If you've ever listened to one of these before, oftentimes we don't even watch the fights.
00:00:21.000
Did you guys decide to go, did you call each other and say, let's double blast with the lilac, or is that just a coincidence?
00:00:31.000
I got here, he's wearing purple, and he's got a fucking purple car, so he double purpled.
00:00:36.000
Now, I've read that lilac, and I'm going to call that lilac, is actually a head turner with the ladies.
00:00:46.000
So they say if you're going to go out on a date or you're going to go out on the town, you might want to throw some lilac on your body.
00:00:51.000
Or maybe ladies will see the lilac and think you're trying too hard.
00:00:55.000
Maybe, but it soothes my eye and I can't take my eyes off your torso.
00:01:13.000
They actually make a GT3. You're in a windbreak touring package.
00:01:31.000
How come you buy a car in LA traffic where you got to keep the ass down?
00:01:48.000
It's like a flat looking kind of thing that is a part of the rear deck.
00:02:08.000
Cars like that are interesting because It's like this psychological thing for all guys.
00:02:13.000
It's like, at least I know I have the power under my hood.
00:02:16.000
I'm never going to use it, but I know I got it.
00:02:33.000
If you drive fast, it literally results in hundreds of pounds of downforce.
00:02:39.000
You don't have to drive that fast to feel the difference.
00:02:41.000
Have you ever been out of second gear in that car?
00:02:53.000
Well, my buddy, you know, Frank's got that, Frank Grillo has that Dodge.
00:02:57.000
Why don't you put the headphones on so we don't talk over each other?
00:03:08.000
Oh, so you're racing irresponsibly on the streets with children.
00:03:16.000
I'm good, but if you rev your engine at me, I'll meet you halfway.
00:03:22.000
Let him make his noise in the police environment.
00:03:25.000
You're going to get that new Roadster, the one that they launched into space?
00:03:33.000
It's lighter and they have more room for batteries and they're more efficient with the battery software and everything now.
00:03:44.000
It looks like a combination of a Ferrari and a Lotus.
00:03:51.000
My problem with the Tesla right now is that the battery doesn't last long enough.
00:03:58.000
Like the newer ones, every year it'll get better, better, better.
00:04:17.000
That car will make your fucking RS Porsche look like a slow...
00:04:36.000
I need a V10. I need a fucking V8 behind that bad boy.
00:04:54.000
I wouldn't do that unless he was wearing a lilac.
00:05:03.000
You've seen the Porsche electric car coming out.
00:05:05.000
If anyone's going to do it, it's going to be Porsche.
00:05:07.000
But the Porsche looks like dog shit compared to that.
00:05:18.000
Porsche, I think it's called a Taycan or something like that.
00:05:25.000
They don't know yet because it hasn't been released, but probably 200. Look at that.
00:05:40.000
And I'm not saying because my good friend Elon Musk makes it.
00:05:59.000
Is he still trying to build that subway underneath the LA? That motherfucker's trying to build everything.
00:06:03.000
If you talk to him in private, I wish I could try his brain out for a day and find out what's going on in there, but it's just rattling around information constantly.
00:06:14.000
And he's just grabbing it and stuffing it into boxes and digging holes under the ground and shooting things to the moon.
00:06:26.000
When you talk to guys like that who are lateral thinkers, you realize the guy who made me feel really dumb and almost like a fraud was...
00:06:42.000
And I realized that everything I say is basically an amalgam of the things I've read or heard.
00:06:47.000
And he's one of the ones that write those things.
00:06:58.000
Well, whenever you think you're a black belt, you realize you're a white belt.
00:07:05.000
Elon went on the podcast, when he asked him a question, though, he really downloaded that data before he gave an answer.
00:07:13.000
I would say he's very enthusiastic, almost like a child with certain things, with his blowtorch gun, stuff like that.
00:07:20.000
But when it comes to thinking about things, he'll just sit down and pause before he gives you an answer.
00:07:33.000
But that's also one of the charms of you is that you say stupid shit that you wish you didn't say right after you said it.
00:07:38.000
Right after you said it, I know he's like, God damn, I probably should have said that.
00:07:45.000
I mean, you're doing a Showtime special fucking two and a half years into comedy.
00:08:14.000
The referee's like wearing something around his waist.
00:08:40.000
Folks watching at home, 4 minutes and 37, 36, 35, 34, 33 seconds into the first round.
00:09:13.000
Chuck always had that, like, kind of, his belly always sticks out.
00:09:18.000
He's always had that, even when he was at the top of the food chain.
00:09:27.000
Even when Chuck was at the top of the food chain, he always had that.
00:09:35.000
He was making fun of him, but he was wearing a shirt.
00:09:42.000
I think they should have done like, because those guys should go out on their shields as Hall of Famers.
00:09:47.000
I think, I wish, you know, Chuck said when they wanted to do the fight, he called Dana and Dana was like, get the fuck out of here.
00:09:53.000
And so I wish they would have done like a tough finale or like a big card and they're just like a feature fight or some shit.
00:10:01.000
I support everyone's right to do whatever they want to do, whenever they want to do it, as long as they're not hurting anybody.
00:10:15.000
If they don't do this, they're going to live forever?
00:10:29.000
I asked Chuck, you've gone through all the testing with Commission California?
00:10:32.000
Because when I was fighting, going through California commissions, they were by far the strictest.
00:10:37.000
If you're taking protein powder, they're the worst.
00:10:39.000
Chuck's like, I went through all the California commission shit.
00:10:43.000
I'm a big fan of this guy who runs it in California, Andy Foster.
00:11:01.000
Doesn't want people cutting a shitload of weight in his state.
00:11:13.000
They instituted more weight classes in California early on.
00:11:16.000
Are you guys aware of how 1FC does their weigh-ins?
00:11:30.000
So you fight whatever is closest to your natural weight, which I think makes sense.
00:11:34.000
One FC, 100% is doing it better than anybody else.
00:11:38.000
You know what the problem with that is, though?
00:11:46.000
So Ben Askren went up to 185. He was 170, and they jumped him up to 185, which is like his real walk-around weight.
00:11:55.000
There's got to be an official weigh-in at some point.
00:11:58.000
Look, you could always manipulate your weight and stay healthy within a certain range of your discipline, right?
00:12:05.000
So if you, like, say if you said your best weight is 165, you just decided that, all you would have to do is make sure you got your body weight down and do it over a long period of time so that you're, you know, you're doing cardio, you're eating right, you're making sure, and then keep your weight in that range.
00:12:21.000
To fluctuate 10 pounds one way or the other and still be fairly healthy.
00:12:25.000
It's just a matter of how much certain kinds of exercise you do and how much time.
00:12:30.000
But the thing about the certain kinds of exercise is once people got some power, they don't want to give that power up.
00:12:34.000
And if you're like 175 but jacked and you really would be better off 165 but a little thinner, you know, like cardio-wise, a lot of guys don't want to give up that power.
00:12:43.000
But also, you know, some guys are huge for their weight class, and for whatever reason, like Darren Till, and who's the guy in Bellator who lost Rory Markham in the title fight, Rory McDonald?
00:12:57.000
And I think sometimes some people have the kind of body, like some people have a body, like they're 230, but their weight's all on their ass and legs, and they have small upper bodies.
00:13:06.000
And maybe that's not as good as someone like, I don't know, who has...
00:13:13.000
But the real thing should be, what do you really weigh?
00:13:18.000
All the other stuff is just, we've just agreed upon this because we've been doing it this way for so long.
00:13:22.000
It should be, get to a healthy weight, what do you weigh, and there's got to be more weight class.
00:13:33.000
They make you urinate and they check your urine and they check the weight of your urine.
00:13:39.000
There's a bunch of different sophisticated ways to do it.
00:13:43.000
Yeah, because the more minerals and the more stuff is in your urine, it indicates how much water you have in your body.
00:13:51.000
Like what percentage of water you have in your body, whether or not you're dehydrated.
00:14:00.000
A clear, that means you're more hydrated, right?
00:14:05.000
If you've taken a bunch of vitamins, you can still pee dark.
00:14:15.000
Some of it does come out in your urine, but some of it still is getting absorbed in your body.
00:14:20.000
It's not all of it that's going out in your urine.
00:14:34.000
Hey, man, they might seriously be looking at her as a big-time executive, like the female Dana White for Asia.
00:14:44.000
Well, Rich Franklin's doing it, too, though, right?
00:14:49.000
I'm not sure what he does, but he's got some kind of executive job.
00:15:02.000
They're not going to commit to you unless you commit to them.
00:15:09.000
Dude, Brandon Vera is a monster in heavyweight.
00:15:33.000
You know, he had a hard time in the UFC, dude, because there was this one period of time where they were in contract negotiations, and I feel like he lost a lot of momentum there.
00:15:41.000
Well, because remember, he beat Frank Mir, and then goes, I'm going to be the light heavyweight champion and heavyweight champion.
00:15:59.000
Didn't he also fight Fabricio Verdum and he got trapped under the mount?
00:16:10.000
I remember you realized he had really good jiu-jitsu.
00:16:53.000
Well, what's crazy is his wrestling and his grappling was like what you would think if you looked at his skill set, but it's like he just got so good at striking early on.
00:17:06.000
Dude, remember when Frank Mir came back after the motorcycle accident?
00:17:20.000
Dude, you see him in the UFC. Big time head kick knockout.
00:17:25.000
Well, he knocked out Frank Mir with a head kick.
00:17:37.000
But in 1FC, you see him soccer kick dudes in the face?
00:17:41.000
When they let him kick people on the ground, first of all, he's so much bigger now.
00:17:46.000
And some poor soul he fought was like, oh, there's soccer kicks?
00:17:52.000
So you're allowed to kick that guy on the ground?
00:17:54.000
While the guys are on the ground, he's soccer kicking them in the head.
00:18:02.000
Dude, but that soccer head kick, they'll make you rethink your entire life.
00:18:06.000
The soccer head kick, there's so much power in that.
00:18:09.000
It is probably the most powerful kick you could do, honestly.
00:18:13.000
It's one of those weird kicks that doesn't really show up in martial arts, except if you allow someone to kick someone when they're down.
00:18:20.000
Because that's the only time or ever you can generate that kind of power.
00:18:24.000
Because if you really think about it, like everything else, you've got to kind of teach your foot.
00:18:50.000
First of all, Brandon Vera looks like a video game character now.
00:18:56.000
No, he looks like Saget off Street Fighter now.
00:19:16.000
There's another one when he's head-kicking the guy while the guy's down.
00:19:21.000
He was like the first real big-time athlete that I remember.
00:19:25.000
But some people think that this is a better way to express fighting because this is realistic.
00:19:43.000
We're not even paying attention to this fight at all.
00:19:52.000
You know, UFC Fight Pass is working on getting this league.
00:19:56.000
I think it's in Burma, where you just wrap your hands.
00:20:22.000
But the fact that headbutts are legal, holy shit.
00:20:25.000
So Frank Grillo in Fight World went to Cambodia and lived with them and studied with them.
00:20:29.000
And the problem is they don't have ice in Cambodia.
00:20:32.000
So when they get hit in the face and stuff, they just stay swollen.
00:20:47.000
And are you allowed to hit to the back of the head?
00:20:51.000
You know, Eddie and I have talked about this a hundred times, but it's an important fact that when you watch head kicks, there's a lot of the time head kicks are landing to the back of the head.
00:21:01.000
Like you say you can't hit someone in the back of the head, right?
00:21:04.000
If I go over your shoulder and I kick you, I'm kicking the back of the head.
00:21:12.000
Like a lot of right hands, a guy that hits him right in the fucking back of the head.
00:21:16.000
Bring up Ernesto Host when he hits Maurice Green.
00:21:23.000
Dude, he wraps his head around your fucking head and his neck just goes...
00:21:31.000
I was good friends with Maurice when that was going on.
00:21:33.000
Maurice was fighting when, you know, he probably shouldn't have been doing it anymore.
00:21:41.000
But I mean, he was fighting pro kickboxing while he was also doing MMA. And Maurice is a world-class kickboxer.
00:21:47.000
But I really think for you to fight a guy like Ernesto Hoost, you kind of have to be kickboxing all the time.
00:21:57.000
Like, for real, was a super skilled world champion kickboxer.
00:22:20.000
But the thing about him, you know, here's another one.
00:22:23.000
He looks like a super fighter game, too, right?
00:22:25.000
Doesn't he look like some kind of video game character in these images?
00:22:41.000
He was very long and almost like Stylebender-like.
00:22:45.000
And then he got super jacked later in his part.
00:23:07.000
But did Bob Sapp have the fuck-up shoulder, or was it Ernesto?
