Hakeem lived in my neighborhood when I was growing up.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I'm so happy. Man, when you have a little human and they start to just do everything that you do, that you like that you do, oh, it's beautiful. Okay. I have known this man for 12 years now.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Starting 12 years ago, he stomps around the house like a freaking T-Rex. It's a T-Rex, though. It's like, doom, doom. Things are shaking this glass. Let him know you're coming, baby. He's just walking through the house like that all day, every day. Let him know. Big dog in the house. You're going to have a problem or something with the way that you're doing this. You're going to have problems.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I don't know what the long-term, you know, Wearing terrors from that, but it's insane.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We had a nanny one time, this older lady, and she was just like, he was walking around one day, and she said, I ain't never heard nobody walking like that before.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And I said, yeah, that's crazy, right? Like, it's been going on forever. Finally, Libby has noticed it, and she hates it. So we'll be in her room, and we just hear a boom, boom, boom. And she's like... stomping again. And then he comes in the room and she goes, why are you stomping again? You gotta stop stomping.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Well, she's been saying it for about a week now.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
She's stomping, man. She's picked that up on her own. I never said anything to her about it because my hope was that she didn't hear it. Because he stomps around while she's asleep. And I'm afraid he's going to wake her up. And then another thing that you did.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's the opening the door. Okay. If you close the door, this drives me crazy. And this is where I turn into Baby Billy on Righteous Gemstones, where he has a problem with the nanny. I haven't watched the whole season, so I don't know how aligned I am with Baby Billy in the nanny situation, but I get mad about stuff with nannies a lot.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And we had a nanny that couldn't get the baby, when she was a baby, when she was an infant, couldn't get her to go to sleep. So she'd be in the room and she'd be and you know, all the things and everybody's quiet as a mouse, you know? And then she'd finally put the baby down and then she'd come out the room, slam the door.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And then she'd be like, she was British, so she'd be like, I don't know why I can't get the baby to sleep. And I'd be like, cause you're slamming the door. If I'm sleeping and you slam the door, I'm gonna wake up too. Come on woman. Just close, just turn the knob, slowly close the door.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
The four times the other night that you went in that room because I was feeling under the weather, so appreciate you.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
When they call me in, he slammed the door every time he left. And then she woke up again. I'm like, stop slamming the door.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
There was a perfect one I saw the episode the other night where he said, where's the nanny? And his wife said, oh, she's changing. And he said, changing? We're not paying her to do fashion shows. I feel like sometimes I can't find our nanny. And I'm like, where is she? And then she comes up and, you know, she got a whole like get up on like she's going to Coachella. And I'm like...
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
What are you doing? Who's this outfit for? You ever been to Coachella? You know what I'm saying?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes

What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Early. Early stage was my brother was very, very into WWE. Yeah. Who was his fave? I think, I want to say either Macho Man or Ultimate Warrior.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I tried to slide through that one. It didn't work.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And something happened. There was some pay-per-view that we watched, and then my brother got mad and started crying and throwing stuff, and then it got banned.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So then we didn't get back into wrestling again until I got into wrestling. And then my dad became a super fan, and now my dad is a little bit of a situation.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, he was pretty upset about it. And then my family was like, that's it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Where'd you guys throw the briefcase in?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Are we allowed to talk about wrestlers?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
One of my favorite moments ever was getting to play Jay Lethal's faux Elizabeth.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
In a match when he was, what is he called?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And his name was Akeem, the African Dream.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You know who else was at the original All In?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, because we didn't believe that it was actually John Mayer until I was walking around the front and I was like...
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You know who, okay, you know who for a while was on that aging just beautifully, and I haven't seen them in a really long time?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No. How old is he? I don't know how old he is. I'm not saying that Roman doesn't look nice.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Where I was going was, well let's say this, Roman's Vanity Fair spread, very tasteful. I enjoyed that side of Roman.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
How's he doing? Because he was looking real nice.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You're pop culture. I don't be paying attention to nothing until he smacks me in the face.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I heard Ricky Martin is looking really nice.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Can I say that Nick Aldis hit me with the cleanest elbow in history.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Very concerned about it. And it was probably...
