Transcript

00:00:02.000 Hey, fuckers, we're back.
00:00:04.000 Crazy, isn't it?
00:00:06.000 I'll answer my own question.
00:00:07.000 Yes, Joe, it is.
00:00:09.000 It's crazy.
00:00:10.000 This episode...
00:00:15.000 Welcome to my show!
00:00:36.000 I'm essentially gluten-free.
00:00:38.000 Occasionally I fuck off and eat a hot dog or something like that, but for the most part, I don't fuck around with bread, so I get gluten-free options.
00:00:45.000 They send me things like blueberry almonds, which are great.
00:00:48.000 These Big Island Hawaiian pineapples are also fantastic.
00:00:52.000 You can get things that are very low in sugar.
00:00:54.000 They have no artificial flavorings, no hydrogenated, nasty fucking weird oils and shit.
00:01:02.000 Your body doesn't like to digest like Zero trans fats, zero high fructose corn syrup, nothing artificial.
00:01:10.000 Free shipping also anywhere in the US. NatureBox is a great option to avoiding the nonsense that you get inside vending machines if you're hungry and you're at work.
00:01:22.000 Healthy Snacks, Barbecue Kettle Kernels, Everything Bagel Sticks, South Pacific Plantain Chips, another one of my personal favorites.
00:01:31.000 I get them delivered every week and they're usually gone within a day or two because I'm kind of a fucking pig.
00:01:37.000 There's pistachio clusters, also these cocoa almonds.
00:01:41.000 They've got a lot of good options.
00:01:43.000 And if you're into very specific dietary requirements like low sugar, they can accommodate all that kind of stuff.
00:01:48.000 There's a lot of different options.
00:01:51.000 I'm a big fan.
00:01:52.000 It's all very delicious, too.
00:01:53.000 And a lot of it is, you know, completely guilt-free.
00:01:57.000 And if you go to NatureBox, go to naturebox.com forward slash Rogan.
00:02:02.000 That's naturebox.com forward slash Rogan.
00:02:05.000 You can get 50% off of your first box.
00:02:08.000 And I guarantee you, once you do it...
00:02:11.000 You're going to love it, and you're going to want to do it all the time.
00:02:13.000 It's a way better alternative than most of the stuff that you're going to get if you go searching for snacks, even at a grocery store.
00:02:20.000 I mean, you're going to have to really pick and choose to find healthy snacks that have no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, no nonsense.
00:02:31.000 We're good to go.
00:02:43.000 Nature Box is a way to move around all that shit and snack guilt-free.
00:02:49.000 You need calories, you need food, you need snacks.
00:02:51.000 Go to naturebox.com forward slash Rogan again and get 50% off your first box of yummy Nature Box foods.
00:03:00.000 We're also brought to you by Ting As
00:03:30.000 far as cancelling, you can cancel anytime you want.
00:03:33.000 And they sell the best Android phones available.
00:03:37.000 All the coolest, groovy Android phones like the HTC One or the Samsung Galaxy.
00:03:43.000 Now it's S5. The new one is pretty fucking slick.
00:03:46.000 And the new one actually has a fingerprint sensor, a heart rate monitor, and it's waterproof.
00:03:54.000 Good googly moogly.
00:03:56.000 Where does it end?
00:03:58.000 The waterproof is sweet, though.
00:03:59.000 I love that option.
00:04:00.000 I have the Galaxy Note 3, and I fucking love it.
00:04:03.000 It's giant, and it's really cool if you want to go online with it.
00:04:07.000 When I used to go online with my iPhone, it was okay to do better than not being able to go check out something online, but oftentimes when I'm on the road, I don't even use my laptop.
00:04:18.000 I'll just use my Galaxy Note 3 the entire time.
00:04:21.000 These Android phones have not just caught up to iPhones.
00:04:24.000 In my opinion, they've passed them in a lot of ways.
00:04:26.000 Features, options, not just the big screen, but the Note 3, the one that I use, has a stylus.
00:04:32.000 You can write notes on it.
00:04:34.000 And then those notes, I use Evernote, and it actually sends those notes to my home computer so I can look at my notes on my laptop.
00:04:41.000 It's pretty fucking slick.
00:04:44.000 Ting also has it set up so that you don't pay for a specific amount of minutes every month.
00:04:50.000 You just pay for what you use.
00:04:51.000 And I think that's the model that all cell phone companies are going to use eventually.
00:04:54.000 Because a lot of times you're only using a certain amount of cell phone minutes, but you're getting fucking robbed because you're paying for much more.
00:05:00.000 And if you get over that minutes or go over those minutes, then you get hit up with a big fee.
00:05:05.000 You get hit up with extra charges because you use too much service.
00:05:10.000 It's fucking stupid.
00:05:12.000 With Ting, you use what you pay for.
00:05:15.000 And I personally believe that that is going to be the model that they all use in the future.
00:05:20.000 I think when companies like Ting come along, ethical companies that do things correctly, and they're cool about it.
00:05:25.000 They do cool shit.
00:05:26.000 Like, on their two-year anniversary, they slashed all their prices.
00:05:30.000 And especially helpful for people who are heavy users.
00:05:33.000 People who are heavy users and heavy internet users.
00:05:36.000 They made a big impact on people's bills.
00:05:38.000 In fact, 98% of people would save money with Ting.
00:05:42.000 It's because they do mobile differently.
00:05:44.000 Go to Rogan.Ting.com and save 25 bucks off of your first device.
00:05:50.000 That's Rogan.Ting.com.
00:05:52.000 We're also brought to you by Onnit.com.
00:05:55.000 That's O-N-N-I-T, a human optimization website.
00:05:58.000 And at Onnit, we sell shit that makes your body and your brain and your mind work better.
00:06:04.000 We sell things like strength and conditioning equipment.
00:06:07.000 Steel clubs and maces and ab wheels.
00:06:10.000 We have fitness DVDs like the Extreme Kettlebell Cardio Workout DVDs by Keith Weber, which are just excellent workout DVDs.
00:06:18.000 You want a DVD that just kicks your dick right into the dirt with a 35-pound kettlebell.
00:06:23.000 I know that sounds crazy.
00:06:24.000 You're like, Joe, you don't know me.
00:06:25.000 I'm a manly man.
00:06:26.000 Trust me, bitch.
00:06:27.000 A 35-pound kettlebell will fuck you up if you do the right exercises for 40 minutes.
00:06:31.000 It will get you to the point where you're going to have a goddamn heart attack.
00:06:35.000 We also have...
00:06:36.000 Really cool kettlebells.
00:06:37.000 The primal bells and the zombie bells.
00:06:39.000 Kettlebells that were designed by an artist to not just be functional but also look badass.
00:06:44.000 The primal bells are the Great Apes series.
00:06:47.000 We have gorillas, orangutans, chimps, and howler monkeys that range from 18 pounds all the way up to 72 pounds.
00:06:56.000 If you're gonna start any of these, an exercise program with any of these, whether it's the zombie kettlebells or just regular kettlebells or the gorilla ones, please start slowly.
00:07:07.000 Learn technique first.
00:07:09.000 Learn the correct movements for whatever they are, whatever exercises you want to do.
00:07:14.000 Start slowly and build a base.
00:07:16.000 Don't just start with heavy weight and try to be a fucking meathead and hurt yourself.
00:07:19.000 Learn, if you can, from someone who actually knows how to do it.
00:07:22.000 If you have someone around you that can teach you, whether it's a trainer or what have you, go to them and get the form down and then build from there.
00:07:31.000 If you don't have anyone anywhere near you, you can learn from a lot of online DVDs or online videos on YouTube or what have you.
00:07:39.000 We have a bunch of different ones also available on Onnit, some ones that we recently made that show some of my and Aubrey's favorite exercises.
00:07:50.000 We also sell all sorts of supplements and foods, whether it's the Warrior protein bars that are made out of buffalo and cranberry with no preservatives, 14 grams of protein per serving and only 140 calories with only 2 grams of fat as well.
00:08:05.000 Super healthy for you.
00:08:06.000 Really a guilt-free, healthy protein snack.
00:08:10.000 Protein bars like the Hemp Force Protein Bar and Hemp Force Protein Powder.
00:08:16.000 Stuff that's made with the finest hemp protein, which is very easily digestible, super good for your body, very healthy stuff, and very low sugar.
00:08:25.000 One gram of naturally occurring sugar per serving.
00:08:28.000 It's sweetened with stevia, which is a natural plant extract that is very good for your body and doesn't fuck with your blood sugar levels.
00:08:38.000 Super good for you.
00:08:39.000 Go to Onnit.com.
00:08:40.000 That's O-N-N-I-T. Check it out.
00:08:42.000 You could spend hours there just checking out all the different information, articles, videos, and see the finest of supplements.
00:08:51.000 We literally only carry the best shit that we can find because we are not available in retail stores.
00:08:58.000 Because we don't have outlets that we have to take care of and hire employees and pay for rent in places.
00:09:04.000 We can afford to sell things that are a much higher quality at a very, very reasonable price.
00:09:10.000 So go to onnit.com, that's O-N-N-I-T, use the code word ROGAN, and save 10% off any and all supplements.
00:09:17.000 Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we're about to go live with a freaky podcast that's going to get down to some very, very interesting subjects.
00:09:25.000 Young Jamie, cue the music.
00:09:30.000 The Joe Rogan Experience.
00:09:32.000 Train by day!
00:09:33.000 Joe Rogan Podcast by night!
00:09:35.000 All day!
00:09:39.000 Da-da-da!
00:09:40.000 Dylan and Liam Reznikov, am I saying it correctly?
00:09:44.000 That's right, 100%.
00:09:44.000 Liam is a guy from the underground, from mixedmartialarts.com.
00:09:49.000 We've been online friends, that's how you say it, online correspondents.
00:09:54.000 Correspondents.
00:09:54.000 Yeah, well there's a brotherhood on the underground that's one of the most interesting mixed martial arts websites in the world.
00:10:03.000 I think it's the best one.
00:10:04.000 As far as access to information.
00:10:07.000 You're the guy who put up the Helio Gracie Chronicles too, right?
00:10:10.000 I can't comment on that because at the time I was a BTT guy and now I'm a Helio Gracie guy.
00:10:15.000 We're going to have to move these things.
00:10:18.000 How are you going to set these up so we can see your faces better?
00:10:23.000 Scoot over a little bit that way.
00:10:24.000 That way it's not...
00:10:26.000 In Liam's face.
00:10:29.000 So Liam put...
00:10:31.000 Did you get in trouble for that?
00:10:32.000 Did you get in trouble for that?
00:10:33.000 There was a guy with a similar name to me who put them up, I think.
00:10:36.000 Oh, okay.
00:10:37.000 Okay, cool.
00:10:38.000 Whatever, whatever.
00:10:40.000 It totally wasn't you!
00:10:41.000 Oh yeah, right!
00:10:43.000 Anyway, recently you put up an Attention Joe Rogan thread, which those things go up every now and then in the underground.
00:10:52.000 It's usually like, you suck, your mother's a whore, or something like that.
00:10:55.000 I didn't want to enable anybody by doing that, but I thought, we're coming through America and we're coming to LA, so...
00:11:02.000 He's got a cool story.
00:11:03.000 Talk right into this sucker.
00:11:04.000 Oh, sorry.
00:11:04.000 I didn't want to enable anybody, so they're going to come out of the woodworks, the weirdos now.
00:11:09.000 They come out anywhere.
00:11:10.000 There's no way you can stop them.
00:11:11.000 They're sitting at the table with you now.
00:11:12.000 Yeah, it's the internet.
00:11:13.000 So you contacted me, and I'd seen you online.
00:11:18.000 I know that you run a gym in Sydney.
00:11:20.000 Yes.
00:11:21.000 What's the name of your gym?
00:11:22.000 VT1 Academy in Sydney.
00:11:24.000 And VT1 is MMA, teach Muay Thai there.
00:11:27.000 You guys have pretty much all mixed martial arts.
00:11:29.000 Yeah.
00:11:30.000 Yeah, it's kind of like a white-collar academy with some UFC fighters, that sort of thing.
00:11:34.000 So it's a good place for regular folks to train?
00:11:37.000 Yeah.
00:11:37.000 Oh, we started in a scout hall, and it just keeps moving forward, and we've ended up with a big academy by mistake.
00:11:43.000 Well, that's the best way to do everything.
00:11:46.000 Just follow what you love, and it all happens.
00:11:48.000 Absolutely.
00:11:48.000 By mistake.
00:11:50.000 And so you put this thread up about you and your brother Dylan being in town.
00:11:54.000 Your brother Dylan being a former championship kickboxer, former professional motorcycle racer.
00:12:00.000 And just the beginning of the thread was so crazy because you were a motorcycle racer who stopped doing motorcycle racing because you had too many concussions.
00:12:09.000 So what do you go into?
00:12:11.000 You go into fucking Thai boxing.
00:12:14.000 And then you became a champion.
00:12:17.000 That's right, yeah.
00:12:19.000 I sound like a ladyboy today.
00:12:20.000 Yeah, what's going on with your voice?
00:12:22.000 Screamy Richie in the UFC. We had one of our boys last week in Quebec, and we always lose our voices.
00:12:28.000 That's why he's lost his voice now, so he sounds like that.
00:12:31.000 Oh, one of your students was fighting in the UFC? He's an ultimate fighter.
00:12:35.000 How did he do?
00:12:36.000 He won.
00:12:37.000 He was the only Aussie to win in the prelim thing.
00:12:40.000 What's his name?
00:12:41.000 Richard Walsh, Filthy Rich.
00:12:42.000 Okay, cool, cool, cool.
00:12:43.000 And he's one of your students, awesome.
00:12:45.000 Yeah, he was on the Fight Pass, so not a lot of people saw it, but I think he's going to be the face.
00:12:50.000 Well, I was going to say you should look up, there's an article about him online if you type in the face of MMA in Australia.
00:12:55.000 Kyle Nook, right?
00:12:56.000 He's the big guy, right?
00:12:57.000 Is he the most famous?
00:12:59.000 And Hector Lombard, a lot of folks don't know, trained in Australia when he got out of Cuba.
00:13:03.000 He did a lot of his fighting initially in Australia before he fought for Bellator and then for the UFC. He's not really Australian as such, but...
00:13:11.000 Yeah, he's an amazing fighter.
00:13:13.000 Hector loves Australia.
00:13:14.000 He's an amazing fighter, of course.
00:13:16.000 But I don't think...
00:13:17.000 We're talking about when we were in Canada, like how MMA's gone down in Australia and it's shot up in Canada.
00:13:23.000 It's gone down in Australia?
00:13:25.000 It's been...
00:13:27.000 It's had a lot of trouble since the first UFC show.
00:13:29.000 I don't know if it's...
00:13:31.000 I don't know.
00:13:32.000 My theory on it was basically that we just kind of need someone coming up that makes it.
00:13:38.000 You know, like a lot of the guys we're fighting now, like Jamie and Tahuna and Anthony Parosh and them, they're already quite established before they hit the UFC. So I think we need kind of like a GSP sort of character,
00:13:53.000 you know?
00:13:54.000 Right.
00:13:54.000 An everyman sort of guy.
00:13:55.000 Yeah, I see what you're saying.
00:13:57.000 Well, you need someone who is like a championship level fighter.
00:14:01.000 Well, look, I mean, Jamie is amazing.
00:14:02.000 It's not that, it's just that.
00:14:04.000 Like, you know, Dylan Singh over here weighs about 63 kilos.
00:14:08.000 He did before.
00:14:09.000 Now he's about 100. But, you know, there's no one for him to really look up and go, man, I can be that guy because a lot of the guys are...
00:14:17.000 Heavyweights in Australia.
00:14:18.000 You know, there's no real light guys.
00:14:19.000 Right, right, right.
00:14:20.000 So I kind of think that's affecting the scene a little bit.
00:14:22.000 Maybe.
00:14:23.000 It's a theory.
00:14:24.000 It's an interesting theory.
00:14:25.000 I think if you had a champion, that would immediately get everybody excited behind it.
00:14:29.000 Well, Jamie Tahuna is possibly, I mean, a potential.
00:14:31.000 He's amazing.
00:14:32.000 Yeah, Tahuna's a tough guy.
00:14:35.000 There's a few...
00:14:37.000 Kyle Noak is also a tough guy.
00:14:39.000 You know, there's...
00:14:39.000 Who else is fighting in Australia?
00:14:41.000 You know, you got Hunt, who's out of New Zealand.
00:14:44.000 Oh, Hunt, yeah.
00:14:44.000 But it's hard for, like...
00:14:46.000 It's hard for kind of like a middle-class Australian kid to...
00:14:49.000 Or a rugby player, which are often private school boys, to kind of look at someone like Mark Hunt, who's just an amazing fighter.
00:14:56.000 Don't get me wrong.
00:14:57.000 But, yeah, it's not a...
00:14:59.000 Oh, that guy's led the way in the way I'm going to do it.
00:15:02.000 You know, no disrespect, he's an amazing fighter.
00:15:04.000 You know what I mean?
00:15:05.000 I think, yeah, I think, you know, so you need someone who's like a wholesome Australian regular guy who the folks can relate to.
00:15:13.000 Like my cunt.
00:15:15.000 Yeah, a guy with a fucking tattoo on his neck.
00:15:17.000 He's a great guy.
00:15:18.000 He's a great guy.
00:15:18.000 You know what I mean.
00:15:19.000 Yeah, no, I totally do.
00:15:20.000 I didn't know that Australian MMA has started to decline, though.
00:15:23.000 I wasn't aware of that.
00:15:24.000 There's not a lot of opportunity out there at the moment, unfortunately.
00:15:27.000 You know, like, one of our girls is fighting in the house, the one coming up, and, I mean, she was on hold for a year at a time because there was just nothing going on.
00:15:36.000 You know, there's just a couple of local promotions, but...
00:15:38.000 I mean, most of the guys move overseas like Carl and stay there because they have to.
00:15:47.000 Brian Ebersole went to Australia as well, didn't he?
00:15:50.000 Yeah, he was there for a while.
00:15:50.000 He fought over there for quite a long time, right?
00:15:52.000 He's in Thailand now, living in Thailand.
00:15:54.000 Yeah, he's having a bunch of issues, like physical issues.
00:15:58.000 I don't know.
00:15:58.000 He's a tough guy.
00:15:59.000 Yeah, very tough guy.
00:16:00.000 Very smart guy, too.
00:16:01.000 Very crafty fighter.
00:16:02.000 He's had a bunch of back things.
00:16:04.000 He's had a few things going wrong.
00:16:05.000 Kept him out of action for a while.
00:16:07.000 So anyway, so how the fuck does a guy who is having problems with concussions, what was your rationalization to not just go into Muay Thai but to become a Muay Thai world champion?
00:16:20.000 That's fucking bananas.
00:16:22.000 That seems like the worst path you could take if you've had head problems.
00:16:28.000 Yeah, I meant like we grew up doing martial arts, both Liam and I. Dad had karate schools in South Africa where we were born and opened big karate schools in Australia.
00:16:38.000 So it was in our blood.
00:16:40.000 We already were doing martial arts, uncles, boxes, etc.
00:16:43.000 But my dad also raced motorbikes and did barefoot water skiing.
00:16:47.000 Barefoot water skiing?
00:16:48.000 So that was my first proper sport with my dad and my uncle.
00:16:51.000 How the fuck do you barefoot water ski?
00:16:53.000 Do you want to tell them what they used to do with me?
00:16:55.000 I mean, actually, funny, if you look at his nose, he tells everyone at broken kickboxing, that was barefoot skiing.
00:17:02.000 Yeah, they used to, dad and my uncle used to chuck us on the back of the boat in Sydney, just at a small lake called Brooklyn, and used to be like, no, it'd be fine, just chuck us on the surfboard, crank it up, and then when they...
00:17:14.000 Just put your feet in.
00:17:14.000 Yeah, put the hand up, you know, stick your feet in and...
00:17:18.000 I was like eight years old.
00:17:19.000 And they would just drag you behind this motorboat?
00:17:22.000 Yeah.
00:17:22.000 You gotta understand, like, South Africans are what we call, like, white belt and nothing.
00:17:27.000 You know, like, they've never barefooted before, but they've got an idea of how to do it.
00:17:31.000 They saw a few videos.
00:17:33.000 Saw a few videos.
00:17:34.000 There's no YouTube.
00:17:34.000 So this wasn't something that they were, like, adept in.
00:17:37.000 They just gave it a shot.
00:17:38.000 They did it behind a smaller boat when they were South African.
00:17:42.000 Look, we used to ski, and they didn't know anything about slaloming, so they'd get snow skis, and you'd go on both, and then kick one off, and then you'd have to go fetch it.
00:17:52.000 Yeah, normally the one ski, you kick it off, it'd actually hit you.
00:17:55.000 There's no logic.
00:17:56.000 You kick it off?
00:17:56.000 What do you mean?
00:17:57.000 So basically, like when you slalom ski.
00:18:00.000 Slalom.
00:18:01.000 Slalom slalom.
00:18:03.000 Sorry.
00:18:04.000 I'm both a bit sick at the moment.
00:18:06.000 You come up out of the water out of it.
00:18:07.000 But our dad and uncle didn't know how to do that.
00:18:10.000 So they'd just put you on two skis and you'd kick one off and then go find it later.
00:18:14.000 It's just that's every Saturday morning at 5am.
00:18:16.000 The regional cops have a bit of a reputation of being idiots and they're a little bit different.
00:18:21.000 South Africa is kind of a crazy place, huh?
00:18:23.000 It's madness.
00:18:24.000 Absolute madness.
00:18:25.000 Well, where we're from, Cape Town's not that mad.
00:18:27.000 It's more Johannesburg.
00:18:29.000 Johannesburg is crazy.
00:18:30.000 It is nuts.
00:18:31.000 Cape Town is not that crazy?
00:18:32.000 Well, you just went.
00:18:33.000 Cape Town is not too bad.
00:18:34.000 I meant Johannesburg.
00:18:35.000 I meant, you know, like we were driving back from a night out and we had to call armed response to come actually follow us back to our house because we thought someone was following us.
00:18:45.000 You had to call response.
00:18:46.000 That's the police?
00:18:47.000 No, they said like ex-Congo fighters that like hang around the neighborhood, which are private security guards with massive guns.
00:18:55.000 And cars.
00:18:56.000 Yeah.
00:18:56.000 So you just call them up, look, I'm walking home.
00:18:58.000 Someone's looking at me.
00:18:59.000 You call the number and the car comes and follows you home.
00:19:01.000 Really?
00:19:02.000 Yeah.
00:19:02.000 I mean, we're not from Johannesburg.
00:19:03.000 I was in Johannesburg and I was staying at a place called Boxburg.
00:19:07.000 And I told my other friends, they want a nicer place in Johannesburg.
00:19:10.000 I was there for a wedding.
00:19:13.000 I was staying in Boxburg and my friends were like, are you out of your mind?
00:19:17.000 We had guys out the front with guns securing the complex and everyone's got dogs.
00:19:23.000 I was on the phone to my friend and across the road there was a shootout.
00:19:28.000 It's basically like a Have you seen Judge Dredd, the new one?
00:19:31.000 Yeah, that's filmed there.
00:19:34.000 It's mad there.
00:19:35.000 You don't stop at red lights.
00:19:37.000 You don't stop at red lights.
00:19:38.000 But if you look at Charlize Theron, they've got beautiful girls there.
00:19:42.000 So that makes up for it in a way.
00:19:44.000 Really?
00:19:44.000 So hot chicks and bullets flying all over the place.
00:19:49.000 Cape Town's different though.
00:19:50.000 Cape Town's where we're from.
00:19:52.000 It's a bit more like Sydney-ish.
00:19:54.000 So Cape Town's safe, fairly.
00:19:56.000 I had a guy try to get into my car when I was there, and I just drove on the other side of the road and just disappeared.
00:20:01.000 I mean, one of the dangers is Dylan came home and he's saying, you know, Cape Town's safe, and I thought, man, you know, it's safer, but I wouldn't be relaxing like it's, you know, Sydney.
00:20:13.000 Sydney's very safe, you know, comparatively.
00:20:15.000 Yeah, they did this thing on some television show where they were talking about South Africa and all the carjackings.
00:20:21.000 And so they had all these different cars that they had wired up to prevent carjackings with flames on the side.
00:20:27.000 Like they have these bars on the side of the car that blow flames on anyone standing next to the car.
00:20:33.000 That's fucking crazy.
00:20:35.000 My dad says, you know, if we go to South Africa, he's driving.
00:20:38.000 Because, you know, we don't, if people lined up across the road, me and Dylan or Dylan, I will stop.
00:20:44.000 He says, no, you just keep, you can't, in Johannesburg, different to Cape Town, but he's like, you know, they'll stop you and then carjack you.
00:20:50.000 The day I arrived there, I remember seeing on YouTube, it was only a couple, it was in November last year, I remember seeing a car pull up Just put guns straight in the window and they dragged, like, it was all over TV, dragged, you know, like four or five kids out of the car, just threw them to the curb and just drove off.
00:21:07.000 They haven't got really, they don't really care too much for life.
00:21:10.000 You gotta understand, it's like Brazil, people go, why would you live there?
00:21:13.000 You've got a lot of potential to make money there, you know, and you've got a comfortable lifestyle.
00:21:18.000 Again, we're not from there, but that's our friends who are from Johannesburg.
00:21:22.000 We say, why the hell would you stay there?
00:21:24.000 Well, they've been there for generations and you can't bring the money out.
00:21:28.000 You can't bring the money out.
00:21:30.000 It's $1 Australian to 11 Rand.
00:21:32.000 So when I go there, I shout everyone burgers.
00:21:34.000 It's cheap for us.
00:21:35.000 What does that even mean?
00:21:37.000 Shout everyone burgers?
00:21:39.000 Oh, shout as in like pay for everyone?
00:21:41.000 It's funny when I'm sitting here, I'm noticing he's talking about South Africa and his accent's becoming South African.
00:21:47.000 Is it?
00:21:48.000 As we're talking about it.
00:21:49.000 How old were you guys when you left South Africa?
00:21:52.000 One years old.
00:21:53.000 Well, that's ridiculous.
00:21:53.000 How the fuck can you keep a South African?
00:21:55.000 You couldn't even talk.
00:21:56.000 You were a baby.
00:21:56.000 Well, it's where from, actually, funny enough, and we're talking about accents.
00:22:00.000 Nobody, this whole trip, has recognized our accents as Australian.
00:22:03.000 Yeah.
00:22:04.000 Because Australians sound like kind of weak Canadians crossed with New Zealanders, you know?
00:22:09.000 Because we watch TV and we listen to podcasts and stuff.
00:22:12.000 So, you know, you have on your show Jim Jefferies, is it?
00:22:15.000 Mm-hmm.
00:22:15.000 I mean, when you listen to him, you think he's like Paul Hogan's son, you know?
00:22:20.000 Right.
00:22:20.000 Because when you come here to be recognized...
00:22:22.000 I think he plays it up a little bit.
00:22:23.000 Oh, he does.
00:22:24.000 He's from St. Ives, which is where we're from.
00:22:26.000 Yeah, I've talked to him off podcast, not quite as Australian.
00:22:31.000 Well, he's from where we're from.
00:22:33.000 The same suburb.
00:22:34.000 But look, he's very funny.
00:22:35.000 Yes, hilarious.
00:22:36.000 Very, very funny.
00:22:37.000 Is he most famous comic out of Australia?
00:22:40.000 I don't think he's...
00:22:42.000 I mean, within the people that we know, he's not that well known.
00:22:47.000 But I mean, he's...
00:22:48.000 Every now and again, someone will come up and say, hey, check this clip out.
00:22:51.000 And he's brilliant, obviously.
00:22:53.000 Yeah, he was telling me that a long time ago.
00:22:54.000 I wanted to know if that had changed, that he was having a hard time in Australia, that he was famous in America, he was doing well in America, but not so well in Australia, which I thought was odd.
00:23:02.000 Australian's weird.
00:23:03.000 If you're an American and you come to Australia, your accent will make you funnier instantly.
00:23:08.000 Think about our accent.
00:23:10.000 If I say ass, in America, it's not tough, it's not funny, it's not...
00:23:15.000 Well, there's certain comedians, I don't want to name the names, but there's certain comedians that get a little bit of extra credit because they have an English accent.
00:23:22.000 Like, will accept someone from another country and will pretend that they're way better than they really are.
00:23:26.000 And then you watch their comedy, like, American comics, like, that guy's dog shit.
00:23:30.000 Like, what the fuck is everybody going on about?
00:23:32.000 Irish accent.
00:23:32.000 Irish, that adds charm points instantly.
00:23:34.000 A little bit.
00:23:35.000 Scottish accent as well.
00:23:37.000 Yeah, we like other accents.
00:23:39.000 I don't know what the fuck that's about.
00:23:40.000 No.
00:23:41.000 Girls love it too, man.
00:23:42.000 Girls love Australian accents, right?
00:23:44.000 Don't they?
00:23:44.000 We pull it off.
00:23:46.000 He says g'day and every time we...
00:23:48.000 We've never said g'day in Australia.
00:23:50.000 Nobody in Australia says g'day.
00:23:52.000 Never.
00:23:53.000 But you meet a girl over here, you throw it around, let her know what's up.
00:23:56.000 G'day, can we get some beer?
00:23:58.000 Are you from Australia?
00:24:01.000 How long is that flight?
00:24:04.000 That's the first question we get every time from an American.
00:24:07.000 And the kangaroos.
00:24:08.000 A lot of kangaroos.
00:24:09.000 We eat kangaroos.
00:24:10.000 Is that the furthest you can get on a plane?
00:24:12.000 What's the furthest flight you can make in one shot?
00:24:15.000 Is it Australia?
00:24:15.000 Sydney to LA. Wow.
00:24:17.000 Yeah, it's pretty far.
00:24:18.000 No, is England further?
00:24:19.000 No, England's only 10 hours from here.
00:24:21.000 Sydney is 16. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass.
00:24:24.000 We haven't slept more than about four hours for the last three weeks, probably.
00:24:28.000 We're just not adjusting well.
00:24:29.000 Yeah, I've done it twice, and it's a fucking brutal flight.
00:24:31.000 It's an awesome place, though.
00:24:33.000 I've only been to Sydney.
00:24:34.000 This is the only place I've been in Australia.
00:24:35.000 I fucking love it, man.
00:24:37.000 Sydney's awesome.
00:24:37.000 If I was going to live outside of America, Sydney's on the shortlist.
00:24:40.000 It's the place, man.
00:24:41.000 Yeah, where we are now, I mean, not saying where it is, but where we are now is very similar to suburban Sydney.
00:24:47.000 We were driving around, and we're like, oh, this looks like Ride.
00:24:50.000 But you're on the wrong side of the road.
00:24:51.000 We're on the wrong side of the escalator, the wrong side of the road, we're on the wrong side of everything.
00:24:56.000 You know that awkward moment when you're just like walking out of one of those doors, you know, in Vegas, we were in Vegas yesterday, and you walk into someone and you normally shift to the left or right?
00:25:04.000 We go left because we drive on the left, but they shift right, so we're both going the same way.
00:25:09.000 I'm like, buddy, move.
00:25:11.000 Move out the way, and he's like, you move.
00:25:13.000 You keep saying, look at that car, no one's driving it.
00:25:16.000 Like, we're driving it, and I'm looking at the car, and there's no one in the front seat.
00:25:18.000 Because it's the wrong side.
00:25:20.000 There was a kid just sitting there, and we're like, what the hell?
00:25:22.000 There was a kid driving the wrong side.
