You've been the formalities. You guys have time. Yes, got time. It's a reunion between us. How you doing, man? John, how are you?

I'm great. You doing all right? I'm doing excellent. Thank you. Awesome. Awesome.

Congratulations on all the success, man. Oh, thank you. And thank you guys for the time today. Appreciate it

Absolutely. They originally gave me the day us or the schedule and said, do you want to do something that relates to wrestling?

I said, I would love to do it for the whole day.

So not only did I put them in their place for trying to push me out of where I belong, I made sure that we got this in.

So honestly, thanks for the time. I appreciate it. Well, I want to thank you because you know, busted open's been on a year now for 14 years.

And I would say the majority of that time has been talking about you. Yeah, I can only imagine what's been said.

But I like that. All good, all good things. That is bull shit. Well, you know what? They appreciate you now. That's what we've been saying. That's great. That's great. Honestly, it's great.

And described in the WWE speak as polarizing, I would have it no other way. And I think that was great about wrestling.

You can feel however you want and you're encouraged to be vocal and you're encouraged to be a player in the in the stage.

You don't have to like everything that's doing. You can be vocal with your opinion in the arena in a podcast through any medium you want.

And I love that our art form embraces that. Well, I want to ask you about what you're a part of right now before we get back into the wrestling.

And that is, you know, FastX opens up nationwide on Friday. It's going to be tough to stay with the movie talk, but we're going to do it.

Yeah, we're definitely because we got to promote that. We have a job to do. And now you are a part of one of the biggest, you know, franchises and movie history.

So what is that like for you?

It's essentially getting the chance to to be a part of WWE. Think of it like that. You're a performer and you try to hone your craft and you go elsewhere.

And then your goal is to get an invite to be on the winning team to be on something with global reach that has reached the world over for over 22 years now with the fast mythology.

And they asked me in on the ninth installment. So like they did all the undertakers, the Hogan's, the Sam Martinez had already been there.

And it's like, hey, kid, you want to play for the winning team. And of course, it's a yes. And then you just get a, you get a chance to try to prove yourself.
