Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis
The Fastest 30 Minute Wrestling Show with WWE Hall of Famer TEDDY LONG and MAC DAVIS! It's FAST, It's FUN and it's FREE!
Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis
From Banana Pudding To Body Slams and Poops!
The show starts with sweet tooth confessions—OJ, cranberry, banana pudding—and veers straight into the kind of candor fans crave. That playful energy sets up a serious look at what made the Attitude Era special: pressure, pride, and a relentless drive to outwork the last match. We revisit Chyna’s 1999 Good Housekeeping win over Jeff Jarrett, unpack the money standoff behind the scenes, and talk about how veterans navigated live TV without losing sight of the crowd’s heartbeat.
From carnivals and sideshows to the modern product, we ask why the spectacle feels safer now. Is the industry too comfortable to compete? Teddy Long shares how old school pros treated the locker room as an incubator for resilience, why you never “sell” a rib, and how even disasters in the ring become teachable moments for great workers. The mailbag brings raw stories—JBL heat, travel survival, and name association with Funaki, Justin Credible, and Sandman—along with a listener’s tough review: her 11-year-old tuned out of a recent WWE show. That’s a challenge worth meeting.
We also tackle AI’s push into voiceover and whether synthetic reads can ever replace real emotion. Wrestling runs on timing, risk, and human presence; that’s hard to automate. Between laughs about fair rides gone wrong and gratitude for a growing community, the thread is clear: bring back urgency, trust performers with more voice, and polish the product without sanding off its edge.
If you’re here for backstage insight, Attitude Era context, and fan-first honesty, you’ll feel right at home. Subscribe to Road Trip After Hours on YouTube, hit the bell, and share this episode with a friend who misses that old school spark. Then tell us: what would bring the edge back?
Teddy, Teddy, Teddy, what you doing, my friend? You're sitting there getting yourself a little bit of a shake or a drink or something.
SPEAKER_01:No, this is orange juice, a little vitamin C.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, I love orange juice.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, God, do I love it, man? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I grew up on that. It's funny because in my house, when I grew up, uh, we had, you know, milk and and juice in the house all the time. I was not a milk drinker, but I would drink some juice. And to the point where it got so bad that I drank so much, my tongue would blister from the citrus because I drank so much of it. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I got an I got another one in there I drank too, and that's the pure cranberry.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, then the cranberry is good too. And that's something I didn't think I would enjoy, but I do. There's a lot of cranberry uh cross drinks too. They do like cranberry and strawberry and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_01:Cran apple, cran pineapple. I've seen all that. I just like the straight cranberry.
SPEAKER_00:Look here, let me ask you. You told me one time about um, trying to remember, was it Patty LaBelle's banana pudding or something you used to do?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, yeah. They sell it in Walmart. It's uh like I said, I I didn't know uh Denise at the time. I mean, I knew her, but I'm saying we weren't talking and stuff, you know what I mean? So I didn't had no idea about her. So let me straighten this out so I don't get in trouble. But Patty La Bell, uh, I started getting it at Walmart, and I'm telling you, man, it was unbelievable. Brother was that some good stuff. But then uh after with the when we got got with Denise, and she gave me that home cooking banana, she had pineapples in it and all, you know, stuff. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00:Oh man, oh man. Yeah, I I found this stuff at a grocery store and it came in this clear cup, kind of like a I don't know, like a coffee cup almost, a little bit higher rim. And it was it was homemade banana pudding mousse. Now, what it was something kind of a it was a a whipped kind of topping on top with a little bit of the I've seen that moose stuff you're talking about.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, golly.
SPEAKER_00:Wee, that's good, Teddy. Yeah, that's but it's pretty rich. Oh, yeah, it is, and it's bananas, and bananas will put weight on you in a heartbeat, too. Because it's something else I love. I love bananas, and and bananas uh as soon as I start eating them, I can't quit. And and then I get 10 pounds on me in no time. Yeah, let me ask you about something that's uh been happening in wrestling.
SPEAKER_01:And by the way, let's uh let's do this for you know, we let's uh welcome everybody and let's say hello to everybody, Mr. Rude. Oh no, that's what I was that's what I was saying. No, no, no, no. He opens up the show, ladies and gentlemen. He goes right into us talking about eating. You so you know he loves to eat. He doesn't introduce us, doesn't say one word, just dive right into eating.
