• 4:48
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. Literally everything that I would say would happen.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: If I had a fourteen, I'd get to ten. If

  Speaker 2: I had an eleven, I'd get the four for a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: double down, you know what I mean. Just yeah, clockwork.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: It was a It was a wild deal to the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: point too, where we're pushing seven figures at one point
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: and down, up, down, and a buffet comes in, like
• 5:09

• 5:14
  Speaker 3: nice little he takes a break, eats his food, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: he's like, I got to get out of here pretty soon.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I can't do the late night because there's a refel
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: refeel day. Because when I was back here in August
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: for Power Slap, I was on. I mean, I think
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I won seven eight times in a row, and to
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the point where it's getting numb that I was like,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I don't think if you're with me, I don't think
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I can lose.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And then then there's.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Guys there are the night, different circumstances and I end
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: up losing a whole bunch of money, and the fact
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: that you've taken it personal where you're like, we're sitting there,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: he's down. You know, we'll say five hundred. I have
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: no idea what the what the number is. He looks
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: at me, he goes, how about you down? We kind
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: of talk about it a little bit, and he goes,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: We're going to make back all that money, no problem.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: You're in the middle of a war right now. You're
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: talking about the next war that we got to go
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: go through.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It's wild.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: But the way this all started was us meeting at
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the super Bowl and then you're like, hey, you guys
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: should come out to Power Slap and the explosion that
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: has happened with Power Slap, Like, how does did you
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: expect that to go the way it has? You knew
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: it is obviously going to be successful, but it's gone
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to a crazy degree.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: At this Scot looked at it, you know, and I
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: was like, holy fuck, this whole thing doesn't make sense.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: How is this pulling these kind of numbers? And then
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you start to think, well, what if I did it?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Because I know I'm going to do it better than
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: anybody else can do it. What would that mean? And
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: then and then here we are ten months later, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: this thing is a fucking monster. Man, It's just an
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: absolute monster. And we sit here every day and we
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: look at the numbers when we when we when we
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: do an event, whether it was one, two, three, four
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: or five, and the and the stuff that goes gets
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: posted socially, it's just we watch it every day. So
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: it was two days ago, Aj, you know, our little
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: social media queen that runs all the social media for us,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: She's hit me up and she says, uh, yeah, the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Sena post is at one hundred and five million right
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: now and this was how many weeks ago? Huh three
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, it's at one hundred and five million. In
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: three weeks the Sena slap right and we're talking, she goes,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it just went to one hundred and six while we're
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: on the phone. So then that night we had a
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: power Slap meeting. It was at one hundred and ten
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: when we had the meeting that night about Powerslap. So
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: every fucking day the thing goes up millions millions of us.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Is that where a lot of the money and stuff
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: is made is through more social so than the viewing
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: live on rumbo and stuff like that, because I think
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have like a idea that it's like, oh,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: how can it be successful? It's like this isn't that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: great of this and that? But obviously through social media, because.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: You have no idea what you're doing, and you have
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: no idea what you're fucking talking about. All these fucking
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: all you people that are fucking talking shitn't especially the media.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I love the meeting. If the media tells you you've
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: got something that that's gonna fail, it's definitely gonna fucking win.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: The media the dumbest no n nothing, do nothing, never
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: fucking build nothing motherfuckers on planet Earth. So when they
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: say it isn't gonna work, you got a fucking home run, man,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Jump in and grind the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: media these guys. Think about who these people are. When
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you really think about the media, who are they, Where
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: did they come from? Why does their opinion matter? What
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: have they ever done, what have they ever created, what
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: have they ever built? Who's ever depended on a paycheck
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: from the media? Nobody. They are a bunch of fucking
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: zeros that sit around and write stories about people who
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: are actually doing shit. It's fucking fascinating think about it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: It's not a fascinating concept people who have never done
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: a fucking thing in their life ever sit around and
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: write about people who are.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: What got you to that?
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Who gives a flying fuck what any of those zero
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: have to say about anything?
