Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm like trying to visualize your weekend. Friday, American Gladiators will premiere on Amazon Prime. And then you can watch me on USA Network's SmackDown. And then right after Smackdown, I'll be hosting the Hall of Fame ceremony. And then Saturday, I will have WrestleMania. And Sunday, I will have WrestleMania. And I have a bunch of stuff that I have to do at WrestleMania that people don't know about yet. But we always like to sneak things in.
Starting point is 00:00:30 All right, welcome to another episode of throwbacks. I'm a little distracted right now. My partner, he brought, you know what time it is. He brought illegal firearms to the show today. What is that? The play, what shirt is that? Well, dude, well, in honor of our guests, this is the only semi-wrestling shirt that I own. And the story behind this is we had Stone Cold Steve Austin on Big Noon kickoff years ago when we were in studio.
Starting point is 00:01:12 I think he did a Zoom in. and me and Brady Quinn were there, and we were having banter, and he called us the playboy and the pretty boy. So I think I'm the playboy, and he's the pretty boy. I don't say, who's who? You can argue both sides. But that's me. That's me.
Starting point is 00:01:28 You can see, we can zoom in. So, yeah, honestly, I wore it for our guest today. I'm also going to ask him what your wrestling name should be after I tell him this story. I'm curious of what he would name you as a wrestler. Me? Yeah, you. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Well, I'm not, I don't want you to answer. I want our guy to answer. Well, let's get, but we're going to reveal our guests in a second. Don't forget, please everybody, go like and subscribe on YouTube, throwback show, all the social media handles at throwback show. Our guest today, I'm not sure what we call him. Because, like, I know him as the Ms. All of you probably know him as the Ms.
Starting point is 00:02:07 We call him the Ms. He's Mike, though, but like I've also seen people call him Mike. and I don't know, do we call Mike or the Ms. when we bring him on? What do you think? I feel like we just get a vibe. I feel like we get a vibe. I think we call Ms.
Starting point is 00:02:19 What's up, Ms. So obviously, amazing wrestling career. He even goes back to the days of like real world. Yeah, he's an OG, man. We've had a few reality stars and we talked about like Mount Rushmore stuff with like reality stars. But when you actually start breaking down the Miz,
Starting point is 00:02:34 especially now too, this is not really reality show, but he's hosting the new, the all new American gladi, And by the way, they used that same exact little beat. It's back. That was one of my favorite shows growing up. Nitro, turbo, lace.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Did you and your boys not think you would have been awesome doing that? That was always the debate of like, oh, we've ripped through that. I feel like I would have never gotten hit, but I feel like it was a lot harder than it looked. Might be one of those lot harder than it looks things. Fired up, man. We got, we got WrestleMania coming up. Dude, yeah, I mean, the Miz is a legend. Miss is a legend, also golf journey.
Starting point is 00:03:12 But yeah, I watched a few episodes already before and that's available now. I've watched a few episodes of American gladiars. I just want to say, and I'll say this to him when he comes on, they did it well. They pay homage to the past gladiator. They just, they did it well. And so it's a reboot that was in good hands and they did a fantastic job with it. And I'm excited to talk to him. And then stick around after we talk to the Miz speaking of reboots.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Matt, I feel like you and I kick around some of our face. favorite shows from the past that we think would be perfect for a reboot. And no, you can't say entourage, okay? Can't say entourage. You can say entourage if you want. Good. We need a reboot of entourage. The whole world wants it, buddy.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Wow. We'll wait for next April 1st to see if we'll run that April Fool's joke back and see if it's still trending. So, all right, without further ado, we bring on the Miz. All right, joining us now on throwbacks, two-time champion of the challenge, two-time WWE champion, eight-time Intercontinental Champion, the WWE's 25th Triple Crown Champion,
Starting point is 00:04:16 the first ever to hold two-time Grand Slam champion, and the only WWE superstar to ever hold three championships at the same time. And also he's a tortured Cleveland fan, like a lot of my in-laws. But before we get going, the Miz joining us, I want to read something that you tweeted three hours ago that to me describes you in a nutshell. from three hours ago,
Starting point is 00:04:39 I'm just collecting hosting gigs like titles, Hall of Fame, American gladiators, which is awesome, by the way. Five weddings. I don't attend events. I run them. At this point, if it has a mic, I'm hosting it. Welcome to the show, buddy.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Thank you for the job. Just a beast. Honestly, it's so true. I mean, if you really think about this week, just this week alone, American Gladiators comes out April 17th, on Prime Video, and I'm hosting that.
Starting point is 00:05:05 I'm not a gladiator. actually hosting it. So I run the show and it is an absolute everything you want and more. And then if you're watching on Friday, then I have SmackDown on USA Network. Then I have the Hall of Fame, which I just found out that I'm hosting. So I was like, oh, okay, I can definitely host that. That'll be on the ESPN app in the United States. So 9 p.m. there. And then Saturday and Sunday is WrestleMania. And right now I don't have a match at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, April 18 to 19th, your ESPN app through the unlimited plan. You like how I have all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:42 You're such a problem. You're just a machine, dude. I get all my plugs in so we can have a conversation. But I don't have a match right now, but I didn't have a match when I hosted SoFi Stadium like two nights. And then I had two matches, both nights got people elbowed by by Snoop Dog. So, I mean, you never know what is going to happen in WWE and at WrestleMania. So even though I don't have a match right now,
Starting point is 00:06:06 I'm always prepared, always ready and ready to go. And if they want me to take over hosting duties from John Cena, then I'll do that as well. At what point do you, I mean, first of all, dude, like I don't even know how you jog. I mean, my mind is blown just thinking about all this shit you have to do in the next four or five days. At what point, I know you probably can't say much.
Starting point is 00:06:26 At what point do you know, oh shit, like I'm a part of this. I'm going to have a match. At what point does that set in at all? Or do you just wait for a call? So when SoFi Stadium, like I didn't find out till day up. Like that afternoon, they were like, yeah, you probably have a match night. And I'm like, wait, what? Huh?
Starting point is 00:06:43 And then it's like, this is WrestleMania. This is what we build for. But the thing is, I've prepared myself to where I can be put into any situation that I feel like. I feel like, I feel like WW prepares you for everything. If you need to do a movie or a television show, you need to do something improv. You need to do any type of thing, hosting, whatever. It prepares you for it. And so I feel like I'm always well prepared for anything, any obstacle that comes in my way.
