“Stone Cold” Steve Austin Documentary: A 50% Facts review

0:09 Welcome. We're going to talk today about something that this is not actually happened. Has this happened before us? As before we watched a documentary about somebody that we have actually spent time with in real life. Um, I don't think we did. Jane Crocs. Did we do a review? Oh? Yeah we did. Actually that's what that's Jane Croc. I would say American Gladiators walks the line just because of Jen and Michael Hearn. Obviously they weren't featured in this American Gladiators. Trying to think of the other ones, probably not, Yeah, so so Croc's got to be the Yeah. Yeah, I was even trying to think of the other sports we've done, because there's a new quarterback one that we should probably cover. I heard was good, but I haven't heard of We want to follow up the tennis one, but I haven't seen the second part of it come out yet. Yeah, is it just a new season? Uh no, it's the second half of the first season. Because I didn't even finish it, had paused it. Yeah, I did like three of those, and then yeah, we could catch up on that, but I don't know anything. And then tennis players, and then I think the Golf one was supposed to have a second season or second half too, but god knows what the fuck they're going to do there.

1:15 Hopefully they just cover the news. Yeah, I mean it was such a big deal in the first season of it. That was like half of the drama, right, so I assume they just covered again. I watched a little golf this weekend. There's the what's it called the Celebrity Tournament, the one that Steph Curry was Yeah. Yeah, So if you're Steph Curry, how much longer do you play basketball? And then you just like transition to the good the golf Tour. I think they said he was the first active athlete to win the Celebrity Tournament's possibility. Yeah, and then only second basketball player, which was another Sacramento Cat, Vinnie del Negro, won it in like the nineties or early two thousands. I heard this, Steph Curry like, is a like really good golfer. Yeah, he's gonna like a scratch golfer him could probably make that transition should he so choose. Not that he's gonna need the money, but yeah, no, I mean just competitive, he might. But you can golf, you know, you can be a golf pro tier fifty fifty five sixty. Yeah, so he might as well. He's still playing really good basketball. He made a quote in the interview which was cool about Kings fans at the Tahoe event. Oh yeah, and then there's like a snippet of him saying he wouldn't mind being part of the beam before he retires, which is cool. That's very interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that was going to be the case. Yeah. I mean he lives in Oakland, you know, Yeah, same shit, he's been there forever. Yeah, who knows, Maybe like Sacramento, maybe he likes the fans. Maybe he just likes Tahoe golf and we're an hour closer.

2:42 Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, you could definitely turn pro a lot of golfers. That's like the argument. And I don't know like the data, but I'm sure we could look it up. When I got in a discussion the day with Colin and Munch of the guys about like what athletes or what sports athletes would be the best put into any other sport. And I always sound by because I'm a basketball player, but it's just true, like every basketball player I know, not everyone, but a lot of basketball players I know are like sick at golf, and everyone says like golf's the hardest sport, and golf is really fucking hard, of course, But like I know, Tons, my buddy who played at Saint Mary's and now plays pro in Australia's shout out to Clint. Clint can golf like a motherfucker. He's six seven shooting guard on the Aussia national team. Golf's like a bitch, you know, Jordan, even though everyone talks all this shit like Jordan, I'll golf. Anyone listening here, you know, like is he a pro?

3:30 No? But there's just so many guys, and obviously there's just good athletes because in that celebrity tournament and in general, all these X quarterbacks and shit will go and turn into golfers because they have no time or they have all the time in the world so they can just practice. But football, there's so many positions that can't even fucking catch a ball. That's the difference. Yeah, everyone tries. The basketball is the only sport where you do every single thing. Yeah, that's true. More of an all around athlete, so you have a better shot at having been good at other other sports. Everyone's got to put a ball through a small hole. Yeah, and that's what you got to doing golf, not that it obviously translates because you got a stake and I understand all that. But the hand eye coordination representative of a quarterback might fit into golf, but the hand eye coordination of an offensive lineman has nothing to do with golf. So if you're a kid, um like, you can play soccer almost all year round, you can play baseball a good amount of the year because they're depending where you live. Do you bring away that because some of them have you know, UM different organizations.

4:36 You can play rerect league stuff. You can play play UM other organizations, little league and UM and beyond football kind of Yeah, I don't think they do it just because your body, your body can't take it. But what about basketball, Yeah, you're around easy, but I'd say basketball is the most year round. Yeah, yeah, even an NBA. Yeah, basketball is the most year round. You know, you're indoors, you're indoors, and then like your body doesn't take the hit of football. Yeah, I'd say it's probably the most most covered. And that's like some issues people think with injuries and shitt and coming out. But yeah, those guys AAU goes year round. Some dudes are playing like two teams during their high school season sometimes geez. Yeah, and then the Summer League and the NBA is getting huge, so that's going crazy. It's always been a thing, but now it's like cool for some reason. It is cool for some reason.

5:28 Yeah, just over the last couple of years, it's been maybe the G League. You know, the truth is it's probably the NBA's marketing. It's hard to like give it to anything else. Obviously talent levels high, but NBA marketing to make the G League big. Yeah, it's all tied into the Summer League because that's all like rookies and G League players. So yeah, maybe they're just succeeding at their five year marketing plan. And then was it the Ignite or something they started like a whole new league, they started like a college league. Yeah, so I think maybe, yeah, they're just geniuses. I guess maybe. So yeah, because everyone's there. Bart Bart just text me yesterday he was in the gym. I don't know what Jimmy was. He might have been at Stands gym and he's like chatting with the Rockets coaching staff. Oh really Yeah, he's just like, yeah, dude, the Rockets are still in town. I'm talking to him. I'm like, oh shit, I'm still in town. Yeah. I think it's playoffs for summer league. Oh oh yeah, yeah, so I think there's like four teams left or something. Yeah, I don't know. But golf, I mean shit, there's obviously injuries, but it's kind of a sweet deal. I think I even think tennis. Not that it's easy. I'm not saying nay, that's easy, but like, I feel like it's just way less chance of injury than football, basketball, soccer, and nobody gonna hit you out of nowhere. Yeah that actually that's a fair point. But if you think about it, um, you know, professional unscripted sports, yeah, can be dangerous, but like professional scripted sports, like wrestling,

