Speaker 1: because when you do, we have callbacks to those things.
3:19
Speaker 1: We have some callbacks. I'll give you an example of
3:20
Speaker 1: one real quick. This is from Rick Underscore LMN. Imagining
3:25
Speaker 1: Taylor getting pumped up to Azula Dying and then going
3:28
Speaker 1: out in the field and putting a dude in the
3:30
Speaker 1: first row got me juice. What's he referring to. He's
3:33
Speaker 1: referring to last week's intro. We're talking about best pump
3:36
Speaker 1: ups that we could possibly have to go into a
3:38
Speaker 1: football game, a sporting event. And if you don't know
3:40
Speaker 1: what Azula Dying is, that's a hardcore metal band. We're
3:43
Speaker 1: talking double bass on the feet right there. We're talking
3:44
Speaker 1: guys screaming in your ear a little bit, a little bit,
3:46
Speaker 1: I hate my parents type of music. That's the kind
3:48
Speaker 1: of stuff that gets you cooked up all right, makes
3:51
Speaker 1: you want to see somebody in the in the first second, hell,
3:53
Speaker 1: even the third row of any stadium arena that you
3:56
Speaker 1: might be in. So shout out rich underscore l M.
4:00
Speaker 1: And this one comes from a long one per Augusta
4:03
Speaker 1: ad AUGUSTA seven out of six, seven, six to two.
4:08
Speaker 1: Eric Church is the fucking man. Yeah, we're cool like that,
4:10
Speaker 1: we can curse on the show. Truly a man's man.
4:13
Speaker 1: His UNC graduation commencement speech was phenomenal, awesome interview. Guys,
4:20
Speaker 1: Like I said, there's probably a lot of UFC fighters
4:22
Speaker 1: joining us right now. You probably have a lot of
4:24
Speaker 1: different generals. We just talked about hardcore metal. The guest
4:26
Speaker 1: we had last week was Eric Church, this country singer.
4:30
Speaker 1: The way he waxes poetically, the way he talks, you've
4:32
Speaker 1: probably seen the viral clip of him doing a UNC
4:35
Speaker 1: commencement speech was absolutely amazing, absolutely incredible. He comes on
4:39
Speaker 1: hearing the stories that he's telling about him just I guess,
4:44
Speaker 1: just like someone wronged him. So there's a chip on
4:47
Speaker 1: his shoulder. He gets cut from a tour, so he
4:49
Speaker 1: decides to go to every single tour spot and play
4:52
Speaker 1: at the bar next to the arena. I mean, that's
4:54
Speaker 1: the level of petty. I want to be around this guy.
4:57
Speaker 1: And if you don't know about Eric Church, I suggest
4:59
Speaker 1: you put on a song it's called Mixed Drinks about
5:01

6:42
Speaker 1: up about the opportunity for MMA, UFC, the entire mixed
6:48
Speaker 1: martial arts of fighting sports genre to have a platform
6:52
Speaker 1: like that. Not knowing that we were going to be
6:54
Speaker 1: on Paramount plus all the things. Fast forward a couple
6:57
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, I'm thinking to myself, Hey, this may
6:59
Speaker 1: not happening. This may actually happen. This is only like
7:02
Speaker 1: thirty one hundred people on the White House lone. Maybe
7:04
Speaker 1: I'm getting the acts on this. And to be honest
7:06
Speaker 1: with you, boys, I would have been okay with it.
7:08
Speaker 1: Would it have hurt, yes, well we have stuffed it
7:10
Speaker 1: deep down inside, there's no doubt about it. But it
7:14
Speaker 1: was like, how cool is this opportunity? Friends success. It's
7:18
Speaker 1: just awesome to see this spectacle going down. I get
7:21

7:34
Speaker 1: and I'm like, holy shit, we have to make this happen.
7:36
Speaker 1: This is two weeks away. We immediately start figuring out.
7:39
Speaker 1: Willie Boy obviously had all obligations that he had to
7:41
Speaker 1: go do so there was a lot of moving pieces.
7:44
Speaker 1: But who better than Willy C and our UFC confident
7:48
Speaker 1: JP Hovey to go and tackle this incredible, incredible event.

8:15
Speaker 4: This is not a Yeah, district of Columbia.
8:18

8:31
Speaker 7: It's just not open yet. But that is a phenomenal restaurant,
8:36
Speaker 7: whole level better than Kava.
8:38
Speaker 1: And and I. I can paint the picture any man. Well,
8:41
Speaker 1: listening to the show, you guys sitting in the back,
8:44
Speaker 1: you got three males in a car trying to make
8:47
Speaker 1: a game plan because the idea is this, we had
8:49
Speaker 1: to get to the hotel. We have suits in our
8:51
Speaker 1: hands because I found out a day before. I had
8:55
Speaker 1: Nicole on the side of Hey, I'm thinking about going
8:57
Speaker 1: classical lawan black T shirt, black pants, it's maybe a
9:01
Speaker 1: pair of boots as my business casual wear to the
9:04
Speaker 1: White House. Should I wear a suit? Reply? Yes, wear
9:07
Speaker 1: a suit. Okay, So we're wearing suits to this thing.
9:10
Speaker 1: I own two suits. One is but the color of
9:12
Speaker 1: Sherman's hat right there. The other one is classic men
9:16
Speaker 1: in black tie suit. So it's like we're gonna go
9:19
Speaker 1: black suit. I'm looking like cigaret service of this thing.
9:22
Speaker 1: So we have our suits, We're in this car. I've
9:24
Speaker 1: never been to Washington, DC before. I don't know the layout,
9:27
Speaker 1: the geography of what takes place. So we're trying to
9:29
Speaker 1: figure out what are we gonna do. Do we put
9:31
Speaker 1: the suits on, then we go eat? Do we go
9:34
Speaker 1: eat first, then go see the monuments, and then put
9:37
Speaker 1: our suits on and then go to this Oh, by
9:39
Speaker 1: the way, Michael Chandler's fighting. We gotta go see our boy.
9:41
Speaker 1: There's a lot of moving parts of this whole thing,
9:45
Speaker 1: and then we kind of discuss it and nothing really happens. Luckily,
9:48
Speaker 1: I think we made the right decision. We made the
9:50
Speaker 1: right We made the right decision, and the right decision
9:52
Speaker 1: was this. We get to Will's Hotel, we drop our
9:56
Speaker 1: stuff off real quick, and then we go to just
9:58
Speaker 1: hey quick spot to eat in a happened to be
10:00
Speaker 1: Sweet Greens, which we just got the breaking news on that,
10:03
Speaker 1: which is amazing. We go to the spot. Dude, think
10:06
Speaker 1: of like kava if you've had it, think about Chipotle,
10:09
Speaker 1: because everyone's had Chipotle. You set up they have the
10:12
Speaker 1: if you can't think for yourself menu. You can pick
10:14
Speaker 1: out from these items right here, and there's the make
10:17
Speaker 1: it yourself type of thing. It's like a salad healthy
10:19
Speaker 1: yachemoa rice, all sorts of chickens and steaks and either
10:22
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a fish or not, and
10:23
Speaker 1: then a bunch of toppings and sauces. Buddy, incredible. Like
10:29
Speaker 1: I know, it's like a fast casual place and there's
10:31
Speaker 1: nothing to really rave about. But I funk with sweet greens.
10:35
Speaker 1: I would that's a place that I would go, like,
10:37
Speaker 1: I would eat there five times a week.
10:39
Speaker 5: And saw a Titans fan on the way.
10:40
Speaker 1: In, which is wild. They're just like they're just out there.
10:45

10:55
Speaker 1: eat my greens.
10:56
Speaker 5: Guy.
10:57
Speaker 1: All right, you have the white rice, you have the
10:58
Speaker 1: chemoa and there was like a lens till I believe.
11:00
Speaker 1: All right, So you have the options though there on
11:03
Speaker 1: your on your carbohydrates followed by the proteins. I thought
11:05
Speaker 1: the protein. I got this black and chicken nice I
11:08
Speaker 1: think it was. It wasn't dry like you could eat
11:11
Speaker 1: that just fine, and you're like, oh, this is this
11:13
Speaker 1: is well cooked, delicious chicken topics, everything from front to bottom.
11:17
Speaker 1: They have a fun list on a chalkboard telling you
11:19
Speaker 1: from all the farms local in the United States, farms
11:22
Speaker 1: that where they get the broccoli from where they get
11:24
Speaker 1: by the way, the broccoli was incredible. Wouldn't you know
11:26
Speaker 1: it was from Arizona. They had a bunch of places
11:29
Speaker 1: of farms. Sauce is incredible. Overall, I'd give it a
11:34
Speaker 1: four point five. Overall, I give it a four point five.
11:37
Speaker 1: So we we mrk down the sweet greens, we go
11:40
Speaker 1: back to Willie's place, and then it's like school board Taylor,
11:44
Speaker 1: he want I want to see some some monuments. I
11:46

11:55
Speaker 1: right because my patriotic bone is buzzing right now. I'm
11:58
Speaker 1: feeling some type of way about that. So this is
12:01
Speaker 1: where I think we could have we still had to
12:04
Speaker 1: do it. There's no way we could have done it

Speaker 5: y'all can't stop us, and everyone's like, it's the weather.
23:07
Speaker 1: It's the weather. We don't get to this side. Find
23:09
Speaker 1: it a little weird though. Elon must becomes a trillion
23:12
Speaker 1: the other All of a sudden, weather goes around the UFC.
23:14
Speaker 1: If it that's all I'll say about saying saying, I'm
23:18
Speaker 1: just pointing something out to the people. I'm not a
23:21
Speaker 1: guy that looks into things. I'm a guy who just
23:22
Speaker 1: observes things. Oh shit, that's kind of crazy. Maybe we
23:24
Speaker 1: should say something about that and move on. So I'll
23:27
Speaker 1: move on from that. So he speaks for a little bit. Dude.
23:30
Speaker 6: Uh.
23:30
Speaker 1: Hunter Campbell, by the way, dude, not enough people say
23:33
Speaker 1: enough good things about Hunter Campbell. This guy, the amount
23:35
Speaker 1: of work he puts in for UFC. He's the one
23:37
Speaker 1: that he's setting up the fights. He's doing the negotiations,
23:39
Speaker 1: like this guy is a full fledged gangster, like he
23:43
Speaker 1: understands this business inside and out. But the thing about
23:46
Speaker 1: Hunter that I love to hate is ultimate pessimist. He
23:51
Speaker 1: is it's always never good enough types. He's like the
23:53
Speaker 1: weather and the brag and this and that, and we
23:55
Speaker 1: need these fighters to show he's he's always thinking about
23:58
Speaker 1: it's his job to think about the worst case scenario.
24:01
Speaker 1: And I'll touch on that when we get towards the
24:05
Speaker 1: end of the fights, because we go down, we get
24:07
Speaker 1: our tickets. We walk out, and dude, when you're walking
24:11
Speaker 1: and you're able to see this claw that they've made
24:13
Speaker 1: on the White House lawn and you look over the
24:15
Speaker 1: left and it's like the White House perfectly lit over
24:18
Speaker 1: the clouds on the one side is like dark, angry
24:22
Speaker 1: weather clouds. On the other side, it seems like a
24:23
Speaker 1: little more clear, like a perfect ging in Yang is
24:26
Speaker 1: taking place. And you're walking up the ramp and you
24:28
Speaker 1: walk and it's like truly like I can't believe we're
24:32
Speaker 1: here type of moment. They do the national anthem. They
24:35
Speaker 1: have Army Navy military band playing, you know, all all
24:40
Speaker 1: the instruments. Brown shout out, Zach Brown. Hitting the National anthem.
24:46
Speaker 1: That flyover best flyover I've ever seen them. I don't
24:52
Speaker 1: even know how many jet they had, a Baker's dozen
24:55
Speaker 1: just flying. They were literally touching. I pulled the photo,
25:00
Speaker 1: so I think either the White House poster or UFC
25:02
Speaker 1: posted it, but it is a sailor scrolling.
25:05
Speaker 6: He's just like, I'm definitely gonna save this one. I
25:07
Speaker 6: just see him screenshot it.
25:11
Speaker 1: When you say I held it down save photos.
25:15
Speaker 5: It's way funny.
25:15
Speaker 6: If I say screaming, you're right, I scream shot in
25:17
Speaker 6: it all that ship?
25:19
Speaker 1: Your idea got me again?
25:21
Speaker 5: Dana's face daring. It is so funny, electric man. It's
25:24
Speaker 5: what everyone else felt, everyone else felt.
25:27
Speaker 1: And Trump's there, He's got the salute going, and it's like,
25:29
Speaker 1: oh ship, he's got that. I can't believe we pulled
25:33
Speaker 1: this ship off because there, dude, at Dana's point in
25:36
Speaker 1: his life, he's just like, how do I just do
25:38
Speaker 1: one of one ship? Over and over and over and
25:40
Speaker 1: things that can't be replicated? Right? U three U f
25:42
Speaker 1: C three hundred was incredible. It's like, Wow, what a fight,
25:45
Speaker 1: what a card? But it's in Vegas that it's at
25:48
Speaker 1: Verizon or T Mobile arena wherever it's at. Then they
25:51
Speaker 1: do the sphere, which we were able to go to
25:53
Speaker 1: as well. Jackie Boy like incredible. Everything was like Mortal Kombat.
25:57
Speaker 1: It would tell a story about these two fighters. Like
26:00
Speaker 1: the visual effects that were taking place were unreal. It's like, well,
26:03
Speaker 1: how do you beat this? And then it's like, we'll
26:06
Speaker 1: go in the White House lawn, the nation's capital where
26:10
Speaker 1: the President of the United States rests his head at night,
26:13
Speaker 1: and we are going to put on the greatest card
26:16
Speaker 1: that I have personally ever seen in my entire life.
26:20
Speaker 6: There's only one way to top it. The next destination
26:25
Speaker 6: for one of these cards, if you just follow the lines,
26:28
Speaker 6: connect the dots connect them, it's Mars with has to
26:32
Speaker 6: be the belt for the galaxy, the belt.
26:35
Speaker 1: For the Galaxy Dome.
26:37
Speaker 5: We're only going to have to move.
26:43
Speaker 1: There's no way. Yeah, where do you go? You can't
26:45
Speaker 1: go anywhere else.
26:46
Speaker 2: That's a clean take.
26:49
Speaker 1: That's Kevin's Foods, clean take, dude, That national anthem hit.
26:53
Speaker 1: Zach Brown crushed it. We saw him after the fight,
26:57
Speaker 1: dapped him up front of the show. Front of the show,
26:59
Speaker 1: Zach Brown, he seemed like he was ready to get
27:01
Speaker 1: out of there. He had a security his blinders onh'
27:03
Speaker 1: zach and he reluctantly looked up, but then his eyes
27:06
Speaker 1: he's like, oh what's up, boys, dude, you crush it.
27:07
Speaker 1: He was a vibe, an absolute vibe. The first fight
27:12
Speaker 1: goes in and it's like, you get kind of nervous,
27:15
Speaker 1: right because our hearts in the game. I've talked to Hunter.
27:18
Speaker 1: We know the weather's coming off in the distance. While
27:20
Speaker 1: they're announcing the first fight, you see lightning in the
27:24
Speaker 1: distance and it's like, oh shit, they're about to really
27:27
Speaker 1: cut it off right now the night no matter what,
27:30
Speaker 1: like Danna said, we're gonna fight. It's gonna happen. I
27:33
Speaker 1: think it's about to get cut off. I don't know
27:35
Speaker 1: where we're going to go. I know where the President
27:37
Speaker 1: his squads and they're gonna go back in the White House.
27:39

29:11
Speaker 1: not really excited about watching bo Nickel.
29:13
Speaker 5: I'm not.
29:13
Speaker 1: I'm like, in my brain, I'm like that of all
29:15
Speaker 1: the fights, I probably have the least care in the
29:17
Speaker 1: world about that, Bo Nickel came out there and put
29:19
Speaker 1: on a fucking show. Put on a show, dude. It
29:22
Speaker 1: was awesome to where I'm like, as he's beating this
29:26
Speaker 1: dude's ask I'm not even I don't even know his name.
29:27
Speaker 1: And if I didn't know his name, I wouldn't mention it.
29:29
Speaker 1: Because he lost. Bo Nickel, I'm a bigger fan of
29:33
Speaker 1: him today than I was twenty four hours ago. Like
29:35
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, next time he fights, I'm like, oh,
29:36
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch bow Nickel fight. Unbelievable, gets
29:40
Speaker 1: into the ground a couple of times, ends up beating
29:42
Speaker 1: MKO unreal. So now, hey, boys, we're sitting two for two.
29:47
Speaker 1: We're sitting two for two. Then the heart starts racing. Dude,
29:53
Speaker 1: I'm looking, I look at my I open my Whoop
29:55
Speaker 1: app on my phone. I'm beating at about one hundred
29:57
Speaker 1: and twenty bpms right now. That spats per minute, And
30:00
Speaker 1: I'm like Bro, mikey, our fucking boy is about to
30:03
Speaker 1: come out here and f starts playing and the walkouts
30:07
Speaker 1: twice as long, So the song plays twice and I'm
30:09
Speaker 1: okay with that because the song goes fucking hard. He's
30:12
Speaker 1: dialed in. JP and I selfishly are like, oh, we
30:15
Speaker 1: need to get the point that we got when he
30:17
Speaker 1: was fighting Oliver. Ea. He goes around once, he looks
30:20
Speaker 1: our way and doesn't and to me, I'm like, good,
30:23
Speaker 1: he's so fucking dialed in. A couple of minutes later
30:26
Speaker 1: we get the point. It's like, all right, it's fun.
30:28
Speaker 1: He's so dialed in. He pointed at us right, and Buddy,
30:33
Speaker 1: I don't know what we need to say about it.
30:36
Speaker 1: I hate it for Mike. I know his heart, I
30:38
Speaker 1: know his competitive spirit, I know his family. My heart
30:43
Speaker 1: breaks for him, man, because Rufie came out and he
30:46
Speaker 1: was he was a better fighter. He was a better
30:49
Speaker 1: fighter that he's about him apparently on this episode today, Yeah.
30:53
Speaker 3: Bolk talked him up topil it, but he had a
30:56
Speaker 3: quote that was awesome about it.
30:58
Speaker 1: Was a banger. We'll leave that. We'll just leave the
31:00
Speaker 1: whole mic thing. We'll give it the vulk. We'll let
31:02
Speaker 1: them have it when you guys get in this.
31:03
Speaker 6: Interview also on everybody's walkouts coming out through the White
31:07
Speaker 6: House epic. But the coolest thing pairing them up with
31:12
Speaker 6: former servicemen and women. So Mike was with like the
31:15
Speaker 6: oldest Medal of Honor recipient in the country, and then
31:19
Speaker 6: everybody else was walking out with just like legends of
31:21
Speaker 6: the of the of the country that and the people
31:24
Speaker 6: that make a country so great.
31:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, And a cool announcement that took place is they
31:29
Speaker 1: had this whole like every between every fight they would
31:31
Speaker 1: do these really cool just like kind of like charting
31:34
Speaker 1: our history and telling us about like what like what
31:37
Speaker 1: America's founded on and the persistence and the hard work
31:41
Speaker 1: and the grit and the bravery courage that is taking
31:43
Speaker 1: place for us to live in this country. And You're
31:45
Speaker 1: sitting there and like this is every fight I've been to,
31:48
Speaker 1: there's been a moment we can get up and go
31:49
Speaker 1: get a water, get up and go get yourself something
31:51
Speaker 1: to eat. There was not a point and here, like
31:53
Speaker 1: when I went to the bathroom twice during this fight,
31:56
Speaker 1: it's like almost a little jogs taking place. Do you
31:58
Speaker 1: want to get back? Because how well they set everything up,
32:02
Speaker 1: but they start talking about the men and women who
32:03
Speaker 1: have been affected and hurt in battle and blinded in
32:05
Speaker 1: battle or you know, something that might have happened where
32:09
Speaker 1: they can't see anymore. And right after they showed that video,
32:12
Speaker 1: there was announcement by Dana White where the UFC has
32:15
Speaker 1: teamed up with Meta and metas made these glasses that
32:19
Speaker 1: are now helping the blind see and every service member
32:22
Speaker 1: worker who has been their vision has been affected is
32:25
Speaker 1: now going to get a pair of those glasses. And
32:27
Speaker 1: so there was you know, there wasn't above and a
32:31
Speaker 1: seat the entire time, Like people were just clapping. They
32:33
Speaker 1: would do announcements and people up there clapping, and dude,
32:37
Speaker 1: it was it was just cool. Like it's very like
32:41
Speaker 1: it's a unique world we live in now, like with
32:43
Speaker 1: America and how like polarizing politics have gotten and I
32:47
Speaker 1: know people like to like really label busting with the
32:49
Speaker 1: boys and myself and Willie, I'll just speaking strul too
32:53
Speaker 1: for myself, Like I I like, I've always been very patriotic,
32:56
Speaker 1: like I've loved my country, but sitting there in this
32:59
Speaker 1: moment and seeing all this, I'm like, dude, it is
33:02
Speaker 1: it's awesome to be American. I know that sounds kind
33:04
Speaker 1: of corny for me just to say out loud, but
33:06
Speaker 1: like the whole vibe you're sitting the whole time is like, dude,
33:09
Speaker 1: it's so sick that I just happened to be born here.
33:12
Speaker 5: I felt like that at home. I could not imagine it.
33:14
Speaker 1: The dude, it was so cool. And then you look around, man,
33:17
Speaker 1: and you have like all these politicians and dumb podcasters.
33:22
Speaker 1: But you have all these politicians, these higher ranking officials
33:25
Speaker 1: like sitting on the floor seats, and then on the
33:28
Speaker 1: outer rim is Army Navy marines, like you have the
33:34
Speaker 1: rowdy brought bunch in this octagon or in this arena,
33:38
Speaker 1: and they're lively the whole time. They're coming down like
33:42
Speaker 1: showing love. Dude, Like to the point where other uniformed
33:46
Speaker 1: officials are like, hey, the Secret Service, we have to
33:49
Speaker 1: tell them they cannot come see you guys anymore, because
33:52
Speaker 1: like it's a secret Service thing and they can't come
33:54
Speaker 1: down here. So we had like I would say, twenty
33:57
Speaker 1: people at least, like every chance they had, they were
34:00
Speaker 1: coming down. Hey bustle with the boys loved the show,
34:02
Speaker 1: which is like just souper, It's just awesome. And so
34:04
Speaker 1: we saw them like they were stopping a couple of
34:06
Speaker 1: these guys from coming down, and they were like the
34:08
Speaker 1: boy's kind of doing one of those. So I go
34:10
Speaker 1: to jpm' like, bro, we got to go up there
34:12
Speaker 1: and get a photo of the squab. And so we
34:14
Speaker 1: go up. You probably see the photo now if you're
34:16
Speaker 1: watching on YouTube, Like I'm taking a knee, Willies right
34:19
Speaker 1: behind me, and we got these Navy boys, Navy boys
34:22
Speaker 1: and girls just like surrounding us, like just true people
34:25
Speaker 1: that just like like watching the show.
34:27
Speaker 4: That's one of my favorite photos.
34:29
Speaker 1: Some one of my favorite photos. I never bro. And
34:32
Speaker 1: the cool thing about this photo is JP. We get down.
34:35
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, how sick is that photo look? And
34:37
Speaker 1: he's like it's trash. It sucks. The lighting was so
34:40
Speaker 1: bad because it was blue, and he showed to me
34:43
Speaker 1: and it's like there was nothing about, nothing special about
34:45
Speaker 1: the original photo that JP took. No joke, Like JP's
34:49
Speaker 1: on his phone for thirty seconds, but he's like just
34:51
Speaker 1: in his phone. He comes back and goes how about
34:53
Speaker 1: this and shows me this black and white photo. I'm like,
34:55
Speaker 1: come man, that's as cool as it gets. Right there.
35:00
Speaker 1: It was bad ass, bro, and I like, literally, Will's
35:03
Speaker 1: in there. He's wearing light clothes, but the contrast of
35:06
Speaker 1: the black suit and all the white I'm like, damn, bro.
35:09
Speaker 1: I was like, that's fucking.
35:11

Speaker 1: ads is a crazy new element. So like being invited
36:01

36:02
Speaker 1: White House. But also like these men and women in
36:04
Speaker 1: uniform were like I am messed with the show. And
36:06
Speaker 1: it's like, Oh, that's fucking nuts, dude, that's just crazy.
36:10
Speaker 1: Where were we? We've we've vulcan vocal. Will break down

