it's been a minute since we've had him on a
lot of things have changed. One half of the ww
Tag Team Champions, the man bringing the Smoke, give it
up for WWE's own Angelo Dokins from the Street profits
(00:59):
my friend, How the hell are you?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Oh man? I'm doing great. You know what I'm saying.
Living like a champ right now, you.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Know, living like a champ, and I love it. So
let's let's just dive right into it.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
First.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Let me go ahead and give you your flowers right now.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Congratulations on reclaiming the WWE Tag Team Championship. Now, reflecting
on that victory over d I y, what does this
win signify for you personally and for the Street Profits
as a team.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
So I'll start with uh, for the team. Obviously, for
a long years since we've held Tag Team gold, that's
always been the goal. We kept running into obstacles and
all that stuff, and UH just kept putting our head down,
going to work, you know what I'm saying, getting the
grind don test, put on way more muscle. I spent
(01:51):
a lot more time in the dungeon and just like
honing our crafts and becoming marksmen in it. And then
obviously it's just right time, right place, right time.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
At that point, we started getting tired of everybody jumping
in our own tag team title matches, so like we
just started jumping to everybody else's and then they they
kind of realized they jumping our match again.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
They know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So obviously winning in Barcelona our first match back, first
match of the year actually to be to be exact,
but nah, man, it was just us putting our heads
down and getting back to work, getting back to what
got us to the got us to be in the
Champs to begin with, and back at NXT, back when
we first got the Raw and we switched over the
(02:38):
SmackDown and then finally persevering and getting through that. Now,
me personally, it meant a lot because Fridays for me
haven't really been like the best in the past year
or so.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
The date, like was it a year before was it?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, when we wrestled, so that Saturday would have been
a year since my mom had passed, and that was
when I got the phone call, like getting ready for SmackDown,
And just like Fridays for me have been.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
A little wonky for the past year.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So obviously winning these tag titles the day before that
one year, I don't want to call it an anniversary,
but like it was just it meant a lot. Yeah,
and it's made Fridays a little bit easier for me
to kind of get through.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah, absolutely, And like you said, I mean, you know,
I've been in that situation recently, losing my dad as well.
So when it's one of those things like you know
that date's coming, but then something like one of those
things that you did that your mom watch or your
dad watched with you, or was very proud of before
you were able to do that. So it's kind of
one of those things that takes your mind off of
what the next day is going to hold, but also
(03:52):
it's like a cool moment for you as well.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was cool. Man.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I was like, I was like, I was really hoping
she was watching from up above, so.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, you know she was. She was up there at
cheering and yelling.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
As soon as that that three count hitting, you hear
the bell ringing.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
And you know the tag team division, I mean you
look at it, and I mean it's it seems significant
developments recently. Recently just got the announcement Natural Disasters induction
into the ww Hall of Fame. How do you feel
about this recognition of legendary tag teams and does it
inspire any aspirations for your own legacy?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Absolutely, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Everybody was under the assumption that like tag team wrestling
was kind of like dead, if you will, and it's
not really the case, not at all. Obviously, we still
got tag teams going into the Hall of Fame, which
obviously me and Tez have aspirations of being Hall of
famers our self, but as you could see, like the
(04:55):
tag team division, especially on SmackDown, has been on real
Every tag team has been on fire, no matter how
much we got BF for everybody, but everybody's kind of
been putting in work. Everybody's been, you know what I'm saying,
putting a hard hat on getting getting the job done
and going out there and putting the best product for
it and repping the tag team wrestling like like it
should be. It's a it's an art you know what
(05:18):
I'm saying. It's an art form, and tag team wrestling
is a way of life. Yeah, you could be singles, guy,
it's harder to be a tag team wrestling.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yeah for sure, because I mean you're not. When you're single,
you just gotta worry about yourself. But now if you're
a tag team, you gotta worry about you know, you
not getting pinned, it's your partner getting pinned.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And then losing the match. So I understand that completely.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
And you know, you talk about the tag team scene
and it's buzzing new signings within WW.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I mean recently we had Penta.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
We're seeing all these vignettes of you know, Ray Phoenix,
and of course there's the history there and you see.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
The Hardy Boys jumping back over.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Who among the recent additions to ww's roster, do you
see the biggest threat to your championship reign with you
in Montes?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Nobody point Blake right there?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Nobody, nobody, not even just a.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Little bit like maybe, but they can't really hang with
us all the way.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
No, I'm not worried.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I'll leave the worry into the IWC glazers out there.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
The IWC boy they get very vocal when it comes
to things. And speaking of you know, the IWC, I
do want to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
The Hardy Boys made a.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Surprising return to WWE after nearly what six years away,
and as a fellow tag team competitor, what are your
thoughts on their comeback and is there potentially maybe a
dream Matchcenaria, you envision the Street Profits and the Hardy Boys.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Hey, Yo, that'd be dope. I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I mean, like I said, man, like the Hardy Boys
coming back, that's dope.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I know they haven't been a NXT, so it was
pretty dope for them to go go to NXT. And
you know what I'm saying, go rest Faxium, which we're
pretty cool with. We got a lot of respect for
We wrestled them once and uh it was it was
super dope to see. Obviously, the Hardy Boys their legacy,
you know what they mean, the tag team wrestling, the
(07:14):
they're part of that, that trio. You know what I'm saying,
Hardy Boys, Dudley Boys, Edge and Christian you know what
I'm saying, one of the best TOC matches of all time.
