I don't think you'd say this is my tone Can you be happy with your low voice? No, I think you have to have a lot of range Speaking of hot guys You didn't know any hot guys? Yeah, but here's the thing I was thinking about your Freddie Prinze thing about how you didn't know any hot guys? Yeah, but here's the thing. I was thinking about your Freddie Prinze thing, about how you didn't know anything about how hot he was.

He was forgotten, sort of. And I was thinking of some other forgotten hot guys from his era. I want to see if you remember them. Hold on, what? Wow. This is a real show. You're preparing things now. I'm a very busy guy.

I have a lot going on. Okay, they're not all from the 90s. Okay, so remember this guy? Zoom in. Okay, yeah, yeah. Remember have a lot going on. Okay. They're not all from the nineties. Okay. So remember this guy zoom in. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Remember this guy? Oh my God.

What else was he in? I, I've seen these eyes. Okay. He's in a movie with Freddie Prinze Jr. Do you know? It's about baseball. Oh, Perfect Catch? No, close. Catch is correct.

Summer Catch. Oh my god! I fucking love... Jessica Beal? Yeah. They tried to make her a movie star. Didn't work, did it? Didn't work as good. Seventh Heaven was her thing. Beverly D'Angelo's in that. Wilmer Valderrama. Oh, fuck. Not the best movie, but it's pretty fun.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. This guy's hot, dude. He's also still on TV. He's on that one show. This guy's still hot? He's still pretty hot. He kind of reminds me of Ryan Stastick a little bit. Oh, he's got like a hot, he's got hot eyes.

Okay, but I want to go to a more 2000s. All right, who you got? Yeah, he's got those deep eyes. Stastick's got deep eyes. They just go right through you. They're both like 6'4", too. All right. Who you got? Yeah, he's got those deep eyes. Stace has got deep eyes. They just go right through you. They're both like 6'4", too. I know. God damn it.

I want to know what it's like to be hot your whole life. Holy shit. I'm the wrong guy. Look at that, though. This guy is Friday Night Lights. I remember the Panthers. I love that show. But this guy was always hot.

Clear eyes. Every movie. Taylor Kitsch is his name. Pretty hot. It's a hot guy. He's got the deep eyes. They're never looking at the camera. Why is 90s?

Why is everyone in the 90s? Their hair is so greasy. There's a younger. Oh my God. Where'd this guy go? Dude, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Jonathan Taylor Thomas got the check and dipped. That's Jonathan Taylor Thomas on the right.

I feel like he just got his whatever X million dollars. He's like, peace Hollywood. Is he smoking a vape? Hell yeah, he is. He's Jonathan Taylor Thomas on the right? I feel like he just got his whatever, X million dollars, like, pace Hollywood. Is he smoking a vape? Hell yeah, he is. He's Jonathan Taylor Thomas. He can do whatever the hell he wants for the rest of his life. He looks like a fat Christian Slater. What do you think his net worth is?

Ooh, that's a good question. I want to look it up. Home Improvement. That's a big-ass show. Also, Lion King. Lion King 2? He was in Lion King? I'm going to say $60 million. No way.

$16 million. And that's from Celebrity Net Worth. How could they be wrong? It's the first thing that comes up. Why are they always dogging our boy Jonathan Taylor Thomas? Look at this photo they have for his network. He looks strung out. He looks like he's been hanging out with you for three years. But he looks like 15. Just strung out.

He was 15 at one point. We all were. It'd be so weird to be a childhood star. Hard pass for me. Oh my god. That was my dream. I was in the Jersey. Remember that show? What? Remember the show on Disney, the Jersey? I didn't watch any Disney growing up, you rich

kid. No, because you're fucking old as fuck. You're 40. We had Disney. It's been around since the 1930s, bro. Not Disney Channel. Yes, I bet Disney Channel's been around since like 1980. Google it. I doubt it. I think it was in the 90s

because I was jacked up. I was like an extra in the show The Jersey and I played a flag football guy and I thought it was awesome. I got paid 500 bucks. There were Disney shows in the show The Jersey, and I played a flag football guy, and I thought it was awesome. I got paid 500 bucks. There were Disney shows in the 80s. What? Yes, like remember Dumbo and all that stuff?

That was a movie. No, Dumbo Disney show. Use your mic. I can't. I'm doing this. Dumbo Circus, 1985. That was a Disney show. Oh.

I don't know, but then there's like, I think, look, it says Original Network, the Disneycus, 1985. That was a Disney show. I don't know. It says Original Network, the Disney channel, 1985. It's older than you think. Disney's been around for a long time. They've had a monopoly on this for years. Why have we said slaves to Disney? I don't know. I don't like any of that.

You know how it's like Disney? These people are in their 30s and they go to Disney together. There's no kids with them. what's that what's going on there i don't get that i don't know they're called disney adults have you heard of them do you think john and taylor thomas is fucked up no i think he's like the fact that he hasn't done anything in 20 years in hollywood makes me think he's probably doing great yeah he put you got he's got a 16 million dollars according to Celebrity Net Worth. I'm down with that. I'll take $16 million. You could live off that.

I feel like he's just chilling. Of course you could live off that. I live off of fucking Top Rock. What's my net worth? I looked it up once. They really have my net worth? How much do they think

a jam musician makes? It's on YouTubers.me. It says you're worth between $626. I can't see it. What? How much? $626 and $3.76K. That is bullshit, but also I like that.

A little high? What's the mortgage like on this place? It says you've made $5. Actually, this is true. It says you've made $5 in the last seven days. That probably checks out. $5? This might be just off your YouTube stuff.

Oh my God. I saw one another time. Do you think girls look up my net worth and say, oh, fuck that? I don't think anyone thinks that you're famous enough to be listed online as having a net worth weirdo. God, I'm such a narcissist. Um, wow. You are more of a narcissist than I thought. I blame your mom. We've been over this and she loves you so much. She loves me sent me did you see what you sent me those cards she's like just in case you're having a bad day here's um like 200 spiritual cards they'll keep you

having a good day did you read all 200 i started reading a couple of them dolov read a few i feel like you're her hobby or something that she does gambling i guess so i was gambling and she likes slots and Andy. Andy. And then kind of yelling at your dad, but like in a fun, playful way. Right. I didn't think about that. Like they've been married a hundred close to 50 years.

That's so long to be married to someone. Every day, Bruce Rasko. Every day, Bruce. I don't know. I just can. He's your dad.

So I can imagine my dad's cool. He's like me. It's cool, but there's gotta be a lot. He just works a lot. And then he's like really loud. Like I get loud in public sometimes's cool. He's like me. It's cool, but there's got to be a lot. He just works a lot and then he's like really loud. Like I get loud in public sometimes, you know? Yeah, a little bit.

I've stopped doing that as much. At the Lawrence show, you were pretty quiet. Yeah, I don't like, I don't know. There's something about like, this is going back to the narcissist thing, I guess, but it's something about not ruining someone's moment. I'm not saying that me walking into a room

is like, oh my god, everyone stop. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying when people are on stage shining, it's like a heckler. I hate fucking hecklers. Like in comedy? Yeah. Do you get heckled ever during your shows? A couple times but I swat it down. You guys are so loud.

For a comedian, it's got to be the worst. Hecklers are such assholes. There's people that think they're supposed to heckle. You know that? I just don't understand hecklers. What about people... Did you have fun sitting in with Lawrence the other night? What was going on there, buddy?

Oh, my God. The first half of it, you looked like... I was nervous. You looked like this one time, when you first got up there, this one time I was six years old, or maybe three years old and I got lost in the mall.

And I pretty sure you had the exact same attitude and I wandered off and JC Penny into the mall. Yeah. Yeah. That's I, I was nervous cause you know, like it's like hyping. I'm just hyping that that's not even a city.

I'm just like hyping. What was going on there? And then they had you kind of conduct, but the band didn't, I don't think they knew what you were going to do. So it didn't really, well, they pulled me up doing the Chacha slide in,

in, um, summer camp. Oh, okay. So I thought we're doing that. And then I kind of like curve balled and said, I'm going to conduct the band.

I, I text Clyde. Okay. Hey, I want to conduct the band, but I didn't know that those guys are just on a set program. Right. So I'm like trying to break it down, blah, blah, said, hey, I want to conduct the band. But I didn't know that those guys are just on a set program. Right. So I'm like trying to break it down, blah, blah, blah.

But they're on a set program to get to the next song. Right. So they're like, there's a kick drum. It's on a grid. Yeah, it's on a grid. And I'm like hearing it in my ears. Oh, they have tracks? I didn't know that.