6:59 seems like the level of danger is really tacked up. Yeah. I've never been in one of those wrestling rings, but they look like they're a little forgiving. But I also didn't know. The biggest thing I found from this documentary is that I didn't know. I think maybe I just got lucky because people say the golden rare basketball is obviously around Jordan too, which is my generation as a kid. But then same with wrestling, I only watched and I didn't know that. I didn't purposely choose that. It was just like perfectly in my age gap from like ten to fifteen, that The Rock and Stone Cold were doing it. And then yeah, when I was younger in ten, I just wasn't allowed to watch it. And then when I got to like thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, I just knew was fake. It wasn't as interested and Stone Cold and The Rock start to leave, you know what I mean. So like I hit this perfect gap of wrestling coolness and my dad like kinda knew about it because he would like joke about Jake the Snake, Like I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't know the timelines of the business, I guess. And this documentary talked about the ECW being kind of the king, and I knew was a WCW. Was that Colgan mostly, I believe that's correct, Yeah, and so that was pretty popular, and I know whole Colgan wasn't the w w E or WWF at the time, and I knew the WWF was new and upcoming, but I didn't know, yeah, the crossover and that ECW was like the crazy shit, and then Vince McMahon took that. It does seem like Vince McMahon and them are fucking geniuses, you know. Yeah, it um. The documentary really doves into to what Man kind of brought to the table in terms of making wrestling

8:30 super mainstream, not just a little mainstream, but super in the zeitgeist. And some of it you call like dumb luck or like stars aligning, because yeah, you do need the talent to show up, and he got the Rock and Stone Cold and then maybe it was just that era in TV two right, because he got like fucking Spike TVs becoming a thing. Then the Man Show, like that era is just like gritty. The NFL's hitting the hardest hits, Like the NFL was huge in the nineties because people are blowing each other's helmets all off. Even basketball's physical more physical during that era, he got shock shipping on people. You know, like that era was just kind of like crazy. I feel like when I think of the and I was a kid, but when I think of it, I think, yeah, like fucking monster trucks. I think a Spike TV type shit. Yeah, from like ninety to like two thousand. The Rock was even on Star Trek. Oh really during that time. Yeah, he was on an episode of Voyager. Yeah, so we fought seven and nine in an arena.

9:24 He was getting that interview. You know, I'm not a huge Rock fan, but he's good that interview. I love The Rock as a wrestler. I mean as even to this day, I'll go back and watch Rock Stone Cold shit talk videos. Like the wrestling itself, I think I liked when I was a kid because I like the backflips and people beating each other up. But I even as a kid, but even now, I like the shit talk better. Like the mic work is just so funny, and Stone Cold and the Rock are the best at it. For sure. They're so funny. They're the Muhammad Ali's of They're the best reference for that because they actually are funny. And as a documentary talks about like a bottle, Stone Cold stuff was just off the top of his hat. Yeah, you know, he's just making it up and he's like, yeah, I think I'm just striking golden. And when you hang out with him, he kind of has some like theo Vanism in him where I think just because he's from the South he'll just say shit, that's kind of funny, you know, but it's probably just shit, his dad said, probably maybe, you know, it's just like southern shit. Yeah, I forgot what he's like. He says, like, because we obviously had the pleasure of having him on our podcast and then I like sat in on one of his podcast and went to his house. He said, And it's probably like a wrestling line, but it comes from whatever. He said. You can't take the door, you could take the window, I don't care, but you gotta get the hell up out of here or something like that. And you know, you're like, oh the fuck. You know, it's just like funny shit that just but it rolls so smoothly out of him. Yeah, you just can't help it, like laugh and I'm like, fuck, dude, it's it is a talent. Uh. The last time that I saw him, spending a little over five years, UM didn't show with him, and he just gave

10:58 me shit the entire time. Yeah, he's funny. Man. Of all the targets in the room, he gave me shit the entire time. Yeah, and and not in a malicious way at all. He just was being funny. Yeah. I don't think I don't think you could ever take him. That's what's funny about it. It was like he is so intimidating. He's a big fuck because you think about wrestlers like all it's fake, Like no, bro, he's like sixty three two even still two twenty two thirty, Like he's a big fuck back in the day. Who knows what he was. And then and then he's talking aggressively too, like he's not always smiling, Like even his jokes are kind of like in character. Yeah, they're um um a little like flat. Yeah, yeah, they're like brash. He's brash, but he is joking and you can like feel it somehow, but you can't like see it if you're just a read body language, you don't. Yeah, And that's what they even said in the video in the beginning of the documentary is kind of poetic. Or he's just like a stonecold Steve Austin or he said like Steve Austin's a man outside of the ring, and Stonecold's the same man just in the ring depending on my environment or something like that. Yeah, I remember him telling us, I don't know it was the first show, which like okay, so our first podcast he was one of the first like twenty guests or something like that on the phone.

12:09 I can't remember if it was in that one or the later one where he talked about the fact that or maybe it was offline that WWE, at least at the time, owned Stone Cold. I know, I think every time you signed with the WWE, they own all that. I think the Rock had to buy a ship back. Yeah, as I get to buy the Rock back. But that's why he started his celebrity career as Dwayne Johnson, I believe, because I think I think that's just part of the contract, like, hey, we're gonna build you up with that characters. Yeah, owned by us, so the same idea, right, all the Stone Cold T shirts he probably got, He's like getting the whole cash. You know. Actually he got a lot more than that the whole time. Yeah, that was That's actually a story that he told him the first time that we um that it wasn't in this documentary, and I kind of expected it to be, but maybe they didn't want people to know. They talked about the numbers. They said he made like a mill and a quarter. The deal was, Um, he was like, I'm still not making any money.

13:05 Here and that. Yeah, the thing about the merch guy saying, you know, can we do a T shirt here? Yea, um, but he went to the w tw B and said, I need to get like a significant cut of the T shirts, more than ten percent. And I'm just saying they said okay, because they didn't they didn't know. Yeah you know, and he was yeah, on his rise. But I just mean in general, the WW acts as a large part of manager. That's all I meant. Oh, yeah, I know that that they're taking everyone like your your your name, isn't your name? Another crazy thing that they didn't talk about is that, um, I don't know what the case is today, but as as as of the last time I heard, UM, they're all independent contractors. They're they're they're not interesting, they're not employees.

