Part 1: 67 Steps to Getting Anything You Want Out of Life Health, Wealth, Love, & Happiness with Tai Lopez

Transcript

The following program is a podcast, one production from Hollywood, California, by way of the Broken Skull Ranch. This is the Steve Austin show. Give me a hell. Yeah, yeah. Now here's Steve Austin. All right, gang, let's get this podcast going. I'll tell you what, man. It's been a rough date remain. Kids are having a hard time getting rolling here instead of firing on eight cylinders. I think I'm hitting on six had a couple of clubs. Garvey had my alpha brain and still not running on his shoulders. But you know, that open was a little bit discombobulated, so most doors didn't roll off the tongue like I thought they would. But nonetheless, we're going to motor through and get things going here and answer some of the questions you guys sent in. But before we do that, you know, there's one thing I didn't mention on that open is today's date, as I recorded podcasts as three 16, 15 March of 16 3:16. So man, I've gotten only about three or four thousand tweets today saying, Hey, happy stone cold day or Happy Steve, awesome day, whatever. I'll tell you what, I'm not the one and admitted his holiday. I guess it just kind of been bestowed upon me by you guys and gals. So anyway, thanks for all the happy 36 things. I always get a kick out of it. I don't make a big deal out of it, but it's fun to see all the tweets and all that stuff and all the support. So anyway, I appreciate everybody to watch me, you know, doing all the stuff I did back in the day with WWE. Yeah, I had a lot of fun doing it and stone cold Steve Austin and Manatee. What go on today? Going to work every day was a was a was a dream come true. So I had a good time back then and glad you still remember. But anyway, you know, I sent out a tweet on my Twitter account and Steve Austin BSR Hey, if you've got a question him on and to question to Steve Artichokes. Y'all sent me some questions. So I'm going to kick back here on my couch and answer a few of them for you. And this first question comes from Dallas over in Detroit, Michigan, the Motor City. And he said, Hey Steve, what's your opinion on Shane Olmak doing all those high risk moves like jumping off the Titan Tron and other things? Why would he do this when he didn't need to and was worth all that money? Plus, do you think Shane will ever return to WWE? I liked when he went coast to coast on his dad swigging beer for the working man way Dallas was. Talk about what Shane O Mac did. You know, I think when he did all the high risk stuff, you know, the titan Tron, all those crazy bumps, you know, that was kind of his gimmick. I mean, not in the vein of a Mick Foley because, you know, Mick Foley could work his a*s off. And of course, he had been doing all those bumps for years and years and years. But I think it was kind of the the wow factor that Shane brought to the table and he could work had had a good working punch, and he could sure work not like an accomplished in-ring hand, but he could carry his part of the match. And that was a part of the allure of the attraction that he was going to be a part of. And it became his gimmick. And when you say he was worth all that money, it didn't matter if Shane wouldn't have had, you know, a pot to piss in or he was worth a lot of money with what his stock or whatever, or just being part of the McMahon family. Shane was very hungry as a performer, and it was always fun to do business with that guy because he would go to the end degree to do whatever it took, just to make the people say wow or to give them a big moment in a match that they could enjoy. And sometimes, you know, when he was walking the hill, there was that big payoff, bob. And sometimes, you know, just that's what he brought to the table and his hunger to please the crowd was why he did that. It didn't make a damn what it was worth. That's the kind of performer that it was. And of course, when you talk about that coast to coast thing, that's when Shane would get on one turnbuckle position someone all the way across on the same side, on the other turnbuckle, and that's a 20 foot jump. And he would jump and usually position at trashcan right in front of someone's head and go coast to coast. I'll tell you what, that's a hell of an athletic feat. And you've got a hell of a hell of a lot of spring in your feet and your legs to be able to jump that far and execute that move and not kill the other guy. So he was an athletic guy, a ton of energy, a lot of heart who wanted to entertain the fans and would break his back his body to do so. And that's what he did. Will he ever return to the WWE remains to be seen. You know, I got to ask you the day I was on MMA Hour with bars Rutten, how I thought you know, C.M. Punk would do and UFC on his first fight. And I'm like, you know, to be determined, you know, we don't know until it happens. And so with regards to Shane, you know, we don't know until it happens. So we'll just sit around and I wouldn't hold your breath. I don't anticipate him coming back. I think he's doing really well on his own. I think he's probably. On one hand, enjoyed his time away from the company, but I'm sure on one hand, you know me thinking out loud that he'd probably like to return, but you know, I'm sure that they would have to be under his terms, his conditions and the way the landscape, the lay of the land. Is there currently worth Triple H and Stephanie, you know, seemingly no, the heir apparent to everything that is WWE, you know, who knows if that will ever happen? And I don't want to get too deep into their family matters. But again, don't don't hold your breath on him returning. He was a great performer. He went out of his way to please the people. That's why he took those bumps. Hey, appreciate the email, Dallas. All right. Let's move on to the next question. Happy 3:16 Day, Steve Hope it's your best day and the best way I know you, like many of us, was glad to see Macho Man Randy Savage is going to be inducted in the class of 2015. WWE Hall of Fame. My question is of the old school, is there anyone you would like to see inducted that you feel never got the credit they deserve? I really hope the Freebirds make it soon. Got to go. Don. Hey, Don, thanks for the email ! And then she said any word on Redneck Island? I don't know about Redneck Island. I haven't heard. But let's get back to the question there before you went to the press. I'll tell you what, when you just say, you know, you brought the fabulous Freebirds up. Yeah, the free birds got to go into the Hall of Fame. No ifs, ands or buts. They're Hall of Fame members and Dallas, Texas, is going to be where WrestleMania is next year. So I think they're going in Dallas. That was a territory for me. You know, I saw the most of them out there. I was at North Texas State University driving up there to sport a tornado watch and put on one hell of a show. And what a trio those guys were with Michael P-series talking all that trash and the bad a*s outfits, robes haired the persona, the swagger, Terry Bam, Bam, Gordy, the tough guy, the group. But of course, you know Buddy Roberts, everybody thought they could kick Buddy Roberts ass, and he was a heat seeking missile. And as a unit, those three guys and Michael Hayes, one of the best promos in the history of the business, and no one ever seems to want to bring him up in a promo conversation. But that guy could talk a lot of trash, and then Freebirds could go out there and back it up so they could work into the building with what they did in the ring, with their opponent in the nick and talk into the ring with the rap on a mic and of course, Michael Hayes leading the charge. And I'll tell you what. Going back to the Mid-South Power Pro days when I was finally starting to get them down here and Edna, Texas, when I started doing color commentary with the one and only Jumpin Jim Ross White Babyface from Norman, Oklahoma man, they made for a great one-two punch. And so I really loved Michael on a stick way back then. He was a great commentator. So in a way, it's surprising to me. With Andrews at Michael PS Hayes had what would have happened had he stayed in the business longer than he did. Because when he got out, as I talked to him at WrestleMania 30, you know, a year ago, he left and he let the business man in his late thirties. So I mean, he started early, but he finished fast. So if you've got a couple more years, that would be interesting to see what he did. But anyway, Hall of Fame guys right there and then, you know what? I won't tag teams the Midnight Express. I mean, when