Starting point is 00:07:09 So if they need me for a match impromptu right then and there, I can definitely go out and put on the best match possible. You kind of hopped past something really quick. You are literally officiating five weddings. Yeah. Is this, this is all true? Now, will these be your first weddings you've ever officiated or is this like you've done this before? I had no idea. I've done one.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I'm one for one. are you? Yeah, I've done one as well. Well, I've done, I'm not appreciating. I'm done one as in like,
Starting point is 00:07:37 I'm married to the love of my life. But that just goes, they asked me, ESPN said they want to do, you know, something special for WrestleMania. And a lot of fans want to be married in, at WrestleMania that they thought it was cool
Starting point is 00:07:52 if they could have a superstar officiated. And they asked me, and I said, absolutely, like, to be able to officiate a wedding, let alone five in one day, is going to be pretty incredible
Starting point is 00:08:04 because it's something that I think people wait for it for their entire lives. Some women think about it their entire lives. And now I think the men with WrestleMania, they're like, listen, I mean, if we want to talk wedding, this is my type of wedding. So now it's my job to not only officiate it, but give them the wedding that they always hoped and dreamed of.
Starting point is 00:08:22 And hopefully I can do my best to make it everything they wanted and more. The hard part is like, do they want Mike or do they want the men? Like, do they want me in a nice suit or do they want me in like Ms. wrestling gear with sunglasses on a headband by ring, ring attire? Like, what do they want? So I think I want to get with the families and ask them, what are they looking for? Because some people want it very professional, very, you know, I'll put my throw on it. I don't think I'm going to be dairy beloved we are gathered here. I think I'm going to go like, welcome to the most must-see wedding of all time or something like that.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Hell yeah. You know, give it to them the way they use. they deserve to be to have it. So I'm really excited about that. It should be a lot of fun. Man, that's going to be awesome. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:09:08 I wanted to ask you, too, because now I went to the Super Bowl, what was it, three years ago in Vegas, Chiefs Niners. And I remember going into that thinking, like, all right,
Starting point is 00:09:18 what is Vegas going to be like? Are you a Super Bowl? No, no, I just happened to go, right? No, I'm a Giants figure. He's a Giants guy.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Yeah. No, I just happened to go to that game, right? I won't go to a Super Bowl unless the Browns are in it. Well, I guess you're never.
Starting point is 00:09:32 for going to talk. You'll be waiting for... Listen, no one roots harder for you and you know, we talked off the air. I'm a Cleveland guy. Well, it's, I call it my team-in-law. I want my in-laws to be happy. But I also, uh, just don't see it because I talk,
Starting point is 00:09:46 I talk to the fans of Cleveland Browns football every other day. And, um, it's tough. But we'll talk, we're going to talk Browns. But I wanted to ask you, you know, WrestleMania in Vegas. I feel like it's the perfect place for a WrestleMania. I was really impressed how. Vegas held up for the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:10:03 So what do you think the vibes are going to be in Las Vegas for WrestleMania? Well, now that I live there and understand what Vegas is all about, it can hold anything. It is the perfect situation because it's all combined. Like, everything is right around each other. So you can go to WWE World, which is our kind of like we can get photo ops, autographs, tons of like integrations, podcasts are being performed live.
Starting point is 00:10:29 There are so many things going on at WW. world, but then also the T-Mobile's right there for WW Smackdown. And then across the street, we're doing the, I believe in the theater, we're doing the Hall of Fame so you can walk right there. Everything's like in a good, like 10-minute area where you can get to. Whereas in other cities, like if you look at San Francisco, there was things like 45 minutes away, two hours this way, one hour that way. San Francisco is a great city.
Starting point is 00:10:57 But everything is so compact in Las Vegas that everything is right there and you're in it. Like you get to feel the electricity and the vibe. And there's nothing quite like Las Vegas. And I love living there. Like I don't even, I don't even go to the strip. I'm in my own little area, my own little city. And I love it. I love everything about it.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I love my kids' school. I love my kids jujitsu teacher. I love all the sports that they're getting involved in. I love my house. And so, and I love no traffic. And the airport's really easy. It is. I'm, Ms. I'm wearing, well, you mentioned Browns.
Starting point is 00:11:36 I don't know if you can recognize. That's Brady Quinn next to me. Brady Quinn? Oh, my God. Do you have any idea how excited I was to draft Brady Quinn? And then Derek Anderson took over. And I thought we had Derek Anderson as our quarterback of the future. And then the next year they figured out what he was doing, what he was doing.
Starting point is 00:11:56 And then figured him out and then put Brady Quinn in. Well, you know, let me ask you this. Do you think if Brady Quinn was on any other team, he would have been able to succeed? So we talk about this. I literally just brought it up because this show originated from Stone Cold Steve Austin coming on our show. But we could talk football if you want. I think there's a lot of organizations in the NFL. And Jerry and I talked about this a bunch that you almost, like, you're almost set up to fail as a quarterback, unless you are transcendent, right?
Starting point is 00:12:30 A transcendent talent. Andrew Luck was one of those we've talked about. I think Trevor Lawrence, like these guys come out of college. There's only a couple that are like. I think Caleb Williams is a transcendent talent. But he wasn't. First year he wasn't. And then all of a sudden, you put him with the right coach.
Starting point is 00:12:45 And I'll tell you what, man. For sure. You're right. You're right. I would just say his talent was transcending. Like, you're like, if he gets a right coach, you're going to really see it. I just think Cleveland is one of those places, man. Like I just think it's one of those places like Arizona still to this day.
Starting point is 00:13:00 It's just like they just can't figure it out. Yeah, so I don't know. I'm rooting for you. I'm rooting for DA is actually my boy. We came out of high school together, Derek Anderson. So it's funny. I hadn't heard Derek's name in years. Hey, he had a pro bowl for you in I think he did.
Starting point is 00:13:16 He was fantastic. He thought he was a sport in the future. He gave me hope, just like Baker Mayfield, gave me hope. And then we just sit rid of them. They screwed over Baker Mayfield. I know they did. You see how now. He's gotten so hurt.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Kevin Stefansky was a, is a great. coach like offensive coordinator or offensive uh coach of the year two years in a row right and so you think like okay we have what it takes we have the right coach we're getting the right culture and then they just get rid of baker mefield i'm like what are we doing why why why are we doing this and now he's someone else's franchise quarterback and that just hurts my heart because i think we had our franchise and we just lost it well i want to ask you now then before we get back to other things, who do you think is going to be calling the plays, throwing the ball
Starting point is 00:14:00 in Cleveland. I mean, I really think the only team generally have no idea who's going to be. The coach's picture. All right. My coach didn't even make the coach's picture. Like, this is just the type of stuff that happens with the Cleveland Brown. He did it? No. He's getting a haircut. He's getting a haircut. Like,
Starting point is 00:14:16 it's like, come on. Maybe that's a good side. Like, I don't know what that. Like, this is every year I say we're going to the Super Bowl. Every year, this is the first year I'm not saying it. I'm just not saying it. I don't know who the quarterback's going to be. I don't want Watson back.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Well, I read it before. Chaturre, I think has, like, he has talent. Like, there's something there. Like, between watching Dylan and Dylan Gabriel and then watching him, you could see the difference with the same team. There's sparks. There's things that you're like, ooh, there's something there. There's something there.