SPEAKER_00:Well, if he'll set up long enough, I would tell you that you can join the conversation too by simply leaving us a comment in the comment section and we'll throw you up on the screen. Go ahead, Teddy.
SPEAKER_01:And the other thing I wanted to do too, I want to apologize to all of our listeners and fans. Uh uh last week. Uh, we weren't able to be live with them because you you were sick, you know, not doing very well. So uh I uh I got a lot of comments, you know. People talking about God, we miss you guys, and so uh we we miss you guys too. So we're glad to be back.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it last week was uh a strange week. In fact, I'm gonna tell you a little bit about that. I don't want to open that up uh before we get into the uh straight wrestling. Last week, the reason I was not here was I had to film uh for with the TV crew the day before we were supposed to go live. Now, they called me up and they said, Look, we got a carnival, a fair that's come to town. It's the fall fair and everybody's gonna be there. Can you go out there with the camera crew and make something, you know, make a show out of this, you know, 30-minute program? And I'm thinking, I yeah, I'll try, I'll see what I can do. You know, it's last minute, I got no time to prep. And then I find out just before I hang up the phone call with the TV station, they're saying, now just one hang up here. Your cameraman does not like, you know, fair rides, just so you know. So it's probably gonna be you. Now, Teddy, in wrestling, you don't tell people stuff like that because the second I know that you don't like to ride a ride, I figured out the angle of this entire 30-minute program, and it's gonna be getting you at the very end on one of the worst rides in the carnival, which is what I did. It was a blast. But karma came back to get me because after we got off that particular ride, my balance was so off that yeah, I could sit just kind of move slightly, and I felt like the entire room was moving. So that's the reason we weren't here last week because it was karma for me getting uh a camera guy uh on a ride he didn't want to ride, and I ended up with the long-term effects.
SPEAKER_01:So well, very good.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah, it's not fair. One more thing, too, about that. You know, we Teddy, of all things, we I interviewed people who did the games and things like that, you know, and you you know how those games work at the fair, they're always tilted in the they're all rigged.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, you're talking about. Yes, it's a worth, they're all rigged. Jeez, if people don't know that by now, but I think a lot of people do know, but they just still go and have fun. You know, it doesn't cost a whole lot of money to do some of that stuff. So, you know, especially with the kids, you don't you don't want to spoil them, but yeah, you know, all that stuff is a worth.
SPEAKER_00:Do you ever go to carnivals when you were young, Teddy? Did you ever go to a fair where they had sideshows?
SPEAKER_01:Uh I went to a few, not a whole lot. You know, when I was young, I was a thug. So I didn't, I you know, I I thought I was too much for that kind of stuff.
SPEAKER_00:I went to uh I actually worked at a fair for a couple of years. Every time it would come to town, I would just hook up with the uh the fair and I'd get a job, you know, picking up the rings on the ring toss or something like that, you know, and they'd pay you so much money per, you know, stack of rings you would get. Uh, but I back then they still had the sideshows, like the bearded lady and the two-headed, you know, uh monkeys or whatever they would have on on display. And the first one I ever saw in a sideshow, and you don't see these shows much anymore, uh, was a uh woman, beautiful woman in a bikini who turned into this ugly, scary gorilla in a cage that busts out of the cage and chases everybody out of the tent at the end of it. And I believed every bit of what I saw back then. I can see why maybe nowadays people are too smart and they know the what the sideshows actually are, but I miss those days. I do miss uh seeing some of that crazy stuff because it was always fun to me. You know, because I was not a big ride, I didn't like riding rides that much either.
SPEAKER_01:I just like getting the app. I kind of walked and uh looked at the scenery and stuff like that. You know, one or two things I think I might have got on one time, I'm not sure, but believe me, they were they were a ride that a two-year-old would get on and not have no problem.
SPEAKER_00:The last time I got on a carousel, this is no line. This should have been a sign for me not to do the ride at the fair. Uh, I got on a carousel with one of my grandbabies, and I thought, this is nothing. I'm just standing there holding them while they're riding the horse. I got off that thing, man. Oh man, uh yeah. They just the the older body and the younger body, two different things.
