00:03:30.600 the cuff i want to bring him on our guest today is an olympic wrestler and mma mainstay including

00:03:34.460 ufc and the bellator and one world welterweight champion he's been top 10 in the world in four

00:03:39.160 different sports and on april 17th he's fighting my brother jake paul ladies and gentlemen it's

00:03:44.180 Ben Askren.

00:03:49.420 We usually chant the name, but you're fighting our friend.

00:03:52.640 We're not doing that.

00:03:53.520 We're just stick with the clap.

00:03:54.100 We're just stick with the clap for this one.

00:03:55.520 This is crazy.

00:03:56.320 That feels good.

00:03:57.140 Clap's good.

00:03:57.940 Here you are in Encino.

00:03:59.180 Absolutely.

00:03:59.660 In LA, right?

00:04:00.280 You're here for a week?

00:04:01.700 I'm here for a week.

00:04:02.460 Training with Freddie Roach.

00:04:03.240 It's been going really well.

00:04:04.180 Having a lot of fun with him.

00:04:04.940 For sure.

00:04:05.280 We're going to get into it.

00:04:06.140 We're going to dive in.

00:04:07.180 But, you know, Ben, this one hits close to home.

00:04:09.520 Like, obviously, you're fighting my blood on April 17th.

00:04:14.180 I mean, that should be normal for you.

00:04:15.380 You've fought him probably plenty of times.

00:04:16.800 We had one actual physical fist altercation,

00:04:20.380 but it's interesting because, you know,

00:04:22.900 I want to be a good podcast host.

00:04:24.440 I want to be respectful of our guests.

00:04:26.100 But in a way, you're also fighting me because I'm the brother.

00:04:29.660 Well, he's my blood. 0.92

00:04:30.600 I have to love and support him no matter how ridiculous he could be sometimes. 0.96

00:04:35.040 That's my family. 0.96

00:04:35.760 You only got one of those.

00:04:37.280 And so I have to ride with Jake, obviously.

00:04:39.500 So, I mean, obviously this one hits close to home.

00:04:41.580 besides this podcast, this is

00:04:43.700 probably the closest you'll

00:04:45.980 get to fighting Jake.

00:04:48.120 Really? Mine is on April 17th.

00:04:49.600 Yeah, of course. I'm actually thinking I'm doing

00:04:51.640 something with him next week.

00:04:53.420 Not like, you know, we're going to be in the same place

00:04:55.760 at the same time. Okay, and what do you think

00:04:57.840 you're going to be doing? I was going to ask.

00:04:59.040 I'm going to talk to him a little bit. No, I don't know about

00:05:01.680 TikTok. I don't get that. I don't understand it. I'm too old

00:05:03.780 for that shit. Right, right, right. 1.00

00:05:05.880 I'm 36. Same with him.

00:05:08.300 Last three guests were 36.

00:05:09.680 He's kind of old. You know, I have the same thing.

00:05:11.580 No, because I have a younger brother and, you know, I would say I'm friendly with a lot of people.

00:05:16.060 He wrestled, right?

00:05:16.640 He competed also national champ and, you know, wrestling is not huge.

00:05:20.360 So by the time he was done with his career, I was friendly with a lot of people he competed against, too.

00:05:24.400 So, you know, I get it.

00:05:25.440 It's like, but you can't hate everyone that they compete with.

00:05:28.060 No, and I don't.

00:05:29.080 I will say I think wrestling is different than fighting.

00:05:31.560 Like he obviously takes fighting very seriously.

00:05:33.880 I do.

00:05:34.800 And more so than just the fight, I think, and you've realized this by now, Jake is like he's a marketer.

00:05:41.460 he's here to sell the fight he's here to make headlines he's here to clown you dog you in any

00:05:46.260 possible way you can he called your wife thick yeah i thought it was hilarious i mean i didn't

00:05:51.760 really understand maybe it's generous thing or maybe it's just because i have a lot of security

00:05:55.280 in my relationship but i didn't really see how that could be offensive like does she i find her 0.53

00:05:58.980 i find her attractive as well does she uh want no piece of of this fight game because you know

00:06:05.360 jake jake's the dude like you got you got kids i got three kids we got eight six eight five and

00:06:10.700 three okay and they haven't made their way into the the fight talk yet um no and they you know

00:06:15.920 alex and andy wrestle they're both girls ozzy he's just a little smashing machine he's only

00:06:19.460 three years old uh no they don't really get it yet you know i've fought my i've fought since

00:06:23.400 they've been alive they don't really understand it they don't get you know we just don't like

00:06:27.000 talk about it a lot that's weird yeah you know i mean just like it's kind of a weird concept that

00:06:32.020 like hey what i did for a living was like i got in a cage and i fought people with my bare hands

00:06:35.800 like alex the oldest we would always tell her i fought tigers and she thought that was the

00:06:39.860 coolest thing and she was entertained by it but we never said like hey daddy goes and he tries to

00:06:43.780 like hurt other people that's his job they haven't seen your fights uh no i don't think so god yeah

00:06:50.180 they know i wrestle right they know i coach and i'm always there but they don't yeah we've never

00:06:55.360 taken them to any fights or they i to my knowledge i've never seen them who knows you know alex is 0.91

00:06:59.540 eight now so maybe her friends like showed her on an ipod or something damn what is your what is 1.00

00:07:05.440 your strategy i just want to get into this fight stuff just clear the fucking ice off for hot sex 1.00

00:07:10.660 shake shake it up a little bit as a as a ground guy you've historically been looked at as one of 0.98

00:07:17.620 the better wrestlers correct in the in the in the sport what is your plan to try to match someone

00:07:23.640 who has been training in the boxing world for the past three plus years and and obviously has put

00:07:28.120 together quite a quite a uh capability when it comes comes to the at least the technical approach

00:07:34.060 aspects of the sport yeah so i always think with with something like this and like wrestling mma

00:07:38.920 whatever it is right there's the skill of whatever you're doing there's also the skill of being

00:07:43.500 competitor and you know he's only fought two times against guys who weren't really all that high

00:07:48.340 level and so his skill as a combat athlete probably is not that high yet and it's going to

00:07:53.120 take a while to get there and you see this even with even with guys in the ufc you know they have

00:07:57.980 10 15 fights and they still make stupid mistakes because they get in a pressure situation there's 0.96

00:08:03.000 adversity and they don't know how to handle it yet and then you see them years later right and 0.99

00:08:07.360 they handle that adversity a lot differently they're more mature and they've been through it

00:08:11.000 and so like i've been through that for the last i mean i've been competing at a high level of

00:08:14.480 wrestling since i've we'll say 17 18 years old i've been competing at you know really high

00:08:18.380 national level so i've been through tons of adversity and so it's like you know hey i i may

00:08:22.860 not have the boxing skill but that doesn't mean i can't get in there and fight somebody right i've

00:08:26.680 been fighting people for 20 years it doesn't mean that but it might mean that you might not win

00:08:31.220 there's a chance so here's how here's how i think about it if he's actually a really good boxer 0.77

00:08:36.660 right like i went and i was sparring with someone good and um what was that damn he's uh he challenged

00:08:42.780 for world title at freddy's and it's like i have no illusion that i'm as good as you at boxing i 0.82

00:08:47.400 am not going to beat you in a boxing match if jake's really really good i'm probably not going

00:08:51.300 to beat him right but i think he's probably not really that good that's what i think for real

00:08:56.160 that's the nicest way

00:08:58.480 to go to buy

00:08:58.960 it was

00:08:59.280 it's interesting

00:09:00.380 he wanted to

00:09:01.780 he was almost like

00:09:03.200 you took all the wind

00:09:04.200 out of my side

00:09:04.980 no I was laughing

00:09:07.180 because I was like

00:09:07.720 Ben sell the fight

00:09:08.660 bro

00:09:08.860 he's like

00:09:09.160 I'm probably gonna lose

00:09:10.940 he got me at least

00:09:11.820 but he did

00:09:12.440 no I don't think

00:09:13.720 he's

00:09:13.900 listen

00:09:14.140 there's a chance

00:09:15.580 there's a chance

00:09:16.200 he's really good

00:09:16.840 if he's really really good

00:09:17.840 he's gonna beat me

00:09:18.480 I don't think he's really good

00:09:20.160 that's what it comes down to

00:09:21.260 why not

00:09:21.500 I got it

00:09:21.840 tell Shin a little bit more

00:09:23.220 he beat up

00:09:23.960 you know what

00:09:26.880 I'm taking your water back

00:09:28.360 he beat up a YouTuber

00:09:30.900 and a basketball player who likely

00:09:32.860 has never been in any type of fight in his whole life

00:09:34.740 so what about that makes him good

00:09:36.980 really though

00:09:37.920 that's a little better

00:09:39.500 my answer would be

00:09:41.900 did nothing he did in his last fight impress you

00:09:45.040 so it's like

00:09:46.960 it's like this you wrestled right

00:09:48.520 and you were actually relatively good

00:09:50.160 if I threw you in there against

00:09:52.800 Jordan Burroughs

00:09:53.920 right and even i'm really hell of a sudden i didn't have a chance against him what would i

00:09:57.380 learn about jordan burroughs and the answer is i wouldn't learn much because the level discrepancy

00:10:01.380 of the levels is so far apart and you're not good compared to him so i'm not going to learn much

00:10:05.940 about him right and so if he had fought someone good we're going to learn something about him

00:10:09.780 he fought i don't even know what the first dude's name was he was a bomb and the basketball player

00:10:14.080 while he was a good athlete looked like he literally the first time he got punched there 0.79

00:10:17.800 was just like oh oh shit that's what it feels like oh and it was like to me it was like oh man 0.94

00:10:24.780 that guy really never got punched before like he'd never been hit and so you know when someone's in 0.97

00:10:30.480 there against people that level i think it's hard to judge did he throw a good one two yeah sure

00:10:35.220 right but i mean if no one's ever fought lots of people can throw good one twos against them i just

00:10:40.480 think so jake and i both are approaching that three-year mark with any sport not any not even

00:10:46.560 just sports anything you do for three years if you don't get somewhat good at it by that time like

00:10:52.180 stop he's hit that tipping point and i can confidently say this he's hit that tipping

00:10:57.400 point where he's he's not just a youtube boxer anymore and he's obviously on that mission to

00:11:01.580 prove that sure but my again my uh continuous rebuttal would be he is at that point where

00:11:08.160 he's a legit boxer now and i'm sure you've seen on instagram but when you say legit is that like

00:11:13.180 um you know he would challenge for world title is that he's no no is that no like where does

00:11:19.160 legit go you know like legit in the sense of um and we have we experience this every day people

00:11:24.820 come over and they they think they're sparring a youtuber then they they leave nose bloodied and

00:11:29.740 having been knocked down three times in a casual sparring session when i say legit boxer i mean

00:11:35.080 he's um far beyond what his skill yeah would be perceived so it's yeah i mean obviously i don't

00:11:42.820 in the boxing world as well so it's kind of hard for me to judge levels like in mma when i say is

00:11:46.620 this like is this guy who's challenged for uc title is he like uh a ufc low level fighter is

00:11:51.460 he a regional fighter like so i guess that's kind of like it's it's hard for us to tell because he

00:11:57.360 hasn't fought anybody and so hey if he's really really good if he's genuinely good boxing he might

00:12:02.460 beat me right if he's not could he's not that great if he's not a high level guy he's not gonna

00:12:07.440 beat me you can definitely we know he can strike the story you're telling right now is is one that

00:12:12.320 i've been kind of uh in line with which is which is we think he's a very good fighter but the fact

00:12:20.700 of the matter is we just haven't had the ability to see it proven yet and that's just that's just

00:12:24.800 the fact of the matter we've seen him fight three non-fighters right not not fighters on his two

00:12:29.240 now he's had three fights two two professional and one amateur right got it um the good thing

00:12:35.840 about this fight in my eyes and i've been saying this the whole time is i personally believe that 0.98

00:12:40.220 If he is able to step into the ring and be an actual fighter, someone who has seen been bloodied up, has been dropped on their fucking head and gotten back up. 0.98

00:12:50.240 We were at that fight. 0.98

00:12:51.120 I want to talk about that.

