MadFlavor and Eddie Bravo are back with a new episode of the road dogs podcast. They talk about Eddie's trip to Boston, how they got into comedy, and what it's like being on a reality TV show with Eddie Bravo. Also, MadFlavor talks about how he learned how to flip a guy in the head with his arm, and how he thinks he's going to knock out a guy with his leg. We also talk about the time Eddie taught him how to throw a guy to the ground with his foot, and why he thinks it's a good idea to teach other people how to do the same thing with their leg. And of course, they talk about how they're going to beat the hell out of each other in the next round of the game show, "10th Planet Riverside" and how they are going to do it better than they ever have before. Also, the boys talk about why they don't want to see Eddie Bravo on the show and why they think he should be on the next season of "The Office" and why it's not going to be as good as it's been so far as they have been in the past couple of seasons.

00:02:33.000And the first week, he taught this move where you're hitting a guy, and then you roll and take his leg, and the guy gives you an arm, so you have three different options.
00:02:40.000And then last week, when you were there, by the way, you know the fucking move, and you're hitting him, you're on his back, so you take this leg, and you double hook on this leg, and you pull over.0.89
00:03:09.000That's the beauty of it, is you were just talking about Night of the Living Dead, and then I'd flip you with the butterfly hooks, and then...
00:03:34.000And then I went the other night, which was a very simple hold where it was controlling the guy with the underhook, which you're really good at, he said.
00:04:00.000Well, when someone's really good at something, when someone's really good at something and really good at speaking about that something, it's always fascinating.
00:04:06.000But how he walks, he does it like a stand-up comic.
00:04:10.000He walks in a certain area, so people have to look at him.
00:04:13.000And he doesn't even know what he's doing.
00:04:14.000He doesn't know how just being him, he commands attention.
00:07:22.000So what it is, for the people who don't know what we're talking about, Joey does this breakdown of the UFCs as Joey Karate, who's a Cuban black belt.
00:09:15.000It doesn't need to be official on ESPN.com to me.
00:09:19.000Interacting with people on the underground and getting someone's opinion, you get a bit more insight as to how a fight's going to go down from that than I think than any of the websites online.
00:09:26.000You know, the one time I do like hearing what a fighter actually has to say about a fight, the one time when they're talking about stuff that the public, me included, really don't know about, what's really going on in that fucking cage.
00:10:29.000But I don't want to hear, like, a bunch of analysts sitting around going, what he has to do is, Clay Guida's got to keep the fight standing.
00:11:20.000So Boz is on the plane, and he goes up to use the restroom, and one of the ladies that's working for the plane is like, are you here for the wrestling thing?1.00
00:13:28.000How about I fucking slap you really fucking hard?
00:13:31.000So he came in and he was fucking iron palming dudes.0.99
00:13:34.000What he was doing was Boss could pull his hand way back.
00:13:37.000So he was basically just punching you with this.
00:13:40.000He was using all his punch techniques, but he was hitting you with the meat of your hand, which really is better because it doesn't hurt your knuckles.
00:15:32.000What do you think, out of everything you've heard about pancreas, I mean, what do you think?
00:15:38.000I don't know what to think, but Ken Shamrock told me, Ken Shamrock told me, came out of his mouth that all those pancreas fights were worked.
00:16:10.000Yeah, because he said you had to be really, really good because if they asked you to take them to the later rounds or whatever, you had to be good enough too because sometimes the foreigners didn't know they were fixed.1.00
00:16:24.000He said the foreigners didn't always know.
00:18:41.000Okay, so you think Frank Shamrock getting in that cage and just bowing to everybody's publicity stunt, that eventually he's going to come back and make it like it's a really big deal that he's coming back?
00:18:49.000I'm not going to say it was a publicity stunt because maybe he believes he's really retiring.
00:19:27.000And I think if he decides that he doesn't want to compete anymore, why should he compete?
00:19:31.000If it's not in his heart anymore and he feels like his performances reflect that, why not just step down?
00:19:36.000Why not stop doing it if you can get over it?
00:19:38.000The real problem with fighters is at a certain point in time, you're...
00:19:41.000Self-esteem and your self-worth evolves completely around your ability to fight and beat people up.