SPEAKER_01:Exactly.
SPEAKER_00:Plot twist Jones popping in. Uh also a pretty classy lady saying hello, and plot uh twist jones saying the same thing. Good to see you both in here.
SPEAKER_01:Hey, thank you, thank you guys, and we really missed talking to y'all last week.
SPEAKER_00:And Zach Minger, uh look, look here. National Boston Cream Pie Day, Mac and Teddy. Ooh, we Boston Cream. That's something I bet she can make too. I bet Denise can make a mean Boston cream. Uh listen.
SPEAKER_01:Or her daughter, one or the other. Listen, they they they they they they they good country people, brother, and they can cook, okay. I'm telling you now.
SPEAKER_00:That's what I can tell just by everything you tell me, because every time Teddy goes out of town, he'll come back and he'll tell me about some other item he got while he was at Denise's. You know, oh, there's the banana pudding, that's the red velvet cake. It's the it's the barbecue ribs. Uh what's the latest thing? Well, you last time you went, was it still the ribs?
SPEAKER_01:Uh no, this time I had steak that was falling off the. I mean, brother, I mean you know steak is always tough. Yeah, I'm telling you, brother, I had a piece, you didn't have to do nothing but just start chewing it. It was just it's it's unreal. I've never had a piece of that steak. It was they was tender as those ribs.
SPEAKER_00:Wow. Yeah, and by the way, Zach, you're talking about the National Boston Cream Pie Day month. I remember when I went to uh St. Louis with Teddy, he went to Krispy Kreme and ordered a dozen Boston Kreme donuts and ate every single one of those donuts uh in one sitting, wouldn't share with anybody. I don't know why he keep telling y'all that. I really don't know why. He does that, and I don't know why he does that.
SPEAKER_01:Because anybody, anybody that knows me, they know that I didn't eat no 12 donuts. And if I had eight 12 donuts, I would have been in the gym like maybe an hour right after that, running that stuff off. Okay.
SPEAKER_00:I called his room the next morning trying to get him to go up and go down to the gym. I couldn't get him to answer the phone because he was still sleeping off the Boston Cream Donut haze he had. Sure. Sure. Play twist Joan saying, sounds like brothers arguing. Yeah, exactly. This is why Teddy and I love getting together and doing the show because we talk shit like this all the time.
SPEAKER_01:Well, we was and and Mack and I was really thinking about just putting a camera in the car, you know, and just planting it and forget about it's there, you know, and just uh let you hear the real conversation.
SPEAKER_00:I I don't know. It's something I'd have to edit that a lot, I'm afraid, Teddy. So we talk about things we can't talk about. Okay, well let's see, uh pretty classy lady. Teddy, do you remember uh refereeing the good housekeeping match between China and Jeff Jarrett at No Mercy in 1999?
SPEAKER_01:Yes, I do. I exactly remember that. I think that's when uh they put they uh Jeff refused to put the title on or something, and then I think they worked something out in the back. I think it was some they had to pay him extra money or something for him to do that. So I will, yeah, I was a referee there. I remember that real.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I think he was on his way out of the company at that time, and that uh he wanted to make sure he got his money up front, so he asked for some money that more than he should have gotten, or something like that. And so begrudgingly gave it to him.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, well, he well, he held him up. You know, you got a live TV pay-per-view here going, you know what I mean? So, you know, you you you know, you gotta do something.
SPEAKER_00:Any surprises in that match with you with China and Jeff Jarrett? Let me ask you, what was the feeling backstage? Because at this point, you got to remember a woman beating a man in a wrestling ring was still that was pretty big for that to take place. So, what was the feeling backstage? Did anybody have issues with it?
SPEAKER_01:No, I don't think any of it. I mean, if you had issues with it, what are you gonna do about it? Oh, yeah, you know absolutely nothing. You know what I mean? So that's what I'm saying, though. You know, with Vince, it was you you understood working in in the wrestling business. Vince McMahon made it very clear that this is a business. This is not a game that we play, okay? This is a game in sense, you know, is what we do, but it's business. So already, you already know when you go out there whether you, you know, you're gonna win or lose. So it ain't about that. It's about, hey, let's go out here, man, and let's tear this ring down, let's tear the house down tonight. Let's give these people 200, more than 100. You know what I mean? That's the feeling that you should have every time you walk out of that curtain.
