I've met her one time.
She seemed like she's a realnice person.
So you know, whatever happens.
You know I don't know what'sgoing on there but, like you
said, I don't watch it.
But I hope she does get theopportunity or get a chance to
show her talent again.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
And she does have.
If I'm not mistaken, she's gota brand new book that may have
just been released in the lastweek and, from what I understand
, the book is really good.
It's brutally honest about herlife and that's some of the best
reading when somebody can justtell you a story and they don't
hold back and give youeverything.
That's something that's worthreading.
(16:07):
And, by the way, teddy, weren'tyou working, or talking about
working on making a book orwriting a book?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, we were talking about that earlier, and then
the guy that was supposed tohave been doing it he kind of
you know rubbed me the wrong way, so I left him alone.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I got you.
I got you All right.
It's time for questions.
If you got some questions, youcan get those in.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
So just send them to us in the comments section below
and we'll pop them up on thescreen In the meantime let's
look into the mailbag.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
All right, teddy.
This first question comes fromAlonzo on X, who asks if you
could have done anything else asa career other than
professional wrestling.
What would you have liked tohave done?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'd have liked to have stayed in radio.
I worked for James Brown for awhile too, so I would have kind
of liked to have stayed in thatbusiness.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, that's where I can see you staying.
But you know what, teddy, Idon't know that you would have
stayed there long.
I don't think that you couldhave avoided hitting stardom
because it was.
We talk all the time aboutdifferent people and some people
have the it factor, some peopledon't.
Teddy's got one of thosepersonalities that's an it
factor.
I've been with Teddy in manyplaces.
(17:50):
We can go to restaurants.
We can go to Krispy Kreme.
We've done that once before.
Will you stop telling thepeople we eat Krispy Kreme?
But people, legitimately, arejust in love with Teddy Long.
It's a natural personality.
They see it and they attractthemselves to it.
So you know, that's just to me.
I can see you staying inentertainment of some form or
(18:10):
another.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You wouldn't have to have been.
Yeah, well, you know, like Isaid, I'm on my own now.
So you know, I've got.
You know, a lot of things Not awhole lot of things I really
want to do, but I'm really happywith what I'm doing.
You know, I had a great careerin professional wrestling.
You know, like I said, someguys, they still worry about it.
I don't worry about else that Icould even do there.
They probably don't really wantme to do anything there.
(18:34):
So that's why I say I don'tworry about it.
No more man, what aboutskydiving?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Oh no, or even these bungee jumps, I see people do.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I don't even want to jump off of some stairs.
No, isn't that funny.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Because when I was a kid, I was telling my wife this
just the other day.
When I was a kid, I was tellingmy wife this just the other day
when I was a kid I could be onthe roof and jump from the roof
to the ground.
Not even think about it.
No, my feet won't hurt.
Right now I think if I do thatI'd shatter every bone in my
body.
Yeah, yeah, all right, let'ssee.
Well, we've got some questionsgoing in here.
(19:09):
Scott Gillespie, please getRodney Mack on as a guest.
Teddy will have to try thatagain.
We've tried a couple of timeswith both he and Jazz, and we
just haven't had the dates workout for us.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Well, the last time we had him to come on, I think
Jazz had a car accident, yes,and so that messed that up, so
that was like the second time,so I just hadn't been one to
worry him or nothing.
But I'm going to be doing somemore stuff with Texas-style
wrestling TSW, and so WitchRodney and Jazz and Dog Pound
(19:42):
Championship Wrestling they're abig part of that.
So hopefully when I get togoing with them guys we can get
them back on Good.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Bryce, Bordeaux, popping in Teddy.
What was your least favoritetown to work in, whether it be
appearance, weather, traffic,food or people?
What was the worst town you hadto work in?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Well, I don't really think I had a worst town I had
to work in.
I had a town that I reallyliked to work.
I loved going to Corpus Christiand at that time you know, I
was drinking and they had thisplace in Corpus Christi called
Walter's Oyster Bar andmargaritas were one dollar and
brother, they were the best andthey had fresh seafood and what
they did if you ordered yourfish they would go because it
was right on the ocean.
They would go and catch thatand bring it back and then cook
(20:29):
and they fix it for you justright as soon as they caught it.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Oh man, yeah, You've told me that before, about those
dollar margaritas.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh, Walter's Ornstein Bar brother, it's right there
in Corpus Christi and it's stillthere.
