We have a great topic that

1:45

that is the pros and

1:47

cons of being a pro

1:49

wrestling superstar. And all

1:52

three of you are. So Tommy,

1:54

I'll start with you, the

1:56

pros and cons of being

1:58

a pro-rest... Superstar, let me start with

2:00

the pros of being a star. I

2:03

would never consider myself a superstar. I

2:05

would, you know, even when I was

2:07

in the WWE, I was more the

2:10

common dudes being there, but I would

2:12

say the price for fame. For me,

2:14

this is all I've ever wanted to

2:16

do, ever wanted to be, this has

2:19

been my dream since I'm 10 years

2:21

old and I'm 54 years old and

2:23

I've been living my dream since I'm

2:26

18 years old. If I reflect back

2:28

on a lot of things, sometimes you

2:30

say, man, maybe I should have done

2:32

it this way or, you know, but

2:35

really at the end of the day,

2:37

I don't have any regrets. Scars on

2:39

your body or stories. All the things

2:42

where you just look at your what

2:44

you did who you helped and your

2:46

your accomplishments are really really cool The

2:48

pros I was able to buy my

2:51

parents a house. I live a good

2:53

life. I get to talk about wrestling.

2:55

I get to talk about something I

2:58

love I get to still wrestle and

3:00

be a part of the wrestling industry

3:02

There is none right and when I

3:05

say pros it's everything that you always

3:07

wanted and everything that I ever want

3:09

you know wanted every Every car I

3:11

ever wanted I've had you know I've

3:14

had multiple houses all that stuff The

3:16

cons is and and I but it's

3:18

it's what you give up and what

3:21

you sacrifice and every single person has

3:23

to be okay with it I always

3:25

say this the moment I walk through

3:27

the threshold of my door I have

3:30

to be Tommy dreamer when you go

3:32

to the supermarket, when you go, when

3:34

you literally bring out your trash. It

3:37

happened to me the other day. I

3:39

walked outside, my hair was a mess,

3:41

thank goodness I had a shirt on,

3:43

and a car drove by and slowed

3:46

down and like, hey man, what's going

3:48

on? I heard you lived in the

3:50

neighborhood. Just want to say I'm big

3:53

fan, love you on the radio, and

3:55

I was just pulling out my trash

3:57

at like 715 in the morning. And

3:59

I was like, oh man, thank you

4:02

so much. much, blah blah blah blah,

4:04

I appreciate you. And he said, all

4:06

right bro, see you later. Boom, never

4:09

talk to the guy, never seen the

4:11

guy, I don't know who he is,

4:13

but obviously he lives in my neighborhood.

4:15

The moment you walk through that threshold,

4:18

you have to be that person. So

4:20

you get your privacy, you kind of

4:22

have to be on from, again, I've

4:25

told you this story, that I walked

4:27

my daughters to school or drove my

4:29

daughters to school. each and every day

4:31

when I was home, or at least

4:34

I would pick them up, when I

4:36

went back to the WWV with Bubba

4:38

and the Wyets and all that stuff,

4:41

those same people I passed every day,

4:43

the next day when I showed up

4:45

on that Tuesday, it was different. And

4:47

everyone's like, because I was on Monday

4:50

Night Raw, wrestling was hot, but you'll,

4:52

and you become like, and as you're

4:54

walking, hey, can my kid take a

4:57

picture with you, blah, blah blah, blah,

4:59

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

5:01

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, sure. These

5:03

are. These are. These are. And, but

5:06

you can't ever be like, hey, I'm

5:08

just trying to, you can, but then,

5:10

you know, with social media, all that

5:13

stuff, it is just like, you know,

5:15

you can't be a jerk. You have

5:17

to just be on and I'm okay

5:19

with that, even if I'm dog tired,

5:22

if I'm hurt, if I'm all that

5:24

stuff, we, listen man, last night I'm

5:26

here in Kansas City when I do

5:29

it, we had a guy walk up

5:31

and he was drunk, What are all

5:33

guys doing in town? He's like, wrestling?

