quite a collection of yeah you can get into there and we shut that door do you
mind oh sorry no you're good actually it was your fault but do you have you have
quite a collection of things that people have made for you I saw in the
documentary yeah I've got a bunch of collection I've been collecting since I
started making money at 17 but just isn't it funny when somebody makes
something for like isn't it yeah I almost feel like you can't show the
appreciation that things really deserve sometimes yeah totally yeah it's cool
to it's cool when somebody I love art in general when somebody puts their
artistic ability to like do something with you involved it's always dope it's
like no it's amazing especially when it's fans and all the stuff yeah it's
crazy you have a yet a marionette somebody made like a yeah you have the
marionette you I mean just briefly in the documentary able to see different
little they didn't felt they don't focus on it but they had just little thing you
see a little doodad or a piece of art here yeah you know yeah you really get
led into my world so you see a lot of sort of my house and my some of my stuff
I collect like collect giant things I have a giant chair in it a giant like
tennis racket oh yeah weird stuff like that do you some of my I just started
drinking Diet Coke yeah I drink diet stuff too I feel like an old person when
I drink it do you I guess so yeah I mean you know it's better than all that
sugar though there's these really great ones called the United States of Soda
that just came out and I'm only saying it because I just fell in love with it
it's a just 30 grams of sugar like not sure grams of sugar 30 30 calories total
oh yeah so it's like just a little teeny but it tastes good it's better than a
LaCroix or whatever I like LaCroix and you could burn 30 calories you could
bend over and pick something up and burn third hat you know that's 15 calories
right there I have to run into you at the gym before yeah and now I got my my
mini Theo Vaughn working now you're coming in you do a little bit of flair
growing huh yeah yeah you know flying Brian Pillman Jr. or bulletproof Brian
Pillman was really my inspiration Diamond Dallas Page had always had a great
mullet yeah yeah they got a lot of good mullets I'm trying to think of some they
had back and they even had haircuts that were who was some early mullet work
that they had in wrestling some early guys age was definitely and flying Brian
Pillman the Rockers Marty Janetti and shot old-school Sean Michaels yeah wild
haircuts I'm trying to think of hacks all Jim Dougan mate he his was just kind
of such a funny guy yeah his wife Debbie is so nice oh yeah they were at
legends of wrestling the last match at the at in the documentary yeah they're
really great people you meet the you meet these wrestlers and a lot of the
time like Rick Flair is incredible too but his wife Wendy's like the sort of
boss behind all these guys you know what's like my wife Christine is the
boss behind me and she's responsible for producing this whole film and dealing
with all the crap that came along with it yeah so it oh there he is right there
yeah oh yeah he looked like he would use that board up like a standardized test
honestly yeah people get it signed and everything that's awesome yeah his whole
thing was amazing yeah man that was a wonderful time that was a time when big
boss man that's the time when I grew up in that when you had real I don't know
I guess that's when I was a kid too so that's when I saw it you know it was
like headlights looking right at me of just excitement staying up late at night
at 10 30 to see a Saturday night sometimes on Saturday night yeah they
would have a championship bout yeah yeah well it was all this it was something
they set up it was thick these were really weird matches a Saturday night
main event yes and then it would just be like these quick I don't think like any
real belts wherever exchanged it wasn't a typical kind of fight it was more like
a spectator thing yeah yeah it was wild man I remember just so excited and
sometimes I pass out cuz the excitement I remember just waking up in the morning
and didn't know what had happened and my brother was gone and yeah no internet
back then you couldn't catch up no you had to find a friend your internet was
the first friend you saw at the bus stop or whatever and you'd be like what
happened Larry like I got ground and you're like this fucking it like this
dude is dial up man I need a real friend who has facts yeah that's what's also
cool about wrestling it's like I have a couple friends Brent Joseph and Curtis
Reynolds who have just been my friends for years but they're friends that love
wrestling too so we all like it's almost like those kids again growing up you
can call up and talk to them that's what I love about RJ City to my tag team
partner we can talk wrestling and he's all he's wrestled half of these guys so
he can tell you stories about hacks on Jim Duncan or you know Piper or whatever
good tales yeah you know the closest thing I've seen a wrestling in a while
in real life is we nick do you have that uh bring up that park thing in Portland
the other day this anti I don't know if you saw this or not this is okay have
you ever you're familiar with RJ City at all I'm not I saw it's hilarious I saw
really funny on Instagram is he I mean Twitter yeah he's a real Twitter he's a
real millennial I'll have to check him out this is protesters in a park but this
to me seemed like yeah to me I know like a lot of these people like you know a
lot of this is political stuff but a lot of it to me has a very it starts to get
a very wrestling type I do you see any that when you see some of these park
battles these days it seems like a lot of costuming you know what the best thing
I've seen on the internet it just came up this morning on Reddit it was otter
gangs fighting each other in Singapore yeah these gangs of otters are getting
together and they're fighting each other in Singapore oh water animals you mean
otters yeah the otters that reminded me of wrestling oh let's see this this is so
fun look at these otters oh hell yeah so they're like these otters that are just
wild otters but there's gangs of them and they don't like the other gang and
they're like they're having a rumble here these otters just oh they're going to
add it look at the small crew they're smaller than the big crew and they're
going for it this is very BLM royal rumble stuff oh my god look at those
guys coming off the top rope you saw that really into it do they know who
these otters are are they pets or that people brought or these are just these
are natural they know they they like I think they might have bred the otters
for this lake but then they they broke up into two different groups and then they
don't like each other man it's kind of like Romeo and Juliet a little yeah but
like Gangnam style yeah that's in Asia Singapore yep wow west side story oh
they do that dude they'll fight anything I wonder if Michael Vicks behind this I
feel like dude how how how crazy do you think if Michael Vick would have fought
a cute animal against each other I wonder if it would have been different oh
man like sure bull or hey you know like I guess probably not because they had it
was I think they got upset because I like a lot of the deaths of the animals
but anyway yeah so my friends a cop who's in the documentary Jerry in
Connecticut he just sent me a video two of these two turkeys funny about animals
fighting over a girl was just so funny and I guess we do it yeah I guess animals
will get real territorial yeah you know yeah did you ever get in a fight for a
girl whenever you were younger you think yeah for sure I once got upset I dated
Alyssa Milano for a little while and I once got upset she showed up at this
club we all go to Roxbury and she showed up with another dude and we were just
broken up and I was like crushed did you stay in the club no I came outside I
kicked her car unfortunately I apologize to her since she's she's cool I was a
real piece of work but I just kicked the side of her car you gotta do that bad
but we didn't even really fight it was so pathetic were you pretty heartbroken
or not you think oh yeah she was like one of my first love I mean yeah she's a
wonderful girl dude you had a real nice smile huh yeah I must be nice but we all
you I mean you were pretty handsome I mean you're still a handsome guy thank you
but I mean this is a time in our lives when you people really were I was just
