Who is Simone Johnson and what is her wrestling background?
Hello everybody, this is the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes. Welcome to What Do You Wanna Talk About, a Fanatics and WWE original production brought to us by Wheatley American vodka. Today I have a very special guest. Some say she is groovy. Uh One one of my buddies, also somebody that I am not sure uh owes me a receipt or might to a degree dislike me a great deal. And I've always wanted to get to the bottom of it. We might get to the bottom of it today. We might not. We've been well off track talking off cam. Now it's time to talk on cam, a multi-generational talent, uh someone I am incredibly fond of, an incredible young woman. Please welcome. To what do you want to talk about? Simone Johnson.
Well say it's time.
Oh man, some are saying you're groovy.
As of today.
Yeah. What what defines groovy?
Now you're making me think. I don't know. It's just my new vocal stem. I just started saying it.
Yeah. Do you do you find that you you you get things like that and you you you rock them for a while?
Stuck in my head. Yeah.
I I'm trying to think the last one. I had something that I was overly doing. Yeah. Might have been the word juxtapose.
That's a big one.
Yeah. But I wasn't using it correct. No. I think I just did it in the last pod. What'd you use it
for?
I was saying it when you juxtapose things against one another, but then I would also say things like Well the juxtaposition here and I wasn't talking about two separate things. It was just the same thing. So I was just saying it. I do that a lot. I'm trying to think if I've got a new one. But that when you hear something and you get stuck with it, uh you rock it till the wheels fall off. Groovy being your word now.
Word of the day.
Groovy the week. Groovy Simone Johnson.
Thank you.
You you have a cocktail from Wheatley vodka? I do. Tell me about it.
Should I try it right now?
Yeah, let's try it.
Let's try it right now.
I have my uh classic American mule. Hey, cheers to you. Thank you. Groovy.
That is good.
That hits. What do you got there?
Fourth generation. It's delicious.
Fourth super on brand. Fourth generation. It is on brand. Can you tell me what's in it?
Let me see if I can remember.
Don't worry, we're gonna put it on the screen in it.
Beautiful. Yeah.
So what's on the screen is what's in it, and we know Wheatley, American vodka.
Something with Wheatley vodka and pineapple juice.
Yeah. I
remembered that.
Ooh, pineapple juice. Mm-hmm. Here's a crazy thing about pineapple juice. Let's hear it. Old wrestlers.
Mm-hmm.
when they'd and I say old wrestlers, I'd probably want to refra but when they'd have you come out It's always whiskey or Maybe something you didn't want. Or maybe something you would yeah, out of respect, I'm gonna have this, but ooh, I wish I could get anything else. Randomly, if Dave Batista ever invited you out. Okay. Right. Right. Randomly. If Dave ever invited you out, which Dave was a really good locker room leader and uh Top star when I was coming into WWE and phenomenal human. But it was so nice because you'd think we're gonna get a lot of that. It's gonna be old school wrestlers, uh, kind of Razzin, the the new guys. No, when you would go out with Dave, he would get a whole private room or he'd block a side of a club off, whatever it may be, and it was just pineapple and Malibu.
Like it was already
That's very like teenager at the house party. Yeah. Type of vibe. That's never would have thought that. What
I wouldn't but you wouldn't be mad at it. Right. You'd be like
it'd be like a great surprise. Yeah. Sure.
That normal drink, you know, or at least sugar filled. I at that age I don't think I was ready for the real hard stuff. No. Yeah. You know how old I am now? Forty one.
Guess I was gonna say forty.
Forty one. And you know how I really know I'm forty one? Couple things.
No more Malibu?
No more Mali the thought of it.
Oh yeah. It's like oh
jarring. Oh god. Sugar. Two big indicators. I've started having an interest in coin collecting. Yep. And so that's one that says, Hey. The other is Alcohol it's it's prime example. I've stripped it way down.
I thought you were gonna say like bird watching, 'cause that would be another