00:19:46.000And when you can't do it anymore, you feel like a loser.
00:19:48.000A lot of guys, they don't even know who they are when they stop competing because it's such an intense experience that a giant chunk of their life is dedicated to getting really good at it, to getting good at fighting.
00:19:58.000Their whole life revolves around their fighting.
00:20:00.000And then when they're not fighting, it's like they're lost.
00:20:03.000Like, when I was doing comedy and I was sucking, one of the best things that happened to me is I tore my ACL. And the reason being is I couldn't train, I couldn't do anything, and I certainly couldn't fight, and I needed an operation.
00:20:14.000But it took competing as an option away from me.
00:20:18.000I was 21 years old, and it took it away.
00:20:20.000Now I was like, I can't compete anymore.
00:20:57.000It's all of a sudden their life is not wrapped around training camps, And preparing and improving your skills to face the next level and get to the top.
00:21:05.000You get your title back once you've lost it.
00:26:06.000When I was a kid growing up, if you were black and you talked about Bruce Lee, there's always that black guy that said, listen, I got a cousin who's a black belt who's got his hands registered with the emperor.0.80
00:26:15.000What does it entail to actually have your hair?
00:26:18.000Only black guys have their hands ready for an FBI.1.00
00:26:21.000Maybe 20 years ago, I think if you had a black belt in karate in some states, you had to register your hands.
00:26:27.000I don't think that's ever been the case.
00:27:32.000This big, big guy, he's like 250, fucking giant muscles, walks up to this chick and just blasts her in the face and sucker punches her.1.00
00:32:01.000Dude, in 98, remember I was going out psycho?
00:32:05.000Eddie's girlfriends always have the best names.
00:32:07.000Bored again, bored again was one, psycho was another.
00:32:11.000Psycho, we were at the tail end of the relationship, it was falling apart, and we decided, let's try to rekindle our love and drive up the coast to Monterey.
00:34:29.000That how important TV and internet is, especially when you're, you know, I could just go to sleep or whatever, but when you're trying to entertain your girlfriend, I said, fuck it.
00:34:38.000I went back to, I went to the front desk and I said, I didn't know that we didn't, there was no reception up here at all.
00:34:44.000Can we get, can I get a refund for tomorrow?
00:34:46.000I just wanted to leave that next morning.
00:40:11.000Think about when you walk in, you haven't had your phone on, and you open it up, and you think all this fucking knowledge is going to be in there.
00:40:48.000And it's going to, I think, in some way, it's going to help human beings evolve.
00:40:52.000Well, two years from now, when the Arabs bombed the fucking tower or the satellites, and we got no phone, and you're stuck on fucking the floor trying to call me, cocksucker.1.00
00:40:59.000You'll say, I had a fucking Joey's number in my cell.
00:42:11.000I was researching hunting accidents in Maine.
00:42:14.000Because I used to have this joke about hunting in Maine, and I was like, I wonder what the real numbers were, like how many people actually got shot.
00:42:20.000Well, the real problem is experienced hunters.
00:43:13.000That's the scariest thing about hunting.
00:43:15.000The scariest thing about hunting is hunters that don't know what the fuck they're doing, and, you know, people accidentally shooting people.
00:43:21.000So you got experienced hunters out there, 30%, and the other is unexperienced.
00:43:25.000So some motherfucker's gonna get shot, is what we're saying.
00:43:28.000Dude, the article that I was reading was about this guy who was an investigator, and he was out there, like, investigating people who were shot.
00:43:35.000And, you know, they had this one guy that he thinks was a suspect, and the guy was an experienced hunter.
00:43:39.000And he just, you know, was asking the guy, like, hey, you know, you see anything?
00:44:30.000I don't want to see that fucking hole in its head.
00:44:32.000Why would you want the animal to die in some fucking factory farm where they get their brains smashed by a piston and they're living in cow shit all day for most of their life until that happens.
00:45:20.000I think we've allowed ourselves to somehow or another be removed from the process of murdering, slaughtering, and butchering the animal, and we just enjoy the meat, which is kind of crazy, if you really think about it.
00:45:30.000So I just want to, for my own personal edification, I just want to go and experience it.
