00:01:15.600Join us for a panel of Eurovision participants.
00:01:18.680And we do a little Halloween sometimes.
00:47:44.340i know but once you get there yeah once you get there uh i really really and i i got reminded by
00:47:50.040on instagram today when i saw justin bieber just he posted a caption saying show me something
00:47:55.000that's worth more than relationships and it's just him with a bunch of his friends
00:47:57.980passion remember when people would always say and it always felt so forced like a guru was saying
00:48:04.560it to you do what ignites your soul like what makes you feel yeah like for for a profession
00:48:11.000And I know it's easier said than done, especially for people watching this that have student debt, kids, a house to pay for, are living paycheck to paycheck.1.00
00:48:18.840I know it almost sounds like, yo, fuck you.1.00
00:51:01.680look easy but it's fucking not like every person who's on that level of achievement works their1.00
00:51:08.180fucking ass off like it is hard drake said the money's hard to make it is a fact that shit is0.99
00:51:13.400hard and so like you're gonna be tested you're gonna be tried million you're gonna be wrung out1.00
00:51:19.040what's what's the point though of what what is the point of it of what at the end of the day
00:51:24.580my point of my goals are happiness right because like no if i said that should be everyone's right
00:51:30.520Yeah. So I feel that the reason why, and I say this a lot, me flipping burgers at five guys is the exact happiness that I am doing what I'm doing now is because I didn't put my happiness second place to my goals. And I think when you start not being happy to your day to day, everything gets tougher. So when you know how to check yourself exponentially harder, you know how to check yourself and it comes with putting your pride away and humbling yourself, being grateful for what you've got going on makes the journey a lot easier.
01:13:49.160We'll fucking, we'll put a fee on it.0.96
01:13:51.380Is it a fight-by-fight basis, like you have to fight a certain amount of times,0.98
01:13:54.140or is there some sort of, like, contingency or extension that they can exercise?
01:13:58.280My contracts all across the board are a little different.
01:14:01.140My particular one, I signed a five-fight deal, and there's a clause on that for time.
01:14:11.280And if I was to, like, deny fights for a certain amount of time, then it could get extended.
01:14:15.960But, you know, if I fought out these, like, I'll tell you something.
01:14:18.700If I fought out these, like, it's fine for five.
01:14:20.880Like, once I would get to, like, four fights before I become a free agent, they would throw a lot of money in my face before I hit the free agency market.
01:14:27.460And for every fight, it varies, and it's different.
01:14:29.600You know, it might not be the same for the next guys for me.0.88
01:14:32.000They might throw a fucking shitload of money to me because they don't want me to become a free agent for whatever reason, you know.
01:14:36.600Or maybe even before I get to that fourth fight and the third fight, they'll come at me and be like, hey, let's sit down and talk.0.97
01:14:41.740Before we go any further, we're going to have you sign another five, six-fight deal.
01:14:45.540These are what the numbers are, you know.
01:14:46.740So that's how kind of they also, like, keep you.
