[Diamond Dallas Page]

Liberty, Liberty. The following Program is a podcast ONE.com production from Hollywood, California, by way of the Broken Skull Ranch. This is the Steve Austin Show.

[Steve Austin]

Give me a hell yeah. Hell yeah.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Now here's Steve Austin.

[Steve Austin]

All right, everybody. Welcome to Steve Austin Show. I am coming to you from the main streets of Los Angeles, CA today from sitting here at 317 Gimmick street doing open booth podcast. Just got out of the shower, just had a hellacious workout. Changed things up for a little bit of variety. Man, I was getting stale doing like chest on Monday, back on Tuesday, shoulders on Wednesday, arms on Thursday, legs on Friday. I was just getting tired of hitting everything once a week. And then if I was doing chest and tries and everything twice a week, I just, I just needed to change. So what I started doing was training my entire body, every single workout. And so I'm in the gym every other day and I'm hitting my entire body or each body part twice every eight days. So that works out good for me. And I'm keeping the volume down. I'll hit a couple of warm up Sets and really do about two working sets, sometimes three, taking those to about failure. Striving to keep my reps, you know, as close to 10 and over 10 as I can get, under 15, more than 8 and just kind of hit a sweet spot. So I'm not tempted to try to train too heavy during the past, trying to get stronger. A few years ago, you know, had some issues just with a shoulder heavy doesn't work for me anymore. It's kind of moderately heavy. Just try to keep the blood flowing. I get a whole body workout. I follow that up with some steady state cardio every other day and then about a 15 minute session of high intensity cardio every every other day. So not too much volume, steady state and then every other day just a little bit of high intensity interval training and then couple that with my DDPY program getting pretty damn limber and I'm getting back in shape. So it's working for me. And hell, I got the man that I just got finished talking about here right now on the podcast, Diamond Dallas Page, my old buddy, my friend from the business of professional wrestling. A guy that I've traveled many miles down the road with my roommate when I lived in. First came to LA about 14 years ago and he went back to Atlanta. I'm still out here on the Left Coast. A guy that I've known forever and came up with a hell of a damn program. Stopped by the Crib today while he was on his way to go watch John Morrison get married. He came by and put me through a very intense workout. It was a damn good workout. And we're going to talk about DDP yoga, we're going to talk about business of pro wrestling, what the independent scene's doing, hyperbaric chambers, all kinds of cool shit. Dallas is busy as hell and it was good to see him here live and in living color. And I'm on the program and I've committed to this program for many, many months. I'm keeping you guys posted on my progress. But anyway, I'm not going to drag this open out. I'm going to get right into it and I'm going to get right back with Diamond Dallas Page talking about DDP yoga and everything else underneath the sun.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

This is the Steve Austin show, all

[Steve Austin]

right, I'm sitting here rolling sound at 317 Gimmick Street. I got diamond Dallas Page, my old bud, my own roommate, travel partner, fellow hall of famer, dragging up on this side of the podcast out here prowling the mean streets of Los Angeles, California, out here on the West Coast. What brings you to town, man?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Actually, Johnny. Johnny Hennigan, Johnny Morrison. Johnny Nitro. Johnny Lucha Libre. You know Johnny John Morrison. Yes. Good. Good man. Good man. Him and his beautiful wife Kara, they're getting married today, matter of fact.

[Steve Austin]

What time's the wedding?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Seven o'.

[Steve Austin]

Clock.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

And I didn't realize that, Claremont. You know, I thought it was like 40 minutes. And I forgot to factor in the LA traffic, which just made that 2 hours and 45 minutes. But my wife's like, 2 hours and 45 minutes. I'm like, Baby, we leave at 4:00'. Clock. We're good. We'll be there for the wedding.

[Steve Austin]

Where you guys staying?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Staying. Santa Monica. La Meridian, I think it's called.

[Steve Austin]

Big Time in it. It's a nice place now.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

It is, yeah. It's not too far from there, but, you know, it's. It's. You know, man, I'm a. There's two things I'm a big snob about. One is water. I ain't just drinking any water. Well, it's three. Three things. Food. I'm a snob about food. I want to eat real food. And hotels, like, I want to sleep in a. No, nothing less than a four star hotel because I need the bed and I need the restaurant to get the food.

[Steve Austin]

Dude, how many shitbox hotels are we staying back in the day? And I gotta go back to that one. It was. It was. It was a Motel 6 or Red Roof.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Where?

[Steve Austin]

That's where me and Mick ribbed you. Red Roof is.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

No, don't get row.

[Steve Austin]

Red Roof is pretty nice hotel.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

No. Yeah, but I'm not gonna.

[Steve Austin]

I don't want to stay at one now. Yeah, I mean, if I was on the road going to Texas, I would.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Right, Right.

[Steve Austin]

But, yeah, these days, if I'm gonna stay somewhere, that's not where I'm. But we. We stayed at some of the worst hotels back in the day to try to save money. And then you come with all those damn gimmick things. You were so far ahead of the game as far as trying to take care of your body with all the ice packs, both elbows, knees. It was ridiculous. And I, like, I used to rip. Everybody started this story because you've been on podcast so many times. But I didn't need an ice cooler. If I could just strap or Velcro one of those beers down on any one of Paige's joints. Problem was, the dude was always walking around naked. So from 10 foot away in Dallas, you pitch me a beer,

[Diamond Dallas Page]

you know, one of the things that. When Mick was talking and I forgot, he would say. And Dallas is walking around with. You can hear. Because he's got plat. What's it called? The Saran Wrap around his knees. And I thought the first time I heard him do it in his comedy bit, I thought, oh, that's right. You're talking about 10 years ago, you know, at that point when I first heard him do it. So it was more like 20 years ago now. But I'm thinking, oh, the Saran Wrap was. Because you talk about holding back the hands of time. Yeah. I was putting DMSO on my knees, which they gave the horse raises because my knees were really, really bad.

[Steve Austin]

But this is way back in the day. And for those people that don't know what DMSO is. Dimethyl. I can't pronounce it now that nowadays, but it was like a clear stuff. And, like, what we used to do was crunch up a bunch of bare aspirin and put that on the dmso and that sucked it in through your skin and went to whatever is ling you.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Well, if you had a. Let's say you had a blue towel and you put gmso on, and then you put the towel on your knee, the blue would get pulled into your knee, Right. So that's why Saran Wrap, you know, because it couldn't. It would just work on your knees. And I swear to God, that stuff helped me now.

[Steve Austin]

Yeah, I know, but there ain't no. There ain't no telling how many damn pounds of dirt that I absorbed into my body. Because, you know, sometimes you're just not in a clean situation. But that goes back to the Saran Wrap, right. And as soon as you got that stuff, when it started being absorbed by your body, you get that taste in your mouth because you knew that it entered your system, Right. That was like gold.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Yeah. I don't know if the guy. If the boys use that anymore, I don't think. I never heard anybody use it.

[Steve Austin]

Well, dude. But this is back in the caveman days when this was live, when hardly race was the chiropractor of the territory.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Yes. He was.

[Steve Austin]

Almost pulled my head off my shoulders. Or you using that little gimmick thing, little pressure point release.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Your point, dude. You should see the stuff I have today. It's like a whole nother. I'm like, I'm from Mars right now.

