00:02:32.000They do that because they're extremely confident in what they're producing.
00:02:54.000And you also, if you're a musician or if you make some sort of audio files, if you have a podcast that someone would actually pay for, you could actually sell musical digital downloads from the website.
00:09:59.000And I'm the only one that even got arrested.
00:10:01.000So you got arrested just because it would make publicity and things?
00:10:04.000I think because, all right, are we going to charge a Navy SEAL that just won a bronze star or this wild maniac war machine who did porn and got kicked out of the U.C.?
00:11:46.000Yeah, but your point about a guy like that growing up in Brazil, growing up kind of wild, coming over here and everybody's so conservative.
00:11:55.000So many laws and so much button down on behavior.
00:12:12.000Yeah, it's rare that you hear about UFC fighters getting in fights, though.
00:12:14.000If you look at it, it's really pretty amazing in comparison.
00:12:18.000Like, you know, Bader Hari, that motherfucker's always getting in trouble, which is another terrible situation because he's one of the most exciting kickboxers on the planet.
00:12:28.000Love watching that guy fight, but he's always in trouble.
00:12:31.000He had to go to Morocco for a while and hide.
00:12:34.000And then he came back and he had to deal with his issue.
00:13:37.000Then the second year when I went to jail, the whole year in Vegas, I was in the hole the whole time because they already knew who I was and they just stuck me in there.
00:13:43.000Wow, for how long were you in the hole?
00:13:55.000Like, after a whole year, you know, you get aggravated one day, and then there's those guys in there are fake tough guys, and they want to be jerks, and there's always little politics.
00:14:04.000You get in one little fight, and next thing you know, I'm back in jail for who knows how long, you know.
00:14:08.000Especially depending upon what happens to the guy.
00:14:10.000Yeah, because I mean, I was in jail in San Diego when I was in the mainline still, and these guys are playing chess for push-ups.
00:14:17.000And it was a little Asian guy from, he was actually from Burma.
00:15:51.000You don't have to put a guy like that in a cage.
00:15:53.000Well, you know, I was reading all these surveys and stuff in jail articles, but they were saying that we have more people in jail than any country by far.
00:18:08.000And any for-profit system becomes an organism, and organisms protect themselves, and that's what they do.
00:18:13.000I mean, when you find out that prison guards lobby, and they have prison guard unions, and they lobby to make sure that certain drug laws are in place, they want certain drug laws in place to ensure that there's a certain amount of prisoners.
00:19:38.000We, somehow or another, we need, we like identify and we sort of like, we connect with these examples, positive examples or negative examples.
00:19:48.000And there's also the issue that a lot of people deal with where, you know, yeah, they're fucked up.
00:20:14.000From the jump, there's food, there's poverty, there's assault, there's all sorts of shit that you're dealing with in your house on a regular basis.
00:20:21.000Like, you know, people say that, you know, I'm a maniac, right?
00:20:24.000And I'm more out there than most people, but like, I mean, I don't like to complain about my life, but I turn out pretty good for considering, you know what I mean?
00:20:32.000And if it wasn't for me finding an outlet in like weightlifting and sports and all that stuff, I would have been a maniac.
00:20:41.000Yeah, I mean, you went through a lot of crazy shit for sure, but you've always been a good dude to talk to.
00:20:48.000And that's one of the reasons why I wanted to have you on the podcast because that's where I think that people get the wrong impression of you.
00:20:53.000It's like a lot of people in the same circumstances of you would have turned out even worse.
00:22:12.000Turns out my mom spent all the money on drugs.
00:22:14.000They spent it on drugs and my stepdad's attorney because he did a fraud case, right?
00:22:18.000So they said, hey, they said, well, the Navy wanted to give me a scholarship for my last two years and commission me afterwards.
00:22:24.000But they weren't going to backpay what I already owe, the 15 grand, right?
00:22:27.000So they said, either you got to pay this or we got to freeze your credits.
00:22:31.000And I couldn't even transfer my credits.
00:22:33.000So then I went into meltdown psycho mode because I mean, I sucked it up all that time and like didn't drink, didn't do drugs, trained, did community service, all this stuff, good grades.
00:22:45.000And I went home, dude, and I beat my stepdad almost to death.
00:27:58.000But isn't that incredible that just a few events like that can, especially when you're a young man, can just steer your life in one way or another.
00:28:08.000Like if you had never put that money in your mom's name and you continued paying your bills and you dealt with all your tuition, who knows you would have probably been a fucking war hero or something.
00:28:17.000You'd probably be Brian Stan, you know, one of those characters.
00:30:26.000For thousands of years, these people lived the exact same way, fishing, living off the land, having a good time, getting by, and all of a sudden some asshole has to dunk nuclear waste off their fish.
00:30:37.000I always say technology is the great evil, dude.
00:30:45.000I mean, before technology, Genghis Khan was evil as fuck.
00:30:49.000I mean, there was people, I guess, bows are technology.
00:30:52.000They're just technology for back then.
00:30:54.000People are, you know, we have the great propensity for evil and for good.
