All the above. Listen. Tap in with Chime man now. With time you could be smarter about some of the decisions you make and help build your financial Future. But gentlemen, I want to ask y', all, you know what I'm saying? Day to day spending. How did y' all realize it was going to take you to the next level in life? Man, I had to tighten up on my spending when I try to get my own place. Yeah, yeah. Had to make sure my credit was intact and everything, man. So yeah, when I stepped out of my mom's house, I had to realize that I started taking life a little bit more serious financially. Facts. First time I tried to buy a car, I had no credit. And I was trying to go in there and you know that that first payment was crazy. So get my credit right, which time you could do that with time. There's no credit checks, no annual fees, no interest and no minimum deposit. Lock in with Chime.com club 5 20. The dope thing about Chime is you can use it anywhere. Visa cards are accepted most definitely. And also, man, listen, you can build that credit history like we said, day to day purchases that goes towards your future.

R-Truth
Absolutely.
- [08:01]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Oh, yeah, man.
- [08:02]
R-Truth
We gonna have some fun today, man. Man, first things first. How did you get into wrestling, man? Obviously you've been in the part of this industry for a very long time, period. OG status. How did you get into this realm?
- [08:10]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Man, wrestling was no way on my radar, dog. You know what I'm saying? Like, all right, just picture me coming out of high school. Now, in high school, I was always like, the class clown, the entertaining guy. But in high school, man, I was a show opener for a lot of artists that came through North Carolina, South Carolina. Kwame, Digital Underground, Tracy Spencer, Chubb Rock, all those people. So I'm playing football and all this thing, did my thing. I got locked up, man, a couple of times. More than two or three times, man. I met a guy named Jack Crockett in the halfway house, and him and his brother started professional wrestling in the south with Ric Flair, mcta, the Rory, all those guys. So it's like he introduced me to professional wrestling, man. I kind of turned him down a couple of times. But I was at the point in my life, man, where I was like, I was ready to get off the street. I had kids. I started giving up. I started giving her down, you know what I'm saying? You know, you're going to be having that attitude of that, you know what I'm saying? I don't give up, you know what I'm saying? But I started caring, dog. And it was like I got sick and tired of being sick and tired.
- [09:15]
R-Truth
Yeah.
- [09:15]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
So me wanting to be this rap star, man, this big rap legend the whole time, but hitting all these adversities in life, man, and going up on the streets and doing this and that, man, and just being tired, but not knowing what I want to do, you know what I'm saying? So I know what it's like to have that confusion of what I want to do with my life, man. I'm like 24, 23, 24, 25 years old, back and forth to jail, trying to do it on the streets, trying to. But I justified it because I was paying for the limos. I was paying for me my dancers outfits. I was paying for the studio time. I was like, you know what I'm saying?
- [09:48]
R-Truth
You was for real.
- [09:49]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
I was for real with it, bro. I was trying to make something happen.
- [09:52]
R-Truth
People from our city don't have dancers. It's just them and they. Buddy dj, bro.
- [09:56]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Nah, I was taking. I was doing it, though. I was trying to really move it, man. I want to be the next MC album back then, dog.
- [10:01]
R-Truth
That's why he said the limo, he said the dance.
- [10:03]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
But, yeah, but I was giving a show, dog. Everybody. All the rappers back then, my time was they stayed. They lane, and I stayed in mine, man. Mine was more like what you see me do now, like, entertaining. I like, like a show, dog. So anyway, back to story. Got jammed up, man. Met Jack Crocker in the halfway house. Now, the deputies were trying to get someone to invest in my music career. If they got somebody to invest my music career, I become a big rap star, and they can get out of the jailhouse and be my personal security. That was the plan. But they ran into Jack Crockett. And Jack Crockett was like, nah, I think he should do this. And he took me to three WCW shows. And I saw Ric Flair come down the ramp, man. And Crockett's like, see, that could be you. You rapping and you dance and you get in the ring. And you can mix all this stuff you was doing in jail with the wrestling, and you'd be the first of your kind. And you make money. And you better invest in yourself, and you won't need nobody else to invest in you. That's what got me involved with wrestling, man.
