you sick no i just i just take him to uh you know fight off shit you know you
do just well because
i can't get to sleep till two in the morning with all the depressing thoughts
and everything
because i'm not drinking right now you know so that's usually how i handle
being on the road
you know yeah you know not being able to go home my family's not there what i
do jimmy is i go out
and i get i get just right to the point of passing out so i could walk in my
apartment not realize
there's no one else there and just face plant into the bed then wake up the
next day and be like oh
god why did i do that yeah but you try to just you try to skip those feelings
why did i stop just
because uh um i i'm gonna shoot a special i know in the next few months and i
don't want to be that
fucking guy who tries to dry out in 10 days all right and then you have that
that's even a worse
look you're better to just keep boozing at that point so you're like yeah he's
living the life
as opposed to having this weird sort of beginning of rehab um yeah you know i
don't know i've just
been reading up more on health stuff i got a kid now so i kind of have to i i
gotta every once in a
while i just sort of tap out for a good you know one month to six months to a
year or something like
that so uh i was watching this great thing last night what kind of drinker are
you i was watching
this english guy and you know the way they drink is you know they have and they
you know the doctors
have the same thing the amount you're supposed to drink in a week and he's like
doing like he has
the app and shit like that he's like all right i drink twice this in a night
you know and um just
the way he was like he had that same thing that i have where it's like i'm not
an alcoholic but if
you put it on paper it's just like well then what are you yeah you're not you're
not a you're not a
fucking how many out of 20 did you answer yes to because they have that whole
there's a test you
could take are you an alcoholic 20 questions so you're taking that test no but
it's also like i just
when i stop it sucks for three days and after four days it's like i could
really just never do this
again right so i don't like wake up with shakes like i need it man yeah you
know start lashing out at
people you're not missing close the door i'm not like i'm not like that fucking
guy uh you're not
missing out on stuff no but i definitely got to a point where i wasn't able to
just have one socially
like right just like all right we're doing this would you see the espn you see
the 30 for 30 rick
flair movie they did yeah i did it was amazing it was amazing i felt it should
have been at least
six hours long but i like that his was still like two hours long or something
it was but they started
going through his drinking stories and it was clearly alcoholism to the point
that he was in the
hospital like a year ago and they're like you you have to stop drinking but
there was no sort of
violins or anything it was just funny that he went to the doctor and he was
like yeah i drink 15
drinks a day but does that him lying though and just overstating what he does
because he's a
flair i mean there's many witnesses to all of his activities yeah oh yeah he's
like 15 drinks a
day and the doctor's like how often he's like well every day for the last 30
years and it's just it just
my favorite favorite thing just being a comedian because he he's the best guy
ever to do the
interviews like it's not even close i mean the rock was amazing but like he he's
he's the best ever
and someone said did you have writers did you did you did you work at above and
he goes he just laughed
he goes right as he goes he goes i used to come up with half of that shit on
the car ride over from
the airport it's just like you know that's like high level performance where
you you just come up i'm
going to talk about that and you just go out there and you could feel the crowd
yeah and adjust to
their uh energy and all that he's a lunatic there's nothing better than a shit
promo like bad wrestling
are incredible to watch i would have loved though to have been like driving
past rick flair and just
see him kind of half mumbling his promos to himself as he was trying to figure
them out just kind of half
getting into rick flair mode as he's driving like well the thing about that guy
is when when you
listen to him like he loved being it oh my god but and and then he loved the
fans being interested in him
he loves being rick flair he loves doing that and uh i actually went to the uh
the premiere of that
30 for 30 i was i had an acting gig in atlanta and uh um the guy who directed
it and i got to go to it
doing the stories he was telling like and he's just so open they go uh you know
how uh how faithful
were you for how long were you faithful to your first wife and he goes oh he
goes like three days
yeah and she was there and he was just going like uh you know i was he was just
so honest he was home
with his wife and kid he goes i was just bored i was bored like the social
pressure to be like you
know and then i got a whole new perspective i understood he could just sit
there and be like
now i was bored right i had the hallmark life and i was bored and it was just
like he was meant to be
out there in front of people and for some reason i don't know i guess it's look
i guess when you
hurt other people that's a bad thing but i mean it's looked down on that no he's
a fucking rockstar
he wasn't worried about missing birthdays and doing all this other stuff he's
like there's so much fun
out here i don't know why you would want me to be at home at this kid's
birthday party even if it is my
kid at what point i don't think he's that bad but it definitely the whole monogamy
thing was not his
thing at what point is the ex-wife okay with that like just to go out there
with him and go yeah he
fucked other people like yeah it's whatever it's cute i think when the nine
millionth person just goes
like dude you married rick flair like what what did you think was gonna happen
where could this have
gone he had platinum blonde hair down to his shoulders walking around with hooker
boots and
tights on i mean what did you think this guy was gonna do yeah they go to the
farmer's market
they showed him like cutting these promos and he would go like in front of the
audience and he
would announce his he'd point to girls in the audience and on television
announce his hotel and
the hotel room and his wife would be like rick why are you doing that and he's
like honey it's all
the character and she's like yeah but that's your actual hotel room like you
didn't have to
actually put the hotel room out there would they ever show up yeah yeah they
would the invite was
real let's not put him on blast it's in the doc oh i mean you know it's all in
the 30 for 30 so
he's old now right was he fucking 65 70 years old yeah yeah i think he's in his
70s i'm sure he doesn't
care no he doesn't care he loves he loves these stories yeah old guys don't
care anymore no no he's
69 i mean he's these are his uh his medals of honor what is there anything
wrong with him or is
he kind of holding up right he's okay now i mean he was he was bad for a little
bit he was in the
hospital for what i can't remember if his heart gave out but they looked they
thought he was going
to die for a while right and but now he's he's back to just just like his
wrestling match you thought
he was going to lose and all of a sudden he came back it's all performance with
this guy he kicked
out at two and now he stays backstage at the shows again like he's just he's
back to being rick flair
i don't think he drinks as much it's the internet is what you know because he
you know back when i was
growing up there was territory so i was in the wwf territory and he never
really wrestled for vince
until later in his career uh so i missed all of that so i've you know when i
discovered him on youtube
and just was one of the great youtube rabbit holes ever went down like i think
i woke my wife up i was
crying just crying laughing that first time i saw that my shoes cost more than
your house i mean and the
guy he was talking to you could just tell it was true and it's just such a
funny he's picking up his
shoe he's got it in his hand and he's shaking it at him my shoes cost more than
your house i just
sit there and like just brag of the privilege that you were born i was born
with a golden spoon in my
mouth just saying i never had to work anything and then just saying like voss
they know voss goes
it's donna karen and he pulls out the label i mean he he has elements of rick flair
he's shameless
with his have you seen his rings oh voss's hand rings yeah i i just love have
you seen them i just
love how rich is one of those guys no matter how classy you dress him he still
looks like a dirtbag
that's why i love him he's because he's ugly inside you got it you think that's
what it is yeah
yeah his hand those are voss's i think there might be a little bit of photoshop
there's no way you
can do that and you have to play piano if you're going to be wearing those what
is he fucking fats domino
