00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:04.759
What's up everyone at Zach Clayton, and I'm pumped to
2
00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:08.199
introduce you to my podcast, Prestige Access. Let's get to work.
3
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:10.000
Let's get to work. Let's get to work. Let's get
4
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:14.320
to work. Let's get to it. Mike, what's up, my man?
5
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.199
It's been a little bit since it's just you and
6
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.440
I in studio. How you been good?
7
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:20.960
Man? Can't well, I can't complain. And it's this snow.
8
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.600
I'm looking out the window. There's still twelve inches over there,
9
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.280
and we just added a few last night.
10
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:25.960
I know.
11
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:28.960
Talk about ruining your mental health. Like, I just want
12
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.119
warm weather. Man, Me and my daughter were she wrote
13
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.880
it down forty two degrees, which it is today, and
14
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:36.960
we could go out and run. The problem is, like
15
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.520
obviously the road conditions. I don't need her slipping and
16
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.960
now having a memory of running and getting injured or
17
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.439
anything like that. But yeah, it's been stressful.
18
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:46.600
Man.
19
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.920
We're on a great run running and now it's just
20
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.399
been every day ice snow.
21
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.679
I agree to go away. Yeah, yeah, you made a
22
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.039
didn't she make like a rule with you that if
23
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.439
it's over forty you have to go out exactly?
24
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.960
Yeah we do. Yeah, we've been holding ourselves to that. Unfortunately,
25
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.000
there's almost two weeks where we didn't.
26
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:06.879
Hit the teams.
27
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.640
Bro, it's been so stressful, you know, so that that sucks.
28
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.560
We are working on I don't know. I guess you're
29
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.760
the wrong person, ass, because you started lifting like thirteen
30
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.879
years old, right eleven, Bro, Like, I'm scared. I got
31
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.079
my ass kicked on a treadmill once, like when I
32
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.799
was in middle school or whatever, So you know, I
33
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.359
want to get her on a treadmill, but I'm very
34
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:39.000
cautious right now. Like, yeah, well, outdoors is better anyway.
35
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.159
You can't beat that incline. Also, it helps with your breathing.
36
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.280
I conquered asthma running outside, so I think a lot
37
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.120
of things. And and also when I run outside, I
38
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.480
don't get sick like because I guess like just your
39
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:53.640
immune system grows.
40
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.280
So that's right. Well, it just makes everything so much.
41
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.439
The cold air especially is really good for your lungs
42
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.359
actually to help fight off the sickness and illness, isn't it.
43
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.920
And it does make you stronger. Actually, the avioli on
44
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.599
your lungs, it really helps the cold there. It's really
45
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.680
beneficial actually, just like the heat binding proteins you build
46
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.919
if you're in the sauna, So the cold has effect too.
47
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:16.719
That's positive.
48
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:22.400
So you know what's stressful for me? And we'll get
49
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.520
into it because it just got triggered. We were going
50
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.360
through our show notes before we started, and I noticed
51
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.599
there's a lot of dms that are wild and inappropriate
52
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.960
and just out of this world. Hey, ask Zach this question.
53
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.560
I was like, I'm not asking them that question. And
54
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.199
it's just like, so I can only imagine the little
55
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.599
dose that I get into your world of what your
56
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.439
dms look like.
57
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.240
But the yeah, reason actually, man, let me just start
58
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:52.159
it inter rupt but like, yeah, and I can see you.
59
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.520
I can imagine what you get because I live it.
60
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.280
But the amount of people that ask me you're not
61
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.879
going to guess this, but like it's real. The amount
62
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.240
of people that ask me if they can buy my
63
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:17.680
unwashed used ring gear, it's astonishing. Yeah, and a lot
64
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.319
of them are men. I'm not gonna lie.
65
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.319
I imagine imagine like look if it's if it's tops
66
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.360
or one of these memorabilia things like that, that would
67
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.919
be freaking epic. Actually, I met a guy and we
68
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.000
were talking about working that out one day to do
69
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.560
something like that. His name is Jordan Spector. He actually
70
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.719
does a lot of the Philadelphia athletes and I was like, yo, dude,
71
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:45.000
I got you know my co host that I do Exactly. Yeah,
72
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.280
that would be freaking awesome, right, like cut up some
73
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.400
ring ring gear and put it in the cards.
74
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.639
With the night I won the a c W title
75
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:52.080
behind me.
76
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.960
Exactly, bro, exactly So yeah.
77
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:57.280
No.
78
00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.360
So some of these questions, I've been out of this
79
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.319
world a few of them. Like I noticed there was
80
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.960
a guy in my DMS that works with me and
81
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.919
he was asking about like ozempic and stuff like that,
82
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.560
and like all what he should do. Well, it turns
83
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.000
out it looks like he took that path, because the
84
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.160
dude looks like a rail now, like it's just been wild.
85
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.600
And I'm like, hey, I know I'm on this path,
86
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.560
and i know I'm getting healthier and I'm doing it
87
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.879
the right way. But man, is that so deflating to
88
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.600
see a guy literally take a shot no pun intended
89
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.279
and outperforming now and people are like, he look great,
90
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.000
you look awesome. What's your secret? And I'm like, I
91
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.439
know his secret, he DM me.
92
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.720
Well, it's almost like the you know, the people on
93
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.639
steroids like outperform and get the get they get it.
94
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.759
You know, I had to work since I was eleven
95
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.040
years old for a lot of for what I look like.
96
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.519
I've never done any pds in my life. And some
97
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.879
coworkers of mine, of course, get, oh, look at him,
98
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.560
I look really good, right, But then there's like a
99
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.879
level of steroids. Right. But it's like, yeah, well he
100
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.160
did this to get that, and that's what you're talking about.
101
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.199
It's not the grind, the hard work, the effort. It's well,
102
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:07.360
he did something for it.
103
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.920
And I do think like that in medicine is meant
104
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.959
for somebody who is diabetic or is like, yeah, it
105
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:16.959
needs it, but.
106
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.480
No, for sure, if you need it, it could save
107
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.639
your life actually, which is the purpose and the use
108
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.000
for it. But but yeah, I mean you going outside
109
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.079
and making the time regardless, it's super important. I know
110
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.079
last weekend it was really tough though, because it was
111
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.519
literally minus twenty here in Jersey last weekend. But then
112
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.759
we keep getting hit with snow. It's out of character
113
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:45.399
for us, really. But the ozempic stuff is crazy, man,
114
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.959
It's out of control, and it took over like more
115
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:52.199
than half of the Super Bowl commercials last week. Yeah, yeah,
116
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.680
it's crazy. Yeah.
117
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.160
You saw DJ Khaled who went on record probably two
118
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.279
or three years ago saying he doesn't want to lose
119
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.600
weight because he all he does is win. Now he's
120
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.319
winning with that paycheck because that sponsorship has to be tremendous.
121
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:06.839
Uh.
122
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.639
You know all these athletes Keenan Thompson like you know,
123
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.639
and and in the message was hey, if if there
124
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.000
was a pill that did your job for you, would
125
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.000
you take it? And like so it's like just telling
126
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.600
people to take the easy way out. If there was
127
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:20.839
a pill for this, would you do it?
128
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:21.160
I know?
129
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.319
It's yeah, it's wild.
130
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.519
Was it was it Rick Ross? Who who in the
131
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.480
last like decade, Maybe it was Khalid that just went
132
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:37.439
on a huge weight loss journey. Was only Kalid?
133
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.839
No, he's still big. So I think this is gonna
134
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.480
be I bet you bye.
135
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.720
By the way. With Almond milk, it was like an
136
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.879
Almond milk jingle. Dude, I'm telling you, I.
137
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.720
Know Jelly Roll has lost that's gonna wait.
138
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.240
Yeah, Well he's been working with Gary Breka, right right.
139
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.959
That's cool. That's really cool, and watching him on Instagram
140
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.759
and all these other social platforms, like really working out
141
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:04.680
to get there.
142
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.079
He was training for like when he had the match
143
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.439
with WW he actually trained for it. Yeah, and he
144
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.879
was just he did an appearance at TNA over the weekend.
145
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.680
So he's a wrestling fan too, which is really cool.
146
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:23.199
But yeah, man, look, I'm obviously all for people getting healthy,
147
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.759
but I want you to do it the right way.
148
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:32.680
I don't condone any I don't like anything, Like Jenny
149
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.399
says all the time, it's like you don't like any
150
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.360
because I don't like advil. I don't like anything. I
151
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.040
just think I just think you can get better. You
152
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.600
don't need this stuff. It's all new. Really. If you
153
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.480
look at like a prescription, you ever seen a prescription
154
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.480
for a head cold from like the fifties, it's a
155
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.040
joke because it's actually like, maybe we shouldn't have been
156
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.079
doing that, but it's whiskey. It's a shot of whiskey.
157
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.519
It's a shot of lemon juice and a shot of
158
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.360
warm honey all mixed together, and like that was what
159
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.800
they would write you back, yo, alcohol, we have been
160
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:09.279
prescribing alcohol, I don't know, probably not, but.
161
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.959
With kids with their like gum when they're like rub
162
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.959
whiskey on their gums, right, and they're like they'll be fine.
163
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.560
It's like, yeah, they're drunk, bro, that's right, that's right.
164
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.279
But like all these medicines, man, I don't I don't like.
165
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.920
I don't like anything. I just think the better ways
166
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.920
to handle business you could do it naturally. I like, like,
167
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.480
right now, actually have some lemon water over there with
168
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:34.679
some electrolytes and BCAAs because I'm feeling a little bit
169
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.200
under the weather because it sucks here in New Jersey.
170
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.919
But yeah, you know, I don't like. I don't think
171
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.320
we need to be drinking down dakewell all day, you know.
172
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:47.000
I just there's better ways to handle things. Yeah.
173
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.440
My least favorite thing is during the holidays, like we're
174
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.879
in and out of people's houses. They maybe they smoke,
175
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.399
maybe they got cats, maybe they have dogs. So like
176
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.279
people just think, oh, tough en up, have a benadrol. Dude.
177
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.600
When I take a benadrol, I feel like I'm on,
178
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.440
I'm out of this world. Like it's like, yeah, I'm
179
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:08.440
really bad, Like I'm allergic to everything you know under
180
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.799
the sun. And but things that really triggered me still
181
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.240
are like cats, dogs, smoking, like those are the three.
182
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.440
If they're involved, I'm wheezing them cough and I'm whatever,
183
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:23.039
take a benader great, I have less symptoms. But literally,
184
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.159
my nephew threw like one of the like a nerf
185
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.440
ball at me or whatever, and I couldn't react to
186
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.879
hit me in the head, like in the face, and
187
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.360
I just I just sat there like I couldn't. Like
188
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.080
you were so out of your brain, like I can't
189
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.320
describe it. There's no other feeling in the world worse
190
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.240
than me on benadru and I hate it.
191
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.600
I didn't know you were allergic to cats. Yeah, I'm
192
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:46.320
a cat guy.
193
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:47.960
Yeah, I'm sorry.
194
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:49.960
Now, dude, I love cats.
195
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.159
Yeah, I dude. I love dogs like you know, and I.
196
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.399
Had a dog. I have had dogs my entire life.
197
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:01.799
But when my last one past, he was he just
198
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.360
actually broke my heart, like in a trillion pieces, and
199
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.799
I don't know I had to. We got cats, you know,
200
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.200
And now I love the cats, so that's awesome.
201
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.720
Yeah, my brother has both, you know, but much like you,
202
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:15.799
like you know, there are some cat owners where you
203
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:17.639
could smell it on their jacket, you could smell it
204
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.279
on them. They are a part of that. And being
205
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.840
allergic even just rubbing up on those people like does
206
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.279
affect me eventually.
207
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.639
But if I wonder if I've ever had like no, no, yeah.
208
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.639
I've never. I do it, and I have a pretty
209
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.000
good known feeling for people that that's good. Yeah, like
210
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.840
it's it's pretty bad. Like I can tell when I'm like,
211
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.879
oh shit, you have a cat.
212
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:42.679
Well that's good. I don't want to be a cat
213
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.480
guy already. You know like that, you know what I mean? Like,
214
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:49.759
what are those cat people? That's so maybe I would
215
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.440
Maybe I can give the underwear sniffer people another reason
216
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:55.279
I'll buy my stuff.
217
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.399
I don't know cat litter know.
218
00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:00.279
Yeah, I don't know. Man. Maybe I'll start him at a
219
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:01.679
price and see if they go for it.
