That one's probably close to 100. It's amazing.
00:00:47.000
I'm friends with Aaron Rodgers, and I don't even watch football.
00:00:51.000
And Aaron was supposed to play, but then Aaron blew out his Achilles tendon real bad.
00:01:01.000
All this hype about Aaron Rodgers going to the Jets, And the crazy thing is, they had drafted like a year or two before that Zach Wilson, who was like a number one draft pick.
00:01:10.000
He was supposed to be the, you know, the new quarterback that was going to take the Jets to the Super Bowl.
00:01:19.000
And so instead of giving up on him, the Jets said, okay, let's bring in Aaron Rodgers.
00:01:26.000
Because Green Bay was moving on from Aaron Rodgers.
00:01:31.000
Eventually, like all the legends, eventually their last couple years, they play on another team.
00:01:38.000
The last couple years, they go to a different team.
00:01:59.000
He said it's usually 6 to 12 months, but he said that's for vaccinating people.
00:02:06.000
But then my Browns, you know, I'm following the Browns every day in the offseason.
00:02:14.000
Undrafted free agents, the fucking draft, everything.
00:02:25.000
And the quarterback needs to know as many of those missions as possible.
00:02:34.000
Every player, everybody's doing something different.
00:02:39.000
I'm actually friends with, do you remember there was a Sports Illustrated article on a football coach that was an offensive line coach that was teaching jujitsu to NFL players to help them in the offensive line?
00:03:15.000
I need to talk to him about that because I just met him via text through a friend.
00:03:25.000
And when he retired, he started doing MMA and started doing jiu-jitsu and fell in love with it.
00:03:33.000
He's an assistant offensive line coach for the Browns.
00:03:45.000
Who's going, nah, I don't want to learn that shit?
00:03:56.000
On paper, the Browns look like a playoff contender for sure, on paper.
00:04:00.000
But everyone, you know, it's all about how you execute and how it all gels.
00:04:05.000
But the one constant that we have, we have the best running back in the game, Nick Chubb.
00:04:12.000
You know, we needed some wide receivers, we needed some defensive linemen.
00:04:15.000
We got all new defensive linemen except for Myles Garrett.
00:04:20.000
New defensive coordinator, but we always knew Nick Chubb.
00:04:23.000
We got the best running back in the game, probably ever.
00:04:33.000
Second week, Monday Night Football, his leg fucking broke.
00:04:49.000
I got sad like it was like for two or three days.
00:04:51.000
I was like, oh my god, I spent all this fucking time and now we just lost our best player.
00:04:59.000
But they came back the next week, which was yesterday, and dominated the Titans.
00:05:09.000
I guarantee you that, you know, it used to be that if you got like an ACL injury, you were never coming back to any sport.
00:05:17.000
And now MMA fighters get ACL injuries all the time.
00:05:20.000
And they get rehab and they come back and they're good to go.
00:05:23.000
I guarantee you, in the future, they're gonna be able to regenerate tissue in some wild way where those injuries are just gonna be commonplace.
00:05:35.000
It looks like everything would have ripped, right?
00:05:39.000
But apparently they're saying it was just the MCL. What?
00:05:47.000
They didn't show the replay, and I wouldn't even see it.
00:05:51.000
It's pointed forward, and his body's sideways, and the knee is bent.
00:06:04.000
I'm sure, but right there he looks pretty calm.
00:06:12.000
But the amount of pain he must have been in there.
00:06:34.000
In the NFL, he's known for his work ethic in the weight room.
00:06:43.000
He always puts up videos where he's squatting ridiculous shit.
00:06:56.000
Bro, I watched this guy who was doing that and both his legs exploded.
00:07:04.000
Tom Segura and I... Every day when I wake up in the morning to take a leak and I check my phone, Tom Segura is sending me some fucking horrible video.
00:07:17.000
We got an ongoing thread of me and him, just the worst shit we can find online, we send to each other.
00:07:23.000
And every day I get nervous every time I open up my phone.
00:07:26.000
It's all fucking, it's all like, yeah, I sent him this one today.
00:07:38.000
Have you ever seen more people die than on Instagram lately?
00:07:47.000
I've seen more people get shot, more people get run over by cars, more people get gored by bulls, more people get bit by alligators.
00:08:10.000
I think about that all the time when I'm on the highway.
00:08:12.000
You know, when I come home from the mothership, at nighttime in Texas, that's when all the truck drivers are on the road.
00:08:19.000
And so when I come home, sometimes, like, we're the only car on the road.
00:08:28.000
And one time there was some sort of a traffic thing.
00:08:31.000
So the opposite side of the road, all the traffic was shut down, and it was hundreds of semis.
00:08:48.000
It makes sense, but it's like, one of those fucking dudes is not paying attention, or their fucking Adderall runs out, or whatever, and they fall asleep at the wheel, and you're done, man.
00:08:57.000
You know, a video I just saw was a couple Male and female, like, off to the side of the road on the freeway.
00:09:05.000
And they're like, I don't know, they broke down.
00:09:07.000
And this tire got loose and was coming and rolling down and fucking went right into the chick.
00:09:28.000
Do you see that one lady who was driving on the highway?
00:09:31.000
She was on pills and the cops pulled her over and she had no wheel.
00:09:36.000
Her right passenger side front wheel was gone and she's driving on the brake.
00:09:42.000
So she's got her rotors and it's just sparking.
00:09:57.000
And you gotta think, like, how many people out...
00:10:02.000
How many people are just driving around on pills?
00:10:14.000
I keep seeing that they're still trying to get weed off schedule one.
00:10:25.000
Just make that happen already, because state after state after state is legalizing it, right?
00:10:59.000
But if you sell bongs in Florida, it was drug parnefinalia.
00:11:04.000
And so they threatened his family because it was a family business.
00:11:12.000
And then afterwards, I think they drug tested him for a long time.
00:11:16.000
I think part of the, you know, the conditions of his parole was that they had to randomly drug test him.
00:11:22.000
So he couldn't smoke any weed for a long fucking time.
00:11:33.000
I think Tommy Chong, I want to say he did two years.
00:11:49.000
Yeah, it's pretty wild that in 2023 it's still illegal.
00:11:59.000
It seems like you could just smoke weed anywhere.
00:12:09.000
In the 1970s, if they caught you smoking weed, they'd put you in jail forever.
00:12:16.000
Nine months in federal prison, a fine of $20,000, forfeiture of $103,514, and the loss of all merchandise seized during the raid on his business.
00:12:50.000
It's a slow trickle before things become legal.
00:12:53.000
But I thought the Biden administration, that was a part of their thing that they ran on, that they were going to decriminalize marijuana.
00:13:01.000
Yeah, that's one democratic issue that I'm with.
00:13:09.000
And, you know, in other states, like I believe in Oregon, they've decriminalized mushrooms.
00:13:15.000
What have they done with Oregon with mushrooms?
00:13:17.000
I think Oregon might have decriminalized everything.
00:13:24.000
I think they might have decriminalized literally everything.
00:13:29.000
I think they decriminalized fucking everything.
00:13:36.000
They have a place called the Drugs Store, and you can go in there and buy tested drugs.
00:13:56.000
If I was walking into that drugstore, I was like, you got cocaine?
00:14:18.000
I think it might have been shut down because the owner died from a suspected fentanyl overdose.
00:14:32.000
I bet like some rival drug dealers are like, hey man, fuck you.
00:14:36.000
If he died for fentanyl, I don't think the government would have poisoned him with fentanyl.
00:14:44.000
How could anybody want to do coke knowing that shit's out there?
00:14:52.000
But if you're one of those dudes who's partying, you're doing coke, you're not going, hey, do you guys have a test?
00:15:07.000
It says after parking his 24-foot camper on Main Street between Hastings and Cordova, he made his first test.
00:15:14.000
I mean, it does show people walking in and out of a building, but it might have just been vacant.
00:15:19.000
I was just in Japan, and you don't ever have to worry about any kind of crime in Japan.
00:15:42.000
But I was there for Quintet, and Quintet is a team jujitsu tournament.
00:16:03.000
He doesn't really speak English, so we have a hard time...
00:16:10.000
We just do like jokey stuff whenever I see him.
00:16:16.000
But so Quintet decided to co-promote with K1. You didn't know this?
00:16:23.000
Dude, you're a kickboxing fanatic and you didn't know K1 brought back the heavyweight absolute tournament?
00:16:29.000
I heard they were doing that, but I didn't know they did it.
00:16:46.000
And they asked me because they co-promoted and...
00:16:49.000
It was like in this arena where they had two stages, the K1 stage and the quintet stage, and they kind of merged together, and K1 was during the day.
00:16:58.000
It started like at noon, and then after K1 was done, then it all shifted over here on the side and to the quintet side.
00:17:06.000
Like six or something, but they wanted me, they asked me if I wanted to commentate the heavyweight tournament.
00:17:11.000
I'm like, I know nothing about, the only thing I know about kickboxing is the old-school K-1, like Peter Ertz, I met him, he was there.
00:17:21.000
Yeah, Ray Sifu and all those guys, and Semmy Schilt.
00:17:25.000
The old-school K-1, the classic ones where dudes were getting shut off left and right.
00:17:30.000
And this one was, because apparently they hadn't done the absolute heavyweight tournament that the eight-man one in a while.
00:17:38.000
They've been sticking to K1 Max, like lightweights and middleweights, and they're some bad motherfuckers.
00:17:44.000
So I don't pay attention to kickboxing at all, so I wouldn't even know what K1 Max was.
00:17:52.000
And so they had an eight-man absolute tournament, all new guys.
00:17:58.000
And dude, there was this fucking 6'8 Chinese dude, straight coming out with the CCP flag and everything, looking like Chinese Ivan Drago.
00:18:13.000
Dude, his name is like Say Luz, something like that.
00:18:55.000
And there was a guy from Italy, this guy, they call him the Grizzly Bear.
00:19:01.000
That guy, the Grizzly Bear, had, like, insane power.
00:19:08.000
See if you can find a video of the actual fight, Jamie.
00:19:14.000
You know, I put a post up on Instagram the other day after the Rod Tank fight on 1FC because Matt Brown posted it like, how is Muay Thai not the biggest sport in the world?
00:19:24.000
And you watch this insane fight they had on 1FC. And I was like, I think that has the most untapped potential of all the combat sports because obviously boxing is huge.
00:20:02.000
And it's this war that these guys had in Thailand.
00:20:31.000
I mean, these are two of the very best Muay Thai fighters in the world, and they're fighting with these little tiny MMA gloves on, which is a wild move that 1FC is doing.
00:20:42.000
I mean, everybody who watches MMA, look at that!
00:20:55.000
These guys are cutting each other up with elbows, knees to the body, and they're two elite of the elite in Muay Thai.
00:21:03.000
And they're going to war with the little gloves on, man.
00:21:15.000
When you're watching MMA, sometimes when people clinch, people go, oh...
00:21:28.000
I brought it up with Dana, and I said, dude, I know you guys are into this slap fight thing, but I think, like, the thing that's untapped is kickboxing.
