All the cool shit that I've ever done. It was before I met him, really. And there's a hundred different lifetimes
Starting point is 00:01:13 that I feel like I've lived before I met him. And all that is just null and void. No one cares. Once you're with him, you're just like, Matt Hardy's wife, that's it. That's your whole personality. There's nothing else special about you. I get it, but at the same time, I'm like, me i guess what am i yeah no for sure so i heard the

Oh, very cool. I love that. So growing up in New York, what was that like for paint that picture for us? Growing up in New York. I feel like now that I've lived in other places than New York and especially now I live in like the deep country, like you got to drive 30 minutes to go to the supermarket. Oh my gosh. I didn't even know places were like that in New York. No, no, no. Now. Now. Yeah. So it so it's like now that i look back on on my upbringing and my childhood like damn i really took shit for granted right i'm out here like you know just going and hanging
Starting point is 00:02:14 out in the city doing it you know just at the drop of a hat and i think about that now it's like man i really gotta drive 20 minutes to go to a walmart like it's crazy but um yeah we my dad was a superintendent of a an apartment building that we lived in and that's how we were able to live in a nicer area which was great so we had three-bedroom apartment in New York and um you're balling yeah no we were balling shout out to my dad because he busted his ass you know I feel like everything I have now even like the gothic baby stuff in my life and my DIY stuff is watching him being like a handyman and doing everything himself. It's like that's where I get it from.
Starting point is 00:02:49 So you have a pretty good relationship with pops. Yeah. We actually ended up moving him down the street. So he lived in Puerto Rico after him and my mom split up. She was fucking the gardener. Damn it, mom. God damn it, mom. You damn trifling.
Starting point is 00:03:04 So the whole, you know know it was when the hurricane was happening in puerto rico about five years back maybe god even longer by now and and we were like you know what every time it rains it rains inside of your house too like this can't we can't do this so we bought him a house on the compound we live on 100 acres in the middle of nowhere so now he's he's part of the compound there he's got his own little house so yeah we, yeah, we're close. And, you know, thank goodness for him. I love that. So you said so growing up, did you have both parents or did they split when you were growing up? Yeah, they were together up until not not long ago. My mom bought a house in Illinois, North Carolina, also unrelated to Matt. Just, you know, meant to be in the stars, I stars i guess yeah and she moves first to to get
Starting point is 00:03:46 the house set up and everything and my dad had it finished so he could collect his pension he had to stay x amount of years or whatever and she ended up you know she went buck wild and then they broke up mom was just ready she fucking had her what do they call it midlife crisis and just fucking yeah just went crazy so growing up what was little rub like? Were you always like into wrestling and stuff like that? Or was that like, were you always roughhousing? Do you have siblings? Yeah, so I have four siblings, but there's like 18 years in between me and the youngest. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:16 So, you know, they were more like parental figures that I really never saw. So almost like uncles really at that point. I'm closer with their kids now who are technically my nieces and nephews than right with my actual siblings so it was just me because I'm my dad's only kid um and uh I feel sorry I feel like wrestling in the like the late 90s like Y2K was it was like the hot cool thing to do it's not like it is now you know it's like oh hokey wrestling yeah nerd like wrestling used to be a cool thing you know it's like everybody was into it so that's kind of you know I I got into it that way yeah did you know like as a kid like this is what I want to do or it was just you were just kind of like a fan about it I was like a
Starting point is 00:04:55 showbiz kid like in dance classes and piano classes and just any sort of like entertainment or stage like I was there so when i was younger i never really thought in a million years that i would have any involvement in wrestling at all that kind of happened after i started working um not even working i did so crazy so this is one of the lifetimes i had this thing where i would go to giants game i was a huge new york giants fan and i would go to all the games and i would dress up and now it's like who cares bitch everyone dresses up listen back 900 years ago whenever this no one was doing this no one was dressing up in crazy outfits and you know like cute corsets and tutus and shit and going to the gate just wasn't happening right so I started getting this
Starting point is 00:05:38 sort of like cult following and becoming like this New York Giants I want to say icon because that's a big word but you know notable and like on NFL Network and in the commercials and all that kind of thing. So I got to do interviews at Sirius XM. And from there, I met somebody who ended up hosting a wrestling show on Sirius XM. And I was like, Oh my god, I used to watch wrestling. I remember wrestling, whatever. Anyway, I ended up being a fill in host for that show. Wow. And then eventually, you know, kept doing that kind of stuff, kind of gopher apprentice type stuff, ended up being an actual host.