220
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.159
I don't know if this fails, man, Yeah, we got
221
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.240
we got another avenue of revenue. We got to get
222
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:07.519
Daniel on the phone.
223
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.840
And say, no, they might. I don't know.
224
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:10.639
I don't know.
225
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.440
I'll happily do it. I don't care. You guys want
226
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:21.200
my you guys want my sweaty trunks. That's gross, dude.
227
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.200
I want to I want to. Yeah, I want to
228
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.279
share something with you that you know. I saw what
229
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.679
happened yesterday and I thought it was pretty cool. Anthony
230
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.120
Kim who had it was an amazing, amazing pro golfer. Uh,
231
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:38.039
you know, unfortunately had a battle with alcohol, pills and
232
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.879
all this other stuff, almost lost his life, you know,
233
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.919
bounced bounced back at forty years old to win a
234
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:50.840
live championship tournament, which is tremendous. Credits. Yeah, he credits
235
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:55.200
his daughter, his family, and just his overall change of life.
236
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.679
You know, I think there's so many people that are
237
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.159
afraid to share their stories and you don't really get
238
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.039
to see that many, but talk about a redemption story
239
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:08.120
and a half. It's just really cool. And everything we've
240
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.600
been doing on this journeys, as you know, we've been
241
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.840
we've witnessed success stories and it's made us feel good.
242
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.759
But to see one on the grandest stage of it all,
243
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:23.200
you know, at a championship match is is just awesome.
244
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.519
And you know, I wanted to get your thoughts on
245
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.120
that and overall feelings towards.
246
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.559
That he's you said, he's forty.
247
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:32.200
Yeah, he just turned forty.
248
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:36.600
And how long when did he become sober?
249
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:42.240
So around his daughter's birthday and she's twelve years old now,
250
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:44.679
oh great, yeah, yeah, So.
251
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.200
Well you know that that anytime you can do it
252
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.159
in your life, but especially once you get older, you know,
253
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:55.399
sort of to unfortunately, what is now the halfway point?
254
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.600
You know, which which sucks? That's that's a conversation. We
255
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.879
can have two, but like I don't you know, we
256
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.080
don't know. Some say we're going to live to one
257
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.559
hundred and twenty and then our life expectancy is still
258
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.879
seventy three in the US, So we don't know, but
259
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.320
we know more often than not about forty is halfway
260
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.480
and any time you could turn your life around at
261
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:22.279
that point is phenomenal in any capacity. But to have
262
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.559
a story like that is is so great to hear.
263
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:29.399
Yeah, he said he had three options. It was played
264
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.519
with the PGA, play with live, or never play golf again. Right,
265
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.720
and he's so happy he picked the avenue he did.
266
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.559
His body is clearly scarred by the decisions he made
267
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.120
in his life, so you could see like there's a
268
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:47.879
lot of issues, but he came back and is playing
269
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.399
on an elite level, which is you know, not many
270
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.279
people get to do that. I think of Doc goodin
271
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.799
with the Mets, and that was somebody as a kid
272
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.159
that I idolized. And then all of a sudden, my dad
273
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:58.919
had to explain to me, like why he was no
274
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.240
longer a met was because he had these demons and
275
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.360
he's fighting, you know, addiction issues, and he's had his
276
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.279
ups and downs, but he was able to go back
277
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.639
to the other side, your side, the Yankees throw a
278
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.320
no hitter, win a world series, do some amazing stuff
279
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.720
with with the Bronx, And honestly, like you know, I
280
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:19.960
was happy for him knowing that, but as a kid,
281
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.399
I was just angry that he was no longer met
282
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.519
because I didn't fully understand it. But now knowing Doc's
283
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:29.120
whole story, it's pretty dope. And this reminded me of that,
284
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.399
Like how there is You know, wherever you are, you
285
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:34.799
could always get somewhere else. And I think that's really
286
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.799
the moral of this pod is right, like, wherever you are,
287
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.679
we're going to help you get to a better version
288
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:39.879
of that.
289
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:47.759
Yeah, the real New York Team. By the way, we listen, man,
290
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.840
we have listeners, people who follow us all over. Our
291
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.039
listeners want to get better. We have people that care
292
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.480
to be better and get better and help other people
293
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:00.679
get better. And it's never too late to do that.
294
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.039
Whether you're a pro athlete in this case, that we're
295
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.960
talking about now a person in the spotlight of any
296
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.360
kind or just someone who's a regular person not in
297
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.399
the spotlight, which is often harder because you don't have
298
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.480
as many people to turn to and you do, and
299
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.960
especially coming That's why we wanted to make a platform
300
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.399
like this, Like, you're not alone going through those struggles.
301
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.799
Nobody is, and even at the highest level, those problems
302
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.159
still exist. So in this case, I'm glad you brought
303
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.480
it up. I mean, we just had a great talk
304
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.919
with Valley Spring those guys. I mean, we just talked
305
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:41.639
about this. Right, everyone goes through it. You're not alone,
306
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.480
and there's always a way to help and get better
307
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.159
and be better. You have to be around people that
308
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:47.120
can help you get there.
309
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.440
Amen, dude. Amen. And I was glad to share this
310
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.279
story with you too, because Live Golf is now secondary
311
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:59.039
to the PGA, right, and I think about TNA and
312
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:04.000
aw allow you to have more access and more abilities
313
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.600
to show your superpower and be a pro wrestler, you know.
314
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.000
So it took me back to you and your family
315
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.639
on the aw ring celebrating, right, Like, so, yeah, those
316
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.240
moments are awesome, and I feel like the longer, you know,
317
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.559
the more opportunities out there for professional sports, whether it
318
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.879
be male, female, the better. So having an alternative to
319
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:32.080
the PGA that allowed this gentleman to live out and
320
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.159
accomplish something that he could be proud of is you know,
321
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:37.279
really cool. When to share that with his family on
322
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:38.679
that stage is awesome?
323
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.360
Is it because he wasn't the PGA wouldn't let him?
324
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:43.600
Is that the reason I think.
325
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:45.519
I think he would have went. I think he definitely
326
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:47.399
would have went to the PGA. It's just the question
327
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.399
of if if you would have gotten to where he
328
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.639
is so allowing, you know, it's it's very hard. We
329
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.600
have Brendan Matthews, that's a friend of a podcast that
330
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.080
we were swinging and ding at Jeff's pod. His wife, Danielle.
331
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.000
Brendan got injured and he's like trying to get his
332
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.920
card back to be in the PGA. He's a freaking
333
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.240
amazing golfer and he can't get back in, you know,
334
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:11.880
and he's getting there. He's going to get back in
335
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:14.119
and he's going to figure out a way to get back.
336
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.000
But yeah, he had back issues and all of a sudden,
337
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.920
like you know, you went had a surgery. He's feeling good,
338
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.200
and he's able to compete again. But now he's got
339
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.319
to go back and it's like starting from the Indies
340
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.759
all the way up, golf has always been protected. And
341
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.559
then also like it's it. The PGA is kind of
342
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.160
I mean, it's changed, but it was kind of like
343
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.400
the WWE where they didn't want to give people second chances,
344
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.079
so they might have just been like, no, what you
345
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.759
did in twenty ten, see, you're never coming back. So
346
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:49.160
the fact that he had options allowed ability to come back.
347
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.880
When you have one company running one thing, like I think, yeah,
348
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:53.680
it's good.
349
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:58.160
It's all look competition and now we use the word
350
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:03.200
alternative because it's nice, but really it's competition is really
351
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.279
good for everybody because it makes people work harder and
352
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:09.359
now you have something to work against and four right
353
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.039
to get better, not just because you want to. You
354
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.279
have to survive. And when you have alternatives or different
355
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:21.119
places to go. In this case, it's it's great for
356
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.599
the players, it's great for the athletes. To your point,
357
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.799
like you were just bringing up about wrestling and the
358
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.119
partnership's going on, it's a great time for the fans.
359
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.480
It's a better time for the athletes because now we
360
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.119
have options, and it's not just you know, I spoke
361
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.400
about it with Nunzio on the pod. A lot of
362
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:45.440
people ask pro wrestlers when they say when are you
363
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.359
going to quote unquote make it? They mean ww WRESTLMINGIA
364
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.039
World Champion main event, right, And then you heard us
365
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.519
talk with Nunzio about it. Dude, that is like five
366
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.599
people like, that's those are who can do that?
367
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.599
You go to three, you could argue three, right, right.
368
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.559
Yeah, you go to the NFL. You got how many spots?
369
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:09.519
You've got one hundreds of teams, fifty man rosters and
370
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.240
you made it. In our world you don't have that,
371
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:16.799
you have three to five handful of spots. Yeah, So
372
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:22.000
anytime you can make more spots by having more opportunity
373
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:23.640
is a great thing for the talent.
374
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.839
Right, and and forget the politics side too, like not
375
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.720
that you know, the business. Somebody could just not want
376
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.319
you there and all of a sudden, Yeah, it doesn't
377
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.720
matter what you perform unless you're over over right and
378
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.240
even there and they could still I mean, you know,
379
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.480
I look at see him punk and and a lot
380
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:44.440
of the stuff that happened to him one it was
381
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.920
because it was one company at the time, and two like, yeah,
382
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.359
maybe some of it's self inflicted. I'm happy where we're
383
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.160
at now. And you know, he's able to main event
384
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.160
and be a huge, be a champion in WWE, but
385
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:01.240
we're deprived of fifteen years of Punk, right, like because
386
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:03.960
of whatever, Like they just couldn't get along.
387
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:09.319
And I know Punk, I know him and worked with
388
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:13.839
him in AW and yes, and if not for AW,
389
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.480
he probably would have never come back. And he's very
390
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:19.039
open about that to wrestling in general, I should say.
391
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:26.720
And yeah, and what was the reasons people disagreeing? Yeah,
392
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.680
it was opinions of people disagreeing and they got carried away.
393
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.519
And yes, it could have been a lot of things.
394
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.839
But look, that's the best thing about wrestling. What could
395
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.039
have been could still happen now, and it is now,
396
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.720
and even though it's all these years later, that's kind
397
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:43.519
of like the only sport that you could do that
398
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:47.480
in and still make magic happen. Here we are.
399
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:50.680
Yeah, No, it's been great. I mean, you know, I'm
400
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:54.480
excited for WrestleMania. We'll have news on that coming up soon.
401
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.480
But yeah, you touched on it very briefly, but I
402
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.920
want to talk about it one more time. Thirty eight
403
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:04.400
was just announced. That's a new mid life age, and
404
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:06.640
the death rate is at seventy seven years old.
405
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.920
Oh it's seventy seven, okay, yeah, so it actually went
406
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:12.480
up a little bit from when I was.
407
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:15.720
Well, I think this is the world, like I'm sure
408
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:19.880
seventy where you said, But either way, that's that's bad.
409
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.759
That's not good. And I'm a lot closer to death
410
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.960
according to this report than I thought I was a
411
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:26.680
week ago.
412
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:32.200
Let me actually look right now, okay, okay, global life
413
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:36.079
expectancy seventy two to seventy three years, and that was
414
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.759
in twenty twenty three. Well, so you know COVID didn't
415
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.240
help that, right there was right, So that took the.
416
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:47.000
Average down bit, of course, But what.
417
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:50.240
Females sent to live longer with a global average age
418
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:52.039
of seventy five point six.
419
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.039
I was thinking about. I don't know if I shared
420
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.640
this joke with you, but like, of course, females are
421
00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:59.119
going to live longer. Like I'm not trying to be
422
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:02.759
sexist there, but somebody mentioned like how great Ricky Martin
423
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:05.920
looked at at the super Bowl and and you know,
424
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:10.119
obviously he's no longer with the women. And somebody made
425
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:10.880
that suggestion.
426
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:20.480
Listen, I was making this. I made the same joke. Man. Uh,
427
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:25.400
let's just say it, dude, listen. I mean, okay, guys
428
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:26.680
live a very happy life.
429
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.559
Look, I love my woman. It's like it's it's so
430
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.319
much fun. But dude, it is. It's like, oh yeah,
431
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.680
when you what one like?
432
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:38.960
Right.
433
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:42.559
I think we as a males in this society, we
434
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:46.640
put a lot on ourselves that maybe if our partner knew,
435
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:48.880
they'd have no idea. I mean, the amount that we
436
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.720
work even for this podcast just shows that, right, Zach.
437
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.200
So we we tend to put the weight of the
438
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.319
world on our shoulders. So I could see the mental stress.