00:25:24.000 That baby's driving!
00:25:26.000 Yeah.
00:25:27.000 That's pretty scary, man.
00:25:28.000 Well, we were just in Orlando and our driver was telling us that oftentimes people come from Europe or from England or where have you and in their countries they drive on the other side of the road so they come to Disney World, get drunk and get on the wrong side of the highway.
00:25:41.000 Well, he doesn't let me drive.
00:25:42.000 He doesn't trust me.
00:25:43.000 He's the mechanical guy.
00:25:44.000 I'm the directions.
00:25:45.000 We've got a Mustang so we're pretty happy about it.
00:25:47.000 Oh, you're very excited.
00:25:48.000 Yeah.
00:25:48.000 Do you guys know why the left side and the right side?
00:25:51.000 Do you know what the origin of that shit is?
00:25:52.000 I heard an explanation but I don't.
00:25:54.000 I'll tell you what it is.
00:25:55.000 The left side, the reason why they did it in England and a lot of those countries is because it was from way back in the day when people would ride horses because you wanted to have your sword arm on the right-hand side if someone was coming the other way so you could fucking hack at them.
00:26:10.000 So where did America go wrong?
00:26:12.000 Is everyone left-handed here?
00:26:14.000 They decided no more war.
00:26:15.000 Fuck it.
00:26:16.000 Maybe Henry Ford was a fucking lefty.
00:26:20.000 I don't know.
00:26:20.000 I don't know what started it off.
00:26:22.000 It's fun.
00:26:22.000 I mean, our whole trip we basically spend the whole time just...
00:26:25.000 I mean, you guys in America...
00:26:29.000 Looking around and you're driving and you're bored and this and interstate, this and that.
00:26:32.000 For us, it's like we're watching movies through our eyes.
00:26:36.000 We just drove past Sherman Oaks and I was watching No Retreat, No Surrender last week and we were just like, that's fucking Sherman Oaks.
00:26:42.000 I took photos.
00:26:42.000 What's No Surrender?
00:26:43.000 No Retreat, No Surrender.
00:26:44.000 You never saw that?
00:26:45.000 Is it a karate movie or something?
00:26:47.000 I remember back in the day, the guy's name.
00:26:48.000 It was Van Damme's first.
00:26:50.000 Oh, okay.
00:26:51.000 He went to play Sherman Oaks karate.
00:26:53.000 We're like, Sherman Oaks, we're going to take photos.
00:26:55.000 That's hilarious.
00:26:56.000 This is a silly suburb.
00:27:00.000 I didn't think we got Starbucks.
00:27:02.000 There it is.
00:27:03.000 No retreat, no surrender.
00:27:04.000 We watched it last week, man.
00:27:06.000 It's the greatest.
00:27:06.000 Have you ever seen the Jean-Claude Van Damme reality show?
00:27:10.000 Oh, where he does a lot of coke and then whatever.
00:27:13.000 His lawyer might not be happy about that.
00:27:15.000 Well, whatever.
00:27:16.000 He does a lot of coke.
00:27:17.000 I still like it.
00:27:18.000 His lawyer can go fuck himself.
00:27:19.000 I like the guy too.
00:27:20.000 But his reality show is goddamn brilliant.
00:27:23.000 It is?
00:27:24.000 He's so crazy.
00:27:26.000 He's so off the fucking chain crazy that you watch his reality show and he keeps talking about this fight that he's going to have.
00:27:36.000 Yeah, with the tie that's like 90 years old.
00:27:38.000 Well, it doesn't matter.
00:27:39.000 He's not having a fight.
00:27:40.000 I mean, it's just, you know it, I know it, he knows it, everyone knows it that's filming it.
00:27:44.000 It's like this weird charade that he puts on, where he pretends, and he cries, where he starts talking about the fight.
00:27:51.000 I saw that.
00:27:51.000 The fight to show the children I'm going to knock him out!
00:27:55.000 But it's like, the way he talks is like a character in a movie.
00:27:58.000 He's such a romantic, though, you know?
00:27:59.000 But a fake romance!
00:28:01.000 Romantic like a romantic in a bad movie.
00:28:03.000 It's like he's become a guy who speaks in bad dialogue.
00:28:07.000 He's like become that guy.
00:28:09.000 Well, I mean, I wanted to ask you about that.
00:28:11.000 You know, he still speaks with that accent.
00:28:13.000 He's been living here forever.
00:28:14.000 So is Arnold Schwarzenegger, right?
00:28:15.000 Does he live here?
00:28:16.000 Oh, I mean, he's been traveling.
00:28:18.000 The show, it looks like he's in another country.
00:28:20.000 It's hard to tell.
00:28:20.000 He was in Dubai in one of them.
00:28:21.000 Remember, he has a sparring match with some random chic dude and sidekicks him.
00:28:26.000 Did you see that?
00:28:27.000 No, I didn't see that episode.
00:28:28.000 He's...
00:28:29.000 But they were saying, when we were up in Canada, someone was saying, you know, GSP, for example, has kept his accent on a certain level because it's so recognizable.
00:28:38.000 No, no, no.
00:28:39.000 I didn't think that was true.
00:28:40.000 Somebody was saying that to me.
00:28:41.000 No, George lives in Montreal.
00:28:42.000 George speaks perfect French.
00:28:45.000 I mean, it's not his accent.
00:28:46.000 When I talk to George outside of the octagon, he speaks exactly like that.
00:28:50.000 He does?
00:28:50.000 Yeah, he's very authentic.
00:28:52.000 Which is the reason I'm bringing it up.
00:28:53.000 I was just wondering if Van Damme's handlers or George's handlers haven't kept him...
00:28:58.000 You know what I mean?
00:28:59.000 Like, if he started talking like this...
00:29:01.000 George doesn't have those kind of handlers.
00:29:03.000 George has trainers and, you know, jiu-jitsu coaches and mixed martial arts trainers.
00:29:07.000 He doesn't have those kind of handlers.
00:29:08.000 But Van Dam?
00:29:10.000 Maybe.
00:29:11.000 But Van...
00:29:11.000 I mean, George was just in that Captain America movie, but he really didn't talk all that much.
00:29:16.000 It was mostly him just kicking ass, you know?
00:29:18.000 It's a fun movie.
00:29:19.000 Did you see Captain America?
00:29:20.000 Yeah.
00:29:20.000 Fucking creeped up.
00:29:22.000 There's a problem with the movie.
00:29:23.000 An obvious problem.
00:29:24.000 What's that?
00:29:25.000 Captain America knows the Hulk, and he doesn't call him.
00:29:28.000 Right when he's in trouble.
00:29:29.000 The fucking world's about to end, and he knows this invincible green dude.
00:29:33.000 Why wouldn't he just go, hey, hey, look, there's some shit going down.
00:29:35.000 I'm tired of getting my ass kicked.
00:29:37.000 I'll be right back.
00:29:38.000 I'm going to make a call.
00:29:39.000 And the Hulk comes flying in and just fucking smashes everything.
00:29:42.000 The movie's over in ten minutes.
00:29:44.000 All those dudes.
00:29:45.000 If Captain America's duking it out with those dudes and they're going blow for blow, the Hulk finishes everything in five seconds.
00:29:52.000 The fucking movie is over.
00:29:54.000 No plot to take over the world.
00:29:55.000 It's over.
00:29:56.000 It's over.
00:29:57.000 Everybody rest assured.
00:29:58.000 Sleep tight.
00:29:59.000 They had the Ed Norton one on TV the other day.
00:30:01.000 We were watching it in Vegas.
00:30:03.000 With Hickson?
00:30:03.000 Yeah, with Hickson.
00:30:04.000 And the first 45 minutes of the movie are him avoiding wrecking stuff.
00:30:08.000 He doesn't even do anything for him.
00:30:09.000 Just 45. What's his name?
00:30:12.000 Mark Ruffalo?
00:30:13.000 Is that his name?
00:30:13.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:30:14.000 He's awesome.
00:30:15.000 He's the best Banner ever.
00:30:17.000 Here's another piece of American trivia.
00:30:20.000 In the comic books, his name is Bruce Banner.
00:30:23.000 But when they made the television show, they changed it to David Banner because they think Bruce is a gay name.
00:30:30.000 That's how silly we are.
00:30:32.000 We're fucking silly.
00:30:33.000 That's why we love America.
00:30:34.000 We're as silly as shit, man.
00:30:36.000 So, back to you, man.
00:30:37.000 How the fuck...
00:30:38.000 Get right back to that question.
00:30:40.000 How the fuck do you go from having too many concussions in motorcycle racing?
00:30:45.000 How many concussions did you have, by the way?
00:30:49.000 Motorbikes had about four big accidents on the track.
00:30:52.000 So four out cold, KO'd, flatlined.
00:30:55.000 Probably about three of them.
00:30:56.000 Hospitalish.
00:30:57.000 Yeah.
00:30:57.000 Three hospitalizations from head injuries.
00:31:01.000 Oh, that was just from the motorbikes.
00:31:04.000 But you didn't wreck your body.
00:31:06.000 No, it was actually all right.
00:31:07.000 It was all right.
00:31:08.000 So it was just head injuries.
00:31:10.000 Yeah.
00:31:11.000 Yeah.
00:31:12.000 To be honest, we've actually had no major injuries from barefoot water skiing, fighting, racing bikes.
00:31:18.000 That's incredible.
00:31:19.000 Started bull riding recently.
00:31:20.000 That is the worst thing you ever did.
00:31:21.000 Shut the fuck up.
00:31:22.000 You started bull riding?
00:31:24.000 You're the manliest man alive.
00:31:27.000 Look at you.
00:31:28.000 You only do savage shit.
00:31:29.000 We look like little hobbits.
00:31:30.000 That's the funny thing.
00:31:32.000 I love bull riding.
00:31:33.000 It's a good fight.
00:31:33.000 I only started getting into it.
00:31:35.000 You love bull riding.
00:31:36.000 Well, I popped my shoulder and I landed upside down.
00:31:38.000 Oh, dude, you've got to stop doing that.
00:31:39.000 That's the first time.
00:31:40.000 We had a guy on Fear Factor that had been a professional bull rider and he had just had scars all over his shoulder.
00:31:46.000 It had been reconstructed like eight times.
00:31:48.000 And he said that anything goes wrong, plop, it just pops out on him.
00:31:53.000 His shoulder's just loose as fuck.
00:31:54.000 Well, the thing is, the hospital called me, my friends called me, oh yeah, Dylan's dislocated his shoulder, and I'm like, oh, here we go.
00:32:01.000 I've been in the hospital on average like 10 times a year for 12 years.
00:32:05.000 10 times a year?
00:32:07.000 Like, just always little things, just stupid.
00:32:09.000 It's always stupid things, you know, but they called me, and I was just like, tell Dylan I'm fucking happy.
00:32:14.000 He dislocated his shoulder.
00:32:15.000 It could have been his neck.
00:32:15.000 You've got to talk right into this.
00:32:16.000 Oh, sorry.
00:32:17.000 It just has a big difference in the volume.
00:32:19.000 It's a bit intimidating looking at it.
00:32:23.000 I think I'd be used to it.
00:32:25.000 Sorry.
00:32:26.000 Why are you looking at me when you said that?
00:32:27.000 That's a black dick joke for those at home that are listening, not watching.
00:32:31.000 But he just complimented me, so I'm sweet with that.
00:32:34.000 I get it.
00:32:34.000 The first thing I did was, I was like, fuck you.
00:32:36.000 I was basically just like, fuck you.
00:32:39.000 Because we were in the academy together.
00:32:40.000 I said, fuck you.
00:32:41.000 You discade your shoulder.
00:32:43.000 You're lucky it wasn't your neck.
00:32:44.000 Hung up the phone.
00:32:45.000 I'm not even going to deal with it because I'm just like, I'm glad you did it.
00:32:47.000 Why are you boat riding?
00:32:48.000 Look, I retired from fighting about a year ago, a year and a half ago, and been living in Thailand on and off for a long time.
00:32:54.000 And it's a very hard thing for people that are like, you know, eight, nine, ten years in their career.
00:32:58.000 I mean, look at John Wayne Parr, who's actually a good friend of mine.
00:33:01.000 Yeah, I love that too.
00:33:02.000 Great guy.
00:33:02.000 And you couldn't say one bad thing about him.
00:33:04.000 He's a sweetheart.
00:33:05.000 Great fighter, great guy.
00:33:08.000 Really good guy.
00:33:09.000 You've got to get him on the show.
00:33:10.000 I love him.
00:33:11.000 He's awesome.
00:33:11.000 He's so funny.
00:33:12.000 I met him for the first time about a year ago when he came to the UFC. I got him tickets for the fights.
00:33:18.000 I love that guy.
00:33:19.000 Big fan.
00:33:19.000 I wanted to ask you a question about being a celebrity of sorts.
00:33:22.000 I mean, you are a celebrity, I guess.
00:33:24.000 Absolutely.
00:33:25.000 I don't know what I'm talking about.
00:33:27.000 Aussies don't like to recognize celebrities to some degree.
00:33:30.000 They feel embarrassed.
00:33:32.000 But one thing I was going to say is, looking on the internet, I want to know how you deal with this.
00:33:36.000 And I'm taking it off topic again, sorry.
00:33:38.000 But some guy comes up to me the other day and he's like, Wayne Parr, yeah, I hear he's all fake and he's a dick and this and that.
00:33:43.000 Now, he's absolutely not fake.
00:33:45.000 Absolutely.
00:33:46.000 He got up at 9am hungover to treat one of our students to pads.
00:33:50.000 He's the genuinely nicest dude I've ever met, right?
00:33:53.000 Yes, I agree.
00:33:53.000 But it just seems like you can't be a celebrity without some dick just shutting you down, making shit up about you.
00:34:00.000 Well, eventually you realize that the only type of people that would do that, they would attack you for no reason.
00:34:06.000 Are idiots.
00:34:08.000 So if you're going to live your life worrying about idiots or worrying about bitter, negative people, some people are actually smart.
00:34:14.000 Some people will attack you and they're smart and they write these scathing, negative things about you that are not true, not based on reality.
00:34:20.000 They make these judgments of you.
00:34:21.000 They decide how you think and they flavor you and their posts, whether it's a message board post or a blog post, but they're just negative people.
00:34:32.000 There's a real problem with being able to post on the internet.
00:34:35.000 Whether it's posting on a message forum or whether it's making a blog.
00:34:39.000 And that problem is you're not interacting.
00:34:43.000 You're just putting out a thing, which is fine.
00:34:47.000 There's good to that because you could read things that people write, whether it's a blog post or a message board forum post like on the underground.
00:34:56.000 That can be very informative and fascinating.
00:34:58.000 But also you can decide to, like, you know, Liam is obsessed with himself.
00:35:04.000 His ideas are bullshit.
00:35:06.000 His ideas are...
00:35:07.000 And you can just go on and on and on with all this ad hominems and all these fallacies about a person.
00:35:14.000 And the person's not there to respond.
00:35:16.000 And so if that person reads it, like, no, I'm not.
00:35:18.000 What the fuck, asshole?
00:35:21.000 But this is not a conversation.
00:35:23.000 And those kind of interactions would never take place if someone was in front of you.
00:35:27.000 If they were in front of John Wayne Parley, John Wayne Parley's fake, he's bullshit.
00:35:31.000 And John Wayne Parley, what are you talking about, mate?
00:35:32.000 I'm right here.
00:35:34.000 Fake, I'm right here.
00:35:34.000 They just wouldn't say it to him.
00:35:35.000 Well, they wouldn't say it to him.
00:35:36.000 And even if they did, he'd be like, okay, well, how am I fake?
00:35:39.000 Explain how I'm fake.
00:35:40.000 And he'd be like, well, I've never done that.
00:35:41.000 What are you saying?
00:35:42.000 He's a nice guy.
00:35:42.000 He'd probably just be like, oh, that's your problem, mate.
00:35:43.000 Yeah.
00:35:44.000 He wouldn't even react.
00:35:45.000 And he's a self-actualized, you know, he's got personal sovereignty.
00:35:49.000 He doesn't need a fucking idiot's opinion of him to define him.
00:35:54.000 But people will try to define you.
00:35:56.000 And they'll try to define you in a bunch of ways.
00:35:58.000 But most of the time, the reason why they try to define you is because they're failures.
00:36:02.000 Whether they're personal failures, whether they're professional failures...
00:36:05.000 They're failures at life in some way, shape, or form.
00:36:07.000 If they don't have a real interaction...
00:36:10.000 You didn't steal from them.
00:36:11.000 You didn't do anything to them personally.
00:36:13.000 If they don't have a real beef with you, they just decide to start attacking you.
00:36:17.000 Almost always, it's because they're losers.
00:36:20.000 So you're dealing with a pool of people that are almost all failures.
00:36:24.000 What they see in you, whether it's John Wayne Parr...
00:36:27.000 Look, John Wayne Parr is a multiple-time world champion.
00:36:31.000 I mean, he's a...
00:36:32.000 He's a bonafide bad motherfucker.
00:36:35.000 I mean, he's a guy that, look at him, there he is right there.
00:36:37.000 And George St. Pierre brought him in to help him with his kickboxing.
00:36:41.000 I mean, he's just, he's as legit as they get.
00:36:44.000 I mean, look at that fucking stack of belts!
00:36:47.000 Well, a guy who sees a guy like that, and you know, men measure themselves against other men.
00:36:52.000 They don't like it.
00:36:54.000 Imagine his eBay store.
00:36:55.000 I have had fucking conversation with someone like, hey, what's up?
00:36:58.000 Hey, how you doing?
00:36:59.000 And then fucking that one person will tell someone else some 20-minute story about what a douche I was because I didn't say, hey, what's up, the right way.
00:37:08.000 You know, people just decide that they're going to define you because defining you in a negative way somehow or another makes them feel less bad about how they compare themselves to you.
00:37:19.000 If you compare themselves to a guy like John Wayne Parr, they come up short.
00:37:21.000 I mean, he's a fucking savage.
00:37:23.000 He's a rare human being.
00:37:24.000 So you compare yourself to him.
00:37:26.000 You don't like it.
00:37:27.000 Hey, that guy's a fucking fake.
00:37:29.000 He's a this, he's a that.
00:37:30.000 People love to just chop people down.
00:37:32.000 It's that crabs in a bucket mentality.
00:37:34.000 You know what crabs in a bucket is?
00:37:36.000 Put a bunch of crabs in a bucket.
00:37:37.000 They can never get out of that bucket.
00:37:38.000 Because as they're trying to get out of the bucket, the other crabs pull on them and drag them down.
00:37:41.000 Yeah, right.
00:37:42.000 Well, he actually, I mean, you can talk about it instead of me asking you, but I mean, for a fighter, it must be terrible because you can get knocked out and you look silly when you're knocked out.
00:37:51.000 I mean, not silly, but I mean, it's not a nice moment, right?
00:37:56.000 There's a video of a guy coming up to Rashad Evans with a photograph of when Lyoto Machida knocked him out.
00:38:01.000 You know that famous photo?
00:38:02.000 Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:38:02.000 Because he got really knocked out and he was unconscious.
00:38:05.000 The guy was asking Rashad to sign it with a big smile on his face.
00:38:08.000 What a dick.
00:38:09.000 Well, you stopped going on the internet after a while, didn't you?
00:38:11.000 Yeah, I had him just writing for me, man.
00:38:14.000 How's his publicist?
00:38:15.000 Yeah, basically.
00:38:16.000 I just stick off the internet.
00:38:17.000 And the other problem is this anonymity.
00:38:21.000 The ability to post something as, you know, jickfuck69, and you make some fake name up, and you could just say the meanest shit about somebody, you know, instead of, like, a photo of you, and here's my background, this is where I went to school, this is what I've accomplished in my life, and this is what I think about Dylan.
00:38:36.000 Instead of saying that, you just post some nonsense, some fake account or fake name rather.
00:38:43.000 Anonymity with sensitive information and insults just doesn't work that way.
00:38:48.000 The thing about insulting someone, if you define someone, insult someone, most of the time there's an evaluation process during that insulting.
00:38:57.000 If someone's a...
00:38:59.000 Fucking 300 pound guy who just shit his pants and he's calling you a loser.
00:39:02.000 It's really difficult to take him seriously.
00:39:05.000 It's like, oh, I'm a loser.
00:39:06.000 But if someone's an anonymous poster online, all that evaluation kind of goes away.
00:39:11.000 It's like, do you take that person's opinion seriously?
00:39:14.000 Yeah.
00:39:16.000 It must be terrible for fighters.
00:39:18.000 It is.
00:39:19.000 Look at the underground.
00:39:20.000 How many fucking pros post on the underground?
00:39:21.000 Where's the last time you saw John Jones posting on the underground?
00:39:24.000 A lot of them lurk, they go in, they creep around, they look, but when they post, just so many fucking assholes.
00:39:30.000 I mean, Tito Ortiz is probably one of the last guys that stopped posting, but even he gave up after a while.
00:39:35.000 How many times can you hear people...
00:39:37.000 Anonymous 14 year olds just shit all over you.
00:39:41.000 But I treat it like snake venom.
00:39:43.000 And I feel like you get bit by a snake and you can really get fucked up.
00:39:47.000 But if you get bit by a little bit of snake venom every day, you get immune to it.
00:39:52.000 Let's go ahead and kick in.
00:39:53.000 That's how I look at it, personally.
00:39:54.000 But it's just a side effect of this stage of interaction.
00:39:59.000 Because there's not going to be any anonymity within the next decade or two decades or whatever it's going to be.
00:40:08.000 Enjoy your privacy and your freedom now, because it's not going to exist 20 years, 30 years from now.
00:40:13.000 It's just not.
00:40:14.000 It's a good thing, right?
00:40:15.000 Yeah, in a way...
00:40:17.000 I mean, for a guy like me, it's normal because I'm already not anonymous.
00:40:21.000 I'm already out there.
00:40:22.000 But I think everyone's going to be out there like that.
00:40:24.000 People are going to pretty much know as much about you as is humanly possible.
00:40:29.000 Yeah, well, that's coming on the show.
00:40:30.000 It's funny.
00:40:31.000 We talked a lot about this.
00:40:32.000 And one of the projects we're doing...
00:40:35.000 The growing down one is with a psychologist.
00:40:38.000 We were talking about it and being on the show and stuff.
00:40:41.000 We've got a business that we teach kids.
00:40:43.000 We teach adults and we teach a lot of sensitive people in a white collar area.
00:40:48.000 The psychologist friend of mine, Jonathan Back, he's on the other show.
00:40:55.000 It took him a while to open up a little bit because he was worried...
00:40:59.000 People get a lot of information about you on these things.
00:41:02.000 They can judge you, they can use it against you, this and that.
00:41:05.000 Especially if you're somebody who likes to talk like we do, or I suppose you do as well, and just give opinions and think and shout things out.
00:41:12.000 It seems like it might be a little bit dangerous.
00:41:14.000 What did you write there?
00:41:15.000 It looks like a dick.
00:41:17.000 What did you write?
00:41:18.000 We're just worrying about the effect of what you say can have in a public scene, whereas if you're at a bar, you can say whatever you want, you know?
00:41:25.000 Right.
00:41:25.000 Well, yeah, there's definitely going to be a lot of people that judge your thoughts and your opinions and how you express yourself.
00:41:30.000 But at the end of the day, it forces you to evaluate your thoughts and your opinions and how you express yourself.
00:41:35.000 And you, you know, you have to...
00:41:37.000 You have to own your words and you have to mean what you say and say what you mean.
00:41:41.000 And once you do that, you're like, I'm comfortable with it.
00:41:43.000 There's not a single thing I've ever said on this podcast that I feel like, man, I really fucked up when I said that because now people have a different opinion of me.
00:41:51.000 My opinions that I say on the podcast are well thought out and I'm lucky that I started it later in my life.
00:41:58.000 I didn't do a podcast when I was 20 when I was a fucking idiot.
00:42:01.000 I think back on that, like, God damn it.
00:42:04.000 If there was podcasts from when I was 20, oh my God, you could hold it against me to the end of time.
00:42:09.000 Because we all learn, you have to be, if you're going to be out there and you're going to take chances, you're going to fuck up.
00:42:15.000 And you're going to fuck up socially, intellectually, along the ways.
00:42:19.000 The only way a person learns is by trial and error.
00:42:22.000 Trial and error and absorbing information from other sources.
00:42:25.000 Those are the way.
00:42:25.000 You learn on your own, by your own failures and your attempts at, you know, Accomplishing things that you're not really qualified to do, and then you learn from other people's information and from other people's failures.
00:42:36.000 That's what we do.
00:42:38.000 Absolutely.
00:42:38.000 But when you fail online, man, you know, I mean, how many fucking knockout animated GIFs have you seen?
00:42:45.000 I mean, for the longest time, remember that guy Fred Eddish?
00:42:49.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:50.000 That poor fucking guy was tortured.
00:42:52.000 Fred Eddish is a guy who fought in UFC 1, and he fought Johnny Rhodes, and Johnny Rhodes beat him down, and there was a guy who started a website called the Fred Eddish Fetal Fighting Style.
00:43:04.000 Because he curled up in a fetal position while Johnny Rhodes was beating him down.
00:43:08.000 So they were torturing this fucking guy.
00:43:11.000 And he's fought again since then, right?
00:43:14.000 Yes.
00:43:14.000 He fought MMA. Well, he learned jiu-jitsu.
00:43:16.000 He became a real MMA fighter.
00:43:18.000 I think he fought more than once.
00:43:20.000 But he's a legitimate martial artist.
00:43:22.000 Like a lot of us back then, before the UFC came along, he didn't understand what real fighting was about.
00:43:28.000 He thought that his karate was enough.
00:43:31.000 When I was doing Taekwondo, if the UFC had been around when I had only done Taekwondo, I probably would have thought that Taekwondo was enough, and somebody would have taken me down and strangled me.
00:43:41.000 When I first went into kickboxing, it was a huge realization to me that I thought that Taekwondo was enough, and then I was getting my face punched in.
00:43:50.000 I was like, oh my god, there's so many holes in this style.
00:43:53.000 And then I started Muay Thai, and I'm like, oh goddammit, kicking the legs!
00:43:57.000 And then it was jiu-jitsu.
00:43:58.000 I was like, oh, well, fucking Christ.
00:44:00.000 I've spent all this time doing this one style that I thought was sufficient.
00:44:04.000 But that's what the UFC was all about.
00:44:06.000 It was exposing the world to the effectiveness of real martial arts.
00:44:10.000 I'm laughing because I ended up doing jiu-jitsu extensively, and he did Muay Thai, but he ended up doing jiu-jitsu because every time we get in an argument over MIRC, jiu-jitsu would win.
00:44:22.000 Oh, yeah.
00:44:22.000 Take him down and strangle him.
00:44:24.000 My mom wasn't very happy about it.
00:44:25.000 Well, most people have no idea how helpless they are on the ground until it happens.
00:44:30.000 You have all these ideas and, you know, Dana White and I had this conversation the other day.
00:44:34.000 He used to joke around about it, but he used to always think, if a guy tries to take me down, I'm fucking hit him with an uppercut and do this and do that.
00:44:41.000 Dana says that.
00:44:42.000 In the old days.
00:44:43.000 Oh, right.
00:44:43.000 That's how he used to think.
00:44:44.000 Not now.
00:44:45.000 No.
00:44:46.000 He's like, I really thought that before we went, you know, we owned the UFC, before I started, you know, learning about mixed martial arts.
00:44:53.000 It's like we laugh about it because everyone has these preconceived notions.
00:44:56.000 You don't realize how helpless you are until you actually do it.
00:44:59.000 Well, he's got a bouncer to hit you now, so I'm going to, a bodyguard to hit you.
00:45:03.000 Well, nobody's hitting anyway.
00:45:04.000 He's a sweetheart.
00:45:05.000 Danny's one of the nicest guys ever.
00:45:07.000 He does seem like I am.
00:45:07.000 The point is that most people have no idea how helpless they really are until they actually roll.
00:45:13.000 Yeah, he pursued jiu-jitsu quite seriously for a while as a result.
00:45:17.000 You know how frustrating he is?
00:45:18.000 I'm like, let him get the hell off the computer and he just takes me down and chokes me out.
00:45:21.000 It's too easy, right?
00:45:23.000 It's fucking frustrating.
00:45:24.000 I took it up quick, man.
00:45:25.000 You come back!
00:45:27.000 It gets you mad.
00:45:29.000 You can't just, like, nail your brother in the face.
00:45:31.000 No.
00:45:32.000 You try.
00:45:33.000 I try it.
00:45:34.000 Well, I've tried once.
00:45:35.000 Well, at least you're a martial artist, though.
00:45:37.000 The really crazy thing is when you get someone who has no martial arts experience whatsoever, and, you know, you go, okay, lie on top of me and try to keep me from strangling you.
00:45:45.000 Ready, set, go.
00:45:47.000 And they'll try to, like, hold you in place, and then the next thing you know.
00:45:49.000 Hold their breath.
00:45:50.000 Yeah, it takes, like, fucking ten seconds, though.
00:45:51.000 All of a sudden, they're essentially a dead man.
00:45:54.000 That's the beautiful thing about jiu-jitsu, and that's what jiu-jitsu showed the world.
00:45:59.000 But these poor guys like Fred Eddish and these poor guys that had to...
00:46:02.000 They had to be the reason why we learned.
00:46:04.000 We had to see these guys learn.
00:46:06.000 We had to see these guys get taken down.
00:46:09.000 Art Jimerson with his boxing and one glove on.
00:46:12.000 We had to see these guys getting taken down.
00:46:14.000 Art Jimerson wants a rematch with Hoist Gracie.
00:46:16.000 I could talk to him recently about it.
00:46:17.000 He's a bit kind of shaky.
00:46:18.000 A little bit.
00:46:20.000 Taking a few of those.
00:46:21.000 But in Thailand, it's funny.
00:46:24.000 It's getting a bit better now, but every time we'd go, there were a couple of places like Supra that had a cage and the Thais would be like, yeah, I'm going to fight MMA soon.
00:46:31.000 I've got a big heart, you know, and clinch.
00:46:34.000 Their clinch is ridiculous.
00:46:35.000 But when you hit the ground, they don't have the ability to relax.
00:46:40.000 They don't really get it yet, which is a shame.
00:46:44.000 Well, it's a very different thing, especially Muay Thai or any kind of striking, going from striking to grappling.
00:46:51.000 I've seen friends that are good boxers, and they've got very good endurance, like hitting the pads.
00:46:55.000 They can hit the bag for five, six rounds, no problem.
00:46:58.000 They roll for a minute, and they're exhausted.
00:47:00.000 They just don't understand.
00:47:01.000 It's a totally different style of moving, conserving your energy.
00:47:05.000 It's just a...
00:47:06.000 But, you know, those guys, man, we owe such a huge debt of gratitude to the original UFC fighters because they showed us.
00:47:13.000 With their own humiliation in their losses, you know, and even guys who are like badasses like Orlando Veet.
00:47:20.000 Remember that guy?
00:47:21.000 I know.
00:47:21.000 That Muay Thai guy?
00:47:22.000 He's a fucking animal, man.
00:47:24.000 The commentator says, oh, he'll be out of this shortly.
00:47:26.000 He's unconscious.
00:47:28.000 Yeah, Remco Pardue elbowed him into another universe.
00:47:32.000 That was a horrific knockout, too, because he was trapped under this giant judo guy who's just smashing him with elbows in his head, and his head is stuck there.
00:47:40.000 He's just...
00:47:41.000 This huge judo guy just crushing him.