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, absolutely fascinating. So anyway, so no, we we
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: make money off just like any other sports property. We
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: make money off our television rights, we make money off sponsorship,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: we make money off video games, licensing, all that stuff.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I am leaving here when we're done, and I'm striving
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: straight to for Tita Enterprises, and we're doing a huge
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: fucking story about power Slap. But that's bj it is
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the biggest, baddest sports fucking story of the year that
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: nobody fucking knows.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I know that that'll be awesome to read about too.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It's like, from the business standpoint, what's been like, I
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: guess the most exciting thing on making on making that
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: business work with power Slape because you FC and you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: know all these other entertainment businesses, you can kind of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: just see the success based on what the public opinion
• 9:52

• 9:54
  Speaker 1: per view fights, and everything else, Like, what's been challenging
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: or what's been fun about building the business of power
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Slap since you've ACQUI.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: All the things that I love. The negativity, you know,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: when people come out and say this thing sucks, this
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: can't be done, you can't do it. That is the
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: shit that gets me out of bed every day. And
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I love every fucking minute of it. And then the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: end result in shoving it right up everybody's ass. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: fucking love every minute of it. Man. It's the fucking
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: best and the only people I'm really talking to about
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: this thing. There's some guys out there that are that
• 10:30

• 10:39
  Speaker 2: It's what all the sponsors read and everybody else. Monster.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: The other thing that's incredible about this product is when
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: we like even the ads, you know, our sponsors, when
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: we post something that sponsor driven something, you know, UFC
• 10:55

  Speaker 2: We just hit two million. We just hit two million followers.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: So we've done all this under two million followers.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't think people understand like how big
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of a player. Just the social media platforms are right
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: because you're talking about all the views and everything else,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and you get you know, the money that's being paid
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and the platform that you're given on like TikTok and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: everything else. It's like that is where money is, is
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: where everybody's attention is, and that's where you've done a
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: great job like capitalizing with the business.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: That's not even getting into the fact that we're doing
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty million views in India, ninety million
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: in Russia. Fuck, And the list just goes on and
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: on as I pray get into all the different countries.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: So it's like when you talk about, you know, people like, well,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: how do you monetize how that's what we do. That's
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: what we do. That's that's that's my specialties. You take these.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: You know how many times I've been offered. People will
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: call me up and say, hey, would you like to
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: invest in this baseball team? Hey, would you like to
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: invest in?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: You know, uh this we were kicked. We're looking at
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: an NBA team one time, me and the Fetida brothers,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and uh, the answer is no, I don't want anything
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: to do with that shit. You know what I like.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I like taking fringe sports that people think can't be
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: built and think can't be and monetizing those and building
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: them up into you know, the UFC. It's easy for
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: everybody to look back now and go the UFC. Yeah,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: fucking yeah, if you got into the UFC. When we
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: got into the UFC, it was power slab. It was
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: looked at, right, like fucking power slab. It was actually
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: worse because it was actually illegal in some fucking states, right,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It was actually illegal to do. This is how bad
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: it was with the UFC. At that time. You as
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: a grown adult, didn't have the option to buy it
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: on pay per view. Porn was on pay per view.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: The UFC was not allowed on pay per view. That's
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: how fucking bad it was. So to look at the
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: UFC now and go, oh, you have, of course two
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: million dollars for the UFC. Shut the fuck up. You
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: guys have no idea what you're talking about.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: This thingle just hoping, you know, at some point you fail.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: And then when they got a little moment to try
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and grab it and capitalize on it, right about it
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and everything else, it's like, that's the shot everybody tries
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to take.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Well, it gets to a point with me where it's
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: just like, how many more fucking times are you gonna
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: doubt me? And what what I'm capable of doing? You know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: we're doing the same thing right now with throw one.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: We don't throw one. I've told you guys a million times,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you're this. We own ridiculousness. Nitro Circus SLS Skate League,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Travis Pastrano's nitral Cross and we bought that company like
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: a little over a year ago, and they're based in California.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I'm building offices over here right now. We're building them out.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: These guys will be here in the next couple of
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: months and I'll be involved in that. I'm already involved
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: in the daily but we'll be really all than that
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: in the daily when we when we get it over here,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: get it out of California and get it here in Vegas,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: and our literally my office connects to their offices. So
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: we're gonna that's gonna be a really fun project over
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the next couple of years.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I've shown them a bunch of interest.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: I grew up on Nitro, Circus, Supercross, all that stuff.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: That was like the first love of mine before I
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: got into organized sports.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And all that.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: But you talk about the mindset and how your essential
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: hate for mainstream media, When did you learn about the
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: ins and outs because obviously, like this has been you've
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: been in the business forever of these these fringe sports
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: and making them what they are today. How did you
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: kind of adapt to the world with Internet and all that, Like,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: how did how did your mindset change as you kept going.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I love the Internet, I'm all about I love
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: that we can talk directly to our fans with no middlemen.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Nothing worse than than trying to, you know, do what
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: you do and going through a middleman. And uh, you know,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: everything that I really do right now is direct to
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: consume or I go directly to our consumers and talk
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: to the people that that that want to listen. And realistically,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: when you look at it right now, the two most
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: hated people on the planet right now are the media
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: and politicians.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody trusts them, nobody likes them. Uh, they know
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: that most of them are lying. And there's never been
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a better time for social media than now. And like
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I said, in every way, shape and form and every
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: business that we own, I talk directly to our consumers.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: When you you brought up politicians and you're on the
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: you're on uh this past weekend recently with theovon and
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: he brought up like an RFK interview I believe it was,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: and then a Peloton reached out and said, hey, you
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: can't have him on there, and you you essentially went
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: on a rant like you did with us about hating
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the mainstream media, how you can't tell people what to do.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Here, tell me.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: About that process last night with the Pelotons and all
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: these other bike companies, Like when did you learn that
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: you had the hour to essentially take away from people
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: saying what you can and can't do in your business?
