getting the dump. Yeah. Yeah. No, we love it. What's that feeling like, man? You know, obviously we're going to talk about your journey in the minute, but, man, on the big stage yesterday, Allegiance Stadium, especially the way you want to match to be here.

Listen, that's your fan over there. He said, my boy, it's still aerobatic out here. As soon as I walked out, I said, my boy off the ropes with it. Come on with it. Nah, man, yesterday was good. I just want to say thank you for everybody attending. Thank y'all, man. Yeah.

You know, like, if you guys know me and you guys follow me, y'all know my journey. We don't got to speak about it. But I've been at WWE for two years. Yeah. Man, it didn't really hit me until I was walking out the ring and I seen my wife, my family. And, man, you know, I broke down in tears, you know, a little bit.

I'm going to keep it 100. Yeah, for sure. Thank you. It was just everything. Everything to tap in, right? But at the end of the day, Jacob Fattu is here and I'm all gas. No brakes. Let's show.

That's interesting to say that, you're a little bit nervous coming out. But every time your theme music go up, the crowd lose their mind. What's that feeling like, man, that's all that. Everybody's here to see you put on the show. Man, you know what it is. So, Fatu, that is me. That is a real last name. Yeah, I mean.

So for us to take that Fatu name, you know, and then, man, just to hear the crowd, man, come on, the stadium. just channing our last name. And if you guys don't know, Fatu and Samoan means heart. And if we're talking about the heart, we're going to speak about Natty and T.J. Because they're the ones that got me ready over there

for WrestleMania at the Dungeons. So shout out to Natty and TJ at the dungeon. And shout out to everybody at the dungeon. My boy, Doxby over there from Street Profits. We all be tapping in. So thank you to Natty and TJ, man. Absolutely. You sold the show last night.

You stole the show. You put on a show last night. That backflip on. Yeah, in fact, we whipped his ass. That backflip off the ropes, man. The athleticism you has at your size is crazy. Like, you probably could have been an NFL linebacker, man. I mean, hey, I mean, it's still time.

Yeah, me. Yeah, hey, there you go. It was a thought that kind of went to my head for a little bit. I think he's starting to pick me up now, huh? No, but, man, well, first off, I've never been beat up with a cell phone until yesterday. All right? I don't know who the hell and who the hell gave Drew that phone, but my kids sent me the video and my son was like, dad. Man, you got your ass beat with a cell phone, dude.

But overall, yesterday with the fans and everything, and I think we was in a good spot. But not only that, man, bro, for me to be on ESPN to wrestle, I mean, come on, man. That's legendary. Man. That's legendary. Thank you all, man. I mean, but for me to go, but not only that, I did it with my brother to Uso's.

Yeah, I mean, the speed. So they went first, Mr. Un, you know, and then for them to be the first match and for me to be the second, you know, man, it's just everything yesterday, to having my wife here, to ESPN, you know what I mean, to the family. I mean, hey, bro, this is my third time on the show. I think I'm doing pretty good over here. You're all right? You're an honorary member, bro.

No, face. What are we driving now, man? What's the whips looking like now? We didn't got a new whip. Oh, no, man. I mean, hey, man, I ain't buying none of this on me. All right, this is the solo. Somebody's gay this to me.

This is actually my brothers, huh? Yeah, hey, we ain't going to sugarcoat nothing. All right? We're going to keep them for a hundred. When they say fake it till you make it, yeah, baby, you got to fake it till you make it, all right? No, but you know what it is? Man, it's just, you know, I got seven kids.

So, man, that first purchase, man, getting my wife a car, a good car, which is she deserves because, man, bro, I want to be here for one for her in Jesus Christ. So. Yeah, it makes a noise for wife. You, man. Now, it's to be here what I'm saying? It's like, man, it's great to see your growth and development because every time we see

you doing new stuff, looking like more and more money, man, we love to see it. Every time we leak up, it's a celebration. Come on. Come on. Your energy just keep us going, bro. So thank you for that for sure. So, hey, and then, you know, sometimes when I'm having to, you know, just having one of my days.

I'm scrolling through the phone and stuff. I see, you'd be having me rolling. I mean, you know, we're going to speak about it in the back. Yeah, you're talking. Hey, but I can't, you know. But, man, it's just a pleasure, man,

just to tap in. Man, they gave me a call. They gave me a call last night. Because, you know, the podcast was, it was on my, it was on my schedule. I didn't see it. And I was like, hey, man, is everything okay? I mean?

