I mean, I I know you're a guy 68 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,840 who has spent many years in the wrestling industry, and I know 69 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:30,440 you've seen all the the highs and lows, the crazy stuff, you 70 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,520 know, the the amazing moments. What made you decide to pair up 71 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,080 with Guy Evans and write this book? 72 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,640 I never had any intention of writing a book. 73 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,120 I'm 57 years old and 56 and three years and three months. 74 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,640 I never had any desire and tension to write a book People 75 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,000 would ask me. I'd say Nope. 76 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,680 I stumbled upon when I was cleaning my my desk out in my 77 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:58,360 office, a folder of extremely rare formats and and and memos. 78 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,240 Stuff that probably 99% of the general public, if not more than 79 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,320 that has never seen and certainly nobody probably kept 80 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,160 it. Old WCW Saturday night formats, 81 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,080 old worldwide formats from Disney. 82 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,320 Like I said, the Last Night show, David Arquette winning the 83 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,240 world title. All all, all sorts of cool 84 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,240 stuff. From being honest, I wanted to 85 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,680 get it out there so I figured it was worth something. 86 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,680 I just had no idea how and when and why and all the all the 87 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,800 questions. So I put, I took a picture of 88 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,200 one of the formats was WCW Saturday night format from 95 or 89 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,240 96 and I put it on Twitter and people wrote back and I would 90 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,400 say what do you think it's worth? 91 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,480 And you know, how do you think I should dispose of it? 92 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320 Because the one thing that you worry about is, and you know 93 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,600 he's still worried about it is once that's kind of stuff gets 94 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,640 out there, you know, people, you know make copies of it on their 95 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,440 own and and you know and undermine you. 96 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,760 And so anyway, about an hour into this whole thing on 97 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,600 Twitter, Guy Evans sent me Adm on Twitter and I so I said all 98 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,680 right, call me tomorrow. And he called me and he said we 99 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,840 should do a scrapbook.

And then when you finally did 184 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:00,120 miss a show that was the only show that you've missed in in 185 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,680 the entire career, that's that's fascinating to me. 186 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,440 You know, hey, if you show up and you if you show up and you 187 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,440 work hard, people are going to recognize that you know and and 188 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,040 you know when they think of someone, they have an opening 189 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,080 for ring announcer and they think of who's somebody that's 190 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,720 dependable and I know who's going to work hard and and show 191 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,840 up which is a big part of the whole thing. 192 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,200 You know, hopefully they would think of somebody like me. 193 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,240 And I like to think that's why Scott called me during COVID 194 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,680 when we were going to when I became the impact ring 195 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:32,840 announcer. I figured that job in in 196 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,840 December that that's the that's the thought process behind that 197 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,040 I guess. You're a New York guy and you 198 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,240 know for me as a Boston guy there there's something about us 199 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,600 who are from the Northeast. We have a different type of edge 200 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,440 about us.

It's it's awesome. 205 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,440 What advice do you have for other folks, especially folks in 206 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,280 wrestling, who are not pro wrestlers, so it's everybody 207 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,400 else? Other than making sure that you 208 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,720 remain dependable and reliable by actually showing up to work 209 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,040 on a consistent basis, do you have any other tips or pointers 210 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,880 for folks out there who are either in the business or who 211 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,680 are breaking in who are not wrestlers? 212 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,440 Sure. Well, first of all, I'm really 213 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,080 not a New York guy. I lived in New York for six 214 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,400 years, so when I was six years old I moved to South Florida. 215 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,080 So I'm really a Florida guy, which maybe is kind of the same 216 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,040 attitude. But I did live there for six 217 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,240 years and I was born in the Bronx. 218 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,120 But as far as you know it's it's a different business than it was 219 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:43,600 back then in 1990 when I tow in the in the the door of WCW 220 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,280 through a friend I had made and and worked in on Independence. 221 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,520 Promoting independence shows by the name of Bob Roop who was a 222 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,600 wrestler and a Booker in the territory system and had gone up 223 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,560 to worked for as an agent when he was booking WCW. 224 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,520 You know they didn't just let people backstage you know you 225 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,920 didn't you didn't unless you were a wrestler who had 226 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,560 experience. Unless you were a referee who 227 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:12,360 had experience or unless your last name was the was some was 228 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,360 the Booker of the territory or a former champion. 