Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
00:00:24.000
We need a name for this order of unruly gentlemen.
00:00:47.000
He got so excited that I had one, he's like, well, you have them too.
00:01:04.000
There's been studies that have done that show some sort of a connection with helping ward off Alzheimer's, I believe.
00:01:22.000
What's bad for you is the delivery system of cigarettes.
00:01:26.000
Particularly cigarettes if you buy, like, cigarettes with chemicals in them.
00:01:30.000
So there's like, there's those, what are those, American spirits?
00:01:36.000
That's like a marketing, I don't think that's true.
00:01:42.000
I thought they were just supposed to be a paper and a tobacco.
00:01:48.000
There's no evidence from randomized controlled trials to support the use of nicotine as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
00:01:53.000
So what was the thing that, wasn't there something about a connection between the way nicotine works?
00:02:09.000
It says, while nicotine itself doesn't cause dementia, the act of smoking cigarettes may be linked to an increased risk of developing dementia as you age.
00:02:17.000
The harmful substances in cigarette smokes can lead to inflammation factors linked to the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
00:02:22.000
I know that nicotine is a medication they use sometimes for heart patients.
00:02:30.000
The whole thing is the cigarettes- The whole thing is the cigarettes- Did you ever see that movie with Russell Crowe, The Insider?
00:02:36.000
It's about the dude who works for the cigarette companies.
00:02:38.000
He's a chemist, and he's talking about all the shit they throw in the cigarettes to make them super hyper-addictive.
00:02:44.000
So it's actually not the nicotine that makes it addictive?
00:02:51.000
And then they just super juice it up, according to this movie.
00:02:54.000
Before you get me addicted to these things- If I put this in my mouth...
00:02:58.000
What are you going to be, scratching my fucking Tyrone?
00:03:09.000
If I'm an everyday Zin guy, if I stop it, am I going to be like...
00:03:23.000
I would think you would have got it earlier instead of later.
00:03:31.000
But the thing is, I don't know if that's my biology.
00:03:41.000
There's a reason why I never tried fucking cocaine or anything.
00:03:47.000
I had these two pizzeria bosses, and one of them just last week had to get a new spine, and now he's on a ventilator.
00:03:59.000
I think he might be dead by now, but it's very depressing.
00:04:04.000
I was 17 years old, and I used to deliver pizzas for these guys, Nicky and Louie, and they were funny.
00:04:15.000
They used to have a cocaine problem, but they cleaned up.
00:04:18.000
And he goes, Matt, you try it once, and you're fucked.
00:04:28.000
And I've been in situations, obviously, I mean, we all have, like, where it's like, talk about pure pressure, man.
00:04:35.000
And it's like, you know, you got to be that guy.
00:04:38.000
I got real lucky when I was growing up that I had friends that liked it, that were good friends that told me to never do it.
00:04:44.000
And then I also had a friend whose cousin sold it.
00:04:47.000
And when he sold it, he went from being this like regular dude to being like a vampire.
00:04:53.000
He had an attic apartment with his girlfriend and they just did coke and watched movies and sold coke.
00:05:00.000
He started getting real, like, gaunt and skinny looking.
00:05:03.000
And I was like, yo, it's like they got bit by a vampire.
00:05:10.000
Now your whole mission in his life is getting coke.
00:05:18.000
All that success and love and family and friendship and dinners with friends.
00:05:27.000
You just throw this thing in your mouth like that?
00:05:33.000
But you know what else I found that I really like?
00:05:36.000
I should kind of not be talking about this because these motherfuckers took the name that we use for our nootropic, which is Alpha Brain.
00:05:49.000
It's a bunch of nootropics, which I really like nootropics.
00:05:53.000
Maybe they didn't steal our name, but it's kind of funny.
00:05:59.000
The first one that I ever found out was Neuro 1. Remember that guy, Romanowski?
00:06:04.000
Yeah, Romanowski, who was a football player, obviously got a lot of head impacts, and he was having problems with his memory, so he devised a supplement.
00:06:14.000
And, I'm sorry, what did you say is in that again?
00:06:27.000
It's the building block for human neurochemistry.
00:06:37.000
If you can, like, show the ingredients for alpha brain, if you could.
00:06:42.000
There's a bunch of different things that have been shown to increase cognitive performance.
00:06:45.000
So we actually did randomized controlled trials at the Boston Center for Memory for Alpha Brain.
00:06:52.000
And it showed an increase in verbal memory, your ability to retain words, which I really find.
00:06:57.000
Like, I take it every time I do a UFC, I take Alpha Brain.
00:07:06.000
Yeah, you've been bringing up zingers that everybody forgot about.
00:07:15.000
Alpha-GPC, Harpersea, Vitamin B6. Theanine is a really good one, too.
00:07:20.000
Theanine is also in another thing I really like, which is NeuroGum.
00:07:33.000
So all these things, what it's shown is, if you take these things, it's just like, we know that there's certain nutrients that your body needs.
00:07:41.000
We know we need Vitamin D. And if you're not getting it from the sun, you can supplement it.
00:07:45.000
There's a bunch of different things you can supplement, but you can supplement the things that your brain needs to work at the best level.
00:07:51.000
Speaking of men, you saw the amount of supplements I take, you would go crazy.
00:08:00.000
If there was one dude in this room that I would come to, who's got the supplements?
00:08:31.000
But what I like about the Jocos is they're already made.
00:08:42.000
And the main reason, too, is because I like to put it in my oatmeal, too.
00:08:47.000
Well, I'm not a goat, so I don't be eating oatmeal.
00:08:58.000
Isn't it funny that when people choke, people used to eat oatmeal if they were starving.
00:09:02.000
Those are people that were like poor people that were just starving to death working in the fields.
00:09:24.000
I've seen a, since the last time we spoke, remember the last time we were talking about my ass not to get anything fucked up?
00:09:32.000
I don't want to leave everybody on a cliffhanger.
00:09:41.000
The last we spoke, I was supposed to take a shit in a box to go to the lab.
00:09:56.000
And then I changed insurance so I had to get a different doctor.
00:10:47.000
Listen, first of all, it's hard to get an appointment with a lot of these fucking doctors, you know?
00:11:00.000
My wife started by trying to book these doctors and couldn't get it.
00:11:08.000
So I was expecting a fucking half a hippie sipping wheatgrass.
00:11:13.000
It was a guy who looked like John Rollo, 59. Strong guy.
00:11:19.000
He was telling me that a lot of these, they just want to put you on meds.
00:11:29.000
He's like, I want to turn back time with you and shit like that.
00:12:06.000
I think he was the mayor of whatever city he lived in.
00:12:09.000
Clint Eastwood became the mayor of Carmel, California.
00:12:13.000
But I think Sonny Bono was like a senator or something.
00:12:29.000
Yeah, one of the Kennedys died the same way, and in, like, real close proximity to each other.
00:12:35.000
16th mayor of Palm Springs, California, from 88 to 92. He was a representative.
00:12:39.000
And served as the U.S. Representative for California's 44th District from 1995 to his death in 1998. He was both.
00:13:02.000
Do people like the policies or are they just liking the fucking guy?
00:13:29.000
It's not exactly politically correct, but it's fucking good.
00:13:47.000
Robert Downey Jr., not only was he in blackface, but he was in yellowface.
00:13:51.000
Remember, he came out talking to them about catching Jack Black in the rice paddies and shit.
00:14:02.000
I think they're going to be marching on ground control.
00:14:12.000
Emojis are all yellow and there's no complaints.
