The Nature Boy joins the Pivot in an entertaining yet emotional conversation about life with Ryan, Channing and Fred. The conversation opens up with Flair explaining his inspiration for the larger than life persona he cultivated through his in-ring antics and lavish personality which became the standard of swagger for generations.
"It all really started when I saw Joe Namath at Alabama and heard he slept with a hundred girls his freshman year and I said, that's my kind of man," Flair laughs while telling the story as the guys continue to reminisce with him over some of the more notable stories of his career. Wrestling was a gateway to being an entertainer for The Nature Boy who is proud of the reputation he created while setting a standard for people all over the world who genuinely admired him for his boastful behavior and carefree lifestyle.
As the conversation continues, Flair opens up about some of the darker moments in his life: losing his son and his own near death experience.
With the anniversary of his son's death near, Ric talks about the loss and how he cried everyday for years after losing him to a drug overdose. "For five years, I drank from 10 in the morning until 2am...Everyday I'd wake up and it's still right in front of me what happened," Ric shares in an emotional moment describing how hard it was to find his son and how it doesn't get easier even though it's been years.
Offering comfort as fathers, the men relate to his post loss mentality and couldn't imagine being in that position. Flair goes on to share how he fortunate he feels to be alive and have made the global impact he did on so many lives sharing stories and conversations he's had with various celebrities and athletes over the years.
Turning back to a positive note, Flair shares that his infamous coined phrase "Wooo!" was derived from Jerry Lee Lewis' 1957 hit "Great Balls of Fire" while listening to the song on a road trip. Channing goes right for the gusto asking if the rumored number of sleeping with 10,000 women is accurate...The Nature Boy breaks down the numbers by days and explains how although he doesn't know the exact number, it could be close to that figure!

Brothers, I love this podcast! And you brought my man Ric Flair on, tears came to my eyes remembering waiting for him to come into the studio at WRAL-TV Raleigh NC. My mom took me to the shows every tuesday for a while. I got Ric's autograph one day, he stopped and talked to me and my mom. Ric was and still is the "Man", he wore the clothes and the jewelry. He was so much to us kids!! We owe him so much.

[@drewbranch7700]

Say that again brother👊🏽

[@mikerubin3105]

Flair never liked black people you marks!

[@gasparramirez5647]

Brought tears to my eyes and made me laugh. That's the" Nature Boy" for you. Great interview!

[@anwarwallace3408]

For real I am going through all my emotions during this interview.

[@madryboi]

Ric Flair is oneof my favorite top-10 wrestlers all-time hands down. I love when Ric slap his opponents across their chest and hit his dance move and scream WHOOOOOO!!! Damn right Ric keep representing my friend and it's good to see that he's cool with a lot of people. Regardless of their skin color Ric if your cool, Ric is going to party with you. Ric damn near had me in tears when he spoke about the loss of his son.

[@KrazyRaisin]

Hope I spelled his name right, Crowder is a beast at this, see how he uplifted the room when Ric was talking about the loss of his son. The man has talent.

[@ms.carpenter7793]

Facts and folks try to give him hell for his Russell comment, they better leave my boy alone…he knows what he’s doing!!!!

[@flatliners2011]

This needs 1 million views....I did not expect to start tearing up watching a Rick Flair interview!!

[@chrisalverez6319]

More than 1 mill

[@TGPI]

It got real when he was speaking about his son. "I cry a lot"!😢💔

[@aaronz9410]

From the laughter, to tears, to nodding in agreement, back to laughing again... Yeah this was an amazing interview. Ric is as real as it gets and a good human down to his core.

[@benchase5797]

“I cry a lot” - thank you for that Ric.

[@Natamic26]

Y'all showing off now! Y'all got Ric Flair?!! 🗣WOOOOOOOOOOO

[@ImJustaWill]

RC, Fred and Channing, thank you gentlemen. You guys are producing something totally different than I think we have seen before, especially for athletes. Your interviews are a fresh and you each bring something perspective to the table. Great job, keep up the good work!

[@aoclive6710]

What happened to chad

[@ImJustaWill]

@@aoclive6710 I believe he is still with I AM Athlete. Fred and Channing left that podcast to start the Pivot with RC.

[@nurseypie]

This is a conversation with Richard Fliehr, not Ric Flair. The Pivoters do it again! Bravo.👏🏽👊🏽👍🏽🙏🏽

[@CharlesStanleyArt]

This was MAGNIFICENT! Got me excited, emotional and satisfied all in one sitting! Best episode yet! Ric was my childhood, I'm an NWA/WCW kid (where I first discovered him, well before the WWF/E days). I had no idea he was dealing with so many challenges outside of the ring, great interview!

[@orderedmore4203]

Rick Flair is funny af. "I'd just poke him in the eye and go, ahhhhh" 🤣🤣🤣

[@specialk5579]

The PIVOT stands alone 💪🏽💯

[@anthonyjohnson7789]

I don't know about y'all, but if Rick Flair said he had to have my number I would flip all the way out... He is and will always be the man WOOOOOOOW...!!!

[@biggjuntao3090]

This was great and genuine episode, they went from crying to laughing again, genuine flow.💯👌🏾

[@sknkwrksowner]

Human. Damn. That son story was tough. Pivot is HEAT

[@gbracey74]

Seeing one of your hero’s and idols as a human is so powerful. I felt this interview so much

[@1theonezman]

Wow. That was amazing. Fun, laughs, but the raw emotion when talking about his son….. chills!!! Great job.

[@tomsurber2293]

I'm blessed to have met Naitch twice and he couldn't have been nicer or funnier each time. He loves to engage with his fans and in that regard he's the genuine article!

[@30pipeliner]

This is one of my favorite podcast on KZbin right now. Hands down some of the best interviewers out there right now. A Ric Flair interview wow talk about taking me back to my childhood. Thanks 🙏🏼 guys!!!

[@mikeedwards4546]

[@mikeanderson2152]

When rick talk about his son i felt his pain. I lost my son 14 year's ago and it still hurts till this day Losing a child isn't easy. But god has bless me with 2 wonderful kids and god has help me heal from it but i still miss my first born.

[@tarshawhitehead9416]
