ABOUT THIS EPISODE
A long wrestling career is built on airports, rental cars, late-night diners, and conversations you will never hear on TV, and we get into all of it. Mac Davis and WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long talk candidly about the travel grind, how easy it is to burn out on wrestling news, and why so many wrestlers lived out of the same half-unpacked bag for months at a time.
We also take a heartfelt turn while remembering PAC (Neville). Teddy shares what PAC was like in person, and we zoom out into the bigger reality of wrestler health: you can look fine on the outside while something serious is happening on the inside. From there, we dig into why PAC felt underrated, how height bias has influenced WWE decisions, and what it really means to “draw money” when promoters decide who gets pushed.
Then it is pure Road Trips After Hours with live fan questions: why Waffle House became a wrestling road staple, a tense shuttle-bus story that spilled into a Waffle House, and the truth about steroids in wrestling then versus today’s wellness policy and testing. We swap stories about Vince McMahon picking entrance music, plus legendary road tales about Mick Foley saving money in ways that sound unbelievable until you have done the miles yourself.

TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.879
There's a long exit.
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:24.159
Hello again, everybody.
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:25.199
It's a Wednesday night.
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.680
I'm your host, Mac Davis, and that of course is WWE Hall of Famer, Mr.
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.879
Teddy Long, and this is Road Trips After Hours.
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:34.000
Teddy, how you doing?
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:35.680
I'm good, man.
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:36.879
How's everything with you?
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.039
You know, another day, another dollar.
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.479
It's just, you know, I'm glad to be alive every time I wake up.
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.800
Well, that's outstanding.
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.919
You asked me this a while ago about uh news and things that were going on.
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.280
And I I'll be honest, I was hiding from wrestling news and stuff as much as I could the last couple of days.
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.439
I I just got kind of burnt out over the weekend and I just had to decompress.
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:10.159
And uh I every time I do these things, I I I can just imagine the travel uh that you had to do, Teddy.
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.800
Um, I I I God love you, brother.
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.000
I I don't know how you did it.
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.000
It wasn't it wasn't nothing like you doing.
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:21.279
No, well, I mean I had a lot that it was rough, but not as rough as you got it.
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.639
I brother, I don't see, you know, you really gotta have passion.
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.720
I and uh you really want to do this to go through what you go through.
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:39.680
Yeah, you know, and I and I do I love what I do, but uh travel, I just I've heard people say about the travel over the years so much, and I'm thinking you guys were on the road, what, 20, 30 days out of the month?
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:45.199
Um, you know, and and you're just getting home in time to wash clothes and turn right back around and get on the road again.
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:46.240
That's what I did.
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:53.199
I got home, uh stayed there two days, and I washed clothes, and I I used the same bag, I mean, almost maybe a year.
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.199
Because some of it I never did unpack.
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:56.160
I left it in there.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:57.199
You still got bags?
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.680
You think you got bags somewhere where you just came home and they just do it in the corner and they're still probably sitting there?
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:03.519
No, I've thrown all them away.
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.720
I got rid of them.
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.120
I don't want no memory, so I'm like, get let's get all this junk out of here.
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:09.839
Yes.
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:11.360
Pretty classy lady.
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:16.639
Oh, by the way, if you want to be a part of the show, all you have to do is just leave a comment in the comment section.
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.079
We'll throw it up on the screen.
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:19.439
It's absolutely free.
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:20.800
No super chats here.
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.160
Uh, ask anything you want.
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.040
As a matter of fact, all we ask is that you ask questions.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.240
Uh, when you're in here, uh, don't just say hello, but uh give us a question.
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:29.680
Uh, what's what's on your mind?
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:34.079
What did you find uh the most interesting in the last week in professional wrestling?
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.240
Uh, let us know what you want to talk about.
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.959
Uh, that's why we open up these uh lines so we can hear from you uh to know what you want.
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.399
Also, do me a favor, if you will, uh share down below.
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.399
Uh, make sure you're sharing this around, letting people know that we are live right now.
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.959
Uh, I so many times we see our numbers start going up after we're live, uh, which means most people watch this after the fact.
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.199
But man, I'd love to see more and more people build into the live room uh if we can.
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:03.839
So all that takes is just sharing this out there and letting people know that we are here.
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.439
Um, all right, so let's see.
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:10.480
Uh pretty classy lady, I didn't mean to cut you off a minute ago, uh, saying, and here we go.
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:11.120
Yeah.
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.519
Oh man, pretty classy lady, uh, such a sweet lady.
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.079
And she has been with us since the get-go of this uh program, and we certainly appreciate that.
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.079
Yeah, she's a real old fan.
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:22.720
She's great.
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:27.120
Yes, speaking of another loyal fan, uh Dave Crohn in the room saying, Good evening, gentlemen.