SPEAKER_00:And just to be clear, I don't think Jeff Jarrett had any issue putting China over. That that was not nothing to do with the money or anything else. That was a kind of a different situation that was taking place at the same time. I don't think putt putting China over was a problem at all. In fact, I thought he did a great job in the match.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. You know, I don't understand some of it today, you know, because back in the day, old school, you know, you knew what your job was. So, you know, and when you knew it, all you did is got together with your opponent and say, hey man, what are we gonna do tonight? Let's let's knock, let's, let's kill him out there tonight. You know, that's the attitude you you need to have. And that's what the attitude era was. That's why it was so good, because everybody worked together and everybody tried to outwork each other.
SPEAKER_00:Yes. Yeah, and see, that's what I do think is missing, Teddy. I think that in today's environment, that people are afraid to compete with the other people on the show. And back, like you say, in the attitude era, man, it was every man for himself, and they were allowed to put a lot of their own input into these storylines, and so they had everything to lose and everything to gain at the same time. And many of them gained during that time because of the fact they were able to do these things during the attitude era that they no longer do. I I don't understand why we don't still do some of the things that we used to do back then.
SPEAKER_01:Because I think we've we're we're we're we're we're I think we're spoiled now. You know what I mean? We're doing so good and making so much money to you know something that's stuff, you know. Now we maybe we don't even need that.
SPEAKER_00:Well, see, that to me is like buying a luxury car. If you go out and let's say you buy you a real Jaguar or something, I don't know what the nicest cars are anymore. But if let's just say a Jaguar, you go out and you buy yourself a Jaguar and it's got all the leather interior, wood grain panel, all the stuff, you know, the highest tech in the in the console. And then all of a sudden they decide, you know what? Our name's good enough. We're making enough money. Take out the leather seats and make them plastic. Uh yeah, that is the same thing that I see happening with wrestling. You're taking away some of those things that need to remain to give it that polish.
SPEAKER_01:But they look at it like, well, we already got them.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so we already got the money. So why waste? We can make more money by cutting corners now. You know, that that is the thing that just drives me nuts. Uh, Michael Steele. Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Uh, second question from pretty classy lady. Uh, how did you keep occupied on long flights and car rides back in the day? I can barely stand a few hours myself.
SPEAKER_01:Well, uh, we had a lot of guys in the car, you know what I mean? Uh at least three guys, you know, that we travel with. So we, you know, we were very good at entertaining ourselves.
SPEAKER_00:You know, I it's surprising because even like when Teddy and I, when we make road trips together, we start talking about so many things, whether it's wrestling related or not wrestling related. By the time we get to where we're going, hey, we we time's kind of passed a lot quicker than we thought because you got somebody you can constantly talk to. And that's you know, that's a good thing. If I'm riding by myself, though, two, three hours tops is about as long as I want to be in a car by myself.
SPEAKER_01:Well, you're right about that.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah, because otherwise it gets too difficult. Uh, let's see, Michael Steele. Hey, brother, good to see you in here saying Boston Cream is the best.
SPEAKER_01:Michael Steele, my man. I love Michael, man. What a great guy. Uh, I'm gonna be at WrestleKade uh next month, Michael. So hope I get a chance to see you there, man. But good always talking to you, man. Love you, brother.
SPEAKER_00:All right, guys, we gotta step away real fast because it's time to open up that mailbag and see what people are asking Teddy.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, here's that hard letter.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, we get letters, we get the letter every day. We got those letters, letters I got what you got to take.
SPEAKER_00:And that is Teddy's favorite uh part of the program right there.
SPEAKER_01:He wrote that song. It's horrible.