[Steve Austin]

Hey, man, speaking about eating, Chris and I were at a restaurant in Nevada, Dave. Because I'm a food snob as well.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Yeah.

[Steve Austin]

I mean, I know good food. And one of the things about. I'm not snob, dude. I. I go through Taco bell, burn through 30.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

No way, no way, no way. They're not a sponsor here, but no way. Oh, dude, good God, stop the insanity, dude.

[Steve Austin]

Back in the day, I'd ride over whether it's Taco Bell, this out, or whatever I do. I know shit food and I know good food.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Right?

[Steve Austin]

And my wife happens to just be. Her passion is cooking.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Yeah.

[Steve Austin]

So. And such an awesome cook. Yeah. I know good from bad. So anyway, it's. And you know, it's also about the service, too.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Right.

[Steve Austin]

You know, and so we go to this restaurant in Nevada. We're still scoping everything out there. We're trying to learn everything. And, hey, what's the good restaurants? What's the bad restaurants? And like I said, dude, man, I've been all over the world. I know good food, right? Anyway, we go to this place and a waiter guy has his French accent, and that's cool. Talks to the French accent, but he was putting it on and on and on, you know, and just. Yeah, it would do. Probably from Biloxi. It was a fake French accent, right. But it's like I was working with him for a little bit, you know, and that's your stick. And, you know, after about five minutes, it's like, dude, I just want some wine. I want some food. I won't get the F out of here. You know what I'm saying? Right? And he's going through his whole routine, and I'm thinking, you know, dude, I'm not a mark. This stuff ain't working for me. I just wanted.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Texas.

[Steve Austin]

Yeah. I'm sitting there with a beautiful view out the window, hanging out with my wife. We're trying to enjoy the moment, and the guy just won't stop at the routine. And so it was turned into a cluster. The food was half ass. But it was just the fact that he was so annoying. It was right. You ever get somebody like that where you got a damn good restaurant, either they don't check on you at all, they check on you too much. Or this guy, he was so stuck in his shtick, I was like, dude, lighten the F up, man. I'm on. The boys don't work me. I just want to eat.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

I'm always figuring out the nicest way to say, can you please leave? The nicest way. Like, oh, that's really good, man. I got to talk to my wife about this.

[Steve Austin]

But here's the thing. We were going to drink a bottle of wine, right? And split it between us. And when I'm drinking, if you order a glass of wine, you want a big pour.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

I want a man's pour.

[Steve Austin]

A man's pour. But if you order a bottle of wine, which we did, I like to drink a short glass, right? You know, that means I just want, like, two or three swigs in there. That's how we both like to drink, right? So he comes over. The bottle is about, you know, almost a third full, Almost half full, right? And so he goes to pour me, and I've got a short pour in there, which I like, right? And I said, no, man, it's cool. I'm driving, which I was. So then he proceeds to pour the rest of the bottle in Christian's glass and damn near fills it to the rim. I'm thinking, that wasn't the point, dude. You know, I'm trying to work with you. I'm trying to just, you know, let you just chill with a bottle. He dumps it also. Anyway, me and my wife sit there and split the glass of wine, and we drive home. But it's like uncle with the wine, I told Chris, next time, I'm just gonna say, listen. I said, with all due respect, I'll control the bottle.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

I've done that. I've done that. I've done that. Yeah, I get that. You know, again, if you. I want a real man's pour. Like, give me a man's pour if I'm going into Houston's.

[Steve Austin]

Yeah, but if you're getting. If you're getting a glass, you want the big pour. But if you're drinking a bottle, I just want a little bit of wine at the bottom of my glass so I can breathe. I can just keep pouring that fresh stuff in there and letting it breathe more anyway. It's one of my little things that just grinds my gears.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Right.

[Steve Austin]

You know what? I got a bone to pick with you. Not you, John Morrison. Tell us summits when you see him. But Stone Cold Steve Austin said hello, and thanks for inviting him to the wedding.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Oh,

[Steve Austin]

God dang.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

I thought me and Johnny was closer than that.

[Steve Austin]

My feelings ain't hurt. I wasn't going to go because I don't go anywhere in la, but you could have at least invited me, being a fellow Los Angelean.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Well, I will definitely say that to him. No, just rub it. Just rib him for me. Of course.

[Steve Austin]

How long you that for?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Literally leaving tomorrow. Yep. I just. I literally came in here to see you see him. His Wife Kara, and. And blow back. And then I want to come back in here because my. One of my good buddies, I don't know. Do you ever meet Dre Andre? No. Andre Brooks?

[Steve Austin]

No.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

No. You have. Yes, you have. You just don't remember. But he is an actor. He's a great kid. Came here, he was. He was a three time. You might remember because he was a three time champion out Glover from Canada. Good looking dude. Bottom line is he's been just hitting the bricks forever out here. And he lands this role because he looks like McQueen. Steve McQueen.

[Steve Austin]

Right?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

And he is starring as McQueen in the movie McQueen. The myth, the man, the legend. They're doing a. Next Saturday. They're doing a. You want to come? I could probably get you tickets. You want to check it out at the. At the Man Theater. They're doing. They're doing a premiere. So Andre, he set me up and he's like, you know, you said you'd come. I said, dude, I'm definitely coming for that. So I'm coming all the way back again with Brent, you know, gonna go see his movie, and I'm sure he's did a hell of a job and he's a great guy, and I wish him all luck in the world. Name's Andre Brooks and I call him Dre. And he's got a new baby that had a little baby. So I'm looking forward to meeting his. His new wife and his, uh. And his baby. Man.

[Steve Austin]

Let's talk about the workout. We just went through ddpy, DDP yoga, and we did. What workout did we do?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Well, we did a version of what would been a combination of energy and fat burner. Sort of combined. I sort of put them together and I did different moves, beginner moves, you know, because I wanted. But we went about 40 minutes, and it's this workout, people. Has been. How long have we been together, bro?

[Steve Austin]

I mean, oh, man, shit. Since mid-90s, early-90s.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

So. But when I. I started this, and you lived with me in 2002, so it's now 2018, so this workout has been 16 years in the making. Well, you did come to my crib

[Steve Austin]

in Malibu that one time when we did a workout.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Right?

[Steve Austin]

Right. And then that was it.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

But, you know, I know what I did. I worked you too hard that time, and I learned. Thank you. No, you don't go in there and say, no, this is the kick ass workout, because I can do that.

[Steve Austin]

Well, yeah, you was trying to prove how macho yoga could be.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Right? Right.

[Steve Austin]

But today, you Took the baby step, me. And just. And it was awesome. I enjoyed it. It was. It was interesting because I don't want to say it was a Zen experience, but it was. And I'm not really a spiritual kind of guy, but it was a kind of a focus as I was watching you. And dude, the way you're trying to, you know, get me to engage my arms, you flex my quads, my glutes, all that stuff, it's concentration.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Great.

[Steve Austin]

So mentally I was there with you and then doing the countdowns and all that other stuff and then some of the movements, which I did okay at, and I needed some assistance from a chair and had some balance issues. But, man, it was a damn good workout. A straight up shoot. Oh, dude, a straight up shoot. And we got on the app, because I've been talking about this ever since I've been doing the reads. You know, get on the app, explore the app. Hey, man, I was on the app. I explored the app and me and Dallas watched shit, 30 or 40 minutes of the app and the different phases of it. It's amazing all the workouts that are in there. And now, because I'm committed to this program, I'm going to give it a shot. And we took, I mean, about five or four pictures.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

That's six pictures. I have these six pictures that I put out there because I want people to see their physiology, their flexibility and their core strength change month to month. And you're going to see it.