young young and in Hollywood for the first time never really had pictures
taken of me wow I was a mess though I'd once I confess my left I hope but she
doesn't mind me sharing all this but uh we're once confessed her love and I had
taken some pill and then oh yeah we had some real sweet conversation and I'd
forgotten all about it but she was so hurt I don't blame her I was a real like
horrible boyfriend oh we went on this really beautiful trip oh I feel so
I mean it's at least you're honest about being a bad boyfriend I was a really bad
boyfriend oh man we went on this trip and we were playing this mixtape and it
was all these beautiful love songs and then she popped it out and she saw some
girls writing on it she's like where'd you get this tape and I was like for my
old girlfriend she's like how dare you I didn't get it at the time I totally get
it now but yeah yeah it's been a long road to figure out how to be a good man
that's been something for me oh yeah I feel that man I feel dude that's what
this whole podcast is based on oh dude struggling men you're young guy you got
a serious lady or no I've never had a serious lady in my life no no kidding I
don't think so I mean I have yeah I've just never been in a relationship where
I didn't lie or cheat you know that's kind of really I think been my MO you
know kind of I've always like I think like dude I remember having a part some
girl invited me to Colorado one time I go she takes me to a party I'm at the
party somehow I end up getting her to play like a board game at a new tick a
long time and then I met some snuck offs with some other girl and like profess
my love to some girl in this closet and yeah I don't know everybody's feelings
got hurt yeah I hear you my first marriage I was really faithful and
everything and you know it's it's all it's one way or another at all I don't
know there was a lot of stuff that happened I got my heart broken and I
don't know I know it's it's important to be faithful and you know true it's hard
though it is hard you know especially when you have broken heart and you got
animosity and like for you like when you lose faith and love yeah you know so
nice I think I lost faith in love like before I even knew what love was you
know yeah totally yeah totally I mean I'm still trying to figure out everything
marriage and family and all that stuff well you got a beautiful group over there
you got that little fellow that high-fived in the documentary yeah Charlie and
Gus the incredible wife Christina who's been amazing and really taught me a lot
about loving myself and you know that's really what it all comes down to like I'd
been on this whole quest to like you know find love and all this stuff and is
cliche as it is that people say you have to love yourself before you can truly be
loved or or you know experience love in that way I did learn that through this
whole thing that it really is true because sometimes let's see you have all
these things at least I have all these feelings that I'm like you know I don't
know does she love me or does you know just certain things happen during the
whole thing of this movie which were pretty intense just yeah there's a
cute man yeah her being really upset with me like do you want just want to
die like is that what you want to do and I had to sort of come to terms with that
like I don't want to die but I wasn't happy either so I had to figure out how
to love myself as crazy as that sounds what were some things you feel like
because like I mean I go to you know I'm in recovery so I go to like stuff like
that you know that's good yeah that stuff helps so that stuff helps it's good
to have like a group that kind of helps me yeah for sure it's hard for me to not
be like I got my biggest thing is just with my mom I go through moments where
it's just like there's no point in like being upset anymore it's almost like my
brain like like sometimes I feel like she was mean to me when I was really
little before I even knew I was alive or anything you know right I can't go back
and fight those wars I don't even know if it really happened right sometimes I
think I'm just over extremely overly sensitive you know yeah and then you
grow up in a world where it's like you got to be a tougher you got to be able
to you know put a rear naked choke on somebody or something you know like you
know and then it gets scary and then now I'm a little older it's like okay at
least I can try to figure out who I am a little bit and not be scared at least to
do that yeah for a while I was scared to even kind of figure out what I was
feeling or anything you know yeah completely it gets interesting so the
doc I watched the documentary last time I didn't watch the last 20 minutes
because I didn't want to ask you about anything that would give it away so it's
it's a documentary it's a mockumentary there were parts where I didn't kind of
know like it's it seems like a little bit of I don't know you tell me it's a
documentary okay I didn't like they kind of set it up so I'd start from the
bottom and go up but like even there's a death match in it that wasn't planned
they weren't even supposed to be filming that night something I set up I'm the one
who also went on all the independent circuit the film crew didn't really
follow me on all that I love that yeah it was really fun it was a real education
yeah when you get to places like there's a moment that I can mean you get to the
place and uh well here's a question right here that came in from a young
fellow for you nice this is all real-time stuff no no no no this is real
time so this is all we'll be edited later but these were sent picked up this
week since you're David Arquette why in the goddamn buck would you wrestle Nick
Gage in a death match what's the point you could wrestle so many other indie
stars but why would you choose someone that is willing to stab you to death
with a light to get back good good question good question I should have
asked myself that before I did it what happened was I was supposed to wrestle
Joey Janella who's an incredible wrestler the spring before that but I
couldn't because I got injured or I was doing a movie or something so then they
were doing another spring break the next year in Los Angeles and I and the
wrestler was wrestling the gauge fell out and he said you want to rest on the
gauge and I didn't even really know who he was and didn't know much about like
death matches I knew about hardcore matches I knew certain things but I
didn't know that there was death matches are kind of frowned upon by some
professional wrestlers because they call it garbage wrestling kind of came from I
don't know if it came from backyard wrestling it they have a whole world of
it and oh yeah Mexico and then tetanus shot wrestling we used to call it no
getting yeah yeah yeah in the shot circuit yeah yeah I actually asked
somebody before that because my wife was all concerned she's like a freaking
why do you do you know if they anyone has like you know what you call it first
eight yet no no like have been tested for like hepatitis or something I was
like I don't know do you ask somebody hepatitis is a black wrestler that I
know no kidding that's hilarious yeah so I didn't know like if I was supposed
to ask I didn't know I was in over my head you know I have been I really am
trying to figure this all out but I went on I did a bunch of research on on
death matches and everything I still didn't know what I was getting into so
but to answer the question I wanted to that's a segment of wrestling that has
a really strong fan base that really love wrestling and even though a lot of
people's frown on it a lot of people love it mm-hmm so it is something I we
wanted to do a backyard wrestling match we wanted to do like a hardcore match
but it just didn't know how hardcore it was gonna go and is that the one that
that's not the one that I see in the documentary though yeah that is okay
because that really yeah that was definitely you could see somebody's
eating Fritos right by the ring that's real shit
it was real I was like a spin on people I hated me but the idea was like if I
could win over this crowd I could win over any wrestling yeah yeah it seemed
like it must have been pretty brave to wander first of all it's scary going in
into somebody else's backyard that's always a scary thing yeah that was
really like okay let's do this I just I just I don't know I equate this whole