Speaker 1: the entire Mike Roofie fight. After that was Derek Lewis
36:19
Speaker 1: and Hackett's name hocket Hockey. OK, do you mind if
36:24
Speaker 1: I explained the story we had in them? Are the
36:26
Speaker 1: conversation we had.
36:27
Speaker 2: On the plane?
36:28
Speaker 5: Yeah?
36:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, but then I have to add something at the end.
36:31
Speaker 1: Fair enough, so we get on we on the plane,
36:33
Speaker 1: we're talking about all the fights. We're trying to get
36:34
Speaker 1: our bets in via Fandals sportsbook, America's number one sportsbook
36:37
Speaker 1: presented by a bus with the boys. We're talking about
36:40
Speaker 1: all the fights, and Derick Lewis and JP comes up
36:43
Speaker 1: and there's like a like, hok it does this bit
36:46
Speaker 1: of like pretending to be drunk at the wig ends
36:47
Speaker 1: and be like a black guy wants to beat me up?
36:49
Speaker 1: What do you think I'm gonna be drunk? And like
36:52
Speaker 1: Will and JP are kind of breaking this down. I
36:53
Speaker 1: saw the clip and I don't. I'm not I'm not
36:55
Speaker 1: aware of this man's antics. And uh, JP used the
36:59
Speaker 1: phrase like, I'm kind of over it. I'm kind of
37:01
Speaker 1: I think the bit's kind of drawn out. It's kind
37:03
Speaker 1: of annoying to me. Shitting on the boy a little bit.
37:07
Speaker 1: All good. We're allowed to have our opinions. And Derek
37:09
Speaker 1: Lose is a fan favorite. So I'm sitting there and
37:11
Speaker 1: being like, oh, I guess I'm with Derek. Then yeah, absolutely,
37:15
Speaker 1: we get there, dude. And after the fight, the vibes
37:18
Speaker 1: are low for the three of us after the Chandler fight,
37:21
Speaker 1: like we're like hurting for our boy. And they do
37:24
Speaker 1: the promo intros for both these guys and Hokits is
37:28
Speaker 1: first and he starts doing these WWE breakdowns monologues and
37:34
Speaker 1: I'm listening to it be like this guy fucks, I'm
37:37
Speaker 1: messed with this guy. And JP's like, I think I
37:40
Speaker 1: had it wrong, man, I think I was. I think
37:42
Speaker 1: I messed with this guy, and we became I think
37:45
Speaker 1: in that moment, we're like, Okay, we're taking hook in
37:47
Speaker 1: this fight. Yeah, yeah, we're taking it. But what were
37:49
Speaker 1: you gonna say? I need to add something?
37:50
Speaker 6: Uh yeah? When they've cut that video. I'm like, man,
37:54
Speaker 6: this is actually epic. Now I see the vision behind
37:56
Speaker 6: this guy's character, right, But then he wins insane fight,
38:02
Speaker 6: like they both just kind of gas.
38:04
Speaker 8: This moment of the night.
38:05
Speaker 1: Dude.
38:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, he does his post fight press conference or interview
38:10
Speaker 6: with Rogan and then that's when I decided to jump
38:12
Speaker 6: back out of the hooka train.
38:15
Speaker 5: Just because it's like yours.
38:17
Speaker 6: It was so close to being like the perfect night
38:20
Speaker 6: for him, and it's like, man, you really can't get
38:22
Speaker 6: out of your way, and I know it's gonna end
38:24
Speaker 6: up on the next you know. It's probably the most
38:26
Speaker 6: viewed video of the night, probably except for Sea Seaw.
38:29
Speaker 1: O'Malley, which we'll get.
38:31
Speaker 6: But yeah, so I was, I was out, I was in,
38:34
Speaker 6: and now I'm back out.
38:37
Speaker 1: That's fair.
38:37
Speaker 5: But he's a good he's a good fighter because it was.
38:40
Speaker 1: The the what you're referred to if you haven't watched
38:43
Speaker 1: UFC our Freedom two fifty was the last comment he
38:46
Speaker 1: wanted to say was that Michelle Obama was a man,
38:49
Speaker 1: which one I'm gonna put it back on JP like
38:51
Speaker 1: shout out you getting the video of that comment and
38:54
Speaker 1: then going over to Will because that expression on Will's face.
38:58
Speaker 1: You got a couple people in the back being like, oh,
39:00
Speaker 1: hell yeah, she's got a dick, like whatever, But that
39:03
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of that audience sitting in there right
39:06
Speaker 1: left whoever, We were.
39:08
Speaker 2: Like, what the fuck was that?
39:10
Speaker 1: It did not hit?
39:12
Speaker 3: It did not hit from like the TV copy you
39:15
Speaker 3: could hear, and then you said that video, I'm like
39:17
Speaker 3: confirmed that didn't.
39:17
Speaker 1: It was like all right, because at the end of
39:20
Speaker 1: the day, dude, like like, we've talked about polarizing all
39:22
Speaker 1: the thing, but it's a that's a man's wife.
39:24
Speaker 5: You're talking about a tough one. You're you're in the
39:28
Speaker 5: house that she lived in for eight years.
39:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just nuts.
39:31
Speaker 3: It just stinks that we're talking more about this now too.
39:33
Speaker 3: I'm sure like he likes being the villain in the troll,
39:36
Speaker 3: but like, what a cool moment he could have had
39:38
Speaker 3: in his career. He swung someone that wasn't even on
39:40
Speaker 3: its side, and then it's.
39:41
Speaker 1: Like tough, yeah, tough man. I just I mean, it's
39:45
Speaker 1: just one of those things you don't you don't go
39:48
Speaker 1: and do. It was uh yeah, a little distasteful, but hey,
39:55
Speaker 1: hey boys, America, freedom of speech, Like he can say
39:57
Speaker 1: what he wants.
39:59
Speaker 2: I don't know.
40:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was very entertaining to say. At least I
40:04
Speaker 1: know next time he has a fight, we're all tuning in. Yeah, yeah,
40:06
Speaker 1: we're all we're all going to tune into that was
40:08
Speaker 1: he nine to oh now yea?
40:09
Speaker 5: Or now?
40:10
Speaker 1: I think and look those those two bears going at it.
40:13
Speaker 1: I mean they get both get introduced. He's got this
40:16
Speaker 1: little style about him. I will say this, but hook it.
40:19
Speaker 1: I hope I'm saying that correctly, because every time I
40:21
Speaker 1: say it, I feel like I'm saying it wrong. When
40:23
Speaker 1: they introduced him before the fight, he kind of gets
40:26
Speaker 1: to the middle to where a couple of security guards
40:28
Speaker 1: getting the way of him, and he fucking lays a
40:30
Speaker 1: bird down on Derek Lewis. That's like, shit kind of
40:34
Speaker 1: went hard. Now this is this is pre Michelle Obama commings.
40:38
Speaker 1: This is right after promo. Hey maybe this guy does
40:40
Speaker 1: fuck right. And he had the little head of the
40:43
Speaker 1: headband on the hulk uh headband with the glasses and
40:47
Speaker 1: all that. It was sick. And then they go and
40:50
Speaker 1: I think they get to the second round, like they
40:52
Speaker 1: edited like halfway through the second round. Correct. That second
40:55
Speaker 1: round was a shit show. That looked like all of
40:56
Speaker 1: us fighting, like it was just two guys exhausted praying
41:00
Speaker 1: to God one of them can connect and they will
41:02
Speaker 1: just give up eventually, because all those two boys had
41:04
Speaker 1: in him was one round, right, all they had. But
41:07
Speaker 1: it was a electric fight, electric another finish.
41:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, he loga can fight. And I didn't know he
41:15
Speaker 3: played in the NFL and stuff too, which is bad.
41:17
Speaker 1: He's a running he was a running back, I.
41:18
Speaker 3: Think a fullback for the Niners and the Cardinals. But
41:20
Speaker 3: he he's an athlete, dude. He might be he might
41:24
Speaker 3: be the next big star in the UFC, which I
41:25
Speaker 3: guess he is one already.
41:26
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's I don't know.
41:28
Speaker 6: I don't think he'll be able to I don't think
41:30
Speaker 6: he'd be able to be gone. He's too small to
41:32
Speaker 6: be to fight him. I don't know if he would
41:35
Speaker 6: be We'll see.
41:37
Speaker 2: You know what he's got what did what's the words? Volcus?
41:40
Speaker 2: And I want.
41:41
Speaker 3: To to butcher this, but he said something about, uh, what's.
41:46
Speaker 2: It called.
41:49
Speaker 6: Sean O'Malley delusional?
41:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, he might just got their delusion
41:54
Speaker 3: and just want to fight someone like he's about it.
41:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, the last longer and one round no doubt that
42:00
Speaker 6: conditioning is not like Derek Lewis was pushing him.
42:03
Speaker 1: No, not at all, not at all. Yeah, so that fight,
42:07
Speaker 1: dude so unbiasedly as a UFC fan with those skin
42:10
Speaker 1: in the game, we don't know the guys personally. We're
42:11
Speaker 1: four for four right now, four fights, four knockouts. No
42:16
Speaker 1: fight has gone the distance yet to this point. Now
42:18
Speaker 1: they're starting to you're starting to feel a little whisperer
42:20
Speaker 1: of like, could we be sitting on the greatest card
42:24
Speaker 1: of all time? I think this is where we started
42:26
Speaker 1: to be, like we might be sitting in not only
42:28
Speaker 1: history because we're with the location, the atmosphere and everything else,
42:32
Speaker 1: but like these fighters, what they're the show that they're
42:34
Speaker 1: putting on, we might be sitting in greatness right now,
42:37
Speaker 1: like cherry on tops type type stuff. Next to Sean O'Malley,
42:41
Speaker 1: I didn't know the man he was fighting was a Canadian.
42:44
Speaker 1: No idea. That fight got a little personal to me
42:47
Speaker 1: the minute I saw it. Canadians starts to come out.
42:49
Speaker 1: I texted on Canadians about to fight Sean Omalley. She
42:52
Speaker 1: didn't text me to laugh to the fight. She had
42:53
Speaker 1: had it go I go America. That's all I said
42:56
Speaker 1: there America another one, but a tough year for Canadians
42:59
Speaker 1: and sports. It's been a tough year for Canadians, but
43:03
Speaker 1: sugar dude unique relationship that busted with the boys has
43:06
Speaker 1: the sugar. He was there for the first uh when
43:08
Speaker 1: he was in Miami versus Cheeto, both of them while
43:12
Speaker 1: they were cutting weight interviewed with us. We did like
43:15
Speaker 1: twenty thirty minutes with them both to the point where
43:16
Speaker 1: he kind of walks away. We're like, yo, Cheeto seemed
43:18
Speaker 1: like he was a little more of an engaging cat.
43:20
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be like Cheeto guys. Sean puts
43:23
Speaker 1: on a just pieces Cheeto up that he took that
43:26
Speaker 1: need of the chin that I swear to guy would
43:28
Speaker 1: break anybody else's skull on a thousand pieces. Cheeto stood
43:31
Speaker 1: up and handled it. And then Sean gets the belt
43:34
Speaker 1: lose it. He's kind of floundering, like we don't know
43:36
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with Sean O'Malley and like is
43:38
Speaker 1: he going to be the star that seemed like he
43:40
Speaker 1: was going to be before was a marath took him
43:43
Speaker 1: down and just like you know, jack hammeron him a
43:46
Speaker 1: little bit or you know it's you know, Wilter Away
43:48
Speaker 1: and we'll never really hear about Sean O'Malley again. So
43:52
Speaker 1: this Canadian walks in, it's whatever. Clearly the if you
43:57
Speaker 1: ah what you say, you are some that's playing and
44:02
Speaker 1: people are losing their minds, and it's like this guy
44:04
Speaker 1: is just as much star power as he did a
44:07
Speaker 1: couple fights ago. Comes in. This boy looks as smooth
44:11
Speaker 1: as it can get. I don't think for one point
44:13
Speaker 1: he was not in a good position in this fight.
44:16
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple guy caught him on the cheek or
44:19
Speaker 1: the eye a little bit, but for the most part,
44:21
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, that's that's the sugar that we've
44:24
Speaker 1: all kind of like grown to like fall in love
44:27
Speaker 1: with his aura's energy and that finish holy shit to
44:34
Speaker 1: piece cat up. And then as he's falling, hit him
44:37
Speaker 1: one more time and hit him so hard you know
44:39
Speaker 1: this fight is over, and hit not one, not two,
44:42
Speaker 1: but three salutes before this man's lit body is fully
44:47
Speaker 1: on the ground. Is an aura. I think we could
44:50
Speaker 1: all strive but never achieve.
44:51
Speaker 6: The most patriotic knockout of all time.
44:53
Speaker 1: Of all time. It was incredible, dude, incredible.
44:58
Speaker 4: Few people look that cool fighting like, he looks cool
45:02
Speaker 4: when he fights.
45:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, And the only reason that we still have a
45:05
Speaker 6: good relationship with him is because of Jack.
45:08
Speaker 1: Ran a foster Jack Jack Run amplaster Jack out.
45:12
Speaker 2: Sean Man the people And not to correct you, I
45:15
Speaker 2: think he hit four salutes.
45:17
Speaker 1: Oh thank you, sir. That's a true fan, a true fan.
45:21
Speaker 1: I was so caught up in the moment.
45:23
Speaker 2: Jack might be his number one fan on the Boss dude.
45:26
Speaker 1: And here's the cool thing about this fight. So he
45:28
Speaker 1: does like, well, first off, Sugar, when he gets done
45:31
Speaker 1: with this, uh, with this fight, like he's always been
45:34
Speaker 1: like a more of a stoic cat, right, Like he's
45:36
Speaker 1: he's really good in a mic, but it doesn't show
45:39
Speaker 1: a whole lot of emotion. You could tell there was
45:40
Speaker 1: something pent up in there because he went up wrapped
45:43
Speaker 1: up forty seven day and everybody. But then he starts
45:47
Speaker 1: like doing the flex, letting out some screams type of
45:49
Speaker 1: stuff where it's like, oh, this cat, this meant more
45:52
Speaker 1: to him than I think we understood it did before
45:54
Speaker 1: this fight, which was really cool to see because you
45:57
Speaker 1: want a guy like this with this level of talent,
46:00
Speaker 1: this level of aura personality, You want this guy to
46:04
Speaker 1: be ascending in the mix of mixed martial arts world.
46:07
Speaker 1: So here's a cool thing about this white House set up, dude,
46:10
Speaker 1: is this happened after the mic fight. We walked out
46:14
Speaker 1: and the fighters go right past it. It's very similar
46:17
Speaker 1: to an APEX fight to where the fighters will walk
46:19
Speaker 1: right past you. We go out of the little area
46:22
Speaker 1: and we wait for Mike. We give it Mike a
46:23
Speaker 1: little bit of love. I go to take a piss
46:26
Speaker 1: right after this fights. Then he's off the mic. The
46:29
Speaker 1: fist come back. Sugar's in the grass talking to his
46:32
Speaker 1: trainer and he's like, yeah, my shin it's a little sore,
46:35
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm actually I feel fine. I'm like Sugar,
46:37
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, man, what's going on? Very back to
46:39
Speaker 1: being very stug. I'm my dude, congrats like you deserve
46:41
Speaker 1: that when that was awesome, So I appreciate you.
46:43
Speaker 7: Man.
46:43
Speaker 1: I was like white House long. He was always like, hey,
46:46
Speaker 1: white House walking lawn.
46:48
Speaker 8: Dad been up, Sugar.
46:49
Speaker 2: He was sitting down, No, no, he was staying.
46:50
Speaker 8: He was chilling. Well.
46:51
Speaker 1: He was like with his team, shook all their hands.
46:54
Speaker 1: Hey dude, that was an awesome fight. You're you're incredible.
46:57
Speaker 1: Shout out you for being you that type of thing,
47:00
Speaker 1: and it's just nuts that you're like, yeah, you're just
47:02
Speaker 1: like fully immersed in this world, which is just crazy,
47:07
Speaker 1: just nuts. So that was five fights. We are now
47:11
Speaker 1: five for five knockouts correct. Second to last fight of
47:16
Speaker 1: the night.
47:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, who was it?
47:19
Speaker 1: Why am I messing up my head?
47:20
Speaker 5: Second to last fight was Pereira.
47:24
Speaker 1: Pereira and Gone dude. And we were back and forth
47:27
Speaker 1: a lot on this too, because I think all of
47:29
Speaker 1: us as fans, we want Pereira to win this fight.
47:31
Speaker 1: My brain went to seeing the weighans, noticing how much
47:35
Speaker 1: weight that Pereira put on, knowing that he's going to
47:38
Speaker 1: uncharted water. Is this Gone guy? You know he gets
47:41
Speaker 1: I think the last fight that I I watched, if
47:43
Speaker 1: it was against John Jones, we got pieced up pretty good. Yeah,
47:46
Speaker 1: that's the last fight that I that I saw him.
47:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, that might have been the one he fought once,
47:51
Speaker 6: because he fought had and he beat somebody, I think,
47:56
Speaker 6: but he hadn't thought that much.
47:58
Speaker 1: And it's like, you want Pereira, but something about Gone
48:04
Speaker 1: and him being at this way looked a little more
48:06
Speaker 1: like he was naturally able to fit in this way.
48:08
Speaker 1: He's been there, he's felt the power. Those types of things.
48:10
Speaker 1: You don't really know where to go, but your heart
48:12
Speaker 1: is still saying, I want Pereerra Chama, Chama Chama. They
48:15
Speaker 1: do the intro. Gone comes out first, everyone off, clap,
48:18
Speaker 1: very nice, All right, this is the film, main event.
48:20
Speaker 1: Very cool. Perera comes out. Those drums start playing, and
48:23
Speaker 1: what's cool about this? Why did you? I don't know
48:25
Speaker 1: if he knows. The j people like every fight, they're
48:27
Speaker 1: coming out of different rooms, yeah, and go in different spots.
48:30
Speaker 1: Jama comes out, boom boom, boom boom, and there's a
48:33
Speaker 1: the way it was like the octagon, all like a
48:36
Speaker 1: long walkway stairs at ars around this, and then a
48:40
Speaker 1: balcony that essentially I'm assuming the president would sit there
48:43
Speaker 1: and give a speech as if you know whatever. He
48:46
Speaker 1: goes to the top and hits him with the bo
48:50
Speaker 1: and it's like you can't hear him, but you see it,
48:52
Speaker 1: you feel the music, all of it, and you're like,
48:55
Speaker 1: he's got it, man, something about him. He's just got
48:57
Speaker 1: some energy about him right now. And dude, he didn't
49:01
Speaker 1: have it.
49:02
Speaker 2: He didn't.
49:05
Speaker 1: I thought I thought there was gonna be a moment
49:07
Speaker 1: there where a lake kick was gonna take place because
49:09
Speaker 1: they're keeping distance for a little bit. John's got the
49:12
Speaker 1: lake kicks going to the head and it's like, oh,
49:14
Speaker 1: one of these boys are going to connect in just
49:15
Speaker 1: a second. It's gonna be a problem. I think there
49:17
Speaker 1: was like a blow the belt thing, and I'm like, oh,
49:18
Speaker 1: maybe JOm was getting that getting that position a little
49:21
Speaker 1: bit better before he goes and does it, because your
49:23
Speaker 1: heart keeps telling your brain no, no, no, no, no, no,
49:26
Speaker 1: we're right, you're wrong, and then gone. Dude took care
49:30
Speaker 1: of business the way businesses need to be done, and
49:33
Speaker 1: truly like it. Shout out for his chin. I know
49:36
Speaker 1: it didn't go his way, but likes taking them straight
49:39
Speaker 1: shots like there was no fair dodging taking place there,
49:42
Speaker 1: Like his head was not moving at all, and he
49:45
Speaker 1: took a punishment. And it's impressive to see, dude, it
49:48
Speaker 1: was impressive to see so well as six fights, six
49:51
Speaker 1: fights and what are we six for six all KOs
49:55
Speaker 1: up to this point? Parlay perfect, parlay is perfect. Only
50:01
Speaker 1: thing left is the easiest bet of the night. Elliott Tapoora,
50:05
Speaker 1: go handle business, buddy, be justin geechee. My heart's gonna
50:08
Speaker 1: break for America. But I've seen this guy live myself
50:12
Speaker 1: against ol of Era, where it's like, this dude's aura
50:15
Speaker 1: is just different than any man we've ever seen. Nights
50:18
Speaker 1: getting long. I heard there's a cold front coming in
50:22
Speaker 1: whether it might get bad in just a second. We're
50:24
Speaker 1: trying to rush into the main event, and uh, I
50:28
Speaker 1: hear a crazy thing come out of will Compton's mouth,
50:31
Speaker 1: and that thing is a uh is his his walkouts
50:35
Speaker 1: kind of trash. It's like, buddy, you know that, that's
50:38
Speaker 1: the craziest shit I've ever heard in my life. The
50:41
Speaker 1: Matador that li Bi, that music, him coming out, his energy,
50:47
Speaker 1: the fade taking place is getting us up a little
50:49
Speaker 1: job from the office too, from the Oval office, ready
50:53
Speaker 1: to go. It was unreal to You're like, yeah, okay,
50:56
Speaker 1: it's been a fun night. We'll see what happens. Maybe
50:59
Speaker 1: Geatesi's got something in him. But this is Tapoya all
51:02
Speaker 1: the way. Boys. We couldn't have been more wrong, that's
51:07
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, Hey, Gachie had something in him, because
51:09
Speaker 1: that first round, you're like, oh, this will be over
51:11
Speaker 1: in the next five minutes. They got one more round
51:13
Speaker 1: in him. There's no way Gechie can say this. Some
51:15
Speaker 1: of the body shots that Gaetchie was taking from Topoia
51:20
Speaker 1: up against up against the octagon was insane. It's like,
51:23
Speaker 1: how do you not just keel over and call it quits.
51:26
Speaker 1: It's done? But every once in a while, Bink hit
51:28
Speaker 1: him with a little jab, hit him straight flush in
51:31
Speaker 1: the temple one time, which I believe the news was
51:34
Speaker 1: he broke his orbital bone. That had to be the shot.
51:37
Speaker 1: Had to be the shot. We get in the third
51:39
Speaker 1: round and Tapoia is looking like a demon from a
51:43
Speaker 1: horror movie. His eyes are black, like deep mas scara
51:48
Speaker 1: all around in his eyes and just a red face.
51:51
Speaker 1: I have never seen a more intimidating looking figure getting
51:54
Speaker 1: the shit kicked out of them in my entire life.
51:57
Speaker 1: To where after the third round, the doctor comes up
52:02
Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, this has got it. He's like,
52:04
Speaker 1: you're done. Will you see the crowds like, oh, let
52:07
Speaker 1: them go, let them go. Chance start taking place in
52:09
Speaker 1: the arena, let them fight, let them fight, And it's like,
52:14
Speaker 1: are think he'll let him do it? I think I'll
52:16
Speaker 1: let him go one more round, And sure enough they
52:18
Speaker 1: fucking did, and gay Chee pulled off arguably the greatest
52:22
Speaker 1: upset in UFC history. On Freedom two fifty American versus Spain.
52:29
Speaker 6: What a grind too for Gaichee and just in his
52:31
Speaker 6: career to get the belt like this versus the most
52:34
Speaker 6: dangerous guy right now. And his press conference or the
52:38
Speaker 6: post fight thing, it was like the most authentic postfight
52:42
Speaker 6: press conference job on the mic that I've ever seen. Yeah,
52:45
Speaker 6: he's like, I don't know what's in my face, Like
52:47
Speaker 6: they need to study it. And the fight was hard.
52:50
Speaker 1: Uh.
52:51
Speaker 6: He busts my liver a few times, like yeah, but
52:53
Speaker 6: I got him back. You could just see his like,
52:56
Speaker 6: I know this is legendary. Yeah, he's like, I know
52:58
Speaker 6: this is legendary.
52:58
Speaker 1: And he's talking about He's like, I told myself I
53:00
Speaker 1: was gonna lose. I knew I was gonna lose it.
53:02
Speaker 1: Just like, oh, we're we're watching a real life miracle.
53:04
Speaker 5: Situation took place so I can go to my most
53:06
Speaker 5: primal state.
53:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just true fight or flight, and that boy
53:11
Speaker 1: got it done. We did talk about if you're wondering,
53:14
Speaker 1: hey tooier. Obviously his team throws in the towel. Did
53:18
Speaker 1: to Porio want that? Did he not want that? Did
53:20
Speaker 1: he say he wanted to fight? He was acting like
53:21
Speaker 1: he didn't want to fight. It seemed like per the
53:23
Speaker 1: group chat and Jeremy clump, he was trying to quit
53:26
Speaker 1: the entire time we break We break all that down
53:29
Speaker 1: with volkanovskin. I know we've already been pretty long winded
53:31
Speaker 1: on this intro, but but hey, the night, the day,
53:39
Speaker 1: everything truly incredible. To where I walk I I don't know,
53:43
Speaker 1: three hours of sleep, yeah, yeah, about three hours of sleep.
53:46
Speaker 1: We get back around three am, and I'm thinking to myself, like,
53:50
Speaker 1: this morning I woke up back. That was the greatest
53:52
Speaker 1: sporting i''ve ever been to.
53:53
Speaker 6: It didn't feel real. It did actually happened.
53:55
Speaker 1: It didn't dude. It was crazy.
53:57
Speaker 6: Bro.
53:58
Speaker 1: So we get out of the arena and we're walking.
54:00
Speaker 1: It's us and military people were like there by the way,
54:03
Speaker 1: they're the homies, Like these are our boys. We got
54:05

54:19
Speaker 1: to go this way. We had to go way down,
54:21
Speaker 1: over right and over right, again. Finally we hit ourselves
54:24
Speaker 1: a nice little wind tunnel because we still got suits on.
54:26
Speaker 1: We've had suits on for twelve hours and it's been
54:28

Speaker 1: walked through this wind tunnel and the whole crowd is
54:43
Speaker 1: going this. We're the only two people going in the
54:44
Speaker 1: opposite direction of everybody else. And as we get in
54:46

Speaker 1: he's like messing with me while there's eleven other guys
57:20
Speaker 1: kind of circled around with their cameras out. We're essentially
57:22
Speaker 1: doing that fight we walk past on carpet, though, on
57:25
Speaker 1: carpet because we're smarter and dude, this dude's this dude's
57:28
Speaker 1: strength is incredible. I'm literally eighty pounds heavier than he
57:31
Speaker 1: is and he was handling me.
57:35
Speaker 4: For anyone that hasn't seen that that's listening to this episode,
57:38