13:48 So they just had a merger, right is it UFC in WW there was just like a merger. Oh, I don't know. I don't know if it was a sister company. I remember there was a big merger happening. I think it was w B and UFC, So that might play a role in some of that back end business shit too. And now I've never watched it, but I know some of the guys in there, you know, shut up to bron Stoneman Adam and other guys. Our world's just collide a lot with ww for some reason. I guess meatheads, Like wrestling is a thing you do when you can't go to the NFL, and power lifting is the thing you do when you can't go to the NFL. So you get like all the rejects. I don't really know why, but for some reason, we know. I know tons of people in there, and I think just all those guys are like lifters. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, my buddy Bronson's still find overseas or here. There's just a ton of people back and forth. Yeah. The merger combining UFC and WWE will operate under a new name, t KO Group Holdings, with plans to go public on the Stock Exchange before the end of twenty twenty three. Yeah, who knows what that'll bring. Endeavor owns UFC. Yeah, actual Dana I sold most of it. Yeah, and I think that McMahon is basically out of WWE.

15:01 Probably, I don't blame him. Yeah, Triple H looks like he's running the show. All that history is good. It was such a good era because there's so many like mega stars because they didn't even obviously Stone Cold in the Rock elevated things beyond and beyond, but like Triple H was famous as shit. You know. Yeah, there's so many people in their rakishi. There's a lot of people that had like big mainstream names and voices where now I don't know, maybe it's my age or who hang out, but don't I can't name nobody besides my friends in there. Yeah, you know, and you wonder how much that is is like storytelling. How much that is just general culture not attaching to it, or how much is that is like the talent that is stonecolding them. It's interesting too. I was looking through um his Wikipedia entry. Yeah, and someone has meticulously like followed every fucking storyline, I'm sure, and and documented it there. Wrestling fans are crazy, yeah, wrestling friends are crazy, so like I wouldn't be surprised, So I guess John Cena would be the other like superstar after them. But after that it kind of fell off too, you know, like name the Roman Rains. Yeah, I don't know if he's on that level. I don't know, he's a big name, he's related to the Rock, but I don't. I don't think. I don't think they hit the stardom like Sena and fucking Stone Colden Rock those three stick in my head and Holkogan yeah and yeah. Is that a talent thing or is that a business thing?

16:27 Or is that a culture thing? It's interesting too, m that the people that they talked to in this documentary, you know, the sort of famous wrestlers excuse me there, I mean cultural bias either, all very well spoken. Yeah, especially like the ones you don't think would be like the Undertaker, Mick Foley, Mick Foley so good, Yeah, mankind Cactus Jack like that was I don't know why. As a kid, I just remember laughing. I think I thought he was the craziest human on the planet. They're like that, like legitimately like decent actors, you know, like Stone Cold didn't have to act that much because it was just kind of him with a little attitude. They're all kind of same thing, like whether it's his letting his narcissism out or what. He was just kind of a cocky dude as a wrestler, but it played well. Some of the other guys. I guess we're a little corny. You look at like a Christian in Edge.

17:19 I don't know if you watched a lot during that era, but those guys were pretty popular too, and they were in a couple of movies and their acting was, yeah, a little more in corny, but someone were just so good. They're so good. Yeah, The Undertaker spoke really well, even obviously Vince McMahon. Yeah. All the shit they put Vince through is funny, like how we wanted to like write himself in but he just got beat up, right. Yeah, and his relationship, but his relationship was stone cold. Is something I didn't really know about because you always hear about that dynamic. We know, again, a lot of people in wrestling and kind of rubbed doubles with that whole world. The culture of that business just seems so weird, you know, like the hazing kind of but not hazing, like they don't purposely haze you, but you gotta fucking pay your dues kind of. You kind of come up with your own gimmick. You're like a writer and an actor and it's kind of like a team. You have to prove yourself, but you also just kind of like get lucky. Yeah, it just seems so complicated. I do wish I would have given it a go when I was like twenty Yeah, yeah, just like I would never want to live that life, like the road life as an adult.

18:19 Even as a kid, I probably would have hated it, but at least I would have like sucked it up and done it, because they literally are on the road, you know, three hunder days of a year. Yeah. The place that he started out wrestling, yeah, in Texas. The venue that they use in Heels looks so much like that, probably similar, And even the school, yeah, where he started wrestling looks like a shut out. Our buddy Luke Hawks Luke's drove me by his place in Louisiana once. We didn't go in, We just drove by it to look like that too, just like a square some up BILLI says, wrestling on the wall. But we should point out that Luke plays stone cold in Young Rock. Yeah, if Young Rock is still go on, I think it is.

19:00 I don't know. I heard good reviews of it, so you assume move. Yeah. Still Heels is about to come back some time next week or so. Yeah, I never watched any of those. I don't know why Heels is good. I mean, if if you like wrestling and you like wrestling compatible storylines. Yeah, and then there's actually good acting too, so you know, Stephen and Mel kills it. He's good. Yeah, And that's what everyone says about a even young Rock, that it was solid. I don't know, I think, yeah, I literally haven't watched Rustlom since I like, stop watching eighth grade. Yeah, start watching UFC and the w EC, and then that was it. Shout out to the short kings um uh Luke is considerably shorter than Yeah, he's probably right maybe, yeah, he's about five ebies. Yeah. Yeah, and Stonecold is a big bitch. But I'm sure they didn't get because I think the Rock six four two, Yeah, so I'm sure, like whoever plays a Rock isn't.

19:56 I mean, chances are just low, possible possible. What A thing that I was definitely struck by was having having talked to the guy, having hung out with him. I mean what you saw in the documentary that was that's pretty much how his Yeah he's good and he's good, he's raw. What I didn't know it is all like the mini adversities, and obviously that's what makes like a story or like how seemingly lost he was and felt in between gaps of work. Yeah, you know, even like pointed alcoholism and senses, but like even not like it's just so charming how he says it. He says something like I was say in the bottle harder than you might think or something. You know, You're like, wow, so you're saying you were drunk, you know, like rather than saying like I had problems with alcohol. Just how he says everything makes me giggle, even though he's like probably trying not to be funny, but I'm sure he was trying not to be funny. But the yeah, the thing about that that's interesting is like he has a beer now yea, and yeah his gimmicks beer yeah yeah, So like yeah, so is that a gimmick or or are you just chucking beer? Even because there was b roll of him walking into hotels and he had cans of be in his hand, I was like, well, listen to longer a gimmick like you're in a hotel, no one's around, Paparazzi's not around. He had two bears in his hands. I was like, well, yeah, and we've heard about the life similar to the American gladiator life that we we just covered like the road life does sound like, Yeah, you're just drinking and taking whatever pills allow you to breathe and not hurt, because because I'd imagine the pains in American gladia are probably similar to the pains in wrestling. Yeah, it's like, well the movie The Wrestler,