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No, believe it all for me. Let the darkness in. It just enhances my beauty, I think. I'm like the wicked stepmother.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Another fun fact about that show, Stephen Amell's wife ordered a replica from Sandra of my outfit from that night. For what, I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You know what I'm saying? Because it was a very scantily clad. But I remember Steven trying to buy that. For which I said, Steven, I'm black. Cass is white.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And he was like, I don't know. So I was like, let's just hook you up with Sandra. You get your own maid.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We have had animals, we've had a soccer team, we've really had, you can... So this is, is this like my team that I'm taking with me to the zombie apocalypse?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Oh, war games, okay. That's a little easier.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Because she don't beat up anybody that says anything about me or even looks at me funny.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Baby Billy. Baby Billy's on my team. He's got an angle for everything.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
She's now, what is she? She's a political figure in Belize now. So it has gone from figure skating royalty to Belize royalty now.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Who else would be on my team? I don't know if this is going to work.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That boy gets everything done. Hey, I need a helicopter to take me to a rainforest. Drop me in the center. I need a photo shoot there with this photographer and this makeup artist and that. Then I need that same helicopter to pick me up. I need a ladder to drop down for me to come back up. That helicopter needs to take me to space next.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I heard about it. I don't know what's going on with all that.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
My manager. Wait, I feel like I got one more.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Give me Morgan Freeman. He's just my favorite actor. He's got a great voice.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I didn't think I could take you. You said you're with Wheatley.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I wasn't in the Wheatley dream team. Why has everything got to be about you?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I don't want to be in it. I'm not asking for a position.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I know what that feels like. I was in a Rumble style match before where time got cut pieces, didn't happen, and then I came to the back and
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
If it's all men and it's all family men, you might as well take Kellen.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That's okay. Kevin understands. He gets skipped on all the film stuff. Everything we've ever filmed. Poor Kevin. Nicest guy ever.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Can I do this again, but with wrestlers that I would actually want to be on the team?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Okay. I would take myself. This is for me to do as little work as possible. So me, Becky Lynch.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Rhea Ripley, again, crazy. Piper Niven, because if you ever take a Vader bomb from that girl, you're not getting up.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Whatever he said at the Hall of Fame two years ago.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I don't think anything about him. I see it all the time and just, it's, it's whatever. Like some people think it's funny. That's fine. It ain't hurting.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No, it's just silly. Like people just being silly.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Behind my back to our manager to get whatever he wants.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I don't think they know about it, to be honest.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I don't think they think anything of it. I don't think they care. It's like you choose what you have time to care about. That's not on my list.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Oh, I thought you were going for a real tag team.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That man, if you inserted him in pro wrestling, he'd succeed like nobody's business. Yeah? Shady. Why are you going so hard? The term that we use is carny. Yeah. But he's good at it. He's good at it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah. Like, we don't do the Mimi, like, candy stuff. That's not okay. Okay, so Mimi, her what she wants to get, and this Mimi is as Mama Rhodes.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I am not Mama Rhodes, by the way, friends. Mama Rhodes is Mimi. I'm Brandi Rhodes. I'm still able to be that. Please, don't make me Mama Rhodes.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Because when she said something in the media the other day, like a while ago, before WrestleMania.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It was a whole thing. She cried about it, actually. So that's why you shouldn't do that. OK, anyway.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
But Mimi, Mama Rhodes Mimi, she thinks she can skate on the rules of our parenting strategies. If you do that, the rule is the kid can't get sick. At Libby's birthday, her and the aunts and everybody gave her so much cotton candy, she ended up puking that night. So there's a reason that I don't want candy thrown in my child's mouth the moment you walk in.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
