Well, our next guest are businesswomen, reality TV
stars, and mothers.
They also happen to be two of the most famous WWE superstars
in history.
Please welcome Brie and Nikki Bella.
Hey
Hey girls, nice to see you.
El centro is in the house.
I always got to give a shout out to that
because we're both border-town kids from Chula Vista, you
from El Centro.
So very similar neighborhoods.
And I love that you have risen to the status that you have.
I just think it's so cool being border-town kids and all.
Now ladies, last time I talked to you,
you just had your babies.
So Congrats, again.
But it's just so wild to think that you literally
had children, what, like 22, 24 hours apart, right?
22 hours apart.
22.
So I went into labor first.
My water broke.
And then Brie had a c-section 22 hours after Matteo and I.
Yeah
Unbelievable, the timing on that, right there.
And Nikki, this is your first time being a mom.
How are you doing now that you're a few months in?
I'm doing good.
I have to say, they are so right when they say
you're never fully prepared.
Like, you can prepare as much as you want.
But you're not.
I definitely didn't realize, Oh my baby, the lack of sleep,
and just every second worrying about this human being.
Like, is he OK, is he still alive, am I doing it right?
And I have to say, I get such parent envy
from Brie and Bryan.
Because I look at them and they have such an amazing system.
And they make it look so flawless and easy.
And I'm over here, like, drowning.
Like what is going on?
But we're on our second.
So you know how that goes, Mario.
The second one, it's easy.
Being that it was your second child,
how was the transition from one kid to two for you?
Well I will say this.
It was a little hard in the sense of I
was used to giving so much love to just Birdie.
So I was like, how do I split it up?
And that does come naturally.
But I got a really great piece of advice
from this mom, one time.
She was like, "Listen, when both kids are crying,
you go first to your three-year-old.
Because she'll always remember if you neglect her, where
the baby won't remember."
So I've really taken that.
And it's made my life easier.
Even though, sometimes, Buddy, I'll be breastfeeding,
and Birdie will fall.
And I'll have to unlatch him and put him down and go to her.
And then he's kind of like, "Wait a sec,
I was in the middle of eating."
But at the same time, she appreciates that.
And I feel like she's become a really great big sister because
of that.
It's the best.
I always say it's like a baby for the baby.
And you make them part of your little crew.
And then they get very protective.
That's the way to do it.
So girls, my family, the Lopez fam bam,
we're all huge fans of WWE.
And I just wanted to point out some photos of our Halloween
this past year.
So there we go.
Oh my gosh.
That's my daughter as Sasha Banks.
And then my son Dominic is the Fiend.
And then Santino is Otis.
And my two dogs are security.
I mean, that is so cute.
And Mario, you were a Bella, right?
Yeah I was a Bella.
That was at night.
During the day trick or treating I was Nature Boy Ric Flair
though.
We're not putting my Nature Boy Ric Flair outfit?
I'm proud to say the 13-year-old in me was so fired up.
There it is.
Great.
tWitch, Ric Flair actually sent me that robe.
That's really Ric Flair's robe.
That's a good Ric Flair, man.
Like I said, 13-year-old me, shoot,
47-year-old me was real excited.
So I loved it.
You both retired from wrestling a couple of years ago.
But as a fan of WWE, I'm obligated
to ask, do you think you'll come out of retirement
and possibly wrestle again?
Oh, definitely.
I mean, recently WWE made their huge announcement
about WrestleMania for the next three years.
So when I heard about Dallas 2022, Hollywood 2023,
I was like, I got chills.
And I said, "Brie, we have never gone after the tag titles."
They were made for us.
Like, there's another run in the Bella twins.
So I'm calling maybe in Dallas, WrestleMania,
or at some point we're coming back.
Yeah.
And I have to say, I had this moment
when I wrestled Stephanie McMahon at SummerSlam.
I'll never forget when we came back
after a match and her three little girls
were in, what we call gorilla, which is the place before we
got to the ring, when we came back
to gorilla, to see their faces when
she came through the curtain.
They were like, "Mom."
Like the goosebumps, the tears.
They just looked at their mom like she was a super hero.
And I really want to be able to wrestle in front
of Matteo, Buddy and Birdie.
And come back and them look at me
the same way that Stephanie's daughters looked at her.
I mean, nothing would be better than being in the ring
and just looking over at the front row.
And just seeing your kids in awe of you.
Especially as women, how empowering that would be.
It'd be incredible.
So I feel like in two years.
Let the boys be two.
I love it.
I love that plan.
That would be priceless if that happens, right there.
Just such a great moment.
I want to talk about your podcast.
I mean, you have kids, you have a reality show,
a bunch of businesses.
And now you're doing a podcast on top of all that.
What do you all discuss?
Oh my gosh, everything.
For us it's like happy hour.
We drink a little wine and we just talk.
And I think the great thing that we
like is that, you see it from a reality show,
we don't have a filter.
So we just let loose and I think people love that about us.
They do.
It's very much like a variety show.
And I think one of my favorite segments on the show
is, Brie's husband, Daniel Bryan does
what we call "Bella Brains."
So it's almost like "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth
Grader," or a Bella.
He asks us three questions, then we go against each other.
And it'll be about the planets, or how many countries
are there, or bodies of water.
How many planets are there?
Brie, don't.
They just found a new one.
So I'm not going to answer that.
I don't know either, by the way.
He'll ask us and he'll just laugh at us.
But it's a really entertaining segment.
Very cool.
Well, ladies.
We're going to take a quick beat.
We're going have more with the Bellas when we come back.