21:26 Yeah, that's actually supposed to be pretty accurate in a lot of ways, I'm sure, and even in like those ras, like because people are like, oh, well there's Monday Night Raw or whatever and then Thursday and it was a SmackDown. But I think they perform like six days a week because there's a lot of shows they'll they'll do with the big names at their house shows yeah that won't go end up on TV. Yeah, and those still flowing arenas or whatever or let alone. The pay per views hurt just as bad, oh yeah or more. Yeah, I mean all that hurts, like yeah, fake or not. I mean you're getting thrown through a table. Yeah, the table's probably semi flimsy to made to class, but you can't like it's not a balloon, yeah yeah, like, and it isn't two twenty pound man jumping on you, like I sure hurt. It's like I think it was one of the Vince mcman talked about getting kicked in the dick all the time. Yeah, that's gotta hurt. All the chairs you're getting hit with. Yeah, it is funny, it's don't called the One of the funnier parts was he was talking about He's like I started getting I was a professional at hitting people with things, So I started getting good at hitting people with things. He's like fucking testing toilet pans or bed pans on his head. Yeah, before he wants to smack mans, Like, that's gotta hurt. Yeah, to get that noise is gonna hurt. It's funny.

22:40 It is funny. The lengths they all went through, there's some incredible storylines and scenes like and I remembered some of them, like the Corvette getting filled up with cement. There was another one where I think he had a forklift, which is funny because in the documentary talks about working for a forklift company and being Hella good at it. But I think he's driving a forklift and tries to flip someone's truck or maybe beat through Vince McMahon or even the rock in a dumpster and then lifts it around with a forklift, just like the funniest shit. I don't know why. It was like hello, good memories and like prominent in my head because you don't watch reruns of that stuff. Yeah, I mean some people do no offense my wrestling nerds out there, but I do not watch the reruns of that. That was That was The beauty of it is that it was live, and it was weekly. It was reality TV, yeah, and there wasn't a lot of reality TV going on, And actually it's probably the most beautiful part of reality TV because it's scripted and we all kind of know it where every other reality TV scripted, but we pretend like it's not. Yeah, where this you kind of know, like, oh, something's gonna happen. Yeah, so good.

23:37 His iconic walk, everything about him is just so funny. I don't know why. I think too that if you have never sat very close to a ring during any kind of wrestling, but particularly w w E, you don't know how acrobatic and choreographed it feels and looks like you have to have some serious gills as opposed to not just don't just pain intolerance, but skills to pull off any of that. No, it's literally like dancing because like one dude's like leading and he you know when he grabs your left wrist and your right shoulder that this move is coming, but he's not telling you and it's not written down right, it's just like, all right, well now we're doing this, and you just kind of flow through whatever and the trust, Yeah, you know, because I'm trusting this dude that he knows how to do this move without killing me and he's about to throw me out the ring, which they talked about, I don't even know the guy was Owen.

24:30 What was the guy that actually fucking almost killed Stone cold Heart? Yeah, I think so, Yeah, Oh it was it was a Bret Hart. Yeah, I don't know that arrow was like a little early for me. And whoever it was, it was some big name because I know the name, but I didn't know the guy and Yang it was fucking Crystone Coold's head through the ground. I want no one's like gotting that fucked up though, right, because you'd imagine that'd be mainstream stories. I do think that it's happened. I don't know if it's happened at level. Yeah, probably those minor leagues, just like because there's so many moves that you're getting slammed on your head and one false move you're gonna get fucking Yeah. I mean he said he went number for a fucking day and um and ended up in the hospital. And like I think that like he really as much as he could possibly could. He just kept working through those injuries the way they do.

25:27 And part of the reason that that's the case is that like if you don't work, get paid. Yeah you got you know, I mean he had he talked about one guaranteed contract and that was it. Yeah, that's wild, right, and he's the guy. Yeah, yeah, I wonder if that stuff might be different now, you know, who knows, just because there's unions and obviously there were unions then too, but the business has grown so much, Right, the money didn't explode until that era. You know, it's probably hundreds and hundreds of thousands and now it's hundreds of millions. Um. Another part I found super interesting was that, um because from the outside, and you know, we knows m cold he does like two movies and you're like, ah, you know he sucks at movies or something.

26:10 He is just like the outside perception because like, oh, why wouldn't he keep doing them or why wouldn't he become a lead role? And he just straight up say he's like, yeah, I don't like movies, like I didn't want to act like that sucked. That wasn't for me. I just thought it's what I had to do. Was he in? Um? Oh my god? What was that series of movies that Stallone did? He was in like one or two of them? Expendables Expendable? Yeah, I think I think there was clips from that. There's a clips from Adam Sandler movie. I forgot which one, maybe one of the grown Ups or who knows the grown Ups five or some shit. Um, and like little stuff like that. But I mean, and some of it may be fun, some of them might be getting a little cash. But obviously he didn't enjoy it as much as Dwayne Johnson enjoys. Looking at himself. Uh yeah, what's the new movie? Dwayne Johnson just got the biggest movie guarantee pay of all time? Oh I don't even know. Yeah, fifty mill Who the fuck is doing that at this point? He's not that successful. I don't know if Disney, but I think it's I think it's like a new age Christmas movie. Okay, I think it's called Code Red or a red Coat or something. And he's like, I've only seen an article on it, but I assume it comes out this winner if they're teasing it. But he, uh, it looks like he's some kind of like Santa Bodyguard or like a Superman Santa. You know, he's wearing a red suit, but he's with Santa. But he's all jacked. He looks so jacked in the interviews.

27:30 He's got the tightest shirt on. I don't know how he could breathe of this documentary. He's so tight. And then I looked like it was painted on. Yeah, and then you see him and then you see him fifty years younger in the ring and he's all skinny fat. Sorry, rock dude, I'm sorry. We're gonna meet one day and I'll apologize to your face all the shit I talked but only tears face. Yeah, I mean, oh mean it if he's nice to me. But I've heard he's not even that nice. That's the that's the thing that justifies all my shit talk, because I've heard he's just not even that nice either. I got into Bleacher Report here and there's like an article of the fifteen worst um, professional wrestling injuries. Oh, I don't know about all that. Yeah, I mean there's the one mankind. Mankind got his front teeth shoved up into his nose.

