Steve Austin On If He’s Considered Doing More Interviews

Steve Austin says that he’s thought about doing interviews again, but he says he’s got too much stuff going on in order to give it the time it deserves. Austin has previously said that he was considering a return to podcasting. He hosted the interview podcast The Steve Austin Show, which came to an end in 2020.

Austin was asked on Busted Open Radio whether he’s still thinking about going back into interviewing people. He noted that he thought about it but has too much other stuff going on. You can see the highlights below:

On If He’s Thought About Doing Interviews Again:

“Man, I thought about trying to get back into it, but I got a lot of stuff going on the side. I mean hell, I found out — I retired for a minute and I’m still retired, I’m retired from from the WWF or from from wrestling. But man, I’m as busy now as I’ve ever been just doing stuff that I’m trying to do.

“So to try to put in the the time and effort to do an interview and do research, it’s just — you know, there’s phases in your life where you do things. And there was a phase in my life where I lived in LA for 19 years. Hell, I can’t believe I made it over there for 19 years, but I did it. So at this phase in my life, I’m focused on racing. I’m focused on the beer business. I’m focused on the solid ass cats and hunting with my brother-in-law. I just have a lot of things going on that that’s not where I’m at right now.”

On Still Being Beloved By the Fanbase:

“Don’t get me wrong, man. They make all these memes on IG and I’ll put one on my stories or whatever. So, I get a chance to relive that s**t every here and there. And I don’t do it to be an egoomaniac, but s**t, people are making them and that’s what I was known for. I’ll post them on on my Instagram. So it’s cool to see that stuff and remember the good times and the pops and the camaraderie, and just the lifestyle.

“Man, that was the best job I ever had. And you, know it’s over and it’s been over for a long time, so I have moved on. But it’s cool to see some of the s**t that they put together.”