are you going to put them out? You might as well put them in ASAP. That would be Dallas. Hey, man, why not make Dallas the kind of a tag team Hall of Fame type gimmick? Because you got the Midnight Express, it got to go in. You got the fabulous Freebirds who got to go in and you got the rock and Roll Express who absolutely have to go in. And so those are three right off the top of my head, Don. And those were all tag teams. If I sit here and try to rack my brain about singles, I could come up with a couple as well, but I'm going to move on down the line. Those three tag teams, and certainly, man, they all had different kinds of runs. And of course, rock and roll were, you know, pretty much babyface our entire run. And of course, Ricky Morton white babyface. Get the heat on him or double set a heat start off on Robert and then shifted to Ricky and God dang man to fire that they had the battles that they had with ARN and Ollie Anderson and aren't. And Tully Blanchard and Mance. Jesus Christ, who else, Dave? I mean, the Midnight Express. I mean, those two feuding together with the rock and roll, that was money any way you put it so. And you know, of course, the Freebirds over at the Von Erichs, just bad a*s stuff. Those three teams, those six guys. And obviously, you've got to throw Mr. Jim Cornette in the Hall of Fame as well on a greatest Nasir's when the greatest trash talkers, non-stop gab guys I've ever heard in my life, that guy used to irritate me so much when he cut his promos. I would just like, man, anybody, somebody do something to shut this guy up. And he was doing his job. He was getting heat for his guys, and that's what he did. And I've said many come out there with that loaded tennis racket. And he was a heat seeking missile. And so but one other thing, and when you talk about the Midnight Express, I didn't get a chance to see. I think it was it Pat Rose, who's one of the original members. But, you know, I think you've got to go three members there with the Midnight Express. You've got to go lover boy Dennis quandry, beautiful Bobby and Stan Lee and such a three man induction for me because that's what I remember CNN man. And it's hard to pick out of those two combinations. I don't know. Norville Austin was in earlier, but I didn't really see his work. But when you talk about that particular team loverboy Dennis, beautiful Bobby and beautiful Bobby and sweet stan latest and Scanlon was awesome with Bobby, but Bobby was the glue. You know, he was the common thread between both those teams because he was with both guys. But I just loved all of the work that those guys put together in which ever fashion that they tag team up in. And of course, you know, I love what this country went on and did some other things, but those guys go in and I'll move on down the road. And go to the next question, appreciate it, Don. I always see on Twitter our appreciation and question in. And here's a question it comes from Kurt. He says, Steve, hey, I'm a huge fan of the podcast. Now you've got my dad and I in a broken skull challenge. So thanks for all you do. I'm a psychologist for living, and I'm always interested in hearing about ring psychology. Can you expand on this topic a bit? And how your psychology and a ring may differ from other top pro wrestlers? Thanks again, Kurt. Man, Kurt, really, man, psychology of a ring is a supple and complex discussion. The simple part of it is, you know, psychology entering is what you do to elicit a response. And then based on that pace, your match make good decisions and to which direction you go. And so, you know, in a traditional format of a match, got a bad guy and a good guy, you're going to start wrestling, OK, we've got a 10 minute match. This is the basic brass tacks babyface is going to shine. OK? That's just part of the match. Then the heel is going to cut him off, get a little bit of heat and then the heel to get a couple of hope spots in there where the babyface almost able to get away but always gets healed back into heat. So the heel still beating up the babyface. And then finally, something happens and the babyface Katie Bar the door goes into a manic comeback and starts given everything the heel gave him back to him. And then you go into after the comeback, you're finish and you're going to have false finishes along the way. And either, you know, the heel is going to go over with some heat by screwing the babyface babyface when clean with his finish or catch a quick one on the heel into a disqualification. Someone runs in. But the psychology comes in how you execute all these different facets of this match. And Shannon, up your guy, you know the the the way you call your Highspots, the way you lay your match out. You get your basic template. But how you go about making your decisions in the ring as your psychology? And so like when you look at some of the 30 60 minute matches, of course, you know that Ric Flair had way back in the day. And if you watched a kind of a standard, if I would use that word Ric Flair match, a lot of times, you know, they're going to start off, it's going to be paced, you know, a little bit slower, but they're looking to go an hour. And when Ric Flair work, it was always action packed because the guy could go like nobody's business, and he'd usually start off on a different body part. He might start off work in a headlock or arm or something like that while he was trying to shine that babyface up and going to his initial heat. But you knew when he said into the heat on the leg that that was that final real set of heat that he was going to work out of. So he's making decisions. And you know, Shannon, this guy up listening to the crowd, you know, keeping the babyface on top, cut him off, getting on top himself, then slipping and letting that babyface come back out on top. Keep shining him and then ground down into that heat gone to the comeback. So psychology is all about manipulating the people, the crowd in attendance, listening to what they're giving you after you've done something and making those decisions. I could talk about it forever and ever and ever and again, going back to some of those long Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels matches, you know, kind of the way that, you know, they worked the crowd and a back and forth faction. And when those guys were working, there was actually a little bit of heat between them, which was very interesting because you think and work atmosphere, you've got two guys that have a little heat between them. Oh man, it's going to be a good match. And not necessarily so because there's cooperation in a match. And if one guy's married, the other one thinks might not actually turn out so good because one guy might get a little bit selfish. But when you talk about Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, whatever the issues were between them and that would be better. I'll have to tell you that than I would. But everybody knows a little bit of heat. They're both guys were, you know, at the end of the day before the Montreal screw job, the customer pros and how they executed his matches. And they were all, you know, four or five star kind of matches that, you know, guys that quality of work like they were could pull off. So it's manipulating the crowd to answer your question. And everybody goes about a different, you know, Mick Foley psychology is going to involve a lot of big bumps towards the back end of the match and maybe a shark or two of a big bob in early parts of the match. And you know, whereas another guy like Dean Malenko, the consummate, you know, chain wrestler and man of a thousand holes is going to go out there and dazzle you if he's working to heal. He's going to lift or position that babyface to wrestle him before he grounds down and gets the heat on him. So it's about telling your story within the framework of getting the guy over in the process of shine, heat comebacks and then finish. It's how you put the pieces on the chess table and you know, when you look at it for what it is, some guys out there that are having a match. It's always a very simple psychology, and my psychology wasn't necessarily overly complex, although I could get to a level of it, many guys within the framework of that are playing. Checkers rather than chess. Some of those advance guys, I mean, that were really telling great stories could weave a whole lot of stuff in there and do amazing things. I kind of played a game that that really when I got to my zenith as stone cold Steve Austin, the formula was pretty simple. There was a guy out there who had the system working against him