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:28.079
Missed you last week.
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.959
What are you guys' thoughts on Pac?
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.560
Uh, Teddy, we were talking about this briefly before we got uh on live.
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.360
Uh, what are your thoughts about uh the death of Pac?
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.560
Well, uh, you and I were talking about that just before we uh went uh live here.
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.800
Uh yeah, it's uh really sad, you know, at such a young age.
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:53.839
Um, and I did have the opportunity to meet him on uh a couple of indies uh and before he did come into WWE.
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.480
So uh what what what what a nice guy.
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:57.439
Great attitude.
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.079
I mean, just was always nice every time you met him.
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.920
So uh it's always sad to hear when something like that happens.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:09.360
But, you know, like I tell people all the time, you know, we can only control what uh what's on the outside.
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.839
We never know what's going on on the inside.
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:20.160
So that's why I made it a motto to uh take care of myself and be more concerned about what's going on on the inside than the outside.
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:31.120
Hey, you know, something else, uh, and this just comes from age, I think, but as you get older, uh, you start realizing that uh you you just want to enjoy the day that you have because you don't know what's in front of you.
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.319
You know, you it's like you're saying, you never know what tomorrow's gonna bring.
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:40.399
Uh so it's much easier live for today, hope for tomorrow, because you're not promised absolutely anything.
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.639
Anything could happen between now and tomorrow.
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.120
Uh so enjoy and embrace every single day.
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.160
So I'm preaching here, Teddy, but it's the damn truth.
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.959
Well, I had uh I had a la, I was checking out.
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:56.720
I went to Pentacle and uh bought some pads for Rufus, and I had this$2 coupon, you know.
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.199
Well, you get$2 after you spend so much or something.
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.600
So the lady asked me, she says, You want to use your$2?
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:02.879
I said, Yeah.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.360
And then she said to me again, she said, Well, why?
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.279
Well, you don't want to let it bill and save it?
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.959
I said, Listen, tomorrow is promised to no one.
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.160
I don't even know what I'm gonna be tomorrow, so I want to use my two dollars right now.
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:15.519
Damn right.
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.560
I understand that more than you know.
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.639
Uh, let's see, we have uh, I'm trying to get the uh next one down here.
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.800
Oh, I did want to mention on pack too.
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:34.000
I didn't know Pac or Neville, depends on uh when you were watching him, whether it was in the WWF or I mean, sorry, WWE or in uh AEW.
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:44.559
But man, I've seen him with some promos that he has done over the years, mainly in AEW, where he was delivering stuff that I didn't know he could even do.
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.879
He was a fantastic heel.
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:55.759
Uh, but I also think he was very underrated for what the work he brought to the uh to the product because he was fantastic in the ring, he was great on the microphone.
00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:00.159
The only area that he really faltered, Teddy, was in the height department.
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:00.960
That was really it.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:02.639
I mean, he had the look everywhere else.
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:04.639
He sounded the part, looked the part.
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.080
He just didn't have the height.
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:17.679
Is that let me ask you, in professional wrestling, during the days like Vince McMahon, was there was he so tuned in that somebody like that probably wasn't gonna make it because he wanted big guys?
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.000
Well, Vince was uh like this.
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.320
Vince understood uh the money part.
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.080
So Vince, you know, like he didn't like short guys, though you're right about that.
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.960
You know, he didn't he didn't care for them at all.
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:33.600
But if that short guy could draw money, then Vince would use it.
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:46.159
And I think he would have used Pac because Pac was a guy, you know, he's a little guy, like you say, but he had a you know, he had great uh mic skills, you know, he could talk, you know, and so all that kind of helps you when you're a little guy, you know.
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.080
If you're able to talk, you know what I mean?
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.360
That kind of helps you out a little bit.
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.000
So I think Vince would have uh certainly used him.
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.799
I we have uh Ellen in the room.
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.399
And uh what happened to?
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.240
You don't see anything on the screen either, do you, Teddy?
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:00.879
I see you.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.399
Let me try this again.
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:03.200
Uh there we go.
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.440
Ellen, hey Mac and uh Teddy, Buddy's dancing to your intro.
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:08.639
I'm glad you like it.
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:10.320
Hope you both are doing well, man.
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:11.519
I'm glad he's dancing to it.
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.720
Yeah, that's one of our favorites uh of the ones that we've had done so far.
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:15.919
Uh and thank you very much.
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:17.279
Hope you're doing well, Ellen.
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:18.159
That's right.
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:18.480
Thank you.
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.559
So I'm saying hello to you guys too, man.
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.480
Tell Buddy I said, keep it real.
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:30.399
Sham Tidma saying, uh, the intro always cracks me up, thinking how long that cool cat's legs must be to touch the pedals.