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: COVID Yeah, I mean I knew it before then but
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: where really, you know, never, Well, you know, we went
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: through the whole UFC thing first, Yeah, I mean people,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you know, the mainstream media is shitting all over the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: UFC and how it should be banned and this shouldn't
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: exist and blah blah blah blah blah. Then then here
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: comes COVID. You got the you know, fucking goofy New
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: York Times and all these other fucking clowns, uh, you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: coming out talking shit blasting me every day. They don't matter.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: They don't matter, and they don't have the influence or
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: the power that they think they do. You know, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: you can come out and say whatever you want about me,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: and go do whatever you want about me. You you
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: determine your future, not people like this. It's like that
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: whole fucking cancel culture bullshit and all this stuff that
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: goes on. You just just got to say fuck you.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: And that seems like you get a thrill out of it. Honestly,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: like people trying to come at you is your face.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if I get a thrill out
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: of it, but it's it's what if you want to
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: pick a fight with me, let's fucking go.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go. Yeah, taking everything head on. Seems like
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: you're a way about doing everything that does.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Seem like guys that come out and do these things
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: that that do these stories on you. Right, Who are you?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: What have you done? And are you perfect?
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: You?
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Never fucked up, never made mistakes, got any skeletons in
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: your closet? Of course they do, you know, of course
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: they do every We're all fucking human. We've all done
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: My New Year's Eve ins in it. Fucking did it happened?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: No excuses, no fucking you know. I could have tried
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: to make up tennis. There's no fucking excuse. I did it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I admit it, I accept it. Now what I gotta
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: do is I gotta get up every day and I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: gotta at the end of the day, you have to
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: live with you. Fuck everybody else and what their opinion
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: is of you. You have to know who you are
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: and you have to be able to live with yourself.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: I got three fucking kids that I love more than anything,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, And I embarrass them last
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: New Year's Eve, I embarrass myself. I embarrass my kids,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So you got to get
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: up and you got to look in the fucking mirror,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: say I fucked up? And how do I make sure
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: this never happens again? Ever? And that's it. I mean,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: you're you're only You're only fucking uh. You know, the
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: only one that you have to answer to is yourself
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: and the people that care about you and love you
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: and your you know, fuck everybody else.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: No, And uh, I think it's I think it's cool
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: that you're talking about it, because my question is when
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you are going through that, like, how difficult was that moment?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Because you're somebody, you'll stand up, you'll stand in the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: batter's box, you'll swing with the best of them. You
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: kind of seem like you can't you can't chip the armor.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: But when you're cut, you have these philosophies you go
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: by because everybody human, like you said, like talk about
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: those times where it like it is super difficult things
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that you lean on. Maybe it's people, maybe it's you
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: have a mentor maybe it's a circle, maybe it's just
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: your family. Like talk about the low part.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: There's nobody but you you find out who's who and
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: what's what. When shit hits the fan. I say it
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: all the time. You know you'll see the people that
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: will reach out to you see if you're good, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: the people who won't. It's all good whatever, But the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: only one that you have to fucking worry about is you,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: you yourself, because it's about you. You fucked up? Are you?