But Mimi, still to this day, I mean, it's been, what, kids almost four. It's been four years of me fighting Mimi. We got into the box at WrestleMania. Immediately, Mimi grabbed Libby by the hand, took her down to the front of the box. I see her getting something out of her pocket, M&Ms. Instantly, I was like, hey, hey, hey. No, no. Come back. No, Eminem. You got to eat.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You or me? When it comes to qualities like telling fibs.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
There are the Libby lies. But you can get to the root of a Libby lie really quick. I just tell her something that I learned from one of my Instagram parenting people. I can't think of anybody's name right now. It's quite all right.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I got to look good because I'm losing my mind. What's going to happen?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
She... Well, it's a little bit of a lot. But... She is very sensitive like you. She fake cries. Fake cry?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Well, I don't know if you fake cry. I think you real cry. But her emotions, they swim.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And they just fester and peak very quickly. And I don't understand that stuff because it's just not the way that I am. It's like we've hit a level 10 hurricane for tears to start dropping over here. So like for them, it's like, you know, two, they're welling up. And I'm like, oh, shoot, man, I got to.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We're in like North Georgia and like a varnish farmish area. And she was just kind of reaching her peak.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Pretty great. I was trying to get a picture with her. So we're standing next to, like, some, you know, like, picture of a pig or whatever. And, you know, I'm trying to get her excited about the picture. I'm like, what are we going to do? Are we going to do a peace sign? Are we going to put our hands on our hip? And I'm, like, really trying here to mom.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
This fly hits her right in the face, which I didn't see that, but the footage reveals that later. She gets hit right in the face by the fly, and she goes... And then I go like, let's do this. And then she goes, we're going to do what I'm doing. And then I look at the camera like an idiot and then it stops. But I was like, Jesus, kid, relax.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Everything about that. This is what we say though, like, right? Sorry to interrupt. The moment that I saw him, The first word out of my mouth was thank you.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Well, she was starting to act a little fussy.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It had been long and she didn't know what was happening.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, so she started fussing a little bit and people were trying to say hi to her.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And she welcomed him in for a hug, full smile.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It was like what it took me from like 18 to 25 to garner. She has it all.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Dude, I've never worn it before. It's like too long.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I've got a great story here. All right. I saw all these weird things happen in my life. I love doing stuff like this because this is the only time people get to hear all this bullshit that happens. So we go to Disney every 12 seconds. If you're on social media and people are like, do you live there? Pretty much. I'm there all the time. Give me two free days for any reason and I'm there. I love it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I'm a Disney adult. It's not a kid thing for me. I was that way before she was even born. She just got lucky, y'all. That's just me. Solid. We are at Disney. Just so you know, I asked a question about your breasts.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It takes me a minute to get around. We're having dinner. With Chelsea Green.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Cardona, yes. But then we see Neil Patrick Harris walk by with his husband. They're like, oh my gosh, NPH, NPH. Of course, because, you know, I'm 40. I'm like, who's NPH?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We have a situation where, you know, we have the guy who at the time was managing California Grill. He's cool with us. He's cool with them. He makes the intro.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Pharaoh might. He might. He'll like it for a day. He'll eat it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
This is still about your boobs. It's still about boobs. Okay.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
A hundred percent. They come over and we're chatting. We're having a good time. We're drinking. We're taking pictures. We're having a great time. I'm having a whole conversation with Neil and his husband. We're just going on and on. I discover I grew up in the same neighborhood as his husband.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Look at that. Like all the spirits, right?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Wonderful time. They exit. We're like, I think that went well. Chelsea Green is like, man, they were just talking to you, Brandy. You know, you guys were having this conversation. I couldn't even get in there. You know, you guys were just having this great conversation. I said, do you want to know why? And I looked at her chest with both of my eyes, and I said, that is why.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's a lot, man. It's a lot. Like, I am afraid to look at your chest right now. I got it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Chelsea likes to walk on the wild side. She's young. You know, she's not a mom yet.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I'm not shaming hard. She's beautiful and comfortable. More naked than... Chelsea, always be your naked self.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Well, we were at NXT one time, and we were watching a male wrestler.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I had to be like, hey, wait, come on now.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