It's been a while Maybe three,about two or three years since
I've been there, but they werestill there, oh wow, All right,

They sold them in Macon.
Okay, you remember those littledonuts they had in the pack in
Macon.

will pay for it the next day.
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's a lot of paying for that.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You eat a whole box.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Jesus Christ, you need to do cardio the rest of
the week.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
What's even worse is I do enjoy a lemon-filled donut
too.
I'll eat that lemon-filleddonut while I'm eating it, and
Boston Cream.
They're pretty good too.
Let's get back to the rest ofthe items we got.
Michael Steele.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's my good friend Michael up there.
Man, I love Mike.
Mike, good to see you.
Well, not to see you, but goodto know you checking in with us,
man.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
He says what do you think of the current state of
tag team wrestling, Missingsomething?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Uh well, I don't know , man.
The business has certainlychanged a lot, Mike, and so I
don't know what is missing,anything or not?
I don't?
You know, I've watched some.
I don't get a chance to watch awhole lot of it because it's on
Netflix, you know.
And now you know, I'm cheap, Ican't afford Netflix.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
So ask anybody Teddy's cheap.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But you know, like I said, said things have just
changed now.
So, mike and I, you know we'reold school guys, so we just
gotta, you know, go with thechange, man.
So whatever they're doing, it'sworking.
They're selling out arenas, sothat's all I can tell you.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I when it comes to tag team wrestling, I always
wonder if it's not an economicand somebody going into
wrestling.
You don't want to go in as atag team because you live and
die as that tag team in a lot ofways.
Uh, you, you can take thebaggage of somebody else.
While you can be great, yourtag team partner can be bringing
you down.
So there's a lot of negativesto being in a tag team.
(24:01):
But at the same time, I missthe true tag teams, like
steiners, people like that, whoyou know.
When you thought tag team, theseguys were a tag team, you
didn't think of them as solo.
You know people, they weresimply a tag team.
The Road Warriors a tag team.
They need to go back to doingthat, because when you throw a
(24:22):
couple of people together in acolumn of tag team, it's not the
same thing and you don't getthe same feel.
And I think that if we startbuilding long-term tag teams, we
can see a turnaround in the tagteam divisions.
I really do, but they got tocommit.
They got to commit to the teamthough.
I got you.
Let's see, joe.
Hey, nick, joe Hamilton Jr,keep on keeping play.
(24:46):
You guys are awesome.
Nick, joe Hamilton Jr, keep onkeeping playing.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You guys are awesome.
Keep it up Well, thank you somuch.
Anybody that don't know who JoeHamilton, that's the legendary
Nick Patrick, one of thegreatest referees of all time, a
man that helped me when I firststarted out in the business,
you know, a big influence in mycareer and I never will forget
me and Nick.
Me and Nick was riding one timeand some white guy cut me off
(25:09):
and I used a racial slur andNick and I took over.
At Nick I said hey, I apologize, okay, and Nick just bust out
laughing.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Nick has Deep South in Georgia a wrestling promotion
that is absolutely fantastic.
Uh, teddy and I have had thepleasure of going to some of
those shows and they put ongreat shows with great talent at
an affordable price and that'shard to find because you go to
WWE and you try to get intoWrestleMania you better have a
few thousand dollars or more inyour pocket just to walk through
(25:42):
the door.
It's bad.
Let's see Bryce Bordeauxpopping back in in hot glazed
donuts for the win.
God, now see, now I got donutson the brain now, so that's you.
I ain't studying them donutsyeah, that's because you ate the
last two days.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
That's because you've already had them.
Yeah, I've done.
I've had my two, I've done,I've done.
Bad enough all right, let's see.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I got another question we can get in here.
Zach attack on facebook whowere the true scary people in
wrestling?
Where there's some of them thatyou tried to stay away from
because you just didn't trustthem.
Hmm, oh God, you got a list ofthose.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, I'd rather move on on that question.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
No, I tell everybody, you always answer the questions
, whether we like it or not.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Well, I'll answer it you know, but there were really
nobody, that it was a lot ofpeople that you didn't trust.
You just have to know who theywere.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Look, this way you don't get in trouble, teddy.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Don't say the name of anybody, but give an example of
someone who and what they did,for the reason why you may have
stayed away from them.