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Are you willing to fucking accept the fact that you
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: messed up? And and you have to fix this? You
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: are the one that has to get up every day
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: and look in the mirror and say that I that
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I do right, that I do wrong? How do I
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: how do I make myself that every day? I have
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: this Bruce Lee quote everywhere in my house and the
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: gym in here and everything about how man every day
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: when you got out of Basically what this quote says
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: is every day when you get out of bed, your
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: your your stride, and your your your game plan should
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: be to be better than you worry yesterday day right.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: And you will have hit plateaus, but you must break
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: through them and you must succeed to the next level.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: And I fucking love that shit. That is exactly how
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I live every day of my life, whether it's my
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: workout now, my health, my business, my relationships, my family.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: How do you make sure that you're better than you
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: were yesterday. And when you get into these situations like
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I was in on New Year's Eve, it's like, so
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: you can do two things. You can run and fucking hide,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: curl up in a ball and let the world just
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: fucking beat you to death. Or you can dig your
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: fucking heels in you figure out how to you know,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: you have to figure out yourself, and then you fucking
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you dig in, you fight. I literally the day we
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: got back from Mexico, I had a quote installed on
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: my wall. It says, may God have mercy upon my enemies,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: because I won't. So let's fucking go.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, it's a gambling creative for at the bus
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: made God have mercy on the sports. But but you guys,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I won't.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: But you've seen these guys, uh, you know who make
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: mistakes and fuck up and do whatever, and the world
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: comes after them and they just disappear and they roll
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: over and they bow down to whatever the fucking the
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: crowd mentality wants from you. You know what I mean.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: We're at the end of the day, we all make mistakes,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: and we're all human. But if you know who you
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: really fucking are, and you you know, you don't have
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: to explain yourself to the rest of the world. You
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: have to explain yourself and make things right with the
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: people that are in your inner circle and that of
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: your family. But at the end of the day, you
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: have to fucking stick up for yourself if you believe
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: in you know what I mean. I see guys that
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: that take just a little bit of heat and the
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: fucking wheels come off the bus and they you know that,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: they run and hide its building, the UFC going through
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: COVID building. Slap. I am not the run and hide
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: fucking guy. Yes, that's just not who I am.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: And I will never be moving moving forward like it
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: seems like that's all you're focused on, is all that
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: And you've really taken your health like the next level.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: You've seen it.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: When we first met you at the Super Bowl this
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: past year, you were showing us photos of you and
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Sloppy guy just kind of seem like you're eating whatever,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: doing whatever, and you've ever you've been singing it, right,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I mean right photos. I mean he always kind of
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: a built cat, but you you know there was some background.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: You call me sloppy, come on here, yeah, sloppy those photos.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: But you talk about Gary bre this podcast, you talk.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: About Gary Brecaman and how he has essentially changed your life.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: How did you get on board with a guy like that?
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: How did that whole process happen for you.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: It's a girl named Kerry case I don't know if
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: you guys are probably too young, but Casey Casem used
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: to have a radio show called Casey Kasem's Top forty.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Every week he broke down the top forty uh songs
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: in the country. He was also the voice for Scooby
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Doo No Shaggy Shaggy on Scooby Doo and uh, you know.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: His daughter and I have been friends for for for
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: many years and she's, uh, she's hardcore, but she's kind
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: of a hippie, you know what I mean. She says
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: into all the holistic shit. I didn't believe in that
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: stuff two years ago. I thought it was all a
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: crock of shit. Now it's all I believe in. I'm
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: one of these guys. Show me, prove it to me.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: You're telling me that it's this way, but you have
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: to prove it to me. So I finally decide to
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: hook up with this guy because he was doing IVS.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: My son. We went down to Miami, for his twenty
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: first birthday, so we needed IV people because we're down
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: there doing whatever. And he comes in with his team
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and he does my blood work. When he walked me