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:40.080
Yeah, that cat was just uh styling and enjoying life, it looked like uh also we have uh Curly Man saying, Hello, Mac and Teddy.
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.240
How you guys how's your guys' week going?
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:44.960
Hey man, we we we're hanging in, yeah.
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:49.679
And let's see, uh Sham is also saying, Hey, Mac and Teddy, wishing you both the best.
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:50.879
I'm not from the U.S.
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:57.679
and wanted to know why the Waffle House had such a notorious reputation back in the day.
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:04.320
Teddy, I look, I I have no doubt that you have visited many Waffle Houses and uh and your trips.
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:08.559
Any uh memories or road stories from a Waffle House that that comes to mind at all?
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.080
Maybe a fight in a in a Waffle House or anything like that?
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:13.759
No, none of that.
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.480
I mean, we stopped and ate and ate it ate at plenty of them, and that was just about it.
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:26.000
But I'm trying to remember there was something I would happen with me and Kevin Sullivan, God rest the soul, and I was at a Waffle House in Baltimore.
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.159
I'm trying to remember what happened there.
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:37.600
I think the shuttle we was on the shuttle bus, and the shuttle bus driver said something to me.
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:46.559
Uh we me and the shuttle bus driver got into it in some kind of way, but Kevin heard him call me the N-word, and then that's when it went off, went left field.
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:51.200
So we ended up getting off the shuttle bus and we took it all the way into the Waffle House.
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.519
I remember I remember I've kind of remembering that a little bit.
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.360
Yeah, I remember you told me that story before, so I do remember as soon as you start telling me.
00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:58.639
I do remember that story.
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.759
Yeah, yeah, that's that's funny that you mentioned that because I forgot about that.
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.200
Yeah, waffle houses.
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:08.480
And the reason why you hear so many of the guys and girls talk about a Waffle House, or at least at one time.
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:14.000
I don't know how often they actually, because now everybody's so health conscious, maybe a Waffle House isn't where they're gonna go.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:22.960
But the fact of the matter is, it's one of the few places that are actually open uh at the time that you're on the road and you want to eat, and the food is not that bad.
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.759
Teddy, I've had fantastic food at Waffle House.
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:26.960
This is a free plug.
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:31.519
Uh, but man, their pork chops are delicious, the breakfast setup is delicious.
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:36.320
If you're looking for a quick, affordable meal, that's a great place to go.
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:41.679
Yeah, well, when I was eating like that, that was good, but I ain't been on a waffle house in 15 years.
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:43.759
Yeah, we're gonna have to go buy longer.
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.279
We may have to go buy one next time we're on the road just to get you back up to done.
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:48.879
No, we don't need it.
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.279
Keep you cleaned out good, Teddy.
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.639
That's the great thing about Waffle House.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.240
Man, you can keep yourself uh going.
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.200
Christian Rodriguez Espino saying, What's up, guys?
00:12:59.440 --> 00:12:59.840
Been a while.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.440
Hope everyone is doing good.
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:02.879
Uh back at your brother.
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:03.600
Thank you.
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:04.639
We're good, man.
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:09.279
And we have, let's see, murder party saying, Whoop whoop.
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.159
Teddy loves that whoop whoop.
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.919
And it I was it was funny.
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.480
This came up uh on this past weekend as we were traveling.
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:30.080
One of the fans came over to me uh and said they watched the show and mentioned the fact that I always say something about when people when we have words like on the screen going whoop whoop, uh, that everybody in the background I can hear them going whoop whoop all over the place.
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:40.320
He said it's like it's the same thing he does too, because if you get around these juggalos at the uh JCW shows, one person says whoop whoop, the whole building has to say whoop whoop.
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:44.320
So every time I'm saying whoop whoop, there's everybody out there going whoop whoop at the same time.
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:45.759
I guarantee you, Teddy.
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:47.600
It's it's uh it's a crazy thing to see.
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.360
And I mean it's it's religious.
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:50.799
All right, here we go.
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.480
We have uh man, I hope I get this right.
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.120
Uh let me try this over here.
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.200
Uh Baymax, please.
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.879
I'm hoping that's right.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:11.360
Uh hey, Teddy Long, what are your thoughts on people who say wrestlers should take steroids like they did in the old days, despite how it affects their bodies?
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.360
I don't know anybody that said that.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.879
Who said that wrestlers should take steroids like they did back in the day?
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:18.799
I ain't I haven't heard anybody say that.
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.559
Yeah, I haven't heard that either.
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:28.399
Now, I I'm guessing that maybe it's just uh maybe uh fans saying, oh, they need to get back on you know steroids and look more like the monsters of yesterday.
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:38.879
Uh you got to remember too now, back at one time, steroids were actually legal uh before at one point, uh before there was a big uh throwdown, and guys were using them all the time.