Well, one reason I stayed awayfrom them was they told me stuff
in my face, but then they saidsomething else behind my back,
and I was lucky enough, for theperson that they told said it
(27:04):
behind my back came to me andtold me what they said.
You know what I mean.
So now I'm thinking, oh, wow,well, thanks for letting me know
.
So then that was anotherwake-up call right there for me
to keep your mouth shut, you,because you don't know who to
trust around here yep and andfrighteningly enough, that
happens a lot.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Uh, in the locker room there's not many people
that you can really trust andsomeone that you actually walk
away from years later saying, oh, that was a true friend.
There have only been a coupleof people I will hand my wallet
to when I went out to the ringand saying can you keep this in
your pocket until I get back?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You know just how it is In this business you have no
friends.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
No, no, no, let's see I'm going to jump to this one.
We got enough time.
Yeah, we got a couple moreminutes here.
Tamika from Gmail sent aquestion in and I like this
question here.
What does Teddy look for in awoman Big?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
booty.
Say that again Big booty, bigbooty Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
And big everywhere else, booty and ta-tas.
Yes, teddy likes them, he justlikes them big.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Booty Well, not like I'm big, I just like them plump.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
You wouldn't be able to rest your head somewhere.
Right, Exactly, I got you Allright, Teddy.
We need to pick a winner fortonight.
Who do you think is the bestquestion of this evening?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
The best question for this evening was that one.
You just asked me what do Ilike in a woman?
That's the best question forthis evening was that one.
You just asked me what do Ilike in a woman?
That's the best question.
Right there, that person gets at-shirt.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
And that is Tanika from Gmail.
So, tanika, I'll send that outto you.
Actually, I'll get in contactwith you just after we get off

We'll see you again next week.
We hope that you'll share thiswith your friends.
Tell everybody that we're hereevery Thursday night, 7 pm, and

So it should be a great, uh funtime for the next 30 minutes
(02:12):
that's how long we're here inteddy.
Uh, let's see what we got here.
We got somebody popping inalready dave ruby.
Hey, dave.
Uh, yes, best thursday nightentertainment is here.
Uh, I agree, this is myfavorite time of the week.
Really, I enjoy doing this withTeddy.
And what else we got here?
We got Dave saying Cowboys Well, it's not Cleavon Little, but
(02:32):
it works.
It does not, oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
He don't know who Cleavon Little is.
Y'all I know.
You see, I'm trying to tell youhe don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
He says it works.
He says it works Anyhow.
Look here, linda Hogan.
Man, she has made her way intothe news and, teddy, I didn't
know anything about this untilyou shot me a link to a video
that had come out.
Brother, that was one of thecraziest videos I have seen.
Uh, when it came to linda hogan, I you know, I'm used to seeing
(03:07):
a video like this, maybe from,uh, missy leslie, which is, um,
uh, british beefcakes wife.
I've seen her do videos likethis, but I have never seen
linda hogan doing what she did,and I want to kind of reach you
because we can't play the videohere, but I will tell you what
she was saying.
She specifically spoke about herstrange relationship with her
(03:28):
daughter, brooke Hogan,revealing that they have been
estranged for nearly a decade.
I had no idea.
She says quote, brooke doesn'ttalk to us.
She's had twins, she gotmarried.
She didn't tell us, accordingto Linda.
She further explained that amajor fallout between Brooke and
Hulk Hogan led to her alsobeing cut out.
(03:49):
She had a huge fight with Terry.
I don't know how that reflectedonto me, but she's cut me out
too.
I haven't talked to her forseven years, almost eight years
now Now, despite the family rift, linda did express gratitude
for her bond with her son, nickHogan, saying he's still such a
good boy.
She then spoke about her ongoingstruggles, particularly with
(04:12):
loneliness and the lingeringpain from her divorce, saying,
quote I'm just home by myselftoday.
Again, as usual, I'm OK withmost things, but today something
hit.
I don't know what hit, but Ilook terrible because I've been
crying.
She also criticized Hulk Hogan,calling him a complete liar and
(04:34):
a sex addict.
Even after two decades, sheadmitted she is still deeply
affected by their split, saying,quote it's been 20 years and
I'm still this sad you talkabout sad.
When you see these videos,you'll see how sad it truly is.