- [10:57]
R-Truth
That's crazy how that all came through.
- [10:59]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
You take a different route, brother. You get where you want to go to, man. I feel like life, the universe, God, man, we got resources and tools out here to use, man. But we be living so fast, and life be life enough. We don't take time to, like. And sometimes we'll get. We'll hit that brick wall where you have to take time, like. Cause some of us don't learn or pick a better play or choose different. But. But I did something I never thought about doing. Professional wrestling.
- [11:23]
R-Truth
That's crazy, man. Now you get to showcase your music on one of the biggest platforms.
- [11:27]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
See what I'm talking about? It kind of worked out for me. Never even knew that would happen like that. That's my audience, bro. I'm talking about, like, to be able to go worldwide, bro, to have them singing my song. I wrote what's Up? In a trailer, dog. You know what I'm saying? Like, in Tennessee, I wrote what's Up, Dog. So it's like to go to Egypt or Poland or Alaska, whatever. And these people singing my song, dog.
- [11:49]
R-Truth
Damn near free promo, bro. You won't.
- [11:52]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
You won. It's a win. It'll be easy to get there. But you just. Man, I'm a living testimony for anybody, bro. Like, yeah, to, like, keep going, keep going. You know what I'm saying? Regards to how I look, how I feel. You know what I'm saying? You human. You're going to go through it. Don't worry about the rain, man. Like, most people, like, they don't like to get to go through the storm is nothing. Like, I just learned how to adjust in that mug, you know what I'm saying? Keep it moving, right?
- [12:19]
R-Truth
Nah, for sure, man. That's a hell of a story. Cause that song, Platinum. Like, my nephew was. He grew up a wrestling fan before you got in here. He was just like, what's up?
- [12:28]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Yeah, what's up?
- [12:29]
R-Truth
Like, what's that feeling like you coming down the ramp and you. You leave gorilla, and you come out and everybody's singing your song, bro.
- [12:36]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
That's like. It's an overwhelming feeling, man, to know where I come from with that. Like, you telling y', all, man, like, me sitting in my son. My studio is in my son's room. You know what I'm saying? Have it like that. So, I mean, me writing that song, man, and, you know, filling in with a little bit of what I went through with the song. Like, a lot of people even heard I did a listening session last night at Cultivated Magic in New York, and I was letting people know. A lot of people never heard the full version of what's Up? Cause they just seen me come out of the ring with the what's Up? But that speaks about everything I done did, you know what I'm saying? The adversities and being where I'm at and the appreciative I've received from people. And if you listen to the full song of what's up, it's in there.
- [13:20]
R-Truth
I asked a question. Obviously, you come out, you geek. Everybody playing your music vibes is right. How do you stay focused on going to wrestle after that? Because if I walk out to 20,000 people singing my song, fuck, whatever that's about to do. It's lit right now. I want to go party. But you still got. You got to stay locked in.
- [13:35]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
I'm locked in. I'm just giving you part of me before I get in there, okay. You're gonna see the other part of me. What I'm saying, it's different levels to this. You know what I'm saying? So it's you locked in. You focus same way as Rock. Go out there or take her or Austin.
- [13:49]
R-Truth
Yeah.
- [13:50]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
When you hear that, can you smell? He's locked in. He's in the thing, but he's mad when he out there. You know what I'm saying? When you're that glass break, you know what I'm saying? You know, you stay locked in.
- [13:59]
R-Truth
What's the hardest part about wrestling, though? Like, I always want to ask one of y' all that.
- [14:05]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Right? I would say, like, he Psychology.
- [14:10]
R-Truth
Yeah. Yeah. Mental.
- [14:12]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Well, no, in the ring. Oh. Like you should be. You gotta land in that ring and know where you at all the time.
- [14:16]
R-Truth
Okay.
- [14:17]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
I don't care what telling a story. Because these people, these audience. There's people that watch this stuff, man, and keep up with it. It's a soap opera.