28:17 That's iconic. I watched that live. I believe it. Lot of necks, yeah, I'm sure knees, that makes sense. Backs, neck for sure, nick and back and then scrapes and bruises. I'm sure every day Vince mcman tore both quads. Oh, I remember that in two thousand and five Royal Rumbull. You remember that. That's an ary. That's gotta be a little juice action. Sina and Batissa. Yeah, Brett Harts can cuss. Cactus Jack has his ear ripped off. Oh yeah, you can see in the interviews. Yeah, he's got no right ear right, that's fucking wild. Yes. Uh. Nineteen ninety four, Cactus Jack was in a match against Vader. During the match, Jack performed a hangman spot.

28:57 This spot consists of the head of the wrestler being tied up in the top two ropes. While trying to free himself from the ropes, Jack slid his head through the ropes, causing two thirds of Vizier to be removed. Yeah, WCW was known to use steel cables as the ropes. It also appears that in the video that the ropes were tighter than usual that night. Yeah, he like this should be documentaries on him. I'm sure there are. But he's like known for going crazy bashing himself the fucking two by fourign ship. He was always bleeding. That's the one thing you didn't You didn't see like the rock and then bleed so much. I wonder if he just like chose that, and I know they would do like little cuts, they would like cut themselves pre hands, so then it would bleed with pressure. Yeah, but some of that's got to be real and hurt, you know, like your nose, right, you just hit your nose on the man's gonna bleed, yeah, you know, Or yeah, you get your head bashing the ground or something like. Even those ropes, even if they're soft and they fix that technology, like you're slamming your body, it could easily just very at least bruise the funk out of you. They're flying out there, I mean, they did some crazy shit. They'd fly out of the ring in the audience. Yes, wrestling so weird. Who's the guy? Uh?

30:10 He was in the UFC for a second. He beat up a fan here, I think in the crowd, like for real, Funck was the name. All tadded kind of emo. He made it. He made a push in the UFC for a sec. But I think I think, oh, oh um um, see him punk, see him punk. Then he beat somebody up here in Sack. That's the possibility. I think it was Sacramento, and I think he's walking from the upper deck down, you know, talking shit as part of the script, and then someone pours a drink on him or shoves them, and then I think he turns around and socks the guy for real. I mean, like that's what people don't understand about like USC guys if you're testing them in public or or WW guys like these aren't your normal Like some of them are great people. I'm not saying they're all bad, but they're not like you're. They're not programmed the same as us, like they're they're they're like extreme athletes. Yeah, you should probably treat him aside. Yeah, like I'm born even in the NBA, Like they're just built different than the regular humans. You're gonna talk kind of shit, They're gonna come after you. You know, there's a clip from I might even I don't think it was the All Star Game, but it was maybe the playoffs or some fan ended up in like the VIP hallway talking to Russell Westbrook who's like this fat little dude and Russell Westbrook out enough if it stood up and came out, I'm like, all right, Like now what like, dude this you know this dude's from like south central LA. Like you're about to get your ass beat. Yeah, and they're humans too, That's what's like. I get you think it's a show, and it is, but like people are crazy, they kind of deserve to get punch in the mouth. The real surprise to me still after all these years, is

31:41 that people are so invested in stuff is not not real but clearly not real, like WB Yeah, yeah, I think because of the storylines. So it's just like to me, two different styles of marketing. You invent a storyline and then let your characters run in the WWE and then in the NBA, storylines are like kind of there and then you bellisham, but like the feelings the same. I was thinking about that too watching this, Like I was like, I do understand why people watch this. I understand why people watch it. It's it's not something that like I've ever really concentrated much on, Like I watched wrestling as a kid, you know, I watch The Rock's Dad. Yeah. Um and and I'll i'll kind of all that Eric because my grandmother lived with this and she was into it, so yeah, um and and she used to she used to go when it was in Stockton all the time, like like she lived in this senior community and they would just take a bus and just you know, that's fun. Yeah. Now, I mean I don't know about here actually, uh, because I feel like that it did kind of die off after Stone Cold and I'm obviously I don't have kids, and I'm older, but it feels like the culture in general is not as popular. You know. I remember going through Target and they'll be stone Cold and Rock dolls and posters and shit everywhere. It's not like it's not like I'd still be yeah, probably, but there's more You're more likely to see a Rock or Stone Cold one than like some other guy or whoever's the next guy. And then yeah, yeah, Sena had a good run and did some business stuff and then even even our my buddy Adam liked had a good run, like he was really popular on the internet and ship. You know, he's ex strong man, got injured and beat up

33:12 and tried out. That's when I actually met him. I met him at the Arnold. He was just quote unquote or like ending his strong man career and they had WWE, which is genius. They had WWE tryouts at Oh I remember that, Yeah, yea, yeah, so I met Adam there, dude, the world so small. Then Adam Bronze Stowman. For those wrestling fans out, there's his name, Adam. Then it turns out he grew up next door neighbor to my manager at Rebox Shout out Andrew, which is totally disconnected. And Andrews like, oh yeah, dude, I remember going on walks in my street and seeing the six foot seven man throwing kegs in front of his front yard in North Carolina. They were just neighbors. I was like, that's fucking weird. But even Adam, obviously he wasn't on the level of the rock and then. But he's popular. You know, he's got a big Instagram. They promote him on commercials. Who might see him in like Dorito's commercial here and there or something. But the celebrityhood of the Rock and Stoneholder insane, and like I was saying, people buying into the storyline so much. I'd be like seeing you know, Christian Bale at a hotel bar and deciding that he's either Bruce Wayne or Batman and interacting with him that way. Yeah, I mean, I don't think that's that far fetched either, but probably people do it. It's still weird. Yeah, it's weird. It's weird, but people probably do. Yeah. It is a little bit more obviously connected than those because that's all you know them as. But even even old celebrities. Christian Bale is a good example,

