What? >> What a career. >> It was a It wasn't it like the final match was a little bit E controversial. Yeah. Well, I think it was only controversial in that for the first time in like over two decades he finally lost by submission. He gave up. >> Yeah, he lost. Never give up guy gave up. Yeah. But you think he was told to? >> [laughter] >> it's kind of I think what I have seen on

0:51 the internet, not my own idea, but I believe it's kind of a metaphor for the fact that he is in fact quitting wrestling. Mm. And so it's it's kind of like how he's quitting on his own terms. So he's like, yes, I am giving up in the ring because I'm giving up wrestling. I thought that was a good explanation. I mean, that makes sense. It's not like you're just going to be undefeated and then walk away and then it's like WWE just gets to lose both your superstar wrestler and also the integrity of like, oh, the greatest is gone. Now we just have a bunch of losers. >> So John Cena was totally undefeated? No, no, no, no. It's that he he quit in the ring. So he submitted. He tapped out. >> lost before. He's lost a bunch of times, yeah. He lost that match like and that wasn't his only match he lost. Right. Who did he lose to? Some new stars? >> Some guy that I don't know.

1:41 Are there any more stars like >> Gunther. Gunther. No, there's what Roman Reigns is a big one right >> Roman Reigns is a big one. >> He's He's also kind of doing the Hollywood crossover thing. He's getting into some movie stuff. >> He's going to be in the next Street Fighter. Mhm. >> Wow. >> Exactly. Um I think the other big star in there >> Isn't the Undertaker still going hard? No. He quit. I thought he died. He's going hard on storytelling on podcasts. >> Yeah, he's great on podcasts. >> great, yeah. He's a great guest. >> It's crazy to hear him talk because I knew him just only as the Undertaker as a kid. >> talk like this? Like the wrestler talk? No, he talks like a normal dude. He He just has like an accent. And but hearing his voice and knowing his name's Mark Calaway is just crazy to me. >> He's really good at telling stories. >> He is. He's good at everything I think. That guy is just one of those people. >> Good job. What? You Are you sad Goldust didn't win? Goldust was great. Goldust used to hump

2:32 guys, dude. Yeah. >> Goldust was great. Did you watch WWE or WWF depending on the era? No, but I know John Cena and I I've seen like clips of him on Tik Tok that he's like walking bad because his back hurts. >> Oh. >> So I I appreciate that people love him and respect him and he he did his last >> to be pretty wrecked, man. Dude, over 20 years in that ring? I never watched a lot of Cena stuff or I don't really know about much about his character other than that he made like one of the hardest things to do which is the crossover in the Hollywood and like now he's actually killing it. And he basically like he went from a movie career that was toast to like fully resurrected now and like he's one of the top billed stars. That's pretty sick. I didn't know his movie career was toast. Well, yeah, he was starring in like these movies that were like almost direct-to-video style

3:24 stuff. And his agent And this all came out recently during his podcast tour. His agent said like he's like John Cena's like joked to his agent. He's like, we're not doing movies anymore, are we? He's like, nope, but we'll find another way basically. Oh. >> And Peacemaker was big for him. Massive. Big for him because like first it was the movie. He he went into the Suicide Squad movie. His character was just like really charismatic and you just enjoyed it so they did the spin-off TV show and that was good. It was actually dope. And that's because James Gunn said he had such a great time working with John Cena that he wanted to work with him a lot more. >> great. And James Gunn's wife's in that show so he had to make sure it was solid. And James Gunn's wife is hot. And she's ████ fine. >> Wait, who is she? She's what's her name on the show. I I watched one season of it. I don't remember the names. I don't remember the names either, but Jennifer Holland.