00:14:24.000
There was legit Asian hate, though, after COVID came out.
00:14:30.000
There was a lot of really dumb people that were just running up to Asian people, hitting them.
00:14:57.000
When they got that kid, there was a kid who turned out to actually be Native American who had half of his face.
00:15:06.000
He had literally put on war paint, I think, of the tribe that he's from.
00:15:16.000
One of those websites tried to label it as a fan, a racist fan in blackness.
00:15:22.000
So they only showed this side of his face, where it was dark, and the other side of his face was white, which was like this war paint.
00:15:46.000
I am sick of what they did to fucking Star Wars.
00:16:16.000
There's nothing wrong with making everybody badass.
00:16:52.000
It's based basically off of another show, which was an animated show.
00:16:58.000
First of all, before you pick on me, George St. Pierre watches these same fucking shows.
00:17:04.000
I talk to George about this, and we geek the fuck.
00:17:28.000
And Ezra, at the end of the series, Ezra fights this guy Thrawn and he goes through another dimension and he leaves a fucking hero.
00:17:35.000
And now the next appearance is him live action in this series years later, right?
00:17:42.000
They make him the biggest cuck in the universe, right?
00:17:59.000
I forgot her name, but she gives him a fucking...
00:18:05.000
They can't make him look too cool because he's a dude.
00:18:18.000
He's surrounded right now, so he's like doing some fucking hippie shit.
00:18:31.000
They have two of these horses, these alien horses.
00:18:41.000
On a motorcycle, when there's two guys riding, now the guy in the back, it's called riding bitch.
00:18:50.000
Now is that just because, you know, it just happens to be?
00:19:07.000
You can have a strong woman character and a strong man character.
00:19:11.000
Conan, the barbarian, could be riding on the back of a horse with a chick at the reins and no one would question shit.
00:19:32.000
He's gotta be humping the chick to get on the back.
00:19:39.000
As I was saying it, I was like, I can't defend this.
00:19:51.000
Okay, maybe John Wick on the back of a motorcycle killing people while his girl drives.
00:20:06.000
But the guy that he's talking about surely was.
00:20:08.000
I mean, I didn't even think he was a badass in the show.
00:20:14.000
Wait a minute, but it's all, who wrote it though?
00:20:21.000
It's just this new thing that they use in Star Wars, the Star Wars universe.
00:20:26.000
Star Wars is Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader and that's it.
00:20:30.000
It's Obi-Wan Kenobi, it's C-3PO, everything else you're just stealing my money.
00:20:42.000
Han Solo was the fucking PIMP. How about when Han Solo's about to go with the fucking carbonite?
00:20:49.000
As a kid watching this, as a kid, it's emotional.
00:20:52.000
He's getting lowered into the fucking carbonite.
00:20:55.000
You don't know if he's gonna survive this thing.
00:20:57.000
Chewie's sitting there upset, fucking Lando's being a bit of a, you know, we're unsure about Lando.
00:21:51.000
Matt Serra, former UFC welterweight champion, is also a nerd.
00:22:01.000
Because listen, this show doesn't come without perks.
00:22:17.000
He goes, look, I love how enthusiastic you are.
00:22:29.000
I don't play anything but Pop 1. Am I getting off the subject?
00:22:32.000
We should talk about MMA. We haven't even got to MMA. Listen, holy shit.
00:22:44.000
I love the Battle Royale format where it's like a squad and then everybody gets brought in together and you gotta take each other out.
00:22:52.000
That's Pop 1. Technically it's Fortnite, not to sound like a nerd.
00:23:19.000
Yeah, you get your boys, and then you're like, look.
00:23:23.000
Look, now that you see the perimeter, dude, everybody gets brought in, you get scopes, you put it on, you get money, you can buy stuff, put it on, and you're taking these guys out, you're sniping them.
00:23:55.000
He probably won't do it, but get someone to do it.
00:24:06.000
UFC unfiltered Why don't you get the UFC to just film you doing that too as well - I don't know.
00:24:30.000
I mean, look how enthusiastic he is about it anyway.
00:24:35.000
It's so funny, because that could be very sad normally when a 50-year-old's fucking...
00:24:41.000
Last time I was on here, they did a thing called My Dad is a Gamer, and they had me on there fucking being sick.
00:24:58.000
But they're so fun, you'll wind up wasting your whole life playing video games.
00:25:04.000
My thing is, everything's about balance, like passing the guard, you know?
00:25:09.000
I feel like I deserve it at the end of the day.
00:25:28.000
Most people don't have that type of discipline.
00:25:30.000
Yeah, but you're an accomplished martial artist.
00:25:38.000
If you're just a fucking dorky kid who just has a job and that's all you fucking do.
00:25:49.000
If you're a guy doing stuff every day and you're smoking, it could help you.
00:25:54.000
But if you're in that commercial when they're blowing the shit out the window, Hey Ma, the guy's gonna call me back.
00:26:04.000
If you're 30 years old, you're living at home, you're fucking...
00:26:20.000
- He said you gotta be a woman character. - 'Cause the women always win. - Contractors is a game that's all been out forever.
00:26:27.000
I'm not really into it, but the Contractors Showdown is coming out at the end of the month, and that's the Battle Royale version.
00:26:35.000
My wife hears me talking about this online, and she's like, you fucking have no idea.
00:26:42.000
You know, she loves me, but it could be a turn-off, I'm sure.
00:27:15.000
I'm going to give you another one in five minutes.
00:27:28.000
And I didn't eat since, because I've got to clear out, because I've got issues.
00:27:31.000
So I woke up, and I had the water, and I had a double shot of espresso.
00:27:36.000
And I was a little down last night, because I had too much, whatever, edible.
00:27:43.000
So I was a little like, I hope I'm not like this tomorrow.
00:27:47.000
And now I had that and the coffee, so this is what you get.
00:27:52.000
You were talking about coming up with a name for us.
00:28:15.000
I was going to say like the OGs, but that's too serious.
00:28:44.000
No, you don't want to let the people be involved.
00:29:05.000
Because I remember I'm the furthest thing from a horseman.
00:29:15.000
You'll be on a stallion and me and Joe will be on like ponies and shit.
00:29:30.000
They use them to bite wolves and coyotes and shit.
00:29:43.000
People like them when they travel through the mountains because a mule won't go anywhere where it's not safe.
00:30:04.000
You gotta not stand behind those motherfuckers, though.
00:30:23.000
A mule is a cross between a horse and a donkey.
00:30:27.000
Yeah, but wouldn't you think that the hyena would fuck this thing up?
00:30:30.000
Yeah, you would think so, but it looks like that hyena is fucking tranquilized.
00:30:43.000
That seems pretty violent on the donkey's part.
00:30:52.000
I think it recognizes that that's a predator and it wants it to fuck away from it.
00:31:11.000
Maybe the hyena and the donkey will get along, but probably not.
00:31:20.000
But if they kick you, man, so there's a video of these beautiful horses, man, and they're in this corral, and this one horse just starts kicking, and he just kicks the other horse in the head, and the head- And it dies?
00:31:41.000
There's times I'm in the fucking bathroom like an hour at a clip in the middle of the night.
00:31:45.000
All I do is watch those fucking Animals on Animals fucking...
00:31:52.000
I'm either watching like the world-style hip-hop fights.
00:32:03.000
But this dude is on the ground and he's basically like fighting this guy.
00:32:09.000
It looks like there was some sort of a traffic altercation.
00:32:11.000
And the guy who's on the ground has a dude and he's like setting up a heel hook.