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.519
Well, the guys was people start abusing them.
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:47.600
You know, once you start abusing, I don't care what it is, once you start abusing it, then you're gonna start, you know, causing a problem.
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.639
Uh when guys took steroids, they did that on their own.
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.159
That was just on them, you know.
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:59.039
And like I said, back in the day, guys wanted to look good and then it helped you out, you know, help you keep a job too, you know, because you wanted to look good.
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.000
But uh, you know, like I said, they got policies now.
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.320
I think they take drug tests for the steroids.
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:09.600
So if you if you find test positive for that, then you're you know you're in trouble or whatever to do.
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.679
It's a fine or something or suspension.
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:13.840
So they're real careful about that now.
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.519
But like I said, you know, back in the day, you know, it is it it was what it was.
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:21.039
Yeah, and again, it was legal uh up until a certain point.
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.399
So a lot of guys were taking it and they weren't breaking the law by taking it.
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.320
Uh, and then it was it was classified differently, and that's when it stopped.
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:34.399
And a lot of the guys who were taking it before, well, they got an image they got to maintain, or they're in, you know what I'm saying?
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:36.159
It's just what it comes down to.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.679
Uh, but uh, and it was used in every sport you can imagine.
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.919
Uh, it wasn't just in traditional restaurants.
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.399
I'm pretty sure it's used now, you know what I mean.
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.360
They, I mean, they people know how to cover things up.
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:48.559
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:49.919
I don't doubt that for a second.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.399
And that's in any company, every company.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.320
Uh Dave Crohn, Waffle House Turkey Sandwich is good.
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:57.840
I've not had the turkey sandwich.
00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.039
I'll have to try that, Dave.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.440
God, aren't you the one that maybe eat that other sandwich?
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.279
Dave, what is it about food?
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:16.399
Uh pretty classy lady is saying Mark Jindrak had a funny story about how Randy Orton and Maven almost got arrested for a staged fight prank uh back in the day.
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:20.720
Do you remember that some kind of prank where Maven and Randy Orton were going to get in a fight?
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:21.360
No.
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.000
I there there was a lot.
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:28.320
Uh Maven had so much freaking potential in that company.
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:33.600
When I saw him come in and I remember him kicking Undertaker, you know, out of the ring.
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.919
I thought, holy shit, there's a rocket on this kid's back now.
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:40.879
I mean, you just took the Undertaker out of the ring.
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.200
So Vince had to see some major upswing in him in the beginning.
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:46.639
Yeah, I'm sure he did.
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:48.240
Uh Maven was a great guy.
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.320
You know, I think he got from that tough enough too.
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:54.480
I believe he started in that uh before he you know came to WWE.
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.879
Um, yeah, he was great in the ring.
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:58.480
So, you know, I don't know what happened there.
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:02.799
Maybe just you know, he decided he just didn't want to do it anymore.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:04.480
All right, let's see.
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:09.599
Uh, we have Sham saying, Teddy, who selected the iconic track for your entrance?
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.960
And were there any other songs to choose from?
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:19.440
Uh no, uh Ben Vince chose uh the Mac Milliton was the name of the song, and that was Vince's uh choice.
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:21.039
He chose that song for me.
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:22.000
That's very cool.
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:23.920
I I didn't know that Vince actually chose it.
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:24.799
Yeah, he did.
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:25.279
All right.
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:30.480
But listen at the words, and you can kind of see, you know, the black, the Mac Milliton.
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:32.880
You know, I'm just surprised that he ever heard the song before.
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.599
Somebody had to bring it to him and say, hey, this might fit.
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:36.240
I can't imagine.
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.200
The music guy, I believe it's Craig Tello.
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:44.079
I'm not sure, I think so, but uh I'm sure he let you know, let Vince.
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.359
It was really basically Rodney Mack's song.
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:47.920
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:56.720
And uh when we first started, and then after, you know, we we you know listened to the words, and you know, the kind of words kind of related, you know, to my story, you know what I mean?
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.839
So I think that's what but Vince is the one that liked it.
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.079
Did you ever hear Vince listening to music?
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.759
And what was he listening to?
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:06.160
No, I never did hear him listening to music.
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:18.000
One time I was on the plane with him, and uh he was doing something, he was listening to something, and he had his little glass of wine and stuff there, and he's kind of you know bumping a little bit, but uh you never see him lose like that much.
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:18.799
You know what I mean?
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.720
Sometimes you'll catch him, you know, and he's really relaxed, but you don't see that much.
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.039
I just always wondered, is he a rock and roll guy?
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.440
Is he like the older stuff, newer stuff, you know?
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:33.200
Because he that usually tells a lot about a person, and I've never known what he actually would listen to.
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:34.720
Uh I've never heard.
