Summary

Bull's also talking about mean streaks & flipping the switch, cutting a good promo, his NXT try out, when he knew his days at WWE were numbered, body types in the squared circle, and some of his own heroes in the biz.

| 0:00.0 | From Hollywood, California, by way of the Broken Skull Ranch, this is the Steve Austin Show. |
| 0:05.6 | Give me a hell yeah. |
| 0:07.1 | Hell yeah! |
| 0:08.3 | Now, here's Steve Austin. |
| 0:10.3 | All right, everybody, welcome to Steve Austin show. |
| 0:12.2 | I'm coming to you to the Main Street to Los Angeles, California. |
| 0:15.6 | Sitting here at my desk at 316 Gimmock Street, watching his secondhand on this pearl, beer, and neon neon clock spin around like a rotissory chicken. Over to my right, Hershey's Warnad Dog is asleep. Over in the back room, Mula is over there waiting for someone to play with her. My wife is sitting right in front of me. She's over her paying bills. That's right. They send those gimmicks. They call bills in the mail to my place, too. |
| 0:39.2 | And if you don't pay them, they'll turn off your electricity, your water, and take your cars back. So she's paying all our bills. She's not going to join me on today's podcast.

| 1:31.7 | I really enjoyed talking to him, and I think he'd enjoy this conversation. |
| 1:34.8 | He's got some good dusty stories, and he's got some good stories of his own, along with |
