Transcript

00:00All right, let's get to the big story here on the show, though, when it comes to celebrity

00:08dirt, because I saw this yesterday and could not believe it became a reality.

00:15I couldn't believe it.

00:16You guys couldn't believe it.

00:17How do you think I have real?

00:20Our very own James met his very own idol, John Cena, yesterday.

00:27This is something James has been talking about on the show for years.

00:33This is something listeners have tried to make happen on social media for years.

00:38James has tried to make James has tried the most.

00:40Absolutely.

00:41Yeah, I think it's to the point where he got me blocked on Twitter.

00:43Yeah.

00:43So hard.

00:45Little does he know that was the guy he met yesterday.

00:47Yeah.

00:47But, yes, James did actually meet his idol, his number one man crush, John Cena, yesterday.

00:59Never give up.

01:00Never give up.

01:00It's what he says.

01:01It's the mantra to live by.

01:03And it actually paid off for me in the long run.

01:05Now, I want to, like, full disclosure, I would say it's more so I shared a moment with John

01:11Cena and less of, like, I met him.

01:15I was there, but there wasn't a moment where I was like, hi, John, my name is James.

01:18Right.

01:19Pleasure to meet you.

01:20It was, I was there to emcee a screening of the new Suicide Squad movie.

01:24Yeah.

01:24They knew, like, what a big fan I was in the Detroit area.

01:27And they were like, hey, we had this opportunity where we're trying to get John Cena to surprise

01:32this, this audience.

01:34We don't know for sure if he's going to be able to make it there, but it's in the works

01:38to have him here.

01:40Could you be the one that brings him into the, into the theater and introduce him and get

01:44the crowd all hyped up?

01:45And I'm like.

01:45So you didn't even tell us about this because you weren't sure it was going to happen?

01:48Exactly.

01:49Yeah.

01:49I didn't know for sure until I actually showed up to the theater and they're like, Cena

01:53is on the way.

01:55Get in front of that crowd and start doing trivia.

01:56I'm like, okay, here we go.

01:59Let's go, Todd.

01:59Oh my God.

02:00Were you scared to death?

02:02Was your heart just racing?

02:03I've been clenching my butt cheeks because I feel like I got diarrhea.

02:07I bet there was sweat.

02:08For an entire week.

02:09Like once they, there was even an inkling of it.

02:12I was like, oh my God.

02:13There's going to be, we're going to link to these pictures at DaveAndCheckTheFreak.com

02:16in a moment.

02:16But there is James introducing John Cena.

02:20There's him handing the microphone off.

02:22Look at James' face.

02:24I was in shock.

02:24He was in shock.

02:25We were both in shock.

02:26But take a listen to him introducing John Cena at the screening here, if we can.

02:31Special guest coming in to say hi and welcome you.

02:34He is the 16th time WWE champion.

02:37He's the star of the Suicide Squad.

02:40He's the peacemaker himself.

02:42Everybody make some noise for John Cena.

02:45For beautiful.

02:49Look at James' face.

02:51Oh my God.

02:52What a moment, James.

02:53What a moment.

02:54It was such a great moment.

02:55Here's a different angle.

02:56And we're missing it for John Cena.

03:04So then John Cena went on to welcome the crowd to the film.

03:07That's so great.

03:08It was amazing.

03:09We touched.

03:10He touched my hand.

03:12I was handing him the mic.

03:13He didn't have to touch my hand.

03:15That's true.

03:16He didn't have to touch your hand.

03:18I noticed that.

03:18So we had that moment there.

03:20Yeah.

03:20We came into physical contact and I knew I was in love for the rest of my life.

03:23We'll forever be a Cena mark.

03:27Like I hope it does happen like a face-to-face meeting eventually.

03:30Yeah.

03:31But in a way, this way was maybe a bit better because I feel like you, it could have been

03:39you on the news.

03:40Much less emotional about it this way.

03:42Just bawling.

03:43Just bawling.

03:44Like a make-a-wish shot.

03:45Exactly.

03:47Just like that.

03:48If you tried to tell John Cena like all the great things, like the reasons why you think

03:55he's a great guy, I think you'd be emotionally well up in front of him.