439
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:00.920
And you know, you always hear man heart attacks more
440
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.480
than female heart attacks, and I think that's a tribute
441
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.599
to to what we do to ourselves as a society.
442
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:12.720
But it's just funny to see a guy who's no
443
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:16.440
longer like you know, who also like probably also got
444
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:18.599
those kind of d ms about his underwear.
445
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.559
And I think it's great because it's funny. But we
446
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:25.640
can be able to laugh about some things.
447
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:31.359
Yeah, not to sound like this, but largely my buddy,
448
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.480
you know, he's he's a gay man, but he was
449
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.279
married he had two kids. I love them, both Aid
450
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.480
and Naida. They're they're they're amazing people. But like he
451
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.759
was the ultimate dad husband, Like he was so good
452
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:48.440
and I was like, and everybody would he was now
453
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.359
that like we all had to reach to be so
454
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.839
Like the second like he said that, you know, he
455
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:58.279
was no longer into women. I was like you sort
456
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.559
of a bit like you made me look so bad.
457
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:06.000
I'll do it. Listen there, it's great. You know, it's awesome.
458
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.559
And I just pulled up a stat while you were
459
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.519
because I had to. This is great, Yeah, this is great.
460
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:19.599
All right. Divorce rates among man to man couples. Actually, wait,
461
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:22.799
so we know we know man and woman is over
462
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.240
fifty percent, right right, right, Okay, man to man twenty
463
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:34.039
eight percent, woman to woman seventy three percent.
464
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:40.319
Okay, that's just the numbers. We're not saying anything.
465
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:44.319
That's st I'm looking at right now that are from
466
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.200
twenty twenty four, all right, and I'm just gonna leave
467
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:48.559
that there.
468
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.599
Yeah, that's a stat that's a stad Yeah comment, dude,
469
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.119
I love I live in the world where facts are facts, right,
470
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.640
Like I love that. Yeah, And lot of people like
471
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.440
try to skew the facts or whatever. So it's tremendous
472
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:05.720
that the facts are on our side for our feelings
473
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.279
for that. But shout outs to Ricky Martin. He looked
474
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.799
like freaking jack dude. He looked great. You know, I
475
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:13.799
didn't even know it was him until he started, like
476
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:16.119
people in the room started saying it was him. I
477
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:19.200
was like, oh my god, But yeah, so I hope,
478
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.160
I hope. Maybe, you know, I think he's gonna outlive
479
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:23.400
seventy seven, god willing.
480
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:26.319
But you know what's super important man to bring up.
481
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.640
We were just talking about mental health. We were just
482
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:36.200
talking about guys guys have to and I read something
483
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.200
else a couple of weeks ago. It was like a
484
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:41.279
floating one of those floating facts you see when you're
485
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:46.119
just scrolling. It was it was men need three guys
486
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:53.519
nights a month to be satiated, like mentally good, yeappy
487
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:57.119
and like well off right, like three guys nights just
488
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:01.640
to chill. And I read that, I'm like, it's totally true. No,
489
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.720
I do not get that. But if I did, like
490
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:09.440
whenever I do, I feel like a whole lot better. Yeah.
491
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.480
I think that's a super important thing to bring up.
492
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.640
Yeah, the ACW for Ty and I even like just
493
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.079
being in the car driving to you and then just
494
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:20.359
getting to experience that, and you know, it was a
495
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.160
lot of work, but also there was a lot of
496
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:25.079
fun times, right, So it was you know, and even
497
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.839
the work was fun, don't get me wrong. Yeah, but
498
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:31.519
the to have that experience. And then I shared with
499
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.200
you why we're talking to Valley Springs and we're talking
500
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:37.240
about the importance of sending the message of check on
501
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.400
your bro right, check on your brothers, check on your mates,
502
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.000
check on your friends, and make sure that they're good.
503
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.119
I literally, in real time, have my buddy that honestly
504
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.240
I thought was doing great based off social media, based
505
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.640
off his viral videos. We're gonna have him on the
506
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.400
show soon. I thought he was doing great. And he
507
00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.000
sends me this text saying I need you, I need you,
508
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.240
I need you for a couple hours. Yeah, I just
509
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.240
need a bro right now. And uh, I screenshoted to you, Zach,
510
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:09.559
and I said, hey, man, I can't be a hypocrite
511
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:13.079
like we're trying to create this message. I got to go.
512
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:16.240
And He's like, go, And I walked right into my
513
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:19.240
Denny's room and I said, hey, I gotta go. Hang
514
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:22.559
out with. My buddy needs me right now. So and look,
515
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:25.720
we sat there, we talked. You know, he's he's got
516
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.759
three young kids under the age of three, two or twins,
517
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:33.359
and life is hard and there's a lot of people
518
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:35.759
losing their jobs left and right. So he was a
519
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.640
part of that situation, and it was just like, you know, hey, man,
520
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:40.599
I'm here. I don't know what I can do, but
521
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:42.519
I want to. I want to be here for you.
522
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:48.000
So sometimes just being camaraderie is just enough now. And look,
523
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:50.880
the world we live in right now is a very unsettling,
524
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:55.480
unpredictable environment for everybody. Everyone sees it and feels it
525
00:27:55.480 --> 00:28:00.720
every day, and sometimes you just need to be around
526
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.079
friends and people that could take your mind off real
527
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.519
life stuff. You can go laugh with you, grab a drink.
528
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:09.079
If you don't drink, go watch a game, or do something.
529
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:13.799
Just hang out. And that's really important to recenter, rebalance,
530
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.720
and refocus, reshape reality to well, I have these people
531
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:23.799
here with me, also probably going through issues, but we're
532
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.880
all together right now in this moment, and that stuff
533
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:29.359
has gone because we're focused on what we're doing right now.
534
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.400
We're friends, we're hanging out, we're laughing. We're having fun,
535
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:35.680
and I do believe it's super important to do that,
536
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:38.000
and it's something I personally could be a lot better
537
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.880
with because I get caught up and stuff, travel whatever
538
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.319
it is, you know, so do you, Mike and they
539
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.440
We talk about that a lot. Well, okay, I mean
540
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:52.599
we're together a lot, but it's like work related stuff.
541
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:54.119
But we try to have fun too, like you just
542
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:58.079
brought up, but when you if there's ever a time
543
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:02.319
to detach and just not do anything and just hang out,
544
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:04.160
those are the best times.
545
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.079
By far, by far, and look like it's also like
546
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.559
I think what the male brain does is we've harp
547
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.640
on the negative or the things that went wrong, and
548
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:16.480
we don't realize how much we accomplished. And I think
549
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:18.720
it's good and bad. You should focus and try to
550
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:21.359
get better and craft your tool on the negative. But
551
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:24.240
you know, and that's that's what's been pretty cool about
552
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:26.559
our whole team with Prestige Access. We keep each other
553
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.839
in check of, hey, we're already doing all this, like
554
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.880
you know, that's pretty awesome, and also like you know,
555
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.759
so we've like mentally we have the right team behind
556
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:39.920
the scenes in front of the camera, and I just
557
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.680
think it's it's been awesome, and yeah, to share those
558
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:46.119
those insecurities or just have real conversations is what this
559
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.920
is all about.
560
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.279
Yeah, we had a and we won't get in the specifics,
561
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.279
but we had a thing a couple weeks ago where
562
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:55.839
you know, we were talking as a team and we
563
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:59.000
were like, oh, this is really good. But and then
564
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:02.240
one of us said, but nothing, look what we're doing,
565
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.720
this is great. Let's just focus on this. And I
566
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:07.160
was like, yeah, you guys are right, because I was
567
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:12.160
I'm always what's next, next, next, how can we do better? Better, better?
568
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:15.160
And sometimes you have to look objectively at it from
569
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.240
thirty thousand feet and say, oh, wait a minute, this
570
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:21.400
is pretty cool. Let's live here for a minute, take
571
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:23.400
the W and go from there.
572
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.400
Yeah, everybody on the outside right now, like my dms
573
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.680
are filled with inappropriate questions to you. But you guys
574
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.440
are crushing it, like you know, and it's it's it's
575
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:36.359
been cool, and it's you know, people are definitely in
576
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:39.200
tuned and watching and you know, it's it's it's been
577
00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:42.799
you know. From like I said, I didn't realize the
578
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:45.640
impact we were already making until we're at ACW and
579
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:47.920
I was walking down the ring and people were heckling
580
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.119
me knowing that he was associated with you, and that
581
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.240
was pretty freaking cool. And I was like, he'll die.
582
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:54.599
They see the logo, they say, they see my bald head.
583
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:56.480
They're like, this guy's gonna interfere.
584
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:59.519
I was like, I promise you on the Enzo too.
585
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:01.440
He was like, don't even start with me, my man.
586
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:03.839
You're like, what do I even do? But he just
587
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.599
recognized you from the show.
588
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:09.119
Yeah, yeah, from the gate. I mean, you know, it
589
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:10.079
was it was pretty cool.
590
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:10.240
Man.
591
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:11.839
That was you know, I'm looking that.
592
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:14.680
The first time you've experienced something like that, Like, yeah.
593
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:19.119
So yeah, that was the first ever to that magnitude. Uh,
594
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:21.160
you know, I've been the raw, I've been this back down.
595
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:24.920
I was at Wrestlemanium Philly, but that was a whole
596
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:25.680
different animal.
597
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:30.920
Well, I mean, like you people recognizing you to that capacity.
598
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:34.680
In a realm where I didn't assume that, yes, that
599
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:36.839
that was That was the first time. Yeah, I did
600
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:40.440
not expect that at all. You know, in the card
601
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:43.039
memorabilia outside, I get that a lot, but it's like,
602
00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:46.920
you know, people knowing me from that when when we
603
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:49.640
had a rod on that it was wild, But normally
604
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:53.880
it's like adjacent people like that knew me before or
605
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:57.559
something that was known to be in a city where
606
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:00.799
I've never stepped foot in and people heckle me like, no,
607
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:02.200
that's never happened in my life.
608
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:04.119
Well that was kind of my fault, I guess, because
609
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:05.799
I cause you were with me.
610
00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:06.519
Realize it.
611
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.720
You and Ty were with me in Gorilla right before
612
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:12.960
the show's about to start. I was going on first
613
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:16.039
and and I was like, yeah, why don't you just
614
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:18.720
go down the ramp, It's fine, and you did. But
615
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.000
looking at it now, it was the start of the show,
616
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:25.599
I guess people would recognize you, so they might have
617
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:30.599
thought it wasn't work, Like oh Powers in his podcast.
618
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:36.160
The camera also like the guy behind me too my camera,
619
00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:38.880
Like there was a long we were in We're in
620
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:41.559
that position for a while before the match actually started.
621
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:44.119
Uh you know, because there was a b roll that
622
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:46.759
ran and you know, just the hyping up of the
623
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:48.480
live pay per view and stuff like that. You don't
624
00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:51.880
realize like, okay, like it. So I had to switch
625
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:53.759
on my batteries and the camera dis The minute the
626
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:57.559
camera died, the guy goes, see, the camera's not even oh.
627
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.359
I was like, yo, dude, I'm switching the battery now,
628
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:03.200
like we are filming this shit, Like I was getting
629
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.440
so I was like, I was yeah, And honestly, you
630
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.440
told us, like, hey, stay to the side because we're
631
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:11.720
going to come in and it's gonna the minute I
632
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.359
get to the end of the ramp, this ship's going down.
633
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.000
So like that was the one thing we knew that
634
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:19.359
there was going to be activity. But I was standing
635
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:20.839
exactly where you told me to stand.
636
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:21.839
But you know, it.
637
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.200
Still became a part of it, which was still something
638
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.279
that I'll never forget. So that Yeah, it's been dude,
639
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:29.519
it's been awesome. It's been cool. And to share that
640
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:32.279
with our audience is it's cool. And like like I said,
641
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:34.319
a lot of those people followed me from that day
642
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.759
and they're commenting and dming us and asking us questions.
643
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:41.519
So it's it's it's been cool. I can't complain at all.
644
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:42.640
It's been awesome.
645
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.759
Well, we're doing We're doing something fun. Man. This is
646
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:49.640
what we This was our idea, this was our thesis.
647
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:51.440
This is what we wanted to do. So now we're
648
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:54.440
doing it. We're in it, and it's work. But it's
649
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:58.559
also fun, like we're talking about right now and we're
650
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:00.559
just starting. Really this is episod so this is going
651
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.960
to be thirteen here. Man, we're gonna be talking someday
652
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.440
when we're at a thousand and imagine what we're going
653
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.639
to be doing then, you know.