00:21:37.000
And he was like, ah, but nobody liked that, that PK karate.
00:21:42.000
That was literally, they used to call it the kick of the 80s.
00:21:48.000
It just needs to be marketed different because there's always been kickboxing.
00:21:55.000
But it didn't ever reach the heights that it was capable of reaching.
00:22:02.000
So how could they do it to take it to the next level?
00:22:08.000
If they put the UFC promotion machine behind high-level kickboxing and got just fucking, hey, we're gonna sign the biggest fighters in the world.
00:22:33.000
I think he beat all three opponents with leg kicks.
00:22:38.000
So they're trying to reboot it and start a whole new absolute K1. How do you say his name?
00:23:07.000
That second round, I was like, I know these guys.
00:23:21.000
And when I say insane, I mean he's insane good.
00:23:26.000
He is an encyclopedia of boxing and MMA. He knows fucking everything.
00:23:35.000
He used to be the guy for 1FC. I don't know what happened.
00:23:42.000
Yeah, sometimes things happen, but he's a fucking man.
00:23:50.000
As long as it's in tournament form, that's the key, man.
00:23:52.000
That's what got everybody into the UFC, is the tournaments.
00:23:55.000
The UFC should hire Michael Chiavello and do a fucking Muay Thai card.
00:24:12.000
He just thinks that for whatever reason that kickboxing never caught on in America.
00:24:16.000
And I think it's because of that PKA karate shit they have in the 1980s.
00:24:26.000
And there were some great fighters that came out of that.
00:24:32.000
If you look at the fights on 1FC and you look at the fights in, you know, like the classic K1 fights, like, my God, how is that not exciting?
00:24:41.000
And if they have a fight with the little gloves on, like K1 does, or like 1FC does, if Dana decided to get behind that, God, it would be huge.
00:25:07.000
Because tournaments aren't possible in MMA because they say it's too brutal.
00:25:12.000
Well, you remember when we went to see Joe Schilling fight in LA? Yes.
00:25:31.000
I don't remember everybody he fought that night.
00:25:43.000
And the first time I met him, I embarrassed myself.
00:26:22.000
Because that's what I think MMA should have been all along.
00:26:39.000
And one thing it also does is protect your hands.
00:26:45.000
Bare knuckle guys are more cautious about where they hit.
00:26:54.000
I think on paper, bare knuckle is way better than traditional boxing.
00:27:01.000
I mean, if you did a poll and you asked, what would you rather watch?
00:27:08.000
Floyd Mayweather versus Pacquiao 4 or whatever it is, bare knuckle or regular boxing?
00:27:16.000
Well, a lot of people that go over to Bare Knuckle are surprised at, like, how little protection you have and how much it hurts.
00:27:30.000
Fucked up Luke Rockhold in his last fight, made him quit, knocked his teeth out.
00:27:36.000
He's fucking everybody up because he's such an animal.
00:27:39.000
Like if you're tough, and there's not a tougher human being alive than Mike Perry.
00:27:44.000
He's like uniquely suited for bare knuckle fighting.
00:27:58.000
Who do you think that's currently in the UFC is probably going to end up doing great in bare knuckle?
00:28:09.000
He just fought that dude, the Juggernaut, who's the middleweight champion in Bare Knuckle FC, and the Juggernaut beat him.
00:28:24.000
When you're just getting knuckles in your eyeballs and knuckles in your face, it fucking hurts more.
00:28:33.000
You get hit with a knuckle right here, that tooth's gone, son.
00:28:38.000
It helps a little, but really you'd probably need a crazy thick mouth guard.
00:28:45.000
You're getting that bone of a bony-ass knuckle, and it's going right there.
00:28:51.000
Now, K1, they don't allow you to do the plum clench and hold her head and throw multiple knees.
00:29:03.000
One, they allow them to hold the clinch longer?
00:29:16.000
And let them do it with those little gloves too.
00:29:19.000
You know, because the big gloves, the thing about the big gloves is you can offer a shield.
00:29:27.000
You have this big 10-ounce glove, it covers, it's cushioned, and you're fighting like this.
00:29:32.000
Like in Alistair, when Alistair was fighting in K1, they all fought like this.
00:29:36.000
But you can't do that with those little gloves, because the little gloves sneak around.
00:29:40.000
And you can't do that even more so with bare knuckle, because bare knuckle really sneaks around.
00:29:46.000
It'll just slide off the fist right into your face.
00:29:49.000
And Mike Perry has developed a style where he holds his hands real rigid like this.
00:30:03.000
So if you're Luke Rockhold and you're fighting Mike Perry, this is your first bare knuckle fight, you never fought bare knuckle because you certainly aren't fucking training bare knuckle.
00:30:11.000
Like you can train MMA with MMA gloves on, right?
00:30:19.000
So that first experience of getting a knuckle in your eyeball and a knuckle on your nose where your nose gets just fucking splattered all over your face, it's a different experience.
00:30:39.000
Even regular collegiate wrestling is getting bigger.
00:30:45.000
I never really watched wrestling, but now I'm watching.
00:30:48.000
I didn't realize and I wrestled a couple years and I didn't realize how fucking how much it evolved.
00:30:56.000
There's so much There's so much shit in wrestling, dude.
00:31:05.000
Yeah, there's just so many different ways two bodies that are clinched up and mangled up can go and do.
00:31:22.000
Well, you know my favorite shit, combat jiu-jitsu, man.
00:31:26.000
I'm not promoting combat jiu-jitsu because someone has a gun to my head, you know what I mean?
00:31:32.000
I'm trying to create or just take what has worked.
00:31:37.000
Like the 16-man tournament, that's the best shit.
00:31:42.000
That's why everybody got hooked to the UFC. In combat jiu-jitsu, it's great.
00:31:46.000
Because a 16-man tournament is a super fight factory.
00:31:51.000
And you don't have to know any of the fighters.
00:32:00.000
You see him win the first round, and then you go, you're excited now.
00:32:03.000
You just got to pay attention to the first round and accept that you don't know these guys and know that by the time you get to the finals, you're going to know these guys very well.
00:32:11.000
Could you imagine if somebody brought the UFC back Old school.
00:32:17.000
Like, bare knuckle, old school, you could wear a gi, do whatever the fuck you want.
00:32:28.000
Dude, there was a Russian one, and Igor Volchanchin won that one.
00:32:46.000
And he got to the finals against Igor Volchanchin.
00:33:02.000
Igor Vovchanchin looked like he was supposed to be like 6'6".
00:33:21.000
Who was that Brazilian guy that he knocked out cold?
00:33:38.000
And what Igor had, he was a kickboxer with power in his hands.
00:33:48.000
And everybody wanted to take him to the ground.
00:33:58.000
But the thing that Igor had was he didn't really have a wide array of offensive techniques with jiu-jitsu, but he did have a good guard recovery and he keeps you in full guard and survives.
00:34:21.000
Left hook, right hand on the chin, and then as he's going down, bing!
00:34:48.000
That is how they should have MMA. That's how we do combat jiu-jitsu.
00:34:52.000
That's how they should have MMA. And you know that karate combat?
00:35:01.000
And the thing about Igor Vovchanchin is check this out.
00:35:08.000
I'm a purple belt, and I'm commentating for King of the Cage, right?
00:35:14.000
That's when you get soccer kicked to the head, too, in Pride days.
00:35:20.000
And I commentated Pride 10 and 11, and I got to meet Mark Kerr, right?
00:35:37.000
He wrestled in college at a high level, was a specimen.
00:35:44.000
Mark Kerr, that was his nickname, the specimen, and the Smashing Machine.
00:35:51.000
I had Kurt Angle on the podcast the other day, and Kurt was talking about how good Mark Kerr was as a wrestler.
00:35:58.000
And Mark Kerr told me, because I got to hang out with him at Pride 10, and we were hanging out at McDonald's, and we were just fucking shooting the shit.
00:36:06.000
And he said, he told me his whole story, that wrestlers were telling him to do the UFC back in the late 90s.
00:36:16.000
Wrestlers go in there and they just fuck everybody up.
00:36:44.000
I'm gonna go try this thing in Brazil, and if I get fucked up, nobody's gonna know about it, and I'll just dip out.
00:36:50.000
And so he went down there and fucking destroyed.
00:36:58.000
Bare knuckle, valetudo, MMA, old school, in a ring, no cage.
00:37:14.000
And, dude, he was just in his guard the whole time.
00:37:18.000
He was just in his guard in the corner and just head-butting and throwing fucking bare knuckles.
00:37:25.000
And the Brazilians just thought he was a monster.
00:37:28.000
They called him, like, the smashing machine in Portuguese, which is like, maquinade.
00:37:37.000
Anyways, so he said, he goes, after the fight, my hands are all caught up.
00:37:51.000
He was in the hospital with some kind of fucking sickness and shit.
00:37:55.000
And then the promoter taxed him way more than he thought.
00:38:01.000
This was the worst fucking experience of my life.
00:38:06.000
Even though he won, it was the worst experience of his life.
00:38:13.000
But then when he got back, the internet was just...
00:38:19.000
Then he saw the magazine of him on the cover of a magazine looking like a destroyer.
00:38:30.000
Do you remember when he tapped Dan Bobish with a chin to the eye socket?
00:38:43.000
He stuck his chin in Dan Bobich's eye socket and just fucking yanked his back of his head into his fucking eye socket.
00:38:55.000
And I was telling him, and this is what I tell all high-level wrestlers, even low-level wrestlers.
00:39:02.000
If you're a wrestler, you need to approach grappling not In the sense where you want to beat jiu-jitsu.
00:39:20.000
Like kickboxers, you're going to have to take them down, right?
00:39:22.000
Like, when you fight a kickboxer, you're going to have to take him down.
00:39:24.000
You're going to have to learn how to pass the guard.
00:39:26.000
And I would tell them, I'd go, dude, just get really good at passing the guard, holding side control, submissions from side control, mound, have a death mound.
00:39:41.000
And he said, dude, it just takes too much energy, man.
00:39:45.000
I'd rather just sit in the guard and just fucking pound.
00:39:47.000
I'm like, there's gonna be guys that are gonna tie you up and you're not gonna be able to ground and pound.
00:39:53.000
Some people you can, but some guys have a good defensive guard.
00:40:05.000
Head-butted dudes, punched him in the head, in the guard.
00:40:16.000
Two, three, maybe four times during that fight.
00:40:23.000
He's a kickboxer, so little ground and pound strikes aren't going to affect him that much.
00:40:51.000
It looks like they stay like this for the whole time.
00:40:56.000
That's back when Pedro Hizzo, yeah, that's Fabio.
00:41:04.000
Do you remember when Gary Goodrich reached into the Pedro shorts and grabbed his balls and crushed him?
00:41:13.000
Can you find Igor Vovchanchin Mark Kerr from Pride?
00:41:16.000
And you'll see that he was able to take down Igor Vovchanchin Relatively easy, but he couldn't pass his guard and couldn't finish him.
