You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On recently battling skin cancer: “I’m fine. I’m not bloated, I don’t have a f***ing headache. I have a f***ing cut on my face, which will heal, just like the thirty-three other ones I’ve had on my body. I’m going to be fine.”
On what the procedure entailed: “I go into this place and they tell me about the procedure. They say that they’re going to make a hole and they’re going to make sure they cut around and get all the cancer on the first take. I’m laying on this table, in comes this crew that says ground crew and they’ve got that round thing where they change the holes on the green. They stick that motherf****r on my face. He pulls it away, I can smell that they’re cauterizing my f***ing skin, I can smell my skin burning. They pulled back and they show me this wound, and then he takes a pen and makes this crucifix in my face. He was determining on the flexibility of my skin, either they’re going to go east west or north south. They cut north south on me, so they f***ing sew me up and everything. Everybody in the waiting room, everybody has already got some patch on them that’s already been in for round one and they didn’t get it all, so they’re waiting to go back in to get more s*it cut out. If I would have had more s*it than that, I don’t know if I would have a f***ing face.”
On what he thinks is to blame for his diagnosis: “I’m 64 years old, and all of this damage is when we were kids, all of this skin damage is when we were kids. I know exactly why I have these problems, I’ve had several things cut off of me, was the 25-plus years of laying in tanning beds in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and everywhere else that had no sun because we had Monday Night Raw, and there wasn’t an alternative. It wasn’t like spray tans or anything that were effective. When tanning beds first came out, they were saying how they took the burning rays out of it, it was safer than the sun.”

Nash described the procedure he underwent, explaining that the doctors made a hole and cut around to remove all the cancer in one go.

Nash also mentioned that everyone in the waiting room had already undergone a similar procedure and were waiting for further treatment.
When discussing the cause of his skin cancer, Nash attributed it to the damage he experienced as a child. He believes that the majority of his skin damage occurred during his childhood years. He specifically mentioned the 25-plus years he spent laying in tanning beds in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and other places where there was limited sun exposure due to Monday Night Raw tapings.