They don't have tracks, but I think they have like a kick. Just that one thing. They just want to keep it tight. So they have like a metronome for a drummer and shit. Oh, okay. I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was just so crazy and then i got nervous so then i just started dancing really fast somebody gotta pull up the video i was so frightened is there a video of it there's

gotta be but i don't think it's anywhere i think i tried to get that out of the world yeah i tried to get it on youtube to feature on cnn but i couldn't i've never laughed because you know whatever i sit in it's very professional and very good you know that's more my thing though but that's how then i get in my head i'm like i gotta have a good sit-in so i called taylor scott the next night i'm like i'm sitting in and then i left because i got too drunk they i can't play i can't sit in i got too drunk i'm like i don't know if i didn't seem that drunk you're all quiet. I guess you get quiet. Yeah. I get quiet now when I'm drunk. You have a girl with you.

So you're trying to be normal. Yeah. And I'd like, but I was like, cause I was on a date. I was at six vodka. So it is deep. Hell yeah.

You wouldn't even, weren't even hanging in the green room. You were out in the crowd like a weirdo. Yeah. I like being in the crowd. You do the, sometimes the Denver hang, uh,

downstairs backstage overwhelming isming or bizarre. Everyone has their own circles. It's really weird. It's a crewy. It feels very crewy. High school. It feels like high school down there. It feels like fucking high school at the backstage.

Me and my friend, I won't name who it is. We make fun of it a lot. I'm like, I don't want to waste my night just trying to get in a circle. Yeah, and it's never any good conversations going on. It's just the most boring stuff you've ever heard in your life. Yeah, so I go in the crowd. I go dance with the crowd. I'll get in a circle. Yeah, and it's never any good conversations going on. It's just the most boring stuff you've ever heard in your life. Yeah, so I go in the crowd. I go dance with the crowd. You know, I'll get in there.

Those people are generally more fun. Yeah, they're all... Yeah, the problem is... Plus, you like when people recognize you. I like it. Yeah, you do. But I do like... I like just having...

I'll just get, like, drinks. Yeah, you like to do that. Send me shots and shit. I'll be like, fuck yeah, I'll drink with you. Plus, like, yeah, greenroom hangs can be so lame. Greenroom Hangs are a little weird.

It's like all the people that aren't on the gig that are the ones that are annoying and lame. The most weird ones are the collab shows where there's like six different musicians and they're all doing a super band thing. The thing I do a lot. There's like 10 musicians who are back that want to be on the gig.

Or like, can I sit in maybe? They're not asking, but they're around you know god it's so weird the dynamics the social dynamics down there in that basement I've seen a lot going on I would love to do like a national grief national geographic like narrate like

David Amber on the corner you know what I mean now look at the look at the up-and-coming guitarist as he hovers around Eric Krasno while he has a conversation with someone else, waiting for his moment to tell him how much he's influenced him over the years. Very careful. Oh, and he has his girlfriend with him.

You'll notice he brought his girlfriend to help break the ice because she's rather attractive. Bravo. That is exactly it, dude. That's exactly what happens. That is exactly it. And then it's like the guys who always get booked for the shows in one circle. Yeah.

Me and Gabe over here are like, go away. You're in the far back. We're like trying to learn tunes that we're playing in an hour. And people are like, how's it been? Yeah. It's like I'm literally practicing right now. And the downstairs Cervantes green room is kind of like an L shape. So you turn left a little bit.

And then there's like a group of people just hidden like a fucking dab. Yeah. And then Scott Merle's in the corner. Just like, yeah, yeah. He loves having the time of his life.

I love that guy. I love it too. It's a very interesting thing. The green room. Yeah. Hard. It's hard. Your green rooms are a little more,

it's all like one kind of person at your show. It's like Andy Frasco fans and Andy Frasco and Floyd, the weirdest person of all time. He got some songs in a TV show or something. Yeah, he's kicking ass. Who knows? Who would have thought that he could send an email? I know.

I think we're pretty close of having... I don't want to jinx it, but we'll have Floyd's songs on the new record. Might make a movie. What movie? The new Tom Cruise vehicle? I don't want to jinx it. go ahead floyd songs on the new record oh might make a movie what movie can't say the new tom cruise vehicle i don't want to jinx it they're making a new top gun though what top gun they're making a new one why because it's a great movie oh yeah speaking of 80s movies what were you saying about roadhouse earlier you were saying i've never seen it it's like one of

my you know it's like one of my favorite movies ever right i watch it once a month basically i've seen you tweet about it maybe once every other month it's such a great movie it's ridiculous it's swayze what is it so basically uh patrick swayze is like one of the best he's called a cooler okay what a cooler is is like the head bouncer okay these honky tonks he's in missouri but i'm sure they're all over the place. He gets hired by this guy outside of Kansas City, small town. He's got a bar that's going to shit. It's like a rodeo bar. They got the chicken wire in front of the band.

Patrick Swayze gets in there and cleans it up. There's issues with the rich guy in town. It actually really parallels the modern issues with the economy right now. There's one guy buying up the whole town and the small businesses are getting rooted out. It's very violent. I mean,

it's a great movie. I'll check it out. You have to watch it. It's on AMC right now. Oh really? Yeah. No, don't.

Let's watch that tonight. You should watch it. You should live tweet it. Live tweet. You ever live tweet? No. Very 2009. I tried to do as a Laker game,

but no one gives a fuck. No, maybe like 2009. They'd care about that. You know, I think live tweeting died. You got one more hot guy before we move on to Freddie Prinze?

One more hot guy. Most underrated hot guy in the jam band scene. A guy I like to call Joel Cummins. Wow, you're putting Cummins in the 90s. There's no G, it's Cummins. Cummins? Look at that body. I know he works out every day. I've done a bunch of gigs with him.

Joel is hot. Another thing. Hot dad. Hot dad. Yeah. Cool life. Just like, I mean,

you know, underrated hot guy. Look at those sunglasses. Joel's like nerd hot. Yeah, but that's still hot. True. Women love nerds.

I know. Not me. I don't like nerds. We've been over that, but, uh, he's nerd hot. You know, nerds have money. I don't like nerds. We've been over that. But he's nerd hot. He's cool.

You know, nerds have money. I don't know if Joel's rich. Check Joel's net worth. Okay. Let's see how much money Joel has. I love checking. I love checking. I'm there for it.

1.5 million. Let's go, Big Daddy. That actually... Let's go. That actually... 1.5 milli for the joel man i actually believe that one actually i do too he lives in venice he's he's got a sick life he's had a great band for a long time he's smart too yeah umfrey's been killing it for a long time kind of guy that would blow his money and he feels like a saver but also also 1.5 million it's not like that much weren't you telling me Joel does like...

He's not 22 years old. He's part of the business side, too. I think he does a lot over there. Yeah. He used to play with Cosby Sweater all the time. We would do Cosby Sweater with Joel Cummins. He plays... Oh, he wrote a book, too.

Yeah. It's like how to be successful in the music industry. I want to... Hot nerd. I want them to make a movie version of it. I love Joel. Me and Joel have beef. No, you don't. I don't think you do about what what'd you do first of all no what did you do to be in beef with joel cummins there's no way he did i've always wanted to have he came up to me

at um joel's funny actually i think that's a thing he might be joking joel is very dry he does that thing i do where he'll say something and make it seem like he's being honest. And it's like total weird thing, but it's, it's not real. We're like a little party in Mexico, in Mexico, like at, um,

in like some big hotel room. And, uh, you know, we're just shooting shit. I'm having a beer and I was already fucked up. I took acid. Okay.

I mean like three, all these layers, five hours ago. So my eyes get Daisyisy like dazed out when i'm like talking and you've seen that yeah i'm just like i have a blank stare in my eye but i'm paying attention yeah yeah kind of as much as you just pay attention to anything that isn't your phone so but when i was on mushrooms and acid and i took a little md too. So I was just kind of like, yeah, you're in Mexico. Yeah. I was in Mexico. And then I, but the, the, the frasco glare was in my eye and I'm

asking him, how's it going out there? And like, it was just like talking to him, but he, and then he's like, he was talking, he's like, do you even care? Uh, you know, he's just messing with you. I'm like, yes, I care. I'm so sorry. I'm just really fucked up. He's like, do you even care? He's just messing with you. I'm like, yes, I care. I'm so sorry. I'm just really fucked up. He's 100% just messing with you. He's a nice guy. He's got a beautiful family. He's got everything we don't have.

