And I was like the driver and I had those two young f**kers with me. And they were getting a** everywhere. I mean those two and they would talk about it. They would bring the broads to the f**king arenas. And they were like hot, smoking. There'd be like two hot, smoking girls in the back sitting somewhere like, 'Who are they?' 'They're with Jindrak and Orton.' And it got so much heat on Randy and Jindrak from the old guys. And it wasn't because it was disrespectful. It was because it was such sweet a**."