00:30:58.000But I mean, now I mean, like, as far as like, the world was, I mean, as it was all of history, as far as in the last hundred years with technology, we polluted everything.
00:32:57.000Dogs are the only animal that we're aware of that have that kind of variance that can interbreed like that.
00:33:02.000It's a very strange thing because we know that dogs were human manipulated.
00:33:05.000And then the whole argument with people, the reason why there's a quote-unquote missing link, which I guess apparently when you talk to people who really understand biology, there really isn't a missing link.
00:33:15.000It's just a matter of the fossil record being very difficult to get all the pieces.
00:33:19.000See, the fossil record, the issue with the fossils is if you die or I die right here, so like say if there's a gas leak in this building explodes, we're not going to leave a fossil map.
00:33:33.000So there's probably, and not only that, humans are smart.
00:33:36.000So the odds of them getting fossilized are probably less likely than a dumbass buffalo who falls into a pit and all his buddies fall right in after him because they're all fucking stupid.
00:33:46.000I just thought the book made such good sense because it's like how they said that Daydance came here and we were like the in-between links, you know, like the monkey-ish kind of guy.
00:33:55.000Like, well, these things are fucking smart, but they're not that smart enough to do what we wouldn't want them to do.
00:33:59.000They're kind of, they're still like animals, you know?
00:34:09.000Because you know like the Old Testament, all those stories, if you read them in the terms of not God but aliens, that makes way more sense.
00:37:19.000I think that if you're a super intelligent race or a super intelligent civilization rather and you run into someone of your own race that just happens to be trapped in the outback of Australia and living off the land, they would have no idea that within a thousand years they've been living like this, which cultures exist in the same static state for a thousand years all the time.
00:37:39.000But look what's happened in this country just 200 fucking years.
00:38:24.000So I think that those stories, when you're dealing with over a thousand years of them telling them back and forth before anybody writes them down, then they write them down, they write them down in Aramaic, they write them down in ancient Hebrew.
00:38:36.000And in ancient Hebrew, they only know like three out of four words today in ancient Hebrew.
00:41:34.000No accountability and you don't feel it.
00:41:36.000Like if you say something mean to somebody, how many, I could tell you, me personally, I've said shit where I might have been just joking around, but I said something mean and then I saw the look on a person's face and I'm like, I'm sorry.
00:43:55.000Yeah, but he jacked me up with those elbows.
00:43:56.000Dude, that was one of the most effective uses of elbows from the guard I've ever seen.
00:44:00.000The only other time I've seen something really crazy from the guard like that is Uriah Hall stopped that dude from his guard on the last issue, the last version of Tough.
00:47:04.000Because this, it'll still, the energy transfers through your arm.
00:47:08.000Is it hard to make that transition though to the smaller gloves?
00:47:11.000Because the problem with the smaller gloves too is when dudes try to do like that K1 style Dutch thing like this, there's all these openings that don't exist with those big ass gloves.
00:47:20.000This is exactly why since two years ago, I refused to sparrow big gloves.
00:48:16.000So I only spar with little gloves now.
00:48:18.000Yeah, you see that a lot from the real high-level kickboxer guys that go into MMA when they realize how many openings are left where they're so used to.
00:48:26.000If you find like a Nikki Holtzen or one of those type guys that like fights that classic Amsterdam style, they have that hands up high, which is fantastic for kickboxing.
00:48:36.000But when guys like that enter into MMA like Alistair, it's a weird thing because there's all these openings there now.
00:48:43.000And same thing, even with good boxers, they can always punches.
00:48:59.000Such a difference in the impact as well.
00:49:02.000Even if you do catch a punch, like say if you catch a guy's right hand and you have it in front of your face, with that little glove, there's not much protecting you.
00:49:10.000If that big ass glove, the boxing glove, it's like a big pillow hitting you in the face.
00:49:14.000I mean, obviously, you know, it still fucking hurts and dudes get knocked out, but there's such a difference in those four-ounce to eight-ounce gloves.
00:51:22.000The thing about learning the taekwondo, though, is because there's no punches to the face and there's no leg kicks, you get really good at doing shit that's super risky if guys are throwing leg kicks and punching you in the face.
00:51:34.000Whereas you might not really get good at those techniques because you wouldn't put as much time in it.
00:51:37.000You're not going to get to throw them, yeah.
00:52:34.000I mean, that's the difference between, you know, you catch a guy, especially not in a transition, not in between punches, but actually just trying to take him down.
00:53:55.000Like, apparently, when they filmed the Countdown show with him, primetime show, there was a whole segment that they filmed where he was talking about, like, worrying, like, has nightmares about being abducted by aliens.
00:54:07.000And then he has it, like, in his mind what he would do if aliens came.
00:54:10.000And Anthony Gierdonal told me about this.
00:54:12.000I go, why didn't they put that in the show?
00:54:13.000Like, the UFC didn't want to have that in.
00:55:34.000I'm hoping that they're going to figure out some sort of a medical solution.