film this whole experience to like almost cleaning out your garage or like
any kind of task like that mm-hmm where it seems so big and insurmountable but
then once you get in you just work on one corner then finally you'll clean up
the whole place and that's sort of you just have to keep it keep going like in
wrestling if you hurt your neck don't worry because next week your back is
gonna hurt way worse you know I mean you'll keep trading these injuries all
along the road it just never stops yeah it's almost like you're a voodoo doll
but you keep doing it to yourself in a weird way it's true it's true I was
thinking about doing a little video game of because my son used to play this
video game of a little voodoo doll and I wanted to do one of me where then you
could get anything try to blow me up or hurt me and I just come all back
together like you can't kill David Arquette yeah man that's crazy when
you're doing the when you're doing the documentary so at the beginning you talk
about you won the WCW championship yeah and at that time were you like were you
still like running real hot on the Hollywood stuff where you wanting to try
to do something different you also seem like kind of a loner that kind of likes
to do their own thing and in a way to me was that part of it like if you look
back on like kind of learning about who you are based on some of your life path
and the choices you make dick are you able to like kind of see why you chose
that there do you have any thoughts about that yeah in the movie it like kind of
sets it up like you know screams kind of typecast me as a goofball and doing
wrestling was kind of like bad for my career I don't really agree with that
necessarily that's that my wife kicked me out of the editing room at one point
because I was like no you can't say that that's such a rule you gotta because I
say in one point I haven't you know gotten a job in in ten years like who
goes to yeah who goes to auditions over and over again that hasn't gotten a job
in ten years but what I say right after that is I haven't gotten a job from an
audition in ten years I've worked within that ten years it's just you know
people knowing me or or just word of mouth or whatever so it's a little like
confusing but the you know I've always like made these weird choices you know
I very public with stuff I called it an hour and started that bunch of drunken
conversations and did a bunch of AT&T commercials those are probably the
things that hurt my career more than anything honestly then then the wrestling
film or wrestling in general so I don't really agree with that but my my career
was at a weird place ready to you know when you get up to a certain place where
you're doing your own films it's kind of like if this next one doesn't do great
then you kind of fall back down on this ladder of success but if you can parlay
it and have your films continue to do good or just even make money then it's
you know you can kind of keep going with it but and but haven't any of those
expectations or it's almost unrealistic a lot of it's out of you a lot of it is
out of your control yeah totally unless you do it yourself and that's what I've
sort of learned that's why we did this documentary it's kind of taking control
of your life and your career and just your what you want to put out there yeah
it's what you've done with this this podcast it's that kind of attitude where
you like fuck it I'm gonna you know do what I want structure it the way I want
you know and then that just builds on then you could do other things that you
want different projects start popping up and you start spending your energy on
your own stuff yeah other than waiting around for someone to you know stamp you
cool or not yeah so that's just not the way to go anymore and people can do it
with their phones and learning editing on on their on their phones or on a
computer you know it's wide open now because storytelling is getting better
people are more aware of filmmaking and what it takes to tell a good story so
you can read books on it you can look at YouTube videos to learn things about
lighting like there's all kinds of resources now yeah you know it's funny
when I was watching it one thing I started to realize was because I'd seen
you we just crossed paths at the gym a couple times you know and you were
always playing were you a trainer a racquetball we guys doing I was always
just going I usually play basketball and then do some weights that's usually just
what I do to get some cardio I thought maybe I'm a sweater are you I'm yeah I
sweat too much it's gross dude my legs I'd get these I shouldn't probably say
this but I'll get these India I used to get these erection pills from India right
yeah and they on there they hot legs so sweaty no kidding why did you just get
they're too strong man the American no kidding oh wow god bro I couldn't even
bend my arms I was like a damn gingerbread man but these men they
would pick my leg sweats so bad and mostly on the back of my leg so it's
just oh so I had to keep my back on my body away from a woman during like any
sort of like you know sensual engagement and damn it just broke me man it just
God but they were so cheap and they were they were they would give you kind of a
deep an erection but a soft like a calm like a manageable erection because the
stuff that these selling farm a big farmer that dick that big farmer selling
is too much man it's too heavy yeah but what I was gonna say was when I watch
the documentary one thing I started to do was that I did notice I liked the
story and I liked the references to wrestling you know cuz I like wrestling
myself but a lot I started to care about you though as a person as I'm
watching it you know things I started to get invested in okay obviously I know
who David Arquette is but you know I just started to the scene that really got
me was with seeing when you're doing the the street fighting with the Mexican
guy oh yeah man that was amazing I didn't even know street like wrestling
what's a thing it really put me on your so it put me on your side like in a you
know I'm already on your team as I'm watching it but it put me on your side
is like in a just in like a real human kind of way I feel like so I know you're
not asking about that but I'm just trying to give you just how I felt about
during the documentary thank you now there's some wrestling in our circuit
there's some you know there's some hot air balloons out there and I want you to
take a peek at this guy right here Tom Shagura oh yeah and he had this
wrestling this promo video that came out a while back just about a month ago
oh no I was I meant that they're stupid they're poor they're all beneath me you
know they're losers if they want to come you know maybe clean up my toilet or
whatever I just spit on them while they're doing it give them a taste of the mystique hey
Rick you're so strong you could even withstand the ankle lock oh it's true
it's damn true mission accomplished
you know we always enter the bring together anybody wants to get the turkey
slicer come come at me man mr. Rick you are never down to the count you are the
best there is the best there was and the best ever will be just keep those
jeans high and tight and know that you are the excellence of execution and
everything you do wrestlers yeah it's fake why can't I win a fake fight
sign me up oh man rehearse and I'll whoop your fake at that's a burn me he get
what that's a burn me that part oh yeah did you guys have it out yeah I went
back at him but that just yeah it's fake it's it's not graphed it's organized but
it's not fake at all once you get in the ring you'd be surprised how not fake how
real it is and often like people here waiting kind of teach you a lesson once
in a while because you're bleeding in the documentary yeah that was a death
match though but even the backyard match but you almost see there's always
something it just hurts to take those bumps and I three fractured ribs when I
had to wrestle RJ City and a bunch of stuff oh man it's a good look with you
as a wrestler oh I came back at him this is me coming back and I went more old
school style oh yeah but it I mean obviously it's got no respect for the
business that comes with racking a lot of smack being thrown around by Mr.
Grick saying wrestling is fake what are your thoughts on that oh was it fake when
I nabbed the gab out of that little rush a hunter mr. Michael wrap up was it
fake when I broke the spirit of that little Norwegian smut mannequin mr.