to keep him down and working with a damn good heel. And it was the basic, you know, good guy versus bad guy match. And the crowd was living vicariously through the actions of stone cold. So, you know, was I good in the ring? Yes, I was. Was I the best in the ring? No, I wasn't. I had a lot of fun telling those stories and then stacking the card up against me through the psychology of booking that we translated what the psychology of work that we were doing in the ring and we were selling tickets. And dude, if you're in the psychology, it's all about, you know, go out and treat someone with kindness and then the next day, treat that same person with total disrespect. You'll get different reactions out of them, depending on how you treat them. And so a match does the same thing with respect to the performance and to what it does to or how it affects the crowd that's watching. And when you see a lot of these guys go out there now or at any point and just do a wrestling match, that's just a straight wrestling match. You know, it can be interesting and it can be really good. But if you've got great psychology and you have these great characters that people are invested in and actually care about, and the guys are also selling and registering in the ring, the things that are being done to them. So the crowd knows that this is, you know, whatever this one guy is doing to the other guy hurts the other person. It's always bad when you when a guy goes out there and starts no selling everything because they think and most embassies in the green stages that I'm going to be the tough guy. I nominate a selling thing. Here's the problem with being the green guy and thinking that you're tough and not selling anything. If nobody thinks you can be hurt, then they really don't care. Not to a point. That's great. No wonder when the road warriors first came out, there was a lot of that going on. But then, you know, then they started selling. At first they got over by not registering or selling hardly anything. And, you know, take a pile driver and just get right back up. No, sell it and go on offense. On one hand, that could kill you. On the other hand, they got it over. And when they're working with another high powered tag team that was over, they'd sell like crazy for anybody. But you had to stay on them and you know, well, and I've already kind of ramble into a whole different thing. But anyway, psychology is doing what you're doing wrong to get a response. Let me move on down the road. I enjoyed talking about the wrestling business, but when I'm sitting here talking to myself, I start spinning off on these different tangents. It's hard to bring it back to zero. So I appreciate you sitting in the questionnaire, bro. Thanks, Kurt. Here's one This is about WrestleMania 31 coming up in Santa Clara, California. It's rumored to. Kevin Nash will be the headliner at the Hall of Fame this year. This is a one year I truly feel the deceased inductee should be the headliner. How do you feel about it? And do you have any other opinions on the Hall of Fame who should be inducted next year? OK, that's Garrett from Minnesota. Well, as don't even go into next year because I just went there with the other questions with Midnight Express Rock and Roll Express. No free birds. But let's talk about Kevin Nash being the headliner. Now, this was a rumor today on the Inquisitor, on the I'm going to Inquisitor right now on my internet, so that was a story. They kind of been teased and that Kevin Nash is that guy. So I'm not giving any spoilers. This is going to be on. This podcast drops Tuesday after Monday Night Raw, and I think we're going to find out if he is indeed going to be inducted tonight or not. I don't know. I haven't heard from Kevin, but what you're asking me is it seems what you're asking me is shouldn't macho man Randy Savage be the headliner and not Kevin Nash? Well, first of all, I think when Randy Savage goes in, that place is going to come unglued because that's how big Randy's impact was on the business. And of course, man, you know, I remember catching Randy Savage down at U.S. NWA when he could work his a*s off down there. And that feud that he had with Jerry Lawler mean, I was like a shoot, you know, because I was when pro wrestler was still quote unquote real, Rob believed it to be real. You know, for the most part, you know what I'm saying? I always wanted to believe I still want to believe so. All of a sudden, man, he gets in WWF and Vince puts a rocket pack on his back and sends that guy to the moon and he gets over. And he's one of the most intense competitors I've ever seen inside the squared circle. I got a chance to wrestle Randy Savage down in Orlando, Florida. Did a job for him and and by four minute match, it wasn't nothing. I didn't have any ideas for me. I don't even remember the match. I'd have to watch it back and we barely even talked when I dared and did the favors for him. I wish I would have got a chance to work with Randy at his peak and at my peak, and that would have been some bad a*s matches. So it's going to be haywire when they put him in because everybody knows he should have been in a long time ago. And the thing about putting him in as the headliner, I think you want to. I think you want the headliner to be someone who can be present and to speak for themselves. Now I say that with respect. I believe Hulk Hogan is going to introduce Randy into the Hall of Fame, but I'm thinking that is going to be Randy's brother, Lanny Poffo, who will be receiving the ring and doing the acceptance speech for Randy Savage. And of course, Lanny Poffo is very articulate, very eloquent. And it's a very special occasion for Randy Savage and the whole powerful family. But I think in this case, you know, and it's going to be a feel-good moment that is and everybody will love it, and it's time for him to go to the Hall of Fame. But I think in a best case scenario, when you're going, you know, in front of a bunch of people, the best case scenario is to have someone who is alive and present and can cut a promo and talk in their own right. And that's big. Sexy. Kevin Nash and welcome at the Chill, you know. Welcome to the Hall of Fame. We'll see this podcast drops after Monday Night Raw. We'll find out tonight, but I think that's the thinking on that. Garrett have someone who's alive and present and Kevin Nash, if he has a guy who is alive and present as his podcast is recorded. Good lord willing, the creek don't rise. Nothing happens to Kevin Nash, but the joke's on him. Anyway, here we go to another question. Hey, Steve, I was listening to the Danny Davis show. It was an amazing show. Was that Jerry the King Lawler he was talking about who paid him while it was not working during his back injury? And that question was from Michael. And yeah, that was Jerry the King Lawler, the Danny Davis was talking about. That was giving him those payoffs when he hurt himself so bad in the ring. And here's the thing about dead, because that was really back in the day. If you got hurt in the ring, dude, you did not get paid zero. I mean, if you didn't work, you weren't making money. And that's why guys and I asked Danny on a podcast. You know, he was in there 10, 12, 15 years before I was. And guys are already, you know, kind of teaching themselves to be chiropractors. And if got hurt his back, he tweaked his back or did this out or whatever, there be another guy there trying to work on him and, you know, put his back in a place. You're not told that story about Harley Race, you know, fixing my back up for me or try to fix my back up for me. And the guys have always been doing that, doing that for each other. But I'll tell you what, when I got dropped on my head in East Rutherford, New Jersey and Meadowlands Arena back in what was '97, I guess it was whatever it was. I was a tragic quadriplegic for about 60 seconds. I rang up a concussion, got taken to the hospital, tested negative on a broken neck, but bruised my spinal cord, come out of hospital, didn't have a ride back to my hotel room. Three girls who had followed the ambulance to the hospital asked me if I needed a ride. I said yes. They took me to the liquor store, bought me a 12 pack of Budweiser and dropped me off my hotel room and made sure I got to my room. And I sat there and I drank 12 beers and concussed in pain and kind of in a weird place woke up. The next day, I went to the a car place, got my rent a car, drove to Philly and worked on Monday Night Raw angle and cut a promo with that little soft cervical collar rod and then went to my house and for for three months. When I didn't