00:32:17.000
And then the other guy comes over and punches him and then they separate him.
00:32:20.000
And when they separated him, the dude who's on the ground, who's like holding the guy like he's gonna set up a heel hook, pulls a gun out and shoots him in the dick.
00:32:48.000
You gotta see it because I had to watch it because it's an Instagram reel.
00:32:52.000
I had to watch it a couple of times just to try to figure out what exactly was going on.
00:32:58.000
I always like to see what's going on out there, you know?
00:33:05.000
Get us, get us score with some other shit, Jamie.
00:33:11.000
Was this chick up there last time or am I fucking crazy?
00:33:21.000
So this horse, it just kicks that horse's head.
00:33:33.000
Bro, you get hit by one of those, you might as well get shot.
00:33:37.000
That's a hoof at the end of an 800-pounder beast.
00:33:42.000
Okay, now show the guy getting shot in the dick.
00:33:50.000
There's this amazing restaurant in Montreal called Joe Beef.
00:34:11.000
Yeah, we used to get a list of what we could put on there, what we wanted, and he put horse meat on his list, and we was like, what the fuck?
00:34:20.000
That's all those dudes up north in Canada, you know?
00:34:58.000
And the best is, it looks like they're doing a little, alright.
00:35:12.000
Dude, keep that shit between you and Tom Segura.
00:35:35.000
You gotta really try to avoid everything in the street.
00:35:42.000
That's what I always tell Dean Thomas, the troublemaker.
00:35:51.000
Every time we do a show, he almost gets in a fight.
00:35:57.000
But second of all, we did that fucking cold plunge.
00:36:03.000
Let me ask you something about the degrees of that, because I'm thinking about adding this into my routine.
00:36:09.000
I swear, man, because I start my day with a steam.
00:36:11.000
I'm thinking about putting a small one in my locker room upstairs in my thing.
00:36:38.000
Alright, next question is, did you build up to that?
00:37:00.000
He was quiet and then once in a while you hear like a Goggins come out of him like I can handle this Fucking I just wouldn't shut the fuck up He wouldn't shut the fuck up.
00:37:11.000
I was thinking to myself, he shut the fuck up, I can't concentrate in this.
00:37:15.000
I had to keep myself, I wanted to jump the fuck out.
00:37:26.000
I'm pretty sure he told me he does it at like 50 degrees.
00:37:34.000
I don't think it has the same amount of an effect, probably, but I'm just guessing.
00:37:42.000
If you did like 50 degrees for like five minutes, maybe that's the same as like 34 degrees for three minutes or two minutes.
00:37:53.000
I like the part where I don't want to do it and then I do it.
00:38:00.000
Like, that's the last thing that I want to do when I wake up.
00:38:09.000
Imagine if all day you were thinking about, oh, I got to do it.
00:38:14.000
It's also, you know you don't want to do it, and yet you did it.
00:38:21.000
So I bought one, but I purposely didn't put it together yet.
00:38:27.000
Just so I had to look at that motherfucker and make myself look like a bitch.
00:38:33.000
I think it's an easy thing to add to my morning routine.
00:38:47.000
I like getting my head straight, but I don't like smelling bad, so I like to, like, afterwards.
00:39:03.000
As long as I'm not fucking craving, like, Marlboros if I get off this shit or something.
00:39:08.000
I'm not going to want to fucking want nicotine, am I? Or need it?
00:39:16.000
I'm saying if I stop the zit, am I going to want more of it?
00:39:20.000
Well, I don't know how your body works, but a lot of people get addicted to it.
00:39:24.000
Well, thanks for turning me on to it, you fucking crack pusher.
00:39:34.000
But I think, you know, you got to be careful if you're one of those guys.
00:39:37.000
Well, I mean, how many of them do you take a day?
00:39:42.000
Nicotine prevents the formation in the test tube of protein clumps linked to Alzheimer's disease, scientists announced at a press conference today.
00:39:57.000
The finding may provide a useful starting point for developing drugs that delay or prevent the disease.
00:40:03.000
Research is quick to caution, however, that harmful effects of smoking, strengthened by a report in science last week, linking a carcinogen byproduct of cigarette smoke to a specific kind of lung tumor, far outweigh any possible benefit from nicotine and tobacco.
00:40:26.000
So it's a substance that's been shown to enhance cognitive function.
00:40:32.000
It's one of the things that, like, Stephen King said when he stopped smoking.
00:40:35.000
He said that was one of the hardest things for his writing.
00:40:37.000
He said, like, his synapses didn't fire as fast.
00:40:43.000
Nicotine's cognitive effects have gained significant attention in recent decades, and some non-smokers have even started using nicotine gum or patches as a nootropic.
00:40:53.000
Research has shown that nicotine can speed up reaction time, improve working memory, and enhance focus and attention.
00:41:06.000
Let's get ready to say, take it before you play.
00:41:12.000
I think I'm going to go up with the alpha brain.
00:41:15.000
I'm interested in anything that gives you a positive effect on your brain.
00:41:24.000
Anything that has a positive effect on your life.
00:41:32.000
Yeah, I used to take the Alpha Brain all the time.
00:41:51.000
It takes me a few days to go through one packet.
00:41:59.000
Yeah, I'll take one, two, three a day, four a day if I feel like it, yeah.
00:42:06.000
Yeah, but I do like to know that I can take days off.
00:42:13.000
Do you use it before a podcast or before you do a show?
00:42:21.000
This is also the same reason why I drink coffee a lot.
00:42:24.000
I'm trying to keep my brain going if I'm talking to really smart people.
00:42:27.000
I was happy when I saw that guy and he was telling me what I should...
00:42:40.000
So after I saw the guy and he gave me the sample, I go, all right, listen, I'm going to knock this thing out.
00:42:49.000
Now, real quick, does the shit in the box go to a doctor or to a holistic doctor?
00:42:54.000
No, they come and pick it up and then they go to a lab and then he gets the results.
00:43:01.000
We wanted to find out what's the definition of holistic.
00:43:04.000
The problem might be in just that people have co-opted that term and use that term holistic for a bunch of hippie shit.
00:43:20.000
You know, when I met the guy, I'm like, again, I was expecting half a hippie, and he seemed...
00:43:25.000
Characterized by the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole.
00:43:33.000
Characterized as a treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors rather than just the symptoms of an illness.
00:43:40.000
Many people conclude that holistic medicines are beneficial.
00:43:45.000
Like, when I hear that word, holistic, I think bullshit art.
00:43:52.000
But if you're talking about medicine, it totally makes sense.
00:44:01.000
Him and my wife, you know, because he wanted her there because, you know, I'm like a bad kid.
00:44:07.000
And I don't know what he's going to tell me to eat and shit.
00:44:15.000
So when we went on there, he was showing me all the stuff that...
00:44:19.000
Well first, let me tell you how I took the shit first.
00:44:21.000
So I was afraid of taking the shit because you never know how it comes out and I was really like, I didn't know where to do it.
00:44:42.000
I like to keep stuff somewhat spicy with me and my wife, so I don't want to do that.
00:45:02.000
You really gotta make sure your wrist stays parallel.
00:45:06.000
If you get a little accidental dip in your shit, then you gotta scoop that back off the tile.
00:45:19.000
But I have to know what's going on with my gut.
00:45:22.000
So after I took the shit, you gotta, it's almost like, and it really ruined my love of Nutella, because I used to always like the fucking little scoops with the, because you gotta take a little spoon, In your shit, and he goes, make sure you get different signs of it.