5:36

He's like, I'll kick your ass. And

5:38

I literally had to be the baby

5:40

face, old school me, different times, different

5:42

ways, and I literally, I thought of,

5:45

sit with Bubba. And I was just

5:47

like, I have to be different now,

5:49

how I would handle that situation. So

5:52

I just stood up and I was

5:54

like, hey man, I appreciate it. If

5:56

you're a fan, cool, if you're not,

5:58

that's inappropriate. That's inappropriate. That's inappropriate. So

6:01

cool bro, I appreciate you, but I'm

6:03

also with a younger generation of wrestlers

6:05

that were like, they didn't know how

6:08

to handle it or is this crazy

6:10

person going to? I know how to

6:12

diffuse a system. I have seen it.

6:14

I have seen it way too many

6:17

times with my two friends here because

6:19

I am like, I know, don't touch

6:21

Mark Henry. I know that. And I've

6:24

seen people do it. And I'm like,

6:26

why? Why would you do that? Why

6:28

would you literally go up to and

6:30

touch a stranger? And I've seen people

6:33

say comments to Bubba and I'm like,

6:35

now I have to be on this

6:37

defense. If Tommy Dreamer, Mark Henry and

6:40

Bubba Ray Dudley. were regular people that

6:42

may not happen as much as it

6:44

has happened in so many times. Again,

6:46

those are the pros. For me, those

6:49

are the cons. I don't have any

6:51

regrets. And the cons are like, I've

6:53

also seen stuff where it reflects your

6:56

children, where you didn't ever think about

6:58

that when you were younger. And, you

7:00

know, even talking with someone like Trish

7:02

Stratus, where Trish's younger daughter is like,

7:05

Mommy, you said this. or not and

7:07

like because of then what other kids

7:09

at school and even she's like well

7:12

mommy's playing a bad person that's why

7:14

and okay well here's money for the

7:16

square jar what we have all done

7:18

is not normal it's also like how

7:21

we have to say things again social

7:23

media and I guess the only con

7:25

for me is really about this show

7:28

about our social media clips uh... straight

7:30

up the john moxley thing and everyone's

7:32

like how could tomie dreamer say this

7:34

is gory and i was like i

7:37

didn't say it you get based upon

7:39

a clip you get based on a

7:41

thing as opposed to a three-hour show

7:44

and the negativity gets thrown at you

7:46

and then like but like you even

7:48

said it did because you're going through

7:50

this you just have to tune it

7:53

out that's why like i said i

7:55

don't go on social media anymore you

7:57

you you went about reading the comments

8:00

because it's just like and i loved

8:02

we just had him on O.S. Jackson.

8:04

And he's like, you can't teach, you

8:07

know, what to say, you can't. stupid?

8:09

Or you know, you can't change stupid.

8:11

You're going off of stuff. That's the

8:13

only con. And again, for me, I

8:16

don't care, but you also have a

8:18

family and you also have people read

8:20

this. I'll never forget when my mom

8:23

like hit me up and she's like,

8:25

why are people saying this about you?

8:27

And she's like, someone from, and she

8:29

went to like, uh, a senior center.

8:32

And she was like, someone's grandchild told

8:34

this lady who told me while they're

8:36

playing bingo. And now I'm explaining to

8:39

my mom, and I was like, mom,

8:41

that's wrestling. And she's like, well, I

8:43

don't think it's nice. And I go,

8:45

well, I'm trying to explain this to

8:48

my mother, but again, you don't realize

8:50

the ramifications that they have on other

8:52

people in your lives that you truly

8:55

and really do love. So, Bully, let

8:57

me ask you the same question, and

8:59

even Tommy talked about regrets, but, you

9:01

know, you are being recognized, you're a

9:04

public figure, things that you say are

9:06

going to carry weight, for sure. So,

9:08

being a pro wrestler, forget even just

9:11

the word superstar, but being a pro

9:13

wrestler, the pros and cons, starting with

9:15

the pros of being a pro, like,

9:17

the pros of being a pro wrestler.

9:20

Sex, money, booze, and rock and

9:23

roll. Okay, I mean, I would

9:25

think that if somebody brought those

9:27

things up to you when you

9:29

were younger, you would sign up

9:31

and say, where do I sign?