work for months, however long it was, I didn't get paid. I didn't get any paychecks coming to the mill. And then when 2000 came along and I had to get my neck fused up, I was gone for a year, didn't get no paychecks. I got a role to checks every four months, but I didn't get a weekly check. And I think finally, when Triple H tours Quad. And then when Kevin Nash tore his Quad, I think that's when they started paying guys when they were injured. But back in the day, and this isn't a complaint, this is just telling you how it was back in the day. And this has gone back to the question about you asking about Jerry Lawler having a book and paying Danny Davis that was just showing a guy loyalty. But that's just how hard it is in the wrestling business. And for many years, you know, I didn't carry any kind of insurance because it was so damn high. I really didn't want to pay for it. So I didn't have insurance pretty much my whole adult life because I figured any time I got hurt in the ring, WWF would pay for the injury. And they did. They always paid for an injury. But before, you know, the precedent was set that they pay you when you get hurt, you didn't even get paid when you get hurt. So you just leave it on what you have saved up in the bank. And that always leads me to the next thing of what we call in the business wrestler's mentality. Back in the day, you know, when you break in a business and all the old timers and like for me, when I broke into the business in Dallas, Texas, and I started making those drives from Dallas, Texas to all those small towns in Louisiana, and I didn't, you know, I had a car and drove myself. I didn't have any money. I'd stopped working on a freight dock and Bronco, Lubitsch and Scandrick Bar always travel together. And I said, Hey, kid, you need a ride. And these were two of the veterans that were the nice guys to take a young punk kid like myself under their wing, and I'd ride all the towns with them. And that's where I gathered up all my information. And then of course, later, you know, gorgeous gear young and you know, all the other guys that I got psychology from. But to go back to the point I was going to try to make wrestlers mentality as like running down a road with guys like Skandia and Bronco, and they'd always tell you, Save your money, kid, because you never know when it's going to run out. You never know when you're going to get hurt. You never know when something happens and you can't Russell again. And so part of the Russian mentality was you saved up enough money, and when you bought your first house, you would buy it for cash. Now I know today is a different day, and age and house are a lot more expensive. But back in the day, you know, that's what most of the guys did. You bought your first house. Cash, because if you ever got fired, if you ever got hurt, if you couldn't get another job, nobody could take your house from me. Same thing with a car, you pay cash for your car so that everything you owned, you owned outright. You didn't know anybody any money because you never knew what was going to happen down the road. So anyway, Danny Davis got taken care of. He expressed his gratitude to Jerry the King Lawler. That was a stand up thing for Jerry to do. Way back in the day, and once again, I'm not senior piss and moan about not getting paid when I had my neck fused up. That's the system the way it was back then. There's a whole different system right now, and that's just the way it is. I think the guys and gals today have great medical care. They're being paid attention to. They've got trainers travelling up and down the road with them, and it got all their medical bills covered. And hey, man, the wrestling business is a rough business all the time on the road, all the bumps in the ring. It all adds up, but they're in good hands and it's a good system these days. All right, with that last question being asked is go ahead or take pause for the card right now and take a word from our sponsors of people to keep the show on the air for free. I'm coming right back to answer some more questions. You sent questions to Steve Artichokes. This is the Steve Austin show. All right, gang, we're rolling out again, let's get back to questions you offset into questions of Steve all cash Yoakam and hey man, any time you want to email me, I try to read every single email that comes to the show and a predominantly I get wrestling related questions. If you want to keep hearing me, answer them, keep sending them. If you want to talk about something else, make a suggestion that I could put out of my Twitter account. Send it to me a question to Steve Shoko. I love talking about pro wrestling. I can talk about it every day if that's what you want. But if you've got any suggestions on some subject matter that you want me to cover. Senator question Steve asked Shogun. We could flip a few pages and cover some different material. How's that for audio war bass at your demand? That being said, let's move back into a wrestling related question. One There was a heavy duty thing talking about WrestleMania 17 coming from James and Raleigh, North Carolina. Good neck of the woods. Always like wrestling over Raleigh. Some good wrestling country down there. And he said, Hey Steve, I was wondering if you could talk a little about the sit down interview that aired on Smackdown before WrestleMania 17. We're coming up on the 14th anniversary of that show, and I consider the promo you guys did before that match to be one of the best selling of a single match in WWE history. How much was scripted and how much was ad libbed? The seriousness and intensity in that room is what lacks in the product today. OK. James, let me tell you something that was an awesome piece of business, and if I'm not mistaken, I believe that was my idea, and I'm not taking credit for the whole damn thing. But I think it was my idea and there was nothing scripted about it. Now, Jim Ross probably had a couple of questions written down, but man, as a moderator, no one can ask questions as good as Jim Ross can. And of course, you know, he was right there really, you know, in his prime in the WWE and totally entrenched, you know, in my opinion, he's the greatest announcer and wrestling announcer in the history of the business. And you know, as great as Gordon solely was, he just took it, you know, to the next level. He had that extra gear. And this was with all due respect to Lance Russell and Bob Caudle and so many other great ones. But Jim Ross is the best and man, you could cut the tension in that room with a knife, and it was real and it was nothing scripted about it. I didn't know what the Rock was going to say. He didn't know what I was going to say, and we just responded off each other accordingly. And after Jim's questions, and it was a shoot, and the thing about it is what the rock, you know, for whatever reason it was, he had great chemistry with a lot of other people, and so did I. But the two of us together, we're just very dynamic, very competitive. He was trying to be number one. I was number one and he came close to overtaking. Me, in my opinion, never did. But he was white hot. He had a monster career. He's the biggest movie star in Hollywood right now. But if you go back to 17 and you go to that promo, that was real deal Holyfield. The competitive aspect of professional wrestling, the way it could and should and still be doing today. Done. And that's all I can say about that. It was real all the way. And if you go back to the interview that I did with C.M. Punk on the 2K 14 video game release and that was moderated once again by my old buddy jump Jim Ross. And you could cut the tension in that room with the knife because I mean, you know, me and punk were taking care of each other, but that was a real dilemma. We're trying to sell video games 2K 14, but also that fantasy match up between Stone Cold and C.M. Punk. And you know, she and folks got a hell of a presence and he's got a hell of a damn promo. And same thing with me sitting there in my leg brace just had an ACL, a PCL. Put my left knee man. Those pieces of business are fun, and that's the way I want to see pro wrestling presented because people always want to believe and I want to believe, and when I'm doing it, I'm loving it and I believe in it. So to answer your question, man, what no script it was to catch in there who were in their prime, knew their place, knew what they were there to do, and that was sell tickets. Same thing with me and punk got a 2K for team thing. You know, we were all there to do business, and so was Jim Ross. The way he presented the questions