Guys put Punk in the thumbnail!!! You'll get more attention!!!

[@medelmontesinos6621]

They changed it!!!

[@oluwaseunadefolarin7316]

It's so simple

[@nicktherude]

and put his name first in the title! shorter intro. i think they'll be great with a bit of tweaking to the production

[@takerhulk3163]

Makes sense

[@michaelhempfield5604]

Str8 up!🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾🤦🏾‍♂️

[@KC-vx5wo]

I could listen to CM Punk talk for 24 hours straight he's so mesmerizing. Part 2 can't come soon enough.

Same the man is a pro. And a OG

​@haroldjoseph8296 I hope you know being called a "mark" isn't an insult anymore... if you are a mark for simply being a fan of something/somebody then so be it. You are a mark for multiple people with your logic

Pretty cool of Punk to use a remastered version of Cult of Personality so the band can get paid directly

[@kushaldeepsingh5248]

Did he tell the reason why the original version wasn’t picked

[@chrisjgutierrez1]

[@kushaldeepsingh5248]

@@chrisjgutierrez1 that’s what I thought thanks for clearing buddy 👊

[@markellstokes32]

@@kushaldeepsingh5248 because the record label owns that version so the money wouldve been split

[@DTbassman13]

​@kushaldeepsingh5248 thats actually why a lot of bands remaster their own albums after a while, so they can own it

[@UncoloredPageGaming]

Good to see Punk in his mid 40s happy and just vibing man, what a unique and insane career he’s had

[@chilicheesejay]

I was there in the United Center when CM Punk came out at AEW Rampage. It was the most insane thing I've ever laid witness to and been a part of. I could literally feel the building shake under my feet. It's so goddamn insane how AEW let the inmates run the asylum and run him out. That company will never recover from that no matter what TV deal they land.

[@MDB999]

I was there too. It was one of my favorite memories as a wrestling fan because I had zero idea he was gonna be there. My friend just randomly invited me to a wrestling show. I still have the ice cream wrapper

[@EerieWeather]

I always used to this the cm stood for “Chicago Made” Punk 🤣🤣🤣

[@haroldjoseph8296]

He was great in the UFC 😅😅😅

[@AneesSarwar34]

Punk’s own words: he liked Cookie Monster, but he’s also chick magnet

[@WranghisKhan]

If you ask us Chicagoans, “Chicago Made” is another meaning for the CM 😂

[@NoName-cz3wn]

​@haroldjoseph8296 always one loser. I'm sure you'd fair better than Jungle Boy did against Punk. What's next? Gonna pick on Rousey?

[@ryanbrisendine5748]

Yah I could’ve sworn that was a known thing

9:09 is when punk comes out 🫡

[@JCor1-j6b]

Got to meet Punk before the NXT show yesterday, as a hometown kid I was pumped to finally get a pic with one of my favorites. Great interview

[@danieljones5524]

Punk ain’t lying I was there at Survivor Series when he came back it was so loud out there

[@DEYOCLUB]

Yup! I flew from Canada to Chicago for Survivor Series and that pop was crazy amazing!

[@Rautz.]

Did you think he was going to turn up? Was there much of a buzz in the arena thinking he was turning up?

[@danieljones5524]

@@Rautz. me personally no just from the history and lawsuits I didn’t believe and definitely ppl I heard around me there was a buzz in the arena even before the show actually started

[@Rautz.]

@@danieljones5524 awesome man. I watched the show live on the screen here in nz. I was not expecting him to appear although I was gutted when the copyright logo popped up as it meant it was the end of the show so another missed opportunity for punk at Chicago….. then the static filled the airwaves and the rest is history!!!

[@Rautz.]

@@danieljones5524 oh and to think, you were there to be apart of one of the greatest pops AND greatest returns ever. Awesome.

[@peterkefalos7430]

Man halfway through the video I had to do a double take cause I couldn’t believe I had already watched this for 30 minutes. The chemistry is just so natural between everyone here it felt like just hanging out with friends.

[@tjjefferson5973]

Really appreciate that, Peter. That’s our goal. Way too much negativity in the IWC & we wanna go the opposite route of that. But, if something happens and it needs to be trashed…we’ll do that too, haha.