Speaker 4: wearing slides on concrete.
57:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's that too, which that's.
57:48
Speaker 4: Insane that they didn't fly off. I've seen so many
57:52
Speaker 4: YouTube videos of people in flip flops fighting where they
57:54
Speaker 4: just they fall, they fly.
57:57
Speaker 1: Off right, body control, appropriate receptions. Crazy by the boy. Great.
58:02
Speaker 1: I really liked, Uh. I want to keep I kind
58:04

58:05
Speaker 1: I was enjoying myself and then Clump hit though one more, Hey,
58:09
Speaker 1: we'll just do one more, And then it did strick
58:11
Speaker 1: in my head, like, yeah, this is a legitimate fighter
58:13
Speaker 1: who's got a fight soon. Probably I probably shouldn't, Like
58:15
Speaker 1: he could get hurt and his trainer's like, yeah, just
58:18
Speaker 1: one more. I'm like, okay, let's just be done now.
58:20
Speaker 1: Let's just be done now, because that was kind of
58:22
Speaker 1: I was having fun. He was about it. He was
58:24
Speaker 1: all about it. But it's like, look, key, dude, that
58:27
Speaker 1: guy could kill me. You could tell he was loving it.
58:30
Speaker 1: He was loving he's a homie bro. We got to
58:33
Speaker 1: get to Australia. We gotta figure out what Australia.
58:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's like an actual must for us,
58:39
Speaker 3: figuring out that trip in February.
58:41
Speaker 1: But apparently that fight in February was during the football
58:44
Speaker 1: season allegedly, which sucks.
58:49
Speaker 2: And of February for the content man for the.
58:52
Speaker 1: Content, the content for the content. Australia. Easy flight, not
58:58
Speaker 1: too far, not too bad. It's far, but it could
59:01
Speaker 1: be farther. Yeah yeah, not much different to if we
59:04
Speaker 1: make one quick pit stop in Vegas, right quip it? Yeah?
59:09
Speaker 1: Well yeah, you know, yeah, I got kids and ship.
59:13