00:23:09.000
Remember, they kept hitting it, and that's what stopped the fight?
00:23:17.000
One of them had a really fucked up shoulder and he kept kicking it.
00:23:22.000
That had to be one that he lost because he won the two fights that he had against Ernesto that I'm aware of.
00:23:33.000
I don't remember the second fight or if they even fought twice or three times.
00:23:40.000
When you really think about it, Maury Smith worked with Bob Sapp as well, taught him a lot about kickboxing.
00:23:45.000
But when you think about it, Maury Smith was like the first real high-level kickboxer to become successful at MMA. Yep.
00:23:54.000
Remember when he fought Conan Silvera and head kicked him?
00:23:57.000
Everybody was like, you can't beat a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt.
00:24:13.000
No, I think it was 97. 97, it might have even been 98. He kept saying, come on, come on, come on.
00:24:23.000
And you saw Mark at one point got kicked one too many times and just went...
00:24:34.000
The problem was Maury Smith has a very good defensive guard.
00:24:49.000
He was also an easy 230. He actually played lockdown too.
00:24:56.000
Yeah, look, Maury Smith is a smart guy, and his kickboxing was so high-level, man.
00:25:02.000
When he started fighting these MMA fighters, they realized that he could defend himself off of his back, but if you're standing up with him, you're just fucked, man.
00:25:11.000
Yeah, the problem was Mark Coleman never really worked on his guard passing back then.
00:25:17.000
He just assumed that when you take someone down, you just get on top of them and beat the shit out of them.
00:25:23.000
But that's true if you don't have any kind of guard.
00:25:26.000
But Maurice Smith had a professional defensive guard.
00:25:36.000
I don't think they fought with gloves on either.
00:25:45.000
Do you remember the most important guard position when headbutts are allowed?
00:26:04.000
Jon Jones dropped Vitor Belfort with a front leg sidekick once.
00:26:09.000
Front leg sidekick, one of the most underrated kicks.
00:26:14.000
Do you think Vitor Belfort's cage side tonight with Chuck Thielen rushes the cage?
00:26:25.000
If they'd let him, if the UFC let him go over there.
00:26:41.000
I mean, if they're testing Chuck and Tito, you've got to test Vitor, too.
00:27:06.000
Neil Magny, I don't know if it's the jet lag or what.
00:27:08.000
He's my boy, but it was a late start and he got eight the fuck up.
00:27:13.000
He said he got poked in the eye, like, early in the first round, and he just couldn't decide, like, depth.
00:27:18.000
He had no idea what to do, so he's just always, like, waiting.
00:27:23.000
And, you know, there's a solution in the works.
00:27:30.000
No, they have a better glove design that they're working on right now.
00:27:40.000
Dude, I also heard they're doing something about a rumor.
00:27:55.000
You mean they might get rid of USADA and we're back to your old days?
00:27:59.000
I don't know if they were getting rid of it, but maybe a little...
00:28:14.000
It's like we all accept that the front leg side or the turning side kick or spinning back kick, we all accept that puts people out, right?
00:28:21.000
Well, how much harder is your turning side kick than your front leg side kick?
00:28:29.000
But how much does it take, really, to make your body cave in?
00:28:32.000
Because my front leg sidekick is way harder than my left hook.
00:28:39.000
So if you think, like, of course you can left hook someone in the body and drop them and fuck them up bad.
00:28:45.000
Well, why wouldn't you think that you could do that also with a front leg sidekick on a regular basis?
00:28:55.000
You've got to develop that quick snap, and that's what most guys are missing.
00:28:59.000
Most guys, it comes out too slow, so it's like a push.
00:29:03.000
You can keep the power in your left hook probably until you're in your 60s versus a front-side kick is an athletic move.
00:29:09.000
There's really no heavyweight to kick that much.
00:29:30.000
Well, there must be someone we're not thinking of.
00:29:41.000
Yeah, I was hoping that was going to be something we would acquire, right?
00:29:46.000
Like, get some sort of Rico Verhoeven type character.
00:29:51.000
Because he's fighting MMA, and he's training at AKA. Well, listen, stand-up-wise, he's on not just one level, but so many levels above most people in MMA. Really?
00:30:03.000
As far as strict stand-up, but that doesn't always translate.
00:30:09.000
The distance is different, the timing, your stance.
00:30:25.000
Yeah, he's about 240-plus pounds, and the guy has mad cardio.
00:30:31.000
He puts a crazy pace on these guys, and he's a striker.
00:30:41.000
You want some of that, B? What the fuck is going on?
00:31:17.000
That guy's beat some of the best in the world out of all the guys.
00:31:37.000
Isn't it weird that guy must do fucking tons of cardio, but his gut just stays.
00:32:17.000
He's 15. If I had a guess, I would say he's like 29. How old is he?
00:32:22.000
The Dutch are the tallest people in the world, right?
00:32:24.000
They're the biggest people in the world in general.
00:32:28.000
I don't know if they're the biggest people in the world, but they average...
00:32:30.000
I heard they're the tallest people in the world.
00:32:32.000
Dude, I'd love to see him and Alistair Overeem go out in MMA. A couple of big boys.
00:32:41.000
But Alistair would definitely stand up with him for a little bit.
00:32:44.000
Which is what he does, but he would take him down.
00:32:50.000
Yeah, and his ground and pound will fuck you up.
00:32:55.000
He was known for his guillotine for a little bit.
00:32:57.000
Yeah, and it's also, he's just had so many more MMA fights.
00:33:04.000
But Verhoeven, he has an advantage over basically everybody right now in heavyweight.
00:33:10.000
Saki has that smooth build, too, where he's just like, you know what?
00:33:14.000
But what's interesting is Saki, what is he, fighting 185 in the UFC? Yeah.
00:33:23.000
Yeah, he should be fighting 185. What's that, bro?
00:33:30.000
Rico Verhoeven is not even 30. So is he in the UFC yet or no?
00:33:33.000
He's making his way through smaller organizations.
00:33:49.000
And he's training with Kane and DC. Heavyweight.
00:33:56.000
You better get that jiu-jitsu together, though.
00:34:17.000
Again, rumor on super dark web rumor is that there's going to be a change with USADA moving forward a little bit.
00:34:39.000
Dude, you do not want that guy on top of you growing and powering you.
00:34:49.000
It's supposed to have been a while ago if it's on Inside MMA. He's still doing that high cover-up, which obviously worked there.
00:35:11.000
I like how he's punching the ribs from the mound.
00:35:18.000
You get a real striker on top of you that actually could turn their hips in.
00:35:24.000
Do you remember when Cro Cop got on top of Gabriel Gonzaga?
00:35:35.000
And then Gabriel got good with elbows from the bottom.
00:35:48.000
I can't tell if it's the same one, but the video is more recent.
00:35:59.000
It says debut, but I don't know how it would be.
00:36:10.000
So, like, what got him to become an elite kickboxer, that kind of intelligence as well as hard work, he's just gonna translate that to MMA. He's just gotta make sure that he fixes the holes in his game.
00:36:25.000
He's at the right camp, AK, with the wrestlers.
00:36:34.000
I think only one time ever, maybe twice, has someone gotten knocked out while they were mounting somebody from the bottom.
00:36:44.000
You're saying the guy on the mount got knocked out?
00:36:48.000
Yeah, it's happened at least once, maybe twice.
00:36:51.000
Getting knocked out while you're being mounted.
00:37:23.000
And Dwayne punched it from the bottom and hurt him really bad.
00:37:28.000
Dude, how long has this fight taken to get to this point?
00:37:48.000
They're a command economy, though, where a lot of decisions are made by the Politburo, by the actual government, and then from there...
00:38:10.000
You know, when I went to Beijing for Abu Dhabi, and in the hotels, boom, they have the TV on with the propaganda in your face.
00:38:23.000
Yeah, it's a documentary that's on, you know, it's the default setting on your TVs in Beijing.
00:38:30.000
When you get there, you sit down to watch TV and a documentary on how bad the United States is is playing?
00:38:39.000
The United States is, you know, they're just going down the list of all the things that the United States does that is detrimental to society.
00:38:51.000
Did you have to do your fingerprints on the machine?
00:38:53.000
All your fingerprints are recorded, and then you're given, at least when I was shooting a movie, you were given a...
00:38:59.000
Yeah, you were given a memo to say, if you, in no political dissent, like, you will not voice your political point of view if it's contrary to the government's, you know, line.
00:39:11.000
Didn't some American kid, like, try and steal something?
00:39:18.000
The UCLA basketball team stole, like, some sunglasses.
00:39:27.000
But Deng Xiaoping said famously, to be rich is glorious, which was so contrary to the communist manifesto.
00:39:33.000
Well, it's cool as fuck that they're allowing the UFC in there, so it can't be that communist.
00:39:39.000
Well, that's the next big push for the UFC, right?
00:39:42.000
I mean, internationally, they're growing like this.
00:39:45.000
You have to keep trying to find servers that would provide Google and the internet in China.
00:39:51.000
Because they limit you to the access of everything, right?
00:39:53.000
Yes, and then they find you and they shut that down and you've got to find another one.
00:39:56.000
So anybody who worked on the set couldn't get...
00:40:02.000
So when I was an actor, I was given a phone with WeChat.
00:40:05.000
It's a phone issued to me that I can use there.
00:40:08.000
I can't use, technically, my phone and link into the World Wide Web.
00:40:16.000
And then, by the way, if you want to use your phone, you download something called WeChat, which is an app, which, you know, is controlled by somebody, so it's...
00:40:30.000
And if you say something derogatory about the government...
00:40:34.000
And something like WeChat, they probably monitor it.
00:40:42.000
It's an amazing example of how you can control a lot of people.
00:40:46.000
And then North Korea, there is no internet, correct?
00:40:50.000
They get no internet, no TV channels, no HBO. I talked to a friend of mine who works for the government, and his wife works for the government too, and they had to go to Russia for something.
00:40:59.000
And he said, you were told, just absolutely think you're being followed everywhere you go.
00:41:06.000
Assume they're listening to every word you say.
00:41:18.000
WeChat is recording private messages for Beijing to spy on users.
00:41:22.000
Did you even use the phone really, B? Not really.
00:41:24.000
You text me every now and then tell me how bad it sucked.
00:41:26.000
Hasn't that been happening already for a while?
00:41:33.000
When it's confirmed like that, it just freaks people out, as well it should.
00:41:39.000
This is why freedom of expression and freedom of speech in this country is so important.
00:41:44.000
Because while this is happening here in the United States, and freedom of speech is, you know, something that gets up for debate sometimes.
00:41:53.000
It's like, who gets to decide who gets to say this and gets to say that?
00:41:59.000
Any kind of censorship is right while we're here being able to talk shit on a podcast, there are big giant spots in the world filled with billions of people that can't do this.
00:42:24.000
I mean, one of the things that came out in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, what's come out is that these governments are saying, the royal family of the people that are in power, they go, well, there's political dissent.
00:42:36.000
So you've got journalists or people who form groups that force, say, let's say democracy or elections.
00:42:48.000
They hire American mercenaries to take care of their terrorist problem.
00:42:50.000
And their terrorist problem means that they get, as long as the American company gets issued weaponry and orders from the standing army...
00:43:05.000
But it was just exposed where there were these ex-badass special forces guys making a fortune essentially acting as mercenaries in countries like the United Arab Emirates, etc.
00:43:19.000
Now that's the royal family saying it's a terrorist problem when it could very well be just a political group.
00:43:26.000
So, you know, but the bigger issue in this country is apparently from what I'm seeing in my own experience is that when you put a certain ad on Facebook and Facebook decides that that ad might be offensive to someone.
00:43:44.000
And so even if you say get in the best shape of your life or whatever it might be, that might make other people feel uncomfortable.
00:43:51.000
For whatever reason, it's either a bot, an algorithm, or somebody is flagging that ad or shutting down your account.
00:43:58.000
And I know a number of people that that's happened to.
00:44:03.000
But you know also, too, is if, let's say you do an ad or you do a post on Instagram.
00:44:07.000
Let's say you have 2 million followers on how many you have.
00:44:10.000
And you do a post, you know they limit how many people it reaches now?
00:44:14.000
You have to pay extra to make sure it reaches more people.
00:44:36.000
One of those fitness people that grow their Instagram by just putting very...
00:44:41.000
There's guys that I follow that are just like super jacked and they're doing like one-arm chin-ups and shit.
00:44:52.000
They're always in a gym where they can work out shirtless.
00:45:04.000
If they can promote their posts, man, they'll reach all these extra people.
00:45:12.000
What I'm not a fan of is what I have a question about.