9:33

Let's go. I wanted to be

9:36

a rock star, and I wanted

9:38

to be a pro wrestler, and

9:40

a pro wrestler for both reasons.

9:42

Girls, money, fame, fun, rock and

9:44

roll. Perform in every major arena

9:46

in the world. That's

9:49

so I did what exactly what

9:51

I wanted to do is there.

9:53

All right. So you you're able

9:55

to fair to say you were

9:58

able to live your dream and

10:00

continue to be able to live

10:02

your dream. And I got to

10:04

live it the way I wanted

10:06

to live it. Was there any

10:08

cons to that? The travel, stress

10:10

on relationships, all that stuff. I

10:12

wouldn't trade in. See, here's what's

10:14

different about me, Tommy, and Mark.

10:17

Mark and Tommy are married with

10:19

children. I never wanted to be

10:21

married and I never wanted children.

10:23

I'm 50-50 on marriage now. Like

10:25

I would love, and I'm lucky

10:27

to hang out with some very

10:29

nice ladies. You know? I've been

10:31

lucky enough over my life to

10:34

hang out with nice ladies is

10:36

what I meant to say. And

10:38

I'm 50-50 on marriage but I

10:40

never wanted kids I never wanted

10:42

that responsibility. So the pressures that

10:44

Tommy and Mark felt I never

10:46

felt. I was on my own

10:48

I was doing my thing and

10:50

I was having a blast and

10:53

I'm still doing that. So are

10:55

there some cons that come with

10:57

the territory? Sure. Being bothered when

10:59

you're in the middle of biting

11:01

taking a bite of your steak.

11:03

Is that really a con? I

11:05

mean, what do I do for

11:07

a living? I talk on the

11:09

radio now. I Sign my name

11:12

and I take pictures with people.

11:14

I don't dig ditches I'm not

11:16

laying you know railroad tracks across

11:18

the nation. I don't put roofs

11:20

on houses in Phoenix or Florida

11:22

Like I got a nice fucking

11:24

life I don't I'm not complaining

11:26

And sometimes when I do find

11:29

shit to complain about, I try

11:31

to remind myself that what do

11:33

I really have to complain about?

11:35

I mean, I think everybody needs

11:37

to do that from time to

11:39

time. What about the physical toll

11:41

it's taken on you? I'm 53

11:43

years old. I stand straight up.

11:45

I still speak well. I have

11:48

my wits about me. I've been

11:50

able to take care of my

11:52

body to the best of my

11:54

ability while still doing some crazy

11:56

stuff. I've had my head caved

11:58

in. but won't have my head

12:00

caved in anymore. I'm doing pretty

12:02

good. And when I go to

12:05

the doctor and we do the

12:07

checkup and the physical and he

12:09

puts the glove on, oh man,

12:11

well maybe we shouldn't talk about

12:13

that, everything, thank God, knock on

12:15

wood up until this broadcast right

12:17

now, is going well. Sure, it

12:19

takes its toll on you. I'm

12:21

not gonna live to be, I

12:24

mean, I'm gonna try, I'm gonna

12:26

try to. Do the best I

12:28

can with the years that I

12:30

have left and have a great

12:32

time? Do I expect to, you

12:34

know, to live to, I don't

12:36

know, 80, 85? Who knows? I'm

12:38

not here for a long time,

12:41

but I'm sure as hell here

12:43

for a good time. All right,

12:45

so fair enough, and God bless.

12:47

And honestly, when we, you know,

12:49

we've decided to talk about this

12:51

today, I'm like, that is my

12:53

brutally honest answer about the pros

12:55

and cons. Because like I said,

12:57

listen, I, I was on the

13:00

road with Devon for 20 years.

13:02

Devon raised the family from his

13:04

phone. We, me and Devon were

13:06

on the road forever, whether it

13:08

was 300 nights a year or

13:10

150 nights a year, touring the

13:12

world nonstop. And Devon has like

13:14

94 or 95 children. So like

13:16

he raised his family on the

13:19

phone. That phone was attached to

13:21

his ear. At one point, Devon

13:23

had was like what we have.