4:15 >> Jennifer Holland. >> Oh, Jennifer Holland? I didn't know they're together. Dude, there's a scene in like one of the first episodes where that chick's like getting out of bed real quick and he's just like, Jesus ████ god. >> sucked off John Cena in the movie, huh? Didn't he? Oh, James Gunn. Weren't they trying to cancel his ass for a minute during COVID? Oh, yeah. >> Cuz he had like a old tweet. >> He had a lot of like old weird tweets, yeah. Who the ████ doesn't have old weird tweets? He was just doing like jokes. >> But his bits were like really They're actually really funny. They're really funny because they're so obviously satire. Like no no right-minded person would ever say that ████ So it's funny. Would. Yeah, Cena. I mean, you know, he he looks like Rock 2.0 in a in a certain way as well. You like really just bringing charisma to the game. >> Like on Fast and Furious? Yeah, becoming a superstar, going into the transition

5:06 into like Hollywood stuff and you know, he'll probably eventually like the Rock try to do serious movies later again after a while. Uh when maybe you should just stick to like the People's Champ entertainment and like that's where you're >> It's like what happened to Jim Carrey to me, dude. Like I remember like loving Jim Carrey growing up and then all of a sudden he starts doing serious movies and I was like, what the ████ is going on? Except Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless >> I was too young. I was too young. I don't know. What's What's another serious movie he did that was whack? Uh I remember Cable Guy. Cable Guy was whack. Oh. I liked Cable Guy. I didn't get it. I was just too young. >> That's considered a serious movie? No. It's like a dark It was darker, yeah. But I was used to like Jim Carrey being a whack job in funny stuff. It was like slapstick what do you call it? Like mystery or or I don't know. It was more It was like yeah, hit him session movie basically. Mhm. He's still He's still goated

5:57 though. >> It's good now because I'm older to understand it now, but I didn't understand it as a kid. Sunshine is still one of my favorite movie. >> Eternal Sunshine is amazing, yeah. It's really good. >> Yeah. Very good. >> It's kind of like how Adam Sandler did like funny movie and I was like, I ████ hate you now. That's funny. I didn't hate that movie. Adam Sandler's serious movies are also really good. Dude, the recent one was good. The gambler one was good. >> Uncut Gems? Uncut Gems is good. The basketball one? Basketball one was good. >> Oh, yeah. I always forget the name cuz it's it's a one word. >> Starts like a with a H or some ████ No. I don't know. Hasidic ball? Hasidic ball. >> Hasidic ball. But I'm more mature now to understand that >> basketball team. When I was 8 years old with loving Jim Carrey, I didn't know what the hell I was looking at with Cable Guy. Hustle. Yeah, it's Hustle. Hustle, okay. Yeah, it was good. I think the Well, the

6:47 first kind of serious thing I saw was um Truman Show. And I ████ love that thing. >> Truman Show is ████ great. >> Great. Yeah, but it was his like not really slapsticky mainstream one. Mhm. But he went weird because he started to see Hollywood the way it was and he wanted to expose it. >> Yeah, when he's all you know, when he's ████ Yeah. >> Well, I also remember he did this movie called The Number 13 and it was absolute garbage. What was that? It was like where a guy's obsessed with the number 13. He like destroys his life over it. That sounds like really weird. >> Wasn't I Love You Phillip Morris? Was that Phillip Morris movie? >> You Phillip Morris was Aaron Eckhart, right? Yeah, that's Jim Carrey wasn't that, right? Am I remembering it wrong? >> Maybe. The Phillip Morris movie? I thought that was Aaron Eckhart's breakout movie. Man on the Moon? Man on the Moon's great.

7:38 The Oh, that's the >> Yeah, Jim Carrey starred in the film I Love You Phillip Morris. Where he played con artist Steven Jay Russell. Sweet. Yeah, but John Cena like that It's dope because when I think of the Rock who is like our John Cena, right? I think that's comparable, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hulk Hogan's my John Cena. Yeah, that's true. Me, too. That's the previous generation, but like the Rock for my generation was like everything. Like you would we would ████ make kids bleed trying to do the People's Elbow and ████ like that. So like I could only imagine, you know, like what it is for a kid who's like super into WWE today watching John Cena go out and like retire. It's probably like the sickest and biggest thing of this era. >> It's got to be That's got to be massive for them, yeah. Cuz even when Hulk Hogan retired, too, that was crazy. That was a

