Summary
In this episode, I sit down with a good friend of mine to talk about the past, present, and future of the UFC and what we should be focusing on in 2020 and beyond. We talk about how to stay motivated, stay positive, stay on your ground, and stay true to yourself.
Transcript
00:00:19.200
yeah be a man never let your priorities go sideways always stick on the right path yeah
00:00:41.380
My biggest lesson is to stay motivated, stay positive, and always stay on your ground.
00:00:47.940
Like, if you have that one dream you have or something you want to start, just start it.
00:00:53.080
The number one question I got asked this year was, what is it like to fight a UFC champion?
00:01:01.520
And it's always funny hearing that because I'm reminded that actually happened.
00:01:36.480
We're going to set that shit up and get it out.
1.00
00:01:45.080
As we get closer to the three-minute mark, you're about to feel significant more about
00:01:50.560
They should be setting him right now nothing you do can hurt me and this is a moment
00:02:52.720
Don't stop me, cause I'm having a good time, having a good time.
00:02:57.780
I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky, like a tiger defying the laws of gravity.
00:03:05.260
I'm a racing car, passing by, like Lady Godiva.
1.00
00:03:17.160
Fighting a UFC champion 60 pounds heavier than you is exactly what it sounds like.
00:03:23.760
But so far, nothing good in life has come without some pain.
00:03:26.940
The year started with a concussion and getting Hollywooded in the same day.
00:03:30.760
Oh, and nearly getting Charles Barkley fired.
0.99
00:03:33.220
I wasn't really comfortable with the women doing this shit, I'm not gonna lie.
1.00
00:03:45.240
I decided to drop everything and travel the world.
00:03:49.560
to train with my favorite fighter growing up, Nate Diaz.
00:03:56.280
The following four months, I was only home for a week,
00:04:08.880
why should i stay home where my industry friends had turned into celebrities i had already secured
00:04:15.860
a hefty streaming contract and there was no clause against traveling you already know the
00:04:20.440
importance of exploration i don't need a drone on but i learned from greece to portugal to france
00:04:25.220
and then back no matter where you are keep your circle intact
00:04:28.780
i came home and concluded the year with debates and with politics exciting victories and shouting
00:04:53.880
matches alike. It feels good to be optimistic finally. I needed that after the amount of
00:04:59.100
beatings I've taken this year. Getting banned on Instagram, Twitch, Kick, fights with security
00:05:03.960
guards, and drama with co-workers. I was finally vindicated about some of those people, but the
00:05:08.920
rest of them used all their power to make sure of my demise. But none of it worked. I'm still here,
00:05:14.560
never knocked down. And as the year closes, I keep wondering why. Because on paper, I shouldn't
00:05:19.960
still be here. I'm not particularly interesting, not that intimidating, abnormally intelligent,
00:05:25.000
or uniquely gifted, but I am extremely flawed, often awkward, overconfident, and balding.
00:05:30.400
And I realize the only thing keeping me around is heart. A very big, veiny, girthy black heart.
00:05:38.400
It's the only common denominator preventing me from dying trapped in a cage with a killer.
00:05:43.180
One that allows me to remain mentally resilient through it all and relatable to people all over
00:05:48.040
the world. I realized this year just how much my belief has carried me. Through obstacles people
00:05:52.820
did not know we were capable of hurtling, especially me. I am certain 2025 is going to be a great year,
00:05:59.640
but best believe there will be plenty more punches thrown. Just make sure you never go down.
00:06:31.040
Get your layaway items on Klarna and celebrate Jesus' birthday.
00:06:45.040
I don't know why, because the Chevy died, so it's old now.