Speaker 1: guys were incredible, by the way, all of you. Is
59:23
Speaker 1: there anything we're missing before we die back in one thing,
59:26
Speaker 1: uh JP taken away World Cup?
59:30
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah tomorrow. Well today, as you're listening, myself and
59:35
Speaker 6: Ryan Soball, sobl so Ball. Ryan will be in Kansas City,
59:40
Speaker 6: unofficial soccer capital of the United States, for the Argentina
59:44
Speaker 6: versus Algeria group stage match of the World Cup. Which
59:48
Speaker 6: anytime you have the opportunity to watch a goat play,
59:51
Speaker 6: I played soccer my whole life.
59:53
Speaker 5: Was my favorite sport.
59:53
Speaker 6: Didn't wasn't able to put all the time into it
59:56
Speaker 6: because my dad always said it's a communist sport and
59:58
Speaker 6: there's no fast breaks, and so that's why he didn't
1:00:01
Speaker 6: support that dream as much.
1:00:03
Speaker 5: But I loved it.
1:00:05
Speaker 6: I've loved soccer forever. Whenever you get a chance to
1:00:08
Speaker 6: watch a goat play. I've seen Lebron play, I watched
1:00:11
Speaker 6: Federer play one time. I've never seen Messi play, especially
1:00:15
Speaker 6: at a World Cup stage. And there's something about the
1:00:19
Speaker 6: aura of those guys on the biggest stages that's like
1:00:22
Speaker 6: a sports fans just biggest dream. So I'm fired up
1:00:26
Speaker 6: to go with Neutral and fired up to see the
1:00:28
Speaker 6: Argentinian fans, fired up to see some hopefully Algerian fans
1:00:32
Speaker 6: because I saw a clip recently. TikTok A must have
1:00:34
Speaker 6: known I was going. But Algeria apparently sleeper country in
1:00:38
Speaker 6: Africa to go visit, and they keep a lot of
1:00:40
Speaker 6: things under the radar. They don't do a whole lot
1:00:42
Speaker 6: of tourism, but the people are supposed to be awesome,
1:00:45
Speaker 6: so I'm I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 1: were cornering for Rufie last night. Correct, yes, I was.
1:08:47
Speaker 1: So give me your perspective as a person who's not
1:08:50
Speaker 1: from America, Like, what did you think of.
1:08:52
Speaker 8: The entire setup? I mean, look, even not being from America,
1:08:57
Speaker 8: like you still felt it. You still feel the atmosphere
1:09:00
Speaker 8: was I know, it was weird, like so even when
1:09:02
Speaker 8: we walked out, So the whole whole thing's crazy. Right,
1:09:04
Speaker 8: So even where you're training and all that you're in,
1:09:06
Speaker 8: like like you're in some you're in some pretty cool buildings, man,
1:09:10
Speaker 8: Like you know, this isn't normal, you know what we're
1:09:13
Speaker 8: doing to what we usually do or even just in general, right,
1:09:16
Speaker 8: you don't be anywhere near the White House, you know,
1:09:18
Speaker 8: training for a fight or anything like that, So it's
1:09:20
Speaker 8: pretty crazy. I couldn't tell you the exact building we're at.
1:09:23
Speaker 8: It's one of right next to the White House. But
1:09:25
Speaker 8: even that was was awesome to train there. But as
1:09:28
Speaker 8: soon as we got out, like I don't know, the
1:09:30
Speaker 8: atmosphere was you know, you just get mad atmosphere from
1:09:33
Speaker 8: crowds and whatnot.
1:09:34
Speaker 1: It was just it was different.
1:09:35
Speaker 8: It was like a powerful I don't even know if
1:09:37
Speaker 8: that makes sense, like a powerful atmosphere like I don't know,
1:09:42
Speaker 8: like powers coming through the air or something.
1:09:44
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, it's hard to explain. Like it was.
1:09:47
Speaker 8: It was insane. Honestly, it was just while we're going
1:09:49
Speaker 8: through and yeah, man it was.
1:09:52
Speaker 1: It was crazy.
1:09:52
Speaker 8: It really was like just to be there, even though
1:09:55
Speaker 8: the breeze that come through and all that, I don't know,
1:09:57
Speaker 8: just something about it.
1:09:58
Speaker 9: And just.
1:10:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got you dumb Patreots sitting over here being like, yeah,
1:10:04
Speaker 1: fucking America is the best, and I'm sure you deal
1:10:05
Speaker 1: with it being over here a lot. It's like, guys,
1:10:08
Speaker 1: it's too fucking much sometimes all about it.
1:10:10
Speaker 8: You know, I'm here, you know, I was giving you
1:10:12
Speaker 8: all these pops Owner's throw and laying down something just now.
1:10:16
Speaker 8: I just honestly, it was incredible, It really was. So
1:10:18
Speaker 8: to be a part of something like that was just
1:10:20
Speaker 8: awesome because you know, Rufie was one obviously that went
1:10:23
Speaker 8: in there in full, but for me to even just
1:10:25
Speaker 8: being in the corner there, it was.
1:10:26
Speaker 1: It was incredible just to be to be a part
1:10:28
Speaker 1: of it. What is your when you go through? Like
1:10:32
Speaker 1: so we both played football, American football and everything is
1:10:35
Speaker 1: kind of regimented. You have your times, your schedule everything.
1:10:39
Speaker 1: When you go playing away game, coaches will go over
1:10:40
Speaker 1: what the atmosphere is, like, this is the time we're
1:10:43
Speaker 1: gonna walk out, and when that happens, will warm up,
1:10:45
Speaker 1: they break down everything. And then you get into a
1:10:48
Speaker 1: situation like this, which is one of one where you're
1:10:50
Speaker 1: sitting outside there could possibly be weather, weather delays. When
1:10:53
Speaker 1: you're sitting there with Rufie and you're watching all the
1:10:56
Speaker 1: distractions that are taking place, how are you watching him
1:10:58
Speaker 1: handle that? And then how do you think you would
1:11:00
Speaker 1: handle that as well? Because it is so different than
1:11:02
Speaker 1: you know, being in Las Vegas or MSG or in
1:11:04
Speaker 1: Australia in your home hometown.
1:11:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, well that's that's it. It's not a normal event.
1:11:09
Speaker 8: You know, ufc ULY usually run a tight ship, the
1:11:13
Speaker 8: schedules usually on point. You know, they do a really
1:11:16
Speaker 8: really good job of that. But this is different, right,
1:11:20
Speaker 8: This was so different. This was like we're getting told
1:11:24
Speaker 8: from the get go, all right, it's going to be
1:11:25
Speaker 8: an hour delayed. So we're going there, were there very
1:11:28
Speaker 8: early and we're like, oh man, look all right, we're
1:11:30
Speaker 8: just gonna have to lay around for a good luck
1:11:32
Speaker 8: in an hour and a half before we even start
1:11:34
Speaker 8: getting ready. But then they're like, all right, now, let's
1:11:37
Speaker 8: back on schedule. And then it was like I might
1:11:38
Speaker 8: wait a little bit so but so it is different.
1:11:41
Speaker 8: But the whole time just got to be like we
1:11:43
Speaker 8: just we're expected that we already talked about it. Make
1:11:46
Speaker 8: sure the athletes know, make sure the coaches know that
1:11:49
Speaker 8: it could rain, it could get slippery out there, it
1:11:51
Speaker 8: could be very hot, you might you know, be prepared
1:11:54
Speaker 8: for these things. We don't know exactly what to expect.
1:11:58
Speaker 8: So just be ready to go with the flosh to
1:12:00
Speaker 8: try and at least let your athlete know that anything
1:12:03
Speaker 8: can happen, and you know, just just just go through it.
1:12:06
Speaker 8: We'll stick together and we'll get through together. But you know,
1:12:10
Speaker 8: just don't It's a tricky one for me as an athlete.
1:12:15
Speaker 8: I am pretty good with these sort of situations. Like you,
1:12:19
Speaker 8: I can adapt and adjust to so many whatever first
1:12:22
Speaker 8: something comes my way, I'm adjust Like you know, if
1:12:24
Speaker 8: I've got a crowd bull with me, I'll use that
1:12:27
Speaker 8: as motivation. If I'm god I'm cheering me, I'll use
1:12:29
Speaker 8: that as motivation. Whatever's happened I'll make it work, but
1:12:32
Speaker 8: I can't say that for every other athlete. So I
1:12:34
Speaker 8: just wanted to make sure that, you know, he was
1:12:36
Speaker 8: well aware that things might happen, things might change, it
1:12:40
Speaker 8: might rain, you know, which is probably better for you.
1:12:42
Speaker 8: Even just look if a RaSE, it doesn't matter more, slipper,
1:12:44
Speaker 8: he's gonna want to take you down harder to take
1:12:46
Speaker 8: you down, no worries, and just try and have a
1:12:48
Speaker 8: positive outlook on it. Because that's another thing for me
1:12:52
Speaker 8: that I wanted to well, me being a part of
1:12:56
Speaker 8: his team, like he come over and wanted to work
1:12:59
Speaker 8: on the ground game and stuff like that, but not
1:13:01
Speaker 8: only that, just to have that sort of mentality, that mindset,
1:13:04
Speaker 8: like that champion's ship mindset or mentality, you know, championship
1:13:08
Speaker 8: mentality we say, so just all the little things that
1:13:11
Speaker 8: go with that. And that's something that you know, I
1:13:14
Speaker 8: wanted to work with him on because you know, fighters,
1:13:17
Speaker 8: there's a lot going on and it's you know, you're
1:13:18
Speaker 8: you're about to go in a cage and fight for
1:13:20
Speaker 8: your lifetype thing, so you've got to sort of keep
1:13:24
Speaker 8: your head screwed on and it's not easy.
1:13:26
Speaker 1: But he did really good.
1:13:28
Speaker 10: Yeah, was there ever any talks of you fighting on
1:13:29
Speaker 10: his carter? Were you all painting to get on? I
1:13:31
Speaker 10: know with your last fight, there might have been enough
1:13:33
Speaker 10: time as far as you know your next opponent, you know,
1:13:37
Speaker 10: figuring out who's going to be next in line?
1:13:39
Speaker 1: Where was that something you want to be a part
1:13:40
Speaker 1: of or.
1:13:41
Speaker 8: I mean to be a part of event like that
1:13:43
Speaker 8: for sure, But the timing wasn't gonna work. So I
1:13:45
Speaker 8: had a little injury that from the last fight. We're
1:13:48
Speaker 8: going into the last fight, so I just had to
1:13:50
Speaker 8: take care of that. So the schedule scheduling just wouldn't
1:13:53
Speaker 8: work for me. But you know, it would have been
1:13:55
Speaker 8: crazy to be a part of that, you know what
1:13:56
Speaker 8: I mean. So but again it me and them are situations.
1:14:00
Speaker 8: Luck change the times. Whatever, if it's raining, I'm gonna.
1:14:02
Speaker 1: Make it work. Or man, it was incredible, it was awesome.
1:14:06
Speaker 1: How do you how do you put yourself in a
1:14:07
Speaker 1: position to be in another fighter's corner? Like, how does
1:14:10
Speaker 1: the relationship like what's your relationship? How did that come
1:14:12
Speaker 1: to be? Yeah? Because my if I if like Clay
1:14:15
Speaker 1: was like coming over from the packers and be like, hey,
1:14:16
Speaker 1: I'm gonna teach you how to block this guy. Or
1:14:19
Speaker 1: teacher how to work. I'd be like, what are we
1:14:20
Speaker 1: what are we talking about here? Like, I'm not gonna
1:14:21
Speaker 1: have a guy from a different team essentially.
1:14:23
Speaker 10: Well, I know he's in a different weight class, but
1:14:25
Speaker 10: I mean as far as I think he was with
1:14:26
Speaker 10: the fighting nerves before he came over, is that something
1:14:28
Speaker 10: after his Benoir fight where he you know, was taken
1:14:31
Speaker 10: down quite a bit, he wanted to work on wrestling
1:14:33
Speaker 10: with you.
1:14:33
Speaker 1: How does how does that come back?
1:14:34
Speaker 10: Well?
1:14:34
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think so. So well it originally started.
1:14:37
Speaker 8: We've engaged is a you know, a brand, Luck Fight
1:14:40
Speaker 8: weight brand that you know, I'm a part of. I'm
1:14:42
Speaker 8: my owner as well, and uh, he come on board,
1:14:46
Speaker 8: so he was one of the athletes, so we sort
1:14:48
Speaker 8: of connected there. So we've met a couple of times.
1:14:51
Speaker 1: But then.
1:14:53
Speaker 8: Yeah, so my my manager manages him as well, and
1:14:57
Speaker 8: he was over there for you know, in in France
1:15:00
Speaker 8: and it didn't go well. That was against a Saint
1:15:04
Speaker 8: Ben war DENI right, yes.
1:15:07
Speaker 1: Should be better.
1:15:08
Speaker 8: Yeah, and then he obviously didn't do the best, right, Like,
1:15:13
Speaker 8: so there's things that he wanted to work on, and
1:15:14
Speaker 8: that's sort of where we come in. Like that take
1:15:16
Speaker 8: the defense and stuff they're scrambling and all that sort
1:15:20
Speaker 8: of stuff is my world. I'm pretty pretty handy there,
1:15:23
Speaker 8: you could say. So that's why we were originally always
1:15:26
Speaker 8: gonna work together, but then it ended up happening that
1:15:30
Speaker 8: we were fighting on the same card. So he come
1:15:32
Speaker 8: and did his camp and then we've got to really
1:15:34
Speaker 8: find you in all those in that short amount of time.
1:15:37
Speaker 8: It's not just teaching all these techniques, but get that
1:15:39
Speaker 8: mindset mentality around you know, the direction you need or
1:15:44
Speaker 8: just like you know, never giving up, like in all
1:15:46
Speaker 8: the right stuff that you're going to need, and obviously
1:15:48
Speaker 8: sort of concepts and things that I can I can
1:15:52
Speaker 8: teach you, you know, certain things, but now you can
1:15:56
Speaker 8: make it your own, and you know you can use
1:15:58
Speaker 8: these This sort of meant this mindset to just really
1:16:02
Speaker 8: make it your own. You know, whenever you're in these positions,
1:16:04
Speaker 8: you know, you don't have to be like, oh, I've
1:16:05
Speaker 8: got to remember this technique or this one. I just
1:16:07
Speaker 8: got to know I've got to get to he go
1:16:08
Speaker 8: together and make it work.
1:16:10
Speaker 1: That's it.
1:16:10
Speaker 8: They don't settle. They'll be like, oh no, this ain't
1:16:12
Speaker 8: good like that type of stuff. So that's short of
1:16:15
Speaker 8: just how it started. And he just wanted me to
1:16:17
Speaker 8: be in this coat on a block at the White House.
1:16:19
Speaker 1: Okay, done?
1:16:20
Speaker 10: Yeah, is that something you might pursue em forward, cornering
1:16:24
Speaker 10: more people, because I know, you know when when we
1:16:26
Speaker 10: at least for me having young children, some boys like,
1:16:28
Speaker 10: I'm at the point now where I can't do what
1:16:30
Speaker 10: I did on the football field, but I love imparting
1:16:32
Speaker 10: wisdom on that. And I know it looks like you're
1:16:34
Speaker 10: really enjoying coaching some of these guys and being in
1:16:37
Speaker 10: their corner. But I know you've also got a family,
1:16:39
Speaker 10: you got a farm. I mean, what is you know,
1:16:41
Speaker 10: not to not to look too far in the future,
1:16:43
Speaker 10: but we're going to be thirty eight, So you know
1:16:45
Speaker 10: what I'm saying.
1:16:46
Speaker 8: For I'm hearing you. But now, look, it's not something
1:16:49
Speaker 8: it's not a it's not something I want to do.
1:16:52
Speaker 8: As you said, I've got a family. You know, this
1:16:54
Speaker 8: fighting game already keeps you very busy, and you've got
1:16:58
Speaker 8: to travel quite a bit. So I just it's a commitment.
1:17:02
Speaker 8: Whatever I do, I'm going to do one hundred percent.
1:17:04
Speaker 8: If I was going to be a coach, they'll just
1:17:06
Speaker 8: take too much time away from a family. I'll always
1:17:08
Speaker 8: be there to help with the cornering stuff. Like all
1:17:11
Speaker 8: that is cool, but I do I actually rather coaching
1:17:15
Speaker 8: in the gym. I really like I get a lot
1:17:17
Speaker 8: out of really breaking down techniques and just because I
1:17:21
Speaker 8: learn a lot when I get to break down these
1:17:23
Speaker 8: techniques techniques with the athletes, so it's I get a
1:17:27
Speaker 8: lot out of that.
1:17:28
Speaker 1: So I really enjoy that.
1:17:29
Speaker 8: So you know, when he comes over and I get
1:17:30
Speaker 8: to really go over these sort of things, it's it's
1:17:33
Speaker 8: pretty cool. But the cornering stuff, obviously it's cool.
1:17:35
Speaker 1: I enjoy it.
1:17:36
Speaker 8: It's a great atmosphere and I wanted to be a
1:17:37
Speaker 8: part of it. But I see myself just helping, you know,
1:17:41
Speaker 8: around the gym here and there, So that's just going
1:17:43
Speaker 8: to be better from a schedule.
1:17:44
Speaker 1: Did you see yourself doing anything in the booth like
1:17:46
Speaker 1: comment he eating, breaking down fights as they go. I
1:17:50
Speaker 1: don't know, because I've got my own YouTube channel, so
1:17:52
Speaker 1: I do a bit of my own like breakdowns of
1:17:54
Speaker 1: fights and whatnot, So I don't mind that sort of stuff.
1:17:57
Speaker 1: But again, like it's you know, if you were going
1:17:59
Speaker 1: to be on the UFC commentary team, they travel, mate,
1:18:03
Speaker 1: they travel, they will like the place. It's a. It's crazy.
1:18:05
Speaker 8: They travel more than the fighter's way, more than the fighter.
1:18:08
Speaker 1: So I don't know.
1:18:09
Speaker 10: Again, I just don't see work right now. Do they
1:18:12
Speaker 10: pay more than the fighters? Because I know there's a
1:18:14
Speaker 10: lot of you know, NFL in American football. I'm just saying, well,
1:18:17
Speaker 10: you got guys retiring to make more money in the booth.
1:18:21
Speaker 1: Yeah you're talking about Tom Brady, So yeah, Tom a
1:18:24
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollar contract.
1:18:25
Speaker 10: Russell Wilson? How much did he get more than he
1:18:28
Speaker 10: would make as a backup. All I'm saying is it
1:18:31
Speaker 10: could be lucrative. Maybe not, maybe not in the in
1:18:34
Speaker 10: the US.
1:18:34
Speaker 8: Well, it just depends where you are in your career too,
1:18:36
Speaker 8: right Like obviously, these uh, you know guys that are
1:18:40
Speaker 8: on the come up, you know they're not going to
1:18:41
Speaker 8: be under the money that compared to the guys at
1:18:44
Speaker 8: the top. So it just depends, you know, I doubt
1:18:47
Speaker 8: the money is going to be as good as well.
1:18:49
Speaker 8: If it's that good, maybe I will consider it. Everyone's
1:18:54
Speaker 8: got a price to take care of. Do you feel
1:18:57
Speaker 8: bad about what happened to Michael Cherling last n I
1:19:01
Speaker 8: was feeling a bit bad, but too obviously too happy
1:19:05
Speaker 8: for Rufie and in the moment, like I'm going, I'm
1:19:08
Speaker 8: banging the you know, they've probably got a chemera set
1:19:10
Speaker 8: right in front of you. I'm just this thing is
1:19:12
Speaker 8: just having an earth It would have looked like an
1:19:14
Speaker 8: earthquake the way I was going, I was going nuts.
1:19:16
Speaker 1: So that was.
1:19:18
Speaker 8: I was more yeah, hyped up about that, but feel
1:19:21
Speaker 8: about it at the same time, like because I knew
1:19:23
Speaker 8: that going in, like that's stylistically I'm just like, man,
1:19:27
Speaker 8: like at the White House and look, I like Chandler,
1:19:30
Speaker 8: but i mean, Rufe's so good and I'm like, at
1:19:33
Speaker 8: the White House, Chandler, this is going to be a
1:19:37
Speaker 8: big moment for him, man, because I was quite confident
1:19:39
Speaker 8: that that's what was going to happen. But you know,
1:19:42
Speaker 8: you're still going to be going into the weekend like
1:19:45
Speaker 8: you never know. It's mma anything can happen, So you're
1:19:47
Speaker 8: still going to get a little like sort of I
1:19:48
Speaker 8: get more nervous for cornering than to do fighting. And
1:19:50
Speaker 8: I'm not I'm not bullshit and that's like one hundred
1:19:52
Speaker 8: percent truth. Like I'll go there and I'm like I'll
1:19:55
Speaker 8: get more emotional and yeah, you won't see me. I
1:19:57
Speaker 8: don't even celebrate like that for my own fights, you
1:20:00
Speaker 8: know what I mean. Look, it's I'm quite chill usually,
1:20:04
Speaker 8: like I'll go into the cage and I'm like, you
1:20:06
Speaker 8: gotta do this, got to do that. We're there, I'm like,
1:20:09
Speaker 8: remember that, remember this, got to remember that.
1:20:11
Speaker 1: I'll get way more nervous, which.
1:20:13
Speaker 10: Is really well after after watching Nuphie's last two fights.
1:20:16
Speaker 10: And he's in lightweight, right, Gaisee Suporter, that's lightweight as well.
1:20:19
Speaker 1: Right.
1:20:20
Speaker 10: If Porter is going to be on ice for a
1:20:22
Speaker 10: little bit, I could see that being the next title
1:20:24
Speaker 10: fight for Geigee. I mean because aside from that BSD
1:20:27
Speaker 10: fight where you know Hoofy was taken down, I mean
1:20:30
Speaker 10: he knocked out physive you know, this last fight, and
1:20:33
Speaker 10: then he did what he did the chandler. I mean,
1:20:35
Speaker 10: he's looking good, especially like you said, to do it
1:20:36
Speaker 10: at the White House lawn and kind of put his
1:20:38
Speaker 10: name out there and and and show up on such
1:20:40
Speaker 10: a grand stage. I'm not a matchmaker, you know, we don't.
1:20:43
Speaker 10: We don't match maker. I could see it happening, yeah.
1:20:45
Speaker 8: Man, Look, obviously is a lot of harp around him,
1:20:48
Speaker 8: very exciting finishing fights. So the UFC do love that.
1:20:52
Speaker 8: But you do have guys like your Almends who supposedly
1:20:57
Speaker 8: turned down being the backup, which for me, I'm the
1:21:01
Speaker 8: like I've always been the guy. I'm not going to
1:21:04
Speaker 8: let anyone take an opportunity away from me. So if
1:21:07
Speaker 8: if I'm next in line, I'm not going to let
1:21:10
Speaker 8: someone be back up and then all of a sudden
1:21:12
Speaker 8: they're next in line. I literally did this for when
1:21:16
Speaker 8: Max Fort Frankie Edgar, I was sort of next in
1:21:19
Speaker 8: line and I just beat Aldo. I was the next
1:21:22
Speaker 8: in line, but they were having the fight at the fight,
1:21:24
Speaker 8: and I'm like, I don't want someone else to go
1:21:26
Speaker 8: and be the backup, because what if they have to
1:21:31
Speaker 8: even if something does happen so they have to fill in,
1:21:34
Speaker 8: they win, then there has to be a rematch. And
1:21:36
Speaker 8: I'm sitting here going what am I doing? You know
1:21:37
Speaker 8: what i mean, I'm like, I can't let this happen.
1:21:39
Speaker 8: So I like I went over there and made sure
1:21:41
Speaker 8: I was going to be that guy so arm and
1:21:44
Speaker 8: not doing that, I think it's going to hurt him.
1:21:46
Speaker 8: And you know the UFC, you know, they like to
1:21:48
Speaker 8: favor and if you know, do do them a favor,
1:21:51
Speaker 8: you know, you be a company man. They will look
1:21:53
Speaker 8: after you, like Lopez look at him. He look at opportunities,
1:21:56
Speaker 8: lap blocks. You said, you've been to all the big
1:21:59
Speaker 8: events hundred he was at all of them, right, so
1:22:02
Speaker 8: he's getting there, like we'll give him this, we'll give
1:22:03
Speaker 8: him that. Got two title fights in a row. You know,
1:22:06
Speaker 8: it's a you know, you do these things. You're exciting
1:22:10
Speaker 8: and you're a company man. You don't say no. You're like, oh, yes,
1:22:12
Speaker 8: I'll take this guy. No Warris and right that'll they'll
1:22:15
Speaker 8: look after you. So that's he's probably should have been fighting. Yeah,
1:22:20
Speaker 8: but that didn't happen. And you do have a BSD,
1:22:22
Speaker 8: which is yeah, I can see that that as well.
1:22:26
Speaker 8: Like you know, he's obviously had some big wins and
1:22:28
Speaker 8: he's got to win over Rufy. But as you said,
1:22:31
Speaker 8: the moment that ever, if he had at the White House,
1:22:34
Speaker 8: maybe he gets in there.
1:22:35
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Now I just get my stomach, man, I
1:22:38
Speaker 1: get sick to my stomach because I'm sitting there. So
1:22:39
Speaker 1: Michael Chanley he lives about five minutes right from me
1:22:41
Speaker 1: in Nashville, Okay, Yeah, he's my boy. I've known him
1:22:43
Speaker 1: since he was like he's from Missouri, but he lives
1:22:46
Speaker 1: in Nashville now lives here. Okay, So I met him
1:22:49
Speaker 1: when he was leaving Bellator going to the UFC for
1:22:52
Speaker 1: the first time, and we were kind of like guy
1:22:53
Speaker 1: introduced through my other co host, Will Compton, who's here sometimes.
1:22:58
Speaker 1: He he's like one of his dudes, New Clay Baby's
1:23:02
Speaker 1: doing a phenomenal job. He's breaking down the UFC fights.
1:23:05
Speaker 1: So I've like grown to love him, his family, his kids,
1:23:07
Speaker 1: all those things, and I love it and I see
1:23:09
Speaker 1: him and then what Roofie did to my boy, it's disgusting.
1:23:13
Speaker 1: It's disgusting. And then I got to sit here on
1:23:16
Speaker 1: the bus with you, which, by the way, I've enjoyed
1:23:17
Speaker 1: every single moment we've spent together so far. The fate
1:23:19
Speaker 1: the Foundation is absolutely beautiful. But you're like, I expected,
1:23:22
Speaker 1: I kind of saw this happening. What about Mike's game?
1:23:26
Speaker 1: Are you do? You look at and you're like, I
1:23:27
Speaker 1: can see this happening because of the way he his
1:23:30
Speaker 1: defense is, whether he's because he's shown the last couple
1:23:33
Speaker 1: of fights where he's a little more he's not as
1:23:37
Speaker 1: offensive as he has been in the last like you know,
1:23:39
Speaker 1: in the early few years.
1:23:41
Speaker 4: Right.
1:23:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, So when you were sitting there with roof and
1:23:44
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I think you can get a head kick,
1:23:46
Speaker 1: keep your distance clearly like there's length there. But what
1:23:48
Speaker 1: was it that you guys were like, this is what
1:23:50
Speaker 1: we're fairly certain this is going to happen well for me?
1:23:53
Speaker 8: Is a you're right, Like he's going to have a
1:23:57
Speaker 8: game plan. He's going to be like, I'm not going
1:23:58
Speaker 8: to get too kids, I'm not going to get too wild.
1:24:01
Speaker 8: But Rufie's style, he's he he brings this presence. He
1:24:05
Speaker 8: gets sort of in your face where you you don't
1:24:08
Speaker 8: have a choice to e a run where you just
1:24:10
Speaker 8: don't want to run the whole time, or like you
1:24:14
Speaker 8: almost he almost forces him to like panic punch, and
1:24:17
Speaker 8: he's a counterfeine is like, yeah, go on, like you
1:24:19
Speaker 8: feel like the shot. So he gets in your face
1:24:21
Speaker 8: and it's either something spins coming at you or shit,
1:24:25
Speaker 8: I better do something. You know, I'm getting cornered over here.
1:24:27
Speaker 8: So I just knew that Rufie sort of putting that
1:24:32
Speaker 8: pressure on him, knowing how Chandler is, he's gonna have
1:24:36
Speaker 8: no choice but to go here and there. He didn't
1:24:39
Speaker 8: go as much as I thought he would. So even
1:24:41
Speaker 8: when I was trying to give Rufie a look. I
1:24:43
Speaker 8: was makingtrol was moving quite a bit, sort of how
1:24:45
Speaker 8: Chenley did do level changeing, couple of fakes and whatnot.
1:24:48
Speaker 8: I knew he would shoot a fair bit. But now
1:24:52
Speaker 8: Rufe's takedown defense as well, he's getting so much better,
1:24:54
Speaker 8: so I thought, you know, he would have that under control.
1:24:56
Speaker 1: And with Chandler.
1:25:00
Speaker 8: Loves to be exciting, so he fires big punches. Even
1:25:03
Speaker 8: when he goes for the takedown. He doesn't go for
1:25:05
Speaker 8: this nice technical takedown and works control. He goes for
1:25:10
Speaker 8: like I'm taking you to the moon to the ground.
1:25:12
Speaker 8: We're doing rolls like from that momentum, you know what
1:25:15
Speaker 8: I mean. So it looks cool, but it's very hard
1:25:17
Speaker 8: to control. So that's why you know, I've been working
1:25:20
Speaker 8: on so much with roof you to you know, make
1:25:23
Speaker 8: space and capitalize on the space that's made, because you know,
1:25:26
Speaker 8: if someone's nice and heavy and like you know, I've
1:25:28
Speaker 8: got a good top pressure, they can make things more tricky.
1:25:32
Speaker 8: But I just knew the way Chandler would take it down,
1:25:34
Speaker 8: even if he did, would be too much space you'll
1:25:37
Speaker 8: build back up and then to just be forced on
1:25:38
Speaker 8: the feed again.
1:25:39
Speaker 1: And I also sorry, I'm taking along with this. This
1:25:44
Speaker 1: this is a part. Yeah, I'm just because as you're
1:25:51
Speaker 1: as you're breaking it down, I'm thinking to myself, it's
1:25:53
Speaker 1: incredible how much you know the techniques is I'm just
1:25:56
Speaker 1: I'm just a dumb pedestrian who loves watching the sport
1:25:59
Speaker 1: and you see to take downs and I know that
1:26:00
Speaker 1: the casual fans like that's kind of boring just rolling
1:26:03
Speaker 1: around the ground. People start doing stuff like that about
1:26:05
Speaker 1: top pressure, aggressive move. It looks good, but it's not.
1:26:08
Speaker 8: It's like it's all fascinating to hear, so no worries. Man,
1:26:12
Speaker 8: there's there's so much in it. But Rufie he's like
1:26:18
Speaker 8: he's striking, like is incredible, Like you we can watch
1:26:21
Speaker 8: that and know that, but I mean, I believe it's
1:26:25
Speaker 8: some of the like probably the best striker in the
1:26:27
Speaker 8: UFC when it comes to the eye.
1:26:31
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:26:31
Speaker 8: The accuracy, like you know, he's so accurate, and just
1:26:35
Speaker 8: the understanding like they were pretty much everything he threw.
1:26:41
Speaker 8: He was telling us like he was gonna do this,
1:26:43
Speaker 8: and why he wants to do this. You know when
1:26:45
Speaker 8: I do this, you know he's gonna really Like even
1:26:49
Speaker 8: the jabs, He's like these jabs are going to really
1:26:51
Speaker 8: really stun him. And you know, and like he's just
1:26:53
Speaker 8: explaining exactly what was gonna happen when he did these things,
1:26:57
Speaker 8: everything he did in training, he did it all out
1:26:59
Speaker 8: there like to a t. I mean, it was just incredible.
1:27:03
Speaker 8: So knowing that whoever stands in front of him has
1:27:07
Speaker 8: to deal with that is going to be in big trouble.
1:27:09
Speaker 8: And so I already knew, like he's going to have
1:27:11
Speaker 8: a good chance against a lot of people, but with Chandler,
1:27:14
Speaker 8: it was just that that little bit more as well.
1:27:16
Speaker 8: You know, I just thought that he would end.
1:27:18
Speaker 1: Up putting there.
1:27:18
Speaker 8: I know Chandler as a game and and he's just
1:27:20
Speaker 8: going to be like I can't be corner too long.
1:27:23
Speaker 8: I'm just going to have to fire. And that's just
1:27:25
Speaker 8: he's a type of guy like he loves to you're punching,
1:27:29
Speaker 8: He's like he'll let it touch his touches, the skin
1:27:32
Speaker 8: of his face and go with it. And just throwing
1:27:34
Speaker 8: up a cup like this, like that accurate the time
1:27:37
Speaker 8: is that perfect? And the precision, like the precision like
1:27:41
Speaker 8: I'm going to be a little more safer with that.
1:27:43
Speaker 8: I'm going to probably be a couple of inches further
1:27:45
Speaker 8: back you know what I mean, maybe even more you
1:27:48
Speaker 8: know what I mean, I'm going to have a few
1:27:50
Speaker 8: safe nets, if that makes sense, right, Like I'm going
1:27:52
Speaker 8: to make sure my head's a little bit off center
1:27:55
Speaker 8: where you know his lines here, I'm going to make
1:27:56
Speaker 8: sure it's probably over here, maybe a little bit further
1:27:58
Speaker 8: back he's not. I'm going to be right there where
1:28:01
Speaker 8: you should like be able to hit me. Like it's
1:28:06
Speaker 8: not only feel you even should, but because he's that
1:28:10
Speaker 8: confident as well, any striking that he would just counter
1:28:14
Speaker 8: like exactly as you're firing and seeing him even training
1:28:17
Speaker 8: when he's hitting pads and oh man.
1:28:20
Speaker 1: It's incredible, it really is.
1:28:21
Speaker 8: So that's why I like, you got to see a
1:28:22
Speaker 8: bit of it, but we still haven't seen nothing. Like
1:28:25
Speaker 8: you just watch the fights coming and you're going to
1:28:28
Speaker 8: be blown away how much of everything you just explained
1:28:31
Speaker 8: to me as something that's natural to the athlete and
1:28:35
Speaker 8: as a learned technique, because you're talking about just you
1:28:38
Speaker 8: fighting the couple of safety nets, and we have my
1:28:40
Speaker 8: head in this position instead of this position, Like when
1:28:42
Speaker 8: you're getting into the mixed martial arts game, are people
1:28:46
Speaker 8: telling you, like, hey, you kind of have a knack
1:28:47
Speaker 8: for this the way you understand where the body's at
1:28:49
Speaker 8: and all that, or is this something that it's a
1:28:51
Speaker 8: learned trait that most men could acquire over time?
1:28:55
Speaker 1: Good? Good question. I think it's a bit of value.
1:28:57
Speaker 1: I think that's what I wanted because it's a bit
1:29:01
Speaker 1: of both. It's a bit of both. Like you, you definitely.
1:29:05
Speaker 8: Need good coaches to teach you things and get a
1:29:07
Speaker 8: good understanding, but you want your coaches to be able
1:29:10
Speaker 8: to tell their athlete, you know, the reasoning behind certain
1:29:14
Speaker 8: techniques and why should do this, why should do that?
1:29:16
Speaker 8: And then it should be athlete doing them, but then
1:29:19
Speaker 8: making it their own if that makes sense right where
1:29:23
Speaker 8: some people's like you know, you will get some coaches
1:29:25
Speaker 8: that it has to be this way, it has to
1:29:27
Speaker 8: be and I'm not I'm not a fan of that. Yeah,
1:29:31
Speaker 8: and it's you will see it and it's not good.
1:29:34
Speaker 8: Like the guys, you should be teaching your athlete these things,
1:29:39
Speaker 8: give them all the all the techniques, give them the understanding,
1:29:43
Speaker 8: and then let's build that around his style. So that's
1:29:46
Speaker 8: something that he's I don't know where he would have
1:29:49
Speaker 8: got it. I feel like the Brazilian sort of striking
1:29:52
Speaker 8: when you've got your prairas you even protests as well.
1:29:57
Speaker 8: But yeah, like Mauricio Rufie like they're striking is. Yeah,
1:30:04
Speaker 8: like they love to like what I was saying, where
1:30:07
Speaker 8: he will like invite you prayer as the same stand
1:30:10
Speaker 8: right in front of you, like he'll hop in front
1:30:11
Speaker 8: of you like he was kinda standing there.
1:30:12
Speaker 1: Last name.
1:30:13
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's how he is. He's like
1:30:15
Speaker 8: come on, like hit me, and then he would like
1:30:16
Speaker 8: trying to count you at the same time. So that's
1:30:19
Speaker 8: that sort of style. I don't know if there's certain
1:30:21
Speaker 8: coaches of lineage of coaches that sort of taught that,
1:30:25
Speaker 8: but then they're obviously different styles. You look at prayer
1:30:27
Speaker 8: as to rufe Is, it's different, but like still similar concepts,
1:30:32
Speaker 8: same concepts. But yeah, he's definitely made his own. But
1:30:36
Speaker 8: like even with his coach, like while they were like
1:30:42
Speaker 8: going over some of the padwork and some of the
1:30:43
Speaker 8: techniques or like just some of the things, he'll be like,
1:30:45
Speaker 8: oh no, no, when you're throwing it, do it this way,
1:30:48
Speaker 8: you know, and just sort of directing a little bit,
1:30:51
Speaker 8: not having too much control, but he understands exactly what
1:30:54
Speaker 8: he's doing and what you know, what he knows his
1:30:57
Speaker 8: opponent's going to do. He knows where how that punch
1:31:00
Speaker 8: is gonna go, exactly what line is gonna go at
1:31:03
Speaker 8: I want you to do this so he could just
1:31:05
Speaker 8: find that perfect spot where it's just it it's it's impressive,
1:31:09
Speaker 8: it really is. It's it's incredible.
1:31:11
Speaker 1: So it's a.
1:31:13
Speaker 8: Big, big things coming from infantial.
1:31:15
Speaker 10: You know, you talk about your you know, physical ability
1:31:17
Speaker 10: versus you know, kind of having it. I'm curious, you know,
1:31:22
Speaker 10: where did this come from? What made you want to
1:31:23
Speaker 10: start fighting? Because I know just from you know, doing
1:31:25
Speaker 10: our research on you. You obviously you know you won
1:31:28
Speaker 10: a national title as a wrestler, you played rugby, but
1:31:30
Speaker 10: at some point you decided, hey, I want to go fight.
1:31:34
Speaker 10: At that point where you're thinking, I'm gonna go make
1:31:36
Speaker 10: millions and I'm gonna go be world champion, was this
1:31:38
Speaker 10: just something you had to knack for? Where did that
1:31:40
Speaker 10: start from? Because you know, it sounds like you had
1:31:43
Speaker 10: I mean, you were incredible athletes, so obviously it you know,
1:31:45
Speaker 10: it makes sense why you've had so much success. But
1:31:47
Speaker 10: just you know, you're not your typical story that that
1:31:50