654
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:12.239
That's uh yeah, look it's it's been so cool and yeah,
655
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:14.639
I can't can't wait to continue this journey and uh,
656
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.039
you know, hopefully the warm weather. Man, I know what
657
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:19.199
you're getting out of here. You're very lucky to go
658
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.800
south for a couple of days. But you know I'll
659
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:24.920
be thinking of warmth why while you're here.
660
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:28.559
Yeah, well, I'm getting depressed, man, So I gotta We're
661
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:34.760
heading the Universal, so that'll be fun. I am probably
662
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:39.599
gonna have to sacrifice my mental state for the kids
663
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.599
to ride these rides. I don't do well on the
664
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:43.639
roller coasters. Man.
665
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:47.199
People who don't know Zach goes into a cot state.
666
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.800
I just thought it was bad dude before if I
667
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:53.679
didn't know you and you do it well, I just
668
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:56.239
saw you like blinked like your eyes were closed, and
669
00:34:56.280 --> 00:35:01.119
then I noticed every pitch like so I was like
670
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:03.599
wait a minute, like, yeah, dude, that's.
671
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:10.400
It's it's uh, it's by design. I have to. I
672
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:13.000
have to. I can't survive. It's my only way, you know.
673
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:18.000
The the Yeah, so you're going to Orlando, right, yeah
674
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:21.440
versus Orlando cool. Yeah. So we haven't gotten onto that
675
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:25.159
Harry Potter bike ride one yet. Uh. We try to
676
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:29.719
get on it every single time. Yeah. Yeah, my wife's
677
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:32.119
starting to have and and the thing is we're theme parkhead.
678
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:34.519
So it's not like the at bats weren't there. We're
679
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:38.440
there probably two times a year. It's just it's been
680
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:41.519
it's been like a three hour wait every time, and yeah,
681
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:44.840
shut down to Actually when we paid for the fast lane,
682
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:47.840
it breaks down a lot, Yeah it does. Yeah, so
683
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:51.159
that's been a bummer. That Jurassic Park ride is insane.
684
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:52.360
I'm never going on that again.
685
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:58.599
Great Jurassic Park U. Yeah, that's the one. That's That's
686
00:35:58.639 --> 00:35:59.639
what I'm talking about.
687
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:05.599
Its add in the Stardust one, yo. It's Stardust was
688
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:08.480
great the first half. That second half I was like,
689
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:10.199
just launch me out of here.
690
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:13.039
I didn't want to be on Yeah. I think the
691
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:14.280
first part was good.
692
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:16.840
Yeah, and then just get rid of it, like get
693
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:17.440
rid of the rest.
694
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:22.000
Dude. I almost uh I can't do it. I don't uh,
695
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:25.199
I don't know. I feel like, look, they're entirely safe
696
00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:28.199
and all that, but dude, I don't know. I can't
697
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:28.440
do it.
698
00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:30.400
So you got too much to live for my man,
699
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:32.119
I just.
700
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:38.360
Here's my thing. It's like, obviously they test them, right,
701
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:42.679
but what do they put in the seats to test
702
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:43.719
them with? Like dummies?
703
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:48.880
Like, yeah, soies my size, that's fair. That is a
704
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:52.039
fair question. Uh you know they're water dummies.
705
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:52.360
Yeah.
706
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:56.760
Sometimes Also sometimes it's the maintenance people or the employees.
707
00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:59.719
I have been a dummy, I can gladly tell you that,
708
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.360
so they nitro. Also, there's a lot of safety measurements
709
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.960
and stuff like that that like iron curt like electronic
710
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.239
curtains and stuff. So like it's not like two of
711
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:13.519
the trains could occupy a place at the same time
712
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:17.880
unless something catastrophic happened. But there's always safeties and procedures.
713
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:20.880
But again with that said, I'm telling you this, and
714
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.280
the last time I operated a ride, I was seventeen
715
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:26.079
years old, So it's you're alive. Your hands are still
716
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:30.440
in kids' hands, but there are there are computers behind.
717
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:34.239
So we uh we do the VIP guides and they're great.
718
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:39.320
And so I was talking one a couple of years ago,
719
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:45.719
and one thing that Universal and Disney for obvious reasons
720
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:54.239
liability twenty four hours a day. Those are like those
721
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:58.280
rides are protected and like they're on over and tested
722
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:00.559
even when the park is closed throughout the night. They're
723
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.280
running them their service every single night, morning and night.
724
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:10.440
So like you're good, but you know, I just I'm
725
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:12.400
just like, well, dude, who's the biggest guy to ride
726
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:14.079
this ride? Yeah?
727
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.480
Yeah, you know, And I will also share to make
728
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:20.719
it a little more local New Jersey. The six Flags,
729
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:25.079
they're inspected way more than the rides on the shore.
730
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:26.800
Speaking of the Jersey Shore.
731
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:30.400
You mean the carnival rides that you Yeah, I will
732
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:32.960
never go on those things. I don't care.
733
00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:39.360
Yeah, like I love walking the boardwalk seaside any any Yeah,
734
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:41.599
I'll go to any of them. So I'm not going
735
00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:42.320
on those rides.
736
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:44.639
Man. By the way, did they change the name of
737
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:46.280
Moby Dick, the one that goes like this.
738
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:47.920
Well I think they did.
739
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:48.239
Yeah.
740
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:50.519
I saw them were moving some stuff too.
741
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:53.519
Like it was funny because I've never gone on it
742
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:55.760
because I just won't. But I was like, I think
743
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:57.599
it was last year. I was like, it's not called
744
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:02.360
Moby Dick. They changed the name. They did not politically
745
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:03.119
correct anymore.
746
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:03.519
I don't know.
747
00:39:03.599 --> 00:39:04.599
I don't know. I don't know.
748
00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:06.920
Maybe copyright. Maybe somebody came in and swooped that we
749
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:08.360
should have copywritten moby Dick.
750
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:12.639
Yeah, I don't know, but.
751
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:17.639
I can't think that would be inappropriate. I don't know.
752
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:20.039
You never know anymore, man, I don't know.
753
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:22.679
It's wild. Yeah, that stuff is wild. I give up
754
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:23.039
on that.
755
00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:27.239
Yeah, but I will not go on carnival rides. I
756
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:29.719
won't do it. Not to mention. You look at them
757
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:33.039
and they're they turn and then they're coming off the ground,
758
00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:35.199
and you're like, dude, why would I Why would I
759
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:36.239
go in?
760
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.719
The fencing around them is not even up to the
761
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:40.639
indie wrestling.
762
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:46.239
There's more regulation I had been wrestling than carnival rides.
763
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.360
In the back of the they're just in the back
764
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:54.199
of a truck, like sitting there if they're not being used,
765
00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:54.760
Like what is that?
766
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:59.199
And they're traveling also, like you know, obviously there's different.
767
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:02.000
I mean, as you know, the closer out of salt water,
768
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:04.519
even your car gets destroyed. So I can only imagine
769
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:07.440
imagine some of these rides where they've been and I
770
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:11.000
assume they go somewhere over the winner to get winterized
771
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:13.960
or something. But yeah, dude, they get inspected like once
772
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:17.039
a year. I know when they is getting expected every
773
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:18.320
day when.
774
00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:20.639
They opened and then you got you got the janitor
775
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:21.440
with the hot dog.
776
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:22.000
It's good.
777
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:26.840
You know, it worked, it went around once. It's good.
778
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:27.599
You know.
779
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:32.440
I don't know, man, Look, wrestling started as a carnie business, right.
780
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:34.920
A lot of people don't know that. You went to
781
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.320
carnivals and you wrestled. That's how pro wrestling started. I
782
00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:41.440
would rather work one of those shows than go on
783
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:41.960
the rights.
784
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:46.480
Yeah, you know, one more thing that messed with my
785
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:50.400
mental health this week and uh so there was a
786
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:53.960
situation where one of a foundation I work with, they
787
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:58.079
have a circus coming in for the kids, and they
788
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:01.199
were going to use a version of a clown or
789
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:03.960
something and they told them, no, we don't paint our
790
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:08.079
clowns and that clowns aren't put in that kind of
791
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:11.639
paint anymore, or like are aren't reflected that way. That's offensive.
792
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:15.559
I was a great so again the like, now clowns
793
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:19.800
have better rights than bald men in this country. Everybody
794
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.239
rips on me for being bald. By the way I
795
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:25.599
chose to do this. I chose to I still I
796
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:27.800
still had a little bit of hair going, and I
797
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.880
could have I could have went, uh like, kept going.
798
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:33.840
I just one day addicted it and have them looked back.
799
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:38.519
So I wish I was completely like it. Yeah, I
800
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:39.519
like it too, honestly.
801
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:41.719
You know, wait a minute, you gotta go back for it.
802
00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:44.440
So now clowns can't be clowns.
803
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:47.679
I don't exactly exactly like just the way.
804
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:49.599
World nuts, you're a clown.
805
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:52.320
Yeah, I'm gonna get the details. So I reached out
806
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:55.360
to We lived down the street to a clown family.
807
00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:58.719
They were like, yeah, it's wild. So I saw I'm
808
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:01.679
not messing. They would tach us how to ride unicycles.
809
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:04.880
My buddy Mike Seffert, he can actually really really ride one.
810
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:08.119
It was awesome. There were a great family. But yeah,
811
00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:11.159
we called them the clown family, and people like they
812
00:42:11.159 --> 00:42:13.440
were like, yeah, what do you call that. I was like, oh,
813
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:15.039
they're legitimately clowns.
814
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:18.559
That was for dinner and everyone's just wearing the clown makeup.
815
00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:22.760
Or my baby sat their kids once. Yeah, he had
816
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:24.679
to go to an event, and I guess, like they're
817
00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:27.159
real sitter, like canceled and they just saw me out
818
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:33.840
shooting baskets and in my driver why they're like, yeah,
819
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:36.679
I remember too. I didn't negotiate the money happened so
820
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:39.079
quick and they paid me like I was. I felt
821
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:41.400
like the clown after I got that that. You know,
822
00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:43.440
it was not worth it. Let's put it that way.
823
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:47.119
It was three kids, dude, I don't I remember it
824
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:49.480
not being enough to buy like a pack of cards,
825
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:51.320
like and I had to watch three of their kids.
826
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:54.840
It was the worst. Uh. But also like we used
827
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:57.400
to hit you know, we would play baseball and we
828
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:02.039
would hit their house like it was normandy, like just
829
00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:04.800
bombs after bombs. If they if somebody did that to
830
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:06.760
my house, and I swear you could talk to my
831
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:09.599
brother about or whoever, the amount of times we hit
832
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:13.559
their home with a baseball. If you hit my house
833
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:16.679
once like that, I'm coming after your dad, like you
834
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:18.760
know what I mean, Like like we were kids, but
835
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:21.000
I'd be like, yo, you're paying for that ship because
836
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:24.239
we destroyed that house. It looked like a clownhouse because
837
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:27.280
the amount of balls we hit into it. But yeah,
838
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:30.400
it was it was wild man. But yeah, now clowns
839
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:31.880
have more rights than bald men.
840
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:34.320
Which is what a bunch of clowns? Man?
841
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:36.880
Yeah, I feel like the clown I'm gonna start wearing
842
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:37.239
to make.
843
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:41.440
I don't think I go to a world where a
844
00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:43.920
clown is politically incorrect now, but here we are.
845
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:48.000
I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. I'll get
846
00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:50.440
more details and share on the next episode, or or
847
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:52.960
share on their socials because like it was like I
848
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:55.840
didn't know they had rights like that, or even like
849
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:58.920
they were misrepresented, Like could you imagine like the clowns
850
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:01.079
like union coming together like the.
851
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:04.119
Rest of you union? Oh my god?
852
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:09.119
Doing the clown dead? He died, right, I think.
853
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:11.880
I want to say, yes, I think I'm with you there.
854
00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:13.800
Yeah, but he was going to say we could get
855
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:18.119
him on and say.
856
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:19.639
Right, what do you think about this? That's funny man?
857
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:23.559
Well man, it was good to catch up. We have
858
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:27.079
some exciting stuff coming up j Access. We've got some
859
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:28.760
guests lined up that I think are going to be
860
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:32.079
really good and definitely on brand for what we spoke
861
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.000
about today. I'm excited for it, and we've been crushing
862
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:35.840
it let's keep it up.