13:25

You know, the headphones with the

13:27

microphone in front of him out?

13:29

Because he was on the phone

13:31

so much. So like, the Khan

13:33

is trying to raise a family

13:36

when you're on the road. Mark,

13:38

I'm sure every once in a

13:40

while when you get into a

13:42

fight with Mama. And you're on

13:44

the road and you can't be

13:46

there to just kiss and make

13:48

up. That's difficult to do, but

13:50

I've never experienced those cons before.

13:52

Advice for little kids. From a

13:55

former little kid. What do you

13:57

want to be when you grew

13:59

up? It's super annoying. Just say

14:01

whatever pops into your head. Firefighting

14:03

princes are president of Mars. You're

14:05

a kid. The kids change their

14:07

minds. It's not a legally binding.

14:09

An Ohio tax-free 529 plan is

14:12

made for change. Savings can be

14:14

used for college or all kinds

14:16

of career training nationwide or even

14:18

rolled over into a Roth IRA.

14:20

So take some of that tax

14:22

refund and get started at College

15:29

Charlie Heller is the CIA's most

15:31

brilliant computer analyst, whose life is

15:33

turned upside down when his wife

15:35

is murdered in a terrorist attack.

15:38

Rought with grief, Charlie decides her

15:40

killers must pay. Without any field

15:42

experience, Charlie must track the globe

15:44

and use his biggest weapon. His

15:47

intelligence to enact his revenge, because

15:49

the most unexpected threat is an

15:51

amateur. Starring Academy Award winner Rami

15:53

Malik, an Academy Award nominee Lawrence

15:55

Fishburn, the amateur rated PG13. only

15:58

in theaters 9th, April 11th. All

16:00

right, so let's get into it because

16:03

Mark, you know, bully just described, you

16:05

know, he didn't want to be married,

16:07

he didn't want to have kids. So

16:10

his lifestyle never had an issue, no

16:12

pressure. You're just the opposite, Mark, wife,

16:14

children. You know, I'm sure that took

16:17

a toll on you mentally, knowing that

16:19

there are people that were waiting for

16:21

you at home. So let me ask

16:24

you the same question, being a pro

16:26

wrestler. Let's start the pros of being

16:28

a pro wrestlerler. You

16:31

know what Dave? It

16:33

was different between me

16:35

and Bullitt. Like when

16:37

I say different, I

16:40

mean, our objectives in

16:42

life, the, I didn't

16:44

have sex till I

16:46

was 19 years old.

16:48

So sex was not

16:51

an option. I didn't

16:53

have any money, Dave.

16:55

I was 25. So

16:57

money was not the

17:00

motivated fact. My mother

17:02

never made more than

17:04

$12,000 in a year

17:06

and was too pride

17:08

for to take government

17:11

assistance. We were poor.

17:13

We didn't have shit.

17:15

So I didn't know

17:17

rich or having money

17:20

was not an option.

17:22

The thing that drove

17:24

me was accomplishment. I

17:26

was conan. I

17:28

traveled the world for swords.

17:31

I wanted to take other

17:33

people's swords and hang them

17:35

fuckers on the wall and

17:38

go look what I did.

17:40

I got an adaptation of

17:42

the women. I got a

17:45

point. Bullie, you need to

17:47

see Conan. Would you please

17:50

just go watch Conan the

17:52

Barbarian police? What the world's

17:54

strongest man just said and

17:57

that he wanted to be

17:59

Conan and just destroy everybody

18:01

and take everybody's swords? Yes,

18:04

now I'm going to watch

18:06

Conan. Because James... Jones. It's

18:08

a difference between Little Pipsqueak

18:11

like you Dave LeGregor recommending

18:13

it and the world's strongest

18:15

bad. But to Mark's point,

18:18

James Earl Jones, who was

18:20

the villain, all he was

18:22

doing at the beginning of

18:25

the movie is collecting steel.

18:27

So like he would kill

18:29

full families, villages of people,

18:32

just to collect the stair

18:34

steel. Because that to him

18:36

was the strength came from

18:39

the steel. Continue Mark, sorry.