03:58Oh, absolutely I would.

03:59I know it.

04:00No.

04:00I know it.

04:02But also at the same time, I feel so good that I got that off my chest.

04:05I could let him know that information.

04:07He deserves to know.

04:08Absolutely.

04:09My favorite thing though is so James representing the show, he's wearing a Dave and Chuck the

04:12Freak t-shirt at the screening and it made the paper.

04:15However, but in the paper picture, James has the biggest bucket of popcorn you've ever

04:20seen in your life.

04:21He's so happy though.

04:22He looks like kidding.

04:24Look at the glow on his face, but he's holding like a bucket of popcorn.

04:28That's right over my crotch too.

04:30Let's go.

04:30Perfect placement there.

04:32That might be like the most perfect James day.

04:34It really is.

04:35It's the happiest I've ever seen James in my life.

04:37It was a blast yesterday.

04:39Yesterday I had so much fun.

04:40My voice is gone.

04:41I was screaming at Cena while I was wrestling.

04:43Uh, got to do the intro, got to see the movie.

04:47Uh, it was, uh, all around.

04:49It was a, it was a good day.

04:50The summer of Cena is a spectacular moment in my life.

04:53I'm going to write a song about it.

04:54Uh, everyone wanted to know if you got a boner.

04:56There were so many people asking that question on social media.

05:00No, no boners were involved.

05:01Luckily.

05:01Cause it wasn't that, uh, as intimate of a conversation.

05:04You did a great job at introducing him.

05:07Yeah, you actually did.

05:08Like you couldn't tell you were nervous or anything.

05:11Cause I was sweating.

05:12I can't even imagine.

05:14Like you wouldn't believe it.

05:14I can't.

05:15You held it together.

05:16I felt like I had diarrhea like for an entire week.

05:18Luckily you hadn't eaten most of that popcorn before the introduction.

05:22No, that was immediately after the intro.

05:23Cause I do the intro and then like, I think Cena was supposed to grab a mic.

05:27So I think that's why he was kind of surprised at the get go.

05:30Cause he, he was like signing autographs in this little room.

05:33And then I'm like, John Cena.

05:35And he just comes running out like he does, uh, his entrance into the ring.

05:39And I think he forgot to grab the mic.

05:41So then we embraced and he grabbed my hand and grabbed the mic.

05:44Uh, and then started talking.

05:45Yeah.

05:46He forgot to grab his mic on the way out.

05:49Cause he saw me knowing since, uh, I was such a huge super fan.

05:53And he's like, I just got to come out there and save this guy from.

05:56Exactly.

05:56Well, the pictures of this, uh, and the video going to be up at DavidTrackthefreak.com

06:00very soon.

06:00If you want to go check it out.

06:01Very cool.

06:02He doesn't need to do, he's such a big celebrity.

06:03He doesn't, I was going to say it's cool of him to do it.

06:06Yeah, for sure.

06:07It's a franchise baby.

06:08Yeah.

06:08But it's definitely a bucket list moment.

06:10Uh, one of my, for one of my proudest and meaningless achievements.

06:13I keep tracking like silly things that really don't matter.

06:16Other people are huge moments in my life.

06:17And that's definitely one of them.

06:20And Jason wanted to add something here.

06:21You think this is proof of something, right, Jason?

06:24Yeah.

06:24I just think, uh, for anybody out there, all you got to do is build a shrine,

06:27pray to it.

06:28And dreams come true.

06:29It's manifestation and it's, and it's best.

06:32Surround yourself by action figures of the thing you want.

06:36And, uh, you can have it.

06:38It's like my own little kind of like homoerotic voodoo.

06:40I just hope you got a strand of hair or something.

06:42This is the only time in life that has ever happened, by the way.

06:44That might be my new religion, homoerotic voodoo.

06:47I got six action figures behind me and a magazine I'm a cover of all here in the office.

06:53You guys can see it on the peep show behind me when you check it out.

06:55Universe is weird.

06:56I'm just going to say the universe is weird.

06:58I'm grateful for the weirdness.

07:00It is, man.

07:00I'm like, oh.

07:04Let's pray for the weirdness.
