[Music]
and action uh do we got D
camer no he's
nuts that's good how you doing doing
well I'm doing way to started off with
the de nuts yeah like something I just
made off the rip I'm going say I'm a big
fan what is your definition of a fan if
you must say uh something that mov air
mhm so when people say I'm a big fan
what do you think instantly when you
hear man they must move a lot of air
mhm okay it's hard to see you right now
it's not the first time I've gotten that
mhm
so I must ask the move F you yes what do
F you stand for well um you know your
interpretation could be whatever it
needs to be mine was simply you mhm
yeah so you did that move on a lot of
people yes with with that sort of intent
like you but it got
switched uh to the uh to the AA the
attitude adjustment which is a little
more I never knew about that it's okay
it's all right but you knew about the fu
yeah so at least we can start somewhere
yes the evolution of that move
eventually uh evolved itself into the
attitude adjustment so where did your
outfit come from like the attire with
the shorts no Shir what was it um I
didn't want to wrestle in standard
wrestling gear like uh spandex tights
and leather calf high boots so I wanted
to wear sneakers and shorts mhm I'm must
say you didn't done a lot of movies and
this is one of my favorite movies that
you're done I thought you were going to
say this is the
latest oh thank you what is what do we
have
here thank you I appreciate that this is
Malibu's Most Wanted right yeah that was
one of your Classics H um I I'm a big
fan of of giving accolades where they're
due and I'm also a big fan of respect
this possibly could be a photoshopped
image um I I I was a huge fan of Mal was
most wanted so I mean it's uh
unfortunately this is not I mean this is
me this is my face but unfortunately
this is not I was not in that movie but
it's a you know a misconception I'm
willing to I'm willing to digest that's
fine it's a pretty good pick oh
yeah sure I thought you I thought so
that's where I thought the Wardrobe came
from the Wardrobe yeah cuz it was your
always Dr style uh I think the origins
of it were were kind kind of down the
lane of of a Malibu's Most Wanted sort
of vibe yeah mhm yeah although that was
not me mhm yeah so Ryan
AKA
stacky sticky stacky Ryan stacky Ryan
stacky Ryan stacky
mhm I feel like it's a character that
you're playing of who you always being
and who you are in real life a character
that no one sees and hear about and you
step in a row with somebody else and we
already don't even see you that makes
sense I think what I'm hearing is you're
referring to Ricky sikki Right Ricky
steni correct correct okay uh that's an
interesting perspective not too
far-fetched yeah a guy playing an
imaginary friend who becomes real but
still can't be seen yeah yeah it's was
like it's pretty close to the the vest
I they kind of took the role of John
Cena and put him in a different name
Ricky Stan Nikki exactly and not Ryan
stacky exactly he's we don't have to put
him in the line of fire here so Ryan
staki might be a good man right for all
we know but the thing is when you you
came and took that road how was it was
it you being you or you was actually
trying to paint to be someone else cuz
you already we don't know who you are we
know you're there but we know you're not
there but do we know who you

