You've made one of the coolest moments of my life happen by the song Alexa Bliss and
allowing me to be in the video, which was super amazing.
Growing up watching a band and idolizing a band and loving a band for
so long and to get to even know the band and just general is cool.
And then to have a song is like.
>> Right.
>> That was super cool.
For those listening, let's tell how that all came up.
>> Well, you and I, I said how we met through the I got all up in your DMs.
>> [LAUGH] >> My kid told me to, and you were like,
hey, are you going backstage?
And I'm like, nah, man, I just bought tickets, and you're just like, well,
next time, tell me.
And you're like, I think we chatted,
I sent you a bunch of merge and we chatted back and forth them,
just small talk and then you're like, well, if you ever want to come to rumble.
He wants to come to this thing called the Royal Rumble anyway, you're gracious
enough to invite us to the Royal Rumble in Philadelphia, take us around, meet
everybody, and that was a great day for my kids, and then you came to a Bowling For
Soup showdown in Orlando and you got to do the full rockstar treatment backstage, and
I gave you a shout out here and roll the bad guys want and all that.
>> Favorite song.
>> And then quite frankly.
>> Now it's my second favorite song.
>> Yeah, and quite frankly, obviously, we developed a friendship and
I was thinking, I'm just like it's so funny.
I feel like wrestling is so rock and just so like that kind of vibe,
I think it needs a pop punk song, like it just needs a just right down the middle
pop punk song and why not write it about somebody that I know and that's you.
And so, I actually started writing down bullet points, but I have a friend down
the street named Jeff, and who you met, and he is the biggest wrestling fan of all
time and I go, dude, I just don't want to get my facts wrong and like I know her,
but I don't really know a lot about her wrestling career.
I mean, cuz I'm new to this because jack had just gotten into it.
>> So, he helped write me some bullet points.
So, the song was written, I sent it to you on your birthday, unfinished.
>> Yep.
>> And I got the sweet video back with you in tears and
then came to making the video.
And honestly, the last thing that I ever wanted was to feel like I was
taking advantage of a situation.
So, I was like, hey, I'm gonna get a look alike to play you at the very end of this
thing and blah, blah, blah.
And I was like, but what are the chances, you'd want to come in for
half a day and do this?
Of course, you're like, yes, I'm in.
That's it. So, and then, that that gradually went
into you, you're like I'll literally be in as much as you want, this is insane,
this took me a long time to to really gather that you were being serious.
And so. >> [LAUGH]
>> You were so gracious and
being in the whole video, and then I can't say how enough,
how amazing the WWE was, mainly because you stepped in at every turn and
made sure that it happened, but everybody at that organization was so
great and they sent in Nikki from social media and
he was awesome even to the point of helping to direct the the video,
the wrestling part to make it look more real.
And then a you and Amber, then basically,
Amber choreographed the playing thing or whatever and it was just so
cool and such a great experience, and I was so glad that it was received so
well by not only Bowling For Soup fans, but by wrestling fans too.
>> Yeah.
>> We had a great couple of days.
>> So fun and then when I saw the video of you guys playing it in the UK,
it was the coolest thing ever and my friends even know how cool it is that
they've even made little things to commemorate it all by.
They've given me this full on picture of me and Jaret with the guitars,
I actually had my gear modeled like his Texas guitar because anytime you would
see Bowling For Soup, you see Jaret with his Texas guitars very iconic thing.
And it was so cool when I saw you guys were playing it, at your shows.
I lost it.
I have the video saved on my phone.
It is the coolest thing that has ever happened and I know we were talking back
and forth about hopefully pitching to have you guys come to WrestleMania.
I was getting the pitch all together and I was going to present it to Vince, and
then all this.
>> Yeah.
>> Shut down of everything happened, unfortunately.
But hopefully, we can get that to happen somewhere somehow.
I would love to have you guys play that song.
>> Yeah. >> And I'm going to the ring, it'll be so
cool and you also got to meet Michael Hayes.
>> I did with a bra on my head.
>> With a bra on your head via FaceTime?
>> Yeah. So,
a lot of people, if you don't know the history of,
I mean, I'm certain that most wrestling fans do, but I'm from Texas.
So, I was into Von Erichs, and Von Erichs were the rivals of the Freebirds.
And so Michael Hayes was, and he used to put up music and I bought it, and I still
have my 45 of his song and I used to have this poster on my wall and everything.
And so, Alexa would be telling me like, well, Michael Hayes said this and
I've got to get it okayed by him.
Then the day that I get to meet him, we're filming the video and she goes,
hey, come here, I've got to show you something and
it's Michael Hayes on FaceTime, I talked to him for a minute and
as I'm leaving I just hear, does he have a bra on his head?