He is a good guy. He doesn't need a podcast to make himself. I think maybe why I'm bitter is because I want him to be my friend. He'll be your friend. I love Bayless and Stacy. He listens to the podcast sometimes. Joel, I think me and Joel have like... You and Joel have more in common than you think.

Really? Yeah. Cool. All right. Well, shall we listen to Freddie Prinze Jr. act all hot and shit? No, because we have to tell him about Repsy first. Oh, yeah. Repsy.

When I was a kid, I watched all his movies. Hottest guy in the scene, I thought. Nick is pumped. We got to talk. He's really into jujitsu. He's really into wrestling. His dad was a famous comedian who passed away when he was 10 months. So he had people like Chuck Norris raising him and shit. The story's insane. I only had a little bit of time.

The interview is shorter than, um, our normal interviews. Um, it gets cut off at the end. Um, cause you know, when you're that famous,

like Freddie Prince, you know, you got 20,000 people want an interview, but I think I got some good insight on his relationship with his, with, uh, the idea of having a father pass away and, uh,

you know, having Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is his wife forever since 2002. And all that good stuff. And talks about WWF, which I fucking love. And working with Vince McMahon. This is a great interview. I think you're going to love it. All right. Enjoy Freddie Prinze Jr.

Hello. Hello, sir. How you doing, Freddie? Wow. How are you, man? Wow, back to you. Dude, I know I don't have much time, so my first question is, what is it like to be hot your whole life? What is it like to be hot your whole life? Oh, what a kind, kind thing to say. I'm more used to hearing insults.

My generation doesn't throw compliments around as much as yours does. I know. It's more like, hey, nice face, and then they punch you. But no, man, I'm glad my wife still likes me. Yeah. And I can cook and laugh. So the older I get, I still have my wife still likes me and, uh, you know, I can cook and laugh. So the older I get, I still have those to fall back on. And, uh, yeah. So, well, you know, life's good. No complaints. No, I want to talk about, you know, like your dad was a comedian, right? Yeah. Yeah.

My dad was big time. And he passed away when you were one. 10 months old. Yeah. Just about. What did you learn from the stories of your dad that you see in yourself? Okay. So our interview is going to be about six hours long. I can't wait. Let's go. So my pops, for those who don't know, you don't have to Google him. I'm not going to. Everyone goes, Google it.

You don't have to. I'll tell you about him. He was just a baby. He was 19 years old. And Richard Pryor discovered him in a Chicago nightclub and told his manager, who became my uncle, Uncle Ron. He said, yo, man, you got to sign this kid. You got to sign. And so he's responsible for my dad, right?

My dad comes on and Richard gets him at 19 years old, I think it was, or 20 years old, on the Milton Berle show. And my dad kills it. And then my dad gets on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. And he kills it. And he was the first comic Johnny Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and he kills it. And he was the first comic Johnny ever invited to the couch after they did their set. And then that became a thing, right? My dad, to this day, Johnny loved him so much, he took a night off and let my dad host it at 21 years old. Just off that performance, two executive producers, David Wolper and Jimmy Comac, come up to my dad. They go, Freddie, we got a show for you. It's called Chico and the Man. He gets this show. It becomes the number one show in the country.

Welcome Back, Cotter was number two. My dad's show was number one. It's with Jack Albertson. Everyone knows Jack from the original Willy Wonka movie. He was Uncle Joe with the hat, right? So Uncle Jack Albertson, we love Jack. He's passed on. He's a great dude. So they make this show, and Richard hates it because Chico means boy. And it's the 70s, and he's talking to my dad. He's like, you don't let them call you boy? Like, what are you doing for your people and things like that? And my dad really started hating it. And in the 70s, he took a ton of drugs.

He was messing around. He had a beautiful love affair with Pam Greer, but screwed that up. Um, Pam's still a mentor in my life to this day because of the power that he had to charm all these people. And then on January 28th in 1977, uh, he had enough quaaludes in his system to kill a horse and he played with a gun and he shot himself in the head and he died. And I was 10 months old. Now that's a long winded version to get you to all those people that he charmed literally surrounded me, like, like circle the wagons, right? The Oregon trail. And, uh, and they never let anyone evil infect my life. I was raised by guys like Bob Wall, Chuck Norris, Gene LaBelle. What the fuck? The referee from the Karate Kid with the sweet Magnum P.I. Must, that's Pat Johnson. That was my first karate instructor.

So all these legends. My dad was friends with Ali. Ali used to always beat his ass. So my dad learned how to fight. One day at Ali's house, they were sparring in Ali's living room. And my dad catches Muhammad Ali with a left hook and the couch is behind Muhammad and he falls back on the couch and his nose gets bloody. And my dad runs to the bathroom, gets a towel, wipes the

blood off Ali's face, runs out of his house, jumps in a 75 Stingray, hauls ass home. Ali's called the house twice. My mom answers like, you tell Freddie'm gonna kill him I'm gonna kill that boy right just like trying to scare my mom yeah my dad frames the towel it's on crushed purple velvet the same way you put a war medal right and it's framed in mahogany and it says June it was right before his birthday June 22nd 1975 Ali's blood and my mom still has it to this day I'm gonna shout out to that that's fucking tight dude hold on this has it to this day. I'm going to shout out to that. That's fucking tight, dude. Hold on. This has got to be a trip.

Um, so tell me what did, so you, basically you've been in the, in the entertainment business your whole life. None of them would let me until I was 18. So what did they teach you? What'd they teach you?

So, so look, man, I was growing up in, I was going to the improv to comedy clubs when I was 12 years old. All right. I've seen everything. Bud Friedman would take me into the bathroom and get all the actors who were doing cocaine in there out so that little Freddie could go pee.

Amazing, dude. So I grew up pretty quick. But again, I had a good circle of people around me who kept me humble through martial arts, which always tells the truth. through martial arts, which always tells the truth. If you're ever looking to find out who you are, I highly suggest you find a martial art you connect with and train in it. But they all let me know who my dad was. I'll never forget my Uncle Ron, who was Richard Pryor's manager,

my dad's manager, Prince's manager. He's Fluffy's manager right now. He's the real deal. he walked me through Brentwood and he took me in front of Marilyn Monroe's house and he said he starts telling me about this business and what it can do to people and what drugs and what the and what the hangers on can do and how they tore down this beautiful woman and a lot of her story is very similar to what happened to your father and it's very similar to what happened to actor A, B, and C. I don't need to say all their names because they got families and they ain't trying to relive that BS. But he started breaking it down to me and he

said, never forget if you get in this business, it's show business, which words bigger. Now, when you're a kid, you go as this, but you don't get it. Right. But by the time you're 18 and you're ready to go and make your own bones and earn your own stripes, you have a much clearer perspective on what this business is than every other person from Minnesota that came to an acting class with me. You know what I mean? Like they believed everything that was told to them. I never believed anything. So, you know, my godfather was big on creating what he calls the Omega personality. Sigmund Freud had the Alpha, Beta and Omega. The best way to find out is through a compliment or criticism. So like Kobe Bryant is an Alpha. Kobe, you're the best. Yeah, I know. He's already decided how he feels about himself. Kobe, you suck. Yeah, whatever. He doesn't care. The beta is very susceptible to compliments and

criticisms. A lot of artists are like that. Sally Fields, Academy Award speech. You like me. You really like me. She didn't believe in herself until that moment. You suck. I suck. You're great. I'm the best. That's the beta. The omega wants to know the motivation behind the compliment or criticism. Freddie, you're the best. What does he want from me? Freddie, you suck. What happened to him that makes him want to say that? And then my godfather was big on that. And so that's who he created when he helped sort of build me, you know? And he's highly responsible for that.

Bob Wall, that one you can Google. Wow, I'll clap to him. Clap to Bob. Let's go. So, you know, it's like you talk about, you know, it's like you got in this industry so young and then you talk about getting burnt out from the industry, you know?

Can we talk about that? Is that when you started hearing your family's advice a little more, when you were starting to get burnt out from it? I think when you're in your 20s and you're getting everything you want. I mean, I was going to move. I didn't have a day off for two years. I went movie to movie to movie to movie to movie to movie. I didn't have a home. I didn't see my dogs. I didn't see my family. I didn't see my friend. I would meet new friends. But Kathleen Turner said a movie is like a wedding with a guaranteed divorce. going to see each other again. And so that she's right, you know, and it was, it started to get hard. And as I got older, a lot of the lessons I thought I knew started to make more sense and I needed a break. Um, I wasn't enjoying everyone I was working with as much as I'd hoped

to. I wasn't enjoying the work as much as I'd hoped to the press. I was starting to get angry with instead of how I used to feel which was yeah this is part of the business um and show started to become a bigger word to me than business yeah and so i knew i was out of whack and so i left i went to wrestlemania uh rick flair's retirement match i met a lady there whose name i won't say because i didn't ask for permission but she said we were talking wrestling and she was like you, you need to talk to Stephanie McMahon. And I was like, what? She goes, yeah.

