John Cena on Humility, Gratitude, and Favorite Cars


Listen Later

Alex and Zac tag-team to take on the one and only actor, Honda spokesperson, philanthropist, and soon-to-be-ex-pro wrestler John Cena. They start with a dazzling, if incomplete, list of Cena's accomplishments before moving on to the beginnings of his fascination with torture by British car; the formative influence of Matchbox cars in the mud and Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things That Go; and the evolution from early East Coast hip-hop to the car-flaunting mainstream rap of the 2000s. Cena takes time out to demonstrate a perfect elevator pitch for the BaT model and community before diving back into the difference between Brock Lesner and a 2,000-pound supercar with 1,000 horsepower; the healthy balance struck in his relationship regarding car collecting and safety; humility as it relates to gratitude; finding the reward in running through the gears in his XK120, even without a turn in sight; the satisfaction of gauges arrayed across a wooden dash; a memorable first motorcycle experience followed by his brief residence in a Lincoln Continental; life lessons taught through two decades with his infamous un-Lambo; the difference between an intriguing car and one that just costs a lot; and finally, asking one's self the right questions about philanthropy.