00:07:15.040
fuck let's go 71st 2025 maybe it's time to predict what next year is going to be like
0.99
00:07:30.240
because it's the last month of this year a lot happened if you think the culture changed
0.96
00:07:45.040
one thing i learned this year is how really desensitized we've become one week there's
00:08:09.500
a murderer that kills a ceo and gets away in a city bike the next all we want to talk
00:08:31.740
Okay. But you think it's written. Do you think there's a
00:08:35.740
He'd literally fucking murder. He'd murder
0.99
00:08:43.800
name up even higher but then it ruins aj that's his whole career his whole reputation's done
00:08:48.760
after that he can't beat the disney channel guy heavyweight champion can't beat disney channel
00:08:53.960
yeah but he's been boxing five years he's professional man this is going to destroy
00:08:57.720
if this is not mike tyson if it's if it's real he's going to absolutely hold on would you take
00:09:03.000
him when we came here now would you take him who uh what do you call boobin or whatever jake yeah
00:09:16.820
It must be a little bit annoying being an Irish guy
1.00
00:09:21.720
Because the first thing I want to ask them about is Conor
1.00
00:09:36.520
you guys don't want you no i don't live here okay what are you doing here i'm just visiting
0.75
00:09:44.500
with my family okay where you from utah portland snico thinks that every white guy that looks like
0.78
00:09:50.780
me is from utah i know damn well he said that because of this just because a white guy has
00:09:55.740
curly hair and has north face and khakis does not mean he's from utah portland maine portland
00:10:01.080
Oregon. Oregon. Oh, okay. Yep. How's Portland, Oregon doing? It's chill. I love it. I grew up
00:10:06.980
there, so. I went to Portland, Oregon in 2020 when they abolished the police. That place is crazy,
00:10:11.740
bro. So you think the city could run if there were no cops? I mean, the city's not running with
00:10:16.120
cops, so. Yeah, I don't even know what that shit is. There's a lot of shit going on. That's exactly
0.99
00:10:20.860
what I'm talking about. Their city abolished the police five years ago. They had no police zones,
00:10:26.520
and it was run by random Antifa members masked up, and they're like, I don't give a fuck about
00:10:30.820
actually move on quicker than ever before hey welcome to nyu
00:10:40.500
i did that nyu tour and got rejected and then last month they asked me to speak at their class
00:10:46.980
funny how things turn look at this clip i don't like a lot of what he says too but i
00:10:50.420
think the best option we have is to try to push them in the right direction
00:10:52.660
but that's why it's the most patriotic position
00:12:47.900
I drew off with you ever since you, like, shaved your head and, like, made that video.
00:12:54.140
I remember being, like, in middle school and watching that video.
00:13:05.920
Yeah, she spit on, like, some dude that said to her.
1.00
00:13:19.200
Yeah, yeah, just making a vlog today, December 1st.
00:13:44.600
which is how important it is to invest into the future and not get caught into group thinking.
00:13:50.760
Mob mentality is an infectious problem that has grown even stronger with social media.
00:13:56.220
Back in the day, people would hate the witch and burn her at the stake or go in an angry mob with pitchforks.
00:14:01.640
Now we cancel people online and forget about it the next day.
00:14:06.660
When COVID started, it became extremely obvious that this was one of the...
00:14:11.360
when COVID started it became extremely obvious how when COVID when COVID started it became
00:14:17.940
extremely this is too fucking loud bro when COVID started it became extremely obvious that this was
0.92
00:14:23.240
one of those situations that people would look back on and regret that they got so mentally
0.84
00:14:28.860
wrapped up in at the time if you were against the mainstream narrative you were alienated unlike
00:14:33.560
anything I've ever seen before before and since then we see common trends repeat but on a much
00:14:39.040
smaller scale. Outrage and forget about it completely. That showed me how important it is
00:14:44.700
to invest into the future. Yes, it might seem profitable and it might seem even righteous
00:14:50.360
to get involved in everything they tell you to get involved in right now. But later on,
00:14:55.420
you'll regret what you said, but also look stupid to everybody else. At the time, I faced a lot of
1.00
00:15:00.720
backlash for being against the mainstream COVID narrative. But five years later, I'm reaping the
00:15:05.400
benefits for being right and saying something courageous when nobody else was.
00:15:09.880
Another great example was when Trump got the nomination.
00:15:13.260
It was extremely obvious to people who know that he was going to be not much more than
00:15:20.200
When he got the nomination, I was extremely critical.
00:15:22.520
I was posting pictures of Trump kissing the wall.
00:15:26.440
And that's what Yay24 was all about, the only political campaign that resisted AIPAC.
00:15:30.500
When election time came closer, I realized I had more power in wearing the MAGA hat and
00:15:35.940
then getting in a debate with Rabbi Schmoley and saying America first can only happen if
00:15:42.860
That debate happened and since then it goes viral pretty much every week and I think it's
00:15:47.880
The best example of this was Nick Fuentes, who was the only conservative commentator
00:15:51.820
who said absolutely not, no war with Iran, I'm not supporting Trump.
00:15:55.760
Now he's probably the biggest conservative commentator in the world while being banned.
00:16:00.320
if you remember during election season he was vilified so much for saying this they were saying
00:16:05.140
he was a Kamala Harris shill and he was betraying the conservative movement and understandably not
00:16:10.020
all of you are going to be political commentators but the idea still stands invest into the future
00:16:14.800
history repeats itself and groupthink is almost always a psyop whenever you catch yourself getting
00:16:20.740
too mentally involved with rage bait and trends stop yourself I could definitely work on this too
00:16:48.760
Not to give a fuck what people think about me.
1.00
00:16:53.000
By not giving a fuck what people think about me.
1.00
00:16:56.060
And then realizing, like, it's not beneficial.
0.99
00:16:59.960
I mean, the most beneficial thing is to, like, just be yourself.