00:45:40.000
So I'm in there, and you gotta put it in a little vial.
00:45:53.000
And then you put it in an envelope and you ship it off.
00:45:58.000
And then when they seen the stuff that was highlighted in the red zone, like what is going to be affecting my gut?
00:46:04.000
I think he said there was like a parasite thing in there.
00:46:23.000
But there was also like a big bacteria in there, you know?
00:46:26.000
So the clear of that bacteria, I'm drinking a shake, this thorn-type shake.
00:46:31.000
I don't know if it's called thorn, but it's that.
00:46:45.000
Because it took me forever to do that shit in the box.
00:46:51.000
Ari Shafir was on Legion of Skanks, this podcast they do.
00:47:16.000
They open up this Tupperware, and the smell is just...
00:47:27.000
There's nothing worse than the smell of human shit.
00:47:35.000
Like, when you take a horrific shit, and then someone in your family goes in there after you, and you're like, I'm so sorry.
00:47:58.000
He comes out of the fucking bathroom, dry heaving, his eyes watering from his own shit.
00:49:09.000
He's fucking smiling Like a brown dad Oh my god Look at him It is funny though He's a psycho He's the best Ari is the best.
00:49:38.000
Well, you're still rolling, even with the new knee, right?
00:49:50.000
The problem is, I was rolling with one of my buddies Abe, my black belt Abe, and I'd always meet up with him because we have nice training sessions.
00:49:58.000
And it's not, I don't think it's my knee as much.
00:50:01.000
Remember I told you I tore my quad in the rehab?
00:50:03.000
Like I was stepping down too high and I tore that shit, so it's a little deformed.
00:50:08.000
And when I went to butterfly sweep them, something popped on the outside.
00:50:12.000
Like if I show you my leg, it's something on that knee.
00:50:15.000
And I don't know what I strained or what I pulled.
00:50:25.000
Do you do any of that like knees over toes stuff?
00:50:30.000
I've seen guys do it and it seems like it works.
00:50:36.000
There's a guy, Knees over toes guy on Instagram, and this dude had gone through a bunch of knee surgeries and, you know, like real problems and realized that part of the problem was he wasn't strengthening all the stabilizing muscles all in and around his knee.
00:50:51.000
With like tibia raises and with those step downs and walking backwards on a treadmill.
00:51:00.000
Yeah, and Nordic curls when you're lying on your chest and you bring your body up only with your legs.
00:51:11.000
But those Nordic curls are so fucking hard to do.
00:51:14.000
Like when you first do it, you're like, oh my god, this is crazy.
00:51:17.000
So the whole idea is about strengthening all the muscles that stabilize the knee, and most people are just using the leg, and they're hoping that all that work gets done.
00:51:26.000
But if you really want to make your legs really strong, where the knees are really stable, you really want to do things that stabilize that.
00:51:34.000
I mean, think about how much of a knee injury puts you out.
00:51:37.000
Every elite athlete should be doing this kind of shit.
00:51:41.000
Like, I have pretty bad patella tendinitis in my left knee, and it's helped pretty much eliminate it.
00:51:46.000
Yeah, it's pretty impressive stuff, and this guy gives it all away for free because his philosophy was, look, if I was an 11-year-old that had a knee injury, I would want this available to me.
00:52:06.000
I mean, my knees feel so much better when doing that.
00:52:18.000
That's where I got to get on that slant board and step off and touch your heel to the floor, too.
00:52:26.000
You use the sled, the backwards, walking backwards with the sled?
00:52:35.000
So that worked, because I got no meniscus in my left knee.
00:52:46.000
You looked in any like Gel 1 or Synvisc 2, like sometimes you can get a shot that'll help with some of that.
00:52:52.000
It only lasts four to six months, but it's better than having your knee grind.
00:52:56.000
I got one of those once and it didn't really seem to help me.
00:53:00.000
Yeah, mine I liked and then I got the stem cells.
00:53:03.000
But I've talked to people that had no meniscus at all and they got one of those things and I was like my knee was brand new again for months.
00:53:10.000
I had a guy, he's a firefighter, my buddy Carl, his knee was jacked and he's the one that told me about the gel one and all and he was doing it and it allowed him to come back and train and everything and eventually insurance wouldn't pay for the shot but they would pay for his knee replacement.
00:53:32.000
The thing with those knees, though, me and you last night, I'm not doing that without my new knee.
00:53:39.000
I'd go to Tropicana for a fight, and I'd be with my buddy, and we'd have to stop every...
00:53:51.000
That's why I'm not getting the other one done until I have to.
00:53:55.000
My problem was anytime I would injure something, I would not give it enough time.
00:54:10.000
See, I don't like to do all those exercises and shit.
00:54:22.000
You two would be the greatest reality show of all time.
00:54:42.000
Just always is there helping people for the right reasons.
00:54:47.000
Nowadays, there's a bunch of fucking whores out there.
00:54:55.000
When you guys were in the corner, it's fucking amazing.
00:55:11.000
It's a little weird now with the whole team, man.
00:55:16.000
Times change and stuff, but everybody's out in Vegas now.
00:55:20.000
I mean, everybody's doing well, so we're all happy for everybody, but like...
00:55:24.000
Vegas is very tempting for young fighters and it's and I don't blame them like well the facility really I think is gonna pull people out the PI all your food is taken care of and you have the most sophisticated training environment Available on earth and if there's something better they're gonna get it whatever the fuck it is and they say I mean it's a beautiful thing I think it's fantastic the only thing I think it sucks for is that you have these guys who are coming up and Yeah,
00:56:18.000
But I think in a perfect world, they collaborate.
00:56:22.000
I think in a perfect world, that's how you do it, right?
00:56:26.000
I mean, that's what Greg Jackson and Farah Sahabi and all those guys did when they were trading fighters back and forth, and they all trained together.
00:56:34.000
But you never leave your original team if they're good.
00:56:37.000
If it works out and you have a relationship with them, you figure it out together.
00:56:41.000
Unless you're trapped in a too small of an environment and your coach is just not able to fit the needs of like, you know, there's some guys that are just super talented, but they start out in the middle of nowhere.
00:56:53.000
And, you know, they don't have a real good gym.
00:56:55.000
The guy doesn't really know the high level shit.
00:56:57.000
I think that's the best thing ever for the fighters.
00:57:00.000
Yeah, I'm in Vegas all the time, and I'm working with all kind of fighters, and I would never ask anybody to leave their team.
00:57:06.000
In fact, I'm like, listen, I'll give you any information you want, but you can't leave your team.
00:57:18.000
But it also creates a conflict where the conflict's not necessary, right?
00:57:22.000
It's because he's for sure getting new information.
00:57:26.000
Getting new information from training with everybody.
00:57:28.000
You're on a path, but you're on a path with the people that you started the path with.
00:57:34.000
Even if you're in this new place, maybe you're enhancing your education, you're getting better at fighting.
00:57:42.000
And you want what's best for them if you really care for them.
00:57:50.000
Like, I'm not gonna be in a corner with somebody, and I could like them, but, you know, me and Longo, what we did is with me and Longo, some local kids, there's a time when it's like, alright, Al's from Wantor, Weidman's from Baldwin, they're all local kids.
00:58:07.000
This one's taking out the best of Brazil, this one's, we're going to Australia, Al's fucking up this guy in London.
00:58:22.000
In other words, I want to make these guys the best they can, but once it gets to a certain degree now where it's like, alright man, this guy's going to be in the corner, and this...