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: through my blood work, guy had no medical history on
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: me or my family or anything. He told me everything
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: that was wrong with me, and he told me what
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: was wrong with my parents, and he was dead on right,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: and it was a really trippy experience. And he basically said,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: if you listen to me for the next twelve weeks,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I'll change your whole life. And I was like, I
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: can do anything for twelve weeks, so I went in.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: It didn't even take twelve weeks, and four weeks I
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: started to feel different order to feel better, and some
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: of the things that were wrong when me started to
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: go away and all this other shit, and then I'm
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: so in on this right now. This guy called me
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: right now said fucking squirt hot sauce in your eyes,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: and you know I would fucking do it right. Yeah.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: This guy is a genius and I've seen him help
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: not just me, but so many other people, including people
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: that are close to me. So he is the real
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: fucking deal. And again, you go out on the internet
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: and you hear other people, you know whatever, talk about
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: this guy's a scam artists and this camera. Okay, then
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: don't do it right. Everybody's fucking telling you to fucking
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: do this. Go see your doctor. That fucking works out
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: for you. Good luck to you.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because you had a uh you had a
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: video recently too. Uh hey listen, not a doctor. I'm
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: not telling you guys do this, do that, whatever. But
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: you did this waterfast and now I'm fascinated from this waterfast.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: What was eighty six I did.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Eighty six hours, but it's a seventy two hour fast
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: and uh, basically it's all water. So this is actually
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: this was done by doctors. They they've got studies that
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: are done on this out of Boston where if you
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: water fast for seven days, it gives you an over
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: seventy percent chance of not getting cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: many many other nasty shit. They've they've done a study
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: in animals and humans. So I talked to Gary about it,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: and Gary's like, it's absolutely legit, but you don't have
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: to do seven days. You can do seventy two hours.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: And you walk me through how to do it and
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: what's crazy about is when you do it, you get
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: absolutely fucking shredded. You get so ripped.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I saw the before and after, but that's.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Not even what it's about. It's about the inside is
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: what you're doing for. So you know, there's all these
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: philosophies and listen again, I'm no doctor and whatever. I
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: just regurgitate what I'm told. And this was from the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: doctors from from Boston. So it's like cold plunging. When
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you go in into cold plunging, you put your body
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: through adversity. Right, you're in fifty degree water for three minutes.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Your body starts to think it's dying, and your body
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: fights back. So your liver secretes this shock protein that's
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: incredible for your body, inflammation, anti age, all kinds of shit. Right,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: you do that every day, you become absolutely addicted to it.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: So when you do the water fast, basically what happens
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: is when you stop eating, your body starts trying to
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: defend itself. Are we starving? Are we this? Are we that?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: So it starts shedding all the bad dead cells in
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: your body and it starts generating new cells, and it
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: starts to fight. Are we gonna starve? Are we going
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: to this that, and that's how it fights cancer and
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: all these other nasty illnesses. How does that not make sense?
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: And then when you talk about fasting and you talk
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: about where we come from and how we've evolved, right
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: back in the day, they would go out and hunt
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: and kill something. Right, there was no refrigeration, there was
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: no freezer. You went back and you ate the food
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: and you didn't eat again until you hunt it again. Yeah, right,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: So these people would essentially fast until they hunted again.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: And and eight, how does that not make sense either?
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: And when you're sitting on the couch on a podcast
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: and you're fucking talking about this, you're like Jesus Christ,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I could not eat for seventy
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: two hours, I mean two years Dana, two years ago
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: would have said, that's fucking ridiculous. Why would I not
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: eat for three fucking days unless not without a deserted
• 27:15

• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I do the red light, and then I do my workout.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: And on the days, because I work out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 29:50

  Speaker 3: So when you if you're somebody listening to this podcast
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: falling on a budget, are what's like the number one
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: thing to you? If you're like, if you want to
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: just change one thing and do it consistently, what would
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: that be?