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.799
I well, I know he liked uh Teddy Long music because he danced to it one time.
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.799
So you gotta love that.
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:49.359
Uh let's see, Christian uh Rodriguez is saying, Hey, have you guys ever road tripped with each other before?
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:54.960
Uh several times, uh numerous times, uh Teddy and I have been up and down the road going somewhere.
00:18:55.200 --> 00:19:05.519
Uh and and that that's really where sometimes I wish we could roll film in the car because some of the conversations we have in the car are far better than what we can say here.
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:10.000
Well, when you were going to WrestleCade with me every year, you know, we rode together there.
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:17.680
Uh we know went up to Winston Salem, but then by the way, uh I'll be there this year too at the uh Benton Convention Center for Big Wrestle Cade.
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.160
I'll be there along with a lot of other great superstars.
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.680
So you know how that goes.
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.680
Yeah, and and and and we always had fun doing that down at Jacksonville too.
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.839
We would always go by the sushi place uh and eat dinner there.
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:31.920
Uh yeah, that was a good place to eat.
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:33.759
Boy, did they have some good sushi?
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:34.960
They had some rolls in there.
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:36.079
I'd never even heard of.
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:36.960
Remember, Matt?
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.160
God remember the uh fried Oreos?
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.599
I wouldn't mind having some fried Oreos right now.
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:50.480
Fried Oreos, we had no clue what we were eating.
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:52.960
It was just we knew that there was something they because they brought it out.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:55.920
It wasn't something we ordered, they just brought it to us at the table.
00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:01.039
And when it got to the table, uh we both tried it and it was like, holy crap, that's good.
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.640
And we had to ask what it was, and they finally told us it was a fried Oreo.
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:05.599
I've never had one.
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:06.880
Man, that was good.
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:08.720
If you ever get a chance, try one.
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:10.799
Uh, let's see what else we got here.
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:13.759
We have Michael Steele saying, Holla, player.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.640
Oh, yeah, good to talk to hear from Michael.
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:25.039
I had a chance to see him uh up in uh uh I was trying to forget what part of North Carolina we were in, though, but went up to do a show and Michael was there, man.
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:26.640
It was so great to see him.
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:31.039
He brought me some stuff to keep my old rusty truck clean, like he always does.
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:32.640
He always looks out for me there.
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:36.480
And it was just so much fun having a chance to sit and talk to him for a while.
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:38.880
And he had a chance to meet Denise and talk to her.
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:40.480
So it was a great time.
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:42.160
Denise, I know you're watching.
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:43.039
Hey, baby.
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:53.519
Uh Christian is saying, uh, do you think people take steroids at all nowadays outside of professional sports?
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.000
Well, I mean, I don't know.
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.319
I I mean, why would they want to take it unless they just wanted to take some?
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.079
I mean, you have guys that do that too.
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:03.839
They just take it just to be taking it.
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:05.920
And so, I mean, I don't know.
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.880
I think I just can't answer that.
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:11.599
No, and and and Teddy's right.
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:19.440
Uh, there are people who, you know, not in professional wrestling, the just average people uh that I know that do.
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:24.079
Uh, and it's it's just part of the lifestyle that they live, and they that that is what it is.
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:26.960
Uh everybody can make that decision for themselves.
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:33.839
Um, I and you know, I um it's again, it's not just in uh professional sports.
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:35.200
It it's everywhere.
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:37.599
It's it's it's just like anything else, it's everywhere.
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:44.160
And people try to really target after wrestling uh because oh, it's it's it's the wrestlers' faults that we have this problem.
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:48.079
And the Hollywood stars that are on screens with all these big muscles.
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:53.759
No, no, you're you're just trying to make it you're looking at one small area of what is a larger problem.
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:57.359
Well, here's the question Who puts that needle in you?
00:21:58.480 --> 00:21:59.200
Who does that?
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:06.960
Nobody What's you so you can't talk about what nobody did or what they gave you, and then you you you're responsible for your own action.
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:08.240
Absolutely true.
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.599
Connor, uh sitting in the room right now, just saw him this past weekend.
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:13.839
Good to see you saying, Hey, Mac and Teddy.
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:15.839
Hey, what's happening, Connor?
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:19.759
And we got uh Jared saying, question for Mac Davis.
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:22.960
I know Vince Russo left JCW.
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:28.000
I know the JCW Backstage Lunacy show was on Vince Russo's channel.
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:33.440
Will the JCW Backstage show be on another YouTube channel in the future?
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.240
Thanks.
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.319
Uh Jared, we had a meeting uh on the phone today about that.
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:47.920
And uh it's on the shelf right now with some things that are gonna get tweaked and done differently in another type of format uh that I think you're gonna enjoy.
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:49.519
Um so just kind of stay tuned.
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:50.640
You'll see what's coming soon.