00:58:30.000
Alright, well now that you guys are calling the shots...
00:58:33.000
You don't need me no more, because I'm not going to be fucking in there.
00:59:01.000
When he was carrying Henry Cejudo with his tongue out.
00:59:21.000
Marab, the thing is with Marab, I've never seen, in all my years, I've never seen a gas tank like that.
00:59:34.000
You generally associate really high-level endurance with guys that maybe don't have the kind of power he has.
00:59:42.000
If you watched his fight with Marlon Morales...
00:59:44.000
Not only did he get dropped, it was almost about to get stopped.
00:59:49.000
But then it was almost, by the end of the round, not only did he recover, he was beating the shit out of him.
00:59:54.000
Like, just beating, it almost ended in the other way.
01:00:21.000
It was hard for him to get down to that weight.
01:00:28.000
Yeah, but, man, he'll strangle guys the size of Rallo.
01:00:36.000
But I always felt that he had really good endurance for a guy who cuts that much weight.
01:00:47.000
When he strangled Corey Sanhagen, I was like, holy shit.
01:00:53.000
So I've been working with him a little bit, just talking to him.
01:00:59.000
And that was a big part for him at 35. Half of his camp was just making weight.
01:01:06.000
And as he puts it, do you think there should be more weight classes?
01:01:13.000
I think they should have been back in fucking 2001. I was a fucking tweeter, man.
01:01:24.000
But 170, imagine me now at 170 with fucking MVPs and all these motherfuckers.
01:01:30.000
And I, first of all, people are shitting on that guy.
01:01:35.000
Hey, what did you think of his, I liked his, everybody's shitting on him.
01:01:39.000
Listen, that's what he, that's what I always was saying, telling people.
01:01:43.000
I was telling people those point fighters, the guys who are elite at that skill of blitzing in, that's a very specific skill and it's hard to handle.
01:01:51.000
And if you're just used to guys Muay Thai-ing you, and then some guy is doing that, it's wild, wild to deal with.
01:01:59.000
No, when I trained Tyron for Wonderboy, we brought in karate people.
01:02:03.000
We went to karate schools looking for the best karate guys.
01:02:07.000
Just to be able to deal with that aspect of the fight.
01:02:10.000
Yeah, well, I still think Wonderboy won, so what do you think about that?
01:02:12.000
I think Tyron handled Wonderboy better than anybody in Wonderboy's prime.
01:02:17.000
I think he handled him better than anybody because he just waited on him.
01:02:20.000
He did a lot of waiting on him, but he fucked him up.
01:02:26.000
And, you know, Wonderboy was the guy thought to be the striker.
01:02:29.000
I saw some highlights of Michael Page, Michael Venom Page from Bella Tar, but I never really watched.
01:02:35.000
I just don't know when they're on, to be honest.
01:02:46.000
In his first fight in the UFC, he jumped into the deep end of the pool with a real dangerous guy who's got one-punch knockout power from his fucking back.
01:02:56.000
Remember that shit when he knocked down Jacare from his back?
01:02:58.000
Hey, it's the first guy in there, whoever fucking Kevin Holland, Kevin Holland.
01:03:04.000
Like, Kevin Holland's usually talking shit, winning or losing.
01:03:15.000
Yeah, I like to hear a lot of times when they go back to the corner...
01:03:18.000
Dude, he was mentally beat after the first round, it really sounded like.
01:03:22.000
You can't hit that guy, and when you get close, he's so creative.
01:03:25.000
Those spinning elbows he kept hitting him with.
01:03:41.000
It's that that ability to move in and out in his footwork is so sensational It's like that is a different thing to deal with It's like wrestlers if you're if you're used to grappling on your knees only and then all of a sudden you have to wrestle Big difference.
01:03:56.000
It's kind of like that these guys their their ability to close distance in that sideways stance Machida heads Wonderboy did it the best UFC. Yeah Wonderboy did some wild shit in the UFC It's such a different style.
01:04:11.000
And my little Jimmy Bird is always like, they keep their hands down.
01:04:19.000
And this was like after Jake Ellenberger had said, he's not going to hit me with any of that fancy spinning shit.
01:04:38.000
He's handsome and wholesome, and he's just a sweet, sweet guy.
01:04:46.000
And then he's fucking piecing you up and you're like, oh no!
01:04:53.000
What he did with Jeff Neal was he pretended to be his friend.
01:05:06.000
And you get confused by the way he looks and how nice he talks.
01:05:13.000
Probably the greatest karate fighter that's ever fought in MMA. He's so good.
01:05:20.000
He was another guy that was like an elite point fighting guy that's also a kickboxer that fought in Glory.
01:05:31.000
He spins in the air and KOs the guy with one punch.
01:05:36.000
You think a kick is coming and then he just goes whack.
01:05:59.000
And in Bellator, he has one of the wildest knockouts.
01:06:02.000
In Glory, in Glory Kickboxing, he has this touch side kick, jump spinning back kick to the face KO. You know, high level kickboxing match, man.
01:06:35.000
And Raymond Daniels and Michael Venom Page fought, I believe, back in the day in a point-fighting match.
01:06:42.000
So those guys that can cover distance like that, that's a different thing, man.
01:06:47.000
I like that he's part of the UFC because there's so many nice matchups.
01:06:51.000
At first, I was liking maybe him versus Wonderboy.
01:06:55.000
Then I was thinking about it more, and I'm like, wait a minute.
01:07:16.000
Good luck finding anybody to emulate that shit in camp.
01:07:21.000
Also, if your whole life is spent fighting at a certain pace and a certain distance, and all of a sudden this guy moves it by 30%.
01:07:33.000
He's way back here, and he's standing in front of you, and he's moving around.
01:07:37.000
And you try to close the distance, and they're just so fast.
01:07:40.000
You remember when Lyoto Machida knocked out Ryan Bader?
01:07:43.000
Ryan Bader's trying to close the distance, and we were just planting a left hand on him.
01:07:50.000
It was like that style is very hard to deal with if someone's really good at it and they can do the other shit too.
01:08:13.000
I mean, I would assume it is, otherwise he wouldn't be jumping back in.
01:08:21.000
How many months ago did Jamal Hill injure his Achilles?
01:08:42.000
So August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March.
01:09:06.000
He assures Achilles injury fully healed ahead of UFC 300. It's not a problem at all.
01:09:11.000
Hey, man, I don't think he gets enough props, first of all.
01:09:28.000
People underestimate him for some strange reason.
01:09:44.000
Show me somebody that did something to him standing up.
01:09:50.000
I think Alex is going to be so confident You know, shit happens.
01:09:55.000
But I think Alex is going to be so confident because of all his kickboxing and everything else that with these little gloves, I think Jamal's going to surprise him.
01:10:05.000
Jamal's a one-punch knockout striker at light heavyweight for sure, and he's a big, tall dude, and he knows movement.
01:10:21.000
I mean, a lot of people are picking Pajeda to run him over.
01:10:31.000
Dude, I think this is going to be a great fight.
01:10:33.000
The thing about Behata, though, is he's ultra high-level.
01:10:38.000
Like, people just think about only his power, and you only think about, like, because he's got the most insane touch of death.
01:10:48.000
But when you see his movement and that sneaky shit he does where he gets that calf kick off, you don't see...
01:10:58.000
And when he checks his kicks, he doesn't check them.
01:11:05.000
He lifts his shin up so you're just sliding under it.
01:11:08.000
And he's coming down with a right hand every time.