00:47:45.000 And then he gets crushed by Marco Huas and Hoist Gracie and all these other people.
00:47:49.000 We learned, we really learned what real fighting is.
00:47:53.000 So many of us had all these...
00:47:56.000 Crazy ideas of what fighting was.
00:47:58.000 I think I was like 12 and I was in England.
00:48:00.000 Oh, in England, yeah.
00:48:01.000 I went to England just on holiday with the family and Liam said, listen man, Dylan, you've got to get me this crazy cage fighting.
00:48:10.000 It's illegal in Australia.
00:48:10.000 Like you couldn't actually buy it in Australia.
00:48:13.000 It was UFC 1. [...
00:48:28.000 So it was the first one we ever watched.
00:48:29.000 Yeah, it was too.
00:48:30.000 Because in Australia we just didn't have access.
00:48:32.000 We used to trade VHS tapes overseas.
00:48:35.000 That was the only way we could do it.
00:48:36.000 Was that one of your businesses for a while?
00:48:38.000 Yeah, well in high school I couldn't get hold of it.
00:48:40.000 So I had this UFC 3 tape and then I legally sent it overseas to trade it with somebody.
00:48:47.000 So I had two tapes and then we had three tapes and then I'd trade three and I'd have three tapes, six tapes, etc.
00:48:53.000 But I remember we watched it and we waited until everybody went downstairs because we thought someone was going to die.
00:48:58.000 So we were huddled around the thing, we pushed play, and of course nobody died.
00:49:01.000 There's no Google, nothing back there.
00:49:02.000 Well, they could have though, man, because the medical test they did on those guys was fucking nothing, man.
00:49:08.000 You know, there was nothing going on, they just threw people in there and hoped they survived.
00:49:12.000 And Joe Sun looks like he probably has been messing around on a corner a little bit.
00:49:16.000 Well, you know Joe Son's in jail now.
00:49:17.000 Yeah, he murdered someone now.
00:49:19.000 No.
00:49:19.000 Well, he murdered someone in jail, but he went to jail because he was a part of a gang rape.
00:49:24.000 Yeah, they did a...
00:49:25.000 I don't know what happened.
00:49:26.000 He got arrested for something else, and they matched his DNA sample with an unsolved gang rape.
00:49:33.000 I'm laughing at the giant cross.
00:49:35.000 Anytime you see someone that extreme, you know they're going the other way shortly.
00:49:38.000 Joseon used to hang around the comedy store before he ever got arrested, and he was so weird, man.
00:49:43.000 He called everybody sir, called you sir and mister, and he would hug everybody.
00:49:47.000 He was really, really weird, man.
00:49:49.000 He was really weird, because he was like five foot two and just jacked.
00:49:53.000 And he was hanging around and everybody was like, this guy's fucking crazy.
00:49:56.000 It was like a weird dog that you were hoping that didn't bite you.
00:50:00.000 And everybody was like, yeah, nice dog.
00:50:02.000 Okay, let's get out of here.
00:50:04.000 In Australia, when we have weird dudes, you don't generally worry about getting stabbed or shot.
00:50:10.000 In America, it's a real concern with drugs and stuff.
00:50:13.000 We just don't have that imminent sense of danger that you guys...
00:50:18.000 Obviously, they're safe areas, but...
00:50:22.000 You just don't hear about it in Australia as much.
00:50:24.000 So in Australia, there's more fistfights?
00:50:25.000 Is that what it is?
00:50:26.000 There's more fistfights.
00:50:27.000 There's bottlings.
00:50:28.000 England as well.
00:50:29.000 Bottlings are ridiculous, man.
00:50:30.000 It's fucking scary shit.
00:50:31.000 Coward punches now.
00:50:32.000 Yeah, they've got those past them all.
00:50:34.000 Coward punches?
00:50:34.000 They call it dog punching.
00:50:37.000 Sucker punching.
00:50:37.000 King hitting.
00:50:38.000 Sucker punching.
00:50:39.000 If you hit someone while you're intoxicated or even...
00:50:42.000 I don't know exactly, it just got passed.
00:50:43.000 And you hit them, it's like a massive jail sentence.
00:50:46.000 So some kid got hit and died by this big juice head who said he was an MMA fighter.
00:50:51.000 Oh yeah, that was bad.
00:50:52.000 So he got soccer punched?
00:50:53.000 He got, well, there were two or three kids arguing with him.
00:50:57.000 They were kind of like, you know, well-dressed sort of kids and the guy hit one of them and then...
00:51:03.000 He fell and hit his head?
00:51:04.000 Yeah, he hit his head and died and...
00:51:06.000 They want to change it to say, it's not called a sucker punch or a king hit, it's called a coward punch.
00:51:10.000 So Australia kind of rallies behind these odd things like that.
00:51:13.000 Now they've also made it that you can't go out, you can't come into a bar after a certain time.
00:51:18.000 So they got locked down now after, I think, three, we didn't go out much, but three o'clock you can't, whatever club you're in, you've got to stay there, like you can't come and go.
00:51:27.000 Huh, why's that?
00:51:28.000 They've got up in Queenslanders.
00:51:29.000 No common sense.
00:51:30.000 It's just, they keep the dickheads out on the street, so when you go out with your wife, they're waiting on the corner rejected from a club.
00:51:37.000 So it's worse.
00:51:38.000 Well, you know what, man?
00:51:39.000 The idea of having these places where people consume the worst drug ever for social behavior, and it's all over the world.
00:51:45.000 Absolutely.
00:51:47.000 Yeah.
00:52:03.000 There would be no fucking fights!
00:52:04.000 Absolutely.
00:52:05.000 Nobody wants to fight on pot.
00:52:06.000 They just don't.
00:52:07.000 Even if you're thinking about fighting, you're like, I gotta go.
00:52:09.000 I gotta get out of here.
00:52:09.000 Fuck this.
00:52:10.000 Canadians are so nice.
00:52:11.000 Yeah, that's one of the reasons.
00:52:12.000 Because those guys smoke like crazy.
00:52:13.000 They're just nice, period, because they're not trying to take over the world.
00:52:16.000 You know, one of the big fucking problems with America is that America's got this long, deep history of trying to take over the world.
00:52:23.000 Or defend against other people trying to take over the world.
00:52:25.000 So it's just...
00:52:27.000 Fucking group of psychopaths living right underneath these nice folks to the north.
00:52:31.000 Yeah.
00:52:31.000 We just went to Quebec and Montreal.
00:52:33.000 It was beautiful.
00:52:33.000 Yeah.
00:52:34.000 Quebec is wicked.
00:52:35.000 Montreal is fantastic.
00:52:37.000 Oh, the Canadians are the nicest people in the world.
00:52:39.000 You know, that's the other short list place that I would move to.
00:52:42.000 Vancouver?
00:52:42.000 You ever been to Vancouver?
00:52:43.000 We went there for one night.
00:52:44.000 God damn, that place is awesome.
00:52:45.000 Is it?
00:52:46.000 Amazing.
00:52:47.000 So, another city that I really thought about moving there in 2004 after Bush won re-election.
00:52:55.000 I really thought about moving.
00:52:57.000 I was like, everybody's so fucking crazy, he won again.
00:52:59.000 Like, how could he win?
00:53:00.000 How the fuck did that guy win after all this nonsense that everybody knows about him?
00:53:04.000 This crazy fake war that they dragged us into.
00:53:07.000 Real war under fake pretenses.
00:53:09.000 But I was like, this country's going to turn into some banana fucking republic police state.
00:53:15.000 We've got to get out of here.
00:53:16.000 For us living in Australia, I mean, it's very much a Canada.
00:53:19.000 It's very relaxed.
00:53:21.000 It's almost a little bit too fortunate.
00:53:23.000 And I had a friend move here because he just said it's really easy in Australia to be middle class, but it's very difficult to make a lot of money and be upper class.
00:53:32.000 America just has that kind of...
00:53:34.000 The ability to move up.
00:53:37.000 There's a bit of romance here.
00:53:38.000 Right, yeah.
00:53:39.000 Maybe you don't see it.
00:53:40.000 It's for us we see it.
00:53:41.000 No, I can imagine.
00:53:42.000 Yeah, I can see that.
00:53:43.000 The caste system and the class system that exists in England exists in a lot of other places in the world.
00:53:50.000 England's bad.
00:53:50.000 England's really bad.
00:53:51.000 Is it?
00:53:51.000 We went to Manchester and it was a bunch of...
00:53:55.000 Kids walking around with babies because they give them a house if you have a kid.
00:54:00.000 So there's 16-year-old girls everywhere with baby pushing.
00:54:06.000 Because of socialized society, socialization.
00:54:09.000 It's pretty funny to watch.
00:54:11.000 Just young chicks everywhere with kids.
00:54:14.000 And red hair.
00:54:14.000 That's weird.
00:54:15.000 I didn't know that.
00:54:16.000 That wasn't magic.
00:54:17.000 Our family's there as well.
00:54:19.000 Socialist ideas, I mean, there's good things to it, like healthcare.
00:54:23.000 I really think that's one of the big problems that we have in America.
00:54:26.000 Australia's great.
00:54:27.000 The way they're fixing that in America is like fucking up even more.
00:54:31.000 Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act has got so much.
00:54:35.000 So many people are angry about it.
00:54:37.000 But I think that the principle behind public health care should be that that's like one of the first things that a government takes care of.
00:54:44.000 First things that a society, a civilization takes care of.
00:54:47.000 What should everybody have?
00:54:48.000 Well, everybody should have access to healthcare.
00:54:50.000 It should be one of the first things.
00:54:52.000 It shouldn't be that everyone has to go buy it, though, that they force you to go buy it.
00:54:57.000 It's this weird sort of, you know, we have the money to start wars and finance these overseas campaigns, but we don't have enough money to take care of the health Of the citizens based on the tax revenue that we generate.
00:55:11.000 And I think that's just crazy.
00:55:12.000 Well, you guys have to keep crap jobs just to keep your health care, right?
00:55:16.000 Many people do.
00:55:17.000 Yeah, many people take and keep jobs just specifically for their health care.
00:55:21.000 He takes advantage of the health care system in Australia, that's for sure.
00:55:23.000 Yeah, I bet you do.
00:55:24.000 Our premiums in the whole of Australia have gone up because of me.
00:55:27.000 Because of your fucking bull riding.
00:55:28.000 So back to the thing.
00:55:30.000 So you...
00:55:32.000 You have all these fucking concussions.
00:55:35.000 Four, three big ones.
00:55:36.000 Three, three out cold from motorcycle riding.
00:55:39.000 Yeah.
00:55:40.000 And you decided to go into Muay Thai.
00:55:42.000 Yeah.
00:55:43.000 Tell them what you wanted to do in between then and why you got into Muay Thai.
00:55:47.000 So basically I decided to join Israeli Army.
00:55:52.000 We've got family over there as well and the school I went to, some of them decided to go over there.
00:55:57.000 I was dating an Israeli girl as well.
00:55:59.000 I thought I'd go to Israeli Army when I was 18. I thought I'd go join and it would be a good experience because my dad was the paratrooper dog unit in South Africa.
00:56:09.000 So I was like, hell yeah, why not?
00:56:12.000 This is the brains over here.
00:56:14.000 This is the brawn.
00:56:15.000 Sort of.
00:56:16.000 The thing is, is this girl's mom is convincing him to go to the Israeli army, romance this, and Israel is very romantic, you know?
00:56:24.000 And meanwhile, she's moved to Australia so her daughter doesn't have to go to the fucking army.
00:56:28.000 Yeah, true.
00:56:28.000 She's convincing.
00:56:29.000 I thought, this chick's going to marry me for sure if I go to the army.
00:56:32.000 It's like three years.
00:56:34.000 So how do you join the Israeli army when you're living in Australia and you're an Australian citizen born in South Africa?
00:56:39.000 It's voluntary.
00:56:41.000 It's voluntary.
00:56:42.000 So they'll take anybody?
00:56:44.000 No, if you're from a Jewish background, it's voluntary and you can join the Israeli army.
00:56:50.000 So you're from a Jewish background, that's all you needed?
00:56:52.000 That's correct.
00:56:52.000 That's all you needed.
00:56:53.000 That's all you needed.
00:56:54.000 Wow.
00:56:54.000 And then you get free university.
00:56:56.000 Oh, really?
00:56:57.000 It's after three years of pretty active duty.
00:57:01.000 So, you go over there, you're 18, you join the Israeli army.
00:57:04.000 I didn't quite make it there, so I told my parents and my dad was...
00:57:07.000 You didn't tell your parents, that's the whole point of the story.
00:57:09.000 I told them in New Zealand about three days before I was going.
00:57:13.000 Why did you tell them?
00:57:15.000 Oh, because I'm terrified of my dad.
00:57:18.000 He's like the nicest guy ever too, which is funny.
00:57:20.000 I don't know why he said that.
00:57:22.000 Yeah, and they're like, no, you're not going.
00:57:23.000 Get me a big guilt trip.
00:57:24.000 I cancelled it.
00:57:25.000 I had a plane ticket.
00:57:25.000 I'm like, well, screw this.
00:57:27.000 Leave it already.
00:57:28.000 I mean, he's a couple years older than me.
00:57:29.000 He's like, screw this.
00:57:30.000 I'm going to go to Thailand.
00:57:31.000 They're on the same ticket.
00:57:32.000 My parents are like, you're going to Thailand?
00:57:34.000 We're paying for him to go with you.
00:57:35.000 I went as a chaperone.
00:57:36.000 Yeah.
00:57:37.000 All expenses paid.
00:57:38.000 First night we arrived there, went straight to 7-Eleven, got a massive bottle of Samsung.
00:57:43.000 It's Thai whiskey.
00:57:44.000 And just got absolutely drunk off my head on Kosan Road, Bangkok, which is like a bad area.
00:57:51.000 Well, it's not a bad...
00:57:52.000 It's a touristy, trashy tourist area.
00:57:55.000 It's like the Vegas trip.
00:57:57.000 Yeah, but friendlier, you know.
00:57:58.000 It's a bunch of kind of...
00:57:59.000 Friendlier than the Vegas trip.
00:58:00.000 Well, look, it's basically backpackers, central.
00:58:06.000 Everybody's very friendly because they're usually straight out of school and they're free and they're wearing their fisherman pants and drinking and smoking cigarettes.
00:58:13.000 Going there just for vacation.
00:58:15.000 It's gross.
00:58:17.000 It's lovely.
00:58:18.000 But you're not alone.
00:58:19.000 There's probably a bunch of other people drunk like that too.
00:58:21.000 Well, they got him drunk.
00:58:22.000 Yeah.
00:58:23.000 The ironic thing is he got drunk on the corner with a homeless Israeli guy.
00:58:27.000 Yeah.
00:58:28.000 That was the funniest part of it.
00:58:29.000 A lot of Israelis.
00:58:31.000 That's hilarious.
00:58:32.000 Yeah, so...
00:58:33.000 And then, ever since then, I was like, man, I love this fighting business.
00:58:36.000 Like, I was already boxing since I was young.
00:58:39.000 Lee was doing jiu-jitsu, obviously.
00:58:40.000 I looked up to him.
00:58:41.000 Well, I was doing Muay Thai and thought I was good at it, and then he got ten times better than me.
00:58:45.000 Yeah, I was like, screw this, man.
00:58:45.000 I'm just going to live here.
00:58:47.000 And just kind of kept going back and loved living there.
00:58:50.000 What was it that, like, forced you to, like, make that decision?
00:58:55.000 Like, what...
00:58:57.000 What triggered in your mind to like, okay, now I'm a Muay Thai fighter?
00:59:00.000 Yeah, look, I mean, at school, I didn't so much struggle at school, but, you know, I have ADD and ADD. I think everybody does.
00:59:10.000 It's even remotely interesting.
00:59:11.000 Yeah.
00:59:12.000 Yeah.
00:59:13.000 And they just struggled.
00:59:14.000 I thought, you know, like, I want to be something good.
00:59:17.000 And Muay Thai wasn't established in Australia yet.
00:59:20.000 Like, there was no...
00:59:21.000 Wayne Parr was still very good, but he's still in New South Wales.
00:59:24.000 There's a video on the thread on the underground.
00:59:26.000 I mean, on a message board of him fighting.
00:59:29.000 Pull it up.
00:59:30.000 So we could put it on while we're talking.
00:59:32.000 Of me fighting?
00:59:33.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:59:34.000 There's a video of you fighting on my message board.
00:59:35.000 Is this my highlight?
00:59:37.000 It is a world championship title fight.
00:59:40.000 That's the one he got.
00:59:40.000 I wanted to ask him about that, actually.
00:59:42.000 That was the second time in his whole career he got knocked out.
00:59:45.000 I wanted to ask him what it's like to actually watch yourself.
00:59:48.000 Yeah, no, I've watched this a few times.
00:59:49.000 Who were you fighting there?
00:59:50.000 That's Sonny Evananthi from New Zealand.
00:59:52.000 A really good fighter.
00:59:54.000 This was actually, I still get told to this day, some of people's favorite fights because we kept dropping each other in it.
01:00:02.000 There's my coach, Nick Stone.
01:00:06.000 Yeah, I just didn't have a good...
01:00:07.000 I had a good training camp for it.
01:00:09.000 I just, you know, I was kind of...
01:00:11.000 Oh, I wouldn't go that far.
01:00:12.000 Look, it's...
01:00:13.000 I was getting...
01:00:14.000 I had too many coaches, whereas I should have had one that overlooked everything.
01:00:19.000 Were you getting contradictory information?
01:00:21.000 Is that what it is?
01:00:22.000 We didn't really.
01:00:23.000 Like, the problem was with Muay Thai in Australia.
01:00:24.000 I mean, he's got a coach, Nick Stone, who's a brilliant coach, but it's...
01:00:27.000 You know, we had a bit of boxing, a little bit of nutrition, a bit of this, a bit of that, and it wasn't how we coach our students.
01:00:34.000 It was just basically do a little bit of boxing, a little bit of running, wish for the best.
01:00:39.000 Like, it wasn't...
01:00:41.000 You weren't totally organized, is that what you're saying?
01:00:43.000 Yeah, you know, like when I was going back and forth between Thailand, so you know, the Thai's like, no, no, no, you kick like this, and you come back to Australia, and I go, fuck this guy.
01:00:51.000 What was the difference between the way the Thai's told you to kick and the Australians told you to kick?
01:00:55.000 Look, the Thai's are more dominant in clinch, elbows, knees, and kicks, especially clinch, which is what I love the most about Muay Thai.
01:01:02.000 It's my favorite thing.
01:01:03.000 Um...
01:01:05.000 Whereas, Australia, you generally find, like, Sonny Van Anthe, I'm just watching the video now, he's very well known for his hands.
01:01:12.000 So, in my whole career, I only took about 12 to 13 hits to my head in all my fights.
01:01:16.000 Really?
01:01:17.000 So, I wasn't someone, if you watch, I don't get hit much.
01:01:19.000 12 to 13 hits ever to your head?
01:01:21.000 How's that possible?
01:01:22.000 How many fights did you have?
01:01:23.000 34?
01:01:24.000 Yeah.
01:01:25.000 34 fights and only 12 to 13 hits to the head?
01:01:27.000 I like to stand outside.
01:01:28.000 When you say that, you mean?
01:01:30.000 Hard hits.
01:01:30.000 Hard hits.
01:01:31.000 You know, like dancing.
01:01:32.000 Not jabs and stuff.
01:01:34.000 Yeah.
01:01:34.000 Right.
01:01:34.000 But it just gets really exciting in round two.
01:01:37.000 Do you think that Muay Thai fighters take much less damage than boxers per se?
01:01:43.000 It depends.
01:01:44.000 You know, like I'm reading a lot of the articles in the MMA forums and stuff and there's guys coming out saying the damage is getting done in the training.
01:01:52.000 It's not getting done in the cage.
01:01:53.000 Right.
01:01:54.000 For me, my training in Thailand, we don't even really spy.
01:01:56.000 We do a lot of clinch, a bit of play sparring, a lot of pad work, a lot of ground work.
01:02:01.000 Well, they have a down more.
01:02:02.000 You know what my opinion is about MMA sparring?
01:02:05.000 The real problem is that MMA in America, and MMA as a sport in general, is still very young.
01:02:12.000 It's a very young sport.
01:02:14.000 And there is a lot of people that got into MMA that really did not know how to properly train for striking.
01:02:22.000 Properly train as far as what kind of damage you do long term if you spar really fucking hard all the time.
01:02:29.000 Yeah.
01:02:30.000 But boxers always have had a history of, you know, gym wars and stuff with Thai's.
01:02:35.000 Yeah.
01:02:35.000 See, the thing is, like, when Americans went to Thailand, they saw the Thai's training and they copied it and brought it back.
01:02:41.000 And this happened in Australia a lot.
01:02:43.000 It's one of those fights you can't stop watching when you start.
01:02:45.000 That's because I know what's going to happen.
01:02:47.000 Yeah, it's sick.
01:02:48.000 Yeah.
01:02:49.000 The problem is that they watch the Thais do it and this is like anything, when you go overseas, you do yoga, you do Muay Thai, whatever art you're doing, cooking, whatever it is, right?
01:02:57.000 And they're watching the Thais do it and the Thais go pads, bag work, Clinch, and that's it.
01:03:03.000 So the Americans would come back, and Australians come back and copy that, but they forget that Thai's don't spar for one reason.
01:03:08.000 They fight every weekend.
01:03:09.000 Right.
01:03:10.000 You know, so from a young kid.
01:03:12.000 So they don't spar.
01:03:12.000 Why would they spar?
01:03:13.000 They fight.
01:03:14.000 Right, right.
01:03:15.000 So, I mean, I think, like, that was lacking, and clinch is really lacking in Western countries, but...
01:03:23.000 Ties don't, if you watch them fight, have you been to Thailand, Joe?
01:03:25.000 No.
01:03:26.000 When you watch them fight, around the fourth round, if one guy's won, they stop fighting in the fifth round so that they can fight next week.
01:03:32.000 They know who's won already.
01:03:33.000 You know, the first round, they don't go hard.
01:03:36.000 They don't throw elbows for the first round normally.
01:03:38.000 Yeah.
01:03:38.000 There's a lot of that sort of stuff in Thailand.
01:03:40.000 And they go slow in the first round.
01:03:42.000 Is that because they also want to place bets?
01:03:44.000 There's bets.
01:03:45.000 There's a big part of it.
01:03:45.000 Adrenaline.
01:03:46.000 That schnoz.
01:03:47.000 Oof.
01:03:48.000 Adrenaline?
01:03:48.000 Well, because the adrenaline would take a bit to kick in, like to calm down and find your rhythm.
01:03:54.000 Look, the problem with Thai boxing is he's been, how many times have you been?
01:03:58.000 26. 26 times.
01:04:00.000 I've been about 16, 17. It was on about our 10th trip that a Thai actually explained the rules to us.
01:04:07.000 Oh yeah, I remember.
01:04:07.000 Saxon.
01:04:08.000 Yeah, Saxon, right?
01:04:10.000 Saxon, Janjira?
01:04:11.000 No, I wish.
01:04:12.000 But no, he's an American.
01:04:14.000 Saxon is the name of the gym.
01:04:16.000 Saxon's a guy.
01:04:17.000 He beat, you know, Sumcor?
01:04:19.000 Sumcor is like the best kicker in Thailand.
01:04:22.000 How did he become the best kicker in Thailand?
01:04:25.000 Oh, Sumcor.
01:04:26.000 He was kind of known for a while.
01:04:28.000 But this guy explained the rules to us and we're thinking, Jesus.
01:04:32.000 Beautiful knockdown.
01:04:35.000 And by the way, that was not illegal for people that actually lived in Thailand and kept saying it was illegal.
01:04:39.000 Why was it illegal?
01:04:40.000 As long as you throw the kick before they're down.
01:04:43.000 Sometimes they land on the ropes.
01:04:44.000 You can still hit them as long as they don't hit the floor.
01:04:48.000 Oh, I see.
01:04:48.000 There's all these critics out there.
01:04:50.000 But what was the point of this?
01:04:51.000 He knocks me down.
01:04:53.000 Thai boxing, one of the misunderstandings people don't understand is like, you know, the Thai is they won't fight in the fifth round.
01:04:59.000 They won't use, you know, elbows usually in the first couple.
01:05:02.000 So they don't cut each other so they can fight next week.
01:05:04.000 And then the punch in the back of the head.
01:05:05.000 So that was illegal.
01:05:06.000 So I had a brain hemorrhage from this fight.
01:05:08.000 Really?
01:05:09.000 Yeah, so it was one shot to the back of the head.
01:05:11.000 So he hit you from the back of the head while you're down.
01:05:14.000 Yeah, you were down.
01:05:15.000 Totally.
01:05:16.000 So now I got a little bit dirty.
01:05:17.000 It happens again.
01:05:19.000 Wow.
01:05:20.000 So I had a brain hemorrhage.
01:05:21.000 I remember going to the hospital for a while.
01:05:24.000 And this was the fight that convinced you to stop fighting?
01:05:26.000 No, I had one or two fights after this.
01:05:30.000 Yeah, no big deal.
01:05:31.000 Just a brain hemorrhage.
01:05:32.000 Yeah, one or two fights after.
01:05:33.000 How did they have to drain your brain?
01:05:35.000 No.
01:05:35.000 No, it was only a small bleed, but it was enough to...
01:05:38.000 Yeah, you look like you're certainly wobbly here.
01:05:42.000 I keep going.
01:05:43.000 Damn.
01:05:44.000 The thing about the fight is, man, it didn't have to be this way.
01:05:47.000 If you didn't get hit on the back of the head, it wouldn't have been dangerous.
01:05:50.000 You know what I mean?
01:05:52.000 Right.
01:05:52.000 I hate saying, like when people hear us say that, the sport of Muay Thai is generally quite safe compared to boxing or rugby.
01:06:03.000 Rugby's a horrible sport.
01:06:04.000 I mean, a lovely sport.
01:06:05.000 But how is it safe when you're dealing with head kicks and shins and knees?
01:06:09.000 I mean, how many head shots have you seen this time?
01:06:11.000 Oh, you dropped him with a head kick.
01:06:12.000 This is a crazy fight, man.
01:06:13.000 Back and forth.
01:06:14.000 Holy shit.
01:06:15.000 To get dropped like that and get punched in the head while you're down, then get punched in the head again and dropped, and then drop him with a head kick.
01:06:21.000 And then I think he punched you in the back of the head again.
01:06:23.000 But it was only when I kind of went down.
01:06:26.000 Also, I think this fight had changed to Southpaw.
01:06:28.000 That's kind of one of my later fights would change to Southpaw.
01:06:32.000 It's wild.
01:06:34.000 So, the difference in the way the Thais fight, being that they fight almost every weekend, and that they train very differently, but even their sparring, they don't go at it full blast.
01:06:46.000 Like, the Dutch, who don't fight as much as the Thais, they throw hard kicks to the legs and to the bodies, but they throw lighter punches to the head.
01:06:53.000 Jesus, we were in Holland about a year ago training at, well, I won't say which gym, but Man, those dudes were punching each other's heads through the wall.
01:07:02.000 Really?
01:07:02.000 Oh man, especially when you had...
01:07:04.000 What gym?
01:07:04.000 I was Majiro.
01:07:05.000 Yeah, Majiro gym's crazy.
01:07:07.000 That's a great gym.
01:07:08.000 By the way, if you have a go there, have you been there?
01:07:10.000 No.
01:07:11.000 Well, there used to be a Majiro gym in Encino.
01:07:13.000 There's a guy Shuki from Majiro gym in Holland came to America.
01:07:18.000 He was here for a while.
01:07:18.000 He's an Israeli as well.
01:07:20.000 He went back to Israel though.
01:07:21.000 Well, anyway, go to the locker room and just be prepared to keep your eyes facing straight because there's group showers and everybody's naked guys and girls talking and chatting after training.
01:07:30.000 We weren't ready for that.
01:07:32.000 Why wouldn't you be ready for that?
01:07:33.000 We're just sitting down in someone's church next to you.
01:07:36.000 No, no, the guys and girls shower together and walk around.
01:07:39.000 That's great.
01:07:40.000 Beautiful.
01:07:40.000 Back to the Garden of Eden.
01:07:42.000 Yeah.
01:07:43.000 We weren't ready for it.
01:07:44.000 Wow.
01:07:45.000 That's cool.
01:07:47.000 So...
01:07:47.000 Jeez, they kill each other in training, though.
01:07:49.000 So, how did you decide, though?
01:07:51.000 Like...
01:07:52.000 That you were okay doing this.
01:07:54.000 That was a beautiful head kick, man.
01:07:56.000 How did you decide that you were okay doing this after, like, retiring from motorcycle racing because of concussions?
01:08:01.000 I mean, you weren't worried about these concussions like this?
01:08:04.000 That's some bullshit right there.
01:08:05.000 Like, I hate you on it.
01:08:06.000 That should have been the end of the fight.
01:08:08.000 Yeah, I kept going.
01:08:09.000 There's another one coming up.
01:08:10.000 But look, I can't take it away from this guy to get off topic because Sonny is a top fighter.
01:08:15.000 Oh, he definitely is, but he's also a dirty bitch.
01:08:18.000 I'm not going to lie, Dylan actually has a lot of respect for him.
01:08:21.000 I woke up for about three months after this fight dreaming about strangling him.
01:08:24.000 Oh, that was the first fight my mom watched as well.
01:08:26.000 But he apparently is a lovely guy.
01:08:27.000 Everyone tells me.
01:08:28.000 He just gets amped up.
01:08:29.000 Every morning I woke up dreaming.
01:08:31.000 I was just like squeezing his back.
01:08:32.000 I like how you hit him when he was down too.
01:08:34.000 Payback, bitch!
01:08:35.000 Yeah.
01:08:37.000 That's a crazy fight, man.
01:08:39.000 That's a crazy fight.
01:08:40.000 But this is the first time you really got hurt in your whole career.
01:08:42.000 Yeah.
01:08:43.000 I got knocked out in Jamaica on a big show, but I was so dehydrated.
01:08:48.000 We're like, oh yeah, my coach says, are you going to be 135 pounds?
01:08:51.000 I'm like, oh yeah, 62 kilograms.
01:08:53.000 I get there, and Steve McKinnon, who's one of my coaches as well, he's a heavyweight.
01:08:59.000 I'm thinking, you know, 135 pounds, it's probably around 61, 62, didn't think about it.
01:09:04.000 I get there, I'm like, shit, man, I've got to cut like...
01:09:07.000 Where did you end up?
01:09:08.000 58 kilos.
01:09:08.000 I was like 58.7 or something.
01:09:10.000 I had to get down.
01:09:11.000 I don't even know what the weight was.
01:09:12.000 I was like 64 kilograms in Jamaica.
01:09:15.000 Wow.
01:09:16.000 So what is that in pounds?
01:09:17.000 How many kilos was you talking about?
01:09:19.000 You're talking 8 kilos?
01:09:21.000 You were 8 kilos off?
01:09:23.000 No, I was about...
01:09:24.000 Five or six.
01:09:25.000 Six, seven.
01:09:26.000 So let's say six.
01:09:27.000 So six is 2.2 pounds per.
01:09:30.000 It would be 120 pounds.
01:09:31.000 Jesus Christ.
01:09:32.000 And back then, we didn't know many of the cutting methods.
01:09:35.000 It would sit in the sauna for five hours.
01:09:37.000 I was saying about this, and I'm sure it's the same for you with everything you do.
01:09:42.000 We now, the way we coach, how we didn't know back then or how we wanted to be coached, so we just didn't know.
