<v Speaker 4>We're almost.
<v Speaker 2>That's why we have you here, Scotty. So uh, Scotty,
<v Speaker 2>you've been embarking on this documentary, which I couldn't believe
<v Speaker 2>knowing you, that you would let people into your world
<v Speaker 2>this much. I feel like we're good friends and you
<v Speaker 2>barely tell me shit about yourself.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I.

<v Speaker 1>No, I got a bottle of water. I got my
<v Speaker 1>smart water, Like I don't know what's so smart.
<v Speaker 4>About it, but I've been trying to figure that out
<v Speaker 4>for years.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, or I'm sorry, smiz art water.
<v Speaker 2>Be careful, they're listening. So tell us about that documentary.
<v Speaker 1>The documentary it's to look at my life and career
<v Speaker 1>warts and all. I had a final say on the cut,
<v Speaker 1>so I made sure that it showed all the negative
<v Speaker 1>as well as the positive. And uh, I felt that
<v Speaker 1>the only way I told the director was a really
<v Speaker 1>good guy. Jordie Day. Yeah, he made a film before
<v Speaker 1>on uh provert Bob Probert. I don't know anybody's seen that,
<v Speaker 1>but I heard that was really good. And uh another
<v Speaker 1>one on Manson. He won some kind of award for
<v Speaker 1>and and he he had his get to the question, well,
<v Speaker 1>why did end the director do want to make a
<v Speaker 1>documentary about you? Okay, let me answer the He heard
<v Speaker 1>me on Austin's podcast, thought I was interesting and thought
<v Speaker 1>I'd make a great documentary subject. So I was like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>so that's pretty cool. So you know, at first I
<v Speaker 1>thought he was full of shit, you know, because but
<v Speaker 1>then he backed it up and uh and then he's
<v Speaker 1>like he told me what he had done and I
<v Speaker 1>saw it, and I saw clips of it, and I
<v Speaker 1>thought it was really good, and but I wanted to
<v Speaker 1>make it all you know, the negative too. You know,
<v Speaker 1>he show all my baggage, all my issues, and I
<v Speaker 1>think he captured did a really good job. It's it's funny.
<v Speaker 1>It's like, do I like the film, Yeah, I think
<v Speaker 1>it's a great film. Do I like watching it?
<v Speaker 4>No?
<v Speaker 5>So this wouldn't be the right time to show the trailer.
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, we want to. We want to help that,
<v Speaker 2>you know, people that don't know about this see it.
<v Speaker 4>So the trailer reason.
<v Speaker 1>The only reason I don't like watch it is it's
<v Speaker 1>I've dealt with all my issues and I'm cool with him,
<v Speaker 1>but to have them all brought up, you know, in
<v Speaker 1>a two hour lump, you know. You know, it's like, uh,
<v Speaker 1>it's like Jerko says in a movie, he goes people
<v Speaker 1>love him or they hate him, and uh, and that's true,
<v Speaker 1>and it's you know, it's funny and it's true, but
<v Speaker 1>it's also painful.
<v Speaker 8>You know.
<v Speaker 1>I don't want people to hate me, you know what
<v Speaker 1>I mean. But you know, everybody wants to be liked
<v Speaker 1>and loved and uh you know, so uh go fuck yourself.
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, because because of your reputation, you're
<v Speaker 2>someone I never ever thought I would connect with in
<v Speaker 2>the business and be buddies with.
<v Speaker 4>You know, people just.
<v Speaker 2>Don't you know, they knew what a fan I was
<v Speaker 2>of yours and now you know that.
<v Speaker 4>But they're a dickhead, you know.
<v Speaker 1>You know That's the best story is how I is
<v Speaker 1>how I met him. I saw him at a in
<v Speaker 1>the show and he had him and I saw his
<v Speaker 1>match and I was like, man, you are a phenomenal
<v Speaker 1>how come New York hasn't hired you yet? And He's like,
<v Speaker 1>I was just there for eight years. I'm like, I
<v Speaker 1>don't watch the product.