Starting point is 00:14:48 But are they going to give them time to develop it? I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know if there's so much going on in the new. like you hear all these bad things, oh, he's a diva, he's this. There's too much going on. He's taken off. It's click baby, though.
Starting point is 00:15:03 That's click baby. And all that stuff. Like, what's the real story? Like, the things I see are the things that he does in Cleveland to be integrated inside the city of Cleveland. The fact that he's at the building, working on his game, working on everything. He's taught by Prime, who is one of the greatest to ever do it. So it's like, okay, this guy has all the accolades.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Why is there so much negativity? for him and why is he not already mentioned as the starting quarterback. Did he not prove himself last year? Granted, a lot of interceptions. But I just saw sparks that I would want to see what he's going to do rather than worry about Watson. I know that's a lot of money. But when Watson was in, he sucked.
Starting point is 00:15:44 So I love the Cleveland folks, man, the passion that you speak with because we have the same passion in New York, man. I love it. What's your before? I don't want to, I mean, I don't want to keep eating. Jackson, Dard, Scatabo, come on. man. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:15:57 they got a big team. By the way, Jerry is the worst watching, like, talking Giants because he is just like riding high. Last year,
Starting point is 00:16:04 you spent all, you spent three episodes on this show talking about the preseason and how it feels different for the New York fucking Giants this year. Mike, you can relate.
Starting point is 00:16:13 You're just looking for hope. That's all we're looking for is hope. Besides this year, every season I was like, we're going to the Super Bowl. When we went, when we didn't win at one game, I told everyone we're going to the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:16:24 I did. I did. By the way. I was in Vegas for the, and swing at Arch Manning. I was in the, I was in Vegas for when the Browns beat the Steelers. I think it was Baker Mayfield for the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:16:34 That was fun. That was awesome. That was like probably a proud moment for you. God, do we could talk football all day. I want to ask you about Merritt and gladiators and just how, did you, did you ever,
Starting point is 00:16:45 did you want to be a gladiator at one point? Will we see you as a gladiator? Maybe as a kid, as a kid, I wanted to be a WW wrestler and I wanted to be, I wanted to be a gladiator. But now growing up, into the person I've become to get the opportunity to host.
Starting point is 00:17:00 I couldn't gladiate because I'm WW Superstar. Like, that's my full-time job. So in order to do the show that I absolutely love, absolutely always, like, as a kid, wanted to do it. And then to take over the reins from Mike Adamley, you kidding me? I'll take that all day long. And I'm an honored,
Starting point is 00:17:17 it's an honor and privilege to host American gladiators. And let me tell you, watching what I watched, you see the hits. The hits are unreal, man. And the gladiators, each one has their own individual character that you just absolutely, there's a guy Ace that talks in the third person all the time. And he's just like a heartthrob.
Starting point is 00:17:41 He's always doing cheesy stuff like this. So you might love him. Like I think the girls are going to really love him. But the guys are either going to like want to be him or can't stand him because he's so like, it's like that. But he hits hard, right? And then there's one of our female. females is like blazed and she just sets the,
Starting point is 00:17:59 sets the place on fire. Like every time we have a girl named Voltage. She comes from like a rugby background where she like literally just patles people. Like she was like, in Powerball, she's like, let's go. All I want to do is just hit a bit. And so it was, it was fun to watch.
Starting point is 00:18:17 And being the host, it was an honor. And then my, uh, uh, Roxy Diaz is our co-host. And man, she knows, how to get in depth, ask those questions that really hit the heart and the, the, the emotions. And, and Chris Rose, who you guys know from NFL network, oh yeah, following plays like, he calls everything. And the way he's able to balance the professionalism as well as the comedy is unlike anything I've ever seen. I mean,
Starting point is 00:18:49 this version of American Gladiators is a show that I am extremely proud of. The contenders have these stories that you literally go, man, I want this person to win. Please win because you need this. This is something that will set you apart from everything else. So I've been lucky to have seen a few. Prime was fortunate. They sent us some screeners.
Starting point is 00:19:13 I'm not going to spoil anything. But all I want to say is you come out in an amazing way. The minute they hit the, I got the, chills went up my, the back of my spine. I couldn't believe it. And a nice little homage to some of the gladiators past. You do like this great cutaways of some of the people we grew up loving. Now, Matt and I were talking before you came on. Every kid thought they would be awesome and I'm sure you were one of them. Did you think, I just remember being a little going, there's no way that
Starting point is 00:19:47 tennis ball would hit me. I would definitely hit that target on the first try. I've been telling this story and I don't know, I didn't know if like I was supposed to tell. this story, but I've been telling it anyway. So the show winner came out to me. I was like, yo, where's assault? And he's like, do you don't want to do assault? And I go, no, why do they do assault for injured gladiators? Remember, the gladiator just shot the ball around.
Starting point is 00:20:09 So it was made for injured gladiators and it became one of the staples, right? But that's why it was there. Then you have joust, joust is back. Joust, seeing them, like seeing these like, contenders are, they're big. But our gladiars are massive. like massive human beings and elite athletes at everything. I mean, we brought back the wall, seeing people climb up the wall. I mean, these are staples that we remember as children, but then we bring you new stuff like edge.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Edge might be my new favorite. And the reason Edge is my new favorite is because you're 40 to 50 feet up in the air, right? And you're on this platform. Here is a gladiator. Here is a contender. And the idea is it's a grid. and they have to run across it, but there's holes in this grid.
Starting point is 00:20:57 So you have to, it's a balance, and it's also a balancing act, but you're also trying to out maneuver and get across back and forth. There are some spears off of this thing. Remember, they're 40 feet in the air. So they spear them off the thing, and all you see them is just fall onto a net
Starting point is 00:21:13 that is like 20 feet. Yeah, it's very scary. And there are some massive hits that. That one is like the highlight with Atlas Fier is back. And so we have a new case. on Atlasphere that you'll see this season that makes Atlasphere even cooler than what it was.
Starting point is 00:21:30 What's the one you'd want to try the most or if you have, maybe you have? Like, if you could pick one, like, hey, I got permission from WW to do one. Eliminator, the last one. The problem of the eliminator is, like, I can't rip my pants. I only have one set of clothes, right? And if I rip my pants,
Starting point is 00:21:47 that would set us a back. Like, we're trying to film a show here. And then also, like, say I do one of the competition, I do like joust and I get blasted in the eye and I have a black eye. You know about continuity. Shut down production. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Shut down production. I can't get it. You'll be an injured co-host on the sideline shooting tennis balls at people. I just want to do the travel later. Like the treadmill that is basically on an incline. I wanted to do that. They wouldn't even let me do that.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I couldn't do it. This is so rad just talking about. The other thing that stood out, again, not spoiling anything. The contestants, even back in the, day there was some great contestants who were super athletic and not the biggest of people but big in the first episode. Heart man.