01:09:49.000 So he'd just go jump in a sauna suit, and that's what we did.
01:09:53.000 You just did it.
01:09:54.000 Yeah, there was a lot of really bad weight cutting in the UFC back in the day.
01:09:58.000 I used to cut weight to fight in Taekwondo tournaments.
01:10:00.000 I'd cut the day of.
01:10:02.000 I would get down to 140 pounds the day of the fight.
01:10:07.000 16, 17. Yeah, it was terrible for you.
01:10:09.000 Very dangerous.
01:10:10.000 That was the thing about boxing.
01:10:11.000 While they changed it to weigh-ins the day before the fight, because they give the fighter a chance to rehydrate, the big issue was...
01:10:20.000 Brain injuries to a dehydrated fighter are more substantial.
01:10:24.000 Yeah, of course.
01:10:24.000 They found out that almost all the deaths in boxing came outside of the heavyweight division.
01:10:28.000 In the heavyweight division, there was no deaths.
01:10:30.000 Yeah.
01:10:31.000 That's one of the things they attributed to.
01:10:33.000 This is not cool to watch.
01:10:34.000 It's one of those fights.
01:10:35.000 It'd be the greatest fight ever if you weren't the guy's brother.
01:10:37.000 Dude, I made the best highlight of this.
01:10:39.000 It was just me hitting him.
01:10:40.000 We don't have to watch it.
01:10:41.000 No, no, it's cool.
01:10:42.000 You can keep going because I want to ask him a question at the end.
01:10:46.000 But, yeah, there's a theory now they're saying that, and I was saying to one of my guys, because we just went to the UFC and he cut about five pounds, and everyone keeps saying, you need to drop down a weight division, right?
01:10:56.000 Yeah, this is not cool.
01:10:57.000 That's it, man.
01:10:58.000 That was not cool.
01:11:00.000 This is the end of the fight.
01:11:01.000 That was the back of the head shot again.
01:11:03.000 Alright, we can kill it.
01:11:05.000 You can watch it if you want.
01:11:06.000 That's alright.
01:11:08.000 So, you fought two times more after that.
01:11:10.000 How many MMA fights, or excuse me, Muay Thai fights did you have total?
01:11:14.000 I had a couple of like...
01:11:17.000 You know, we kept my record down because I was fighting in Thailand a lot.
01:11:20.000 So if there was guys, I've never been passed round two in Thailand in 16, 17 fights ever.
01:11:27.000 So all up, we found a lot of tapes from about 30, 34. Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
01:11:33.000 But they started getting dodgy towards the end.
01:11:35.000 Yeah, I started fighting bigger ties, and there's some good ones on YouTube of me fighting his tie.
01:11:40.000 I think I dropped him like 15 times with elbows.
01:11:44.000 I just kept dropping.
01:11:45.000 Those guys just kept getting back up.
01:11:46.000 So, I don't know.
01:11:47.000 It didn't bother me fighting in Thailand.
01:11:49.000 You've got little kids, eight-year-olds, that are fighting, and it makes you feel...
01:11:53.000 In Australia, when I fought, it's like you go backstage, you've got to rev yourself up.
01:11:57.000 You've got all your friends there.
01:11:58.000 You know, it's the crowd.
01:11:59.000 It's the music.
01:12:00.000 Thailand, there's like eight, nine, 10, 15-year-olds all sitting in the back with their mummies, taping their hands.
01:12:06.000 You watch them fight.
01:12:07.000 They tape their own hands.
01:12:08.000 That's right, yeah.
01:12:09.000 Yeah, you know, they fight for like 15 minutes.
01:12:11.000 You're like, oh, this isn't so bad, you know?
01:12:13.000 So it's a more relaxed environment, so you feel like easier going into the fight?
01:12:17.000 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
01:12:18.000 You've got the music playing as well.
01:12:19.000 And I was normally in the main event, being like the Westerner.
01:12:22.000 And I started fighting some really good tyres.
01:12:24.000 It started becoming really good fun.
01:12:25.000 They started towards the end getting a little bit dodgy.
01:12:27.000 Because tyres are very proud people.
01:12:29.000 And they're very similar to Japanese like that.
01:12:31.000 And they started kind of slipping in the bigger dudes.
01:12:34.000 There was one fight actually.
01:12:36.000 The one that scared me where he was actually winning.
01:12:39.000 And you threw him and he just got his shoulder.
01:12:41.000 But it was a bit scary until then.
01:12:43.000 I thought he kicked him in the head.
01:12:44.000 He was a big boy.
01:12:45.000 So when you say bigger dudes, you mean like the wrong weight class?
01:12:48.000 Like thick legs.
01:12:49.000 They're outside of your weight class?
01:12:50.000 Like ringers?
01:12:51.000 Oh.
01:12:51.000 Like ringers after a while?
01:12:53.000 Were they bigger than you?
01:12:54.000 Thicker legs.
01:12:55.000 They're trying to set you up?
01:12:57.000 They didn't really weigh you, did they?
01:12:59.000 No, we didn't really weigh in.
01:13:01.000 Most of them were either my weight or heavier.
01:13:04.000 Earlier on, they used to weigh me, but later on, they just kind of were about my size or bigger, which I was okay with.
01:13:12.000 It was still good fun.
01:13:13.000 Wow.
01:13:14.000 So, you fought over there for many years, and were you there when the tsunami hit?
01:13:20.000 Yeah, so...
01:13:21.000 Excuse me.
01:13:23.000 Basically...
01:13:24.000 The story of this, I don't think I've even written this online, but basically, we were in Copenhagen, so we're actually the other side of Thailand.
01:13:33.000 And...
01:13:35.000 My brother and I are in Copenhagen, and I was still staying there for quite a while, having some flights.
01:13:39.000 And my brother's like, listen, man, I'm going back to Sydney, cool.
01:13:42.000 Say a couple of bit of money, I'll make you a suite.
01:13:44.000 Like I had so much in my bank.
01:13:46.000 I was like 20. And he went and took it, and he entered the PIN card wrong.
01:13:50.000 So he entered the pin number wrong when he put the card in.
01:13:54.000 And I was like, great.
01:13:55.000 So it swallowed my card.
01:13:56.000 I was like, oh, fucking great.
01:13:57.000 So I'm stuck here in Copenhagen, which is like the full moon party, like crazy party island.
01:14:02.000 And I had to wait like four days to get a replacement card.
01:14:06.000 In that time...
01:14:07.000 My friend and I had two doctors that lived in Melbourne, Glenn and Tom, and I'd met them a few times in Thailand.
01:14:12.000 I said, listen, you guys go to Phi Phi Island.
01:14:14.000 You go to the other side of Thailand where we wanted to spend New Year's and Christmas.
01:14:19.000 And I said to him, well, you guys go there and I'll meet you over there.
01:14:22.000 I've got to wait for my replacement card.
01:14:23.000 I was still there for a couple more weeks.
01:14:26.000 Sorry, a couple more months in Thailand.
01:14:28.000 So they went over there and then the tsunami hit.
01:14:30.000 So in a way, I kind of missed the tsunami because of my brother.
01:14:34.000 So I'm like, okay, well...
01:14:36.000 Being a moron.
01:14:37.000 Like, screw this.
01:14:37.000 I'm going to go look for them.
01:14:38.000 And we didn't know what actually happened because the media is often run, you know, by governments and we didn't really know what was going on.
01:14:46.000 So we heard, oh, there's a bit of a wave.
01:14:48.000 And, yeah, basically we heard there's a bit of a wave and, you know, I thought, oh, we'll try to help out.
01:14:52.000 I'll go look for my mate.
01:14:54.000 So I got a friend.
01:14:56.000 To write in Thai saying I'm head of the Australian Search and Rescue.
01:15:00.000 So I went over there with another South African friend who I'd met, who is now a very good friend of mine.
01:15:05.000 And they're like, okay, cool.
01:15:06.000 You guys are in charge of picking up the bodies.
01:15:08.000 We're like, yeah, this is just fucking great.
01:15:10.000 And we got more involved.
01:15:12.000 And, you know, there was 1,500 bodies on PP Island.
01:15:15.000 We didn't carry all of them.
01:15:16.000 There was just a couple of volunteers and stuff.
01:15:19.000 Wow.
01:15:20.000 Wow.
01:15:20.000 And then after a couple of weeks, we're like, well, we tried to do a few other things.
01:15:25.000 You know, we, you know, those things, they wanted us to start cleaning up because there's a lot of disease on the island.
01:15:31.000 Because of the bodies?
01:15:32.000 Because of the bodies.
01:15:33.000 And then the animals started eating the bodies as well.
01:15:35.000 Oh, God.
01:15:36.000 So bodies would be washing up, you know, all the time.
01:15:38.000 What kind of animals?
01:15:41.000 What actually happened during the tsunami was, in Pepe Island, it's flat.
01:15:45.000 You know, it's got two hills on both sides.
01:15:47.000 And the animals must have detected, there's a lot of articles on that on the internet, detected that the snowman was coming in.
01:15:53.000 And they actually all went into the hills.
01:15:55.000 So there was like, you know, dogs, cats, birds, whatever.
01:16:00.000 There was a goat we found running around, like loose.
01:16:02.000 I don't know what the hell it was doing.
01:16:05.000 They started in the bodies and then they got sick as well.
01:16:08.000 It's only a small island.
01:16:10.000 How big a cross is it?
01:16:12.000 You can walk from one side to the other.
01:16:14.000 It's not that big.
01:16:16.000 And then I was like, oh shit, I better just keep looking for my friends.
01:16:19.000 So we went through the bodies, went through the pictures in the morgue, went to the morgue.
01:16:23.000 Meanwhile, these two monkeys, they're both...
01:16:26.000 They're both doctors now, actually.
01:16:28.000 Had gone across to PPR, and it's a bit of a trip, you know, like ferry, bus ferry.
01:16:33.000 Wait a minute.
01:16:33.000 Two monkeys?
01:16:34.000 No, no.
01:16:34.000 They're my two friends.
01:16:35.000 Okay.
01:16:37.000 Right.
01:16:37.000 You don't mean really monkeys.
01:16:39.000 No.
01:16:39.000 I was like, monkeys became dogs?
01:16:41.000 No, no.
01:16:43.000 And basically, they met some girls on the bus across...
01:16:47.000 And they just stayed in a hotel and I don't know what the hell they were doing.
01:16:50.000 So I'm looking for them in the tsunami, you know, pick up bodies and do all types of crazy things we probably shouldn't have.
01:16:56.000 And they were just on the mainland hanging out with these two girls.
01:17:01.000 So I went all the way there to find them and they were just chilling out.
01:17:05.000 But, you know, obviously I suffered a lot of, not so much depression, but more so post-traumatic stress after I was only 20, 21. Yeah, and suffered a lot of post-traumatic stress and, you know, it ain't that much.
01:17:19.000 Just from the bodies.
01:17:21.000 Well, PTSD wasn't really, like, talked about as much at that stage.
01:17:25.000 Yeah.
01:17:25.000 You know, I felt like I was a warrior.
01:17:27.000 I was like, oh, we better not talk about this.
01:17:29.000 To be fair, my mom was like, don't even think about going over there.
01:17:31.000 And I was like, yeah, hell no.
01:17:33.000 You're like, no, mom, don't worry about it.
01:17:34.000 Don't worry about it, yeah.
01:17:35.000 Went straight over there.
01:17:36.000 And we had some cool experience.
01:17:37.000 Like, every day I could write a book on the things that we did and what happened.
01:17:41.000 Well, that's the idea, actually.
01:17:43.000 When you say post-traumatic stress, specifically, what was the feeling?
01:17:50.000 What was the issue that you had from seeing all that horrific shit?
01:17:56.000 Actually, what happened when I came back, my parents split the day I got back from the tsunami.
01:18:01.000 They split and my brother and I were just in the house alone.
01:18:04.000 I don't know.
01:18:06.000 Was it bad boys too?
01:18:08.000 It's your favorite movie.
01:18:09.000 Yeah, I love Bad Boys 2, man.
01:18:11.000 Love that movie.
01:18:12.000 Wow, you really did get hit in the head a lot.
01:18:15.000 It's cool, man.
01:18:16.000 Yeah, Bad Boys 2 and, you know, we'd see the bodies in it.
01:18:19.000 I still get why you like that movie so much.
01:18:21.000 Sick, man.
01:18:22.000 Will Smith.
01:18:22.000 So, Bad Boys 2, what would happen?
01:18:24.000 There was a scene with the morgues and stuff like that and bodies and, yeah, like a little bit of a flashback and, yeah.
01:18:31.000 I don't know.
01:18:32.000 It was just kind of hard.
01:18:33.000 It wasn't something I talked about.
01:18:34.000 It wasn't something I was proud of.
01:18:35.000 I was like, oh man, I put everyone out.
01:18:37.000 You know, I probably shouldn't have done that.
01:18:39.000 And yeah, a bit of guilt as well.
01:18:41.000 Well, you only told me some of the stories today.
01:18:43.000 Yeah, quite recently.
01:18:43.000 I haven't talked to him about it.
01:18:45.000 That's one of the reasons I put the post up because...
01:18:49.000 We're so busy in Sydney, and everything's always moving, moving, moving.
01:18:53.000 We never actually sat down and talked about it.
01:18:55.000 All I know is he had some trouble, you know?
01:18:57.000 And we see each other every day, you know, but just...
01:18:59.000 It's never just come up in conversation, you know?
01:19:02.000 So today on the way here, we were talking, and on the plane stuff, we're talking, and I'm like, I've never heard any of these stories.
01:19:06.000 Yeah, some cool stories.
01:19:07.000 You know what I mean?
01:19:08.000 Wow.
01:19:09.000 Yeah, which is strange.
01:19:10.000 It's strange, I guess, but that's what it is.
01:19:12.000 Look, you know, for a 20-year-old, I think it was...
01:19:14.000 It kind of...
01:19:15.000 I grew up very quickly and I went back to Thailand a lot since then.
01:19:20.000 Yeah, it was a cool experience.
01:19:22.000 Later, like now, I've been working for the Koh Samui Rescue Team for about three years now.
01:19:26.000 So I'm the only Westerner that does it.
01:19:28.000 The only idiot?
01:19:29.000 Yeah.
01:19:30.000 What is the rescue team?
01:19:31.000 What is it?
01:19:32.000 So in Koh Samui, they've got private ambulances.
01:19:35.000 And then they got volunteer.
01:19:37.000 And there's a rescue team.
01:19:38.000 So if like a boat flips or there's a car crash or a local's sick or someone dies or there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of bike accidents and stuff.
01:19:45.000 You know, we go collect the bodies or we go...
01:19:47.000 A lot of dumb Westerners.
01:19:48.000 Yeah, we go like patch them up and take them to the hospital.
01:19:50.000 And it's a bit of everything, you know.
01:19:51.000 There's a fire.
01:19:52.000 We're there.
01:19:53.000 Like we're kind of G.I. Joe kind of rescue men.
01:19:56.000 But I'm the only Westerner.
01:19:57.000 So that led to that later on.
01:19:59.000 And I've had some pretty cool experiences for...
01:20:01.000 Three years now, just working a couple of shifts a week with the Thai team.
01:20:05.000 And, you know, one shift, probably the hardest shift I had was last February when I actually decided I'm going to retire.
01:20:12.000 And I called Liam, I said I'm going to retire.
01:20:14.000 And I was like, if I'm going to retire, I don't have to train that much.
01:20:17.000 I spent a lot of time Doing the rescue team and over the full moon party on the island up from us in one shift from 11am till the next day, 11am, there was like 30 accidents we attended.
01:20:28.000 Wow.
01:20:29.000 Yeah, so it was pretty, it was pretty hectic.
01:20:30.000 And I think it published, you know, as well.
01:20:32.000 Yeah, we're not, we're not really allowed to talk about all of it.
01:20:35.000 Um...
01:20:35.000 But most of it's, you know, Westerners, drunk Westerners, just being stupid.
01:20:39.000 I mean, there's a girl, I think her sister is Nicole Fitzgerald, and her younger sister, Kate.
01:20:48.000 And Nicole was on the back of a bike, and I don't know if it was a Western attire, got hit by a truck, and she died.
01:20:54.000 And now I know she promotes safety for riding, and...
01:21:01.000 Transport in the Asian countries because a lot of Australians are dying falling off balconies in Phuket and just stupid stuff.
01:21:09.000 Just being drunk.
01:21:10.000 It's a great place.
01:21:12.000 Thailand's amazing.
01:21:13.000 Make it sound worse.
01:21:14.000 This is the worst part of it.
01:21:16.000 It's an amazing place.
01:21:18.000 But people just go there and it's, you know, the Thais are lovely people, beautiful people, very patriotic, like if they're king, if you don't talk badly about they're king.
01:21:27.000 If you go to a movie...
01:21:28.000 They haven't mentioned they're king.
01:21:29.000 Well, you've been to the movies there, right?
01:21:30.000 What happens?
01:21:31.000 You have to stand up and stand up for the king.
01:21:33.000 Stand up for the king for like 10 minutes.
01:21:34.000 And one Westerner, one idiot, refused to stand up and they just, of course, what happened would happen.
01:21:41.000 You know, like, I don't know what happened exactly.
01:21:43.000 I just know he was taken away, basically.
01:21:45.000 They beat his ass?
01:21:46.000 Yeah.
01:21:47.000 I mean, they're kind people, so I don't know if they beat his ass, but they would have fined him or arrested him, you know?
01:21:53.000 Wow, just for not standing up at the movie theater for the king.
01:21:55.000 I think you get arrested for talking back.
01:21:57.000 It's their country, man.
01:21:58.000 It's their country.
01:21:58.000 Fuck everybody who goes to...
01:22:00.000 You know, like, right now, you go there, and you go to these places, and the key with going overseas...
01:22:07.000 You've traveled quite a lot, of course.
01:22:09.000 We've traveled a lot.
01:22:11.000 When you go to someone's country, you never go to the place where Westerners hang out.
01:22:15.000 I don't want to see Aussies.
01:22:17.000 I don't want to see ties that deal with Aussies.
01:22:19.000 Because the ties that deal with Aussies, they get that red-eyed look.
01:22:23.000 It's just a little bit like...
01:22:25.000 They become jaded.
01:22:28.000 So...
01:22:29.000 It's just like you've got to go to that country and respect it.
01:22:33.000 If you go to Thailand, and you must, it's an amazing place.
01:22:36.000 Don't go to an area where Thais have to deal with Westerners because then you've got to deal with the Thais that have to deal with the Westerners.
01:22:44.000 Hawaii is a part of America.
01:22:46.000 But that's the argument that you always hear about Hawaii, is how they hate Americans, but it's just because they're dealing with douchebags all the time.
01:22:55.000 I mean, imagine the fucking idiots that you have to deal with that are always on vacation, coming from all parts of the world, and they're all drunk, and they're all, you know...
01:23:09.000 I've met people that are Hawaiians in Hawaii that are some of the nicest, kindest, coolest, sweetest people you could ever meet.
01:23:16.000 But then you'll talk to people, oh, Hawaiians hate Americans.
01:23:20.000 Maybe some, maybe for a fucking good reason.
01:23:23.000 Maybe they have to deal with dickheads.
01:23:25.000 Tires hate Israelis.
01:23:28.000 Really?
01:23:29.000 And Israelis, it's a lovely place.
01:23:31.000 Never been to Israel.
01:23:32.000 Imagine Copacabana without crime.
01:23:34.000 Really?
01:23:35.000 That's pretty much what it is.
01:23:36.000 Beautiful, man.
01:23:36.000 Tel Aviv.
01:23:37.000 Beautiful place.
01:23:37.000 No crime?
01:23:38.000 No crime.
01:23:39.000 You've got 18-year-old girls' machine guns on their back.
01:23:43.000 You know, at McDonald's, off duty, you know.
01:23:45.000 Wow.
01:23:45.000 That's an underrated traveling place, but everyone's so scared of the bombs and all that sort of stuff.
01:23:49.000 Right, don't worry about it when you're there.
01:23:51.000 Anyway, the point is, they hate Israelis in Thailand, so we'd go buy a motorbike, which anyone can have.
01:23:56.000 Any girl, Aussie girl who gets off the plane can hire a motorbike, never driven one before.
01:24:01.000 And we go hire one and they say, oh, no, sorry, we can't lend you.
01:24:04.000 And we say, oh, no, we're Australian.
01:24:05.000 They go, oh, okay, we thought you were Israeli.
01:24:07.000 So what the reason is, Israelis are nice people.
01:24:10.000 It's not that.
01:24:11.000 It's just that the ones that go to Thailand are fresh out of the army.
01:24:16.000 So they're crazy.
01:24:17.000 They're just straight out of the army.
01:24:19.000 They've seen all this bad stuff.
01:24:21.000 Thailand, and they just smoke weed and just go crazy.
01:24:24.000 Yeah.
01:24:24.000 They just go crazy, basically.
01:24:26.000 Mushrooms, everything, disrespectful towards the Thais, alcohol, fights, whatever, you know, loud.
01:24:32.000 Because they feel entitled after the army, but, you know, the Thais don't like them.
01:24:36.000 Right.
01:24:36.000 But if you go there, they're nice people.
01:24:37.000 Australians aren't far off at the moment.
01:24:39.000 Australians are bad.
01:24:40.000 The young traveling Australians.
01:24:42.000 The Russians aren't doing so good.
01:24:43.000 So now the Russians have, like, there's a lot of Russians in Koh Samui and the islands in the past...
01:24:49.000 Two years, I've noticed, especially working for the rescue team, I'm intending more and more Russian.
01:24:53.000 I may as well speak Russian.
01:24:55.000 More and more Russian accidents.
01:24:57.000 Our last name is Latvian or Russian, really.
01:25:01.000 We thought it was Russian until about a month ago.
01:25:03.000 We found it was Latvian.
01:25:04.000 We're going to change our haircuts and everything.
01:25:07.000 It sends me a picture of a crew cut.
01:25:10.000 Yeah, but now, you know, when I went to hotels, and I can speak tight, so for me, it's like I can get around it.
01:25:16.000 They see my last name, Reznikov, and they're like, no, no, no, no, we're full.
01:25:19.000 I'm like, are you out of your mind?
01:25:21.000 There's like 10, 300 rooms.
01:25:22.000 There's rooms open, I can see them.
01:25:24.000 And then you speak to them, and they're cool.
01:25:26.000 Once they realize you're Australian.
01:25:28.000 Well, yeah, but if I spoke Thai, they kind of really take you in.
01:25:31.000 Oh, do you speak Thai?
01:25:32.000 It's a bit rusty.
01:25:34.000 He does.
01:25:34.000 He's bloody shy.
01:25:35.000 Every time I say, Dylan, order for us to speak in Thai.
01:25:38.000 No, no, no.
01:25:39.000 My team didn't speak English at all.
01:25:42.000 No one in my rescue team.
01:25:43.000 So sometimes there's misinterpretations about...
01:25:46.000 I didn't interpret things properly.
01:25:48.000 When they speak to me in Thai, they'll be like, go over there and...
01:25:50.000 You know, like I'd drive to like the other side of the island if I was driving the ambulance and some, yeah, not so funny things.
01:25:58.000 But the one thing about Thailand people don't know is that before the tsunami, you couldn't buy property there or businesses unless you were under a Thai name.
01:26:07.000 So you'd marry a Thai woman or a Thai man, which is great.
01:26:09.000 I think that's a good thing that Thailand should be owned by Thais.
01:26:13.000 You know, but after the tsunami, they allowed foreign investment.
01:26:18.000 So if you go to Copepe, which is where the beach was filmed, that's where he did his rescue stuff, it's not recognizable anymore, you know?
01:26:25.000 So anybody can buy a business and property there now.
01:26:28.000 That wasn't like that before the tsunami.
01:26:30.000 It changed a lot because of that?
01:26:31.000 I mean, before that, you've got people who have to go roundabout in circles to set up businesses and brothels and strip bars and stuff like that, you know?
01:26:38.000 Now...
01:26:39.000 Just give them money.
01:26:40.000 Dude, there's Russian strip clubs in the middle of the main...
01:26:43.000 With white people.
01:26:43.000 Yeah, with Russian strippers in the middle of, like, clubbing areas.
01:26:46.000 Yeah.
01:26:47.000 It's crazy.
01:26:47.000 I mean, look, you've got to go.
01:26:48.000 It's an amazing place, and the people are amazing.
01:26:51.000 That small part, you know, of Thailand, like, there's still a lot of untouched areas.
01:26:54.000 Especially up north.
01:26:55.000 It's amazing.
01:26:56.000 Do you think that it's going to change irrevocably because of this, though?
01:27:00.000 Because of allowing Westerners to buy businesses there?
01:27:02.000 Is that going to fuck everything up?
01:27:03.000 Look, I know a lot of expats that live there.
01:27:06.000 A lot of South African expats as well.
01:27:07.000 It's a big expat community.
01:27:09.000 And it's nice there.
01:27:11.000 But like anywhere, like my brother said, you know, there's bad areas, like specific bad areas.
01:27:17.000 Out of a whole island, it's only a small area.
01:27:20.000 So now I don't really go back there anymore.
01:27:22.000 When you say bad, it's not exactly bad.
01:27:24.000 No, it's not bad.
01:27:24.000 It's just young people getting drunk in great restaurants.
01:27:27.000 It's like spring break all the time.
01:27:28.000 Yeah, basically.
01:27:29.000 When was the last time you went to spring break?
01:27:31.000 It's been a long time.
01:27:33.000 I'm not really into it.
01:27:34.000 Even when I was on spring break in college, I wasn't really into it.
01:27:37.000 We dream about that stuff.
01:27:38.000 It's a great place to get stabbed.
01:27:40.000 Is it?
01:27:41.000 Too crazy.
01:27:41.000 Is it worth going?
01:27:42.000 Well, I think whenever you give someone the opportunity, like, this is the time.
01:27:46.000 It's New Year's Eve.
01:27:47.000 Let's go crazy.
01:27:48.000 People go crazy on their own.
01:27:50.000 You don't need to give them a day where they're allowed to go crazy.
01:27:54.000 Like the full moon party in Thailand.
01:27:55.000 They'll make the half moon party and the quarter moon party.
01:27:57.000 They need more days to go nuts.
01:27:59.000 Well, a lot of clubs do New Year's Eve nights.
01:28:02.000 They do stand-up comedy shows.
01:28:04.000 For the longest time, I avoided those just because I got tired of the drunken crowds on New Year's.
01:28:09.000 They're so crazy.
01:28:10.000 It just wasn't worth doing.
01:28:12.000 But, you know.
01:28:14.000 Tell him where we spent New Year's this year.
01:28:15.000 Where did we spent?
01:28:16.000 I can't remember.
01:28:16.000 We got up to the fogs.
01:28:17.000 Oh, we went hunting, yeah.
01:28:18.000 Meanwhile, here's something for you.
01:28:20.000 Every time we speak to an American or Canadian, we spoke to these two guys at the UFC, Antonio Cavallo, a real nice guy, and his friend Monkey, who's a really good...
01:28:31.000 He doesn't use his real name.
01:28:33.000 And they live up north in Canada, and they hunt fucking...
01:28:38.000 Bears and wolves and with automatic rifles.
01:28:42.000 In Australia, you can only get a single shot.
01:28:44.000 And they're saying to me, I'm like, we're going to come next year and you guys are going to take us hunting.
01:28:48.000 This will be fun.
01:28:48.000 And he says, I said, why don't you come to Australia and hunt?
01:28:51.000 He goes, you're out of your fucking mind.
01:28:52.000 I'm not coming to Australia.
01:28:53.000 I go, what do you mean?
01:28:54.000 He goes, come to Australia and hunt.
01:28:56.000 You guys got the most dangerous animals in the world.
01:28:59.000 And I'm thinking like, you just said you hunt wolves and bears.
01:29:02.000 We didn't have shit that attacks us.
01:29:04.000 The only thing that attacks us are pigs.
01:29:07.000 Crocodiles?
01:29:07.000 Yeah, but the pigs attack us because we're chasing them.
01:29:09.000 We're in New South Wales, so there's no crocodiles.
01:29:11.000 Where are the crocodiles?
01:29:12.000 They're up in Northern Territories and stuff.
01:29:14.000 You've got to be careful you don't step in a puddle there.
01:29:17.000 Really?
01:29:18.000 There might be one hiding underwater.
01:29:20.000 Yeah, man.
01:29:20.000 They're terrifying.
01:29:22.000 Yeah, you don't see them where we are, though.
01:29:23.000 But the thing is, for us, the scariest creature you're going to see is a brown snake.
01:29:27.000 Yeah.
01:29:27.000 Which is deadly.
01:29:29.000 Yeah.
01:29:29.000 But they don't want to be there.
01:29:30.000 If you're hunting in bloody Canada, there's bears and polar bears if you keep going up, you know?
01:29:35.000 Yeah.
01:29:35.000 But bears and wolves.
01:29:36.000 We don't have wolves.
01:29:38.000 We don't have things that attack us.
01:29:39.000 We don't have anything that attacks us.
01:29:41.000 Yeah, so the crocodiles, they're limited to one part of the island, but what about the water?
01:29:46.000 The swim, yeah.
01:29:47.000 Yeah, but I mean, we're talking about bush hunting, right?
01:29:50.000 Like in a bush, right?
01:29:51.000 But swimming up on the top side of Australia, you don't just have to worry about sharks, you have to worry about crocodiles.
01:29:58.000 Crocodiles and sharks.
01:29:58.000 In the beach.
01:29:59.000 And what part is that?
01:30:00.000 It's like Darwin area, way up north.
01:30:03.000 Up above Queensland, Queensland sort of up above.
01:30:05.000 There's not much up there.
01:30:06.000 Have you guys seen that guy who claims to be Jesus in Queensland?
01:30:10.000 He's become fairly famous on the internet.
01:30:12.000 There was an internet expose about him.
01:30:14.000 I believe it was a British guy.
01:30:16.000 Went to Queensland and talked to this guy.
01:30:18.000 He's got a huge colony of people up there that believe he's Jesus.
01:30:22.000 He's got some woman with him that he says is Mary.
01:30:26.000 So she's a whore.
01:30:27.000 Well, you know, she's a reincarnated whore, sir.
01:30:31.000 I don't think her herself.
01:30:33.000 But apparently this guy's causing a stir up there and people are hoping he gets eaten by crocodiles.
01:30:38.000 He's got a good chance as long as there's a puddle around.
01:30:41.000 So it's that bad?
01:30:44.000 In terms of the puddles?
01:30:46.000 I mean, look, probably the crocodiles.
01:30:47.000 Pons, lakes, anything like that, right?
01:30:48.000 Look at me, like a bear, you could probably run around a tree.
01:30:50.000 Like a black bear, I don't know.
01:30:51.000 I've never seen one.
01:30:52.000 We're looking forward to actually doing it.
01:30:53.000 Run around a tree?
01:30:54.000 No, I'm saying as in like a black bear, you could probably shoot it or climb or something, right?
01:30:59.000 Not a brown bear, the smaller ones.
01:31:00.000 Do you know how fast a black bear can get up a tree?
01:31:02.000 I have no idea.
01:31:02.000 We want to go next year.
01:31:03.000 Black bears can literally get up a tree as fast as they can run.
01:31:07.000 Ah, Jesus.
01:31:08.000 They go like this.
01:31:09.000 They just go up the tree.
01:31:10.000 You're not going to out-climb a black bear.
01:31:12.000 Do you reckon a good black belt could strangle one?
01:31:15.000 No.
01:31:15.000 I don't think so.