All right, I'm going to go... Very Detroit on this. From the Red Wings, Steve Iserman jersey.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Not probably high on a lot of people's list, but I'm going to say Detroit Tigers jersey, Randall Simon.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I'm definitely going to do, let's get Dusty's red jacket. Let's just get Dusty's red jacket back.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Wherever that's being held at. And then the fourth one, not a jersey, but I would take a professional figure skater, Rudy Galindo's white outfit that I don't know what year Olympic Games he wore it in. Rudy G. Rudy G. There we go. That's it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Next time I'll show some more cleavage for it. Let's see if I can get it again.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Um... I miss the performance element. There's always a sense of occasion to every show. I miss having a sense of occasion regularly like that. Which is probably why we try to do a lot of events and stuff at the studio to create you know, sense of occasion, something.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Naked Mind, Yoga and Pilates, here in Roswell, Georgia. You got to bring your ass. We don't do the, we don't, we don't.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We don't do the virtual thing. Not right now. Maybe we'll try in the future.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So you miss the sense of vacation? You miss that?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yes. And then I miss the travel. Not the grind of the travel, but getting to go to Europe and spend all that time over there and see the sights that you would never see in the cities and the countrysides that you would never see. I miss being with you, of course. That's probably the top thing because we had some awesome times on the road.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
what i don't miss is feeling like i'd been hit by a truck most weeks yeah and i didn't even do that much like but the stuff that i did do i felt it i still feel it to this day so i was very uh there's there's perceptions and there's reputations and there's legend there's ego there's
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You know why it's my drink? Because in my process of aging, My stomach hurts a lot. So the ginger beer is comforting. So I can still drink on an upset stomach because in this classic era of aging, there are a lot of reasons to need a drink still at the end of a day where my stomach hurts. So this is the way that I can make it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Well, that's the thing though. So you have to know that if you're going to be, and you do know, your side of it is a little bit different. Your journey is different than mine was. People love me. Yeah, they do. But you have to know when you step into certain roles and you really don't know until you're in it and then you know.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
there's just, there's always somebody that you have to look to and say, well, what did they ever do? Or, you know, when something makes you upset, you know, what did that person ever do? And what is that person standing there looking like an idiot for? You know, you're never going to get deep down into what they actually did.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You're only going to see like maybe the surface, the very surface of what they did. And, you know, I contributed in ways that I felt were the right ways for me to contribute. And then the ways that I did not feel were right for me to contribute, I just didn't. I'm not saying that it's wrong or right, the ways that people choose to, but some people choose to get in with people.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
They choose to get in with people because they want that person's voice going forward, or they hope they have that person's voice going forward. I didn't want that. I wanted to do what I knew was right. And if you weren't a right person, I didn't want anything to do with you. So yeah, I did not have those voices behind me moving forward, but I don't want them. I don't need them. I don't want them.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I don't need those people and we don't need to get anywhere near it, you know, but I don't need approval from somebody I don't approve of myself ever. And so if the internet will ever think, you know, well, maybe this, maybe that, that's fine. I don't know you. I can't take it personally, but I do know those people personally and I don't need their accolades.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I thought Stardust was one of the best wrestlers. Renee Paquette and I stand on that mountain. That Stardust was great. And I never, never once had any shame in Stardust. You bit into that sucker and you just kept sinking in and kept sinking in.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
The only thing that bothered me about Stardust is that it bothered you.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yep. Way too much. You should never have done that.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You just wait if, you know, all of a sudden, you know, that truck just blows up going down the street.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
He was so dapper and charming. I was like...
