You can check out some highlights from the podvast below:
On the first time he met Rey Mysterio: “Well, he’s a Lucha Libre icon, he’s a Lucha Libre legend, he’s a Lucha Libre Hall of Famer, by the way. I first met Rey when I was about eight or nine years [old]. That was a long time ago. The story is known. My dad told me, ‘You see that kid right there? That’s Rey Mysterio. He’s gonna go places. He’s going to do something in the industry,’ and that was it. And my dad wasn’t lying.”
On his favorite lesson Mysterio taught him: “I think one of the best things that Rey has given me, is the opportunity to actually enjoy. To stop for a second and enjoy what you’re doing. The pressure is a lot, and when you finally get there, all you can think of is, you don’t wanna lose it. […] The one thing he told me is, ‘Relax, enjoy, look around, let’s go.”