Crystal was that fake Rick was it fake when I put the dirty you nagging on
little Bobby Miyagi was that fake Ricky the only thing not real here is you
brother yeah you little diet denier starch addict gout candidate I bet you
can't even skate board that was a personal like that's a choice for the
fan I had to get a man I had to go get a man so we can I came right back at him
because that's the part that hit me I think there's a certain element of
people out there that don't understand when they call it fake how it hits some
people yeah that's for sure where does that hit you when they call it fake oh
man you just don't understand how real it is until you get in there it really is
like it's getting crazier and crazier I'm not that it's there's a there's a real
beauty like I wrestle cold cabana it's one of my favorite matches and eats and
page these guys are super pro so even though they're making it real it's it
still isn't as painful as some of those other lessons people teach you you think
you could beat the fat guy that was in the beginning of this to grow yeah you
think he has what it takes actually once it gets once he gets into the ring do
you think he could I mean has he trained probably that's the thing like no one
we're going on a very short limb and say no he is not well then it's just it's
kind of like something you usually shouldn't do like unless somebody's
really so train it because every wrestling match is as good as the most
experienced person in there you know or the most you know like the most trained
you know they don't have to have the most experience but someone who really
gets it can make you look good one of my best matches was with Jack Perry and
jungle boy a W and he's just so talented that he made for him Nick made me look
like I could do things that nobody had ever I'd never tried before a Canadian
destroyer and the only reason it works so well is because he's so great at it I
mean it's certain things are not really supposed to talk about or whatever but
right but he's super talented wrestler he's Luke Perry son oh is it really yeah
god dang he's damn beautiful dude yeah he's great he's a movie star this kid
he's never smoked never drank got a great head on his shoulder he's tough as nails
he's better looking about easily 60% of the women I've dated even the guy
above him right there yeah Luchasaurus he's amazing wrestler wow he's good you know I don't know 6 8 6 10
so you really have a love for this whole world I guess that's something when I
got as I'm going through you cannot kill David Arquette that I'm like okay is
this love is this a real passion that he has for this yeah I love wrestling I've
always loved wrestling just sort of I've always loved it as a fan yeah kind of
like and then when the championship thing came I was promoting ready to rumble
they said well put the belt on you if you can stay till the next pay-per-view I
thought it was a terrible idea but I'm now a state page broke it down he's like
listen boy you don't have to do it if you don't do it then the promotion ready
rumbles over the whole ready to rumble things over you won't be wrestling with
us but if you do you'll stay with us you'll travel with us you go you know do
a pay-per-view that's kind of what I really wanted I thought it would be
really fun and I thought it'd be taken more as a funny storyline rather than
something so serious and kind of devalued the belt which I understand now
what was more do you feel like it was more devaluing the fans that were
saying this is you know using a guy from Hollywood if you will or critics that
were saying this is not what somebody like David Arquette should be doing yeah
I mean I think part of it was I was an actor I was smaller than most of the
wrestlers back in that time period since then you've had smaller champions like
Daniel Bryan and Mike Miss Annan yeah well I forgot Seth Rollins sort of some
some guys so Ray Mysterio's like kind of yeah yeah I don't know it was just
sort of that I was an actor and I wasn't trained and it they just didn't accept it
as like this in funny thing and then the guys like Booker T had never been the
champion or Scott Steiner so I was a I asked Booker T in the locker room I said
how many times have you been the champ Booker and he's like never I was like oh
shit so then when I went out next I I went off script and I said I don't deserve
to be the champ Booker T deserves to be champ and he was the champ a few like
two you know the belt went to Jeff Jared and then I think it went to Booker after
that so not that I had anything to do with it but it's good to plant those
seeds yeah did you um so did it get weird because then after you get the
strap you did you start to feel ashamed of having it are you like holy shit you
go from excitement to then all of a sudden I still have this thing and I have
to carry it you have to carry it yeah I'm everywhere through airports every day
you can't lose it or leave it in your car you can't leave it in your hotel like
a baby in Georgia yeah you have to carry it every heavy you're responsible for it
and they're heavy and they're heavy yeah I just didn't know what the heck I was
really doing nobody told me like really how to wrestle how to do anything like I
just show up and they'd say okay you could sometimes they'd hand you like
literally pages a dialogue like I'm supposed to memorize this this is more
it's way harder than people think like cutting a promo all that kind of stuff
and a lot of it's has to do with the thing people say that it's not real or
something right when people cut good promos they're real like you have to
find a place inside yourself that you feel this you can convey that you're
angry at this person you do the things that you do in an acting set where
you're like when you have to do something emotional where you kind of go
through in your head all of these really painful times in your lives and you get
to a place where those emotions are like kind of right there and you have to do
that with wrestling too you know you have to make wrestling real for you for
what you're doing for what you're conveying like that's where wrestling is
entirely real and and then there's the level of like people's personal lives
what's going on how they feel about you or how they feel about their own lives
I mean a lot of people are when you're real pro you can separate stuff like that
but some people coming up don't some people get overly excited you know and
and then me being a beginner it's mostly me that's getting like you know a head
of things or like you know not you know you've learned in wrestling to really
slow down time just kind of like you know allow moments to happen and get
hit and like really react to it and look at you know a fan just to make a
connection right there it's like he's not gonna do this to me you know you just
make it real and then it becomes real when you can make wrestling really feel
and you the audience you can capture them then they're they're like like while
the match is going like oh he almost made it and then you got him on the hook
you know and then you just have to kind of reel him in best way to reel him in
is like do a few like things that they don't either don't see coming or a
quick turnaround and then boom you know some big thing that makes them cheer and
then you know you either get him to like the three counter or you kick out yeah
but it's you should always end on the sort of your biggest pop of the of the
performance it sounded like he was describing stand-up no shit I think
there's a lot of stuff like I'm sorry no that was it there's like that's a
really good point I was trying to think of some of correlation and oddly but
yeah I guess and you're taking me back now too also to just being a fan I
remember man when that guy would crawl over and get on top of the other guy and
finally it's like good is gonna beat evil and everything is gonna be okay in
the world and the and then you're like this ref has like a rotator cuff
injury and he can barely get his arm to go down and he gets stalled at the top
and you have to some other ref has to come in and push his arm down but it's
just like life it's like things just sometimes get so close and then there's
just these chops and these ups and downs and oh man yeah that's when it's
beautiful that's when that's not fake man yeah and when you typically work with
veterans they know how to construct matches words like half the time I
didn't even know like what was going on like why are they putting that here I
don't understand why would I but then you see it all together and you start
figuring out and then once you get used to it then you're good then you can

almost a Greek art to it or something absolutely there is it it really is good
against evil I mean that's what's happening like in the world right now
it it really is becoming a wrestling match oh you know we've got heels and
faces good guys and bad guys everybody I mean everything his turn we've been
saying this for years that ever it's all turning into the WWE yeah everybody's
cutting promos it's just like everybody's cutting promos everybody's
driving for uber it's just getting insane no remember like when politicians
they used to be like in a place somewhere like debating against each other
now they're all just cutting promos on fucking Twitter I know the whole view
it's on Twitter thing it's just crazy and like everyone and politics and
everything and just a bunch of wrestlers going nuts it's everything man I
remember one of the most beautiful things I ever saw though I was at the I was
at the wrestling and they had a Mexican gentleman a man I think he was a man him
and his son were the same exact height so who knows how old either one of them
was you know but they were both wearing a championship belt and when the rock
came back it was the night that the rock came back this about eight years ago I
think or maybe wow and when he came back they both started bawling crying
together like just standing there I love it was just man it was that's real the
night was great but that was probably the best thing that I saw yeah I love