sometimes the power of the B when you
was wrestling who was the hardest person
you was like they overdid it sometimes
or it was like
okay like you overdoing
it I've been know to overdo it a little
bit you the one it might have been me
you got a lot of
complaints well you asked me who I
thought was the most one that overdid it
in in my opinion might be me mhm cuz I
mean somehow my face got pasted on
Malibu's Most Wanted I think it might
over done it yeah
yeah yeah I overcook the turkey a little
bit on that one that's right
yeah for me being a fan I want to ask
you what was the match that you feel
like broke you up that said okay this
this is the match that put me on the
map versus The Rock Stone Cold yeah
that's a good question mankind you uh do
do you have one that stands out uh I I
like the one where you fought uh what's
his
name uh the Hulk Hogan match I feel like
that was a big match that that you did
when you and him fought and the h the
sale okay he threw you over okay you
fell hit the table and that was like a
big thing you know sometimes when we get
involved in moments that make us feel
emotional uh we tend to to blur the
specifics you know just uh we remember
how we felt so um I'm I'm glad that you
were excited do you remember that
match uh not not in the way you do mhm
um not in the way you do mm yeah did
that match ever exist this it did not
okay I was trying to catch you in a lie
that's okay that's all right that's all
right I was I was trying to allow you
your truth yeah so now that we know he's
not a liar guys I feel more comfortable
talking to
him I you were I think you were doing
just fine before I thought you real
comfortable again power the B so right
here I got the whole block wishing they
could run with my division
but they gone fishing with no
bat
can't your boy whole
wait let me run it back sure I got the
whole block wishing they could run my
division you know who said that I did
what block are you from um my block uh
isn't necessarily a block it's just one
street so you was homeless no no I'm
from a very small town with with with
close to one street a few streets so so
we didn't really have a block because
that like it's a city block so we didn't
have a block we just had like a street
that was part of your rep it was mhm it
was so what was this block
name I think it's a blanket statement
rather than geot targeting one block cuz
if I only Geo Target like one place then
all other blocks outside of that block
don't want to run with my division but I
wanted to pass the impression that every
block wishes they could run with my
division so it's kind of a blanket
statement if you want to be honest right
now um I mean what what's my answer no
please lie to me of course of course C
can we cuss on this channel can we cuss
I don't know yes oh this is my channel
okay cool I think I already I think I
already dropped the word so I don't
know
you think I'm bullshitting you yeah
because with the block thing yeah like
if I got a hold of anybody on this block
do they you would they really feel like
they was wishing to run your division or
was that cap be honest was that a lie so
I don't think it is uh it depends on
whom you ask like if you were to get a
specific block that maybe let's say had
a lot of WWE fans and you were or maybe
aspiring WWE Superstars and you were to
ask them at that time 2006 to let's say
2015 hey you want to do a little Trading
Places swap little Eddie Murphy Dan

every H Murphy come from Trading Places
oh the movie where he trades places with

like to hide from people yes uh I mean I
I think I've built a career out of
hiding for people becoming invisible so
whether I choose to admit it or not I
think maybe do mhm yeah do you uh it
depends on I'm at the airport some
people like to ask for pictures yeah and
I'll be like why do you want to ask for
pictures while we at the airport cuz you
got somewhere to go and I do too it's
like the weirdest place to ask also one
time I was at uh my grandma funeral

when you get through crying can I take
one and I was like
maybe okay yeah
okay I took one with
him it's it's very empathetic of you
yeah I don't know what that word mean
it's very giving of you oh yeah using
big words cuz you know I don't know what
they mean that is not true
oh why don't you like to post pictures
on your
page uh can can you be a little more
specific you don't post pictures of you
on your page so we can actually see you
what page Instagram oh yeah uh cuz I'm
you can't see me is it because you're
running from Child
Support what I'm hearing is you're
asking me if I don't post pictures of
myself on
Instagram because there's a theory that
I'm running from uh outstanding child
support payments that's what word on the
street is from the Block okay well
um although I I I I don't even
understand the origin of that story that
is that's not true okay this is the part
where we're going to put blur over his
face and it make his deep voice so we
don't know who we're talking to sure
thank you it's happening right now thank
you for the anonymity appreciate that so
they can't see you right now and also
it's going to be a deep voice yeah like
a um computerized yeah yeah it's like
when people go into a confession room
yeah okay well thanks for that I've
never been digitized a computerizing

didn't even want to start an
Instagram so just because I was
apprehensive to start something does
another big work just because I didn't
want to start something which is right
correct doesn't mean that I can't have
passion for it now right yeah so you
have passion for it now I do right
is wrestling you get this question a lot
asked and I know it's like a most
irritating question and you just be like
why do people ask but guess what I'm
going ask is wrestling fake that is the
first time I've heard that oh question
and that uh man I got to look inward on
that one um could you be more
specific uh cuz I watched it you know
you was my favorite wrest and I used to
remember going to school I told my
teacher Miss benon I was watching
wrestling and John Cena was one of my
most favorite wrestlers so that's fake
and I was just like it's not fake cuz
it's actually happening something fake
is not actually you know like as if like
that's a fake cake cuz it's plastic but
it's pretending to be a cake but
wrestling is asically physical Touch
where you can get F you meaning You
by
you
if that makes sense I hope that don't
get tied up but in the end physically
it's it's a physical
sport so I guess we need to we need to
settle on our definition of fake so
let's let's do that to you what what is
fake I feel like fake is something as if
it's portraying to be something else
that is not H and it's like wrestling is
a
thing okay well then by that definition
wrestling is not fake because it is what
it says it is it is sports entertainment
yeah cool thank
you what's your idea of the
hood uh it is that device on the back of
a sweatshirt that you can pull over your
head to warm your ears in the back of