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: And that is the hard part, and it's the thing
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: that kills me is because I talk about this so much,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: because I want to share this with other people, and
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I want people that are listening to know when you're
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: seeing that doctor and the shit that you're telling him
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: is wrong with you and they can't fix it, and
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: it never gets better, but they just keep adding more
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: and more pills to your fucking pile that you're taking,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: and it makes you feel even shittier. There is hope
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: you don't have to feel this way. There are and
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: there's other guys out there, like Gary Breca. Right, there's
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: a guy. Will you go grab that book that's on

• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the books that I have. Nicole has one bringing in
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: here cause people that can't afford Gary Breca. I always
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: tell people to watch Gary's podcast. He's at Gary Breca
• 30:57

• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Everybody tells me this book is incredible, and I buy
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: this book and I give it to people, and I
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: do this because I want to share this with with people.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: But like like the pad that I put in my bed,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Gary says, you take your shoes off and you walk
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: in the grass and it's electricity exactly from from from
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: the Earth's and and then and then, uh, if you
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: don't have a cold plunch, jump in your fucking pool
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: when it's cold out, or or put some ice in
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: a bucket, uh, you know, in a barrel in cold plunch,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: cold shower, all these type of things that you can do.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: The red light therapy, get out in the sun even
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: when it's cold out. Gary always talks about first sun
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: in the morning is the best. And you know this.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: So there's alternatives like this, and then there's this book.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: This book is called Outlive. I'm gonna give everybody in
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: here one too. I just bought ten more. I never
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: met this guy, don't know this guy. I make no
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: money off the shit. I make no money off any
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: of the ship and in fact, I pay Gary Brecca.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Uh full boat. Okay, I'm telling you this, and I'm
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: saying this to you because you can tell that it's
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I'm super passionate about it and it's real. It works.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: But this is called Outlive, the Science of Art in
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: the Art of Longevity. Peter Atia sorry if I'm butchering
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: your name, buddy, Peter Atiya, MD. Everybody tells me that
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: this book is incredible, and even Gary. That's the other
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: thing that I love about Gary Breca. Gary Brekat doesn't
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: shit on other people and go no, no, no, only
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: my stuff will do this. Gary's like, this guy is brilliant,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: this guy's good, and this guy knows exactly what he's
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: talking about. Gary is that type of guy. So there
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: you go outlive. If you can't afford to do a
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: lot of this stuff, check out Gary's podcast and his
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: stuff and read Outlive by Peter Atiya.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I think this is a lot about Breca, the way
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: he doesn't the way he say he doesn't talk about
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: other people. I've worked with some people like doing the
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: blood work and all that, trying to stay ahead of
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: the chains with football, and it seemed like most of
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: the people I worked with, if I brought up somebody else,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: they're like, no, fuck that guy, because everyone at the
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: end of the day is trying to make money as well.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: But I hear breck on you know the Rogan podcasts,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: and you think about the rivalries within the game that
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: people are living, and he talks about Andrew Heuberman, He's like,
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: guy's awesome. Guy understands his shit, like he knows what
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: he's doing. So that says that probably says a lot
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: about him.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: The first thing, honestly, other than when this guy started
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: walking through the blood work. First thing I noticed about
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: him other doctors, and he says, listen, it's not listen
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: when doctors go they don't study human biology the way
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: that they used to and everything else. He works with
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: doctors to work everybody who has other opinions. He's like, no,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: that's it. He doesn't shit on anybody ever, Like, no, no, no,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: not that guy. My way. Gary is the exact opposite.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: It's one of the things that I extremely respect about
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: the guy. Yeah, so he speaks very highly of this guy.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: When you talk about Breca and he gave you like
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: when you're essentially gonna die, he said you had like
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: ten eleven years to live.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Ten point four.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: What was like your first thought when you heard that,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: was it still in your mind, this is the guy's
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: a load of shit, like you have to show me?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Or was that like the wake up thing.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: No, it wasn't a wake up because I wasn't a
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: believer yet make me believe then I'll say, oh shit,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I got ten years left. So then after I started
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: doing his stuff, you know, you know what, I believe.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: I believe I didn't have that line. I think Gary
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: was being nice. I don't think I had ten point
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: four years I was fucking bad, and I think that,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: you know, there might be a lot of people out
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: there listening right now that you know, when you're a
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: man and you got shit going on with you, fucking
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: deal with it.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Boohoo.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: My fucking legs are fucked up by this. That try
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: to talk to a doctor, that don't fix you. It's
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: just like, there's two things. Number one, I'm a man.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I gotta do what I gotta do. I gotta get
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: up every day and deal with life. Yeah, number one.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: And number two, maybe this is how fucking fifty feels.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I'm fifty, now, this is how fifty feels. It must be,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: you know, that's what you start to think. It is
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: the furthest thing from the truth. And now I tell
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Gary all the time, I'm like, I feel fucking incredible.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: I feel twenty. And he's like, no, you don't. You don't,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: you don't feel incredible. This is what normal feels like.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: This isn't incredible. This is normal. This is what you're
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: supposed to feel like. And it's all fascinating. He's a
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: fascinating dude. I hope that this dude lives to be
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: a fucking hundred because a lot of people need him.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a book called Lifespan where a guy talks
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: about that, like if you can do fasting and do
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: basic things like and you can start to feel that
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: normally you're talking about like one hundred, one hundred and
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: ten is like the essentially the new seventy, and like
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: so on and so forth.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Seventy is the new forty and all that.