She was like, you need to tell her your ideas. And I was like, okay. I mean, I'm in New York. And she was like, will you take a train to Stanford? I was like, yeah, sure. I'll go check out the tower. Is that where the studio is? Or that's where the office is?

Holy shit. In the eighties where Hogan used to work out like that. Sick as fuck, Freddie. So I was like, yeah. I was like, I'll go up there. And so I go up there and I sit with Stephanie McMahon and I'm sharing her some of my ideas. And she says, you need to meet my dad. I go, what? She goes, you need to talk to my dad. She goes, cause you don't just crap on the brand. You say what you think is wrong with it, but you have like 10

ideas on how to fix everything. She goes, you need to talk to my dad. You won't be afraid to say no. Now she's saying that to make sure I'm not afraid to say no. She's trying to prep me for success. So I go and meet with Vince and I basically get offered the job there in the room. Yeah, I read that. And so I say, I go, yeah, yeah, that sounds good. I haven't even asked my wife yet.

But I, again, growing up without a dad, Vince is like heavy psychology, man. The dude called me son. And if you call me son, that's like Superman getting hit with the kryptonite. It's just, I got nothing. I got no defense, right? So I was like, yeah, man, let me be a part of the family. So I said yes, called my wife.

She called me an idiot, gave me her support. And I was on the road with them every single week at every taping. I didn't miss one. And it was insane. And I couldn't hack it at the end of the day. I burned out on that too, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, man. I had such a great experience there. I got a couple of questions with this. First, I want to go into the psychology of it. So this father figure, did you feel like you've always missed this father figure in your life? Even with all these mentors in your life, you still feel like nothing changed. But all those men call me son.

Like I hadn't seen Chuck in 15, 20 years. And I saw him at a convention. And I was telling a story to a reporter of when Chuck broke my rib on accident when I was 15. I had just won this tournament, thought I was hot shit. And my godfather was like, Oh, I think you're pretty. I told you martial arts tells the truth. He goes, you should come spar with Chuck. And they live. I remember where his house used to be. It was on Ventura and Donna.

And you go see where Chuck used to live. And we walked down the street and went to his little like dojo in the back. And I had a really good jab. So I could own a lot of like the Taekwondo guys. Cause back then they didn't work their hands that much and I could control the distance pretty good and uh so I was working my jab and he was not trying to hurt me just threw a baby round kick but it's Chuck Norris his bones are made out of something different than the rest of us and he hit that bottom rib that like soft rib and I dropped like a stone in water and my godfather's

laughing and he just thinks I got the wind knocked out of me yeah and I'm like a stone in water and my godfather's laughing. And he just thinks I got the wind knocked out of me. And I'm like, Oh no, it hurts so bad. And then they realized something's wrong. And Chuck's like horribly apologetic. And, uh, and I'm telling this story and I hear Chuck literally go, are you saying like I killed you? And I looked and it was Chuck frigging Norris at the same event I was at. And I got to go give him a big hug. And it's just like,

all those guys were so, and Chuck had sons, but he just, all those men were so good to me. And they all had such a major influence on my life. And every time I was in tough situations, like the lessons those men taught me were what got me through. So I give a lot of credit to my mom and a lot of credit to people that were my blood as well.

But the lessons those men taught me were real life lessons. And I've literally, I've struggled so little because of what they showed me. So who was the most dad figure in your life then? Bob Wall. Yeah. Bob Wall was the number one guy. Uncle Gene was like the uncle that would give you a beer, right? When you were a kid, only instead of a beer, he would teach you like a judo choke.

So he was like, he was the cool uncle. Chuck was like the family member that was God, right? That was like the lawyer who ran the firm and all that. And you didn't see him as often. And Pat Johnson was like the blue collar, always there on the Sunday dinner kind of guy, like always there for that kind of stuff. And then Chuck's bodyguard was this dude named Winston,

who was like twice as big as Chuck, drove his BMW for him. And Winston would help teach me karate too, man. Winston was so, dude, he was huge. I'll never forget that guy. I don't know what happened to him, but man, he was awesome. Why did you decide to have your uncle manage you he you know i never had him manage me because i don't know an actor who's ever had one manager right their whole career that's what i'm thinking and i never wanted to fire my uncle and i never wanted my uncle to

have to drop me for some reason yeah so but don't think for a second that there hasn't been a contract or a business question that i haven't ran by him before i said yes or no on something like that dude is a psychic yeah he would literally tell me months with freddie this movie's not going to do well you need to make sure your money's saved you might you know take a little hit for a few months and this i'm just like man no way dude this movie's gonna hit big and then it hit like come in fourth place on the opening weekend against movies that have been out like a month already I'm like yeah okay Uncle Ron was right again I'm gonna make sure I save that money like so it was you know he's he's been involved in every business decision I pretty

much that's a beautiful all right so now okay I wanted to figure out the family thing because I grew up in LA too and you know overworking like parents were workaholics. So it feels like you raise yourself in a way, in a sense in LA, cause it's just so expensive to live there. But let's go back to Vince McMahon now. Okay. So you got Vince, this dude who's just such a character. What's the difference between working for Vince versus working for, let's say, someone at Lionsgate or someone at... Sure, this is the easiest. All right, LA has redefined the definition of passive-aggressive. That's so true.

We all know, we can all look in Merriam-Webster's dictionary, that definition no longer applies. LA has managed to bring it to this whole level where it's passive aggression on steroids without any 90 steroid trials. It just ruled. There's nothing passive aggressive about Vincent Kennedy McMahon. He is the most direct dude you will ever come in contact with. If he didn't like something I wrote, and I'm sitting there right next, I'll never forget this. I did a segment for JBL and Vince didn't like what I wrote. And, and JBL did. And Vince rewrote my promo, which is, you know, most people would say it's

never a good thing. In this case, it was not a good thing. And I brought it and he goes, you tell JBL to say what I wrote. All right. So I go to John and I go, hey, and John called me Scooby for the first four months I worked there. And I had to earn his respect just for him to say my name. Right. So I go up to John. He's like, Scooby. And I go, hey, man.

Call me Scooby. He's calling me Scooby. What the fuck? You got to earn it with these motherfuckers. I know. I get it. Excuse my language. No worries, bro. So I show him what Vince wrote, and he's going over it.

And what we went over, he connected to what we wrote together, or what I think I wrote that one. He responded to more, and he was not liking Vince's. And I go, look, man, Vince said, you got to say this. He wants you to do it this way. So he goes out there and I'm in gorilla position with Vince, which is just backstage. We see all the monitors. We have headsets on to communicate with the truck,

what's going to happen so they can communicate to the cameraman where to be to get the best shots, right? And Vince is sitting to my left and JBL starts going into it. And right away, he just cuts the old promo. And Vince is like elbowing me and what the bleep is what the fuck is this but god damn it this is shit I told you it was and he's going off and I have a I have a choice to make in this moment right and so I'm like all right I'm gonna eat it and take it because if he fires me he fires me i'll go back to and i go look i go look man i at

the end of the day i just thought my promo was better i believed in it and this is what we got to do man he had 20 minutes to prepare yours he had four hours to prepare mine let him be more prepared no it sucks let's get the fuck out of here so i stand up i shake i didn't get my feelings hurt ever there's i take my headset off. I, I go down. I'm like, all right, man, later.

And I walk off. And I guess when JBL came in, he did the same thing and, and took the bullet as well. And he goes, because Vince was pissed at him. And he goes, Vince,

Freddie told me to do yours, but I just, you know, I want to. And so he kind of saved my ass with Vince because Vince was like, Oh, Freddie took a bullet for the talent instead of like saving his own ass. Yeah. That got me in really, and then he called me Freddie after that, by the way. Let's go. Let's go. There we go. Honesty, baby. That's all you gotta do. Honesty.

So sometimes lying is good though. In that case, I lied and said, yeah, it's my fault. But, but you know, it's, it's a very political game there. And I think your job as a writer, no matter what, is to get the talent over and protect the talent. I don't think wrestling should have writers except for wrestlers that can't write. There's a lot of wrestlers that can do their own thing. You should not write for them. That's your voice. But there's a lot of wrestlers who can't. And that's when a writer, I think, is very valuable and important if they spend time together.