Teddy, when you saw this, whatwas your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I didn't even look at all of it.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh no, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It was just like I said, this is their family
business, so I'm not going toget into it.
I don't even know what I'veseen her.
I don't even know what I'veseen her.
I don't even know what I evenspoke to her.
Now, hogan may have introducedus or something, but I don't
know her.
But you know, I tell you, youknow, when you start coming out
bringing out the family business, that's not good.
(05:17):
I mean, your personal life isyour personal life.
I don't think people need toknow that, and so I don't know
what maybe triggered her tostart this or make that video,
but I to me, I just think it'sbad taste.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, I, when I saw it I was shocked, like I said,
because I've never seen thiscome from Linda.
You know she was always kind ofpretty much in the background.
You never really heard much outof her, and you know, I know
they got divorced and she endedup with a young man maybe in his
late teens, early 20s,somewhere around there.
Wasn't he the pool guy?
I think so, and so she wassupposed to be happy with this
(05:54):
new young guy and everythingelse.
And you see her now and she'slike I've been trying to tell
Terry, we can put the familyback together, we can do looking
at the video, do looking at thevideo, just looking at the
video.
I wouldn't come back.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
The man's remarried.
He's living a happily life.
He doesn't.
He doesn't, I don't know, butI'm pretty sure he doesn't want
her anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I would imagine otherwise they wouldn't have
gotten divorced.
That's how I looked at it.
So if you see that online yougot questions, bring them up on
the screen here We'll talk aboutit.
Dave Ruby.
Question for Teddy During yourtime in WWE, have you ever got a
chance to do a post-matchcelebration dance with the
superstars such as Too CoolDance or the Spinner Rooney?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I had a chance to do the Spinner Rooney with Booker T
.
I didn't get a chance to dancewith Brian God rest his soul
with Too Cool with Him but I didget a chance to do the Spinner
Rudy.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, how did you do with that?
I'm not even sure I've everseen that.
Did you do?
Good, don't lie, teddy.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I just said no, no, okay, nobody can do the Spinner,
rudy.
But Booker T, did you see Vincewhen he did that?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh, Vince was horrible.
You couldn't do worse thanVince.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I was worse than him.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh God, oh Lord, have mercy.
Let me ask you something.
Somebody asked me this theother day and I didn't know how
to answer this question, becauseI'm not sure we've ever really
discussed this before.
But when it comes to doing ribsin the back, what were some of
the best ribs that you have everseen or heard of?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I mean, you know, during your time, God, I don't
know, man, I think there was agood one One night.
We was overseas and God resthis soul.
Roddy Piper, dean Malenko, dean, something.
It was another guy, I can'tremember his last name, but he
was like an enhancement talentand he was one of them had a big
mouth, so the rib on him was.
Roddy Piper went and found allof his clothes or something and
(07:58):
he dumped all of his stuff inthe shower and wet it all up so
he couldn't work that night andhe didn't ever find out who done
that.
But that was a good rib.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What was the meanest rib that you've ever seen or
heard of?
Some of them could be mean.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I mean some of them were a rib, but some were mean,
I don't know who did this, butthey almost got Mark Henry.
Somebody made a shit sandwichand they was going to set it up
and they was going to give it toMark Henry and they almost got
away with it.
But that happened Also.
(08:34):
We were overseas also again,and I think that's when Sable
was with us or something, and Ithink somebody took a dump in
her bag dump in her bag and uh,she wanted to take the dump all
the way back to the states toget dna to see if she could find
(08:55):
out who who dumped in her bag,and uh, I.
So that that was uh prettyrough.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh god, I can just imagine, though, when it comes
to mark henry you know that'ssomething I can see Mark Henry
killing somebody over.
I mean literally.
I mean I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I don't know.
Listen, they have a lot ofnerve to want to do that because
I mean he'd hurt somebody.
Now you can't rip Mark likethat, then you shouldn't rip
anybody like that you know, it'sjust certain things you don't
do.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
No, no, and mark henry, he does have a temper.
I knocked over his sprite onetime and he gave me a look that
I knew I was dead, and inanother place and another time,
so it scared the hell out of me.
Let's see.
Bryce bordeaux definitelyappreciate the t-shirt.
Gentlemen.
Hey, bryce, we appreciate you,uh, listening to the show and uh
and happy that we could sendthat t-shirt your way.
