A listener writes into the show and asks Austin about the night Mick Foley and Owen Hart fought with a bag of popcorn at a WWE show. Austin informs that this occurred right after he injured his neck and although he couldn’t work, WWE still wanted him to be on the card to help sell tickets. He was working all the live events as Foley’s Manager at this time, and Foley and Hart made it their goal to make Austin laugh during each of their matches.
One night in particular Foley brought a bag of popcorn from the concession stands to the ring, dumped all the popcorn in the ring and proceeded to make snow angels in the ring. Austin couldn’t help but laugh and he had a hard time hiding it from the audience because while some performers can hide their laughter with their long hair, Austin’s baldness prevented that.
Another listener writes into the show and asks Austin how he felt about his childhood idol, Ric Flair, still wrestling after he retired. Austin says that Flair’s longevity as an in-ring worker was incredible, and he could never imagine working at the rate Flair did in his late 50s. Austin considers Flair to be his favourite, and the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.
A listener writes into the show and asks Austin about his King of the Ring 1997 match against Shawn Michaels, in which a special needs person fell over the railing. Michaels interrupted the flow of the match to help the kid and to make sure was okay, and Austin says there was no heat between him and Michaels because of this.
