RJ breaks down the decision to end Hey! (EW) after 165 episodes, how it quietly became an AEW rite of passage, and why he knew it was time to stop before repeating himself. He shares behind-the-scenes stories about guests who thought they were getting a serious interview, unexpected moments that turned into wrestling memes, and why resistance often makes comedy even better. Plus, RJ opens up about the influence of Pee-wee Herman, his friendship with Paul Reubens, what full commitment to a character really costs, and how that philosophy shaped his career — with a wild David Arquette story, an AEW Family Feud memory, and plenty of laughs along the way.
