Noah Centineo on Getting Hair Extensions for "Street Fighter" and Helping His Ex-Girlfriend with Hers

Noah: But the hair is also just as much a character as Ken is, so going blonde was important, right? You have to have, the hair is a thing. And so they came to me and I had grown my hair out pretty long to about here. Yeah, it was about to here, and they said, 'Darling, it's gotta be bigger. It's gotta be longer.' I said, 'Well, what do you wanna do?' She goes, 'Maybe a wig.' And I go, 'I don't want a wig. How about keratin extensions, K-tip extensions' and she goes, 'How did you know about those?' And I had a girlfriend, but she always had these wonderful extensions, so whenever she was ready to be rid of them, we'd put on a really long movie and I would just like sit up on the back of the couch and she would, she'd sit here and I'd have like the tool flyers, and I'd just sit there, we'd watch the movie and I'd just rip it out and then do the next one.

Drew: By the way, I have extensions and will you take them out?

Noah: OK, so I don't wanna hurt you. You would take those like shark tooth pliers and like clip out.

Drew: Someone who actually is a very good friend of this show and has hosted this show is Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson. He is in the movie with you. He is a total badass in it. I've never seen him with that like cool hairdo.

Noah: He plays Balrog in the film. He's a boxer and he's out for blood.

Drew: What was fighting with him like?

Noah: He punched me in the face.

Drew: Accidentally?

Noah: Yeah, but hard. It was a solid hit, as you can imagine. Stunts is like a dance. It's like choreography, you know, and I think that, I was a bad dance partner on that day. Me and 50 were dancing, throwing punches, ducking, moving around, and I was supposed to duck, and I didn't, and he threw his punch and went, wow.

John Cena on Knowing When to Retire

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/SH7g94OfIbM6

Drew: I don't know how and when to let go. And I don't want to retire necessarily yet. And I was just curious like how you decided to retire from wrestling.

John: It's when your beliefs line up that it's the right choice. I wanna be in the ring forever. I wanna be there now. I love it. I'll always love it. I also made a promise to myself to not do bad work. To not selfishly hang on for my own ego, and just to feed my own thing and take away from everybody else. This is a team effort, and I keep track of data points along the way to let me know I'm getting slower, I'm getting older, I'm getting weaker, that's just time. So, what I did is I pushed the envelope as long as I could, preparing for shows took longer, recovering from shows took longer, and then I realized like when I got married, my bride, because my priorities shifted when I'm on the roller coaster by myself, and I got nobody else to worry about, I blow out a knee, it doesn't affect anybody. When I'm part of a team and we make a promise to each other, like, hey, I'm gonna make responsible decisions, so we have as many nights together as we can, we have as many mornings together as we can. So my priorities change and people will say, 'Oh he's not passionate about the business, look he can still wrestle, why isn't he still here?' Like, I'm passionate about the business, and I, for me, the most passionate act was to step away and give somebody else a chance, because the business has given me a quarter century of opportunity.

John and Drew on Approaching Aging and Death with an Open Mind

Drew: Something after 50 has been as if it was going uphill at like an incline where I just thought the whole thing could fall backwards like the opening of 'Matchbox.' Like I'm not kidding, when you're in that scene, that is the visual that's coming to mind and I'm like, I don't know where this is going or how this is gonna get pulled off.

John: That's how I felt until I was 50.

Drew: And for the first time I feel leveled out. 50 made me feel like this, and now I'm starting to do this, but it's not a nosedive or decline, it's like enjoying the ride, like on the free fall with a big smile on my face.

John: What do you think it was about 50? Like how did you face fear and diminish it?

Drew: I know I have less time now.

John: This is beautiful, right? This is beautiful.

Drew: So I got this written. And I realized that my true -

John: Memento Mori. Remember you're human. We are all gonna die. And that, yours, your epiphany happened about 50. Mine happened a little before then.

Drew: Really? Because how did you realize it?

John: We're all gonna die. And I don't think, I don't think we look at that enough, right? And because death loss is tragic, it's morbid, it's very sad if you look at it that way. What it is, is absolute and inevitable. So instead of avoiding the talk, there's a few subjects we just don't talk about. Me reminding myself that I'm just renting and we're all going to the same place, allows me to approach every day if I have a wrong side of the bed, to make that wrong side of the bed shorter, because I'm alive, like I'm awake.

Drew: I love we're all just renting.