Actually the best, sorry, let me say that, the best
TOOC match of all time. And and like if we
ever got to chop it up and like get in
the ring and roll around with those dudes, it'll be
(07:34):
great because like we got nothing beloved for Matt and Jeff.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Absolutely, And you know WrestleMania is right around the corner.
They're tag team champions over there in TNA, your tag
team champions at WW how abouts WrestleMania. I'll go ahead
and give the pencil the Triple H H Street Profits
versus the Hardy's Title versus Title Ladder match at WrestleMania
in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
They know what I'm down for that.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Now we have to decide which night Night One or
Night too?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Which one do you want, man, it don't matter.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
We still look night one, night two, night three, night four,
night five, night six, night seven, night eight. It don't
matter how many nights, street profits winning all the nights,
all right, you can add everyone knights to WrestleManias. You
want street profits gonna win them all?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
All right?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Hey, I'm I'm I'm I'm here for it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I'm I'm all about the street profits winning at all
and getting all the gold and giving getting all the smoke. Now,
one thing that a lot of people have been noticing
here recently, Uh, the production and the product on TV
with WW, with the Netflix deale, and of course everything
else with Triple H now overseeing ww's creative direction. How
has this impacted your perspective on the industry and your
(08:50):
role within it?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I mean it's been dope obviously. Me and Taz, you
know what I'm saying. We talked Triple Charlie's kind of
trying to joke with Triple H about Hey, you do realize, like,
even though you're my boss, you know many detention slips
that I got in school because of you.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Right, So it's only right that you know what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Saying hook the production up for your boys. Nah, I'm joking. Uh, Nah, man,
it's dope.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Man. Obviously, Triple H is doing a great job. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Uh, he's making everything, making all the decisions, you know
what I'm saying, getting putting everybody in the right right
positions to be stars.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
And uh he's making great stars.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Out of everybody, and everybody's you know what I'm saying,
it's one team effort.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You know what I'm saying. Everybody, one team, one band,
one sound. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And that's the thing is like, as a fan myself,
you sit here and you watch the product, whether it's
you know with Raw, NXT, UH SmackDown, you know LFG
and you know Evolve. I mean you look and it's
like it's not just your run of the Male Wrestling Show.
It's like even more taken to one hundred every episode
(10:08):
every week.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You can never know, I mean yeah obviously, because like, look, man,
I've been NXT for seven years, going back to twenty
twelve all the way up to the what twenty nineteen,
so I kind of like I was kind of there
for a lot of things that were being said at
that time, and now it's all coming to fluition. Everything
(10:30):
that Triple H had envisioned at NXT is starting to
come to light, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Like you said you got LFG, you gotta evolve.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Now I'm pretty sure you got like a couple other
shows that are pretty dope, and like it's just everything's
coming to fluition the way he envisioned.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah, and it's and it's also cool because it's like
you look at even outside of the wrestling world where
my wife she got in to start watching wrestling all
because of Montes and Bianca Show and so like you
see all those other things, and you know you've got
you know, Exavier with the Gaming show up up, down,
down and everything else. So it's bringing a lot of
(11:10):
eyes to the wrestling product that's not a normal wrestling fan.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yup.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I mean we're stepping outside of the comfort zone, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
And there's just a beautiful thing. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
We got Travis Scott here, uh, he got like all
different types of artists, all different types of celebrities.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You know what I'm saying. Mcaulay Culkin, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yep, it's it's it's you never know who's gonna show
up at Monday night Rawl or SmackDown.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
For sure, obviously you have to tune in. And of course,
speaking of.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
SmackDown, Friday night, SmackDown is right here in Seattle. You
could grab your ticketstiketmaster dot com. April fourteenth. Now comes
the end of the show where we kind of have
a little fun, We kind of let the guard down.