that that's that's the best part just that humanity and the love for and it's
it's because he took his son but his dad probably took him and then you know his
dad probably took his father you know that's what it is it's like some of
these moments are just part of our history yeah that's what it upset me so
much like I love wrestling I didn't want to be excluded from it or go with my
wife and then have people like yelling at me I was just sick of it so I wanted
to do something about it so it's also like everybody's got that feeling of
like something they dream of doing you know we all wanted to tap into all that
like you know not letting people bully you like you know going after your dreams
like never giving up like giving something everything you got and we
didn't know where it would go if it would you know if it would go to one of
the bigger places or something but it worked out that it was this perfect
kind of full circle moment you mean this documentary yeah the nasty boys just
kind of like getting my back and accepting me as one of the guys yeah yeah
because it's interesting because I didn't even know today whenever we were
coming in here I didn't I didn't know I didn't know if I should ask you in
advance like how serious is this is this like you know just I don't want to say a
spoof but now it's it definitely gives it more depth to me knowing how you feel
about it you know yeah and also one thing it's really cool is that you got to be
you've gotten to be a Hollywood star I mean you've gotten to the fruits of that
stardom are really I mean it's it's sketchy and I don't even know if there's
that big if there's that big of stardom these days there's a few people but the
the idea of like like stardom forever is very hard to have I feel like yeah like
at a level of like you know sometimes we think about guys yeah I mean there's like
eight or ten guys you know it's so they're really selective I mean they have
the not the luxury but they have the patience to be like able and just have
it in themselves to really wait for the right project you know get the right
directors and producers attached make sure that that's the character that they
want to play but they also have the luxury of maybe not working for a year
or two right I always I grew up with a father was working character actor who
so I think it like got into me that it's like I'm a working actor like I need to
work so yeah I'll do things that you know you know on paper people say like
why are you doing this kid's show you know just for for whatever reason but
it's it's all directly connected to just working having a job going and doing
work like I'm not comfortable sitting around all the time yeah I think you have
to give up but you also it feels like you have to give up some of you have to
give up some of what you want in Hollywood it seems like at certain points
you know like like I got offered some things in the past year and there was
this animated project I got offered to be on this show called hoops that just
came out on Netflix and it just didn't I kind of wanted to do my own animation
thing and I didn't and I just wasn't sure and so you know I had to say that it
wasn't for me even though it would have been probably fun and neat and I had to
see it come out and be a little disappointed but then I also just had
to remember it myself because I'll just immediately start feeling bad like oh man
I wasn't in it and but I don't mind my brain doesn't want to remember nine
months ago when I was like I just don't think I tried to make a choice for myself
you know it's hard to do those choices it's hard unlike to my detriment a few
times they not wanted to do something that turned out to be really great and
really great group of people doing it sorry I'm burping all day it's okay these
mics don't pick that up but that's diet soda man I remember when I would see
people drink diet sodas when I was young I thought they were old that's what
starts to scare me dude I know man I'm much older than you so it's like it's
really funny when you start looking back it's real like real it's really how
crazy is how much older you get once you hit like 39 or 40 yeah there's that
39 to 40 39 to 50 is like a whole thing there are really cool things that
happened to you start like not caring nearly as much about stuff oh that's
nice yeah it's really nice not getting like you start realizing where your
anger comes from like it's like oh you start feeling you can control it more
uh-huh and it's not like crippling like sometimes it feels like oh yeah man I
would like to have that less stress dude I used to get especially over women bro
here's the crazy thing if you want a date a girl now and say she's younger than
you it's so hard because you can't talk about any music oh yeah you say like oh
do you listen to it a second you can have a do that since you're like fuck if I
name a band that is like 15 years old right now I don't know that whole that
whole world is yeah you like the black crows and you're like oh I don't you
know I don't know like what are they at the San Diego zoo she's like are they
endangered it's just it's so sketchy bro trying to like trying to keep up with
the Joneses of youth is is impossible yeah it is it gets real sketchy and it
also is like I don't know you can meet the right people but you know it's a lot
of the time just pretty empty feeling you know what I equate a lot of that stuff
to this buddy on everyone's doing zooms now and at the end of a zoom call it's
always like let's get to leave the meeting thing it's always like it's
almost like you're done fucking you're like this feeling of like here's my real
face that's a good point here's my real face and no one can ever find it it's
like all right I love you and it's just well I have those moments I've learned
how to sit in them a little more the uncomfortable most I did a show called
Carter but it came out apparently with Jerry O'Connell who's a really man yeah
he's so talented here he's hilarious he has the best stories bro he's the best
stories he's just such a funny guy so we're sitting we had a blast we were
just joking the whole time but I went up to Canada to do show Carter and then
uh he was like if something happened on the set and people were getting a little
upset and he's like oh yeah yeah yeah I was like I was licked it was like what's
up it's like I think they're getting a little argument or something I was like
yeah they're in an argument why are you getting all jacked up about it he just
loved the fact that there was conflict and I was like oh wow that's such like
an interesting response because my past response just from being from a kid from
a chaotic like childhood or whatever I'd get like super like like I don't know
embarrassed or something or like yeah I'd be all feel like oh you know why are
they fighting of that whole thing and I it's like such a kid response to it yeah
now when you're able to kind of like not take it personally or it doesn't
involve you and you know they're having a conflict you know you don't have to
solve it yeah you can kind of sit back and I could see how I don't know if I
could ever enjoy it but I could see how he could be relaxed about it Jerry's
Mickey has he's eating popcorn as you look over he's having a love in it
dude he's so talented man he has this story about growing up in he grew up in
New York during the AIDS epidemic or pandemic and he has this wild story
about how half of the people in his building when he was a kid died and just
how like every couple of weeks he'd come home and another neighbor would have
died and just um man it's just fascinating and he's such a gripping when
you you know why he's a good actor because when you were talking to him it
is like you are in just an elevator into like another like a elevator that goes
forward right into his damn soul yeah he's one of a kind dude that's fun man
yeah when I was yeah there he is right there with a guy with Brendan Shaw right
there and he's a guy but uh dude it's so funny when I was young I used to feel so
much like I'm responsible for everything like no matter like I would feel so much
shame like I feel so ashamed of everything that happened like if like one
of my family members did something and they was all for something I would feel
like it always like reflected on me like every yeah I was just ashamed of
everything I know that's a yeah it's super sucks I used to have this thing
where I've I like discovered I was kind of a shame addict I was like an addicted
to the feeling of like putting myself in a position where it was like either
shameful or like and I didn't want to but I kept putting it like calling into
Howard Stern and then having to like apologize to be or even maybe like what
I just did with talking about Alyssa or whatever just not meaning to you but it
might be a something in me that why do I talk about somebody you know what I
mean I don't know what it is is she gonna get mad I don't know not that I did
it for any reason but I don't know why my brain would do it sometimes right
where I get into this thing just to be humiliated or something which is a
terrible thing to do it's like really painful place to be but dude sometimes
it's so funny I would love like I remember one time inviting I had two
girlfriends right and a huge rarity in my life and I invited them both to a bar
right gosh and I knew it was gonna make me feel I some people think oh this
gonna be fun cat fight these girls gonna go at it I just knew in hindsight
looking back I'm gonna feel so fucking bad because I care about both these
girls both of them care about me and both everybody's gonna get their heart
broken right now and I was just like let's do it yeah but looking back like
yeah it's like man yeah I wonder if there's ways where my brain leads me
into places to really feel not great about stuff you know without just because
of old patterns yeah I do things to blow shit up a lot that seems sounds kind of
like that where you do something like with a specific intention of just