34:43 not old celebrities, but like celebrities that don't dive into social media. It's I feel like easy to attach that, right, It's not like Christian you know Christian Bale from his YouTube vlog. You don't know Christian Bale. You know Batman? Yeah you know, and so like, yeah, you don't really know like Stevie Williams, you know, fucking stone Old. I picked Christian Bale because I don't think anyone would do this to Ben Affleck because he's a fucking monster. He's huge. Yeah, yeah, Christian Bale is tall, yeah, just skinnier, yeah much Yeah, yeah, Ben Ben. I mean a lot of those guys they look like fucking NFL players, and Stone Cold had some good athletics. Yeah, I don't know. Uh, it is weird that it's so scripted people buy in, But again, the drama is eerily similar to what the NBA and NFL try to build, right Steph Curry versus Lebron James and they build all this stuff up and oh did you see Steph tweeted this and they said that, And now with social media they're even better at it. And I mean it's old. This is an old like almost as old as civilization kind of thing. Yeah, where UMU storylines are presented that appeal to some people at one level and other people at a different level. Yeah, like fucking Shakespeare right that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I was surprised at um because several years five years ago, we went to um the Old Globe in London and saw a play that

36:15 Shakespeare co wrote, and It's something that I'd never heard of before. But all the people that are the groundlings, people who are standing, the way that they interact with the people on the stage yeah, yeah, yeah, and apparently it was always like that Yeah yeah yeah, interactive like yeah, like stand up comedy you expected or something, and and actors played to those. Yeah, they didn't necessarily play up. They played down because they could get you know, interaction kind of like crowd work. That is kind of the genius I guess of the WW is the crowd is a character. Yeah, right, where the NBA, NFL it's not. And so like yeah, to buy in in fact, you don't want any professional sport you don't want yeah, yeah, they kind of negate it. Yeah, yeah, it'd be like I bet you you know, I don't know the other term, but like per capita or per fan of WW versus any other sport.

37:06 Like the amount of people wearing merch and buying merch is probably a way higher probably, you know what I mean. Like if you're a stone cold fan, you're fucking in. Yeah, like you got everything, like and they showed it. They signs and I've been to a couple of lot of you've been to a couple of love, Like, yeah, the amount of signs you see the fans are crazy and it probably is because of that crowd work esque type vibe. And they play into all that what it is to me and what I enjoy about it all is also like the sociology of it all. And then they talk about it a little bit here, but like like the Stone Cold Sea and the Rock do one thing, like oh yeah, there's something there, you know, like you can just feel that, Oh, the crowd's either gonna love you or hate you, it doesn't matter. But there you you've got them. You just have to like give them bait.

37:47 If they buy it, you're kind of in. And maybe that's what the we're missing now is like the gimmicks aren't as strong, or maybe aren't as unique, or maybe maybe you can't repeat them, you know, maybe they're maybe it is dead just because we've done so many Now that's a good possibility because even like you said, like wrestling in this nature has been a thing for closing in probably one hundred years, you know, probably forty fifty sixty you know where it started, and obviously it's evolved. But yeah, I do wonder how many arenas they sell out or what they're The other one is um uh Andy guitar player Andy. He made a big push in the WWH. Yeah, I wonder the guy from Every Time I Die. Yeah, because they that league came out of nowhere and made a big push WCW.

38:34 Was it WCW again, that's a good question, or ECW one of the older ones made a huge push because I think they signed a contract with TNT or Spike or something, and I feel over the last ten years they almost overtook the w W for a second, or at least became an equal because during the Attitude era and when I watched, the other league was a piece of shit. That's where you went to retire, that's where you went to die. I think that I didn't see in this as much may be really even at all, is that when you talk to Steve in person, he talks about the history of of professional wrestling and his career like he's talking about fucking civil war or yeah they're in it. Yeah, they talked about it. I guess a little bit in the beginning when his family said, like, oh, Steve said he's going to be a wrestler from like seventeen.

39:27 Yeah, you know, so at least maybe they hinted at his interest to study the you know, the the actual art as an art, as a history. That's what I love about all this stuff is like the culture, you know, like powerlifting, I like all the old cats. Do I watch him? Do I know him? Obviously I got the privilege over the years to meet a bunch of them. But it's weird to me to love powerlifting, and we see this more and more. You love powerlifting more the shit. The kids in our gym love power listing more than I do, and they don't know the history and they don't care to know. But I'm like that with everything, like like hip hop music, I like clothing, so I dive into like the history and the tale. So because I think you do have to know like where we've been to know where we're going or what's going on now. So I think The Rock was obviously born into it, so he probably has all that history. I feel like, to be good at anything, you have to do that. Yeah. I feel like if between say the Rock and Stone Cold, the one to me most likely to have retained all the details of every fucking match his stone Cold.

40:32 Yeah. Maybe I have heard a lot of wrestlers just talk like that. They're like obsessive, you know, like you kind of kind of like sports games. You know. Oh, I remember when I played San Francisco Giants and eighty five. Yeah, I threw like this, like I feel like when you're a real student of the game and your student of yourself. Yeah, you just have weird memories like that, because that's how you get better. You know, you've you've watched the tapes. I'm sure wrestlers watch the tapes like any other sports, you know, because that's how you learn. Oh, I did this wrong. I landed weird here. I didn't give a good enough the hell happened there? Yeah? I can't even tell, because sometimes you can't your eyes are not in the right spot, especially wrestling, you know, you're getting flipped around and yeah, I don't know. It is an interesting thing. The mystery to me is like why he hadn't broken through before that one point, because he was the same guy the Austin three sixteen. Yeah, I mean maybe the gimmick, right, a little bit of the gimmick. It sounds. I don't know the exact timeline because they didn't give like dates on this thing, but being like stunning six nine seven something like that. Yeah, but being stunning Steve, the timeline of Stunning Steve to turn into stone cold, to turn into the Austin three sixteen.

41:37 I don't know those gaps, yeah, because it might have been it might have it might have been soon. It might have been a gimmick, right my point, Like he might have turned into Stone Cold and then it caught fire. Yeah, I don't know because I never watched Stunning Steve. That's before my time for sure. Yeah, when he he um the way he told the story about that at night, Yeah, in the documentary is pretty much the way I heard it directly from him. Yeah, too, It is funny. It is so funny. I didn't know it was against Jake the Snake. I didn't really know Jake the Snake. My dad would like joke about him, but I didn't know Like those talking about timelines like, I didn't know those timelines overlap at all. Oh yeah, yeah.

42:19 I thought Jake the Snake and he was obviously on the end of his career here in that time, but I thought he was much older and he was Stone Cold was young. But um, I didn't understand how guys like The Undertaker went on for as long as they did forever just a savage Yeah, I'm sure Triple H still like does Vince mcmonny type things and hops in the ring here and there, like I think it was even The Rock. I mean The Rock was in WrestleMania like within the last three years as like a featured guest. What happened to Ronda Rousie that was supposed to be the Oh, I don't know. And Jacob Paul, Like they're pulling all the weird strings. They signed Jake Paul, they just signed. There's these two basketball twins. They were I swear they're out here for a second. They might have been at Fresnow. Oh maybe there was two that went viral on TikTok or like built a big following on TikTok and they were actually good at basketball.