229 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,040 You didn't go backstage. I got really lucky, a gentleman 230 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,680 named Jody Hamilton, the assassin, and we go in much more 231 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:24,440 detail in the book on this whole journey. 232 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,960 So I like to say saw something to me that was, you know, it was 233 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,200 impractical and impractical if not impossible that I got to 234 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,440 where I got in that time. I understand it's a lot easier 235 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,000 now to get your toe in that door. 236 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,520 So luckily for people in it now, you know they don't face as many 237 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,560 obstacles as you know we don't let marks in the back and you 238 00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:49,160 know that stuff like that 'cause that was a prevailing thought 239 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,960 process and you know it was months before any of the top 240 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,480 guys would even talk to me. They they weren't mean to me. 241 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,000 They just kept to themselves and I hung out with the enhancement 242 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,440 talent that I was bringing up and just tried to to to work as 243 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,200 hard as I could doing behind the scenes stuff to to to show that 244 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:15,600 I was was worth had had some value and now you know I I I 245 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,160 would just say that you know if you're going to go in just be 246 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,560 ready to do anything. You know if they ask you to pick 247 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,720 up you know a a a a thing of ice. 248 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,120 You know to put the waters in you know go grab a thing of ice 249 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,560 and you know if it costs 4 bucks which ice does now only you know 250 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,400 maybe you could ask if you could get it repaid. 251 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,320 If not you know take it on the chin the the the company will 252 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,040 remember that just don't let people take advantage of you. 253 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,720 But but you know when you're getting, when you're when you're 254 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,840 trying to get your foot in the door, you know the you got to 255 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,200 remember the people trying to get their same foot in that 256 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,840 door. So whatever you could do without 257 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,360 being taken advantage of to go be above and beyond just the job 258 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,160 that you're hired to do whether it's a referee or ring announcer 259 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,360 you know help help him with the production. 260 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,040 You know go out of your way and do it. 261 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,400 A lot of people out there that want to be in the wrestling 262 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,120 business. I was lucky back then. 263 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:10,800 I really was rare rare situation where I got extremely lucky and 264 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,280 there was really not a lot of other people out there, but now 265 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,960 there is. So you really have to show 266 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,040 yourself different and more valuable than anybody else that 267 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,760 wants that position. You know, I'm a guy that gets 268 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,480 paid to to run my mouth for a living as well. 269 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,720 So I I always tip my hat and I have a tremendous amount of 270 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,840 respect for others who are doing it different ways and certainly 271 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,440 you to to last in wrestling for over 30 years and really you 272 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,120 know your voice is your money maker. 273 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,640 That's a big deal. That's a really big deal. 274 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,960 Do you have any tips on how to keep your your vocal cords and 275 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,720 your your voice in general strong and conditioned to be 276 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,920 able to do something like you did on such a high level, 277 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,600 especially on on live television for so long. 278 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,240 Any advice for for the vocal cords I don't. 279 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,200 Know. Maybe vodka. 280 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,040 I'm kidding. No, I I don't know. 281 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,200 I would you know, a lot of like like Matthew Ray Wall went 282 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,200 before he goes, does, you know goes out to do the color 283 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,200 commentary for TNA Impact. He does like, like, you know, 284 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,840 you know, different things with his voice, different exercises. 285 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,200 I I never really did any of that. 286 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,520 And when I I actually told him that he was like you never did 287 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,640 any of that for all these years. And I'm like, no, I just went 288 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,040 out and talked. So I really, you know, you know, 289 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,120 I don't really have any you know, there was there used. 290 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,720 I remember when we were on the road 25 days a month, every once 291 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,000 in a while I'd get, I'd lose my voice a little bit and I forget 292 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,200 what it was. But it was like something you 293 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,320 put on your tongue, kind of dripped on your tongue. 294 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,480 And Mike Tenay was the one who smart me up to it, but I haven't 295 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,720 done that since the end of WCW, probably since 1999 or 2000. 