[@trstn8882]

@@tjjefferson5973TJ this was a great listen, not only from Punk, but I could listen to you and O Shea gush about wrestling forever. Definitely gonna be listening to you guys on my way home from work every Wednesday from here on out.

[@Maegickmike]

Punk is so engaged.. He's still such a little fanboy it's great to watch

[@michaelbrewer2069]

Guys, this was such a great listen. Cannot wait for part two. For all his criticisms, CM Punk has still been one of the most essential guys in the wrestling business for the last twenty years. Even when he was gone, his presence was still there. So cool to see him back where he belongs and to see him happy and healthy.

[@SithLordJedi]

20:06 It's funny that Punk mentions the "rebirth" of becoming a smark because he was basically the wrestler that got me into that phase when he turned heel in 2009.

[@Madferit91]

Finally a Punk interview with him life on studio. Has to be the first since the Ariel Helwani one.

[@itzsombra10]

Has there been one since the Ariel one?

[@XanielMarino]

@@itzsombra10He did like a 10 minute speed interview with Busted Open podcast but it he didn’t anything major

[@SaulAguilar.]

He needs his own podcast

[@morganmalice]

the three of them have great chemistry for just a podcast type setting. stoked for part 2!

[@medelmontesinos6621]

Cm punks stone cold impression is spot on, great first episode!

[@PepsiManCM]

Has to be the best CM Punk interview out there. Love the podcast, you guys are doing an incredible job. I'll be there for part 2 no doubt

[@o7lulu07]

Even to this day I still watch his return at Survivor Series lol

[@HomerTheBraves44]

O’shea wearing the pipe bomb shirt was a nice touch.

[@banksy2]

Subscribed for this show! Punk needs respect, O’Shea is the man, real fan.

[@mattmillner1977]

Watching Punk live in Berlin was something else, I absolutely loved every single second of it and my throat that night, and the next morning was absolutely dead. One of the best moments in my life.

[@davidherrera1956]

Being there live to witness his return @ survivor series will be a night I’ll never forget.

[@makp.2586]

CM Punk once again appreciated the Chicago fans by hooking us up with some free Lou Malnati's pizza 🍕 after the Nxt show in Chicago

[@mynameisleotam]

“I was gonna say my mortgage but i paid for my house cash” 😂😂😂

[@MFalowo]

Even got a fist pound from Punk on the Lakers burn 😂! Love the chemistry, and you can tell Punk actually enjoyed talking to you guys. Can't wait for part 2!

[@hristi]

Punk's Steve Austin voice is spot on

[@hovz-zo8lf]

lol it's the beats that make it perfect. He nailed his cadence.

[@SPLATXO]

i actually flew down from cali to Chicago to see punk at SS, such a fun night screamed my lungs out

[@DavidH1]

This is great news. Thanks for kicking this off with the CM Punk interview. Will be listening each week. Wishing you guys all the best.

[@lizurd]

O’Shea asks great questions. I don’t think I’ve heard punk go this deep with things.

[@BerndosMusic]

Love to see Punk have fun and do more media. I'm sure having quality interviews like this one fuels that, great job

[@johnd8444]

That was a good listen. That hour flew by!

[@TonyTrujiilo]

Punk is very good at giving diplomatic answers. He knows where his heat is, he speaks his mind and puts his guys over. I honestly get how people could hate him but I feel like he’s a very real dude how knows how bug he is. Parasocial bs aside he is like what I wish having a big brother was like.

[@andrewmoses1166]

Brilliant! I went str8 to You Tube and watched Punk's return. Haven't watched wrestling in 20yrs.

[@TrueFan4EverBACK]

It was amazing to hear how crazy it was backstage during Survivor Series. Hope we get to see some of that footage one day.

Yo that Hogan ambulance bit on The Rock got me too as a kid 😂 I prayed for Rock

Can’t forget the hammer to the head. I thought Rock was done after that. Then seeing the truck ram into the ambulance, I thought he was dead.

I picked up on that too. It wouldn't be farfetched that Hunter has some sort of idea of how things will play out in six months.

​​@@KingdomCloudStrifeEspecially since they cut right after he said it. They probably asked him what he meant or reacted to it.