00:12:52.000 We'll talk about that after.

00:12:53.020 If he can win this fight, a lot of people are going to have to stop doubting him.

00:12:58.060 A lot of people are going to have to say, yo, he just beat someone who fights for a living.

00:13:01.380 Now, you're not a boxer, but you definitely learned enough about how to strike through your training for MMA.

00:13:08.040 i believe beating you would give jake paul enough credibility to continue telling that story sure

00:13:15.760 and so i mean we we both wrestled right and so you could probably relate this more i mean have 0.97

00:13:20.120 you ever been at that tournament right and you see the kid kind of warming up you're like damn

00:13:24.420 he's kind of slick you know and you watch him drill and you're like wow he's good yes and then

00:13:28.480 you see him out there and also he's in the match and it's not going his way and he just does and

00:13:32.660 he's not the same guy anymore right he's a different guy yeah that's that's kind of what 1.00

00:13:36.320 i'm expecting to be honest so listen i mean your pussy ass brother ain't gonna do shit 0.99

00:13:42.460 no i i actually i hear that um yeah paint a picture for me go for it you win what what 0.99

00:13:53.000 happens to both you and jake uh i don't know what he's gonna do so i retired from fighting

00:13:57.700 i said um if there was interesting things that come up in my future i would take them this seems

00:14:01.780 like an interesting thing seems like fun i could tell my hip surgery i needed a reason to get back

00:14:05.440 in shape i was thinking i was gonna probably do a wrestling match of some sort just to kind of

00:14:09.720 have a reason to train uh this came up i took it who knows maybe i fight you right maybe other

00:14:15.860 youtuber or maybe i just go do a couple wrestling matches i don't know you lose what happens for

00:14:20.120 both you and jake uh if i lose i mean i probably just go back to coaching my wrestling academy

00:14:25.400 you wouldn't be concerned that the kids would make fun of you for losing they probably will

00:14:29.540 so let's hear here so if you know a continuum of ages the five-year-olds they don't know they just

00:14:35.080 run around and act all crazy all the time, right?

00:14:36.920 By the time they're like seven through nine,

00:14:38.420 they're kind of a little scared of you

00:14:39.360 and they act real good.

00:14:41.120 10, 11, same thing.

00:14:42.320 By the time they get to middle school, 1.00

00:14:43.300 they're just little assholes no matter what. 1.00

00:14:45.280 Sorry, guys, I love you, but you are, right? 1.00

00:14:47.340 I hear, they are watching, right?

00:14:50.220 And I hear the George Masvidal comment,

00:14:52.240 I don't know, five times a week.

00:14:54.420 His name's Jorge Masvidal.

00:14:57.040 You better put some respect on his name.

00:14:59.500 And I hear that comment. 1.00

00:15:01.780 Jorge, stop the shit. 1.00

00:15:03.240 I hear that comment five times a week, and it's like, okay, ha-ha, good, you know. 1.00

00:15:07.600 So, yes, if I do get beat up, I'm sure the middle school kids will make fun of me.

00:15:10.920 By the time they get to high school, they're like, you're my coach, let's get to work, you know?

00:15:15.260 But also, by the time they get to high school, by the time—

00:15:17.540 So you've got to wait a decade for them to stop making fun of you.

00:15:20.060 No, it's just that 12 through 14 age group. 0.98

00:15:23.160 They're really tough, and they're going to give me crap, and it's fine. 0.83

00:15:26.560 I love them. They'll grow out of it. 0.97

00:15:27.820 But by the time they get to high school, too, and they're 18, 0.99

00:15:30.960 Then all of a sudden they can't talk shit to you anymore 1.00

00:15:33.360 Because you can fuck them up at that point 1.00

00:15:34.920 What'd you say 1.00

00:15:37.260 Bitch 1.00

00:15:38.080 Don't forget 1.00

00:15:39.360 You don't wrestle your students

00:15:41.680 I do I just said I don't whoop them

00:15:44.440 You don't

00:15:44.900 No I mean like I'm not gonna like

00:15:47.500 I don't think there's ever been a high school where I've like put it on him

00:15:50.780 You know like tried

00:15:52.040 I don't have to have high school kids I don't have to try

00:15:54.280 I had a

00:15:55.260 So we should say I'm not nearly as good

00:15:58.860 At wrestling as you are

00:16:00.940 Like obviously

00:16:01.540 You've even tweeted about it 1.00

00:16:03.100 Like I'll fucking pin you in 0.99

00:16:04.440 Like I'm purposely 1.00

00:16:05.100 We were supposed to do a match

00:16:06.040 What the heck 0.98

00:16:06.360 No we fucking weren't 0.99

00:16:07.140 Why not 0.98

00:16:07.940 Why not

00:16:08.820 It sounded like 1.00

00:16:10.140 You're gonna kick my ass 1.00

00:16:11.060 In wrestling 1.00

00:16:11.640 Well

00:16:12.280 He said influencer Ben 0.99

00:16:13.980 Not fucking 0.98

00:16:14.920 One of the best wrestlers 1.00

00:16:17.440 Of fucking 1.00

00:16:18.060 No bro you're a fucking Olympian 1.00

00:16:19.280 Like chill chill chill 1.00

00:16:20.280 But I would wrestle

00:16:21.880 Some of my coaches

00:16:22.720 Yeah

00:16:23.320 Who's your coaches

00:16:24.320 Do I know

00:16:24.680 So the one you might know

00:16:26.060 Is Jake Percival

00:16:26.900 Oh he was good

00:16:28.200 He was very good

00:16:28.700 He was really good

00:16:29.160 He was very good

00:16:29.900 I remember

00:16:30.400 uh he would he'd take it fairly easy on me but he was the only guy on my team who i could wrestle

00:16:35.940 that would make me better because i i got to that level where um i was just better than everyone on

00:16:40.100 my team like a couple surrounding districts yeah and i remember um i took him i think i took him

00:16:45.260 down once yeah in my entire high school career yeah and it was like the moment where i was like

00:16:50.440 oh i'm actually like pretty good at this sport but again i don't think he was trying so you never go 0.99

00:16:55.800 in there and just kick your kids ass um no i mean well i kicked their ass but am i really trying 0.99

00:17:01.020 right so there's a continuum there's zero i'm trying zero percent i'm trying 100 percent 1.00

00:17:04.520 and i don't think i've ever went 100 not even on the best kid no i mean maybe when i mean like

00:17:10.840 you're right so if i'm if i'm really wrestling and i haven't i don't really get to wrestle very

00:17:14.640 often because i don't you know they're high school no no no

00:17:17.500 how was it how was it how'd it feel i'm gonna rough him up a little bit he went here and i go 0.99

00:17:28.640 i'm his bitch there's literally nothing i've seen him crush watermelons i've seen him crush 0.99

00:17:34.060 watermelons with his grip when he did this we had a talk i go yo like i don't know this ben guy 0.99

00:17:37.520 like what if he lunges from a boy as soon as he did this i was like i don't know he's on his own 0.99

00:17:41.340 I was like, I was like, fuck that. 0.98

00:17:42.460 I would not intervene at all. 1.00

00:17:45.060 Yeah.

00:17:45.500 But, well, the other thing is the job of a coach is not to beat up your athlete.

00:17:48.940 The job of a coach is to help them.

00:17:50.160 To make them better.

00:17:50.820 Yeah.

00:17:51.100 So sometimes you got to pick up the pace to, you know, make them feel what it's like to

00:17:55.840 get beat up a little bit.

00:17:56.560 Yeah, of course.

00:17:57.140 Right.

00:17:57.300 But lots of times it's like, I'm just trying to get them into positions they need to figure

00:18:00.740 out.

00:18:01.120 Right.

00:18:01.520 And so I'm getting them in those positions over and over and over again.

00:18:04.000 And I'm making them work hard there, but I'm not like trying to put it on them.

00:18:07.360 I got you.

00:18:07.760 Got you.

00:18:08.700 I'm jumping around a lot. 0.99

00:18:09.680 I was just going to say, on the contrary of you kicking asses, 0.98

00:18:13.160 can we just talk about the Masvidal knee for a second? 0.99

00:18:15.340 Hold on a second.

00:18:16.060 Hold on a second.

00:18:16.900 Okay, well, we were just there.

00:18:18.120 We mentioned George.

00:18:19.320 The teenagers bring it up all the time.

00:18:21.320 I'm the host of the show.

00:18:22.040 Well, I'm bringing it up in the nicest way.

00:18:23.240 No, I'm the host.

00:18:24.520 I didn't say go.

00:18:25.520 Say whatever you want.

00:18:26.500 You want to talk about Twitter?

00:18:27.240 No, I just want to talk about this fight a little.

00:18:30.040 Nah, but we can.

00:18:30.820 I mean, look.

00:18:31.440 Okay.

00:18:31.840 I don't know how much you know about me, Ben.

00:18:33.640 Not that much.

00:18:34.600 Okay.

00:18:35.140 So I started off making videos on Vine.

00:18:37.840 I heard, yes, I've heard that.

00:18:38.680 So my career started in six seconds and your career ended in six seconds.

00:18:43.160 It's a good joke.