[Steve Austin]

Oh, I guarantee I will. But I'll tell you what, man, that downward dog, I always thought that was, man, bullshit downward dog, man. We had that downward dog. You didn't make me hold for long.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

No, I didn't.

[Steve Austin]

But, dude, man, my shoulders and my tries and my arms are on fire. I was like.

[Adam Carolla]

Like

[Steve Austin]

I was about to collapse.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

You know, it's funny part about that is there, there are workouts that I'll go through that are more, you know, advanced down the line and I'll get you into down dog and go, oh. All of a sudden you realize that down dog is kind of a resting position. Not in the beginning, it's not. And you know, for people who have to lose a lot of weight, they. They're carrying a lot of weight in there, not you, but, you know, people who are in that spot and it's tougher. And so that's why I try to make so many modifications. You today on the app that we start, people now in bed, like, we literally created the thing I'm the most proud of recently is DDPY Rebuild, which is Bed Flex, where three workouts in bed for people can't get out of bed, can't work out. Guess what? Yeah, you can. And I can help you get out of that bed and put you in a chair where we got like six or seven workouts there that are designed to get you out of the chair. And then using a chair, which are called stand Strong, and then you work your way to the beginner intermediate. And once you know all the modifications for stand Strong and if you are using the chair, you can do any workout. And that's what I want people to do because it's so empowering and you get the confidence at a different level. You know, Jake Roberts, he just called while we're sitting here. He's the first person that I really understood because he kept saying when he was being interviewed, when we were doing the Resurrection of Jake the Snake. And by the way, you can't find Resurrection Jake the Snake anymore on Netflix because we just took it off and we could have stayed, but we're looking to take it somewhere else now. And we've got. I'll let people know about that when it comes up because a lot of people don't have Netflix, so we want to get it out there, you know, on. In other platforms. But Jake would say in interviews, he would say that it really gives me an inner confidence. And then one day after the interview, I said, jake, I gotta ask you a question, bro. Because I've heard you say this numerous times. I don't know if you're ribbon or whatever, but you said how the program gives you confidence. He goes, seriously? He goes, bro. He goes, I lost that first 10 pounds. He said, that was a win for me. He said, I hadn't had a win in 20 years. I'd let myself go so bad. He goes, and then when you started showing me how to use a chair, I felt like a failure. He goes, but then as I got stronger on the chair and then I didn't need a chair, it took me to a different level. And he goes, now I go back and I use a chair because it actually helps me. He goes, And I feel. It just makes me feel better about me. And I thought, wow. And then I started getting emails from different people and telling me the same kind of stuff. So, I mean, it's really awesome for me and being able to. Sixteen years in the making of this. I remember me, you, and Yoga Doc When Dr. Craig Aaron was visiting and we were writing the first book, Yoga for Regular Guys. And you'd come in and you were hanging out with us for a while. And me and Yoga Doc went back to doing what we were doing for the book. And Doc said, so Steve, you want to join in? You went, yeah, nah, but I, I appreciate the brutality of it. And Yoga Doc remembers that today, man. Oh God, he'll tell that story. I appreciate the brutality. He's the first person I'm call when I leave here.

[Steve Austin]

No, but I'm going to give it a, I'm going to give it a. I'm making a commitment. One of my good friends, Alan from Broken Skull Challenge, he's up in Canada, he's from Vancouver, bc. He's working on a project right now. You know, one of his big things. Find him on Instagram 365Effect. You know, it's all about commitment. And dude, you know, it's just like workouts, it's just like dieting, you know.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Sure.

[Steve Austin]

If you go, if you're trying to stick to a strict diet four days a week and then go to hell for the rest of the three, you ain't gonna make no progress. Nothing with weightlifting. I mean, if you're not constantly trying to do progressive resistance, you know, you're going to stalemate. And so with this, you know, if I apply myself, if I do it once a week, I'll be better, but I'm going to do it more than that. So I'm going to stick with the program. I'm going to see what it can do for me. Because, dude, I was sitting on my ass the other day. I got the worst bruised ass. As you saw wrapping up the program, we were going to sit cross legged on the floor. But that bone, I couldn't do that last session. But I was tying my shoes the other day and I was struggling to bend over, hit my damn shoelace. I said, man, because I've been thinking about this for a long time because we've been talking about this, I've been doing the reads forever, right? I said, dude. And you kept saying, I'm gonna come by, I'm gonna come by, I'm gonna come by. So you came by and we did it. So Stone Cold Steve Austin, I never use that name. I use Steve Austin. My Stone Cold Steve Austin is telling you that in a month, in two months, in three months. And we'll see how the pitchers progress.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Sure.

[Steve Austin]

How's that?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

I love it, man, I love it.

[Steve Austin]

Okay, but before we move on, because I don't want to make this just infomercial about DDP yoga But Dallas came by to specifically turn me onto the program. We've been talking about it forever. How many days a week do I need to do this? Because after doing it this morning, I was like, man, I could do this in the evening just because I enjoyed it that much. But how often would you recommend me doing it so I don't get burned out or don't overdo it?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Well, I'm so glad you said it because as you were talking, I was thinking it, and sometimes I think, don't forget to say that. But you asked me, me, I always tell people, you know, that if you do it three days a week, it will guarantee it will change. DDPY will change the way you feel. But if you do it four days a week, and I'm saying, I say three days a week, I mean three minutes, three days a week, 20 minutes a day, it'll change what you feel. If you do it four days a week, 40 minutes a day. Well, now you start to change your life. But if you start to do it like, like you build up to an hour a day, five days a week, maybe even six some weeks, you start to own your life. And that's where I live. I don't let anybody tell me what I can or can't do. Because, you know, never have, never will. You don't believe in me. I don't care. I believe in me. And that's all it takes is that person listening to this for you to believe in you, that you can do it. And then it'll change so many other things. You know, it's amazing. And I'm just so happy, you know, to be here, because again, a long time to get here, but you get it. And that's all it takes is a switch. Because I know Steve Austin, I know Steve Williams. I know the man. And when you get something, you go, well, damn, that makes me feel good. And I feel stronger and I feel more unstoppable. And that's the one little plug I do want to put in. And I want to talk about this when it goes live on Amazon. I wrote a book. I just finished it. I just sent it to the publisher. I'm talking about Random House and called Positively the Art of Owning It.

[Steve Austin]

You never told me about that.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

I've been working on it for over a year. I've got so many great stories in and out of writing the book. Forget about what the book's about, the writing of the book, and I'll save them for one now because it's going to be my Goal. You know, I've written two books. Neither one were bestsellers. Both one I self published and one was a tiny book company called that Was Yoga for Regular Guys. But this goal, this time I'm setting a goal that I'm gonna make it a New York Times bestseller. And I know that this book is worthy of that. It's worthy of me setting the goal out there and putting it out in the universe. Because, you know, I believe and so do you about believing the law of attraction. You throw it out there and we made shit happen like that people only dream about. But we saw it first. We saw it ever happen, you know, before anybody else did. And that's what this book's about. And it's changing your mindset.

