This is by far one of my favorite episodes so far. Delivers something thats not just entertaining, but sucks you in, draws you in the conversation, anxiety sucks and its a calm feeling even to hear how others go through with it and deal with it, even tho you dont want anyone to have it. Shits real. Great job Michael, each interview is different, and not a repeat, each one approached at different angles. Keep it up brother. You rule.

Bautista is still one of my favorite parts of Bladerunner 2049. His voice, the way it reverberated off the theater walls. The character just wanted to be left alone. The one on one dialog with Gosling was perfect.

I love how Dave stood up for his friend and put his entire career on the line. You don't tell Disney to shove it and expect to work much afterwards.

[@notadeity]

I love Dave's work. My favourite performance of his was in Bladerunner 2049. He communicated so much in such a short period of time. Anyone who doubts his dramatic capabilities after seeing that just isn't paying attention.

Listened to the first interview you did with him to get a refresher on that conversation before watching this. That first interview goes into more detail on the stuff he went through before hitting it big in the WWE and as an actor, so for those reading that haven't listened to the first interview, definitely go listen and come back to this. Great follow-up interview and loved the special guest intro with Grandma Blanche! Keep up the good work, Rosey!

[@AgentAshe]

Its funny how something little can make you break down. Watching the part at the start with your grandma talking about Rummie Cube hit me. My grandma loved Rummie Cube. She's been gone since I was 20 years old (I'm 43 now). Hearing your grandma brought that back and just hit me right in the heart.

Dave is one of my fav people on the planet. I honestly didnt care for him in WWE but i LOVED his portrayal of Drax, even if not even close to the comic. He was just perfect for the role that was created. And he just wants everyone to be respected and loved. and i love dogs as much as he does just dont have the money to save them like he does.

[@Distractingly_Dope]

[@tanyagogets9907]

Dave is such a wonderful humble man in every interview he does. Love the honesty he shows and the passion for everything he does in life. He thinks he is a awkward and extremely shy man but that has made him the wonderful down to earth man he shows he is today.

[@annettef1738]

Such a good interview with your grandma and Dave Bautista. He comes off as a very likeable, caring person. I appreciated him sharing his feelings about what is going on now and his career. Love reading his tweets. Hollywood can be so fickle. So I hope that we see him in more movies.

[@zaynes5094]

As a fan of Bautista from his WWE days and watching him on TV and how he worked and how good he was in the WWE, then to see him leave it because it was destroying his life, his body, and, in part destroyed his marriage, it made me mad. Then, I got older and I realized that there sometimes are other avenues that open up for you if you are open enough to take those opportunities. And that's exactly what Dave did.

[@DarthRevanDistantCousin]

The interview with his grandmother is just wholesome

[@cyote312ify]

As a new listener, I’m going through this catalog of amazing interviews backwards through time. This one took me back to where we were 9 months ago, no toilet paper, vaccines were still just a pipe dream and none of us could have known how our year would play out. But here we are, on our way to healing. Soon we’ll be able to throw those hugs around and maybe we won’t take them for granted. Thanks Rosey and Dave for reminding me where we were, so we can see how far we’ve come.

[@iLoveBlink182sTom]

Finally got around to watching this episode. It was fantastic! The beginning with your grandmother was so beautiful to watch. when she started singing “I’ll be seeing you” I burst out into tears, cried for a good 5 minutes. I lost my grandmother a year ago and I was extremely close to her. Growing up there wasn’t a time I could remember where Frank Sinatra wasn’t playing. That particular song always makes me think of her. In that moment it made it feel like she was right here with me. Thank you for that Rosey ♥️

Was nice to hear y’all’s perspective not having to be exclusive but actually including.

[@GeneFJacket]

Great interview, as always, Mr. Rosenbaum. I'm a big ol comic nerd, but haven't been familiar with wresting since the late 80s/early 90s, so I wasn't similar with Dave when he was cast as Drax. Obviously he's incredible in both Guardians, but seeing him in Blade Runner 2049 gave me an entirely new perspective on him as a actor. He brought so much depth to such a small role, with very little dialogue to boot. It's genuinely standout work in a film bursting with all-time great performances.

[@mitsumeeshi]

Was watching an old Bobby Lee interview, got the IOU ping that you uploaded the Dave Bautista, I switched over and Wow. Just finished it. This guy is so amazing. For a pro wrestler who grew up poor in a violent neighborhood, I just wouldn’t have expected someone so humble and sweet and personable. And self-conscious, having tons of anxiety. Wow again.
