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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You're getting 25 grams of plant-based protein
fiber and greens.
Basically all the good stuff your body needs.
I've noticed better energy throughout the day
and it actually keeps me feeling full.
No crash, no junk,
just clean fuel.
And it's made with high quality ingredients,
no artificial flavors or sweeteners,
non-GMO, no soy,
no gluten, just real good stuff.
Plus it comes with a bunch of great flavors,
but this coffee one,
perfect if you're craving that treat,
but you still want to stay on track.

Every episode, Ms, we do a throwback three, and we want to bring it, and we want to throw it back to you in WrestleMania.
You know, you've been a part of a bunch or an OG legend in wrestling.
what are your top three
WrestleMania moments
honestly we want to give you the floor
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
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.
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?
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?
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,
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