Starting point is 00:22:30 It's all about heart. There's a dude in the first episode. I won't say he's the biggest of guy. This guy's like a freak to me. It was like I was watching a freak athlete because he was not a very, very big guy. And man, he was doing his thing. It was awesome. It was electric is the word.
Starting point is 00:22:45 That's what you want to see though. You want to see these, the David and Goliath, right? These guys that are going up against these Titans that the Titans know. they gladiators know what these events are and are very good at them. The contenders are not really experienced. They've seen it on TV, sure, maybe practice with their kids or their friends or their family. But going in there, you're going up against the best of the best. And to see the determination and the will to win, it's really like, it's one of those things that you just applaud.
Starting point is 00:23:15 You know what gets me every time that mid-afternoon slump, like 3 p.m. hits and suddenly thinking about coffee. something sweet, just a little pick-me-up. I've started building in those little treat moments, though, because if you don't, you end up going off the rails, it's all about balance, right? And lately, I've been swapping that extra coffee run for something that actually does a little more for me. Kachava's new coffee flavor.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Stuff is legit. It's got that smooth, real coffee taste made with premium decaffeinated Brazilian beans, but it's also packed with nutrients. It's not just a shake.

Starting point is 00:25:53 it could be you that you were a part of or maybe your top three moments that you watch growing up you just said you want to be a wrestler your top three WrestleMania moments I'll give you both so I'll give you mine top three WrestleMania moments would be WrestleMania 27 main eventing
Starting point is 00:26:09 against John Cena Rock comes out just because I mean I don't remember it because I got knocked out but that is that that's a moment that you strive for. That's the pinnacle. That's our Super Bowl. That's everything.
Starting point is 00:26:22 In the main event, winning and retaining the WWE championship, that's just a childhood dream come true. Number two is walking down the ramp with my wife, being a tag team partner against her, John Cena and Nikki Bella, having that match. Being able to just share the ring with her was incredible, right?
Starting point is 00:26:43 This is the woman I love. This is the person that I met in WWE, and here we are at WrestleMania. and we're together. Number three would be, could it be Snoop dogs, people elbow sucker punching me and then give me a people's elbow?
Starting point is 00:26:58 It's definitely a legendary moment. It's legendary, man. That's pretty good, but I'm going to go with the triple threat match with myself, Finn Baller and Seth Frick and Rollins. Both of those two are some of the best of the best. Like you talk about in-ring talent, knowing how to tell a story,
Starting point is 00:27:16 knowing how to put a main event type match together. We were first out, and let me tell you something, that match stole the show for the Intercontinental title, which is my favorite title out of all WW. I know we're supposed to say WW Championship and World Heavyweight Championship, but man, the one that's near and dear to my heart, when I remember when I was growing up,
Starting point is 00:27:35 when I was a kid, was Ultimate Warrior with that title and just having green and pink and white. My favorite of all time. Yeah, the white one. I met him at the airport. I met him at the airport when I was like eight and he's one of my very first autographs. I was so funny. Was he nice?
Starting point is 00:27:52 Yeah, he was cool. Okay. Yeah, he was, I mean, it was just, I was like eight probably. Yeah, I met him once and that was it. Yeah. Yeah, I never met him. So the three that I would say moments that, that I remember, Rock Hogan in Toronto.
Starting point is 00:28:08 That match is my favorite match of all time. Cody winning and finishing the story, I thought the last 10 minutes of that match is insane something that literally you we always say we want to take away moments that'll last a lifetime that for me i'll remember for the rest of my life i i was so proud to watch cody go from and know his story i watched cody's first match ever in w w a i was there in developmental with cody to see him leave wwee find himself say look i'm not a main
Starting point is 00:28:42 eventor yet. I need to find to figure out a way to be a main eventer goes out there and does it. It's kind of like, well, LeBron did. LeBron didn't know how to become a champion in Cleveland. He went to Miami to figure out how to become a champion, goes back to Cleveland and wins him a champion. Exactly. Yeah. And so that's, that would be number two. And I think, uh, Hogan Andre, Hogan slamming Andre. I mean, I still remember. It's still embedded in my brain. Um, God, I got, dude, I got goosebumps with all that. I'm curious, man. When you were sitting you were walking out with your wife and you're behind that wall. and you come out to the music and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I know, like in football, it's kind of similar, right? When you walk out the locker and you go through the tunnel and there's just fans screaming. Do you have, like, walk us through that for that moment right before when you're about to go on. Do you have a superstition before you go on or like, what, are you getting yourself psyched and you kind of getting into your, like, it's my time? I don't know about you when you're going for a football game or even you, Jerry, when you're getting ready for a big scene.
Starting point is 00:29:39 If you guys get nervous, I'm a huge. person that I get very, very nervous. So my brain is just cramming. It's going, everything that could go wrong. What is going? What if this happens? What if this happens? What if this happens? What if this happens? And so everything that could go wrong is going on in my head. So normally before I'm about to go out, which is the gorilla position, which is right before you see us, I'm standing there. There's probably like 15 people in that room. You know, there's a timekeeper. There's a producer. There's Triple H, there's Bruce, there's Paul Heyman, like everyone's all in there, kind of with their headsets on, watching the show, making sure the show is running correctly. And so I'm in there,
Starting point is 00:30:20 and I'm usually breathing because I feel like I'm going to pass out and throw up. But once my music hit, man, like it's like when the red light goes on, Jerry, right? Or when, when you know, you're getting ready, you're in the huddle, you know, with your boys. Yeah, just you flip a switch. And all of a sudden, everything goes away. Everything goes away. All those. nerves turn into energy, turn into adrenaline, and I just, I feel like when the pressure is at its highest is when I do my best. Yeah, it's, to me, I'm going to throw weird reference at you, but I think it's Rocky 5 when Stallone's character is talking about fear to Tommy Gunn.
Starting point is 00:30:55 He's like, this fear thing, it's either going to like eat you up and you're not going to or it's going to fuel you. I feel like anyone is really good at what they do is nervous. Underrated, thank you. Feeley underrated. Everyone hates that movie. I like it. Sue me,
Starting point is 00:31:10 sue me for what. And also, also, fun for me, Kevin Connolly is the 12-year-old kid who Rob Stallone's kid's leather jacket. That's Kevin Connolly, bro. What?
Starting point is 00:31:21 Yeah, that's Kevin Connolly, bro. But I will say, one of the most nervous moments I've ever had in my life when we were promoting the entourage movie was we kind of guest starred on Raw, right?