(09:42):
Uh, for those of you who arewatching, bryce is one of our
winners from the weeklyquestions that Teddy listens to
and he picks one and that oneperson gets a t-shirt.
And, bryce, if you get a chanceand you put it on, take a
picture, send it our way.
We'd love to put it up on theshow while we're here.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Thank you, matt, you remembered that.
Thank you, golly.
Thank you, golly.
Ladies and gentlemen, y'alljust don't know what I have to
go through with him I'm talkingabout it's like babysitting.
Okay, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It was like when you were gone for a few days, you
would think, during thosepleasant great days that you had
spending time with the one youwant to spend time with.
You'd come back and be a niceguy, but you're still just a
little pissant, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Look here, teddy.
I got something else to ask youbecause I'm not sure the years
here.
I'm not one of those stat guysFor those of you who are
watching, I don't watch statsand keep up with them, it's just
not something I do.
But 24 years ago this week,teddy, was the last WCW Monday,
nitro where Shane McMahonappeared on the screen at the
(10:49):
same time Vince appeared on thescreen in WWE.
Were you working for eithercompany at that point?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I was in the WWF then .
Speaker 1 (10:59):
What were your thoughts when you saw that going
down Like were you there thatday when that happened?
Were you backstage?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well, yeah, I was there, I just saw I had, I like
I said, I didn't have a clue ofwhat, what was really going on,
you know what I mean, until itfinally popped up, but I thought
it was great.
Tv, I mean.
Here comes vince, you know,buys his rival and takes over
and stuff, you know.
Now, you know you got a feudthere between father and son,
you you know what I mean.
That's a great story.
They never did go anywhere withthat, though I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
No, but I can imagine , though in the back I mean
everybody in the back prettymuch they found out when it was
broadcast live.
Is that correct?
Yes, were a lot of the guys inthe back pissed?
Were they excited?
I mean because I've hearddifferent stories from Right,
(11:49):
Well, you know, everybody wascautious.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
you know nobody.
Like you said, nobody knows,you know.
But, like I said, stuff likethat never did bother me,
because they're going to do whatthey want to do and what's
going to happen ain't nothingyou can do about it, so why
worry about it?
Just wait on whatever theconsequences are.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Did you feel like when it was over with that,
vince was behind the invasionangle at all, or was he just
kind of giving the fans kind ofwhat they wanted with what he
could give them?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
No, he was behind it.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
But I mean, did he push it?
Did he really want that tosucceed?
Because it never came acrossthat way.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, he might have wanted to succeed and they maybe
cut it out, but you know,nothing goes on that TV without
his approval.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I think the biggest problem they had too, teddy, was
that a lot of the big stars,when that happened, their
contracts with WCW were sohealthy, they weren't about to
make a jump and take a pay cut,you know, and give up all that
money People like Sting andScott Hall, kevin Nash, people
like that.
So when they came over for thatinvasion, you really couldn't
have the invasion you wantedbecause the real stars were
(12:56):
already locked in the contracts.
There was something else I didwant to bring up to you the kid
John Cena mocked on a recent Raw.
Did you see when John Cena wentby and made fun of the kid
wearing a T-shirt and everything, calling him out?
I want to read this to you.
I got so many things onscreenshots this week today, um,
(13:17):
but according to to the kid hesays he's been he's talking
about john cena.
He's been my hero for 10 yearsnow.
He's my favorite superstar.
I paid to see him and when hepointed at me it was a source of
pride for me to know that hepointed the finger at me,
because I didn't know he wasgoing to talk down to me.
(13:39):
I understood he said toxic anddysfunctional things, but it's
not in his character, so Iunderstand.
For me, john Cena is still myhero, so the kid took it really
well, even though he got punkedby John Cena on live TV.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Well, I mean, it is what it is, okay.
And if you've seen TMZ lately,you saw Miz and he said exactly
the same thing about Cena that Itold you.
I don't know whether you sawthat or not.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
No, you'll have to send that to me.
I'd like to see that Well.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I don't have it.
I saw it live.
I was watching TMZ and theywere talking to him.
And they were talking to himabout the Cena heel turn and he
told me.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Hey, that's him.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's what I said to you, you and Bill, after he
said hey, that's exactly who heis.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yep, you're getting the real thing.