00:41:26.000
And then eventually, after a couple stand-ups, he was tired and he couldn't take him down no more.
00:41:34.000
And then he, I think it was TKO. I'm not too sure what kind of strike it was that ended the fight, but it was a flurry.
00:41:46.000
All the best grapplers, not all of them, but a large percentage of the best jiu-jitsu guys in the US are wrestlers that fell in love with jiu-jitsu and got really good at guard passing, taking backs, mounting.
00:42:05.000
Yeah, there was no way he wanted to stand with Igor.
00:42:22.000
Yeah, I remember he hit him with like a big overhand right and knocked him down.
00:42:26.000
He keeps taking him down, but he can't finish him.
00:42:36.000
He didn't want to develop any guard passing skills.
00:42:38.000
He liked just staying in guard and throwing down.
00:42:43.000
And not only does he have a good guard and he's wrapping him up, but like I said, he's a kickboxer.
00:42:50.000
Like if he had a wrestler like this or a jiu-jitsu guy, they're not...
00:42:54.000
I mean, he did cut them up, but they're not gonna...
00:42:59.000
This was also, this was during the Smashing Machine.
00:43:02.000
And so this was when Mark was already going through his addictions too, man.
00:43:20.000
I talked to Ensign about fighting Igor, and he said it was like getting hit by a car.
00:43:24.000
He goes, like, it's like getting hit by a car over and over and over again.
00:43:33.000
This was back in the 10-minute round days, which I loved.
00:43:39.000
I think the 10-minute first round was a genius idea, because how many guys, like, you know, they just fucking...
00:43:45.000
Look, Mark's trying some sort of an ankle lock.
00:43:51.000
But it's like, how many guys would take a guy down at 4 minutes and 20 seconds, and then the round was over?
00:44:02.000
So, so many guys would in, you know, the UFC, you'd take a guy down in the first round and, you know, you got no time to work.
00:44:13.000
And you work so hard to get him to the ground and then the next round starts and you're standing up.
00:44:23.000
Oh, he hit him with the knee to the head on the ground.
00:44:31.000
What do you think about the idea of starting every round in the same position where you ended the last round?
00:44:41.000
Like, I feel like you should earn your ability to stand up.
00:44:59.000
If you can knee a guy standing up, why can't you knee a guy to the head on the ground?
00:45:04.000
If he's like just hanging on to something, you're hanging on to one knee, you got a knee free, and his head's right there, but that guy can take you down and beat the fuck out of you, why can't you knee him in the head?
00:45:25.000
It seems like there is a controversy of some kind after it, because he was complaining in the hallway.
00:45:31.000
I don't know what they're saying in the video, obviously, but...
00:45:33.000
Yeah, he got hit in, like, the back of the head or something?
00:45:48.000
And then how about Mark Coleman in the heavyweight Grand Prix?
00:45:55.000
I think he fought Igor Vovchanchin in the final.
00:46:05.000
I think Mark Coleman, Igor Vovchanchin, that was in the finals of the Grand Prix.
00:46:18.000
If you can knee a guy standing up, if you can punch a guy in the face and kick a guy in the face, why can't you knee to the head?
00:46:25.000
You can knee to the body, but you can't knee to the head?
00:46:31.000
How many times have a guy, a guy sprawls, and the guy's in a turtle, and it's a perfect position to throw the knee to the head, but you can't do it?
00:46:58.000
You can't go 12-6, which doesn't make any sense.
00:47:09.000
So if you and I are standing and you rush at me and do that and hit me with a 12-6 elbow, that's illegal.
00:47:20.000
He said, I know that this is something that you complain about all the time and we think we're going to be able to get rid of that.
00:47:27.000
It's the dumbest one because it's not even a more powerful elbow.
00:47:31.000
It's just they saw it all came from, Big John McCarthy told me this, that in the early days of MMA they would bring this to the athletic commissions and they said you can't do this because we've seen those karate tournaments where the guys break bricks like that.
00:47:54.000
So it can come from, you know, it can come from 12 to 6, but it can go 1 to 7, which is the dumbest shit of all time.
00:48:07.000
This is the hardest elbow, in my opinion, I believe.
00:48:17.000
If I'm in a ground and pound position, like I've done ground and pound work on a, you know, when you get a heavy weight down, a heavy bag down rather, and I'm trying to see like what I can hit the hardest with.
00:48:26.000
You can hit hard like that, but I can hit him pretty hard like that, fuck him!
00:48:36.000
And it's also a natural movement where your body has developed that sort of explosiveness doing that.
00:48:54.000
Because if guys are doing this and you can go straight down the middle with an elbow, fucking you should be able to do it.
00:49:00.000
Yeah, I mean, I like what Shatri's doing with one.
00:49:12.000
I think there was, I'm not sure, I think maybe they, like you can't stomp on their head anymore.
00:49:21.000
I think if you're in a cage and the back of your head is...
00:49:32.000
Athletes are considered grounded where they have any weight bearing part of their body other than the...
00:49:39.000
This is when Colorado approved new rules for the championship.
00:49:46.000
All hand strikes included punches, forearms, and elbows to the head, body, and leg.
00:49:53.000
So that means Colorado said 12-6 elbow is legal?
00:49:57.000
There was an article from this year that said when they were doing the data review for finding out if they were going to allow knees to the head of a grounded opponent, the 12-6 elbow data was in there.
00:50:06.000
Look, it says kneeing to the head of a grounded opponent is legal.
00:50:21.000
Up kicks to the body and legs to a grounded opponent are legal.
00:50:29.000
Upkick to the head, body, and legs of a non-grounded opponent are legal.
00:50:34.000
So you still can't upkick to a grounded opponent, which means...
00:50:39.000
But that second to the last one says upkicks to the body and legs to a ground...
00:50:43.000
How are you going to upkick a grounded opponent?
00:50:47.000
But upkicks to the body and legs to a grounded opponent are legal.
00:50:56.000
If you're on your back and the guy's on top of you and he's got his knees on the ground, he's grounded, but you can upkick him in the chest.
00:51:02.000
You can upkick him in the chest, so the body and the legs.
00:51:04.000
But upkicks to the head, body, and legs of a non-grounded opponent.
00:51:11.000
So if he's not grounded, he's standing, you can upkick him in the face.
00:51:13.000
I feel like you should be able to upkick a guy to the face if he's on the ground, too.
00:51:26.000
The first one that we saw in a big fight and there was people thinking like, oh, lucky, lucky kick.
00:51:34.000
But then Hanzo was saying, no, dude, we practiced this shit, dog.
00:51:48.000
Bro, guys who are really good kickers, if you get them on their back, they can fuck you up off their back.
00:51:57.000
Yeah, because they don't want you to become slippery.
00:52:00.000
The cut man will apply Vaseline to the facial area.
00:52:06.000
Once you get Vaseline on a face, that Vaseline is fucking everywhere.
00:52:12.000
That's some old boxing shit that needs to be cut out.
00:52:17.000
That's just some boxing bullshit that it's probably good for boxing, I guess, but for MMA, that Vaseline gets everywhere.
00:52:26.000
And as a promoter or producer or someone who owns a fight show, you want as many...
00:52:35.000
Finishes as possible, whether they're knockouts or submissions.
00:52:42.000
That's why in combat jiu-jitsu, we make rash guards mandatory.
00:52:48.000
We don't want two greasy bodies all over the place.
00:52:55.000
Like the complaint that Gordon Ryan had against Nicky Rod.
00:53:07.000
I mean, ultimately, we haven't done it yet, but ultimately, if there's a problem with greasing legs and stuff like that, you have to wear spats.
00:53:22.000
Because other than that, if you tested for greasing, that would be so expensive.
00:53:29.000
The only way you could do it is, as you walk in, they swab your back.
00:53:36.000
But the problem is that's not even going to work.
00:53:45.000
They take a bath in mineral oil and then they dry off.
00:53:50.000
But then once they start sweating, that oil comes out of the pores.
00:53:57.000
But, I mean, when they walk in the cage, they should be warmed up.
00:54:02.000
So they should be sweating, so you might be able to...
00:54:05.000
Maybe take a big glove that is made out of swab material and just go down the back like that.
00:54:19.000
I don't even know if this is real, but you know how when people pee in the pool and they have something that shows the pee and you can see it all blue?
00:54:39.000
Is there a chemical you could put to show when you're peeing in a pool?
00:54:44.000
Because there was a video that I saw that looked really fake.
00:54:47.000
It was a bunch of girls that were in a pool together, and then one girl, like you see all this pee coming out, like this blues, everyone's like, oh my god, you dirty bitch!
00:54:56.000
And they run away from her because she's peeing in the pool.
00:55:04.000
You put a chemical in the pool, and when you pee, it turns blue.
00:55:08.000
Urine indicator dye is a mythical substance that is supposed to be able to react with urine in a form of colored cloud in a swimming pool or hot tub.
00:55:17.000
That's indicating the location of people who are urinating.
00:55:30.000
I mean, you imagine how much of that stuff you'd have to put in the water and then that stuff's in your eyes.
00:55:35.000
But think about how toxic just a regular swimming pool is.
00:55:41.000
Bro, you know what we played the other day on Protect Our Parks?
00:55:46.000
We were trying to figure out why is there fluoride in water?
00:55:51.000
There's no reason for fluoride to be in drinking water.
00:55:58.000
And they literally open up bags of fluoride and dump it into the local drinking water.
00:56:07.000
Not only that, we played it on Protect Our Parks.
00:56:11.000
There's a direct correlation between high levels of fluoride in drinking water and low IQs.
00:56:18.000
Why would they open up sacks of fluoride and put it in the water?
00:56:25.000
Because you got fluoride and you're trying to sell that shit.
00:56:28.000
Imagine if you're in the fluoride business and you're hearing us talking like, shut the fuck up!
00:56:33.000
Because if people stop drinking or putting fluoride in drinking water.
00:56:37.000
And the official reason, and I don't know, this might be bullshit.
00:56:42.000
Yeah, they're trying to take care of our teeth.
00:56:48.000
That's like, if some people are getting skin cancer, oh, we're going to put sunscreen in apples.
00:57:01.000
You're sending fucking shipments, like those shipping containers filled with fluoride and these sacks that you open them up.
00:57:28.000
By the way, who doesn't brush their fucking teeth?
00:57:30.000
Dude, I didn't go to the dentist for 10 fucking years.
00:57:42.000
I also eat very little sugar, and I brush my fucking teeth.
00:57:50.000
For the first time, when I first started wearing it, Trey The Truth was on the podcast, and he wears a grill.
00:57:56.000
And I was like, bro, how do you wear that grill and talk?
00:58:01.000
The first time I wore it on a podcast, I had to not wear it.
00:58:07.000
I looked at your teeth and I'm like, damn, it looks like he has a visit line.
00:58:17.000
And my doctor said it would probably help my sleep apnea.
00:58:26.000
I was saying that I shaved my beard before I got here today because I look too old.