[Steve Austin]

It's.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

It's all about owning it. And it can be anything. It could be DDP yoga, it can be how you eat. It could be your health. It could be a relationship with your son, your daughter, your wife. I don't care what it is. This book will help you and teach you how to do what I've been doing my whole life, you know, because again, the only person who's got to believe your shtick is you, you know, so it's ready.

[Steve Austin]

Okay. But when we was looking at that app and you're on the app and you're scrolling through all these workouts, it's really, really cool and really well thought out.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Steve Yu, as you know, had a huge part in this and my whole team there at DDP Yoga.

[Steve Austin]

But so when you're putting this program together or the DDPY app, which I have installed, and now you have this book that you're talking about and I've known you forever, but I didn't know forever that you had dyslexia. So now after all your years of experience, you know, how is the writing process of putting stuff like this together for you?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Oh, it's tough. It's tough. And I brought a guy in and I'm going to save the story for that when we talk about the book. But I brought a guy in to help me with it. But I still wrote a ton of this, like handwritten. Like, not handwritten, but, you know, computer and wrote and rewrote and it takes, you know, like for anybody doesn't know I was reading at a third grade level. Tejas of 30, you know this. But I. When I grew up, no one knew what the hell ADD or dyslexia was. But I knew I wasn't stupid, you know, but I just couldn't get it. You know, and it took coming here, you know, I started learning how to read when I was 30, 31. So I made the decision I was going to learn how to read. I set a goal. I was going to read my first book from COVID to cover. I set a goal for myself because that was daunting to me. Overwhelming to a degree. I said, a goal is going to read one page a day from that book. And I owned it. But I changed my circumstance, Steve. I wrote Read Today. And I put it everywhere. I put it all over. It was on my bed stand, my night, my mirror. My bathroom was on my refrigerator. It stayed there until I finished reading that book. Okay, now. And it was. And it was about Lee Iacocca. It was his autobiography. Who? I thought he was a fascinating guy, and he was a juggernaut. He was a trailblazer on a lot of different things. So. So for me, okay, you did that. What do you do next? And then I just kept applying it. And I still didn't know I had dyslexia until Kimberly had diagnosed it, you know, and then I came here when we were living together. I don't think I ever told you this. I think you had already left. You had already gone off your own place. But I met a guy surfing. In a surfing accident. He ended up getting gashed open and everything. And his name was Billy Forte. And when we sat down and met and had some dinner and some drinks, we started talking about dyslexia. He goes, I'm dyslexic. I go, no kidding? He goes, hey, man, you need to go to the ERAS Learning center, which is right over there in Culver City. He goes, I had a woman named rose. She was 78 years old as my teacher. She's amazing. Ask for her. By the time I got the rose, she was 85.

[Steve Austin]

Jesus.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

And I went and see Rose every Tuesday and every Thursday. And I would put my hour in. She said I took home more homework than any student she ever had. Now, a guy who never did homework, I paid kids, you know, or buddied up with kids that did my homework, you know, so it was legible and readable. But I also told them, don't make it too good, because they're gonna know, you know, back then. And so now I'm doing homework. And I'll tell you that the things that they taught me at that ERAS Learning center, it changed things how my brain saw things in a way. I focus, so. But it still takes a long time, you know, it takes it. It takes me A long time to write something of substance.

[Steve Austin]

How tough was running a nightclub back in Florida in your heyday? Was that just numbers? Did you get numbers better than you get letters that.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Yes and no. Yeah, numbers, numbers. I'm really good at numbers. But I had. I don't know if you remember Larry Smokey Gento.

[Steve Austin]

Yeah.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Yes, Smoke. You know, he wrote my first book with me and he wrote most of it, but I still wrote pieces of it. You know, it was still all my words. But it was also guys like you and guys that were involved because we let. He was like the autobiographer. I was the biographer. No, he was the biographer. I was the autobiographer. And then guys like you or, you know, friggin Jon Bon Jovi or Jay Leno or, you know, Hulk Hogan, you know, they told their story and we use that. That story that they remembered. But Smokey was. I called him the word man. And what happened is I'd written the sign up and I took enough time that I could write the sign like hot legs, you know, watermelon shots, whatever the promotion was that we had going. And I handed it to him and he looks at me and he goes, what idiot wrote this? And I looked at him, I go, I did. Now he don't know me from Adam. He just knows me for, you know, about a month at that point, right? And he just, his jaw just dropped. I grabbed him, I said, don't worry about it. I said, reading really bad, it's bad for me and writing. I go, I go, stay close. I go, just rewrite it. You know what I want, right? He goes, I know what you want. And he would be a conduit for me for a long time in between that. Marlon was like that too for me. You know, Marlon was, you know, he helped write me write a lot of stuff. And what was really fascinating when he would listen to my read because I started writing a version of Positively Unstoppable, I called living life at 90%. When Kimberly and I split up, I started writing that book because I needed that book. You know, we'd write stuff together, right? And then I'd read it back and he would listen to me and he would go, man, he goes, I cannot believe how much better you're reading. It still sucked, right? But so because I would read out loud, that takes guts.

[Steve Austin]

Yeah.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

You know, especially, you know, when you're in front of your buddy. And that's the only reason I ever really, you know, that Kim ever said anything about it because I was reading out loud sometimes I was practicing that. See, so many people don't want to practice what they're bad at. They want to practice what they're good at. Well, you're already good at that. You know, maybe practice what you're not so good at, because that's how you're really going to get better and get a whole nother inner confidence. But, you know, that whole reading thing, writing thing, I actually have. Some of the ones I used to send out of was my version I was going to put up on the union of diamond cutters, and then someone would rewrite it. But when I would go back and read that, I would be like, even today, it's still like, I could reread something 10 times, rewriting it and then still put it on, tweet and go, damn it. Catch it, then cut, paste, delete, fix it. Put it back up there, because it's me doing it now, you know?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

This is the Steve Austin Show.

[Steve Austin]

What are y' all doing next at ddb? Yoga. Got the book coming out, but I mean, like, just within the project, like you mentioned. Steve, you. What's the task at hand? What's the next focus? How do you grow the thing from where it's already at? Because I never believed you'd get this far, dude. I mean, I'm. Dude.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

No, I get it.

[Steve Austin]

You're like a brother to me. I remember I would come down from my room and Dallas and I lived on the top floor of his condo in the living area and his office and the kitchen and everything was downstairs. So I had a smaller bedroom, of course, because I was leasing from Dallas. It was his crib. I would come downstairs, me and Dallas shoot the breeze. Normally, I'd be hungover. Well, Dallas would already be down there every single morning working on that God dang yoga for regular guys. And I'm thinking, dude, regular guys don't do yoga. And I'm thinking, what is this guy doing? I mean, every single day. He just wouldn't quit. I think, man, this thing ain't going nowhere. So when I rolled up at your facility a couple years ago when I was filming Redneck island out at Lake Hartwell, when I rolled into the DDP headquarters, DP Yoga headquarters, I was like. I was just, like, blown away. I was like, God dang, dude. I thought it was gonna be like. Like some little box that we're. We're in right now in this little, you know, my little studio, which is. Has no decoration whatsoever. And it was a state of the art facility with the green screen, the badass gourmet thing, all the offices. I was like, holy shit, I'm so proud of you. Because I never in a million years, I swear you, I'm telling you straight to the face.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

I know.