00:55:38.000I feel like if you look at the advancements in science and medicine and what they've been able to figure out about how to fix all sorts of injuries, that fixing traumatic brain injury is probably next.
00:55:47.000And I know that this thing called the Intrepid Center for Excellence, that they work with soldiers coming back from the war that have brain injuries.
00:56:49.000It's a development cycle that goes through the entirety of your career.
00:56:53.000And one of the things about boxing is they know where their fighter is at and they try to match them up well before they give them a title shot.
00:57:00.000If you look at boxing, you'll see a lot of guys challenging for the title.
00:57:03.000They only have like maybe one loss, two losses in their entire career.
00:57:06.000And a lot of them happen early because they get a manager and they slowly build them up and then they start testing them and they do test them, but they test them once they develop some serious world-class skills.
00:57:16.000In boxing, you fight nothing but chumps pretty much.
00:57:20.000You get a lot of work, easy, easy, easy guys.
00:57:23.000Step up a little bit, say all you did.
00:57:24.000If you didn't, you do get pull them back the next time, make it easier.
00:57:42.000Like Floyd May there, Mayweather's the only one who's been able to go through the fire over and over and over again and come out undefeated.
00:57:49.000And the thing, like, I don't want to knock on the UFC because that's your boss or whatever, or you work for them, but like, UFC doesn't want to market fighters.
00:58:07.000If you're a pay-per-view draw, if you're a George St. Pierre, if you're someone that's making a ton of money, you make money based on how many pay-per-views you sell.
00:58:28.000There's a bunch of other shit involved as well.
00:58:30.000There's bonuses, and then on top of the bonuses, there's what they get for each pay-per-view sale.
00:58:34.000So they don't disclose, and a lot of it's because a lot of fighters don't want people to disclose.
00:58:39.000But if you're a guy who's starting out and you want to eventually work your way up to get to championship status, like it's a fucking minefield.
00:58:47.000Like, look at Brock Lesnar's a perfect example.
00:58:50.000I was talking to Dana about this last night.
00:58:51.000Has there ever been a guy where his fucking second fight in, he's fighting a former UFC heavyweight champion in his guy, Mir, who Mir was in his prime.
00:59:00.000I mean, Mir was, you know, I mean, as good as he's ever been when Brock fought him.
00:59:06.000His problem was that he was too famous.
01:00:22.000Yeah, they said it had to be a stand-up fight.
01:00:24.000Well, he got him in a standing guillotine, and he's putting him to sleep, and all these people are jumping in and saying, no wrestling, no wrestling.
01:00:30.000They're literally prying the two of them apart.
01:00:32.000And Kimbo, if you tune it to the beginning, Kimbo was tuning him up in the beginning of the fight.
01:00:36.000But that guillotine, man, if a guy's good and he gets you at a guillotine, you're fucked.
01:00:41.000Because he held on to that guillotine for about 30 or 40 seconds.
01:01:45.000Kimbo's just fighting dudes and smashing them, you know?
01:01:47.000He just jumped out of the gate on him.
01:01:49.000Kimbo obviously had some good punching skills, but as far as his defense and as far as his ability to pace himself, he was really way outclassed.
01:01:59.000And Gannon started tuning him up with body shots.
01:02:02.000And slowly but surely, he starts beating him down.
01:02:05.000And by the end, it's absolutely brutal because they're giving him these crazy counts, too.
01:02:08.000They gave him like a 30 count or some shit like that.
01:02:11.000And when the guy goes down, you don't follow him like an MMA.
01:02:16.000But, I mean, he could have died easily.
01:02:18.000Kimbo is absolutely exhausted and he's getting just force-fed knuckle sandwiches.
01:02:24.000But this was a perfect indication that although he became famous on the internet, like he had a lot of growth to be fighting guys in the UFC.
01:02:34.000Guys like Brandon Lee Hinkle, like national class wrestlers.
01:02:38.000You're not getting up off your back, son.
01:03:33.000But the war is like, they're fine, you know?
01:03:35.000Well, they say that most of the people who die cut weight.
01:03:38.000They say that, yeah, most of the serious issues of brain death and real serious brain damage from a fight happens in the weight classes below heavyweight.
01:03:49.000But there was a recent fight on HBO where a guy wound up in the hospital with swelling on the blade, some Russian dude.
01:04:39.000Dude, Tito had, in my opinion, still to this day, has some of the best ground and pound from inside a guard because he didn't even bother passing the guard.
01:04:46.000You weren't going to control his posture.
01:09:49.000You could see they collide heads and he gets dropped from that.
01:09:53.000Yeah, you know, there's a, and that's why I think stand-up's a little more shaky because there's more luck in stand-up than there is in the wrestling and jitsu.
01:10:01.000There's also more, what's important is like things that you're physically born with, like reach and athleticism and fast twitch muscle fibers.
01:10:08.000They come into play way more with stand-up.
01:10:12.000If you teach a guy the fundamentals of striking and he's a long, tall guy, you know, he could get real good, real effective real quick, as opposed to a short, fat, white guy who's got short-ass arms.