blowing all the fucking shit like fuck it you know go punk rock there's always
been a little bit of a punk rock vibe I do that with work sometimes man even work
stuff yeah you know like cuz I found in the past two years like I like to I
don't I really didn't like in some ways working with others in some ways I
didn't realize it yeah I just always kind of done things by myself and so I
didn't realize until we had to start to work with others a little more that I
have to I don't know it's not a reflection of me it's just a group thing
and but man I would I had such a just a visceral reaction to it man yeah so I
would you know I'd always I don't know I'd get up in the middle of the night and
fucking rattle off an email that's like oh this is like a bomb yeah yeah so that
three hours later when everybody wakes up I know I did that stuff too oh it's
painful you like a lot of the time you and especially sometimes you're
working with the kind of people that do it where they create issues and like
problems where there are none just to like have a problem yeah and then you
have to deal with the problem I don't know yeah I'm like the David Blaine of
complete fucking bullshit like guess what did I fucking bullshit did you ever
because you talk a little bit about addiction and think do you talk about
that kind of stuff yeah I mean I've had my battles with it so I've been like on
this roller coaster yeah it's a tough ride kind of it's a really tough ride but
it's a fun ride though too I think it is I mean it's fun when you learn like I
don't know how not to do it I mean it's just beating yourself up my addings
just like literally like in my wife asked me do you just want to kill
yourself it's like no but there's something inside me that's trying to kill
me absolutely has no problem with it you know I mean so you have to like but
then also like just not wanting to go there right my personal life like they
got I don't know I like when I first sort of fell off the rails it was kind of
public I was like calling now we're starting all the shit and I don't remember
any that I don't I don't even know about anything oh thank God yeah oh yeah it's
just like completely like like regurgitating my life you know and just
like oh yeah but we do that here yeah yeah you do that but it's your own place
and it's right like you know you're also not fucked up doing it yeah yeah I
would do that dude I had a night was so I ended up on the Opie and Jim Norton
they used to have a show yeah Opie and this was after Opie and Anthony in
Sirius it was across from Howard and a lot of times people would do the loop
up there and they'd be going right so I ended up one night all cocaine all night
driving a taxi the taxi drivers in the back he's in the taxi right wow long
night dude great time yeah get to the radio station I have to be on air at 6
a.m. bro can't even I mean can't even feel my fucking face bro with either hand
I tried both hands right at first I thought oh something's wrong with this
hand you know and then I tried feeling my face with this hand and I knew my
something on my face and a Daryl strawberries the other gas oh my gosh
and you good he could help you through yeah anybody can help me through it but
man I'm just a little bend game put it behind your ear you'll get your feeling
back there I am right there I blasted out of my brain oh my gosh dude I had done
enough cocaine a frickin take Daryl strawberry to extra innings bro no doubt
no kidding see grinding away to oh man I lost a half inch in my mouth that day
I know it's such a big cocaine's a little worse yeah it's the worst really is
just I'd say it turns men into mice yeah and it's fun though that's the thing
they put a little bit of fun in it yeah I mean it's fun it's just so vapid the
fun yeah it's also like hot air yeah not there's so many better ways to do it
but it just takes much a lot more work you know you just have to work to get
those highs mm-hmm but it just takes the work to get there and then it's like the
culmination of all the work and then you have that fun time and then even the
process of doing this stuff can be fun too yeah where you can get that life high
yeah yeah yeah no there's definitely a lot I mean there's things I like now
about definitely waking up and being able to handle my day oh hell yeah and
like open my eyes up have those little moments I'm sure it is with family and
stuff too especially yeah and the more responsibilities I get in my mouth in my
life the less I found myself wanting to do stuff like that you know yeah but so
with the so are you with the documentary I don't know if I didn't watch
because I just don't know how much like you want to share about like give it are
you making a push now to get more to get more interesting yeah I don't know I
might wrestle more I did it mainly for this documentary so I kind of did what
I set out to do right if we wrestle some more I mean I love the world you know I
look I like wrestling with RJ City as my tag team partner so I don't know if I
want to do it without like a tag team partner it's a I always got in trouble
without a tag team partner yeah yeah unless it was with the pro like
coca-cabana or something and here's a guy right here he's probably alone what
deal what's up David Seth from Kentucky here and my question for David is who
has more fun in the wrestling community heels or faces you know do you get to
have more fun being that bad guy or do you have more fun being the face of it
all gang gang gang that's a good question yeah it is a good question the
heels definitely have more fun within it like it's just you know heels represent
like being chicken shits being like backstabbers having no spine you can just
say the worst things you can just do all this stuff you can just when you come
from a place of that it's weird when people get mixed up like some people
get mixed up like they might be the heel but they want to be tough in the
match too mm-hmm and it doesn't work as well if you're like it the audience gets
more invested if you cheat to like hurt them or you do something like so if you
do a heel behavior yeah gonna be a heel be a heel yeah yeah exactly so yeah and
then really be a heel so much so is like being chicken about stuff or cheating to
win or like all that kind of stuff it happens a lot man it's really just a
reflection of life you know yeah it's just such a right it's such a like
whatever I think it's called a Greek play or something where they do plays and
it's you know in Greece or something and they you know it's like good and evil
you know it's just like that man yeah for sure but I would love to see you beat
the shit out of a mystic Rick though yeah yeah dude you guys have a little like
a little promotion or something is it does he have a belt or the deal called
him out and he never responded oh really reckon called him out and he never
responded man we had a belt that started years ago when they have a podcast
called the fighter in the kid yeah and they had a vote on their podcast for
best guest or one of the best guests in the year and that guy got a belt so once
the belt came into it came that's the origin story the belt and then you know
we started taking on different characters and you know just you know I
kind of like most of our fan base is really a bunch of rats you know not
bad rats but just like underdogs you know yeah yeah cheese hunters you know so
yeah I feel it what else do you want to talk about you think did you ever do
any jail time no I never had a mug shot I've been pretty careful about certain
things I've been wild but you give a wreck a car really really no I never drove
always I mean I've driven once in a while but I avoided it all very yeah yeah
that's one of the main things that's really good then yeah yeah I never wanted
to get a situation where I hurt anybody yeah do you think um do you think that
um yeah I just wonder if I could handle one of those prisons or not you know you
think you'd be good in prison I don't know man I would hate to have to have to
deal with it but you know we did a documentary called survivors guide to
prison mm-hmm which was really cool we produced it with Danny Trejo was a Matthew
Cook film it was really great my wife really produced it but that taught us a
lot about the prison system you know you know how corrupted it is and how it
needs to be changed but actually being in there that would be something else I
mean I I taught a acting class at San Quentin a couple times yeah yeah yeah
some good actors in there it was cool it was it was weird I didn't do this
improvisational game called animal transformation where you pick an animal
and then you transform it into like all right let's put you know your giraffe
and your run rhinoceros yeah I was about to say Ryan Reynolds
but you bring them up to like human form but still maintain the characteristics
so like this dude would be up you know like a rhino or whatever and there goes
up to the giraffe but it was like kind of aggressive because rhinos seem
aggressive and then the guard was like stop stop stop you gotta stop and he
explained to me like they could get into this little acting thing right here but
then they could go out and like getting a huge fight on the yard if if like someone
disrespects each other and there's like all this code and all this stuff so I'd
hate to have to learn that stuff but you know I get by but do you think when you
think about prison like do you think what parts of prison you think you would
enjoy I don't know man like you like a small room I like a small room I like
characters so I'm sure there'd be some characters in there that I gotta hit it
I like the kind of joking that happens in places like that or at school or like
you know places where people are all hanging out and kind of not bored but
have time on their hands or it's just like hanging out with your homies like
yeah you know when you're growing up the guys you grew up with the way you can
joke with them it's like you know a great feeling yeah why do we lose that as we
get older at this I mean that disappears doesn't it in a lot of ways it does you
