How did CM Punk react to fake social media quotes and AI-generated graphics?
The Twitter smart fans will still argue about it. Like, oh, it was approved. It was this. It was both. It was approved and it wasn't. Yeah. It was approved to a degree and my instincts told me, like, I'm not saying anything too bad. Like, you can't, if he's going to be mad at me, he's going to be fucking mad at me.
Right. And you're leaving anyway. That's fine. And this is what he told me to do.
But it's not like, oh, I'm mad at you and you're just straight up fired. Although I did think maybe there was a possibility of that.
What's your story? Don't you dare be sour. Clap for Stephanie and feel the...
Welcome to What's Your Story with Steph McMahon, a WWE and Fanatics original production.
I haven't been to Chicago House in a while, and I was there for a few weeks. So I vacuumed, and I emptied out the vacuum into the dumpster, and it was just like all Larry hair. I had a moment where I was just like, I wanted to reach in and save it.
Yeah, just because the smell, everything.
I wasn't expecting it. I just dumped it, and I just saw nothing but Larry fur, and I was like.
Yeah. I found one of our dogs. We had put like the bowls and collar and stuff in this closet and kind of forgot about it. And I found it a couple of years later and I had the same kind of thing because it was buried under some stuff and I was moving around. I was like, oh, my God.
I hid like all the stuff because I got there before April did. So I was just like, nope, hiding. I just hid everything.
Yeah.
I just got everything out of the way.
Did you do the paw prints?
Yeah, we got.
Yeah.
Yeah. We got like in the clay or whatever.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
And you know, you can have jewelry.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Because he was your baby. Yeah.
Yes, he was. I miss him.
I bet you do. He's waiting for you. He is waiting to terrorize you.
He still does. There's various ways he still terrorizes the both of us.
Do you think you might ever get another?
No.
No?
No. I probably would, but she won't.
Too heartbreaking.
Yeah. No, she said never, never again. And I understand. Yeah, of course. And it's fine because we, you know, like honestly, like I'm not saying it's a silver lining because I would rather have him, but we got married like, and I, we got Larry maybe eight months, 12, 12 months after we haven't been able to travel or anything. So that's what we've been doing the last two months.
Yeah. It's traveling. Where's your favorite place you went?
Oh, Kona.
Yeah. Yeah.
Easily. It's like my favorite place on earth, aside from Chicago, I think.
And have you been there before?
Kona is where we did our honeymoon. Okay. So it was like. Oh, that's great.
We went back.
Like a return. Yeah. 12 years later, as we do. Second honeymoon 12 years later.
Yeah.
We spent our honeymoon, half of our honeymoon in Hawaii, but Maui. And we had what we thought was like a – well, it was a private house. We rented a house. My favorite story. But what I didn't know is that the beaches are not private. Even if said house is on a private beach.
Have I told this on the pod?
You have. I have. Okay.
On the NikCon pod.
Oh, on the Nik pod. Yeah. So – There's Paul in all his glory waking up, flings the shades back, steps outside looking at the beautiful ocean. And then this snorkel comes up and this person comes up literally out of the water right in front of us. And, you know, quite jarring, obviously, as you're full Monty. Nice. Yeah. So there was that. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. That sounds like a familiar story.
Yeah. But congratulations again on your victory. Yes.
Oh, wow.
Talk about a comeback 15 years later, right? Thank you. In the same venue, Chicago. That means so much to you.
You know, I'm flabbergasted at that. You know, like just how we drew it up, just how we planned it.
Yeah, exactly. Because that's how our business works. Right.
Yeah, what a coincidence. Yeah. People say that there's no such thing as coincidence, but that's pretty remarkable. It's interesting.
They also say lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot, right? That's what they say.
Yeah. I mean, it was like a week apart if we're really going to split hairs, I think.