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:57.279
But uh yeah, we you know we did uh once uh Vince left uh JCW and you know they went their own ways.
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:05.200
Uh, you know, we had to come off of Russo's brand, uh, which I'll be certainly appreciate his uh allowing us to do that show over there all this time.
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.279
Uh and uh but we will be back.
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:08.000
Just keep watching.
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:10.720
You'll you'll you'll find us sooner rather than later.
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:24.400
Um and let's see, uh Sham is saying, uh Teddy, I've heard that the two of the nicest wrestlers on the planet were Owen, God rest his soul, and Foley, who are known to be very cheap.
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.400
Can you please share any stories uh attaining to this?
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.319
Well, you're right about that.
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:35.519
Owen was uh, I don't know about the cheapness, uh, but he was, God rest his soul.
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:37.119
Again, he was outstanding.
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:38.400
What a great guy.
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.720
And he was a guy that always was funny.
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:42.960
I never saw Owen mad about nothing.
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:49.839
He'd always be ready to pull a rib on you or something, something to make you laugh, but he was real entertaining and what a nice guy.
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:52.559
Uh Nick Foley, there's a story about him.
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:54.240
Uh, you know, he's real cheap.
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:57.359
You know, he um would go to the hotels.
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:04.799
Let's just say if he had a five o'clock flight, he would go to a hotel around two in the morning and he wouldn't get a room.
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:06.960
He would just go to sleep in the lobby there.
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:12.880
So and wait until, you know, and catch the shuttle bus in time to go and uh catch his flight.
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.359
But uh yeah, I I heard that story about him.
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.000
He just sleep in the lobby, wouldn't spend a dime.
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:23.519
Now that I don't see you being that cheap, but uh of course you're also one of the known to be one of the cheap ones too.
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:26.640
Uh for well, I I'm not gonna sleep in the hotel lobby.
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:33.359
I if I'm if I get there in time, I'm gonna get in my room and try to shower and you know, and got get some kind of sleep.
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:38.240
But uh just in that lobby and no shower after you done worked all day and stuff.
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:39.680
Nah, I can do that.
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:40.160
Yeah, yeah.
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:43.920
I've always been the type too, man, at the end of the day, I want to shower.
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:48.160
I want to be able to scratch my ass without having to worry about anybody being around me and you know, worrying about it.
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.720
And I want to watch what I want and go to sleep without having to deal with other drama.
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:54.880
I need that peace and quiet.
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:56.960
Uh and uh, and I know.
00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:58.559
Oh, yeah, I remember this story too.
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:01.599
Back in the day, I think uh was I Rip Rien?
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:02.079
I don't know.
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:08.960
Maybe I just started managing, and uh we was in uh Little Rock somewhere, and we went to go over to Texas.
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:12.799
But anyway, I remember Nick didn't uh have nobody to ride with or something.
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:13.839
He didn't want to rent a rip car.
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:14.240
That's true.
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:15.119
You're talking about, right?
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:16.559
No, I'm talking about Nick Foley.
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:17.519
We were talking about it, okay.
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:18.640
Nick Foley, okay.
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:26.880
Yeah, we were talking about Nick, and uh and he didn't have a rental car, and then so what he did, he like I said, he was cheap, he wouldn't spend no money.
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:36.480
He rolled in the back of the ring truck with all that steel, and it was cold and ice and stuff, so you know how cold it was with all that iron steel back in that ring truck.
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:44.960
But he rode from Little Rock in that truck all the way to I think we might have been in Dallas or somewhere in Texas, but uh he did do that.
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:47.599
Do you remember about what hotels were costing back then?
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:50.319
Just for an I mean, if he wanted to get a room, what was he gonna spend?
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:50.880
Do you think?
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:52.880
I just don't know.
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.680
I mean, you could get a you know, a nice hotel for 70, 80 bucks, you know, nice, you know.
00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:59.279
That between two people, right?
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.079
If you were yeah, but he yeah, but he wouldn't do it.
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.000
He wouldn't I know he ain't gonna do that.
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:08.640
Well, he well, you know, he was out that say another guy, Nunzio, a guy.
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.440
I loved him.
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:10.640
He was like that.
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:18.079
He would go get he would go to a hotel, and what he would do if they had a bar, he would just go in the hotel.
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:26.799
He never would get a room, he he would stay go to the bar and sit in the bar all night, or he would get a room and then he would go up the next, you know.
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:32.079
Once the bar finally closed, he would just go up and shower and then he'd go straight on to the gym.
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:33.920
I mean, I never seen anything like it.
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:40.720
And when he went to the desk, they would tell him he would ask how much it was, and then he wanted to know was that with tax?
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:46.240
Oh, he'll ask him, he they tell him what certain rooms 109.