Starting point is 00:31:34 Yeah. It was in Nassau Coliseum, closing Nassau Coliseum out, by the way. And it was Matt Cardona, Zach Ryder, he's the Long Island kid, so we like accompanied him. So when we were like talking it through early They asked the moment for you.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Bro, I was insane. They asked like the five of us like, they asked us like, who wants to take a little bit of a bump and do? I fucking was about to raise my I was about to raise my hand because it's my dream and fucking Kevin Dylan steps. He's like, I'll do it. I'll do it. It was with Sina.
Starting point is 00:32:04 It was Sina, Zach Ryder. And like, of course, everybody started laughing like oh yeah that's gonna be hilarious because kevin's just Dylan's like funny and without even trying and he just got to it quickly and do he gets in the ring and gets like a shoulder bump from scene and to this day i am still jealous that he has that moment however the most nervous i've ever been in my career i think is standing at gorilla getting ready to go out there and like what is this audience reaction and we got a nice little pop and man i could see why that could be the most addictive
Starting point is 00:32:38 feeling in the world. There was nothing like it. And I've done some pretty cool stuff in my career. There was nothing like that moment for a person for me person. Was there ever like a hard scene that you've done? Like, what's the hardest scene that you feel like for you challenge you the most as an actor as a person? Do you have a scene like that that you were like that you remember you go, man, this one,
Starting point is 00:32:59 this is a big one. Well, yeah, I remember like to give it a little bit of context, we shot at the, you know, we became known for shooting at real events, right? So we went to the actual Cannes Film Festival to do an episode, and they kept their red carpet open for us. At the very end, it was the Ocean's 13 premiere. And when we saw, I think it was Scott Khan, walk in, that was our cue. They kept like 10,000 journalists and photographers there for us.
Starting point is 00:33:27 And one take, you got one shot. And I had the first line coming out of the car. And I just know, like, if I come out bumbling this line, it's over. I blew the whole... We blew all the way to France. for nothing. And like you, I'm back there just running everything of like what could go. And sure I managed to get through my line. And I just remember going, whew. But when we got it, it was like, wow, that was crazy that we did that. And it was this huge feeling of relief.
Starting point is 00:33:50 And I knew it would be something I would remember forever, which I could only imagine is what every WrestleMania must feel like. Was there a moment for you, Matt, like out there that was like, what was the hardest, like, whether it might be a game or a play or a moment that you literally remember that you go, oh, this one, or you felt the nerves and you felt the adrenaline rush? Yeah, there were, there were a few. I think that the one game that stands out is, well, there's two, the Rose Bowl, we lost to Texas in the national championship game. I was more nervous earlier in my career in college and then as I got more, game day was always probably how you feel like on game day, right? It's like it's show day, nerves are a little bit, but your juices are
Starting point is 00:34:32 flowing, the adrenaline kicks in. That was the one because, that was, that game was so much pressure on us to win a third in a row. No one had ever done that. So I personally felt just a lot more pressure. And we played pretty well. We just ended up losing at the end, obviously. And then the Monday night football game, my rookie year, we played the Bears. And I'll never forget, it was like, it was sort of my welcome to the league moment.
Starting point is 00:34:55 It was my second game starting. And it just, Monday night football is a different feel than just a Sunday afternoon game. It just is, whether you're 0 and 8 or 8, no, it doesn't matter. Monday night football is like national television. Everybody's watching. And we were playing the Bears. And they ended up going to the Super Bowl that year. But I remember like the first couple of plays I'm walking in.
Starting point is 00:35:15 And it's Brian Erlacker. Like for me to you just staring at me, 6-5, 260, right in the middle, like stare. Like, you know what I mean? So that's like, I get goosebumps just thinking about it. I was like, it's kind of my welcome to the league Mona, but also like, oh shit, this is like, let's go, man. This is what it's all about. But you get that a lot. I've been to so many events.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Like, the wrestling thing is just so, there's an energy to it that I just, I think, is truly unmatched, man. Like, you've been to a lot of NFL games. There's stadiums full or rocking for your team, but there's an energy inside those arenas that... Different fans. It is. It's just a different fan base, man.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Unlike anything that anyone's ever experienced. Like, I always tell people, it's never been to a WWE event, go. And I guarantee you, you will become a fan. At least if you're, not like a hardcore fan, you'll be able to appreciate exactly what WWE is and the work that goes involved because you see the pyro, you see the characters, you see promos, then there's no, there's no teleprompters, there's no, there's no cute cards, there's none of that. It's all
Starting point is 00:36:22 just out there and you're just going on and flying by the cedar pants. And if something happens in the crowd, like where the crowd's chanting one way, we might switch things up just to go with whatever the crowd is going with or if the crowd is booing someone and they're not like we're like oh man they're booing this person how do i get them to switch their change their mind you got to be on your feet be using your improv skills to do that so there's there's nothing quite like w w w and i've been to it all i went to the masters uh this we're going to talk god we're ending with golf you you ain't getting out of a golf conversation i'll talk golf all day wrong dude i went to the masters and let me tell you that was that was unreal like you walk in and it's so quiet and there's
Starting point is 00:37:01 thousands of people. No one's on their phones. The phones are gone. I used to pay phone that was free. I used to put a quarter. I remember back in the day, back in my day, we had a quarter and we put the paper. I called my wife. I was like, I'm calling you from a pay phone. I just thought I had to call and I had to meet someone. Well, I had to meet someone and I was like, how do I meet this person? Like, they're not here yet. Okay, uh, 1230, let's meet by the oak tree. You'll know what I'm talking about. And so I had to call my wife to text that person to do it. So yeah, that's exactly what happened. So I hung it up and that's exactly what happened.
Starting point is 00:37:35 We, uh, I met the person at 1230 at the, at the oak tree. Then watching all the drives like you see these people. Oh, man. I'm like, these guys are smaller than me. How would they be able to drive? Like Rory, when he walks into a building or walks up to his tea, it's, it's like a superstar, like an absolute aura of an icon, right? Like everyone else walks up and you're like, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Clap, clap, some people get bigot pops and others. Even Bryson DeShambo, who's wildly popular right now. YouTube golf has, like, made him like this. Exploded, yeah. I mean, especially listening to him and hearing him and hearing his story and see how, see how scientific he is. The fans are really into it. But there's a difference between when Rory walks up to the tea and Bryce and
Starting point is 00:38:21 DeShambo walks up at the tea. It's just, there's just a different feel. It's a different aura. And for him to go back to back, that was pretty special to watch. And then also to eat there, like, I wanted to experience. everything. So yeah, did you go? Did you, I'm sure you bought all the memorabilia. I went to the gift shop. I looked for the gnomes. Didn't get one. I'm still trying to get one. Try to get the gnome. But, uh, on the secondary market.
