Mostly about how he's trying to help some other pro wrestlers. May be old news to some, but I thought it was interesting.
Page has a knack for bringing people under his influence. Linda is actually Brittany's biological mother, but she allowed Page to legally adopt both of her daughters in the mid-'90s, and she and Page have since raised the girls as friends. Linda now works for Page, and eagerly adheres to the dieting (no gluten, no genetically modified foods) and exercise (DDP Yoga) regimens that he has laid out for her. Andrew first met Page at a WrestleCon in New Jersey, where he made it clear that he was looking for work. He has been living with and working for Page ever since, and he claims to have never felt this healthy or this good about himself before. Ted befriended Page in a gym 10 years ago and was featured in an early iteration of Page's yoga DVD and book. The two have stayed in touch all these years, and Ted credits Page's workout regimen for his sharp mind and his Jack LaLanne-esque physique. The house is full of these kinds of stories, in fact.

"He enjoys helping people, and it's valid," Scott Hall tells me. "He gets high off helping people."

DDP seems like a hell of a guy. I really, really like his dvds.

Agree DDP sounds like one of the good guys taking in Jake the Snake and Scott Hall and helping them rebuild their lives.

I saw him give Disco Inferno a talking to once at the Powerhouse Gym in Tempe for creatine rage/starting shit with the local bodybuilders. That seemed nice.

Stone Cold has a new 2 part podcast with DDP up now...listened to it yesterday. Part 2 covers a lot of the yoga stuff.

I didn't listen yet but Austin also just put up a part 2 to his Scott Hall podcast.

It's a pretty excellent podcast overall.

Also at least once every couple episodes Stone Cold will ask the guest about some guy "eating his ass out" while he intends to say "chewing his ass out" which is always LOL (imo the "chewing" variant needs to fall from use as well).

Saw on Facebook he's working with Lex Luger now. DDP is the fucking savior for old busted ass wrestlers.

Luger far more physically fucked than Hall or Jake the Snake. That's a challenge and a half.