  Speaker 3: seems more cautious in a lot of ways. In the
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: simple simplest fact is when we get to the analytical
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: because we'll sit there able to hey, you man, you play,

  Speaker 3: this thing rolling. But he's a he's an awesome cat.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I A casino is Uh, You've got to go through
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of bullshit to try to casino, and you should.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: You should, So being fuck that ship. I want nothing
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: to do with that bullshit. That's like a running for office.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: So basically, the government can come into your house at
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: any point in time, go through your safe, go through
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: your phone, go through all your personal fucking records. You know,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: all this shit the game. What people don't realize is
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: the gaming industry is incredibly regulated by the government, you
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. So when you go in there,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: like some nights, when you're in there, you would feel
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: like I always talk about this back in the wild
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: wild West. You have played enough now to see that
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: sometimes when these fucking cards flip, you're like, how is
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: this even fucking numerically possible that this could fucking happen
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: this way? So, but I think back in the cowboy days,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: when guys were really fucking stupid and had no education,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: hot headed, everybody carried fucking guns. Imagine being a dealer
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: or a casino owner back in those days, and you
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: see these cards flipping the way that people had to
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: die back then, you guys I fucking dealer because they
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: thought they were cheating. It's impossible. But the reality is
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: when you play these games and the way these cards flip,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: it is the most regulated ship in this country. All
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: these games are square and on the up and up
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: and and all the cameras and the government is paying
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: attention to everything. It's very, very regulated. So to get
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: a license in gaming, you gotta go through hell.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: It's not that's not worth your time. Fuck that, you're
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: you're more build brands, sell them, move on.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: On the guy's not at the table. I would rather
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: play against you. Yeah, it's it's just my thing. It's
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: what I love to do. And you know, you have
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: people Black Hunter and many other people like, why the
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: fuck does this guy? You doesn't need to get because
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: I like it. That's fucking Whyney business other than I
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: like every night exactly, It's what I like to do.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: When's the last time you didn't bet a max bet
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: and black jack?
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: It's just it doesn't exist. Oh, he counts cards, he
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: does this, he does that. I bet the same fucking
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: amount every hand. I bet the max every hand.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't just bet the max every hand. You're
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: also a psychopath the way I was watching you, because essentially,
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: when you get down the way you were last night,
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: you have to rely on the doubles and the splits
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: to get you back on track. And there was a
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: couple of times, you know, we're looking at a pair
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: of twos versus a king and you're like, fuck it
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: in the classical light, let's gamble, and then you're doubling
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: whatever going after it, and it obviously worked in your favor.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Is it just a feel thing though?
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just you have to mix it up. You know,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: when we're in this we're in this fucking loop that
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: we were in last night. I was it true? Is
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: it not true? That I would tell you what was
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: going to happen? So we were just talking about before
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: it fucking happened, I told you what was going to happen.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: So you know, yes, for the most part, you played
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: by the book, but overall you play by your gut,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: and there's times when you have to do shit that
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense because nothing is making sense when you
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: have the amount of twenties that we had last night
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: and we won none of them. When you have the
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: amount of double downs that we had and we won
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: none of them. If I had a fourteen, I was
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: absolutely positively getting the fucking ten. If I had an eleven,
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: we're absolutely getting the four, right right, I mean all night,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: So when that kind of goofy shit is happening over
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: and at fucking one point, I don't know if you
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: remember this, but uh, fucking what's his name? Orlando? Yeah?