- [14:25]
R-Truth
Oh, yeah, he is.
- [14:26]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
And yeah, but I'm sure you like, bro. No, that wasn't supposed to happen this night. Yeah, so it's like a lot of guys being able to learn, be able to tell that story.
- [14:37]
R-Truth
Okay.
- [14:38]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Not just so much as doing moves or wrestling fans have seen it all. When you can. When you can, like, have that ring awareness, that psychology, to be able to tell a story. And in the wrestling business, we say you never stop learning, just like in life. Yeah, but you never stop learning. You know what I'm saying? So.
- [14:53]
R-Truth
Okay. All right, man. One of our favorite parts of the show, man child moments. What's that movement like for? You know what I'm saying? Obviously, you get to wrestling, you find your footing. What's that first moment like? You get that first check. Nothing responsible. Would you go crash out? You went crazy for the first big.
- [15:06]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Boy check, man, that first check, bro. I think I stared at it for a while, you know what I'm saying? I just stared at for a while, man. And to come from like hustling on the street, man, and like doing all kind of like street stuff. Horses.
- [15:23]
R-Truth
Nickelback, yo, you know what I'm saying?
- [15:25]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
All of them. You going from an age and you go to your saying, get that quarter. Just kidding, just kidding. But yeah, man, that first legit check, dog, from, from, from a dream to like being offered something, to going against the grain, to like going that way to get to a different route, man, and like the right way. And I got kids, bro, sometimes you got to pat yourself on the back and that was one of the moments. I pat myself on the back from ww, bro, Like a check, bro. It was like.

San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team. We need veteran players and we need young players. Like you're building a team from scratch and so the succession plan of long term success needs to be defined. We need to embrace this community. When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile. Pouring rain. Just watching the fans jumping up and down, I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was Going to be my life.

Freddy Prinze Jr.
That's gonna buy plenty of black horses then.
- [21:41]
R-Truth
Yeah, that's crazy. That's a fast forward. But like obviously what you've been around for so long, the way that wrestling is like evolved especially with social media stuff like that. Like you coming out making music now you got a chance to your songs to go on streaming platforms where you could be an artist, dang or indirectly. What's that like? Especially with the exposure that you have. Cause wrestling's only growing more and more. Like we got these dope venues that going SummerSlam two days now. Like it's more exposure now than ever.
- [22:07]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Yeah, but it's. It's amazing, man. It's almost like I wrote my own story. We just talked about stories.
- [22:13]
R-Truth
Yeah.
- [22:14]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
And bro, like well, I did a country album and one of the songs on that man is called Moments. Right. And it's like we came up with moments cause like life situations, us. But we create moments and situations create moments for us all the time.
- [22:32]
R-Truth
Yeah.
- [22:32]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
And sometimes a lot of good come out of bad moments. A lot of good things, a lot of good moments. So man, it's like we just have to take more chances, man. And take every moment we can get when it Happens, man. You gotta take advantage of it, execute it, man. Like, become that moment. And like, bro, I just, like, I try to execute every chance, every opportunity I get, man, to, like, exhale and exhale. And I feel like I rewrote my chapter. When I told you, like, trying to be that big rap star to, like, going a different route to getting with Jack Crocker, to get into professional wrestling to now, man, we had this era where, like, social media back when I was doing it, but it wasn't on social media like that. So it's social media now, and, like, people are more engaging and watching and seeing you and, like, the moment, the opportunities is there, dawg. So it's like, with the music, it's just taking off because my hardcore fans is now being exposed to my music. So it's like something like a domino effect, man. Things just is lining up now for me.
- [23:32]
R-Truth
Was it easy for you to adjust to social media when it got to popping?
- [23:35]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Oh, hell no, man. No, that's like, bro, I ain't that old, man. He make it seem like I don't deal with him now. I'm saying right now, on the pigeon foot.
- [23:45]
R-Truth
Nah, I seen you on TikTok doing your thing, so I know you come. Well, now I'm just initially hit.
- [23:52]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Did you.
- [23:52]
R-Truth
You know, I mean, was you ready for it?