<v Speaker 2>I was literally packing up my eight by tens of
<v Speaker 2>the WV logo all over.
<v Speaker 4>I'm going, oh, man, I want.
<v Speaker 2>To explain this to Raven. I remember we had like yeah,
<v Speaker 2>but I said that to you. I said, bro, I
<v Speaker 2>just got fired. I was there for eight years. And
<v Speaker 2>then there was like a moment of silence. You go,
<v Speaker 2>That's why I tell guys, never go there when you're young.
<v Speaker 9>Pointless.
<v Speaker 2>This is pointless.
<v Speaker 1>You never go there when it is you don't want to.
<v Speaker 1>Everybody wants to race there, but you don't want to
<v Speaker 1>race yourself there and get there before you're ready, because
<v Speaker 1>then you may not get another chance. So luckily you
<v Speaker 1>got another chance and it paid off well. But he
<v Speaker 1>always he never took away whenever he would tell the story,
<v Speaker 1>he would never take away the part where I put
<v Speaker 1>him over. How talented he is. That would always get
<v Speaker 1>left aside.
<v Speaker 2>That didn't happen. And I was almost speechless at the
<v Speaker 2>nice things you were saying to me about my my
<v Speaker 2>mash On.
<v Speaker 1>I thought, you're a phenomenal man.
<v Speaker 5>Man, Well what about me? What about Broski? See what
<v Speaker 5>I did there?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's a good guy.
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, what's going on?
<v Speaker 4>Running?
<v Speaker 9>We are running.
<v Speaker 8>I just thought about this story and it's very very
<v Speaker 8>raven esk and it's also very very New England. Ww
<v Speaker 8>sends us to h WA in Cincinnati and Raven only
<v Speaker 8>being in Raven's world. We go to some big meeting
<v Speaker 8>and they introduce us to a bunch of people and that, hey,
<v Speaker 8>this one guy is a big fan.
<v Speaker 1>He's plays for the Patriots, James Devlin, He's a fullback.
<v Speaker 1>He won this. He won the super Bowl right this year,
<v Speaker 1>just wins it. I love this story.
<v Speaker 10>So we're all sitting down big meeting, big steakhouse, and
<v Speaker 10>it's where you know when the like after all the introductions,
<v Speaker 10>you take you know whatever pictures, and then it gets
<v Speaker 10>really quiet and Raven is sitting next to him and
<v Speaker 10>he goes, you play football, huh.
<v Speaker 1>And the guy goes, diegos has that working out for you?
<v Speaker 8>And the guy goes, I just won the super Bowl.
<v Speaker 8>And Scottie without missing to be goes nic See it's
<v Speaker 8>working out good. That's my Raven Patriot story.
<v Speaker 1>The only the only party gets left out of that
<v Speaker 1>story is the fact that you or didn't know who
<v Speaker 1>he was either.
<v Speaker 2>Holy all right, let's take a look at the trailer
<v Speaker 2>for Raven's documents.
<v Speaker 1>Everybody spin around. You're like, you gotta change your gimmick.
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm a really good chicken shit here. You're like,
<v Speaker 1>nobody's buying chicken shit here. You got the party for
<v Speaker 1>Economy holds an. I've been looking for our competition, but.
<v Speaker 2>I can't find it. Economy Oldest Twice is like this
<v Speaker 2>dude to be a producer on a Vince Show when
<v Speaker 2>you like twenty years old.
<v Speaker 1>It's something. He's a fucking serious savit wrestling.
<v Speaker 2>That wanted him to be in the office. They wanted
<v Speaker 2>to be a producer, and I want to go do
<v Speaker 2>this ECLI thing and be an artist. The person who
<v Speaker 2>thinks it up doesn't get into credit. It's the person
<v Speaker 2>who steals it from the guy who thinks sit up.