00:45:15.000
Is there somebody in charge of what's permissible and what's not according to a certain code of conduct?
00:45:25.000
So if I put out something that has profanity or maybe a stand-up clip where I want to get people and it's a clip that is offensive to said person whose responsibility is, they can go, no.
00:45:38.000
But see, with the dudes with their shirts off, flex and shit, when they're trying to get clients, that's fine.
00:45:44.000
And they can promote and reach other people outside their followers is what it should be.
00:45:48.000
But if you have 100,000 followers, it should reach all 100,000 that you built.
00:45:55.000
There's going to be a new Instagram if they start doing that shit and it gets out of hand.
00:46:06.000
Jamie would be able to speak to this better than me.
00:46:08.000
Has that ever been proved that they actually do shadow ban people?
00:46:13.000
The term that's been used is that if you, say, were on Twitter and maybe you were conservative and you said a lot of rude things about liberals, that maybe they would decide that although it doesn't violate the terms of service, what you do is it makes them uncomfortable.
00:46:31.000
And they decide to limit your engagement with other people.
00:46:41.000
What you're saying with the paying of posts, too, it happens similarly there, too.
00:46:46.000
If you were an account that never paid, and once you pay, once you give them five bucks, you're flagged now as an account that will pay.
00:47:01.000
You don't have to, but there are brands that pay.
00:47:07.000
The top trending topic for the last year or two is a paid, it says paid or promoted.
00:47:14.000
All of them are going to it because they get money now.
00:47:27.000
Who gets banned more, conservatives or liberals?
00:47:31.000
There's liberals that have put out death threats.
00:47:48.000
They violate their terms of service and definitely if you incite violence, that's definitely a no-no.
00:48:00.000
You can call someone a fuckhead, but you can't call them like a guinea fuckhead.
00:48:07.000
There's certain things you can say and certain things you can't say, but it's a lot of it subjective.
00:48:11.000
But then some of it's pretty black and white, like if you're like, man, I want to go, or someone should blow up that fucking school, fuck those kids, or the racist stuff.
00:48:20.000
I think you've got to regulate the hate, too, if it's just bullying and shit like that.
00:48:29.000
Who gets to decide what's hateful and what's not?
00:48:33.000
And the problem is they keep pushing it further and further and further and then even just insults are hateful.
00:48:45.000
There's only so far you can keep going down that road.
00:48:51.000
You want to make sure that you have free expression.
00:48:53.000
You don't get free expression If you ban people from saying things that just don't seem that bad to me.
00:49:12.000
I think something happened that he did had nothing to do with even what he said.
00:49:21.000
Yeah, the final event happened after he confronted people in Congress.
00:49:26.000
Alex Jones has a regular on, a former CIA officer, Dr. Steve Pachenik.
00:49:36.000
That's where he got the Sandy Hook information was from him.
00:49:44.000
That's the dumbest fucking thing that Alex Jones has ever done.
00:49:58.000
I mean, I'm not making any accusations, but you'd have to always wonder when you hear a story like that.
00:50:03.000
Why would someone say something so ridiculous and why would someone try to convince someone like Alex Jones?
00:50:15.000
If you could talk him into repeating what you said.
00:50:27.000
But whether he's right or wrong, Dr. Steve Buchanek said it several times on his show.
00:50:34.000
But for Alex to believe him, it's not that crazy.
00:50:38.000
He's hearing it from a guy who was in the CIA. It's not that crazy for him to believe in a guy.
00:50:45.000
But it started with Alex actually saying, he said, unfortunately, he goes, something to the effect of, I saw it, it was very sad, but unfortunately, I've seen a lot of soap operas.
00:51:04.000
And he's being sued by a law firm in Connecticut.
00:51:12.000
And they said, basically, what the fuck you're doing?
00:51:14.000
He goes, listen, I say a lot of things just for entertainment.
00:51:19.000
But during his trial with his wife or something, I don't follow it too much.
00:51:22.000
But he did admit, he's like, I don't believe it.
00:51:48.000
When you say bone broth cures cancer, you're going to sell books.
00:51:51.000
When you say, my plant-based diet is proven to do blah, blah, blah, whatever, you're going to make money.
00:51:58.000
If you say, I'll help you lose weight and keep it off in four months.
00:52:04.000
You're not going to say, hey, I'm a nutritionist guy.
00:52:17.000
So, but with Alex Jones, is he banned for life or does he not have a business?
00:52:24.000
He's got a big lawsuit he's got to worry about.
00:52:27.000
But they got rid of his show, it happened to all the followers and shit.
00:52:30.000
No, the only thing that happened is they pulled him off of YouTube and they pulled him off of Twitter.
00:52:37.000
And he's got a major lawsuit with a law firm that doesn't Well, there's two guys that are being sued over that.
00:52:52.000
That guy, his job was to prepare schools for school shootings.
00:53:03.000
Wait, he started saying that Sandy Hook isn't real?
00:53:10.000
But they didn't show up for, when he went to court, they never showed up, so they dropped the case.
00:53:17.000
No, they haven't dropped the case against Alex Jones.
00:53:34.000
But I do have thoughts on why someone would try to get other people to say it's fake.
00:53:38.000
And if there's anything that's ever going to convince you that conspiracy theories are stupid...
00:53:46.000
It's making up a fake conspiracy, an easily provable fake conspiracy about a real tragedy.
00:53:53.000
That's a nice simple psychological way to discredit people.
00:53:57.000
If I thought you were a dumbass but you had a big voice, I might talk you into saying some shit.
00:54:03.000
About something that's not real and have you convinced it's real so you spout it out and you look like a moron.
00:54:10.000
And you have to be really careful with a lot of these stories.
00:54:12.000
There's a lot of these conspiracy theories that literally start out a joke.
00:54:16.000
They start out in 4chan and a lot of these chat rooms as trolls and then before you know it it becomes a real thing.
00:54:25.000
It's said over and over again and then morons get a hold of it and they start trying to prove it's true.
00:54:42.000
I don't listen to him, so I can't speak on him.
00:54:46.000
I'm very sad that he said that Sandy Hook isn't real.
00:54:53.000
You would say he's an articulate, smart guy, right?
00:54:58.000
It's not like you can just honeydick him like, dude, Sandy Hook.
00:55:06.000
And this is the problem with someone who hunts out conspiracies.
00:55:17.000
This is the problem is when you have a vested interest in them being real.
00:55:25.000
So the problem is if you have a vested interest in them being real and you exclude information that would point to them not being real.
00:55:32.000
And you use confirmation bias, and you fuck up, and then you try to convince other people that you're correct.
00:55:38.000
This is something that people will fall into when it comes to conspiracy theories.
00:55:44.000
But if you're a conspiracy theory, which ones have been proven correct?
00:55:55.000
You know, there's many documentaries and books that have been written on the Enron conspiracy.
00:55:59.000
These guys got together and they figured out how to make a kajillion dollars and fuck people over.
00:56:13.000
There's wise people to think the 2008 housing crisis, that that was all on purpose.
00:56:23.000
The housing bubble, there have been great books written on the housing bubble.
00:56:26.000
Michael Lewis' book, The Big Short, is a good book on it.
00:56:35.000
It all depends on how much circumstantial evidence makes you throw up some red flags.
00:56:47.000
Like, some people, they just don't see the red flags.
00:56:49.000
And some people, their red flags go up right away.
00:57:00.000
At a certain point, when you have circumstantial evidence, at a certain point...
00:57:16.000
There's no actual proof of the conspiracy that there was multiple shooters or the CIA and the mob.
00:57:24.000
There's no actual proof, but there's a lot of circumstantial evidence.
00:57:28.000
So it all depends on how much circumstantial evidence do you need for any particular conspiracy theory where you go, oh shit, there's enough circumstantial evidence.
00:57:38.000
Like if there was a murder, right, and you were being accused and only one person said, you know, I saw Brendan like four blocks away from the restaurant where his friend was killed.
00:57:47.000
If just that one person saw you, that's one piece of circumstantial evidence.
00:57:52.000
But if a hundred people said they saw you two blocks away in the parking lot, none of it alone, none of it standing alone will put you in jail.
00:58:00.000
But at a certain point, enough circumstantial evidence will put dudes in jail.
00:58:05.000
Or if enough people tell the same story about you, like with Cosby.
00:58:12.000
They're all telling the exact same story about the same MOU guy.
00:58:15.000
Well, not only that, Cosby had gone to court and had a lawsuit sealed and paid her woman off.
00:58:23.000
Yeah, so this was a part of the whole thing, was that he had to come out and, you know, they had to defend that in his most recent trial.
00:58:30.000
I just got done watching those Monica Lewinsky tapes.
00:58:36.000
The other problem with someone like Alex Jones who makes a lot of money off his conspiracies and things is that once he says something, I know a pretty good friend of his, Alex, and the problem is once you say something and you have that big of a following,
00:58:52.000
So let's just say you float out of conspiracy, but then you look at evidence and you start to realize, maybe I overstepped my balance.
00:58:56.000
We all say things we wish we hadn't, or we all say things, but now you've got a whole movement behind what you said.
00:59:02.000
Now to try to pull back would turn, No matter how outlandish it is.
00:59:25.000
It's also this rush to say you know something when you don't know it.
00:59:31.000
There's a rush to say, we absolutely know this happened.
00:59:45.000
Information on these tragic events or something like that.
00:59:48.000
Or you don't think so, B? I'm just looking at you, Brandon.
00:59:50.000
Listen, I think he has some people to tell him.
00:59:55.000
Eddie, he's floating a fucking huge worm out there for you.
01:00:01.000
I strategically come on this show and try not to talk about conspiracy theories, but I always get sucked back into them.
01:00:20.000
You're asking questions that someone with one eye open has.
01:00:45.000
But I'm not asking you to go down the crazy, you know, and tell the conspiracy theories.
01:00:51.000
But he has his black belt in conspiracy theories.
01:00:56.000
Brian didn't say that there are no black belts in conspiracy theories.
01:01:21.000
I did not like the way they pulled him off of Maia's back.
01:01:26.000
He was standing up, had one lap wrapped around.
01:01:28.000
The referee separated them, and I was like, what are you doing?
01:01:32.000
Do you know how hard it is for him to get to that position?
01:01:35.000
Oh, and he's the best grappler on the fucking planet.
01:02:02.000
Just because it's so exciting when it's good, they want it to be exciting all the time.
01:02:08.000
There's going to be fights where, to fight correctly, they have to fight in a way that's not as entertaining.
01:02:22.000
You can't not fight the right way just because it's more interesting for people that don't understand what's happening.
01:02:52.000
Dos Anjos went to 70 and just became a fucking beef.
01:02:55.000
Yeah, but he didn't look that good against our boy Colby Covington.
01:03:00.000
No, Colby put on that pressure, that crazy pace.
01:03:11.000
I know Woodley doesn't want to have it because he's probably angry at the dude.
01:03:14.000
Dude, I wish I would have done Colby, Ben Askren.
01:03:17.000
You're going to see angry Tyron Woodley versus Colby Covington.
01:03:27.000
Dude, think about the fucking guys he's fought recently, whether it's Darren Till or Thompson.
01:03:32.000
Both guys known to be really high-level strikers.
01:03:44.000
He hit him with some decent shots, but not the way Tyron hit him.
01:03:50.000
He dropped Thompson in both fights, and then Darren Till, he knocked out.
01:03:53.000
Well, he dropped him and then he choked him out.
01:03:56.000
Yeah, he dropped him and then he darced him, remember?
01:04:03.000
He probably had been rattled by all those punches and elbows and shit on the ground, too.
01:04:13.000
Do you know there's a fight for nine weeks in a row?
01:04:35.000
For a second there, they were thinking it was the last season, right?
01:04:38.000
Well, when you say really well, Dana said it makes money.
01:04:45.000
Because of those, it's hard to tell when someone just watches something in the moment, right?
01:04:56.000
When they're talking about the numbers that they get, that shit is voodoo.
01:05:00.000
Alright, if you get a number, like say if you put up a YouTube video and it gets a million hits, that's a million hits.
01:05:08.000
We don't know how many people it is, because some people will watch it five or six times, but that's still a million.
01:05:13.000
When they're doing like Nielsen ratings, shit, that's voodoo.
01:05:22.000
Well, now on Thrones, we know that shit is topic.
01:05:24.000
Now what they do is, because I know this from my show, now what they do is they will do Nielsen, but then They wait.
01:05:35.000
You know, they have all these different metrics.
01:05:37.000
And is the metric still coming from them having to fill out forms?
01:05:57.000
Because if, let's say, 30 million people watch your special, like, hey man, we're just going to run it back the same thing as last year, and you're like, what?
