He's a member of one of the greatest wrestling families of all time, the Von Eriks. You may have seen their family story told recently in The Iron Claw. He's an inspiration. He's a motivation.
He's pretty funny. And I just feel honored to be able to spend time with him today. Today's guest is Kevin Von Erik.
I'm feeling good. I feel like I can doze off.
Okay. If that's a good thing. Yeah, because you were always the barefoot guy. You were a barefoot guy, huh?
Yeah, it sure was. I always, you know, I've got these really big toes, you know, and once you stub your toe on the mat a few times, it gets bigger. And so at first, I just took my boots off because it felt comfortable in the ring, you know, just to move around better. I felt like I could fly. But with the boots, you know, they fill with sweat. You know, your socks absorb the sweat and all.
They get heavy. I had some knee surgeries, too, you know, but... But I'll tell you, I go barefoot all I can. Yeah? Yeah. It's good for you. It really is. Yeah, I'm sure. I know you moved out to Kauai, was it, or Hawaii? Yeah, Kauai. That's the barefoot capital of America.
I'll bet it is. I'll bet it is. We all go barefoot out there. I say I'm always kind of crazy about that, but I just hate for my toes to touch each other. I've always liked that. I hated shoes when I was a little kid. I guess I got old enough to say no, and I just didn't wear them anymore. Did you ever wear those toe separator things? You know what I'm talking about?