Starting point is 00:38:44 I waited in line for the gift shop. Like, I didn't want to take like, I didn't want them, hey, we'll bring up the back door. No, no, no, no, no. I'm waiting in line in the gift shop. I'm doing the everything that, that the masters has to offer. So walk through the line, got my stuff. I got a nice hoodie, a hat. Um, I got my white. I have my daughter's hats and shirts. So I got a haul. And then I went to this year's? Is it this year's?
Starting point is 00:39:08 Yeah. Oh, you just went to this year's master's. They broke down this swing on ESPN. Was it North, right? North broke down your swing. That's crazy. How amazing is that? Like, I'm like, I'm at the, they're like, I'm at, on ESPN.
Starting point is 00:39:19 And all of a sudden, I have a golf pro like analyzing my swing on the masters and saying that, hey, it's a pretty good swing. I'm like, yes. Yes. By the way. The future's bright, right? The future's bright for you. By the way, I would have been fucking.
Starting point is 00:39:31 shit my pants out there too, dude. Yeah. I mean, it was, I was wearing all white. So, you know, I was trying to do best dressed. So, yeah, I mean, it was pretty sweet. And then the concessions, like the food, $1.50 for a sandwich. I love that. I mean, why can't we go back to this? I agree.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Why am I hearing at Coachella that fries are $38? Like, go back to $1.50. This episode, is brought to you by FedEx. These days, the power move isn't having a big metallic credit card to drop on the check at a corporate launch. The real power move is leveling up your business with FedEx intelligence and accessing one of the biggest data networks powered by one of the biggest delivery networks.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Level up your business with FedEx, the new power move. A couple of things before we let you go. Number one, you did a good job hosting our show for a second. and you asked Matt and I maybe the two best questions of the show. Good job. You're now hosting our show. Very good. Another,
Starting point is 00:40:41 I'm curious about your guys' career. I think you guys have amazing career. I mean, I used to shoot it up with you at Unbreakable and we used to work out. I tell Matt this all the time. I'm like, why am I working at Glazer's Gym? Tell me what doesn't belong in this gym working out.
Starting point is 00:40:56 The Miz, Lane Johnson, Jadavia and Clownie, Jerry Ferrara. What the fuck am I doing in there? Stallone, Stollone walking around. Everyone was walking around that. That, I mean, it was, that place was unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:41:12 I was like, I couldn't believe it. It was right down the street. I'd walk to it. Yeah, I got paired with like Aaron Rogers for two weeks. I got paired with Sean McVeigh. Before he was a coach. You two would be an awesome hang together. So before he was like, before he got, like he got the job, but he wasn't the coach.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Like he was the coach, but no one like he wasn't, he didn't coach yet. The first game didn't happen yet. So it was off season and I'm I'm there and Jay's like, why don't you go with Sean today? And after working out with him for one hour and watching him during that season, I was like, I understood what it takes to be an NFL coach because he motivated me. Not by like, come on, man, come on, man. It was like something about his competitive nature and the way he is. it made me want to like step up and be like, all right, I'm going to prove this.
Starting point is 00:42:07 All right, I'm going to go. Even though he was like, he's young, right? But man, dude, some of the people I met it Unbreakable are crazy. It was awesome. You know, the first time I saw that you were in Cleveland, I was on your Instagram. And I was something through, I was like, what is? That looks like Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Like I saw a background. A gray background. By the way, no one else would know this unless you're from Cleveland. And so I was like, wait, why is Jerry? I think I text you. I was like, are you in Cleveland? Are you, you're full calves, so you're all Cleveland all the way, right? All Cleveland all the way.
Starting point is 00:42:42 I think this is the team, hopefully this year, that can kind of take us to it. I mean, Harden, when we got Hardin in the beginning, I was like, eh, like, he kind of falls apart in the playoffs. Like, what's that going to do for us? But now, watching them together and seeing how they're playing. And he's always available. Garland had the availability issue. All right, so wait, what's, all right, sticking on golf for one second.
Starting point is 00:43:02 What's the handicap these days? Roughly. You're a busy guy. 14. I just got a simulator though in my house. By the way, I'm a 14 too. We actually should get out there and have. We're going to Ridgewood.
Starting point is 00:43:14 I'm going to take you to Ridgewood. Can I go, please? I would love to go. It's a public course to Muni. I don't know if Jerry likes to go to Munis when he's in Brexville. No, we'll come see you in Vegas, dude. Sleepy Hollow in Brexville, man. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:43:26 I forgot about that. Yeah. What's your, do you have like a low score, all time low, or do you not even have, like, what's your like all-time low? Do you want me to be honest? I don't really keep score when I golf. Like, golf is a time for me to like unwind and relax and chill out. And I kind of, I keep score until I start losing balls and then I just stop keeping score.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Well, here's why I'm framing this a certain way. I'm going to give you a torturous question right now. But it's probably going to be easy for you. Would you rather shoot even par that includes a hole in one? You have a hole in one and you just shot a six. at a really great course. I mean, give him a gust of, bro. Or the Browns win the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Let's see what kind of a guy you are. Let's see what kind of a city is on your shoulders right now. I get a hole in one. I get a hole in one. You're shooting even par and in that round it includes a hole in one. Even par and the round includes an ace. No, I know.
Starting point is 00:44:27 I'm going to the Browns. I'm going to the Browns to the Super Bowl. I'm doing it for the city because when the Browns succeed, the city of Cleveland succeeds. And I'm all about the city of Cleveland succeeding and doing better. Well, dude, I can't thank you enough for doing this.
Starting point is 00:44:41 I'm like trying to visualize your weekend. You're hosting a hall. Yeah, start Friday morning. Let's start Thursday. Okay. So Thursday, it kind of starts. It starts off with a 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. media run for WrestleMania as well as American gladiators.
Starting point is 00:45:00 it'll be like one of those satellite tours so it'll be like kind of a virtual thing from nine o'clock i will go and get a make-a-wish um which is one of those things i don't know if you guys have ever done a make-a-wish but man yeah seeing the families the kids the smile on their faces there is there's nothing nothing and i mean nothing that is more of a sensation than being able to put a smile on a kid's face so that i'll do that and then i have a photo at WWE World, autograph signing at WWE World. Then I will officiate those five weddings. And then I hopefully will be able to go to sleep or maybe dinner with my wife.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Then Friday, American Gladiators will premiere on Amazon Prime three episodes. So you can watch the three episodes. And then you can watch me on USA Network's Smackdown. And then right after Smackdown, I'll be hosting the Hall of Fame ceremony. inducting the best, the best in WWE's past. And then Saturday I will have WrestleMania and Sunday I will have WrestleMania and I have a bunch of stuff
Starting point is 00:46:11 that I have to do at WrestleMania that people don't know about yet. But we always like to sneak things in. So yeah, I love it. I watch it on the ESPN app. Dude, that's a, that's, I hope you're like having someone. You're all good. That's my week.
