Who is The Undertaker and what is his wrestling legacy?
Hello, it's the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes. Welcome to What Do You Want to Talk About? A Fanatics and WWE original production. Today, my guest is a Hall of Famer. It's the phenom. It's the dead man. It's the judge. It's one of wrestling's Mount Rushmore. He also has a podcast on this wonderful Fanatics channel. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome everything champion, multi-time everything champion, Cody Rhodes. The Undertaker.
I appreciate the introduction. I don't know if I'm going to live up to all that.
Well, we should tell them, too. This is technically, unless we just have nothing. Right. This is technically supposed to be part one. Yeah, right. We're going to do a home and home. Yeah. Off-site home and home, but yeah. And then I'll be coming to your pod. Mm-hmm. How are you enjoying hosting a podcast? Oh, it sucks.
Could you try again? He said. Oh my gosh, is that you? He said. He said, how do you like doing a podcast? That's off. I don't know why that. Oh, big pop for I didn't get that.
Who's Alexa's rocking? Just throw it in a chair. I will say it almost feels mystical in a sense that I ask you a question and then a voice just... Just started randomly speaking from my pocket. Part of the lore and the mythos. As I was asking, do you enjoy doing the podcast?
It has its moments. Yeah? Yeah, it really does. You know, when you enter... discussion or you're in a conversation and you're hitting it off and you know, that's always fun. But man, sometimes when you get that guest that doesn't want to talk or is not a storyteller, right? You want to name names? I don't want to name names, but you know, it can be like pulling a tooth. And so, yeah, when, you know, when this was, you know, brought to me, like, well, you can do home and home. I was like, yeah, because I always, you're a great storyteller. Thank you. Yeah, no, really.
What insights does The Undertaker share about the WWE locker room culture?
Thank you. I enjoy, like, I don't follow, you know, I don't follow much other podcasts or listening, but I always kind of catch you because you're very detail-oriented in your stories. And that's such a key part of... bringing somebody into what you do. Sure. So, uh, and you've mastered that and it's, uh, you gotta take them on the ride. You gotta take them on the ride. You gotta put them in the, yeah, you gotta put them in the, in the scenario.
So yeah, there's, I'm sure you saw it. And if I asked anyone else who's coming on this podcast, I actually am doubtful they would, you've seen the man who shot Liberty Valance, right?
How does The Undertaker feel about hosting a podcast?
What is the, is it the Jimmy Stewart quote? Uh, when the fact becomes legend, print the legend. Exactly. So my whole thought, I've been labeled by some of my peers as what comes up as a Cody lie, an exaggeration, a bit of a hyperbole. To me, it's just a legend. Right. I don't need, you know, like, let's give them the sexiest version of the story. Exactly. Which is fun. You mentioned... hitting it off with people. We, we tend to have something that helps in a sense. This podcast is a Wheatley American vodka. I have the Wheatley American mule. I know you have something special. What do you have? This is the dead man's draft. Wow. Yeah. All right. Well, cheers for that. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you so much. Part one in the spirit of that toast.
I have a question that I don't think you would think that I would ask you, but I have to know because I've, Gotten an answer from Sina, and I've talked to others about it, but why on earth, why on earth the tradition of gargling whiskey, and where did this come from? And to set this up, to set this up. If you got called to the bar, this is when I first came on board, 2008, 2009, 10, whatever it may be, and you got the call, hey, Taker would like to see you, you got up and you went to the bar, and there would be a thing of whiskey and just a shot glass, and you would be, you know, hey, this is part of your kind of indoctrination into the crew and into the team, but you would have to gargle it, which –
Again, I do it, and it's now, I am expecting it of others, but what are the origins of gargling whiskey?
So you may be a little disappointed in all this.