SPEAKER_00:By the way, if you want to be a part of the show, it's real simple. Just leave us a question in the uh chat room there. We'll throw it up on the screen. Uh, even if it's not a question, it's just a comment, whatever it may be, throw it up there. We'll talk about it. Uh, it doesn't cost you anything, by the way. There's no super chats, no charges for anything. It's absolutely free. Uh oh, also, real quick, a uh a little update. Teddy and I will no longer be with Sports Keda after next week. Uh, they're closing down a portion of their business. I don't know exactly why, what reason is, but they're shutting down the entire channel. Uh, so there's a chance that you're probably going to see Bill Aptor join us every uh once in a while on this show, uh, so he can answer some questions as well. Uh, and we'll be doing that in the future. But uh if you want to keep up to date with everything that's taking place with Teddy and I, Teddy, uh myself and Bill, whatever shows we may be on, just make sure you log on to YouTube's Road Trip After Hours. Subscribe, hit the notification button, and uh you'll know all the latest news as it breaks.
SPEAKER_01:And and uh the the good part about it, if uh you want to ask uh Bill After some questions, then you know, by the time that he joins us here on uh Road Trip After Hours, he'll probably done did his spent in rehab. He is in rehab right now. He has an addiction to uh tick crack. So uh by the time he get out of rehab and get on us, you know, you can ask Bill about you know what was his time like in rehab and you know how was it, you know, trying to kick the habit of those of crack? So yeah, we can you can talk to Bill.
SPEAKER_00:And and and Teddy understands that. I mean, he he can understand with that uh that need because you know his Boston Cream donut habit that he has is just as bad. Let's see. Freddie in South Carolina writes, was there ever someone in wrestling that others couldn't stand, but for some reason you got along with just fine? Well that's a good question, by the way, Freddie. That's a great question.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that is a great question. Well, like I said, I basically got along with everybody, you know what I mean? But uh there were some guys, you know, that uh were kind of out there, you know, but you know, you learn how to play the game and you can get along with them too.
SPEAKER_00:So let me ask you because you know, JBL had a uh he was gonna say this you just took that out right from him.
SPEAKER_01:I was gonna say JBO was one of the guys, you know, that they that a lot of guys didn't like. Because he just, you know, like I said, he pulled pranks on them, but they pretty much be a shoe. So yeah, yeah. You know, he wouldn't, you know, he his one on him, you know, he wouldn't let Matt Stryker dress in the locker room at one time. He'd make Matt Stryker take all of his clothes and dress in the janitor's closet. That's where he had to change at. He wouldn't let him in. Well, was he just ribbing him or was he I mean no, no, he was just uh something about Matt he didn't like, and so he just made him dress in the closet. Wow.
SPEAKER_00:That was the first name when I when I when I first read that out loud to myself. I was like, JBL's got to be the guy that I would think of because I you get along so well with JBL that hearing, especially because I've seen JBL and you together, and I well you see, here's the thing you can't sell for him.
SPEAKER_01:That's the worst thing you can do. If you sell for him, he got you. Oh, yeah. I never I never sold for him.
SPEAKER_00:You see, and it goes back to what I was talking about, the fair at the beginning of the show. You know, once I knew there was an issue, you know, and the and the cameraman sold for me, he was done. He was done that he was gonna ride that ride no matter what. Uh, pretty classy lady popping in saying that the uh also Mac, the thumbnail is hilarious, um, which is uh one of Teddy and I looking scared, I think, with the spiders all around us is the one that she's talking about. And also, uh plot twist Jones. Hey brother, isn't it ironic that the same people that were saying they were afraid to tell Vince that he already did the thing last week now need AI to tell them, laughing out loud. Look, I know on a serious note, when it comes to the AI, I'm not a big fan. Uh I understand it can maybe be useful in cases, uh, but you know, even in the voiceover industry, which I do a lot of voiceover work, and there are now constantly AI out there that can speak, you know, like an announcer. Here's the difference, though, and I can point every one of them out every time they show up on a commercial on TV, radio, wherever, I can tell immediately because there is no emotion. Emotion in wrestling is always gonna be there. So I don't know that AI can ever destroy wrestling, do you?
SPEAKER_01:Uh, I don't know, man. You know, my feeling on A AI or whatever that is, that that is pretty dangerous. When somebody can take your put your head on something and use your voice and say the words or whatever they want to say, you know what I mean? And and now they got people thinking it's you and you, and you know what I mean? That's that's that's pretty dangerous.