Dave Ruby saying that theinvasion angle was done wrong
and way too short in my opinion,yeah, I think a lot of people
felt that way, but again, Ithink they were just kind of
their hands were tied with whatthey could really do with what
they had.
well, I think they were justdoing something yeah, yeah, uh,
serea or page, uh, she's beenwith, I mean, aew for a couple,
(14:48):
three years now, I guess.
Now teddy, and she says thatshe's leaving.
She's done, uh, she is leavingthe company.
She didn't have anything reallybad to say about Tony
whatsoever, but, teddy, I'mgoing to tell you I watch.
You know, I watch AEWoccasionally because I do enjoy
some of the programming.
But when it came to Soraya orPaige, I almost forgot that she
(15:10):
was still working there.
She hasn't been on TV sinceOctober of last year.
You have a talent like Sorayaon your roster and I don't even
remember that she's employed byyou and she's saying that she's
leaving the company.
I can fully understand why, andmaybe we'll see her get used
again in WWE.
Would you like to see that?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I'd like to see anybody get an opportunity.
You know what I mean.
And, like I said, she's a goodwell, I've met her one time.
She seemed like she's a realnice person.
So you know, whatever happens.
You know I don't know what'sgoing on there but, like you
said, I don't watch it.
But I hope she does get theopportunity or get a chance to
show her talent again.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
And she does have.
If I'm not mistaken, she's gota brand new book that may have
just been released in the lastweek and, from what I understand
, the book is really good.
It's brutally honest about herlife and that's some of the best
reading when somebody can justtell you a story and they don't
hold back and give youeverything.
That's something that's worthreading.
(16:07):
And, by the way, teddy, weren'tyou working, or talking about
working on making a book orwriting a book?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, we were talking about that earlier, and then
the guy that was supposed tohave been doing it he kind of
you know rubbed me the wrong way, so I left him alone.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I got you.
I got you All right.
It's time for questions.
If you got some questions, youcan get those in.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
So just send them to us in the comments section below
and we'll pop them up on thescreen In the meantime let's
look into the mailbag.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
All right, teddy.
This first question comes fromAlonzo on X, who asks if you
could have done anything else asa career other than
professional wrestling.
What would you have liked tohave done?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'd have liked to have stayed in radio.
I worked for James Brown for awhile too, so I would have kind
of liked to have stayed in thatbusiness.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, that's where I can see you staying.
But you know what, teddy, Idon't know that you would have
stayed there long.
I don't think that you couldhave avoided hitting stardom
because it was.
We talk all the time aboutdifferent people and some people
have the it factor, some peopledon't.
Teddy's got one of thosepersonalities that's an it
factor.
I've been with Teddy in manyplaces.
(17:50):
We can go to restaurants.
We can go to Krispy Kreme.
We've done that once before.
Will you stop telling thepeople we eat Krispy Kreme?
But people, legitimately, arejust in love with Teddy Long.
It's a natural personality.
They see it and they attractthemselves to it.
So you know, that's just to me.
I can see you staying inentertainment of some form or
(18:10):
another.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You wouldn't have to have been.
Yeah, well, you know, like Isaid, I'm on my own now.
So you know, I've got.
You know, a lot of things Not awhole lot of things I really
want to do, but I'm really happywith what I'm doing.
You know, I had a great careerin professional wrestling.
You know, like I said, someguys, they still worry about it.
I don't worry about else that Icould even do there.
They probably don't really wantme to do anything there.
(18:34):
So that's why I say I don'tworry about it.
No more man, what aboutskydiving?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Oh no, or even these bungee jumps, I see people do.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I don't even want to jump off of some stairs.
No, isn't that funny.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Because when I was a kid, I was telling my wife this
just the other day.
When I was a kid, I was tellingmy wife this just the other day
when I was a kid I could be onthe roof and jump from the roof
to the ground.
Not even think about it.
No, my feet won't hurt.
Right now I think if I do thatI'd shatter every bone in my
body.
Yeah, yeah, all right, let'ssee.
Well, we've got some questionsgoing in here.
(19:09):
Scott Gillespie, please getRodney Mack on as a guest.
Teddy will have to try thatagain.
We've tried a couple of timeswith both he and Jazz, and we
just haven't had the dates workout for us.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Well, the last time we had him to come on, I think
Jazz had a car accident, yes,and so that messed that up, so
that was like the second time,so I just hadn't been one to
worry him or nothing.