296 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,960 So, but yeah, but I I, you know, every different way of doing 297 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,280 things. I mean, I'm not saying that you 298 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,560 shouldn't that that you shouldn't, you know, do 299 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,880 exercises and stuff. Probably more people do that 300 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,319 than don't. I just, for whatever reason, I I 301 00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:18,599 just never did. I don't know. 302 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,160 I wonder if the stuff you're talking about that you dripped 303 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,680 on your tongue, do you think it's that that liquid oregano, 304 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,960 Did it? Did it kind of give you a little 305 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,839 tingle, little burn when you when you swallowed it? 306 00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:31,720 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it did. Oregano that's that liquid 307 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,280 oregano stuff that you can get at GNC and and you know 308 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,960 different type of health food stores and certainly it it will 309 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,360 wake your your your throat up when it's tired. 310 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:44,400 So that's that's actually pretty you you managed to slip one in 311 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,040 there Dave without even realizing it. 312 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,120 Yeah, I'm good like that, man. I I could pull one out of my ass 313 00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:53,560 even when I don't know what I'm talking about. 314 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,640 And and it still makes sense. That's the best part, you know. 315 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,800 This is why you got to grab a copy of Sitting Ringside by Dave 316 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,480 Penzer and also our our great friend Guy Evans. 317 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,480 Now remember folks, Guy Evans is the guy who wrote the WCW Nitro 318 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,240 book, Literally nobody and and and Eric Bischoff has made it 319 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:20,160 clear himself, nobody has been able to compile the information 320 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,520 and keep it all in one place the way that Guy Evans was able to 321 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,640 do. So the fact that now he's 322 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,080 transitioned, he did a book with Bischoff and now he says, you 323 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,840 know what, Dave Penzer is my next guy. 324 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,600 We got to do something. Let's find out about what 325 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,960 happened back then from the perspective of somebody who 326 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,080 wasn't a wrestler, who wasn't an executive, still a performer, 327 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,760 still a very important piece of the puzzle and most importantly, 328 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,200 he was there the whole time. So for a guy like like David 329 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,880 Penzer to be able to gather his information and he and Guy Evans 330 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,400 put this piece of work out, you got to grab a copy of Sitting 331 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,840 Ringside by Dave Penzer and Guy Evans. 332 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,880 Folks, this is, this is just awesome, especially if you care 333 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,800 about the history of pro wrestling for sure. 334 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:10,720 Dave, real quick, what are your thoughts on the current state of 335 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,600 wrestling?

You know now there's a lot of 365 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,080 places to go. So you know DVR most of the 366 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,240 shows and Fast forward Drew unless it's something you know 367 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,240 like you know building towards WrestleMania. 368 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,360 You know I turned on the beginning or the end of some of 369 00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:12,320 those shows live. But usually DVR, DVR, AWTNA, I I 370 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,600 don't even NWAI think you can get now on The CW app. 371 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,400 But I I used to watch it when it first came out when they did it 372 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,760 in the the old old school style like the like Georgia 373 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,600 Championship Wrestling used to with a a studio audience. 374 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,560 Pretty much what they still do and and yet find what you like 375 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,240 and and support everything you don't. 376 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,000 You know just 'cause you don't like something doesn't mean that 377 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,960 it sucks. The people that you might like 378 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,160 in one company might go to a company that you love, you know, 379 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,240 so you you need them in one company. 380 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,440 Doesn't mean you can't hate it. You can't like them in the other 381 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,960 company and vice versa. You know, I can guarantee you 382 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,440 that none of the talent, you know, while they're competitive 383 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,840 about wanting to stand out and and do well from that point 384 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,320 standpoint, I could get that one person out there that's going to 385 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,040 say I hope this company goes out of business. 386 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,920 Trust me, I live that and we this business live that and it 387 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,400 took a long time to recover. There's a reason the XWF never 388 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,200 got on the air with all the stars we had. 389 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,840 There's and the backing of Hulk Hogan and people like that. 390 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:17,920 There's a reason that TNA started out as a pay per, 391 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,640 weekly, pay-per-view only and then had to pay to get on the 392 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,160 air before they were able to get, you know reimbursed and and 393 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,000 and paid to be able to to sell their programming. 394 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,120 So. So we've done that in there, 395 00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:32,360 done that. We see how it worked out. 396 00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,920 It took 20, you know, 1520 years to to to for it to really come 397 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,960 full circle and here we are. So I would just urge that, you 398 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:44,400 know, hey, like what you like, but you know, cheer for 399 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,080 everyone.

