    Whatever you think of The Rock, I’ve always loved how he never, EVER turned his back on wrestling. He truly has zero shame of where he came from and what got him here. He’s definitely not the best movie star in the world because he makes good movies, but rather because wrestling taught him how to truly connect with an audience. And most importantly, to appreciate them. Through all his trials and tribulations, constant pitches and product placement and yes, his sometimes less than stellar movies, he’s still just a good guy deep down inside. He cares about people and he wants to leave this world a better place. I am forever “one of the millions….”

    As an XFL employee, DJ and Dany have been awesome. Not only for football but for the opportunity of all staff working in the XFL. As a Graphic Designer there's not much opportunity out there and the XFL has allowed me to be compensated very well for my experience and work ethic. But also for DJ understanding the mental health side and allowing us to balance work & life. It's rejuvenated my career to keep getting better and help build the best XFL product possible.

He found out a kid from Hawaii had a make a wish and didn’t get to meet him, so he flew out to Hawaii with his family in a trip ad he took a few hours out of his day to come hang out with me and talk wrestling. This was 1999. I still have pictures from that day

    Man I blew my right knee dislocated it, my MCL, PCL, tore my FCL, 3 months ago. I’m also a father of a beautiful almost 4 yr old baby girl and 2 year old baby boy. Went from being married to now divorced or almost. Got served Eviction papers just had a mediation with the VOA and my apartment complex. I’m a combat Veteran, so luckily I get a disability check from my time in sector. But when it rained this year it poured. And I had to dig deep and change my thinking my mentality and stop allowing fear to run my life. Nothing changes if nothing changes. And things like this show have been popping up and finding there way into my
    Life when needed the most. Just related to his story in so many ways. And it just goes to show you that celebrities were once civilians and he had 7$ and I had 9$ in quarters and I uh have that same chip on my shoulder. Had to do a complete and utter career change from a union carpenter to now starting a job in sales on Monday. Due to not sure exactly if surgery is going to be the next step and i have two kids counting on me. Their mother when she shows up is a great mom. Just selfish and having children you gotta be selfless. So I got some really good laughs needed and released some really good tears. So this is a lot and a sap story. I just wanna say thank you to RC, which I watch you and DC I’m huge UFC guy live and breath but also Channing and Fred for putting such a amazing and powerful show together. The fire this lit in me knowing eviction is around the corner is a reality and never again will it be, but it always will be! Thanks gentleman!

    The fact of the matter that they got arguably the GOAT The Rock on the show is just mind boggling and is for sure my personal favorite episode to hear him tell his story. Every time he speaks on a point that’s a home run out the park, it hits a vein.

    I had the privilege of meeting The rock when I was a kid.. We were at Disney waiting to get in to a restaurant in Magic Kingdom. We saw him and went crazy. Dude literally paused his family and security to come and greet us. We took a picture. This was years ago I think it was right after the Game Plan came out. So it had to be around 2007 lol. Never will forget that moment. He’s a good man

      To me therapy is literally just venting and talking to another human. I think it’s crucial to have trusted ppl we can confided in. It’s almost like taking a verbal/mental shit. Cuz when we do it it, it allows us to flush out all the bullshit.

    I have seen bits and pieces of this podcast yet I can say when I seen the totality of it, it is genius, brilliant and overdue. It is genius because the interaction of everyone is similar to homies hanging out and discussing life. It is brilliant because of the content of topics that are unique to the individuals but are discussed in a way to where it is relatable to everyone. It is overdue because people need to see that we can come together as brothers and disclose our opinions about all. What was taboo about confessing about the kinks in our mental or emotional armor can now be relayed in a manner to which it is accepted and understood. It truly is a pivot or turning point in our lives to come together to build up ourselves and our respective communities.

The dots became obvious. This man is abusing me and he has never pivoted for not in sickness and in health.
    Your topics about mental health started shedding light on me. The word pivot!!!! Became real to me.

Used to rat it up with him back in the day at Fitness21 late mornings, mostly empty gym, and I can say for sure that what he’s best at is connecting with people on a personal level, and even as a monster ou sly-sized guy, made people feel comfortable around him. Right before the release of his first starring role in The Rundown and he went from Star to supernova, he was the same dude as he is now.