Starting point is 00:06:12 And then we would have guests in studio, you know, kind of like this. And everyone who would come in would say, man, you should be in the business. Like, what are you doing over here interviewing me? Like, you should be wrestling. And then when I heard that, you know, enough times, I was like, well, fuck it, let me let me go find a school let me train and literally two months after I started training I got a deal with MTV2 for a wrestling tv show that they were doing it like spiraled from there that's crazy well let's all like one thing to another random yeah who's got a teenager
Starting point is 00:06:40 we do and guess what she is ridiculously hard to keep track of. And if I didn't have Life360 on my phone, I would never know where this kid is. The entire family and I have Life360 and my husband actually uses it more than I do. He knows where everybody is at every time, which I think is so funny. But I'm telling you right now, Life360, if you have a teen, especially one that's newly licensed, you want to know how many miles per hour they're driving. You want to know how long it took him to get from point A to point B. It sounds crazy, but in this world, it's not. Life360 has been a game changer for our family. Life can get chaotic sometimes with that to-do list for yourself and things to do with or for your family. One thing you don't have to worry about is where your family members are thanks to Life360. Life360 is an app
Starting point is 00:07:23 that makes it easier to organize your family's day-to-day routines and lets you see in real time where they are so you can eliminate the stress of wondering and asking them where they are. I gotta admit, I was super iffy about the family having each other's locations in the beginning because I just felt like it was kind of a breach of privacy, but I'm telling you right now, peace of mind is priceless and knowing that our daughter is okay at all times means so much to me knowing that my husband made it to another city when he's on tour them being able to check on me and know where I'm at what if my battery is low on my phone

Let's rewind it back real quick before we start talking about your wrestling and let's talk about this child bride thing oh we cannot just skip over that i always do though i drop it every now and then and then i keep moving yeah that's trauma you're like long story bro well we're ready so everybody get your coffee get your fucking crumpets and tea we are sitting down right now it's tea time okay all right child ride so how old were you um I was 16 technically the whole thing started when I was 15 but I was you know I I want to say
Starting point is 00:08:54 like problem child but when I look back at it like was I really like I was sort of in the foster care system for a minute I was in the troubled teen industry which like you know I don't know if you guys seen like that Paris Hilton interview that she did yeah speaking out it was literally that it was one of those places did you just start getting into trouble what was the I mean it wasn't even trouble I wasn't like I wasn't on drugs I wasn't like you know out here robbing people I was rebellious I feel like I was just a regular ass teenager the way you would expect teenagers to be right my mom was really crazy so So she was just, I don't know. She had me really, I don't want to say really old,
Starting point is 00:09:27 but she had me at like 41, which in the 80s is like miracle baby. You know, nowadays it ain't nothing. But back then it was a big deal. She already had four kids, you know. So I feel like she really, really liked me when I was a little baby. And then once I stopped being a baby, it was like this bitch. It was hard for her to relate to you. She didn't want to do, it felt like she didn't want nothing to do with me so I feel like anything that wasn't just me being like a complacent like
Starting point is 00:09:50 doll that she could dress up at that point was like too much so anything I did was trouble and I had met this guy and it was like my third boyfriend in my life ever, you know, like 15 years old, whatever. But he was Jewish. And the neighborhood right, you know, next to the neighborhood that I grew up in, like Regal Park, Lefrak, was a huge, like, Hasidic Jewish community. So his parents were like hardcore Jewish. So they absolutely hated me. And it was like, it was this huge thing huge thing so his mom just to be spiteful called cps on my mom and because i was already in the system and like cops had been called to the house