But they gave me a call last night. They told wanting me to be here, and, man, without a doubt. I said, for who? They say, five, two. I said, man, hell yeah, put me on. What time? So, man, we're here at 520 podcast, live and direct with you. Yon, I mean.

For sure. We appreciate that. For sure. Hey, man, show some love to Vegas, man. This is the second time for WrestleMania. But, yeah, make some noise for yourself. Yeah. A phenomenal crowd here.

What's the energy like? When you step off the plane, because it's just like, Vegas is a big city, but everybody in town was tapped in with WWE, man. The vibes was hot off the gate. Yeah, it was. It's different. I mean, you know, my wife's first time around here. So, you know, we go to the airports.

I mean, for real, for real, when I did off get off the airport, first person that I seen was none other than the tribal chief, Roman Reigns, standing right there all over the airport. Now, tonight is his night. Yeah. Tonight. I mean, man, we're talking about 11 main event at WrestleMania's. You know what I mean?

So to really see that, man, it's an eye-opener. Roman Reigns has done so much for his family. You know, behind the scenes, then, on TV. But, yeah, man, the whole vibe, though, says, going checking in to the hotel, man, I still trip out. I still trip out people just, Jacob, you know, because I remember when nobody wanted to be around me, you know, I mean? I remember when nobody's seen me, you know?

So, it's, I'm very happy for all the fans, really, for all you guys who support me. Thank you. I really am. Thank you. And that's a dope part. WWE does such a good job as brandy, our athletes. Then you see people in your kids. Yo, Mercer A.B. making me ex-al.

My man, look at my dog out here thriving, man. Come on with it. Yeah, come on with it. And then, and then, so my night, I know, I'm sorry, y'all didn't ask the question. I just wanted everybody to know. When I got out the ring yesterday, I went right to N&L Burger, and I went right to my room and turned the AC on, man, all right? Now, listen, be here in a fool guy.

What's your in-and-out order, bro? Oh, bro, you got to get a four-by-four, animal style. Yeah, I mean, extra pickles, no tomatoes. You could keep the lettuce. Yeah, I mean. And then, man, and then you got to get the animal-style fries. Two patties on the side, what they call the flying Dutchman, you know what I mean?

Chop that thing up with the cheese. Throw it on top of the fries. Yeah. I mean, bro, just call it a... Who, you chop it down and put them on the fries? No, bro, bray, you got to... They make the burger. It's two patties with double cheese, throw some chopped onions.

It's called a flying Dutchman. They serve it with no bun. Chop that thing up, yeah, I mean, they throw it on top of the animal fries, man. I got a tap in. I got a tap in. And then we ain't going to call it animal style no more, man. It's Uso style, you know what I'm. And now, if you heard this, you better tap me in.

The last time we was in Boost Mobile, they hit you with the fall. Hey, let's get this money. Yeah, come on. Hey, I'm still waiting for time to tap back in with me. We are too. Hey, we are too. Okay, mother. Okay.

That's the bad we all ain't, though. My bad, my bad. All right. Wrong show. Damn, that was episode one. Sorry, we're on episode three right now, dude. I'm there. Now, if you hear us.

I mean, we're still here now, time. That's show for sure, man. Who next up in the family, though, man? Oh, man. Man, you got... Billah. Oh, no, who next? Zilla.

Who next? Yeah, man, you got my... You know, we got a lot of family members out there. You got the Uso and them's brother, Tamiko, Fatu. You also got my little brother, Journey, Fatu. My cousin, uh, none other. than Umaga's son, Zilla Fatu. Yeah.

For sure. You know what I mean? Everybody's story's different. I can't say who's going to be next because, you know, I wasn't supposed to be here. But I don't matter of way. But yeah, I mean, damn, if we all get here, it might be just a family reunion or something. You know, man. Yeah, man, you can't really be around your family that long, bro.

You know what I mean? They end up getting on your nerves. It's probably how this whole bloodline saga thing started. I was going to ask that. What's the Faultu family reunion look like? Well, especially now, everybody doing all right. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, not everybody. Although now, you know, we got to remember.