have to kind of stick with those guys you have you when you go back home you
probably have friends like that right yeah I'm on a couple text chains like
that but you never can really replicate that just that childhoodness of it where
somebody doesn't have to now people have responsibilities and somebody you know
yeah they were somebody money or there's some bullshit or something yeah
totally but I love Brody that's yeah man one of a kind he just had a birthday
the other day really yeah he's awesome I knew him for a while we hired him on a
show called midnightly news to form up the audience like back in shit back in
the 90s or something did you hear he one thing that I loved about him was his I
think he just always had this ability like to make you feel kind of he was
such a loner almost he was such like a scared dude but he always would like
really kind of go out of his way to kind of make you feel included you know man
talk about being a loving person but finding it really hard I feel like to
express how your love in like normal ways and stuff yeah totally he was a warrior
man I can't I still cannot believe that it that suicide it's just crazy how it
just sneaks in yeah like in an instant almost yeah it's sad and people can't do
it anymore yeah but I also get it sometimes man I get it but there's
like you have to fight through these the hard times because there is beauty on
the other side yeah this is really dark time right now just in general a lot of
people are scared a lot of people are losing loved ones and you don't know
where there's you know other bills are gonna get paid from so it's really
scary at this time but you have to know that it we will make it through this yeah
and we will have your fun on the other side and there's little things that come
like as you get older that are really beautiful little things and it's just
literally like catching you know tadpoles with your kids or like the wind on
your hair like you know you get appreciation for certain things getting
a snack anything I know when you can really like sit there like oh this is
great taste great like yeah you're like in a place where you're like you're
taking a moment to appreciate the grape yeah it's like oh this is different
because you're not like as wound up about the world yeah man it's tough dude I
made a gratitude list this morning I'm trying to get back more in a gratitude
you know just be thankful for the little things that's the best that's such a key
it gets so tricky yeah I think so yeah I feel like so yeah after watching the
doc I felt like it was it's really kind of a I guess it really does kind of
stand as a story of like setting a goal and kind of do you feel like it's getting
a monkey off your back a little bit I mean it definitely you know what the
thing I learned was that it was me like I had this one therapy session with my
therapist and I was like talking about my mom and dad and how heavy like their
marriage or relationship was and then I was like wait they're both dead it's
like literally this heaviness is just inside me and they're gone so like the
work to live for that was really helpful you're like David Duchovny but I feel
like the X files are on the inside we all have to figure out all this stuff
going on inside it's so crazy bro how much crazy baggage we carry man I know
man yeah and then I will swim in it I will make a fucking swimming pool out of
my baggage and then dive right yeah I know when there's tons of other things to
go do like hey come get on this waterslide come get on this fairs well
like I just made this amazing swimming pool with all my own bullshit yeah let's
just go in there for a while oh it gets to me after a while what else we got Nick
we had a written question that came in it said when will we see Chuck Hank in
the San Diego Twins you're telling me this is a movie I did like eight years
ago and it still hasn't come out I just have no idea it was so I was so
impressed by this group of filmmakers cuz they all had cameras they're all
shooting I was like you have like eight cameras like nobody has eight cameras
unless you're doing a sitcom and then so they're shooting it and they're like
having all these angles they're all filmmakers they're all editors and then
the movie disappears for years there's rumor that it's still gonna be done but
I just don't know what cause what causes that kind of stuff when something
disappears what cause that could have been any kind of things usually like
there's a falling out between the filmmakers and then one person's either
in charge of it and then just doesn't like complete it or there's just tied
up so they're sort of push-pulling I don't know there's all kinds of things
yeah what about you what are you interested in doing like I think about
getting a I'm thinking about getting a dang dog recently yeah man that's a
real that's a beautiful thing have you had one before oh no kidding like you
know what kind of dog you've been looking I think like a one like a everybody's kind
of has like a labradoodle right now yeah so I've been thinking about that kind
of I feel like they have nice like kind of eyebrows kind of but yeah but you
need a bigger dog for any reason I don't really I was thinking also a black
lab then I also a friend of mine has a doxin weiner dog yeah man he was nice
yeah dogs are the differences big dogs are dope because they're big dogs and
like they're I don't know but little dogs are amazing too I've had both little
dogs are just fun because for someone like you you can almost bring them
anywhere yeah and then you become the guy with the dog but that's the whole
thing but if you love this dog he's really easy and he can be here in like
it might be like fun for you yeah bigger dogs are harder to bring like
they're harder to bring on trips they're just harder to manage but they're
incredible I don't we have four basset hounds which is oh they're big that's
like a rich old-looking dog they're big dogs them like medium-sized dogs but
they got little dog legs so short to the ground oh basset hounds have the long
with the long ears yeah yeah yeah yeah those are fun dogs oh yeah those are
good southern dogs too yeah I wouldn't mind I'm trying to think of baby what to
get I don't know I went to I went to a man's house yesterday and he had two
bunnies too yeah that's cool but that's a big responsibility is that what you're
kind of like yeah I'm thinking about that you know now there you go right
there that's beautiful yeah oh look that undercarriage I think that's some real
meat on them yeah they have rolls of skin when they're real basset hounds but
they're pretty well behaved yeah I mean some of like they're all individuals so
some of them are better behaved than others I mean they all have their own
personalities but you know they howl and bark a lot these guys so some of them
don't as much but that's just something to think about if you're you have to
leave them in your apartment or house for a little while yeah I'm not barking
can be a whole thing or like get babysitters or yeah that's what I would
think maybe get in a frame with the yard or something yeah but yeah what else I
don't know I want to check some Brazilian jiu-jitsu actually yeah man
that's amazing do you have a guy I don't have a guy but we have a guy
Eddie Bravo that trains people you did oh that's dope he's dope but we don't know
but I don't know I train with Higgin Machado during this whole thing oh he's
amazing bro so you've taken it yeah you enjoy it just not like right belts or
anything but just for exercising hell yes it's important to learn that shit
yeah that's what I want to learn just I think like kind of working on that
confidence that inner confidence of just you know feeling a little more
comfortable yes that's what any of that stuff will do for you like I I it's
funny that I got a brown belt in Yoshikai karate but it was I never got a
black belt and like one more thing that my sensei moved to Florida so I'm like
stuck with the brown belt but it's kind of perfect but what it does teach you
like once you get into it and you're like training a lot and doing it as an
exercise and stuff like your balance and everything you're like you learn all
this kind of like little ancient tricks with life that are just like really kind
of cool when you learn all the like katas and all the stuff it'll just
prepare you for kind of stuff like that and then jiu-jitsu is a whole other
beast which is amazing it's so fucking cool yeah it seems cool I just always
have this dream like I'm somewhere you know I'm at a subway or something I
didn't want to go but somebody took me you know because I don't like it but and
then somebody like some guys like hey you know what the fuck is wrong with you
you know and I'll be like that you know and then next thing you know I have to
fucking defend myself dude first of all man I don't really probably want to be
in a fight second of all I do not want to fight in a subway bro you know what
I'm saying like at least beat my ass out of five guys you know so but I want to
be able to at least like know that if something happens like I don't have to
feel like I don't have a chance you know yeah that's I feel like that when I was
young that's always the feeling that I had man every kid was like tougher than
me I felt like it so I know that feeling I was like I don't have a chance dude I'm
gonna go hide in this tree or I do something fucking gig but make a kite
or something like wouldn't the fuck is wrong with this kid you know yeah
nowadays you have to be careful fighting just cuz some people like a lot of
people do know that kind of stuff and oh yeah everything going on Henry so who
don't you know if you saw Henry say who though somewhere regularly you'd beat
him with a stick probably no candy come out bring a picture of him but he is a
legend you know yeah I mean he's you know is he undefeated no he lost to
Demetrius once and then he I think that might be his only lost he beat Demetrius
the second time but even if you just get a picture of him Nick that's him right
there I was trying to get him like one where he's not or how tall he is I mean
