So Mark Twain said that the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated and I'm here with

the gambler Jeff Gann who I posted a very moving tribute to you because I heard that you

had passed away but this is not true because obviously you're here talking to us right now.

Correct. So was there a miscommunication or a misidentification? What happened?

Misidentification. Okay. So is there another gambler or is that what's going on?

To my knowledge there was a gentleman by the name of Russell Stowings that was

used in the name gambler. He's the one that passed away you know from the one sister his family.

You know it's just a sad thing but I'm glad it wasn't me. Are you getting report?

Were you getting reports of people like asking your family if you were still alive and that sort

of thing? Well my son Jeff he had tried to call me early that morning because he woke up with

so many tweets about my passing. Right. He called me. I wasn't work at my phone

letting me talk with my toolbox. So then he called me like six times no answer so he's pretty upset.

So I called him back and I said oh shit something's wrong you know so when he hears my bullets he

just breaks down and starts crying on my son in a whole struggle you know and he was like

Dad do you not know it's all over the internet that you got at? No I didn't know.

I said hey listen listen I don't know it. Well yeah because I heard it too and I wrote a nice tweet

about how you had kind of helped me out a very integral part of my career and then heard a

couple days later or a couple hours later that it was all it was all a rumor and all a sham.

So then a good friend of mine suggested well why don't you try and get them on talk as Jericho so

you can tell him face to face and actually have a conversation with him and I thought what a great

idea. So you're misreported death led to this. And it's great. Gracie and you man it's been a

long time and I appreciate all the kind words you said about me but man you did that on your own.