SPEAKER_00:That's daddy uh 40 ounce seed dub saying, uh, somebody call Carl Malone and get two chains to do a remix to that letters song. So there's always a comedian in here. If Bill has any tick crack he doesn't need, I can chase I can chase this with one or two of my drinks. Okay, I got I got you. If he needs something to swallow those tick cracks back, uh you can use one of your drinks.
SPEAKER_01:I got you. Well, well, when Bill comes on the show, you can uh call back and you can uh ask him that. I'm pretty sure he has some extra ones.
SPEAKER_00:I'm sure he I don't think he ever runs out. Teddy, I swear to you. I don't care what time of day I talk to him, he's got tick crack in his mouth every time. Every time. Irvin, Mike LaRue. They just put them one-on-one with The Undertaker.
SPEAKER_01:You could believe that player.
SPEAKER_00:Scott Gillespie, anyone ever pass gas in the ring and made Teddy, uh made Teddy break character? That's a good question. I mean, is any of the guys ever just farted right in your face?
SPEAKER_01:They did uh Prince Albert. Uh, you remember him? Yes. He he didn't uh he didn't just fart, he did the real deal. Oh no. And he looked right at me and he said, I done pooped on myself.
SPEAKER_00:Well, you know, you hear about a lot of people who do that from time to because they may be holding one and they're going to their match and they get slammed so hard that you know it just happens.
SPEAKER_01:That's what happened to him when he went down and I went down the count and he oh, I done pooped on myself. Well, what did he do?
SPEAKER_00:Did he just try to did he end the match at that point? Did he was he near the end?
SPEAKER_01:You keep on going. I mean, you can't just stop.
SPEAKER_00:You know, what happens if you're starting to drag it all over the ring?
SPEAKER_01:Well, I we'll have to wait till that day comes.
SPEAKER_00:All of a sudden he gets in a position where he may have wiped a little bit and you got to slap the three count and it's right under the like I said, he was pretty because a lot of time the guys, the tights are pretty tight, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01:So you know Imagine if somebody had diarrhea.
SPEAKER_00:I don't I'm not trying to say it and be sounding bad on the show, but I mean, really, if that happens, and that you know, that's you can't help that. It just boom, it happens, it's there. Jeez, if you got white shorts on brother, you in trouble.
SPEAKER_01:It is it is what it is.
SPEAKER_00:I'm thinking that uh it could ruin a career very easily. Can you imagine one of the biggest heels in the company? Well, it may it may work for a heel, but but one of the biggest baby faces of the company all of a sudden just does his business all over himself in the in the wrestling ring live on TV. Can you imagine if the rock had done that? I don't think you'd get over that.
SPEAKER_01:But see, Rock know how to get out of it.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, he would. Chris Jericho would for sure, because he said boys know how to do this.
SPEAKER_01:They know how to work around that and make that and make you like that, whether you liked it or not.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. All right, let's see. Uh Joe, hey Joe, great to see you in here, brother. Nick uh Patrick. A new match, super pooper match. I bet you Joe has seen some people do that as well.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, of course he has. Yes.
SPEAKER_00:Let's see. Cynthia in Oregon writes, I'm a seasoned woman. She's been listening to you, uh, Teddy. And I recently decided to watch WWE again after nearly 20 years because of our show. It was boring, not near as good as it once was. Please note, my 11-year-old grandson watched it with me. He asked if we could watch something else. Wow. Wow. That's an 11-year-old kid. So now I don't know who their target demo is anymore. I really don't. Uh, but uh that says a lot about where you're where the creative is. If you can't maintain an 11-year-old boy's attention to wrestling, there's got to be a problem.
SPEAKER_01:It's like I told you, man, it's I think you know, it's too much, and they got a lot on their hands, man. You know, you're trying to be creative for all these guys, man. You know, it's it's it's that's a lot of work.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. I let's see. Uh Eric Heelbiz, Teddy, during the sky craper, yeah, skyscraper days. Did you take one look at Sid and tell instantly that he was going to be a big deal?