00:46:31.000When I was a kid in Miami, my uncle would get the pigs, bring them up, feed them for a couple weeks, and then fucking kill them while we were there.
00:51:24.000And the poor neighbors, the kids are out in the fucking streets at three and four.
00:51:28.000They're like, the kids are like fucking stray dogs in poor neighborhoods, right?
00:51:33.000Dude, when I was living with my grandfather in Newark, when I was living with my grandfather in Newark, they would be playing stickball in the middle of the street.
00:51:41.000You would have to stop and whatever they'd be playing.
00:51:44.000They'd be playing soccer in the middle of the street.
00:51:46.000They'd be playing, like, right, there's mostly Puerto Ricans and Dominicans and stuff in Newark.
00:51:50.000And you would literally have to stop your car and Wait in order to get through to where you wanted to go.
00:52:23.000But once I was 10, we were on the fucking streets.
00:52:25.000It was like two, three dudes at 10, my brother at 14 and 15, and then we had some 18, 19-year-olds and some 20, and we were all Mixed in, playing football, organizing shit.0.97
00:52:35.000We're always on the street playing basketball games, a bunch of Mexicans, and we're all into rock.
00:53:22.000One of those streets where you would, on the street, there was like, you know, maybe 15, 20 kids that would live on the street, and they would be hanging out in the middle of the street all night.
00:53:31.000It was like 3 o'clock in the morning, and you'd be like watching TV. They'd be like 10 feet in front of your window screaming at each other, yelling, drinking beer, throwing shit.
00:53:56.000Whenever we'd get together late at night, we'd get in camo, climb lemon trees, fill backpacks with lemons, and then we'd climb in other trees, and we'd be all camouflaged in a tree, and when the cars would come by, fucking throw lemons at them, and then they would stop.
00:54:09.000Dude would come out and we'd be hiding in the fucking trees, man.
00:55:22.000Your brain gets programmed by the people that are around you, especially your influences and your teachers.
00:55:26.000And your father, of course, is going to be the biggest teacher in your life.
00:55:29.000If your father was a really nice guy and a sweet guy and a fun guy and a loving father and a Christian and really gung-ho, rah-rah Republican, the United States would never do a bad thing to us, you could be sucked into that way of thinking.
00:56:55.000When I came to this country, my mom stressed that we came here for you to be an American.
00:57:00.000One time on a bus, some kids were talking in Spanish, and they wanted to beat the teacher up because the guy threw them off the fucking bus and made them walk home.
00:57:07.000And I walked in the house, and I told my mom.
00:57:09.000My mom's like, I don't know what you're upset about.
00:57:58.000I was going to school at night, and I was snorting coke with three hands.
00:58:02.000And I fucking got involved with some kid, and he was going to rob his roommate, and ended up robbing them, both of them.
00:58:09.000And then the guy that I had as a partner was going to rob me.
00:58:12.000What a tangled web we weave when we tangled to deceive.
00:58:15.000And it just so happens that the guy got caught.
00:58:18.000Like, I told him the guy I didn't want nothing to do with it, even though I had the coke with me.
00:58:21.000I sent the coke to Aspen, but the other guy, the guy that tried to rob me, he ended up getting pulled over with the guy we kidnapped in the trunk of his car, all fucking bandled up and shit.
00:58:30.000So I got arrested for the kidnap, kidnapping too and everything, but you know what?
01:06:43.000Yeah, because people look directly at your face, so you want to catch your attention, that's why you got the necklace, that's why you got the watch, but nothing beats the fucking tooth.
01:06:52.000Next, you know, that's why they bling the glasses out too, and it's like...
01:06:55.000Yeah, but that never caught on with the white community.
01:06:57.000That's where white people drew the line.
01:08:13.000White guys who want to be black, they have to try extra hard.1.00
01:08:16.000That's crazy, though, but to continue with Eddie, what I was telling you was that I went in there every Thursday, I get on stage, and then one day, this is fucked up, Joe Rogan, this is why I really dig you, because one day the guy in the library was like a nerdy dude.
01:09:33.000Do you think that if you didn't go to prison, if you didn't have that experience of talking in front of those people, that you probably never would have done stand-up or would stand up something that was in the back of your head anyway?