01:31:16.000 No.
01:31:17.000 I don't think you could.
01:31:17.000 You could shoot it.
01:31:18.000 I mean, most of them are scared of people because we usually have guns and bows and arrows and stuff.
01:31:22.000 But black bears are tricky, man.
01:31:24.000 I've never seen one.
01:31:25.000 They don't usually attack people.
01:31:27.000 Black bears are much more likely to run away from people than attack people.
01:31:30.000 People have died because of black bears.
01:31:32.000 Brown bears, on the other hand, are fucking terrifying.
01:31:34.000 Yeah, I hear so.
01:31:35.000 Grizzlies are a totally different animal.
01:31:37.000 What's that movie, Anthony Hopkins' one, with the bear that's bloody chasing him for that?
01:31:40.000 Oh yeah, I don't remember that.
01:31:41.000 I don't remember the name of it.
01:31:42.000 They're terrifying though.
01:31:43.000 The polar bears are the most dangerous.
01:31:45.000 Really?
01:31:45.000 Yeah, because they're 100% carnivorous.
01:31:48.000 The other ones are omnivores.
01:31:50.000 Even grizzly bears are omnivores.
01:31:54.000 Brown bears hunt a lot.
01:31:56.000 They'll kill moose and they chase moose and chase them down and kill them.
01:31:59.000 They chase antelope or rather a caribou and deer.
01:32:03.000 We don't have any of that stuff.
01:32:05.000 But they definitely kill people.
01:32:07.000 They kill people every year.
01:32:08.000 They kill people even in America every year.
01:32:10.000 That's brown bears.
01:32:11.000 Brown bears.
01:32:12.000 Brown bears and grizzlies are essentially the same bear.
01:32:14.000 Black bears are smaller but still very dangerous.
01:32:17.000 But all those bears, they eat different things.
01:32:20.000 They leave like roots and berries.
01:32:22.000 But if a polar bear sees you, they just go, oh shit, I can eat that.
01:32:25.000 And then they just start coming at you.
01:32:26.000 They all just want to eat.
01:32:27.000 Anything that's moving is on the menu.
01:32:29.000 What about wolves?
01:32:30.000 Do you think they're scarier than bears?
01:32:32.000 Wolves are scary as fuck because they act together.
01:32:34.000 The scary thing about wolves is they act together.
01:32:36.000 There haven't been very many attacks on human beings, but it's only because we figured out how to contain them and kill them.
01:32:43.000 There used to be a lot of them.
01:32:45.000 I mean, all that big bad wolf, all those stories, the Little Red Riding Hood and all that stuff, that all came about because at one point in time, before the wolf populations were put under control, especially back before they had really good weapons, wolves were a huge problem.
01:32:58.000 During World War I, the Russians and the Germans had a ceasefire because in the forest, they were killing so many troops.
01:33:07.000 The wolves, they ran into a super pack, and wolves, especially in the really cold climates, can form super packs.
01:33:14.000 There's also a principle of the further north you go, the larger the mammals are.
01:33:18.000 That's why polar bears are the biggest bears, and Kodiak bears.
01:33:21.000 Because the further north you go, the more they have to maintain their body mass in order to keep heat.
01:33:27.000 So you have enormous wolves.
01:33:29.000 And there were so many of them that they were killing so many Russian and German troops that they got together and they made a ceasefire.
01:33:35.000 They said, we're going to just kill these wolves and then we'll go back to killing each other.
01:33:38.000 It's a famous incident.
01:33:40.000 This guy, Monkey, was telling me.
01:33:41.000 I was like, wolves, whatever.
01:33:43.000 Because we've got dingoes.
01:33:43.000 And dingoes are kind of like crackheads.
01:33:46.000 If they kind of gang up and follow you, you know you're in trouble.
01:33:50.000 When was the last time I saw a dingo?
01:33:51.000 Well, my dad was jogging once.
01:33:53.000 He saw one dingo and he kept jogging and then he saw two.
01:33:55.000 He kept jogging and then he saw it on Fraser Island.
01:33:58.000 If you ever come to Australia, you've got to go to Fraser Island.
01:34:00.000 Best place in Australia.
01:34:01.000 And bring some anti-dingo weapons.
01:34:03.000 Well, you just don't jog on your own.
01:34:05.000 Bring Red Band or something.
01:34:05.000 How big are they?
01:34:06.000 They're like dogs.
01:34:08.000 They're like dogs?
01:34:09.000 Like 70 pounds, 60 pounds?
01:34:11.000 They're kind of like, you guys have got something similar in coyotes.
01:34:14.000 Yeah, something similar to them there.
01:34:16.000 They kill people every now and then.
01:34:17.000 A woman died a couple years ago, a folk singer up in Canada.
01:34:20.000 A bunch of coyotes killed her.
01:34:22.000 She was 19 years old, young kid.
01:34:24.000 Apparently a talented singer too.
01:34:26.000 But the wolves that they're starting to shoot now in North America are really fucking big.
01:34:30.000 Jamie, pull up a picture of a big wolf that someone's killed.
01:34:34.000 They kill these wolves and they take pictures of them after they shoot them.
01:34:37.000 They put them in bear hugs and hold them up so you see how big they are.
01:34:41.000 You know, they're 150, 200 pounds.
01:34:43.000 They're fucking huge.
01:34:44.000 I love dogs.
01:34:44.000 I could never shoot a dog.
01:34:45.000 You say that.
01:34:46.000 Yeah, what if it was a bloody wolf?
01:34:47.000 Circling you.
01:34:48.000 I love humans, but I'd shoot one of them.
01:34:51.000 Look at the size of that.
01:34:52.000 That's one of them.
01:34:53.000 That is insane.
01:34:54.000 But that's a perspective shot.
01:34:55.000 The wolf's in front of you.
01:34:56.000 It's hard to tell.
01:34:58.000 Show one of the ones where a guy's picking up a wolf.
01:35:00.000 Because there's some of them where guys are holding up these wolves and you're like, that is fucking insane.
01:35:04.000 It's bigger than a person.
01:35:06.000 Oh my god.
01:35:07.000 Yeah, look at the size of that fucking thing.
01:35:09.000 And they have a lot of them now in places like Idaho and Montana.
01:35:14.000 They're starting to shoot them and put hunting seasons on them and put larger tag limits on them as well because they want more people to kill wolves.
01:35:24.000 That's a lion.
01:35:25.000 They're big.
01:35:26.000 There's another one.
01:35:27.000 Look at the size of that.
01:35:28.000 Australia, we've got the smallest, we've got the bloody little spider that kills you, and a snake.
01:35:33.000 Well, a lot of these are reintroduced in North America.
01:35:36.000 The thing is, they were almost decimated in North America, so they brought in the Canadian wolves to repopulate.
01:35:41.000 And then again, here's the issue.
01:35:43.000 The further north you go, the colder the weather is, the larger the animals are.
01:35:46.000 And so you get in these larger wolves.
01:35:48.000 I mean, they're the same species, technically, but it's just like white-tailed deer.
01:35:53.000 White-tailed deer in Mexico tend to only be like around 100 pounds.
01:35:57.000 But when you get up to Alberta, white-tailed deer get to like 250, 300 pounds sometimes because it's much colder and they need to have more body mass to keep their body heat up.
01:36:06.000 It's pretty amazing stuff.
01:36:08.000 Australia's pretty weak.
01:36:09.000 I mean, crocodile's probably the worst, I guess.
01:36:12.000 No, no, no.
01:36:12.000 The funniest thing is when we were in Vegas yesterday, I met up with a friend of a friend and I was like, you and your boyfriend have got to come to Sydney sometime.
01:36:20.000 I'm like, Sydney?
01:36:21.000 If I go there, everything wants to kill me.
01:36:24.000 I've heard that like 10 times.
01:36:25.000 Where does that come from?
01:36:27.000 Everything's trying to kill me.
01:36:28.000 We've got spiders, snakes.
01:36:29.000 Yeah, but you're one of the only Americans who's been there.
01:36:30.000 That's how you know.
01:36:32.000 Well, here's the thing.
01:36:32.000 And she's like, oh, man, I heard about those drop bears.
01:36:36.000 And I was like, are you serious?
01:36:38.000 Don't give that away.
01:36:39.000 You don't know about drop bears, do you?
01:36:41.000 What's a drop bear?
01:36:42.000 Drop bear is kind of an alternative species of koala bear.
01:36:47.000 You know koala bears?
01:36:49.000 Yeah.
01:36:50.000 And they hang out in trees and they drop on people's heads.
01:36:54.000 They don't know why, but for some reason, the way Americans talk, they, um, you get where we're going with this.
01:37:00.000 They fucking hate Americans?
01:37:01.000 They fucking hate Americans.
01:37:02.000 It's the accent.
01:37:03.000 There we go.
01:37:03.000 It's basically like, well, yeah, that's the drop bear.
01:37:05.000 That's the gray ones.
01:37:06.000 See if you can pull a black one off.
01:37:07.000 Let the fuck out of here.
01:37:08.000 Yeah.
01:37:09.000 That's not real.
01:37:10.000 It's, yeah, no.
01:37:11.000 That's real.
01:37:11.000 A koala bear with giant fangs.
01:37:13.000 Look out black.
01:37:14.000 Black drop bear.
01:37:15.000 They only attack Americans.
01:37:16.000 Australian black drop bear.
01:37:17.000 They only attack Americans.
01:37:18.000 Are you trying to keep Americans out of Australia?
01:37:20.000 We may or may not be doing that.
01:37:22.000 Are you guys fucking with us?
01:37:24.000 I'm not sure.
01:37:25.000 Come on, are you fucking with us?
01:37:26.000 I'm not sure.
01:37:27.000 If we say anything, I'm sure when we get back to the visa section at our airport, they may take our passports.
01:37:33.000 How is it possible that these koala bears...
01:37:36.000 This shit is Photoshopped, son.
01:37:37.000 Drop bears.
01:37:38.000 This is bullshit.
01:37:39.000 This is bullshit, isn't it?
01:37:40.000 It's something about the pitch and the smell of the American pheromones.
01:37:44.000 It's the mustard.
01:37:45.000 Something about red meat.
01:37:46.000 I smell bullshit.
01:37:47.000 You're smelling the right thing.
01:37:48.000 Okay, why are you bullshitting people?
01:37:50.000 They don't know any better.
01:37:51.000 In Australia, it's just a thing.
01:37:53.000 Every time you meet an American, koala bears are the most harmless, bloody, useless thing.
01:37:57.000 I've seen like three in my life.
01:37:59.000 They make little chocolate treats.
01:38:00.000 So these images with his fake teeth, it's fake.
01:38:03.000 It's an Australian joke.
01:38:05.000 But obviously, like this girl yesterday was like...
01:38:08.000 No, they're terrified.
01:38:09.000 They're like, you know, what about those drop bears?
01:38:10.000 I'm like, are you serious?
01:38:12.000 Tell that bitch to go online.
01:38:13.000 You find out in two seconds.
01:38:14.000 The first thing when you Google drop bears is museum of hoaxes.
01:38:19.000 Yeah.
01:38:21.000 Oh, that's hilarious.
01:38:22.000 All we've got to worry about are pigs with short legs and pretty much pigs and kangaroos.
01:38:29.000 Yeah, brown snakes.
01:38:30.000 Do you guys eat kangaroo here?
01:38:32.000 You can get it.
01:38:34.000 Yeah.
01:38:34.000 I mean, you can get it.
01:38:35.000 You can get it.
01:38:36.000 Like, there's exotic meat places where they'll...
01:38:38.000 It's pretty cold in Australia.
01:38:39.000 There's a place that serves...
01:38:40.000 You can buy lion meat.
01:38:42.000 You can buy lion.
01:38:42.000 It's not going to be fresh.
01:38:44.000 It's all going to be frozen.
01:38:45.000 All of it's going to be frozen.
01:38:47.000 But there's exotic meat companies.
01:38:49.000 People are into trying weird shit like zebra and stuff like that.
01:38:53.000 What is zebra like?
01:38:55.000 I had a lot of the...
01:38:58.000 We ate something called dryvos, which is like dried sausage and biltong.
01:39:02.000 It's like your jerky.
01:39:03.000 Made out of zebra.
01:39:05.000 They've got everything there.
01:39:06.000 Wow.
01:39:08.000 Yeah, it's some really good stuff.
01:39:10.000 Well, I know that there's these different places that you can go in Africa where you can shoot anything you want.
01:39:19.000 And Louis Theroux had a whole special about it.
01:39:23.000 It's really quite fascinating.
01:39:25.000 Did you watch that?
01:39:26.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:39:26.000 By the way, when you had that podcast, I was geeking out because when I hear that guy talk, I just want to hug him.
01:39:32.000 He's just like such a charming fellow.
01:39:33.000 He's very cool.
01:39:34.000 Yeah.
01:39:34.000 He's very interesting too.
01:39:35.000 I really, really enjoy talking to him.
01:39:37.000 My mom loves him.
01:39:38.000 If you listen to this, Louie, my mom, Mrs. Apter loves you.
01:39:40.000 I love you.
01:39:41.000 That's cool.
01:39:42.000 Yeah.
01:39:43.000 It was interesting having him on because somewhere along the line, I realized that he was sizing me up to figure out whether or not he could do a story on me.
01:39:50.000 Louis would.
01:39:51.000 Yeah, there was...
01:39:52.000 Well, I think he thinks that I'm starting a cult or something like that, or he heard it, because he's like, I've met all these people that tell me I have to go on the Joe Rogan podcast.
01:40:00.000 And he's like, they have this thing in their eye, they look a little crazy.
01:40:02.000 And he's like, are you starting a cult?
01:40:04.000 Like, he had this conversation with me, and I'm like, no, man.
01:40:08.000 No, if it's happening, it's not me.
01:40:12.000 We had a bunch of guys sign up to our academy.
01:40:14.000 They're not there anymore, but they signed up and they said...
01:40:18.000 Yeah, we listened to the Joe Rogan podcast.
01:40:21.000 He says we need to do jiu-jitsu, lift kettlebells and smoke weed.
01:40:24.000 So these guys would, they bought kettlebells.
01:40:26.000 These are IT nerds, like the dorkiest dudes you've ever seen, right?
01:40:29.000 They bought the kettlebells.
01:40:30.000 I'm pretty sure they didn't take them out of the box.
01:40:32.000 And after training every day, they go smoke weed in their car.
01:40:35.000 And like, it was just absolutely what you prescribed in your cult.
01:40:41.000 I'm not prescribing shit.
01:40:43.000 I'm not running a cult.
01:40:44.000 I just want to state that for the record.
01:40:45.000 There is no cult.
01:40:46.000 Stop looking for a sign-up sheet on my website.
01:40:49.000 It doesn't exist.
01:40:50.000 But the thing I was going to say about, which is interesting about the internet, we were talking about this on the way here, is like in my gym, each person or has their own kind of little...
01:40:59.000 Okay, so for example, like most guys listen to your show, right?
01:41:02.000 That do martial arts.
01:41:03.000 But they each tend to diversify.
01:41:05.000 Like, one guy goes, yeah, no, I'm not into Joe Rogan anymore.
01:41:08.000 I'm into Duncan Trussell.
01:41:10.000 He's more kind of like, you know, my kind of, like, tempo or vibe.
01:41:15.000 You know, like, all the kids have now, like, chosen their...
01:41:18.000 Their paths.
01:41:19.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:41:20.000 Well, it's a cool time to, like, for content because everything's free, too.
01:41:25.000 Right.
01:41:25.000 You know, it used to be that if you wanted different stuff online...
01:41:30.000 Well, first of all, podcasts didn't exist just 10 years ago.
01:41:34.000 You couldn't find them.
01:41:35.000 And then second of all, to have different radio shows that you listen to is very difficult to get a hold of copies.
01:41:41.000 I have a bunch of Terrence McKenna recordings and Alan Watts and a few different interesting people, like a few Timothy Leary things that I've downloaded here and there from various websites.
01:41:51.000 But you had to search for them.
01:41:52.000 It was really hard.
01:41:53.000 Yeah.
01:41:54.000 We used to have a little CD of you, and I remember I was saying the first time we heard your stuff was my friends in high school, and this is 15 years ago or something, smoking cigarettes and listening to this crazy dude on a CD talking about little athletes going to China and stuff.
01:42:12.000 That was probably like your older stuff, right?
01:42:13.000 Little athletes going to China?
01:42:15.000 You know, like the school teacher comes up to them.
01:42:17.000 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
01:42:18.000 That was about the Olympics.
01:42:20.000 Yeah.
01:42:20.000 It wasn't about Chinese.
01:42:23.000 Sorry, I messed it up.
01:42:25.000 That's why you're the comedian.
01:42:26.000 It was about someone going to the Olympics and then having to go to high school after they win the gold medal in the Olympics and take math seriously.
01:42:34.000 The teacher starts giving them shit about not doing their homework.
01:42:37.000 Yeah.
01:42:37.000 But the thing is that your stand-up, and probably back in the day, like Bill Hicks and stuff, was kind of a dirty little secret that made me sound smarter at parties, you know?
01:42:47.000 And nowadays, everybody listens to podcasts.
01:42:50.000 It's great, which is great.
01:42:52.000 Don't get me wrong.
01:42:53.000 I'm just saying as an...
01:42:54.000 There's no dirty little secret anymore.
01:42:56.000 Right.
01:42:56.000 Well, that's the thing that people love.
01:42:58.000 They love knowing things before it's cool.
01:43:00.000 Yeah.
01:43:01.000 And then, oh, I knew it before it was mainstream.
01:43:03.000 It's all bullshit now.
01:43:04.000 I don't even listen to Rogan anymore.
01:43:06.000 He's all bullshit.
01:43:07.000 That's for fucking people that are just now getting into podcasts.
01:43:11.000 I'm all about Duncan Trussell now.
01:43:13.000 That's what his psychic Ben does.
01:43:15.000 Psychic Ben's like, oh, I can't say Ben's name.
01:43:17.000 Well, you know what?
01:43:18.000 People will do that, they'll do that, and then they'll bend.
01:43:20.000 Yeah, he likes me.
01:43:21.000 They'll bend and dunk in after a while, and then they'll go to another guy.
01:43:24.000 But it's fine.
01:43:25.000 Look, I do that too.
01:43:27.000 I get in these streaks where I'll get into a certain podcast, and I'll listen to only Hardcore History for like six months.
01:43:32.000 And then I'll go with Radiolab.
01:43:34.000 I'll listen to only Radiolab for three months.
01:43:36.000 It's like...
01:43:37.000 You get annoyed at people, too, if you listen to them too much.
01:43:39.000 I've heard people complain about me.
01:43:41.000 Yo, your podcast changed.
01:43:43.000 I used to love it.
01:43:43.000 No, it hasn't changed.
01:43:46.000 It's exactly the same.
01:43:47.000 You listen to someone after a while, they become fucking annoying.
01:43:51.000 That's why marriages break up.
01:43:52.000 That's why you don't hang out with the same fucking guy every day, all day.
01:43:56.000 You get bored with people.
01:43:58.000 Fucking people get annoying, man.
01:44:00.000 Everything gets annoying.
01:44:02.000 I love cheeseburgers, but I've had a fucking cheeseburger every day.
01:44:05.000 I'd want to shoot myself.
01:44:06.000 After a while, you'd be like, Jesus Christ, enough with the cheeseburgers.
01:44:10.000 And the quality of the guest has been slowly sinking, I see, as well.
01:44:13.000 Because you guys are here?
01:44:14.000 I had Eliza Schlesinger on before you, and she won Last Comic Standing.
01:44:18.000 Really?
01:44:18.000 And she's hilarious, so how dare you?
01:44:21.000 Well, you know, I think one of the keys to the podcast is that I put people on that I would like to talk to.
01:44:27.000 Genuine interest is the most important thing to me.
01:44:30.000 And people say, oh, you need to have this kind of person or that or more science people or more whatever.
01:44:36.000 I'm not interested.
01:44:37.000 What I'm interested in is what I'm interested in.
01:44:40.000 I'm not interested in diversifying for anybody else's ideas.
01:44:42.000 That way, the thing that I talk about is always something that I'm genuinely fascinated with.
01:44:49.000 And that's all I'm concerned with.
01:44:50.000 You've been promoting a lot of people doing podcasts, as in like telling them to do their own podcast.
01:44:55.000 Sure, yeah.
01:44:56.000 I did that with Eliza earlier.
01:44:58.000 I think there's plenty of room.
01:44:59.000 First of all, there's seven fucking billion people on the planet, 300 million people in this country, and the idea that you should only want people to listen to your podcast is foolish.
01:45:08.000 And from what I stated before, you're going to get bored of me.
01:45:12.000 There should be a lot of other shit you tune into.
01:45:15.000 There's plenty of room for everybody.
01:45:18.000 Podcast also, I think the better you get at something, the more you do it.
01:45:22.000 And when I say the podcast is the same as it's always been, I don't necessarily know because I think I've probably changed as a human being.
01:45:29.000 I'm evolving, at least I try to, constantly working on myself.
01:45:32.000 So I would hope that the podcast gets better.
01:45:35.000 Along the way, you kind of realize that there's plenty for everybody.
01:45:41.000 But I'm like that with everything, man.
01:45:43.000 I promote all my friends when it comes to stand-up comedy, when it comes to everything.
01:45:47.000 I think that the idea of only promoting yourself or only pushing yourself, that's a famine mentality.
01:45:54.000 And I think that mentality is a very dangerous mentality.
01:45:56.000 It's foolhardy.
01:45:58.000 It's stupid.
01:45:59.000 And it promotes this sort of desperate sort of thinking, which...
01:46:03.000 I think goes against the very nature of progress itself.
01:46:07.000 I think it's all about helping people out.
01:46:10.000 It's all about promoting ideas that you find beneficial, promoting people that you enjoy their work or their ideas.
01:46:18.000 And I think that the more you do that, the better it is for you and the better it is for everybody.
01:46:23.000 Can I ask you with regard to, like, he's and my friend are starting a podcast, right?
01:46:29.000 What advice?
01:46:31.000 He was writing a book originally.
01:46:33.000 That was the original thing.
01:46:35.000 But writing's not really his thing.
01:46:38.000 Right.
01:46:38.000 Or mine, really.
01:46:40.000 Do you think a podcast is a good place to start?
01:46:43.000 Fuck yeah.
01:46:43.000 Stuff like that?
01:46:44.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:46:45.000 Just do it.
01:46:45.000 It's not hard.
01:46:46.000 I mean, you don't need a setup like this where it's all so complicated with cameras and all that shit.
01:46:50.000 All you need is an MP3. Yeah, you don't need a predator or a lava lamp or a salt rock.
01:46:54.000 All you need is an MP3 recorder and microphones.
01:46:57.000 It's super easy to do for a couple hundred bucks.
01:47:00.000 You set it up.
01:47:01.000 You put it on a table.
01:47:02.000 You sit around with some chairs and you talk and you get better.
01:47:05.000 You do it at first and you listen to them and you listen to input online.
01:47:10.000 That's a big one.
01:47:11.000 Listen to what people say.
01:47:12.000 Oh, you talk over people too much or you interrupt too much.
01:47:14.000 And sometimes people do things along those lines.
01:47:16.000 They don't even realize they're doing it.
01:47:18.000 And you have to tell them.
01:47:19.000 Or some people, they're not listening.
01:47:22.000 They're just waiting for their turn to talk.
01:47:24.000 There's a lot of that going on too.
01:47:26.000 It's funny when you're saying that.
01:47:27.000 I'm conscious of myself doing that.
01:47:28.000 In terms of I'm like, okay, hold on.
01:47:31.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:47:32.000 Okay, just hold back.
01:47:33.000 Well, there's an art to conversation and that's one of the things you find out about doing podcasts.
01:47:38.000 You find out about the art of conversation.
01:47:41.000 You find out about the art of when to talk, when not to talk, listening, actually interacting with people instead of just trying to say your things.
01:47:49.000 There's some people that are frustrating to do podcasts with because all they're trying to do is impress upon you how much they know and spout out facts and quote people and you're like, Jesus fucking Christ, did you even listen to what I said?
01:48:01.000 You just waited until I was done and then you spit out a bunch of quotes and shit that are not even related.
01:48:06.000 They have this idea that they want to get out and A lot of it is like trying to sound cool.
01:48:12.000 It's a lot of ego.
01:48:13.000 There's a lot involved that you find these parallels in just a normal conversation.
01:48:19.000 I'm shocked sometimes when I talk to people about how bad people are at interrupting people, not listening to people when they're talking.
01:48:28.000 So podcasting just makes you better at the art of conversation.
01:48:32.000 And the better you get at it, the less awkward a podcast is to listen to.
01:48:37.000 So you just do it, man.
01:48:38.000 Just do it.
01:48:39.000 Start it.
01:48:39.000 You'll get good at it.
01:48:41.000 So that's the plan.
01:48:42.000 Isn't that hard, man?
01:48:43.000 You guys can do it.
01:48:44.000 You hang in here easy.
01:48:45.000 It's easy.
01:48:46.000 You guys are smart.
01:48:48.000 You're articulate.
01:48:49.000 You're easy to talk to.
01:48:50.000 You're down to earth.
01:48:50.000 It's perfect for a podcast.
01:48:52.000 Set it up.
01:48:54.000 Put a fucking MP3 recorder, a couple of microphones, bam, and you're off to the races.
01:48:58.000 We did one on the Growing Down site, and we recorded it 20 times before we released it.
01:49:04.000 Why?
01:49:05.000 Because, look, we were sitting there with my friend who's a psychologist, and Dylan and I were there, and we recorded about 20 before that, and it was just like...
01:49:16.000 Man, just listen to yourself.
01:49:19.000 And also on top of that, he was very concerned how people would see him as a professional because he's being open and speaking his mind.
01:49:27.000 He's a really funny guy.
01:49:29.000 Jonathan, the guy Jonathan Bach, he's a really funny guy, but he was a bit concerned.
01:49:33.000 It took us about 20 times for him to stop playing a character.
01:49:37.000 You know, like Dr. Katz slash Hannibal Lecter.
01:49:39.000 So, you know, like somewhere between the two.
01:49:41.000 And he looks like Vince Vaughn.
01:49:42.000 So he's having a hard time relaxing and being himself.
01:49:45.000 Yeah.
01:49:46.000 Well, that happens.
01:49:47.000 That happens and that'll be taken care of in time.
01:49:52.000 You just gotta do it.
01:49:54.000 Just do it after a while.
01:49:55.000 I mean, I have friends that sucked at podcasting in the beginning and now they're awesome at it.
01:49:59.000 It just takes time.
01:50:00.000 You figure out how to do it right.
01:50:02.000 Some people, by the way, they fucking never get better.
01:50:05.000 They'll podcast for hundreds of episodes and they still say stupid shit and jump in the wrong time and fuck up the flow of the conversation and make it all about them.
01:50:15.000 It's...
01:50:16.000 You're going to have that too.
01:50:18.000 You're going to have guests on or disasters that you're never going to have on again and you recognize that while you're talking to them like, oh fuck, I can never have this guy on again.
01:50:26.000 Some people are just not fucking interesting.
01:50:30.000 You don't even know why.
01:50:31.000 What is it about one person's personality that makes them fascinating?
01:50:35.000 I don't know.
01:50:35.000 Is it honesty?
01:50:36.000 Is it their curiosity?
01:50:38.000 What is it?
01:50:39.000 I don't know.
01:50:40.000 Everybody's got a different thing.
01:50:42.000 Sometimes I were talking before about some people, we're talking about what, and meanwhile I've just talked over him for the whole podcast, I brought him here.
01:50:49.000 No, no, you didn't.
01:50:50.000 That's cool.
01:50:51.000 No, you guys are all interacting.
01:50:52.000 It's cool.
01:50:53.000 But the thing was, sometimes it kind of feels like people aren't ready to hear some stuff in terms of holding back.
01:50:59.000 And I wonder if that comes across as boring when you're trying to You know what I mean?
01:51:03.000 Like, we're talking about some of the stuff, some of your stories is like, maybe not for, I don't know, you know what I mean?
01:51:09.000 Like, it might come across as not being willing to share, you know what I mean?
01:51:15.000 Oh, I don't think so.
01:51:16.000 You can't overthink things either.
01:51:18.000 You gotta just put it out and then listen to the feedback.
01:51:21.000 Listen to it yourself, but sometimes it's hard to see yourself the way other people see you.
01:51:26.000 You know, you have to...
01:51:27.000 And then it's also...
01:51:28.000 It's going to be hard listening to the feedback because a bunch of people are going to write, Z, Z, Z, Z, Z, fucking boring, kill yourself.
01:51:35.000 I mean, there's going to be a lot of that.
01:51:37.000 You're going to have to deal with that.
01:51:39.000 Your own parents?
01:51:40.000 No.
01:51:40.000 You're going to have to deal with that.
01:51:41.000 But listen, I would think that just your stories about Thailand, I mean, just the story that you were telling me about dealing with those bodies, just that alone, like, holy shit.
01:51:52.000 What were you telling me?
01:51:52.000 You were telling me today something about the eating...
01:51:55.000 I remember you talking about...
01:51:56.000 I haven't heard any of this stuff.
01:51:57.000 Yeah, I mean, the stories, a lot of them are, you know, I think funny to me, like being of a Jewish background, for example, I never ate pork.
01:52:05.000 It was just what we didn't...
01:52:07.000 I don't know, it's a part of my religion, but like...
01:52:08.000 Now I can't stop you.
01:52:09.000 I fucking love pork.
01:52:11.000 Yeah, you know, we're transporting bodies off on one boat and we'll sit in the middle making sure no bodies jumped off the side or fell off the side and then we'll transport food back onto the island without cleaning anything.
01:52:23.000 Yeah.
01:52:24.000 And then they'll prepare food.
01:52:25.000 There'll be flies.
01:52:27.000 It was pretty bad.
01:52:28.000 Holy shit.
01:52:29.000 And then I was starving.
01:52:30.000 I was like, man, we're going to eat.
01:52:31.000 And we were vomiting a lot just from the smells and stuff.
01:52:33.000 I was like, you know, let's, you know, I need some food, man.
01:52:37.000 I've got to eat now.
01:52:38.000 So I went over there.
01:52:39.000 I'm like, what is this packet?
01:52:40.000 There's just like flies everywhere.
01:52:42.000 I'm like, no, fuck that.
01:52:42.000 I'm not eating that.
01:52:44.000 And then I said, no, I've got to eat something.
01:52:45.000 So I had just a little packet and I ate it.
01:52:48.000 I was like, this stuff is frigging awesome.
01:52:52.000 So I said to the Thai person, I'm like, what is this?
01:52:56.000 They're like, oh, so I'm thinking, it must be a cow.
01:53:00.000 So I'm eating this stuff, and I got so addicted to it that I got them to write it down in English and Thai for me.
01:53:07.000 Then when I went back to the mainland and for many, many trips after, I kept ordering the same dish.
01:53:12.000 I loved it.
01:53:13.000 And my friend turns around to me and goes, dude, since when do you eat pork?
01:53:15.000 I'm like, it's not pork.
01:53:17.000 It's moo.
01:53:17.000 It's cow.
01:53:19.000 Like cow.
01:53:19.000 I think his tires probably looked at me like, oh, this white guy.
01:53:22.000 And I was like, oh, you know, they're just making the sound of the animal, but moo actually translates to pork.
01:53:27.000 So I've been eating pork for like 10 years.
01:53:29.000 I didn't even know it was pork.
01:53:30.000 And there was just so much miscommunication and translation problems and there's lots of little things in it.