Speaker 10: people here, whereas like I had nothing, I had to
1:31:52
Speaker 10: fight you know, I'm from the favelas whatever it might be,
1:31:55
Speaker 10: So I'm curious, you know how you got into the game.
1:31:58
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've always loved martial arts, always loved that. It's
1:32:03
Speaker 8: always something I wanted to do, even when I was
1:32:05
Speaker 8: because I started my first book was soccer football, and
1:32:10
Speaker 8: then I did like a wrestling. I only did that
1:32:13
Speaker 8: for like maybe a year or two, wasn't it wasn't
1:32:15
Speaker 8: too long. Uh, then I was playing rugby league.
1:32:18
Speaker 5: For a while.
1:32:19
Speaker 1: Time, you knowed wrestling for a year or two? Yes, okay,
1:32:22
Speaker 1: on work carry. That's incredible. Yeah, so that's that's what. Yeah, Yeah,
1:32:28
Speaker 1: we're a national title. I did that for a couple
1:32:30
Speaker 1: of years.
1:32:31
Speaker 8: My man did a side question title that I'm saying that.
1:32:35
Speaker 8: I will say the wrestling isn't as big as it
1:32:37
Speaker 8: is here in the space, you know what I mean.
1:32:40
Speaker 8: But I mean, I've obviously pretty natural at that sort
1:32:44
Speaker 8: of stuff. You know, I've got a natural feel for that.
1:32:46
Speaker 1: So I did do that.
1:32:47
Speaker 8: Wasn't for too long, but I was playing rugby league,
1:32:48
Speaker 8: but that whole time. My family always been into martial arts,
1:32:53
Speaker 8: and I was a big fan of UFC. I didn't
1:32:57
Speaker 8: even know about it, how I found out about it
1:33:00
Speaker 8: is you know you got I always feel like I'm
1:33:02
Speaker 8: gonna get myself in trouble with this, but you know,
1:33:03
Speaker 8: you get the chip. So we used to have a
1:33:05
Speaker 8: chip where you had like yeah, yeah, like it was
1:33:09
Speaker 8: a boot legg had the Fox with all the channels,
1:33:14
Speaker 8: the main event and all that.
1:33:16
Speaker 1: It wasn't me.
1:33:17
Speaker 8: I didn't do that.
1:33:19
Speaker 5: In my household friends.
1:33:20
Speaker 1: I was just a kid man, all right.
1:33:22
Speaker 8: But anyway I was, so that was happening the mateland
1:33:25
Speaker 8: just one day. I remember actually I remember watching a
1:33:29
Speaker 8: bit of w w F and Shamrock. You can shimrock
1:33:33
Speaker 8: from that and there is that a wash ship.
1:33:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, the eyeball that here.
1:33:37
Speaker 10: And then got a be closer to yourself, use your foot,
1:33:47
Speaker 10: use your fight.
1:33:50
Speaker 1: We got there. We're tough though in the States, we're
1:33:58
Speaker 1: pretty intimidating when you started. That was was was because
1:34:03
Speaker 1: I saw this photo right here, and that's a different
1:34:05
Speaker 1: man right there there looking at that easy. That a
1:34:08
Speaker 1: different boy right there. That was thick. He was thick.
1:34:13
Speaker 1: What's that guy doing with a wasp blands on his shoulder.
1:34:15
Speaker 1: He's like he ain't missing it for one he would get.
1:34:20
Speaker 8: I miss it. And that one show it came out
1:34:23
Speaker 8: of nowhere.
1:34:24
Speaker 1: Do you see you fresh passing? That was crazy?
1:34:29
Speaker 8: So we gave you the heads up a little bit earlier.
1:34:30
Speaker 1: Seen it.
1:34:32
Speaker 8: It it was he next to the head funds. I'm like,
1:34:35
Speaker 8: that's a wasp.
1:34:36
Speaker 1: But anyway, focus.
1:34:40
Speaker 8: Focused Australia, good old luck. You know, crazy things wanted
1:34:44
Speaker 8: to sting your butty.
1:34:45
Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, how do we deal with that
1:34:47
Speaker 1: in Australia. That's terrifying. Come on, the deadliest snakes in
1:34:55
Speaker 1: the world. Yeah, man, it's in this spot. It's not smack.
1:34:59
Speaker 1: It is nut because it we do have all them,
1:35:00
Speaker 1: but you don't see them every day. It's not like
1:35:01
Speaker 1: you see them.
1:35:02
Speaker 8: They're gonna They're gonna go do their own thing, you
1:35:04
Speaker 8: know what I mean, They're not they And what were
1:35:06
Speaker 8: we talking about? I think it was oh wwf. Yeah,
1:35:09
Speaker 8: so Ken Shamrock and I was a big fan of him,
1:35:12
Speaker 8: and then I ended up looking main event and Ken
1:35:15
Speaker 8: SHAMROCK's doing this when he was doing the Tito fighting Tito.
1:35:18
Speaker 8: So this was when the first time I watched it,
1:35:20
Speaker 8: and that was live and like love on the main
1:35:23
Speaker 8: event pay per view and I'm like, wait, what Ken
1:35:26
Speaker 8: SHAMROCK's doing this? Real fighting thing, like what And that's
1:35:28
Speaker 8: when I watched it and I was hooked ever since.
1:35:30
Speaker 8: So was that's something that I always wanted to do,
1:35:33
Speaker 8: or even before I was even training. Man, I wasn't
1:35:36
Speaker 8: even training till I was twenty two years old, but
1:35:38
Speaker 8: I was like a sixteen year old man like, oh,
1:35:39
Speaker 8: I'm gonna be UFC champion one day. Never stepped foot
1:35:43
Speaker 8: in the gym before. But you know it's just yeah,
1:35:45
Speaker 8: we dream, right, but sorry, go ahead, now you're right. Oh.
1:35:49
Speaker 10: I was just gonna say, like, so, you know, you're
1:35:51
Speaker 10: sixteen years old, you're watching this scene, I'm gonna be
1:35:53
Speaker 10: Are you surprised by your own success?
1:35:55
Speaker 8: Of course of course I am, you know, like because
1:35:57
Speaker 8: you sit there and like people could be like a
1:36:00
Speaker 8: you know, I envisioned this as a sixteen year olds like, yeah,
1:36:03
Speaker 8: we envisioned a lot of fucking things, you know what
1:36:07
Speaker 8: I mean. I envisioned that was because I played rugby
1:36:09
Speaker 8: league at the time that I was going to be
1:36:10
Speaker 8: in the know NRL and you know, you know, score
1:36:14
Speaker 8: and try as you know, winning a game, try, you know,
1:36:16
Speaker 8: like you picture a lot of different things, right, So
1:36:19
Speaker 8: it was something that I did want to do, but
1:36:25
Speaker 8: I don't like talking about when you're young, silly, you
1:36:27
Speaker 8: can probably know from being involved with altercations that you
1:36:33
Speaker 8: can handle yourself as well. So I've always been known
1:36:36
Speaker 8: exactly what handled down exactly.
1:36:38
Speaker 7: I know.
1:36:41
Speaker 1: I'm keeping my family safe. I guess a wise. So yeah, on.
1:36:48
Speaker 8: Like you sort of know, So something I always wanted
1:36:50
Speaker 8: to do. And then yeah, playing rugby league, I think
1:36:53
Speaker 8: this might have been. Yeah, this was the last game,
1:36:55
Speaker 8: my last game of my rugby league career, and I was, yeah,
1:37:00
Speaker 8: we won the Grand Final. I ended up scoring a try,
1:37:03
Speaker 8: I got like a player of the match. I'm like, guy,
1:37:05
Speaker 8: it's a good year to end. I'm going to go
1:37:06
Speaker 8: do the fight thing because in saying that, actually I
1:37:08
Speaker 8: had a couple of fights. So I was training already
1:37:11
Speaker 8: through this year. I trained, I was playing and training
1:37:16
Speaker 8: and fighting. I even had a couple of fights that
1:37:18
Speaker 8: year as well, so that was something. But I said,
1:37:21
Speaker 8: this is going to be the end of it. We won,
1:37:22
Speaker 8: finished on that, how good is this? And then then
1:37:25
Speaker 8: went in there and obviously the rest of the history.
1:37:27
Speaker 8: So it was just something that's always wanted to do.
1:37:29
Speaker 8: The question was, you know, how to sort of come
1:37:31
Speaker 8: about something I always wanted to do. I literally started.
1:37:35
Speaker 8: I went to the gym the first time to just
1:37:36
Speaker 8: keep fit pre season for rugby league, and then I
1:37:41
Speaker 8: loved it. Then that's when I stayed and trained and
1:37:44
Speaker 8: did both sports that year and then I'm like that's it.
1:37:47
Speaker 1: I'm going, I'm going all in.
1:37:48
Speaker 8: I was twenty two years old when I first started training,
1:37:51
Speaker 8: so that was not started like fighting, like even training,
1:37:55
Speaker 8: first started training, which is pretty late, you know for
1:37:57
Speaker 8: any sport, right.
1:37:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you guys usually starting in UFC? I
1:38:01
Speaker 1: think if you're if you're looking on the streetest lane
1:38:03
Speaker 1: passable for UFC, Yeah, streets lane passable. Like how like
1:38:07
Speaker 1: when are kids starting? Well now, now I ask kids
1:38:13
Speaker 1: are in Brazilion exactly right. So now you've got there
1:38:16
Speaker 1: and you've seen them come through. Now you're seeing these.
1:38:19
Speaker 8: Guys come for even like you're Ilio, Taborious and whatnot
1:38:24
Speaker 8: that are just like roof Is and like you're just
1:38:27
Speaker 8: they're so well rounded and the they're so creative and
1:38:31
Speaker 8: they've got such a good understanding because they're starting as
1:38:34
Speaker 8: so young. So you're just going to see the obviously
1:38:36
Speaker 8: evolved luck. Any sport is just going to get better
1:38:38
Speaker 8: and better but we wasn't that long ago that most
1:38:41
Speaker 8: people were maybe had a kickbox and background or you know,
1:38:44
Speaker 8: it wasn't that long ago that these were the guys
1:38:46
Speaker 8: that were going all starting at twenty two years old
1:38:48
Speaker 8: because it wasn't a big sport where people wanted to do.
1:38:50
Speaker 8: Now it's so big and you've got gyms and every
1:38:54
Speaker 8: block and every town's got got a gym. So now
1:38:57
Speaker 8: you're getting kids literally start and you know at a
1:39:00
Speaker 8: young age. And another thing, a lot of your athletes,
1:39:05
Speaker 8: like you're probably the athletic sort of people are in
1:39:08
Speaker 8: other sports all these other years right like earlier on
1:39:11
Speaker 8: you know over here, you're going to get a lot
1:39:12
Speaker 8: of them don't want to do you know, NFL and
1:39:15
Speaker 8: all these other bigger sports. But now it is getting
1:39:17
Speaker 8: so much bigger that you're getting kids starting, like athletic
1:39:21
Speaker 8: kids that I want to do this. This is you know,
1:39:23
Speaker 8: they see a path, they see champions, you know, they
1:39:25
Speaker 8: see how like our famous, they care getting whatnot.
1:39:28
Speaker 1: I want to do this.
1:39:29
Speaker 8: So you're getting so many people starting now and then
1:39:32
Speaker 8: you're just the level is just going to get.
1:39:33
Speaker 1: Higher and higher. Yeah, so you're twenty two, you start
1:39:36
Speaker 1: training and yet when do you first get Like you
1:39:39
Speaker 1: when did you realize, like, Okay, I'm going to be
1:39:41
Speaker 1: able to make it to the UFC.
1:39:43
Speaker 8: I believed it from the start, like you know, like
1:39:46
Speaker 8: to be honest, but again, like that's I'm sure a
1:39:48
Speaker 8: lot of people.
1:39:49
Speaker 1: That's the best part about an athlete or a competitor
1:39:52
Speaker 1: is like the level of delusion that it takes, yeah
1:39:54
Speaker 1: to achieve, right because of course, as soon as like
1:39:57
Speaker 1: when I was in high school and I got an
1:39:58
Speaker 1: offer from a college, the first one it was a
1:40:00
Speaker 1: very small school. As soon as I got that up,
1:40:01
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, the path is clear. I'm going
1:40:03
Speaker 1: to the NFL. And so then you have to live
1:40:06
Speaker 1: with that level of delusion because you've you see the path.
1:40:08
Speaker 1: It's as clear as clear as day. So I fully
1:40:12
Speaker 1: understand that thought process.
1:40:13
Speaker 8: I feel like they being delusional, Like it stays here
1:40:17
Speaker 8: a little bit too, like we will for us when
1:40:19
Speaker 8: you sort of need it, Like there's going to be
1:40:21
Speaker 8: times where you know, if you make a decision and
1:40:27
Speaker 8: you know, okay, I'll give you a good example. Uh
1:40:30
Speaker 8: so we've the late note. I don't know if you
1:40:33
Speaker 8: know about my late notice fight with to say, like
1:40:36
Speaker 8: when you sign on with eleven days.
1:40:37
Speaker 1: Notice that.
1:40:39
Speaker 8: In the world, Yes, so Islam. I've already thought me
1:40:41
Speaker 8: had obviously that you know, very very close fight the
1:40:44
Speaker 8: remass that we wanted to do. I'm I'm coming off
1:40:48
Speaker 8: surgery because in my old bow like coming off surgery,
1:40:53
Speaker 8: wasn't training too much, like to be caught honest, like
1:40:55
Speaker 8: I usually train all year like all year round, I'm
1:40:58
Speaker 8: always training, but this was just a timing thing where
1:41:01
Speaker 8: I wasn't And yeah, I was on holidays and you know,
1:41:05
Speaker 8: partying and whatnot. Then I ended up getting the call
1:41:09
Speaker 8: call up like straight after.
1:41:11
Speaker 1: A holiday, and I'm like, all right, what do we
1:41:12
Speaker 1: do here?
1:41:13
Speaker 8: Then I'm talking to my manager, my managers, you know,
1:41:17
Speaker 8: like obviously we're going to get a new contract. I'm
1:41:21
Speaker 8: looking at as this rematch is never promised, like I
1:41:25
Speaker 8: might not get this rematch, you know what I mean,
1:41:27
Speaker 8: but I can get it right now new contract. My
1:41:32
Speaker 8: decision I make is I'm doing it. So like I
1:41:35
Speaker 8: told you, I'm coming off surgery, no training, whatnot. But
1:41:39
Speaker 8: I literally told myself, not only told us, I believed,
1:41:43
Speaker 8: I believe delusional. I guess I had no choice because
1:41:46
Speaker 8: I made that. Because I made that choice, all right,
1:41:49
Speaker 8: I'm delusional that I Am going to be the most
1:41:52
Speaker 8: dangerous I've ever been. I literally told myself that I've
1:41:54
Speaker 8: never been this dangerous. I know, I can't go to
1:41:59
Speaker 8: the five rounds. Ain't on the five rounds. I don't
1:42:01
Speaker 8: want to go five rounds of his lam right now.
1:42:02
Speaker 8: I need to finish him. So I've never had that
1:42:05
Speaker 8: sort of mindset going into a fight. I'm gonna I'm
1:42:08
Speaker 8: going to put the pressure. I'm going to be in
1:42:10
Speaker 8: like right right in his face. I knew that, you know,
1:42:13
Speaker 8: I'll be in a position where he's going to spam kicks.
1:42:15
Speaker 8: If we knew that he's going to go body, he's
1:42:17
Speaker 8: going to go high.
1:42:17
Speaker 5: We knew that.
1:42:18
Speaker 8: But I'm going to be in a position where I
1:42:20
Speaker 8: can put hands on him. And I'm like, oh, this
1:42:22
Speaker 8: is going to be the most dangerous I've ever been,
1:42:24
Speaker 8: you know what I mean? I literally thought that's what
1:42:26
Speaker 8: was going to happen when in there I couldn't even
1:42:28
Speaker 8: pull the fucking trigger, like you know, I mean literally,
1:42:30
Speaker 8: And then it makes sense because I'm like, oh, well,
1:42:32
Speaker 8: you weren't even sparring, you weren't doing anything.
1:42:33
Speaker 1: How are you going to get you know?
1:42:35
Speaker 8: Your reactions aren't going to be there, right, You're the timing,
1:42:38
Speaker 8: the distance, you know, it's just you're not going to
1:42:40
Speaker 8: see the shots like it would if you're training every day,
1:42:43
Speaker 8: sparring every day. But there's no one could have told
1:42:45
Speaker 8: me any different. I literally thought that I'll be there
1:42:47
Speaker 8: even I couldn't pull the trigger. And we clinched up
1:42:50
Speaker 8: for a while, and then I've got and as I
1:42:53
Speaker 8: was going to we're going to get I was going
1:42:54
Speaker 8: to get out and be like all right, you know,
1:42:57
Speaker 8: because that first minute I didn't really pull the trigger,
1:42:59
Speaker 8: and I was like, oh, come on, you to pull
1:43:00
Speaker 8: the trigger. So I told myself, you're breaking free and
1:43:04
Speaker 8: you're going to pull the trigger. You know, we're going
1:43:06
Speaker 8: to go for it. And I just couldn't. I'm sitting
1:43:08
Speaker 8: there in the indie range and that's in the next thing.
1:43:11
Speaker 8: But that's what I mean. Now I look at it
1:43:12
Speaker 8: like it makes sense, right, Yeah, yeah, it makes sense.
1:43:15
Speaker 8: No training, But I literally was delusional and told myself that,
1:43:20
Speaker 8: so that's gonna happen. Sometimes you just need it and
1:43:22
Speaker 8: then you've got bad like injuries, right, you've got bad injuries.
1:43:26
Speaker 8: You go into a fight like I'm not pulling out
1:43:28
Speaker 8: I'm going through this and all right, like you've got
1:43:31
Speaker 8: to be like, that's all right, I'm going to just
1:43:32
Speaker 8: do this, this, this, this, and like, I guess it's
1:43:34
Speaker 8: not delusional because I think that's more problem solve them.
1:43:37
Speaker 1: Like I get it.
1:43:37
Speaker 8: I get around it quite quite well. But if I'm
1:43:39
Speaker 8: going to sit there and panic and be like, all right, yeah,
1:43:43
Speaker 8: I've got one arm pretty much, the odds are going
1:43:48
Speaker 8: to be pretty bad. Like I can't be thinking like that.
1:43:50
Speaker 8: I'm going to like, now I'm going to I get
1:43:52
Speaker 8: to use my right arm more, you know what I mean.
1:43:53
Speaker 1: Which is.
1:43:56
Speaker 8: Exactly he's a big trip.
1:43:57
Speaker 1: I'll get to throw this double as much usually we're
1:44:02
Speaker 1: because I think I think like the like people use
1:44:04
Speaker 1: dellusion as a bad like kind of a negative, but
1:44:06
Speaker 1: I think it is so important in any sport, any
1:44:09
Speaker 1: sort of competitive environment is like having the belief and
1:44:12
Speaker 1: then if you pair it with obsession and you're training
1:44:14
Speaker 1: in all those things, to me, it's the most deadly
1:44:17
Speaker 1: cocktail you can possibly have, because you need to have
1:44:19
Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't see the faults or the possibilities.
1:44:22
Speaker 1: The risk that might take place, like taking a eleven
1:44:25
Speaker 1: day notice fight probably set you up down the road
1:44:28
Speaker 1: that you didn't even see yourself set up for right
1:44:30
Speaker 1: when you're looking at opportunities. Talking about Lopez, you see
1:44:33
Speaker 1: him in all these big fights because he's taking advantage
1:44:35
Speaker 1: of those opportunities. And because you took this, like, you
1:44:39
Speaker 1: just see a kind of snowballs for you for sure,
1:44:41
Speaker 1: that and people and people get the image like, oh,
1:44:43
Speaker 1: this is a badass dude. He's will he's willing to
1:44:45
Speaker 1: fight no matter what. One arm doesn't work, other arm
1:44:47
Speaker 1: has twice the power.
1:44:49
Speaker 10: So I just think it's I think your career though
1:44:52
Speaker 10: as well, Like you come off too devastating losses and
1:44:55
Speaker 10: a lot of times you'll see somebody suffer a loss
1:44:57
Speaker 10: and then I don't know, usually it's it's the passing
1:44:59
Speaker 10: of the guard or they start. But you know, because
1:45:02
Speaker 10: you have that I don't want to call it delusion
1:45:03
Speaker 10: because you've obviously backed it up, but because you have
1:45:05
Speaker 10: that mindset, you talk about adversity being a privilege and
1:45:09
Speaker 10: then going out and fighting a dog in Diego, Lopez
1:45:11
Speaker 10: doing it again, and you know, being the undisputed champion.
1:45:14
Speaker 10: I think that you know, obviously, if I'm just fangirling here,
1:45:17
Speaker 10: puts you up on the Mount Rushmore, if not the
1:45:19
Speaker 10: goat of the featherweight division. But I think that's what
1:45:21
Speaker 10: makes you know your story, your you know legacy, so
1:45:25
Speaker 10: so to speak, you know that much greater is that
1:45:28
Speaker 10: you've gone. You know, you've been through it all. Now
1:45:30
Speaker 10: you're back on top.
1:45:31
Speaker 1: Well, do you really I appreciate that when you hear
1:45:33
Speaker 1: a man with the stature or that jaw line in
1:45:36
Speaker 1: that face compliment you like that. I'm a fan, I know,
1:45:39
Speaker 1: and I think it's I I am as well. But
1:45:41
Speaker 1: he's like in the depths of UFC, like for you
1:45:44
Speaker 1: to be talked about a goat status, a mount Rushmore, Like,
1:45:47
Speaker 1: does that go with our process of legacy? The older
1:45:51
Speaker 1: you get in this game, I don't look. I don't look.
1:45:54
Speaker 1: It's sweet because I think about it. Go back to
1:45:56
Speaker 1: that photo quick strim, so I do want I want
1:45:58
Speaker 1: to vote to see that?
1:45:59
Speaker 5: Are you?
1:46:00
Speaker 1: Oh well shit, okay right right now?
1:46:08
Speaker 8: But shading it's cool. I do get some of the
1:46:11
Speaker 8: couple ofments. It's usually maybe to do with the fight
1:46:13
Speaker 8: and not to do with looks and hot and stuff
1:46:15
Speaker 8: like that, So I get different a couple of months.
1:46:18
Speaker 1: But but but the Mount Rushmore, the legacy all the
1:46:21
Speaker 1: things like you're twenty two year old self jumping in
1:46:23
Speaker 1: a gym for the first time. I'm gonna make it
1:46:24
Speaker 1: to the UFC, And now you're sitting on a bus
1:46:27
Speaker 1: and an individual sitting there be like, Yo, you're You're
1:46:29
Speaker 1: a goat status type of guy. You're a dude that
1:46:31
Speaker 1: says in the Mount.
1:46:31
Speaker 10: Rushmore but he knows that this is nothing new. And
1:46:33
Speaker 10: I think that's what makes you because you have to
1:46:35
Speaker 10: know you're that guy. Because what's so crazy about you
1:46:38
Speaker 10: know that will never understand is like you guys are
1:46:41
Speaker 10: taking risks that mere mortals could never understand by putting
1:46:44
Speaker 10: yourself out there by taking fights on eleven day notice.
1:46:47
Speaker 10: But you know, like the highs and lows are just crazy.
1:46:49
Speaker 10: So that's from a fans perspective watching and just appreciation
1:46:53
Speaker 10: of what. I'm on my fourth bud light last night
1:46:56
Speaker 10: and I'm like, look at this guy.
1:46:57
Speaker 1: He sucks. You know, It's like there's an appreciation there.
1:47:03
Speaker 8: Would have done that, yeah, yeah, but like what you
1:47:07
Speaker 8: did touch on obviously there is adversities you coming off
1:47:11
Speaker 8: two caut made that decision and then made another decision
1:47:14
Speaker 8: because of the guy I am. I didn't want to
1:47:19
Speaker 8: keep my division, Like I didn't want to slow down
1:47:23
Speaker 8: my division, and I've been pretty vocal about even if
1:47:27
Speaker 8: I was double champ, I'll keep both divisions busy, trust me,
1:47:30
Speaker 8: And I said that. So then the knockout happened. Had
1:47:33
Speaker 8: a pretty bad concussion. But then I told again delusional delusion.
1:47:39
Speaker 8: I guess I didn't know what I know now, but
1:47:42
Speaker 8: when and then I fought three months later. We're usually
1:47:44
Speaker 8: people like after bad concussion, especially in combat sports, they
1:47:48
Speaker 8: tend to, you know, they will have like a good
1:47:50
Speaker 8: six months off, like no head contact and then start
1:47:53
Speaker 8: getting into training and stuff like that. Me, I fought
1:47:57
Speaker 8: like three months later. So like a in heance, you
1:48:00
Speaker 8: look at that and you're like, I was, that was silly,
1:48:01
Speaker 8: But that's just the guy I always was. So I
1:48:03
Speaker 8: ended up doing that, ended up obviously getting knocked out again.
1:48:07
Speaker 8: I was like, all right, I'm going to do what
1:48:08
Speaker 8: I probably should have done after the first one had
1:48:10
Speaker 8: a big break And there is a lot of adversities
1:48:13
Speaker 8: that go with that. So you're talking about me doing
1:48:17
Speaker 8: what I did at the age coming off two k losses.
1:48:20
Speaker 8: It hasn't really, it hasn't been done like you know
1:48:22
Speaker 8: at the time, as well as a well, now you
1:48:24
Speaker 8: got Gaechee at thirty eight, we're in a title. But
1:48:28
Speaker 8: I was like some of the thirty five year old curse,
1:48:30
Speaker 8: like no you know fighter over thirty five has won
1:48:34
Speaker 8: a title in them sort of divisions like from lightweight down.
1:48:37
Speaker 8: But now that that's happened after me, I was a first,
1:48:41
Speaker 8: but no one's done it after two K losses as well,
1:48:44
Speaker 8: two b K losses coming back to win the title.
1:48:48
Speaker 8: That verse and the reasons for that, I believe because
1:48:53
Speaker 8: there are real adversities, there are real challenges that come
1:48:56
Speaker 8: from from age.
1:48:57
Speaker 1: I guess.
1:48:58
Speaker 8: But even Chao losses, you know, people will talk about
1:49:01
Speaker 8: the confidence issues you're gonna you know, you lose confidence
1:49:05
Speaker 8: and like you know, you start. I didn't believe it,
1:49:07
Speaker 8: like I didn't know about I didn't know about it
1:49:09
Speaker 8: because I got knocked out and then I was fighting
1:49:12
Speaker 8: three months later, and I'm just like, that's all shit.
1:49:15
Speaker 8: That ain't gonna happen to me, you know what I mean.
1:49:17
Speaker 8: And then I went in there and was very hesitant,
1:49:19
Speaker 8: you know, when lucky and that's I'm pulling away doing
1:49:21
Speaker 8: this stuff and trying to told myself I'm not worried,
1:49:24
Speaker 8: but I was in two minds in there, and then
1:49:26
Speaker 8: I didn't realize what everyone was talking about too. I
1:49:30
Speaker 8: was in there, and I was in there. I was
1:49:32
Speaker 8: like yeah afterwards, like, oh, that's what people are talking about.
1:49:34
Speaker 1: I get it.
1:49:35
Speaker 8: I'm gonna take it serious now. But yeah, So there's
1:49:38
Speaker 8: a lot a lot that happens. A lot of people
1:49:39
Speaker 8: lose their confidence and things like that, and these are problems,
1:49:43
Speaker 8: like I was a second guessing myself, the doubts aren't
1:49:45
Speaker 8: gonna gonna come. But I've always been the person to
1:49:50
Speaker 8: just adjust, make adjustments of like I know that these
1:49:54
Speaker 8: are problems.
1:49:55
Speaker 1: I know I'm going to have.
1:49:56
Speaker 8: You know, there's you know, it's going to be noisy
1:49:59
Speaker 8: in my head sometimes, you know, when stuff like this,
1:50:01
Speaker 8: it's just I have to accept that and then just
1:50:05
Speaker 8: keep doing what I'm doing, just be the fighter that
1:50:07
Speaker 8: I've always been.
1:50:09
Speaker 1: You know.
1:50:09
Speaker 8: It's just it was hard. So it's there was a
1:50:11
Speaker 8: lot of hurdles you have to go through and still
1:50:13
Speaker 8: do still do. But I've just always said, if anyone
1:50:16
Speaker 8: could do it, I believe it's me because I'm gonna
1:50:18
Speaker 8: find a way, you know. And that's a and that's
1:50:20
Speaker 8: sort of how it's been for me, And there's still hurdles.
1:50:23
Speaker 8: I can tell you even when I go into fights now,
1:50:25
Speaker 8: there are still hurdles from all that stuff. But I
1:50:30
Speaker 8: just deal with them a lot better now. Yeah, So
1:50:32
Speaker 8: it's a and I can't I won't get that. I
1:50:34
Speaker 8: can save that sort of stuff for a documentary. But
1:50:36
Speaker 8: I understand now, I really do understand what people mean,
1:50:40
Speaker 8: Like you know, when you know that's why people just
1:50:42
Speaker 8: go downhill after KOs and they just never they never
1:50:44
Speaker 8: come back.
1:50:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting injuries in general.
1:50:47
Speaker 5: I get it.
1:50:48
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, somebody come back. Yeah, it is,
1:50:51
Speaker 1: and that's I think that's for for all sports for sure.
1:50:54
Speaker 1: Like I know you said you can see it for
1:50:56
Speaker 1: a documentary, but what are some tricks of the trade
1:50:59
Speaker 1: that you could possible give to maybe a young athlete
1:51:01
Speaker 1: that's sitting here listening to this podcast right now. From
1:51:03
Speaker 1: a mental standpoint, like when I would get injured, I
1:51:06
Speaker 1: remember going out in the field and like first couple
1:51:08
Speaker 1: of practices you're kind of like, let's see if this
1:51:11
Speaker 1: leg holds up, Let's see this elbow holds up, and
1:51:13
Speaker 1: you're kind of nursing it a little bit. In your position.
1:51:15
Speaker 1: You don't have the opportunity to feel things out, like
1:51:18
Speaker 1: you've got you know the match is about to begin,
1:51:20
Speaker 1: you better go.
1:51:21
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:51:21
Speaker 1: So for you from a mental standpoint, like, how do
1:51:24
Speaker 1: you put yourself in the zone to be at your best?
1:51:27
Speaker 1: Trust yourself the most when you're coming back from an injury,
1:51:31
Speaker 1: just I guess.
1:51:32
Speaker 8: The best way to say it, and as an overall
1:51:34
Speaker 8: word you could use is just accept these hurdles, accept
1:51:40
Speaker 8: these adversities. If that makes sense. So accept you're going
1:51:45
Speaker 8: to feel nervous. Just accept that. Nerves come with I.
1:51:49
Speaker 8: You're fighting somebody, you know what I mean. That's all right,
1:51:51
Speaker 8: he's nervous too. Let's accept that and just find ways
1:51:55
Speaker 8: around it. You learn to deal with it a lot
1:51:56
Speaker 8: better because the more you accept these things. Again, even
1:51:59
Speaker 8: I use the word because a lot of people want
1:52:01
Speaker 8: to be I'll be comfortable in uncomfortable positions. The training
1:52:06
Speaker 8: I fucking do it. It ain't going to get comfortable,
1:52:08
Speaker 8: like you know what I mean, There's no way you're
1:52:10
Speaker 8: going to be comfortable. But I can accept how shit
1:52:13
Speaker 8: it's going to be. I accept that it's going to
1:52:15
Speaker 8: be very challenging, it's going to be very painful. I
1:52:17
Speaker 8: accept it, and then I can deal with that much better.
1:52:20
Speaker 8: So like I just just accept these these challenges that
1:52:24
Speaker 8: come your way. Just know that you know, these certain things,
1:52:27
Speaker 8: except that that is a feeling you've got, and you're
1:52:31
Speaker 8: going to find a way around it, you know what
1:52:32
Speaker 8: I mean, and try you're going to and then through
1:52:35
Speaker 8: time you're going to get better with dealing with that
1:52:37
Speaker 8: because everyone throughout their career still deals with that. Like
1:52:41
Speaker 8: a lot of people go, oh this guy's are you know, like, oh,
1:52:43
Speaker 8: look how composed this. I guarantee you all the thoughts
1:52:46
Speaker 8: are going through their head, like all these challenges still
1:52:48
Speaker 8: go there, but they just deal with them and accept
1:52:50
Speaker 8: like they've accepted they've accepted it a long time ago
1:52:53
Speaker 8: and they've learned to deal with all those challenges way better,
1:52:56
Speaker 8: so now it's not really a problem for them. So
1:52:59
Speaker 8: that's something that has really helped me. It's just the yeah,
1:53:03
Speaker 8: and that's what I try and tell like any with
1:53:04
Speaker 8: your you know, with fighters that you're looking after, like
1:53:07
Speaker 8: you know, they might ask you know, like you know,
1:53:11
Speaker 8: you know he's all right to you know, like you
1:53:13
Speaker 8: sort of doubt, like so they're freaking out, It's like
1:53:15
Speaker 8: why am I thinking of this? Like you you know,
1:53:17
Speaker 8: it's normal, like you need you need to understand. I
1:53:20
Speaker 8: want you to understand it's normal, and I want you
1:53:22
Speaker 8: to learn to accept it and deal with it, you
1:53:24
Speaker 8: know what I mean, like, and you're only going to
1:53:26
Speaker 8: get better with it. You can start here, though, You
1:53:28
Speaker 8: can start rather than you worrying about it and panicking
1:53:33
Speaker 8: about it. Right now is a good time for you
1:53:35
Speaker 8: to train yourself and be like, all right, this is normal.
1:53:39
Speaker 8: It might still feel a little uncomfortable, but at least
1:53:41
Speaker 8: start to accept them. Be like, rather than panic and
1:53:44
Speaker 8: let it go worse, let's just be level with it
1:53:46
Speaker 8: and understand, all right, this is a pretty shitty feeling,
1:53:48
Speaker 8: but this is a part of it. This is okay,
1:53:51
Speaker 8: And then I let's focus on something else now.
1:53:53
Speaker 1: Is it such an interesting concept that like growing up
1:53:56
Speaker 1: as a man, you're sit there and it's like nothing's
1:53:59
Speaker 1: supposed to phase. You're not supposed to emotionally, you're supposed
1:54:01
Speaker 1: to be able to handle everything, the physical, all that stuff.
1:54:04
Speaker 1: And you're saying the secret sauce is truly just to
1:54:06
Speaker 1: accept that you're all the feelings that you're having are natural.
1:54:09
Speaker 1: Because when you're explaining, like the anxieties and the worries
1:54:12
Speaker 1: and all that. It's like, yeah, every athlete, yep, every day,
1:54:16
Speaker 1: especially on game day, is going to feel that the
1:54:19
Speaker 1: piece of doubt that creeps in that guy knocking in
1:54:21
Speaker 1: the back door, being like he might get you. What
1:54:23
Speaker 1: if the individual you're going against gets you? So the
1:54:25
Speaker 1: exception part is I think it's just fascinating to me
1:54:28
Speaker 1: because it is so true the minute you like, instead
1:54:31
Speaker 1: of ignoring the issue, you just look at it in
1:54:34
Speaker 1: the face and be like, Okay, I see you, and
1:54:36
Speaker 1: now you can start taking steps forward. I think it's awesome.
1:54:39
Speaker 8: I mean, but if you are ignoring it, like I guess,
1:54:43
Speaker 8: it depends the situation, right, If you can, I guess,
1:54:45
Speaker 8: ignore a feeling like scared or something. If you can
1:54:49
Speaker 8: ignore it, all.
1:54:49
Speaker 1: Right, do that too. Yeah whatever you gets you through.
1:54:53
Speaker 8: But if you're about a fight and you you're getting scared,
1:54:56
Speaker 8: I don't know if you you can just ignore it.
1:54:58
Speaker 8: But you when I say accepting it is I guess
1:55:02
Speaker 8: a part of you excepting that and be like all right,
1:55:04
Speaker 8: it's just a normal feeling, Like yeah, you can ignore it,
1:55:06
Speaker 8: but I get I guess you need to sort of
1:55:08
Speaker 8: accept that to actually really ignore that, especially when you're
1:55:11
Speaker 8: about to fight, if that makes sense. So, but I
1:55:14
Speaker 8: mean with a you know, your everyday life, right, it's
1:55:17
Speaker 8: just like you know, got to keep it, you know.
1:55:19
Speaker 1: But I do believe you know.
1:55:24
Speaker 8: That can can help as well, you know, when you
1:55:26
Speaker 8: are just like all right, I've got these but you know,
1:55:29
Speaker 8: I've got to be a you know, I've got to
1:55:30
Speaker 8: have this sort of shield and just like in a
1:55:32
Speaker 8: shield around me and not let these feelings in and
1:55:34
Speaker 8: stuff like that. And I feel like most of my
1:55:36
Speaker 8: career was like that where I could That's why I'd
1:55:40
Speaker 8: actually say this is a sort of fascinating. I would
1:55:44
Speaker 8: go through.
1:55:44
Speaker 1: Camp and.
1:55:47
Speaker 8: You know, I wouldn't let like, you know, I couldn't
1:55:50
Speaker 8: let myself get excited, Like I would protect myself from
1:55:53
Speaker 8: getting too emotional, too excited, just just so much pressure
1:55:58
Speaker 8: that's going to come with camps and and training and
1:56:01
Speaker 8: fighting and whatnot. And like I just have a shield
1:56:03
Speaker 8: around me and just you know, like hold a shield up,
1:56:06
Speaker 8: not let it in. If it's there, just palm it off,
1:56:08
Speaker 8: Palm off every problem that comes my way, trying to
1:56:12
Speaker 8: you know, be be stoic, you know, try and be
1:56:14
Speaker 8: composed all these types of different pressures and then after
1:56:19
Speaker 8: my fight, I would just let it go. So it
1:56:24
Speaker 8: was weird because I'll be like like holding the shield
1:56:26
Speaker 8: up for the last three months and then all of
1:56:30
Speaker 8: a sudden, I have like I thought I won, got
1:56:33
Speaker 8: my hand raised, and I just throw away the shield.
1:56:35
Speaker 8: Don't need the shoulder, and he's just like ah, and
1:56:37
Speaker 8: you just feel these emotions come in and like now
1:56:40
Speaker 8: I'm I'm allowed to be emotional. I'm alowd to like yeah,
1:56:42
Speaker 8: like you know what I mean, I'm aloud to feel something.
1:56:45
Speaker 8: So it was it's it's it's crazy, so like it
1:56:50
Speaker 8: can it can weigh on you. So that's what I
1:56:52
Speaker 8: get when you know people like you know, you want
1:56:54
Speaker 8: to talk about people again, it's not weak to speak
1:56:56
Speaker 8: and stuff like that, Like like I get that, but
1:56:58
Speaker 8: I mean you need to have that sh as well.
1:57:01
Speaker 8: You know, we can't let our emotions and all that
1:57:04
Speaker 8: take over us. At the same time, we need to
1:57:06
Speaker 8: have these perfect perfect balance understand it, accept it, and
1:57:09
Speaker 8: shield it, you know what I mean.
1:57:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, because at the end of the day, no one's