We got to remember about the family members who wasn't tapping in with us. Okay, yeah. Yeah, but you know what, it's beautiful, man, with the kids. Well, our family stays here in Las Vegas. Our grandparents are buried out here, you know, so when it comes to Las Vegas, it's different, you know? So, man, just with us tapping in, it feels good to come back, though, especially on WrestleMania 42, dude. Well, first time I did an interview with it was last year.

And what was it? I had 42 on, you know what I mean? The Fattu jersey. So for us to double back, man, it's a good look so far. But to have the kids, the uncles, especially the kids. It's all about our kids now. So you guys very important, man. All right.

Hey, listen, if y'all got a family member, y'all got a family member. Hey, man, no matter what they did, forgive them, man. All right? Y'all got to make it up because, man, life is. It's too short, all right? Last thing you want to, last thing you want on your mind is be like, damn, I should have said bye, I should have said, hello, I should have said, sorry, I should have said I loved you. All right.

I mean, sorry, not to get too personal right now, but, you know what I mean? Just a fool for thought right now. For real gospel, for sure. Obviously, we watched you in the ring last night and you go crazy. What's the training process like for you? What's a weight room situation? Like, we still trying to get me here to Orlando, man. I'm trying to give him in a training session.

Man, I'm looking for the other guy, y'all cameraman who used to wrestle. Oh, he was right there. Oh, I see you in the back. Okay, my bad, my back. He had a lot of the phone. What's up, Bigos? No, but the training, man, so I live right down. I mean, I live around the PC, you know what I mean?

Man, they got classes over there. I mean, it's different with Jacob Fah, too. I could work out, be on the treadmill, like, not be in the ring, but it won't work. When I train, I need to be in the ring. That's just my training. It's like, you know, when y'all are bowling, y'all got to go. I mean, you can work out all you want, but if you're not on that court, you I mean, tapping in doing what you're supposed to be doing is different.

That's why I'm at Natty's on Wednesdays. You know what I mean? That's why we're over there. But man, it's just the first thing in the morning. I mean, right out the gate. But also the big preparation for me, us being Samoans, we like to eat. It's the food prep. It's the meal prep.

So shout out to the Oos and them at the PC who've been doing my meal preps and everything. It's really the meal prems that keep keeping me going, O'S. Hell yeah. I know you talked about family and I watched on another podcast talking about your daughters. They really into the business. They really love it. You see your future on a wrestling. Man, you know what?

I feel like the business is different now. You know, if it was like how it was back then, I probably will say no. But, you know, man, I see that professional wrestling, and this isn't just for me and my children, professional wrestling, this is the one thing that I love about it. Look at all of us here. We're all different colors, different cultures,

different backgrounds, different people. And we're all here for one love. in this professional wrestling, you know? So if that's my, if that's me and my daughters, you know, I mean, are time to really tap in with each other. And, you know, I sit there and I watch how they see it. They're tapped in with every storyline. Mind you, I'm just dad when I go home. I don't know they be watching all that, you know what I mean? But I see it makes them happy. And, man, if they could make a living out of it and if I could lace them up and teach them, you I mean, I mean, they got the support.

But, yeah, I definitely can say my daughter, Jay Love and Janaya, you know what I mean, tapping in with it. So, y'all might see a female version of Jacob Fatu in the next couple years, you know, man. Hey, in the way. That'll be hard. That'll be over, bro. Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet,

Yeah, but with the kids, it's cool. It's just, you know, my daughter, my 8-year-old, somebody came up and, you know, we're eating. I get it.

They're excited. That's fine, you know. But my daughter, you know, she's just like, oh, they're being rude, you know, but we got to break it down. Like, hey, remember when nobody knew your dad. Yeah. You know, but the kids love it, though. You know, they love seeing the fans look and react.

And, you know, I know my kids have been through up and down with me. So for them to actually live this life that they're living right now, it's just a beautiful thing, man. But they also got to remember just as fast as God have bless us with it. God could also take it away just as quick. I mean? So just to tap in with it. with that. For sure, for so, bro.