01:53:36.000 So you still thought that you were adhering to your religious principles?
01:53:39.000 Look, I probably would have in it anyway.
01:53:41.000 Like, you know, we eat prawns and stuff, but it was so good, man.
01:53:45.000 I've never given it up.
01:53:46.000 I love pork.
01:53:47.000 Yeah, prawns are against the religion as well.
01:53:49.000 A lot of people don't know.
01:53:50.000 Shellfish, right?
01:53:51.000 You're not supposed to eat shellfish.
01:53:52.000 But Jews love the unlimited shrimp buffet, so...
01:53:55.000 Yeah, pretty much.
01:53:56.000 It's true.
01:53:57.000 That's hilarious that shrimp gets a pass, but pork, clove and hoof.
01:54:01.000 Have you ever had wild pork?
01:54:04.000 We hunted it but never eaten it.
01:54:06.000 You can't eat it in Australia.
01:54:07.000 Why not?
01:54:07.000 It's the worms.
01:54:08.000 A lot of worms.
01:54:09.000 They're pretty gross.
01:54:10.000 So they take the babies, they capture the babies and they deworm them and send them to Germany.
01:54:14.000 Yeah.
01:54:15.000 Because they love the boars.
01:54:16.000 I didn't know boars were pigs for the first.
01:54:18.000 When I watched Asterix and Obelix, I was like, boars?
01:54:22.000 I didn't know boars were pigs.
01:54:23.000 They were like this mythical creature.
01:54:25.000 Well, apparently it's all the same species.
01:54:27.000 Yeah.
01:54:28.000 I had a guy, there's a guy that I hunt with that's been on the podcast.
01:54:32.000 His name is Steve Rinella.
01:54:33.000 Have you ever listened to him?
01:54:34.000 I bought him your book, yeah.
01:54:34.000 Yeah, great book.
01:54:35.000 But he said they're all from the genus Suscrafa.
01:54:40.000 They're all the same thing.
01:54:42.000 He said a wild pig can breed with a domestic pig.
01:54:46.000 They're all pigs.
01:54:47.000 There's a thing about pigs that happens, too.
01:54:49.000 When you take a domestic pig and they get loose in the wild, within three weeks, their body starts to change.
01:54:55.000 They metamorphosize.
01:54:57.000 Their hair gets longer and thicker and bushier.
01:55:01.000 Their tusks grow.
01:55:02.000 Their nose grows.
01:55:03.000 Really fascinating stuff.
01:55:04.000 Did you get that fact from him?
01:55:05.000 You've been telling me that for a few years?
01:55:07.000 I've been telling him.
01:55:07.000 That's what I said.
01:55:07.000 He used to make me sound smarter at parties.
01:55:09.000 Now everyone listens to your show.
01:55:10.000 Now I know where you're really getting it from.
01:55:12.000 I'm like, fuck, man.
01:55:13.000 You told me that like a couple weeks back.
01:55:14.000 I can't get away with anything anymore.
01:55:15.000 And hunting.
01:55:16.000 They morph.
01:55:16.000 It's really fascinating.
01:55:17.000 They look physically different than the pigs that you have in domestic stables.
01:55:21.000 They change their appearance.
01:55:23.000 Their nose grows longer.
01:55:24.000 It's really weird.
01:55:25.000 They get tusks and stuff, right?
01:55:27.000 Yeah, and that's a domestic pig.
01:55:28.000 They start to look like horse.
01:55:29.000 You guys have a problem with it here as well, huh?
01:55:31.000 Huge, huge problem.
01:55:32.000 Huge problem.
01:55:32.000 American hoggers.
01:55:33.000 Yeah, there's no tag limits on them in California.
01:55:35.000 You could shoot as many as you want, man.
01:55:37.000 You could go shoot pigs all day.
01:55:39.000 I can't do it, man, but he likes...
01:55:41.000 You can't shoot pigs?
01:55:42.000 No, I just...
01:55:42.000 In Australia, you don't shoot pigs.
01:55:44.000 You dog...
01:55:45.000 Oh, and then you stab them.
01:55:47.000 I can't do that, man.
01:55:49.000 But we've got, depends where you are in New South Wales, but you can kill pigs and kangaroos if they're destroying the land.
01:55:56.000 But you've got to understand like Skippy.
01:55:58.000 Did you ever watch Skippy back in the day?
01:55:59.000 The bush kangaroo?
01:56:00.000 Skippy the bush kangaroo.
01:56:01.000 He was kind of like Mr. Ed.
01:56:04.000 He's like the Australian Mr. Ed.
01:56:06.000 He didn't talk.
01:56:07.000 But he was kind of that character.
01:56:09.000 He was a good guy.
01:56:10.000 He was pretty much like Captain America, about as interesting.
01:56:15.000 He was basically like a hero that didn't really do anything, say anything too interesting.
01:56:19.000 You like Captain America, don't you?
01:56:20.000 Yeah, I do.
01:56:21.000 I find him dull.
01:56:24.000 Is it Skippy?
01:56:26.000 That's Skippy!
01:56:27.000 So it's like Lassie.
01:56:30.000 Can I tell you something you haven't seen?
01:56:35.000 Something very Australian.
01:56:36.000 So when we go hunting and the farmers want to kill the kangaroos, it's really hard for us because it's like...
01:56:41.000 Because it's Skippy?
01:56:41.000 It's Skippy!
01:56:42.000 We grew up with Skippy.
01:56:43.000 We grew up with Skippy.
01:56:45.000 There's some kangaroos that are bigger, right?
01:56:46.000 Is it red ones or the grey ones?
01:56:48.000 Red ones are bigger.
01:56:49.000 The red ones are scary, yeah.
01:56:50.000 How big do they get?
01:56:51.000 I saw one at the zoo, Taronga Zoo in Sydney, which, by the way, if you ever go...
01:56:55.000 Did you go to Taronga Zoo?
01:56:56.000 Yeah.
01:56:57.000 These kangaroos...
01:56:58.000 I haven't seen kangaroos in the wild this big.
01:57:01.000 They were massive.
01:57:02.000 The ones we see are small ones.
01:57:03.000 If you hit one, like a kangaroo, Oh, Jesus.
01:57:06.000 You know, people talk about kangaroos like, oh, they're so cute and this and that.
01:57:10.000 And they are cute.
01:57:11.000 They taste really good as well.
01:57:13.000 But, you know, like, they're on the roads everywhere.
01:57:16.000 Yeah.
01:57:17.000 And, you know, one, it wasn't even longer.
01:57:19.000 It was like two, three months ago.
01:57:20.000 You're reading the newspaper.
01:57:22.000 A kangaroo went, because they jump in front of you like deer.
01:57:26.000 Right.
01:57:27.000 Not as, you know, they jump a lot higher.
01:57:29.000 But, and they look at the headlights like, oh, what's this?
01:57:32.000 And then, boom, you hit them.
01:57:34.000 But what happens is it went through because the way they're built, like deer, it hits, it rolls over the car.
01:57:41.000 Whereas this kangaroo went through front to back and killed the kid in the back.
01:57:47.000 Oh, God.
01:57:48.000 You see them everywhere on the road, wombats and kangaroos.
01:57:52.000 When we were out about a year ago, one tried to jump through the window while we were driving.
01:57:56.000 We don't personally hunt kangaroos, but you can do it in a certain area.
01:58:02.000 There's just too many of them, it gets boring.
01:58:04.000 But the one thing I was going to say, I don't know, Americans probably haven't seen this, and there was a bit of a legal thing going on in Australia, but it just reminded me of Skippy.
01:58:12.000 There's a show called Home and Away.
01:58:14.000 You've seen Home and Away?
01:58:14.000 Mm-hmm.
01:58:15.000 It's very popular in England.
01:58:16.000 I've heard of it.
01:58:17.000 I've never seen it, but I've heard of it.
01:58:17.000 It's like a 902 and 0-ish thing anyway.
01:58:19.000 Right.
01:58:19.000 There's this very wholesome character called Alf.
01:58:21.000 Oh, he's great.
01:58:22.000 Have you seen this?
01:58:24.000 You can swear on your podcast.
01:58:26.000 Are you serious?
01:58:27.000 Are you swearing all fucking dead?
01:58:28.000 Yeah, it's true.
01:58:28.000 But it's just second nature.
01:58:30.000 But if you can get Jamie to load up Alf.
01:58:34.000 Not Alf like the alien.
01:58:35.000 No, no, no.
01:58:36.000 That guy was creepy.
01:58:37.000 Yeah, no.
01:58:38.000 Alf is like a wholesome sort of fatherly character on a small town show that everyone likes, right?
01:58:44.000 And what kind of animal is he?
01:58:46.000 He's not an animal.
01:58:47.000 But he is in this, what we're going to show you.
01:58:48.000 So there was this whole thing in Australia.
01:58:50.000 What happened was he...
01:58:52.000 Give Jamie the name of it.
01:58:53.000 Okay, look up Alf, Mr. Doodleburger.
01:58:57.000 So basically what happened was a guy took all existing Home and Away stuff and he dubbed over it and made Alf into this character who's basically like a serial killer slash murder rapist that loves like little Colombian boys.
01:59:12.000 And now it's been quoted all over but it ended up on the news because they tried to sue the guy.
01:59:18.000 Yeah, that's kind of a douchey thing to do.
01:59:20.000 It is.
01:59:20.000 Poor Alf.
01:59:21.000 But it is hilarious.
01:59:22.000 And we have to show you.
01:59:24.000 Because Americans don't know what we're talking about.
01:59:26.000 We don't have Hollywood.
01:59:29.000 Okay, this is one of them.
01:59:32.000 That's Alf.
01:59:34.000 What's the music?
01:59:35.000 Oh, where's the sound?
01:59:37.000 Are you playing music for something else?
01:59:41.000 Okay, just a video.
01:59:42.000 Well, Americas, we don't really have too many of those videos available, probably.
01:59:46.000 Try and look up ALF awards.
01:59:48.000 Is this really important?
01:59:50.000 You have to see it, because it's a very Australian thing.
01:59:53.000 ALF awards?
01:59:53.000 Award ceremony.
01:59:55.000 And it caused a lot of problems in Australia, a lot of controversy.
01:59:58.000 And basically, your average Australian quotes it all the time.
02:00:01.000 But Americans have no idea.
02:00:03.000 They quote this video?
02:00:04.000 This video.
02:00:04.000 Because it's so ridiculous?
02:00:05.000 It's so ridiculous.
02:00:07.000 Wow.
02:00:08.000 I'm trying to judge whether you've got the patience for it right now.
02:00:11.000 I'm not sure, but you do have to see it.
02:00:14.000 Look up Alpha.
02:00:15.000 So you can never kill a kangaroo, basically.
02:00:17.000 I couldn't.
02:00:18.000 No, but the guys we go with do and they eat it and stuff like that.
02:00:21.000 Is this it?
02:00:22.000 This is it.
02:00:22.000 Can we put the volume?
02:00:24.000 Wait, is this it?
02:00:26.000 I'll tell you now.
02:00:31.000 This might be the real thing.
02:00:32.000 It might be the real thing, which instead of the fake thing.
02:00:39.000 No, I don't think this is it.
02:00:40.000 Forget it.
02:00:42.000 I'll Twitter it to you guys and you can check it out because it's outrageous.
02:00:45.000 So you couldn't do the pig hunting thing because of the way they do it where they stick dogs on them and then stab it?
02:00:53.000 Look, they stick dogs and they stab it.
02:00:54.000 That's a real common way to do it.
02:00:56.000 The country boys are a bit desensitized to it and they're real nice dudes as well.
02:00:59.000 They're nice guys.
02:01:02.000 I don't feel like that's hunting.
02:01:04.000 Yeah.
02:01:04.000 That's a weird way to do it.
02:01:06.000 Holding it down with a dog and then stabbing it in the neck.
02:01:08.000 You know, you can shoot them.
02:01:09.000 It's still dangerous though.
02:01:09.000 It sure is, but why don't they shoot them?
02:01:12.000 You can't.
02:01:13.000 So like with the terrain, it's quite hard to find them.
02:01:16.000 Well, you kill the dogs.
02:01:17.000 So a lot of the dogs, there's different types of dog hunting.
02:01:19.000 But why are they using dogs?
02:01:20.000 So they normally sniff them out and get them running.
02:01:23.000 But with the dog, you don't want to use the gun in case you shoot the dog as well.
02:01:26.000 So is it just such a dense terrain that you can't find them any other way?
02:01:30.000 Sometimes.
02:01:30.000 Yeah, generally.
02:01:31.000 I mean, look, I was against it and then I went to the farms and I was hanging out with the guys and they, you know, like anything, they've got their own logic, you know, and it makes sense.
02:01:42.000 The rationale is, look, it cost us a hundred grand last year.
02:01:46.000 And, you know, it's basically like, look, we're growing food for people and they're destroying it.
02:01:50.000 Yeah.
02:01:51.000 So therefore we kill them.
02:01:52.000 Well, they're very different than any other animal, and they're also very smart, and they breed all year round.
02:01:57.000 They have many litters of many pigs all year round.
02:02:00.000 They have a huge problem with it in America, especially in Texas.
02:02:04.000 Texas is so bad that they've allowed them to start shooting them out of helicopters with machine guns.
02:02:09.000 Have you seen that?
02:02:10.000 I haven't.
02:02:10.000 Want to see something fucked up?
02:02:11.000 Pull up Pigman and Ted Nugent.
02:02:15.000 It's Apocalypse Now.
02:02:17.000 Apocalypse Now?
02:02:18.000 Yeah.
02:02:19.000 They get on a fucking helicopter and they fly over these...
02:02:22.000 Well, these places are literally infested with pigs.
02:02:25.000 They have so many pigs in these farms and they destroy millions of dollars worth of crops every year.
02:02:32.000 There's at least 5 million pigs in Texas.
02:02:36.000 Wow.
02:02:36.000 You've also got that show with those hot chicks and the fake boobs running around catching pigs.
02:02:41.000 $1.5 billion in damage per year.
02:02:45.000 $1.5 billion?
02:02:46.000 Yeah, $1.5 billion.
02:02:48.000 I mean, that's incredible.
02:02:50.000 See, that's the thing.
02:02:51.000 Americans get these machine guns.
02:02:52.000 We've got bolt actions.
02:02:54.000 See, that guy, that's Pigman.
02:02:56.000 Pigman has a show where he just shoots pigs all year round.
02:03:00.000 That's Ted Nugent.
02:03:01.000 He's an American patriot.
02:03:02.000 Yeah, I've been hearing you talking about it.
02:03:05.000 Can I ask you, do you think someone can do this and be well balanced?
02:03:08.000 Like, as a person?
02:03:10.000 Mentally, maybe?
02:03:10.000 What?
02:03:11.000 No, I'm not talking about just hunting.
02:03:12.000 I mean, as in, like, hardcore animal slaughter...
02:03:17.000 Well, you know, it depends on what you're doing it for.
02:03:21.000 I mean, what these people are doing with this Apocalypse Now video where they're shooting them out of helicopters, they actually have to eradicate these pigs from these farms.
02:03:33.000 They're growing in population at a staggering rate and they can't control them.
02:03:37.000 They have no other options other than hiring hunters.
02:03:42.000 So they have companies that they hire to have people come in and shoot these pigs.
02:03:47.000 They bring people on.
02:03:48.000 And they give the meat to families.
02:03:51.000 Oh, so it's not just thrown in the...
02:03:52.000 No, no, no, no.
02:03:53.000 The hunters for the hungry.
02:03:54.000 Look, they're just delicious.
02:03:55.000 The meat is fantastic.
02:03:57.000 I shot a wild pig a few months back, and I made a ham recently.
02:04:01.000 I brined this ham for six days and then smoked it for a day.
02:04:05.000 It's...
02:04:06.000 Delicious.
02:04:06.000 I mean, it was so good.
02:04:08.000 I'm going to do it again in a couple of weeks.
02:04:09.000 I have another ham and a couple of shoulders.
02:04:11.000 You guys do meat much better than us.
02:04:13.000 We do barbecue well, but you guys are...
02:04:17.000 I went to Kansas and...
02:04:19.000 Oh, Kansas barbecue is legit.
02:04:21.000 Kansas City?
02:04:22.000 Yeah.
02:04:24.000 After...
02:04:24.000 What's the one?
02:04:25.000 They've got that popular...
02:04:26.000 I don't know the name of it.
02:04:28.000 There's a bunch of really good Kansas City barbecue spots.
02:04:31.000 I've never heard of burnt ends before.
02:04:32.000 Oh, yeah, man.
02:04:33.000 You guys have got a deep culture of food here.
02:04:37.000 Aussies are a bit simple like that.
02:04:38.000 Steak on the barbecue.
02:04:39.000 Texas is no joke too.
02:04:40.000 You want to get some barbecued pig in Texas.
02:04:43.000 This Porkman, this Pigman guy, Porkman, Pigman has a show now called Boss Hog and it's all about his, he has a barbecue place and he shoots the pigs then brings them to the barbecue place and they serve these wild pigs that they barbecue.
02:04:56.000 Sounds awesome.
02:04:57.000 It's so good.
02:04:59.000 It's so healthy for you too.
02:05:00.000 Really?
02:05:01.000 Yeah, they're much healthier animals.
02:05:02.000 What pork is?
02:05:03.000 These wild pigs.
02:05:05.000 Because it's a dark meat.
02:05:07.000 They had this campaign in America called pork, the other white meat, and they would show pork as white meat.
02:05:12.000 That's unhealthy pork.
02:05:14.000 If the pork is white, it's like anemic.
02:05:16.000 It's like veal.
02:05:18.000 Wild pork is dark.
02:05:20.000 It's like a deeper, redder color.
02:05:23.000 Have you had it?
02:05:23.000 I haven't had it.
02:05:24.000 It's really good.
02:05:25.000 You haven't had it?
02:05:26.000 You have to make sure you cook it all the way through because of trichinosis.
02:05:29.000 Because trichinosis comes from animals eating other animals that have trichinosis.
02:05:34.000 So these animals could possibly get it from rats or rabbits or anything else.
02:05:39.000 They eat a lot of deer, babies.
02:05:43.000 They eat ground eggs, ground laying birds.
02:05:47.000 We've caught one eating each other.
02:05:49.000 Oh yeah, they'll eat anything.
02:05:50.000 They're animals.
02:05:51.000 Pigs, they're smart as shit too.
02:05:53.000 They see you coming.
02:05:54.000 They see you, they hear you, they smell you, they fucking bolt.
02:05:58.000 We saw one of the farmers, there was a whole family, and he went to shoot at them, and the two adult pigs ran one direction, and the kids ran the line up and escaped, and obviously they didn't talk to each other and plan it, but it was brilliant.
02:06:12.000 That's funny.
02:06:13.000 Yeah, it looked almost planned.
02:06:15.000 Well, they're smart as dogs.
02:06:18.000 They're smart, you know?
02:06:19.000 They're tricky animals.
02:06:20.000 And delicious.
02:06:22.000 And delicious.
02:06:22.000 See, we're smart Australians.
02:06:24.000 We kill them, and then we shoot them off to Germany.
02:06:26.000 The only people smart enough to eat them.
02:06:28.000 The Thais eat pork much?
02:06:29.000 I don't even know.
02:06:29.000 I didn't know about the worm thing that you guys have.
02:06:31.000 Yeah, there's a lot of worms in the kangaroos as well.
02:06:33.000 Really?
02:06:34.000 The kangaroos, cheap meat for us, you know?
02:06:36.000 What does it taste like?
02:06:37.000 It's very gamey.
02:06:38.000 You've got to know how to cook it properly.
02:06:40.000 What's it like?
02:06:40.000 But it's...
02:06:42.000 It's not the nicest meat, but it's 99% fat-free apparently.
02:06:48.000 Oh, I'm sure.
02:06:49.000 Probably very lean.
02:06:50.000 Strong.
02:06:51.000 All the lifters, it's promoted to them.
02:06:53.000 Really?
02:06:54.000 Kangaroo meat.
02:06:54.000 Yeah, it's low fat.
02:06:56.000 I worry because basically they kill it and then refrigerate it.
02:07:00.000 Fresh.
02:07:02.000 Well, they kill it and then put it in the thing, but it's not...
02:07:06.000 Like bread, you know what I mean?
02:07:07.000 It's like, you know, it's some hunter on a farm killing it, chucking it.
02:07:11.000 I don't really know what the process is.
02:07:13.000 It's not bread.
02:07:14.000 What do you mean it's not bread?
02:07:14.000 No, I mean like as in there's no farms with kangaroos where they kill, you know, give it health checks and then kill it and then produce it.
02:07:21.000 I'm not saying that's better or worse.
02:07:22.000 I just mean as in, you know, it shows up in your Woolworths.
02:07:25.000 What do you guys have?
02:07:27.000 Not Walmarts.
02:07:27.000 Do you guys have like Metro or...
02:07:30.000 It's like our local supermarket.
02:07:31.000 Local supermarket.
02:07:32.000 We've got Woolworths.
02:07:33.000 I don't know what you guys have.
02:07:33.000 But I kind of think like, you know, how well is this?
02:07:38.000 Do they have a Department of Agriculture or anything like that?
02:07:41.000 I'm sure they do, yeah.
02:07:41.000 And do they check them, inspect them?
02:07:43.000 I'm sure they do.
02:07:44.000 You couldn't sell it.
02:07:45.000 Yeah, my friend's a professional, Terry, who we go to the farm slot.
02:07:48.000 He's got a little Thai boxing gym out there.
02:07:50.000 And we've been going there for a couple of years.
02:07:52.000 And he was a professional hunter for a long time.
02:07:55.000 And bull rider.
02:07:56.000 Yeah, and bull rider who got me into it.
02:07:58.000 And he turned around and was like, man, I've never eaten kangaroo.
02:08:01.000 Like, I've been shooting these things since I was a kid.
02:08:04.000 He said, man, if you saw what was in them, like, and how we did it, you probably wouldn't eat it.
02:08:09.000 Now, that's only one person.
02:08:10.000 What was in them?
02:08:11.000 In what way?
02:08:12.000 A lot of them had worms, but it might just be that.
02:08:14.000 They checked the intestines.
02:08:14.000 Yeah, it might just be that area.
02:08:16.000 I don't know how we got on this topic so much, but it's a good topic.
02:08:19.000 Pigs?
02:08:20.000 Worms?
02:08:20.000 I don't know where we started.
02:08:21.000 Well, those kangaroos.
02:08:21.000 The thing is funny enough, I was saying to Dylan, when we went out to the farm, you know, I'm very conscious of my diet.
02:08:27.000 I'm sure you guys are too, you know.
02:08:29.000 We went out to the farm, the farm boys, they tend to not really think about diet.
02:08:34.000 So they'll eat red meat sometimes and a Red Bull and that's all they'll eat for three days.
02:08:39.000 They don't eat vegetables.
02:08:40.000 I mean, they do obviously sit down and have a meal here and there, you know.
02:08:43.000 But we went out there and Dylan and I were sitting there and we bought our supplies in our little bag and, you know, we had our snacks and all this and that.
02:08:50.000 And we were eating all the time.
02:08:52.000 Eating all the time, right?
02:08:53.000 And the boys didn't really eat much.
02:08:55.000 And after a while, we realized we were eating because we're anxious.
02:08:59.000 We're not used to having nothing to do.
02:09:01.000 And we'd just automatically pull out a bar and just start eating it, you know?
02:09:05.000 And after a while, we just started doing what the boys did.
02:09:07.000 And I started thinking, man, I'm going to get sick.
02:09:10.000 I'm going to feel gross.
02:09:10.000 I'm going to feel unhealthy.
02:09:11.000 But after a couple of days, I started to realize, like, I think we put a bit too much emphasis on what we eat because we ate red meat straight for four days almost.
02:09:22.000 And we had a little bit of this and that.
02:09:24.000 And because we weren't eating a lot of it, we actually felt quite healthy.
02:09:28.000 Like, hasn't our body adapted to kind of just doing what we were doing?
02:09:31.000 I was really concerned.
02:09:32.000 I was like, man, I'm going to feel queasy.
02:09:34.000 I'm going to get constipated.
02:09:35.000 You know, like all that sort of stuff.
02:09:36.000 But when you're out there and you're doing it, you're just eating it, it seems like maybe we overemphasize veggies a little too much.
02:09:43.000 No, I don't think so.
02:09:44.000 It's certainly not a balanced diet.
02:09:46.000 I mean, you could get away with it for a few days.
02:09:48.000 Yeah.
02:09:48.000 But if you took that on for several months, you'd probably see some nutritional deficiencies.
02:09:52.000 Yeah.
02:09:52.000 I think the funniest thing was like, first I brought my brother up there and I've got like, you know, my jacket on, I've got like ammunition, I've got my nice survival kit, bandages for snakes.
02:10:02.000 And I'm like pulling out to check, I've got everything, my torches.
02:10:05.000 Liam pulls out a, he pulls out a sandwich bag with salad.
02:10:11.000 I can't eat without salad.
02:10:12.000 We're trying to impress the farm boys, man.
02:10:14.000 You bring out a salad.
02:10:15.000 I bought my own vegetables because I was like, I can't eat meat without vegetables.
02:10:19.000 I had my little bag of salad and my cucumber.
02:10:21.000 That's hilarious.
02:10:22.000 How long did that stuff stay good for?
02:10:24.000 Oh, we had a call for like three days or something.
02:10:26.000 Oh, okay.
02:10:28.000 But anyway, it was just one of those things where their diet, my body just adapted to whatever it had to do, you know?
02:10:33.000 That's interesting, man.
02:10:34.000 I would think that after a while, your body would go, dickhead, you need a fucking salad or two.
02:10:39.000 Yeah.
02:10:39.000 Well, I'm only talking three days.
02:10:41.000 You know, I'm talking about three days, four days.
02:10:42.000 Yeah, you'd be fine.
02:10:43.000 Three or four days, you'd be fine.
02:10:44.000 I felt good, actually, weirdly.
02:10:46.000 Really?
02:10:46.000 Yeah.
02:10:46.000 I don't know.
02:10:47.000 But I was eating a lot less than I normally would in the city.
02:10:49.000 Like, I'd eat little pieces of meat.
02:10:51.000 They'd kill and barbecue and eat it.
02:10:52.000 What kind of meat was it again?
02:10:53.000 It was rabbit, deer.
02:10:55.000 It was rabbit, deer.
02:10:56.000 So you're just getting really healthy wild game.
02:10:58.000 Man, rabbit is out of control.
02:10:59.000 There's so much vitamins and so much nutrition in wild game too because they're eating wild grasses and wild plants that are just filled with natural nutrients.
02:11:11.000 Rabbit's actually one of the best things I've ever eaten.
02:11:13.000 I was a bit disappointed by deer.
02:11:14.000 Deer heart was good, man.
02:11:16.000 Well, how are you disappointed with deer?
02:11:18.000 It was, look, we didn't, you gotta stand, like, we didn't hang it properly and all that sort of thing.
02:11:22.000 But our deers aren't like your guys' deers.
02:11:24.000 Our deers are weak-ass deers, you know what I mean?
02:11:26.000 Like, Australia's animals are a little bit weak, I think.
02:11:29.000 They're not really meaty.
02:11:30.000 They're not meaty sort of animals.
02:11:32.000 Yeah, anyway.
02:11:33.000 That's just my opinion.
02:11:34.000 That's interesting.
02:11:35.000 Some farmer's gonna punch me and...
02:11:37.000 Yeah, you don't know shit about deer.
02:11:39.000 Yeah.
02:11:40.000 But it's not common to get deer, man.
02:11:41.000 We were in Canada and there was deer on the side of the road.
02:11:44.000 Dead?
02:11:44.000 No, walking.
02:11:45.000 Or set for sale.
02:11:45.000 Oh, walking.
02:11:46.000 There was deer on there.
02:11:47.000 Oh yeah, you can get that all over the place.
02:11:49.000 Well, certain places like in Pennsylvania, there's certain parts of Pennsylvania where they change their deer hunting season to all year round.
02:11:55.000 Really?
02:11:56.000 They just let people shoot them because they're fucking everywhere.
02:11:58.000 And they have a bow season all year round and they do it in these areas that are suburban areas.
02:12:04.000 There was a show on it on one of these hunting shows.
02:12:07.000 Yup.
02:12:07.000 These guys set up these estates, these beautiful homes that have these giant pieces of property, like 20, 30 acres, and they had fucking so many deer hitting cars, or cars hitting deer, rather.
02:12:20.000 Deers eating people's lawns and all kinds of shit, eating their gardens, rather, eating their roses.
02:12:25.000 That they brought in these hunters to set up tree stands in these suburban neighborhoods.
02:12:30.000 That's crazy.
02:12:31.000 They're our equivalent.
02:12:32.000 Awesome for us because we love to find deer and shoot.
02:12:35.000 We never find deer.
02:12:36.000 It's pretty hard to find.
02:12:37.000 Yeah.
02:12:38.000 People think we're nuts.
02:12:39.000 That's a funny thing.
02:12:39.000 He's the biggest animal lover you've ever met.
02:12:41.000 He's got this big dog, Ralphie.
02:12:43.000 He loves dogs.
02:12:43.000 Works for dog charities and animal charities and then he goes hunting.
02:12:47.000 Yeah, well, people have a hard time with the idea of cruelty, and rightfully so.
02:12:52.000 I mean, I think people are scared that people are hunters or evil people that want to kill animals.
02:12:57.000 But the reality is, if you're wearing leather, you're killing animals.
02:13:00.000 You might not do it with your own hand, but you're doing it.
02:13:03.000 You're sitting in a chair right now that's covered in murdered animal skins.
02:13:06.000 I've had vegans sit in those very chairs that you're sitting in.
02:13:09.000 You rest their butt on murdered cows.
02:13:12.000 You know, the shoes you wear, the belt you wear...
02:13:15.000 And then on top of that, if you buy organic vegetables and you think you're away from killing, they fucking run machines over those vegetables to collect them, and they're chopping up a lot of rabbits, a lot of mice.
02:13:27.000 More animals are killed per pound of vegetables than are killed per pound of meat.
02:13:33.000 I heard.
02:13:33.000 What is it about vegans that we just love pissing off or teasing, man?
02:13:37.000 Is there something about them?
02:13:38.000 Well, they're self-righteous.
02:13:40.000 And there's also this moral high ground that they like to take.
02:13:44.000 Not all of them.
02:13:44.000 Some of them are super cool.
02:13:45.000 I've met a lot of really cool vegans, but some of them are really fucking annoying.
02:13:49.000 And they want to tell you that they're better than you because they're vegan.
02:13:52.000 And they're proselytizing, too.
02:13:54.000 They're always trying to get other people to be vegan.
02:13:56.000 And just by the way, the straight vegan diet, not that healthy.
02:14:01.000 Omnivore's diet is a better diet.
02:14:03.000 And Omnivore's also, you can eat shit like eggs that have no animal cruelty attached to them whatsoever.
02:14:08.000 I have organic eggs because I have chickens that are pets.
02:14:11.000 I pick my chickens up.
02:14:12.000 You eat your own ones.
02:14:13.000 Yeah, I have 14 chickens.
02:14:14.000 I can pick them up and hold them, and they give me eggs every day.
02:14:18.000 That's what he wants to do.
02:14:20.000 It's great, and there's no cruelty involved at all.
02:14:22.000 I mean, they lay eggs every day.
02:14:25.000 There's no potential whatsoever of that egg ever becoming a chicken.
02:14:29.000 The only way that egg can become a chicken is if you have a rooster.
02:14:32.000 So we only have hens.