00:58:31.000
I did a music video the other day, so I grew up my beard because I played a coyote.
00:58:55.000
You remember when Evan Tanner died and I grew that full beard?
00:59:06.000
When he died, it was when I was living in Colorado.
00:59:21.000
And back in the day, not that many UFC fighters that were non-Brazilian had good jiu-jitsu.
00:59:32.000
You remember when he won the middleweight title and he fought Dave Terrell?
00:59:36.000
Dave Terrell caught him in a guillotine and almost fucking had him.
00:59:39.000
And he gassed out and Evan Tanner pounded him out.
00:59:58.000
And Dave Terrell was one of the, I mean, he was one of the first pure no-gi pioneers.
01:00:05.000
You know, there's Chris Brennan, there was Dave Terrell, Eric Paulson.
01:00:11.000
Yeah, there was like maybe four guys that got their black belt in the gi that decided to go no gi.
01:00:25.000
Bro, you've been paying attention to Jeff Monson?
01:00:46.000
He's got a fucking CCP. He's got a hammer and sickle tattoo.
01:01:00.000
See if you can go to a video where he's talking in Russian, because there's a lot on his Instagram where he's talking in Russian.
01:01:31.000
I hope we didn't let him say anything horrible.
01:02:01.000
Well, you know that guy, Purgosian, who tried to make a coup against Putin, and he just died in a plane crash?
01:02:11.000
The guy who, like, they were literally headed towards Moscow.
01:02:15.000
Headed towards Moscow, and then they pull back at the last minute, and Putin's like, yeah, bro, I'll see you in a little bit.
01:02:24.000
There's a video of his plane in the sky, and it's like on fire in the sky.
01:02:35.000
But, like, Soviet Union was communist, and then the Soviet Union fell.
01:02:39.000
Like, the history of the Soviet Union and today's Russia is really confusing to me.
01:02:46.000
I don't know what to believe with anything, like, in regards to history, like...
01:02:50.000
Man, it's just like, what is real and what's not?
01:02:54.000
I'm just like, okay, let's just see how everything plays out.
01:02:56.000
But Soviet Union fell, so I thought like Russia is claiming like democratic socialism or something.
01:03:06.000
But Putin is basically running it because Putin was the president of Russia or whatever, you know, whatever they call it over there.
01:03:14.000
And then he stepped down and then his main guy took over and then Putin's like, fuck this, I'm taking over again.
01:03:22.000
And now he's running it and he's been running Russia.
01:03:30.000
When was his second term as president of Russia?
01:03:35.000
Do you know who also has a fucking Soviet passport or Russian passport?
01:03:52.000
They love, like, you know, elite combat sports athletes, and Roy Jones Jr. in his prime was the fucking man.
01:04:01.000
When you talk about the all-time greats, you can, in his prime, he may have, I would say he's the best technician ever.
01:04:11.000
One of the best athletes that's ever competed in boxing.
01:04:15.000
Think about that one round he had with Vinny Pazienza where only round in...
01:04:22.000
Yeah, in CompuBox history where Vinny Pazienza couldn't land a punch.
01:04:39.000
Putin has been Russia's most powerful politician since he assumed the presidency in 2000 after resignation of his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin.
01:04:48.000
But he stepped down for a while and then came back again, though.
01:04:55.000
If he still remains in power until 2036, his tenure will surpass even that of Joseph Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union for 29 years.
01:05:03.000
We're supposed to have six-year terms, but he created a new law that can allow that term limit to reset.
01:05:17.000
When Trump made it into office, he's like, he's never getting out of there.
01:05:24.000
I remember Chris Rock was saying that on stage.
01:05:27.000
You know that guy Yuri Bezmenov that you bring up every now and then?
01:05:36.000
If that shit's real and it seems like it's real, then does that mean Russia is responsible for all our shit?
01:05:46.000
What a crazy prediction that we would lose all faith in our democratic process and that the children from the universities will all adapt Marxist-Leninist philosophy.
01:05:58.000
I mean, how many people are young kids that consider themselves Marxists?
01:06:10.000
Well, I think both of those countries are very clever.
01:06:17.000
One of the things that China does is they buy up corporations.
01:06:20.000
Someone showed me a list of all these corporations that are run by China.
01:06:53.000
And if Yuri Bezmenov, if he's right, He's basically saying that Russia has put...
01:07:02.000
We're under some kind of like 20-year Russian infiltration ideological subversion plan or something like that.
01:07:09.000
What he was basically saying was that they have this very long game approach.
01:07:18.000
We try to do things quickly and we think about short term.
01:07:22.000
Whereas in Russia, they think about things very long.
01:07:32.000
Because they lost so many people in so many wars.
01:07:37.000
I mean, if it wasn't for Russia, Russia holding off the Nazis, Russia helped us win World War II in a giant way, in a fucking giant way.
01:07:54.000
The one battle that Shane Gillis brought up during the podcast, like Shane Gillis is a gigantic history buff, and he brought up this one battle where Russia lost some fucking insane amount of people holding off the Nazis.
01:08:16.000
That was one of the things that people always said about Russia.
01:08:21.000
And they so outnumber men because so many men died.
01:08:29.000
So for the longest time, it was like this overabundance of these hot Russian women.
01:08:34.000
And how many of them came over and became spies?
01:08:42.000
It's like, I don't know what to believe anymore, dawg.
01:08:50.000
There's a Great Awakening and there's a Great Reset.
01:09:01.000
Sometimes I feel like the Great Awakening is winning and then sometimes I feel like the Great Reset is winning.
01:09:07.000
All this fighting that we're doing, we're fighting over dumb shit all the time.
01:09:14.000
Meanwhile, this new world order is like digital currency.
01:09:33.000
Like, there's our politicians here, you know, the ones that we see, the ones that are on TV, and then whatever's above them, the guys we don't see, maybe they just want to just destroy America.
01:09:46.000
How do we make it— I think what they want is control.
01:09:49.000
They want control the way that China has control, the way that Russia has control.
01:09:54.000
And there's so much freedom in America in terms of freedom of speech and freedom to do whatever you want.
01:10:01.000
It's like on the surface, we see the left fighting with the right, right?
01:10:12.000
The only way we're going to have a military regime, like the controllers, they want as much of a military regime as possible.
01:10:20.000
Maybe disguise it so we don't think we're under.
01:10:27.000
Not the easiest, but the best way is you gotta make the people embrace the military, right?
01:10:44.000
Are we being tricked into embracing the military?
01:10:48.000
Like, I don't know which way this shit's going.
01:10:52.000
Like, all the stuff that Biden is doing, it's like...
01:11:04.000
And then they're talking about Michelle Obama running.
01:11:12.000
You don't think Michelle Obama has a better chance?
01:11:21.000
It seems like Gavin Newsom wants to be president.
01:11:31.000
He'd be so much better than Biden as a president.
01:11:41.000
He's trying to figure out how to remove these homeless encampments in California, but there's laws against it.
01:11:46.000
There's laws that prevent you from pushing those people out.
01:11:58.000
We've had, like, probably 14 days over 100 degrees.
01:12:03.000
And y'alls out here and in Florida, you guys are, like, six months of just death.
01:12:10.000
And don't say you like it, because if you like it, turn your air conditioner on and tell them how much you like it.
01:12:14.000
Everybody says they like it, as long as they're in air-conditioned facilities.
01:12:19.000
When it's 100 degrees outside in California, you want to be...
01:12:34.000
But during the height of all the BS, man, it was so scary on the 101. The homeless just...
01:12:45.000
So if you're in rush hour on the 101, it's like Mad Max, dog.
01:12:51.000
You're like, you're just sitting there and there's all these people around you just living and camped out on the freeway.
01:12:57.000
Bro, if they just got rid of that, if they just eliminated the homeless encampments, find shelter for these people, get them counseling, that's A. That's number one.
01:13:19.000
They should clean it up, clean it up, like all the way.
01:13:23.000
I drive in downtown all the time, and there's a certain bridge that I drive under, and it's always...
01:13:35.000
Yeah, they have electricity, they're tapping on lines.
01:13:39.000
I don't know if they cleaned it out everywhere, but in my path where I see them, they're doing something about the homeless.
01:13:49.000
You gotta eliminate these fucking crazy DAs that take these violent fucking people that shoot people and assault people and rob things.
01:14:09.000
Down the street from my old podcast studio at the Topanga Mall, they fucking smashed into the Nordstrom.
01:14:24.000
If he can clean that up, if he can refund the police, clean that up, make LA safe, like 2016 safe...
01:14:37.000
He could get a lot of people's vote for president.
01:14:42.000
Like, the California taxes are like, what the fuck are we doing over here?
01:14:54.000
I don't want to pay too much taxes, but people think I moved here to not pay taxes.
01:14:59.000
If L.A. was the same L.A. from 2015, I'd still be in L.A. 100%.
01:15:14.000
But they just got too crazy during the pandemic.
01:15:18.000
They just got too crazy with shutting down businesses.
01:15:21.000
They got too crazy with telling people what they can do and what they can't do.
01:15:24.000
Too crazy with mandating vaccines for kids to go to school.
01:15:31.000
If they didn't do that, I don't mind paying the taxes, man.
01:15:38.000
I'm wealthy and it shouldn't affect me as much as it does other people.
01:15:43.000
But I'm saying that, like, if it was worth it, if you got something out of it, if there's something you get from it, where it's like, it's worth that 14%.
01:15:57.000
If you make $100,000 a year, you have to pay $14,000 to the fucking government.
01:16:13.000
If you make a hundred grand, now you make ninety-six.
01:16:24.000
But if it was worth it, And then they got this mansion tax.
01:16:37.000
If you have a house and it's worth a certain amount of money, I don't know who pays it, whether it's the buyer or the seller.
01:16:45.000
But there's a tax that gets slapped onto it, like if it's worth X amount of money.
01:17:03.000
When Jamie comments on Shane Gillis' Instagram, Shane deletes it.
01:17:19.000
Yeah, I thought Instagram was thinking I was bullying him.
01:17:26.000
Yeah, they scored in the last play of the game.
01:17:41.000
That's all I've understood about this whole thing.
01:17:44.000
Dude, you spend all week thinking about this game Sunday, and then you play like shit, and you waste three, four hours watching this motherfucker.
01:17:54.000
I get it now after I went to that game, and I saw how hyped people get in Dallas.
01:18:06.000
They lost last night and the Cowboys fans are so pissed about it.
01:18:13.000
If you win, oh my god, we have a chance to make it to the playoffs.
01:18:18.000
There's a lot of shit talking going on in football.
01:18:20.000
I can get into it a little bit, but I don't have the time to really get into it.
01:18:24.000
I'm into it because I've always been into it, but it's also...
01:18:30.000
Like empires, they like the circus and the distraction.
01:18:35.000
It's meant to distract you from what's really going on, and it gets you to not pay attention to what...
01:18:43.000
The government's doing to you and all that shit.
01:18:45.000
That might have been why it was initially created.
01:18:47.000
But right now, it exists as a beautiful form of entertainment that makes people's lives happen.