Not much more wrestling, more personal with you. And you know,
after seeing the Bengals paying Chase, paying Higgins, do you
(11:58):
think that they are able to keep Trey Hendrickson on
the roster. I mean, right now I'm seeing reports that
the culture also interested in him, and of course the
Titans got you know, a former Bengal staff member with
Callahan on our you know roster, m h.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I mean, look, the sky's the limit. I think we
get get it done with Trey Hendrison. He's obviously shown
that he doesn't want to leave Cincinnati, but he also
feels like he deserves to be paid.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Nine one agreed, he deserves to be paid. He's the league.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Leader in sacks. Okay, he was our only pass rusher
for majority of the year. Joseph Asade started to come
on late towards the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Go ahead, he.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Got ten sacks and seven games or seven sacks, like
ten games something like that. But like he started to
come along, you know what I'm saying. But like, we
gotta pay Trey Henderson. He was literally our best defensive
player last year, and it showed he deserves his money.
I know he's thirty years old, but hey, look, you
(12:59):
got to pay your guys. As we saw, we got Tea,
we got Chase. People said it couldn't be done. Bengals
are breaking molds. Now, okay, we gotta keep breaking that mold.
We gotta pull out the check book, pull out the pin.
You know what I'm saying. Right, look, cut a little check,
cutor little check. I'm saying, were not cheap no more.
(13:21):
We ain't cheap Cinnati. We win Sinnati, all right? All right,
So the Bengals get it done, sine tray, draft great,
get some more free agents, and let's go win a
dag on Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Man.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I mean, I think Cincinnati within the next couple of years,
if they can get their stuff together, they'll win a
Super Bowl. Although I wish Cincinnati would side and Tray
because I'm a Titans fan and I don't want to
see him going up on the other side against probably Kate,
who the Titans more than likely we'll draft with that
number one pick in the upcoming season in the draft.
Next question for you, and this is the last one.
(13:57):
This is this is kind of a fun one. You're
you're hopping in the car, windows down, you're getting ready
to just you know, right around town.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
What's that one song that you're cranking up the second
you put the car in drive.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Man, that is a tough question. You know, I've been
I've been adamant of j Cole Dreamville Stick, but I've
also Man, that's a tough one. That is That is
a tough one because I listened to so many good songs.
(14:38):
But you know what, I'm gonna go ahead, I got
I gotta do it.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Push the t Diet Coke.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
That's a solid that that is a solid, solid song
to pick.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You know, you talk about Jake Cole and I'm just waiting.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Of course, there's rumors of new album on the way,
so hopefully that's soon within the next couple of months,
and then that could be the next question of what
are you listening to when You're in the Car New
J Cole album.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Oh yeah, definitely New J Cole.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Obviously, Kendrick, I listened to Drake, even though I guess
that's a you know what I'm saying contrast, But hey,
look I just like good music, all right, don't shoot
the messenger.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I just like listening to good music, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I'm right there with you.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Well, Angelo, it was an honor and a privilege to
have you back on the show. I know last time
when we had you on, you didn't have gold around
your waist. Now you got going around your ways. So
congrats on winning that Tag Team championship. And before we
let you go, anything you want to say to people
watching and or listening to this right now, ladies.

beat us, just know they can't. They won't and they
never will because we like that. We roll like that.