So, so you're calling the punks 756 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,960 out out there? Who are the punks that that Aman 757 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,560 Deshaun is referring to? As anybody that steps up, man. 758 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,920 OK, all right. He means business, first of all, 759 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,320 man. Talk to me about the fact that 760 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,960 you are able to accomplish the great feat, the World 761 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,920 Championship itself. How does it feel to be the face 762 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,200 of Dog Pound Championship Wrestling? 763 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:50,040 It's a great feeling, of course. Anytime you can be the face of a 764 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:56,080 company, you know, with all the work that Iman has done, I feel 765 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,840 like I'm, I'm where I'm supposed to be. 766 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,400 How long do I have one? I have two titles so I'm very 767 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,800 comfortable and I'm very hungry to eat the rest of the 768 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,240 competition up. It's interesting because you 769 00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:11,320 haven't been wrestling that long and yet you already have tasted 770 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,080 gold twice. That's crazy. 771 00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:17,520 Are you concerned that now the the the wagons are circling, so 772 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,440 to speak, the buzzards are coming out and they're going to 773 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,080 want to take a piece of you? No, not at all. 774 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,640 I have no concerns. I mean, this is what happens. 775 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,360 You're meant to get to the top of the mountain and make sure 776 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,400 you stay there. I'm where I'm where I want to 777 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,320 be, where I'm supposed to be. Now there are a lot of fans out 778 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,840 there, especially the ladies. From what I hear, Little Birdie 779 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:44,720 told me that you are a very well received and a very popular 780 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,480 competitor out there. How do you balance it? 781 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,960 How do you balance staying focused on getting the job done 782 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,600 in the ring when you have all of the ladies out there screaming 783 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,080 your name? Aman Deshaun, Duke. 784 00:44:57,240 --> 00:45:03,600 Ladies love Iman Deshaun and men fear Iman Deshaun. 785 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,360 Oh my goodness. OK, that sounds like AT shirt to 786 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,600 me. Goodness gracious, Rodney, back 787 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,320 in jazz. What is going on with your 788 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,600 champion over here? He's dropping gems this week. 789 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,160 Oh my goodness. Look, looking ahead because we 790 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,400 know that, you know, dog Pound is just continuing to grow. 791 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:26,200 Great promotion, great marketing online and what have you. 792 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,840 How long do you do you think you can hold on to these titles 793 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,120 because it's tough being a double champion now? 794 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,600 How long do you think Amanda Shawn is going to stay on top of 795 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,360 the mountain over there? As long as I want to. 796 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,760 That of course seems like the mountains only getting bigger, 797 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,320 which really means I just need more gold as far as that's it. 798 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,480 Does Amanda Shawn have any allies out there or are you are 799 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,520 you rolling solo? That's a ridiculous question. 800 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,200 Iman Deshawn is a double champion. 801 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,560 Does it look like I have allies? Do you think I needed help to 802 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,720 win both of these titles? No. 803 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,000 OK, so when Amanda Shawn is not out there defending the 804 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,080 championship, when Amanda Shawn is not out there making the 805 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,320 ladies go wild, what else is it? Is the champ up to? 806 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:20,040 I mean is, is there anything else other than pro wrestling in 807 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,720 your life? Is it when I'm not in the ring 808 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,920 beating somebody up? I'm training to beat somebody 809 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:25,760 up? It's that simple. 810 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,960 What you see is what you get. Yeah, well, certainly. 811 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,880 I mean, you, you definitely have put the work in, in the gym, you 812 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,760 know, in top shape right there. I'm. 813 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,720 I'm scared of you, brother. I don't want any problems there, 814 00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:38,600 for sure. Talk to me about the diet, 815 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,400 though. Because if if I want to be a 816 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:44,160 double champion someday, OK, If the Duke wants to be like Amman, 817 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,520 Desean, what does the Duke need to eat? 818 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,880 I know I I can't grow the hair like Amanda Shaw. 819 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,200 You know that that ship has already sailed. 820 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,720 But what can I eat to look like? Amanda, Shawn. 821 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,600 Well, First off, Duke, hate to break it to you. 822 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:05,400 There is only one Iman Deshaun, so the ship is sailed on that 823 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:10,240 one too. But if you want to try, keep it 824 00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:14,600 real simple. Greens, chicken, rice, a lot of 825 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,560 water. OK, I write that down folks. 826 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,440 Greens, chicken, rice, a lot of water just in time for for 827 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,280 Easter Sunday coming up.