and went accordingly back and forth to each guy in the serious tone in which he asked the questions, Man, so real deal Holyfield. That's how you sell tickets. That's how you get people to believe in you and your brand and your product. All right, here we go. Let's move on down the road. Get another question. Hey, Steve, first question I have is what do you think of Paul Heyman's last two promos? I personally think they made the whole show. His promos keep getting better, and I think they need to let him teach the locker room just to do promos. Second question is on your leg days at the gym? Do you do? Any other workouts, for example, on days, I do chest arbitrage or back and buys this from James Hey, James. Let's talk about Paul Heyman. You know, I was on YouTube a while back and I was looking at some of the stuff Paulie did back in his continental wrestling days, and the dude is simply progressed from being a really, really good talker back then and to a guy that every time they put him up to plate Tanaka, a promo out of the park, the bases are loaded and hits a grand slam man. The thought process, the way he delivers this stuff, the timing, the fact that he never stutters, you know, Bibles or Bibles or does anything the other the other day when the microphone stopped working, you know, and he just kind of ad libbed and, you know, kind of made a snide remark toward Lillian, a dude man. That promo right there and that was about two weeks ago was just I sent him a text message, and I might have been your best promo you've ever done. And the next one, he followed up and talking about Roman Reigns family. I thought that was an awesome promo as well. I like the first one better, but man, that guy lights up a microphone like nobody else has. And when he goes out there, I'm glued to the damn TV. I'll turn the television up. I'll make sure everything's quiet so I can listen to what he's saying. Listen to how he's presenting it and whether it's that straightforward fashion, or if he's setting the different levels and weaving in all these other things and going back to bring back a point home and sell the match. The dude's an absolute monster on the microphone. And then, you know, if you talk to Paula Newton, that's what he was born to do. He's a thinking man and he's a smart dude, and he knows how to convey a message and sell a ticket. Premiere promos by one of the best promo guys that will ever pick up a microphone. And I certainly I mean it because there's different kind of talkers. You know, there was my style of promo, which is about getting people in a building, but the way he does it, what he does, you know, he is the best. And he's just an unbelievable guy. And the thing about it is he was able not just to cut a promo because a lot of guys who can teach you how to do something, but they're not really the best at it. Paulie is the best at it, and he's taught. I don't know how many individuals and I always give him credit for helping me with my promos, and I don't know how many other people will, you know, give him credit. I know Mick well. Shane Douglas Raven. I mean, I'm going to leave out a lot of guys here because I'm just talking off the top of my head. But he influenced so many guys is unbelievable. And so just having him in that locker room. And man, if I'm backstage watching the monitor and I'm doing the business and I want to learn how to cut a promo, and it is just like watching it on TV. But the closer you are to it, the more I think it rubs in. And just to walk around with the guy, talk to him a little bit, see the gear spent in his head while he's talking to you, man. That's just like being able to get under the learning tree of a tried and true veteran as you go down the road. And I know all the the travel system has changed these days, and Apollo is not exactly on the road. But you know, most of the knowledge you picked up was with hanging around these guys and ask them questions and spending time with them and almost osmosis. So man, if I was a young kid, I'd be trying to, you know, you know, get a little bit of Paul's time here. They're catering or whatever. I'm sure the guys in total demand because if you're not marking up history, try and ask for some advice or help on this out or whatever you know, you're doing yourself a disservice as far as trying to be a good talker or personnel in the business. I don't know how busy Paul is at a television taping or what they have him doing. I'm not certainly trying to put a workload on him. I'm just saying, dude, as long as that guy can run his mouth, he should have a job because, you know, guys like him, you don't just find you, first of all. You don't just find top draws in the business every day. You also don't find people that can talk and do the things that he does every day. So he's as rare as a top drawer, in my opinion. He's a bad a*s dude, and I've loved all of his promos. Let me get back to your question. The second part was when you train a legs at the gym, do you do any other workouts? No, man, dude. Here's the thing I used to love train and legs when I came out of college right before I got into the business, I was a squatting machine. Legs are probably my best body part back in the day, and then I got in the wrestling business and started having all those knee issues, tore my ACL, tore my pcl, my left. They tore my piece of my right knee. I stopped squatting and squatted for 15 or 20 years during my whole wrestling career. Every now and then, I've strung together a couple of leg workouts, wide squat a buck thirty five or do some leg presses, but really, truly stopped training legs for 15 to 20 years. So I just started training my legs again, just start a squat and medium heavy. And man, when I train legs, that's all I do and what I just recently really got a hold of because I've been hanging out with all these bad a*s athletes over the Broken Skull Challenge, and I've been looking at a lot of the workouts of the day and some of the movements and exercises that they do. And I started from squatting out of all of my leg days. Out of all the day's, I'd pack on all that iron and put on my back and go up and down and do heavy leg presses. But the squat was the Mack daddy. What I've delved into from looking at some of the CrossFit routines call for thrusters and that's basically, you know, a front squat, you know, and to a military press. And then back down again, I'm not doing a military press, I'm not doing a thruster, but I'm doing that front squat where you're holding that Olympic bar in front of you rather than resting it on your traps of your back. Let me tell you something, mister. You talk about a whole different dynamic man. I started off and I always start off my leg workouts with the squat, but I changed it up this time. I did a bunch of pump sets with the leg. Press worked up to about five or six wheels on each side, pumping out 30 reps and then went over and started front squatting and not a whole lot of weight. I think I went up to a buck thirty five, but because it was a different movement, because it pulls on a different part of your back. The way you're balancing that weight when you go down, it's a whole shocker. And I've been working out since I was 10 years old, and that's the first time I've ever really done a front squat and was serious about it and went through a workout jack my heart rate up. It messed up my quads in a good way and got a massive pop. And then I did stuff like a daedalus for hamstrings. And then I got back on a leg press machine and did a calf raises because we don't have a stand up calf raised machine at the gym and that was my leg workout. It was leg presses, front squats, stuff like a deadlifts and calf races on a seated leg press. And I didn't do anything else. I was about to puke and I was breathing so hard from doing the high reps. Most from squats blew me out of the gym. So on other days, I'm training in chess and tries on back days. I trained specifically back and I train buys with shoulders and starts. You question about the workouts. It again, man, I ain't no bodybuilder, but I'm just doing the things that I do to stay in shape and I'm trying to get in better shape in the hopes that we're going to film a broken skull challenge number three. And hanging out with those athletes has definitely kind of helped me tweak some of the training methodologies I use and inspired me to maybe use a little bit less weight, but shoot for more reps in a specific amount of time and throw in that conditioning factor that you get instead of taking so long between sets. But anyway, swig a protein to the CrossFitters and