Starting point is 00:10:33 prior because like we'd be fighting and throwing hands craziness you know they were like yeah she we're just gonna she's gonna go back in the foster system. And I was like, bro. So what ended up happening was they sort of like arranged for me to marry this guy so that my mom wouldn't go to jail because they were threatening her with that. Like, cause his mom had said, oh, you're allowing them to have sex in your house and you're soliciting, facilitating all this illicit thing, blah, blah, blah. So my mom's like, you ain't, you about to catch me in none of this. So she's like, you're going to marry him. It's going to go away. And I'm going to wipe my hands clean of it. I don't have to deal with you. And now I'm not going to get in trouble. Kind of is really how it happened. How did you feel? Were you ready to get married and kind of get away and get out of the
Starting point is 00:11:14 system? Well, you know, my dumb ass at 15, I'm like, Oh, I love him. Like, this random dude, I know for a few months. What do I know know how did his parents feel about the arrangement were they okay they were mad oh they were mad mad mad because she was playing the game you know because his mom thought haha i'm gonna break them up you know i'm gonna end this and the you know his her mom's gonna get in trouble and my mom was like bet so they're like playing their little chess game yeah yeah so that that's really that's how that happened and it was it was terrible you know I went to my first prom I was with my husband I was married before I went to my first prom and you know just having to figure out where we're gonna live now how are we gonna make money now you
Starting point is 00:11:55 know and it's it's not like you know around where I live no just get an apartment get a room in New York it's like you know two grand for a studio for for a room, whatever. So, I mean, it took a lot of, I feel like, time to develop and, like, become my own person and, like, pursue my own interests that I should have been able to have as a normal fucking teenager, like regular teenagers. Like, it took that away from me. I feel like part of that is why I'm, like, so psycho into everything. Like, I literally do everything and anything because, like, I couldn't do that before. Like, let me be crazy now crazy now no I love that um how long did that marriage last
Starting point is 00:12:30 uh technically it was two almost three years but I mean it really it was over like a marriage really it was how did you guys get like did he work? Did you work? Like, how did you guys even live? Yeah, we both worked. I worked as a belly dancer. So I worked for an entertainment company. I would do weddings, bar mitzvahs, uh, you know, can you belly dance for us still? I mean, I got the belly for it now. I guess I could. I love the way they move their hips and shit. Like it is just, it's like, it puts people in a trance. It does. It is so hot and seductive, dude.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Okay, so after you get this divorce, you're how old? Almost 18. Almost 18. Where does Reby go from here? You're 18, just divorced. Yeah, divorcee. And I took my wedding photos from a wedding photo shoot that we had done at the mall like one of those like glamour shots places and i uploaded it onto like glamour shots
Starting point is 00:13:32 i remember i'm fucking embarrassing i need to go find these pictures because i think you make a good story time or something i'd do it i put it on this like model portfolio website yes and within the first like week i met this guy of course him and a bunch of guys bunch of fucking creeps because that's what that shit was and yeah yeah if they hide behind a modeling agency oh yeah i'm a photographer you know come do artistic photos yeah there was a lot of that and i learned that pretty quick yeah i was dumb but i caught on pretty quick yeah but i met this guy who I ended up dating very briefly, but he had a friend and he was like, oh yeah, I got this friend who's a photographer and he shoots film.
Starting point is 00:14:10 And, you know, I feel like he, you know, you'd be a good fit for him because I used to be like 90 pounds, like super, you know, ideal for that kind of stuff that he was doing at the time. So I went and I did that. We shot on like some rooftop in the city. I went to Montauk in Long Island in the Hampt did that we shot on like some rooftop in the city i went to montauk and in long island in the hamptons and we shot some stuff that ended up being the guy who shot my first playboy pictures my first playboy pictures i didn't even know we're gonna be i
Starting point is 00:14:36 didn't even know i was gonna be in playboy i got a call from this guy six months eight months after the fact and he's like oh i'm gonna be in playboy and i was like congratulations and he's like no no no we're gonna be in playboy and i was like isn't this what isn't that crazy how back in the day like people could take anybody's pictures as long as they had the author or not even an authorization but as long as they had the pictures and submit them to a fucking magazine like playboy it's insane they would never do that now i couldn't imagine the lawsuits that would happen now is crazy you know but it's like they were like film pictures on the beach I literally thought he was just like because I was sort of like his test models for when he would you know shoot the real beautiful models you know like the real tall girls or you know there's stuff that he because