Let me put to you like this Okay, Real Madrid

No, I'm not worried.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I'll leave the worry into the IWC glazers out there.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
The IWC boy they get very vocal when it comes
to things. And speaking of you know, the IWC, I
do want to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
The Hardy Boys made a.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Surprising return to WWE after nearly what six years away,
and as a fellow tag team competitor, what are your
thoughts on their comeback and is there potentially maybe a
dream Matchcenaria, you envision the Street Profits and the Hardy Boys.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Hey, Yo, that'd be dope. I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I mean, like I said, man, like the Hardy Boys
coming back, that's dope.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I know they haven't been a NXT, so it was
pretty dope for them to go go to NXT. And
you know what I'm saying, go rest Faxium, which we're
pretty cool with. We got a lot of respect for
We wrestled them once and uh it was it was
super dope to see. Obviously, the Hardy Boys their legacy,
you know what they mean, the tag team wrestling, the
(07:14):
they're part of that, that trio. You know what I'm saying,
Hardy Boys, Dudley Boys, Edge and Christian you know what
I'm saying, one of the best TOC matches of all time.
Actually the best, sorry, let me say that, the best
TOOC match of all time. And and like if we
ever got to chop it up and like get in
the ring and roll around with those dudes, it'll be
(07:34):
great because like we got nothing beloved for Matt and Jeff.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Absolutely, And you know WrestleMania is right around the corner.
They're tag team champions over there in TNA, your tag
team champions at WW how abouts WrestleMania. I'll go ahead
and give the pencil the Triple H H Street Profits
versus the Hardy's Title versus Title Ladder match at WrestleMania
in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
They know what I'm down for that.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Now we have to decide which night Night One or
Night too?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Which one do you want, man, it don't matter.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
We still look night one, night two, night three, night four,
night five, night six, night seven, night eight. It don't
matter how many nights, street profits winning all the nights,
all right, you can add everyone knights to WrestleManias. You
want street profits gonna win them all?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
All right?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Hey, I'm I'm I'm I'm here for it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I'm I'm all about the street profits winning at all
and getting all the gold and giving getting all the smoke. Now,
one thing that a lot of people have been noticing
here recently, Uh, the production and the product on TV
with WW, with the Netflix deale, and of course everything
else with Triple H now overseeing ww's creative direction. How
has this impacted your perspective on the industry and your
(08:50):
role within it?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I mean it's been dope obviously. Me and Taz, you
know what I'm saying. We talked Triple Charlie's kind of
trying to joke with Triple H about Hey, you do realize, like,
even though you're my boss, you know many detention slips
that I got in school because of you.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Right, So it's only right that you know what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Saying hook the production up for your boys. Nah, I'm joking. Uh, Nah, man,
it's dope.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Man. Obviously, Triple H is doing a great job. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Uh, he's making everything, making all the decisions, you know
what I'm saying, getting putting everybody in the right right
positions to be stars.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
And uh he's making great stars.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Out of everybody, and everybody's you know what I'm saying,
it's one team effort.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You know what I'm saying. Everybody, one team, one band,
one sound. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And that's the thing is like, as a fan myself,
you sit here and you watch the product, whether it's
you know with Raw, NXT, UH SmackDown, you know LFG
and you know Evolve. I mean you look and it's
like it's not just your run of the Male Wrestling Show.
It's like even more taken to one hundred every episode
(10:08):
every week.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You can never know, I mean yeah obviously, because like, look, man,
I've been NXT for seven years, going back to twenty
twelve all the way up to the what twenty nineteen,
so I kind of like I was kind of there
for a lot of things that were being said at
that time, and now it's all coming to fluition. Everything
(10:30):
that Triple H had envisioned at NXT is starting to
come to light, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Like you said you got LFG, you gotta evolve.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Now I'm pretty sure you got like a couple other
shows that are pretty dope, and like it's just everything's
coming to fluition the way he envisioned.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah, and it's and it's also cool because it's like
you look at even outside of the wrestling world where
my wife she got in to start watching wrestling all
because of Montes and Bianca Show and so like you
see all those other things, and you know you've got
you know, Exavier with the Gaming show up up, down,
down and everything else. So it's bringing a lot of
(11:10):
eyes to the wrestling product that's not a normal wrestling fan.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yup.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I mean we're stepping outside of the comfort zone, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
And there's just a beautiful thing. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
We got Travis Scott here, uh, he got like all
different types of artists, all different types of celebrities.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You know what I'm saying. Mcaulay Culkin, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yep, it's it's it's you never know who's gonna show
up at Monday night Rawl or SmackDown.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
For sure, obviously you have to tune in. And of course,
speaking of.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
SmackDown, Friday night, SmackDown is right here in Seattle. You
could grab your ticketstiketmaster dot com. April fourteenth. Now comes
the end of the show where we kind of have
a little fun, We kind of let the guard down.
