0:00.0	Chris Van Bleas!
0:05.0	Yeah.
0:06.0	It is great to see you as always. I love this. This is awesome. You have aged exceptionally well. It's a little bit gray. Maybe a little. Like the last interview that I did with you and Thrasher, I titled it, The Headbangers Have Not Aged. And it's true, like, when you looked at you guys, especially in that interview, it was like just a snapshot right out of the attitude era. Right. It's crazy. That was funny. It was with all the ducks bothering us behind the scenes. That was so weird. We were doing this interview outside of an indie show and there were ducks walking and quacking behind us. Yeah, they were annoying. They were bothering us. They were. They were trying to steal the spotlight.
0:55.0	They were.
0:55.5	Damn ducks. I'm glad we're doing it here. Yes. I've closed the door. I don't think any ducks will be coming in here. Okay, good. But congratulations on the new book. Thank you. Thank you. I'm very happy with it. I'm very proud of it. There was a lot of work that went into it.
1:12.0	I'm very happy with it.
1:13.3	What went into it.
1:12.0	I'm very happy with it, yeah.
1:13.6	What went into telling your story now?
1:17.6	It actually started probably seven or eight years ago.
1:21.2	And it all started with me just wanting to jot things down for my son.
1:25.9	My son never saw me wrestle at the point that we wrestle
1:30.1	at with WW. How old your son? He's 21 now. Right. So he wasn't even born. He was born in 04. Like,
1:36.4	I left WWE in 2002. So he didn't know anything about anything. So I just wanted to just jot things
1:42.3	down for him, just to give him a perspective of what I
1:45.3	went through. If anyone, you know, if you hears about like stuff I did or something, kind of like,
1:50.3	I don't know, like a journal or memoir for him. And the more I started writing, like the more just
1:54.7	things started coming back. But it was a lot of off and on. It was more off than on because you get
1:59.5	sidetracked, life gets in a way.
2:17.8	And then I went back to a high school reunion in October of 24. And someone there, she, her name's Tori, she's the writing coach. She's an editor slash ghostwriter. And she was like, oh, I'd love the working on that project. Like, can you send it over to me? Like, I'd like to read it and just see it.
2:18.5	I was like, yeah, sure.