01:11:14.000
I think the speed of Jamal Hill is going to be the difference.
01:11:17.000
As long as he has it and that Achilles doesn't hinder him.
01:11:20.000
Yeah, well, goddamn it would suck if he came in at 70%.
01:11:27.000
Because the thing is, there's got to be a lot of pressure to be UFC 300. And you might be, I can do it, I can do it.
01:11:37.000
I just hope they for sure got him some stem cells.
01:11:39.000
And I would imagine, you know, he's an elite UFC world championship caliber athlete.
01:11:47.000
I mean, he's fighting for his title, essentially, right?
01:11:54.000
I bet he only gave it up because Uri gave it up, too.
01:11:56.000
I mean, it's basic what he said when he gave it up.
01:12:01.000
Said Uri got out of the way, I'm going to get out of the way, I'm not going to hold up.
01:12:05.000
And that's why I like them guys, because what other division would do that?
01:12:13.000
Even Uri, who thought the fight was prematurely stopped, he wouldn't say it inside the octagon.
01:12:21.000
I hate when guys are bitching right afterwards, or they start talking about the injuries they had and everything.
01:12:29.000
When you watch that one, you're like, ooh, you could have one or two more seconds.
01:12:35.000
Close, but I thought it was a fair stoppage, too.
01:12:50.000
Yeah, Aaron Rodgers, he was practicing quite a bit.
01:12:53.000
It was like five months in already, out there throwing and shit.
01:12:57.000
He said his strength of the leg wasn't the same, his ability to push off it wasn't the same, but he said it was getting a lot better.
01:13:03.000
I just don't want Jamal to be compromised in any way in that fight.
01:13:08.000
Yeah, but like I said, man, his speed and his instincts and his vision, it's just different.
01:13:13.000
And he's got that boxing punching set where he throws straight, where, you know, Pajeda's a little loopier.
01:13:22.000
Well, Pajeda does fight with his hands way low, too, and he kind of like lures guys into these slugfests because he's got such insane counterpower.
01:13:30.000
His one loss, Jamal Hill, is from that fucking armlock triangle from Paul Craig.
01:13:36.000
Paul Craig has one of the most dangerous guards in any fucking division.
01:13:49.000
How does he got wins over Jamal Hill and Ankoliyev?
01:13:55.000
His guard is what everybody's guard should strive to be.
01:13:58.000
That's what I love and it'll never go out of style no matter what happens with jiu-jitsu.
01:14:04.000
At my school I have everybody doing the latest fucking leg locks to this and that.
01:14:07.000
This is a horrible one because he broke his arm too.
01:14:27.000
You remember what it looked like when it was going backwards?
01:14:31.000
I think he's winning the fight, to be honest with you.
01:14:43.000
I can see a bunch of scenarios going both ways.
01:14:52.000
Stand with like almost like a boxing stance sometimes.
01:14:56.000
I wonder how good he's gonna be of getting away from the calf kick.
01:14:59.000
That is such a primary weapon in Pajeras because he's so fucking sneaky with it.
01:15:04.000
And even though everybody knows that he's sneaky with it, it's still hard.
01:15:13.000
For a young guy, he's very cerebral and I think he understands that that might be a problem.
01:15:25.000
He's got all these combinations that he sets up that are based on your reaction to certain movements.
01:15:31.000
And he repeats these patterns in fights and it's always surprising.
01:15:35.000
The way he's able to land those things is so surprising.
01:15:43.000
And then you're fucked and I hit really hard and you're not gonna be able to get out of the way.
01:15:48.000
Did you ever get hit with one of those calf kicks?
01:15:57.000
I did before they were a thing, and I think it was my fight against Josh Near.
01:16:01.000
He seemed like the dude who would use a calf kick.
01:16:06.000
I think it was an accident, and he kicked me in a calf, and I swear I thought my leg was broke.
01:16:26.000
I guarantee you, if they do some bone density, he's got some fucking Viking rock bones.
01:16:36.000
Hey, but what about the BMF? I'm interested in that too.
01:16:55.000
Can I just say that they were basing a lot of that shit on his fight versus Dustin Poirier.
01:16:59.000
And if you hear Max talk about it, he had only six weeks to prepare for that thing.
01:17:10.000
I was there, we were there live, when he fought Calvin Cater.
01:17:25.000
He put a real beating on Calvin that takes a long time to recover from.
01:17:30.000
I mean, the amount of punches that he landed on Calvin were insane.
01:17:34.000
My thing with the Dustin and Max fight was I thought Dustin just physically bullied him around the ring.
01:17:41.000
It looked like there was a strength advantage there, and I think that's going to be a problem.
01:17:45.000
If my perception's right, then that would be a problem because I think Justin's stronger and more of a bully, and his leg kicks, which Max never seems to check.
01:17:59.000
Because he had a problem with that with Volkanovski.
01:18:01.000
And the thing about Gaethje is Gaethje lands them in the clinch.
01:18:19.000
And Calvin Cater, I mean, he's a fucking dangerous dude.
01:18:29.000
I told you, old Binky Jones-type cater back in the day.
01:18:42.000
One of the reasons why I'm interested in this is because I think Max is going to go into this fight with a tremendous amount of Anticipation.
01:18:50.000
This is not a fight that you don't get real scared about.
01:18:53.000
This is a fight you gotta really fucking prepare.
01:18:56.000
And when Max gets pushed, you see the best Max.
01:19:05.000
We really kind of put aside when a guy loses the title that maybe they're not as good as they used to be.
01:19:14.000
I mean, let's think about when he was going to fight Habib on 24 hours notice or whatever it was.
01:19:29.000
And he talked openly about why guys like Conor, why those guys gas out.
01:19:36.000
And he's like, they don't have that kind of power!
01:20:22.000
I bet Guy Ritchie's on speed dial with him right now.
01:20:25.000
I mean, but all he had was a lot of one-liners, so it's easy to deliver one-liners, right?
01:20:33.000
If The Rock can do it, you don't think Conor McGregor could do it?
01:20:44.000
I like the part in the movie when he takes the trolley and he throws it into the...
01:21:13.000
Yeah, if you like corny movies and just want to be entertained, it's the perfect movie.
01:21:28.000
That old dude with the mustache from Yellowstone, right?
01:21:46.000
Why didn't they just get fucking actual Sam Elliott?
01:21:52.000
Patrick Swayze's dead, but have actual Sam Elliott come back?
01:21:57.000
Who's a handsome fellow back then with that salt and pepper hair?
01:22:23.000
Listen, we talked about Star Wars a little bit.
01:23:07.000
I'm telling you right now, Josh Brolin's, first of all, I don't think Josh, from Goonies to that, he's never in anything bad, Josh Brolin.
01:23:17.000
I like the, you know, he could do a couple push-ups, but I like the Timothy Chamele.
01:23:31.000
He also did Blade Runner, the new Blade Runner, which is another very underrated movie.
01:23:37.000
These are popular, but Blade Runner is underrated, the new one.
01:23:46.000
But Dune 1 and Dune Part 2. Oh, he did Arrival, too.
01:23:55.000
Arrival's the one where the alien ships show up.
01:24:12.000
In the first one, I don't want to give it away, but the guy he fights at the end of it is a guy I had a jujitsu match versus this Babs.
01:24:26.000
If you put in Matt versus Babs, you see me throw the fucking guy.
01:24:36.000
The Freeman's on Arrakis, and they're on these desert planets, and these big giant worms.
01:24:44.000
Joe, you look like, when I say all this shit, you're looking at me like you want to unfriend me.