Starting point is 00:15:18 he was doing arts and books and museums and stuff like that so I was like okay nothing's ever gonna come of it and you know that ended up being published and from there I was like bitch I'm gonna run with this yeah this is my moment and I like took that and literally like marketed myself to try and be the most important model that has ever modeled in the fucking world of modeling like I was just like this is my chance and I just I hooked my trailer up to that and went and it worked out thank god so you got published in playboy what happens after that uh after that really just like magazine stuff signed to a couple agencies i ended up moving to florida um and then sort of the whole giants thing and from there it went to radio and to wrestling okay so now we
Starting point is 00:16:02 circle back to when you got signed you got signed by who was it again and was it you didn't say mtv who who signed for the wrestling yes so it was a company it was called lucha libre usa and it was um it was a show to be on mtv okay gotcha so it was on mtv mtv2 it was on the latino mtv um and and yeah i was thrown into wrestling my first match my first proper match was televised on live tv so it's like crazy because a lot of times wrestling fans would be like this dumb bitch she's only in wrestling because of match she sucks that's the only reason she had a chance like literally like this was I had like months of training and thrown into it and that's it on tv bam it wasn't like how most people you know years of training and you know going to a facility and you know having indie matches it was like boom right away on tv
Starting point is 00:16:50 with like veterans of wrestling fucking swim so yeah it was like yeah go ahead bitch good luck and so how did that first match turn out i feel like they protect the producers of the match protected me enough it was like a six girl tag match at least but i mean i was so fucking scared oh i bet because you know those bitches are tough oh my god oh my god the the people that had me in there too i thought i was gonna die and it's very like wrestling cult mentality like the the culture of wrestling so like shit on the new girl and to like show her who's boss kind of thing so in that match necessarily it really wasn't but like that is sort of the whole feeling around wrestling in general
Starting point is 00:17:30 which is where i feel like a lot of my wrestling beef started with because people are like oh this new bitch she hasn't paid her dues me whatever the fuck like it's like a pecking order it really is and it's like a lot of those people got bullied coming up and even if it was coming up 20 years ago when you know the culture around wrestling and what was socially acceptable was a lot different 20 years ago people used to be shitting in people's bags just to show them who's boss and that was normal you do that now you're going to jail you know what i mean so it's like those people went through that and they're like oh who's this you know little pretty bitch coming up and she thinks she's just gonna roll up in here and have a spot and then especially once I started dating Matt it was like bullseye on this dumb bitch so take me take us into your wrestling career a little bit so you
Starting point is 00:18:10 did that first match and then where does that go from there how long after your first match did you meet Matt so we actually met on Twitter oh really okay awesome the worst way to meet anybody honestly I mean you could have said tinder so I mean oh my god better than tinder it's more embarrassing than that I feel like but I I was doing I started doing indie stuff so I did it sort of backwards right I was like on tv and then I started doing independent stuff locally and I was doing a lot of announcing work because I was still working in radio so people sort of like recognize me for being able to talk kind of thing believe it or not I think you're doing great it's a very different life and um this girl on
Starting point is 00:18:47 twitter saw that i was gonna be at a show or the show that saw that matt was gonna be at a show and she she tweeted me and i had just broken up with somebody and i'm lamenting like my life is a very dramatic fucking emo 2012 twitter you know whatever yes very much that i'm gonna die my life is not very dramatic so this girl i guess wrestling fan seen it and she was like you know whatever yes very much that i'm gonna die my life is not very dramatic so this girl i guess wrestling fan seen it and she was like you know what you should you should try and talk with this guy matt hardy he's just he's been through a breakup and i don't even know what they were referencing but bitch i i found out since um she's like he's been through a breakup and you've been you guys would be really great together and he just like wrote back like a colon parentheses.