01:06:15.000
When did they start allowing nudity on YouTube?
01:06:57.000
I'm like, I wonder if porn is making it onto YouTube.
01:07:05.000
Isn't that weird that we'll make a distinction between topless or bottomless?
01:07:09.000
Like, topless, yeah, it's kind of racy, but bottomless, oh God.
01:07:16.000
Is everybody here going to the Tyson Fury fight?
01:07:26.000
I'm gonna watch that from the comfort of my own home, sir.
01:07:34.000
And then if I have to poop, I'm going to pause it.
01:07:39.000
So I'm not going to have any idea what happened.
01:08:01.000
You know what YouTube's doing that's awesome now?
01:08:04.000
Anytime you punch in, like if you punch in Moonhoax, like if you want to watch a conspiracy theory video on the Moonhoax, they're going to put a link right on, right under it, boom, that takes you to the Wikipedia of the Apollo landings.
01:08:22.000
They're basically debunking the conspiracy theory video right there for you.
01:08:54.000
If men can take their shirts off, why can't women?
01:09:17.000
You know in San Francisco you can walk around naked, but you know what the rule is?
01:09:53.000
And how about them putting the debunker videos on conspiracy?
01:09:57.000
Like, if you put a punch in Moonhoax right now, right under the video.
01:10:04.000
But if I type in Moon Landing, does it send me some hoax, too?
01:10:22.000
Like, the way he looks physically there, he looks good.
01:10:29.000
Even though he looks great, like you look at him right now, you go, damn, he looks great.
01:10:33.000
The problem with him is you always judge him against what he looked like when he came and he fought Brock.
01:10:38.000
When he was Uber-eam, when he was the K-1 Grand Prix champion.
01:10:43.000
Dude, when he was Uber-eam, he was a special thing.
01:11:14.000
He knocked Badr Hari out with a left hook and Badr Hari stopped him in the rematch.
01:11:19.000
Yeah, Badr Hari stopped him in the rematch in the first fight with Badr Hari.
01:11:23.000
I think the story was that Badr Hari was not training very much.
01:11:35.000
He fought one MMA fight, I believe, Badr Hari did.
01:11:56.000
He's got some amazing fights on his highlight reel.
01:11:59.000
Dude, how about your first fight in the UFC, this Russian dude?
01:12:02.000
Obviously he's a champ in this Russian organization.
01:12:04.000
And they're like, hey, you gotta call the UFC. Cool, who am I fighting?
01:12:17.000
Because he wins and, you know, he's at heavyweight.
01:12:30.000
Shazinski, he had fucking tattoos everywhere, still does.
01:12:40.000
So when you're looking at Overeem, even though he does look great, you compare his looking great to what he looked like when he was Ubering.
01:12:50.000
No, he used to be a fucking 911 GTS 3RS, and now he's just a regular 911. Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.
01:13:10.000
Most skilled heavyweight striking in the UFC ever.
01:13:22.000
Sparring with him is such a joy because he's so technical.
01:13:31.000
But he's one of the best strikers to ever fight in MMA. Ever, man.
01:13:45.000
No, I mean, he got hit, but when he's hurt, you know it.
01:13:48.000
It doesn't take much with the over-ring because he's been hit so many times.
01:13:56.000
He just doesn't take shots as well as he did when he was uber-ringing, too, because of the size of his neck.
01:14:05.000
He used to have these built-in shock absorbers all around his head.
01:14:26.000
Definitely the best knees in the heavyweight division.
01:14:32.000
I don't know how he got knocked out, but it was on the news that he had a severe concussion.
01:14:47.000
That's the guy who got struck by lightning that Oliver Sacks studied.
01:14:52.000
You guys are thinking of a John Travolta movie.
01:14:57.000
The guy who got struck by lightning who became obsessed with piano and became a concert pianist.
01:15:05.000
But there's also someone who got fucked either lightning or had a horrible concussion and woke up just fluent in Chinese.
01:15:14.000
Yeah, but it's one of those things where you hear about it and you go, wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:15:21.000
I think there's some people that definitely get struck by lightning and then all of a sudden they're good at math.
01:15:32.000
It turns out that the more you get knocked out, the smarter you get.
01:15:48.000
But then you'd get to knock people out on a daily basis.
01:15:52.000
The thing about it, he's been working with Curtis Blade, so I'm assuming he's been working this a shitload.
01:15:56.000
What I think is really cool is when a mathematician works on a crazy math problem his whole life, it bears no relevance to the physical world, then 100 years later, they're using it to put a rover on Mars or something.
01:16:21.000
Did you see that fucking missionary, the Christian missionary?
01:16:27.000
He's like, no, I'm going to give the word of Jesus.
01:17:08.000
I mean, look, when he fought Stipe, remember when he hurt Stipe?
01:17:11.000
It's just as possible that he could have stopped.
01:17:19.000
Well, that was when I decided not to interview people that have been KO'd.
01:17:28.000
Dude, I wouldn't mind seeing him versus Francis again.
01:17:36.000
I don't want to see anybody get hit like that again.
01:17:46.000
They used to be sort of uncontacted, but they got contacted in the 1800s by this guy.
01:17:53.000
Now this is a guy on Twitter posted this amazing review of all this stuff.
01:18:05.000
So he posted this really long, detailed history of what happened to these people on a guy named Maurice Vidal Portman.
01:18:15.000
And this guy apparently stayed on the island for a long time and people got sick because of these people being there.
01:18:27.000
But he measured their dick sizes, and he measured their ball sizes.
01:18:33.000
It's really freaky shit, but really, really interesting.
01:18:40.000
He treated them like moths and stuff, but talked about them in really weird sexual terms.
01:18:54.000
So when people go back now, they immediately kill them.
01:18:58.000
So because of this one dickwad that landed there 100 years ago, they think of white people as evil.
01:19:06.000
I want to say it was like 2006. They fell asleep and their boat drifted onto the island.
01:19:11.000
They just fucking hatched them and arrowed them and killed them on the beach.
01:19:17.000
If you think about it, it's really smart in a fucked up way because if they come into contact with one of us, their entire population could be wiped out because they don't have immunity.
01:19:40.000
Dude, I'm pretty sure the last full Satanist island.
01:19:58.000
They just say white people because that one dude came and fucked everything up.
01:20:01.000
And they're like, you see a white person, kill them.
01:20:07.000
It's like saying that you understand what they're saying.
01:20:17.000
They don't even have any contact at all at the outside world.
01:20:28.000
So there was a cargo ship that ran aground there many years ago.
01:20:32.000
See, there was in 1981. And the crew radioed for assistance.
01:20:38.000
And then they got 50 men with bows and arrows were showing up to try to get to the boat.
01:20:51.000
And then from that boat, they started getting metal tools.
01:21:03.000
These people took pieces of metal and cold forged them into weapons and shit.
01:21:08.000
Like, pounded them down with rocks and created knives and stuff.
01:21:15.000
They're essentially living the same way people lived 60,000 years ago.
01:21:19.000
They've been on this isolated island ever since then.
01:21:23.000
We should just fly over and drop a ton of iPhones everywhere.
01:21:26.000
The problem is, they don't know how many of them there are anymore, but they know their populations are declining.
01:21:32.000
So at one point in time, there was 150 plus documented, and now they think it might be as low as 39. Because of disease and stuff, they don't have any fucking medicine.
01:21:42.000
They're probably bored of each other to stop fucking, you know, trying to get fish.
01:21:57.000
Yeah, I mean, with 39 folks, 39 folks is a small number.
01:22:03.000
And, you know, they're real, real aggressive when anybody comes anywhere near them.
01:22:07.000
But the thing is, now that we all know about it, I mean, I'm a part of the problem too, right?
01:22:12.000
Now that we all know about it, more people are going to think about going there.
01:22:15.000
I hear that and I say, fuck leaving the United States.
01:22:24.000
So it doesn't seem that remote if it's in a bay.
01:22:32.000
So homeboy who's doing God's work was like, no, I can do it.
01:22:35.000
And even writing his journal is like, man, I hope I don't die.
01:23:20.000
So they killed the guy, and then they buried him right on the beach, man.
01:23:27.000
And the Indian government said, we're not going to do anything about it.
01:23:33.000
Well, yeah, I mean, first of all, their law is you can't visit their island.
01:23:41.000
Him showing up with this book, I would imagine they have laws against people visiting.
01:23:50.000
That story that they tell about that one English guy that went there.
01:23:57.000
I hope that guy, Respectable Law on Twitter, understands how much I appreciate that.
01:24:05.000
Because I thought they were all Satanists there.
01:24:08.000
You think a group of Navy SEALs could take them all out?
01:24:23.000
I mean, they might have some crazy booby traps.
01:24:32.000
I'm hoping to open a Starbucks and Burger King franchise.
01:24:42.000
Great choice for anyone looking to rough it up a bit.
01:24:59.000
Dan Bilzerian is going to be there next month with a bikini on.
01:25:04.000
He's going to just send a boatload of vape pens.
01:25:12.000
They came from Africa, though, 60,000 years ago.
01:25:22.000
How would they figure that out if you're not allowed to go on the island?
01:25:29.000
Well, it's like in Papua New Guinea, those tribes have been isolated for 40,000 years.
01:25:36.000
But I mean, when Jared Diamond went and studied them, they'd been isolated for that long.
01:25:40.000
They practiced weird things too, like widow strangling and all kinds of stuff.
01:25:44.000
And that one tribe where the young boys suck the cocks of the older men.
01:25:54.000
That's just some weird old gay guy who started that.
01:25:58.000
But if you don't have somebody to compete with those ideas, then that gets passed down as religion.
01:26:26.000
Remember, he beat him last time, but he's coming off that steep ass-whooping, and then had the horrible fight against Derrick Lewis, which was like the worst heavyweight fight of all time.
01:26:35.000
Obviously, Derrick won that fight to the judges.
01:26:45.000
And I don't like it because obviously he struggles with wrestling.
01:26:49.000
So like, oh, here's Curtis Blaze, the best wrestler in the top five.
01:26:53.000
I wish they would give him someone else who matched up better.
01:26:55.000
No matter if he wins or loses, I just don't think it was a great idea.
01:27:18.000
There's a French name, so it makes sense that he's from the Congo.
01:27:29.000
Cameroon's one of the last places where there's sort of continuous habitat for different animals.
01:27:44.000
Now they're fighting at 3.30 in the morning, our time.
01:27:51.000
Curtis Blades just always fights on foreign land.
01:27:55.000
How many days do you need to adjust to that shit?
01:27:57.000
They had Thanksgiving over there, so I'm assuming they got...
01:27:59.000
Well, I'd imagine the UFC flies in on Tuesday like any other fight week, right?
01:28:13.000
You can, but the sunset and all that fucks you up.
01:28:17.000
The best way they say is to fast for like 16 hours and then eat.
01:28:22.000
When you get there in the morning, eat a breakfast and just get on the same eating.
01:28:29.000
Oh, that's what you did over there, right, B? I tried.
01:28:36.000
I'm going to go to Beijing and live in an apartment.
01:28:45.000
When I went to Australia, the time change fucked me up.
01:28:53.000
Isn't that weird that it's going back somehow or another?
01:28:58.000
I need to try taking melatonin when I land, when I need to go to bed that night.
01:29:09.000
I take it in the morning, but especially at night, it helps me relax.
01:29:14.000
The thing that seems to be able to reset my system better than anything is a serious fucking workout.
01:29:19.000
Like, show up somewhere and do a serious workout.
01:29:23.000
Like, do you push your cardio, lift some weights, like really get tired.
01:29:31.000
I did that in Afghanistan because I was so fucking...
01:29:36.000
Me and Dove David have worked out like a motherfucker, and I did.
01:29:43.000
Usually on the road, wherever I land, I work out.
01:29:45.000
Right when I land, I'll work out and I feel better.
01:29:55.000
We're fasting for 16 hours is the most important thing you can do.
01:30:08.000
I've heard that you should not eat on planes, too.
01:30:11.000
I've heard that you're better off just not eating on planes.
01:30:15.000
When you land, your body will be better off falling into this new time zone when you land if you just don't eat on the plane.
01:30:26.000
Dude, when they come by with that cart and they get that snack tray, they get nice cheeses and fruits and shit, Pringles.
01:30:42.000
Oh, the Swedish fish are the little cracker ones.
01:30:52.000
If I'm coming back from a long freaking couple nights.
01:31:03.000
They got food, and I was eating cheeses and wines.
01:31:08.000
No, but I just kept drinking and eating, and I just felt like, fuck.
01:31:31.000
I find that you do good writing on planes, though.