01:11:55.000It's just, I don't know like those last few fights, like the Nick Diaz fight and the Rory McDonald fight, like what kind of a beating you took in those fights.
01:12:03.000Those fights were like first round effort and then shut down.
01:12:06.000And then it was like he was trying to win, but he was basically on survival mode for rounds two and three.
01:12:11.000There were two fights he should have never taken.
01:19:54.000I mean, that tells you how fucking scary Melvin Manhoef is.
01:19:57.000He's just a spring, just a steel spring, just coiled back, ready to fucking explode on you.
01:20:03.000So anyway, he's teeing off on Robbie Lawler, fucking up his legs.
01:20:08.000Robbie's not checking any of these kicks, and he's hitting him with these inside low kicks that got Robbie's legs literally flying up in the air.
01:20:15.000And then, boom, Robbie uncorks this haymaker, losing every minute of the fight up until the moment he uncorks his punch, and Melvin's eyes just roll way back into his head, and that's the end of it.
01:22:52.000If you just stop now, how much timing would you lose if you did like a lot of mitt work and you just concentrated on drills with a real good striking coach?
01:23:01.000I wouldn't do it because I know the only way for me to judge is by jail.
01:23:04.000When I came out of jail, like the first like couple weeks, a few weeks of sparring, I'm like flinchy and like, I'm like flexing.
01:23:12.000But you didn't get to do anything in jail though, right?
01:23:14.000Yeah, all I could do there was shadow box and like push-ups and squat.
01:24:45.000My reflexes got sharper because I was constantly sparring with this dude where I wasn't worried about getting knocked out in our training sessions.
01:24:52.000You know, either you're tough or you're not, dude.
01:24:55.000So you're going to get hit and you're going to be a puss or you're going to get hit and you're going to take it.
01:25:00.000So by that standard, you think Robbie Lawrence got a point?
01:25:02.000You think maybe his style of not sparring at all is going to be a good idea?
01:28:56.000Marvin Eastman got knocked out twice in camp.
01:28:59.000He was training with Tito and he got knocked out by a knee during a takedown and another time there was something else like during a takedown he got knocked out.
01:29:06.000So he'd been concussed out cold twice in camp and then fought and Travis Luter caught him with the end of this punch.
01:30:21.000When you see when he was fighting on the Ultimate Fighter, dude, his fucking takedowns, his jiu-jitsu was laser sharp, and he fucked up and he fought Anderson Silva.
01:31:07.000And so they changed it to a non-title fight.
01:31:09.000But if that guy had just earlier in his career had moved to a bigger camp and gone like the Jacksons or American top team or something like that and really got in shape, he would have been a motherfucker.
01:32:36.000All of those medications that they can give you for things like arthritis, extreme anti-inflammatory medications like that, they can have an extreme effect on your blood, especially these pharmaceutical ones.
01:34:17.000I never read the book, but I know a little bit about it.
01:34:20.000But I like it because here's what happens is that my whole life, you know, I did the regular bodybuilding diet, eat every two or three hours.
01:34:27.000And, you know, then it was always easy in the daytime.
01:36:45.000And I think that's probably, you know, if you think about like your life and all the circumstances that you've had in your life, those develop like paths.
01:36:56.000And those behavior paths, once you already go down that impulsive road, it becomes very difficult to break those paths.
01:37:01.000That's why people are like gambling junkies, they'll fucking fall off the wagon and just fucking, let me just play one hand, one hand of black check.
01:37:08.000And next thing you know, they're fucking sweating, their collar's undone, their fucking hair is crazy.
01:37:16.000But yeah, but this, right now my diet, I like it, dude.
01:37:20.000I don't think we need to eat that much animals and stuff.
01:37:23.000You know, the China study shows like in the rats and stuff that if the rats that ate more than 10% animal products, their cancer would turn on, and then they take them to a 90% vegetable diet and they would turn off the cancers.
01:37:38.000But I'm here to tell you that I'm an American and I'm not a fucking rat.
01:37:42.000I'm a human being, top of the food chain.
01:37:44.000I'll eat a rat if I'm hungry, but I don't like to base my diet off some shitty rodents that eat themselves.
01:38:41.000Like, one of the things they accuse the China study of is cherry-picking data in order to match the conclusions that they wanted to make.
01:38:50.000If you just Google China Study Debunk, there's a bunch of different articles about it.
01:38:54.000Like here's one, Rest in Peace, China Study.
01:38:57.000And it's all about a guy who wrote a story, started analyzing the original China Study data.
01:39:04.000He said, I had no intention of writing an actual critique of Campbell's much lauded work.
01:39:08.000I'm a data junkie, numbers along with strawberries and Audrey Hepburn films, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:39:12.000But after spending a solid month and a half reading, graphing, sticky noting, and passing out at 3 a.m. from studious exhaustion upon my copy of the raw China study data, I've decided that it's time to voice all my criticisms, and there are many.
