“If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be able to do the Funkasaurus. He literally had me come down there and we spent 4 hours of him making me dance with him. I’m telling you there was nothing worse than making me slow dance with him to music. He was like, ‘The way you feel right now, never feel that bad again.’ I had some body issues. He showed up to work one day with no shirt on, just walking around. Vince had called and said, ‘We want Brodus in trunks.’ I was like, ‘I don’t want to wear trunks. I’m trying to lose 100 pounds here.’ He was like, ‘If I can do it, you can do it.’ After that, I didn’t give a damn.”