01:31:43.000
Sometimes good ideas come when you just sit like that.
01:31:46.000
It's so easy to just fuck off when you're at home.
01:31:56.000
I don't know why, but 23 minutes and then I can't move.
01:32:00.000
I think I just, you know, I just force myself to do it.
01:32:05.000
The thing is, what's weird about it is, for whatever reason, I resist doing it at first, like, ugh.
01:32:11.000
But then once I get into it and I catch a groove, I love it.
01:32:16.000
Like, at first, your skin's like, fuck, and then you're like, ugh.
01:32:21.000
I think inspiring yourself to kind of get started and then kind of figure out a way to keep it going.
01:32:28.000
I did my class this morning, that Box Marine Cardio class.
01:32:30.000
When we started, I'm like, God damn it, why did I come?
01:32:33.000
And then halfway through, I'm like, this is great.
01:32:36.000
I fucked myself up with that Sober October fitness challenge thing.
01:32:43.000
Like, afterwards, you're like, regular working out seems boring.
01:32:53.000
You'd get anxiety, like, check the app, see where everybody scores at.
01:33:02.000
You were competing against Bert Kreischer, Ari Shafir, and Tom Segura.
01:33:31.000
Dude, I'm telling you, even if you're doing it, the thing is, it's about how much time you spend.
01:33:36.000
It's not even about how hard you're working out.
01:33:38.000
See, it's like, how much time are you spending at 80% of your max heart rate?
01:34:15.000
It looked like it was almost an early stoppage.
01:34:20.000
I was going to say it looked like it was almost an early stoppage, and then they let it go on, and then it was a decent stoppage.
01:34:28.000
Didn't it seem like in the beginning that they were going to stop it?
01:34:36.000
He's got a lot of fight left in him, so that's a good stoppage for his future.
01:34:44.000
I think it was the only way he was going to lose this fight was getting caught.
01:34:54.000
Curtis Blades is a good stand-up fighter, but a really good wrestler.
01:34:57.000
His wrestling stats are some of the best in the heavyweight division ever.
01:35:03.000
He clicked on the back of the head with that hammer.
01:35:07.000
See, right there, it looked like the ref was about to stop it.
01:35:35.000
Of this referee is stepping in to stop this fight and his head kicked.
01:35:54.000
Can you imagine me and Curtis Blades right now?
01:35:55.000
You took the plane for 20 hours to fly over to get knocked down in 45 seconds.
01:36:31.000
I mean, it was the squeakiest of squeaky margins for Derek to win because nothing really happened in the fight.
01:36:41.000
We were like, holy shit, this is going to be bombs away.
01:36:45.000
That's why I think most people say it's the worst heavyweight fight because you just thought it was going to be fucking fireworks.
01:36:50.000
I think I might have even said in the commentary, there's not a doubt in my mind that this is going to be crazy.
01:36:57.000
That's fair to think with their two fighting styles.
01:37:03.000
Derek is going to be throwing haymakers, trying to find his chin.
01:37:14.000
It's real, but it's going to be an exhibition boxing match.
01:37:32.000
Unless the accuser goes up to that young kid and go, hey, here, fucking head kick him, KO. We're going to give you $2 million.
01:37:44.000
But they'll rush you through some contract negotiations.
01:37:49.000
It was weird because Floyd was like, that was all bullshit.
01:37:52.000
Then a week later, he was like, actually, we're going to do it.
01:37:54.000
Listen, man, Japanese, they do a different kind of business.
01:38:02.000
When you look at the sale of Pride, what happened with all that, they did a smart thing, a really smart thing.
01:38:10.000
One thing, they came over and they pretended they were going to have Pride fighters fight in the UFC, and UFC fighters fight in Pride.
01:38:16.000
In the early days, the UFC sent Chuck Liddell over there, and they were going to bring fighters over to America, but they never did.
01:38:26.000
And then when they bought it, they basically just bought a DVD library.
01:38:32.000
And when they got it, they couldn't even run it.
01:38:34.000
So then they had these people that were running the office.
01:38:37.000
And these people running the office, they just went off and made Dream.
01:38:55.000
And they thought they were going to operate in Japan.
01:39:02.000
But what they did with those smarts is the first thing Pride did was they pumped up their own value by bringing their fighters over here and pretending their fighters are going to fight Chuck Liddell.
01:39:13.000
Remember they had that crazy stare down way back in the day.
01:39:18.000
Everybody's always talking about Pride, but then nothing happened.
01:39:21.000
But after that, there was a point in time where they did not want Pride mentioned on the air.
01:39:33.000
The UFC also honey-dicked the WME when they sold theirs.
01:39:37.000
They went, look, dude, we got Ronda, we got Brock, we got Conor, we're doing all this big shit, man.
01:39:43.000
And then they sold it for $4 billion, and they're like, alright, Ronda's going to retire, so we can't do nothing about that.
01:39:56.000
That was the last Ronda fight, the comeback fight.
01:40:00.000
That's also probably why it was marketed the way it was marketed.
01:40:05.000
That was one of the rare times where I... Publicly was like, this is not, you guys aren't doing the right thing.
01:40:25.000
And for a couple seconds, it's like, Amanda doing something real quick, and that's it.
01:40:29.000
They sure, like, hid in a bag, but the rest was there.
01:40:30.000
First ever women's MMA champion that's a lesbian.
01:41:00.000
But Amanda versus Cyborg is super interesting to me.
01:41:10.000
How about Amanda fighting Raquel Pennington and both their girlfriends fighting the UFC too and are in their corners.
01:41:41.000
Just announced he's back, and DC posted, hey, he said the belt's waiting for a champ.
01:41:47.000
So what do you guys think of Amanda against Cyborg?
01:41:58.000
Tied to Avasa and JDS. That's a motherfucking fight.
01:42:01.000
I think only your ass favorite could probably beat Cyborg.
01:42:12.000
Amanda Nunez is probably my favorite female fighter, too.
01:42:34.000
That's on the same card as Gusvin Jones 2, too.
01:42:47.000
I think the key to anybody that's going to be able to beat Cyborg is you're going to have to catch her coming in and hurt her.
01:42:59.000
There's not a girl on this planet that can beat Cyborg in the MMA. What about that one dude that turned into a chick?
01:43:13.000
Ashley Evans-Smith, who's in the UFC, beat her, came to the UFC. Nice.
01:43:19.000
Cyborg beat both of them up at the same time now.
01:43:24.000
You've seen her spar with dudes and then that Olympian, Clarissa Shields, who's a world champion?
01:43:33.000
And this is her last fight on her contract, too.
01:43:36.000
I mean, I could easily see someone like 1FC grabbing her as well.
01:44:02.000
I've only seen highlights at one FC. How's Bellator doing in comparison to the FC? Bellator's not doing as well as the UFC, but they're doing well.
01:44:19.000
They're also with Roy McDonald, Gegard Mousasi.
01:44:26.000
What do you think about Oscar De La Hoya promoting MMI? Complete shit show.
01:44:37.000
It's not a shit show because it's Chuck and Tito.
01:44:39.000
Did you see Oscar De La Hoya at the press conference?
01:45:05.000
These guys behind me, I don't know their names, but I'm not going to remember their names.
01:45:12.000
He's like, you know, when you think of MMA, when you think of fighters at all, you just think of these two.
01:45:22.000
You gotta realize, Oscar's had, you know, how many professional fights?
01:45:45.000
It's just, you know, he's doing this because it's a good money-making venture.
01:45:50.000
Because Tito and Chuck will get benefit the most from it for money.
01:45:54.000
So I want people to buy it because of that reason.
01:46:03.000
Dean Hammer, long talks, great dude, smart dude.
01:46:07.000
Why did he get out of MMA? Because it's bullshit.
01:46:16.000
Dude, he's one of the first investors in Facebook.
01:46:25.000
And I remember he goes, well, there's a difference between being bankrupt and being MC Hammer bankrupt.
01:46:46.000
If you're white, you can't go to the island anymore?
01:47:09.000
The hard thing, though, is that the UFC is like Q-tips.
01:47:14.000
It's like when you think you don't want cotton swabs, give me some fucking Q-tips.
01:47:27.000
Some people go, do you UFC? How fucking dare you?
01:47:31.000
I would hope that they would get to the point, this is my goal, my hope, is that a lot of organizations are like a lot of these boxing organizations.
01:47:41.000
When you look at world champions like Deontay Wilder is about to fight Tyson Fury, you can have guys that have different promoters.
01:47:47.000
And they work together some sort of a deal, and then they put together the fights.
01:47:51.000
That's better for the fighters if the fights get, and the fighters and other organizations get as popular as, you know, it's like Manny Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather.
01:47:59.000
They have to have these promoters figure out how to put that fight together.
01:48:04.000
Because when Ben Askren is whooping ass over in 1FC, wouldn't you love if he just fought the champion of the UFC, or if Bellator is champion, like Gegard Mousasi fighting Woodley right now, or fighting Whitaker, I'd love to see that.
01:48:17.000
They're going to be very happy that they signed Ben Askren.
01:48:28.000
He's going to grab ahold of them and wrestle fuck them to the ground and punch their face in.
01:48:33.000
There's not going to be much they're going to be able to do to him.
01:48:35.000
A lot of people are going to be in real trouble.
01:48:48.000
You know, if you watch highlight reels, you can see all of his fights.
01:48:53.000
And then the UFC, or in 1FC, they allowed him to knee to the head on the ground, too.
01:48:57.000
You get side control and you get the fuck out of your head.
01:49:09.000
Don't say FS1. One FC. Oh, one FC. I know what you meant.
01:49:17.000
But to be able to do that, to be able to land knees to the head on the ground like that, it's a giant advantage for a wrestler.
01:49:23.000
And to take it away from them, you limit what is really good about being on top.
01:49:28.000
What's really good about being on top is you could smash them anywhere.
01:49:45.000
It makes sense for both guys, especially for Conor.
01:49:48.000
I know Conor wants the Khabib rematch, but it's like, dude, let's get one and then go back that way.
01:49:54.000
I'm not saying Cowboy's an easy fight, but it's a better matchup than Khabib or Tony.
01:50:00.000
It's going to be interesting to see what kind of shit-talking...
01:50:03.000
Because Cowboy did not have a good time with the shit-talking of Nate Diaz.
01:50:17.000
He's going to ramp it up to 11. I think Cowboy, if he grabs a hold of Conor and takes him to the ground, Conor's in a world of shit, too.
01:50:32.000
As far as the odds, I'm assuming Conor'd barely be a favorite.
01:50:47.000
And when you see him fight Eddie Alvarez, that's when you really realize it.
01:51:11.000
I think that also is a little misleading because I feel like a lot of that, again, was because Conor got into Eddie's head.
01:51:27.000
Well, it makes sense because you're going based off how Cowboy won his last fight.
01:51:34.000
I love Cowboy more than anyone in this room, but Cowboy's fallen some tough times.
01:51:37.000
He's got the most winning record in UFC history, too, I believe, so I'm also going by that.
01:51:55.000
And I do agree that if Cowboy gets a hold of anybody on the ground, he's got crazy ground skills.
01:52:04.000
If Conor were to take him down, he would be screwed.
01:52:26.000
That's true, because he throws a lot of kicks, and guys take him down, and he just snatches shit up really quick.
01:52:42.000
He's like, dude, I felt like I didn't want to be part of this.
01:52:45.000
I came there to train, and all of a sudden I got put in the middle of this drama.
01:52:54.000
Obviously, he had the hiccup of taking Cowboy down, but I thought Perry looked pretty fucking good, man.
01:53:01.000
He's been looking better and better, but he just fucked up and took him down.
01:53:07.000
Cowboy sparred with him who knows how many times over at Jackson's.
01:53:10.000
Yeah, and in the grappling, apparently, Cowboy dominated him.
01:53:13.000
But I guess Perry said in their training camp, he was taking so many guys down, it was almost like a natural reaction for him.
01:53:23.000
Didn't even think about it because that's what I was doing in camp.
01:53:25.000
And then Winkle John goes, that was not part of the plan.
01:53:33.000
But for him, he's getting so much better if he just stays consistent and gets with a legit camp.
01:53:42.000
We're A.K.A. Something about going to Montreal is sexy.
01:53:54.000
You've got to also just really super concentrate on what you're doing because it's all you're doing.
01:54:03.000
Montreal has some of the best strip clubs in the world.
01:54:15.000
There's many great wizards of MMA. But to really maximize your potential, you've got to be with someone who can put it all together.
01:54:24.000
And you can pick your favorite wizards, but one of my favorite wizards for sure is Farras.
01:54:33.000
Matt Hume does not have very many high-level guys.