1:57:12
Speaker 1: coming to save you. You can feel all the things,
1:57:13
Speaker 1: but if you let it overcome you, then you're just
1:57:16
Speaker 1: you're washing the tide. There's nothing for you to handle.
1:57:18
Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, accepting it, Like, yeah, obviously I
1:57:21
Speaker 1: feel this way doesn't change the fact that I have
1:57:23
Speaker 1: to still go do this job. So now that I
1:57:25
Speaker 1: have acknowledge that, we just keep it pushing, keep it forward,
1:57:27
Speaker 1: has your thought process or mindset changed it all as
1:57:31
Speaker 1: you've gotten older, family, kids, the whole thing. Because when
1:57:34
Speaker 1: you're young, you use the term silly and you're absolutely right,
1:57:37
Speaker 1: Like sixteen to the mid twenties, you're just like, yeah,
1:57:41
Speaker 1: the word silly is great because you're just more impulsive,
1:57:44
Speaker 1: you make decisions for yourself, you're allowed to be more selfish.
1:57:47
Speaker 1: Then you bring on a companion, you have kids, and
1:57:50
Speaker 1: it's like, now you're living for something more than just yourself.
1:57:53
Speaker 1: So as you get older, you're going to the octagon.
1:57:55
Speaker 1: You're not just thinking about my legacy, X, Y and Z.
1:57:57
Speaker 1: You're thinking about these little eyes watching you, and it
1:58:00
Speaker 1: kind of gets you. Like, even when I'm asking this question,
1:58:03
Speaker 1: I get a little like I can feel a motion
1:58:05
Speaker 1: taking place because I have two kids, and I'm like,
1:58:07
Speaker 1: I remember towards the end of my career when I
1:58:10
Speaker 1: would get hurt, and I'm like, man, I hate that
1:58:11
Speaker 1: my kids had to watch that happened to me, you know,
1:58:14
Speaker 1: and that just that's so, how how is your mindset
1:58:17
Speaker 1: and thought process? And it's a it's a very loaded,
1:58:20
Speaker 1: big question. Yeah, but I just would love to hear
1:58:22
Speaker 1: more about that. Yeah, man, it's a well, it's everything
1:58:25
Speaker 1: everything for me. So I got to ask the other day,
1:58:30
Speaker 1: just wasn't wasn't on a podcast or if even just
1:58:34
Speaker 1: someone It might have even been while I was talking
1:58:36
Speaker 1: to maybe Rufie or someone in his team. But yeah,
1:58:39
Speaker 1: like people asking about you know, did it change like
1:58:43
Speaker 1: when you had kids, and it did, Like I went
1:58:46
Speaker 1: from loving the sport like you know, and you know,
1:58:48
Speaker 1: I want to be a champion and all that. So
1:58:50
Speaker 1: I guess you could say legacy you know, and all
1:58:53
Speaker 1: this sort of stuff. Yeah, I'm gonna this is what
1:58:54
Speaker 1: it's all about. You know, I'm gonna be champion, like
1:58:56
Speaker 1: you know, I want that. And then as soon as
1:58:59
Speaker 1: I had kids, as soon as I had a kid,
1:59:02
Speaker 1: that completely changes. Like I need to be successful for
1:59:05
Speaker 1: my family and that's all that. I don't care about legacy.
1:59:08
Speaker 5: I just need to win.
1:59:09
Speaker 8: I need to be successful for my family and that's
1:59:12
Speaker 8: all that matters. And that's to this day. It's all
1:59:14
Speaker 8: about just every decision I make, you know what I mean,
1:59:17
Speaker 8: Like everything like me going there and you know, me
1:59:20
Speaker 8: fighting injured and all that is like I need to
1:59:22
Speaker 8: be successful. I need to you know, look after my family.
1:59:24
Speaker 8: Every decision comes down to the film. So it's it
1:59:27
Speaker 8: was I think it's the biggest motivation by far, you
1:59:30
Speaker 8: know what I mean. It's quite clear and easy to
1:59:32
Speaker 8: see that it would be your biggest motivation. But that's
1:59:35
Speaker 8: how I look at it, Like every decision I make,
1:59:38
Speaker 8: it's like it's to be successful for my family, which
1:59:42
Speaker 8: and that's it. That's just an easy way I guess
1:59:44
Speaker 8: of putting it. But your clear clear difference. I went
1:59:46
Speaker 8: from yeah, I want to be a champion and all that,
1:59:49
Speaker 8: and then I don't care about legacy or anything like
1:59:51
Speaker 8: that because we're talking about legacy before and oh you
1:59:53
Speaker 8: know the ration more it was like, you know what
1:59:56
Speaker 8: I mean, I just want to be successful my family. Yeah,
1:59:58
Speaker 8: like and winning, me being on, you know, me being
2:00:02
Speaker 8: the goat or all that sort of stuff, chasing all
2:00:04
Speaker 8: that means success. So I'll bring all that on because
2:00:08
Speaker 8: I know that's just gonna put me in a position
2:00:10
Speaker 8: to look after my family, But that is my main goal.
2:00:12
Speaker 10: I want to get to your cooking with Volkshouse. I'm
2:00:15
Speaker 10: a big fan, but I got like as a fight
2:00:17
Speaker 10: fan too. I just want to ask, because you talk
2:00:18
Speaker 10: about your family and how it all changed. Soon to
2:00:21
Speaker 10: be thirty eight years old, how much longer do you
2:00:23
Speaker 10: I know this these are probably questions you receive all
2:00:25
Speaker 10: the time, but how much longer do you want to do?
2:00:27
Speaker 1: Is how long?
2:00:27
Speaker 10: I mean as long as you're on top? When is
2:00:28
Speaker 10: that mentality of you know, being the best? Is that
2:00:32
Speaker 10: ever going to change?
2:00:33
Speaker 1: You know?
2:00:33
Speaker 10: And then there's a part of me that would love
2:00:36
Speaker 10: to see a rematch. You do well in the rematches
2:00:38
Speaker 10: when you have a camp.
2:00:39
Speaker 8: So man, I'm here, and I guess it's a for me.
2:00:42
Speaker 8: It's as I said, I do this for my family,
2:00:45
Speaker 8: so I need to make the right decisions, and me
2:00:48
Speaker 8: looking after my health is a part of that, you
2:00:52
Speaker 8: know what I mean, Like a you know, you're gonna
2:00:54
Speaker 8: put your body on the line. You're gonna put your
2:00:57
Speaker 8: you know, like your brain on the line doing the
2:00:59
Speaker 8: sports as a as we would all know and stuff
2:01:02
Speaker 8: like that. So I want to take all that into consideration.
2:01:05
Speaker 8: You know, I'm trying to weigh all the options. Like
2:01:09
Speaker 8: my last fight, if things went terribly blad bad, all right,
2:01:13
Speaker 8: I would have you know, if I like started get
2:01:15
Speaker 8: like concussions, that got dropped and all right, I got
2:01:17
Speaker 8: knocked out, Okay, I would have you know, I'll pack
2:01:19
Speaker 8: up the bags. So like that's how that's sort of
2:01:22
Speaker 8: how I look at it. But last fight, I didn't
2:01:24
Speaker 8: take much stamage. I'm like, all right, let's keep going,
2:01:26
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, especially and again, why am
2:01:28
Speaker 8: I doing that?
2:01:29
Speaker 1: You're you're right. I do have.
2:01:33
Speaker 8: Cooking revolk and stuff like that.
2:01:35
Speaker 1: I do have.
2:01:35
Speaker 8: You know, I've been lucky enough to use a platform.
2:01:37
Speaker 8: I have to build my own brand outside of fighting
2:01:41
Speaker 8: and loving it so cannot wait for that. But I
2:01:45
Speaker 8: ain't ever going to get paychecks like when I step
2:01:47
Speaker 8: in that that octagon, and that's again it's for my family.
2:01:50
Speaker 8: So I'm I'm risking, you know, Like it's not it's
2:01:55
Speaker 8: not as easy, it's not as enjoyable and all that
2:01:58
Speaker 8: to do what we've got to do to still try
2:02:00
Speaker 8: and be the best in the world. But this is
2:02:03
Speaker 8: a choice I made, all right.
2:02:04
Speaker 1: It has to be done. It has to be done. Properly.
2:02:06
Speaker 8: And it's where that's the choice I'm making. You know,
2:02:09
Speaker 8: while I'm alive and willing, I can still make those
2:02:12
Speaker 8: those the decisions to do that. And then' when it
2:02:15
Speaker 8: gets to a point where again, all right, where we
2:02:18
Speaker 8: were starting, you know, I'm starting to worry about the
2:02:20
Speaker 8: brain held for you know, you know, your injuries. You
2:02:22
Speaker 8: were starting to fall apart, you know, like, okay, maybe
2:02:25
Speaker 8: we pack up the bag, so it's just a we
2:02:27
Speaker 8: could just take it as it goes. Yeah, so again,
2:02:29
Speaker 8: but that comes down to what's best for.
2:02:33
Speaker 1: My family.
2:02:34
Speaker 8: Some best disiones I can make for myself for my family.
2:02:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you brought up the YouTube channel and all
2:02:40
Speaker 1: the things you love doing, the cooking with Bulk, all
2:02:42
Speaker 1: that stuff. When did you make the decision in your head?
2:02:45
Speaker 1: Like okay, so things are going well in the UFC,
2:02:47
Speaker 1: but everyone knows as an athlete, eventually someone's gonna say
2:02:49
Speaker 1: you gonna put the gloves down. You can't do it anymore.
2:02:51
Speaker 1: Whether you're making that decision or somebody makes it for you,
2:02:54
Speaker 1: you're going to be done. And then the check stop coming. Well,
2:02:57
Speaker 1: how did you who got in your ear or or
2:03:00
Speaker 1: when did you make the decision like, oh, I can
2:03:02
Speaker 1: use this massive brand of UFC along with the fandom
2:03:06
Speaker 1: that I've made to start monetizing on my nil. Yeah,
2:03:10
Speaker 1: it's just.
2:03:12
Speaker 8: I guess through time and just get an understanding slowly, slowly,
2:03:17
Speaker 8: because you would hear people talk about it and I
2:03:19
Speaker 8: never really got it. Like I remember, it wasn't that
2:03:20
Speaker 8: long ago. It honestly wasn't even that long ago that
2:03:24
Speaker 8: I was. I just had a tunnel vision. I had
2:03:26
Speaker 8: to be the best fighter, you know what I mean.
2:03:29
Speaker 8: It was family and fighter. I had no time for myself,
2:03:35
Speaker 8: no time for anything else. I didn't let there be
2:03:37
Speaker 8: and I had this tonnel vision they call it, you know,
2:03:39
Speaker 8: like a fighter's identity. Like you know, I had a
2:03:43
Speaker 8: fight and you know, and people look at it as
2:03:45
Speaker 8: a bad thing, but that's what it takes to be
2:03:49
Speaker 8: the best. So I'm glad or when you because you
2:03:52
Speaker 8: go there, you know, I didn't know too much, so
2:03:55
Speaker 8: it was half for me to learn about myself about
2:04:00
Speaker 8: certain things. So you start to lose your head a
2:04:03
Speaker 8: little bit because you know you might be getting towards
2:04:06
Speaker 8: the end of your career and you're like, you know,
2:04:07
Speaker 8: what am I going to do? I can't fight forever, yeah,
2:04:10
Speaker 8: you know, and and again so like just all these
2:04:13
Speaker 8: you know, through the process you start to learn more
2:04:16
Speaker 8: and more about it. But because I remember, it wasn't
2:04:17
Speaker 8: that long ago that a guy asked me, goes, I
2:04:20
Speaker 8: wash your brand, I didn't even know what he meant
2:04:22
Speaker 8: by that, Like I honestly didn't know what he meant.
2:04:24
Speaker 8: And I'm just like, oh, you know, like I didn't
2:04:28
Speaker 8: even know because I was just like, you know, I
2:04:30
Speaker 8: just I just was a fighter. So it was I
2:04:32
Speaker 8: remember that like being asked to me, and like that
2:04:36
Speaker 8: sort of like flipped the switch.
2:04:37
Speaker 1: But I tried to.
2:04:39
Speaker 8: Get a better understanding of, you know, building your brand
2:04:42
Speaker 8: and whatnot. But it wasn't until probably the KO losses
2:04:51
Speaker 8: where I've sat back and be like, all right, I'm
2:04:54
Speaker 8: gonna take a big break and spend a lot more
2:04:57
Speaker 8: just family time and me first and then fighting last,
2:05:01
Speaker 8: which I haven't done for fifteen sixteen years. And so
2:05:05
Speaker 8: I did that, and then necessarily I started to doing
2:05:06
Speaker 8: more of the content. And that's where I always did
2:05:09
Speaker 8: the cooking with vocal do a bit of it. But
2:05:11
Speaker 8: then this is where I really really started pushing into it,
2:05:15
Speaker 8: and I guess go to real understanding. I understood it,
2:05:18
Speaker 8: but just go I'll go to be about it as well.
2:05:22
Speaker 8: And now it's taking off.
2:05:24
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm a big fan of the channel. I love
2:05:25
Speaker 10: all those catch cook clean you know videos you find
2:05:28
Speaker 10: on the internet. In fact, I just I'm not sure
2:05:30
Speaker 10: if this is the one they're playing for us right now.
2:05:31
Speaker 10: But you were just at the Great Barrier reef eating
2:05:34
Speaker 10: lobster on the beach. I was jealous. The production is fantastic. Shoot,
2:05:38
Speaker 10: you almost have as big as of a following on
2:05:40
Speaker 10: that as you do your personal channel. So I'm jealous
2:05:43
Speaker 10: of that, and I hope if I get down to Australia.
2:05:45
Speaker 1: Yeah's it. Let's say me and Clay came down to Australia.
2:05:49
Speaker 1: Do we went over to your house? Like, hey, we
2:05:50
Speaker 1: got a few extra spare beds, Clay and I bunk
2:05:53
Speaker 1: up together, and you're gonna cook us a good meal? Dude?
2:05:55
Speaker 1: What is volc with? Like, hey, you want to show
2:05:57
Speaker 1: off a meal? What are you making? All right?
2:05:59
Speaker 8: The best way to show off is the whole experience, right,
2:06:01
Speaker 8: So I've got to I've got a cabin at the
2:06:03
Speaker 8: bottom of the farm, so he's staying there for one good,
2:06:05
Speaker 8: good atmosphere. It's un beautiful spot.
2:06:09
Speaker 1: We'll go. I don't use a little bit of hunting. Yeah,
2:06:12
Speaker 1: were you go.
2:06:13
Speaker 8: Let's go catch our food, you know what I mean,
2:06:16
Speaker 8: Let's go do that. I've have plenty of a wild
2:06:19
Speaker 8: game around. Maybe catch something, do the whole process. Go
2:06:23
Speaker 8: pick some of the you know, the chilis or the
2:06:26
Speaker 8: cucumbers whatever from the garden. You know, we get the
2:06:28
Speaker 8: real experience, and then cook a barbecue over the fire.
2:06:32
Speaker 8: Maybe something we you know, if we could at least
2:06:35
Speaker 8: get something from what we caught, that would be cool,
2:06:38
Speaker 8: or something that we've previously got. But at least you
2:06:41
Speaker 8: knew that you've got the feeling of hunting something. We
2:06:43
Speaker 8: probably can't use that bach straight away, but yeah, it's
2:06:46
Speaker 8: like all right, give me some of that ship, you
2:06:48
Speaker 8: know what I mean.
2:06:48
Speaker 1: Like then.
2:06:51
Speaker 8: To go and then we're yeah, maybe a couple of
2:06:52
Speaker 8: beers over the fire, cook a cook some stuff over
2:06:55
Speaker 8: the fire, and get the whole experience. Just so that's
2:06:57
Speaker 8: I think that's the best. They don't even need a flights.
2:07:00
Speaker 1: Yeah we'll get We'll get your team club, you'll get
2:07:05
Speaker 1: that set up.
2:07:07
Speaker 8: That's how that's how we be.
2:07:09
Speaker 1: As you're talking to you this guy right here, he's
2:07:11
Speaker 1: cutting into the largest lobster I've ever seen in my
2:07:13
Speaker 1: entire What the hell is this thing? Steroids all up
2:07:16
Speaker 1: in it? What is we got?
2:07:19
Speaker 8: This is a regular lobster, regular lobster. But these ones
2:07:22
Speaker 8: are the biggest ones we have, and they even get
2:07:24
Speaker 8: bigger than that. So i've i've I remember my mate
2:07:27
Speaker 8: catching one not too far from from where I live,
2:07:30
Speaker 8: Like I can't remember how many kilos it was, but
2:07:32
Speaker 8: it was like like double the size of that, double
2:07:36
Speaker 8: the size. I'm just like what But these ones, the
2:07:39
Speaker 8: that he had, they were like three hundred years old.
2:07:43
Speaker 8: These ones don't go as old, he was saying, I
2:07:45
Speaker 8: thought this would be that one, because no, not these ones.
2:07:48
Speaker 8: The other ones that get that big, they're usually like
2:07:50
Speaker 8: three hundred years old. So you don't just put them back,
2:07:53
Speaker 8: you put them back. Look at multiple these ones.
2:07:57
Speaker 1: They're just that's normal. Centric club, that's normal for for
2:08:02
Speaker 1: these lobsters. And is this where this is being shot?
2:08:05
Speaker 1: Is this like by your house?
2:08:06
Speaker 7: No?
2:08:06
Speaker 8: No, no, no, So we're up in can So we're up.
2:08:10
Speaker 8: I was just there for twenty four hours because again,
2:08:12
Speaker 8: I member, I'm a fighter, so I need to and
2:08:15
Speaker 8: you know, obviously got my family and the trips needed.
2:08:19
Speaker 8: I try and make the trips quick. So this is
2:08:20
Speaker 8: a big, big trip for me.
2:08:22
Speaker 1: Do what I'm doing now.
2:08:23
Speaker 8: But I was just twenty four hours went up to
2:08:25
Speaker 8: Cans was like a free hour flight, twenty four hours
2:08:28
Speaker 8: on the boat. Just get as much content as we
2:08:31
Speaker 8: can and then and hit it back. But we got
2:08:33
Speaker 8: to do some unreal fish and mantles like this is
2:08:36
Speaker 8: what I got to look forward to. Though, you know,
2:08:38
Speaker 8: I can't do that, like you're making money doing it
2:08:41
Speaker 8: exactly wrong. It's not the money that I'm making fighting yet.
2:08:46
Speaker 8: But maybe we could get into that, you know what
2:08:48
Speaker 8: I mean, if we do it was like and like
2:08:50
Speaker 8: I mean, honestly, if I put that to that type
2:08:52
Speaker 8: of money, remember successful. I'm just want to be successful.
2:08:56
Speaker 8: I'll pack up the bags. A lot of people to
2:08:58
Speaker 8: hear that, right, I don't mind talking about a lot
2:09:01
Speaker 8: of people. I do it because everyone's gonna think of
2:09:03
Speaker 8: I don't have it anymore, don't. It's like, man, I've
2:09:05
Speaker 8: been thinking this the last two three.
2:09:07
Speaker 1: Years, you know what I mean, like four years even that.
2:09:10
Speaker 8: You know, that's just how it is.
2:09:11
Speaker 1: Again.
2:09:12
Speaker 8: My focus is being successful, my family and whatever choice
2:09:18
Speaker 8: I do that's gonna get me to that. I'm going
2:09:21
Speaker 8: all in. Yeah, So I don't know any other way.
2:09:23
Speaker 8: So people an actlock're gonna lose it. And that's what
2:09:25
Speaker 8: I'm telling you that I'm doing this for my family.
2:09:28
Speaker 8: Trust me, I'm going all in. You don't need to
2:09:31
Speaker 8: worry about that. I don't know any anything different when
2:09:33
Speaker 8: you're making decisions for your family. Let's let me give
2:09:35
Speaker 8: you a hypothetical. Okay, let's just pretend we're on the
2:09:39
Speaker 8: White House line right now and you're you're you're the
2:09:41
Speaker 8: last fight of the night, and you're fighting this guy
2:09:43
Speaker 8: and he is just absolutely piecing you the fuck up.
2:09:46
Speaker 8: He's just destroying it. And you're a high favorite in there.
2:09:49
Speaker 8: Completely hypothetical, complete hypothetical, and your your team's like, we
2:09:54
Speaker 8: gotta throw on the towel.
2:09:54
Speaker 1: Here are you throwing the towling?
2:09:58
Speaker 6: No?
2:09:58
Speaker 1: No, especially will yeah not Yeah, you can't.
2:10:02
Speaker 8: I mean I don't think you could ask any fight
2:10:04
Speaker 8: and they will say yes, because I'm gonna. I'm I'm
2:10:07
Speaker 8: a believers like never give up, like never, like you know,
2:10:10
Speaker 8: if the ref stops, all right, like and if it's
2:10:12
Speaker 8: out of hands, out his hands, but for me, it's
2:10:13
Speaker 8: like never give up, right, That's that's sort of my
2:10:16
Speaker 8: mindset mentality. It's always been like that and just I'll
2:10:21
Speaker 8: find a way. I've always felt like that's something that's
2:10:23
Speaker 8: helped me through my career, through through life. There's been
2:10:25
Speaker 8: a problem solver and and just finding a way. So
2:10:28
Speaker 8: I just feel like I could find a way. I
2:10:30
Speaker 8: would believe that I would find a way. Yeah, And
2:10:33
Speaker 8: so yeah, I would definitely not throwing the town on
2:10:36
Speaker 8: a completely difference if they did. If they made that
2:10:39
Speaker 8: decision and called it, I'm not I'm gonna appreciate them
2:10:42
Speaker 8: looking after me and I'm not going to be angry
2:10:43
Speaker 8: at them. But oh you know, I'll be like I
2:10:46
Speaker 8: reckon I could have you know.
2:10:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was ready to go for it where
2:10:53
Speaker 1: I wanted. Thank God, it's so vulnerable because he was
2:10:58
Speaker 1: that cocky dude. Because last I mean, this is complete
2:11:01
Speaker 1: different subjects, right, that was just hypothetical. Yep, that was
2:11:03
Speaker 1: just hypothetical. But last night with the POY, because I
2:11:06
Speaker 1: were sitting there in the stands and then the boys
2:11:09
Speaker 1: in the group chat saying like it sounded like to
2:11:11
Speaker 1: Poia didn't want to fight and club I would love
2:11:13
Speaker 1: for you to chime in on.
2:11:14
Speaker 10: This was.
2:11:16
Speaker 1: Because this is clump was trashing. No, no, no, what
2:11:24
Speaker 1: were you saying right now?
2:11:28
Speaker 3: But it sounded like, uh, he didn't want to keep going,
2:11:32
Speaker 3: and then the corner wanted him to keep going, and
2:11:34
Speaker 3: then he.
2:11:35
Speaker 2: Just kind of sat down. It was like, I'm done.
2:11:36
Speaker 1: We know exactly what he said.
2:11:38
Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what he said. I do know
2:11:39
Speaker 3: that was quick to make you were quick to sounded
2:11:42
Speaker 3: like his corner said, we're not so you were finishing,
2:11:45
Speaker 3: he assumed. He looked down and did not look back up,
2:11:47
Speaker 3: like hey, let's keep going.
2:11:49
Speaker 2: He was like, you're right.
2:11:50
Speaker 10: I think his brother said he wanted to finish the fight,
2:11:53
Speaker 10: and I think somebody else in his corner waved it off.
2:11:55
Speaker 10: That's the last i'd heard from But I listen. I
2:11:59
Speaker 10: think it looked like a right decision. It looked like
2:12:01
Speaker 10: he might have some broken bones in his face, and
2:12:03
Speaker 10: you're looking at the longevity of your fighter who's never
2:12:05
Speaker 10: been in a dog fight like that.
2:12:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
2:12:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'm pretty sure he straight away said to
2:12:16
Speaker 8: his brother, Ilia, did I can't see And that's when
2:12:19
Speaker 8: I think that's what I think. What is what happened,
2:12:23
Speaker 8: and then I think that's when they like said, I know,
2:12:26
Speaker 8: you do a breakdown so you can't see and like
2:12:28
Speaker 8: I'm looking at your face.
2:12:30
Speaker 1: Like yeah, dude, it looked like he looked like a
2:12:32
Speaker 1: demon from a horror movie. Lighting on him is like
2:12:35
Speaker 1: a masker over the eyes, all red everywhere, and.
2:12:38
Speaker 8: You could see it like he's hidding his eye and
2:12:39
Speaker 8: he was like yeah, like he was probably like pushing
2:12:43
Speaker 8: like bones pushing into his eyes, his eyes probably curling
2:12:47
Speaker 8: and stuff like that. Ship you probably get like like vision, like.
2:12:51
Speaker 1: You can do a breakdown on this, I have to
2:12:52
Speaker 1: check out.
2:12:53
Speaker 8: You always do a breakdown, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
2:12:56
Speaker 1: Yeah do it on the bus now the channel. That's
2:13:00
Speaker 1: a yeah, we do. We do like to do that much.
2:13:02
Speaker 8: Should have definitely done for such a big event as well.
2:13:04
Speaker 1: So here were doing this. When's this going out? Yeah?
2:13:06
Speaker 8: This will go out tomorrow, Okay, yeah tomorrow at six am?
2:13:10
Speaker 1: What did you what did you need to do better?
2:13:13
Speaker 1: In his head, well, we come. He rushed.
2:13:17
Speaker 8: He rushed very early obviously, was expecting to get early finished,
2:13:22
Speaker 8: try to force that, which he could have definitely did that.
2:13:27
Speaker 8: But I mean there's always a risk of not lending
2:13:30
Speaker 8: them shots and you're going to obviously get a little fatigued,
2:13:32
Speaker 8: and not only that, you put yourself in a position
2:13:35
Speaker 8: where you know. But in saying that, obviously he I'm
2:13:39
Speaker 8: saying he rushed it. But Justin did a great job too,
2:13:43
Speaker 8: justin jabbing on the back foot while he was coming forward,
2:13:47
Speaker 8: like jabbing enough on the back foot to be out
2:13:49
Speaker 8: of a position where Ilia wasn't in a position to counter.
2:13:53
Speaker 8: So he had a lot of success with that. Ilia
2:13:55
Speaker 8: likes the counter as well. Obviously, Ilia still had his moments,
2:14:00
Speaker 8: would land some big shots as well, but it just
2:14:02
Speaker 8: because he kept walking forward. I felt like even when
2:14:05
Speaker 8: he was fighting a distance and when he chose to
2:14:07
Speaker 8: fire from distance, Ilia did a great job. And he
2:14:10
Speaker 8: was landing land his right hand like five times in
2:14:13
Speaker 8: that first round, at which gates you took well went
2:14:16
Speaker 8: with it. But he was able to do it at
2:14:18
Speaker 8: a safer distance. But he just wanted to push forward,
2:14:22
Speaker 8: keep coming forward and just rush it, rush it, and
2:14:24
Speaker 8: then that's where the damage just started. He would have
2:14:26
Speaker 8: been fighting, so it's a job.
2:14:27
Speaker 1: I don't care.
2:14:28
Speaker 8: But the next minute, boom and all of a sudden,
2:14:30
Speaker 8: your eyes starting to go up. The damage starting now
2:14:32
Speaker 8: you're starting to get tired because you're trying to force it,
2:14:35
Speaker 8: and then it just went downhill. And then even when
2:14:37
Speaker 8: he took him down and then got up, I felt
2:14:40
Speaker 8: like that took it out of him as well. So,
2:14:43
Speaker 8: you know, just like forcing him to fight like that
2:14:45
Speaker 8: was always going to be his biggest was always going
2:14:50
Speaker 8: to be a problem for him. I've seen him fatigue
2:14:53
Speaker 8: a couple of times he fights. I'm like, oh, but
2:14:55
Speaker 8: then he was managed to finish the fight straight after,
2:14:58
Speaker 8: so he's always done seeing a bit of adversity and
2:15:00
Speaker 8: pulled through. But this was a lot more adversity. You
2:15:03
Speaker 8: could see him still trying.
2:15:05
Speaker 1: But it was just just do we know who won?
2:15:06
Speaker 1: The fourth round just went his vision's gone.
2:15:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, the fire got too high at the end. I mean,
2:15:12
Speaker 8: I mean his face just looked like Justin was coming
2:15:17
Speaker 8: on to win the fight, like you know what I mean.
2:15:19
Speaker 8: I think that like a fourth round he won still
2:15:21
Speaker 8: even though Iliot got to take down, but he got
2:15:23
Speaker 8: straight back up. But Justin was leaning so much, so
2:15:27
Speaker 8: many shots. I think what the third round as well,
2:15:31
Speaker 8: it might have been two to two.
2:15:34
Speaker 10: I felt like the fourth round was a little bit
2:15:35
Speaker 10: of a task. I think the third round is when
2:15:37
Speaker 10: Geechee really took over. Second round was to pour.
2:15:39
Speaker 8: When he was still I still gave the I still
2:15:41
Speaker 8: gave the fourth round to to to Gech Like there
2:15:44
Speaker 8: was a lot of early success. He landed a lot. Yeah,
2:15:49
Speaker 8: I believe so. I think it was too too going
2:15:50
Speaker 8: in there. But I just couldn't see, you know, Ilia
2:15:54
Speaker 8: winning that last round. You know, so it was I
2:15:56
Speaker 8: think the ref anyway, we're saying that the the coaches,
2:16:01
Speaker 8: the team called the fight. The doctors were going to
2:16:03
Speaker 8: call the fight anyway.
2:16:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, after when they checked him, they tried to call
2:16:07
Speaker 1: it and they ended up not calling it. Was like,
2:16:09
Speaker 1: all right, so and then a little while and he
2:16:12
Speaker 1: started copple more damage. You seeing him do these ones.
2:16:14
Speaker 1: I'm not going he needs to finish the fight because
2:16:15
Speaker 1: the doctors are stopping it as soon as he goes
2:16:17
Speaker 1: to the corner. Yeah, you know, they're going to look
2:16:19
Speaker 1: at him and call it one hundred percent of doing it.
2:16:21
Speaker 1: So that's so I was like, he needs to finish
2:16:23
Speaker 1: it this round. He didn't.
2:16:24
Speaker 8: I was like waiting for the I was waiting for
2:16:26
Speaker 8: the the refs to and doctors to call it off.
2:16:29
Speaker 8: I didn't expect to feel, so in your opinion, they
2:16:32
Speaker 8: let it go longer than you expected. No, no, like
2:16:36
Speaker 8: a he was still again, like I don't know what
2:16:39
Speaker 8: the ref scene, the doctor's scene, like obviously he's doing
2:16:42
Speaker 8: these ones and the obviously he's I couldn't follow, But yeah,
2:16:47
Speaker 8: I know we're fighters, man, Like, we're just gonna keep going.
2:16:51
Speaker 1: When you're when you're in that deep of water in
2:16:54
Speaker 1: the third, fourth, fifth rounds of championship rounds, how much
2:16:57
Speaker 1: are you able to hear your coaching from the corner,
2:17:00
Speaker 1: because I'm sure like this was a very unique fight
2:17:03
Speaker 1: because it felt like an APEX fight where there's much
2:17:06
Speaker 1: more intimate. You can kind of hear the sounds. You
2:17:07
Speaker 1: can almost hear the coaches talking. But when you're in Vegas,
2:17:11
Speaker 1: you're in Australia and you're having these massive fights and
2:17:13
Speaker 1: the crowds are absolutely going crazy, are you able to
2:17:16
Speaker 1: hear your team tell you make adjustments right in the
2:17:20
Speaker 1: middle of rounds? Well not, why not?
2:17:21
Speaker 8: When big things are happening, but you know it's gonna
2:17:25
Speaker 8: be muffled from all the crowd. But I mean, the
2:17:27
Speaker 8: crowd's not going crazy the whole time, so you will
2:17:29
Speaker 8: hear them you will hear them here and there, but
2:17:33
Speaker 8: when when when, When it's loud, you won't. But a
2:17:36
Speaker 8: lot of the times it's not. You know, you're saying
2:17:39
Speaker 8: something crazy happens if you're trying to listen to instruction.
2:17:41
Speaker 8: Not a good time to listen to your corner. Let's
2:17:44
Speaker 8: worry about what's Get in front of this right now,
2:17:47
Speaker 8: get it back at range. Usually it settles a bit.
2:17:50
Speaker 8: The instructions coming you can hear, so you definitely hear,
2:17:53
Speaker 8: but it's you know, not while the crowd's going nuts.
2:17:57
Speaker 1: It is. But there's a easy game. Man, it is
2:18:01
Speaker 1: a crazy thing to watch.
2:18:03
Speaker 3: I have mma question that. Okay, yes, the body shots
2:18:09
Speaker 3: this is again me sitting on the couch for you.
2:18:11
Speaker 3: But lights deep, like when you hurt someone in the body,
2:18:14
Speaker 3: how quick do they recover? Like why didn't he keep
2:18:16
Speaker 3: going back? Because I mean, get you it's hurt. It's
2:18:18
Speaker 3: like what what's the recovery time for something like that?
2:18:20
Speaker 5: Oh?
2:18:20
Speaker 8: It's it's nasty because it gets to a point where
2:18:23
Speaker 8: you know, you feel if your face hurts or something,
2:18:26
Speaker 8: it's like, all right, like who cares it hurts that
2:18:29
Speaker 8: your body?
2:18:30
Speaker 1: It takes like and you get a body ripped. It's
2:18:32
Speaker 1: not just.
2:18:33
Speaker 8: Painful, it's very very painful. But now your your your
2:18:37
Speaker 8: body has big reactions to it, Like you can't just
2:18:40
Speaker 8: be like all right, sometimes you can't. Like as times
2:18:42
Speaker 8: I get body ripping, you've got to you've gotta have
2:18:44
Speaker 8: a poker face. So you see they're like, no, I'm good,
2:18:46
Speaker 8: I'm good at like nothing's happening. But then there's shots
2:18:49
Speaker 8: like that he he turned that body rip into that
2:18:53
Speaker 8: went that went through, that went straight from.
2:18:55
Speaker 1: That accumulative too, So like if he were to keep
2:18:57
Speaker 1: ripping out of it.
2:18:59
Speaker 8: We'll got it a couple of times. And you've seen
2:19:00
Speaker 8: that one that just sunk in. That's when you have
2:19:02
Speaker 8: to go down and just protect like it just you
2:19:04
Speaker 8: have to protect it. Go down, you're going to your
2:19:06
Speaker 8: head's going to be vulnerable. But then when Ilia followed gate,
2:19:10
Speaker 8: you did a good enough job to sort of end
2:19:13
Speaker 8: up just accepting the bad position. But I can't get
2:19:16
Speaker 8: hit anymore. And then so that's that's sort of like
2:19:20
Speaker 8: that's how we survived. You know, if you try to
2:19:22
Speaker 8: stay standing and like you know or something, it's he
2:19:26
Speaker 8: would have just got finished. I think as he went
2:19:29
Speaker 8: to the ground, you know, you're curling up in the ball.
2:19:31
Speaker 8: And then luckily, I guess Ilia tried to pass his
2:19:38
Speaker 8: guard like Ilia went in and like punch a couple
2:19:40
Speaker 8: of try to pass gave him a little bit of
2:19:42
Speaker 8: time to just now we're having a bit of a grapple,
2:19:45
Speaker 8: so I don't have to worry about you, you know,
2:19:47
Speaker 8: sinking another knuckle down my ribs.
2:19:49
Speaker 1: You know.
2:19:50
Speaker 8: So that's sort of a that's how we survived. But
2:19:52
Speaker 8: here one hundred percent if he hit it within a minute.
2:19:55
Speaker 8: Inside that again a big, big trouble.
2:20:00
Speaker 1: Have some fan questions, a fan, you're a fan favorite
2:20:03
Speaker 1: right here, but this one's from holding Underscore in ninety one.
2:20:06
Speaker 1: What is it like being so much smaller playing rugby
2:20:08
Speaker 1: crazy straight and hang with the hanging with the big boys,
2:20:11
Speaker 1: And how did you transfer that bulldog mindset over to
2:20:14
Speaker 1: m m A.
2:20:16
Speaker 8: Yeah, But it's weird because I've I never used to
2:20:20
Speaker 8: see myself as being like small, like you know. It's
2:20:22
Speaker 8: funny because I look at like videos and like, now
2:20:24
Speaker 8: I know I'm small, like you know, it's back then
2:20:28
Speaker 8: I didn't like I feel like I was like you know,
2:20:30
Speaker 8: you know, you get the chihuahuas and all that. I
2:20:35
Speaker 8: guess I was like that. You know, That's how it
2:20:37
Speaker 8: was even early in my career.
2:20:40
Speaker 1: I would.
2:20:43
Speaker 8: I would like, it's the training Thailand, and you would
2:20:46
Speaker 8: have like there's one hundred people to train for sparring sessions,
2:20:50
Speaker 8: so they would want to split up the group, have
2:20:54
Speaker 8: you guys bigger guys, smaller guys. So I would like,
2:20:57
Speaker 8: so they'll go there and line up, and like I'm
2:20:59
Speaker 8: like this, I guess I'm thinking, like, hey, I should
2:21:02
Speaker 8: be around here, and I'm like, yeah, they're they're laughing
2:21:05
Speaker 8: at me just like like a lot of times because
2:21:07
Speaker 8: it's the coach that I have now, but they're like, well,
2:21:09
Speaker 8: get over there there, because I'm like I'm used to
2:21:12
Speaker 8: big boys in that as well from playing rugby league
2:21:15
Speaker 8: and whatnot and even training back home, like I was
2:21:18
Speaker 8: always training big guys. But so I just assume that
2:21:22
Speaker 8: I'm just going to do it over there. But they're
2:21:23
Speaker 8: just sort of now like go here. So like I
2:21:25
Speaker 8: just see myself, I look at somebody like he's my size,
2:21:30
Speaker 8: but they're towering over me monthly like twice the size.
2:21:33
Speaker 8: That's just how I look at it. So I guess
2:21:35
Speaker 8: that got me through it a bit, you know what,
2:21:36
Speaker 8: I mean like a bit delusional. We're talking about I'm
2:21:40
Speaker 8: a delusion, little little to that thinks it's tempted to
2:21:43
Speaker 8: tak it works luckily, you know what I mean. If
2:21:45
Speaker 8: I didn't have the skills to back it up, I'll
2:21:46
Speaker 8: be in trouble.
2:21:48
Speaker 1: But this little two hour bar ca by the way,
2:21:53
Speaker 1: it's alas the number two in dog attacks, number two people.
2:21:59
Speaker 8: Yeah, very aggressive actually now then, yeah, actually that's they
2:22:06
Speaker 8: are quite aggressive. But actually, well rest in peace, just
2:22:10
Speaker 8: a actual while two hour just passed away actually last week.
2:22:16
Speaker 1: No, yeah, yeah, yeah, so.
2:22:17
Speaker 8: That was aage but uh yeah that was while I
2:22:22
Speaker 8: was away.
2:22:22
Speaker 1: But yeah, he was he was cool, he was chill.
2:22:24
Speaker 1: He wasn't like that.
2:22:25
Speaker 8: Usually the chu hours you hear that they're very aggressive.
2:22:29
Speaker 1: But no, he wasn't got a spot in my heart
2:22:31
Speaker 1: for two hours. Man.
2:22:32
Speaker 8: Sorry, bring that up next.
2:22:35
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you want to be sad, we
2:22:36
Speaker 1: can be sad together. How much did you love that dog?
2:22:39
Speaker 1: Was that your favorite dog of all time?
2:22:41
Speaker 8: It was?