01:18:54.000
Because I'm like, you can't be Captain Conspiracy all day.
01:18:57.000
I like watching music documentaries and football.
01:19:23.000
And one year it'll happen in the United States.
01:19:37.000
So if you and I were playing, so if you're playing nine ball.
01:19:41.000
Which means you have to make the one, then you have to make the two, and then when you make the nine you win.
01:19:46.000
So if you and I were on a team, you would make the one ball, but you'd play a position for me to make the two ball.
01:19:51.000
Then I would make the two ball, and then you would make the three ball.
01:20:05.000
Shane Van Boning is a dude from South Dakota who's deaf and he turns his hearing aid off when he plays.
01:20:23.000
He beat this dude in this tournament he played last week.
01:20:26.000
He beat this dude 10 to nothing and he ran nine racks.
01:20:48.000
And also, like, getting a shot on the one after the break.
01:20:51.000
Like, what are the odds you're going to get a shot in the one?
01:21:05.000
Sometimes if you hit it too hard, the balls scatter too much and you don't have control.
01:21:12.000
You will make like the one ball on the side and the two ball likely will bounce out and get a shot.
01:21:17.000
And this motherfucker ran seven racks in a row in a big tournament against the best players in the world.
01:21:23.000
And then he ran two more racks and then he fucking won the game.
01:21:32.000
Is it random or is there certain countries that produce good football players?
01:21:38.000
Huge fan of the guys from China and the guys from the Philippines.
01:21:45.000
There's these two brothers out of Taiwan, the Ko brothers.
01:21:55.000
It's funny watching them play because they have the same kind of style.
01:21:59.000
They had to fight in the finals of, I think it was the Brown Belt Gi Worlds.
01:22:23.000
That's another thing I love about 1FC. They mix it all up.
01:22:25.000
They got Michael Simechi over there, and I love it.
01:22:30.000
Shatree invited me to that Denver show, the first US show.
01:22:37.000
It was just a mix of kickboxing, MMA, grappling.
01:22:41.000
And the grapplers came out with like, you know, they look like superstars.
01:22:45.000
Like the Rutolo brothers, Mikey Musa, they're superstars.
01:22:48.000
What I love about Chautry and what he's doing with 1FC is they're embracing all the aspects of martial arts.
01:22:58.000
They have real fucking elite level MMA. It's fucking great.
01:23:05.000
So they have kickboxing, which is no elbows, you know, no clinch.
01:23:19.000
You can go knees, but you can't clinch and throw knees the way everybody else does.
01:23:32.000
K1 does not allow elbows, but they do allow a brief clinch.
01:23:36.000
Yep, a brief clinch, one knee, one knee from the clinch.
01:23:40.000
You can't hold on like Anderson Silva did with Rich Franklin.
01:23:45.000
Remember when Anderson Silva got that plum on Rich Franklin and just destroyed him?
01:23:55.000
The interesting thing about, or one of the interesting things about Anderson Silva, there's so many, but he was like middle of the road for a while.
01:24:03.000
He was just one of those dudes from Shootbox coming up.
01:24:29.000
He threw that crazy flying scissor takedown to a heel hook, which is like, that's pro wrestling.
01:24:51.000
So this was Anderson before he went to Cage Rage.
01:24:56.000
And when he went to Cage Rage, that's when he became the fucking man.
01:25:23.000
That move, by the way, is illegal in my tournament.
01:25:32.000
I witnessed right in front of my face a leg getting destroyed, and I'm like, okay, that is banned.
01:25:41.000
You know, one of my students just did that move that you just saw and he landed on the shin and it fucking snapped, man.
01:26:00.000
Craig Jones did some crazy behind the back toehold thing.
01:26:18.000
We got to the finals against B Team, and Craig Jones just too much, you know?
01:26:32.000
Maybe something got cracked, but he didn't tell me.
01:26:41.000
If it pops on the outside, there's nothing you can really do.
01:26:50.000
I've had my ankle pop many times, and then it's sore and tender for a long time.
01:26:56.000
I had my ankle pop once, and it swole up, and then the whole thing was black.
01:27:02.000
I was like, oh my god, I'm never going to throw a kick again.
01:27:24.000
His left hand on one side of Richie's leg and his right hand in between the legs with a toe.
01:27:28.000
You couldn't really see it in that angle, but I never really seen that before.
01:27:36.000
Do you remember when Craig Jones had that match with Vinny Magalese and he broke his ankle?
01:27:51.000
Because Craig tried to tell him, hey, it's broke.
01:28:04.000
Vinny was one of the first leg lock pioneers in ADCC. People forget about that.
01:28:10.000
He won the whole thing, I think, in 2007 or 2009 or something.
01:28:16.000
And he was heel-hooking the shit out of people.
01:28:27.000
Do you remember when Vinny did a flying arm bar on Pedepano?
01:28:55.000
And to see a guy do that on a world champion at that high a level and to catch it, it was picture perfect.
01:29:04.000
Yeah, and what I was saying about Anderson Silva was he didn't come out as the baddest motherfucker on the planet right away.
01:29:29.000
Lee Murray was a real gangster who could fight.
01:29:34.000
He wound up being part of the crew that committed the biggest armed robbery in the history of the UK. They had a movie like Heat.
01:29:46.000
Full face masks on and goggles and fucking tactical equipment and bulletproof vests.
01:30:03.000
In the fucking criminal world, those guys aren't real good at shutting the fuck up.
01:30:10.000
If you're doing something like that, you got friends.
01:30:13.000
And you're telling your friends, and those friends are probably going to get arrested.
01:30:15.000
And then they're going to fucking, hey, I know some shit.
01:30:23.000
I don't know how to spell the other guy's name.
01:30:24.000
P.E. P.E. D.E. P [...].E I believe in the game.
01:30:49.000
I know it's locked behind the play wall there, though.
01:31:38.000
You want to see Vinny Magalhães doing it to him.
01:31:54.000
This is not the best way to look for this stuff.
01:31:59.000
It's on the Flow Grappling page and it's behind a paywall and that's the only clip that I can find.
01:32:14.000
Dude, coffee and beer just make me want to piss all the time, dude.
01:32:25.000
But what was another video that we were trying to find?
01:32:30.000
Another great ADCC classic moment was when Davi Ramos.
01:32:47.000
I had a feeling he was going to smoke everybody once he got to the ground.
01:32:51.000
Because I just felt like, how are you going to stop that guy?
01:32:57.000
It is so hard to make the transition to the UFC. It's so hard.
01:33:06.000
It's almost, it's like striking and wrestling because every fight, every round starts on your feet.
01:33:15.000
In the early days, you can get away with just being really good at jiu-jitsu and getting a clinch and dragging the fight to the ground, but...
01:33:37.000
He got to the finals of the Abu Dhabi I was in, 2003. He was 17 and got to the finals against Leo Vieira.
01:33:53.000
If he would have been a little more striking, if he would have been a better striker, he is his jiu-jitsu man.
01:34:08.000
He was all about squeezing and clinching and smashing.
01:34:14.000
Hickson took him under his wing for a little bit.
01:34:23.000
Yeah, not all jujitsu champions coming from the Gi.
01:34:30.000
Some of them are really good at collar chokes, you know what I mean?
01:34:37.000
They get a hand in your collar, man, you're going to sleep.
01:34:40.000
Remember when Murillo Bustamante had a tap Matt Lindland twice?
01:34:46.000
Marillo Bustamante was the one who upkicked Jerry Bolander.
01:34:57.000
I get the names mixed up, but I'm pretty sure it was Bustamante.
01:35:00.000
How about when he tapped out Matt Lennon twice?
01:35:16.000
And then they didn't have instant replay back then.
01:35:26.000
And I think they went a whole round after that.
01:35:29.000
And then the next round, Marillo caught him in a guillotine.
01:35:37.000
When I was in, I commentated for a show called Too Hot to Handle in Amsterdam.
01:35:51.000
That guy, he was the one in Pride 10 that threw one strike against Gary Goodrich, one strike, one head kick, and he went down.
01:36:31.000
Right as he was going down, he was already extending the arm.
01:36:53.000
To do that to a guy that high level, I mean, that's fucking incredible.
01:36:57.000
See if you could find Davi Ramos, ADCC 2015 flying armbar.
01:37:05.000
I mean, it's different than this one, but it's equally impressive, I think.
01:37:31.000
And Davi Ramos, he's one of those Brazilians, one of the first Brazilians that came out with high-level leg locks.
01:37:42.000
There's a couple out there that came up that people forgot about.
01:37:46.000
And do you remember when Alan Belcher fought Rusamar Pajaras?
01:37:51.000
Rusamar Pajaras was probably the most feared Brazilian leg locker ever.
01:37:58.000
He's looking like Ken Shamrock in his prime, you know?
01:38:08.000
So Alan brought in Davey Ramos, Davi Ramos, and Dean Lister.
01:38:14.000
For his training camp, and he had him out there for a month.
01:38:18.000
And Ellen Belcher told me, he goes, those dudes are fucking me up.
01:38:22.000
Dean Lister and Davi Ramos with leg locks just over and over.
01:38:25.000
But after a while, I started slowing them down, started countering, started defending, started pulling out.
01:38:31.000
And by the time that UFC match against Russo Malpaharis came around, that was one of the greatest UFC fights of all time.
01:38:42.000
But first, Alan Belcher pulls him into a fucking twister, dude.
01:38:54.000
He just transitions that into the truck, and he almost twisters him.
01:38:59.000
Dude gets out, and then he's all over Alan Belcher's legs.
01:39:03.000
He's all over those legs, and Alan's just defending, defending, pulling out, defending...
01:39:10.000
And then he finally got out and fucking ground and pounded his way to the stoppage.
01:39:15.000
Alan Belcher is a heavyweight bare-knuckle fighter now.
01:39:23.000
He relinquished his title so he could fight for Jorge Masvidal.
01:39:33.000
And the winner of that is now going to fight Junior Dos Santos.
01:39:54.000
And then the winner of that is going to fight Junior Dos Santos.
01:40:09.000
Dude, that one is 100% just violence the whole way through.
01:40:18.000
And I remember after that, I'm like, dude, you got to put out a fucking leg lock defense.
01:40:26.000
He's going to grab a single and he's going to go right into the truck.
01:40:36.000
He looks so different now because now he doesn't cut any weight.
01:41:05.000
Would that have been the first twister in MMA or had the Korean comedy?
01:41:08.000
No, that would have been the first one, I think.
01:41:11.000
I could be wrong, but I think this is the first one.
01:41:58.000
Now, this is where all the leg lock defense comes into play here.
01:42:27.000
This looks like someone filmed it from the TV. 100%.
01:42:31.000
Remember those old days where you'd buy movies that were like VHS tapes where someone set up a camera in the back of the movie theater?
01:42:43.000
And Husamar must have been like, what the fuck is going on?
01:42:48.000
And this happened way before the leg lock revolution, man.