01:54:44.000
But he was a great fighter himself, just great knowledge of the game.
01:54:48.000
But proof of what he did with Mighty Mouse and the way they talk to each other in the corner, and you realize there's a system they're operating under.
01:54:56.000
And they're like, this is very high level, very technical, very sophisticated.
01:55:07.000
So that doesn't Mike Perry's going to be able to plug in and work.
01:55:11.000
I think Mike Perry would do great somewhere like with a Jason Perillo in San Diego.
01:55:15.000
That could be fucking a dope connection for him.
01:55:21.000
Yeah, I feel like that'd be good for him down there.
01:55:24.000
But I think that having a fresh look is not the worst thing in the world.
01:55:40.000
He works in Barboza, Frank Yeager, Eddie Alvarez.
01:55:51.000
You actually sent me a text after you ate that pizza and you go, I ate the best, because we always talk about Jelena's pizza.
01:55:57.000
He goes, I ate the best pizza in the world, bro.
01:55:59.000
I was like, well, that's a random text, but I don't give a shit.
01:56:02.000
I hate being that guy, but bagels and pizza are different over there.
01:56:22.000
Man, I wake up at 6, and then I quit eating at 6 p.m.
01:56:26.000
at night, so 6 to 6, and then I don't eat until usually 10 or 11 in the afternoon.
01:56:32.000
But anyways, so I've been good on my diet, but I go to New York next week, an artichoke pizza, or King's Pizza, I think it's called King Street, I just can't turn it down.
01:56:53.000
But artichoke pizza in New York, my mouth's watering, bro.
01:56:56.000
There's some places that have good white pizza.
01:56:58.000
I didn't experience good white pizza until I had it at Nicky's in White Plains.
01:57:06.000
Right down the street from Executive Billiards.
01:57:08.000
They had white pizza that would knock your dick right in the dirt.
01:57:11.000
It had melted butter and garlic on it and ham and shit.
01:57:14.000
And you'd bite anything and you'd be like, holy fuck.
01:57:16.000
Yeah, that's where a lot of Italians were in White Plains.
01:57:36.000
I'm pretty sure White Castle, for all our vegan friends, they make a vegan burger now.
01:57:45.000
That's literally like buying a vitamin from a poison factory.
01:57:54.000
If you're a vegan and you're buying vegan burgers from a company that slaughters millions of animals a year.
01:58:26.000
The beef has silicon in it to make it fuller and more...
01:58:48.000
I don't give a fuck why they put in that bitch.
01:59:06.000
Isolated oat products, salt, chili pepper, onion powder, tomato powder.
01:59:21.000
Anti-caking agent to avoid clumping and supplements.
01:59:23.000
It's used to prevent the various powdered ingredients from sticking together as many food additives.
01:59:27.000
Consumers often have concerns about silicon dioxide as an additive.
01:59:37.000
Also frequently found in health food nutritional supplements as an additive silicon dioxide.
01:59:42.000
Primarily functions as an anti-caking agent which prevents ingredients from binding together.
01:59:48.000
Dude, if you eat it every now and then, you're moving carcinogen.
01:59:57.000
It says, Silicon dioxide is a proven carcinogen.
02:00:00.000
Why does McDonald's opt to use this in buns, potentially hurting human health?
02:00:04.000
Silicon is categorized as a trace mineral, Ben, which means that it's needed in minimal amounts to maintain health as it's That's its requirement.
02:00:13.000
It's recommended daily allowance for silicon has not been specified because it's not food.
02:00:19.000
However, experts suggest that a daily consumption in the range of 20-30 milligrams is needed to stay healthy.
02:00:41.000
But you know that food has a slimy thing on it?
02:00:45.000
If they can't really say all this, if it's not true, if they do, they get in deep shit.
02:00:50.000
So it might be real that silicon is a trace mineral.
02:00:56.000
But also, you're putting dirt in your burgers, bro.
02:01:00.000
But even so, it's like, why is it in there, though?
02:01:17.000
The other 64% is a wide range of fillers, extended preservatives.
02:01:21.000
36% beef, 64% is made with fillers, extenders, and preservatives.
02:01:38.000
When I eat that, I'm like, listen, man, this isn't going to be good.
02:01:40.000
I'm going to shit my pants, but I love their fucking tostadas.
02:01:43.000
Have you heard that conspiracy theory that McDonald's, you know, it says 100% beef, that that's an actual trademark name, 100% beef?
02:02:03.000
So they named their beef 100% Beef, even though it's 40%.
02:02:11.000
Is McDonald's the same as Taco Bell in terms of what percentage of it is actually beef if you buy a beef burger?
02:02:17.000
The one thing that's really weird about that...
02:02:19.000
The one thing that's fucked up about the beef that you get in hamburger from McDonald's is those cows can come from 10 different parts of the globe.
02:02:28.000
So you're eating the cows from China, Argentina, United States, and all those cows are killed there.
02:02:35.000
It's all been killed and then it's brought together.
02:02:41.000
My burger has come from, I have to know cow's name.
02:02:45.000
I'll tell you, I think the healthiest thing for you at McDonald's is the McFlirt.
02:02:59.000
You know they take meat and form it as a fucking rib?
02:03:15.000
McDonald's hamburger patties in the U.S. are made with 100% USDA inspected beef.
02:03:20.000
They are cooked and prepared with salt, pepper, and nothing else.
02:03:43.000
Wait, McDonald's buys their meat from a company called 100% beef.
02:03:55.000
Look, man, you could probably get beef pretty goddamn cheap if you do it that way and just grind it all down.
02:04:09.000
Bro, me and you have a legit McDonald's breakfast together.
02:04:23.000
If you get Egg McMuffin with ham, they really can't fuck with that.
02:04:27.000
If you get that sausage, who knows what's in that shit, son.
02:04:40.000
McDonald's said that the chickens and eggs they use now, they don't have, I think, they don't use antibiotics?
02:04:47.000
Containing eggs that are freshly cracked in McDonald's restaurants.
02:04:50.000
The rest of the chain's egg items, such as scrambled eggs and egg whites, are made from liquid eggs.
02:05:04.000
Well, the sausage patties, you don't know what you're getting with that.
02:05:12.000
They have scientists and they're working on taste, for real.
02:05:34.000
You're the first person I've ever talked about it.
02:05:42.000
I still think the best hamburgers are In-N-Out.
02:05:51.000
Dude, I'll tell you, Shake Shack is very fucking good.
02:06:09.000
They made their name off that goddamn sandwich.
02:06:11.000
And I'll tell you something else because they got pickles and stuff.
02:06:14.000
Now, Shake Shack, that jalapeno, smoked jalapeno bacon burger, get the fuck out of here right now.
02:06:20.000
I'll tell you what, for my cold hard-earned cash...
02:06:22.000
I just get a Whopper with cheese ketchup only from Burger King.
02:06:30.000
I have to be fucking super hungry in the middle of the desert, you know, on the way to Fresno for me to fuck with Burger King.
02:06:52.000
When I'm done with a show and there's nothing else open, I'll go to Burger King and go, you know what?
02:07:08.000
I worked at McDonald's for three weeks when I was a 17-year-old.
02:07:13.000
We dropped the burgers and put them back on the grill.
02:07:24.000
You know, a good Italian sub with, like, melted Parmesan cheese.
02:07:50.000
You go to an Italian deli in Boston or New York where they have the hams hanging from the ceiling.
02:07:58.000
Dude, you can get that at Bay Cities in Venice.
02:08:12.000
Like when you go to a real Italian restaurant or a real Italian sub shop and you get like sausage and peppers with tomato sauce.
02:08:20.000
You're like, okay, why don't they figure out how to sell this more places?
02:08:31.000
They're like, okay, all these little cheeseburger spots.
02:08:33.000
How come you can't have a sausage with peppers and onions?
02:08:41.000
And they'd have the water mozzarella they're making in the back.
02:08:55.000
And they always have these big sausage vendors.
02:09:15.000
You guys ever fuck with the kitchen sink cookie?
02:09:24.000
Dude, they got a cookie called the kitchen sink.
02:09:28.000
I only usually fuck with chocolate chip cookies.
02:09:36.000
But kitchen sink has fucking everything, and it's addicting as fuck.
02:09:43.000
There was a Panera Bread next to Chipotle, so I go to Chipotle and go, get the salad, no fucking, no burrito.
02:09:51.000
I eat clean at Chipotle, and then the Panera Bread's right next door, and I'm like, should I just walk to my car and just get in and drive the fuck away, or am I gonna go next door and fuck this all up and get a kitchen sink?
02:10:04.000
I go to Chipotle- And I'm eating like an Olympian at Chipotle.
02:10:08.000
And sometimes I get in my car and just fucking burn rubber and I'm out.
02:10:23.000
And I walked out and I was on the fence of whether I should get a kitchen sink and I said, fuck it, I'm going to get it.
02:10:28.000
And I walked next door and the place closed down.
02:10:41.000
He goes to some special place in Hawaii just for them.
02:10:45.000
It's like a cookie inside a cookie inside a cookie.
02:11:09.000
I think Samoa is closer to the Philippines or something, right?
02:11:14.000
Is it closer to Hawaii or closer to the Philippines?
02:11:53.000
And he wanted to stop at a head shop and get a bong.
02:12:01.000
We decided to hit the bong before we went to the burrito place.
02:12:28.000
So we walk into the burrito shop and we used to joke that Like, nobody was ever there.
02:12:35.000
So it was like, how the fuck are they making money?
02:12:49.000
And as soon as I walked off, like 20 yards, I saw a bush.
02:12:58.000
But then I collapsed halfway through on my hands and knees, just puking all over the sidewalk.
02:13:41.000
He's crawling behind the corner to where these bushes were.
02:13:52.000
This isn't the same Mexican place you were just talking about?
02:13:54.000
The other place, they don't even speak English.
02:14:03.000
I'm driving from Calabasas just down to the PCH, and it's just a windy, you know, through Topanga Canyon, kind of windy.
02:14:08.000
Well, I had Jimmy Burke in the car who doesn't drive in cars.
02:14:11.000
He lives in New York City, so he is used to walking or riding his bike.
02:14:18.000
So, as we're going down, I'm just taking it for granted.
02:14:24.000
We get to the bottom, and he goes, Baba, you've got to pull over right now.
02:14:32.000
He was on his hands and knees, and we waited there for 45 minutes because he couldn't get back in the car.
02:14:40.000
Brian Callen, you ever think you drive like an asshole?
02:14:47.000
I get super sick if I'm on my phone in the car.
02:14:55.000
Don't ever try to read a book while you're in the car, man.
02:15:02.000
You have to concentrate on the horizon, and it'll slowly dissipate, but just focus on the horizon.
02:15:13.000
While you're driving or while someone else is driving?
02:15:15.000
Well, the Tesla drives itself while Ryan gets sucked in the back.
02:15:24.000
The idea that you would be driving one of those cars and it runs out of batteries is what scares me the most.
02:15:33.000
But I was on zero and I just made it into my driveway.
02:15:36.000
I remember we were somewhere and you had to stop and charge it.
02:15:48.000
But I, that happened to me twice, very recently, where I pulled into my, to Sony, and they plugged it in.
02:16:01.000
Four hours, you know, will get you, you need six hours to get 100%.
02:16:09.000
If you're on the charger, if you're on the Tesla charger, you got an hour, you're in.
02:16:30.000
Sarah Silverman's the voice of this little girl.
02:16:54.000
Dude, Trevor Noah's special on Netflix is funny as fuck.
02:17:20.000
Like, I know that that one Porsche wasn't enough.
02:17:33.000
And I know you want to have a car that has a backseat where you can take your kids.
02:17:40.000
I drove Arnold Schwarzenegger's 911 Porsche Turbo.
02:17:44.000
Because he put it up for sale and my friend was selling it and he said, I got a surprise for you.
02:17:53.000
It's a great car, but the problem is it's, you know, just a lot of, I think it was a stick.
02:17:58.000
You know, in traffic and shit, I'm just too lazy.
02:18:03.000
This had a special interior, like it was a beautiful car.
02:18:07.000
Yeah, what I'm saying is if you drove one, if you drove like a 911, an automatic one, you would love it.
02:18:17.000
I think my lease is up, so the question is do I get a Panamera?
02:18:39.000
I like the fact that it parks itself, and I like the fact that it drives itself in shitty traffic.
02:18:45.000
I hit this thing, and I just stand, and it just drives in bumper to bumper, and I never have to touch the wheel or the pedals.
02:18:57.000
Have your hand on the wheel a little bit lightly and just you can read a book.
02:19:10.000
Our kids aren't going to get driver's licenses.