00:18:44.060 What was the last thing you remember before Jorge Masvidal 0.98

00:18:48.020 needs you in your ear hole? 0.96

00:18:50.460 You know what? 0.86

00:18:51.300 I don't, I don't remember any of it really.

00:18:53.000 I remember you looking, making eye contact before the fight started.

00:18:56.520 And then that's, that's really it.

00:18:57.860 And then, yes, it's not ideal.

00:19:00.060 Not ideal.

00:19:00.780 And then, um, right.

00:19:02.340 I, um, so I was obviously awake, but I kind of,

00:19:05.800 the first thing I remember then I was in the hospital and I woke up.

00:19:10.520 I'm like, Oh, okay. And then my wife's there and she's like, Hey, what's up?

00:19:14.840 And then I remember like, I remember like, I didn't, I didn't feel,

00:19:19.180 I didn't feel sore. And I'm like, I'm in the hospital. I don't feel sore.

00:19:23.560 I'm like, this didn't go very well, did it? And she goes, nah.

00:19:26.120 And I'm like, it was pretty fast, huh? And she goes, yup.

00:19:29.500 I'm like, when you found out how fast it was,

00:19:32.660 uh i don't even remember that um i i don't know if she told me there right away but then

00:19:37.660 you know what's funny is when when i like started clicking it was like everything was i never had a

00:19:43.120 headache i never felt bad i went back to my hotel room i went to my after party all my buddies were

00:19:47.760 there um i never once felt anything from it um so well he got you like in the neck yeah i mean

00:19:54.660 so that's what it looked that's what it appears i don't i don't remember i just told you guys that

00:19:58.320 I'm sure you've seen the video

00:20:01.040 That's where it appears

00:20:02.340 But I couldn't tell you from first hand

00:20:04.540 Does it make you feel a little bit

00:20:07.400 You don't seem to be too upset

00:20:09.460 About the situation

00:20:10.120 Which is great 1.00

00:20:11.960 It's very hard to fuck with you 1.00

00:20:13.700 But does it make you feel better 1.00

00:20:17.320 At all

00:20:18.280 Having it been Masvidal

00:20:20.840 Who is considered to be one of the most ferocious 1.00

00:20:22.940 Fucking animals of a human in the world 0.99

00:20:24.960 You know what 1.00

00:20:25.540 uh no i you know i don't yeah i don't dislike him that much but i don't also don't like like

00:20:33.240 him that much i'm kind of like in the middle on him um but you respect him as a as a fighter

00:20:40.020 yeah yeah so yeah as a fighter yes um but you know i guess like i like robbie lawler i like

00:20:46.520 i like a lot more you know i like him a lot um i wish there was nobody obviously right i wish

00:20:52.840 and if i win that fight then i'm fighting the world for the world title next and so

00:20:56.820 yeah i mean listen things like they happen in your career and i went 10 years without getting 0.96

00:21:00.960 rocked or getting hurt or really everything went my way for a decade um so i mean sometimes shit

00:21:06.820 doesn't go your way that's it i think people forget about the context around that fight like

00:21:10.800 that's why it was exciting to me i think and i've just spoken about it on this podcast before

00:21:14.640 um you may know like i i was very excited for your entrance into the ufc like you're definitely a

00:21:20.100 showman you know you're likable um you did the boom roasted thing i thought it was funny like

00:21:24.480 you have a new guy the wrestler right um and i think people forgot the context around that 0.56

00:21:31.480 jorge mazaro fight like you were talking a lot of shit well so the main reason i was talking so much 0.89

00:21:36.280 shit was well number one to sell the tight fight obviously right but number two was uh i had to 0.98

00:21:41.700 encourage him to want to take that fight so if you remember i had booked my plane ticket to london 0.93

00:21:46.660 him and Darren Till were fighting.

00:21:48.000 So I beat Robbie two weeks later,

00:21:49.300 him and Darren Till were fighting.

00:21:50.640 And I said, I want the winner of that fight

00:21:52.600 because they were ranked, I think, three and eight,

00:21:55.720 but obviously, or two and eight maybe.

00:21:57.220 And I knew they were gonna be,

00:21:58.140 whoever wins is gonna be really high.

00:21:59.620 And I was like five or something.

00:22:01.340 And so I knew, hey, I beat the winner of this.

00:22:03.060 I get a title fight. 0.99

00:22:03.940 And Till talks a lot of trash too 0.98

00:22:05.580 and people like Masvidal. 0.95

00:22:06.700 So I knew it would be highly marketable.

00:22:08.400 But right after that fight,

00:22:09.920 George didn't want to take it.

00:22:11.020 And I think he knew,

00:22:13.080 I don't do well against wrestlers

00:22:14.420 as we saw in the Usman fight.

00:22:15.680 and so it was you know he was hesitant and just like george is not taking the colby fight right

00:22:20.380 now like that's the fight to make and it's not happening because i don't think george really

00:22:23.920 wants it and so i had to call him some names and i made him mad enough and then he said yeah

00:22:28.840 i think that's what made it as bad as it was though like i remember watching it i was like 0.93

00:22:34.300 yo they've been talking crazy shit about each other like tensions are high and then i blinked 0.87

00:22:38.460 And it was over ferociously. 0.95

00:22:42.400 On the flip side of it, we were at a fight in Vegas for Usman versus Tyron Woodley,

00:22:51.880 which did not go well for Woodley because he was on the show earlier that week 0.99

00:22:56.240 and had told us to bet the fucking house. 0.98

00:22:58.540 Tyron was on this show that week? 0.99

00:22:59.720 Which Logan did bet the house, and it didn't go well.

00:23:03.360 It's still here, though.

00:23:04.420 Well, we lost some of the house.

00:23:07.260 but uh but east wing of the house and we were we were really excited about that about that

00:23:12.700 woodley usman fight but a fight before that and i'm not a huge fight guy i'm not even a slightly

00:23:17.160 huge fight guy but a fight that happened before that was this guy ben askrin yeah who got at one

00:23:24.060 point smashed through the earth into the like i thought you were going to come out in china

00:23:29.220 literally like i was i and i said okay fight's over i even sat down and went on my phone even

00:23:34.880 And a couple of big punches were eaten by Ben.

00:23:37.760 And I looked up and not too long after that,

00:23:40.800 he was choking the guy.

00:23:42.240 He just grabbed his head.

00:23:43.740 Don't do it. 1.00

00:23:45.640 What the fuck? 0.99

00:23:46.820 And so when people, when this fight, the Jake fight, 0.99

00:23:50.320 and when all the talk started around that

00:23:51.740 and everybody brought up the flying knee,

00:23:53.020 I said, but it's not as simple as that.

00:23:55.520 You ain't a glass jaw by any means, right?

00:23:59.700 So like, you know, do you,

00:24:03.380 I guess what I'm trying to parlay into here is what do you think the chances are that you get

00:24:07.400 knocked out by Logan Paul's brother? Highly unlikely. I mean, I've never, besides the

00:24:11.820 George knee, I've never been rocked in a fight or in practice. Really? Never. Yeah. Even, even when

00:24:17.580 he dropped in your head? No. I mean, so the, the part about getting dropped my head. So I shot a

00:24:22.380 double, I short dragged out of it and I kind of had his neck, right? What they call it's a seat

00:24:26.580 belt in jujitsu. It's not a seat, a seat belt in wrestling, something different. Um, and I was in a

00:24:30.800 great spot and i under no circumstances expected him to be able to lift me up right i just didn't

00:24:35.800 think that was a possibility from there and he picked me up and i was like oh shit right and i'm 0.97

00:24:40.400 like uh eff it i'm gonna hold on to this shit and i thought i would hold be able to hold on to it 0.96

00:24:44.440 and he put me down in my arm if you watch my arm gets trapped under my body right so he's over here 0.98

00:24:48.780 my arms chapter my body and so i had this whole side open which is where he was hitting me from

00:24:52.720 um but no the whole time i was you know cognizant of what was going on but it was like

00:24:57.180 really hard to get my arm free right so i had to get back to my back and then i finally was able

00:25:01.860 to free my arm and then i could kind of come up and into him um so no the whole time i was cognizant

00:25:06.120 it wasn't it wasn't fun getting punched in the face but i was like okay gotta get your back gotta

00:25:10.200 get your back and then you know clear your arm and then dig the underhook and then come back up

00:25:13.260 and into him because that was your first ufc fight right yes i remember and then and then you pulled

00:25:16.880 the win out yes it was incredible wild it was it was a fun fight to watch yeah dana white 0.97

00:25:22.220 Dana fucking White 0.99

00:25:25.160 Your brother made Dana White like me 1.00

00:25:27.160 It's tremendous

00:25:34.380 Do you know this?

00:25:36.200 It just happened

00:25:37.260 This is breaking news

00:25:38.460 He might have told me a little bit ago

00:25:40.040 Dana White willing to bet a million dollars

00:25:44.020 On Ben Askren beating Jake Paul

00:25:46.000 Yeah

00:26:19.440 He's been a world champion in other organizations than MMA.

00:26:22.920 He's going to be an interesting test player.

00:26:23.840 Yeah, but it's different, though, Dana.

00:26:25.180 When you're standing up from wrestling and standing up and letting him hand fly,

00:26:29.620 one thing I can't say about him, he got hands.

00:26:31.980 Yeah?

00:26:32.420 He got hands.

00:26:33.260 I'm not joking.

00:26:37.600 Then he loses this fucking fight. 1.00

00:26:39.220 Dana, why? 1.00

00:26:42.840 Mike Tyson is loving it.

00:26:44.780 You know he took two handful of mushrooms.

00:26:46.540 That's true.

00:26:47.040 He doesn't even know what they're rooting for.

00:26:49.460 He said, we heard in the beginning,

00:26:51.740 he said, Jake Paul is going to bring 75 million people

00:26:54.920 to the fight of sport of boxing.

00:26:57.360 That's a lot of people.

00:27:00.340 That might be an all-time record.

00:27:01.760 That's what I'm saying. 1.00

00:27:02.480 That's a lot of fucking people. 1.00

00:27:04.460 Jake's going to make a billion dollars on the fight, dude. 1.00

00:27:06.940 Yeah.

00:27:07.320 Any pressure?

00:27:08.860 No. 1.00

00:27:10.020 Dana White's going to lose a million dollars 0.61

00:27:11.420 because of you potential.

00:27:11.940 Dana White's got plenty of millions of dollars.

00:27:14.320 That's true.