02:14:33.000 So the hens hang out.
02:14:34.000 They have a good time.
02:14:35.000 They have a big yard to run around in.
02:14:36.000 They eat bugs and worms and everything they find.
02:14:40.000 And grass as well.
02:14:42.000 And then also we give them chicken food.
02:14:44.000 Do you eat the actual chickens?
02:14:46.000 No.
02:14:46.000 You wouldn't kill one of them?
02:14:47.000 I would.
02:14:48.000 Yeah, I almost killed one of them.
02:14:49.000 One of them pecked my daughter in the face.
02:14:51.000 I came real close.
02:14:52.000 My wife was like, that little bitch, she did it again.
02:14:54.000 And I was like, alright, let's do it.
02:14:56.000 I was ready.
02:14:57.000 I was just trying to figure out how to do it.
02:14:58.000 I was going online and...
02:15:00.000 It was almost like the chicken figured out that we were going to fuck it up and it completely backed off of all of its aggressive behavior.
02:15:07.000 It's like it totally felt the vibe.
02:15:09.000 It was really weird, man.
02:15:10.000 It's like I was seconds away.
02:15:12.000 I bought an axe.
02:15:13.000 I was ready to rock and roll.
02:15:15.000 I was completely ready to cook this chicken up.
02:15:18.000 I've never eaten a fresh chicken like that.
02:15:21.000 Well, I assume that it's a lot like other things that are organic and fresh.
02:15:27.000 They just taste better.
02:15:27.000 The eggs taste way better.
02:15:29.000 When you eat organic, fresh eggs, they just...
02:15:31.000 First of all, the yolk is very dark.
02:15:34.000 It's a dark orange.
02:15:36.000 It's just healthier.
02:15:37.000 It's very healthy.
02:15:38.000 I ate seven of them this morning.
02:15:40.000 You ate seven eggs?
02:15:41.000 Yeah, I eat six, seven eggs a day.
02:15:43.000 Yeah, I eat them all the time.
02:15:45.000 You know, the funny thing is we were forced vegetarians.
02:15:48.000 For the first 10 years.
02:15:48.000 For the first 10 years of our life.
02:15:49.000 That's why we looked like hobbits.
02:15:51.000 Your family wanted you to be...
02:15:53.000 My dad was big into karate and, you know, like the karate guys, they have this kind of like, they follow different, you know, like they catch on to a certain philosophy.
02:16:00.000 And his whole thing made sense.
02:16:02.000 It was just about hormones.
02:16:02.000 What was the philosophy?
02:16:03.000 No, look, he just, you know, he thought, he read all these books and there was no internet back then.
02:16:08.000 And, you know, he had this idea that there are too many hormones in the meat, which is right.
02:16:13.000 You've been to Brazil.
02:16:14.000 Have you ever seen a chicken breast in Brazil?
02:16:16.000 Yeah.
02:16:16.000 It's about the size of this table, you know, like it's, and you see all these homeless dudes walking around and they look like they're bodybuilders.
02:16:22.000 Well, you know what's interesting?
02:16:23.000 There's a misconception about chicken breasts, and it really is not that they pump them up with hormones.
02:16:29.000 Cattle is what they use hormones on, but chickens, it's just breeding.
02:16:33.000 They've just bred larger-breasted chickens until they only genetically select the larger-breasted chickens, and to the point where these chickens, they're so large-breasted that they can't fly.
02:16:45.000 Chickens can fly.
02:16:46.000 They don't fly for very long, but they can fly for short distances.
02:16:49.000 My chickens, they have roosts, and they can jump up to the roosts.
02:16:54.000 They flop up to the roosts and then sit there.
02:16:57.000 But these chickens aren't going nowhere.
02:16:59.000 They're fucking these giant fat tits chickens.
02:17:02.000 But it's genetic selection more than hormones.
02:17:06.000 Not that chickens haven't been shot up with hormones before.
02:17:09.000 With chickens, it's more antibiotics that they have to deal with because they're on top of each other and they're getting sick all the time.
02:17:15.000 And they're also feeding them chicken.
02:17:17.000 It's like they're feeding chickens chickens.
02:17:20.000 They're feeding them chicken shit and chicken heads and chicken assholes.
02:17:24.000 If you feed them a healthy diet, the omnivorous diet that a regular chicken eats, you get healthier eggs, you get healthier animals.
02:17:32.000 Oh, you do that?
02:17:32.000 Yeah, I feed them only grass.
02:17:34.000 My chickens eat natural things that they find when they go out and peck, and they forage.
02:17:39.000 I have a big yard, and they run around the yard, and they kill bugs and stuff.
02:17:43.000 We also feed them table scraps, so they eat beef.
02:17:48.000 They've eaten deer before.
02:17:49.000 I fed them pork.
02:17:51.000 You ate that deer.
02:17:51.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:17:53.000 They eat protein.
02:17:55.000 It's funny.
02:17:56.000 In Thailand, you don't see a lot of chicken.
02:17:58.000 There is chicken in the food, but it's mainly for Westerners to eat it.
02:18:01.000 But the Thais all have their own chickens.
02:18:03.000 What do they do with them?
02:18:04.000 They go fighting chickens.
02:18:06.000 It's on TV. And they always do it behind so no one can see.
02:18:09.000 You know, like, oh, quick, someone's coming.
02:18:11.000 The white people are coming.
02:18:12.000 Like, put it in your cage.
02:18:13.000 Yeah, but they're not the ones with the hooks on.
02:18:16.000 They just like kickboxing.
02:18:18.000 Kickboxing chickens.
02:18:19.000 Oh, that's interesting.
02:18:19.000 And they've got the fish as well.
02:18:20.000 Yeah, my camps.
02:18:21.000 I have a friend who does that.
02:18:24.000 Well, he's not a friend.
02:18:25.000 He's a friend of a friend.
02:18:27.000 And he has 100 chickens in his backyard.
02:18:30.000 Yeah, right.
02:18:31.000 He's from Mexico.
02:18:32.000 He barely speaks English.
02:18:34.000 I don't know why, but that makes sense to me.
02:18:35.000 And all of his friends are from Mexico too.
02:18:38.000 It's kind of interesting.
02:18:39.000 He got in trouble for killing a goat and cooking it in his yard because he butchered the goat in his yard and they were upset at him for doing that.
02:18:48.000 And he didn't understand, because he's from Mexico, and he goes, but you eat meat.
02:18:54.000 If you eat meat, why do you care how the animal gets killed?
02:18:57.000 I can't kill it in my yard?
02:18:59.000 And they told him, there's all these regulations, you can't just kill a goat in your yard.
02:19:03.000 He's like, okay, what do I have to do?
02:19:05.000 I have to bring it somewhere to kill it?
02:19:06.000 This is crazy.
02:19:07.000 Why can't I just kill it here?
02:19:09.000 There's a lot of room.
02:19:10.000 I'll just kill this goat.
02:19:10.000 Don't you think we kind of lost that?
02:19:12.000 It's a weird thing.
02:19:13.000 Like my wife slash girlfriend wife now.
02:19:16.000 I've been married for like two...
02:19:17.000 I got married two days before we went overseas.
02:19:19.000 So she went on a honeymoon to Italy and I went to Canada.
02:19:23.000 So I actually haven't seen her since then, which is really random.
02:19:26.000 But her mom can kill a chicken and cook it up like you wouldn't believe, right?
02:19:30.000 She's Aussie, but her mom's Vietnamese, right?
02:19:34.000 My grandma, and I'm sure your grandparents could kill a chicken, skin it.
02:19:38.000 They'd be able to make 40 dishes with it.
02:19:41.000 They'd use the fat, the skin.
02:19:42.000 My dad was telling me, well, our whole family would die of heart disease.
02:19:46.000 The oldest one's like 62. And he was telling me their favorite dish was you'd take all the leftovers, put it on a pan, fry it, skin, bones, everything, right?
02:19:55.000 You'd fry it until it liquefies, and then you'd pour it into a bottle, and then dip it in ice, and then you'd take it and you'd just wipe it on your bread.
02:20:02.000 Oh, okay.
02:20:03.000 It's like Nutella.
02:20:04.000 Yeah, well, like a pate or something like that.
02:20:07.000 Well, like a fat pate, but the thing he was saying was his grandma and their whole generation, they wouldn't have a problem with just...
02:20:15.000 Take it, skin it.
02:20:16.000 Use every part of its body.
02:20:18.000 That's being lost.
02:20:19.000 The reason why people don't like hunting, although they do eat meat.
02:20:22.000 I have friends that eat meat and will never hunt.
02:20:24.000 They wouldn't do it.
02:20:25.000 They couldn't do it.
02:20:25.000 I'm like, I understand you don't want to be cruel.
02:20:29.000 And I understand that they enjoy that separation.
02:20:32.000 But to criticize people who don't enjoy that separation, I think it's kind of crazy.
02:20:36.000 There's a weird disconnect.
02:20:38.000 But there's a lot of people that eat meat and have eaten meat and don't have a problem with ordering a cheeseburger, but they really look down on people that hunt.
02:20:45.000 Yeah.
02:20:45.000 I think it's the easiest...
02:20:46.000 I think...
02:20:47.000 It's not the easiest way, obviously, but I think it's the easiest on your...
02:20:51.000 The ethical dilemma is the easiest because you're dealing with an animal like that deer right there had no idea a human being was even a thing until it saw us and then it was dead moments later.
02:21:03.000 You know, I shot that deer in the middle of the forest in Montana.
02:21:07.000 I mean, that fucking deer was living in the wild country of Montana and...
02:21:11.000 And it was delicious.
02:21:13.000 And I had no problem with it.
02:21:14.000 I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
02:21:16.000 And the idea that somehow or another it's okay to eat a cow, but it's not okay to do that.
02:21:20.000 And then other people will tell you, oh, but I don't eat organic, grass-fed deer.
02:21:24.000 Or grass-fed cows.
02:21:26.000 Let me tell you something about that.
02:21:28.000 I have a friend who keeps organic grass-fed cows, and those motherfuckers are terrified.
02:21:33.000 When you go near them, they run.
02:21:35.000 They run and they all huddle up together.
02:21:37.000 You know why?
02:21:38.000 Because they know that they're going to die.
02:21:40.000 They know someone's going to shoot them and eat them.
02:21:42.000 This idea that if you eat organic grass-fed cows, you're somehow or another removed from the cruelty.
02:21:47.000 Yeah, they aren't kept in a pen.
02:21:49.000 They aren't...
02:21:50.000 They're jammed into some pig box, like pigs are, and they do run around free, and they do eat grass, but they're fucking shit in their pants any time a person comes near them.
02:22:00.000 We did some city boys, did some cow herding.
02:22:04.000 Man, not only is that fucking terrifying, if you're in a pen with these cows, I mean, they don't attack humans, but they're big.
02:22:11.000 Have you ever been in a pen?
02:22:12.000 They're massive, man.
02:22:13.000 Cows are big animals.
02:22:14.000 This crazy bitch is riding on them.
02:22:16.000 I actually was.
02:22:17.000 He's riding the males.
02:22:17.000 Remember, I was like the first one.
02:22:19.000 I jumped on them and messed around on them.
02:22:22.000 He jumped on a cow too?
02:22:23.000 There's a whole bunch.
02:22:24.000 Do cows buck like bulls do?
02:22:26.000 Nah, these are old ones.
02:22:28.000 But they'll run each other into a corner and kill each other.
02:22:31.000 They're so silly.
02:22:32.000 Well, they're very big.
02:22:33.000 Would you eat dog?
02:22:34.000 Would I? Yeah, that's a good question.
02:22:36.000 I love dogs.
02:22:37.000 If I was in another country, and maybe it was for a television show or something like that, and they were serving dogs...
02:22:44.000 I would have a real hard time with it still.
02:22:46.000 I might do it just to see what it tastes like and just to, you know, if I was over someone's home and they offered it to me and it was part of their culture, I don't think that I would insult them and say that I wouldn't eat it.
02:22:57.000 And if I eat pig, I mean pig and dog are supposed to be, like a dog is supposed to be actually as intelligent or more, or excuse me, a pig is supposed to be as intelligent or more than a dog.
02:23:09.000 Yeah.
02:23:09.000 So it would be a bit hypocritical, but I have a deep connection with dogs.
02:23:13.000 I've had dogs my whole life, and I have two dogs now, and I love dogs.
02:23:17.000 I love them.
02:23:18.000 Yeah, this guy sat me down for an intervention about a week ago.
02:23:23.000 Yeah, I've got a massive French Mastiff.
02:23:25.000 I love him.
02:23:25.000 I think he eats $2,000 a week.
02:23:27.000 He eats a lot.
02:23:29.000 And he, you know, Turner and Hooch.
02:23:31.000 Yeah, I have a Mastiff too.
02:23:34.000 Yeah, I have a Regency Mastiff.
02:23:36.000 It's a little smaller.
02:23:37.000 They're...
02:23:38.000 Like 120, 140 pounds?
02:23:39.000 Oh, this guy goes up to about 90 kilograms.
02:23:42.000 What's that?
02:23:43.000 It's 200 about.
02:23:44.000 Yeah.
02:23:44.000 It's a big boy.
02:23:45.000 It's a big dog.
02:23:46.000 Yeah, man.
02:23:47.000 But he had a lot of joint problems, right?
02:23:49.000 Those poor dogs.
02:23:50.000 Not yet.
02:23:51.000 Yeah, mine's starting to get a little arthritis in his hips.
02:23:54.000 Not bad.
02:23:55.000 He runs and you can tell it gets a little stiff.
02:23:59.000 They're very slobbery.
02:24:00.000 But they're the sweetest dogs ever.
02:24:02.000 My dog is so great with my kids.
02:24:05.000 They go up and grab his face and kiss him.
02:24:07.000 He's got no anger in him.
02:24:09.000 The Regency Mastiff was raised to have no human aggression.
02:24:14.000 They're just sweet dogs.
02:24:15.000 No dog aggression either.
02:24:17.000 They're great with other dogs too.
02:24:19.000 What was my intervention?
02:24:20.000 I'm not allowed to put up any dog pictures.
02:24:24.000 You know what the problem is?
02:24:25.000 Put up too many dog pictures?
02:24:26.000 Do you know what the problem is, right?
02:24:27.000 The boys back at home are like, typical to get your dog even mentioned in this show today.
02:24:32.000 Yeah, of course.
02:24:32.000 They're going to be like, oh, you mentioned Ralph.
02:24:35.000 Because you love your dog.
02:24:37.000 It is a weird thing, right?
02:24:38.000 You love dogs, but you also love hunting.
02:24:40.000 I'm obsessed with dogs.
02:24:41.000 You can't deny that.
02:24:43.000 Well, there's a bond that humans have with dogs and especially that's a thing that people don't understand that dogs and hunting have gone hand in hand forever.
02:24:50.000 That's right.
02:24:50.000 One of the reasons why we have such a tight bond with dogs in the first place is that dogs were used not just to keep animals away like keep wolves away from camps but to help people hunt.
02:25:00.000 He was devastated when we were in Vietnam.
02:25:03.000 They served us some starters and afterwards we didn't know what they were and he discovered he'd eaten his man's best friend.
02:25:10.000 So that took about a year to...
02:25:11.000 It tasted funny.
02:25:12.000 It didn't taste right.
02:25:15.000 I can't explain it.
02:25:16.000 This guy, he retires from fighting.
02:25:19.000 So the first thing he does is replace fighting with pictures of dogs.
02:25:23.000 It's like, we're running a business.
02:25:24.000 You know what I mean?
02:25:25.000 Yeah.
02:25:26.000 What, on your Instagram or something?
02:25:27.000 I love it.
02:25:28.000 Like, put some pictures of your tattoos up or something, you know, like, not fucking dog.
02:25:32.000 I actually did.
02:25:32.000 I actually was like, look, Dylan, listen, you know, like, you know, you love Muay Thai, I get that, but you've got to understand, people want to see a Thai boxer that's got a little bit of, like...
02:25:43.000 Bokau about him, you know?
02:25:44.000 And then, you know, it's him with his bloody...
02:25:46.000 What does that mean?
02:25:46.000 Bokau, you know?
02:25:47.000 Bokau, Paul Pramak.
02:25:48.000 Dylan with his tattoo and looking six-pack and stuff.
02:25:51.000 Right.
02:25:52.000 This guy's with his fucking slobbery dog runner.
02:25:54.000 You know, like...
02:25:55.000 I'm like, okay, you're allowed one picture a week.
02:25:57.000 On your Instagram.
02:25:58.000 The rest are of Muay Thai.
02:26:00.000 He never said that.
02:26:00.000 He never said any rules.
02:26:01.000 And I said the rest are of Muay Thai.
02:26:03.000 I don't know if he's fucking...
02:26:04.000 For the business.
02:26:05.000 Why don't you just do it on your personal account?
02:26:07.000 No, they're kind of the same thing.
02:26:08.000 Oh, yeah.
02:26:09.000 It's all interconnected.
02:26:10.000 He's got his own Instagram.
02:26:12.000 He's got his own Instagram.
02:26:14.000 And it's all dogs.
02:26:15.000 It's all the dog does.
02:26:17.000 Everyone loves Ralphie.
02:26:19.000 Yeah.
02:26:20.000 I love dogs, too.
02:26:21.000 I love animals.
02:26:22.000 And that's something that people have a weird problem with.
02:26:25.000 But they don't have a weird problem with loving animals and then feeding their animals animals.
02:26:28.000 Like, I have friends who fucking are vegans and they have cats.
02:26:32.000 Yeah.
02:26:32.000 And I'm like, do you under-fucking-stand that cats only eat meat?
02:26:36.000 It's not like a dog.
02:26:38.000 A dog can eat carrots.
02:26:39.000 A dog can eat grains.
02:26:41.000 Dogs eat rice.
02:26:42.000 I have a friend who cooks for his dog.
02:26:45.000 I've seen that happen.
02:26:46.000 He gets his dog ground beef and mixes it with potatoes and rice, and it's delicious.
02:26:51.000 You do that for your dog?
02:26:52.000 Hell yeah.
02:26:53.000 Cool, it's good.
02:26:53.000 He doesn't eat probably himself.
02:26:55.000 But you can't do that with a cat.
02:26:56.000 If you can do it with a cat, it has to be just animal protein.
02:27:00.000 That's it.
02:27:00.000 That's the only thing a cat is allowed to eat.
02:27:02.000 Yeah you can't feed cats grains.
02:27:05.000 Cats are not supposed to eat rice.
02:27:07.000 They're not supposed to eat carrots.
02:27:08.000 Cats eat fish, and they eat chicken, and they eat beef, and they eat liver, and they eat animal protein.
02:27:14.000 They're carnivores.
02:27:16.000 They're straight carnivores.
02:27:17.000 So for you to be a vegan and have a fucking cat living in your house, you're involved in the killing of animals whether you like it or not.
02:27:25.000 I mean, I guess there's probably some vegan cat food, but I can't imagine it.
02:27:29.000 Let's Google that right now.
02:27:31.000 They'd probably kill the cat.
02:27:32.000 It's probably not good.
02:27:33.000 Vegan...
02:27:34.000 Cat food bad.
02:27:35.000 Let's look up that.
02:27:36.000 Cat's one of Dill's phobias.
02:27:38.000 Yeah.
02:27:38.000 That's one of my two phobias, cats.
02:27:41.000 Okay.
02:27:41.000 Vegan cat food.
02:27:43.000 Yeah.
02:27:44.000 I just would imagine that shit is not good.
02:27:47.000 They're basically mini lions.
02:27:48.000 Oh, look at this.
02:27:49.000 It says, actually, and the vegan cat foods contained adequate amounts.
02:27:53.000 Is it okay to raise a cat vegan?
02:27:55.000 Hmm.
02:27:56.000 Hmm.
02:27:57.000 I think it's hilarious, by the way.
02:27:59.000 I think that is fucking hilarious.
02:28:01.000 Now, artist and activist with more than one feline in the family in Ithaca, New York.
02:28:05.000 Moore and her partner, Shariah Golding.
02:28:07.000 That means they're lesbians.
02:28:08.000 What a surprise!
02:28:09.000 Lesbian vegans with cats.
02:28:11.000 That's crazy!
02:28:12.000 You never hear about that!
02:28:14.000 Relatively small but deeply dedicated group of vegan pet owners who believe their cats and dogs' diets should reflect their own beliefs about the treatment of animals and the environmentally sustainable lifestyles.
02:28:27.000 Is it okay to give your diet a vegan?
02:28:29.000 Spare me all the faux outrage.
02:28:32.000 The outrage of the billions of land animals and trillions of sea animals tortured and killed each year in the U.S. How are they tortured?
02:28:37.000 Alone for food to feed people and pets.
02:28:40.000 I don't know, man.
02:28:42.000 You know, you leave a cat outside, that cat's going to kill a bird.
02:28:45.000 That sweet kitty cat that you have is a murderer.
02:28:48.000 Yeah.
02:28:48.000 My cat makes these crazy noises when he looks outside.
02:28:51.000 He sees something, like a squirrel.
02:28:53.000 His little jaw starts going...
02:28:55.000 Man.
02:28:56.000 Their jaws start moving up and down like they can't help it.
02:28:59.000 They're just thinking about biting.
02:29:02.000 Have you ever had fight dreams?
02:29:04.000 Like when you wake up kicking?
02:29:06.000 You know those dreams?
02:29:07.000 Of course.
02:29:07.000 Well, cats have those when they see a fucking animal that they want to kill.
02:29:11.000 It's like...
02:29:12.000 They have reflex.
02:29:14.000 I hate cats.
02:29:15.000 They make noises.
02:29:17.000 He just looks out the window.
02:29:19.000 Have you ever watched them stalk?
02:29:22.000 Yeah.
02:29:22.000 Just stalk your leg.
02:29:24.000 Yeah.
02:29:24.000 And then watch a lion.
02:29:27.000 There is very little difference.
02:29:28.000 You're like a lion crawling through the grass or a cat crawling through your carpet.
02:29:32.000 Yeah.
02:29:33.000 Like, they look identical.
02:29:34.000 Oh, yeah.
02:29:35.000 Absolutely identical.
02:29:36.000 They're murderers, bro.
02:29:37.000 They are fucking murderers.
02:29:39.000 Apparently, what they're saying is, for a lot of these people that are making these diets for these dogs, there's like a big debate on whether or not it's healthy for the dogs.
02:29:53.000 You're talking about the vegan?
02:29:53.000 Yeah, vegan diets for dogs and cats.
02:29:56.000 Whether or not it's a matter of the animal getting all the proper nutrients or just being able to stay alive.
02:30:03.000 I don't really understand people's relationships with dogs in that sense.
02:30:06.000 I get the whole man having a dog, but people get weird.
02:30:10.000 We know a friend who told us they have a patient who's got munch houses.
02:30:17.000 You know munch houses?
02:30:18.000 Yeah.
02:30:19.000 You know munch houses?
02:30:21.000 They basically make up things so that they can get their dog operated on.
02:30:26.000 It's just like as in problems so that they have an excuse to get an operation on the dog.
02:30:31.000 Like it's like their kid.
02:30:35.000 Apparently what they're saying is that dogs and cats have a much different nutritional requirement than human beings and that they need much higher protein intake than a human does.
02:30:47.000 So especially dogs can eat a bunch of other shit like yams and Potatoes and all these different other things.
02:30:52.000 And it's okay as long as they get sufficient amount of protein, but it's almost impossible to get the amount of protein that a dog needs with just plants.
02:31:00.000 Yeah.
02:31:01.000 And cats, it's just a fucking joke.
02:31:03.000 Cats are, you know, here's what you know.
02:31:06.000 Lay out some fucking meat and lay out a bowl of beans.
02:31:10.000 See where Fluffy goes.
02:31:12.000 Oh, Fluffy, no, you're not a murderer, Fluffy!
02:31:15.000 The dog's just choking down these pieces of meat.
02:31:18.000 You don't need to have the yams, Fluffy!
02:31:21.000 Fucking ridiculous.
02:31:23.000 Vegan cat food, bitch.
02:31:25.000 Shut the fuck up.
02:31:27.000 That thing's a murderer, man.
02:31:28.000 You're going to keep it from being a murderer?
02:31:31.000 It's its nature.
02:31:32.000 I mean, you know, it's what it does.
02:31:35.000 That's what a cat does.
02:31:36.000 It's kind of calming.
02:31:37.000 Like, everybody who's been pushing all the tofu and all the soy stuff over the last couple of years, they're starting to get breast cancer, man.
02:31:45.000 You know, like, it's just, you're discovering it's bad for you.
02:31:48.000 I used to eat that stuff instead of milk, and I'd always feel sick, but I was like, it's got to be healthy for you.
02:31:52.000 Everyone keeps telling me that.
02:31:54.000 That's why you got man boobs.
02:31:55.000 That's why I have boobs.
02:31:56.000 Boobs.
02:31:57.000 Yeah, even vegancats.com is telling people to feed their cats meat.
02:32:02.000 That's when shit gets real.
02:32:05.000 When vegancats.com tells people to feed their cats meat.
02:32:09.000 After much soul-searching, we've decided that we need to keep our I would feed them mean.
02:32:15.000 We only feed them asshole cows.
02:32:18.000 Cows that stomp on rats or something.
02:32:21.000 If a cat walks into a room, I'm gone.
02:32:24.000 Yeah, he hates cats.
02:32:25.000 I hate cats.
02:32:25.000 Really?
02:32:26.000 Terrified of them, actually.
02:32:27.000 He hates cats and hookers.
02:32:28.000 I don't know.
02:32:28.000 And hookers.
02:32:29.000 And strippers.
02:32:30.000 Strippers, strippers, strippers.
02:32:30.000 You hate strippers?
02:32:31.000 Man, in Thailand, if one touches him, he freaks out.
02:32:35.000 Is that because of your experiences in Thailand?
02:32:38.000 Or is it just like a thing in your DNA, perhaps, from past lives?
02:32:43.000 Maybe.
02:32:44.000 Were you ever stomped to death by a hooker or a stripper?
02:32:46.000 Dude, actually, talk about that.
02:32:48.000 If you ever go to Thailand...
02:32:49.000 Alright.
02:32:50.000 No, no, no.
02:32:50.000 If you ever go to Thailand, man, the most vicious things you see, and you see it in the hospitals, the chicks with the guy as they bottle...
02:32:57.000 Like, if you're going to fight with a guy, the chicks, the hooker chicks will smash a bottle on you.
02:33:01.000 Like, they're...
02:33:08.000 I love bottling.
02:33:13.000 I don't know what it is.
02:33:14.000 It's effective.
02:33:15.000 Especially if you're a woman and you don't have a lot of physical strength, you hit a guy with a bottle and open him up like a fucking tomato.
02:33:23.000 Bottles are scary shit.
02:33:24.000 When I lived in Boston, I saw an argument over...
02:33:27.000 I don't know what the argument was, because I was a fair bit away, like, you know, several...
02:33:33.000 These guys were arguing, and the guy's first move was to hit this guy in the face with a Heineken bottle.
02:33:38.000 Oh, Jesus.
02:33:38.000 It was horrible.
02:33:39.000 It just cut him wide open.
02:33:41.000 He's bleeding all over the place, and they tackled the guy who did it, and the bouncers beat the shit out of him.
02:33:45.000 But I remember thinking, like, man, you've got to be real fucking careful who you're fighting with, who you're arguing with.
02:33:51.000 Absolutely.
02:33:51.000 This guy just smashed this guy in the face.
02:33:54.000 Cut them open.
02:33:55.000 It's bleeding everywhere.
02:33:57.000 Not good.
02:33:58.000 Yeah, but you know one thing I was going to say is it always shocks me when you see dudes in another country like Vietnam, Thailand, Brazil starting fights with the locals.
02:34:06.000 What are you fucking thinking?
02:34:08.000 People are stupid as fuck, man.
02:34:10.000 I think it's probably just...
02:34:12.000 DNA, like, wanting to get eradicated.
02:34:15.000 Like, you have some shitty genes, and your genes want you to just be taken out of the mix, you know?
02:34:21.000 It's like a suicide pill.
02:34:23.000 Fuck, you're over there!
02:34:23.000 Fuck Thailand!
02:34:24.000 They're like, oh, really?
02:34:26.000 Okay.
02:34:26.000 You have no idea.
02:34:27.000 And you're drunk.
02:34:28.000 Every night, something.
02:34:29.000 I'm sure.
02:34:30.000 They start a fight with a taxi driver, and the whole of Thailand jumps in.
02:34:33.000 Do you live in Thailand now or do you go back and forth?
02:34:35.000 No, I've been going back and forth since I was 18, 31, so a long time.
02:34:39.000 You tried to live there.
02:34:41.000 I tried to live there, but I love Thai people.
02:34:44.000 I love the country.
02:34:46.000 I love everything about it.
02:34:47.000 It's very ancient.
02:34:50.000 There's no rush.
02:34:51.000 It's beautiful.
02:34:52.000 The Thai people are amazing.
02:34:53.000 Most of my friends there are Thai.
02:34:55.000 But...
02:34:57.000 You know, after a while, I just got a little bit bored.
02:35:02.000 I had my brother back in Sydney as well.
02:35:04.000 He was running the gym.
02:35:06.000 He got to a stage where...
02:35:09.000 He was doing the rescue, and I think he got really attached to not just...
02:35:14.000 And, man, you know, the thing I was saying, like, we were talking about this before, me and him, like, you know, like, when you finish pro fighting, what do you do?
02:35:21.000 And I think, like, it was kind of like, you're not, you know, you're doing all this fighting, and you're being admired, and you're brave, and everybody's like, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan.
02:35:28.000 And afterwards, you stop, and you're just like...
02:35:30.000 What now?
02:35:31.000 So he's going over to Thailand and he's rescuing people and suddenly you're feeling important again, right?
02:35:36.000 But he got really attached and actually at one stage I wanted to go live there.
02:35:42.000 We had a few arguments about it, and eventually I just said, I think you should go, because I didn't want the gym and me to be holding him back.
02:35:49.000 And he went there, and two months later, he's like, I'm ready to come home.
02:35:51.000 Did you ever think about competing in jiu-jitsu to maybe just spark your competitive desires and avoid head trauma?
02:35:58.000 Well, look, I did.
02:35:59.000 I competed a fair bit in jiu-jitsu, and I loved it, you know?
02:36:04.000 But, you know, I don't know, like when I hit, you know, when I was there, like for those two, three months last year, like Liam said, I got really addicted to the ambulance.
02:36:12.000 It was an adrenaline rush.
02:36:14.000 Why do cops say that?
02:36:15.000 Well, you know, you hear the radio go off.
02:36:17.000 I listen to the code.
02:36:18.000 I'm thinking, okay, it's a car accident.
02:36:20.000 There could be, we could be cutting people out of cars.
02:36:23.000 We could be...
02:36:23.000 Saving people.
02:36:24.000 Yeah.
02:36:24.000 You know, one accident I went to, I was trying to actually put back three bodies back together over like, I don't know, a quarter mile, 100 meters, it's less than a quarter mile, 100 meters trying to put everyone back together.
02:36:36.000 And it was a crazy adrenaline rush.
02:36:39.000 Put them back together, meaning save their lives.
02:36:41.000 Trying to figure out whose arm and leg was whose.
02:36:43.000 Oh, Jesus.
02:36:44.000 So two bikes collided.
02:36:46.000 So dead people.
02:36:47.000 Yeah, lots and lots of bodies.
02:36:48.000 There's an adrenaline rush in trying to figure out dead puzzles?
02:36:51.000 The adrenaline rush wasn't that.