18:41

So me want to travel

18:43

the world and have people

18:46

clap for you when you

18:48

walk in a room. That

18:50

was the best feeling that

18:53

I could most that I

18:55

could dream of and that

18:57

I could think of. I

19:00

was so focused at 14

19:02

to 19 of accomplishing things

19:04

that there was nothing else.

19:07

And then when I when

19:09

I turned 19 and the

19:12

first girl asked me, so

19:14

where's your girlfriend? Like you

19:16

know you talk to people

19:19

I talk to everybody like

19:21

you know me. Yeah, talk

19:23

to the garbage man the

19:26

the guy changing the light

19:28

bulb in the elevator. Hey,

19:30

buddy. What's up man? I've

19:33

talked to everybody Nobody's exempt

19:35

but then when a woman

19:37

started talking back to me

19:40

and It's like so where's

19:42

your girlfriend? Where's your wife?

19:44

I don't have a girlfriend

19:47

and then they like what?

19:50

And you go, damn,

19:52

is she opening the

19:54

door? Like, wait a

19:56

minute, what's going on

19:58

here? Why is my

20:00

heart feeling like this?

20:02

Well, why am I

20:05

choking? Now I can't

20:07

put a sentence together.

20:09

Like, that, the people

20:11

saying that the women

20:13

didn't play a role

20:15

in it, or full

20:17

shit, like men's objective,

20:19

or accomplishment, women, and

20:22

then family, and growing

20:24

old. and establishing a

20:26

life and creating a

20:28

legacy. And then it

20:30

flips. You don't think

20:32

about dating and women

20:34

once you get one.

20:36

And you realize how

20:39

much work goes into

20:41

that. And now you

20:43

got kids and the

20:45

kids are there. Like

20:47

my accomplishment were my

20:49

children. Like my Like

20:51

I just, man, it

20:53

made me, it made

20:56

me, it made me

20:58

want to achieve even

21:00

more. Like now, I

21:02

gotta do it. I'm

21:04

not doing it because

21:06

I want to anymore.

21:08

I'm doing it because

21:10

I have to. You

21:13

have responsibilities. You have

21:15

people who are, you're

21:17

responsible for people now.

21:19

Right, they depend on

21:21

me. Yeah. And then

21:23

when I walked in

21:25

a room, Dave and

21:27

Billy, Tommy talked about

21:30

his hotel and the

21:32

status. That's what I

21:34

grew to love is

21:36

how I got treated.

21:38

Referential treatment. When I

21:40

walked, man, Dave, in

21:42

my prime, I would

21:44

go to a nightclub.

21:47

And I didn't have

21:49

to walk in the,

21:51

I didn't have to

21:53

stand in the line.

21:55

Oh shit, Mark human.

21:58

Yeah, yeah. the rapper Big

22:01

Pun and Fat Joe. We

22:03

walk around metal detectors. If

22:05

I had a piece on

22:08

me, nobody gave a shit.

22:10

I never walked through him.

22:12

I walked around him. I

22:15

was above the system. That's

22:17

what I grew to love.

22:19

Nice restaurant. I'm like, damn.

22:21

It'd be cool to go

22:24

there and get a steak.

22:27

Do you have a

22:29

reservation? No, I don't.

22:31

I'm sorry, sir. We're

22:33

not gonna. Wait, wait

22:35

a minute. Are you

22:37

more a kid? No,

22:40

no, no, shit. Move

22:42

them. Move them. Put

22:44

them over there in

22:46

the corner by the

22:48

bathroom. Give him the

22:50

center, people will give

22:52

me the center table.

22:54

I grew to, my

22:56

drive was for the

22:58

status. It was for

23:00

the. the preferential treatment.

23:02

And that's the plus.

23:05

The con is somebody

23:07

going up to your

23:09

kid and telling your

23:11

kid, while your dad

23:13

is an asshole, does

23:15

he beat y'all at

23:17

home like he does

23:19

people? Like, this is

23:21

real shit that happened?

23:26

You go somewhere, my

23:28

wife goes somewhere to

23:30

buy something for the

23:32

family or for herself.