863
00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:38.760
Likewise, Bro, I'll talk to later, all right, man,
1
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:04.759
What's up everyone at Zach Clayton, and I'm pumped to
2
00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:08.199
introduce you to my podcast, Prestige Access. Let's get to work.
3
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:10.000
Let's get to work. Let's get to work. Let's get
4
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:14.320
to work. Let's get to it. Mike, what's up, my man?
5
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.199
It's been a little bit since it's just you and
6
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.440
I in studio. How you been good?
7
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:20.960
Man? Can't well, I can't complain. And it's this snow.
8
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.600
I'm looking out the window. There's still twelve inches over there,
9
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.280
and we just added a few last night.
10
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:25.960
I know.
11
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:28.960
Talk about ruining your mental health. Like, I just want
12
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.119
warm weather. Man, Me and my daughter were she wrote
13
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.880
it down forty two degrees, which it is today, and
14
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:36.960
we could go out and run. The problem is, like
15
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.520
obviously the road conditions. I don't need her slipping and
16
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.960
now having a memory of running and getting injured or
17
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.439
anything like that. But yeah, it's been stressful.
18
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:46.600
Man.
19
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.920
We're on a great run running and now it's just
20
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.399
been every day ice snow.
21
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.679
I agree to go away. Yeah, yeah, you made a
22
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.039
didn't she make like a rule with you that if
23
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.439
it's over forty you have to go out exactly?
24
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.960
Yeah we do. Yeah, we've been holding ourselves to that. Unfortunately,
25
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.000
there's almost two weeks where we didn't.
26
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:06.879
Hit the teams.
27
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.640
Bro, it's been so stressful, you know, so that that sucks.
28
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.560
We are working on I don't know. I guess you're
29
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.760
the wrong person, ass, because you started lifting like thirteen
30
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.879
years old, right eleven, Bro, Like, I'm scared. I got
31
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.079
my ass kicked on a treadmill once, like when I
32
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.799
was in middle school or whatever, So you know, I
33
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.359
want to get her on a treadmill, but I'm very
34
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:39.000
cautious right now. Like, yeah, well, outdoors is better anyway.
35
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.159
You can't beat that incline. Also, it helps with your breathing.
36
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.280
I conquered asthma running outside, so I think a lot
37
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.120
of things. And and also when I run outside, I
38
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.480
don't get sick like because I guess like just your
39
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:53.640
immune system grows.
40
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.280
So that's right. Well, it just makes everything so much.
41
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.439
The cold air especially is really good for your lungs
42
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.359
actually to help fight off the sickness and illness, isn't it.
43
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.920
And it does make you stronger. Actually, the avioli on
44
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.599
your lungs, it really helps the cold there. It's really
45
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.680
beneficial actually, just like the heat binding proteins you build
46
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.919
if you're in the sauna, So the cold has effect too.
47
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:16.719
That's positive.
48
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:22.400
So you know what's stressful for me? And we'll get
49
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.520
into it because it just got triggered. We were going
50
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.360
through our show notes before we started, and I noticed
51
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.599
there's a lot of dms that are wild and inappropriate
52
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.960
and just out of this world. Hey, ask Zach this question.
53
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.560
I was like, I'm not asking them that question. And
54
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.199
it's just like, so I can only imagine the little
55
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.599
dose that I get into your world of what your
56
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.439
dms look like.
57
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.240
But the yeah, reason actually, man, let me just start
58
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:52.159
it inter rupt but like, yeah, and I can see you.
59
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.520
I can imagine what you get because I live it.
60
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.280
But the amount of people that ask me you're not
61
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.879
going to guess this, but like it's real. The amount
62
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.240
of people that ask me if they can buy my
63
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:17.680
unwashed used ring gear, it's astonishing. Yeah, and a lot
64
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.319
of them are men. I'm not gonna lie.
65
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.319
I imagine imagine like look if it's if it's tops
66
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.360
or one of these memorabilia things like that, that would
67
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.919
be freaking epic. Actually, I met a guy and we
68
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.000
were talking about working that out one day to do
69
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.560
something like that. His name is Jordan Spector. He actually
70
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.719
does a lot of the Philadelphia athletes and I was like, yo, dude,
71
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:45.000
I got you know my co host that I do Exactly. Yeah,
72
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.280
that would be freaking awesome, right, like cut up some
73
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.400
ring ring gear and put it in the cards.
74
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.639
With the night I won the a c W title
75
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:52.080
behind me.
76
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.960
Exactly, bro, exactly So yeah.
77
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:57.280
No.
78
00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.360
So some of these questions, I've been out of this
79
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.319
world a few of them. Like I noticed there was
80
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.960
a guy in my DMS that works with me and
81
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.919
he was asking about like ozempic and stuff like that,
82
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.560
and like all what he should do. Well, it turns
83
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.000
out it looks like he took that path, because the
84
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.160
dude looks like a rail now, like it's just been wild.
85
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.600
And I'm like, hey, I know I'm on this path,
86
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.560
and i know I'm getting healthier and I'm doing it
87
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.879
the right way. But man, is that so deflating to
88
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.600
see a guy literally take a shot no pun intended
89
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.279
and outperforming now and people are like, he look great,
90
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.000
you look awesome. What's your secret? And I'm like, I
91
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.439
know his secret, he DM me.
92
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.720
Well, it's almost like the you know, the people on
93
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.639
steroids like outperform and get the get they get it.
94
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.759
You know, I had to work since I was eleven
95
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.040
years old for a lot of for what I look like.
96
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.519
I've never done any pds in my life. And some
97
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.879
coworkers of mine, of course, get, oh, look at him,
98
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.560
I look really good, right, But then there's like a
99
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.879
level of steroids. Right. But it's like, yeah, well he
100
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.160
did this to get that, and that's what you're talking about.
101
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.199
It's not the grind, the hard work, the effort. It's well,
102
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:07.360
he did something for it.
103
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.920
And I do think like that in medicine is meant
104
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.959
for somebody who is diabetic or is like, yeah, it
105
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:16.959
needs it, but.
106
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.480
No, for sure, if you need it, it could save
107
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.639
your life actually, which is the purpose and the use
108
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.000
for it. But but yeah, I mean you going outside
109
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.079
and making the time regardless, it's super important. I know
110
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.079
last weekend it was really tough though, because it was
111
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.519
literally minus twenty here in Jersey last weekend. But then
112
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.759
we keep getting hit with snow. It's out of character
113
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:45.399
for us, really. But the ozempic stuff is crazy, man,
114
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.959
It's out of control, and it took over like more
115
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:52.199
than half of the Super Bowl commercials last week. Yeah, yeah,
116
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.680
it's crazy. Yeah.
117
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.160
You saw DJ Khaled who went on record probably two
118
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.279
or three years ago saying he doesn't want to lose
119
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.600
weight because he all he does is win. Now he's
120
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.319
winning with that paycheck because that sponsorship has to be tremendous.
121
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:06.839
Uh.
122
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.639
You know all these athletes Keenan Thompson like you know,
123
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.639
and and in the message was hey, if if there
124
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.000
was a pill that did your job for you, would
125
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.000
you take it? And like so it's like just telling
126
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.600
people to take the easy way out. If there was
127
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:20.839
a pill for this, would you do it?
128
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:21.160
I know?
129
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.319
It's yeah, it's wild.
130
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.519
Was it was it Rick Ross? Who who in the
131
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.480
last like decade, Maybe it was Khalid that just went
132
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:37.439
on a huge weight loss journey. Was only Kalid?
133
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.839
No, he's still big. So I think this is gonna
134
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.480
be I bet you bye.
135
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.720
By the way. With Almond milk, it was like an
136
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.879
Almond milk jingle. Dude, I'm telling you, I.
137
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.720
Know Jelly Roll has lost that's gonna wait.
138
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.240
Yeah, Well he's been working with Gary Breka, right right.
139
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.959
That's cool. That's really cool, and watching him on Instagram
140
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.759
and all these other social platforms, like really working out
141
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:04.680
to get there.
142
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.079
He was training for like when he had the match
143
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.439
with WW he actually trained for it. Yeah, and he
144
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.879
was just he did an appearance at TNA over the weekend.
145
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.680
So he's a wrestling fan too, which is really cool.
146
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:23.199
But yeah, man, look, I'm obviously all for people getting healthy,
147
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.759
but I want you to do it the right way.
148
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:32.680
I don't condone any I don't like anything, Like Jenny
149
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.399
says all the time, it's like you don't like any
150
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.360
because I don't like advil. I don't like anything. I
151
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.040
just think I just think you can get better. You
152
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.600
don't need this stuff. It's all new. Really. If you
153
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.480
look at like a prescription, you ever seen a prescription
154
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.480
for a head cold from like the fifties, it's a
155
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.040
joke because it's actually like, maybe we shouldn't have been
156
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.079
doing that, but it's whiskey. It's a shot of whiskey.
157
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.519
It's a shot of lemon juice and a shot of
158
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.360
warm honey all mixed together, and like that was what
159
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.800
they would write you back, yo, alcohol, we have been
160
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:09.279
prescribing alcohol, I don't know, probably not, but.
161
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.959
With kids with their like gum when they're like rub
162
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.959
whiskey on their gums, right, and they're like they'll be fine.
163
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.560
It's like, yeah, they're drunk, bro, that's right, that's right.
164
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.279
But like all these medicines, man, I don't I don't like.
165
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.920
I don't like anything. I just think the better ways
166
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.920
to handle business you could do it naturally. I like, like,
167
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.480
right now, actually have some lemon water over there with
168
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:34.679
some electrolytes and BCAAs because I'm feeling a little bit
169
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.200
under the weather because it sucks here in New Jersey.
170
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.919
But yeah, you know, I don't like. I don't think
171
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.320
we need to be drinking down dakewell all day, you know.
172
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:47.000
I just there's better ways to handle things. Yeah.
173
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.440
My least favorite thing is during the holidays, like we're
174
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.879
in and out of people's houses. They maybe they smoke,
175
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.399
maybe they got cats, maybe they have dogs. So like
176
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.279
people just think, oh, tough en up, have a benadrol. Dude.
177
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.600
When I take a benadrol, I feel like I'm on,
178
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.440
I'm out of this world. Like it's like, yeah, I'm
179
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:08.440
really bad, Like I'm allergic to everything you know under
180
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.799
the sun. And but things that really triggered me still
181
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.240
are like cats, dogs, smoking, like those are the three.
182
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.440
If they're involved, I'm wheezing them cough and I'm whatever,
183
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:23.039
take a benader great, I have less symptoms. But literally,
184
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.159
my nephew threw like one of the like a nerf
185
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.440
ball at me or whatever, and I couldn't react to
186
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.879
hit me in the head, like in the face, and
187
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.360
I just I just sat there like I couldn't. Like
188
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.080
you were so out of your brain, like I can't
189
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.320
describe it. There's no other feeling in the world worse
190
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.240
than me on benadru and I hate it.
191
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.600
I didn't know you were allergic to cats. Yeah, I'm
192
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:46.320
a cat guy.
193
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:47.960
Yeah, I'm sorry.
194
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:49.960
Now, dude, I love cats.
195
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.159
Yeah, I dude. I love dogs like you know, and I.
196
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.399
Had a dog. I have had dogs my entire life.
197
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:01.799
But when my last one past, he was he just
198
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.360
actually broke my heart, like in a trillion pieces, and
199
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.799
I don't know I had to. We got cats, you know,
200
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.200
And now I love the cats, so that's awesome.
201
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.720
Yeah, my brother has both, you know, but much like you,
202
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:15.799
like you know, there are some cat owners where you
203
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:17.639
could smell it on their jacket, you could smell it
204
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.279
on them. They are a part of that. And being
205
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.840
allergic even just rubbing up on those people like does
206
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.279
affect me eventually.
207
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.639
But if I wonder if I've ever had like no, no, yeah.
208
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.639
I've never. I do it, and I have a pretty
209
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.000
good known feeling for people that that's good. Yeah, like
210
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.840
it's it's pretty bad. Like I can tell when I'm like,
211
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.879
oh shit, you have a cat.
212
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:42.679
Well that's good. I don't want to be a cat
213
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.480
guy already. You know like that, you know what I mean? Like,
214
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:49.759
what are those cat people? That's so maybe I would
215
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.440
Maybe I can give the underwear sniffer people another reason
216
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:55.279
I'll buy my stuff.
217
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.399
I don't know cat litter know.