02:19:22.000
Which is a little dangerous because those Uber drivers are weird as fuck.
02:19:26.000
But we're going to have driverless Ubers and then we're just going to get in.
02:20:01.000
That so sounds like what people probably said when the printing press came out.
02:20:11.000
No, no, I'm not talking about pride or anything like that.
02:20:13.000
I'm talking about you're going to be driving on the freeway 65 miles an hour.
02:20:37.000
A woman I work with, her mother was killed by a distracted driver texting.
02:20:43.000
They say it's going to take over drunk driving and everything.
02:20:45.000
Texting and driving has been the number one problem.
02:20:47.000
Every time I see someone driving fucked up, I always pull up next to them and they're always on their phone.
02:20:57.000
They should make it so that your phone doesn't work while you're driving.
02:21:04.000
There's an option that locks you out of everything.
02:21:12.000
But I mean, one of these days it might be mandatory, right?
02:21:16.000
You cannot be on your phone while you're driving.
02:21:22.000
If you have a good hands-free system, you can do a lot of shit.
02:21:27.000
Like, I can press the little button on my steering wheel and say, call Eddie Bravo, and it'll call you.
02:21:37.000
It'll re-text to you if you have Apple CarPlay.
02:21:39.000
But then the problem is if you start getting pictures.
02:21:45.000
Message from Eddie says, Brian Kelly, dick pic.
02:21:59.000
Whatever this is, this is going to be nothing compared to whatever they settle on 10 years from now.
02:22:17.000
Like 2001 or 2002. No, but it didn't get on something.
02:22:22.000
I went from 99 to 2005. There was a long gap where I didn't film anything.
02:22:37.000
You weren't grinding with comedy, so you didn't want to put on a special.
02:22:46.000
Remember on Chips, like 1978, 1980, they had jetpacks back then, and we still haven't mastered it.
02:23:03.000
I saw a guy in the NFL invest half of his salary into flying cars.
02:23:17.000
Imagine putting all your money like, I'm going to get ahead of the curve.
02:23:22.000
Just banking on something like that, getting off the ground, getting approved, getting licensed, not dropping out of the sky and killing infrastructure.
02:23:30.000
In 1980, we didn't think, you know, in 2018, we'd still have cars with rubber tires, like engines, and basically the same thing.
02:23:39.000
Some countries are making gas cars illegal by 2020. Well, the craziest thing is...
02:23:46.000
Yeah, they're not going to release the sale of gas cars.
02:23:55.000
China, in one year, decided that their air was terrible.
02:23:59.000
And in one year, they basically said that you're going to use natural gas instead of coal and stuff like that in your home.
02:24:08.000
But China has the advantage of just going, hey, all you billion-plus people, no more!
02:24:14.000
They literally just changed the infrastructure.
02:24:16.000
So they'll be the first ones to have nothing but electric cars.
02:24:25.000
Well, they do, but people were using things like coal and gas or fuel to cook their food, to heat their homes, and basically the president said, nah, natural gas, clean burning gas,
02:24:42.000
The air is a lot better, because the air was pretty bad, but they said the air was the worst in Beijing.
02:24:48.000
One thing you see in Beijing is nothing but unfinished buildings.
02:24:52.000
They'll build 20 of the same exact-looking building in one area, and it's so ugly, these giant buildings.
02:25:08.000
They have huge cities where nobody lives in them because they were essentially saying, let's just build as many cities as we can, but they didn't have the population to move them in or the economy to support that city.
02:25:23.000
Is that also, do you think, a product of communism versus capitalism?
02:25:27.000
Because capitalism, they would have had to have some sort of financial plan.
02:25:37.000
If everybody's working, just build a bunch of buildings.
02:25:41.000
Nobody has to live in them, but just as long as we got people going in...
02:25:46.000
They're building new skyscrapers all the goddamn time, 24-7.
02:25:51.000
Yeah, but they're selling the shit out of them.
02:25:55.000
You have developers that take huge risk, and they say, I'm going to build this in the hopes that I can fill that retail space, office space.
02:26:05.000
You know, China's an economy of influence, too.
02:26:07.000
A lot of times you're not doing business unless you've got, you know, connections with the people that okay your permits, etc.
02:26:15.000
We're so lucky we don't live in a dictatorship like that.
02:26:19.000
Like, if you're stuck under the boot of something like North Korea, you're stuck under the boot.
02:26:31.000
Especially because I lived in those countries as a kid.
02:26:33.000
We take a lot of our freedoms for granted, but at the same time, they're always under threat.
02:26:40.000
I think from companies like the fact that so much information is concentrated in so few companies, like Facebook.
02:26:56.000
But they almost should be completely neutral and just allow or not allow things based on whether or not it violates their rules.
02:27:07.000
No, and also the way campaign finance works, like the way you have to have money.
02:27:13.000
It's changing a little, but if you don't have money, as a politician, you better say what the people that are financing your campaign.
02:27:24.000
If you don't do that, you're not in Congress the next time you're around.
02:27:27.000
You have to listen to the people that put you there.
02:27:38.000
If you're going to have rules in terms of what you can and can't say, they have to apply to everyone, regardless of race, regardless of gender, ethnicity, and they don't.
02:27:49.000
One of the things that Brett Weinstein tweeted the other day that I retweeted was some woman who wrote...
02:28:05.000
And you don't think it's racist because it's racist against white people, but it's racist.
02:28:09.000
It's so stupid that you allow that, but you don't allow racism against other racists.
02:28:13.000
Well, what's funny is that they're thinking the same way.
02:28:16.000
Their methodology is the same as the people they're criticizing.
02:28:21.000
It's not what you think, it's how you think that makes more of a difference, right?
02:28:26.000
I know that you have a different kind of racism, but it's still racist.
02:28:39.000
It's been sitting here for three hours, this coffee.
02:28:41.000
But the way you get elected and stay elected is you tow the...
02:28:46.000
Like, if you want to have sort of anti-Wall Street legislation, certain things.
02:28:57.000
And it doesn't affect a lot of us, but it affects a corporation's, a bank's bottom line.
02:29:03.000
And that becomes, you better vote favorably or you're gonna have a problem.
02:29:07.000
I think more and more Americans are realizing that money and politics is a big problem.
02:29:17.000
The question is, does your government represent you?
02:29:21.000
So gerrymandering and how campaigns are financed.
02:29:25.000
Drives me nuts how quiet Eddie is during all this government talk.
02:29:28.000
Remember Eddie Murphy when he became a politician?
02:29:37.000
Yeah, he wanted to be a politician because he found out that damn, that's where you make the money.
02:29:41.000
So he enters politics just like, You know, just taking bribes and all that shit.
02:29:49.000
But a congressman spends, a U.S. congressman spends between 30 and 70 percent of his time or her time on the phone to people they don't know trying to raise money.
02:29:58.000
And you're not allowed to do that on government property.
02:30:04.000
You can go across the street in the Capitol, they're in their car, and they're making phone calls.
02:30:08.000
And you make a phone call, and you spend 30-70% of your time doing that to raise money.
02:30:17.000
Whenever I hear people talk too much about politics, even myself included, my own words, I'm like, you're talking about a rigged game.
02:30:27.000
It's like you're talking about something that's...
02:30:31.000
But you know, of course the government is corrupt as fuck.
02:30:37.000
But when you're talking about stuff like that, like are the elections rigged?
02:30:44.000
The one thing that I learned from these midterms is that if your vote didn't count and it's all decided like pro-wrestling, then there wouldn't be all this voter fraud and all these computers that can, you know.
02:31:01.000
I'm talking about the way, once you're in office, the way things get handled.
02:31:06.000
But what I'm saying is, from the elections, you see that your votes do matter.
02:31:12.000
There's a lot of corruption and fraud going on.
02:31:15.000
But if it was all rigged like WWE, they wouldn't need to do all that.
02:31:25.000
Because a lot of people think it's not a real system.
02:31:28.000
They already decide and they're just going to put them in.
02:31:29.000
No, the way they actually decide is they decide who they're going to rig the machines for.
02:31:37.000
You just got to make sure that there's no shenanigans going on.
02:31:40.000
People most certainly do count, but where it gets really squirrely, and this is where politics get goofy, is in why do politicians do what they do?
02:31:49.000
Do they do what they do to support the people, or do they do what they do because special interest groups have influenced them?
02:31:56.000
Well, not only that, here's what's really wild.
02:31:57.000
So Capitol Hill, when you're in Congress, they call that the farm team.
02:32:01.000
Because in Capitol Hill, you spend six years, seven years, let's just say you're a senator.
02:32:06.000
Now, when you're a senator for, I don't know, 10 years, when you're on Capitol Hill as a congressman for six, for 10 years, you develop real connections and relationships with government officials who make decisions.
02:32:24.000
So let's say you lose an election, or let's say you decide, I made my $160,000 a year, can't really live on that money.
02:32:36.000
And because you've been there for six or nine or ten years, you know a lot of people.
02:32:41.000
And that lobbying firm goes, hey, we'll pay you a million dollars now.
02:32:45.000
And all you got to do is drive to Capitol Hill every day, get in there and influence, use your connections so that we can get what we want from government.
02:32:56.000
So corporations hiring lobbying firms to lobby for their bottom line.
02:33:04.000
And the problem is when you're in Congress, you know that.
02:33:07.000
You know you have a job waiting if you can make great connections.
02:33:10.000
And now, Washington becomes an economy of influence.
02:33:16.000
You gotta have Lawrence Lessig on your goddamn podcast.
02:33:21.000
Yeah, you keep telling me about the podcast you did with him.
02:33:31.000
He wrote a book called Republic Lost, and he's got a couple TED Talks.
02:33:35.000
Yes, and basically he said, your government doesn't represent you, and here's why.
02:33:43.000
It's simple the way he breaks it down, because he's a constitutional scholar out of Harvard, but you're like...
02:33:51.000
He said, Washington's a place where even if you're a good person, You must behave in a corrupt manner if you want to survive.
02:34:01.000
The bright side of all that is the fact that there is people getting suicided and bribery going on.
02:34:11.000
That means that there's hope that there's good people inside the government that you've got to watch.
02:34:18.000
We've got to hire someone to kill you because we don't want to go to jail.
02:34:23.000
They can just get What I'm saying is, the fact that there is all that bribery and suiciding, that means that there's good people in there that are going after the bad people.
02:34:41.000
I used to think, fuck, when the Bushes were in office, Clinton, Obama, I was like, I didn't pay attention to shit.
02:34:52.000
And it's all, you know, there's nothing you can do about it.
02:34:54.000
But, you know, over the last couple years, you know, since Trump got into office, now I'm like paying attention.
02:35:00.000
Like, there are some good people trying to do some good shit.
02:35:12.000
There are some great people going after the bad people.
02:35:14.000
That's why there needs to be bribes and suiciding and blackmail.
02:35:18.000
The reason there's blackmail is because there's good people in there.
02:35:20.000
If everybody was bad, why would you blackmail anybody?
02:35:23.000
Well, the problem is it's really subtle the way they can get you out, though, because when you're donors...
02:35:50.000
I give your, through a super pack or whatever it might be, I give your campaign a lot of money.
02:35:57.000
Now, you're a regular dude, you're not corrupt, but human beings, when somebody gives them a real hand when they needed it, you can't help but to feel a little indebted.
02:36:09.000
What if you had a voucher system with all of us, we're given a certain amount of money every election cycle, and we were allowed anonymously to give that money to whoever we thought was a viable candidate?
02:36:28.000
But if you know you got a lot of stuff from GE, or you know you got a lot of stuff from Lockheed, and there's a bill that comes up for Saudi Arabia to buy a bunch of tanks or whatever, or weaponry, It's going to be very hard for you to vote against that.
02:36:41.000
And if you do, those people that got you in power last time aren't going to get you in power.
02:36:45.000
They basically figured out a way to make bribing legal.
02:36:47.000
They just give you stuff to hook you up and take care of you and add money to your campaign, but then don't exactly tell you what to do.
02:37:06.000
Because when you say campaign finance reform, it's so boring, right?
02:37:10.000
I've read a book, two books on it, and I'm like, I get bored.
02:37:17.000
They've got to figure out some way to stop these giant corporations from influencing politicians.
02:37:32.000
The idea is that they want so much, anything that threatens that money, the real true marketplace, they want to put the fucking brakes to that.
02:37:41.000
But you're supposed to cancel each other out, though.
02:37:44.000
So ideally, there's nothing wrong with petitioning your government.
02:37:50.000
Right, but the problem is not that you're donating money to your campaign.
02:38:00.000
The problem with lobbying, so Citizens United… But what countries would they be illegal in?