Man, I don't know. I keep saying this, but, like, we just so proud of you, bro. Just to see this. And like you said, the dope thing about this is everybody comes together on one accord just to celebrate wrestling. What's the one fan or one interaction that really just surprised you the most of caught you off guard? What's that the one fan interaction or something that you met that caught you off guard

or somebody you wouldn't expect it to know who you were. Man, he gave me this last night. That's hard. Yeah, he gave me this. You're a jeweler out there in, uh, uh, uh, Chicago, you know what I mean? And I got, bet him through Zilla Fatu. Zilla texted me and was like,

man, I got a surprise for you. And shout out to my brother Zilla, man, and Solo. You know what I mean? Everything I mean, I'm gonna keep it 100, Solo and Zillow. You're gonna bless me to get this. So, man. Yeah, I mean, so I told y'all,

I went lying, I didn't buy none of this, right? I was serious when I meant that. No, but, man, it's, it was him last night. And I don't really wear jewelry like that. Yeah, I mean, I'm doing it for man. But other than that, bro, this piece is going right back in the box, we're going up. But it's been good, though.

I was very happy, though, when I got this. I got a lot, bro. I kind of wanted to start writing rap songs yesterday, you know what I mean? That's the way I got the tune. Yeah, man. I was like, play the instrumental real quick, you know what I mean? So, yeah, we back at it, though, mate. We're going to know something when that theme music changed, man.

It's going to be you rapping coming out of your whole shit. Come on with it. Come on with it. You know, I had to switch my voice on my entrance music because it was somebody else's voice on there. Yeah, I mean? So that's me at the thing. You know what I mean?

So I'm trying to rap over it, but it ain't coming out too good. Yeah, it's ass right now. It ain't coming out too good. What's some hobbies you didn't picked up outside of wrestling? Like, when you ain't working, man, what you're doing, man, when you're spirit time. Man, I'm with my kids. I mean, I'm just, I'm at home. I'm with my kids.

I'm with my wife. I mean, I'm just, I'm near. If I'm not working out, if I'm not at the gym, or we're probably with, you know, solo, Jimmy, you know, with our kids being together. Yeah. But other than that, bro, I'm tucked off, you know what I mean? Yeah, I'm real tucked off.

like I was tucked off last night in my room with the in and out brother, you know what I mean? For sure, for show, man. Oh, man. It is just amazing to see all this dope stuff going on, man. But touched back on yesterday, just say the family opened up a show

that you go in there second on one of the biggest stages, especially with W.O.B. ever going, being on ESPN, man, for people who don't know who you are to tap in right there on the app, I know we bring it up again, but that's just a surreal feeling, to be live with ESPN getting your shit off, man.

Come on, bro. And I wrestle with the Cuban on, bro. I didn't even know I had it on yesterday. I mean, I forgot to take it off because when I threw my vest on, mind you, when we're back there, bro, I'm about to walk out in front of 50, you know what I mean? I'm about to do this.

And I'm not just wrestling to nobody. I mean, as much as this guy has, you know, I mean, tapped in so bad with me. But, man, Drew is a legend himself. And I'm not even going to sit here and hate on him. But Drew is dope, though. But, man, he brought the best out of me. So I can't believe I'm saying this, though.

But shout out to Drew, though, you know what I mean? Shout out to Drew McIntyre, though, man, for bringing the best out of me, and I'm going to keep it 100. You need, I don't believe none of this would have worked if it wasn't Drew. You know what I mean? Drew, when I seen it and me and him, oh, yeah, come on, let's do it. But Drew is different.

You know, he did tap in, and I did feel some type of way when he spoke about my kids and my wife, you know what I mean? I mean, we can't, I can't do what I want to do no more. You know what I mean? I'm, I changed my life. I'm in a whole other light now, you know what I mean? But at the end of the day, man, he brought the dog out of me. And, man, I'm so happy and I'm so glad everybody enjoyed that match yesterday.

Thank you. Yes. What's that feeling like walking out, hear your music, 50,000 people. Bread, did you see me skipping? I didn't even realize when I was skipping down the stage and felt I went back and watched it, bread. That was,

I was juice. Yeah. I really, and you know on another note, I was so happy, I was so happy to see my culture being represented in wrestling. And with the fire knife, with the fire dance, man,

with the boys, they did their thing. I was more emotional about that because our culture is everything. Yeah, I mean, our culture, God, is, family is everything for us.

So to see my culture be presented like that, you know what I mean? And you kind of threw it off because I wish I would have had on You know, what I got on now representing them, you know, my ear lava, lava on. But, you know, I walked out there looking like major pain. I look like major pain out there. But it was good. It was real good, man.