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Played right, John Orlando played, He got fucking murdered. Then
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: we started playing. We got the same fucking hands that
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Orlando got, the same cards, same up against. Everything was
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: exactly the same. Yeah, like we were fucking caught in
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: the matrix and it was a it was a fucking
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: glitch and the matrix it was fucking crazy.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: There was he started playing. And sometimes you play where
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: you just have the cards down. I don't know if
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: you just enjoy it more the thrill of everybody else
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: washing and no one know what's going on. And I
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: would was sitting right next to him, like well, I
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: could see the cards and he'd have six, like a
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: two and a four, and the dealer would be showing
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: a four, and he would just stay no hit, no
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: rhyme or reason, and then the dealer would bust And
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: is the crazy the goofy shit you're talking about? So
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: as you're taking that ten, all of a sudden.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Dead on, you're fucking absolute. So when you're in this
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: fucking loop and this ship's go went on, I have
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: the second.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: He gets the crazy.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Every time you hit that six, right, it's a four
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: to two, right you hit it, it's the fucking ten.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: So most of the time when ship's going goofy, I
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: will stay on the six. I will stay on you know,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: hands like that, and the dealer normally, but how many
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: how many times you see it last night. I think
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: it was probably exactly five or six, and I think
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: I lost one.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: And the ones you won then just stay on six.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: It was kind of like a look at this fucking
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: move and the one you lost you kind of flip it, but.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: The dealers will flip it over and go what Yeah, Yeah, it.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Was so in the moment. He's doing his mannerisms at
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: the table too, with the card swipe and everything else.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: And the thing that here's what blows me away about
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: you is we've had conversations about people when other situations
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: have happened, and ESPNS and these other companies are calling
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: you saying we want this guy out, and you're like,
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: all right, then we're out that type of how did
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: you become an individual or have you always been like
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: the where you're choosing people over business because you meet
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: people with money and there's a level of narcissism or
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: something where they are so solely focused on their success
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: that they don't care about other people's success, and it
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: seems like you were the exact opposite. I've been at
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: the table with you where you've handed me money. Just
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: last night's perfect example. Kyle from the Milk boys, he's
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: down fifty, you're fucking around, you're on a hot streak.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: You're like, hey give me thirty, bing bang boom, here
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: here's thirty. And you kind of do that ware like
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: what is that company? Has that always been you? Or
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: is it because you're the position you're in now and
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: you understand people.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: I don't ever choose money over people ever. Ever. I
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: don't know how to explain it, but I will never choose.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: It's just like, you know, this business, The best example
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: I can give you is going through COVID is no
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: matter what goes on, we're going to go through a
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: lot of hard times. We went through the uh you know,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: the crash in eight nine. There's been other things that
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: have happened in our business going up with one year
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: we had every fucking main event and fall out or
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: comain event with injuries and it was a rough pay
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: per view year. And you know, we've had times that
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: back in the day when we didn't know if we
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: were going to break covenants and shit like that. We
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: never laid our people off. I will fucking I look
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: at every day when I get up out of bed
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: and I go to work, I'm going to war there's
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: people coming to fucking take shots at us and try
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: to take us down, whether it's the fucking media or
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: these people. Of those people and all these people that
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: are in this building strap up and go to battle
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: with me every day. So the UFC is this fucking battleship, right,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: and we're cruising and we're fighting the fight every day.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Some people have been here for ten, fifteen, twenty years, right,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: And COVID was the perfect example because we've never found
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've never been through a time that was
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: as scary as COVID. Are we going to die? Is
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: the whole world going to collapse? Is this gonna happen?
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Is that gonna happen? Now? I'm I'm the leader in
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: this organization, right, I am the guy who is Uh.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: My job description is to run the business through the good,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: the bad, the ugly, all this shit. But I take
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: care of my people. My people depend on a paycheck
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: every week for me. So the way that I am
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: what most businesses will do. You saw it a lot
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: through COVID. You see a lot when when they're going
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: through hard times. The way that you stay that that
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: that you make it a lot easier as you you
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: start fucking getting rid of people. So you put bullets
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: on all these people, and you know, then your your
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: costs go down, and you manage the business to do whatever.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: This is a fucking battleship, and we're either all going
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: down together or not going down at all. That's just
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: the way that I'm fucking wired and the way that
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: I look at it, And and when I look at
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: my employees, I expect a lot from them. Right. This
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: place is a fucking grindhouse. It's a hamster wheel. Every
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: fucking Saturday, we're putting on a fight. As soon as
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: that fight is over, we started promoting the next fight
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: on Monday. Right, So think about this, and this is
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: the way that I look at it. How many games
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: have they missed that their kids played, how many performances
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: have they missed that their kids performed in at school?
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: How many hours did they miss playing with their fucking
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: kids and all this kind of shit. These are the
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: things that I think about. And we hit some hard times,
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: we hit a rocket roll, and that's it. You're just
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: a fucking number. You're you're you're a You're a fucking
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: number to the bottom line, because that's basically what these
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: companies do. They go down and they look at the people,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: and if you make the most money, you're probably the
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: one that's in the most risk.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Or there's multiple people to do your job or whatever.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: And what goes out the window is all the shit
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: that you've done for the company, right, all goes out
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: right out the fucking window. Fuck that shit, not with me.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: I don't forget. I don't ever forget. I always remember
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: who was here, and who did what, and and and
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: and then the people that I don't even know what
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: they did, I know what they did. You know what
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, because I know what we do here, and
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: and and I will never pick money over people.