Starting point is 00:19:26 This is how long ago. It wasn't even emojis yet. Like winky face. And I was like, uh-huh, yeah, sure. I'll let you know when the wedding is or whatever. And literally it just started with bullshit flirtations back and forth because like this random fan on Twitter decided that we needed to be together.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Out of thin air. But that's destiny. You know, I mean, literally, I guess if you think about, I mean, fuck, you guys have been together, what, 10 years now, longer, 13, 13 years. Like that's obviously that was definitely written in the cards. Okay. So you and Matt are fucking tweeting each other. When do you guys officially meet? So there was that show that that girl was saying, oh, you should. Oh, so there was a show that he had that weekend and the fan persisted right because i probably would have just let it go but the feeling was like are you gonna go see him and i was like how else are we supposed to consummate
Starting point is 00:20:12 the marriage jokes on me bitch hello now look at me but you know so i ended up actually getting booked on that show so he was performing and i was booked as a an announcer on that show and then we met and from there it was like almost inseparable like from that day blue crazy yeah oh look at your eyes light up when you talk about it she's like he drives me nuts but i love him oh i love that so you guys get together you deal with the backlash of his breakup right we don't really have to touch too much on it because i know people go are today yes yeah i see i've seen it online and I'm like, bro, they have fucking four kids together. They literally are been married 13 years.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Like, leave her alone. So you catch all this backlash. You know, how do you deal with everything that was getting thrown your way? Like the girls are picking on you and the wrestling and then, you know, you're dealing with the backlash from that. How did you guys kind of like come together and just buckle down yeah man it it was hard i really had to hold my own but on top of it at the time he was going through like a shit time like a ton of issues so he was like always in the press like getting in trouble and i was having to you know toe that line of not wanting to defend him
Starting point is 00:21:25 because I was the one trying to pull him out of it but also like not wanting people to shit on your man kind of thing so I got a lot of shit just for even sticking by him half the time and you know we were young and dumb and probably not making the best choices you know he got out of rehab for one day and the first thing we did was like do a nude photo shoot like post-apocalyptic and I look back and I'm like what the fuck was I thinking bro but you know i'm sure to fans they're like baby what the hell is this you know it probably looked fucking crazy but you know so it was a lot of backlash some of it was deserved because we i was i was just young and dumb and you know just going with it and i've always had like a very like troll mentality like you're not about to talk crazy to
Starting point is 00:22:02 me right without having me talk back and i've calmed down a lot yeah it's hard because you can't win but i'm like you're not gonna disrespect me i don't care if it's if if you're if you got a screen behind you if you don't mind you want to say that to my face i want to let that slide in person why am i gonna let it slide now like you don't find out liver in your presence yeah exactly so it's like i i used to have to attack everybody so yeah i've had to learn that this very past week. It's very hard to keep your mouth shut, especially when it's like, you know, the whole story and they don't. And everybody's got a fucking opinion. Oh, yeah. Now I just tell people, you know, hopefully you can mind your business this week, you know, and they hate it because they're like you, too.
Starting point is 00:22:40 And I'm like, you're on my page. You know, it's so hard not to go back and forth. So let's move forward. You and Matt have been together. You guys have created this beautiful life. How do you guys end up in North Carolina? How do you guys end up in North Carolina? So his, he's from there. His whole family's from there like for 300 years. Just everyone's been born on the same block kind of thing. Wow. And we've lived on the same, I say block, but you know, country block. Yeah, well, you're from New York, so it makes sense. But yeah, I mean, and he'll never leave.
Starting point is 00:23:12 I've tried, especially before we had kids. Well, let's get a place in Florida. Let's get a place in New York. I tried to get him to buy my old apartment 10 years ago. And 10 years ago, it was like 500,000. That shit's like 800,000. And I'm like, we should have bought it. Yeah. You know 500 000 that's just like 800 000 i'm like we should have bought it yeah you know but he he's just born and raised there his whole family's from there forever
Starting point is 00:23:30 he will never leave we'll be there forever that's how country boys are my husband will never leave nashville as much as he says he wants to we're never gonna leave oh he he don't even want to though he's just like this is it that's all he knows so so you guys bought 100 acres in north carolina it was just there it was just there oh you guys built so you guys built your house on the acres yeah so it's sort of like the family compound that was it used to be like his dad's house and then like the house he grew up in across and then his sister's house and the next to that was like another family house it was like this huge plot of farmland i think they used to be like tobacco farmers or something so awesome Matt had the 40 acres on it and then we've sort of built on Jeff
Starting point is 00:24:10 his brother is next to us and then across is their dad who's passed and then next to that is my dad I love that that is really awesome yes so take me into the house. Where did you, have you always been into Gothic interior? Like, is that your thing? Like take me on this journey of Gothic baby. Cause everybody is just obsessed with Gothic baby. I, that's what drew me in. That was the first video of yours I ever saw. I was like, look at this fucking baby. I was like, this is so amazing. And then I saw the, all your shit that you do. And I'm like, oh, God, I'm following her. She's like inspiration, like for the decor and shit. Love it.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Thanks. I grew up, you know, that apartment that I grew up in Queens, I mentioned that my dad was the super of the building. Right. So when people would die, he would get he would get first dibs on their apartment. You know what I mean? Like if next of kin didn't come and claim the stuff, it's going in the dump or my dad's taking it.
Starting point is 00:25:04 You know what I mean? Right. So we had this very eclectic mix of like antiques and old stuff and oddities and sort of weird stuff. So that was the apartment that I grew up in. It was very like mixed match and antique. Right. So to me, that was normal.