[Steve Austin]

I never thought of turning away. Turning into.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Well, you know, we're, you know, me and Steve, you know, we. We got a great team of people there, you know, you know, the guys who are, you know, our editors and everything, they're like family, you know, and everybody puts the work in, you know, we. We've grown in the way that now we have a head of social media. Rachel's our head of social media. We've got Mandy, who is our. She's our, you know, she's our project manager, but she's so much more than that, you know. Tyler, you know, oversees, like, all the graphic designs that we do and everything out so many different things. And, you know, the editors, like Dylan, who started with me as a kid trying to lose weight, now is one of my best editors on the planet. And one of the boys, you know, because he's. He runs his wrestling shows every three months. And, you know, so, you know, we. We've got a really cool guy and I just watched Jericho in an interview. Judas is the song that blew him up huge. Now, again, you've seen the video, right?

[Steve Austin]

Oh, yeah.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Nathan did that. I know Nathan Mowry, you know, one of our guys there. So, you know, we just have such a great crew of guys. So that's. That's the base and that's the. The foundation, you know, for the PC side of it. I got this guy Pat in there who took Hayden's spot who runs our whole. Runs our whole certification part as well with yoga doc and. And Garrett. And these guys are. These guys are walking examples of how to live the life. You know. And you want to feel it and really own it. So that's my foundation. And then of course my old lady too friggin Brenda. She's there to oversee all of our workshops that we're doing all over the world. Like she personally handles all my signings that I'm doing for all the comic cons and all that that we're coming up to. And that's really time for me to talk to people about the program. So that's the total foundation. We just started interviewing for a big advertising. We want to help build our brand. Take it to the next level. Now what things we've never really promoted. You're one of the first people I've really talked about. The DDPY rebuild. We've got a story right now that we're doing and we're going to start doing a webisodes on DDP yoga. It'll also be outplayed. Also my Diamond Dolls page stuff. But it is the story of these people who came in who really need help. And one is a disabled vet. His name is Jerry. He's a great guy. He's 51 years old. He's really beat up. Yes. To use a walker. His goal is just come. Trying to stand and sit down is really a challenge for him. And he's 100% disabled. We brought him in and a couple other people and we're working with all them. Jerry. We started filming and this guy has a light in his eye that Steve you saw. We just did working out together in 45 minutes. Just how much different you felt in that little bit of period. I've been with him a week and my Dylan and not Dylan but Garrett and. And Pat have been working with him. When I can't this guy's story people are going to be moved by. It's going to be very. It's. Imagine if I filmed it every week with Arthur as opposed to just showed it all at one time. That he doesn't disguise. No. This DDPY was never about losing weight. This guy has no weight to lose. This is about physically being able to walk again. And he's six four, two forty. This was a three letter kid who played three sports. Lettered in three of them. Basketball, football and I think it was track or baseball. One of the two. But great athlete. And then went into the military and just beat up his body so bad. And then coming out of it bad, you know, he just had a.

[Steve Austin]

Well, tell me about how you guys got connected. Did you seek him out or did he seek you? How did you guys come together?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Because of the DDPY rebuild program. We started reaching out and saying we're gonna, you know, interview people. We're gonna pick 12 of them who really want to put the work in. Because, dude, I'll help anybody. You know this. And some of. I just did it. My motivational Monday that somebody up right now is so powerful. And it's a woman's letter she had sent to me about how it's changed her life. And I pick up a phone and call her, you know, I mean, I care about these people. And they got to put the work in, though. They don't put the work in. I don't have the time. So we found 12 people who really want to put the work in. And Jerry becomes the first one I'm going to work with because he's the most broken. And I got a special spot in my heart for like, you do too, for the military, you know. And these guys are who break up their body for, you know, I want to try and help them. He wants it really bad. So that's something that's going to be in a week to week thing. But another thing I was grateful to you for actually taking the time for. We interviewed for you for Relentless. Have I sent to you Relentless yet? No, I'm going to send it to you today. It's locked. It's, you know, it's completely locked except for sound and in color. And we're putting it out right now. That's one of the things we want to package it with, resurrection. That's why we really wanted it back from Netflix. So we might be able to take it to Amazon prime or, you know, wherever we take it. But both of them are really powerful and Relentless is really the story for when Kevin Nash powerbombed me. And it wasn't Kevin Nash's powerbomb that blew my back out. It was all the bumps waited on the way to that bump that blew my back out. So, you know, we could, we show, we showed that like right in the beginning that and then boom, boom, we're into the story. And you know, I've been filming and doing stuff for over 16 years. Like people go, oh my God, you built an empire now. I'm like, yeah, we were an eight year overnight success, you know, and you know, we have so much footage. And Nathan Mowry, of course Steve, you, you know, oversaw everything that Nathan was doing, and I, and I put my little two cents in as well. But Nathan is the one who pulled this all together. And this is going to be his first direction of a documentary. He's doing another one for Chris Jericho. And I brought that up before about Jericho and Judas, Nathan doing that. We do so many different things, you know, but our focus is in helping people. So our biggest things we're looking at is our webisodes we're going to do with Jerry are finally marketing our DDPY rebuild program and relentless. And I think that, that we get it with a company who's going to help us get that word out. Because again, we really only do podcasts. We, you know, where we tell people what we do. Social media, Twitter and Facebook. That's it. So if you don't catch us there, you don't even know we exist. So as the word grows, I know it's going to grow. And I've already seen it, like I set a goal last year that before I'm 65, that we're $100 million company now. Is it the money that's driving me? No. And you know that it's the household name that makes people aware, so it can help. And that I've figured out how to make a living and have the most satisfying thing ever helping other people. People. It's like the Quan, you know, I mean, it's just being able to work with you today, bro. And you've after 16 years finally doing it and getting it, like, that's so huge to me. I mean, it's huge.

[Steve Austin]

You know, the thing about it was I didn't know what to expect, you know, during it, and it lasted longer than I thought because otherwise gonna go like 20 or 30.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

That's what I wanted you to believe.

[Steve Austin]

But there was a lot of, well, there was a lot of adjustments and, and, you know, put me and put me in the right position, but I felt like I had a damn good workout. But just the middle part of it was what surprised me and just being engaged. But let's jump off of yoga for a little bit or let's jump off DDPY yoga for a little bit. I want to talk about your latest greatest. Talking about you being in front of the curve or as far as everybody else is concerned, taking care of your body. Back in the day when me and Mick were ribbing you in those hotel rooms and you had all the ice packs on, now you got your latest greatest thing, and it's a hyperbaric Chamber. And you said, because you have a complete unit at your house, your crib there in Atlanta, it's been a game changer for you. Has it really made that much difference? Because I know a lot of the NFL wide receivers, a lot of NBA players, a lot of professional athletes have their own hyperbaric chambers.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Yes.