- [23:53]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Like, I was ready for it, okay. But I went back from you got mail, you know what I'm saying? So. Yeah, yeah, bro. The first one called Tom. Everybody had Tom at the MySpace, right?
- [24:07]
R-Truth
You had your page.
- [24:08]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Never even met Tom. Yeah, dog. Yeah, bro, but it's. Remember that. Yeah, but tonight, bro, have one. What? TikTok is so, so big now. Like, in the pandemic, when I came, bro, I just. Matt Hardy, I gotta thank him. Matt Hardy got me into, like, social media. YouTube was the thing first, right? YouTube started, like. And Matt would do these videos, and he was like, bro, you should do videos on your music. And like, I'm like, oh, okay, Matt. You know what I'm saying? Like, Matt was putting me on game with it. And that was before social media was popping like that. And it just got my interest in my. That's became this grind, you know what I'm saying? Like, so I'm like, I need to get into Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, any and everything that's popping as a social media, man. I gravitate to it, man, because that's a way, a direct way of reaching your audience, man, and just almost like reinventing yourself, adapting and evolving and Just keeping that moving, right?
- [25:05]
R-Truth
Yeah, yeah. Can I ask you a question? Like, being a fan of wrestling, growing up, I didn't know the backstories of wrestlers or I didn't know how the nuances of wrestling. But now, like having a documentary on Netflix where they talk about what's really going on behind the scenes, like letting us know about the refs talking and kind of guiding the matches and things like that. Would you ever think it'd get to that point where like, they alleged people in like that?
- [25:29]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
What you mean as far as like.
- [25:31]
R-Truth
Knowing, like they let us in, like the fans, like, now we know what's.
- [25:35]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
In David Copperfield hat. Yeah, yeah. See, it was the rabbit.
- [25:39]
R-Truth
Yeah.
- [25:43]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
It doesn't bother me though, for the fact that like, we know those movies ain't real, right? We know there's a director and they got. We know that. But somehow we blocked that shit out. And you want to pick this apart because, you know, but still you have to give the ref, the production crew, the producers. There's so many hands and there's so many ingredients. It take to make this cake. You see what I'm saying? And when you make that cake, bro, it's like a lot of people can't be executed. And they know. And you know, you could be the referee, but that referee job is so important. That referee is keeping us in queue and stuff. The referee listening to the truck and that referee is listening to the cameras on there.
- [26:26]
R-Truth
That's correct.
- [26:27]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Half of us can't walk into a Gumby at the same time. See what I'm saying?
- [26:30]
R-Truth
Real talk.
- [26:31]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
And you got to listen to this crowd right here. So all that is playing an element of everything. So. So even though everybody's in the know, sometimes people don't know how to. You know what I'm saying? So. But like, and then putting the match together, it all, bro, like, when you put all them ingredients together, man, everything got to. It got to move on every cylinder.
- [26:50]
R-Truth
Nah. Yeah, I was telling them about that earlier, like, how, how tough it is to put a match together. I'm like, man, I would forget step B step. Like, man, he jumped off the top ropes. I might still be over here. I would have messed the matches up. Has that ever happened to you?
- [27:04]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
What's that?
- [27:05]
R-Truth
Or you like kind of jumped off the script or whatever that happens. Yeah.
- [27:10]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
If we got like a say, we got a 10 minute match. But you got to put in time for you to go out there, you got to put in your commercial time. And when you go to commercial, bro, you still working?
- [27:21]
R-Truth
Yeah.
- [27:22]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
You still working? Sometime the match before you might go over. So everything you talked about, you gonna do out there, squad that. We gotta change that. So you gotta get go on the fly.
- [27:31]
R-Truth
Yeah.
- [27:32]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Watching you, and you got the ref telling you, and they telling them, okay, we got like 10, we got four minutes. So you got to know exactly what you can do, how you can deliver executed in four minutes. You don't want to go. Overtime is money.
- [27:43]
R-Truth
Yeah.