Starting point is 00:25:18 And I always thought that was the most beautiful thing. I didn't never want anything modern or, you know, futuristic, even throughout like Y2K. Everything's, you know, modern throughout like Y2K everything's you know modern I just I wanted to live like in a castle my whole life so even like I feel like I would ask for Christmas for like I want like a beauty and the beast mirror but like I would get like something pink and plastic and I'd be like what the fuck is this right I wanted the carved wood gilded exactly so that's sort of like my whole life that was like goals you know so when i had when i was pregnant with gothic baby uh is she evermore yeah i love the names thank you i love all i what
Starting point is 00:25:54 is it maxill evermore wolfgang which i found out on twitter is very controversial name bartholomew fuck i didn't know that i didn't either until i posted it apparently bartholomew is like a name that you call somebody to like make fun of them or like, when you think somebody's not cool, you just like Karen. You're like, okay, Karen, if somebody's not cool, you say like, okay, Bartholomew. Like I didn't know that. I've never heard that in my life. Me neither, bro. No, I felt like, God damn it. I didn't know that. That is insane. Okay. So when you were pregnant with Gothic baby. So she was my first girl after three boys. And I have it in my head, like, I'm a boy mom.
Starting point is 00:26:28 That's all I am. I don't know how to deal with a girl, especially with all the horseshit with my mom. I didn't know how to have a relationship, like, with a mom or with a girl. You had to break the cycle. So, you know, the first girl after... Sorry. Matt's over here like, ASMR.
Starting point is 00:26:43 It's okay, it's okay. Bro. No, he's good no the first girl after three boys and I could either like go completely pink ruffle glitter like you know Barbie or you know maybe something more gender neutral which is what I ended up going with so the original intent for like the nursery was never I was never like I'm gonna make a gothic nursery it was like I'm gonna do something neutral and try and make it like as lux as i can without being modern so to me what does that mean a lot of antiques a lot of like draperies and stuff and then even in just sharing that stuff you know and there's nothing inherently i would say goth in her room and i feel like there's a difference between like goth and gothic like
Starting point is 00:27:21 gothic i feel like is more of a style aesthetic and architectural style and goth is more like the music scene or you know the fashion or you know maybe even into emo whatever the hell you know so but people were seeing that i was just posting little bits here and there on my social media and people were just going crazy like this poor child living in a gothic house she has no color like you know a huge fucking house yeah yeah poor child yeah like we just put her in this one room all day and that's all it's gonna be yeah so the whole gothic baby thing started as like a satirical response like to what these people were saying like oh this gothic baby just mopes around all day surrounded by darkness so literally i didn't mean for it to
Starting point is 00:28:00 be a series it was just me like you know like I was wanting a troll yeah like you're being I'm being sarcastic like yes my poor fucking child gothic baby yeah and that that's how it happened if it popped off and people really liked it I was like dude it more than popped off it's literally just viral everybody knows gothic baby now which is fucking insane she's like she's like damn it I get showed up by my husband and then I get showed up by my fucking kid I've always said I'm the least popular person in my family. Not true, though, because you're probably the glue that holds everybody together. That is true.
Starting point is 00:28:32 I feel like us wives, we don't get enough fucking credit. But it is what it is. So do you have plans on branding Gothic Baby or trademarking it? So I'm actually in the middle of writing a children's book. And it's sort of like based on her and inclusivity and that kind of thing um and I mean I would love to take it to the moon you know I love doing it it very much fits like our our organic family dynamic and how we actually live and what our house really is you know it's not like a front or anything it just it started because
Starting point is 00:29:04 that's what the hell was happening in my house you know so it would be great to to keep on going with that are you gonna put the kids into it too the other kids the older ones the younger ones it's funny because anytime uh bartholomew bless his heart poor thing uh we call it his party you know party hardy it rhymes you know yeah poor thing i didn't know about the bardy okay i ain't never that's news to me i am so tired of the internet though girl you caught me on the right week because i am just the fucking internet is so sensitive dude like you can't do anything right no you can't do anything period yeah you're damned if you do you're damned if you don't so just fucking live your life fuck them like who cares love you guys but fuck you okay no i feel you there but but anytime we even
Starting point is 00:29:46 see anything black or like you know for example I like have my nails done right and they're like you know they're darker they're black and the first thing that Barty says he comes to is his gothic baby nails like anything black is like gothic baby and you know they see their sister you know when I do my little bits and stuff with her and they he's always trying to get in you know they always want to be in and even our first kid you know he was on do my little bits and stuff with her and he's always trying to get in, you know, they always want to be in. And even our first kid, you know, he was on the road with us at wrestling shows on TV from the time he was four months old. Yeah. Like literally traveling the world. He's been to like four different continents at this point at like one, you know, so they're just we're just a showbiz family. That's just sort of how it is. You know, a lot
Starting point is 00:30:21 of people have done a reality show on you guys yet we're actually talking to a bunch of people now uh but i don't want to jinx anything but like if not i'll produce it with my production company that shit would be amazing dude oh but i i agree there's so there's so many different things that that are happening at any given time that i feel like are weird and different but yeah i hate the whole reality show thing because it takes forever for the networks and like the filming. This is what we've been doing it with Chelsea Handler for fucking since 2018. Or when was it? When did we meet her?