01:42:57.000
Fox 3. I would say this is 2008, 2009. UFC on Fox 3. Look at that.
01:43:04.000
He's got so many looks on his legs and they're steep.
01:43:15.000
So many people were so terrified of Paul Harris when he grabbed your leg.
01:43:26.000
If he got a hold of your fucking heel, he would tear that shit down and shred it.
01:43:32.000
Whose fucking knee did he fuck up where he didn't let go?
01:43:36.000
And then he got kicked out of the UFC. I forget that one.
01:43:41.000
They were like, bro, you gotta fucking let people go when they tap.
01:43:46.000
He's the only guy to ever get kicked out of the UFC for a win.
01:44:10.000
I'm like, man, I had so many chances on his legs.
01:44:20.000
Now, I want you to Google Alan Belcher bare-knuckle boxing.
01:45:21.000
They're gonna fight in Jorge Masvidal's, which I fucking loved.
01:45:28.000
Or, not premiere event, he's had a couple of them.
01:45:31.000
But the last one he did with Junior Dos Santos and Fabrizio Verdum.
01:45:53.000
It was mostly Fabricio Verdum just getting punched in the face.
01:45:57.000
He just, like, Junior, with that boxing, that style that he has, he slices you with those punches.
01:46:05.000
And Fabricio got a really nasty cut over one of his eyes.
01:46:09.000
At the end of it, he's, like, really jacked up.
01:46:13.000
I'm in full support of Masvidal's organization.
01:46:21.000
So they're gonna have that Roy, Big Country, Nelson fight, and then the other one.
01:46:32.000
I'm not sure it's in Miami, but it's somewhere in Florida.
01:46:36.000
Masvidal reached out, and I said, fuck yeah, dude.
01:46:42.000
And like, you know, Fabrice Verdun was in there.
01:46:45.000
That guy, that guy's a legend, you know, a jujitsu legend, MMA legend.
01:46:50.000
And he, like Anderson Silva, in the beginning, you know, he was, you know, he was like middle of the road.
01:46:56.000
He wasn't, he was a jujitsu champion, didn't really have that good striking.
01:46:59.000
I think he fought in dream, maybe, maybe pride.
01:47:02.000
And he was like up and coming, big Brazilian, Amazing jujitsu, but his striking hadn't come together.
01:47:08.000
And then a lot of jujitsu black belts and a lot of jujitsu champions, they'll dip into MMA a little bit, then they realize, you know what?
01:47:18.000
I'll just have a school and just make money with my school, and that's fine.
01:47:22.000
But some stay, and they just tough it out, and they just keep going, and they keep going.
01:47:28.000
Anderson Silva, his jiu-jitsu wasn't that good, but he kept going, and then his jiu-jitsu got good.
01:47:35.000
He kept going, and then he turned into a legit striker, knocking out people with head kicks.
01:47:43.000
How about, let's look at Anderson Silva versus Dan Henderson.
01:47:52.000
That's Anderson, top of the food chain, apex predator, perhaps the greatest 185 pounder that's ever lived.
01:48:01.000
When he was on, man, you know, and Dan Henderson just is an animal.
01:48:11.000
But this was Anderson Silva when he was in The Matrix.
01:48:14.000
When he would just stand out and bow to everybody, this is a great fucking fight, man.
01:48:18.000
Because Dan Henderson was so fucking dangerous.
01:48:27.000
Dan Henderson, like if you touch him, he's like made out of wood.
01:48:35.000
And he's just such an elite fucking wrestler, too.
01:48:41.000
And so Anderson just kind of timed him up a little bit.
01:48:46.000
He would spend the beginning of the round just kind of moving around, looking to see how you move, putting it all in that computer, and then towards the end of the round, Anderson would start opening up.
01:49:00.000
And once he started opening up, man, he was fucking lethal.
01:49:02.000
Because you had to close the distance on him because Anderson was a counter-striker.
01:49:08.000
And when you lead, you're running into fucking the biggest buzzsaw that ever existed in this division.
01:49:31.000
Yeah, he's almost in half guard, or it's almost in side control.
01:49:34.000
Anybody Dan Henderson touches with that right hand, nobody survived that shit.
01:49:40.000
He's a wrestler with a fucking Mike Tyson right hand.
01:49:44.000
Do you remember his knockout of Vanderlei in the rematch?
01:49:53.000
Now this is Anderson when he's got his groove, right?
01:50:35.000
Man, it's weird how they're cutting out the takedowns.
01:50:38.000
It's very important how the fight got to the ground.
01:50:40.000
But the fact that he's on top right here, that's fucking, like, what?
01:50:49.000
At a certain point in time in his career, he really became an elite grappler.
01:50:52.000
I mean, the Minotaur brothers gave him his black belt, right?
01:50:58.000
Didn't they give it to him after he submitted Chael?
01:51:33.000
Do you remember the early days where you and I would go to these events or we'd watch and go, you know what they need?
01:51:39.000
They need some billionaires with some crazy deep pockets to buy the UFC and throw a ton of money at it.
01:51:54.000
It takes someone with money to burn that has vision.
01:51:59.000
Okay, we're going to burn some money right now, but eventually it's going to come back to us a thousandfold.
01:52:06.000
Especially when they knew that the product was so good.
01:52:09.000
I mean, there was no denying that the UFC was exciting.
01:52:12.000
People that are just getting into MMA now, you gotta go back and go through the timeline.
01:52:21.000
No one really knew what UFC 1 was about because there was no B-roll.
01:52:25.000
I remember thinking, oh, that's some pro wrestling.
01:52:32.000
And then the UFC 2 comes along and goes, okay, let me watch this shit.
01:52:36.000
And it's a 16-man tournament, and I was doing karate at the time, and I remember watching Hoist beat Minoki Ichihara, and it fucking crushed me.
01:52:50.000
But by the time he got to the finals, man, I was a big fan.
01:52:54.000
You could take people, you could fight on the ground and you're not considered a pussy?
01:52:57.000
Because I would fight on the ground because I wrestled in high school and I'd just take a dude down.
01:53:02.000
I remember when I first met you, you would wear the fucking scuba gear on your head because you had long ass hair.
01:53:10.000
She'd wear like scuba gear and you would close it off with ear guards and you would toehold everybody.
01:53:15.000
I would wear a Jacques Cousteau headgear to put all my hair in, and then I would put the wrestling ear guards over it just to disguise it, just so it doesn't look like I'm a Jacques Cousteau.
01:53:32.000
I remember when I first met you, you were toeholding everybody.
01:53:39.000
I learned it from some instructional video of him in jeans.
01:53:42.000
He has no shirt, looking like a Chippendales dancer, jeans on, and he's doing a toehold with some Japanese guy because he was all pancrased out.
01:53:55.000
And I was always on the bottom playing half guard.
01:53:57.000
I'm like, I wonder if I could do it from half guard.
01:53:59.000
So I started doing toeholds from half guard a lot.
01:54:04.000
In today's game, there's some guys that just got that toehold down.
01:54:09.000
When Nicky Rod got Gordon in it and popped his ankle, that was nasty.
01:54:17.000
You just got to know how to use your whole body to twist that foot off.
01:54:20.000
Also, that'll fuck your ankle up for a long time.
01:54:27.000
Because it just tears that, like, if it pops, it's like the outside of your foot, like right under that little ankle ball thing.
01:54:34.000
There's like this meat under there that's going to be...
01:54:48.000
Ankle surgery only happens when you break bones, like the ankle bones, all the little ligaments.
01:54:54.000
There's so many little ones that you just kind of just leave it alone.
01:55:03.000
And he broke his ankle and didn't do shit about it.
01:55:09.000
And one of his ankles is like twice the size of a regular ankle.
01:55:38.000
You look at it and you go, what the fuck, dude?
01:55:46.000
He gets in the sauna at 200 degrees, 200 plus, and he gets on an air dye machine with oven mitts on.
01:55:53.000
And he does fucking sprints in the sauna at like 200 degrees.
01:56:17.000
When those things come crashing down on you, you fucking plummet to the bottom with a million pounds of water on top of you and you get knocked unconscious.
01:56:28.000
Guys get driven by the weight of the water right into the rocks.
01:56:35.000
Did you see that fucking lady that they found in a 13-foot alligator's mouth in Florida?
01:56:47.000
My sister sent it to me because it's down near where she lives.
01:56:50.000
They fucking found some alligator just dragging a lady.
01:56:55.000
How about that shark in Egypt that attacked that man?
01:57:01.000
It seems like it's happening more often now, right?
01:57:05.000
But that one, we haven't confirmed whether or not this is true, but what I had heard was that off the coast of this resort, Yeah.
01:57:32.000
People are like, oh, fucking, let's go for a swim.
01:57:45.000
I don't know if it's the exact same area, but it might be.
01:57:56.000
Yeah, why are dead sheep washing up on Egypt shores?
01:57:59.000
That's from 2017. So 2010, and then again in 2017, yeah, probably.
01:58:05.000
Yeah, it says similar to what happened in Charm Mall.
01:58:09.000
Yeah, it says down there, 2022, animal carcass dropped to the sea near that place.
01:58:21.000
Hey, by the way, They dump a lot of bloody carcasses in that water.
01:58:29.000
And that right there just scares you out the goddamn ocean.
01:58:52.000
It works because I will never go deep sea diving, ever.
01:58:59.000
I ain't going into jungles, and I ain't going deep sea diving.
01:59:10.000
I had Paul Rosely on my podcast and he's a dude that he spends a large amount of time saving the rainforest.
01:59:19.000
He goes down to the Amazon and he's like saving the rainforest from people that are cutting it down.
01:59:25.000
And what he does is these loggers are just poor, man.
01:59:27.000
You know, they're not trying to destroy the world.
01:59:32.000
And so what he does is he gets them hired to protect the rainforest.
01:59:36.000
So he gets the same people say, hey man, this job, what's this job paying you?
01:59:41.000
How about we give you more money and you protect the rainforest?
01:59:46.000
So he hires these guys to do the opposite of what they were doing.
01:59:49.000
And they've protected millions of acres of rainforests just doing this.
01:59:53.000
But this dude, he told me he jumped on an anaconda because they were trying to find out how big it is.
02:00:13.000
It was slithering through the water, and he felt it slither and it's dark out, and he tried to hold on to it.
02:00:26.000
Yeah, the jungle scared the shit out of me, man.
02:00:29.000
I like watching them on TV. I like watching Amazon River documentaries and Congo documentaries, but I will never go into another jungle in my life.
02:00:49.000
Every now and then when a leopard fucking takes them out, it feels good.
02:00:58.000
This fucking cat swimming through the water eating crocodiles.
02:01:07.000
But this one, this fucking, this jaguar is carrying a crocodile bigger than him.
02:01:13.000
He's got it by the back of its neck and he's waddling out of the water with this fucking crocodile in his teeth.
02:01:21.000
Who would have imagined that something would hunt crocodiles?
02:01:34.000
He said he was sleeping in a hammock and a jaguar came right up to his hammock and was like breathing in the hammock.