8:28 crazy time. >> Yeah. But in wrestling, does retire literally mean like you'll never even do a surprise >> Well, for Hogan it didn't. Cuz he came back like 17 times. Well, the Rock came back, too, no? And then he retired, so He just wrestled last year. Yeah, he he came back. But I mean, that's what makes it even better though, right? Like you got to you got to announce your retirement and you're clearly focusing on this ████ It's not your like your full-time. But dude, wrestling >> Well, you have to love it. Like for Cena to come back after all this success and do another run was like pretty cool. Yeah, that is really >> Cuz he obviously loves it. Yeah. And he could jack his body off for freaking movies this guy do. Right. Did I say jack off? I meant jack up. >> Jack off jack off his body off. >> Jack his body off. And I was like, what does that mean? >> [laughter] >> But it sounds funny so I'm going to roll with it. Which one Was it the Rock that had to

9:19 eat ████ potatoes all day? What did Is that in a movie? No. They were so poor while they were traveling like a carny. Probably Rock, yeah. about ████ eating potatoes and I was like, okay, a bag of potatoes is cheap, but I'm like, dude, you could warm that ████ up. They don't got to be raw. >> Raw potatoes. >> Cena talked about how he did like a pizza challenge or whatever a bunch of times in a row because he was hungry. Oh, yeah. You hear about that? >> a competitor competitive Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then finally the pizza shop owner was like, come on, dude. Like I'll just give you a little bit of pizza. Like you're not going to kill my challenge every day. Oh, damn. It's good play. It's good hustle. Oh, absolutely. I do like that most professional wrestlers really do come from nothing, dude. >> Mhm. I respect that a lot. A lot of them. Cuz you don't make money for a

10:09 long ass time. >> Yeah, and you put it all on the line. Hell yeah, dude. And by the time you get there, most of them are already ████ up physically from all the amateur ████ that they did. >> Like it's crazy when you compare like like in a career in dance. Like yeah, you do a lot of like free like bottom of the barrel ████ in the beginning. But it's still kind of fun. But when you look at the matches that they did in the beginning, it's like eight people in the crowd. Like you're breaking your body up for that. Like >> Dude, when I think about you in dance, it's a little different cuz you used to jump on your own head. >> But that's a that's a what is it called? It's an illusion. I'm not really >> You do amateur wrestling for in dance. >> Yeah. Yeah, but that's not Cuz you had so much anime hair it would it would help it. >> Not really. Like the gravity's like different. Like if you're actually getting your body slammed by another dude. There's nothing you can do to compensate for the you know. You you might be able to disperse a

10:59 little bit, but you're >> I think you're tough. Accept it. I think you're tough, okay? >> [laughter] >> And not like me. Not like Anthony. He's soft like a little flower. What kind of flower? A little dainty ████ >> World's best dancer gets to stand up the whole time. I do floor work sometimes. >> [laughter] >> Oh yeah, that's right. >> I didn't see that in all the 30 minutes of video we had to watch it at Ryan's party. He was sitting down with a little Chinese hat. Remember? He gets to freaking sit. >> That's not floor work. It's on the floor and I'm working. Just sitting there. We had to watch what was it? 45 minutes? >> 45 minutes of Kinjaz vids. >> And he he comes in the room and he's like, "Fired up. Fired up. Let's get the Kinjaz videos going." And we weren't even halfway through the >> [laughter] >> playlist. Yeah. I was like, "The NBA cup's on, dude." He's like, "Fired up, dude. Get the Kinjaz on there." >> [laughter] >> So we had to watch that. He's like, "Let's get this party going." He's like, "We need more energy in here." >> [laughter] >> All right, you guys officially just brought this out in the public, huh?

11:49 It's Look, I already brought it to the public. I put it on Instagram. >> But it's his first post in months. >> [laughter] >> That's true. I was like, "This will never goes on Instagram."