[Steve Austin]

Is it really a game changer?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Well. Well, I have to tell you this story to lead into it. I see this guy at the airport. Yeah, you see people. Because we travel so much, you might see someone a couple of times. And we even said something at the counter to each other. And then my wife and I, we always pretty much fly, unless we're doing pop Comic Cons and we fly first class, but this is one where we had to get economy comfort. So we're both back there, and I get bumped up. She's good. Just go up there. You take it. Your body. You go up there. So I sit down. This guy sits down next to me. I look at him and we've seen each other, like a bunch of. We've talked to each other. I said, obviously, we're supposed to meet, and you start laughing. We sat down. Because I don't talk to anybody on planes anymore. I sit next to my wife. I do my work. I don't talk to anybody. But this guy. We talked at some point. I said, so how old are you? And he looks like he's about 40, right? He goes, 57. I go, you're 57? I go, dude, I look amazing for 61, but you look unbelievable. I go, how do you. I can tell. And I said this to him. I can tell you you haven't been pulled, meeting face, job stuff, right? I go. I go, how do you look like that? And he said, well, I've been living in a hyperbaric chamber for the last 15 years. I go, man, I cannot believe. This is like nine months ago, ten months ago. He says this to me. I said, I can't believe you said that. I said, I just bought a piece of land. I'm going to build my new house in one of my areas. Because in my mind, in three next three years, I'm going to work with major athletes, NFL, mlb, NBA. I'm going to show these guys how they can really get another year, two, three years in their profession. I'm going to show them how they can avoid injury, which ends their career. So that's my goal. But the biggest thing is, I read about LeBron and all these different guys, Colby and stuff. They got hyper chambers. I Said, how did you even know about it? I said, I just heard about this in the last six, seven years. And he said, well, I was diagnosed with Ms. 22 years ago. I go, you have MS? And he goes, well, I don't have really into, you know, deal because I'm in Hyberg chamber. And I go, how does that work? And he tells me the story about how Scotland and Ireland have the most Ms. Patients on the planet. Long story short, there's a guy who figured out because of World War II. And I know I just segued World War II. Well, I'm talking about the guys who did the Underwater demolition under 20, 30ft underwater, setting these bombs and stuff. These guys healed faster. These guys didn't have anywhere near as many problems as anybody. So this guy started to study that. And he figured out when you are at £12, it's called 12 psi. To understand what psi means, pounds per square inch pressure. When you're at 4 pounds per square inch, that's about 10ft underwater. Now go down another 10ft, you go up to around 8 psi. Go to 30ft. Now you're at 12 psi. Now, any hyperbaric chamber that's under 11, it's amazing for oxidizing the blood and healing, it heals at a cellular level. It's just. Just heals faster when it gets to 12. I don't know what it's called. Let's call them capillaries, for lack of a better word, to the brain. Nothing gets to the brain. The brain's encapsulated. You can't get there. But there are these little tiny little veins or capillaries or whatever they're called. And when you get to 12 psi, that oxygen that's going through your body, through your entire, you know, your entire self, well, now we'll push up into your brain. Daniel Bryan has been in a hyperbaric chamber and has talked about that. It's one of the things helped him with his concussions. So that's just something I heard the other day. I haven't talked to him about that, but I know it because that's what it's all about. So when I'm thinking about, okay, so now he says to me, when you have ms, this is layman's terms. This is in doctors. When you get ms, they start to form crystals on your brain. When it fills your brain up, it starts going down your neck. And that's how people end up with, whether it's crutches or canes or wheelchair. He said, that's really hard to reverse. He goes, but it can. It can help. He said, but when you go into a hyper chain for 20 days, for over an hour, I think it's an hour and a half, because bringing you down and bringing you up. So say you're in for an hour, hour. That's what they call the dive. And then you take on five days and then go in for 20 out five. You do four sets of that at 20 and five. He said, when I had my brain scanned, when I came back out of that, virtually the crystals were gone. And he said, so I've just kept it up ever since then. And the only sign I have, he said, he's in his right. I think it was his right pinky that goes numb once in a while. He said, but I live in my chamber. So I'm like, all right, I've been hitting the head. You've been hitting the head numerous times. Everybody talks about concussions. Well, I don't. You know, I'm 62 now. I'm not just thinking about the concussion. I'm also thinking about. I got friends, fathers who have dementia and don't even know who the hell they are. Well, what if I do the preventative maintenance of the hyperbaric chamber for my brain, but I don't have any problems yet. But, you know, that's how I always have done shit, ice my body, even when my back didn't hurt, because I know if I don't ice it when I wake up, it's gonna hurt. So beating up my body, I was always trying to be ahead of the curve. So what I've really learned, I just want to get all my blood work, which looks amazing. This Dr. Fisher, and she's 70. And. And I told her I was doing. And she said, dallas, she goes, all I can tell you, it's never going to do you any harm. I don't know enough about it, because I will tell you, I have one of my patients who had breast cancer. And with all the radiation, she had a wound, an open wound that would not heal. She said, after two years, I sent her down to Emory where they have the hyperbaric, like, looks like a science fiction thing. And it's like, yeah, that's tube, you know, and that one goes to 15 psi. She put her in that for two months, all healed. They do it for people with diabetes where they're about to lose their toes. They put them in. They also had them change what they were eating. People with diabetes, and then they he. If they go in, it and they put the work in, they, they heal. But most, I've never heard anybody not heal. So I just know what I know. The people who have healed, healed. Now if you go back to eating the same old, you're going to go right back. But if you do change your lifestyle, well, then you can start to heal. So for me, that's one of the things I got. I don't even know if I told you this, but I also have a cryo machine now too. The thing that freezes you down. Like when you go like 200 below zero and it just freezes your body down for three minutes. Again, this is something I'm showing for athletes because here's what this costs, here's what that costs. And the last thing I'm getting, I haven't gotten yet. It's a infrared sauna. And that's about, it's about helping heal your body as well. My wife had breast cancer, so I don't want that shit coming back. So I'm getting it for my family and myself, but also to show guys along with my program how you can help heal your body to a preventative maintenance degree. Drew McIntyre, have you seen any of his work lately?

[Steve Austin]

I've been hearing good things about it though.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Kid could go on at some point to be the man. I mean, he's really got it, that's what I've heard. But the work ethic, Steve, he drove seven and a half hours from Tampa to come work with me. We worked out privately, just like me and you did. Then he came in a class, did another hour work out there, stayed because I was showing relentless because I had a lot of the people come for the summit. All these amazing transformations of people. That weekend, again, he stayed for relentless, left at 11 o' clock and drove seven and a half hours home. Like you got that work ethic, you got my attention and you know, he's doing it for preventative maintenance. So many other guys, Adam Cole, another kid who's got tons of talent doing it for, you know, for preventive maintenance. I want to segue this right here because I got to put this over, you know what's happened with the, the big thing coming in Chicago, the, the all in that Cody and the young bucks have put together.