218
00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:00.279
Yeah, I don't know. Man. Maybe I'll start him at a
219
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:01.679
price and see if they go for it.
220
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.159
I don't know if this fails, man, Yeah, we got
221
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.240
we got another avenue of revenue. We got to get
222
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:07.519
Daniel on the phone.
223
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.840
And say, no, they might. I don't know.
224
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:10.639
I don't know.
225
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.440
I'll happily do it. I don't care. You guys want
226
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:21.200
my you guys want my sweaty trunks. That's gross, dude.
227
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.200
I want to I want to. Yeah, I want to
228
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.279
share something with you that you know. I saw what
229
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.679
happened yesterday and I thought it was pretty cool. Anthony
230
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.120
Kim who had it was an amazing, amazing pro golfer. Uh,
231
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:38.039
you know, unfortunately had a battle with alcohol, pills and
232
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.879
all this other stuff, almost lost his life, you know,
233
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.919
bounced bounced back at forty years old to win a
234
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:50.840
live championship tournament, which is tremendous. Credits. Yeah, he credits
235
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:55.200
his daughter, his family, and just his overall change of life.
236
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.679
You know, I think there's so many people that are
237
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.159
afraid to share their stories and you don't really get
238
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.039
to see that many, but talk about a redemption story
239
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:08.120
and a half. It's just really cool. And everything we've
240
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.600
been doing on this journeys, as you know, we've been
241
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.840
we've witnessed success stories and it's made us feel good.
242
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.759
But to see one on the grandest stage of it all,
243
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:23.200
you know, at a championship match is is just awesome.
244
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.519
And you know, I wanted to get your thoughts on
245
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.120
that and overall feelings towards.
246
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.559
That he's you said, he's forty.
247
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:32.200
Yeah, he just turned forty.
248
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:36.600
And how long when did he become sober?
249
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:42.240
So around his daughter's birthday and she's twelve years old now,
250
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:44.679
oh great, yeah, yeah, So.
251
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.200
Well you know that that anytime you can do it
252
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.159
in your life, but especially once you get older, you know,
253
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:55.399
sort of to unfortunately, what is now the halfway point?
254
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.600
You know, which which sucks? That's that's a conversation. We
255
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.879
can have two, but like I don't you know, we
256
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.080
don't know. Some say we're going to live to one
257
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.559
hundred and twenty and then our life expectancy is still
258
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.879
seventy three in the US, So we don't know, but
259
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.320
we know more often than not about forty is halfway
260
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.480
and any time you could turn your life around at
261
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:22.279
that point is phenomenal in any capacity. But to have
262
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.559
a story like that is is so great to hear.
263
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:29.399
Yeah, he said he had three options. It was played
264
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.519
with the PGA, play with live, or never play golf again. Right,
265
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.720
and he's so happy he picked the avenue he did.
266
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.559
His body is clearly scarred by the decisions he made
267
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.120
in his life, so you could see like there's a
268
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:47.879
lot of issues, but he came back and is playing
269
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.399
on an elite level, which is you know, not many
270
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.279
people get to do that. I think of Doc goodin
271
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.799
with the Mets, and that was somebody as a kid
272
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.159
that I idolized. And then all of a sudden, my dad
273
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:58.919
had to explain to me, like why he was no
274
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.240
longer a met was because he had these demons and
275
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.360
he's fighting, you know, addiction issues, and he's had his
276
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.279
ups and downs, but he was able to go back
277
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.639
to the other side, your side, the Yankees throw a
278
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.320
no hitter, win a world series, do some amazing stuff
279
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.720
with with the Bronx, And honestly, like you know, I
280
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:19.960
was happy for him knowing that, but as a kid,
281
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.399
I was just angry that he was no longer met
282
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.519
because I didn't fully understand it. But now knowing Doc's
283
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:29.120
whole story, it's pretty dope. And this reminded me of that,
284
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.399
Like how there is You know, wherever you are, you
285
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:34.799
could always get somewhere else. And I think that's really
286
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.799
the moral of this pod is right, like, wherever you are,
287
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.679
we're going to help you get to a better version
288
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:39.879
of that.
289
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:47.759
Yeah, the real New York Team. By the way, we listen, man,
290
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.840
we have listeners, people who follow us all over. Our
291
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.039
listeners want to get better. We have people that care
292
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.480
to be better and get better and help other people
293
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:00.679
get better. And it's never too late to do that.
294
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.039
Whether you're a pro athlete in this case, that we're
295
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.960
talking about now a person in the spotlight of any
296
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.360
kind or just someone who's a regular person not in
297
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.399
the spotlight, which is often harder because you don't have
298
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.480
as many people to turn to and you do, and
299
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.960
especially coming That's why we wanted to make a platform
300
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.399
like this, Like, you're not alone going through those struggles.
301
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.799
Nobody is, and even at the highest level, those problems
302
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.159
still exist. So in this case, I'm glad you brought
303
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.480
it up. I mean, we just had a great talk
304
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.919
with Valley Spring those guys. I mean, we just talked
305
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:41.639
about this. Right, everyone goes through it. You're not alone,
306
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.480
and there's always a way to help and get better
307
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.159
and be better. You have to be around people that
308
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:47.120
can help you get there.
309
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.440
Amen, dude. Amen. And I was glad to share this
310
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.279
story with you too, because Live Golf is now secondary
311
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:59.039
to the PGA, right, and I think about TNA and
312
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:04.000
aw allow you to have more access and more abilities
313
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.600
to show your superpower and be a pro wrestler, you know.
314
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.000
So it took me back to you and your family
315
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.639
on the aw ring celebrating, right, Like, so, yeah, those
316
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.240
moments are awesome, and I feel like the longer, you know,
317
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.559
the more opportunities out there for professional sports, whether it
318
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.879
be male, female, the better. So having an alternative to
319
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:32.080
the PGA that allowed this gentleman to live out and
320
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.159
accomplish something that he could be proud of is you know,
321
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:37.279
really cool. When to share that with his family on
322
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:38.679
that stage is awesome?
323
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.360
Is it because he wasn't the PGA wouldn't let him?
324
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:43.600
Is that the reason I think.
325
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:45.519
I think he would have went. I think he definitely
326
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:47.399
would have went to the PGA. It's just the question
327
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.399
of if if you would have gotten to where he
328
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.639
is so allowing, you know, it's it's very hard. We
329
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.600
have Brendan Matthews, that's a friend of a podcast that
330
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.080
we were swinging and ding at Jeff's pod. His wife, Danielle.
331
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.000
Brendan got injured and he's like trying to get his
332
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.920
card back to be in the PGA. He's a freaking
333
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.240
amazing golfer and he can't get back in, you know,
334
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:11.880
and he's getting there. He's going to get back in
335
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:14.119
and he's going to figure out a way to get back.
336
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.000
But yeah, he had back issues and all of a sudden,
337
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.920
like you know, you went had a surgery. He's feeling good,
338
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.200
and he's able to compete again. But now he's got
339
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.319
to go back and it's like starting from the Indies
340
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.759
all the way up, golf has always been protected. And
341
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.559
then also like it's it. The PGA is kind of
342
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.160
I mean, it's changed, but it was kind of like
343
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.400
the WWE where they didn't want to give people second chances,
344
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.079
so they might have just been like, no, what you
345
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.759
did in twenty ten, see, you're never coming back. So
346
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:49.160
the fact that he had options allowed ability to come back.
347
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.880
When you have one company running one thing, like I think, yeah,
348
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:53.680
it's good.
349
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:58.160
It's all look competition and now we use the word
350
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:03.200
alternative because it's nice, but really it's competition is really
351
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.279
good for everybody because it makes people work harder and
352
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:09.359
now you have something to work against and four right
353
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.039
to get better, not just because you want to. You
354
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.279
have to survive. And when you have alternatives or different
355
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:21.119
places to go. In this case, it's it's great for
356
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.599
the players, it's great for the athletes. To your point,
357
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.799
like you were just bringing up about wrestling and the
358
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.119
partnership's going on, it's a great time for the fans.
359
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.480
It's a better time for the athletes because now we
360
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.119
have options, and it's not just you know, I spoke
361
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.400
about it with Nunzio on the pod. A lot of
362
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:45.440
people ask pro wrestlers when they say when are you
363
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.359
going to quote unquote make it? They mean ww WRESTLMINGIA
364
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.039
World Champion main event, right, And then you heard us
365
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.519
talk with Nunzio about it. Dude, that is like five
366
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.599
people like, that's those are who can do that?
367
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.599
You go to three, you could argue three, right, right.
368
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.559
Yeah, you go to the NFL. You got how many spots?
369
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:09.519
You've got one hundreds of teams, fifty man rosters and
370
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.240
you made it. In our world you don't have that,
371
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:16.799
you have three to five handful of spots. Yeah, So
372
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:22.000
anytime you can make more spots by having more opportunity
373
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:23.640
is a great thing for the talent.
374
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.839
Right, and and forget the politics side too, like not
375
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.720
that you know, the business. Somebody could just not want
376
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.319
you there and all of a sudden, Yeah, it doesn't
377
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.720
matter what you perform unless you're over over right and
378
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.240
even there and they could still I mean, you know,
379
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.480
I look at see him punk and and a lot
380
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:44.440
of the stuff that happened to him one it was
381
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.920
because it was one company at the time, and two like, yeah,
382
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.359
maybe some of it's self inflicted. I'm happy where we're
383
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.160
at now. And you know, he's able to main event
384
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.160
and be a huge, be a champion in WWE, but
385
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:01.240
we're deprived of fifteen years of Punk, right, like because
386
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:03.960
of whatever, Like they just couldn't get along.
387
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:09.319
And I know Punk, I know him and worked with
388
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:13.839
him in AW and yes, and if not for AW,
389
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.480
he probably would have never come back. And he's very
390
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:19.039
open about that to wrestling in general, I should say.
391
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:26.720
And yeah, and what was the reasons people disagreeing? Yeah,
392
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.680
it was opinions of people disagreeing and they got carried away.
393
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.519
And yes, it could have been a lot of things.
394
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.839
But look, that's the best thing about wrestling. What could
395
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.039
have been could still happen now, and it is now,
396
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.720
and even though it's all these years later, that's kind
397
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:43.519
of like the only sport that you could do that
398
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:47.480
in and still make magic happen. Here we are.
399
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:50.680
Yeah, No, it's been great. I mean, you know, I'm
400
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:54.480
excited for WrestleMania. We'll have news on that coming up soon.
401
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.480
But yeah, you touched on it very briefly, but I
402
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.920
want to talk about it one more time. Thirty eight
403
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:04.400
was just announced. That's a new mid life age, and
404
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:06.640
the death rate is at seventy seven years old.
405
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.920
Oh it's seventy seven, okay, yeah, so it actually went
406
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:12.480
up a little bit from when I was.
407
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:15.720
Well, I think this is the world, like I'm sure
408
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:19.880
seventy where you said, But either way, that's that's bad.
409
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.759
That's not good. And I'm a lot closer to death
410
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.960
according to this report than I thought I was a
411
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:26.680
week ago.
412
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:32.200
Let me actually look right now, okay, okay, global life
413
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:36.079
expectancy seventy two to seventy three years, and that was
414
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.759
in twenty twenty three. Well, so you know COVID didn't
415
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.240
help that, right there was right, So that took the.
416
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:47.000
Average down bit, of course, But what.
417
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:50.240
Females sent to live longer with a global average age
418
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:52.039
of seventy five point six.
419
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.039
I was thinking about. I don't know if I shared
420
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.640
this joke with you, but like, of course, females are
421
00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:59.119
going to live longer. Like I'm not trying to be
422
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:02.759
sexist there, but somebody mentioned like how great Ricky Martin
423
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:05.920
looked at at the super Bowl and and you know,
424
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:10.119
obviously he's no longer with the women. And somebody made
425
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:10.880
that suggestion.
426
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:20.480
Listen, I was making this. I made the same joke. Man. Uh,
427
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:25.400
let's just say it, dude, listen. I mean, okay, guys
428
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:26.680
live a very happy life.
429
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.559
Look, I love my woman. It's like it's it's so
430
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.319
much fun. But dude, it is. It's like, oh yeah,
431
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.680
when you what one like?
432
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:38.960
Right.
433
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:42.559
I think we as a males in this society, we
434
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:46.640
put a lot on ourselves that maybe if our partner knew,
435
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:48.880
they'd have no idea. I mean, the amount that we
436
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.720
work even for this podcast just shows that, right, Zach.