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I didn't get to vote. If we're speaking about voting, it's going to be too late by the time this happens. But naked mind. Yoga and Pilates is up for a number of awards right now. I put stuff on Instagram all the time. I know that if it's not related to wrestling, sometimes you guys just kind of scroll by. Give me a second. Just give me that vote. We won everything last year.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I'm trying to keep winning it because somehow that's helpful.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Are we going to get there? What was it that you were saying the other day in the car? You were saying something, and then you made it sound like we were breaking up or something. And I was like, are we breaking up?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We got 400 for one person coming up this week, 400 classes. But let me just tell y'all, it's a gray hair a day. I'm going to stop you before you go on a rant. Love it. It's beautiful, the things that we're doing. But holy heck, just the amount of messages I've gotten today about things that haven't gone right.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So I was super excited about it all. I know we had gone through crazy turmoil to get like I mean, I feel like it was like weeks leading up to it that we were like, is this going to happen even because technical things were happening? But, you know, and you know this, I kind of always have weirdly because there's so many things about the business that I'm not fully understanding it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
in-ring mainly. Like a lot of times stuff just doesn't make sense to me, but I'm just not natural in that part. But I'm very natural at looking at things from a fan perspective. Yeah. this was probably one of three things that has happened that I was just confident when it happened. And I knew that there were nerves and there was anxiety and we were having these conversations of what if, what if.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
What's happening? You said something wild. I think Brian was there. Somebody was there.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And I just remember you saying to me, what if they boo? And I just said, they're not. It's WrestleMania. They're not. They're just not.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, but they were booing him too. It's just WrestleMania. It's just this moment for people. And so I knew that that wasn't going to happen. And I remember I was sitting in Gorilla. This was my first time in Gorilla. I had a hoodie. The first person that I saw walking up to Gorilla, where's Naomi? And she was like, oh my God, you're here. You guys are here, you know? And I was like, shh.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes

Yeah, and then we get in there and then it gets quiet and I'm so focused in. I'm sitting right next to, I'm in the middle of The Undertaker and Stephanie McMahon and I have no idea. Good folks. Because I'm just so honed in and I didn't realize it until Stephanie grabbed my hand and I was like, how are you? I'm so like focused, you know? And then like everything goes dark.

And then I just knew, I knew that the moment you said wrestling, they're losing their shit, you know? And it was just like wrestling has, and it was just like the beginning of it, because some people know that and some people don't. So it was like, wait a minute, the ones that knew it were like, oh, hell yeah. And then like, it took that second for like, boom, American Nightmare hits the screen.

just everybody just lost their complete minds. And I was just like, this is just the best thing ever. And then my second favorite part was soon thereafter, they pan the camera to Seth, And he's, you know, going, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. And then he goes. And, like, I was just like, oh, my God. That is the most perfect, like, facial everything. It just all culminates in that one moment.

At this point, you mentioned... I'd have to do a lot to get kicked out, I think.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So I knew it was going to be great. It had to be.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Well, we talked about this the other day. I was the one that said with that little Kearney production, All In, when everybody was saying... The original All In was not Kearney.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, but I mean, we were just these little tiny people putting it together. And... The first thing I said, when everybody said how the ticket situation was going to happen, I said, the site's going to crash. And everybody looked at me like I was stupid. But I said, no, if there's no tiered way to do this, the site's going to crash. And it crashed within seconds, you know?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And then it was sold out within, what, 50 seconds?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Because I just have a sense about some things.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Because it could happen. It really could.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes

So at the time, EO did not speak a lot of English. This is my first time over to Japan by myself. So they put me with her for this match, and we're putting this match together. It's a whole new world for me because I can't really communicate that well with her. There's no translator. And so we're just communicating by motions, you know? Like, dun, dun, dun.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah. So we put this whole match together. And then the one thing that she said to me that was a full sentence, kid you not, was as we're walking away from putting this together, she goes, don't don't up. And I said, OK, I got it. So we have our match and in the match, I'm feeling great.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
and we're in heat and at one point she grabs my foot and she kicks me in like the meatiest part of my hamstring that anyone's ever kicked me in, harder than anybody's ever kicked me. I literally like yelp like a dog. And then she does it again and then she does it again And again, and I just get angry. And I start to think, I'm going to kill her. I'm absolutely going to kill her.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Like, done, done, enough. And so comeback comes. I never chopped anybody as hard as I hit her in my life. Like, so hard it was hurting my hand. Like, you would have to tell Gunther to hold my beer. Like, it was hard. And she was, like, ripped up here. And then we get to the back. And then I said, hey, Gunther. you know, thank you, thank you. Everything okay? She said, oh, good, good, good.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You okay? I said, yeah, good, good. She said, good match. And then we walked away. And then now when I see her, she's always, yeah, I'm ready. You know, like, so.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It was the kicks. Everything else, nothing. But I think she did that on purpose. I think she did it to fire me up so that I laid it in. And it worked. Like, I was angry. I was telling this to some women that I meet with on Wednesdays because they were asking me about, like, does rice, like, hurt? And I was like, child, let me tell you.