[Steve Austin]

No, I deserted like a 10,000 seat arena and sold out in like 10,

[Diamond Dallas Page]

15 minutes, 29 minutes, 30, 36 seconds. Cody, I, I know I've known him since he was 7, you know, and you know who his old man was to me? You know, he was without Dusty Rose There is no diamond ever. Pack page. Cody left the WWE two years ago. Ballsy move as you know because big money he was walking away from. Even though he wasn't top of the card, he'd been there long enough, he was making really good money, guaranteed. Yeah. So to walk away from that because you believe you're bigger than like this is not where I am supposed to be. I'm supposed to be a main event guy and I'm just never going to hit it here. And that's, that's what Drew McIntyre did when he left, you know, four years ago and he, he went out, I know that KO Kevin Owens, who I love, he called up the Young Bucks. He was friends with him from the independent scene and said hey listen, Cody Rhodes is, he's heading out in the independent scene and look out for him, he's a good man. And those boys took him in and they became like literally brothers and they got with this whole elite group they have with the Bullet Club which, which Kenny Omega Man, I just guess what crazy unbelievable worker that cat is. But all these guys, the Young Bucks, I mean they really are the elite. They perform at that level that you go out to, to try to just blow the crowd's mind every night. No matter who's there or when and where it's happening doesn't have to be a pay per view. They are killing it. So Cody is talking and one night he catches a little bit of swag and on an interview says that he thinks him and the Young Bucks, you know, and if groupie could put together, could sell out a 10,000 seat arena. Dave Meltzer. So I guess he chimed in and said I don't think so. So Cody, I think he said maybe they could do 4,000. So Cody fired back on him on in on Twitter or something and, and said I'm calling you out. He goes we're gonna do it. So now I'm talking to him, this is before they've actually booked it and when I hear about this and he said yeah. He goes, now I ran my mouth, I gotta, I gotta step it up and gotta make it happen. It was kind of scary. I go hey bro, I got seen you do stuff like this before when you call it when he was a sophomore and I was working out with Dusty, getting ready to go to WWE and he had turnbuckle at the time and he was, he was a sophomore that summer and I said so when you starting football? Because I'm not playing football this year. I go you're not playing football I go, you love football? He goes, yeah, but I love wrestling more. He said, I'm, I'm, I'm going to focus it on wrestling. How he's a sophomore. He said, my junior year, he goes, I'm going to win state championships. I went, wow, that's a bold statement. He said, I'm going to do it. He goes, I'm going to work my ass off. Kid went 48. 0. I was there when he won that state championship. So, yeah, I've seen him put some stuff out there before and then back it up. So super proud of him, man. So they find the spot. Chicago, they're doing a press conference. And I talked to him afterwards. He was like, I've learned exactly what not to do at a press conference, which is, as you know, is how you learn. But he said, you know, I tell you, dude, it's like we put it out there, we've got it. You know, we got a marketing company that's helping us and they're figuring, you know, we could sell 4,000 tickets the first week if we're really, if we really push it. He goes, and we got in the, you know, after the press conference, we got in the car and we drove to the building because we wanted to see what we just bought because those boys put all their money in. There's no promoter there. It's all them young bucks and Code Cody. We got there and found out it was already sold out.

[Steve Austin]

Dude, that's unbelievable.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

You got to get him on the show. You gotta get him talking. I mean, he's super humble, which I love. When he was, when he was 220 that year and I said to him, I said, listen, and it's funny because I always used to call him Young Buck, which is kind of crazy to me. I always used to call him that. I said, listen, Young Buck, I said, you got bullseye on you right now. I said, keep reaching for the stars, but keep your feet on the ground. Just keep your feet on the ground. And I've watched him over this, you know, transition of leaving WWE and what he's doing and really got his really level headed. It'll never get to his head like I'm Cody Rhode. Well, he just won't, you know, and because he's, he's, he comes from, you know, Dusty and all that. And he had too many of the boys around him and just gets it. So I couldn't be any happy for him. And independent wrestling right now is amazing. You see what Booker T's doing with the Row no, what. You know, man, he's got. Booker T is killing it down there in Texas. You know, he's. He's got. He's got his own building and he runs. He's got some really top talent there. I just sent him one of my boys, Devin. Devine down there, who I got. I got a lot of faith in this kid. I think he's got. He's got. He's got a pretty good future on him. And I called Books up about him and he said, hey, I got a. He's on tv. Book's got his own tv, got his own program. He's also on Fight tv. And he doesn't call it, you know, like ROH or wwe. He made sure Booker sets himself apart. You know how hard he works. And, you know, he's. He's a vision guy too. And he puts it in universe and reality wrestling, or it's the row. It's kind of like DDPY or ddp. Yoga. Don't call it it. Yoga, you know. And for Book, I just happened to watch his TV because Devin had sent me something that he was on. And I got 10 minutes sitting, not even up to Devin's match. I'm like, I want to call Book right now, tell him how good this looks. And I watched the whole program and then. And then I called him up and I was so proud of Booker because his story is as good as it gets, you know, and if you ain't never read Booker T's book, you. You need to get it and read it because you want to talk about overcoming adversity and being a man, you know, and set leading by example. And he's doing that, you know, he's going to. He's going to go for the mayor of Houston this year. Not this year, year after next. But he is. He told me year and a half ago, and I said, dude, I will help you all I can, because he will. He'll make a difference. He is. He's a difference maker. And that's his goal, to build his wrestling company and be the mayor of Houston, Texas.

[Steve Austin]

When and where did you meet Booker?

[Diamond Dallas Page]

I met Booker when he came in. He was at the power plant. And I met him and Stevie Ray, another Aces top shelf cat. And I'll tell you where I really got tight with Book was when he was doing GI Bro. And I walked in the bathroom and, you know, Book had already been Harlem, he'd been this, he been that. Now he's doing a singles thing and they don't know what to do. With him at the Point. I mean, he's a thoroughbred athlete who can talk and got tons of Christmas, so whatever. I figure he'll find his own way. But I walked in there and his super T is. And he's putting on the, you know, the face paint makeup for. For GI Bro. And I just looked at him and I went, book. I said, how you doing? He goes, I'm good deed. He goes, I'm real good. I said, dude, you have. Have the best attitude I've ever met in this business. He goes, d, you know what I was doing before I was here? I was mopping floors, I was digging ditches. He goes, I'm just happy to be here. He said, I'm just going to keep working till I get over. So now he gets over. Not GI Bro, but Booker T. Starts getting over, and me and Book end up up. Joe Clark is the guy who lean on me. He's the guy from the high school principal in the hood who locked the doors, who walked around with a baseball bat like they did a whole movie on him. Watch you get a chance. Lean on me. So he's not in high school at this point, teaching high school or principal high school. He runs this prison camp for kids who are in the holding cell on their way to prison. Not. You screw up one more time, you're going to prison. They're going to prison. So I get there, it's me and Buck, and I speak first, and I think I'm a pretty damn good speaker. And I got the guys, I think I got them pretty good. And then Booker T. Got up there, and, man, he knocked me on my ass because I had no idea that Booker had been arrested and been in the joint for two years. I had no idea that he got. When he came out of prison, he got his son who was in foster care from his mama, who, whatever, lost him that app for whatever reason, I can't remember exact reason, but he went and got that kid. Kid who was his boy and as a single dad, raised him. And I'm listening, and he says something, and I quote him on it because the first person I heard say it to these prisoners and because he talked some in the beginning and had him laughing, and then he got dead, stone cold, you know, straight in their face. And like, this is what you can expect. This is what you can do when you get out of here. Because I did it, you know? And he said, please and thank you cost nothing. Those two words, he goes, are priceless. He goes, you get out of this deal, you get out of this joint, you go to the next one you get out of. Get back in the real world. Do the right thing. He said. When I came out and I started, he goes, and this guy, I can't remember what his name was, but was very influential on Booker's life. He said, I've cleaned those floors better than anybody. I wash those toilets better than anybody. He goes, and that's how I decided I was going to live my life moving forward. And that's why Booker T's as successful as he is, because he don't play around. He's the real deal. He's a straight shit, and he's a man's man.