02:02:00.000
You've seen that one where the tiger leaps up and tries to get that guy where he's on top of the elephant?
02:02:25.000
Dude, that's the one thing about, you know, the one good thing about living in a city is you're not gonna die by witnessing animals eat you alive.
02:02:39.000
Every animal in the wild, one day, You're going to witness animals eating you and you're going to be alive and you're going to watch it.
02:02:47.000
And before that happens, you might have your siblings or your kids or your significant other, they're going to get eaten alive.
02:02:58.000
That's the only thing cool about living in this fucking matrix is at least we're not going to get eaten alive and witness it because that's happening for sure in the wild.
02:03:10.000
The insects are going to get you or some kind of cat is going to get you or a bear is going to get you.
02:03:16.000
You're going to watch yourself get eaten alive.
02:03:20.000
My friend Jim Shockey, he's a professional hunter, and they hired him to go to Africa to kill these crocodiles because these people in this village were getting fucked up by crocodiles so much.
02:03:32.000
And what these people would do is they would set up these areas where it was okay for them to wash and to gather water.
02:03:42.000
You know, like block it off, like sticks in the water in the ground so that the crocodiles couldn't get through, but they'd still figure out a way to get through.
02:03:51.000
And he said when he was there, everybody in the village was like, one guy's missing a foot, one guy's missing an arm, one guy's got a chunk taken out of his leg.
02:04:01.000
It's like everywhere you look, there was people with like a stump for a hand because they were washing and snap!
02:04:07.000
It just fucking gator rolls and pulls your fucking hand off and you run into the village with a bone poking out of your forearm.
02:04:25.000
Some girl, this girl just killed one with a fucking bow.
02:04:29.000
Like the largest crocodile that someone's ever killed, that a woman's ever killed with a bow.
02:05:06.000
I saw a lot of Bud Light commercials during football.
02:05:23.000
You know, sometimes things look bigger than they are just from- No.
02:05:29.000
Like, where do you gotta get this motherfucker?
02:05:32.000
No, but like, you gotta get in the neck or something?
02:05:35.000
I think you have to get it at the base of the brain.
02:05:45.000
Deep breath, calm down, bury my pen right where the center of his lungs should be.
02:05:50.000
You know that albino alligators are worth a lot in the leather industry?
02:05:58.000
Yeah, because then you could dye it any color because it's albino and it's white.
02:06:03.000
The guys from Toll Hold, they get special white albino alligator to make alligator flip-flops.
02:06:09.000
I wonder if they breed them, if they find albinos and they try to breed them with other albinos.
02:06:13.000
That makes sense, because it's probably a recessive gene, right?
02:06:18.000
Or is it just, like, something that just pops up every now and then?
02:06:20.000
You could, if you, like, shoved them all together.
02:06:39.000
I just saw a video of this family taking pictures next to an alligator, and one guy's kind of holding it down, and the mother's coming.
02:06:54.000
Oh, no, no, no, no, it did snap, but you don't know what happened.
02:06:57.000
The guy who had the camera, he just dropped it, and you didn't see what happened, but it did turn around and snap.
02:07:04.000
Show that video where that 14 foot or 13.6 foot alligator has this woman in his mouth in Florida.
02:07:13.000
They just found this thing walking across the ground with a fucking lady in his mouth.
02:07:20.000
And when you're in Florida, they're everywhere.
02:07:26.000
I was at Disney World and I go, how often do you guys get alligators here?
02:07:35.000
They find their way into the lakes, and you don't know they're there.
02:07:42.000
I mean, they're needed, right, to clean up the swamps and stuff in Florida?
02:08:05.000
No disrespect, but that looks like the kind of lady that might get eaten by a crocodile.
02:08:30.000
He gets to a bridge, jumps off the bridge, lands on an alligator.
02:08:41.000
In the wild, that's what you have to deal with.
02:08:44.000
Well, the thing about Florida is it's not just the wild.
02:08:52.000
You ever seen those videos of giant ones walking across golf courses?
02:09:02.000
And unless you're watching them 24-7, you don't know where they're going.
02:09:06.000
They're not in Southern California, I'll tell you that much.
02:09:20.000
Bunch of wild boars like there was three of them and they had a bunch of babies and they're just laying there on trash So I can some kind of landfill and all these babies are just sucking on the you know the tits Yeah, and they're just like they're just trash everywhere and there's like three or four of them.
02:09:36.000
It's like a swarm Oh, there's so many of them and there's millions of them in the state millions wouldn't that Wouldn't it make sense to kill them, right?
02:09:48.000
They definitely do, but you can't keep up with them.
02:09:51.000
They can start breeding when they're six months old.
02:09:53.000
But wouldn't it make sense to kill them for food and just have a bunch of food?
02:09:59.000
My friend Jesse Griffiths, he runs this amazing restaurant in Austin called Dai Due, and he runs a school.
02:10:13.000
Jesse's school, he runs a school where he teaches people how to hunt pigs, how to butcher them, and how to cook them, and he's a chef.
02:10:34.000
And Jesse I had a chance to hunt with him in December of last year, and we went to South Texas, real close to Mexico, and he was cooking for us.
02:10:47.000
So we're in camp hunting deer, and he would cook for us.
02:10:51.000
So you have this world-class chef who's cooking these amazing meals.
02:10:55.000
You know, from these animals that you kill out there.
02:10:59.000
So he's cooking like ducks and deer and it's amazing.
02:11:15.000
Yeah, you think that solves the problem, right?
02:11:26.000
There's millions and millions of them in this state.
02:12:03.000
You know, people frown upon them because they think they're nasty and stinky because they eat everything.
02:12:08.000
But if you clean them up and you cook them correctly, they're delicious.
02:12:15.000
But it's a good animal to hunt because they have to hunt them.
02:12:31.000
They fuck the ground up and just destroy the crops.
02:12:44.000
They have like a thick coating on the outside of their chest.
02:12:49.000
Like all around here is like this thick of like this, like it's an armor plate that they have all around so they can fight with each other because they all have tusks.
02:12:58.000
And so they evolved to develop this very thick fucking armored plate all around their neck in this area.
02:13:08.000
You know what's scary, too, is the video footage in Africa, like in landfills, and they're just filled with baboons and shit.
02:13:25.000
And they actually train dogs to take care of the young.
02:13:33.000
Yeah, they have dogs in their camp to alert them to predators.
02:13:43.000
Imagine being a guy that's fucking there and you gotta clean up these landfills and these fucking baboons are everywhere.
02:13:53.000
They got that long wolf-like face and they got...
02:13:59.000
There's been a bunch of instances of baboons stealing people's babies and killing them and eating them.
02:14:04.000
Snatch your baby from you and run away with it.
02:14:14.000
Living near swarms of baboons, you want to live as far away as that shit is possible.
02:14:26.000
I mean, because these things are coming in, and I'm sure if they're not just straight up attacking, which would be smart for them, because like coyotes and possums, they live with us.
02:14:43.000
We don't fuck with them because they don't fuck with us.
02:14:49.000
If you stay and attack, we're gonna get exterminated.
02:14:52.000
It's almost like they know that instinctively, right?
02:14:55.000
Yeah, it is almost like they know it instinctively.
02:15:07.000
Possums aren't scary, though, but they do carry diseases, like serious diseases.
02:15:17.000
They're clever enough to know not to fuck with humans, because if they did, they'll take a dog.
02:15:22.000
They'll take a little chihuahua and eat that motherfucker.
02:15:25.000
But if they started attacking one child, there's going to be an extermination process going on.
02:15:33.000
There was one recently that attacked a kid, and there's a video of it.
02:15:37.000
Yeah, this guy's like, he set his kid down like his young baby.
02:15:43.000
And he sets his kid down, he's taking some things out of his car, and the baby starts screaming.
02:15:51.000
Yeah, he screamed and ran after it, and the kid's crying.
02:15:55.000
Have you seen those videos of cats defending babies and kids?
02:16:02.000
That was this one video where a baby gets out of his little crib or something and is about to fall down the stairs and a cat just fucking jumps in front of him and pushes him back.
02:16:19.000
And there was another video where it was like in a front yard and some dog went after a kid and a cat came out of nowhere.
02:16:36.000
You know, you think that they wouldn't do shit, but probably most of them won't do shit to protect their...
02:16:41.000
Well, they think of that baby as, like, a part of their family.
02:17:02.000
I mean, they think of a baby as like part of their family, you know?
02:17:06.000
Or they could be thinking, okay, the mother of this baby is my provider.
02:17:17.000
I think they think that that's like one of their family.
02:17:23.000
Did I ever tell you when a coyote honey-potted my dog Johnny?
02:17:37.000
And what a brood is, it's like sometimes chickens, when there's no rooster, they're convinced.
02:17:44.000
And they don't turn into chicks because there's no rooster to fertilize the egg, right?
02:17:51.000
Rooster fucks the hen, the hen lays an egg, that egg's viable, becomes a chick.
02:17:57.000
So sometimes they get it in their head that this egg is going to be a baby.
02:18:02.000
And so they pluck their own feathers out and they sit on this egg.
02:18:05.000
If you come near them, they peck at you and they're brooding.
02:18:10.000
And to get them out of the brooding, what you have to do is you have to take them from their big chicken coop and then you have to put them in a small chicken coop where they have to hold onto a railing.
02:18:20.000
So they can't sit down on the ground and brood, and there's no egg in there.
02:18:25.000
If you keep them there for a few days, they snap out of it.
02:18:31.000
This fucking coyote was so smart that it became friends with Johnny.
02:18:45.000
So we had the big chicken coop that was protected from coyotes and such.
02:18:49.000
And then the small chicken coop that you would put the brooders in.
02:18:52.000
And so, somehow or another, this coyote became friends with Johnny.
02:18:59.000
And the pool guy fucked up and he left the gate open.
02:19:02.000
So the gate was open to where the chicken coop was.
02:19:06.000
And the coyote convinced Johnny to destroy this little chicken coop.
02:19:15.000
The coyote's like 30 pounds, but Johnny's like a buck 40. And the coyote couldn't eat Johnny because he was huge.
02:19:20.000
But he thought this chicken was, this coyote was his friend.
02:19:23.000
And so, I'm sitting there, and we're playing some kind of game.
02:19:29.000
And we're looking out the window, and I see a fucking coyote running through the backyard with a chicken in his mouth.
02:19:35.000
And he hops on top of, bro, we had like a six foot fence.
02:19:40.000
This coyote jumped to the top of that fence like an acrobat, put his paws, his two front paws, then his back paws, with the chicken in his mouth, and sprung over the fence.
02:19:52.000
I'm like, how did this fucking coyote get a hold of the chicken?
02:19:56.000
And then I went over to where the chicken coop was, and there's Johnny, just sitting here with his destroyed chicken coop, looking at me like, what did I do?
02:20:09.000
The coyote convinced him to get into that chicken coop.
02:20:24.000
He decided that, oh, well, I should kill chickens, too.