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:47.680
Ah, is that with tax?
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:54.160
Yeah, he yeah, he was like yeah, and he wouldn't get no room.
00:26:54.240 --> 00:27:04.079
I mean, he'd try to get a little something, but he'd just shower and he'd come to the gym, hadn't had no sleep or nothing, and drink all night, and you'd see him get right on that threadmill walking, man.
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:05.279
Oh, good God.
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:06.559
No, no, no, no.
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:08.960
Uh, let's see.
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:13.839
Uh Christian saying, any good stories on the road with each other?
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:19.039
I I'm trying to, you know, I don't really know of anything that comes to mind.
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:20.799
The one thing I can think of, Teddy.
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:22.720
No, no, there is a time.
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:36.000
We were working a show uh in Jacksonville, and one of the guests that was there among a lot of wrestling stars was The Godfather.
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.960
Well, Godfather had his dab.
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:41.279
If I believe it was the dab.
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:53.279
And uh so Teddy and I decided we might just partake a little bit and we go back and we have to cut in to do a a break for this particular show right here.
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.240
We're gonna film uh to put out there for you guys.
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:03.119
And as we start, Teddy is so high that he's looking in the wrong direction while the camera's rolling.
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:06.480
I actually had to remind him to turn around and face the camera.
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:10.000
That's probably one of the funniest moments I can think of of our road trips.
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:20.480
Um, and and also I can remember uh one of the road trips being on Thanksgiving when Teddy and I were on the road and we actually had to go to an Indian restaurant on Thanksgiving.
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.039
Oh man, worst food I've ever had.
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.480
Now it's just because the stuff was so hot.
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:28.160
Uh I couldn't handle it.
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:30.319
But uh Teddy, you seemed to enjoy the meal.
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:32.640
Well, I finally got something that I could eat.
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.799
I mean, you know, it wasn't too bad, you know.
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.839
Yeah, it was all right, but that was a bad choice.
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:40.079
Yeah, and and there just was nowhere else to go.
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:43.519
It's like, but this is the only thing this opened, and it's like a bad place.
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:45.440
I was like, Well, let's try it.
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:47.200
So all right, let's see.
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:50.799
Uh Dave Crohn saying, We do fried Twinkies in St.
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:51.440
Louis.
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:54.240
I'm thinking I may have had a fried Twinkie before.
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:57.519
I I do love a good Twinkie, uh, fried or not.
00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:59.119
Uh let's see.
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:03.680
Uh, we got a few more minutes here, and we have Jared saying, How did you two meet each other?
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:11.599
Uh, I was actually dead, if best I can remember, I was doing some interviews, and that's really how we met because I came in to interview you.
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:25.599
Uh, and and so, but we really, and I say this all the time, we really didn't get to know one another until we started doing some independent work in Georgia, uh, and specifically for one company where he and I realized, you know, we click really good.
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.559
And uh, and and that's why we love doing this show.
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.160
Uh, there's no preparation for this, man.
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.359
We just turn on the freaking microphones and let you guys ask the questions.
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:38.480
And Teddy and I give each other shit no matter what, if we're live or if we're not live and driving in the car.
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:40.559
Um, so we decided to do this.
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:43.519
But uh, and that was several years that we were on the independence.
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:47.440
So I think it was something that we always knew was gonna happen sooner or later.
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.319
Oh, yeah.
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:58.400
Well, like I said, uh the the other way too is um Mac would always come to somebody in the shows, excuse me, and then he'd come to some of the uh WWE shows.
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:08.640
And just because, you know, he hadn't, you know, wrestled for none of the big companies, and a lot of guys would see him and just, you know, kind of shun, you know, didn't want to talk to him or wouldn't speak, you know.
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:13.680
And so I just saw him, you know, and after he talked to me and interviewed me, and then I met him again.
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:16.079
And so I'm like, what is it you do?
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:21.759
And he told me about the podcast and stuff, and I said, Well, you know, whatever it is, I said, I'll help you.
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:26.160
Whatever you just tell me what you want me to do, and let me, if I can help you, I'll help you.
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:28.640
And so that's how this all started.
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:31.599
So uh I'm I'm really thankful that I met Mac.
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:32.640
He's a great friend.
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:35.759
I mean, you couldn't meet a better or nicer guy.
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.640
I appreciate that.
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:38.079
And I and I say this all the time.
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:43.119
You hear in wrestling where they say you can you can count on one hand your real friends in wrestling.
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:50.799
Deddy is my top guy right there, uh, because he has done so much for me, and I will always uh remember that.
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:51.680
Um, let's see.
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:53.039
Well, we got uh a few more minutes.
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:54.160
Let me get these in here real quick.
00:30:54.240 --> 00:31:04.799
Christian saying, speaking on Randy, I recently heard a podcast on Conan saying that Juventud Guerrera asked Randy Orton for a kiss when he was drunk.