01:39:25.000And this guy just goes into all these different points where there's like, he said Campbell was influenced by his own expectations about animal protein and disease, leading him to seek out specific correlations in the China study data and elsewhere to confirm his predictions, which means that he didn't use real science.
01:39:41.000What he did was he used confirmation bias and he tried to go towards a lot of vegans do that, man.
01:39:46.000Like I tried, I had this, what's the endurance runner that we had on?
01:41:10.000Well, you know, the problem is most people, when you're judging diets, here's one gigantic thumb, sore thumb that sticks out.
01:41:18.000Most people have sedentary lifestyles.
01:41:20.000So if you start judging the diet of the average American, what the fuck is the average American doing with their body?
01:41:26.000Yeah, so you can't even compare the average American to an athlete.
01:41:29.000But when you start talking to athletes, talking about the specific nutritional demands of you're redlining your fucking body every day when you're training, when you're doing strength and conditioning.
01:41:38.000I've seen the videos of you where you're doing chin-ups with fucking weight belts on and 90-pound dumbbells in between your legs.
01:41:46.000You're redlining your body all the time.
01:41:50.000You need as much protein, nutrients, essential fatty acids, vitamins.
01:41:55.000You can't afford to have a deficiency in any area.
01:41:58.000You should look into, like, if you're not opposed to it from a moral standpoint, look into the benefits of grass-fed protein.
01:42:05.000I think that's why, like, the way I'm doing it, I do both, but mostly the plants.
01:42:10.000I think as long as my energies are high and my muscles stay in the same, my strengths are the same, like I could judge it, you know, like by that.
01:42:16.000You know, kind of, I feel good, you know what I mean?
01:42:19.000It's definitely better than the average diet.
01:42:21.000Yeah, and the thing is, too, this is why in jail I stopped reading fucking fiction.
01:42:31.000And the reason why in jail I stopped reading non-fiction was because I would fucking read one book written by four PhDs and they're telling me this, right?
01:42:39.000And I read another book by four PhDs and they tell me the opposite.
01:42:48.000You know, because I got sick and tired of reading them contracting each other and no one knows nothing, you know?
01:42:53.000Well, what's going on is that there's not enough, It's just like people are still learning and they're still learning about the body.
01:43:01.000I mean, if you just look at training methods that people used to use just 100 years ago in comparison to training methods today.
01:43:07.000You ever watch like those old training camps like Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey and all these guys just doing all this crazy like old school training methods?
01:44:06.000They'd rather preach their idea, even though it's not right, than let go.
01:44:09.000And then that's the problem, too, with the science shit.
01:44:12.000Well, that's an issue with people that study ancient civilizations.
01:44:16.000There's a guy that we've had on this podcast several times, a good friend of mine named Graham Hancock, great guy who wrote this amazing book called Fingerprints of the Gods, and it's all about ancient structures.
01:44:50.000So we're talking about thousands of years before that, because back then, there used to be a rainforest.
01:44:56.000The Nile used to be like its rich rainforest.
01:44:58.000So what he's saying is that just based on geological evidence, you're dealing with something that was constructed a long time ago, much longer than anybody thinks.
01:45:07.000But these Egyptologists did not want to buy it.
01:45:10.000No, they were digging their heels in the sand and they were saying there's no way it's impossible.
01:45:15.000They were laughing like, where is this culture from 12,000 plus years ago you talk about?
01:45:20.000And they didn't even know that anybody had built anything like that from 12,000 years ago until recently they found this structure in Turkey called Gobekli Tepe.
01:45:28.000Without a doubt, 12,000 plus years old because someone 12,000 years ago covered it because they've proven by doing carbon testing on the soil that it was all put at the same time.
01:45:38.000So they know that 12,000 years ago, for sure, someone was making big, crazy giant shit.
01:45:44.000But they don't want to talk about that because they've been teaching college courses and universities and forever and they gave a timeline.
01:45:50.000And because this timeline has been established and that's how they base their PhDs, that's how they based all their studies and their work.
01:46:51.000They based it on people over 65 that had had heart attacks, that vitamins didn't keep them alive any longer, and people that were over 65 that had already had mental decline.
01:47:01.000They were already experiencing Alzheimer's.
01:48:28.000There's also antidepressants that make their way into our drinking water from people processing, like when people flush them down the toilet.
01:48:35.000Like when you drink water, like in some places, you're drinking water that's been processed.
01:51:28.000I tried it and it stopped fucking, I don't get it anymore.
01:51:30.000Yeah, our friend Tony Hinchcliffe had the same issue, right?
01:51:32.000He stopped drinking milk and he cured up a lot of it.
01:51:34.000And Mac Danzig told me this, that's why he started too.
01:51:36.000And then after that, he started researching more, and that's why he became a vegan, plus the animal stuff.
01:51:40.000Yeah, you're not supposed to drink milk that's been homogenized and pasteurized.
01:51:44.000And the problem with drinking raw milk is unless you know who's milking that cow and feeding that cow, you don't know what the fuck you're getting, how they're dealing and handling the milk right afterwards.