02:20:29.000
So another time, someone else left the fucking fence open, and Johnny just went through the chicken coop, the big one, because he was so big.
02:20:41.000
And by the time I got to him, like, we looked out the window.
02:20:47.000
We ran outside and he had torn a hole in the chicken coop and just went ham.
02:20:51.000
So we had like 19 chickens left and he killed 9 of them.
02:20:57.000
And there's a few that were still alive that were fucked up.
02:21:01.000
Big old fucking puncture wounds in them and shit where he was just shaking them.
02:21:18.000
I used to have to carry him outside and then he would go to the bathroom and then I'd carry him to his food.
02:21:26.000
That's how one of my cats got cancer, and man, you just watch him die slowly.
02:21:33.000
Do you know, a lot of dogs and cats get cancer from dog food.
02:21:37.000
Like, the kind of food, like dry kibble, not all of it, I don't want to disparage all of it, but a lot of dry kibble is just not good for them.
02:22:03.000
It's frozen meat and potatoes and like green beans and shit.
02:22:10.000
You just pour it in, you scoop it out, serve it in their bowl, and he fucking goes nuts for it.
02:22:17.000
And I was kind of embarrassed that I didn't do that early.
02:22:21.000
Like there's like Farmers Dog that's really good.
02:22:24.000
There's a bunch of different companies that have real food.
02:22:27.000
It's like human-grade food that you serve to your dogs.
02:22:41.000
But a lot of them, it's just like, what's in there?
02:22:46.000
Especially when I was growing up, we would get a gigantic bag of plain wrap dog food.
02:23:04.000
So what I would do is I would get some of the elk that I would kill, I would get it ground up, and then I would give him a chunk of that in his food.
02:23:16.000
Yeah, and I was like, this is so much better for him.
02:23:26.000
Like, it's like little, I mean, look, you look at it, it's fresh.
02:23:29.000
It's fresh frozen with cubes of beef and, like, green beans and blueberries and shit.
02:23:46.000
It's just like he was developing all this body fat, and it's like just processed food, man.
02:23:53.000
If you gave a human cereal every day, they're going to look like shit.
02:23:58.000
Yeah, most disease, I'm sure, is caused by what we put in our mouths.
02:24:07.000
A lot of it is bad food and then environmental factors, right?
02:24:11.000
I was reading about this thing where dudes who cut countertops in California, There's a lot of guys who are dying from an incurable respiratory disease.
02:24:22.000
Guys who like, you know, do construction work and they're cutting countertops.
02:24:27.000
Apparently some of these, see if you can find that.
02:24:29.000
Some of these countertops, it's fucking, they're inhaling toxic fumes when they saw this shit.
02:24:35.000
You know, and this fucking young guy had like a oxygen tank.
02:24:40.000
California workers who cut countertops are dying of an incurable disease.
02:24:52.000
Man labored over hefty slabs of speckled stone, saws whining over sounds of Spanish-language rock.
02:25:01.000
Some had water spurting from their machines, but others had nothing to tamp down the powder rising in the air.
02:25:07.000
Nobody uses water, one man in a Dodger's cap said in Spanish when Maria Cabrera approached Holding flyers about silicosis, an incurable and suffocating disease that has devastated dozens of workers across the state and killed men who have barely reached middle age.
02:25:32.000
I used to work, I worked at a place for two weeks that bulletproofed cars.
02:25:38.000
And for diplomats and for like check cashing mobile vans, you know, just bulletproof it.
02:25:44.000
And basically all it is is you take apart, you put slabs of fiberglass in the doors.
02:25:54.000
You know, so the doors are just filled with sheets of fiberglass.
02:25:57.000
So you have to cut the fiberglass to fit the door.
02:25:59.000
And when you cut it, when you're like sawing it, there's all this fiberglass dust particles all over it.
02:26:13.000
And you had face masks and everything, like those N95s or whatever.
02:26:16.000
But I remember thinking, this fucking can't be good.
02:26:21.000
I did construction, and I laid fiberglass in people's basements, and then the easements, and then the attics.
02:26:30.000
I cut that shit with razor knives, you know, with, like, X-Acto knives.
02:26:36.000
I was always itchy, and you're sweating, because it's the summertime in Boston, so it's fucking 90 degrees outside, and it's all humid, and you're in this attic.
02:26:49.000
And I was thinking, what the fuck am I doing in here?
02:26:58.000
Dude, growing up, you know, because my stepdad's an architect, I got a lot of jobs on construction sites.
02:27:12.000
And that taught me that I don't want to do Oh, yeah.
02:27:25.000
So I would do that all day, and then I would try to go to the gym at night, and I would be hitting the bag.
02:27:51.000
And I remember thinking, oh my god, I have to quit.
02:27:59.000
Well, I was teaching and delivering newspapers.
02:28:12.000
I usually eat my first meal after I work out, which is usually around, like, noon in.
02:28:23.000
What's changed my life is eliminating most carbs.
02:28:30.000
So you wake up, because you could have a cup of black coffee.
02:28:44.000
Yeah, sometimes I come straight here, and I don't even eat.
02:28:48.000
The thing about when you eat only meat, too, you don't really get hungry the same way.
02:28:52.000
Because you don't have that carb craving that you get, you know?
02:28:56.000
So what I do is first thing in the morning, I get in the cold water.
02:29:02.000
Sometimes I'll have a cup of coffee first, say goodbye to my kids, you know, send them off to school, kiss my wife, and go, okay, here we go.
02:29:12.000
Then I get in that fucking cold water for three minutes every morning.
02:29:21.000
I don't like it, but I love how I feel when I get out of there.
02:29:27.000
And I do like a series of bodyweight exercises to warm up.
02:29:31.000
I do 100 push-ups, 100 bodyweight squats, and then I start my workout.
02:29:36.000
Before I started working out on an empty stomach, I would...
02:29:43.000
In between the sets, I'd be, like, on my phone doing emails or whatever.
02:29:47.000
I wouldn't do shit for, like, two, three minutes.
02:29:53.000
And they were doing sets in between their sets.
02:29:55.000
Like, they would just jump and start doing body weight squats and shrugs or some, like, other shit.
02:30:05.000
And I thought back then I was working out on an empty stomach because I would have like a little protein bar and a little shake and some vitamins.
02:30:15.000
Your body still is expending energy trying to deal with that shit in your stomach.
02:30:21.000
Like if you ate a tremendous meal, pasta, bread, you just stuffed yourself, and then you try to work out, that would zap like, what, 80% of your energy?
02:30:33.000
So, you know, a little bar and a little shake and some vitamins.
02:30:36.000
Maybe it's not 80%, but it's like 10%, 15%, and that makes a difference.
02:30:47.000
I heard it from GSP. I heard it from a football player, DK Metcalf.
02:30:53.000
Maybe he eats some candies or little Skittles just to get a sugar rush or something.
02:30:59.000
And then when I heard it from Mikey Musamechi, I'm like, you know what?
02:31:05.000
And man, my workouts, dude, I'm doing bodyweight squats.
02:31:09.000
Because I can't do weighted squats because of the metal in my back.
02:31:19.000
You know, when I went in there originally, six years ago, the doctor said, okay, both your L5 and L4 are fucked.
02:31:37.000
Yeah, but the one above it was looking like shit too.
02:31:41.000
So he said, you want to do both of them right now?
02:31:43.000
If you don't, you're going to have to come back in like five, six years and do the one above it.
02:31:48.000
Because people were telling me, don't ever do shit that you don't need.
02:31:55.000
I didn't have to make the decision until right when they laid me on the table and they said, the doctor said, so what do you want to do?
02:32:01.000
I could have went fusion because I was barely qualified for a disc replacement.
02:32:09.000
Yeah, they're going, dude, because your spine has to be a certain way for disc replacement to work, so you have to qualify it for it.
02:32:16.000
So the doctor said, you can do disc replacement, but you're right on the cusp.
02:32:23.000
We could do fusion, which boxes it up, the L5. We could do one fusion.
02:32:42.000
So I decided, let's go just one disc, and I'll come back five or six years.
02:32:59.000
Remember, I did your podcast last September, and dude, that whole weekend, I could barely put my shoes on.
02:33:08.000
And then I heard about the guy that fixed Dave Grogan's back.
02:33:55.000
And he figured out what's wrong with most injuries.
02:34:05.000
My back, the pain I'm getting is my lower back muscles are locked.
02:34:12.000
That's why you're stiff and you can't move and it's sore.
02:34:14.000
He goes, you have to not unlock the muscles and people don't know how to unlock them.
02:34:23.000
It takes about an hour and a half to do his stretching routine, but it's all on a timer.
02:34:28.000
You do a two-minute stretch here, one minute rest, don't do nothing, don't move.
02:34:32.000
Two-minute stretch, one minute rest, don't do nothing.
02:34:35.000
Because the general philosophy is you got to stretch.
02:34:42.000
You can't get in there and start throwing elbows and fucking yanking and stretching.
02:34:54.000
So there's these certain stretches for your lower back.
02:34:58.000
There's like 27 total, but for your lower back, there's five.
02:35:20.000
He flies out every week to the Cleveland Browns.
02:35:33.000
So I'm in the process of that, of fully unlocking my muscles.
02:35:37.000
But, you know, your muscles have memory, so they always go back and they always relock.
02:35:44.000
I'm hoping I don't have to have surgery, and it looks like I'm headed to full recovery.
02:35:52.000
I'm going to show you something that Goggins just sent me.
02:36:32.000
He's got a way of stretching that no one else does.
02:36:44.000
Like he says, when you have a shoulder injury, the pain is coming from your bicep locking.
02:36:53.000
I'm no expert in his style, but I know a little about it.
02:37:10.000
Man, if you're thinking about getting surgery...
02:37:19.000
And the crazy thing is the stretching, there's not supposed to be any pain, so there is no pain.
02:37:25.000
When you get in a stretch, you have to get at seven.
02:37:43.000
Philosophy behind it is you stretch the muscle, and it stretches just a little bit, and then you rest for a minute, don't do nothing, you don't move.
02:37:49.000
And you lay on your back, it's called the dead zone.
02:37:51.000
And then it just, it feels, the muscles that got stretched, it fills with blood.
02:37:56.000
And then you go back two more minutes, let's stretch it a little bit more, and then you rest for one minute, don't do nothing, dead zone.
02:38:02.000
And then it fills with blood a little bit more, and a little, it's a slow...
02:38:10.000
If I'm on the road, it's tough, but you can just do it on your bed.
02:38:44.000
Anyway, so he fire jumps into this area and look at these grizzly bear tracks.
02:38:52.000
So what he does is he fire jumps for the challenge.
02:39:01.000
He does it just because it's fucking hard to do.
02:39:04.000
And so he sends me this video of these fucking giant bear tracks.
02:39:09.000
Look, he's putting it right next to his bear track.
02:39:21.000
So we'll probably have an overnight partner here.
02:39:50.000
And as you see, he walks right through there, through those woods.
02:40:18.000
And then he writes Goggins with like 10 exclamation points.
02:40:39.000