Speaker 8: like in a spoiled like that. They love my dad's
2:22:55
Speaker 8: house and they just always end up there. Like it
2:22:57
Speaker 8: went to a point where he would always look after
2:22:59
Speaker 8: him and he would get it because I'm busy and
2:23:01
Speaker 8: all that, and I felt bad like I wouldn't give
2:23:03
Speaker 8: the dog enough attention, especially knowing how much attention it
2:23:06
Speaker 8: got at my dad's house. I just like my dad
2:23:09

Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, yeah, and many give an animal
2:24:02

2:24:03
Speaker 8: Yeah it is now done. Yeah, you can't go slaugher
2:24:06
Speaker 8: that I think. You know, we're meant to be farmers.
2:24:10
Speaker 8: Here's a story that I was like telling you. I said,
2:24:14
Speaker 8: we can't let anyone know this, and I've said it
2:24:16
Speaker 8: a million times now, but the first chicken, we got
2:24:19
Speaker 8: a chicken only we had the cows that are on
2:24:21
Speaker 8: the farm, and we had a chicken that was on
2:24:23
Speaker 8: the farm. And Henny Penny name was come with the farm.
2:24:27
Speaker 8: And it was like it liked you humans, you know.
2:24:30
Speaker 8: I'm like, well, this is like our our pet, you

2:24:37
Speaker 8: hand and you can pat it. I'm like, how goods is?
2:24:40
Speaker 8: So we end up we end up getting a couple
2:24:44
Speaker 8: more chickens, but then it got sick. Mind you chickens
2:24:47
Speaker 8: cost twenty dollars or something.
2:24:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had chickens.
2:24:52
Speaker 8: So it was like we got sick and we're like,
2:24:54
Speaker 8: oh men, like, what do we do, Like, we're going
2:24:57
Speaker 8: to do vet bill was going to cost like five
2:24:58
Speaker 8: six hundred dollars that and I'm like, oh man, it's
2:25:01
Speaker 8: any penny, man, it's our first one. All right, this
2:25:06
Speaker 8: is the only chicken. We're going to do it well
2:25:08
Speaker 8: because our first one to come with the farm. You know,
2:25:10
Speaker 8: it's got a soft spot. So we did that and
2:25:12
Speaker 8: it costs us. It costs us a bit of money.
2:25:14
Speaker 8: It ended up dying anyway, but money, and we've got
2:25:19
Speaker 8: a little bit better, not really, but then I just said, yeah,
2:25:22
Speaker 8: it wasn't long and to pass away, so do you
2:25:24
Speaker 8: call the bet? And I'm going to need that got

2:25:28
Speaker 8: so my dad had to handle handle business, handle business,
2:25:33
Speaker 8: and he's got a soft spot from so it would
2:25:35
Speaker 8: have been hard for him. But at the same time,
2:25:37
Speaker 8: it was hard to looking at it, the poor thing,
2:25:38
Speaker 8: you know, yeah, poor heady penny.
2:25:40
Speaker 1: Also all right, Peter, our chickens like the ultimate prey.
2:25:47
Speaker 6: We have.
2:25:48
Speaker 1: We have like a half a dozen chickens at our
2:25:49
Speaker 1: house and it's a revolving door, zero defense.
2:25:54
Speaker 8: You know, have you see what they are like? You know,
2:25:57
Speaker 8: they say the you know, like the training where you
2:26:00
Speaker 8: run around and like I can't get like most of
2:26:02
Speaker 8: the time you get anywhere near they Yeah.
2:26:04
Speaker 1: They go into this like fetal like excepting death. Yeah,
2:26:08
Speaker 1: they give them this weird like squatty mode. We go
2:26:11
Speaker 1: a couple of yeah, we'll let them out, and it's like,
2:26:13
Speaker 1: you want your chickens to be happy because they're giving
2:26:15
Speaker 1: you eggs. You want the whole thing, so like you
2:26:17
Speaker 1: can getting cooped up, but they actually lay less when
2:26:19
Speaker 1: you keep them cooped up. So we love the free
2:26:21
Speaker 1: range a little bit. But I swear to God, every
2:26:23
Speaker 1: third day I come out one guy's like chest completely
2:26:25

2:26:33
Speaker 1: you're like pretty faced by it. You're like, oh my god,
2:26:36
Speaker 1: like this is true nature versus nurture type of situation

