And I'm here with Johnny Fairplay, reality TV Icon Survivor, Hall of Famer and star of the upcoming new fall hit on E that's right, E House The Villains, the ten greatest villains in the history reality television, competing for the title of super Villain. I love it is there gonna be a superhero to the oh condo. This isn't that kind of show. Hey, when you watch wrestling back in the day, did you like whole coging Rick Flair?

1:00 I was more of a whole coging. Oh my god, you're the worst. I hate you know, Well, this is ten. Rick Flair's in one house. Whoa you know, it's funny. I was talking to a person running the media ten and as soon as I said who you were, he was like, he managed wrestling, so he knew. Yeah. Well I was Roddy Roddy Piper's personal assistant prior to survivor. I've done, I was, I was in teenage wrestling. I've done bringing up on a wres. I just made TMZ doing doing doing a wrestling appearance at a strip club last week. I love that. I mean, you know what Paysabille's brother. You know what's gonna be cool. My last name is Piper. Oh my my, My first born was named Piper after Roddy Roddy Piper.

1:42 Look at that. So see, people my whole life are like, are you related? Yeah? Okay. Roddy Piper's real name was Roderick Toombs. He was born in Winnipeg, not Scotland, so it was all lie and and and uh. I love perpetuating a lie, so let's keep it going. Well, there you go. I love it. And listen. I dated a Piper in high school and we used to joke if we got married, her name be Piper. Piper. Oh wow, I knew a stripper name Piper. Well that's a good stripper name. It's a great stripper. I did not think about when I name my kid. How well did you know her? Though? Intimately I want to see, well, I mean as far as twenty dollars will get you, well, Yeah, it doesn't get you too far in Florida. I can tell you that, Oh this is Portland, Oregon. Get it, Like, yeah, you get the whole works well, third base, there you go, and for an extra five you can steal home. Yeah. I didn't have the extra I didn't win Survivor. Sometimes you're better. Like I've gotten a couple of people on the voice. I'm like, you don't really want to win coming in like second or no I wanted I like, well, I didn't out there, like like, my goal was to create the character Johnny fairplay, keep that, keep that character on television for as long as possible, have creative control of that character. Be the biggest bag I ever I needed, Like why not win the million dollars? Like, like, how dumb am I that I didn't make that one of my five things I needed to do well because you'll make more millions. Now the million I've done pretty pretty pretty well.

3:12 But I would have liked to have started with the million and the and then built on it like that. That was a very strategic flaw in my plan. Did you know that anybody, anybody can make a million dollars easily? You know how how they start with ten. No, well, yes, it's true. You know you'll lose it and you end up with one. Did you ever watch Brewsters Millions? I did with Richard Pryor. So, so right now you're you're in close proxy to Danville, Virginia, home of Wendell Scott, the first black, first black NASCAR driver of all time. When he wasn't driving NASCAR, he was running moonshine and my dad ran one hour of Martinizing and Damner Virginia and used to clean his NASCAR uniforms for free.

4:00 Fast forward post post Wendell Scott's NASCAR career. There's a there's a movie called Grease Lightning, and Richard Pryor plays Wendell Scott. Yeah, that's all from five miles from where you are right now. See what history there? It is amazing. I love it here, Like like we have a bad history as well, but there there's they're like storms that come in and rip up the whole festival.