Starting point is 00:30:52 Yeah. 2018. And it is a fucking process. Yeah. It takes forever. That just scares me because I'm like, first of all, she's not gonna be a baby forever. Yeah. And then secondly, you gotta like strike while the iron's hot, you know,'m very impatient as a person that's what i just did with me so i'm it might end up
Starting point is 00:31:10 being i'll help you we'll talk about it whenever um we're done with this interview like for real thank you that would be awesome to go out there and like film for a few weeks and just get get a whole thing for you guys we would be down yeah we would love that i'll talk to you about it after this um but yeah so okay so you guys still are you still wrestling or no no matt is still wrestling he is yeah that's crazy that fucking how long has he been in the business do you want to come say hi he's eating he doesn't have to it's okay yeah 31 31 years like that's fucking insanity but do you you think that your boys are gonna follow in his footsteps you know when they were younger it was like literally all they were about and you know you'd ask them what do you want to be when you grow up and we would i homeschool so we do
Starting point is 00:31:56 our little board every year for you know the beginning of the fucking super season thank you and you know it would say what do you want to be when you're up and it was always rest and rest and rest i feel like the older one which is the one that was on tv he literally had a match on tv when he was one years old like insane i feel like he's almost like a jaded vet like he's over it it's funny the other two are very much like the younger ones are very much into it we have a wrestling ring in our house so like they're always asking to go out there and you know the little little one is is in jujitsu right now so it's i feel i'm scared i'm almost scared to say it because i know how the business is like i want them to do it because it would be cool and obviously like carry on the
Starting point is 00:32:35 hearty legacy and yeah it makes sense but at the same time i'm like i've been there i know what it's like and that scares the shit out of me. Yeah. Just going to, it's in their hands. Whenever that comes, you guys will deal with it as it comes. I guess. I don't even want to think about it, honestly. What if she is like, I want to be the wrestler? No. Hard fucking no.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Gothic baby, the wrestler. I'm sorry. I let her have complete body and personal life autonomy until then. Yeah. The fuck you are. Yeah. Like, no, you're not fucking doing it girl i've been there uh-uh you don't you don't want this well what do you think gothic the
Starting point is 00:33:11 whole thing for you your family gothic baby what do you see it in 2022 or 20 sorry wrong year what do you see for 2023 gothic baby your brand all that stuff what would you want to manifest if you could manifest something right now i would love to have uh like a like a reality series or something and make it sort of like a modern day adams family you know not not tie myself you know not too close to that whole thing but i mean it is a huge part you know sort of like the osbournes were like the cool alt reality family back in the day I feel like you know we could there's not really that much representation I feel like for alt people that's positive at least and I feel like you know we do have that style and we do have that lifestyle and that
Starting point is 00:33:54 aesthetic but you know we're also I don't know I would say fairly wholesome we're pretty cool there's a lot going on I feel like that'd be cool to share because extremely wholesome there's already so many like misconceptions about every single person in this family at this point that it would be nice to like one clear the air and then to like just share the good parts. I think it'll be awesome. And I think it will happen for you guys because you guys have a very I love whenever he gets in the TikToks too, because he's like my husband, my husband hates to get in the TikToks. And you can tell he's like something the other day. And I was like, I forget what it was that he was saying, but I was like, Oh my God, this is like literally word for word what my
Starting point is 00:34:27 husband would say. He always says you can be the online persona and I'm the fucking musician. Like he's like, I just want to be mysterious.