437
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.200
So we we tend to put the weight of the
438
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.319
world on our shoulders. So I could see the mental stress.
439
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:00.920
And you know, you always hear man heart attacks more
440
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.480
than female heart attacks, and I think that's a tribute
441
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.599
to to what we do to ourselves as a society.
442
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:12.720
But it's just funny to see a guy who's no
443
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:16.440
longer like you know, who also like probably also got
444
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:18.599
those kind of d ms about his underwear.
445
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.559
And I think it's great because it's funny. But we
446
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:25.640
can be able to laugh about some things.
447
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:31.359
Yeah, not to sound like this, but largely my buddy,
448
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.480
you know, he's he's a gay man, but he was
449
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.279
married he had two kids. I love them, both Aid
450
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.480
and Naida. They're they're they're amazing people. But like he
451
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.759
was the ultimate dad husband, Like he was so good
452
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:48.440
and I was like, and everybody would he was now
453
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.359
that like we all had to reach to be so
454
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.839
Like the second like he said that, you know, he
455
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:58.279
was no longer into women. I was like you sort
456
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.559
of a bit like you made me look so bad.
457
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:06.000
I'll do it. Listen there, it's great. You know, it's awesome.
458
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.559
And I just pulled up a stat while you were
459
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.519
because I had to. This is great, Yeah, this is great.
460
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:19.599
All right. Divorce rates among man to man couples. Actually, wait,
461
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:22.799
so we know we know man and woman is over
462
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.240
fifty percent, right right, right, Okay, man to man twenty
463
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:34.039
eight percent, woman to woman seventy three percent.
464
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:40.319
Okay, that's just the numbers. We're not saying anything.
465
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:44.319
That's st I'm looking at right now that are from
466
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.200
twenty twenty four, all right, and I'm just gonna leave
467
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:48.559
that there.
468
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.599
Yeah, that's a stat that's a stad Yeah comment, dude,
469
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.119
I love I live in the world where facts are facts, right,
470
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.640
Like I love that. Yeah, And lot of people like
471
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.440
try to skew the facts or whatever. So it's tremendous
472
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:05.720
that the facts are on our side for our feelings
473
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.279
for that. But shout outs to Ricky Martin. He looked
474
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.799
like freaking jack dude. He looked great. You know, I
475
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:13.799
didn't even know it was him until he started, like
476
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:16.119
people in the room started saying it was him. I
477
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:19.200
was like, oh my god, But yeah, so I hope,
478
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.160
I hope. Maybe, you know, I think he's gonna outlive
479
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:23.400
seventy seven, god willing.
480
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:26.319
But you know what's super important man to bring up.
481
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.640
We were just talking about mental health. We were just
482
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:36.200
talking about guys guys have to and I read something
483
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.200
else a couple of weeks ago. It was like a
484
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:41.279
floating one of those floating facts you see when you're
485
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:46.119
just scrolling. It was it was men need three guys
486
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:53.519
nights a month to be satiated, like mentally good, yeappy
487
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:57.119
and like well off right, like three guys nights just
488
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:01.640
to chill. And I read that, I'm like, it's totally true. No,
489
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.720
I do not get that. But if I did, like
490
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:09.440
whenever I do, I feel like a whole lot better. Yeah.
491
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.480
I think that's a super important thing to bring up.
492
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.640
Yeah, the ACW for Ty and I even like just
493
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.079
being in the car driving to you and then just
494
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:20.359
getting to experience that, and you know, it was a
495
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.160
lot of work, but also there was a lot of
496
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:25.079
fun times, right, So it was you know, and even
497
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.839
the work was fun, don't get me wrong. Yeah, but
498
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:31.519
the to have that experience. And then I shared with
499
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.200
you why we're talking to Valley Springs and we're talking
500
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:37.240
about the importance of sending the message of check on
501
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.400
your bro right, check on your brothers, check on your mates,
502
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.000
check on your friends, and make sure that they're good.
503
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.119
I literally, in real time, have my buddy that honestly
504
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.240
I thought was doing great based off social media, based
505
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.640
off his viral videos. We're gonna have him on the
506
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.400
show soon. I thought he was doing great. And he
507
00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.000
sends me this text saying I need you, I need you,
508
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.240
I need you for a couple hours. Yeah, I just
509
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.240
need a bro right now. And uh, I screenshoted to you, Zach,
510
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:09.559
and I said, hey, man, I can't be a hypocrite
511
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:13.079
like we're trying to create this message. I got to go.
512
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:16.240
And He's like, go, And I walked right into my
513
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:19.240
Denny's room and I said, hey, I gotta go. Hang
514
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:22.559
out with. My buddy needs me right now. So and look,
515
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:25.720
we sat there, we talked. You know, he's he's got
516
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.759
three young kids under the age of three, two or twins,
517
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:33.359
and life is hard and there's a lot of people
518
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:35.759
losing their jobs left and right. So he was a
519
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.640
part of that situation, and it was just like, you know, hey, man,
520
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:40.599
I'm here. I don't know what I can do, but
521
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:42.519
I want to. I want to be here for you.
522
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:48.000
So sometimes just being camaraderie is just enough now. And look,
523
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:50.880
the world we live in right now is a very unsettling,
524
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:55.480
unpredictable environment for everybody. Everyone sees it and feels it
525
00:27:55.480 --> 00:28:00.720
every day, and sometimes you just need to be around
526
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.079
friends and people that could take your mind off real
527
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.519
life stuff. You can go laugh with you, grab a drink.
528
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:09.079
If you don't drink, go watch a game, or do something.
529
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:13.799
Just hang out. And that's really important to recenter, rebalance,
530
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.720
and refocus, reshape reality to well, I have these people
531
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:23.799
here with me, also probably going through issues, but we're
532
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.880
all together right now in this moment, and that stuff
533
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:29.359
has gone because we're focused on what we're doing right now.
534
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.400
We're friends, we're hanging out, we're laughing. We're having fun,
535
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:35.680
and I do believe it's super important to do that,
536
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:38.000
and it's something I personally could be a lot better
537
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.880
with because I get caught up and stuff, travel whatever
538
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.319
it is, you know, so do you, Mike and they
539
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.440
We talk about that a lot. Well, okay, I mean
540
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:52.599
we're together a lot, but it's like work related stuff.
541
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:54.119
But we try to have fun too, like you just
542
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:58.079
brought up, but when you if there's ever a time
543
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:02.319
to detach and just not do anything and just hang out,
544
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:04.160
those are the best times.
545
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.079
By far, by far, and look like it's also like
546
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.559
I think what the male brain does is we've harp
547
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.640
on the negative or the things that went wrong, and
548
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:16.480
we don't realize how much we accomplished. And I think
549
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:18.720
it's good and bad. You should focus and try to
550
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:21.359
get better and craft your tool on the negative. But
551
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:24.240
you know, and that's that's what's been pretty cool about
552
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:26.559
our whole team with Prestige Access. We keep each other
553
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.839
in check of, hey, we're already doing all this, like
554
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.880
you know, that's pretty awesome, and also like you know,
555
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.759
so we've like mentally we have the right team behind
556
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:39.920
the scenes in front of the camera, and I just
557
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.680
think it's it's been awesome, and yeah, to share those
558
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:46.119
those insecurities or just have real conversations is what this
559
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.920
is all about.
560
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.279
Yeah, we had a and we won't get in the specifics,
561
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.279
but we had a thing a couple weeks ago where
562
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:55.839
you know, we were talking as a team and we
563
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:59.000
were like, oh, this is really good. But and then
564
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:02.240
one of us said, but nothing, look what we're doing,
565
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.720
this is great. Let's just focus on this. And I
566
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:07.160
was like, yeah, you guys are right, because I was
567
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:12.160
I'm always what's next, next, next, how can we do better? Better, better?
568
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:15.160
And sometimes you have to look objectively at it from
569
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.240
thirty thousand feet and say, oh, wait a minute, this
570
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:21.400
is pretty cool. Let's live here for a minute, take
571
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:23.400
the W and go from there.
572
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.400
Yeah, everybody on the outside right now, like my dms
573
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.680
are filled with inappropriate questions to you. But you guys
574
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.440
are crushing it, like you know, and it's it's it's
575
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:36.359
been cool, and it's you know, people are definitely in
576
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:39.200
tuned and watching and you know, it's it's it's been
577
00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:42.799
you know. From like I said, I didn't realize the
578
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:45.640
impact we were already making until we're at ACW and
579
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:47.920
I was walking down the ring and people were heckling
580
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.119
me knowing that he was associated with you, and that
581
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.240
was pretty freaking cool. And I was like, he'll die.
582
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:54.599
They see the logo, they say, they see my bald head.
583
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:56.480
They're like, this guy's gonna interfere.
584
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:59.519
I was like, I promise you on the Enzo too.
585
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:01.440
He was like, don't even start with me, my man.
586
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:03.839
You're like, what do I even do? But he just
587
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.599
recognized you from the show.
588
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:09.119
Yeah, yeah, from the gate. I mean, you know, it
589
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:10.079
was it was pretty cool.
590
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:10.240
Man.
591
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:11.839
That was you know, I'm looking that.
592
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:14.680
The first time you've experienced something like that, Like, yeah.
593
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:19.119
So yeah, that was the first ever to that magnitude. Uh,
594
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:21.160
you know, I've been the raw, I've been this back down.
595
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:24.920
I was at Wrestlemanium Philly, but that was a whole
596
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:25.680
different animal.
597
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:30.920
Well, I mean, like you people recognizing you to that capacity.
598
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:34.680
In a realm where I didn't assume that, yes, that
599
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:36.839
that was That was the first time. Yeah, I did
600
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:40.440
not expect that at all. You know, in the card
601
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:43.039
memorabilia outside, I get that a lot, but it's like,
602
00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:46.920
you know, people knowing me from that when when we
603
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:49.640
had a rod on that it was wild, But normally
604
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:53.880
it's like adjacent people like that knew me before or
605
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:57.559
something that was known to be in a city where
606
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:00.799
I've never stepped foot in and people heckle me like, no,
607
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:02.200
that's never happened in my life.
608
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:04.119
Well that was kind of my fault, I guess, because
609
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:05.799
I cause you were with me.
610
00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:06.519
Realize it.
611
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.720
You and Ty were with me in Gorilla right before
612
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:12.960
the show's about to start. I was going on first
613
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:16.039
and and I was like, yeah, why don't you just
614
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:18.720
go down the ramp, It's fine, and you did. But
615
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.000
looking at it now, it was the start of the show,
616
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:25.599
I guess people would recognize you, so they might have
617
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:30.599
thought it wasn't work, Like oh Powers in his podcast.
618
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:36.160
The camera also like the guy behind me too my camera,
619
00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:38.880
Like there was a long we were in We're in
620
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:41.559
that position for a while before the match actually started.
621
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:44.119
Uh you know, because there was a b roll that
622
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:46.759
ran and you know, just the hyping up of the
623
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:48.480
live pay per view and stuff like that. You don't
624
00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:51.880
realize like, okay, like it. So I had to switch
625
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:53.759
on my batteries and the camera dis The minute the
626
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:57.559
camera died, the guy goes, see, the camera's not even oh.
627
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.359
I was like, yo, dude, I'm switching the battery now,
628
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:03.200
like we are filming this shit, Like I was getting
629
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.440
so I was like, I was yeah, And honestly, you
630
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.440
told us, like, hey, stay to the side because we're
631
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:11.720
going to come in and it's gonna the minute I
632
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.359
get to the end of the ramp, this ship's going down.
633
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.000
So like that was the one thing we knew that
634
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:19.359
there was going to be activity. But I was standing
635
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:20.839
exactly where you told me to stand.
636
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:21.839
But you know, it.
637
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.200
Still became a part of it, which was still something
638
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.279
that I'll never forget. So that Yeah, it's been dude,
639
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:29.519
it's been awesome. It's been cool. And to share that
640
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:32.279
with our audience is it's cool. And like like I said,
641
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:34.319
a lot of those people followed me from that day
642
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.759
and they're commenting and dming us and asking us questions.
643
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:41.519
So it's it's it's been cool. I can't complain at all.
644
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:42.640
It's been awesome.
645
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.759
Well, we're doing We're doing something fun. Man. This is
646
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:49.640
what we This was our idea, this was our thesis.
