0:00.0 | Hey, my mom's basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple podcasts, Spotify or YouTube and |
0:05.5 | Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon music. It really happened. Jared Kravis and I got to sit down with the |
0:11.5 | undertaker. We'll not sit down with them, you know, over Zoom because it's COVID era and all that. And talk to them for over 30 minutes. |
0:18.4 | It was pretty surreal, pretty awesome. I'm not gonna waste any time. I'm gonna do this ad and we'll get right into this podcast. So |
0:25.9 | 3G as they tell you every single week, each and every week here on my mom's basement is our presenting sponsor. Now their amazing |
0:34.4 | product that I am a huge fan of is the Delta 8 THC. This is federally legal THC sold in the USA, grown in the USA, all formulated by a biochemist. And it's the perfect hybrid of CBD and Delta 9. |
0:49.9 | It gives you a similar buzz to all the medicinal effects of Delta 9, which is the THC found in weed, but it takes away the laziness, the anxiety, the paranoia, the mental fogginess, at least for me, it does. And you just feel far more active and outgoing than you would with the Delta 9 THC. So this is good stuff. I swear by it. I legitimately use it every day in my life. Well, maybe I shouldn't say every day. That makes me sound like some kind of, I don't know. You can use it every day. Trust me. |
1:17.9 | If you go to 3G.com right now, that is 3, the number 3, and then CHI.com, you can shop for Delta 8 vapes, gummies, tinctures, and more. They got oils that you could use to make homemade edibles and all that. If you do make some of those, I mean send me pictures. I would love to see what you made what they look like. You use the promo code basement and you will get 5% off your entire order. You must be 21 or older to purchase. You know, you will fail a drug test with this stuff. You will get high with this stuff. It is THC. It's the real deal stuff. It's great. |
1:47.8 | It's great stuff. And without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, the Undertaker. This is an interview that myself and Jared Krabba thought we would never get. We thought this would never happen. But it's happening. The phenol, the dead man, the undertaker is joining us right now. How are you doing, man? |
2:03.8 | I'm good. Man. How you guys doing? We're doing fantastic. What should we call you? Is it undertaker? Is that is that fine by you? |
2:11.8 | No, man. We're friends now. You call me taker. Yeah. Yeah. That's amazing. All right, taker. |
2:19.8 | Taker, dead man, it just depends. Most people prefer taker. I like taker. I like taker. If we're on that friendship level, now I'm taking it. |
2:27.8 | Talking about the video game that's out now. Has it been crazier seeing yourself evolve as a video game character from like an 8-bit character to now a photo realistic version of the undertaker or as an action figure? |
2:40.8 | You know what? Yeah, the action figures were cool, but to realize where we started in the video game process was notes that used to take a two or three day. |
2:55.8 | In a studio, green screens, getting hooked up to cables and going through all of our moveset to basically nowadays, you know, they put you in a wall of cameras and they get every possible angle of you. |
3:12.8 | And it's amazing how far the process has come through the year, through my 30 years, you know, it's been really, it's a lot, it's a lot better product and it's a lot less time consuming on my end. |
3:28.8 | And then they always obviously make you look a little better at what you do. That's a bonus. They don't show quite as many miles. That's the real thing does. |
3:38.8 | Absolutely. So this is an honor for the both of us. Like I said, we never thought this would happen mostly because for a long time, you were the guy that would never do the interviews. |
3:48.8 | You were the wrestler that would, you know, keep KFA as they say and you were the dead man for everybody. Did you have set in your mind though through the last few years of your life, which we saw through the last ride that you kind of knew retirement was looming. Did you know that once you were retired, you were going to break KFA and you were going to be the one to tell the story of your career by yourself now? |
4:07.8 | You know, I really didn't, I didn't really envision it or I didn't have that as a goal. But through the process of making the, you know, the docu series, obviously, you do, you just, just with my, you know, the narration and everything, you get a lot of that. |
4:23.8 | And as we went through the process, it became easier because I was really reluctant at first, even though it was my idea to have the cameras following me and all that, you know, there were times where I started chewing guys out like, why are you following me with this damn camera? |
4:39.8 | You ask us to. Yeah, okay. All right. Yeah, I did ask you to do. I'll get my bad. So it wasn't process for me to get used to doing that. And then now it's just kind of kind of rolled into, you know, people are enthralled by, you know, now that I've lifted the, you know, I've lifted the curtain and started letting people in. |