- [27:43]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Facts. So it's like, a lot of people can't work under that pressure. And, like, you should be able to go to that ring and we know what the finish is, and that's it, bro. We're going to call that out in the ring.
- [27:54]
R-Truth
I know what I'd be terrible at wrestling.
- [27:57]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
And the referee is giving you times, she's giving you. All she's giving you is the time. And so you got to, like, it's. It's a combination of stuff that works together, and you'd be surprised the people that will pick it apart like, ah, man, that figure my mess. And that a lot of people can't. Can't wear them boots, bro.
- [28:12]
R-Truth
That's a fact. I don't feel me aspect of it. It's so crazy.
- [28:17]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Oh, bro. When I first started, man, when I first started training, though, seriously, bro, I would sit there and go sit down, look at tv, bro, and my nose just started bleeding just from like, weeks of training. Falling my back. Falling my back. The rolls. The physical aspect of learning, the formula. It's a formula to wrestling.
- [28:38]
R-Truth
Yeah. Yeah.
- [28:39]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
It ain't just no. Yeah.
- [28:40]
R-Truth
So sitting there chilling your nose, get the bleed.
- [28:45]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
It just trickles down, bitch. Yeah.
- [28:50]
R-Truth
Listen, I know you play football. I know that's the best, but that's a different type of game, Brook.
- [28:53]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
But I gotta fight football because I got tired of the injuries.
- [28:56]
R-Truth
Yeah.
- [28:56]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
You got to understand, I said I was. I was a willing vessel. I wanted to do anything to get off them streets, dog. I was ready to, like. Yeah. I had to take care of my kids. I had to be a man. I had to, like. I had to. I had to step up to the plate. So he was like, damn, I got out of football, but he offered me this wrestling. All right, let me go up in there. But I got bit by the bug. Them injuries was just. They became injuries. Yeah. I done had, like, C6, C7 vertebrae, both shoulders dislocated. I had three broke ribs, one cracked over here. I had my chest stern cracked, dislocated hip, patellar tendon surgery, quad tendon when I first came back, three metatarsal bones broken. My foot, I had broke that orbital. So, yeah, you get the injuries, bro, but similar.
- [29:46]
R-Truth
AI carried it down. Yeah, bro. Okay, man, he went for a nose bleeding.
- [30:13]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
I don't even know why. A nose bleeding? Yeah, that was just a start, dog.
- [30:16]
R-Truth
Yeah, so that. But when did you. What year did you get comfortable in the WWE or whatever?
- [30:21]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Like it. Comfortable?
- [30:22]
R-Truth
Yeah, like when you was like, all right, I'm here now.
- [30:25]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Like, oh, when I signed that call, when I got that check. Yeah, when I first. When I first. You know, you have to go through developmental.

Freddy Prinze Jr.
But when they tell you, you know, we're gonna just have that. That not mature guy from the street now, you know, I got the contract, I'm happy about. I'm doing something different. Okay. I'm ready to go send you to Memphis, learn how to wrestle our way. Now. We're going to teach you that psychology. We're going to teach you that ring awareness wrestling ain't just wrestling, but it's a whole. It's a. It's a business. So me learning that, learning that. I heard we're going to have you down there for six months. You're going to be on tv. That stay locked in my head, dog. Don't stay locked into your set plan or whatever, because plans are subject to change. So it's like six months came, bro. I wasn't out of there. I got relationship at home, man. It ain't going right. I'm going through like this mental stuff. Like, I'm like. And I'm doing good in Memphis. I'm doing something totally different. I'm on the contract this night, but I was just in my own head, man. And I remember my contract was coming up and, bro, I wasn't gonna resign it. Didn't know what I was gonna do. I was gonna go back to Charlotte, though. They want to resign it. And Road Dog came down there and saw me. And that's when he was like, hey, man, you wanna be my partner? Tag on me and Billy. I said, man, I'm about to quit, dog. I said, this ain't for me, dog. I tried, man. He said, bro, what are you talking about? He said, bro, you just like me inside your head. You can have it. Just give me a couple months, man. I have you up there with me.