SPEAKER_01:No, I didn't. Uh I did, you know, when uh I first got together with Dan with Sid and Danny, you know, I always kind of was with Danny, you know, most of the time. You know, we was all together, but I didn't sit and I never did really have no big conversations or nothing. So I, you know, I really, really didn't know. I was just happy to be with him to manage him.
SPEAKER_00:He also uh says, I just wanted to say that we love and appreciate you both very much. Thanks again for everything you do in the biz. Eric.
SPEAKER_01:Well, thank you so much, man. Thank you very much for you know you're thinking about us. Thank you.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and by you, I I found it funny. I saw somebody today say uh that uh oh, the uh the the shows must not have been doing well in sports keto for them to close the channel. Let me tell you, that's not the case. They the the reach with sports keto was incredible. Uh and not just on their YouTube page. Uh, it's just uh a business decision that they made to uh let things go and to streamline their business, and they have every right to do whatever they think is necessary uh for their business. Uh so we no hard feelings towards sports keto whatsoever, but just stay tuned with us right here at Road Trip After Hours, and uh you'll be seeing some uh faces pop in and out of here that I think you'll enjoy. Uh let's see what else. We got so many people getting in here. Plot twist Jones is saying, Mac, have you heard AI music? Pretty crazy. Teddy, I have heard uh some uh AI music to the point where I did not realize it wasn't an artist on the top 40 chart. That is frightening.
SPEAKER_01:I heard one uh that they did with Smokey Robinson, and it was AI. Yeah, I swear to God. I if they hadn't told me, I wouldn't have never thought no more.
SPEAKER_00:No, no. Uh 40 ounce C dub. Damn, mush pie all the way back like a baby. The locker room shower afterwards, ha. Did you get that, Teddy?
SPEAKER_01:I have no idea what he's talking about.
SPEAKER_00:I think Chris has had one too many drinks tonight already.
SPEAKER_01:Oh one too many blunts or something. I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:I see. Uh oh, Big Show talking about pooping, did it once. I want to say after a Brock suplex. I do believe I've heard Big Show mention that he uh yeah, that he he had the same issue. And uh and Nick Nick Patrick saying, Unfortunately, done it myself. So he is uh Nick Patrick has pooped himself before uh when I wrestled, uh Dr. Death's running slam.
SPEAKER_01:Oh well, that that that says it all right there, yeah, man.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, man. That's that's that's a brick house right there.
SPEAKER_01:That's like that's like you swallowed a laxative, yeah, man.
SPEAKER_00:Ron Simmons saying, damn, when someone poops their shorts in the ring. Laughing now, that's Scott Gillespie with that one. Also, we have uh, let's see, Nicole. I think it says Arizona. I can't really read what that says. I think it says Arizona. What wrestling impressions can you do? Do you you have any wrestling? I I know of one I've heard you do that I thought you were pretty good at.
SPEAKER_01:Uh, I do a little bit of the chic, God rest his soul. I do a little bit of him. Sometimes I can do a little bit of dusty if you will.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah, you're the ones that you do that I am so used to is the dusty, but but the chic, whenever you start talking like the show, we're going to car we were talking about stories earlier when Teddy and I drive. And Teddy will go into that uh that tone of the the chic while he's telling me some stories, and I can just imagine the chic saying those things to me himself. He's he's that's one of your favorite ones for me, at least.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, we're on the airplane. I'll give you one. We was on the airplane one time, and so we were sitting down, so the lady came by and she kept trying to get him to you know let his seat up, you know, and all he got hot. Oh, you're a fucking douchebag. You're gonna tell me douchebag, you're gonna tell me.
SPEAKER_00:Now, were you next to him at the time? Yeah. Now, what are you doing?
SPEAKER_01:Are you are you just hiding your head going, that's just I just you know, you don't do nothing, you just sit there and just look out in space and let him rent.
SPEAKER_00:Even Bruce uh Sarge, uh, who's popping in saying hello, Teddy. Uh, I think he popped yeah a couple times. Sarge said, Hello.
SPEAKER_01:Wait, what's going on, Dwayne?