43:04 I think they're at Fresno. Then they transferred to a Universe in Miami. I think they just graduated. But I think that WWE signed them to a contract, like a ten year contract. Jesus. Yeah, and they've they've like never wrestled, and they're gonna like dabble and see what it is or something. But yeah, getting Jake Paul, I mean, it's smart craps social media people, right, anything you're gonna do. I've in the in the past ten years, I've been reached out to a bunch of from reality TV shows, right, because like, if they're gonna have random people on there, might as well get random people with a little bit of a following. It's gonna be auto better for your The Rocks show, what the Cold the Gladiator type show? Whatever the fucking Rocks Gladiator type show, Titan Titan Games. The Titan Games they always signed like cross fitters and lifters with a little bit of a following. Like it all makes sense, but um, it doesn't seem to have paid off for the WB so far. Something I didn't read this is a side. But something I've been hearing about lately is like, um, big auto manufacturers doing basically car launches with but they have like a social media influencer day. Yeah, and these are not even necessarily people who are in that vertical yeah space, you just need eyes, I mean the beauty of cars though, right as everyone drives one. Yeah right, that'd be the same thing as like a restaurant or like there's certain things. You don't have to be a content creator in that space. You just have eyes because everyone eats, everyone likes cars, or everyone needs a car whether they like them or not. Yeah, it makes sense. It is like the cheapest form of marketing from a business sense. Right, You're

44:36 gonna pay ten million dollars to get a spot on primetime television plus another million to shoot the commercial or I made those numbers up, but you know what I mean, and then who knows what your return is? Or you pay ten grand and get someone with a million followers just come drive your car on a track for fun and Volgin and yeah, you know it's it's gonna be a lot more entertaining, a lot cheaper, a lot us up keep. It does all make sense. And I understand that the social media requirements are pretty low too. It's like, you know, a couple Instagram posts or yeah, a lot of it's probably just who you know. Yeah you know, it's all who you know and your engagement. And the lists should get on yeah, one d percent because there's so many. I was just talking to the team yesterday about marketing and stuff and how different the game is now where more sponsorships. It was in the very beginning sponsorships weren't paying because they couldn't afford it, and they couldn't get they couldn't track the ROI because codes and stuff weren't as popular. Then it became an era where there's you know, there's when I had one hundred thousand followers on Instagram, I was probably in the point oh one top percent. You know, Kim Kardashian had like three million, So like that ratio is insane. I was on our Ass No Fun and then player room there yeah, and then now now one hundred thousand on Instagram's a dime a dozen. Yeah, So why why would these marketing companies start handing out six figure checks when if you don't want to work with me, I'll just go on to the next person one one hundred thou Yeah, you know, so all the requirements for that's slightly getting lower.

46:02 Not that it's bad, it's not good. It's just part of the evolution of of marketing and what taking of four. But yeah, if BMW can launch a new M three and have one hundred people there all with fifty thousand followers for free, someone might do it for free just for the content. Yeah right now, now you're now you're under five million. I don't know if I did that math right, but the five million eyes right, one hundred times fifty thousand, it's probably like five million. Just ad Dicks for zero Yeah, I can't do it, little brain right now. But five million is impressions, yeah for free, right, you know, to get five million impressions on a YouTube video or a TV commercial, you're paying millions. Outside is Stone Cold? You have a favorite character in this? I don't know about in this, but generally, actually I liked Stone Cold a lot, but I was a rock fan, oh ironically, yeah, growing up. I love the battles there. I love like the Stone Cold Rock.

46:51 They teamed up for like, you know, three months and then they hate each other the rest of the time. I just love the bickering they had in the show. Probably Stone Cold, you know. I just other than Stone called Yes, yeah it's too hard, I like Stone called Mick Foley. Yeah, Mick Foley's good. Undertaker's interviews were good even though the Rock, despite me being a half ironic hater, his interviews were good, you know, and it felt it felt my heart felt as heartfelt as he could give it. M Yeah, it felt genuine the Rock talking about him, because even Stone I think we might have asked him on their offer and they always said he always kind of said they had a good relationship. But he never said like their besties. And that's what it kind of felt like, like the mutual respect and trust was so high, yet they're not like best friends a thing that that that you really have to be paying attention to get out of this. I thought was that is how much of a business head stone call is if you meet him in person, you have a conversation with him, you know this, it's like, whatever is necessary to make the business part work, he's willing to do, even if it is not, you know, something that he would love or enjoy. I don't think that he loves or enjoys social media that much, but as part of the game, and so he does it and and really with kind of without complaint.

48:04 It seems like, Yeah, I wonder if that's just part of growing up and wrestling, like all the hazing stuff, like because you really are an entrepreneur yea on your own, absolutely growing through the WWE. So I think that's probably just like I'm sure that's what bread the Rock success. And and I guess, uh, through the lens of what I just said, looking at the way he talked about about seeing the Rock you know, at the beginning of his career and knowing that he had something that's that's a business instinct. Yeah, and entertainment, Yeah, we go, well, this guy's got something. This is a horse movie, we can ride? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it turned out they got along well enough, like Vince mcmaan even camped in on that, and so he like whether or not this was somebody who was going to be his best friend, it was somebody that could be a partner in business in a way, right, especially wrestling. Yeah, it's it is kind of secretly genius because like there can't be one guy in wrestling, and maybe that's the difference between these two and like a Seni or what's going on now is you you need you know, the Lex Luthord to the Superman like otherwise wrestling doesn't work like who And maybe that is kind of the issue that's going on right now. They always could find like one ish star, but where's the counterpart to make it tie together a long term And they were just lucky er in that time probably too, right. They had Triple H who was huge, Big Show who's still a huge undertaker, Cane, like, they had a bunch of the most iconic names that were all physically and some good on the microphone, and these

49:35 two were just at the top top. So it's the same with sports, right if if it's just Lebron James and everyone else sucks, that's kind of like the Bill Russell thing argument from my basketball. It's like Bill Russell was amazing, but like who's around his era, he's just shitting on everybody. It doesn't build the Magic Johnson Larry Bird tower, right, you know, it doesn't build the Kobe Jordan although they were passing ships career wise, but it doesn't build like that tower. So yes, it's kind of gene of him to know that to put his shit on that next, next, next level, he needs an equal. Yeah, he said. He did say that. He talked like who his opponents were were the most Well, that was the most important thing. Yeah, because like you can't perform if you're if you don't, you're not feeling it. And that's kind of what led to like the first big disagreement, right, even though brock Lessner was a big name, but he didn't want to find him. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, the business is just so interesting and there's so many like unspoken rules, and I'm sure so many unspoken rules at this documentary isn't even that accurate. There're shit they probably couldn't even talk about or didn't want to talk about. I'm sure there's dirty business going on. Oh, I'm sure. I was blown away that I never heard the word kfebe and the whole thing it's kabeu. Oh you don't know. I don't know.