23:34

And people go, oh,

23:36

that's Mark Henry's wife.

23:39

And they give you

23:41

the mark up price.

23:43

They would say, when

23:45

I walk in the

23:47

room, it was different.

23:49

People, people, you know,

23:52

they gave you to.

23:55

They gave you the smile

23:57

and in the in the

23:59

in the right this way

24:01

But my family go in

24:03

there and they treat them

24:06

like shit. It's a kind.

24:08

They try to sell oversell.

24:10

Hell, I had little girl

24:12

scouts come to my house.

24:14

You live in a gated

24:17

community and you got to

24:19

push the button to get

24:21

in and you spend $100,000

24:23

on yard service every year.

24:25

Like... The people

24:27

that come in your neighborhood

24:30

have a certain expectation Them

24:32

girl scouts come out. They

24:35

start handing you shit like

24:37

you already asked for it

24:39

Like no, I just want

24:42

one box Oh, but we

24:44

have a whole package and

24:47

you can have this for

24:49

$50. No, no, I don't

24:52

little girl I want that

24:54

to expectation of people. And

24:56

my time, I told you

24:59

one of the biggest arguments,

25:01

at least two or three

25:04

times, I told you about

25:06

the time, I'm walking the

25:09

street in New York and

25:11

I'm holding my wife's hand

25:13

and the guy comes up

25:16

and passing me on my

25:18

stomach like a puppy. And

25:22

I grabbed his arm and

25:24

started twisting it in different

25:26

directions. And now he's begging

25:29

for his life, and my

25:31

wife is going to stop.

25:33

You're going to go to

25:35

jail. Dave, I've been to

25:37

jail about four times for

25:40

having to choke a motherfucker.

25:42

But for overstepping your bounds.

25:44

That's a kind. There are

25:46

things that they're completely out

25:49

of my... I would never

25:51

walk up and grab somebody

25:53

white kids. Just random, just

25:55

walk up. That's how I

25:58

feel when you walk up

26:00

and you grab me by

26:02

the script. neck and go,

26:04

wow, you're a big guy.

26:07

You slap me on my

26:09

back to where it sound

26:11

like Rick Flair chopped you.

26:13

I don't deserve that shit.

26:16

No. But it's a gun

26:18

to the fact that people

26:20

see you and recognize, okay,

26:22

I got it, man, I've

26:25

bawled in my life. I

26:27

don't do drugs, I don't

26:29

do drugs, I don't drink

26:31

alcohol. I don't smoke cigars

26:34

anymore. I used to smoke

26:36

cigars maybe once a month.

26:38

I don't smoke cigars no

26:40

more. My fatal flaw was

26:43

bawling. It's a bunch of

26:45

girls had good times when

26:47

I was around. I bought

26:49

the bar. I bet I

26:52

bought $40,000 worth of champagne

26:54

and liquor and didn't take

26:56

one swallow in my life.

27:00

entertaining the crew. Taking

27:03

the boys out. Being

27:05

the big guy. Sicon.

27:08

Ego. It's like, so

27:10

there's things that come

27:12

with it, but I've

27:15

grown to love nice

27:17

things. I love great

27:20

food, I love nice

27:22

cars. I want to

27:25

fly first class. And

27:28

I almost feel like it's

27:30

a demotion in life when

27:33

I got a fly coach.

27:35

And there's times where I

27:37

have to fly coach and

27:39

my spoiled jaded ass is

27:41

sitting there going, this is

27:43

fucking the shits. When there's

27:46

people that don't have shoes

27:48

to walk anywhere. And then

27:50

I have to bring myself

27:52

back to that realization. Dumb

27:54

down your ego player. So

27:59

Yes, there are pros and

28:01

there are cons to being

28:04

a wrestler a celebrity an

28:06

entertainer musician Whatever it is

28:08

that you do Dave Le

28:11

Greca has the the perks

28:13

now I Remember when I

28:15

first met you and you

28:18

talked about the kind of

28:20

money that you made and

28:22

I went that's fucked up

28:25

Remember that yeah, remember that

28:27

I know who you are,

28:29

you are, celebrity. Your celebrity,

28:31

you should be making way

28:34

more than that. Damn. And

28:36

God is good. Like things

28:38

are better now. Yes. They

28:41

can be better. And they

28:43

will be better. Because you

28:45

gotta speak it into existence.