02:38:07.000
I think lobbying, because that's what… But lobbying, the problem with making lobbying illegal is it's part of free speech.
02:38:16.000
So Citizens United… So in other words, if I want to give money to you, you're a politician, and I want Eddie Bravo to be president, right?
02:38:24.000
I should be able to exercise my right as a citizen and support you.
02:38:32.000
So to tell me I can't give money to the person I like is a restriction of free speech.
02:38:36.000
And I think that was the Citizens United Supreme Court decision.
02:38:41.000
The other problem is when subjects like this get brought up, and this is one of the most important subjects that we could ever discuss, like how our world gets run.
02:38:52.000
I've been staring at the wall for the last 30 minutes.
02:39:01.000
You want to be like these North Sentinel people.
02:39:02.000
I feel like there's nothing we can do about it.
02:39:04.000
I'm like, dude, I've never been so into politics ever.
02:39:10.000
It's like Game of Thrones, but it's for real and it affects your life.
02:39:15.000
There's real Game of Thrones going on right now, and it's so entertaining to find out what the fuck, instead of watching a goddamn TV show that does nothing for your life.
02:39:24.000
It's like Game of Thrones really going on right now if you pay attention.
02:39:28.000
Yeah, but the problem is, I watched TV shows so that I could just have fun.
02:39:41.000
But if you really start paying attention too much to politics, and I have a bunch of friends that are really into politics.
02:39:52.000
So as far as not standing out of politics or whatever, what if, this is where it comes down to, we all have kids here.
02:39:58.000
So now there is a legislative agenda Whatever it might be.
02:40:03.000
And it's an agenda that says we want to teach your kids something like, let's just say because the social scientists and academia wins their way, gets into the air of politicians, which happens all the time, and politicians say all schools, public schools at least, where my kids go,
02:40:19.000
are going to teach that there's zero biological difference or zero difference between men and women.
02:40:26.000
Evolution is a theory and we're going to put it on the same standings as creationist theory too.
02:40:31.000
I.E. School Board in Kansas, I think at one point, had that going on.
02:40:41.000
I'm just saying what happens if you stay out of this debate and the wrong people push their ideas forward, which usually have a political agenda, you might be faced with a situation where somebody's trying to educate your kid in things that you just...
02:40:58.000
Not only disagree with, but are factually incorrect.
02:41:05.000
Like, there was this thing from Nature the other day that I retweeted.
02:41:14.000
Brought it up and he was like, this is really disturbing that these people are making this distinction.
02:41:20.000
And he was talking about the difference between biological sex and real...
02:41:25.000
I don't want to misquote it, so I'll find out the exact thing.
02:41:29.000
But they're essentially promoting social justice principles over scientific principles and it's supposed to be a company that specializes in science.
02:41:41.000
So instead of just being scientific, they're scientific with a very clear, progressive political twist to it.
02:41:48.000
And you're like, well, just because something's inconvenient doesn't mean it's incorrect.
02:41:53.000
Just because something's uncomfortable doesn't mean it's not true.
02:41:57.000
And there's things that you might have your own personal beliefs and values and ethics, but that's not what we're counting on when you're a science journal.
02:42:08.000
Did you see the, I think I sent you a YouTube thing?
02:42:11.000
To say this proposal has no foundation in science is nonsense.
02:42:16.000
Pull up the Nature one first so I can read that.
02:42:19.000
The U.S. editorial, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, proposes to establish a legal definition of whether someone is male or female based on the genitals they are born with.
02:42:29.000
This proposal has no foundation in science and should be abandoned.
02:42:35.000
So the problem with that is what Brett Weinstein very...
02:42:42.000
To say, in quotes, this proposal has no foundation in science, which is what they said, he says, is nonsense.
02:42:48.000
The genitals one is born with show overwhelming correlation with one's self-assessed gender as predicted by evolutionary theory.
02:42:57.000
If we grant nature's claim, we condemn the study of complex phenomena to a dark age.
02:43:05.000
And nature should know better, but they have a political Where'd that come from?
02:43:09.000
They were influenced by strong forces, probably on the radical left in this instance.
02:43:17.000
That's where the wind is going, and if you support that, you get way more love than you get hate.
02:43:22.000
You lick your finger, you find out where the wind's going.
02:43:25.000
To say that there's no correlation is fucking bananas.
02:43:32.000
Well, there's a lot of nonsense going on right now that I think will eventually be sorted out once the dust settles.
02:43:37.000
But I think this is just a wave of information.
02:43:42.000
And because people are more concerned with their side winning than they are with actual facts, a lot of really stupid ideas get supported instead of objectively analyzed for whether or not they contain truth.
02:43:53.000
So my buddy's son is 15, and it's all about gender and educating you on gender.
02:44:03.000
So when you're in college, my nephew who was in college, 18 years old, they said, say your name and please tell us what pronoun you would like to be referred to.
02:44:18.000
So now the kids, though, as they're being taught this by their fucking teachers, because their kids, they're like, the fuck out of here.
02:44:31.000
Do you have any idea how hurtful it is to that butterfly?
02:44:34.000
You have no idea what that butterfly's gender is.
02:44:45.000
No, there's some really influenced people, easily influenced people that are adopting all this stuff.
02:44:50.000
Way more so than it was when we were growing up.
02:44:52.000
Especially in L.A. Indoctrination is the right word, too.
02:45:04.000
We flew to Cleveland, watched a Cleveland Browns, and all he wanted was a Baker Mayfield jersey.
02:45:18.000
It's hard, though, to keep a theory going that doesn't really have any basis in science.
02:45:28.000
I think they're political, and I don't think they're very smart.
02:45:43.000
They said there's like 60 of them or something, right?
02:45:45.000
78 different gender pronouns, but that's because no one has agreed on what the gender pronoun should be.
02:45:50.000
So if you decide that yours is Z-I-R, and I said, no, mine is Z-Y-R-E. Sorry.
02:46:05.000
You gotta go to school to find out if you're a guy?
02:46:10.000
I know you think you're a guy, but you're gonna find out for sure in six months.
02:46:16.000
You know what Sam Harris said that I fucking loved?
02:46:17.000
He said, right now, the one thing to keep in mind is that Being offended is not an argument and it's not a virtue.
02:46:26.000
So you can't just shut the conversation down because you're offended and you're taking issue with what I say.
02:46:33.000
That ain't an argument and it sure as fuck ain't a virtue.
02:46:40.000
She was speaking at a college and there was a law student.
02:46:44.000
He was just giving her the finger the whole time.
02:46:46.000
And all she was trying to do is talk about something that was based in science.
02:46:53.000
No, she's a professor, a journalist, a professor of journalism, I think.
02:46:57.000
And she's a very reasonable kind of like clear...
02:47:01.000
People are struggling so hard to find things to be offended at that they're pointing at targets that aren't viable and they're throwing all their weight into it and when it doesn't work, they back out and they try someone new.
02:47:13.000
You know, Christina Hoff Summers, you ever see the things that she did where she was trying to speak and they were shouting her down and making all this noise in the crowd.
02:47:23.000
They're trying to silence people because it's something that you can do.
02:47:41.000
What are your feelings on the caravan situation?
02:47:44.000
Why is it any different from all the people that are getting in here every day?
02:47:48.000
It's a fake thing we're supposed to be paying attention to.
02:47:52.000
They're making a big publicity event out of these people that want to come to America.
02:48:01.000
So MS-13 and this other gang are the biggest employers there.
02:48:04.000
If you don't join them, you get your family killed.
02:48:09.000
They're essentially refugees from a place that's intolerable to live.
02:48:13.000
But they're making it this really big political deal.
02:48:20.000
Sometimes they get in the vans and people drive in places.
02:48:25.000
I'm not saying that we shouldn't let them in or we shouldn't let them in.
02:48:29.000
Well, yeah, definitely people don't want them in.
02:48:32.000
But what's interesting to me is if you come from Cuba, you could just come.
02:48:37.000
If you get on a boat, if you get over here in America, we're like, you made it, bro!
02:48:41.000
But if you try from Guatemala, we're like, nah, sorry, son.
02:48:55.000
We made an agreement that anybody who's trying to escape the kind of shitty situation they have in Cuba will allow that.
02:49:05.000
Yeah, I mean, if you're Yoel Romero and you come over from Cuba, that's true.
02:49:12.000
And people think that all Mexicans are for the caravan and we want them in.
02:49:32.000
It's like I always do this joke where I believe in borders, but I'd be a shitty border control agent, right?
02:49:36.000
Like I do think borders are reasonable, but nobody gets over and then I'd be like, oh, the kids.
02:49:51.000
It's like the idea that there's a real country.
02:49:54.000
That there's a place where you can go and a place where you can't go.
02:49:56.000
And you have to have papers and they may cross this law in the dirt.
02:50:04.000
I mean, if you think about the United States, the United States essentially is not just a country.
02:50:12.000
And each different area has its own culture, almost their own language.
02:50:17.000
The way they talk in Florida is way fucking different than the way they talk in Maine.
02:50:21.000
It's all the same language, but it's almost like they're separate little countries.
02:50:34.000
You're fine, as long as you're on this one patch of dirt.
02:50:37.000
But the reason why we don't allow all the other patches of dirt to do the same thing and everybody just flow freely is because there's some spots that just don't have it good at all.
02:50:54.000
But you know what the connective tissue is for Americans, even though that's true?
02:50:58.000
The connective tissue that I think a lot of countries don't have is that the one thing we have going for, even if it's a myth for a lot of people, the one thing all Americans have going for them is the idea that...
02:51:12.000
There's a chance, if I do the right thing, I may be poor now, but I could be a fucking millionaire.
02:51:20.000
That shit is so, but that's what keeps the sort of people who have nothing from creating a revolution.
02:51:26.000
But if we lose that, if people start thinking that's not for them.
02:51:31.000
You can't let everybody in, but you can let everybody in from Kentucky.
02:51:34.000
If everybody from Kentucky decided to move to L.A., we would just have to deal with it.
02:51:41.000
The reason why we can't have world citizenship is because some places suck too hard.
02:51:54.000
Honestly, I think the whole world, the human beings as a race, would be way better off if everybody could move where it's good.
02:52:01.000
And then we would figure out why there's too many people where it's good, and then it'll settle down, and you move to a better spot, and it'll eventually even out.
02:52:10.000
The reason why people in segregated areas don't advance, like these people in Sentinel Island.
02:52:30.000
If we were living on that island, we would be having leaves over our dick too.
02:52:33.000
It's not like, oh, I'm just going to invent a satellite.
02:52:38.000
So we would be with them just with a greater understanding of what's possible with smarter people around.
02:52:43.000
But what you just said is happening in the European Union.
02:52:45.000
I mean, that's why a lot of Polish people come over to the UK and they come back.
02:52:49.000
And there's also what they're doing now with immigration is freaking a lot of people out because they're allowing so many people of different cultures to come in and then their cities become more multicultural than they are English.
02:53:03.000
But the other problem is that when you have one currency, currencies used to be based on the productivity of their citizenry, right?
02:53:09.000
So when you have currency, everybody has the same currency, which means it's all valued at the same thing.
02:53:14.000
The problem is that people in Spain are not as productive as people in Germany, for example.
02:53:20.000
So the German goods and services should be worth more.
02:53:24.000
Or the dollar there, the euro there should be worth more than it is, say, in Spain.
02:53:28.000
Isn't it better when the state has more power than the Fed?
02:53:37.000
Like California is a country, Nevada is a country.
02:53:39.000
But isn't that better for the people when the state has...
02:53:42.000
So then that would mean, you know, at the same rate, you know, it's better to have a country like the United States than to be...
02:53:49.000
The thing is, with states, you can go to any state.
02:54:00.000
They took like 10 Syrians, I think, or something.
02:54:13.000
No, Canada's actually a beast to live in because the celebrity's like, oh, I'm so sick of America's ways.
02:54:21.000
A DUI. If you have a DUI, they won't let you in.
02:54:33.000
Are you doing stand-up comedy in New York City?
02:54:42.000
Yes, and then shoot my one-hour showtime special.
02:54:48.000
Tinfoil hat comedy, Chicago, December 15th at Zany's.
02:54:57.000
Oh, he doesn't have like a tinfoilhopcomedy.com or something like that?
02:55:17.000
I'm talking Irvine's been like this for like four years.
02:55:36.000
You were in the crowd at one show, I think, weren't you?
02:55:39.000
Oh, yeah, I was in the back, then went to the crowd.
02:55:46.000
We love you guys, and girls, and everybody else.
02:55:48.000
You guys don't want to go see Tito Chuck Liddell?