01:24:56.000
I went versus him in a jiu-jitsu match, and Minotaur was the ref.
01:25:00.000
Was that at NAGA? Yeah, it's NAGA in 1996. If you put in Matt versus Babs, you don't have to.
01:25:20.000
But yeah, I mean, you can fold it a little bit.
01:25:23.000
After I mount him and he gets up, this is back in the day, yo.
01:25:50.000
I did almost have that, but Henzo got happy for this because he worked on me with this fucking throw.
01:25:57.000
This was when I was a brown belt and he was a purple.
01:26:00.000
Watch one more second because I do a nice back take.
01:26:03.000
No, I want Joe to see it, because Joe likes Jiu Jitsu.
01:26:06.000
Look, this was our team versus the Alliance team back in the day.
01:26:13.000
I said the same thing on Gomi, but it looks cool.
01:26:16.000
Because what happens is, you go first, and it's almost like a second later for him to go, so it looks cool.
01:26:37.000
But back to the movies, you're gonna love these movies, man.
01:26:52.000
But I don't believe Timothee Chalamet has beaten this guy in anything other than checkers.
01:27:07.000
You know how in Star Wars, like The Force and all that stuff, Dune by Frank Herbert.
01:27:14.000
John Rollins like, I want to throw you in a locker.
01:27:20.000
So listen, these books came out in the 70s, and George Lucas took a lot from this.
01:27:27.000
They used something called The Voice, that they control people instead of The Force and shit like that.
01:27:36.000
I gotta be honest, I like The Force a lot more than The Voice.
01:27:40.000
Well, you're thinking of The Voice with that synergy with you.
01:27:46.000
But you seem like the type of guy that likes to be outside and hunting and catching shit with your hands.
01:27:55.000
If you spend too much time watching movies, it's like time you can't be actually doing actual things.
01:28:02.000
If I'm going to watch a movie, it's like, I busted my ass all week.
01:28:08.000
To kill boredom, my family went to Texas recently, Dallas, to go visit my sister-in-law, and I was by myself.
01:28:15.000
When you have three kids and a wife, and you've got a routine, It's different when there's nobody home and shit.
01:28:27.000
When you go to the movies by yourself in Long Island, it feels different than the city.
01:28:32.000
It's like some fucking creeper rubbing his dick in the middle of a Goonies movie.
01:29:03.000
Yeah, just VR. You're much better off doing what you're doing.
01:29:09.000
And let me tell you, I didn't tell you this last time, Joe.
01:29:20.000
I was like, what is Matt Sarah doing in his house?
01:29:28.000
A husband of a guy who was a world champion decides to just start fighting?
01:29:34.000
You know, but she never threw a punch when I won the title.
01:29:40.000
I said, it's like the opposite of her personality, man.
01:29:45.000
And then she'd do the kickboxing between each daughter to lose weight.
01:29:49.000
And then she took a kickboxing match under Lou Neglia, our buddy, who I used to fight on there, you know?
01:30:16.000
That's when Dana used to say, oh, it looks like you ate Matzara, you fuck.
01:30:25.000
Longo's the one who greeted her at the fucking thing.
01:30:27.000
Because, I mean, look, she's fighting a purple belt from Virginia here.
01:30:30.000
And again, she never did any kind of sports in high school.
01:30:34.000
I mean, if you see her standing up, she's like doing a fucking clinic, man.
01:30:38.000
She snaps down, she takes the back, and you know, she's a blue belt, she fought a purple belt, it was always that last, that chance of the girl...
01:30:55.000
And now I'm saving myself from all the shit I said earlier about the fucking girls with the fucking...
01:31:04.000
What a crazy aspiration at that age just to decide, fuck it.
01:31:10.000
But I saw clips of your daughter helping her train.
01:31:22.000
Yeah, he didn't drag them in and say, I'll do this.
01:31:27.000
My oldest just left dance to pursue it full time.
01:31:29.000
And now she's got a jujitsu max next month at the same place with my wife for it.
01:31:39.000
And again, what I found with having a kid is you can't make them love it, but you can make them hate it.
01:31:46.000
I used to always just play with them, play with them, but now they're living at the school.
01:32:08.000
So what are the other interesting fights on 300?
01:32:33.000
That Saryukian dude is a dangerous motherfucker, but so is Oliveira.
01:32:37.000
Oliveira is the wildest turnaround of any fighter of all time.
01:32:42.000
At one point in time, he would fall short a lot.
01:32:44.000
He taps the strikes to Paul Felder, and then comes back and just knocks everybody out.
01:32:53.000
A different human being was reborn inside of his body.
01:32:57.000
Because he was known, not known for it, but he was known to be able to break.
01:33:18.000
That Chandler one was crazy, too, because he got hurt real bad in the first round.
01:33:23.000
It's just also the power that he has is very unusual.
01:33:37.000
I fell for Benio on that fight, man, because Benio was doing so...
01:33:40.000
Like, Benio wasn't afraid to face him down there.
01:33:42.000
A lot of guys are afraid to go down there with him to the floor.
01:33:46.000
And, you know, rightfully so, because I just watched recently his fight with Kevin Lee again.
01:33:52.000
And Kevin Lee thought he'd be okay down there, and fuck, man, you're fighting to get out of an arm, he's on your neck, out of the neck, he's on your leg.
01:34:00.000
That was the one when Kevin didn't realize he went out.
01:34:09.000
I think he will take him down and I wonder how that's going to go.
01:34:16.000
If Charles is able to get on top of him like Gamrot was able to control him on the ground.
01:34:28.000
Charles kind of whacked Benil too in the first round.
01:34:38.000
Isn't it crazy that you got Bo Nickel, who's only had how many MMA fights?
01:34:52.000
I don't like how he talks about already accomplished fighters who've been through it.
01:34:59.000
Like, I mean, he's always talking about, oh, me and Kamzat will be an easy fight, and this, that, and the third.
01:35:04.000
I'm like, yo, dude, like, you got four fights, and you got help with those fights.
01:35:09.000
And we haven't seen you get stuck on your feet.
01:35:11.000
I mean, yeah, I mean, but the thing is, like, even his opponents, like, you know, Jamie Pickett, like, even Cody Brunches, Cody Brunches is known to fold in fights.
01:35:24.000
I mean, you could bring him along, but if you're in that position, don't talk about guys that had to go through it.
01:35:30.000
But isn't it interesting that some fighters, they decide to bring along?
01:36:01.000
155. There's no way she doesn't make the way she's a complete professional, but how she performs is going to be tough.
01:36:15.000
That's a future world champion caliber fighter.
01:36:27.000
Look at all these other fights that aren't on the main card.
01:36:36.000
Davison Figueredo with Cody Garbrandt, that opens up the fights.
01:36:44.000
That is the craziest card of all time in human history.
01:36:47.000
I was shocked when I saw that was the first prelim fight.
01:37:02.000
You think Holly's going to be able to deal with that grappling and the physical strength?
01:37:14.000
I mean, we already saw her do it with Rhonda, not that she's big.
01:37:19.000
I think Ronda's a better grappler than Kayla on the ground, transitioning to submissions and things.
01:37:25.000
I just watched Kayla fight Aspen Ladd and look like dog shit, personally.
01:37:29.000
That's one of my guys on the PFL card, and she struggled.
01:37:34.000
She got swept against that girl and stuff, so I don't think Holly can grapple with her for sure.
01:37:40.000
But I don't think Holly's going to be so easy to take down because she requires the clinch to get her down.