00:27:14.860 He's got so many millions. 0.95

00:27:15.720 You know what's fucked up about that interview? 0.86

00:27:17.040 i was supposed to be where zap was shahidi asked me to say i'm so happy was that that's 0.87

00:27:21.360 so much of a better co-host for that it was in vegas yeah they just did it yeah why uh why does

00:27:27.060 dana white not like you oh or did he not um you know what i still have never had this conversation

00:27:31.940 with him so i was a free agent in bellator in july of uh 2013 i finished my contract i was 9-0 there

00:27:39.260 i was uh 29 years old and i just i had beat i defended my title i'd outstruck under crush

00:27:45.480 golf 248 to one in the final fight and for me it was like at this point in my life it wasn't about

00:27:51.720 making money and staying in bellator it was like i want to challenge myself against the best guys

00:27:54.860 in the world and that was really all i wanted to do and it just didn't work out between me and him

00:27:59.760 and i never got um a real good final reasoning and i had met the ceo of one championship and so i

00:28:05.460 i decided to go over there because you know i'd burned my bridges bellator i wasn't going back

00:28:09.120 there the ufc thing didn't work out so i went to one championship and then i was the champion there

00:28:13.200 for you know roughly four years and um i still had like one or two fights on my contract and i

00:28:18.880 retired there because it was just like i guess the one thing i read a lot about not only boxers

00:28:23.320 but all sports people is they they can't retire on time and they spend all their money right

00:28:28.160 pretty much across the board so it's like if i'm an athlete when i grow up don't spend too much

00:28:32.960 money don't retire too late so i retired in uh november of 2017 and i said with the caveat if i

00:28:38.660 get to fight the best guys in the world i will come back and i didn't know how that was going

00:28:42.080 to happen um and then sure enough like what 10 months later they called me and they said hey

00:28:47.100 we're gonna we're gonna trade you to the ufc and it was like a trade what do you mean how does a

00:28:51.880 trade work this never happened so they got demetrius johnson who's like the the goat welter

00:28:58.200 oh he's great yeah yeah so he did not want to fight in the ufc anymore and so it was like both

00:29:03.160 of these uh people had you know pieces they wanted to exchange for something else and it

00:29:07.560 yeah so he's over there he's the champion he's actually fighting i want to say in like two

00:29:11.600 weeks on tnt something like that is the is the competition level the same bellator versus ufc

00:29:16.380 or is ufc clearly a bit more not quite that easy um so there's great fighters everywhere

00:29:23.460 and you know the the simple answer would be there's probably it's deeper in the ufc right

00:29:27.740 there's more really high level people but if you look at like say the wec who the ufc bought or

00:29:33.080 strike force to the ufc bought a lot of people shit on those organizations while they weren't

00:29:37.240 ufc but then you know from strike force rousey became a champ cormier became a champ woodley

00:29:42.220 except rockhold right all these guys um you know and then like eddie alvarez came from bellator and

00:29:47.440 he was a champion so it's like there are great guys everywhere okay there's probably more of them

00:29:51.780 per weight class in the ufc but that doesn't mean they're not anywhere because some guys will say

00:29:56.400 i would rather take you know more money if someone else is offering it than fight in the ufc

00:30:01.380 i feel like uh i feel like there's definitely some good guys who uh come from bellator we

00:30:11.400 saw with michael chandler recently uh yeah he beat dan hooker yeah pretty pretty badly but

00:30:18.900 then you know i look at guys like dylan danis and i'm like yo well dylan danis but he's not

00:30:22.640 even a good bellator fighter okay yeah he's like two and oh what's that guy's deal

00:30:27.620 Listen, I don't know what his deal is.

00:30:29.300 He doesn't – I think he just wants to be a social media guy.

00:30:31.820 He doesn't actually want to fight because he has fought two times in MMA.

00:30:35.140 That's what we've been saying.

00:30:35.820 And by the way, I ask it curiously because I just don't know because I always ask that.

00:30:42.220 I'm like, is he an influencer?

00:30:44.060 Is that what his –

00:30:45.180 We don't know. 0.99

00:30:46.160 So no one has a fucking answer. 0.98

00:30:47.460 Okay, so Dylan Dennis was a good jiu-jitsu guy. 0.99

00:30:50.720 Very good.

00:30:51.360 Very high level.

00:30:53.120 Let me look.

00:30:53.780 But he hasn't had a fight in a minute.

00:30:56.060 like i i can't tell you the last time he fought and so it's like well you're gonna go do this

00:31:00.040 fighting thing but then he so he's fought both guys he fought someone's got it someone should

00:31:04.000 tell me he actually has to fight to if yes let's see so the last time he fought i'm looking this

00:31:08.460 up because i don't i don't know offhand it's been a while it's been like two years though

00:31:10.920 but yeah so he doesn't actually fight he's a fighter but he doesn't fight the last time he

00:31:14.760 fought was june of 2019 he's just that's like in two years yeah it's almost two years he's been

00:31:20.620 hanging out and by the way i'm sure you know this jake offered him a contract to fight on

00:31:25.180 this to be in your position yes so i think and i think there was kind of a hold up there and i

00:31:29.580 think they wanted dylan more than me because i think i think your brother thinks dylan leads

00:31:34.300 to connor what it may may not i'm not sure because right they're buddies um and so i think dylan 0.99

00:31:40.100 probably was the one they really wanted and dylan's kind of a pussy too um so that probably 0.99

00:31:44.920 helps it was he was i'm telling you what i'm telling you what you were you were i think next 0.99

00:31:49.080 up yeah obviously but there's just beef there you know for i think years now and we just want to

00:31:54.400 shut this guy up um and it'll happen eventually if he ever you know actually fights as a fighter

00:31:59.380 yeah so yeah but he's under an amendment contract and he hasn't fought in almost two years so i

00:32:03.140 don't know what he's doing no idea uh and he's very low level too like he has fought two really

00:32:09.100 bad guys it's not like in bellator he's fighting the best guys in bellator he's not even close to

00:32:13.920 that level yet i think it's all about a matchup and then uh the circumstance so like uh you you

00:32:19.100 wanted to wrestle with me like uh maybe for fun i would do it but not in like a serious let's go

00:32:23.280 back i was gonna ask you if you wanted to spar after this spar boxing yeah yeah i didn't bring 0.57

00:32:30.940 any shit but uh we could go wrestle a couple takedowns see this is what i'm saying i don't 0.79

00:32:36.540 want to do that but i'll box you it's all circumstance i feel like both of you guys 0.97

00:32:40.700 are dodging you're like no no i don't want to do it but wrestling he's like no i don't want to get 0.91

00:32:44.060 my ass kicked i'll box you no i didn't bring my stuff is there like an in-between like just 0.91

00:32:49.600 kicking or something you'd lose that too right obviously mma mma how is that an in-between 0.99

00:32:54.720 that's at all you can punch me he's like there's anything goes um but like same with dylan like i

00:33:01.180 wouldn't do like a jujitsu match with dylan he's good he's very good at jujitsu but i'm fairly no

00:33:06.380 both jake and i would beat the shit out of him in boxing i think that's where jake's confidence

00:33:11.280 is coming from as well with with with your fight um i mean i think with dill yeah dylan is just

00:33:16.100 like you've done good jiu-jitsu that's fine right but if you're gonna be a fighter you actually have

00:33:21.200 to fight people and both the guys he's fought were under 500 and i'm pretty sure they were kind of

00:33:25.440 hand-picked opponents because you know he does have a big name from jiu-jitsu and his social

00:33:28.980 media presence because of mcgregor but it's like i mean he probably has another eight to ten fights

00:33:35.460 before he would ever fight for like a bellator title right he is like a very very long way away

00:33:40.220 yes

00:33:40.960 isn't he too old then

00:33:42.760 I mean

00:33:44.060 you can

00:33:44.560 in MMA sometimes

00:33:45.440 if you're you know

00:33:46.220 you're cracking

00:33:46.700 you can get three or four

00:33:47.460 fights in a year

00:33:48.120 so I mean

00:33:48.680 not him

00:33:49.360 he can't do

00:33:49.840 one and two

00:33:50.560 wait how old

00:33:51.960 he can't be very old

00:33:53.740 he's young

00:33:54.540 he's 24

00:33:55.100 25

00:33:55.480 yeah but 24

00:33:56.460 no you got time

00:33:57.900 no there's time

00:33:58.460 that's not that

00:33:59.180 yeah

00:33:59.380 in MMA

00:34:00.420 he hasn't done it

00:34:01.720 you sure

00:34:02.140 in MMA

00:34:02.640 no one does it

00:34:03.460 when they're a kid

00:34:04.020 right no kids fight

00:34:04.920 so like people

00:34:06.120 don't usually

00:34:06.640 would you talk to me

00:34:07.180 face this way

00:34:07.740 because I feel like

00:34:08.340 you're gonna lunge

00:34:08.840 well I feel like

00:34:09.280 okay

00:34:09.500 in mma people don't do it when they're young right no one fights as a kid really they may

00:34:16.620 be wrestler jiu-jitsu or something else and so you're taking your first pro fight at age 18 so

00:34:21.580 you're not like you know challenging for a title or if you want a title at 23 25 that would be

00:34:27.580 really really early how much you weigh ben right now probably 200 oh yeah yeah yeah yeah you're

00:34:33.060 I was just looking at you two

00:34:34.920 I'm like

00:34:35.300 You're so much bigger than George

00:34:38.080 Stop

00:34:39.240 What's Jake weight right now?

00:34:42.240 I think we're fighting at 190

00:34:43.380 Yeah I was going to say 0.99

00:34:44.320 Jake's pretty fucking thick 0.98

00:34:47.140 He's probably 205-210 0.99

00:34:49.680 He's got to shred a little bit

00:34:50.960 He got thick

00:34:53.340 I don't know what happened 0.99

00:34:54.060 Karma because he called your wife thick

00:34:55.920 That's how he called her

00:34:59.200 Jake was the last one to go through puberty

00:35:00.980 Then all of a sudden, everyone missed him for a year. 0.99

00:35:03.560 Now they're like, what the fuck happened? 0.98

00:35:05.180 Incremental horizontal growth. 0.98

00:35:06.680 He's just getting wider.

00:35:09.800 In a good way, please, Pam and Greg.

00:35:11.780 They're muscles.

00:35:12.300 Just so you know, Pam and Greg both texted me before this show.

00:35:16.560 Both of them texted me. 0.96

00:35:17.540 They said, hey, you fucking watch it out there today. 1.00

00:35:20.460 What I hear for your bullshit. 1.00

00:35:21.620 I said, listen, that's all stopped a long time ago. 1.00

00:35:24.280 As a ground guy, very respected ground guy,

00:35:27.540 what has the training been like?