I think he's five two oh yeah but he's the I mean he won three belts I think oh
man that's tough that's tough yeah there he is compared to some other guys some
white no kid yeah that's actually the big show big shows on these seven feet
have you ever been slammed by any of those real big guys you bully Ray slam
me through a table hell yeah put my hips out yeah that's what my back like
what would happen with me it's like either my neck or my back would go out
constantly so then I'd just be jacked up for the next week or so it sucks oh it's
so brutal support and would you get those shots would you get some shots to
help it no I wish like they probably have that stuff at WWE but then the
independent circuit they don't even have that ambulance they hopefully will have
like a first aid kit well yeah on the independent circuit man I were growing up
they had some dudes bus fighting man it would be people in their backyard and
this is before people need a videotape if people would draw a picture of it and
show it you know this is back and fun and people would just put a bunch of
picnic table I mean it was choppy it was just extremely dangerous too but you
know people step dad's and family disputes one man threw another man into a
damn ditch fire by us one time pretty cool man oh yeah fires intense what else
we got Nick I had a question about like the independent wrestling circus is it
still like kind of the Wild Wild West with like some of the performance
enhancers because I watched ready to rumble last night just because of this
and mr. perfect Kurt Henning macho man and then I don't think me and Jean was
out of anything but all three of those guys have passed away and it's like it
seems like there's not wrestlers that get over like 60 or whatever and you keep
hearing Bob dying is it still like kind of that unhealthy well obviously it's bad
for your body too but yeah I feel like the steroids back in the day definitely
played part for sure I don't know like how many like house prevalent steroids
are I think when John Cena came up it was like real like from that point on
there was real more of a focus on body and like strength training and working
out also some of the guys kind of the stature guys kind of fell down so it's
not as like big giant but there's a few guys that are really super buff and I
don't know if they take anything or not I never did I just I always like the
kind of body that like a Bruce Lee has where it's more ripped than anything you
know what I mean and if you can lose enough weight you got muscles under
there so once you lose the fat it kind of looks bigger anyway yeah and then you
learn little things like you know eating protein right you know right after you
within the first half hour of doing weight helps a lot to build muscle but
yeah he's like the baddest and he's not like huge but he's did you ever meet
him no I never got to meet him but we were huge fans growing up and I met his
daughter who was really nice really was he hot beautiful she's just sweet just
yeah she was just like has like a cool like air to earn you can tell you got
to be can you imagine being Bruce Lee's daughter and you're just fucking you
know a dick I mean there's some people that just get caught up with this whole
world I know I know I bet especially in the world that you've seen man really
being in the Hollywood it gets really kind of vapid out there yeah it does I
mean there's a lot of shit that happens I've been in the business 30 years so
that's crazy yeah I mean how old are you I'm 40 years old oh yeah you see me so
young so I'm getting older man I'm an adult now and 40 it's a cool it's a
cool way so it's when stuff starts not you'll get you figure your world out
yeah I like the idea of stuff not having being so straight like you know not
being so serious yeah I think that battle always that'll go on forever I
mean especially just dogs and kids and all that stuff if you want to have them
there's just there's a lot of shit that comes with them but then there's also
like the most silliest stuff you'll ever do you know I mean which is then
becomes the funnest stuff you'll ever experience yeah when you look back on on
being on being a wrestling champion do you look back on it fondly yeah I mean
I'm just to be part of this world the world that I always loved I look at that
fondly you know you know and with all my griping about stuff it's you know it's
wrestling so I use it all in the movie yeah I mean I mean I'm a fan of Eddie
Kaufman's that's part of this whole thing you know what I mean it's just part
of what are the things that I love right so it's like I I do look at it fondly I
mean especially with sort of coming back in and like who knows if this is the
end of it you know who knows if there will be some other kind of wrestling
adventures yeah what do you see do you are there other I mean do you still have
a lot of stuff obviously you want to get into stuff that you can make more that's
your own yeah do you feel like get yourself getting more motivated towards
that kind of yeah for sure I mean that's what I do with my spare time in
between waiting for something or auditioning for something just sort of
yeah work on projects that I believe in and have you done any movies in space
man I could really see you in space I would love to love that I mean how cool
how cool would be to be like the first film shot in space that would be the
baddest yeah I think it would be I mean I don't know space we keep going to see
shitholes man Mars the moon like he's like I'm no fucking I'm no real estate
agent well these I don't know why the moon they don't already have like a
Disney world up there I know nobody would like it be upsetting yeah some
people but I think it'd be amazing oh I think something small you could stop in
at least a rest area you know but yeah it seems like we keep going to these
shitholes bro Mars is a let's be honest bro places a shithole I'm not a real
estate agent but every picture you see it's like this place is garbage dude
there's fire everywhere there's no place you can even fucking you can't even
you couldn't even have an outdoors it's just I don't know Palm Springs yeah it's
like they can build it up it's like Palm Springs dirty grandfather yeah you know
it's just like why don't we let's find a decent planet or quit fucking around man
you know spend the money send a shuttle in the fucking Zaire and let's fucking
the habitat over there you know like I just feel like if we need to work more
locally look at this and you got dumb chicks and dudes and chudes out there
sitting around saying oh man think we'll ever live on Mars like idiots at a
fucking bar somewhere you know you got one-third of the BW Buffalo Wild Wings
population sitting there four beers deep man wonderful ever live on Mars you
know place a shithole man sorry I just know Mars yeah anybody's gonna be here
when I felt like this but it's just kind of just making me mad man we just got
bigger fish to fry dude but I want to see some more of these promos I want to
see more of these wrestlers cut promos I want to see more politicians cut promos
yeah dude I'm telling you one politician puts out a dope-ass wrestling
promo I feel like it they would get all the votes they would get a lot of votes
I had one friend who was voted for Trump because he he provided you know
WrestleMania at his casinos I was like you can't vote for him for that reason
though you just can't not for that reason dude it's crazy I mean he the whole
world is so crazy his wife looked Melania looks hot though I gotta say
that man yeah you know people act like she's not hot like yeah I'll pretend a
lot of stuff but I'm not gonna pretend that yeah I can imagine I mean you have
to have people have to present you a lot of times the projects where they're
like you would be perfect for this huh was there a point where you didn't want
to really do some of that stuff no not really I mean when you get hot you get
like a lot of offers so then it's like you have to kind of sift through the
right and the good stuff but when you're not you just kind of like are trying to
find good projects to work on yeah that's typically low budget things that you
don't get paid for you never know how they're really gonna turn out if they
ever come out at all yeah yeah I've been offered a couple of real wild animals
man but yeah I don't know man we'll see you know yeah I would love to do
something where you know a friend of mine a black friend of mine said that
black people and aliens don't get along well or there's beef there's a new
there's or there's like beef in that community and so I'm like yeah so I'm
like wondering how do we get that film you know I'll be like some guy just like
you know some guy that works for the United Nations or whatever but I'm just
thinking how do we get to see that you know cuz I'm ready to see that that's
good you know I get a treatment of outline than a script yeah brothers versus
aliens dude I'm ready there's no way I wouldn't watch that so all right well
David I appreciate you coming in man yeah your comedy and appreciate you well
I definitely remember like the day that you said hey to me at the gym and made
me feel really good I remember telling one of my friends like dude I got to
meet David Arquette today was awesome but yeah I was happy to watch the
documentary man I'll watch the end now that I know it's safe to and and you
guys love to check out you cannot kill David Arquette thank you so much and
just stay alive I guess right and we'll see a sequel that's it I'll be alive I
can't I'm just falling on the breeze and I feel I'm falling like these leaves I must be cornerstone but when I reach that ground I'll share this piece of mind I found I can feel it in my bones but it's gonna take a little time for me to
set that parking brake and left myself on my I'll sit and tell you
and I've been moving way too fast on the runaway train with a heavy load of my
past and these wheels that I've been riding on they want something that they're
damn they're gone now cuz now they just won't be able to