swig a protein to all the men and women on a broken skull challenge who have inspired by training to pick up the intensity. Let's move on down to the next question. Hey, Steve, I just turned 21 last week, and I've been trying out different types of beer legally now. I have been a fan so far of hard ciders and light beers, although not a fan of IPAs and ales. What type of beer is your favorite and what should I try next? Well, and as John, from over there and O'Fallon, Missouri, hopefully, John, you're saved from all that stuff. But John, hopefully you're safe from all the stuff that's been going on over Missouri, man. Some chaotic times over there. Here's the deal you just turned 21. You're trying out different types of beer. Hey, man, you're 21. Don't go crazy on the beer. Try them out and never drink and drive. Here's the thing. Hey, man, I've never been a really a hard cider guy. I don't think I've ever even drank one, of course, with respect to light beers and asked why I've been drinking for years and years and years. Way back in the day from natural light, Coors Light, Miller Lite, Bud Light and little bit of Budweiser tossed mentoring there for a while. But I started getting into the craft beers about a year, year and a half ago, and I started with the pale ales and I was just looking for something that was a little bit different than what I drank all those years and something with a little bit more flavor to it. And so I started with the pale ales and then I started kind of getting to the beers are just a little bit more hoppy, and I tried my first IPA and it turned me off because I wasn't ready for all the hops yet. And so a lot of times when I get on this podcast, I talk about IPAs. People just jump off their Bud Light, Miller Lite, whatever and go jump on a heavy duty IPA, which is probably double the strength in alcohol. But of course, hoppy to the degree and it tastes like someone just crapped in their mouth because they're not ready for all those hops. So it was about a six to eight month swing as I graduated to the IPA flavor to get acclimated to the hops. So now, man, I don't dig light beer at all. I'm into the hops I love IPA is not into, you know, when I go to England or wherever I like a Guinness stout or a Murphys, I think it's a bad ass, really, really good beer. And I've used to drink a ton of them when Mo Travel partner William Regal. But I'm an IPA guy now just because I got into the hoppy flavors. And if I drink a normal beer and just don't feel normal, we'll go over to the sushi restaurant. That's right down the road from my house and I'll drink an Asahi or Karen Light because those are the Japanese beers that they carry over there and they don't carry an IPA. And quite frankly, those two beers the Asahi and the Korean Light are so light and they're good beers. No, don't get me wrong. And they really, really go with the sushi, so they complement it. But you know, it's hard for me to go anywhere. And if they don't have an Apple draught or they don't have an iPod in a bottle, I'll find another restaurant and go eat somewhere else. Or I just won't drink a beer at all. But anyway, hey, take your time. The IPA thing is not the be all end. It's not the holy grail of beers. Beer is subjective. Just like your taste in cars, music, your favorite color. What's good to you might be bad to someone else. And what's you know? What's bad? You might be good to someone else, so take your time with the beer. Don't get in a hurry. You got a long ways to try a lot of other beers out and don't drink and drive and no get in the car with anybody that's ever drunk and drive. So be careful out there and don't rush things. Everything in moderation. Good luck to you and your quest to find your favorite beer. Be responsible on it. Move on to the next question. Hey, Steve, I've been a huge fan of yours for years. I'm not sure if you've ever answered this or not. When you were a heel around the invasion angle time period, you were given out a lot of hugs to people. I had heard that was a rib on DDP. Any truth to that? If not, where did that come from? Thanks. That comes from John over there in O'Fallon, Missouri. John, answer your question. The hugs was my idea. Just to do something to embrace Vince McMahon rather than detest him and repel him. Because, you know, I had switched heel, so it wasn't a rib on DDP at all. Mandeep is one of my best friends and I'll rib a guy every now and then. But you can't rib a guy, you know, and take a valuable TV time just doing it. That was a total total personality flip from a guy who would give the stiff arm to the authority figure, which was missing man owner of the company. And I was, you know, the tough. SLB, who rebelled against the authority now was embracing him, so that was a reason that I was hugging Vince didn't have anything to do with the rib on DDP. But anyway, I got the names messed up on who all of those questions on those last two questions because my notes are jumbled up here. But nonetheless, I appreciate you sending in that question. The Steve Austin Show. The Steve Austin Show. All right, here we go, Steve. My wife isn't the biggest fan of wrestling, but her and I are big fans of the Broken Skull Challenge and I have a question regarding the show. What is the taping schedule for the show like? For example, do you tape all the challenges first on day one and then all of the Skull Busters on day two? I always like to hear about the behind the scenes of creating a television show. Thank you for reading. This is from Brian in Azuka, California. Brian? Man, I tell you what got a broken skull challenge is exactly what I say on TV. It is. We start off that first morning with eight men or women, and it's a long a*s day and sometimes it's hotter than hell. Sometimes it's cold as hell. The weather can change from one to the other in a heartbeat out there where we film most of the time and it's an extreme. Usually it's never very comfortable and it feels like you're standing in a sand blaster all day with all the sand blowing around out there. So it's a long day and I tell those competitors. The longer you're here, the longer the day's going to be. So keep yourself hydrated if you need to take a bathroom break. Go take your bathroom break, but always be ready because, you know, by the time you know I introduce a challenge, we've got to do interviews. It takes you a little bit of time to get warmed up again. So these athletes are going from hurry up and wait to let's go right now to wait. And it's your time to go right now, so you've always got to be ready out there on the Broken Skull Challenge. And then at the end of the day, and most of the time, the sun's going down when that winner is declared after the pit. We walk off into the sunset the next day at sunrise. That competitor who won, who said seven people stepping off the ranch comes back and we lay out the obstacle course. I explain the course to them in detail. They do all the filming and all of a sudden we say ready, set go. And that person takes off picks up that log at the back breaker are fire up by UTV. And off we go to the race a skull buster is on. And so it takes a long time to get all that done. You've got to prep the course, clear all the tracks out, drag it and get the sand looking good. Get it ready to present for television. Get all your cameras fired up and get everybody psyched up. And then it's ready. Set go. So it's very long days of filming. It's very fun. The good thing about it is, Oh, I'm a rent a house out there this time that has better Wi-Fi because it takes too long to send my podcast, but I stay in a really bad a*s trailer on set the entire time or filming that show. I'll go home on the weekends, not only live 50 miles from UglyDolls, say, but if I was to get up to make my call time in the morning and have to fight at rush hour traffic, I'm not going to be worth a damn because I'm not going to be able to be up to speed with, you know what the challenges are. Be settled in and ready to go. So I live on set. And then at the end of the day, I don't have to get back in my truck with Hershey, the Wonder Dog who stays in the trailer with me and drive back in traffic and take two and a half three hours to get home. So that whole filming process is fun for me. And like I explained to the competitors, it's a long a*s day, but for me, it's like a paid vacation because I've got these bad a*s. You know, I got a fall winter out there. I have my dirt bike out there this year. I have a UTB out there. This year, when the sun goes down and we start filming, I feed Hershey and we go down what Skull Buster Valley