And I get time to hear your voice and how comfortable you are saying certain words, because those may not be words I'm as comfortable saying, but I still have to write it for you. So that's when I think a writer can be helpful. But someone like JBL, I think he could probably do it either way. It is halftime at the Andy Fresco interview hour. It is halftime at the Andy Fresco interview hour. My name is Eric Benny Bloom, and this is how to make it in the music industry in 2022. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something.

You know what I mean? All right? You don't want to just come around like you know what you're doing. You got to be humble. I'll tell you something else, all right? Come sit in my fucking gig. Don't show up late. I tell you to sound good, you sound like a fucking moop.

You're fucking out of here. Let me tell you something, you know what I mean? Don't bring no fucking friends. I don't want no guests. Please bring fucking extracurricular activities with you. Let me tell you something else. Make sure you come with some booze in the pocket, maybe a couple of scruttles, and bam, you're in.

Tell you something else, all right? If I want you to come play with me, don't be at my fucking green room. That's for me and my people. If I see you down there, I'm going to fucking smack you on the side of the head. Fucking, let me tell you something else. If I tell you to come and do your best, and you sound like a jerk, or you look like a fucking asshole, still humble, I will never let you sit in with me or my friends anywhere around the city. Let me tell you something else. Do yourself a favor. Make friends anywhere around the city. Let me tell you something else.

Do yourself a favor. Make it nice. All right? Let me tell you something. I'm going to ruin your name around the whole fucking town. Let me tell you something else. You're fucking out of here. You're fucking out of here.

Still humble. You know what I mean? This is Eric Benny Bloom, and I'm telling you everything you need to know about the freaking music industry. 2022, where you at? I ain't done. I read in an article where you're like, all right,

we need to get these two guys at WrestleMania. Yeah. And how we get there is through a year of writing. Have you ever written a sitcom? Have you written a movie? So what's the difference

between writing for a character? It's the same thing, right? No, bro. It's so hard. Really? Look, I wrote the pilot for my show that got canceled back in

the day um so i've written movies i've written tv shows um so i have a lot of experience in screenwriting i've written dungeons and dragons campaigns which is a total different beast right and i've done well with that so i got there and i was like i got this man i could write better than any motherfucker here like i was so egotistical when I got there. And then I see how that process works. And if the talent can't execute what you wrote at the level you expect it, is it their fault or is it your fault for not writing for them? And I learned real quick and got humbled, but I'm susceptible to being humbled because of martial arts.

Again, like I'm open to criticism. If it's legit criticism that I respect, I ain't going to take criticism from someone whose advice I wouldn't ask. Right. Like that's my philosophy. I will ask all these wrestlers. Do you think what I wrote for you is good? If they say no, that does not hurt my feelings. I go, then we need to fix this because the showtime's in two fucking hours. So, you know what I mean? So it's dude. This is crazy shit. Yeah. They don't get a lot of time to learn. Now, I would cheat sometimes and I would write stuff and I would send it, you know, two weeks in advance and be like, hey, in two weeks, we're going to get to this promo. I want you to have it in your head. You know,

some things might change, but I just want you to have as much heads up as possible. And sometimes they wouldn't change at all. Most of the time they would. But I would give the talent as much heads up as humanly possible, because I think, you know, as anyone would, the more prepped you are, the better you'll do. Who was the hardest person to write for? The hardest person to write for

was the best person to write, was Jeff, Jeff Hardy. And on the road to make him champion, he was the absolute hardest person to write for because Jeff and I were not friends. We didn't talk. We didn't have any connection. We had never had a conversation and I was assigned to write for him. I can't book for shit. So Freebird was booking stuff for Jeff and he's like, we're going to make him champion. I had a lot of momentum behind me for some Undertaker stuff that I had written to Vince. Like he goes in, you're going to ride it and you're going to make

it work. And I was like, all right. So the first one I wrote for him didn't click with him at all. Right. And I was like, all right, then we need to make some changes. And I'd never worked with him ever. And we got like 30 minutes, man. And so he's like throwing in words, like imagination, which was some artwork that he did. Oh, everything had an eye in it, right? E Y E. And so he starts doing little things like that. And I pick up on that. It's something that I, okay. I go, okay. He likes that. He likes that. And he likes talking about the gray area in life. He doesn't see the world in black and white. Okay. Okay. I'll take that. And we're just rewriting on the fly, but it was hard as hell. Just finding

Jeff in the arena, by way it takes two takes two hours i literally i went to his brother of course his brother will know oh yeah yeah he's he's probably in a locker room i knock on the locker room i try to show respect i don't want to i'm a writer i'm not a wrestler i want to walk in there so i not go hey uh is is jeff in there hold on i'll look 10 minutes later wrestler comes out no jeff's not in here he's in there i'm like where could he be i so i have one of the female i think melina was like oh i think i saw he was going up on the roof i go to roof of the arena she's like yeah i go how do you how how do i get up there she goes i don't know i'm like what's going on this is i thought they're just joking and like

ribbing me and then finally you find him and now i I'm like, all right, Hey man. So at, at three 30, it's three o'clock now we're shooting this and it's two pages long. Here we go. So it was, it was hard. But then once we got his language and not my language, right. All of a sudden I was writing those promos. I'm not even joking in five minutes and it would be word for word. Nobody would change anything. And it was just super. And I would act like it took all week, right? Like in the production meetings and stuff.

Cause if you turn it into early, it's going to get rewritten. Yeah. And so I would just wait till the day and then, but I was literally like just in my apartment thinking about my dad and thinking about Jeff and trying to make, if I wanted to make a drug addict and somebody who was suffering with addiction, sympathetic, like my dad, I want my dad to be

a sympathetic character. I want people calling him a junkie and shit like that. I want people respecting his art. So I wanted people to respect Jeff's art and not talk shit about the drugs, but I didn't want to just gloss over that and act like it wasn't real. So that's what I did with every promo was how do I make somebody who's battling addiction sympathetic? How would I make my dad sympathetic? And that's how I wrote everything for Joe.

Have you ever battled through addiction? No, like I said, man, I was blessed and martial arts was my drug, man. I didn't even drink alcohol until I think my senior year in high school. I was like 17. And it kind of like closed my world up a lot. And I didn't like the way I saw the world.

So I didn't really mess with that too much after that. And, you know, martial arts is my drug of choice. I really like, I love jujitsu so much, man. I'm blessed to get to roll with John Jocks Machado, who's one of the best that's ever done. I met this fool when I was 14. I thought I was a hot shit wrestler. My godfather, again, humbling me.

Chuck and him had just bought the Machados this awesome school, their first school. And it was on the second floor of the Wall Street Plaza building on Ventura Boulevard that my godfather wrote. And he goes, well, I'm gonna introduce you to this guy, His name is John Jocks Machado. Chuck brought him up from Brazil and they're grapplers like you, man. You're really going to like him. I go, okay. And John Jocks is probably about seven or eight years older than me. So he was in his twenties. I didn't know he

had just won the Abu Dhabi world championships and not only his weight class, but the open weight class as well. And then I take a look at the dude's hand and he's got no fingers on one of his hands. They never grew in. So I'm looking at my guy. I call him uncle Bob. I'm looking at my guy. I go, I'm going to smoke this guy. Even though he's bigger than me, I beat guys that were older than me and bigger than me. Like Bob Walt taught me how to train. Like I knew, I knew what I was doing. And he goes oh yeah you're gonna you're gonna smoke this guy all right get on there i'm not joking man in less than 10 seconds he has me in a fireman's carry which isn't even jujitsu that's my shit has me in a fireman's carry stands up spins me around like a pro wrestler and goes which window which window

like he's gonna throw me out a window yeah and he sets me down and i'm like chris tucker in that jackie chan movie where he's like yeah where he's like which one of y'all just kicked me like i didn't i had never seen jujitsu before i didn't know what it was this was 1990 maybe yeah and so i literally was like wow how'd you do that and he's like we threw leverage i go what's leverage he goes and leverage and i was like okay and so i just I just got addicted to this man's philosophy on life and the way he looks at things. And I've been rolling with him ever since. When I was working a ton, I couldn't train.

And that's when I would get stressed out. So now I know that's something that I need. So I just keep it in my life. It's fucking great. I mean, you seem so passionate about jujitsu and wrestling. Why did you start acting? Okay. So when I was a sophomore in high school, my grandfather did not like my dad.