28:48

But that's the power of

28:50

positivity in Mark Henry. I

28:52

know that it don't always

28:55

work. But

28:57

we got to act we

28:59

got to strive for it.

29:01

We got to work towards

29:03

it But the whole point

29:05

of the thing is is

29:07

things get better But I'm

29:09

sure that you got some

29:11

neighbors or you got some

29:13

people that come by and

29:15

they try to get you

29:17

Hey Dave, can you show

29:20

up and say hi and

29:22

but they don't want to

29:24

pay you to show up?

29:26

You got to pay gas

29:28

money time and time away

29:30

from your wife and your

29:32

family, but they just, I

29:34

just, you know, come do,

29:36

can you do me a

29:38

favor? Then fuck favors. How

29:40

many favors you get every

29:42

year? I wish I could

29:44

go to some of these

29:46

businesses that paid me and

29:48

go, hey man, can y'all

29:50

do me a favor, cut

29:52

me a couple of months

29:54

checks without me doing shit?

29:56

You see what I'm saying

29:58

when it's the flip side

30:00

of the coin? It's true.

30:02

Don't look the same! But

30:04

it took me a long

30:07

time. to get there and

30:09

I'm there. You remember Pulp

30:11

Fiction? You remember when Samuel

30:13

Jackson was in the restaurant

30:15

with O. Ringo? Ringo? I'm

30:17

trying my best to be

30:19

the Shepherd. Trying. But you're

30:21

not making it easy. The

30:23

world is not making it

30:25

easy. And I love the

30:27

fact. that I get treated

30:29

the way I get treated.

30:31

And I thank everybody for

30:33

ever treating me with respect

30:35

for all the stuff that

30:37

I've done, all the punishment

30:39

that I've taken to my

30:41

body. But for the people

30:43

that try to take advantage

30:45

of me, because they saw

30:47

my success and they like,

30:49

fuck him, I don't care

30:51

how successful he is, I

30:53

want him to suck. The

30:56

all of those people. I

30:58

pray for you. So you

31:00

don't go to hell. Because

31:02

that fire is going to

31:04

be hot. It goes off

31:06

forever. I don't have that

31:08

hate in my heart no

31:10

more. There was a time

31:12

Dave when the piss and

31:14

vinegar used to get, it

31:16

used to get to here,

31:18

Dave. Yeah, I know. But

31:20

I know, A. God doesn't

31:22

took that for me. Man,

31:24

I try to be around

31:26

people that's gonna protect me.

31:28

And I got people around

31:30

me now that's like, oh,

31:32

back up, don't touch him,

31:34

leave alone. That's my blessing.

31:36

You and Kelly and Paul

31:38

and Bully and Tommy and

31:40

dog and Thunder and all

31:43

the people that work for

31:45

Series XM, when we get

31:47

together, y'all like my security.

31:49

I thank y' y'all like

31:51

y' y'all like my security.

31:53

I thank y' y' y'

31:55

y' y' y' y' y'

31:57

y' y' y' y' y'

31:59

y' y' y' y' y'

32:01

y' y' y' y' all

32:03

I appreciate it. That's the

32:05

pros. And I don't... Now

32:07

I'm not getting as many

32:09

kinds because I know how

32:11

to not put myself in

32:13

the place to get those

32:15

kinds. But when the racial

32:17

kinds come and the business,

32:19

financial conversation kinds come, I

32:21

can deal with it. I

32:23

can deal with it now

32:25

because I'm equipped to deal

32:27

with it. So yeah, there's

32:30

pros and cons. It's all

32:32

based off of your wants

32:34

and in what position you

32:36

put yourself in. I know

32:38

what I want and I

32:40

know what position I'm gonna

32:42

put myself in so I

32:44

have less cons today. That's

32:46

why you have to crush

32:48

your enemies, have them driven

32:50

before you and a limitation

32:52

to the women. Mark, thank

32:54