Speaker 8: if they if they were to even think of it.
2:28:35
Speaker 8: But obviously it hasn't ever. I don't think it's ever
2:28:38
Speaker 8: happened before. Like you said, I think about it, I'm like, oh,
2:28:41
Speaker 8: you know, you'd imagine trying to take my kid?
2:28:43
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, wingspan like that, Like they could definitely take
2:28:46
Speaker 1: a small child, Yeah for sure, just fly away.
2:28:49
Speaker 8: But I mean but what I what I will do?
2:28:51
Speaker 8: Obviously we're gonna just scare them off. They are beautiful creatures,
2:28:54
Speaker 8: but I mean I can't have them taking all my
2:28:57
Speaker 8: hony pennies.
2:28:57
Speaker 1: You know exactly. But this is where like my dumb
2:29:00
Speaker 1: American mindset goes to, Like you think about Australia, I
2:29:02
Speaker 1: just think every animal out there wants to get you.
2:29:05
Speaker 1: And then you're bringing up these eagles, like is it
2:29:07
Speaker 1: It's really not like that because I know, like my
2:29:10
Speaker 1: wife's from Canada, so I'll go up to I'll go
2:29:12
Speaker 1: up to Canada and they'll be like, how do you
2:29:13
Speaker 1: guys deal with It's got to be terrifying to live
2:29:15
Speaker 1: in America. It's like, no, no, no, it's actually great,
2:29:18
Speaker 1: it's awesome. And so when I view Australia, it's like
2:29:21
Speaker 1: the snakes, all the poisonous things, and you're it's not
2:29:24
Speaker 1: like that at all. I mean, I mean you're not.
2:29:26
Speaker 1: You're not.
2:29:26
Speaker 8: You're not dodging snake bots every every staff. You know,
2:29:32
Speaker 8: you could probably get some of my like snakes that
2:29:36
Speaker 8: I put some up on my on my like on
2:29:40
Speaker 8: my socials and that, like because we've got we do
2:29:41
Speaker 8: get a.
2:29:42
Speaker 1: Few of them around.
2:29:42
Speaker 8: You've handled a few, yeah, yeah, well I'll go domad plythins.
2:29:45
Speaker 8: So if you you could end up on and a
2:29:47
Speaker 8: domad plythons. I'm there the pathins. So they're not poisonous.
2:29:51
Speaker 8: There's one on my head. See that one that's wild.
2:29:53
Speaker 8: I just caught it ten minutes before that. Buddy, This
2:29:57
Speaker 8: is my greatest fear of snakes.
2:29:59
Speaker 1: I not these one. These ones are good. You luck
2:30:01
Speaker 1: these ones. This one wipe around your neck.
2:30:02
Speaker 8: I don't know if you know, but this one I
2:30:05
Speaker 8: literally just got it like within ten minutes I had it.
2:30:08
Speaker 1: It was like a pet.
2:30:10
Speaker 8: They're not all like that, but but this one, these
2:30:12
Speaker 8: ones are very poisonous.
2:30:14
Speaker 1: Child ye like two year old. She probably wasn't even
2:30:17
Speaker 1: two here, like I let her go around her like
2:30:20
Speaker 1: this was very very very chill.
2:30:23
Speaker 8: But but we do have some poisonous there, but not
2:30:26
Speaker 8: the real poisonous ones, because we've got the red belly
2:30:29
Speaker 8: black snakes that are poisonous.
2:30:31
Speaker 1: They can kill you still, but I'm sure I want
2:30:33
Speaker 1: to see your red belly blacks.
2:30:34
Speaker 8: Yeah, they can get big too, but they kill all
2:30:36
Speaker 8: the brown snakes or the real deadly ones, so they
2:30:38
Speaker 8: keep all the bad ones. Yeah, we don't mind having
2:30:40
Speaker 8: them around because they will be alright, you know, we
2:30:43
Speaker 8: get hip by one of them, like, we'll be right. Hey, Okay,
2:30:48
Speaker 8: this perfect timing for my next thing.
2:30:51
Speaker 1: So so miss said wolf spiders wolfe Okay, well we've
2:30:56
Speaker 1: got different wolf spiders maybe then Okay, the wolf spiders
2:31:01
Speaker 1: that we're mentioned both thinking of right now, the big boys,
2:31:03
Speaker 1: right camera riders.
2:31:06
Speaker 8: Okay, we're going wolf spiders, but mustn't be those pull
2:31:12
Speaker 8: up in Australia, put up put up funnel web, funnel
2:31:15
Speaker 8: web f yep. Yeah, so you've got these. You will
2:31:20
Speaker 8: see the whole can you. They're like, I think, the
2:31:23
Speaker 8: most dangerous spider in the world, most poisonous. So can
2:31:26
Speaker 8: you look up funn ofweb holes? Sorry man, funnel web hales. Yes,
2:31:31
Speaker 8: see these holes, this is where funnel webs live. So
2:31:35
Speaker 8: I've seen the like even the other ones. If you
2:31:38
Speaker 8: go out like the one's got the webs, but you've
2:31:40
Speaker 8: got the ones that don't have web see the ones
2:31:41
Speaker 8: that are just perfect holes. Ye down the cabin that
2:31:44
Speaker 8: I said you are going to sleep in, there are
2:31:49
Speaker 8: I'm not lying when I say a thousand of these
2:31:52
Speaker 8: around it, but hear me, hear me out, So I
2:31:58
Speaker 8: don't know ifn So I still don't know.
2:32:00
Speaker 1: Can you look, sorry man putting you to work?
2:32:03
Speaker 8: Can you put up wolf spider Australian wolf spider hole?
2:32:08
Speaker 1: Your boys and your boys are in the back with
2:32:09
Speaker 1: the headphones on and this this is crazy.
2:32:14
Speaker 8: So exact same. So I don't know if I don't know,
2:32:17
Speaker 8: Actually I should find out if something there, thinking, I
2:32:19
Speaker 8: hope it's these ones, but they're probably deadly anyway. But
2:32:22
Speaker 8: I mean, like I've got the thousands of these holes
2:32:25
Speaker 8: all over like the yard down there, perfect holes by
2:32:30
Speaker 8: the cabin.
2:32:31
Speaker 1: You don't see him. It's all right, you'll be right.
2:32:33
Speaker 8: But that's what I mean.
2:32:33
Speaker 1: There's a look at him. Oh man, Yeah, that's like
2:32:41
Speaker 1: that's a Harry Potter. Yeah, you're wrong.
2:32:46
Speaker 8: Are they deadly? I should probably know that because I'm
2:32:49
Speaker 8: thinking that because I got told that we get a
2:32:51
Speaker 8: lot of wolf spiders. I'm like, that must be what
2:32:53
Speaker 8: it is. We're sweet, That's what I got in my head.
2:32:56
Speaker 8: We're sweet because the wolf spiders.
2:32:59
Speaker 10: I don't think wolf spider are dangerous, Like we got
2:33:01
Speaker 10: them all over my land.
2:33:02
Speaker 5: And just like I'm just thinking they're just big spiders
2:33:04
Speaker 5: are just scary looking. I don't think they're dangerous. They're
2:33:08
Speaker 5: not dangerous.
2:33:08
Speaker 1: But they're called camel spiders.
2:33:11
Speaker 5: You're thinking of a different spider ones.
2:33:19
Speaker 1: Dangerous. Yeah, we're good handled that.
2:33:27
Speaker 8: I haven't I haven't confirmed that it's not the funnelweb yet,
2:33:33
Speaker 8: but the funnel Web is hoping it's these ones.
2:33:37
Speaker 1: The funnel web is a bad one fun away.
2:33:38
Speaker 8: But I think he's the most dangerous spider that will
2:33:41
Speaker 8: kill you.
2:33:41
Speaker 1: I think the most.
2:33:43
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we've got the most venomous everything. I
2:33:45
Speaker 8: think it is the most venomous spider in the world.
2:33:47
Speaker 8: I could be wrong, but I think it is.
2:33:49
Speaker 1: So you see how this podcast is going right. We
2:33:51
Speaker 1: kind of started with like, you don't have to worry
2:33:53
Speaker 1: about it. We're not dodging them all around. And now
2:33:54
Speaker 1: you're like, everything's venomous, everything will kill you.
2:33:57
Speaker 8: I mean, they're there, but you can still pitch your
2:33:59
Speaker 8: tent and you know they're right pitcher swag straight on
2:34:07
Speaker 8: the funnewear holes. Oh my, you're actually is perfect. That's
2:34:10
Speaker 8: where you pitch a ten. Use the funnewear holes as
2:34:12
Speaker 8: a tent. Pole holes, no problem, liked in se solvent
2:34:18
Speaker 8: they can't come out of them. Four holes now two.
2:34:21
Speaker 1: Big what's that? Have you seen any box jellyfish?
2:34:24
Speaker 6: No?
2:34:25
Speaker 8: So where we went in Cairns, So we went in
2:34:27
Speaker 8: the water. There's that's where a lot of crocodiles and
2:34:30
Speaker 8: box jellyfish urukenji urkenji is the small ones more more
2:34:34
Speaker 8: dangerous in box jellyfish, and they're more dangerous because you
2:34:38
Speaker 8: can barely see them there. They're a lot longer, but
2:34:41
Speaker 8: there's heaps of them. But where we women a bit
2:34:43
Speaker 8: further out where there's not as many. So we're swimming
2:34:45
Speaker 8: all through through these things, but there's a lot of
2:34:47
Speaker 8: and now they will kill you. Like where we're going
2:34:49
Speaker 8: as well, we get hit by one of those with
2:34:51
Speaker 8: dead because there we're like three hours away from from
2:34:54
Speaker 8: cans so out in the Great Barrel Reef, but there's
2:34:57
Speaker 8: not as many out there, so I guess. Yeah, I mean,
2:35:01
Speaker 8: travel your brain just got what are we talking about?
2:35:04
Speaker 8: We're talking about jellyfish just around the most kenji I
2:35:14
Speaker 8: think I said that, right, is even smaller than the
2:35:17
Speaker 8: box boxing fish. They're very dangerous, but the ken was
2:35:20
Speaker 8: even more dangerous. And yeah, and yeah, I think they.
2:35:26
Speaker 1: Have the biggest great way.
2:35:27
Speaker 8: Jelly fucking things that will kill you, you know, jelly
2:35:32
Speaker 8: floating in the waters.
2:35:33
Speaker 1: Just yeah, that will kill you. Yeah.
2:35:36
Speaker 8: I guess the more and more you talk about it,
2:35:38
Speaker 8: like because we will go place, plenty of sharks in
2:35:41
Speaker 8: that as well, so you're gonna yeah, I mean I
2:35:43
Speaker 8: swam with a shark.
2:35:44
Speaker 1: That's probably one of my latest I'm sure swimming with
2:35:48
Speaker 1: a shark. Shark was it? It was? It was?
2:35:52
Speaker 8: It was a bull shark most look man, you know,
2:35:57
Speaker 8: the most aggressive shark in the world. It's fine, they're
2:36:01
Speaker 8: not as big, but.
2:36:02
Speaker 1: Australia's just a big Florida. It sounds like that's what
2:36:05
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, it is nuts.
2:36:09
Speaker 8: That's one that we do down. Oh, that's something I
2:36:11
Speaker 8: can take you.
2:36:11
Speaker 1: I can ease you when you're with the mask on
2:36:13
Speaker 1: in that middle photo is hilarious.
2:36:14
Speaker 8: Yeah, so there's one I go down and swim. These
2:36:16
Speaker 8: are grey nurse. So this one, these ones are all right,
2:36:18
Speaker 8: this isn't the one that this isn't the bull shark.
2:36:21
Speaker 8: These ones you I can take. It's like ten minutes
2:36:23
Speaker 8: from the house and we'll go swimming with the sharks.
2:36:25
Speaker 8: They're cool, they re chill. They actually will chill. They've
2:36:28
Speaker 8: got some cool teeth. So I wanted to show the
2:36:31
Speaker 8: teeth because I'm like, they look nasty, but they actually
2:36:33
Speaker 8: really chill. Like you're not allowed there, you're not allowed
2:36:37
Speaker 8: to pattern.
2:36:38
Speaker 1: See that just popped up.
2:36:39
Speaker 8: I didn't see that one everywhere. They're pretty gowns because yeah, man,
2:36:46
Speaker 8: school of them.
2:36:46
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
2:36:47
Speaker 8: Come come sleep with the spiders and come swim with
2:36:50
Speaker 8: the sharks.
2:36:50
Speaker 1: Man, you will love it.
2:36:55
Speaker 8: Take this one on my last that we just did, well,
2:36:59
Speaker 8: that's a guy I.
2:36:59
Speaker 1: Did it with, but I should just give.
2:37:04
Speaker 8: Yeah, it is the same gay. Yes, well that's what
2:37:06
Speaker 8: he does either. He actually goes on remote places on
2:37:10
Speaker 8: the island. I'm an island with just a spear for
2:37:12
Speaker 8: the next twenty four hours. So I thought that's what
2:37:14
Speaker 8: we're going to do. I was like, okay, be prepared
2:37:17
Speaker 8: for it might be wild.
2:37:20
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there you go.
2:37:21
Speaker 8: So so we end up getting it and I jump
2:37:24
Speaker 8: in with it. So we we jump in with it,
2:37:26
Speaker 8: and there was a kobe fish under it. So I
2:37:29
Speaker 8: tried to spear the kobe fish under the bull shark,
2:37:32
Speaker 8: but obviously the hook was still in its mouth. And
2:37:34
Speaker 8: then we're holding the towel, so we'll sweet. I mean,
2:37:36
Speaker 8: the line can easily stenap and then we're in big chump.
2:37:40
Speaker 1: But that didn't ever. But it didn't happen.
2:37:43
Speaker 5: You might be like the coolest guy.
2:37:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, all these risky things, but they didn't happen.
2:37:51
Speaker 8: Risk involved because you know, you're saying like, when you
2:37:52
Speaker 8: have kids, you end up like you know, you end
2:37:55
Speaker 8: up being pretty Yeah, like that was that's true, but
2:37:58
Speaker 8: I think it was my fighting career as well. But
2:38:01
Speaker 8: now that I'm like, so when I was sitting there,
2:38:04
Speaker 8: like I didn't want to, I see danger everywhere and
2:38:06
Speaker 8: all that. So but now when I'm having a bit
2:38:07
Speaker 8: of a break. So when I had the big break
2:38:10
Speaker 8: after two knockouts, I mean, I start, I wanted to
2:38:13
Speaker 8: ride bulls. I wanted to like I don't know. I
2:38:15
Speaker 8: was like, I think I needed an adrenaline rustle. Somebody
2:38:18
Speaker 8: what it was, and maybe it's a thing like you'd
2:38:20
Speaker 8: be like, what are you gonna do to me?
2:38:21
Speaker 1: Get there?
2:38:22
Speaker 7: Now?
2:38:22
Speaker 1: By do that?
2:38:22
Speaker 8: And I'm like, actually makes sense because I wanted to
2:38:25
Speaker 8: swim with sharks and jump in with crocodiles and whatnot,
2:38:28
Speaker 8: Like ILL sit there and you reckon, we should do this.
2:38:30
Speaker 8: My manager wasn't happy about me jumping in with a shark.
2:38:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's what's one thing that you would love to
2:38:36
Speaker 1: do for an adrenaline rush that you haven't done yet?
2:38:39
Speaker 1: Question could be the black clasture, but that's another, but
2:38:42
Speaker 1: the question.
2:38:44
Speaker 8: Luck, okay, something crazy that I was like, you know
2:38:47
Speaker 8: what you mentioned.
2:38:48
Speaker 1: Riding a ball, something like maybe a great weight, getting
2:38:51
Speaker 1: the cage with great way.
2:38:52
Speaker 8: I mean, that's that would be cool. I think that'd
2:38:54
Speaker 8: be awesome.
2:38:55
Speaker 1: As you're kind of breaking down this Australia thing in
2:38:57
Speaker 1: my head that's actually happening, I'm like, it'd be sick
2:38:59
Speaker 1: for us. Yeah, they go see what where they get
2:39:03
Speaker 1: in the Yeah yeah, yeah, But in his logic, it's
2:39:06
Speaker 1: like what if if it doesn't happen, it's all good,
2:39:08
Speaker 1: it's true. Yeah, And that's that's the bad logic we
2:39:10
Speaker 1: kind of need, you know, Like you know, I'm more
2:39:12
Speaker 1: scared of crocodiles and than the sharks, right.
2:39:15
Speaker 8: Because they hunt you, right, they they will like if
2:39:19
Speaker 8: like they will pretty much you know, if they're laying
2:39:22
Speaker 8: in the water hiding and you're next to it, they
2:39:25
Speaker 8: will get you one hundred percent of the times try
2:39:28
Speaker 8: and get you. You're top thing, you know what I mean,
2:39:30
Speaker 8: Like a shark will be like I know, it's you know,
2:39:32
Speaker 8: misidentity and you know, like all that sort of stuff.
2:39:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's cool.
2:39:40
Speaker 8: I'm in a glass tank. Though it's a glass, it
2:39:44
Speaker 8: was at least the milk thick. Now it'll stick, it'll stick.
2:39:46
Speaker 8: Nothing getting through that. I mean that that's cool. But
2:39:48
Speaker 8: I mean there are things that like so when you're
2:39:50
Speaker 8: up in kens and you go like I said, I
2:39:52
Speaker 8: was in Kings, but I was out where the crocodiles
2:39:54
Speaker 8: very rare to see where we were. But you do
2:39:56
Speaker 8: not want to go anywhere near any rivers, any even
2:40:00
Speaker 8: even say this truck was just a little bit of water,
2:40:03
Speaker 8: don't go near it. They they're sitting there hiding and
2:40:06
Speaker 8: they're waiting and then you come through and they'll get you.
2:40:09
Speaker 8: Even that's the thing. Like a sharks, I don't know.
2:40:11
Speaker 8: I guest sharks probably you can't have as a pet,
2:40:14
Speaker 8: but like I feel like they will probably get used
2:40:16
Speaker 8: to Sharks will probably get used to it and be
2:40:18
Speaker 8: like human, they're not really food, you won't worry about it.
2:40:21
Speaker 8: Crocodiles will kill you every single time and then eat you.
2:40:24
Speaker 1: Yeah.
2:40:24
Speaker 8: You you raise it up as a as a baby
2:40:26
Speaker 8: like you know and all that, and then as soon
2:40:27
Speaker 8: as it gets you know, it will kill you every
2:40:29
Speaker 8: single day, try to kill you.
2:40:31
Speaker 1: But have you seen that story? I mean, I'm just
2:40:33
Speaker 1: going back to my field with just snakes, but have
2:40:34
Speaker 1: you seen like the this family on the python and
2:40:37
Speaker 1: the python got like seven feet longer, and it would
2:40:40
Speaker 1: it would start to lay on the bed of where
2:40:43
Speaker 1: the people slept and they went out and they're like, hey,
2:40:45
Speaker 1: you get rid of the snake right away, and like
2:40:46
Speaker 1: why because it's literally stretching out to see if you
2:40:49
Speaker 1: can eat you sizing you up there. Yeah you heard
2:40:52
Speaker 1: that or I heard about that.
2:40:53
Speaker 8: Well, So I mean, like I said, I got snakes
2:40:55
Speaker 8: at there. That's a psychotic Yeah, that's Knda reading a newspaper.
2:41:04
Speaker 8: That's anniconda. That's not a python, that's that's disgusted.
2:41:10
Speaker 1: Brazil.
2:41:11
Speaker 8: So we get a lot of we get a lot
2:41:12
Speaker 8: of a lot of like again, snakes. See the pythons
2:41:18
Speaker 8: get pretty big. Pythons are. So I've got a lot
2:41:20
Speaker 8: of pythons.
2:41:21
Speaker 1: Were there?
2:41:21
Speaker 8: A lot of them are pythons. There you go, you
2:41:23
Speaker 8: can see something. Looks how big some of them can get.
2:41:26
Speaker 8: Can you see him next to things?
2:41:28
Speaker 5: It may be the safest place you go, no doubt,
2:41:32
Speaker 5: Like you know, like.
2:41:35
Speaker 1: Four grown men holding a snake.
2:41:37
Speaker 8: So like I don't know if diamond pythons get that big.
2:41:41
Speaker 8: But I mean, like, so I remember I bought my house,

Speaker 8: a pretty chure guy, Like I'm a nice guy. So
2:55:27
Speaker 8: when they're doing stuff, I will I will try and
2:55:31
Speaker 8: comfort them at the same time by making them, well,
2:55:34
Speaker 8: they're feeling bad because he thinks he's fucking broke my
2:55:36
Speaker 8: neck very much. Yeah, but I'm trying to comfort him,
2:55:38
Speaker 8: like I'm no, that's not your far. I shouldn't have shot, man,
2:55:39
Speaker 8: I shouldn't have shot like I'm saying it like that.
2:55:42
Speaker 8: So it's things like that that tend tend to work.
2:55:45
Speaker 8: So like, but that that was all right again, that
2:55:48
Speaker 8: was the most thought out one. They told me ten
2:55:50
Speaker 8: minutes before I did it. That's I enjoy it. But
2:55:56
Speaker 8: I love doing that, So that's what I mean. I

2:56:13
Speaker 8: of a camera as well.
2:56:14
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a whole different ballgame though, when you

Speaker 1: have like your own lines, they want you to act
2:56:18
Speaker 1: a certain way, Yeah for sure, and you go and
2:56:22

2:59:54
Speaker 8: Ship?
2:59:55
Speaker 1: Sorry? Man? Okay, let me let me you think whatever
2:59:58

3:00:02
Speaker 1: I want to need that. No, no, no, let's get
3:00:03
Speaker 1: let's get what do we want? What do we want?
3:00:06
Speaker 8: Okay, I'll go something I want to get. I do
3:00:15
Speaker 8: want to get, like an elk or a bison, Go
3:00:19
Speaker 8: hunt elk or a bison or something and then cook
3:00:24
Speaker 8: it and eat it. So eat something like that. Be
3:00:27
Speaker 8: able to do something like that.
3:00:29
Speaker 1: Oh, but we can.
3:00:30
Speaker 8: First off, that's a great answer, but yeah, I was
3:00:34
Speaker 8: trying to think. I was like, we wanted to bring
3:00:36
Speaker 8: the family in this. I was like, I want to
3:00:37
Speaker 8: do that brings the family at all.
3:00:39
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I think. We have an avenue
3:00:41
Speaker 1: you got to sign because I can do anything.
3:00:43
Speaker 8: I reckon, I could probably we could probably see that up.
3:00:46
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but are you familiar with the brand meat Eater? Yeah? Yeah,
3:00:52
Speaker 1: so we've we've hunted with Steve Ronella and those guys
3:00:54
Speaker 1: a few times.
3:00:56
Speaker 8: Yeah, all these episodes.
3:00:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think that's a good guy to get
3:01:00
Speaker 1: you hooked up because they are unreal. The hospitality is awesome,
3:01:05
Speaker 1: but they have guys that I love, you know what
3:01:08
Speaker 1: I mean, Like he prepares, I love all that stuff. Man,
3:01:11
Speaker 1: And he is like he's a guy you're around, and
3:01:13
Speaker 1: you just want him to say good job to you.
3:01:15
Speaker 1: He never will. He'll never will say your job to you.
3:01:17
Speaker 1: But you're always church. He's like that, uncle, please just
3:01:20
Speaker 1: tell me you love me. You know what I'm saying. Well, yeah,
3:01:23
Speaker 1: I feel like we could get both done with that,
3:01:25
Speaker 1: no problem, right, we get down that in front of
3:01:27
Speaker 1: the show, front of the show future friend. We're staying
3:01:30
Speaker 1: at his house soon, we can get that done. They
3:01:33
Speaker 1: would love him absolutely.
3:01:35
Speaker 8: That Yeah, for sure, that would be that there you
3:01:38
Speaker 8: got you just probably because when I say, like when
3:01:44
Speaker 8: I think of hunting and that, a lot of times
3:01:46
Speaker 8: I think of Elk, you know, even though I should
3:01:49
Speaker 8: like hunt a lot that back home. But I've always
3:01:51
Speaker 8: watched tape, like like TV, and it's always in America.
3:01:56
Speaker 8: We've like We've Steven, you know, like we meet Eater
3:02:00
Speaker 8: and all that.
3:02:00
Speaker 1: That's all the stuff.
3:02:01
Speaker 8: That's all the stuff that I've watched. So that is
3:02:04
Speaker 8: like my ultimate to go. We've actual going, mate as
3:02:08
Speaker 8: do an experience like that. Then catch something strip the strip,
3:02:12
Speaker 8: you know, the backstrap, cock it up and they get
3:02:15
Speaker 8: all buddy, Steve's your guy. Then he was showing us
3:02:18
Speaker 8: he's got a place in Alaska. It's like remote, like
3:02:20
Speaker 8: you have to get it by like get to it
3:02:22
Speaker 8: by boat. And he was showing us like landscape and everything.
3:02:25
Speaker 8: And this dude's a cat that will just like he'll
3:02:26
Speaker 8: just go off in the wilderness. He'll be gone for
3:02:27
Speaker 8: a week, like he knows you've seen the show that.
3:02:30
Speaker 1: Stuff, Hey, have you seen the show alone? It's like
3:02:33
Speaker 1: a reality TV show where they probably think about it,
3:02:35
Speaker 1: but I haven't seen the ten people out and they
3:02:37
Speaker 1: just put them in there like whoever lasts the longest,
3:02:42
Speaker 1: let me do miss. But they just take these people
3:02:45
Speaker 1: out and they're like, hey, go survive. You have to
3:02:47
Speaker 1: create your own shelter, find your own water, sores, find food,
3:02:50
Speaker 1: the whole id.
3:02:52
Speaker 8: I So, do they have a rough idea idea of
3:02:56
Speaker 8: what they're doing?
3:02:57
Speaker 4: Uh?
3:02:58
Speaker 7: They know.
3:02:58
Speaker 1: I think they know of the landscape. Like the first
3:03:01
Speaker 1: two seasons is in British Columbia, Canada, and like I
3:03:03
Speaker 1: think it's like Vancouver Island or something like that where
3:03:05
Speaker 1: there's like water, wolves and a bunch of stuff. It's
3:03:08
Speaker 1: a really cool landscape.
3:03:09
Speaker 4: All have like different survivalists backgrounds.
3:03:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, like they all are kind.
3:03:13
Speaker 4: Of good at one thing, and it's like, oh, well,
3:03:15
Speaker 4: which type of survivalists would be.
3:03:17
Speaker 1: The most Okay?
3:03:17
Speaker 8: All right, so they got some skills in it. Okay,
3:03:20
Speaker 8: But all that could.
3:03:21
Speaker 1: Be said, like Steve's a cat that he would never
3:03:23
Speaker 1: go do the show, but he'd be a guy that
3:03:25
Speaker 1: like he'd probably just make a new family, he'd have
3:03:26
Speaker 1: a new like set up and just never leave. Yeah,
3:03:29
Speaker 1: he's that type of cat. So we yeah, hey, friend
3:03:32
Speaker 1: of the show, we gotta get it done, the show,
3:03:34
Speaker 1: we have to get it out. I'll love that, dude.
3:03:37
Speaker 1: I know it was a long night for you last night.
3:03:40
Speaker 1: You you crushed this podcast. You're incredible, Like it was.
3:03:45
Speaker 8: Luck, I swear, think the name. Some jokes are just
3:03:48
Speaker 8: gonna get straight out of my head and all that.
3:03:50
Speaker 8: And then we you know, we started getting in nails
3:03:52
Speaker 8: and I was like yeah, and we worked in with
3:03:54
Speaker 8: little UFC talk, had fun and I think we really
3:03:57

3:04:00
Speaker 8: the octagon.
3:04:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I enjoyed it. I help everybody else

3:04:12
Speaker 1: guy that just is like, hey, we should do this
3:04:13
Speaker 1: and then we don't do it, Like I'm going to
3:04:15

3:04:18
Speaker 8: One hundred percent where we we want the content like
3:04:22
Speaker 8: we love it. Would you love to do that? And
3:04:24
Speaker 8: again the thing is I get to I just need
3:04:28
