Pua Pakele: [00:01:43] All my family feud dreams coming true.

Laura Reid: [00:01:45] Yeah. All right. Number one, if your brand had a theme song, what would it be?

Pua Pakele: [00:01:53] Oh.

Laura Reid: [00:01:55] You haven't thought of that before?

Pua Pakele: [00:01:57] You know what's funny? I do martial arts and I love watching UFC and I'm always like, what would my walkout song be? But it changes, like, every day.