[Steve Austin]

I never knew that.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

I was floored. We left, we got in the car. I got chills right now. We got in the car and I was like, buck, thank you so much for sharing that with me, man. You know, because no one knew, I said, you got to get this word out there, bro. This will freaking take you to the upper stratosphere of what you've overcome. He said, I know, D. I know. He goes, but it's not now. And I never told anybody. I figured that's his story. When he's ready to tell it, then he told it in his book. And, you know, people know. That's why I can talk about it, because he already put it out there. And like, he's a stud, man. We talk. I talked to the other day. We talk all the time. Like I said, I love what he's doing with his. With his life and Charmel and his two new babies. And, you know, he. He's pretty cool.

[Steve Austin]

Me and Boog got. We got along as soon as we met over in wcw and Book was doing it. Him and Stevie were tag team at the time.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

And we was always joking around and,

[Steve Austin]

you know, bullshitting like we do to pass the time and everything like that. And you know, Booker, he's a real confident guy.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

He's a hell of a worker. A hell of a worker. And great promo.

[Steve Austin]

And he started this rumor that some of the magazines. I forget how exactly he did it, but he goes. He goes, yeah, so and so said, you know, I'm one of the top five workers in the world. Not just in the United States, in the world. And like, dude, you know, like when you're in the business, like when God throws out a statement like that, you think, hold it.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Where did that shit come from?

[Steve Austin]

How's Booker T. The number five worker in the world are in a top five workers in the world.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

And it was a rib. And everybody.

[Steve Austin]

Everybody was like, didn't know where Shitter was. And I said, look at Book. I said, God damn, Book. I said, where you come up with Hatchet? You know, he has that laugh. He goes to you. He goes, I got him. I got them. So me and Book used to love to work together. I just told a story the other day on a podcast one time.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

We was in the ring, and God damn, he.

[Steve Austin]

He lit me up with the stiffest damn right jab.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

I'd been there. There, dude. I mean, he hit me.

[Steve Austin]

He hit me so damn hard. It was like instantly. It's like, dude, I'm real patient with the receipt. But. But on that one, I said, hey,

[Diamond Dallas Page]

you got that Receipt's coming back now.

[Steve Austin]

Right now, boy. I threw a right hand and I caught him. And we finished the match.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

There was no heat, but there was an instant receipt.

[Steve Austin]

And I was laughing in the back, and he was laughing as well. I said, God dang, Buck. I said, if you and me ever get in a fight, I know I can kick your ass, because I took your best shot. And the only reason I didn't knock you out is because my right arm doesn't straighten out. He started laughing.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Good, dude. No, I'm gonna read the book.

[Steve Austin]

And Book, Book and I have been talking every time I see each other at a WWE event. We've been talking about doing a podcast. So, Book, we got to do the podcast.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Absolutely.

[Steve Austin]

We got to do it in person. And that's what I told him, because I don't want to talk to him on the phone.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Right.

[Steve Austin]

I hate to talk to anybody on the phone or Skype or whatever. Sometimes it's just a tool of necessity.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Right? Right.

[Steve Austin]

But if I talk to Book, I want to talk to him in person. But anyway, before you ride off into the sunset and go watch John Morrison get married with his lovely fiance, tell people where they can find you on social media. And again, I'm committed to the DDPY program. I've got the app. I'm taking my before pictures or start now pictures, and we'll watch and see how this thing progresses. I appreciate you coming over here and showing me a workout. I enjoyed the workout. I felt like I'd been through a workout. I haven't done weights yet. I am going to continue my weight training. But, dude, like I told you, just trying to tie my shoes. I can just feel myself binding up and getting tighter and tighter. And, dude, you know, as. You know, as the years go by, you know, you and me are dinosaurs. I'm like a T. Rex. Everything gets tighter. So I appreciate you turning me on to the program. I've been doing a reach forever. I've known you forever. You're my best friends. Watched you work on this thing from the ground floor up. So we'll stay tuned and I'll keep you posted as to how I progress. And you're coming back next week. Kristen came over. I had to shut down the podcast a while ago and hit the pause button, but she's going to do a workout with us because she was very curious because she has a really bad lower back and her neck ain't so great and she walked. She goes, well, how was it? Because I got my athletic shorts on. She goes, you always wear this. Dude, you know me, all I wear is camouflage shorts, right? And she goes, well, how was it? I said, phenomenal. I said, you got to try it. And her eyes lit up. So she's going to do it with us next week.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

That's awesome.

[Steve Austin]

Tell people where they can find you and what you're doing and if you've got some Comic Con or whatever appearances coming up.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

Well, you know, bottom line is I always say this. Don't listen to a word I have have to say. Don't listen to anything I say about my program. Go to Twitter, ealDP, DP Yoga. Go on. You know my DDP Yoga. Facebook or. No, Instagram doesn't really. There's mainly pictures, but Instagram, you can catch me at Diamond Doll's page or DDP Yoga. The main thing that I try to get people to understand is listen to what other people say. On Facebook. There's another one.

[Steve Austin]

One.

[Diamond Dallas Page]

It's a private. Not private. It's a group of people who do the program. There's like 20 some thousand people there. It's just DDP yoga. Look it up and say, members only. Just like the page. Read what people write. You can't get people to chant Stone Cold Hogan, Rocky, ddp, Goldberg. You can't get them to do that. They got to be moved, moved to action to do that. Well, that's what it's like on the Internet. You can't make people write stuff. You get a couple people to write, but you can't make hundreds, hundreds of people, thousands of people write about what you're doing unless it really works. My biggest thing, I want to end with this. If you. The Top Tens list, Are you familiar with it? About three, two years ago. That's called the top tens. There's 100,000 of them from Best Wrestling move to high. Hottest chick in America to, you know, whatever. There's hundreds of them and one is best home workout. And about a year and a half ago we got on that list and when it all, when it was all said and done, P90X is number three. And if it was three, four years ago, they'd have been number one. But it wasn't. It was, you know, a year and a half ago. They were number three. They had about 45 comments and they were, well, lengthy comments. Insanity was number two. And if it was probably a couple of years, you know, later, they would have been number one. But they weren't. They were number two. They had about 90 comments. DDP yoga was number one, 900 last time I looked. 940 comments. And I don't mean like great workout, I mean paragraphs like, you can't make people do that, you know. So that's why I tell people, go there and check it out. And if you're right now our app as you know, 20% off right now on the year membership and it's seven days free, so you don't have to get it. You can go for a month, three months, whatever. It's seven days for you to try it. So you can try exactly what Stone Cold is doing and cost you nothing. Because if it don't work, cancel it. I don't care. Because I really don't want you to do it unless you're gonna really do it. And DVDs, if you're like old school, you want DVDs. We've got our regular DVDs, and we also got that DDPY rebuild and you can catch that there. And if you get the DVDs, I'm still gonna give you three months of the episode app to try it because you might get pulled over into that. Because when you got all the workouts, all the food, all the inspiration, every Monday, motivational Mondays, you know, it's all there. And I want everyone to be successful and I want people to own it. And I'll really explain that when Positively Unstoppable, the art of owning it goes out where they were going to do a I'm going to actually send you a book because they're sending me some of the pre orders. So I want you to read it first. I know to you want will and that'll be positively unstoppable. That's going to be coming soon. You'll hear it right here on the Stone Cold Steve Austin podcast.

[Steve Austin]
