It's as authentic as this podcast. What Do You Want to Talk About? is a Fanatics and WWE original production. And this one's special. This is probably the number one asked for guest.

Hey, dawg. I wasn't expecting that. I wasn't expecting that introduction, my dawg.
Chapter 2: How did the Fastlane press conference impact Jey Uso's career?
Appreciate that.
Right out the chute, right? No foreplay here. Let's talk about Fastlane. Let's talk about the press conference. Come on.
The damn press conference. Man, oof. All right, look. Yeet was already popping, okay? That press conference is what lit it on fire, though. And if we could really get that out the way, man, look, none of that was planned, Deuce. Me and my dog, Cody, was out there just doing what we do. We're just hunting. Come on, man.
Chapter 3: What role does camaraderie play in wrestling according to Jey Uso?
We're just dogs hunting. It's probably one of my funnest moments. When I watch it back, I was like, oh, I'm a little embarrassed. But, like, I liked it, man. I mean, we just won the tag team titles. I've never did that with nobody else but this man right here. So, like, why not? You know what I'm saying?
Why not? That, I want to ask right out of the gate, because to me there's no, it's, the most fun thing is knowing We didn't know we had a press conference. No. So from a professional standpoint, we were just being pros. We were first. Crowd was hot.
Chapter 4: How does Jey Uso describe the evolution of the Bloodline story?
Come on. And we don't get a chance that often because I remember saying, like, oh, come on the bus. And you're like, yeah, I am going to come on the bus. We never got a chance to just have a brother-brother conversation. camaraderie moment.
And I didn't even know, it should have been obvious to me, but I didn't realize until you said it in the press conference, you had never won the tag titles with anyone other than your brother.
Yeah. Other than Big Jim. Yeah, special night for me, man. I already, I already knew what time it was, man. Like, that night hit different. Whose phone be that? It was...
It was Matt. Don't worry.
Chapter 5: What does Jey Uso say about the importance of family in wrestling?
No, it was incredibly special night. And again, I'm going to preface the press conference with we were just on the bus, in the safety of the bus, having a good time. And I don't know who it was. It was either Johnny Cohn or the Z-Pack himself. Someone walked on there and said, y'all are in the press conference and y'all are first. And I remember there's just a moment of, Oh, OK. Yeah. Great.
I was like, hell yeah, we're ready. Let's go. Let's do it. So to me, the part that I guess the only little tinge of embarrassment I have was I thought I was fine. I thought I remember Jackie came on the bus and like fixed me up. And I thought I was tying my tie.
Chapter 6: How does Jey Uso handle the pressures of being in the spotlight?
I thought we were good. We're good. Then within 20 seconds. of us shuffling out there and you're just, excuse my language, you're fucking around with the Velcro on the title and all this noise. And not to mention the worst press corps of all time, God bless them, because I love them, but they're just... staring like we're on the other side of the fence at the zoo.
There's not a question right away. Kusama posted up against the wall, all wanting to see what was going on. It just felt like, It felt like once we got out there, we were now in, we were in the deepest of waters. Yeah. And it was, I just kept thinking like, all right, cool. Just ask like some good questions, you know? And okay. And then they weren't coming as fluid.
Chapter 7: What insights does Jey Uso share about his relationship with fans?
And you started talking about people losing money, betting on the judgment day. And then you were wiggling closer to me. Ain't nobody feel me. I felt you. And that whole room felt you. So I'm talking about Kusama. Shout out to Kusama, by the way. She took that in stride. She's sitting over there.
Shout out to Kusama, man.
I know you know, man. Come on, man. Saxon started clowning on his shirt. Saxon's an easy clown. This is a totally different press conference, and I won't go too deep into this because it'll get cut from the show.
Chapter 8: How does Jey Uso view his legacy in the wrestling industry?
But one time I got asked a question that was a no-good question, and I did my best to answer it. And instead of Saxon being like, all right, moving on. He just kept the mic right here. I'm like, bro, we're out. That cut, that guy's got one. Go ask the kid over there waving his hand. I had an incredible time at the press conference. I think the funniest moment after was Michael Hayes.
The legendary Freebird Michael Hayes, a man who once was quoted in a promo of, I think he said, I drank so much as it drowned a battleship in a backstage interview. Michael, of all people, was the most adult and parenting of where he hit me with a- Hey, guys. Hey, guys. It's not like you didn't know. And we had to explain to him, we didn't. We didn't know.
They say, y'all want to go to the press conference? We're ready. We are ready. We were. Far from ready. We were ready in our own way. We was ready, man. I got the yeet movement.
That's where the yeet movement was born. It was, come on, man. I was really just happy to be in that moment in terms of, as you said, Yeet was moving. Yeet was also a little bit more of a language going on where you would say Yeet to somebody or your brother would say Yeet and this. And you heard it a lot more in conversation.
You'd hear it a little bit in the stuff that you were doing at the time with the Bloodline, which the Bloodline Saga had. a certain point where you've got to dive into what an unbelievable success it's been for the industry as a whole. But I was so glad that it just became, you put your stamp on it there. You put your stamp on it there, and now, I mean, it's right there.
Then the hand movement, like, it all worked. It's so fun. It's cool, man. No, I mean, do you feel tonight, or in general, you go out there and you're yeeting, And the crowd is all doing it and you're finding these kids and they're standing next to you and you're able to run it back. And we're doing encore after encore. You know, the what's the most amount of encores you've run? Probably six.
That's in a dark match. Yeah. And I just kept they kept doing it with it. And that was a whole dark match. It was like a big party. Now we're working. I did it. I had a Mexico, like I'm about to put Taker out there now. Uh, Taker was at a Mexico show. Yeah. We did a house show in Mexico. You think he was on that one? Yeah, yeah. Man, it was, but I was like eating the whole time and then finish.
Uh, I walk in the back, Taker goes, uh, He looks at me because he's watching the monitor. He goes, man, he goes, you're working. Now you're really working. You know what I'm saying? I was like, yeah, I hit it. You know, and it's cool once you, there's a saying, it was work like, you know, you work like you over.
But man, once you like really, really over, there's a different art to the game where you kind of, not say don't have to do nothing, but you kind of can just like, you know, like gain empathy and sympathy from, the fans when they really, really, really, truly love you. And I think you're at that level. I finally like, I see it now. I understand it now. And I just want to keep it, Uso.