and we go to that course and we just go on our walk and I walk up and down. Those are some of the hills that we do those challenges up on. I never go up and down Heartbreak Hill because there's so Steve and I'm just doing my leisurely walk. But that one heel that you see us operating on a lot of the time is one man. Hershey will walk up and down on our walk and then ride above that ridge. There's a land and strip over there for the Boeing airplanes. The Agua Dulce airport is down the road, but there's room up there for a small crop duster type airplane land or for like a fire emergency or something like that. So we'll walk all up and there when I get down a school bus to valley. I don't have telephone reception, but when I get on top of that ridge, a lot of times I'll have my headphones on and that's where I'll finish up. My nightly calls for the evening, check in and see what's going on everywhere, and then I'll go back and start doing a podcast or looking at my notes for the next day. But it's an intense period of time out. There is hotter than hell, as cold as hell. The wind is always blowing, but when the sun goes down out there is so damn peaceful is unbelievable. And all those mountains, those hills out there, there's a lot of history about the Vasquez rocks and all of the stuff that used to going out there. It's a it's a wonderful. Place to film, and so hopefully will be out there again filming the baddest, toughest, coolest show on television. The Brothers Go challenge for country music television. Let's move on down the road. Got a question from Adam Gallant? He says, Steve, my question is how did you pick Mark Eaton to be the official? Steve was your thrower. Was he a legend outside the arena for handing out beers and did his ability to throw from the timekeeper's area to the ring and sometimes as far away as halfway up the ramp just develop naturally over the time? Man, I tell you what, Adam Mark Eaton had a hell of an arm on him. I can't remember when we first started using that beer. And so Mark started throwing them, and there's very few beers that I really ever dropped. If I could've been a wide receiver or tight end in the NFL, if I would have had that catch to drop ratio, I'd be in the Hall of Fame right there with Jerry Rice. But we developed the chemistry and Mark had a throwing style and it was an underhand lob and almost 99 percent of them more underhand lob. And he could throw a beer for a mile, and he had just the perfect touch and the perfect arc on it. And some of the times, man, when we started really pushing the envelope and I started getting up that ramp and he was going to have to throw over the crowd, I'd say, give me a damn beer. And he kind of gave me that sideways, you know, not like saying no, but he'd shake his head one time like, man is kind of that's kind of a precarious position, and I'd go ahead and just reaffirm that I wanted that beer. And he'd just let it let it fly and uncork one. And sure enough, it fall right into my hands, and I don't think we ever hit anybody in the head with a beer. All the beers, damn near every single beer he threw was within catching distance of my hands. So I don't know how Mark even got picked to do that job is because he was the official timekeeper. I guess it was just deemed that he also had the ability to multi-task and throw beers while he was keeping time. But he was awesome at his job. We had so many times where we would go back and start laughing at some of the throws or what happened while all the action was going down. But I had a good time with Mark Eaton and he was asked about his job. And you know, I know he's gone from WWE right now. I guess he still has his Twitter account, WWE Timekeeper on Twitter, and you can send him a tweet over there. But he's a good dude, and I really enjoyed working with him. With that being said, let's move on to one more wrestling question and it says, Steve. My question is how would you book The Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania and who goes over? Does Taker take another loss or does he take a victory if Bray loses? Does this actually do him more damage than good? He should have gone over against Cena in WrestleMania 30. Well, I don't know that he should or want overseeing that WrestleMania 30, but OK, let's talk about Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania. Who goes over? Man, that's a good question. Me, I think Taker has to go over. You're bringing the Deadman back. Last time people saw him, it was a loss to. The man who conquers whatever Paul Heyman is always talking about Brock Lesnar and man again, I was that guy who said the streak should never be broken, but if anybody was going to break the streak, they picked the right guy with Brock Lesnar, but to bring him back. If The Undertaker does indeed come back, I think you got to go over. And I think it's the rub that benefits Bray Wyatt. And, you know, if Bray Wyatt goes over, then you bring that back to SummerSlam, where he's going to return the favor back to Undertaker. But I'm just not feeling an undertaker loss on back to back manias. I just think that takes away from how special his run was. And even though I was for staying undefeated, the fact that he got the one loss means I especially don't want to see him take two losses back to back unless, hey man, it was his idea. He's down, fought and he wants to prep this guy up. But I don't see that being the case, and I'm not speaking for Mark. I'm not speaking for Bray. There's a question sent to questions that Steve asked showed Akam and the rub, the experience of being in there with a high profile superstar. And when I say superstar, I mean, true superstar, now superstar. Just because that's what they call you, you're talking about one of the true icons in the history of pro wrestling. The fact that you're in there with that dude given and taken and you got to work at his pace, which is a monster because that dude's a big man and he sells on the road. You've always got to stay out of himself for you. But once you get him down, it's hard work to keep him down. So you're going to earn whatever you get against Undertaker and he'll make you earn it. And, you know, and that's total respect, and that's how you should work. Marsh, a smart guy. Nobody could have done an undertaker gimmick like him. End of story. Bray Wyatt got a great young character of what he's doing. It'd be awesome to see those two guys in the ring, and I'm I'm staying tuned. I'll be watching Monday Night Raw tonight to see how the story keeps on unfolding as the WWE keeps heading towards WrestleMania 31. And it's funny because they just keep, you know, that big WrestleMania sign on there with the play button on it. And I guess that's for the WWE Network, but they don't call WrestleMania 31. You know, last year was WrestleMania 30. Now it's just WrestleMania. And I guess I get that from a marketing standpoint now. It's just that special time of year, whereas WrestleMania and you ain't got to call it a specific number. But anyway, I just thought, I've got a ramble about that and I get hot about it anyway. A couple more questions. We're going to wrap this thing up and we'll come back on my word of the day. Hey, Steve. Greetings from U Valley, Texas, you valley, Texas, right down the road from the broken skull. Have you ever experienced anything paranormal? I've seen and experienced a lot of strange things in my home. I think it'd be cool if you told us any experiences of your own. Raymond D. Raymond I ain't experienced nothing paranormal. I don't believe in ghosts. I have never seen a ghost. I believe in UFOs. But in Ghost, I don't believe in them. I had never seen one. And. Man, I think there's other people out there than us. I don't know about like Martians, green Martians and stuff like that. I think there's got to be another world out. There are some people on it. Because we can't be the only people here in the Dame universe. You know, we've got Earth, man, I'm not I'm not sure that man ever really walked on the Moon because if we ever walked on the Moon, how come we ain't been back? And some old pictures, man, some some was up that flag because I don't think the world was supposed to be blowing that day, but the wind was blowing in the picture. And I don't know, man, if we went to this another subject because you asked me about the paranormal, I just started rambling. But anyway, now Menno believe in the paranormal. And again, I don't know if we've been to the moon or not, because if we'd been there, how come we have not been back? Here's another question. Hey, Steve of the zombie apocalypse