Wheatly is so good, I drink it... Wheatly is so good, I drink it... Butt naked on a water ski.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I love you too, babe. Thanks for having me.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I was going to ask you, what is something that I wear that you're just like, God, what is that?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I have one nightgown, but I don't wear it all the time. I usually wear my little sets, the little short sets.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Okay, well, now I know you don't like that outfit.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So I don't get in my husband's car a lot because it's not in pristine condition on the inside for the most part. But he had parked it. I know. I know. How dare you? You get a nice car and mess it up. It's rough. He had parked the car. directly in my path of exiting the garage, which is what everybody does, which is wonderful. So nice that people think of me.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And I just said, I'm just gonna move it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Rather than fuss at him, send a text, get it out of the way, I gotta go. I'm just gonna move it. So I hopped in the car and I nearly tore my ACL instantly because I hopped right back out. Because there were eyes looking at me from the back seat and turned straight. Literally, if I turned around, right here, sitting upright, was the head of a deer.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So I jumped out the car because I didn't know what was happening. And then I peeked back in and I was like... that's a damn deer head in the backseat. We're not these people. We're not these people. So I was just confused. I went in the house and I was like, what is that?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah. Well, he's in your car right now. I have to, yeah.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Let me go on the record and let you know, I organized all the dusty stuff. I hired people to come in. We sorted through everything. Well, okay, I... I organized it by hiring people.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Let me say something off the cuff that's unrelated to anything. I don't even know where the hell I'm looking. I'm just hitting all the cameras. Okay, there we go. Hey, guys. Hi. Public service announcement.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
If you don't know how to organize things, don't organize them. Don't say you're gonna organize them, don't organize things. I have had people come into my life and tell me they're gonna organize stuff, and I don't know what we're allowed to say on this show, but they just throw shit in the garbage can. Organizing is a skill, it's a trade, it's a professional thing you can do.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That's why you can hire people to organize. If you don't know how to organize, Hire somebody that does know how. Don't play games with that. I do not know how to organize. So when I took on the task of, hey, I'm going to organize a family, heirlooms, all the stuff, I hired a pro, let him show me the ropes. I just keep them nice how they are supposed to be. And I know you've been down there.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I know it. I saw you walking down there. I'm about to go look at it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You forgot one. African-American nightmare.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Or you can just get started. Hit the floor. Feet hit the floor and start moving. You sit around piddling around making a bed. What could you have done in that period of time? I got a child dress. I got dogs outside. I got breakfast happening. I got phone conversations happening.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
He used to make a waffle every morning. I made a waffle. She don't want just a waffle on a blank plate. A black plate at that. Just a waffle sitting in the middle of a black plate. Looked like doom. The kid walked up and she was like, I said, you didn't do anything else.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No syrup, fruit, garnish, you know. She likes a little whipped cream. I put sprinkles sometimes. Like, yeah, you missed.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I'm kind of afraid of something falling out.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Sounds so bad. Don't ever say it again.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You don't do it- But then if someone says to you, thank you, and you just look at them and go- Do you know what I say?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, we have this discussion a lot about a lot of people.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Here's where I met this head on. I said to him, I brought it up and now he's airing my dirty laundry here. But I said, something that I need to work on, Because everything's, you know, your upbringing, how you're raised, all the things. And then you come together with a bunch of other people. They're all raised different. You bump heads on things. That's what happens with humans all day long.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I have a problem with doing things that are nice and then not feeling appreciated about them.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's not all the time. It's like maybe like when we get to the 10th one. That's when like something goes off in my brain and I'm like, Feeling used. Feeling a little used. Feeling a little abused. So I told you I would like to find a healthy way to move out of this feeling that I have. You know what I mean? And then you decided to come on this show and just say that it's a personal flaw of mine.