01:13:48.000The truth of the matter is, now that you get down with it, about a month ago, I got a call from a friend of mine and we were talking that I hadn't talked to.
01:13:56.000I hooked up with him on Facebook and he said something to me.
01:13:58.000He goes, bro, I knew on that bus ride home.
01:14:00.000That you're always going to be an entertainer.
01:14:02.000And I asked him, I go, what are you talking about?
01:14:04.000He goes, do you remember after freshman basketball, you would get on the bus and fucking go off every night?
01:14:10.000He goes, it got to the point where the bus drivers wouldn't pick you up anymore.
01:14:13.000Because we used to go on and do the theme from The Odd Couple.
01:14:16.000And then I would go into a fucking 20 minute skit all the way until we got to the thing.
01:14:21.000And I even wrote a blog about it that...
01:14:23.000After he told me that, I called a bunch of people from those days, and I go, bro, what did we used to do on the bus?
01:14:28.000And they were like, you don't remember?
01:14:30.000We used to take all the fucking buses, the number one bus, 90th Street to 38th Street.
01:14:34.000We ran it, and you were the fucking host, an emcee.
01:15:03.000We gotta teach some discipline to you.
01:15:06.000The lack of discipline is really what makes someone a comic, though.
01:15:09.000I wasn't a stand-up at all, like in that sense, like growing up, but I was always, every year, I was always, depending on the teacher I had, because junior high and high school you have like seven teachers, I was always the dude to start shit, play pranks, and always.
01:15:25.000Unless the teacher was Mr. Enders, you never did shit, you just fucking, he was a bad motherfucker.
01:15:31.000He goes, you want to act up, you want to talk?
01:15:32.000We talked about this before on the podcast.
01:15:35.000Mr. Enders, 10th grade, I think, geology, I don't remember.
01:15:43.000There's no way to tell, you know, the funny thing about someone becoming a comic is there's no one who could have pulled you aside and said what you really need to do is become a comic.
01:15:51.000It's like you almost have to experience all this resistance to your personality, to regular life.
01:15:56.000Then that forces you into being a comic.
01:15:58.000It's like if someone can't just come up to you and go, this is what you really need to do.
01:16:45.000I didn't want to be a loser, and I wanted to be really good at taekwondo, and I wanted to win the nationals, and I wanted to compete in the Olympics.
01:17:15.000When I'm 21 years old, what the fuck kind of opinion did I have that was interesting on anything?
01:17:19.000If I told you anything about anything other than sex or kicking somebody in the head, you would already know what I was going to say way in advance.
01:17:30.000I hear that a lot, that people are too young to sing, maybe they don't have a lot of life experiences.
01:17:33.000Well, when you're 30, the kind of comedy you do, where you look at you, look at you, you stupid fuck, you know, you do that kind of comedy, where you point some shit out.
01:17:41.000Well, you can't point some shit out at 21. You're not seeing it.
01:22:56.000He was great, but Bison told me when he goes to the baptism and a face like a lion and a body like a serpent.
01:23:03.000I don't know about you, but I don't want to see no motherfucker that looks like that.1.00
01:23:08.000Man, when I was a kid, when I was in high school, me and my girlfriend, Bethany, we used to come home from high school and I had a cassette player and we'd listen to Richard Pryor cassettes and just giggle because we knew we shouldn't be listening to this.
01:25:16.000By the way, I gotta tell Joe while we're on this subject because it's very interesting.
01:25:19.000I used to always tell you about UPS. People used to always tell me how they used to ship ship on UPS and I'd take them aside and go, don't ship nothing on UPS. Because my buddies ran the Paramus one.
01:25:30.000And in all UPSs, they have a little gate where they have Rolexes and diamonds because they ship all the world's diamonds on UPS. A lot of people don't know that.
01:25:55.000My buddy used to show up with Rolex Presidentials, bitches, and they were selling for $10K cash, selling three a week, making $8.50 an hour at UPS, selling three Presidentials.1.00
01:26:05.000How did they not know there were so many getting stolen?