02:36:53.000 I think I became a little bit desensitized to everything.
02:36:56.000 Nothing bothered me.
02:36:57.000 Right.
02:36:58.000 I've seen everything.
02:36:59.000 But it was more when the alarm went off in my little rescue bed.
02:37:03.000 It was just a room half the size of this.
02:37:06.000 And you hear the code and all you hear is it's a car.
02:37:09.000 There's an accident.
02:37:10.000 But you don't know how many people.
02:37:12.000 You don't know anything.
02:37:13.000 So you get there and it could be like five cars.
02:37:15.000 One time we got there, I was driving and they hated me driving.
02:37:19.000 Like I was telling my brother in the car.
02:37:21.000 Why?
02:37:21.000 It was like a V8 turbocharged ambulances thing.
02:37:24.000 And they said, I'm a mad driver.
02:37:26.000 I drove Lamborghini yesterday up at Vegas.
02:37:28.000 That was sick.
02:37:29.000 Oh, you went to one of those race car track places where you can rent one?
02:37:32.000 Oh, yeah, man.
02:37:33.000 Don't trust me, man.
02:37:35.000 So, you know, I'd be driving, and then after a while, they started racing me to the driver's seat, because I'd just lay next to the ambulance, and used to race me there.
02:37:44.000 And I was like, man, why don't they, you know, I said, why do you guys not like me driving anymore?
02:37:48.000 He said, Dylan, when you drive, man, we're every religion.
02:37:52.000 And it sat with me and I'm thinking, what the hell are they talking about?
02:37:56.000 And they go, man, we're Christian.
02:37:58.000 We pray to Allah.
02:37:59.000 We pray to Jesus, Jewish.
02:38:01.000 I go, man, you're such a crazy driver that we pretty much pray to every God just in case.
02:38:08.000 Well, think about what the fuck you did.
02:38:09.000 You went from...
02:38:11.000 Motorcycle racing, too many concussions, I'll try kickboxing.
02:38:14.000 You go to fucking Thai boxing, you become a world champion in Thai boxing.
02:38:17.000 Hmm, not enough thrill.
02:38:19.000 I need to ride fucking bulls.
02:38:21.000 Oh, along the line, I can go rescue people.
02:38:24.000 Let's do it.
02:38:24.000 Hey, what an adrenaline rush.
02:38:26.000 I'm putting together bodies.
02:38:27.000 Absolutely.
02:38:28.000 You're a maniac, dude.
02:38:30.000 One thing I thought was interesting about it, though, is he became quite detached for a while.
02:38:34.000 You're eating candy the whole time you're here, too.
02:38:36.000 What are you doing?
02:38:36.000 You got a candy thing?
02:38:37.000 No, just soothing my throat.
02:38:40.000 Oh, your throat, okay.
02:38:41.000 Yeah, both of us got bloody Vegas.
02:38:43.000 You can't escape the smoke.
02:38:44.000 In Australia, you can't smoke indoors.
02:38:46.000 Most of the time, you can't smoke indoors in America.
02:38:49.000 Most places.
02:38:49.000 Texas, a few places, I think, in Texas allow it.
02:38:52.000 But Vegas is one of the few places left where you can smoke indoors.
02:38:56.000 But they have so many...
02:38:57.000 I don't usually have a problem with it because they have so many, like, filters and air cleaning systems.
02:39:03.000 Where'd you guys go?
02:39:04.000 Ariel.
02:39:05.000 You know, Joe, in Australia now...
02:39:08.000 I think you may look it up, but just in case.
02:39:09.000 Yeah, this is bro knowledge.
02:39:11.000 Bro knowledge goes deep on this show.
02:39:14.000 We've been promoting bro science for four years.
02:39:17.000 But I'm pretty sure that they've, or they've passed in the law, that anyone born after the year 2000 can never buy cigarettes.
02:39:25.000 It's illegal.
02:39:26.000 So it's our first generation of non-smokers.
02:39:29.000 I like that and I don't like that at the same time because I don't like anybody telling me what I can and can't do.
02:39:33.000 Yeah, of course.
02:39:34.000 But I like it because kids are so goddamn easily tricked.
02:39:38.000 And those chemicals that they put in cigarettes that make them more addictive.
02:39:42.000 Did you ever see that movie Inside Job?
02:39:44.000 Yes.
02:39:45.000 Russell Crowe?
02:39:46.000 He's your boy, right?
02:39:47.000 Yeah.
02:39:47.000 Russell Crowe?
02:39:47.000 He's from New York.
02:39:48.000 He's from New York.
02:39:49.000 Australia?
02:39:49.000 Yeah.
02:39:49.000 Yeah.
02:39:50.000 It's a great fucking movie, man.
02:39:52.000 It's a true story based on a real chemist who was developing specific compounds designed to keep people addicted.
02:40:01.000 And he details the mechanism involved in these addiction processes.
02:40:06.000 And it's like, wow, how the fuck did the government let this shit get in there?
02:40:09.000 I had a lot of trouble quitting smoking.
02:40:11.000 I was smoking while I was fighting.
02:40:13.000 And I got to a point where I was like, I'd get sick a lot because you're smoking and fighting.
02:40:17.000 I was only 20. You were smoking and fighting.
02:40:20.000 Isn't Sakuraba famous for that?
02:40:23.000 Yeah.
02:40:23.000 I mean, the thing about smoking, man, I wish I never started, but I started when I was about 13 and I thought it was cool.
02:40:29.000 I was an idiot.
02:40:30.000 And by the time I was 21 and I was still smoking, I couldn't quit.
02:40:33.000 I'm not dipping.
02:40:35.000 Oh, you got dip?
02:40:36.000 He knows I hate it.
02:40:39.000 Man, I couldn't quit.
02:40:40.000 And I got to the stage where I was like, I have to either quit martial arts or quit smoking, and I couldn't quit smoking because I was getting sick a lot from my lungs and my sinuses.
02:40:48.000 So I'd go train and then have a cigarette.
02:40:50.000 Wow.
02:40:51.000 Man, it was so addictive, man.
02:40:52.000 It was really a scary thing.
02:40:54.000 That's crazy.
02:40:55.000 What kind did you smoke?
02:40:56.000 Just normal cigarettes.
02:40:57.000 Did you ever try those American spirits?
02:40:59.000 They have some cigarettes that are all natural.
02:41:02.000 They don't have any additives.
02:41:03.000 We smoke.
02:41:04.000 Look, I mean, we started as teenagers, as stupid idiots, and, you know, everyone just...
02:41:07.000 That's what you did socially when you'd meet up and smoke, but I was actually one of the last ones smoking, and I felt really down on myself, really, like, weak about the fact I couldn't quit.
02:41:16.000 You know, I quit when I was 22, which was, like, 11 years ago, but I haven't...
02:41:20.000 You know, like, I actually got to a stage where I was that addicted to it that I couldn't, I almost quit, like, training.
02:41:28.000 Because I couldn't, my health couldn't put up with physical exercise.
02:41:31.000 I'm not surprised, man.
02:41:32.000 That stuff will fuck you up.
02:41:34.000 I absolutely agree.
02:41:35.000 I'm not surprised.
02:41:36.000 Everyone that I know that's, that had a cigarette addiction and then quit still longs for those goddamn things.
02:41:43.000 Yeah, I don't.
02:41:44.000 Once I quit, I quit, you know?
02:41:45.000 Yeah, my friend Jeff, to this day, he's quit for more than a decade.
02:41:49.000 He's like, to this day, every now and then, I'll see someone smoking, and it just looks so good.
02:41:52.000 I just want one.
02:41:53.000 I just want one.
02:41:54.000 I just want to punch them in the face.
02:41:55.000 When I was in the casino, and I was sitting there, and there's kids right next to a guy blowing smoke on them, and I'm thinking, why don't you just hit them with your car?
02:42:04.000 It's not good.
02:42:05.000 I have a real problem with that.
02:42:06.000 People that just don't give a fuck about that.
02:42:08.000 That's a weird thing about the cigarettes, too, is that it affects the people around you, and they don't give a fuck.
02:42:14.000 Absolutely.
02:42:14.000 But it's also the thing that they throw them on the ground.
02:42:18.000 Cigarette people are so likely to litter.
02:42:21.000 It's the weirdest thing.
02:42:22.000 They don't have any problem with it.
02:42:23.000 It's like almost, on average, more people that smoke cigarettes litter with those cigarettes than anything.
02:42:29.000 I had a guy over my fucking house that was working on my house, and he's sitting out in my backyard, and he smokes, and then he throws a cigarette on the ground.
02:42:37.000 I go, what the fuck are you doing?
02:42:39.000 Are you really littering in my fucking backyard while you're working for me, dickhead?
02:42:44.000 Tradies, huh?
02:42:45.000 Just a douchebag, man.
02:42:47.000 Yeah.
02:42:48.000 But I couldn't believe it.
02:42:49.000 He did it right in front of me.
02:42:49.000 I'm like, what the fuck are you doing, man?
02:42:52.000 I live here.
02:42:53.000 You're just going to throw shit on the ground and step on it?
02:42:56.000 Oh, you stepped on it.
02:42:57.000 It's good now.
02:42:58.000 Yeah, it's gone.
02:42:58.000 Someone tried to tell me, oh, they're biodegradable.
02:43:00.000 Yeah, in a fucking hundred years.
02:43:02.000 In a hundred years, it'll go back into the earth, you fucking nitwit.
02:43:06.000 And the daughter's at the beach.
02:43:07.000 She's like, hey daddy, look at this.
02:43:08.000 Look what I found.
02:43:09.000 It's either a condom or a cigarette.
02:43:11.000 Biodegradable, you fucking dildos.
02:43:13.000 It just ruins a good beach as well.
02:43:15.000 Biodegradable.
02:43:16.000 What are you talking about?
02:43:17.000 It's a foam fucking plastic filter at the end of a shitty piece of paper.
02:43:22.000 Yeah, eventually the earth will absorb it.
02:43:24.000 So you know what else is biodegradable?
02:43:26.000 Your fucking car.
02:43:27.000 Leave your car for a thousand years.
02:43:29.000 It won't exist.
02:43:30.000 Have you ever picked up...
02:43:32.000 I hate how people put them in bottles and picked up a beer bottle you thought was yours and you're just like...
02:43:36.000 Oh, that's the nasty shit of all time.
02:43:40.000 Beer and cigarette ashes.
02:43:44.000 How about they throw them out the window too?
02:43:45.000 That's half the fires in California from shitheads throwing...
02:43:53.000 They're not flicking it at you.
02:43:57.000 They don't think they're doing anything wrong.
02:43:59.000 I feel like they're doing something so bad to their own body that they don't give a fuck.
02:44:04.000 They don't give a fuck about poisoning their own bodies.
02:44:06.000 They don't give a fuck about poisoning the earth itself.
02:44:08.000 The worst thing is seeing the young girls smoking.
02:44:11.000 We're going to wrap this thing up anyway.
02:44:12.000 We're at 6 o'clock already.
02:44:16.000 It's been a lot of fun, dude.
02:44:17.000 We did a three-hour podcast.
02:44:18.000 Unfortunately, you've got two sick Reznikovs today.
02:44:21.000 No worries.
02:44:22.000 It was great.
02:44:22.000 It was fun.
02:44:23.000 No, it was fun.
02:44:23.000 I'm glad we did this.
02:44:24.000 Yeah, cool.
02:44:25.000 So, your gym.
02:44:26.000 Give people the...
02:44:27.000 How do they get a hold of you?
02:44:29.000 What's the website?
02:44:30.000 Yeah, okay.
02:44:30.000 So, our gym's www...
02:44:34.000 You don't have to say www anymore.
02:44:36.000 It's 2014. So true.
02:44:38.000 What about HGTP? I don't think you need even that anymore.
02:44:41.000 I always got the slashes backwards.
02:44:44.000 We're at VT1 Academy.
02:44:46.000 VT1MMA.com.au.
02:44:47.000 That's insane.
02:44:48.000 VT1MMA.com.
02:44:48.000 There you go.
02:44:49.000 There's the website.
02:44:51.000 Just one quick thing.
02:44:52.000 Do you know that a lot of French girls in Canada are called Lawrence?
02:44:55.000 Yeah, that's really weird.
02:44:57.000 Last name or first?
02:44:58.000 Only because I was on Tinder there that we found out.
02:45:00.000 Wait a minute, their first name or their last name?
02:45:02.000 Now if you cycle back, that big Chinese guy on the left there, when I say Lawrence, I think of a big Chinese guy with a guillotine that kills you, right?
02:45:09.000 Lawrence.
02:45:10.000 But on Tinder, all the girls were Lawrence.
02:45:13.000 That's so weird.
02:45:14.000 Really weird.
02:45:15.000 Tinder, in the house.
02:45:15.000 Sorry, on a random note.
02:45:17.000 Get your freak on.
02:45:17.000 So that's us down there.
02:45:19.000 Come visit us.
02:45:19.000 We're really friendly, everything.
02:45:21.000 And our other site is peak-at-u.com.
02:45:26.000 Huh?
02:45:27.000 Our other site is peak...
02:45:28.000 Peek?
02:45:29.000 P-E-E-K. P-E-E-E-K. Yep.
02:45:32.000 Dash at, A-T, dash U dot com.
02:45:36.000 So Y-O-U. What is that?
02:45:38.000 That's the project, the Growing Down site that we're working on.
02:45:41.000 We're going to put all the stuff at the time and stuff on.
02:45:43.000 We've got the psychologist who's doing the podcast on and stuff.
02:45:46.000 So that's our kind of site where we're just going to host everything.
02:45:50.000 Because that's our business site, obviously.
02:45:52.000 Okay, so Jamie, did you find that?
02:45:54.000 Yeah.
02:45:54.000 What is it again?
02:45:55.000 So it's peek...
02:45:56.000 P-E-E-K... P-E-E-K... Dash...
02:45:59.000 Dash...
02:45:59.000 Dash...
02:46:00.000 You...
02:46:00.000 At...
02:46:01.000 A-T... Dash...
02:46:03.000 Y-O-U dot com.
02:46:05.000 That's...
02:46:05.000 That's...
02:46:06.000 Oh, it's not up there.
02:46:07.000 I'm just pointing at Joe.
02:46:08.000 I'm just...
02:46:09.000 This is awkward.
02:46:10.000 Hey, man!
02:46:13.000 That's the Growing Down site.
02:46:15.000 And that's going to have all the talents.
02:46:17.000 That's just going to have all our projects.
02:46:18.000 Where's Growing Down?
02:46:19.000 Growing Down is a project we launched because we were sick of basically...
02:46:24.000 Growing up?
02:46:24.000 Sick of growing up?
02:46:25.000 Sick of being at the dinner table and everyone comes up to you and says, so what are you doing with yourself lately?
02:46:30.000 Are you working hard?
02:46:31.000 That's our South African accent.
02:46:33.000 Right.
02:46:33.000 You know, so my friend's a psychologist and he just started getting pissed off and so he coined this whole growing down thing which is about stop listening to other people and start fucking listening to yourself basically.
02:46:44.000 Beautiful.
02:46:45.000 Yeah.
02:46:45.000 That's a great idea because by the way, not only will other people give you shitty advice, they will give you shitty advice because they got shitty advice and they want you to continue the tradition of suffering.
02:46:54.000 Right.
02:46:55.000 People love watching people fail and struggle because they've failed and struggled.
02:47:00.000 It's very rare that someone will tell you, listen to me, I failed.
02:47:03.000 My life is a fucking disaster.
02:47:04.000 Don't do what I did.
02:47:06.000 They don't say, why don't you fucking grow up?
02:47:08.000 I've never heard anyone say that.
02:47:09.000 I've had many people tell me to grow up.
02:47:11.000 I've had many people that were fucking miserable telling me that I needed to grow up.
02:47:14.000 I'm like, I don't get it.
02:47:15.000 I'm happy.
02:47:16.000 You're not.
02:47:17.000 And I need to grow up.
02:47:18.000 This is baffling.
02:47:19.000 Do you know you're going to die?
02:47:20.000 We're both going to die.
02:47:21.000 Isn't the whole point to enjoy this as much as possible?
02:47:23.000 I feel like I'm enjoying it.
02:47:25.000 And I feel like you're not.
02:47:26.000 So I'm super confused as to why you're giving me advice.
02:47:30.000 One quick thing just before we wrap up, I just wanted to share, Chris.
02:47:33.000 It just was something interesting that came up when we were backstage at the UFC, right?
02:47:37.000 And this is about growing down.
02:47:39.000 And we're back there.
02:47:40.000 Our fighters prepared pretty well for the fight, right?
02:47:43.000 And you go there and everybody's telling you what to do.
02:47:46.000 Don't eat bread.
02:47:47.000 Don't eat this.
02:47:47.000 Switch a potato, a sweet potato.
02:47:49.000 And everyone means well, right?
02:47:50.000 Cut weight this way.
02:47:52.000 Cut weight that way.
02:47:53.000 Prepare this way.
02:47:53.000 Guys were holding pads hard as they could the night before the fight.
02:47:56.000 Now, we taper a week before.
02:47:59.000 Right.
02:47:59.000 And we're there and our fighter starts getting nervous and he starts copying a little bit because these are professionals, right?
02:48:05.000 We're professionals too, but we study.
02:48:06.000 We know what we're doing.
02:48:08.000 But he starts switching to sweet potato.
02:48:10.000 He cuts out bread.
02:48:11.000 He starts training a little bit closer to the fight than he should be.
02:48:14.000 And the thing was, everybody was telling everybody what to do and he ended up dropping five pounds by mistake.
02:48:20.000 Because he changed everything that week.
02:48:23.000 And I was like, I was thinking about for comedy, for fighting and all that stuff, is like, it's really fucking hard to just trust that.
02:48:29.000 Look, I've eaten potatoes and red meat my whole life.
02:48:31.000 Let's just keep doing it till the fight, you know?
02:48:33.000 And so that's what the whole growing down thing was about.
02:48:35.000 But it seems like if those guys are given that advice on how to lose weight, that seems like good advice.
02:48:39.000 It seems like the weight that he lost.
02:48:41.000 That's what he meant.
02:48:42.000 Well, it's probably because he probably should be lighter in the first place.
02:48:46.000 Like, it's a healthier diet.
02:48:47.000 The advice is right, but the timing is wrong.
02:48:50.000 Timing is wrong.
02:48:51.000 That's what I mean.
02:48:51.000 So, like, you're about to go up on stage and some guy comes up and he goes, man, before I go on stage, I usually go do a quick shot of, like, tequila up my nose.
02:48:58.000 You know, that works for me.
02:48:59.000 And then you go and do it, you go on stage and everyone thinks you're...
02:49:02.000 You know what I'm saying?
02:49:03.000 Nose is sniffling, you're bleeding.
02:49:05.000 So it's just, you know, for all the Aussies coming up, it's just having confidence.
02:49:08.000 What you're doing is good.
02:49:09.000 Write notes and do it after the fight.
02:49:11.000 That was just something we learned backstage.
02:49:13.000 It's definitely a good point about tapering off, man.
02:49:16.000 That's one thing that people make a huge mistake about.
02:49:18.000 They train too hard.
02:49:19.000 They think it's good to train hard the day before the fight, but training breaks the body down.
02:49:24.000 The whole purpose of training is to break the body down.
02:49:27.000 If you don't understand that, then you need to talk to someone who's an exercise physiologist and understand what is the purpose of working out.
02:49:33.000 Working out taxes the body so the body heals.
02:49:36.000 Healing is what makes you stronger.
02:49:38.000 The breaking down of the body forces your body to react to the fact that you're making it do all this work.
02:49:44.000 So it goes, okay, we're lifting weights now.
02:49:46.000 We got to get stronger because this motherfucker wants us carrying heavy things all the time.
02:49:50.000 Okay, this guy wants us running up hills.
02:49:52.000 Boy, we better increase our VO2 max because we want to stay alive.
02:49:55.000 Obviously the body has different requirements now.
02:49:58.000 We need more oxygen.
02:49:59.000 But to break it down the week of is really not beneficial.
02:50:03.000 Some guys do it though and they get away with it.
02:50:05.000 So our guy looks at them and he goes, fuck, this is a pro, I better do it.
02:50:09.000 Well, there's a lot of schools of thought.
02:50:10.000 I mean, it's just like hard training.
02:50:12.000 There's a lot of schools of thought when it comes to hard sparring.
02:50:15.000 And then there's even pros, guys like Martin Kampman who say you should spar once a week at most.
02:50:20.000 Yeah, he's good.
02:50:21.000 Yeah, he's very good, very smart and very technical.
02:50:24.000 But, you know, a lot of guys didn't do it that way and they have suffered because of it.
02:50:28.000 There's a lot of damage that gets done that's unnecessary, whether it's in training, whether it's, you know, in preparation, strength and conditioning, whatever it is.
02:50:36.000 There's a lot of unnecessary damage.
02:50:40.000 What we were talking about before about MMA training, I think it's still in a learning period.
02:50:44.000 I think we still haven't got it down the way, like, say, football has it down.
02:50:47.000 They know exactly how to train to develop, like, top-flight football players.
02:50:52.000 Basketball, same thing.
02:50:53.000 You go to a basketball camp, you're dealing with top-flight strength and conditioning coach.
02:50:57.000 They really know how to deal with...
02:50:58.000 I mean, you're dealing with multi-multimillion-dollar athletes, and they have that investment, and they want to keep it healthy, and...
02:51:04.000 Really, no one should apply that more than MMA fighters, because who the fuck gets hurt more than MMA fighters?
02:51:09.000 Muay Thai probably is the worst taught sport in the world, especially in Thailand, because there's no history of teaching.
02:51:16.000 It's all fighters teaching fighters.
02:51:18.000 Well, they just copy by osmosis.
02:51:19.000 Really?
02:51:20.000 Pretty much.
02:51:20.000 So it's like, that's one of the most backward sports in the world, never mind MMA. And there's a lot of smoking and drinking as well.
02:51:26.000 Man, we had...
02:51:27.000 It's getting better now.
02:51:28.000 Do you remember it was getting better?
02:51:29.000 Like, they've got a lot of, you know, fight against alcohol, fight against drugs.
02:51:33.000 So, there's a lot of promotion now.
02:51:35.000 You've got a lot of guys like Yotsin Clay Fairtex and Malapet, oh, he's actually American, you know, and Borkow.
02:51:43.000 These guys are heroes.
02:51:45.000 So, for people, there's a lot more push towards, you know, be healthy, get fit.
02:51:50.000 You can make good money now.
02:51:51.000 You can go to Japan.
02:51:52.000 You can fight in America.
02:51:54.000 You can do dives.
02:51:55.000 Yeah, so...
02:51:55.000 Yeah, I have friends that trained and fought in Thailand, and they were telling me about everybody smoking cigarettes, and my friend Chris started smoking when he was in Thailand because he was fighting.
02:52:04.000 He was fighting in Thailand, everybody was training and smoking, and he started smoking too, just like to be one of the gang.
02:52:09.000 Now he smokes cigarettes.
02:52:10.000 You know Champua Kiatsungri?
02:52:13.000 I've heard the name.
02:52:14.000 He's the one who, like, Tong Po sort of based on him.
02:52:16.000 Oh, really?
02:52:17.000 Yeah, he broke Rick Rufus' leg.
02:52:19.000 You've seen the fight, I'm sure.
02:52:21.000 You know the one where he boots him and he breaks his leg?
02:52:24.000 I didn't see that fight.
02:52:25.000 It's on YouTube.
02:52:26.000 It's worth watching.
02:52:26.000 But we saw him and he's a legend.
02:52:28.000 He fought Andy Hoog.
02:52:29.000 He fought all these guys, right?
02:52:30.000 We go to Thailand in Pattaya and he's just sitting there smoking.
02:52:33.000 So if I buy him a box of cigarettes, he'll let me film him kicking the bag.
02:52:37.000 So I'll just bring a box of cigarettes and he'll kick the bag for me.
02:52:40.000 Show me the technique.
02:52:42.000 They're just smoking and alcohol over there is out of control.
02:52:45.000 Wow.
02:52:46.000 It is.
02:52:46.000 Last question before we go.
02:52:48.000 I'm a big fan of kickboxing, obviously, and kickboxing is starting to make its way into the United States in a big way with glory.
02:52:54.000 Glory, yes.
02:52:55.000 My only problem with it is I don't like tournaments.
02:52:58.000 I don't like the idea of making someone fight twice in a night, and I definitely don't like them doing it with high-level kickboxing.
02:53:05.000 Nathan Corbett fought Gokhan Saki.
02:53:08.000 That's right.
02:53:09.000 Gokan Saki knocked him out in the first round, broke his eardrum, and stopped the fight.
02:53:13.000 And then he had to go into the final round, Gokan Saki did, against Tyrone Spong, where Tyrone Spong fought three hard rounds, this young Brazilian kid, and then fought in the round and broke his leg.
02:53:27.000 I don't think the shin break came from the fact that he had to fight three rounds and Gokan had to fight one, but the idea that one guy could fight one round...
02:53:36.000 And then the other guy could go three rounds and go to war, and then they meet in the finals.
02:53:41.000 I think that's fucking crazy.
02:53:42.000 And I think in this day and age, in 2014, with what we know about concussed fighters, head injuries, and then taking a break and cooling down in between that fight and having an hour in between the first fight and the second, I think it's fucking crazy.
02:53:56.000 But also the removal of clinch makes it fucking dangerous.
02:53:59.000 Exactly!
02:53:59.000 And elbows.
02:54:00.000 No elbows, no clinch.
02:54:02.000 Colbert would have won that fight, I think, with elbows.
02:54:04.000 Well, he's a real Muay Thai specialist.
02:54:06.000 He is an elbow guy, and they took away one of his best weapons.
02:54:10.000 That's right.
02:54:10.000 The clinch and the elbows, two of his best weapons.
02:54:13.000 The thing about glory, though, for us, is that it's getting us on a bigger scale for Muay Thai, which is good.
02:54:23.000 In that way, it's good.
02:54:24.000 I understand the tournament, like your perspective on the tournaments.
02:54:27.000 I kind of agree in a way, but to get striking with...
02:54:33.000 Competing against UFC is so hard.
02:54:35.000 Yeah.
02:54:36.000 Money-wise.
02:54:36.000 It's hard.
02:54:37.000 Well, I think that, first of all, they're on Spike, which is a huge company.
02:54:41.000 Spike is Viacom.
02:54:43.000 They're owned by huge, huge, huge billion-dollar backing behind them.
02:54:48.000 There's a shitload of money involved in Spike and Viacom, but...
02:54:53.000 I think that the tournament format is dangerous.
02:54:55.000 I really do.
02:54:56.000 I think it's antiquated.
02:54:57.000 It's dangerous.
02:54:58.000 I loved it back when it was on K1. It's amazing to watch.
02:55:02.000 But I think for the athletes, when you're dealing with world-class athletes, like a Tyrone Spong, like a Gokhan Saki, I just think it's unfair, and I think it's the wrong way.
02:55:11.000 I almost feel like it's disrespectful to the sport itself.
02:55:15.000 And the fighters.
02:55:16.000 To force world-class fighters to fight more than once in a night, I think is outrageous.
02:55:19.000 But the thing I was going to say just quickly about that is one of the bigger problems I think with Glory is it's also going to reduce the...
02:55:27.000 Like Muay Thai in America is basically kickboxing with knees and elbows, right?
02:55:32.000 The clinch in Thailand is like 30-40% of Thai boxing.
02:55:37.000 Not in America, not in Holland, right?
02:55:39.000 So you're seeing all these guys coming into MMA. Not only is it going to increase head damage because there's no clinching, but also the skill sets that come from the clinch, they don't exist in MMA yet.
02:55:49.000 You know?
02:55:50.000 Yes.
02:55:51.000 Well, you see it a little bit with Anderson Silva.
02:55:53.000 You see with a few Muay Thai guys, they know how to clinch.
02:55:55.000 This sounds really stupid because you've got a bad neck, but I was saying like, if you get to clinch with like a Thai, I'm trying to say it modestly, like real clinch, like Thai clinch, it's almost like doing flowing Greco.
02:56:09.000 There's body locks, back takes, snap downs.
02:56:12.000 Well, do you like Lion Fight?
02:56:14.000 Do you ever watch Lion Fight?
02:56:14.000 What's that?
02:56:15.000 Lion Fight's an organization in Vegas, and they're putting in Malapet fights for them.
02:56:19.000 Right, right.
02:56:20.000 They have a lot of really high-level people that are coming over from Europe and fighting for them.
02:56:24.000 They've got really good fights they're putting on.
02:56:25.000 Right.
02:56:26.000 That was Cyborg, Christina Cyborg.
02:56:28.000 She lost to this girl from...
02:56:31.000 She's pretty hot on her.
02:56:32.000 Fucking hell.
02:56:32.000 She's had two fucking Muay Thai fights.
02:56:34.000 They're hard on her because she took male hormones.
02:56:36.000 That's the bottom line.
02:56:37.000 She's such a nice lady.
02:56:38.000 The reality.
02:56:39.000 I'm sure she's a nice lady, but the reality is she took male hormones.
02:56:42.000 But you're saying they include clinch?
02:56:43.000 Yes.
02:56:43.000 It's clinches and elbows.
02:56:45.000 Great.
02:56:45.000 Yeah, I mean, they have...
02:56:46.000 Kevin Ross fights with them.
02:56:49.000 Yeah, he's cool.
02:56:50.000 And, you know, elbows, clinch, everything.
02:56:53.000 Take downs.
02:56:54.000 They trip each other.
02:56:56.000 They drop each other.
02:56:56.000 It's beautiful.
02:56:57.000 Yes, it is beautiful.
02:56:57.000 And it's the comprehensive full style of Muay Thai.
02:57:01.000 And it's safer...
02:57:02.000 It's better.
02:57:02.000 It's safer.
02:57:03.000 And it's also more lethal.
02:57:04.000 It's more effective.
02:57:05.000 Exactly.
02:57:05.000 Elbows, kicks, knees, everything.
02:57:07.000 Watch the prelim card with our guy who fought.
02:57:11.000 Look, he's got a long way to go.
02:57:13.000 He's only, you know, his first fight, right?
02:57:15.000 But he used Muay Thai Muay Thai in the clinch.
02:57:18.000 And like people were saying, what did he do there?
02:57:20.000 And I was like, that's like first day stuff in Thailand.
02:57:22.000 Right, right, right, right.
02:57:23.000 So I think Americans are robbing themselves a bit by doing glory, not...
02:57:27.000 Muay Thai Thai, you know what I mean?
02:57:29.000 I couldn't agree more.
02:57:30.000 I couldn't agree more and I think that we're on the same page as far as the respect for the athletes making them fight more than once a night against world-class guys on an uneven playing field like you could have fought like you could fight a world-class guy and get rocked a bunch of times in three rounds and be really fucked up in that dressing room when you're preparing for the title and the other guy lands a head kick 15 seconds into the fight and you're both fighting in the finals against each other.
02:57:52.000 I think that's crazy.
02:57:53.000 I absolutely agree.
02:57:53.000 And they're gonna have a big tournament in LA and I'm gonna be there We're going to watch it every time.
02:57:58.000 I'm going to watch it every time too.
02:57:59.000 I'm a big supporter of it.
02:58:00.000 I just think that they should reconsider.
02:58:02.000 And I wish they would go Muay Thai style.
02:58:04.000 Just fucking bring in the elbows.
02:58:06.000 Bring in the clinch.
02:58:07.000 Watch some of those lion fights.
02:58:09.000 They're doing it.
02:58:09.000 It's great.