You started off in this situation because, you know what I'm saying, you want to provide for your family, and now your kids get to see you grow at the same time they growing. What's that like now? To see the reception of who you are, the respect you get from the community, and then to see, like, you accomplishing everything in real time, bro.

San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team. We need veteran players and we need young players. Like you're building a team from scratch and so the succession plan of long term success needs to be defined. We need to embrace this community. When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile. Pouring rain. Just watching the fans jumping up and down, I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me.

Freddy Prinze Jr.
And my. I got the bubble Gus a little bit, and I come up the top rope.
- [47:05]
R-Truth
You knew instantly it was over with.
- [47:07]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Oh, bro. I knew immediately. Immediately. And it wasn't even a lot. I had on the tight boxes, but it wasn't even a lot. Fact. Simple fact of that got mushy because.
- [47:16]
R-Truth
Of that leg drop. You sitting down there, bro?
- [47:22]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
No, it happened. That's not like, one.
- [47:24]
R-Truth
I wasn't expecting that. That's the crazy. That's the crazy moment right there.
- [47:27]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
That'll get you right.
- [47:28]
R-Truth
Yeah, man. What a moment.
- [47:31]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
I mean, injuries, dog. You just keep going, man. Like, even with my patella tendon, dog, I was running. A lot of people don't know, like, a patella injury is just. You could just simply be running that. It pops.
- [47:43]
R-Truth
Yeah, yeah. You know?
- [47:45]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Yeah. I have a move. I do I go run and I do up and about the corner and the back flip before I even got to the corner. As soon as I touched the apron, I felt the power pop.
- [47:55]
R-Truth
Damn.
- [47:56]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
And I'm already in motion up in the air, so I had to come down on one foot. Then I did the back flip and when I tried to stand, you know, the patella, there was nothing there. I collapsed. Then I tried to stand back up, but you got a. It's a hole right there in your knee. So it was like it was done. Quad tendon. That happened on NXT wrestling. Grayson Waller. And it's again, Running Dog. And most of those injuries not from, like, hard. Definite impact. It's. You do, though.
- [48:24]
R-Truth
So we're in tear. That's why I always tell people like you feel how you want to about the production aspect of it, but, man, for you to be a athlete, to do wrestling consistently and as much as y' all wrestle, especially with y' all traveling schedule, the way y' all have to take care of y' all bodies and be on the road consistently, not staying at home, different hotels.
- [48:40]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Yeah, there's.
- [48:40]
R-Truth
There's number of respect for y'. All. Yeah.

Freddy Prinze Jr.
Oh, appreciate it. Appreciate it, man.
- [48:44]
R-Truth

- [48:45]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Yeah, it's a grind. It's a hustle, man. It's demanding. It's. I mean, you gotta commit to it.
- [48:51]
R-Truth
How many off days do you say you have now?
- [48:53]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
We have a lot more.
- [48:54]
R-Truth
Okay.
- [48:55]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Now it's totally different. It's different than I used to work 280 days a year. Well, that's what it was, though. Like when I say missing those birthdays, anniversary, that's when we was working. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. No, it was Thursday. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. I would go home to be home Tuesday and Wednesday, though, and that happened like. Like year round. I would be home two days. Occasionally we'll get that third day home, but other than that.
- [49:22]
R-Truth
Yeah, And a lot of times, them, like, I know it wasn't always flying. Sometimes they had to drive a different city.
- [49:26]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
Four hours, two hours usually. Anything over, like five hours, they drive, they fly us. But that's like. Yeah, one show, Thursday, Thursday night. Smackdown. Smackdown used to be on Thursday. Then we do a Friday live event and a Saturday live event Sunday and then a Monday Raw. And then, you know what I'm saying, Fly home. Tuesday you home. Tuesday you sleep home Wednesday. Then Thursday you ride back out again in. You do that for a while. And I've been doing it for so many years, man. You get adjusted. You get adjusted, you get it's routine to you now.
- [49:57]
R-Truth
Yeah.
- [49:58]
Freddy Prinze Jr.