01:26:53.000Up in UPS. The way you get into UPS is hard, because I was working as a temp at the United States Post Office, and that shit was only six months, a year, something like that, and it was coming to end, so I had to get another job, so I had people that worked at UPS, they go, dude, try UPS. It's going to be really hard to get in, though.
01:27:10.000They hire three out of 30 people that they come in.
01:27:12.000They bring 30 people, and they hire three, and I'm like, dude, they're looking for warriors, dude.
01:28:26.000The first job is you get in the semi, the two worst motherfuckers, there's all these semis and go, you're part of the semi crew.
01:28:31.000You're just putting fucking boxes on conveyor belts and then the conveyor comes out and then the first guy sorts it by zip code and he has a bunch of belts behind him and he's going for it.
01:28:40.000So I'm in the fucking truck going, fuck!
01:28:42.000Working hard, going, I gotta get out of this fucking truck.
01:29:55.000They don't get mis-sorted because there's conveyor belts that go for fucking like hundreds of yards and they're going through all this shit.
01:30:13.000Well, anyways, I thought I got a promotion, got a 50 cent raise and I'm sitting there Back-to-back like me or you're sorting for people behind you and I'm sorting for people behind me and it's me and Phil Collins and we're going I'm the the the reason the guy quit I didn't know he couldn't handle working with Phil Collins because Phil Collins is like just this mean fucking black guy that would fuck really cool before work started with everyone to what about the Jets oh my god God, did you see fucking Boomer Esiason?
01:38:57.000It's going to be interesting what does happen to him.
01:39:00.000He's going to have to be very careful about his image if he does get divorced.
01:39:03.000It could be total horseshit and he could be getting along with his wife great.
01:39:06.000But if he gets divorced and he's out there wilding, he's out there dating, because there's going to be bitches that want to set him up, try to get on TMZ. How about the Dr. Phil sketch that was on the Man Show?1.00
01:39:46.000And then he was making moves on this one chick, and from under the table, a girl came out like he had been getting a blowjob and just walked away.1.00
01:39:52.000And he just kept talking to her, go, you want a party?
01:39:54.000Get your friends, let's go, I got some coats.
01:42:49.000Well, I wasn't there, and the network had real serious ideas about what they wanted.
01:42:52.000And, you know, they were the ones running the show and coming up with the money, and they had some real serious ideas about what they thought was funny.
01:42:58.000And one of them was they didn't want Joey on the show.
01:43:00.000And I wanted Joey to come out at the beginning of the show naked and introduce everybody.
01:43:04.000He would come out with a microphone, a handheld microphone.
01:44:48.000He might not be a writer as far as he's not going to come up with a properly formatted sketch.
01:44:56.000He could eventually do that, but for right now what he's good at, he's good at looking at things funny, smoking pot, coming up with crazy ideas.
01:46:32.000I went, they made me rehearse, like jack-offs that they were, and the guy, Tom Giannis, came over, and oh, it's hysterical, we love it.0.84
01:46:40.000Then the next day I go there, and now everybody's talking about it.
01:46:43.000It was hysterical to see all these fucking educated white people walking around like they didn't know what the fuck to do.
01:46:48.000He's going to take his balls out, and he's going to run, and they're going to kill, and that's it.
01:47:43.000So the guy who was telling me to my face how funny I am, I catch him when I get off stage telling the Comedy Central people that it was tasteless, and he thought it was terrible, and he's going to tell Rogan how my balls aren't funny.
01:47:56.000And all of a sudden, I look at him, and I fucking was raging.
01:47:59.000And as I'm at the end of the show, I'm outside, and what really happened was, because I don't give a fuck, I was smoking a joint with a security guard, with this black security guard.0.99
01:48:07.000I whipped out a joint right on the set.
01:59:31.000And when he had both his feet on Frankie's hips, that's just serious, amazing Yoda control, you know.0.60
01:59:39.000Yeah, no, he's badass in controlling guys like that, but not enough to finish guys.
01:59:43.000It's weird that B.J. is such a jiu-jitsu master, but yet he doesn't really finish guys off of his back.
01:59:48.000You know, he's had problems in a lot of fights where guys can take him down and hold him down.
01:59:51.000You know, that was obviously the problem in the George St. Pierre fight, and that was obviously the problem when Frankie Edgar took him down, too.