went down. What three wrestlers would you want with you to take on the undead? Also, what gun would you use? Well, and I tell you what, I've been watching The Walking Dead and I'm on season five and I'm completely caught up and I've been watching a manatee. What? Michonne is one of my favorite characters. She ain't even got a gun. She'll use a gun every now and then, but she got that samurai blade. So I'm not even sure you need a gun. So if I could a machine in an interruption? Well, Michelle wasn't in the wrestling business. I can't take her with me. So let me go back to the boys. OK, I won't have Brock Lesnar come on. Look at a guy. Dude's a freak of nature. He could kill a damn zombie just by looking at it. So Brock Lesnar and then you got to have Haku or Ming. And then because man, everybody knows how tough that guy was. And he's a very unassuming guy. He'll act like he's not tough. And then I think you got to have Ric Flair and you got to have Ric Flair because he's always give Ric credit for being what the toughest guys in the history of the business. And now from an aspect of fighting. But because the do good party all night go out and wrestle an hour every single night, get tossed off the top turnbuckle. How many times get hip toss build across the damn ring? Do that flip of the turnbuckle, land on the floor, gig himself, get color and just put on a damn show every single night. So just for giggles, you got to have Brock Lesnar, Haku Slash Ming and the nature boy Ric Flair. Plus he could chop all of zombies and yell Woo every time he did it. So those would be the three guys that I would pick, and again, Ric Flair for entertainment purposes only. He's still one of the toughest human beings I've ever met in my life, and he's, in my opinion, the greatest pro wrestler who ever lived. And I tell you what. Speaking of him, look at his damn daughter, Charlotte, the kind of wave she's making dinner next. She wrestles like a pro wrestler. That kid's got a very bright future in front of her, and I think she was going to be in a restaurant business for a long time. But a swig of water to her and do the other gals dinner next year as well. Because those gals down there, but having some really, really impressive matches and I think the last and TR wash is a matter of fact, it was hell. Charlotte and Sasha Banks were the main event. So I mean, it's some summer as a main event buzzed down there. That's how those girls been mixing it up. And Bayley and the other girls down here have been kicking a*s in a way, swig a water on guys down here. And those women, my three guys and again, Ric Flair for the for the entertainment factor. Let's wrap this thing up. Steve, I just wonder what kind of music detection Rattlesnake listens to. I know your names have been more heavier, but are you usually in Iraq and metal? Chris, man. Lately I've been going back to some old blues stuff. I don't think I was listening to Robin Ford the other day. I just started getting into Joe Bonamassa. If I said his name wrong, I'm just getting into him. I started getting to a little bit of Albert College of the day because I'm such a huge Stevie Ray Vaughan fan, and I was listening to Roy Buchanan and Albert Collins and Lonnie Mack when they played at Carnegie Hall. So I really got to dig into Blues, and if I mentioned anybody's name wrong, that's that's why. Because I'm a huge TV guy and those other guys have been checking out. And of course, you know, B.B. King and guys like that. And when I was a big, I wasn't a big Robert Cray fan, and I haven't heard a lot of Robert Cray, but I'm huge Robert Cray fan. And, you know, not too long ago, I had Peter Rosenberg on who's a big hip hop guy. There's not a whole lot out there that I'm really grab on to. I was like him to, you know, Cameo can function kind of stuff way back in the day heat wave. Oh, man. Brothers Johnson. But these days, music has changed so much. And being a big Boston fan, scorpions Y.A. Great White. Those bands don't exist anymore, so I kind of just went back to the Blues and that's where I've been at now. Don't get me wrong, I've got my cardio hook on my heart rate monitor that I fixed with Krazy Glue and I'm going to be Craig, and they'll go straight back to the late 80s and it'll be on Pandora. It'll be iron. It'll be Iron Man radio. Now it's got to the garage and use my my bicycle. I got a different for my cardio and I will put on my heart rate monitor that I fixed with Krazy Glue, and I got my Bluetooth speaker out there and I'll have Pandora radio on. And for the most part, when I'm listening out there, it's on Iron Maiden Radio, Scorpions radio or great white radio. And for the most part, Iron Maiden stuff, because I played a little bit more upbeat stuff and special notes, twang guitars get going. I really dig that Bruce Dixon lays down those vocals is easy to get your heart rate up to about one hundred thirty five when you listen to Maiden Sing. And don't get me wrong, if I'm going absolutely crazy out there, I'll put it on Slayer radio. But to answer your questions, I've been going back to some of the Blues and listening to a bunch of the guys that I never really listen to other than Stevie Ray.

All right, gang, it's time to bring this podcast to a close or give me to go home. Q And that actually is the word of the day I'm giving you a professional wrestling term. Go home is when you execute the finish of a match or when someone gives you a Q to go home. It's time to execute the finish of the match for whatever reason it is. Whether it's a live TV thing and are out of time and you must go home immediately because they've got something else to go in the show. That is when it's time to end the match. So when I say they're given me the go home Q, that reminds me of my WCW matches way back in the day when Grizzly Smith was one of the road agents on the show, sometime if a match was running a little bit long, that one of the house shows the signal for someone to go home was when Grizzly Smith would approach the ring, and it would casually reach down and just kind of flip his tie a few times. And that was giving you the signal when Grizz went down to the ring and flipped his tie. It was time to go home, and then sometimes, you know, Grizz didn't even have to flip his dad when you saw Grizz at ringside. You knew it was time to go home and get to your finish. Your match with other matches could go in, and so go home is your word of the day. And that's what you guys are here. And when I say they give me to go home Q, that means it's the finisher, the shirt. Well, that being said, hey man, once again, I want to say thank you very much to the athletes who came down to the Broken Skull Challenge this year for season two. Just unprecedented bad asking us out there to broken Skull Ranch. I got three new t shirt designs coming up on Pro Russian, teased Akam and broken scorer Anscombe. One on one is available right now. It's the good luck horseshoe shirt with a skull, which is probably one of the baddest, coolest designs out of all of them. And that and two others that were designed by Joe Romero, come coming up and you can get them all at Perez T's dot com and Broken Skull Ranch dot com. And now, by popular demand, y'all been one some to keep your beer's cold in your hands. Is warm, I got quess and you get a six pack of him things for 1999 or add on occasion to your shirt or over 399, but anyway, enough about all that B.S.. I want to say thank you very much for making this show a success and helping a brother out every week by hitting the download button two times once on Tuesdays for the family friendly show and once every Thursday for the only show. And if you dig in what you hear and tell all your friends about the show and tell them, tell a couple of buddies about it because it's word of mouth grassroots advertising and tell them to hit the subscribe button, too. But you've got to subscribe to both shows Tuesday and Thursday. That way you'll never miss an episode, and you know it takes money to keep both shows going.

Digging on Amazon links but any way I've missed a jump on my exercise bike. I had a heavy leg day yesterday. I have a day off in a gym, so it'll be an hour of cardio spent at about 125 to 130 beats per minute, trying to burn some fat in my bike, listening to my Bluetooth speaker when my heart rate monitor that I fixed with Krazy Glue. Multi-tasking, the man at the house can do it all crazy glue duct tape and bailing wire. You can use those three things to fix damn near anything in life. Folks, until next time, my name is Steve Austin and I will kick your a*s down the road.