<v Speaker 11>He wanted to have it taketh He might want to
<v Speaker 11>have it set up so it's handy.
<v Speaker 8>I have had a love hate relationship with Raven.
<v Speaker 5>Kind of an arrogance, you know, had a little bit
<v Speaker 5>of a jerk.
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people thought of him as a prick.
<v Speaker 11>Asper guys, which are narcissistic personality disorder, basic lea's egomania, grandiosity,
<v Speaker 11>exaggerated sense of self importance. I feel it's a period
<v Speaker 11>of others and that one deserves special treatment.
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's so me.
<v Speaker 7>He had a very dark upbringing, and it could be
<v Speaker 7>a lot darker because it's all the story you.
<v Speaker 1>Tell yourself and the stories that he told.
<v Speaker 11>Weird kind of this kid that was dismissed by his
<v Speaker 11>family and was never given the chance.
<v Speaker 1>The longer I lived in the raving character. You know,
<v Speaker 1>art imitated life, but then life started to imitate art
<v Speaker 1>for the more of a degenerative became. Because that's what
<v Speaker 1>raving was.
<v Speaker 11>Excessive need for admiration, yes, what's predecenter of attention? Yes,
<v Speaker 11>lack of empathy severely limited or totally lack of ability
<v Speaker 11>to care about the emotional needs or experiences of others.
<v Speaker 11>Chronic feelings of emptiness and boredom.
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's me.
<v Speaker 8>And the physical shit that he has done to his
<v Speaker 8>body is horrible.
<v Speaker 1>He has contractions in his heart.
<v Speaker 5>It wouldn't be good if he took a bump from.
<v Speaker 1>Bam bam bam bam.
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be just living to life, just
<v Speaker 1>to be alive, you know. Thank you, thank you? And
<v Speaker 1>where the funk were you? Last night?
<v Speaker 2>When I had my screening, they already bought tickets for this.
<v Speaker 2>I've watched it twice now the director send it to me.
<v Speaker 4>Guys.
<v Speaker 2>I can't recommend it enough. Obviously I'm very biased. I'm
<v Speaker 2>a huge Raven fan e CW fan. But man, it's
<v Speaker 2>so open and honest and unique and just so well done.
<v Speaker 4>It's incredible. So how can people watch this thing?
<v Speaker 2>I got a special privileged sneak peak.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're doing we're doing some sneak peaks. Hate holding
<v Speaker 1>the mic, Yeah, I got a tremor, so it's annoying.
<v Speaker 1>It's early on, said Parkinson's. But the uh so, I
<v Speaker 1>hate that because it makes you people, I feel like
<v Speaker 1>it looks it makes you look like you're nervous, which
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. I'm used to.
<v Speaker 5>How good was that matter?
<v Speaker 4>So I had that you're nervous around me?
<v Speaker 1>Talented man, he's a that.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I just.
<v Speaker 1>Figured you'd be in a position to use me later, so.
<v Speaker 5>It's got out of it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, bright A calouons, but no tell people how they
<v Speaker 2>can see this thing.
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not sure the exact date we're gonna have. Really,
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna release that on streaming and DVD, Blu ray
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff, but the announcement's not gonna come
<v Speaker 1>till for another week or so, probably until we get

<v Speaker 1>bad day and I had a bad day of work.
<v Speaker 1>Somebody was mean to me, and they'll they'll they all
<v Speaker 1>take fix off the ticket. Yeah, so it's funny story.
<v Speaker 1>So so I go there to the judge and there's
<v Speaker 1>this girl behind me. He was really hot, and I
<v Speaker 1>was like, and she's like and I remember, and she goes, uh,
<v Speaker 1>I got this this polaroid of me and you and
<v Speaker 1>I got really and she was at the matches in
<v Speaker 1>Portland the week before and I thought she was hot
<v Speaker 1>and then uh so she had have blown me into