I couldn't even. You know what it was? I seen Roman Rains before I walked out. He was there yesterday. And, you know, he's just, hey, man, he knows how I am. He knows, but he just, hey, just take a breath, all right? And enjoy it. So when I did walk out, I took a breath and I listened to what Roman said.

And man, that's why if you guys see me walk down and I turn around and I got my arms open and I'm looking at my name, man, bro, that's when I start soaking all that shit in, mate. Like, okay, goddamn it, Jacob Fattu was here and God damn I have fucking arrived here. You know what I mean? So we're here right now at WWE. Hell yeah. So thank you. Well, deserve, brother. We was laughing.

We were like, man, that tunnel walk was long as hell. But the camera falls and stuff? Well, that's probably why I start skipping. Because I was so excited. I couldn't just walk. I mean, Roman's going to walk. I can't wait to see his engines today. I mean, that's big dog.

And it's a feeling when you see him walk down there. But like I said, I only been here for two years, man. I'm excited. So that's probably why I was skipping down there, yeah, I mean? But it was a good look, especially for the second time. The first time was great. L.A. night was great. Don't get me wrong.

L.A. brought a beast out of me, too. And shout out to L.A. night because he was tagging with the Uso's yesterday. Yeah, man. So other than that, bro, yeah, man, we're just tapping in with it real quick. Who's somebody you look forward to, like, matching up with? Man. Anybody you want to call out?

Man, I ain't going to call them out, but when I was in my room with my own eating out backer, I was scrolling through the phone, and I thought about it, and I was like, oh, shit. If me and Gunther was to go out of it. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That's our other five-twity. Yeah, line it up. And I swear, I swear to it, never even crossed my mind. But when I'm sitting there and I see his entrance, it's when I heard his entrance. They brought back the entrance music, his old one. And it just, for some reason, those that just brought me chills for some reason.

I don't know. And then I'm like, no. Yeah. But that's crazy you ask, because that's what happened yesterday. That's wild. And I thought about it. So, I mean, I'm not saying anything going to happen, but, I mean, that is the answer. It is Gunther.

Definitely Gunther. Well, that's a physical matchup right there. At very interesting, you say that, because that's B-Hens guy right there, man. My God, that's my other guy, yeah, yeah. Is he coming on after me? He was yesterday. Oh, he was? All right, well, I'm glad he didn't hear this guy.

He got some big hands, bro. Oh, for sure. Yeah, he'll chop your ass to hell got it on. Yeah, we asked him about that. So why you be slapping the hell out of people, brother? I don't know if that's all. Oh, wrestling work. No, that's for real.

No, this part is for real. Yeah, you know. So, yeah, man. And then, I mean, especially with his journey. Yeah. You know, like his weight loss and everything. And then how he maintained it. He maintained it so well to where you didn't even know he was bigger.

You know what I mean? And so if you're talking about somebody working and doing this thing, you know, I mean? Gunther is definitely up there, man. Yeah, he's talking about his early workouts. When he was trying to get in the ring with me, he said, I started off with a thousand squats. I said that's a hell now I need a new trainer

I need a regimen All the squad is starting to work off What'd you start off your workout with though If you going to the gym, what you're doing? Man, so man so I got a I got a really stretch, bro So for me, I got a really stretch When I was younger on the independence

Man bro, you just show up Throw my gear on, smoke a cigarette And go in the ring, I mean I mean I can't do that no way I'm older now but now the process. I mean, we're talking about AJ styles, Randy Orrin.

I mean, longevity. There's a reason. It's their longevity. I mean, come on, bro. AJ don't retire, man, and he still hasn't lost a step. So, you know, you go and you ask those guys for advice. You know, you ask them.

You know, longevity. It needs to be longevity with them. I'll take a little bit of everybody here and there. But most of the main thing AJ and Randy was doing was, you know, you got to really stretch who should warm up. before you go out there. Yeah.

You know what I mean? So just really just stretching, bro. But really tapping in. Shout out to Jay Cardiield, man. That's my sis. You know, bro, she got like a tan pack. Yeah, I mean? So I'm like, hey, sis, you know,

she got me doing the little ab things over there. But other than that, bro, it's just chest. And we just getting it in. I really be working with Jay. It's either Jay Uso or my little homie from the dungeon. Natty and him. His name's Ariel.

So working out, I wasn't smart at. wrestle, I can wrestle all day. Yeah. But now when we're here, it's a different product. It's a different vibe, you know what I mean?