647
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:51.440
This is what we wanted to do. So now we're
648
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:54.440
doing it. We're in it, and it's work. But it's
649
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:58.559
also fun, like we're talking about right now and we're
650
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:00.559
just starting. Really this is episod so this is going
651
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.960
to be thirteen here. Man, we're gonna be talking someday
652
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.440
when we're at a thousand and imagine what we're going
653
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.639
to be doing then, you know.
654
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:12.239
That's uh yeah, look it's it's been so cool and yeah,
655
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:14.639
I can't can't wait to continue this journey and uh,
656
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.039
you know, hopefully the warm weather. Man, I know what
657
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:19.199
you're getting out of here. You're very lucky to go
658
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.800
south for a couple of days. But you know I'll
659
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:24.920
be thinking of warmth why while you're here.
660
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:28.559
Yeah, well, I'm getting depressed, man, So I gotta We're
661
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:34.760
heading the Universal, so that'll be fun. I am probably
662
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:39.599
gonna have to sacrifice my mental state for the kids
663
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.599
to ride these rides. I don't do well on the
664
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:43.639
roller coasters. Man.
665
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:47.199
People who don't know Zach goes into a cot state.
666
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.800
I just thought it was bad dude before if I
667
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:53.679
didn't know you and you do it well, I just
668
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:56.239
saw you like blinked like your eyes were closed, and
669
00:34:56.280 --> 00:35:01.119
then I noticed every pitch like so I was like
670
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:03.599
wait a minute, like, yeah, dude, that's.
671
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:10.400
It's it's uh, it's by design. I have to. I
672
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:13.000
have to. I can't survive. It's my only way, you know.
673
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:18.000
The the Yeah, so you're going to Orlando, right, yeah
674
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:21.440
versus Orlando cool. Yeah. So we haven't gotten onto that
675
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:25.159
Harry Potter bike ride one yet. Uh. We try to
676
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:29.719
get on it every single time. Yeah. Yeah, my wife's
677
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:32.119
starting to have and and the thing is we're theme parkhead.
678
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:34.519
So it's not like the at bats weren't there. We're
679
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:38.440
there probably two times a year. It's just it's been
680
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:41.519
it's been like a three hour wait every time, and yeah,
681
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:44.840
shut down to Actually when we paid for the fast lane,
682
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:47.840
it breaks down a lot, Yeah it does. Yeah, so
683
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:51.159
that's been a bummer. That Jurassic Park ride is insane.
684
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:52.360
I'm never going on that again.
685
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:58.599
Great Jurassic Park U. Yeah, that's the one. That's That's
686
00:35:58.639 --> 00:35:59.639
what I'm talking about.
687
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:05.599
Its add in the Stardust one, yo. It's Stardust was
688
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:08.480
great the first half. That second half I was like,
689
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:10.199
just launch me out of here.
690
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:13.039
I didn't want to be on Yeah. I think the
691
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:14.280
first part was good.
692
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:16.840
Yeah, and then just get rid of it, like get
693
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:17.440
rid of the rest.
694
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:22.000
Dude. I almost uh I can't do it. I don't uh,
695
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:25.199
I don't know. I feel like, look, they're entirely safe
696
00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:28.199
and all that, but dude, I don't know. I can't
697
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:28.440
do it.
698
00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:30.400
So you got too much to live for my man,
699
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:32.119
I just.
700
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:38.360
Here's my thing. It's like, obviously they test them, right,
701
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:42.679
but what do they put in the seats to test
702
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:43.719
them with? Like dummies?
703
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:48.880
Like, yeah, soies my size, that's fair. That is a
704
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:52.039
fair question. Uh you know they're water dummies.
705
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:52.360
Yeah.
706
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:56.760
Sometimes Also sometimes it's the maintenance people or the employees.
707
00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:59.719
I have been a dummy, I can gladly tell you that,
708
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.360
so they nitro. Also, there's a lot of safety measurements
709
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.960
and stuff like that that like iron curt like electronic
710
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.239
curtains and stuff. So like it's not like two of
711
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:13.519
the trains could occupy a place at the same time
712
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:17.880
unless something catastrophic happened. But there's always safeties and procedures.
713
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:20.880
But again with that said, I'm telling you this, and
714
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.280
the last time I operated a ride, I was seventeen
715
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:26.079
years old, So it's you're alive. Your hands are still
716
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:30.440
in kids' hands, but there are there are computers behind.
717
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:34.239
So we uh we do the VIP guides and they're great.
718
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:39.320
And so I was talking one a couple of years ago,
719
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:45.719
and one thing that Universal and Disney for obvious reasons
720
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:54.239
liability twenty four hours a day. Those are like those
721
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:58.280
rides are protected and like they're on over and tested
722
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:00.559
even when the park is closed throughout the night. They're
723
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.280
running them their service every single night, morning and night.
724
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:10.440
So like you're good, but you know, I just I'm
725
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:12.400
just like, well, dude, who's the biggest guy to ride
726
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:14.079
this ride? Yeah?
727
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.480
Yeah, you know, And I will also share to make
728
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:20.719
it a little more local New Jersey. The six Flags,
729
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:25.079
they're inspected way more than the rides on the shore.
730
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:26.800
Speaking of the Jersey Shore.
731
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:30.400
You mean the carnival rides that you Yeah, I will
732
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:32.960
never go on those things. I don't care.
733
00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:39.360
Yeah, like I love walking the boardwalk seaside any any Yeah,
734
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:41.599
I'll go to any of them. So I'm not going
735
00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:42.320
on those rides.
736
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:44.639
Man. By the way, did they change the name of
737
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:46.280
Moby Dick, the one that goes like this.
738
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:47.920
Well I think they did.
739
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:48.239
Yeah.
740
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:50.519
I saw them were moving some stuff too.
741
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:53.519
Like it was funny because I've never gone on it
742
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:55.760
because I just won't. But I was like, I think
743
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:57.599
it was last year. I was like, it's not called
744
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:02.360
Moby Dick. They changed the name. They did not politically
745
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:03.119
correct anymore.
746
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:03.519
I don't know.
747
00:39:03.599 --> 00:39:04.599
I don't know. I don't know.
748
00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:06.920
Maybe copyright. Maybe somebody came in and swooped that we
749
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:08.360
should have copywritten moby Dick.
750
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:12.639
Yeah, I don't know, but.
751
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:17.639
I can't think that would be inappropriate. I don't know.
752
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:20.039
You never know anymore, man, I don't know.
753
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:22.679
It's wild. Yeah, that stuff is wild. I give up
754
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:23.039
on that.
755
00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:27.239
Yeah, but I will not go on carnival rides. I
756
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:29.719
won't do it. Not to mention. You look at them
757
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:33.039
and they're they turn and then they're coming off the ground,
758
00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:35.199
and you're like, dude, why would I Why would I
759
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:36.239
go in?
760
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.719
The fencing around them is not even up to the
761
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:40.639
indie wrestling.
762
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:46.239
There's more regulation I had been wrestling than carnival rides.
763
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.360
In the back of the they're just in the back
764
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:54.199
of a truck, like sitting there if they're not being used,
765
00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:54.760
Like what is that?
766
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:59.199
And they're traveling also, like you know, obviously there's different.
767
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:02.000
I mean, as you know, the closer out of salt water,
768
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:04.519
even your car gets destroyed. So I can only imagine
769
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:07.440
imagine some of these rides where they've been and I
770
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:11.000
assume they go somewhere over the winner to get winterized
771
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:13.960
or something. But yeah, dude, they get inspected like once
772
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:17.039
a year. I know when they is getting expected every
773
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:18.320
day when.
774
00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:20.639
They opened and then you got you got the janitor
775
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:21.440
with the hot dog.
776
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:22.000
It's good.
777
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:26.840
You know, it worked, it went around once. It's good.
778
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:27.599
You know.
779
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:32.440
I don't know, man, Look, wrestling started as a carnie business, right.
780
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:34.920
A lot of people don't know that. You went to
781
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.320
carnivals and you wrestled. That's how pro wrestling started. I
782
00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:41.440
would rather work one of those shows than go on
783
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:41.960
the rights.
784
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:46.480
Yeah, you know, one more thing that messed with my
785
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:50.400
mental health this week and uh so there was a
786
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:53.960
situation where one of a foundation I work with, they
787
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:58.079
have a circus coming in for the kids, and they
788
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:01.199
were going to use a version of a clown or
789
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:03.960
something and they told them, no, we don't paint our
790
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:08.079
clowns and that clowns aren't put in that kind of
791
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:11.639
paint anymore, or like are aren't reflected that way. That's offensive.
792
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:15.559
I was a great so again the like, now clowns
793
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:19.800
have better rights than bald men in this country. Everybody
794
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.239
rips on me for being bald. By the way I
795
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:25.599
chose to do this. I chose to I still I
796
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:27.800
still had a little bit of hair going, and I
797
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.880
could have I could have went, uh like, kept going.
798
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:33.840
I just one day addicted it and have them looked back.
799
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:38.519
So I wish I was completely like it. Yeah, I
800
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:39.519
like it too, honestly.
801
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:41.719
You know, wait a minute, you gotta go back for it.
802
00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:44.440
So now clowns can't be clowns.
803
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:47.679
I don't exactly exactly like just the way.
804
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:49.599
World nuts, you're a clown.
805
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:52.320
Yeah, I'm gonna get the details. So I reached out
806
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:55.360
to We lived down the street to a clown family.
807
00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:58.719
They were like, yeah, it's wild. So I saw I'm
808
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:01.679
not messing. They would tach us how to ride unicycles.
809
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:04.880
My buddy Mike Seffert, he can actually really really ride one.
810
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:08.119
It was awesome. There were a great family. But yeah,
811
00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:11.159
we called them the clown family, and people like they
812
00:42:11.159 --> 00:42:13.440
were like, yeah, what do you call that. I was like, oh,
813
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:15.039
they're legitimately clowns.
814
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:18.559
That was for dinner and everyone's just wearing the clown makeup.
815
00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:22.760
Or my baby sat their kids once. Yeah, he had
816
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:24.679
to go to an event, and I guess, like they're
817
00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:27.159
real sitter, like canceled and they just saw me out
818
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:33.840
shooting baskets and in my driver why they're like, yeah,
819
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:36.679
I remember too. I didn't negotiate the money happened so
820
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:39.079
quick and they paid me like I was. I felt
821
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:41.400
like the clown after I got that that. You know,
822
00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:43.440
it was not worth it. Let's put it that way.
823
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:47.119
It was three kids, dude, I don't I remember it
824
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:49.480
not being enough to buy like a pack of cards,
825
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:51.320
like and I had to watch three of their kids.
826
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:54.840
It was the worst. Uh. But also like we used
827
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:57.400
to hit you know, we would play baseball and we
828
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:02.039
would hit their house like it was normandy, like just
829
00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:04.800
bombs after bombs. If they if somebody did that to
830
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:06.760
my house, and I swear you could talk to my
831
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:09.599
brother about or whoever, the amount of times we hit
832
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:13.559
their home with a baseball. If you hit my house
833
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:16.679
once like that, I'm coming after your dad, like you
834
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:18.760
know what I mean, Like like we were kids, but
835
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:21.000
I'd be like, yo, you're paying for that ship because
836
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:24.239
we destroyed that house. It looked like a clownhouse because
837
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:27.280
the amount of balls we hit into it. But yeah,
838
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:30.400
it was it was wild man. But yeah, now clowns
839
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:31.880
have more rights than bald men.
840
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:34.320
Which is what a bunch of clowns? Man?
841
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:36.880
Yeah, I feel like the clown I'm gonna start wearing
842
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:37.239
to make.
843
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:41.440
I don't think I go to a world where a
844
00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:43.920
clown is politically incorrect now, but here we are.
845
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:48.000
I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. I'll get
846
00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:50.440
more details and share on the next episode, or or
847
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:52.960
share on their socials because like it was like I
848
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:55.840
didn't know they had rights like that, or even like
849
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:58.920
they were misrepresented, Like could you imagine like the clowns
850
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:01.079
like union coming together like the.
851
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:04.119
Rest of you union? Oh my god?
852
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:09.119
Doing the clown dead? He died, right, I think.
853
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:11.880
I want to say, yes, I think I'm with you there.
854
00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:13.800
Yeah, but he was going to say we could get
855
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:18.119
him on and say.
856
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:19.639
Right, what do you think about this? That's funny man?
857
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:23.559
Well man, it was good to catch up. We have

some exciting stuff coming up j Access. We've got some
859
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:28.760

00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:32.079
really good and definitely on brand for what we spoke
861
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.000

00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:35.840
