What childhood memories does Royce share about meeting The Undertaker?
Have you met Taker yet?
No. So I had this little black Undertaker mug with a little purple top. And I'm sitting way at the top at the Cow Palace. And he came out. I know he couldn't see. And I'm holding my mug up like this and everything.
Like it was the urn.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We had an urn in my house growing up.
Oh.
And we almost broke it.
Wait. You had an urn. Was anyone in it?
Yeah, I don't know who.
Oh, what's your story? Don't you dare be sour. Clap for Stephanie and feel the power.
All right, we're rolling. And poor Elise is going on no sleep. She has two little ones and one of them. How old? Two and six. Yeah. And the six-year-old has a bad tummy virus that hit about 130 last night.
Is it coming out both ends?
Oh, yeah. Oh. 130, 330, 630.
Yeah.
How did Royce's upbringing influence his perspective on family?
You just got to. Yeah.
And mommy's bed.
You just got to just take it. Yeah.
I was doing laundry at two in the morning. Like college, but not.
My daughter, we were eating, like, Korean barbecue. And, like, my kids, I don't know why, they just inhale food. They don't chew. And she started choking. And I'm like, I don't know the Heimlich maneuver, so I stick my fingers in her throat. And she vomits, and I'm holding her, and she's vomiting. I'm like, I just let it go. And she's crying. She's like, I'm sorry. I'm like, look, you can always vomit on Daddy. Then she goes... can I vomit in your mouth?
And I'm like, no, no baby, please don't do that.
I got a picture of like, I held her up and my sister took the picture and she had just ate and I held her and she just vomits in my eye. I just have a picture of me holding her like this and one eye is covered in vomit.
Smiling.
Yes.
I feel like that's parenting in a nutshell.
Yeah.
It was like a not the bed moment. So, but it spilled out of the hands. And then I just was like, I'm awake now. I had my middle daughter when – I shouldn't say my middle daughter now. I'm saying who it is. But when she was a baby anyway, she was a big puker. And it was really cute-ish because my oldest daughter is about two. And she woke up in the middle. She hardly ever slept. And she woke up in the middle of the night and she was just coming to say hi. And I have my now baby who vomits so much. Like, I don't even know where she would have all of this in her body. And it's so much. And it comes out all in my face. I'm holding her up, you know, and she's like smiling. And all of a sudden it's like a scene.
Slow motion. Yeah. Like a like a hose. like all in my face but what was funny is my oldest Aurora is walking in the room and she's too and she's like horrified by what she sees and I'm like honey can you go get mommy a towel she's like no she just left no she did she didn't know what to do and I'm like please please get mommy a towel please and she did she got me the towel and she just yeah then she left She wasn't about to stay around for that.
Yeah, my kids, anything you ask them to clean up, it's... Minimal.
Yeah. But your kids are older now, right?
Yeah, one is 20.
I have an almost 20-year-old.
About to be eight on the 18th. And a five-year-old.
So you have two young ones and an older one.
Yeah.
So you're still going through it.
It's crazy. Everybody's got a different personality. You got to deal with a smart ass. You have to deal with one that's crying at the one that just wants to just battle you all the time. But they all love the attention from dad. Of course. So it was there. I love it. I wouldn't trade being a dad for anything.
What would you say is the best lesson that you've learned from being a dad?
Patience. Sorry.
On the heels of your night.
How to nurture. It's funny because stuff I did as a kid, I see them doing, and I try not to laugh. I'll turn my head and just laugh.
Oh, I know sometimes it is hard when they say things and you're like...
Yeah, I try not to.
What's one example? Anything particular come to mind?
So Royce, my middle son...
Who you're named after now in WWE.
Yes, it's my dedication to him. We're both Aquariuses, and we go like this all the time. But he—before, like, you can accuse him of doing anything. It's, I didn't do it.
