Everything. grandparents used to call it fucking food like is everything go to italy go to france they don't

30:27 But I know when I get people to eat what God created and stuff that's not genetically modified, I want to feel like I'm 42 at 62.

And I call those bed flex. help you balance, The motherfucker can do every workout I do. Then pulled it out.

39:31 Yeah. Well, let me give you this. that has the best pasta I've ever had. And then if you put it back in, you know, here and there, That is an awesome choice. Go try it for seven days. I say, you don't. and I'm bringing it to you. because I've been doing it Because we got it in our DDP Yoga Performance Center, which is in Smyrna, Georgia. when I'm doing a gig, I'm going to stop in.

42:25 Yes, 12 PSI. I got one right here, buddy. I'm just being honest. All I need is an hour. Okay. Did he really? His discs were all smashed from jiu-jitsu. Oh, slow tanks. I think we'll get along amazingly. But you've been in the back of my head for a long time. DDPY. And you get it. I love Aubrey. always someone modifying. Like when I first started doing yoga, no one modified shit.

46:22 Inside it is a Bluetooth heart monitor. How long have you not been in your zone? it's been a long, I got probably coming up So the actual, we make it like a video game Right, a long process of refining Forever I used to be a comic book dork man. I had to sell them all when I was poor Did you see there was a Power Ranger bootleg video that came out like maybe four years ago, five years.

48:52 We're not monetizing this. Next thing And five years ago or a little before that, he's telling me how he's going to do this shit on YouTube. And it's a very dark, dark superhero series that will, when you get to the fighting part of it, something to watch. And I'd heard that they weren't, how did they not follow up on this? and stuff, you'll love it. It's going to be on HBO

50:46 Yeah, I'll check it out, man. There's a war going on. Did you see the first Sinner? I'm gonna change them. It's not good. That's on Amazon, right? Maybe on a Netflix I know the name, yeah. He said, yeah, but it's going to go to a whole new level. without people sharing that Arthur video everywhere. Back when we wrestled together, he was Johnny B. Bad.

53:42 Games boxing champion. we did everything. And now, Mark went from having trouble getting booked at high schools to being in such demand that he had 3,000 requests the month that that video went crazy. Yeah, he but you know what I think one of the reasons why a guy like him has succeeded because his success comes along with Ridiculous. What is it called?

55:50 It's the mind, his mind. Ridiculous. I mean, I'm sure you went from when you first started into pro wrestling to becoming super famous. I have to say, starting at 35 was the worst thing physically because one of my matches my wife is amazing we have the best bed and breakfast. And there's like five But it's the way he eats, I used to eat 12 eggs in the morning.

Like on my app, there's a guy named Jerry Cameron, disabled vet, in a wheelchair for two and a half years.

1:00:57 I'm doing my own little show. little bit more little incremental little incremental steps. Exactly. We set them up. I'm sorry to interrupt you. I do stuff with their organizations. Because if you do it, you're going to feel better. meets you where you are. wow, this fucking shit's crazy. I'm stretching and strengthening the muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

1:04:18 Stand. more strained it can be like i said i did 10 10 second push-ups on my six second birthday so you Well, they've done it with decompression. Let's talk about that for a minute. months later, a hundred percent healed. same things happens with people with diabetes so i had heard like lebron had it you know because i don't i never saw an article I want to call this something.

1:07:19 So I figured, fuck it. Why doesn't LeBron shave his head? What's going on with that? What that means is pounds per square inch So this is, I didn't know any of this shit till I sit next to a guy named Brad Campbell, I said, how the fuck do you look like that? The MS in check Down your spine. wasn't a big guy but he was the number one guy in the business and he had to

1:10:55 How do you guys do that? i'd say hey dude i'm gonna say i'm sorry right now and you would say back to me and we'll come Yes. and him and Hogan come from the back and whack me with chairs. on. This big roll of rubber turned with my left hand, moved a little more so now the railing you know And how the fuck did he not have permanent spinal injury from that?

1:13:47 He could survive that Here it is Grabbing his head. Literally landed on his head. surgeries and spinal injuries. And still won. And still won. It might be more physically demanding than any sport. His shoulder was just shredded. Yeah, no, you can't control that at all. I just give it to them. Because you're so beat up. And somehow, I don't know with all the crazy shots

1:16:49 you know he was fighting in Strikeforce when he was right he could have been a world champion and i'm not bullshitting he's that kind of a freak athlete He goes, do you want to sit in the wings? and I just did it and did the bang and everything. sure the same with DDPY, is that you're connecting everything together. it's a different thing what you're doing is for overall body maintenance and health and just

1:19:32 I met, let them meet it where they are on whatever level. So the person who might be 400 pounds and Now, grab the ball. And I go, I'm walking. So you never did like Bikrams or? And it was the second time I went to Iraq. way they do. I thought it was this year that you put this together, 2005. So I was interviewed by where they see like, differentiate.

1:22:28 I don't know how many positions there are. So that like, and it was a big. so what do you do? Every, and I'm improv because I'm seeing what you can do. is building crazy momentum. I go, we're at the top of where we're going to go right now. And he said, yeah. November. And I finally pinned him down. And that's where I learned, back the fuck off, meaning me.

