Oh he totally was about to cut a promo then copped on to his surroundings 😂😂
Brock lesnar is certainly as equally as Impressive as Andre the Giant for this generation, a freak of nature.
Incredibly nice of Sean to slouch so Cody seems taller!
Great interview, Sean. As always!!!! Best $5 in the business!!!

Another great interview Sean!! No crap, just Sapp!!
Nice laid back interview. This how it should be done... Unless of course you're Brandon Walker.
Personally I think Cody is just tired,he's been doing a lot over the past couple of weeks...Brock Lesnar,his documentary,all the interviews he's been doing in relation to the documentary....and still has to keep his head in the game for Summerslam and train for the beast....but he did his best to focus and to give responses as best as he could.....that's just my opinion anyway...but great interview

LOL I LOVE HOW CODY SAID BLOOD SHOT IN THE AIR WHEN THEY DID HIS SURGERY AND THEN THEY SAID YOURE ALL GOOD NOW HAHA LIKE DAMN I WOULD'VE PANICED
The guy
I had maybe $45K worth of action figures my parents sold for $3K... I never been so mad as an adult in my life. Not even the money as much as I wanted to give it to my kid. It's not like they didn't have the space or needed the $ either. They were just assholes.

That really sucks. I hope this not prying. Were they wrestling action figures? Other types. It’s crazy that you mention this because I had a relative who had the original Spider-Man, XMen, Thor, and iron man issues. Like put in the special mint condition and wrapped so delicately. They valued their collection around 65K. Bro, their mother was so pissed with them one day, they threw them all away in the 80s. I think they had the 60s original issues. People can be such dbags.

Hi - editor here. If you're talking about 20:09, it was actually because of some dropped audio crossing from one file to the other during the edit. Did the best I could with the crossover!

How professional Sean… your doing your interview wearing a Nike polo and shorts 😂 class it up more next time. It would look more professional
Seth let him get the win. Which if that had not happened probably would have cause Cody to lose his momentum.

Have you ever had a conversation with someone side by side like this? I ask because I have and to keep your back and head looking to your side for a long time hurts. Do it in a car. You’ll notice it hurts your neck or at the very least, creates an uncomfortable feeling in your neck. Could be that for Cody. Or he just feels like it’s uncomfortable for him. Or since they are both sitting down in front of a camera side by side, normally like reporters do, you look at the camera more than your reporting partners. Could be a mix of all that. Don’t think it has anything to do with not liking the dude since Cody is being professional and likable. Either way though, I’m not a fan of it since it looks like he doesn’t care about him which I don’t like. But Cody has always been great at always looking at his interviewers in the eye especially if there’s multiple of them like the podcast on impaulsive. So that leads me to believe it’s probably uncomfortable or he just didn’t care to look at him. Either way again, it does look odd 😂