01:51:52.000If you can get a good source, though, if you get a real good farm that's reputable, that knows how to deal with their raw milk.
01:52:00.000There was a recent study also that tried to discredit wall milk, saying one out of six people who drink raw milk can get sick.
01:52:06.000But then in the very article itself, it shows that you can't prove that what happened to them came from the raw milk.
01:52:12.000And it could have been from, I mean, it's not like they only had raw milk.
01:52:14.000They weren't controlling the rest of their input.
01:56:07.000But what's fucking them up is there's certain pesticides that just wreak havoc on bee communities.
01:56:13.000And if you get a genetically modified plant and these chemicals are involved in that process and these bees get a hold of these chemicals or they come into contact with these chemicals, it can be deadly to them.
01:56:27.000There's a real issue with fucking with nature if we don't know the ultimate consequences because the world that we live in is an ecosystem.
01:56:34.000It's like everything affects everything.
01:56:36.000They say that if ants died, if we killed all the ants on the planet, we would be fucked.
01:56:41.000Like the whole world would go into chaos.
01:56:48.000And when you have something that, you know, well, it can absorb chemicals better so we can kill off all these bugs and we don't have to worry about it and we get a big yield and we can sell that yield, but it's killing bees.
01:56:59.000Like that's, there's a yin and a yang to everything.
01:57:02.000There's a push and a pull to everything.
01:57:03.000And the more you dabble with nature, you're dealing with this unbelievably complex structure.
01:57:09.000The structure of nature is so intertwined and so broad that when you fuck around with it, hopefully it has a good effect, but there's also there's going to be the potential for negative downsides.
01:57:24.000I think it's, look, if we could figure out a way to make food that all these poor people would have nutritious food, it's super easy to grow and everybody benefits from it.
01:58:58.000He actually, one of the quotes, I can't find this anywhere else, but I read it once, I know for sure, that he destroyed his sexuality was the quotes.
01:59:08.000Because, yeah, he had some issue with some woman, and it didn't work out, and it just destroyed him.
02:01:27.000The guy who invented the water car died in a meeting with these two people that were supposed to be government agents, and he was screaming, they poisoned me.
02:02:04.000The government, when I was at the Citadel at the college I was at, because I was a biology major, so they had some scientists that were touring the country, and they're like coming around to schools and trying to tell us stuff, you know, make us aware.
02:02:18.000It was like a team of four scientists, and it was just them and their inventions.
02:02:21.000They're saying, these are our inventions that the government is fucking canned.
02:02:25.000We're only four guys, you know, imagine how many other things are out there.
02:02:27.000But one guy, he said he invented a carburetor that you can hook onto any car, and it automatically gets 80 miles a gallon.
02:04:19.000If they're losing money, if they would lose money, if something came along that made cars unbelievably more efficient, they would need less gasoline, that would be a fuckload of less money.
02:04:27.000The amount of money that's spent every day in this country on fossil fuels, we can't even wrap our head around that number.
02:04:51.000It takes like, you got to charge them like even if you rapid charge, it's a half hour.
02:04:55.000So you have to sit in a gas station for a half hour while your fucking car charges.
02:04:58.000Yeah, I talked to that dude from my gym, that Raphael guy, the scientist guy, about the electric cars.
02:05:02.000I was like, yeah, man, like, he says that it's a scam, though.
02:05:05.000He says that the whole car is pretty much a battery.
02:05:08.000He says that all the lead and the shit in that battery, he said it actually ends up being just as bad or worse for the environment than if you just had a car with gas.
02:07:52.000And then just like just fucking bored, dude.
02:07:55.000What is it like to not talk to people for so long?
02:07:58.000I mean, you talk to, I mean, it's just weird, dude.
02:08:01.000It's like a hard to say, but it's like a fucking time warp because when you're in there, the day goes by real slow, but like the months go by quick.
02:08:10.000And then when you get out, it's like, it's like it was all a dream.
02:08:42.000But it was weird because Mayweather was there, right?
02:08:44.000So when Mayweather got there, dude, his like two-month sentence, fucking, he started bitching at the judge, like, they're not feeding me enough.
02:08:52.000They're giving me shit, food, blah, blah, blah, blah.
02:08:54.000All of a sudden, bam, fruit every day, big portions, all this shit.
02:09:15.000I said, you know, this motherfucker, that as soon as Mayweather started bitching at court, now we got bigger trays and we got fruit every day.
02:09:22.000And then he started chuckling and he laughed.
02:10:38.000Mostly, I take it for anxiety because I would get panic attacks.
02:10:41.000Ever since my dad died, I would get them.
02:10:43.000And then like, I just battled them all my whole life and try to, oh, you know, like, I don't want to go to doctor, doctors for pussies, no medicines for pussies, you know?
02:10:50.000And then finally, actually, what happened to me was on Ultimate Fighter House.
02:10:53.000In the Ultimate Fighter House, like the lack of, I was so isolated, nothing to do, nothing.
02:13:27.000You know, I would talk to guys because, I mean, I was there for a fight and I'll talk to other guys, like, you know, especially the first year I was there when I was in general population.