Starting point is 00:46:26 I'm doing like a vlog or something. Real quick, dude, before we let you go, Last question. Any NFL guys that you think would be great WWs superstars or that you would want to see in the ring. We know Kittal. We know. I was about to say Kittal, Kelsey, Jason Kelsey, both Kelsey. Travis and Jason.
Starting point is 00:46:44 I mean, and if you want people that are Cleveland through and through, that is Cleveland. That is the standard fair. Like Travis is the same guy I met at an All-Star game like 15 years ago. And he has not changed at all. Every time I see him, he warms the air. Like, he's one of those people that, like, his aura is absolute positivity. And it just makes you smile when you're around him. Jason, same way.
Starting point is 00:47:11 So I'm at the Masters. And, man, you know, let me tell you this story. This is, this is Cleveland. And I hope he's okay with me saying this. So I saw Jason, saw him, started talking to him. And a kid came up. And he said, hey, Jason, I'm an offensive line. Kid was maybe 10 years old, right?
Starting point is 00:47:28 And he's like, is there any advice you would give me? Jason literally said, let me see your stance. And so Jason started literally getting in his stance and showing this kid. And the kid was like, now move me, move me. And he was showing him different moves and maneuvers. I'm talking 10 minutes. 10 minutes. He was sitting there with this kid.
Starting point is 00:47:49 The kid just asked, now a guy could have been like, look, kid, yeah, you want a picture. By the way, no pictures. That's probably another reason that it's so cool because there's no pictures at the Masters. But think about that. He just took, he just got from an all pro offensive lineman to take 10 minutes out of his day. Wow, by the way, he's watching the Masters. He's watching, he's there with his friends, his family. He literally took 10 minutes out of his day to tell this kid not just be like, hey, do this and you'll be good.
Starting point is 00:48:14 It was like a in-depth conversation. That's growing up in Cleveland. That's what that is. And so that's just, I have nothing, but I love to say, Miles Garrett would be great as a WWE Super Bowl. star. Or gladiator. I feel like Miles Garrett would be an insane gladiator too, right? Best gladiator. He would be the most ferocious American gladiator
Starting point is 00:48:36 we've ever seen. Yeah. That might be, I don't know, it's tough. Miles Garrett, better wrestler, or better glad? I don't know. He might be a better gladiator because that's, I don't know. Tough. Well, man. Dude, you're also, man. It's pleasure meeting you. Thanks for coming on, man. Good to see you. Good luck with all the things. Jerry. Good to see you again.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Matt, nice meeting you. And guys, thank you so much for having me on a road to shit. We all pretty much everyone we have on. We all, we all. Pretty much everyone we have on, we always end with golf. So we always say, hey, let's go get it. Let's go play golf sometimes. Go golf. Yeah, Jerry, call me.
Starting point is 00:49:03 How about that? I'm from Cleveland. Like, if you didn't, I'll take you to Ridgewood. All right. That's where I used to grow up and play golf. By the way. If you didn't have nine jobs this weekend, we could play Shadow Creek, buddy, but you're spoken for.
Starting point is 00:49:17 I have to, wait, I got to tell the story real quick, dude. I have to tell the story. So last year, we had Justin Thomas on. Oh, I shit myself, bro. I'm texting. So I'm texting. in JT. We had him on right before the Masters last year. And I know him through a good buddy of mine or whatever.
Starting point is 00:49:32 And I'm like, dude, come on. He was like, he was the best. I don't know if you ever met him. He's the best. I text Jerry. I'll give you a story after this. I text Jerry, I go, I go, bro, I think we're getting JT. Jerry, literally, you would have thought this, it was four year old on fucking Christmas morning. Dude, he was so nervous for like two weeks to get JT on. Then we talk. And I'm like, I'm like, should I text him during the Masters weekend? Like, you know, I was like, don't you dare. Like a little McVeigh, because I'm like, let's fucking go. Like, I'm trying to root him on.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Like, you got this, you got this. He's like, you cannot fucking text him during the master. Are you kidding me, bro? Oh, dude, but we had him on. He's a great guy. Did you text him? No, I didn't. I was like, we didn't.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Okay. We actually had a segment like, should we text him? So imagine you get him on the podcast. Imagine spending four hours with him on a golf course. I got to do a pro am and JT was our guy. Oh, that's awesome. And let me tell you something. He is.
Starting point is 00:50:26 everything you wanted him to be in more. Like he was so interactive. Like, he hit this amazing shot, right? It was like 330. I'm like, man, do you just, what goes through your mind? Like, is there a lot of things going through your mind? Are you thinking like when you hit that shot, I could hit it this way or that way? He goes, no, do you do that?
Starting point is 00:50:44 And I go, every shot, man, every shot. It's just 20. He goes, you're not good enough to do that. Get up here and just swing the club. Don't think about anything. And so I did it. And literally it was my best shot of the, the day. And then he would line up
Starting point is 00:50:58 everyone's putts. So I was like on fire putting. I was like if I could line my put up like this. Right. I'd be really good at golf. Oh. I was so nervous to talk to him. I told my wife we're having J.T. on the pod. She said you haven't Justin Timberlick. I look, we got into
Starting point is 00:51:14 a fight. I'm like, that's not J.T. anymore. J.T. is Justin Thomas. And then right before he came on, we were talking about Matt and I were like prepping. And like he's really, obviously, boy, is Jordan Speeth. So we started talking about Jordan Speeth. So Justin Thomas jumps on the Zoom and I called him Jordan. That's how nervous I was.
Starting point is 00:51:31 And we were just talking about Jordan's speed. So I was like, Jordan. I never see Jerry like this dude. Bro, I was hilarious. Homer Simpson meme into the bushes like this. I was traumatized. I called him Jordan. That's how nervous and shit that was.
Starting point is 00:51:43 I didn't splice that and just put it all out there making a meme. True. Well, hey, look, man. I'll look for you in Vegas. I'll be at Shadow Creek. Good luck with everything, dude. And you're the man. Honestly, go clean.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Thanks, guys. Appreciate you. Appreciate you, buddy. So Matt, I feel like he gave us a, not like a wink wink, but he said like, I got WrestleMania. Like, because he's not, there's no scheduled match as of yet. We're taping this on a, on a Tuesday. So I feel like he gave us a little. Dude, something's happening.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Something's happening. And I will be, I will be watching. I will be watching. God, what a, what a G, dude. So American gladiators, again, also coming out on Prime Video Friday. It got us thinking then for our little C block close out here. we're going to do our shows that we would like to see get the reboot. Now, you can go scripted if you want,
Starting point is 00:52:33 or you could stick with the kind of like American Gladiators kind of game show type. So I'm going to clear the floor for you. So I was a big, yeah, so I did sort of the game show type contestant thing. I was a big Nickelodeon fan. Sure. And I did, I had so much fun time. I mentioned supermarket sweep to you the other day. We were talking.