He never trusted him. And rightfully so. He was like, the guy's on drugs. He's not going to be faithful. He's not going to be a good father. And he was right about all three of those things. So he got cancer and it was getting near the end. So they put him on hospice, which for those who don't know, that's like when you come home and you're going to spend the last few moments, days, weeks, whatever it is, in like a hospital bed at home with a nurse.

And you're dying to comfort of your own home. And so he's home. And, uh, my grandmother says, her name was Kitty. And she says, uh, your papa wants to talk to you. And I said, okay. And I was a good boy, man. I didn't get in a lot of trouble. I always did what my family told me to do. And I go into his room. It was right across the hall from my room. And he had my old room. I took the smaller room. And he takes me by the hand and he had this, he was in the Navy and he had this anchor tattoo. He was on the USS Nevada

by the way. It was the only fucking ship to get away from Pearl Harbor. He was an engineer. He said, he goes, I never saw the war, but I heard every bomb drop because he just kept the motor running. Bro, we out. We are out of here. So that's what is it.

I don't know the superior officer's name, but the guy came in to just keep the engines running. And so they did. But anyway, so he had this anchor on his left arm and he was the strongest son of a bitch I've ever known, man. And he grabbed my hand like that, you know, like an arm wrestling grip. And he says, did you clean your room today? And I said, yeah. And he goes, I'm so proud of you. And I was a kid and I didn't understand.

I was like, okay, I didn't know you're saying I'm proud of who you are and the man you're going to be. I was talking about my room, right? And in the same breath, in the same breath in the same breath he goes holding my hand tight you know your father really fucked things up and it's up to you to fix it three hours later he was dead three hours later he's dead so that huge backpack is put on my shoulders and when i was 18 it was moved to new york or la new mexico was closer to la so i moved back to los angeles and i started acting to chase ghosts.

Did that fuck you up, though? It feels like that's a heavy... Oh, yeah. Big time. That's heavy. Big time, man. Big time. Look, it's hard enough chasing ghosts, right? Right. When it's not your dream. It didn't become my dream until about six years into the damn thing. Right. So, it's hard

enough doing that, but when you're a junior, you're basically a statue built to honor that which walked before you, right? Right. And so you're expected to now. And so my only rule was I'll never do stand-up because I'll never stand on the same wood that my father stood on.

I don't want to ever be on those stages. I just always want to be in the crowd. So I've always had a passion for stand-up comedy as a viewer. I've never had any desire to do what he did on stage. But I still go to comedy clubs to this day. Not during the pandemic. They're all fucking closed.

But finally can go back. Like I said, I've been going since I was 12 years old, man. My dad opened the LA Improv. Is it hard to go? No, that's my life, man. I used to get spiral notebooks. I'll show you. I still have some today. I used to go in there at 12, 13, 14, 15 years old. And I would write down the comedian's jokes as fast as I could at 12 years old, even if they had curse words in them. And I would write in little X's how loud the audience laughed at the jokes.

And I did, I think it was Chris Titus's podcast like 10 years ago. And I said, oh my God, I wrote all your jokes down from a set you did in 1990. I was 14. He goes, no way, there's no way. And I literally went home, found the spiral and I gave it to him.

And he's like, you ranked the audience's laughter? I was like, yeah, man, I was 14. I'm whatever. Oh, my God. But I mean, I still have these journals somewhere. These are D&D journals, but I have them somewhere. But yeah, man, I grew up in those clubs. I love it.

All those comics told me stories about my dad, good ones and horrible ones. Right. And they gave me an honest perception of who my father was instead of the perfect one that my family tried to shape just to protect him and me and everybody. And as, and as, as you get older,

you want honesty over some fairy tale of who your dad is. Yeah. I mean, I was getting it at 12, which wasn't always great. Like Bobby Slayton, who was like a legend, old school,

New York comic. He talks like this saying he's been in a bunch of movies. It's like a character guy. And literally I was a sixth grader. And I think it was Paul Rodriguez was like, oh, this is Freddie Grenz's kid. And he goes, oh, that motherfucker never let me fuck a girl once in a club.

He always took her from me. I'm 12. And like, that's what you're saying. I'm their son, dog. I'm just like, what is going on? That's got to kind of fuck you up a little bit though. Right, Freddie? Sure.

But only in the sense that it makes you grow up more quickly than anyone should have to. However, all those things prepared me for the profession I chose. I chose. Right. And the man I became and the conversation we're having right now. You know what I mean? Someone out there will listen to this and be like, son of a bitch, and click to something that they just heard. And then maybe it helps them get back onto the path they need to be on.

So it all happens. I'm not trying to be hokey, but all this shit is preparation for moments, for just moments in life. All the hard shit is just preparation for moments. And one day, some poor bastard you know is going to be going through damn near the exact same shit and you can help them suffer for a shorter amount of time than you did, which is a big win in life. So that's kind of how

I look at all this stuff. I know it's like an Eastern philosophy. No, fuck that. What the hell, man? Bob Wall hung out with Bruce Lee. I drank the Kool-Aid too, man. Let's fucking Freddie Prinze Jr. go. The fucking go, dude. Like, I drank the Kool-Aid too, man. Let's fucking, Freddie Prinze Jr., goat. The fucking goat, dude. Okay, I got two questions. I only have a couple minutes left.

So, all right, first thing, I need to talk about, you know, you're a loyal man. Do you think you've been with the same girl your whole life, basically, right? I mean, I had a couple before her. I wasn't a total virgin, bro. But, yeah. But, you know, Sarah Michelle Gellar, you know, that's your squeeze. 20 plus years.

Yeah, man. 20 plus years. You know, I've never had a relationship before. What's... Ever? Ever. Never? I'm in a band.

Give me your take on how to keep a relationship. There's a lot of married men that are very jealous of your life right now. Well, we won't brag about it. We won't brag. So we'll see who's winning at the end of this interview. It's going to be 50-50, I think. Look, we won't brag about it. We won't brag. We'll see who's winning at the end of this interview. It's going to be 50-50, I think. Look, man, the trick for Sarah and I, we were friends for two years before there was a smooch on the table. I had a girl,

and she was focused on self. She was focused on her career. She, I didn't cheat on my girl with her back then. So she already knew what kind of man I was. I already knew what kind of woman she was. She knew I was a dork that wasn't going to grow up. She knew I played D and D and video games. I still play call of duty. I went 22 and four this morning. Let's go hardcore team death match only.

Um, but she knew that going in and she never judged me. She's not one of those partners. That's like, why do you have to play video games all the time? Like, why would you want to be with someone who makes you feel shitty about things you love just because they can't be responsible for your joy? Like how selfish is that? And I have friends in those relationships. I'm like, yo, he or she is just pissed that they're not responsible for the three hours of joy you just received from something so simple. Like Call of Duty. Yeah. And for my wife, it's reality shows, man.

Like that's what she likes. And that's an hour where she doesn't have to think and she can watch someone else suffer for 60 minutes. And that's a great thing. All human beings need that. And I never go downstairs and I'm like, oh, you're reality bullshit. Like what kind of a-hole does that? Why'd you marry this person if you don't like what they do so I got lucky in the sense that we knew each other's weirdness we knew each other's not even guilty pleasures just pleasures and uh and we were friends first and so there was no honeymoon period there was no I have to be my

best Freddy so she'll like me and then later down the road, I can be like, you want to play Dungeons and Dragons? So, so it, uh, it just worked out. It just worked out that way. And we're always straight up with each other. We've had our fights and arguments to make sure that we are like, Hey, you could have told me that. Like we have, I don't want people to think we're perfect. We've had those conversations where she's like, you asshole, you should have told me that. And I'm like, son of a bitch. to think we're perfect. We've had those conversations where she's like, you asshole, you should have told me that.

I'm like, son of a bitch. Yeah, you're right. I was trying to protect you. And that was dumb. And I'm sorry. And I'll be more blunt next time. And vice versa. Like that's happened. So, you know, I don't want people thinking that it's it's an Instagram relationship where it's all holding hands and stuff like that.

I'm sure she wants to kill me today. wants to kill me today. So, so, but yeah, man, we, I definitely have never worried about her wanting to trade me in for a newer, younger, better, hotter Freddie Prince jr. Yeah. She doesn't want the 2.0. She's happy with DOS. She still likes DOS. Let's fucking go. I'll take that too. Freddie, you are fucking genuine as fuck, my guy. I love it. And I can cook and she can't. So I'm necessary. Well, let's fucking get it. And you have a podcast, WW Freddy, Wrestling with Freddy. I'm stoked that you're doing this.