SPEAKER_00:You know, the first time I met him was at the power plant. Uh I was working for a radio station here, and we gave away uh an opportunity to go to the uh the power plant to train uh during one of their training sessions. They have at certain times of the year they would do that, and so we had a winner go there. They didn't last even a day uh because of the the intense, you know. I don't think they had any SARS.
SPEAKER_01:Listen, if you ain't ready, do not get in the ring with SARS, girls. He is dead serious. Okay, yeah. So I'm telling you, if you want to learn and get it right, then you hang in there with him. And once he's done with you, if you ain't got it, then you never will get it.
SPEAKER_00:Let's see. We have uh Chris also saying, I always had one, uh, he's talking about a problem or an accident. Uh trainee Nick had to tell Papa Marco too much protein and took myself to the Taco Bell down the road.
SPEAKER_01:Good.
SPEAKER_00:And let's see, I think that's it for right there. We do have we had enough time for I guess a name association. You want to try to do this while we got a little bit of time here, Teddy? That's up to you. All right. What's uh we'll see how far we can go. And we keep taking your questions too. If you want to get any more questions in, do so. We'll throw them up. On the screen, uh name association. Uh, this is uh from Piper's Pot. The first one is Funaki.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, Funaki. He was he was funny. You know what I mean? They he he he he told everybody one time he couldn't drive, and they caught him driving one time. Oh god, did they rip him?
SPEAKER_00:I bet he drove every time after that. I bet he started.
SPEAKER_01:He had he had people chauffeur him around, you know, because he's here, and you know, guys want to make sure he gets to the towns and stuff, you know. So he's just hopping, you know, car hopping. And we saw him one day. I guess he got you know, learned how to get a rental car and he was driving. Oh god, they they blistered him. I think they took the car from him or something like that.
SPEAKER_00:Now, here's one I'm curious about because uh he's been in the news quite a bit in the last uh year, it seems. Justin credible.
SPEAKER_01:Uh, I met Justin uh over the years. I think the last time I saw him was on an independent when I was out there in Texas. Uh and uh he came out and they used him out there and uh saw him out there. Uh, you know, nice guy, man. I you know, we always talked and had a great conversation, but you know, never hung out, or we never, you know, I never went to the clubs or nothing like that with him. But further than that, do you know a real nice guy?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I know he's had a lot of problems, uh, where he's uh from what people say allegedly taking uh advantage of fans and you know trying to get money out of people, and and he's had his issues with uh some demons, and he's still fighting those issues to this day, which is unfortunate uh to be that far along and still letting those demons control you like that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, it's yeah.
SPEAKER_00:All right, let's see. Uh the next one is another ECW guy, and that's Sandman.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, Sandman. Uh me and him uh rode around uh a couple of times. I rode with him, uh, had had a smoke or two with him, too, you know. So he was always a nice guy, man. Just super nice.
SPEAKER_00:Was he smart to the business, Teddy? Did he did he come across like he really understood the business? Or because you know, some of those guys in ECW, they were a bit of a different breed.
SPEAKER_01:Well, Sandman was smart to the business. Sandman had been there long enough to understand, you know, what it was really like, you know, and thank and I think he was close with Paul, so you know, he was able to learn a lot right there, too. You know, he was right up on the pause, one of Paul Paul's guys. Yeah, so uh, but he was he he he was a lot of people, you know, said stuff about him, but I didn't never see that, man. He always had a great attitude, man. You could go to him, talk to him, you know. Hell of a nice guy, I'm telling you.
SPEAKER_00:All right, Teddy. Uh, we got to figure out uh a winner for tonight for the uh free road trip after hours t-shirt. Uh Teddy picks that every time uh you get a question in here. He listens and makes up his mind before the end of the show.
SPEAKER_01:I'd like to send that to the lady that uh she says her son couldn't even watch wrestling. Okay, let's send him that t-shirt.
SPEAKER_00:That was uh Cynthia in Oregon. So, Cynthia, we'll get that out to you. I've got your uh your address, uh, got your email address. So I'll send you a message out and just uh shoot me back your information and we'll take care of that. Uh so congratulations to Cynthia in Oregon. We'll be back here again next week, next Thursday night. Uh anything coming up for you, Teddy, between now and then you want to talk about?