1:25:47 a shitload of back surgeries. really exist like that. First ever Mexican heavyweight champion in combat sports. Him and Daniel Cormier would just go to a fucking war. I just love him. And then Cain Velasquez. You should have a show. two double sessions and a single session every day. It would help him tremendously. T would you know because that guy's whole

1:27:57 And I just can't say enough how impressed I am with that video with Arthur. I looked at it and I went, It has to be. Right. That's his baby. So remember he said that in the video So you figured out the chair is a balancing tool. Three two one. I'm engaging Houston. I lived down there for a while and honky tonk scene was insane. Then I came back for a

1:32:07 get behind a stick two days a week. But this place was huge. Like 12,000. Get behind the stick? probably 18 Sundays in a row play with a band called Cats on a Smooth Surface. I sucked. So they wouldn't let me play football or hockey. But here's the two sports you can play. Basketball, you don't. Nine is what you want, of course, but whatever you can do to make it work.

1:34:26 you know, and then the games pick up in the beginning. You know, I didn't get picked up, Because it's a fun. with my buddy Tony Cafaro and a couple other guys. And I go to this girl, Judy, at the front door. Take a breath. happened and then of course i paid for all his drinks and next thing you know ted dibiase's there And people didn't know if it was Randy or Hulk or Jesse or whoever.

1:37:23 So they filmed me in my 62 pink Cadillac. I eventually sold it because you're constantly putting, I wore, I drove it all the time. What a fucking great song that was. There it is. Yeah, that's a hard top. One before that. Yeah, 70. How old are you here? Look at you, dude. And when they're doing it, not radio, this TV, when I do the radio spot, they're filming me in my car.

1:40:36 And I'm watching video that's up on Girls Just Want to Have Fun. And I'm picking up the drawers, I should have been a part of that. page that makes sense they work right but my dad's page one and he said i'm freaking you know It's handsome. He went, oh, you forget about using that gimmick anymore. Where'd you get the diamond? And I love the way that name flowed. Classy Freddy Blassie and I love the way that name flowed.

1:42:54 I was 23, 22. shot shot so now we're getting pretty fucked up and at some point i say uh i say you know um And I just wrote it down. Oh. Get back to the limo now, ladies. Get with the program here. Yes. peeling down the walls of my mind with his bare Big John. Oh, my goodness. Oh, boy. And those ladies, unbelievable. So. So what happened was I do this promo.

1:47:21 This is your spot. I pick up the phone. show he goes you know i'm a boxer who has his own show about boxing but i want to start doing I want you to be my co-host. I don't know what the fuck to do. a tryout. He goes, but we've got one question. You know, we've shown the tape around and everybody was called Paulie Dangerously at the time. who was my head bouncer at the time, head of the floor, And when this was starting to happen, I go, dude, can you imagine if I ever have a reason to dress like this?

1:51:21 break I ever had and for me to watch his son do what they did last weekend. he came back to run the WCW and you know he's NWA world champion he's like one of the smartest guys Michael's still one of my best friends today. I'm also doing color commentating with Eric Bischoff, who would later run the company. you know what we should have done is put you in a pair

1:54:14 But the original power plant, one of my other mentors, a guy named Jody Hamilton, who was the assassin, he really taught me a lot. Yeah. You're screwed. No, no, no. To this day, I say he's the fittest guy that was ever on the show. Right. Kid though. He's already a huge superstar in wrestling, but I think he's going to be a huge superstar in the acting world.

1:56:24 Then I took off two and a half years, and then I say, okay, what do you want to learn? So he's like, I said, man, you've got that piece. and Miz was back doing one of his things. He goes, Holly, come here. is one of us and did you see blockers with cena no oh dude watch it it's one of the funniest movies He just did a Ferdinand movie. but when i saw did you see him when he hosted the espies no dude you're a comedian you know

2:00:56 doing something yeah i mean he just sandwiches everything together i don't know how the fuck work you're putting in my mind. He's one of those guys Jericho, when he's not wrestling, he's singing. They wrestled for 37 minutes. The place goes batshit crazy. as actors and they're all the boys. I'll have to turn to this. what the real story is, but I'll tell you what,

2:03:45 Hogan for Spike TV. I got Snuka and Bob Backlund. It's unbelievable. and I'm partners with Spike I'm partners with Dixie Carter I'm partners with TNA to take over. The maniacs are coming. All the TNA stars are going to be That's the good question. One of the nicest guys on the planet But the next month ass and it's me and Jay Leno Oh, that is so funny.

2:06:59 Yeah. And Hulk was never that guy to lay stuff out. And then you you also got to see how goddamn big he is And then, you know, when they go through the whole thing, It's awesome. He looked like a million bucks there. Because when Paulie's going crazy and he's having a heart attack. I'll hit you a little bit. because he's not a big guy. Really? Yeah, there's no super

2:09:44 And a bunch of guys have had to cut weight. 5'10", 290, just fucking jacked. You know, how he wrote that script, a Rocky, and would not sell it. This is me. How crazy is it the guy's doing the Expendables as a fucking action star? I believe it. He's a brother to me, like a behind the scenes from Stone Cold Steve Austin. the heavies of the heavies, the guys who had the biggest names. And Austin said, in a world of

2:12:13 broke his neck have you seen his neck He broke his fucking neck and telling Austin I mean, I would kill to do a workout He might be the toughest guy, pound for pound, age for age alive.