In a sense, you talk about not being a comedian, but having a podcast is kind of like being a comedian. My uncle Ron, who we've spoken about, told me something about actors a long time ago that always stuck with me. He said, Freddy, storytellers cut

no wood. You'll never have a blister in your life. And that's what acting is. And if you look back in society, like the storytellers were a necessary part of old societies before movies, before TV, before any of that, it was hieroglyphs on walls and the village storyteller. And they would tell, they would spin these yarns that would be an adventure of the person who settled this and how they got there and all the trials and tribulations they went through for all of us to have this. They didn't have to chop wood. They didn't have to stack rocks. They didn't have to do any of that stuff. It's a, it's a good life. I'll be real with people. It is a good life. The only blisters I get are from jujitsu on geese.

Like I've never gotten one from acting in my life. So I love it. And storytelling, acting, podcasting, it's all the same and working at that company, you get a thousand stories to tell on the first day that you work there. Like it was, it was crazy. The episode I have coming out this week, I was legit running an acting class for professional wrestlers. OK, they had. No, I'm telling you, dude, listen, Vince said, Freddie, I want to show you a promo class. And I go, what's that? He goes, I'm going to teach him how to act. I go, you're going to teach him how to act.

He goes, yeah, come watch. So I go in there and there's 40 wrestlers all sitting there. And he grabs this Irish wrestler who's still in the company named seamus who i love he goes seamus and this other wrestler wade barrett he goes wait get up here and they both have to stand in front of all their peers right okay all the old school agents the producers that help choreograph the matches like the oran andersons all the old school guys they're all there vince is there the director of the show is there. He goes, all right, boys, you're a dog. You're a dog. Now make me want to watch you fight. And bro, and the whole room goes silent. No one can talk because what the hell is that? What does that even mean? Right.

And just to start this, backing up a second, he goes, I'm sitting next to a wrestler and Vince goes, now we're going to do this acting exercise. You got to give me a little razzle dazzle. It's the term he uses. The wrestler to my left nudges me and goes, what is razzle dazzle? So right away we're screwed. So now they have to be dogs. It's totally quiet. After about 90 seconds, Seamus legit says out loud on accident,

I think I'm having an out-of-body experience. He doesn't know he said it. And the whole room is like, oh, my God. And then it's quiet for another 30 seconds. And Vince goes, come on, damn it, you're dogs. And Wade, unfortunately, goes first. And he growls. He goes, grrr.

Vince jumps up. He goes, not an actual fucking dog. Damn it. No. And I'm literally like dying. And at the end, Vince goes, well, what did you think? And I was like, Vince, this ain't, this ain't working, man. I'll go, let me, let me take over the class. And I legit started doing the stuff that my acting class would do, like repetition exercises, improv exercises with like giant, you know, 300 pound dudes. And in the episode this week, John Cena interrupts the class one time. Cause

he, he didn't want me there. He didn't like, it took me like six months to earn a dude's respect, which I, which I respect. I'm cool with that. I don't mind hard work. And, uh, and he comes into class and he just sits in the middle of it while people are doing a scene in between them. Oh, my God. And so I have to like a school teacher say, John, can you come outside and speak to me, please? And we go outside and I'm like, dude, what the fuck are you doing? And he goes, well, I think this is bullshit. And so he's going to challenge my whole purpose for being there.

Right now, he can't fire me. Only Vince can fire me. And Vince ain't going to fire me. Vince liked me. So, yeah. fire me. Only Vince can fire me and Vince ain't going to fire me. Vince liked me. So yeah. So I was running the acting class and Cena comes in and he sits right in between the two wrestlers that are doing their scene.

And to me it's completely unprofessional. I get why he's doing it. He's, he's basically just checking me. Right. Right. And so I get up and I say, Hey man, we need to, we need to step outside and the whole room's quiet we go outside i'm not going out there to fight him but we need to we need to have a conversation he's built like a brick truck i don't jujitsu only does so much you know what i'm saying like right exactly you can pick me up and literally put me in orbit so i'm not trying to i'm not trying to fight the dude so i go hey man you

can't just be walking in here and doing that and And he's like, well, I think this is bullshit. I don't even know why you're here. And I look at him, and it's a moment. You know, these are all, every time, conflict is good. And in the modern era, we don't have to have it because we can mute and block people. And social media is so negative that people just remove all, they think all conflict's bad and you're a bully. But conflict is how we solve just about every problem in the history of this planet. So I've never been one to shy away from that.

And I think it's good. So, pardon me. So I say, I look at him and again, it's a moment. I say, hey man, I could be a jerk in this situation, but I don't want to be. So I say, hey man, look, no one in that room can do what you do, but you either can't or you won't take the time to help them develop. And that's why I'm here. So you're going to let me do my job and I don't want you interrupting this again. And he's not cool about it, but he's somewhat cool. And he says, well, maybe I'm just a

Neanderthal about this. These are his words. Maybe I'm just a Neanderthal about this, but you can either do it or you can't. i say i'm not arguing that brother but i'm here to get them as close to what you can do right as they possibly can and he kind of just whatever and walked away and he did not like me at all i think he called me i think he called me like ashton kusher or something like that right like something i has a long time ago i don't remember jbl called me scooby oh my god come here little guy come here is your animal i just want to go we got three dogs two gigantic ones and one little guy oh cute he's gigantic um so uh so i i uh i talked to vince and he goes I heard you had a little conversation with John. And he's already like laughing, right?

He loves conflict. I know. He lives off that shit. Yeah. So I go, yeah, we worked it out. And he goes, you think so? And I'm like, did we not? Like, what's going on?

He goes, no, all right. All right. So for the next, I'd say three and a half, four months, John is not what I would call professional, right? Yeah. And then I did a segment with some of the younger talent, one of the talent that was in the room when he interrupted, and it was an in-ring promo, and I love in-ring promo. I really didn't, I got more credit for my behind the scenes,

like the backstage stuff, but I don't like backstage segments. I think everything should be in the ring. Right. So this guy's in the ring, I'm in gorilla. John's next out. So he's in gorilla. And, uh, he looks at me and he goes, Hey man, that was a good segment. And this is a moment, right? This is another moment. Put his shoulders.

And so I have to decide, am I going to be professional and be like, Hey man, thank you. I appreciate that. or am i going to be a dick and i was a dick i remember that time cena i looked at him and i just go yeah whatever and i went right back to the monitor and no sold it and i i don't regret it because it makes me laugh you know and i know he didn't care like he's john friggin cena but i i always remember looking at that and going like freddie now would Freddie then, like, hey, man, team professional. He finally came around and then you deaded it by being the guy he wanted you to be the first time he met you.

And then the younger me would be like, you know what, old Freddie, fuck you too. So I don't know how it would go. But it was always a moment at that company that I liked because I learned a lot from it. I learned what kind of personalities they respond to. And we talked about alpha, beta, and omega personalities. An omega personality can thrive in that company because you're constantly trying to figure out what everyone's motivation is in dealing with you. Betas die there. They die.

They can't get their stories over as a writer, as a wrestler, as anything, because it's not meant for that personality type. You can't seek others' approval before you decide how you feel and be a professional wrestler. I don't think you can do it as an actor or a stand-up comic or as an artist in general. Most artists are beta personalities. So I don't know how they survive. Maybe it's why we all get screwed up on alcohol and and in the 70s quaaludes and whatever the 2021 quaalude is whatever whatever makes people stop feeling and or artists stop feeling and thinking you know it it's such a it's such a double-edged sword but the alpha personalities in that company are absolute monsters in the best possible form of the word

as in like the universal studios old school frankenstein creature from the black lagoon dracula like they are monsters and good and bad you just deal with it because they're attractions people want to see them that's why i was so surprised when they fired gray wyatt i'm like yo that dude's the last attraction in all of wrestling and he's a free agent. That's insane to me, but whatever. And that's the thing. It's like the best producers, the Vince McMahons of the

world understand how to get the best out of their talent and understand their personality. I think they do. That's the hope. Now look, he's fumbled the ball, alright? They fumbled the ball. There right. They fumbled the ball. There's a wrestler that just left the company. They called Carrie and cross. And he was on their show NXT. And he looked like an ex NFL linebacker, shaved head, no shirt monster, had an evil chick

with him. It was like Randy Savage and evil Elizabeth, evil Randy and evil was basically. And they brought him up to the main show, the Monday night show. And they put them in like red suspenders and like a porno gladiator mask. And two months later they fired him. It's like, yeah, no shit. You had a killer and you turned him into a clown. Yeah.