00:35:29.140 trying to trying to bring those skills way upstairs you're now working with a very famous 0.93

00:35:36.540 coach in freddie roach what does it look like to have to train because not being an asshole here

00:35:43.000 but i've seen some of the sparring footage and i've and i've even said like i i don't know if 0.95

00:35:47.540 he's if he's learning technique by punching that slow but somebody made the joke that you look like

00:35:51.900 how people punch in their dreams like were you like people punching their dreams yeah you try

00:35:56.140 to but you can't move fast i never had that dream this is listen this is not me saying it i'm just

00:36:00.860 saying like what is i'm just curious i've never had that dream i can't relate to you right now

00:36:05.360 i don't know what you're trying to punch a giant monster and you're like it's saying you can't do

00:36:09.260 anything you guys all have these dreams yeah it's a pretty well known it's a pretty well you can't 0.99

00:36:13.840 punch i'm pretty fucking superman in my dream i'll beat somebody's ass in my dream reality check 0.95

00:36:18.160 comes in wow but anyways back to the question what when you're when you're training like i've 0.99

00:36:23.800 seen the stuff and when you i think the way people are looking at it from the outside when you watch

00:36:28.780 jake's sparring sessions or when you watch jake's training he's he's got the same he's got that

00:36:33.980 snappiness he's got that technical snappiness that jab is quick and it's back in to protect them

00:36:39.260 he's got the same the kind of skills that you would uh uh acquire in a three-year quest for

00:36:45.180 boxing training when i when i watch your um striking and your initial start at boxing it

00:36:50.040 looks like you're much earlier in the journey why does that appear appear like that well i i think

00:36:54.940 i look pretty funny to everything i do i think yes okay so even uh i would go back to my college

00:36:59.440 career i had a coach i coached with uh brian standard arizona state and he was a little older

00:37:04.360 than me and he kind of got out of the game he got his phd so he got out of the game and then we

00:37:07.840 coached together and uh he said hey ben i never really seen you wrestle too much you got some

00:37:12.220 film i said sure i gave him a highlight tape and the next day he came me he said everything you do

00:37:17.180 is wrong how did you win so many matches and it's like i mean that's just kind of i've got used to

00:37:22.220 that right everyone thinks what i do looks strange and funny and then all of a sudden i'm in front of 0.65

00:37:26.120 them and they're like oh this guy won't fucking go away right like this is way harder than i thought 0.60

00:37:29.940 it was going to be and so i think there's a lot of that uh i was the slowest guy on my college 0.91

00:37:35.260 wrestling team i'm very very slow twitch so you're not offending me by saying i'm slow i already know

00:37:40.520 that i've known that for a very long time i was just curious and honestly what it what it it's

00:37:44.400 not slow it just seems like you're being more methodical with your form and trying to pick it

00:37:48.840 up as someone that's that's new to the sport of actually boxing would do the thing i'm most

00:37:54.880 interested to see with with the jake fight is we a lot of people talk about how you're going to

00:38:00.700 react to a boxer and and and being and fighting someone who's not going to go to the ground who's

00:38:05.460 just going to simply try to strike you i'm interested to see how jake reacts to someone who

00:38:10.000 might not go down from a good right or who might or who might not wait for jake to throw a punch

00:38:15.440 and may show up and be like yo i'm gonna press yeah who wants to fight yeah yeah and so i'm

00:38:18.980 very interested to see how it how it goes in both ways sure i agree with you yeah i had some uh

00:38:24.500 questions from twitter i love twitter i'm greatest source of information on planet earth

00:38:29.700 some say you know where to look they're actually uh they're actually taking me easy

00:38:33.920 okay i thought i thought they i could think all the twitter has to handle no yeah no they're

00:38:38.220 actually asking good questions um and we can just pick and choose i haven't pre-chosen any this

00:38:43.660 one's good i think are you nervous facing someone who's not a traditional fighter what what is that

00:38:48.500 i don't know i mean i don't know why i'd be nervous about that um i think that that should

00:38:53.340 make me less nervous no because if you lose i mean i'll just say it's over it's over for you

00:38:58.480 what do you mean i'm gonna go i'm gonna go back i'm gonna run my wrestling academies my life is 0.99

00:39:02.320 not really gonna change a few 13 year olds are gonna tease me a little bit like that sucks man 0.98

00:39:07.740 This dude's bulletproof. 0.98

00:39:08.860 Forever?

00:39:11.040 Oh, my God.

00:39:11.600 Logan, I don't know your life that well.

00:39:13.480 I'm sure there's something you've done that you've done. 0.99

00:39:15.780 Damn. 0.99

00:39:16.400 I wish I wouldn't have done that. 1.00

00:39:18.140 You know damn well, Askren. 0.52

00:39:21.500 You son of a bitch. 1.00

00:39:22.720 Okay, you did something in Japan. 1.00

00:39:24.280 Maybe you got a hand job and a massage.

00:39:28.640 Wait, you asked.

00:39:29.200 And everyone knows this.

00:39:30.120 No, stop.

00:39:30.540 Ben, you actually don't know?

00:39:32.920 How can you not know, man?

00:39:34.380 Everyone knows.

00:39:35.160 I'm just like, because I'm in my world.

00:39:36.720 I talk about wrestling.

00:39:37.120 No, this was the world. 0.86

00:39:39.040 You got a handjob for real? 0.98

00:39:40.380 Yes. 0.99

00:39:41.100 Oh, man.

00:39:41.480 A bad handjob in the long run.

00:39:43.460 I think my camera guy might have two when we were in Singapore.

00:39:46.220 Do you know his boxing record?

00:39:46.760 I'm not sure, though.

00:39:47.700 I've not made one mistake ever.

00:39:53.360 It's like, Logan, look at me.

00:39:55.060 This might help a lot.

00:39:56.020 I know you got a teenage fan base.

00:39:58.020 That's not even true anymore.

00:39:59.140 This might help them.

00:39:59.940 I wish I had it. 0.97

00:40:00.800 I'm trying to get Gen Z.

00:40:02.820 I'm going to give them some advice. 0.64

00:40:04.420 Listen, there's going to be some stuff in life that you regret.

00:40:07.120 There's going to be some stuff that's embarrassing.

00:40:08.900 Listen, just get over it and you live your life.

00:40:10.440 I'm going to run my wrestling academies the same day.

00:40:12.160 I tell kids, you know, when they're nervous about a big match,

00:40:15.800 I tell them, listen, man,

00:40:17.480 I had the most embarrassing knockout

00:40:19.580 that's ever happened in MMA history.

00:40:21.560 I'm the same guy July 7th as I was July 5th.

00:40:24.300 Why don't you just shake it off and you keep moving?

00:40:26.900 Unreal.

00:40:27.420 I mean, listen, he's absolutely right.

00:40:28.880 He's absolutely right.

00:40:30.060 He's so happy all the time.

00:40:31.080 Are you ever sad?

00:40:32.040 You ever get depressed about anything?

00:40:33.800 Maybe when the Bitcoin price drops like 20% a day.

00:40:36.540 It'll be back in seven days

00:40:42.100 I was just going to say

00:40:43.440 That makes me happy

00:40:44.540 It makes me happy when that happens

00:40:46.300 Because I get to add to my position 0.99

00:40:47.460 And honestly if you ain't buying those fucking dips 0.99

00:40:50.120 We have a group chat called the dip buyers 0.99

00:40:52.400 It's great

00:40:54.360 Group chats

00:40:54.980 It's the same group chat

00:40:58.840 We just name it something different every week

00:41:00.520 Ben I'm going to be honest with you man

00:41:02.040 I really want you to lose the fight

00:41:03.820 But you're a nice guy

00:41:05.420 It'll be all right. 0.94

00:41:06.060 And now I'm fucking confused. 0.97

00:41:07.380 I feel like my parents got divorced and I don't know. 0.98

00:41:10.360 Will I cry?

00:41:11.560 I did.

00:41:12.180 You know, I was kind of emotionally touched.

00:41:13.980 People are making fun of your brother.

00:41:15.620 You know, listen, I've cried when my brother won,

00:41:18.040 when he won national title.

00:41:18.960 I shed a couple of tears.

00:41:19.980 It was very emotional for me to see him break through

00:41:22.000 and win the national title.

00:41:23.080 Jake cried when you lost.

00:41:24.320 And, you know, I thought, listen, I thought that was kind of cool.

00:41:26.480 People are making fun of him.

00:41:27.380 I thought, hey, he loves his brother.

00:41:29.380 That's cool.

00:41:29.840 You're saying nice things about Jake.

00:41:30.920 See, I thought that was weird.

00:41:32.440 I thought that was weird.

00:41:33.400 I mean, listen, I'm not that emotional.

00:41:36.040 I wouldn't cry over a...

00:41:37.760 Because listen, you're rich, you're famous, 1.00

00:41:39.700 and you lose a fucking boxing match, so what? 1.00

00:41:41.580 Who cares? 1.00

00:41:42.100 I think that's where my head was at, but also, I don't know.

00:41:45.040 I'm going to be honest, Homeboy was blasted.

00:41:46.880 What?

00:41:47.160 He was drunk. 1.00

00:41:48.000 He was fucking drunk. 1.00

00:41:48.200 Oh, Jake was wasted. 1.00

00:41:49.440 He was trashed.

00:41:49.540 Well, I was with him.

00:41:50.320 I'm like, he's like, my brother loves the fight.

00:41:53.560 And he was like, I also really want some ice cream.

00:41:57.240 I'm like, Jake, what's good, dog?

00:41:59.140 It's not that big of a deal, Jake.

00:42:00.920 Shannon Briggs is flipping out in the back 1.00

00:42:03.120 and I'll kill everyone in this bitch. 1.00

00:42:06.040 I was like, what the fuck? 1.00

00:42:07.040 And I'm in the middle like, what the fuck is going on? 1.00

00:42:09.240 Everybody just keeps telling me, just trim your nails. 1.00

00:42:10.980 Just calm down.

00:42:13.840 Sorry.

00:42:14.440 Anyways, back to Greg.

00:42:15.880 Can we go back to the Bitcoin for a second?

00:42:17.140 No, I want to talk about this.

00:42:18.120 This one says how far can you throw a baby?

00:42:20.740 No, it doesn't say.

00:42:21.800 How far can you throw a baby?

00:42:23.220 The farthest I've ever thrown a disc was 489 feet

00:42:26.180 in distance competition in Phoenix, Arizona.

00:42:27.580 I can't believe you know that.

00:42:28.620 I can't believe you know that.

00:42:29.460 I think I took seventh place or something.

00:42:32.920 That's not first.

00:42:34.060 Well, unfortunately, you can't win everything.

00:42:35.700 Have a thumb wrestle.

00:42:37.380 Have a thumb wrestle.

00:42:38.300 You can't beat this guy.

00:42:39.200 How do you plan to answer that question?

00:42:41.240 Wait, wait.

00:42:41.760 I'll say go.