Not much more wrestling, more personal with you. And you know,
after seeing the Bengals paying Chase, paying Higgins, do you
(11:58):
think that they are able to keep Trey Hendrickson on
the roster. I mean, right now I'm seeing reports that
the culture also interested in him, and of course the
Titans got you know, a former Bengal staff member with
Callahan on our you know roster, m h.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I mean, look, the sky's the limit. I think we
get get it done with Trey Hendrison. He's obviously shown
that he doesn't want to leave Cincinnati, but he also
feels like he deserves to be paid.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Nine one agreed, he deserves to be paid. He's the league.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Leader in sacks. Okay, he was our only pass rusher
for majority of the year. Joseph Asade started to come
on late towards the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Go ahead, he.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Got ten sacks and seven games or seven sacks, like
ten games something like that. But like he started to
come along, you know what I'm saying. But like, we
gotta pay Trey Henderson. He was literally our best defensive
player last year, and it showed he deserves his money.
I know he's thirty years old, but hey, look, you
(12:59):
got to pay your guys. As we saw, we got Tea,
we got Chase. People said it couldn't be done. Bengals
are breaking molds. Now, okay, we gotta keep breaking that mold.
We gotta pull out the check book, pull out the pin.
You know what I'm saying. Right, look, cut a little check,
cutor little check. I'm saying, were not cheap no more.
(13:21):
We ain't cheap Cinnati. We win Sinnati, all right? All right,
So the Bengals get it done, sine tray, draft great,
get some more free agents, and let's go win a
dag on Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Man.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I mean, I think Cincinnati within the next couple of years,
if they can get their stuff together, they'll win a
Super Bowl. Although I wish Cincinnati would side and Tray
because I'm a Titans fan and I don't want to
see him going up on the other side against probably Kate,
who the Titans more than likely we'll draft with that
number one pick in the upcoming season in the draft.
Next question for you, and this is the last one.
(13:57):
This is this is kind of a fun one. You're
you're hopping in the car, windows down, you're getting ready
to just you know, right around town.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
What's that one song that you're cranking up the second
you put the car in drive.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Man, that is a tough question. You know, I've been
I've been adamant of j Cole Dreamville Stick, but I've
also Man, that's a tough one. That is That is
a tough one because I listened to so many good songs.
(14:38):
But you know what, I'm gonna go ahead, I got
I gotta do it.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Push the t Diet Coke.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
That's a solid that that is a solid, solid song
to pick.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You know, you talk about Jake Cole and I'm just waiting.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Of course, there's rumors of new album on the way,
so hopefully that's soon within the next couple of months,
and then that could be the next question of what
are you listening to when You're in the Car New
J Cole album.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Oh yeah, definitely New J Cole.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Obviously, Kendrick, I listened to Drake, even though I guess
that's a you know what I'm saying contrast, But hey,
look I just like good music, all right, don't shoot
the messenger.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I just like listening to good music, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I'm right there with you.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Well, Angelo, it was an honor and a privilege to
have you back on the show. I know last time
when we had you on, you didn't have gold around
your waist. Now you got going around your ways. So
congrats on winning that Tag Team championship. And before we
let you go, anything you want to say to people
watching and or listening to this right now, ladies.
Speaker 1 (15:40):

Street Profits are here. We ain't going nowhere. We gonna

Speaker 1 (16:04):
So if you even think of any team that can
beat us, just know they can't. They won't and they
never will because we like that. We roll like that.
Let me put to you like this Okay, Real Madrid
won the Champions League fifteen, by the way, going for
(16:26):
sixteen Ohio State. The Ohio State won the National Championship.
The Street Profits won the Tag Team Championships. The Bengals
are gonna win the Super Bowl, the Reds are gonna
win the World Series, and the.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Winning's never gonna stop.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Because, just like those other teams, the Street Profits are