Like, what do you think is going to happen? But I don't get mad at wrestling. It just inspires me to work hard so I can start my own wrestling brand and hire all the people they fire. Exactly. And that's why you got a podcast. WW Freddy is part of the iHeartMedia's

My Cultura Network. Freddy, you're the man. Thanks, bro. Stay hot. Stay fucking inspired. Have an amazing life. And I got one last question. I'll let you go.

What do you want to be remembered by, Freddy Prince Jr.? Nothing. People can forget if they want to. I've never worried about that. I've never, what people think is out of my control, man. My godfather taught me a long time ago, you're in control of two things, your actions and your reactions to other people's actions. And that's it. So however people want to remember me, if it's good, bad, or indifferent,

or if they just want to move on until the next guy that looks like me comes along, that's okay, man. But I've never been like, yeah, I hope they remember me for being a good guy or being able to cook or being in Scooby. That's never been – all human beings are much more than what we remember them for. I remember my dad for certain things. Other people remember him for other things, but he was much more than both sides. Like I'm not right. And neither are they.

Cause he was much more than that. And we all are, you are me, everybody. So, you know, however people want to remember, that's cool.

And if you don't want to remember, that's, that's cool. You know, do your thing, go get a sandwich. If you want to remember me, name a sandwich, the Freddie. freddie i'm doing it call that's how i want to be remembered

dork okay you suck well there's a meme there's a meme like when the cowboys lost yeah there's like don't worry we still got the yankees and the lakers exactly 49ers are kind of like that but why are you a utah fan just you know so i just didn't like watching sports growing up and I kind of grew this hatred towards the Lakers. So when I finally got to college and started watching sports, I was like, I'm not going to pick a team just because I'm from that city. Why did you pick a team that never wins anything?

Well, you know, the underdog man, I'm an underdog myself. And, uh, they, they just stuck out to me.

So for some reason, their system, their style, it just, I like all the Cleveland teams. Yeah. And you're from there. No, I'm from Indiana, but it's like an Ohio family neighbors, the family disease. Have you seen, don't have used to wear these like suit sucker suits, the all yellow, the dog show, pull up that picture. Give Nick that picture. The prom pick of me. What's your favorite like football team? Oh,. My prom pic. The prom pic of me and Joel Love. What's your favorite

football team? Oh, not the prom one. Steelers. Steelers because again it was baseball. I guess the Dodgers, but I'm not really a baseball guy. Hockey? Kind of the Penguins because of the Pittsburgh connection.

Are you a Kansas State fan because you went there? Yeah, so Kansas State was my college. state was my Kansas state and Chico state. Yeah. Both wildcats. Shout out wildcats. He used to come to my shows in Manhattan, Kansas. I got arrested one night.

You know who else went to Kansas state? Um, Matt from the floozies. Oh really? Yeah. I saw them. I saw them in this photo. This isn't the one of both of us.

This is another one. Look at this fucking photo, dude. This is insane. God damn it. I haven't used it from my computer yet. Oh my God. So that's from prom.

Holy shit. That was my hot ass prom date. She was a babe, dude. What's she doing now? She's married and into QAnon. So I'm glad I dodged that bullet. You look like you got your suit from the Dumb and Dumber set or something.

Dude, I went with my mom to downtown LA and we searched every fucking place in the fashion district to find the right yellow. I couldn't find it in the last place we looked. It was just, you know, I needed the right yellow. 17 year old kid. I need the right yellow for my prom't find it in the last place. It was just, you know, 17 year old kid. I need the right yellow for my prom. Come on mom. For my massive, giant, gigantic prom tux. It's like a Magnum condom. I still rock that suit sometimes. So while you're looking at that,

give me why what's, what's your sports weekly. We haven't even talked about it. We've just been talking about our childhood. It's fun to talk about. It's interesting. It's okay. Bill's one big football's back. Yeah. My Steelers are back. Playoffs. Bill's killed it.

Shout out. What's the difference between Steelers? Yeah. Shout out to Bo. They're going places. The Williams. The Buffalo Williams. Bo is a big Buffalo fan.

Bo and Joe. They looked incredible. They didn't even punt once. Did you know that? They're still scoring right now. They have like the perfect game, right? Joe. They looked incredible. They didn't even punt once. Did you know that they're still scoring like the perfect game, right? Yeah. Something like that. Josh Allen is cause everybody was doubting him too. They're saying he can't win in the cold and then he killed him in the cold. It was like zero degrees. Let's go. Okay. Josh, it was zero degrees by the way. Oh God. And Bill's Bill's fans insane. When it's zero degrees, they stay

home. They don't go like just kidding. They go even more insane. Joe, Joe Angel, our producer was at the bills games. He sent us actually some videos. You got to see these videos. What do you, what does a couple,

he's asking about Mac Jones. Here's two of those. Mac Jones. He's a quarterback for the new England Patriots who they destroy by like 30. And he's just a kid. These guys, guys, I got a podcast.

You got any opinions about Mac Jones? Mac Jones is a fucking pussy! Fuck Mac Jones. What do you think about Mac Jones? Fuck Mac Jones. I like that guy. The last guy's my favorite. Isn't Mac Jones 19? These guys are like 30 old men. He's not 19. He's like 24 or 23. In college, you go later.

You have to play. Oh, you have to play a couple years in college? Yeah, you can't just be like a 19 year old. Buffalo Bills fans are so crazy. It's zero degrees and they're just drinking outside. Look at this one. Dude, it's awesome. What is this one? I want them to win the Super Bowl.

What do you think about Joe? Fuck off! Fuck yeah. It's like heavy metal. It's just heavy metal at the fucking... It's like a blasted heavy metal at zero degrees right before their tailgate in the game. It was like a cornfield party in high school or something,

but it's just even more rowdy. Don't they do like the... Here's the best thing of the weekend, though, besides the resounding wind. It was the best table jump you'll ever... So they're famous for their table jumps. Yeah. Actually, that's where you broke your thumb, right?

I broke my thumb doing a... Andy broke his thumb in Buffalo doing a table jump with him in set, which is hilarious in itself, but check out the form on this. This is the most beautiful table jump I've ever seen. Oh my god! Holy shit! Yes! Wow!

That gives me... Pop right back up. I'm clapping to that. That gives me the same up. Thank you. I'm clapping to that. That gives me the same reaction as the first time I looked at the Mona Lisa or fucking bills fans. Alcohol is a hell of a drug, dude. It feels like a work of art, but look at him.

He's like perfectly played again, played again. Oh, I want to just find one. It's just like Mickey. Oh my God. Look how like there's just, he's almost perfectly flat.

And then he hits it right in the middle of the table. He's just a perfect. Oh my God. Look how like, there's just, he's almost perfectly flat. And then he hits it right in the middle of the table. He's just a perfect. Oh my God. You got to take some tips from this. He should get an extra stimulus. Oh, and he's looking, jumps back up.

Like not even hurt. Oh, how drunk do you think he was? Oh, wasted Buffalo drinks. Dude, this is so awesome. Look at that.

Oh my God. What the fuck? This is so fun. Woo at that. Oh my God. What the fuck, dude? This is so fun. Woo! For audio fans, this is like, I don't get it. Go watch the YouTube then. We're going to have a great day. We're going to have a great week.

Right, guys? We're all moving to Buffalo this summer. We're all moving to Buffalo. Actually, I had a horoscope or like a star sign. They said I either got to go to Australia, like Perth, Hawaii, or fucking Buffalo. That is so beautiful. I would pick Buffalo. I would too. Just move there, it said, or what?

It said that's where my energy is mostly involved. They're all like near water. It's cold as fuck, though. I don't know if I can handle it. No, no. I just want to go to Buffalo for one summer and just be a Buffalo person for three months. Eat wings, hang out. Mikey Karuba is there. Yeah. The gang. Yeah. Mike Gansert. Maybe I can get like a weekly at the iron works or something, you know, every Tuesday with just talk. Me and Mikey could play

some gigs. Um, so cause Dolan's never here. We should actually have him do the inspirational speech. You ready? Motivate him. Let's fucking do it. Alright guys. This is your time. This is your week. This is our fucking year. Fuck COVID. Fuck the Lakers. But have a great

week. Show them what's up. Kick some ass. Take names. Don't let anyone stop you. You fucking got this. These boys got your back. We all got your back. If you need some, hit us up. Yeah. Why you ask who fucking won that game last night?

Yeah. I don't want to watch that game. We were too tired. We were too tired. Jazz all day. We're doing it. It's sports with Doloff. I don't like either of your teams.

Goodbye, everyone. Cleveland's all right. Next week, we have somebody. I forgot. What show is it? It's going to be great. Hell yeah. Goodbye.