00:42:42.340 I'll say go.

00:42:42.800 No, you got to do one.

00:42:43.480 You don't want to say go in a thumb war.

00:42:44.880 I'm sorry.

00:42:45.580 One, two, three, four.

00:42:47.140 I declare a thumb war. 1.00

00:42:48.940 Oh, you're fucked, Logan. 1.00

00:42:49.960 Look how small Logan's thumb is. 1.00

00:42:51.180 Look how calm he is.

00:42:51.780 It is pretty small, though.

00:42:53.000 He really is slow twitch, though.

00:42:54.720 I'm just waiting for you to fall from a trap.

00:42:57.600 You move your fingers.

00:42:58.740 Stop cheating.

00:42:59.100 Groundhog.

00:42:59.460 One, two, three.

00:42:59.960 I'm in the ground.

00:43:00.660 I pinned you.

00:43:01.540 I'm in the ground.

00:43:02.400 One, two, three, pin.

00:43:04.940 That's an old school trick.

00:43:06.120 Everyone on the playground knows it.

00:43:07.320 No, raise my hand.

00:43:08.160 Groundhog.

00:43:08.840 He said raise my hand.

00:43:10.880 Look at yours.

00:43:12.020 He said raise my hand.

00:43:13.060 I saw his fist size.

00:43:14.200 And I was like,

00:43:14.540 my thumb was way bigger than his, I think.

00:43:17.380 Why are your hands, 1.00

00:43:18.520 you have fucking bulky hands. 1.00

00:43:20.380 You're deceptively small. 1.00

00:43:22.200 You know one thing?

00:43:23.540 This is,

00:43:24.120 this is not working conspiracy theories,

00:43:27.220 but I think,

00:43:27.860 I cut a lot of weight in 7th and 8th grade for wrestling

00:43:30.200 and I think I stunted my growth a little bit

00:43:32.740 because I have bigger hands and feet than my brother

00:43:34.700 and yet he was a 197 pounder

00:43:37.020 I was a 174 pounder

00:43:38.480 Can y'all stand next to each other for a second

00:43:40.620 just so I can get

00:43:41.740 I really am trying to understand this size

00:43:43.400 I think he's taller than me

00:43:44.820 But it's not

00:43:47.580 Wait, hold on

00:43:48.180 What is that?

00:43:51.080 4 or 5 inches?

00:43:53.020 He's wide

00:43:53.720 Is this what the Mayweather fight's going to look like?

00:43:55.500 5'11"?

00:43:57.380 Yeah, he's way taller than Mayweather.

00:43:59.160 Mayweather's 5'7", 5'8".

00:44:00.920 I want 145 pounds.

00:44:02.960 Mind-blowing, dude.

00:44:05.540 What do you think about that?

00:44:07.860 Yeah, that's a great...

00:44:09.580 Dude, you're great.

00:44:10.580 Dude, you ate 6'9".

00:44:12.520 He crushes watermelons, bro.

00:44:14.440 He goes like this and crushes them.

00:44:16.840 I'm going to be honest with you.

00:44:18.280 For somebody who doesn't know that video,

00:44:19.900 for you to just stare at me while holding me and be like,

00:44:22.480 I crush watermelons.

00:44:23.820 is a very very weird thing to say logan paul floyd mayweather yeah i thought it was happening

00:44:30.460 in february but then it didn't happen all right listen don't worry about it looks like it looks

00:44:34.860 like may just so logan that ain't gonna go very well for you oh he's the best in the world that's

00:44:41.420 what i've been saying you know i was i was not the best in the world in wrestling but i did take

00:44:45.540 sixth place in olympics which is relatively good and then i retired and i tried wrestling jordan

00:44:49.580 burrows and it didn't go very well for me because he was actually the best in the world i saw that

00:44:53.540 match and i was no longer the best you guys were the same weight uh he actually you know i was

00:44:58.160 same age you know what i was pissed about no i'm older um i was pissed that he made me cut weight

00:45:02.980 because it's like jordan you're gonna beat me i went i've went to nebraska to train with him for

00:45:07.140 four or five days and then he made me cut weight just to beat me not cool but look i'm not i'm not

00:45:13.320 only not having to cut weight i think i have to cut like to 190 which is the lowest i could go 0.99

00:45:17.580 but not you know an extreme weight cut uh you know how we've talked about this shit fuck everyone's 0.99

00:45:23.180 told me i'm gonna lose i get it yeah no no i just yeah no i just want to fucking be able to 0.99

00:45:27.680 hold my hand so high so high coming out on top and uh just prove everyone wrong man like i've 0.95

00:45:35.720 never had i've never had a fire like this in my life ever lit under me because i've never been 0.98

00:45:41.680 in a situation where like literally everyone doubts me besides my fucking man milton and my dad 0.97

00:45:46.780 and the don and jeff i love y'all and kevin kevin you really think so you never told me 1.00

00:45:51.220 What the fuck? 0.99

00:45:51.680 What about me? 1.00

00:45:52.280 Suck my fucking dick. 1.00

00:45:53.980 I think first round knockout. 1.00

00:45:56.940 If Dwight carried Conor for nine rounds,

00:45:59.640 surely he's going to carry Logan for a few.

00:46:01.360 Yeah, he'll get carried a few rounds.

00:46:02.560 Yeah.

00:46:02.920 Give me a person.

00:46:03.620 He's going to carry himself.

00:46:06.520 But just know who's going to lie

00:46:08.660 and said he always believed in you.

00:46:09.920 You don't even lie.

00:46:11.680 You don't even lie.

00:46:12.440 But also, no.

00:46:13.640 The last thing I need is to get to that deep of water.

00:46:17.220 I need this thing to end quick.

00:46:18.460 I need Logan to land a punch round one, one, two. 0.99

00:46:21.220 three and get the fuck out well you're not telling me he's gonna win is he are you no no you're kind 0.99

00:46:25.700 of a bad friend i'm not dude i'm not bro listen i'm not i here's the thing we need friends that 0.99

00:46:30.000 are honest with us would you hear and i am that guy trust me i am not i i tell him all the fucking 0.93

00:46:34.220 time let me ask you a question would you say because this is what i've always told yes that 0.99

00:46:38.540 he has a chance not even one don't tell him don't tell him bro you're listening to fucking ben 0.93

00:46:47.480 asker and he thinks he's going to win against Jake. 0.98

00:46:49.660 Clearly, he's not all in there. Who had a puncher

00:46:51.420 chance against Floyd? He's fought, like, how many times?

00:46:54.340 Name anybody.

00:46:55.940 I think there's only one person who knocked him down.

00:46:57.880 Ben, an era has ended, my

00:46:59.460 friend. An era has ended.

00:47:01.580 It's over.

00:47:03.140 Before you meet Jake, you can hang out with Floyd.

00:47:05.280 That's what I'm saying. We could spar right now.

00:47:07.020 Yeah, I mean, we could spar.

00:47:08.960 Even if you were able to beat me up,

00:47:11.740 I would still have no faith that

00:47:13.380 you could beat up Floyd Mayweather.

00:47:15.340 That's what I was just going to say.

00:47:16.660 Here, Ben Askren, here.

00:47:18.880 This is not the same thing.

00:47:21.600 Two things are not the same.

00:47:23.800 Ben, listen, we run a traditional fighters camp out here.

00:47:26.640 Our boy, Logan Paul, is God.

00:47:28.200 He's going to win the fight, and he's going to crush on him. 1.00

00:47:30.480 You're a fucking yes man, and it's pathetic. 1.00

00:47:32.360 No, I'm kidding. 1.00

00:47:32.660 You're disgusting. 1.00

00:47:33.420 You disgust me. 1.00

00:47:34.860 You're gross. 1.00

00:47:35.680 You fucking sicko. 1.00

00:47:36.720 Let's say he's got 1% chance. 1.00

00:47:39.280 Come on, come on, Ben.

00:47:40.820 I mean, if Floyd had been knocked out, maybe I would agree with you.

00:47:43.960 How many times has Floyd been knocked out?

00:47:45.840 Ben, Ben, Ben, you said it yourself.

00:47:47.720 What, one time?

00:47:48.500 You said you hadn't gotten rocked in the decade of combat sports.

00:47:51.860 You, you, you.

00:47:52.960 Then something happens.

00:47:54.660 Yeah, but it's a knee, not a punch.

00:47:56.340 And by another really high-level athlete.

00:47:58.440 What are we talking about?

00:47:59.520 I'm just saying.

00:48:00.240 You don't believe in miracles?

00:48:02.960 Okay, what would you do if you didn't win?

00:48:05.160 1%?

00:48:05.640 I'm on your show, so I'm not going to be.

00:48:07.480 You have a Hail Mary chance. 0.99

00:48:08.840 Let's go!

00:48:10.780 Let's go! 0.99

00:48:12.620 And that's all we fucking need, baby. 0.98

00:48:14.940 one for set 0.99

00:48:17.260 bet the house

00:48:19.060 bet the house

00:48:21.140 thank you guys for watching

00:48:22.540 in all fairness

00:48:25.800 the odds of a knockout first round

00:48:27.920 are going to be like

00:48:28.640 plus 20,000

00:48:32.440 bet the house

00:48:33.740 something totally insane

00:48:36.420 probably more than plus 20,000

00:48:38.180 Ibrahim says 0.99

00:48:39.960 can he suck my toes 1.00

00:48:41.020 that's really weird 0.99

00:48:42.780 No, I'm not in.

00:48:44.380 Hello, you answered it.

00:48:45.840 We already talked about a lot of this stuff.

00:48:48.620 Clean pride, please.

00:48:49.900 Yeah, so you don't know what's going to happen next.

00:48:51.660 Will says, what's the next step if you do defeat Jake?

00:48:54.780 I'm going to fight you.

00:48:56.200 You really want to do that?

00:48:58.040 Well, I mean, once you get beat up by Floyd,

00:48:59.840 you need a bounce back match, don't you?

00:49:02.000 You will not be my bounce back match.

00:49:05.420 Yeah, you need someone easier.

00:49:07.080 Maybe George will fight you.

00:49:08.360 It doesn't get easier, Ben.