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:12.160
Psychosis on another podcast claims that's why WWE, that's why WWE let him go.
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:14.559
Uh, did you guys ever hear of this before?
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:16.799
Now, this is the first time I've heard of it.
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:19.920
No, I never heard of that before.
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:22.559
But I did hear about Hoover, dude.
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.000
I did hear he, you know, was was was a strange.
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:28.160
So, you know, that could have happened.
00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:29.119
I don't know.
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:32.960
But I mean, no matter what, you you know, I mean, that's that's his part of it.
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:34.880
Whatever he wants to be or do, that's on him.
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:36.319
I don't care, don't bother me.
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:43.039
Yeah, so I don't know why, if that is true, why would they let a guy why would they get rid of him for doing something like that?
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:43.839
Jesus Christ.
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:48.079
Yeah, I think you'd have a lawsuit if that were actually the case for his being fired.
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:49.680
Uh I don't know.
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.960
Again, I don't know anything about the story.
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:53.440
I've seen a lot of the guys do that.
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:56.880
I mean, you know, guys, you know, they get too get too much liquor in them.
00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:59.039
They're come here, give me a kiss, hug me.
00:31:59.200 --> 00:31:59.839
You know what I mean?
00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:03.839
So it just, yeah, it's yeah, I wouldn't even pay that no attention.
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.839
Ralph Dave saying, I it's Ralph Dave from South Africa.
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:08.960
It's 125.
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:11.200
When he wrote that, it was 125 a.m.
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:12.000
Ralph.
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:14.319
Um we appreciate that, man.
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:20.960
I know you pop in here from time to time, and we certainly appreciate you uh watching us that early in the morning.
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:22.079
Uh thank you.
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:23.519
Yes, absolutely.
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:26.799
And also, we have uh pretty classy lady.
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:32.400
Uh, how do y'all feel about sliced onions on barbecue ribs, Daddy?
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:36.880
I've never had sliced onions on barbecue ribs.
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:43.519
Uh I've just only had the straight rib uh that Denise fixes, you know, and I tell you about them, they just fall off the bone.
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:46.319
God damn, I'm I'm outstanding.
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:54.160
I've I've had some uh barbecue that uh I if it if it tastes good, I don't care what's on it, as long as it tastes good.
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:55.839
Uh even onions.
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:57.200
I don't mind onions at all.
00:32:57.359 --> 00:32:59.920
And uh, in fact, there's a lot like I love stir fry.
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:03.440
I did have some steak tips and stir fry over this past weekend.
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:05.440
Oh, it's just so good.
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:13.440
Uh, but uh, you know, nowadays too, Teddy, I'm afraid to eat a lot of this freaking lettuce because every time you turn around, I don't eat it at all.
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:19.920
It's just it's like, oh, you can't eat lettuce, can't have jalapenos, you can't have this because they all got this, you know, kind of hysteria.
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:21.599
Well, I don't know, whatever the hell was good.
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:24.240
I never did eat it before all this they started talking about.
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:26.400
I just never was a lettuce person.
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:33.279
I you know, like when I get a salad, I'll tell them, you know, easy on the lettuce light on just a little bit, you know, because I know they gotta give you some.
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:34.000
Yeah.
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.200
Herb Simmons is in the room saying hello, gentlemen.
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.000
Hey, Herb Simmons, ladies and gentlemen.
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:41.599
Yeah, show your love.
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:43.839
Herb is uh good to see you in here.
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:47.279
And uh actually, I was working on something that we were talking about the other day.
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:48.799
Uh, I was doing that this afternoon.
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:50.720
My wife actually was helping me with some of that.
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:53.359
Uh I put it to work on the print everything.
00:33:53.519 --> 00:34:02.319
And I let me say this, you know, I know we heard about Herb's been a little bit under the weather a little bit, so I hope he's doing better now and uh you know everything's coming along for him.
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:06.720
Sham Tinma, uh, we'll use this to close out the show because we are running out of time.
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:10.960
Uh saying, Mac and Teddy, did you share the gas money on the road?
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:17.199
Um, well, you know, Teddy has a tendency of falling asleep quite a bit when the gas pumps uh come around.
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:27.280
I and that's how I know for a fact uh that every time that I hear somebody say that he would fall asleep, you know, at a toll booth or at a gas pump gas pump.
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.800
You heard anybody say that but Ron Simmons and JBL, aren't you?
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:32.800
Oh, and they and they're both honest.
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:33.840
You know they're both honest.
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:36.079
There's a story.
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:37.440
Sure they are.
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:39.679
Uh Teddy, uh, what you got going on?
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:41.840
Anything coming up you want to talk about before we get out of here?
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:43.920