50:46 Okay. Kfebe is is essentially when you're you're playing out a scenario and so you commit to that and you don't ever back off of it. It's like if if in the in the ring. Yeah, okay, it's like wrestling related. It's related. I should probably actually look up the real definition. But like, okay, so if you're you deal with someone and and you know them and everything's cool, but the characters that you play are at odds with each other. They're at odds all the time. Anyone can see, Like any anyone can see nobody can break kfebe. Yeah. Yeah, like uh yeah yeah. Character acting or whatever it's called up. Yeah, but yeah, like totally yeah, like like method acting, yeah, method acting, except that you're it's one hundred percent of the time. Yeah, it's my boy, Jim Carrey. It's probably why can't Jim. You ever watched the documentary about Andy Kaufman. I haven't seen it. I probably should.

51:46 It's got Jim Ross in it. If we want to tie into wrestling, because Andy Kaufman had a real it goes beyond Andy Kaufman had a real life grudge with Jim Ross. Jim Carrey went in public and talk shit on Jim Ross to his face. He like continued the beef. Yeah, I came that close to meeting any Kaufman. I was in the same place as Any Kaufman. Yeah, yeah, I was in When I was seventeen, I worked in a restaurant in uh in the Harris Casino and Reno, and he was in the middle of the night. Oh interesting, they're probably doing drugs. And one of my friends got his autograph and I was like, I'm not gonna fuck with any coffin. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. But yeah, yeah, like method acting, that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. I mean that's probably Yeah, well, you just find ways at the Rock and Stone Cold. That's probably why they didn't couldn't become best friends. Yeah, maybe they could have been, But yeah, if you can't get caught in a restaurant together because you're supposed to be enemies tomorrow.

52:38 Well that was the that was the thing about um oh my god, who was supposed to to get Wayne King of the Ring? And then and they did the friends they broke cafebe on Yeah you know in the show. Yeah, that was just like a weird sprinkle they put in there, Like I wish they would have doven in a little more. Obviously it's a side tangent because it's not about Stone Cold, But I think that's kind of like what started to build Degeneration X, which was a big piece of Latitude era. Yeah, like the suck It in the China porn, all that, all that wraps up into that. That was one of the first celebrity porns.

53:19 I think, Oh yeah, I think I don't know. Yeah, it was like the first sex day before Pam and Tommy probably similar, right, maybe so late nineties, Yeah, it was probably similar era. Yeah, it was like what's the name xpoc xpoc in China? Yeah, weird, it's really weird. Yeah, I didn't know all those names too. Was it Steve Nash not Steve Nash, something Nash, Kevin Nash. Okay, it was part of that. He won the do you run the rumble with Triple h Okay, he was one of his best friends in real life. That broke all that, Okay, yeah, yeah, and then they made Degeneration X, which was like I guess gang in the WB whatever they look at but like four dudes. Yeah, yeah, were they sold a ship ton of T shirts too, that whole area because yeah, they did monetize well, they got video games. Video games were huge in that era.

54:08 I played a ship ton of w W video games, merge hats. It's funny. I haven't been shit Bry since twenty sixteen, whenever scene was wrestling. Yeah, I haven't been since seen it. Yeah, maybe twenty fifteen. I was gonna go this last time. I have some buddies in it still, but I don't know if they're on tour like that. I just don't think it's Yeah, I don't think it's what it used to be. Muh okay, let's wrap this one up. Well, we've been talking about a biography channel documentary on Stone Cole Steve Auston that is now on YouTube and I as of last night over the course of like two days, and it had over three hundred thousand views. It's pretty good. For a YouTube.

54:52 I think that maybe this was on the Biography channel maybe twenty twenty, twenty twenty one something like that, and and just Jes came out on on YouTube. But uh yeah, so it's free, free all, Yeah, it's free with a lot of commercials. Yeah, good lord, there's a lot of commercials that YouTube money. I don't blame them. Fucking get your bag WWD thing, Yeah I don't. I don't blame him either. Um. We typically rate these movies, um on some scale that I just pull up out of my head. I'm gonna go with crushed beer cans on this one. Um. It's hard because this is maybe one of the first ones that I'm a fan of what we were talking about. Yeah, like not I'm a fan of golf, but I'm not. I was, I was, I'm a fan of golfing, I'm not a fan of following golf. I like sports, but I don't love tennis. You know, some of the stuff we've covered hasn't been like in my alley where I'm I am one obviously we know him, um, and then meeting the person and being a fan, and then being a fan after I meet the person, Like that's a rare lineup, so it's hard to like judge because I was highly entertained.

56:02 Um, I might give it like four, I'm might give it four out of five crushed beer cans, I was gonna say four as well. Yeah, it's it's incredibly well produced. It's very streamlined though, because there they they left out a whole lot of characters. Long for sure, sure, Yeah, but we always complain about ship being too long, Like if they made this three one hour series, yeah, it probably suck. You know, it's like a perfect amount of time. Yeah, you get the story. It ends kind of abruptly, like all of it is, Like you said, it's scripted well, which which is always gonna want you leaving more rather than you being flooded. So um yeah, overall, good shot, well, good footage, some footage that's really famous, some footage that's you've never seen before, you know, so like some cool be roll in there, a little bit of business talk. Yeah, it was good. It was good. I think even if I wasn't a stone cold, I'd probably still give it like a three and a half four. Yeah, no, I agree, And all of the more recent stuff that was shot with him is like that's the guy. Yeah, I met. I don't know where he is now. I heard he was in Reno for a bit because I think he sold his Texas ranch. If he is in Rino, I think he is in Reno. Yeah, I believe.