00:49:09.600 somebody just somebody just asked about xrp i don't xrp i don't like xrp well xrp was

00:49:18.200 was a pump yeah uh well it's a it's centralized and i i think the powerful thing about crypto um

00:49:26.080 is the decentralization right like bitcoin no one controls the bitcoin protocol it's out there it

00:49:30.780 runs and there's no politicians controlling it i mean we just brand 1.9 trillion dollars today

00:49:36.680 the united states government and other governments around the world doing the same thing bitcoin is

00:49:40.840 not controlled by anybody it's it's a algorithm it's out there it runs and that's it what are

00:49:45.600 your top three coins right now um no not freaking dogecoin thumbs down who said it um i go bitcoin

00:49:54.320 litecoin and ethereum i have some cardano too and then i have a whole bunch of um one of my buddies

00:49:59.840 the buddy who started uh he started flow sports which started with flow wrestling and flow track

00:50:03.940 he started a very unique thing and it's got a crypto part of it so it's a it's a content

00:50:09.300 creator site and the idea is that content creators they always get screwed by the networks right so

00:50:14.000 the digital networks get so large that even if you're a huge creator for youtube youtube's going

00:50:18.800 to tell you what you earn and with his is every single day it pays out a token and then you can

00:50:24.900 right save it or you can cash out and then as the value of the network goes up are you plugging your

00:50:29.580 friends thing i am absolutely you should be on there is it called flow coin or something it is

00:50:34.480 not flow uh he he was a ceo for a decade okay that's separate guy it's called uh ray token

00:50:39.880 okay um yeah so like i earned him a ray token at 10 or 11 cents and it's now worth like three

00:50:44.540 dollars holy shit yeah i'm seeing some appreciation i do not need this fight for 0.97

00:50:50.160 money i mean there's some people surmising that um i've great word very rising great fucking word 0.99

00:50:55.520 Way to go. 0.97

00:50:55.680 We like work.

00:50:56.360 Decent vocabulary.

00:50:57.500 Yeah, it's good.

00:50:58.960 No, I mean, obviously, I appreciate getting paid.

00:51:02.020 That's going to be great, right?

00:51:04.100 But I kind of like, I needed something to get in shape for,

00:51:06.560 and this sounds like a good time.

00:51:07.700 I get to beat up a YouTuber.

00:51:08.780 It's going to be tremendous.

00:51:10.140 Ah, YouTuber.

00:51:13.120 He hates the platform so much,

00:51:14.740 he won't even call it by his own days. 0.98

00:51:16.340 He calls it after a Pew-toe.

00:51:17.360 Any thoughts on Chainlink?

00:51:19.680 So I think something in the Oracle space

00:51:22.700 is going to be really big.

00:51:23.580 I think by Chainlink is leading right now.

00:51:25.560 And then something in the DeFi space.

00:51:27.400 I think those two spaces, something's going to go like 100x from here.

00:51:32.520 We're big on Stinky Linky.

00:51:34.080 You like Linky?

00:51:34.760 Yeah, we like the Link.

00:51:35.600 What about the DeFi space?

00:51:36.720 You guys like anything there?

00:51:37.780 No, we don't know what you're saying, man.

00:51:39.140 So DeFi is a decentralized finance, decentralized exchange

00:51:43.460 where people just exchange with each other.

00:51:44.800 There's no third-party intermediary.

00:51:46.580 So like, for example, Uniswap is one.

00:51:49.460 Oh, Uniswap.

00:51:50.140 We use Uniswap.

00:51:51.980 Is it ERSL?

00:51:52.940 ERSTL Matic

00:51:54.380 ERSTL Matic

00:51:55.500 I mean are we doing

00:53:23.060 I'm paying John

00:53:23.700 on this project

00:53:24.240 in Ray Token

00:53:24.940 are you serious

00:53:25.440 yeah for sure

00:53:26.380 well because

00:53:27.120 well you know

00:53:28.160 he's having a lot of FOMO

00:53:29.900 because last year

00:53:30.740 when he was my vlog guy

00:53:31.760 you know

00:53:33.260 I was earning the Ray Token

00:53:34.440 at 10 and 11 cents

00:53:35.540 and I offered to pay him

00:53:36.600 in Ray Token

00:53:37.160 and he said no

00:53:38.020 and now it's for $3

00:53:39.220 and he's thinking

00:53:40.080 oh my gosh

00:53:40.980 I could have made

00:53:41.520 so much money last summer

00:53:43.020 It's going to drop, though.

00:53:45.140 Ray's going up.

00:53:46.200 Or you can get on something else.

00:53:47.000 Logan Paul's going to join the Rockfin network.

00:53:50.540 Wait, you were vlogging?

00:53:51.620 You were a YouTuber, too?

00:53:53.760 No, no, only Rockfin.

00:53:56.320 Oh, you were doing that?

00:53:57.360 Yes, Rockfin.

00:53:58.240 Don't you guys realize the problem with digital networks,

00:54:00.260 that they have too much control?

00:54:01.640 We also have our own platform.

00:54:03.800 Which one?

00:54:04.620 We have a premium subscription service.

00:54:06.120 I believe you do, too.

00:54:07.220 But then you don't get the network effect, right?

00:54:10.260 So, for example, if you're A and you're B and you're C,

00:54:12.740 and you all each have 10 a plus b plus c and digital networks mean more than 30 not yet the

00:54:18.780 particular platform we're on may be able to optimize in the future where there is a network

00:54:23.680 effect like where you can choose which creators you're subscribing to which content but we also

00:54:27.880 it's gray actually but we also believe although that's a more effective system sorry efficient

00:54:32.480 system for the creators we think it's more effective for the end user currently because

00:54:35.760 people know what they want to fucking see and they pay for it yeah so like when you go on netflix and

00:54:39.540 you want to watch the new rambo movie that's coming out it says sorry rambo isn't available 0.99

00:54:42.880 but these following titles kind of like it are you don't give a fuck about those you want to know 0.96

00:54:47.320 what you want to see fucking rambo yes so right now the way it's set up is you pay for what you 0.84

00:54:51.420 want and you get that but we're looking at a couple different yeah options what no more twitter 0.96

00:54:56.620 questions just went with one two they it was it was kind of lame like we were asking things we

00:55:01.780 already asked that's all let me ask you where did you wrestle in high school i know it was ohio but

00:55:06.500 What school specifically?

00:55:07.520 Westlake, Ohio.

00:55:08.280 Man, I wrestled some good dudes.

00:55:10.700 Who's the best guy you ever wrestled?

00:55:11.940 His name is Dominic Abunader.

00:55:13.920 Oh, Dominic Abunader?

00:55:15.000 Oh, yeah.

00:55:15.740 Okay, I know him.

00:55:16.500 How do you know him from St. Ed's?

00:55:18.100 Man, I follow wrestling.

00:55:19.260 I'm a huge wrestling fan.

00:55:20.040 Wow, he really follows wrestling.

00:55:21.620 St. Ed's, and then he went to Michigan, obviously,

00:55:23.980 and now he's wrestling for,

00:55:24.880 he's actually wrestling for Lebanon. 0.99

00:55:26.280 How the fuck does he know that? 0.99

00:55:27.900 He's wrestling for an entire country? 0.99

00:55:29.700 Yeah, well, so- 0.98

00:55:30.440 The whole Lebanon's on his shoulders. 0.99

00:55:32.000 No, how does he know that?

00:55:32.840 The University of Michigan,

00:55:34.160 they've actually kind of gamed the system a little bit.

00:55:36.500 they're they're getting guys to wrestle so the mean brothers wrestle for san marino

00:55:41.380 abinator wrestles for uh lebanon dave habit wrestles for um this is too bro do you understand

00:55:48.940 i don't remember what other country dave habit that's an ohio guy too you probably know him

00:55:52.100 the the name abinator yeah creates a a horrific i do this wasn't so good huh no let me pull up

00:56:02.420 the picture oh well you know who your brother got wrecked by that i put on on instagram i saw that

00:56:07.880 that was my guy so ben darmstadt he came to my funky fresh camp um like four years maybe or

00:56:13.900 something he was good right now he's very he's very good that kid was good yeah man so so a little

00:56:18.360 little backstory on this um i was i was good right yeah there was there were some guys who

00:56:25.600 were great uh-huh and it was very clear that you know dominic abunader was one of those guys

00:56:29.620 like uh three time state champion yeah freshman sophomore junior like when a freshman wins at

00:56:36.140 states it's good also at like not a not a lightweight class i think he was like 152

00:56:40.240 which he's a big boy something something's going on so i came to wrestle this guy um uh i avoided

00:56:46.180 him at sectionals but caught what do you what do you mean you avoided him so how do you do that

00:56:50.620 oh i avoided him but how he lost on purpose so really so i i made it to the championship match

00:56:58.120 but in the match I the right before I kind of tweaked my knee a little bit and I was like

00:57:02.140 because you already advance if you're in the top four to district so I was like I was like hmm 0.98

00:57:06.900 there's a good chance he kicks my fucking ass and also like I'm kind of hurt I don't really 0.98

00:57:12.500 want to risk it too as I was out huh but then I caught him at districts and what happened for 1.00

00:57:17.780 first place this happened oh oh man that doesn't really even look like you that's me man really

00:57:25.940 Do you have a black eye in that picture?

00:57:27.440 Yeah, yeah.

00:57:28.120 Some guy need me in the face during the same tournament.

00:57:30.120 Oh, man. 0.93

00:57:30.340 You know that's not legal in wrestling. 1.00

00:57:32.000 Elbowed, sorry. 0.99

00:57:32.940 Elbowed.

00:57:33.300 That's also not legal. 0.69

00:57:34.240 Yeah, no, it wasn't.

00:57:35.240 He got a point.

00:57:36.420 So is that in Cleveland?

00:57:37.600 Westlake's in Cleveland?

00:57:38.440 This was at Ashland Community College.

00:57:42.240 Got it.

00:57:43.400 And yeah, man, wrestling's a crazy hard sport.

00:57:46.060 And it's weird because I knew I was good, dude.

00:57:49.640 I'd beat probably 95% to 99% of the guys in that face.