But I'm going to be doing somemore stuff with Texas-style
wrestling TSW, and so WitchRodney and Jazz and Dog Pound
(19:42):
Championship Wrestling they're abig part of that.
So hopefully when I get togoing with them guys we can get
them back on Good.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Bryce, Bordeaux, popping in Teddy.
What was your least favoritetown to work in, whether it be
appearance, weather, traffic,food or people?
What was the worst town you hadto work in?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Well, I don't really think I had a worst town I had
to work in.
I had a town that I reallyliked to work.
I loved going to Corpus Christiand at that time you know, I
was drinking and they had thisplace in Corpus Christi called
Walter's Oyster Bar andmargaritas were one dollar and
brother, they were the best andthey had fresh seafood and what
they did if you ordered yourfish they would go because it
was right on the ocean.
They would go and catch thatand bring it back and then cook
(20:29):
and they fix it for you justright as soon as they caught it.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Oh man, yeah, You've told me that before, about those
dollar margaritas.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh, Walter's Ornstein Bar brother, it's right there
in Corpus Christi and it's stillthere.
It's been a while Maybe three,about two or three years since
I've been there, but they werestill there, oh wow, All right,
let's see Scott Gillespieanother one of our T-shirt
winners.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
He should be getting his T-shirt soon.
Now, too, Y'all needs to trySouthern Made Hot Donuts in
Shreveport, Louisiana Delicious.
Have you ever had a SouthernMade Hot Donut?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I've had some donuts like that that used to sell Mac.
You'll remember this.
They sold them in Macon.
Okay, you remember those littledonuts they had in the pack in
Macon.
I can't think of the name ofthem, but they were really hot
oh man, yeah, macon Georgia.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Boy, that's been a while too.
Yes, oh man, I know what you'retalking about.
Nobody else will, but I do.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
That's one of those regional things.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
But yeah, I was always a big Krispy Kreme donut
guy.
That was always my go-to.
It was over Dunkin' Donuts.
I like Krispy Kreme.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, I'll take Krispy Kreme over any donut.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Oh yeah, Ain't no match for.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Krispy Kreme.
In fact, bringing that up, Iwas like this past weekend Well,
not this weekend this is theweekend.
This past Monday and Tuesday, Iwas in South Carolina and I had
a chance to stop and get someKrispy Kreme.
Well, my friend got some, andso I had a chance to eat two of
them.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Two, two.
He ate the entire box, theentire box.
What kind of donuts were they?
Glazed, just glazed.
That's the kind you like.
You just like a glazed donut.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, well, I ate two of them and I pushed them away.
I had to get away from thembecause they're like crack
cocaine.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Now you have to do Ask my wife, She'll go out and
buy a dozen crispy cream donutsjust the glaze like Teddy's
talking about.
I can eat that entire box in aday without a problem, but I
will pay for it the next day.
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's a lot of paying for that.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You eat a whole box.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Jesus Christ, you need to do cardio the rest of
the week.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
What's even worse is I do enjoy a lemon-filled donut
too.
I'll eat that lemon-filleddonut while I'm eating it, and
Boston Cream.
They're pretty good too.
Let's get back to the rest ofthe items we got.
Michael Steele.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's my good friend Michael up there.
Man, I love Mike.
Mike, good to see you.
Well, not to see you, but goodto know you checking in with us,
man.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
He says what do you think of the current state of
tag team wrestling, Missingsomething?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Uh well, I don't know , man.
The business has certainlychanged a lot, Mike, and so I
don't know what is missing,anything or not?
I don't?
You know, I've watched some.
I don't get a chance to watch awhole lot of it because it's on
Netflix, you know.
And now you know, I'm cheap, Ican't afford Netflix.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
So ask anybody Teddy's cheap.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But you know, like I said, said things have just
changed now.
So, mike and I, you know we'reold school guys, so we just
gotta, you know, go with thechange, man.
So whatever they're doing, it'sworking.
They're selling out arenas, sothat's all I can tell you.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I when it comes to tag team wrestling, I always
wonder if it's not an economicand somebody going into
wrestling.
You don't want to go in as atag team because you live and
die as that tag team in a lot ofways.
Uh, you, you can take thebaggage of somebody else.