02:14:58.000There's a real problem with that situation, that particular story.
02:15:02.000It's like this hard buy-the-book shit where they don't look at each individual case as being a separate entity and say, oh, these are circumstances that are pretty unusual.
02:15:49.000They sentenced him to like 25 plus years.
02:15:52.000He's a fucking judge, man, and he was getting payoffs because of the same thing we talked about, about privatized prisons, about prisons making profit off of the amount of people that they have in them.
02:22:08.000Well, the situation with Bellator that I thought was really strange was the Chandler situation, the Chandler and Alvarez situation, and then the Askren thing.
02:22:16.000Like, how do they let Askren go when he's the champ?
02:23:46.000And I feel like if there's a guy like Ben Askren that can hold you down and dry hump you for five rounds, that's what he can do.
02:23:52.000Like if that guy should be able to fight, and if he could take guys down and give them noogies and elbow them and punch them in the head and hold everybody down for five rounds, then that's reality.
02:26:43.000And if it was, you know, whoever it was, whether it was Vitor, whether it was Chris Wideman, whoever it is, I like to see these guys figure it out.
02:26:57.000I mean, I don't understand what it is.
02:26:58.000I think it was also the issue that they thought that Bellator was playing games and like, you know, Bellator was, you know, like that they might, you know, say, oh, we cast off our chip.
02:31:07.000So for years, my fucking, my little profile on my Twitter and everything says, all of a sudden, instead of like, you have seen better and bro, it says, I do alpha male shit.
02:32:22.000But it's going to be like, it's never been done before.
02:32:25.000And we already have like, my buddy has all the government contracts.
02:32:28.000So it could be a thing where if it gets big enough, it could be like where we can hire out other fighters that are done fighting because a lot of us don't have a shit to do, dude.
02:32:38.000If you're not the champ, you don't make enough money to have a backup plan.
02:32:40.000So if I can make fucking $150,000 a year training SEALs and green braids, this hand-to-hand shit, and then if it gets too big, we could hire fucking this guy and that guy.
02:32:54.000That's a smart thing, too, because there's some specialists in on-armed combat when it comes to removing guns from people and removing knives from people.
02:33:10.000I was watching this show the other night.
02:33:11.000I was watching this the Sportsman's Network.
02:33:14.000Late at night, they have these self-defense scenarios.
02:33:17.000Like a guy got attacked in an elevator and he's controlling this guy's arm and then he pulls his gun out and he shoots the guy after he's controlling this guy's arm.
02:33:24.000And I'm like, why is that guy just standing there?
02:33:26.000Like he's not going to, you're not going to control a guy's arm like that.
02:33:29.000If a guy knows how to fight, what about his other arm?
02:33:38.000What you should know, and this is what I was on Opie and Anthony once and they used to have this dude that worked for them was like this fake karate guy who was talking all this mad stupid shit about you know there's sport and then there's what works on the street like no dummy here's what works what works with trained killers that works on everybody when you when your shit works on anderson silver your shit works on everybody what that's the thing is like you know i've been at it i've been training a long time you know like but i'll be at a jutter gym a new guy will come in he's like oh well like i did crab my guard like right now i could poke your eyes i
02:34:57.000And if you want to try to headbutt me or bite me, either that's gonna scare me, I'm gonna disengage, or I'm gonna go, oh, okay, motherfucker, and I'm gonna do it too.
02:35:40.000but he doesn't have his nose off but you're right about about those hand-to-hand guys they don't they don't they don't my friends are seals and they're like they'll do they teach it they said they thought they taught us it's like a keto or something they'll shoot the fuck out of you yeah but hand-to-hand you know they don't know so like if we can invent a curriculum that's legit because always they're never gonna be in a fight but if they're going through a hallway with the gun and someone jumps out of a door and grabs them and they're tangled up they need to be able to defend themselves right then real quick.
02:36:07.000And that's something that for the longest time before the UFC came around, really, before MMA came around, people didn't really know what was the stuff that worked.
02:36:15.000Because how many times do you get in a fight in an elevator where you got to pull your gun?
02:36:19.000So dudes would be inventing a bunch of shit that could work.
02:36:21.000And then from here, I'm controlling his arm.
02:36:24.000He's in my position for me to land a devastating elbow.
02:37:56.000You know, Eddie Bravo goes to town with his students, and I've seen him get tapped by guys, by black belts or brown belts or what have you, because he takes chances, and he'll fight five guys in a row, and he's exhausted.
02:38:11.000And if you're afraid to lose, then you're afraid to get better.
02:38:13.000If you're afraid to get better, you're going to be stagnant and you're always going to shy away from rolling with anybody that can tap you.
02:38:20.000This is the difference between people that don't understand, that have never trained before.
02:38:24.000If you never trained before, you'll never understand the correct mentality.
02:38:29.000The correct mentality is like Marcelo Garcia has the best statement about that.
02:38:33.000He's like, you have to open up your game in the gym.