00:57:53.780 But then you come up against guys like this. 0.99

00:57:55.800 sure who walks through everybody yeah and it's a mind fuck because you you think you're at a 0.96

00:58:02.840 certain level levels to this no this levels to this yeah of course were you at that level 0.97

00:58:07.320 uh abonator was never my level though not even close no he's an olympic yeah i mean well he

00:58:12.920 never won ncaa title either um i won two odds trophies so i think that's pretty safe to say

00:58:18.920 he was very very high level i think he was a three-time all-american at michigan um his name 0.98

00:58:23.460 scarier than yours abonator yeah like he's like he's gonna come fuck you up he's gonna come back

00:58:28.000 from the future ben sounds nice yeah was there no other really really high level people you wrestled 0.95

00:58:33.640 uh uh he was by far the best that stands out um the other ones i either beat him or like lost by

00:58:41.900 a point he very clearly abonator'd me dominic abonator was it a thing did people say that like

00:58:48.200 is he the abonator like oh really they call him the terminator i told you my boys came up to me

00:58:52.840 before the match and we're like yo we found oil in his bag i was like what do you mean they're 0.88

00:58:55.680 like he's a fucking robot oh man so did you ever consider wrestling in college or were you like a 0.84

00:59:00.960 star by this point no i i i was i was smart um okay and so i took the or the academic scholarship 0.99

00:59:07.240 and also i didn't i didn't i wasn't like in love with it i got bad knees it kind of fucked up my

00:59:13.200 legs that's why i like boxing super upper body base but yo i boxing is really a lot easier on 0.53

00:59:18.400 your body than mixed martial arts i'll tell you i know yeah i know and it's as uh as someone with

00:59:22.800 not the strongest uh lower body it works really well for me i told dom uh i think i said this

00:59:30.500 somewhere um i would love to i'd love to box him now like dominic avenue finally something i'm good

00:59:35.520 at like i'd love to what if get gloves on what if he comes that would be the worst thing ever yeah

00:59:42.640 he's like come on man why don't you come spar me in my backyard he comes in here and just 0.99

00:59:46.140 fucking whoops my ass you up oh my god what would you do he's like lebanon wrestling iraq boxing 0.99

00:59:51.980 you i could see on the ground like this abunator someday i will have my revenge 1.00

01:00:01.060 yeah he's doing he's doing really well uh i i don't think he qualified for the olympics though

01:00:10.800 but so michigan had like uh miles mean for example qualified the olympics for san marino

01:00:15.280 so he's wrestling at the olympics but for the country of san mario not for america what made

01:00:18.860 you so good at wrestling because when you said like everything you do you look funny yeah i felt

01:00:23.340 that yeah you don't appear to be this this superstar athlete but you were especially in

01:00:29.380 this so vertical um so i guess what i you know i had a lot of success because i worked pretty hard

01:00:34.660 in high school and then when i got to college um athletically i couldn't keep up with anybody

01:00:39.840 in the weight room i was way behind runs behind and you know i even then you're like well there's

01:00:43.720 guy looks like tyron woodley athletically i can't keep up with him and so there was this thing like

01:00:47.380 okay i want to be great at this how do i be great at this and that was kind of where a lot of the

01:00:51.880 scrambling and you know the funky name kick came from is i had to figure out a way for myself to

01:00:56.920 win because i couldn't do it the way a lot of other people went you know were doing it and my

01:01:01.540 coaches were open to that they helped me and they were great and you know by the time i was you know

01:01:06.580 four years later it's like i kind of revolutionized the way folk style wrestling was done but you're

01:01:11.500 talking about college college yeah so in high school though were you good i was starting to

01:01:15.480 have there's just such a difference between high school and college wrestling i mean the levels are

01:01:19.200 way different um i yeah i was starting to get better so and i always had success in the state

01:01:23.820 of wisconsin but nationally the first time i ever placed was after my junior year of high school so

01:01:28.760 you know i was like 17 at that point so it kind of took me a while to have success there um but

01:01:34.560 yeah and then college it's like even my freshman year i lost 10 matches in my redshirt season and

01:01:39.120 it was like to you know guys were good but not that good um and then you know i really made a

01:01:43.460 jump the next year and i only lost eight matches in my college career you know seven were the one

01:01:47.720 freaking guy uh chris pelton who's the head coach at oregon state right now uh he has had my number

01:01:53.220 he's at oklahoma state and i only beat him once so does your non-traditional style contribute to

01:01:59.020 people underestimating you and and uh do you like that if if people do underestimate you um yeah

01:02:05.820 like i said i mean literally like i was not being facetious i kind of look funny in a lot of things

01:02:10.340 i do um and it's like i you know brian snyder i was 87 and 0 my last two years and i won the

01:02:16.280 hots trophy for the best college wrestler he's like he's literally like you don't do anything

01:02:21.060 right how did you win so many matches i mean that's literally what people thought because i

01:02:24.380 did a lot of things differently and uh but i just found ways to make them work i think that's kind

01:02:29.120 of where like a lot of people have really high level success because once you start doing things

01:02:33.460 differently um there there's not a lot of replication of that right and it's in any field

01:02:39.360 and so then when other people have to face you they struggle because they can't get the replica

01:02:44.020 of you and i did the same thing mma people could not find a replica of me and you think you know

01:02:48.580 like the other guy who did kind of what i did was khabib and it's like people couldn't find a 0.98

01:02:52.880 replica of khabib you literally don't know what that feels like until you're fucking underneath 0.81

01:02:56.600 him getting punched in the face a hundred times and by then it's too late you know so i think 0.97

01:03:00.980 that kind of helped a lot are you from wisconsin yeah so i i was born in iowa lived in wisconsin

01:03:06.680 five to 18 uh went to the university of missouri coached every two years there coached arizona

01:03:11.460 state for two years then i was kind of having some success in mixed martial arts and i said

01:03:16.100 okay i should move home i moved home and i fought at uh rufus i don't i was only asking because i

01:03:20.860 wanted to see if you ever had a butter burger from culver's ah yes i have my kids like it more

01:03:25.540 than i do but yeah what's your go-to moderate speed burger chain uh i i like five guys a lot

01:03:31.740 yeah yeah that's a great answer i'm here for that i'm a shake shack at the very top of five guys

01:03:37.240 yeah it's also like the only thing that's open and i live kind of like out in the suburbs you

01:03:41.860 know and so when i get done with practice at nine o'clock and i'm going home if my wife doesn't have

01:03:45.160 dinner uh that's one of the only things open george you used to work there yep for real yeah

01:03:50.000 i used to work at five guys good things are bad things to say about them uh good every place i've

01:03:54.000 ever worked at i've uh i've loved in fact i worked there and they loved me so much the guys next door

01:03:59.460 opening up a buckle like a jeans store and the guy came in he goes whatever they're paying you

01:04:04.220 i'll pay you more and i said all right turn around to my manager and he goes if they're paying you

01:04:07.620 more get out of here took off my apron through it went next door and they got mad at me there

01:04:13.640 because you kind of have to lie to people and say they look good in jeans and i was like

01:04:17.420 don't go to those jeans they don't look good on you and they were like 200 bucks you're lying i

01:04:21.800 I swear to God, I go, and these ones are like 60.

01:04:24.460 And the guy pulled me aside.

01:04:25.380 He goes, hey, maybe you should go back to Five Guys.

01:04:27.480 And I literally just walked back to the studio.

01:04:30.360 Two weeks later.

01:04:30.960 The same day?

01:04:31.700 No, two weeks later.

01:04:32.500 He walked back like, hey, how you doing?

01:04:35.100 I swear to God, he threw an apron. 0.99

01:04:36.300 He's like, what the fuck is going to work? 1.00

01:04:37.240 And I was like, what the fuck? 0.99

01:04:39.300 So that was my little Five Guys start. 1.00

01:04:42.040 Oh, my goodness.

01:04:43.580 Wow.

01:04:45.100 He's been a cook for a couple places.

01:04:47.300 I worked at Benihana's, right?

01:04:48.820 That's why I practiced stand-up.

01:04:50.340 My first joke was, how did you guys get a Middle Eastern? 1.00

01:04:55.460 And they would just die of laughter. 1.00

01:04:57.620 So it was good.

01:04:58.620 Nice.

01:04:59.080 Hey.

01:05:01.740 Oh, my goodness.

01:05:02.560 That's really sweet.

01:05:03.500 Really sweet.

01:05:04.060 I like you, man.

01:05:04.720 You're a nice guy.

01:05:05.200 How did you guys meet then?

01:05:06.860 I stocked him.

01:05:07.820 Did he find you at the Five Guys?

01:05:10.660 Bought stocks.

01:05:11.320 No, I was having a really bad day, and I went to the gym, and I saw him,

01:05:15.340 and I finessed him to give me his number.

01:05:17.340 For real?

01:05:17.760 I swear, yeah.

01:05:18.280 No, that's a joke.

01:05:18.900 I swear to ask him.

01:05:19.320 No, yeah, all these stories are weird. 0.98

01:05:21.260 Everyone in this house who I've met is fucking weird. 0.87

01:05:23.460 I mean, you have a collective of very weird people. 0.99

01:05:25.740 But don't act like you don't know.

01:05:26.920 This camera guy's giving me some weird vibes.

01:05:29.340 Yeah, talk to us about Singapore again, bro.

01:05:31.200 I have questions about John.

01:05:32.940 So John was a collegiate wrestler at UW-Whitewater,

01:05:35.940 and we had some mutual friends, and I needed a vlog guy,

01:05:39.500 and he started, and he kills it.

01:05:41.660 He does a great job.

01:05:42.400 Do you have to be a wrestler to work on your team?

01:05:44.780 Well, John moved to State College, unfortunately,

01:05:46.820 to work for Scrap Life

01:05:48.240 and the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club,

01:05:49.560 but he comes back

01:05:50.160 to help me sometimes.

01:05:52.200 And yes,

01:05:52.800 you know what?

01:05:53.560 I may have Asperger's,

01:05:56.060 but so I only have

01:05:57.160 very specified interests

01:05:58.540 and I have a really hard time

01:06:00.320 talking to people

01:06:00.940 about things I'm not interested in.

01:06:02.860 So when they're a wrestler,

01:06:03.760 it makes things a lot easier.

01:06:04.660 Okay.

01:06:05.240 You know,

01:06:05.620 if they're a wrestler

01:06:06.620 and I don't know if you just, 0.99

01:06:12.480 You know?

01:06:14.280 And they're cool.

01:06:14.600 None of you guys want help.

01:06:15.720 I've been waiting for that.

01:06:15.940 And they're not saying help.

01:06:17.220 They're not saying help.

01:06:18.100 I've been waiting for that to happen for a long time.

01:06:20.240 George, you're supposed to fight me back.

01:06:21.660 Okay.

01:06:22.440 George, stop, stop, stop.

01:09:21.340 to the table

01:09:21.980 or she

01:09:22.580 she just kind of walked

01:09:23.660 she kind of walked up there

01:09:24.880 and then she started talking

01:09:26.080 to my other friend

01:09:27.180 did she know who you were 1.00

01:09:28.040 was she a stat girl 0.55

01:09:44.440 Yeah, so it's been

01:09:45.660 Maybe that's also a reason that

01:09:48.340 You're so just like 0.51

01:09:49.900 Transparent about everything

01:09:51.160 And just chill 0.99

01:10:13.700 they have low self esteem

01:10:16.060 about certain issues and it's like if you just have

01:14:59.660 last decade of my life getting there with guys who like are real killers with four ounce gloves

01:15:03.560 who could kick me or knee me or elbow me or really do anything they want um so the fact that you know

01:15:08.760 he can just punch me that's that's pretty easy comparatively you're not buying it um no i i think

01:15:14.640 in his head he's convinced himself of a narrative that's going to take place um and he has to say