Starting point is 00:52:57 That's a good one. That's a great one. And by the way, it could be my top three, but it'll be honorable mention. The first one that I have, and I'll get to, it's not necessarily a game show, but it is my, it should be back. My third, I did Double Dare. Remember Double Dare? Mark Summers. You kidding?
Starting point is 00:53:14 Mark Summers, Double Dare was something I watched literally Weekly is one of my favorite shows. This second one, dude. How about guts? Whose family got guts? Can you name what the mountain and the final thing was? Because remember we were talking? We just talked with the Mizz and with all the final mountain, what it was called.
Starting point is 00:53:37 When they had like the fake rocks coming down at you and all that. I'm trying to remember. It's on the tip of my tongue. In the spirit of time, give it to me. But yeah, I know like something with like a... The agro crag. Yes. Well played.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Guts would be a good rebrand. Oh, dude. Could you bring that back, especially if you got like a certain type of contestant? And then listen, number one, we've talked about, and it's not necessarily in that vein, but it's TRL. Oh, okay. I like where you went. Like, we need a reboot. Like, why can't we bring TRL back, whether it's on it? Like a YouTube version or something.
Starting point is 00:54:11 It doesn't even matter. Like, was there nothing better than watching Carson Daily host TRL? You had every famous singer in the world, every week talking about it. You had your top 10 music videos. it's just something like when I taught like my like Cole, my oldest son and that jet like they'll never get to experience what we did at TRL.
Starting point is 00:54:29 So not necessarily a game show but one that I just think needs to come back. That's a great list. And ironically, we have no overlap. Super random. Double their guts and TRL. I did have supermarket sweep on there too though. What a freaking,
Starting point is 00:54:44 it's been popping up on my YouTube. Supermarket sweep is low key banger. All right. My number three, there used to be this show. I watched it a little bit as a kid, but now in thinking about it, it would be so good for a reboot. It was called Battle of the Network Stars, right?
Starting point is 00:54:58 Yeah, I've heard about it. So just imagine, you know, but now it's streaming. You can call it like Battle of the Streaming Stars. So imagine like the cast of Ted Lasso against like the cast of Paradise. And it's all these physical competitions. So good. I just think it would really work. It would really work.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Number two for me, this is like in your TRL thing. bring me back NBA inside stuff Oh, I'm odd for shot Give me like a YouTube version Deep I want to spend a few hours With some of these young NBA players Give me NBA inside stuff
Starting point is 00:55:32 And for my number one, bro Bring back celebrity boxing Celebrity boxing Ring back celebrity boxing It's kind of happening somewhat It's happening with Jake Paul to a degree But like give me Dustin Diamond versus Danny whatever
Starting point is 00:55:48 Like I Bring back celebrity boxing to the point where, hey, all this beef we read about on Twitter, let's put the gloves on. Let's fight it out. Which two celebrities right now do you want to see box? Who would you pay? I know a few I would like to box. Who would you, who would, who would Jerry Ferrar would like to box?
Starting point is 00:56:07 I think I'd like to see Seth Rogen put on the gloves a little bit. Maybe see if we could spar a little bit, just a little bit. See what, see what he's got. You know, Josh Gad might catch the hands. Josh Gad might catch the hands. If Jake Paul calls you right now, he says, Jerry Farrow, I'm going to pay you $10 million. Yes.
Starting point is 00:56:24 You're saying yes regardless. Who am I fighting? You get to pick the person that you want to fight. For $10 million? For $10 million? For $10 million. No, but it's someone that you have a little bit of like that you would, essentially that you would do for free if no one know that.
Starting point is 00:56:40 It would be Seth Rogan. Is that your number one? No, no. I mean, I would pick him because I feel like I could win. So like I would take the, you know, but for $10 million, I would take a fight where I really have a real chance of getting knocked out. Who would you fight from the cast of entourage? I feel like you would take, I feel like you would want to fight Jeremy Piven.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Maybe, yeah, yeah, that's you probably right. But Connolly and I historically, oh, like, because we've always, like, we've got to short jokes. You guys are too, you're too close, though. No, what I'm saying is like we're like same height. I'm a little heavier, close in weight class. Like we actually line, we'd be in the same, if it was real boxing, we'd be in the same division. It would be like a real fight. We'd be in the same division.
Starting point is 00:57:27 I feel like of that whole crew, I feel if that whole crew, you would smash Adrian. I think you would smash Connolly too. I think Dylan. Not Connolly's tough. Connolly's tough. He's got a, he's got a, yeah. Dylan's tough. He might be a little gamey though now at this point in his life, you know.
Starting point is 00:57:43 He's a little up there. I'm sorry. I run through Piven too. I run through Piven too. Yeah, you run through Piven. Don't. Connolly's tough. Connolly would be your best.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Connolly's a tough kid. And Dylan's tough, too. But more importantly, you're in the heavyweight division for the most part. Who are you fighting? Stretch. Oh, I'm 215. Am I in the heavyweight? Oh, if I'm in the heavyway, I'm getting my fucking ass kick.
Starting point is 00:58:10 You're probably light heavy. You're probably light heavy. Because you're tall. I'm getting my ass warped in a heavy way. But who are you fighting? You got to keep it relative to size. You can't pick like someone who's literally like five, like tiny. You have to pick someone six foot at least.
Starting point is 00:58:28 You know who just came to mind my fucking guy, Dan Rolofsky, because we're like the same. You guys are both, yeah, that'd be, you know what? That'd be a great fight. I think you edge out. I'll fight Brady. I'll fight Tom. Oh, do you say Brady Quinn.
Starting point is 00:58:40 I don't you say Brady would smash me. Brady's like 260, bro. That's probably a little heavy. Is your power punch lefty? Would you be fighting lefty? Yeah, I'd be jabbing with my right. Adds another layer. You're a Southpaw.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Okay, last one before we go. Who wins you or Seth Green? Listen, I'm probably cocky and overconfident. I got to imagine. You were going to smash fucking Seth Green. But these days we're all confused because, I don't know, Seth Green could be like some kind of jujitsu black belt. The last time we saw you in a ring, Rhonda Rousey, whooped your ass.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Listen, I want to put it out there. By the way, she probably still whoop your ass. I think Connolly and I would be a toss-up. I really do. He's a tough kid. I know he could fight. Dylan, I'm just going to say maybe age helps me there, but Dylan also tough. I run through Adrian.
Starting point is 00:59:30 I run through Piven. I got to imagine I run through Seth Green. I got to. I tell you, you don't want to fight from entourage. Stay away from Scott Khan. We'll do a poll. We'll do a poll online. This will be good.
Starting point is 00:59:42 All right. Well, good luck to the Miz and all of his 97 events that he has. Maddie, we'll be back next week. All right. Peace.