02:39:49.000Well, that's a good attitude, man, because you remember there was a big resistance to a lot of the traditional guys when a lot of new stuff was coming along.
02:39:55.000A lot of guys were saying, you don't need it.
02:39:57.000All you need is just straight Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
02:41:14.000I never seen him in person though, but he looks huge.
02:41:15.000Well, he's muscular, you know, but apparently he never really cut much weight at all and fought at 185.
02:41:20.000That dude, there's people that talk about him from the time when he was coming up and entering into the UFC, about how fucking good he was before he got into the UFC, back when he was fighting in Strike Force or back even before then.
02:41:35.000That he was always sparring with big, big, heavy guys, though.
02:43:00.000When he walks onto the scale, when Gonzaga's different than anybody else in the UFC, when he gets on the platform, you feel like the weight of just his...
02:43:14.000But he's a dude that trains all the time in Ludlow, Massachusetts.
02:43:18.000He's not training like real good guys out there.
02:46:56.000But, you know, like Vanderlay is still, like, the Brian Stan fight was a great fight.
02:47:01.000Still capable of putting on great fights.
02:47:04.000It's just not the same Vanderlay as the Vanderlay that beat like Randall or like Quentin Jackson or the Vanderlay that beat Sakuraba or the Vanderlay that beat Henderson the first fight.
02:47:22.000I know they do, but I know they do, but it's like what I think happens is that some fighters, if your first fight is on juice, then you mentally are dependent on it.
02:47:34.000So I think the guys that can't perform without it are those ones that they always had it.
02:47:40.000But I think the guys that fought a lot of times without it and then have and having it and then have, they can do either way.
02:47:45.000But I think some guys, if they've done it from day one, then they rely on the juice.
02:47:49.000Well, we only have a couple minutes left, but I want to ask you one thing about, because this is like the hot topic now in MMA, is testosterone replacement.
02:47:56.000These guys that are like 29 years old and replacing their testosterone.
02:48:01.000And there's a real issue now because Vitor is going to fight Chris Wideman, and they're going to fight in the United States.
02:48:06.000And they're going to fight in Vegas, which is a really hard place to get a testosterone exemption, especially if you tested positive for juice, which Vitor has in the past.
02:48:15.000So he might not get a testosterone use exemption, which is fucking crazy because he's been fighting at this insane level for the last year.
02:48:24.000The Bisbing fight, the Luke Rockhold fight, the last Dan Henderson fight.
02:48:27.000I mean, he looks like a fucking demon.
02:48:29.000I mean, the new Vitor on testosterone replacement looks like a fucking demon.
02:48:33.000But what is going to happen to him if he has to get off of it to fight wideman?
02:48:37.000See, here's the thing with testosterone or steroids is that, so say a guy abuses it when he's young, which Vitor probably did back in the day, I think, for sure.
02:49:19.000So, you know, doctors, you know, they're supposed to be infallible and like, you know, honest and stuff.
02:49:25.000And we all know that no one is, but some guys need it, man.
02:49:28.000Some guys that they abused theiroids and they're younger, and now they have to have it.
02:49:31.000Yeah, but their argument is that those guys shouldn't be allowed to fight because in doing so, your natural hormone levels drop during training camp because you train hard and you're breaking down your body.
02:49:41.000It's natural for your hormone levels to drop.
02:49:43.000But these guys, their hormone levels are not dropping because they're keeping them at a consistent level.
02:49:47.000If they have to take twice the amount of unnatural testosterone in order to do that, they're still doing that.
02:49:52.000And so they have an unfair advantage in training camp by taking that.
02:49:55.000And I think that's a good argument, man.
02:50:14.000It's just a fascinating situation when you got Vitor who's streaking, who's looked better than ever, but now he's going to have to fight wide, but he might not get a testosterone use exemption.
02:50:51.000But, yeah, that's a tough subject, man.
02:50:54.000It is a tough subject because I would like to see him at this level, the level that he fought Dan Henderson, I would like to see him fight Wideman.
02:51:00.000And it might very well be that the only way he could reach that level is on TRT.
02:51:13.000Now, if they said that there's an advantage that you don't get anxiety where everybody else is freaking out and they all get anxiety, do you think there's anything to that?
02:51:22.000I still get anxiety, but I mean, everyone before the fight is nervous.
02:51:25.000Because it control your nerves in some way.
02:52:31.000See, because it's an interesting argument because on one hand, I want you to take it because I think that if it benefits you as a person and there's a drug that someone invented that has a positive effect on your life and it makes your life better, then of course you should be on it.
02:52:53.000But when it comes to performance, like there's certain things like I know the, you know, like Adderall, like fighters aren't allowed to fight on Adderall and some guys have prescriptions for Adderall.
02:53:02.000Yeah, but Adderall, Adderall is just speed, dude.
02:53:39.000You're fucking Adolf Hitler invented or the Nazis invented meth or you know to make their soldiers march better and longer and on less food.
02:53:48.000So if you could be hopped up on that all day long and train, you know, it'd probably be good, you know?