While you can be great, yourtag team partner can be bringing
you down.
So there's a lot of negativesto being in a tag team.
(24:01):
But at the same time, I missthe true tag teams, like
steiners, people like that, whoyou know.
When you thought tag team, theseguys were a tag team, you
didn't think of them as solo.
You know people, they weresimply a tag team.
The Road Warriors a tag team.
They need to go back to doingthat, because when you throw a
(24:22):
couple of people together in acolumn of tag team, it's not the
same thing and you don't getthe same feel.
And I think that if we startbuilding long-term tag teams, we
can see a turnaround in the tagteam divisions.
I really do, but they got tocommit.
They got to commit to the teamthough.
I got you.
Let's see, joe.
Hey, nick, joe Hamilton Jr,keep on keeping play.
(24:46):
You guys are awesome.
Nick, joe Hamilton Jr, keep onkeeping playing.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You guys are awesome.
Keep it up Well, thank you somuch.
Anybody that don't know who JoeHamilton, that's the legendary
Nick Patrick, one of thegreatest referees of all time, a
man that helped me when I firststarted out in the business,
you know, a big influence in mycareer and I never will forget
me and Nick.
Me and Nick was riding one timeand some white guy cut me off
(25:09):
and I used a racial slur andNick and I took over.
At Nick I said hey, I apologize, okay, and Nick just bust out
laughing.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Nick has Deep South in Georgia a wrestling promotion
that is absolutely fantastic.
Uh, teddy and I have had thepleasure of going to some of
those shows and they put ongreat shows with great talent at
an affordable price and that'shard to find because you go to
WWE and you try to get intoWrestleMania you better have a
few thousand dollars or more inyour pocket just to walk through
(25:42):
the door.
It's bad.
Let's see Bryce Bordeauxpopping back in in hot glazed
donuts for the win.
God, now see, now I got donutson the brain now, so that's you.
I ain't studying them donutsyeah, that's because you ate the
last two days.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
That's because you've already had them.
Yeah, I've done.
I've had my two, I've done,I've done.
Bad enough all right, let's see.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I got another question we can get in here.
Zach attack on facebook whowere the true scary people in
wrestling?
Where there's some of them thatyou tried to stay away from
because you just didn't trustthem.
Hmm, oh God, you got a list ofthose.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, I'd rather move on on that question.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
No, I tell everybody, you always answer the questions
, whether we like it or not.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Well, I'll answer it you know, but there were really
nobody, that it was a lot ofpeople that you didn't trust.
You just have to know who theywere.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Look, this way you don't get in trouble, teddy.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Don't say the name of anybody, but give an example of
someone who and what they did,for the reason why you may have
stayed away from them.
Well, one reason I stayed awayfrom them was they told me stuff
in my face, but then they saidsomething else behind my back,
and I was lucky enough, for theperson that they told said it
(27:04):
behind my back came to me andtold me what they said.
You know what I mean.
So now I'm thinking, oh, wow,well, thanks for letting me know
.
So then that was anotherwake-up call right there for me
to keep your mouth shut, you,because you don't know who to
trust around here yep and andfrighteningly enough, that
happens a lot.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Uh, in the locker room there's not many people
that you can really trust andsomeone that you actually walk
away from years later saying, oh, that was a true friend.
There have only been a coupleof people I will hand my wallet
to when I went out to the ringand saying can you keep this in
your pocket until I get back?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You know just how it is In this business you have no
friends.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
No, no, no, let's see I'm going to jump to this one.
We got enough time.
Yeah, we got a couple moreminutes here.
Tamika from Gmail sent aquestion in and I like this
question here.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
booty.
Say that again Big booty, bigbooty Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
And big everywhere else, booty and ta-tas.
Yes, teddy likes them, he justlikes them big.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Booty Well, not like I'm big, I just like them plump.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
You wouldn't be able to rest your head somewhere.
Right, Exactly, I got you Allright, Teddy.
We need to pick a winner fortonight.
Who do you think is the bestquestion of this evening?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
The best question for this evening was that one.
You just asked me what do Ilike in a woman?
That's the best question forthis evening was that one.
You just asked me what do Ilike in a woman?
That's the best question.
Right there, that person gets at-shirt.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
And that is Tanika from Gmail.
So, tanika, I'll send that outto you.
Actually, I'll get in contactwith you just after we get off