01:37:48.000
I mean, I know she's 42 now, so maybe the age becomes a factor.
01:37:51.000
But if she can just keep range, she's going to win on her feet.
01:38:00.000
And if Holly doesn't feel a threat on her feet, Holly might start lighting her up.
01:38:07.000
I don't know who the girl was, but I don't think she...
01:38:26.000
But if you look at the way she's throwing punches on her feet...
01:38:35.000
But in these grappling exchanges, she's going to be a fucking handful.
01:38:44.000
Well, if she did it right, it might actually help.
01:38:47.000
You know, probably help her gas tank tremendously.
01:38:49.000
Like, in this fight, she never put her in danger.
01:38:53.000
It really just depends on how much muscle she loses, you know?
01:38:57.000
And how much strength training she continues to do.
01:39:00.000
Like, you don't get that big without a lot of strength training.
01:39:04.000
I mean, a lot of it is, of course, judo, right?
01:39:13.000
There's a lot of oxygen to get sucked up by those.
01:39:16.000
That's what's interesting when you watch guys that get older and they get more economical, like Yoel.
01:39:21.000
Got way more economical about how and when to move, but put guys to sleep because they forgot that he could just explode on you at any moment.
01:39:32.000
He would just jump on dudes and you didn't expect it coming.
01:39:37.000
He would chill and just sit back, sit back, sit back.
01:39:46.000
Not to bring that up, but they really fucked Tim Kennedy back in the day for that.
01:40:01.000
He stayed on that stool for like a whole round.
01:40:07.000
And then there's the mental break that comes from thinking that you won, because the guy's not getting off the stool, and then you gotta fight again.
01:40:14.000
And the thing about Yoel is he can catch anybody.
01:40:48.000
Like, look, he goes back, but they gave him all this extra time.
01:40:57.000
They covered him with water or ice, and they have too much Vaseline on his face.
01:41:01.000
There's a bunch of different things, and he just laid there.
01:41:16.000
Because in all fairness, I think when the bell starts, if you're not willing or able to get up...
01:41:39.000
Angelo Dundee did that with Muhammad Ali back when he was Cassius Clay.
01:41:49.000
Henry Cooper was this badass British dude who had a nasty left hook.
01:41:52.000
And he caught Cassius Clay with a perfect left hook.
01:42:14.000
If you can't get off the stool, if you can't get off the stool, that's the end of the fight.
01:42:28.000
But I think, like I said, I think there's a bunch of shenanigans that are involved.
01:42:36.000
But there's a bunch of shit where they did a bunch of things to make sure that the round got extended.
01:42:43.000
Speaking of dirty business, now that you saw this gone, how is this new testing thing?
01:42:57.000
And he got popped, allegedly, I should say, from what the report was that I read on one of the websites.
01:43:02.000
It was like three different things, three different times.
01:43:14.000
Like, we know this stuff really works, but you're not allowed to use it.
01:43:18.000
48 months sanction for two separate violations of the UFC anti-doping policy.
01:43:44.000
Metabolite 3A, hydroxy 2A, methyl 5A, androstan 17-on, and testosterone of exogenous origin.
01:43:52.000
And samples collected on June 24, 2023, July 12, 2023. Harris was notified of the first adverse finding on July 11th of 2020. So they told him that he got popped the first time and then he tested positive the next day.
01:44:09.000
Subsequently, after he was notified of the adverse finding, he provided urine and blood samples on August 6, 2023. Urine samples tested positive for the presence of anastrozolone, a prohibitive substance that was not present in any of the previous samples, as well as drostanolone and its metabolite.
01:44:29.000
His blood samples tested positive for the presence of exogenous testosterone.
01:44:33.000
Which based on its values was determined as a new administration since the notification of his first adverse findings on July 11th.
01:44:47.000
40. He was supposed to fight like four days after that.
01:44:50.000
It seems kind of crazy that he would just take all that stuff knowing that they were going to catch him.
01:44:55.000
Have you ever asked Nowitzki why they made BPC-157 illegal?
01:45:02.000
Because some state regulators, like, you know, athletic commissions, they have it illegal.
01:45:11.000
So if the UFC allows something that the athletic commissions don't allow, it really should be allowed by the athletic commissions.
01:45:19.000
It's all it's doing is helping people heal from injuries.
01:45:23.000
And it's a naturally occurring compound in the human body.
01:45:28.000
So it's something that should be legal, and I think the FDA is trying to stop its use now, too, which is crazy.
01:45:37.000
Well, listen, you fuckheads, just sell it to us.
01:45:50.000
Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff like that that should be legal.
01:45:52.000
The testosterone one, those boys went wild, and they fucked it up for everybody.
01:46:03.000
When you just take testosterone replacement, everybody's like, oh, I definitely have low testosterone.
01:46:09.000
Eric Silva, he was another one that really noticeably changed.
01:46:15.000
Bro, we had guys that were 25 years old that were signing up for testosterone use exemptions.
01:46:20.000
That's gonna fuck them up when they're older though, no?
01:46:23.000
A lot of those guys were already fucked up, because they did juice.
01:46:26.000
So if you're a young guy and you do like a bunch of cycles of juice and you get Gigantor, that is gonna jack up your system.
01:46:36.000
Yeah, so there's dudes that are like 25 years old that have wrecked their endocrine system, and they probably can't have kids.
01:46:45.000
When you see these social media kids that are like 18, 19 years old, and then all of a sudden when they're 22, they've gained 80 pounds of muscle, and they have zits all over their back, and they're fucking huge, and they're getting all this attention because they're massive.
01:47:06.000
You're shocking your system at a very, very young age.
01:47:10.000
When you're on TRT, it's like fucking birth control for men.
01:47:23.000
When I want to have a kid, I don't know if it's because I go Commando forever, I'd have a kid.
01:47:31.000
So I know we were good to go, but ever since I'm on TRT... Isn't it funny?
01:47:36.000
Because the other idea for male birth control is the opposite.
01:47:39.000
There's a male birth control pill that came out that radically lowers testosterone levels.
01:47:52.000
Who have cucked men are going to force them to take that stuff.
01:48:32.000
Trying to be like a young kid in this day and age with social media, trying to be an 18, 19-year-old kid trying to fan your way through life, seeing these juiced-up, gigantic dudes getting attention, and girls with lip fillers at 18 years old, and everybody's got a Ferrari.
01:48:48.000
I think it's harder for them than it was for us, right?
01:48:56.000
Chaos out there, like the guy getting shot in the dick.
01:48:58.000
You see things all the time that was really hard to see when we were kids.
01:49:02.000
Because I only knew motherfuckers in my neighborhood.
01:49:11.000
You only hung out with people in your neighborhood.
01:49:14.000
And if you saw someone on TV that was like in a MTV music video or something like that, like that, okay.
01:49:24.000
But if it's like some guy you know from your school now has a million followers on TikTok, like what?
01:49:35.000
Maybe because I got my kids homeschooled ever since the pandemic because we didn't want them wearing masks and all that shit.
01:49:39.000
My wife's lucky enough that, you know, we're lucky enough she gets to be a stay-at-home mom and whatnot.
01:49:50.000
People being able to see things that they never could see when we were kids.
01:50:00.000
Like, nowadays, if they go to school all day, one, What the fuck are they telling these kids?
01:50:09.000
My friend's kid came home the other day and he's like, oh man, he's 10 years old.
01:50:14.000
He's like, oh dad, so when I grow up I could be a boy or a girl?
01:50:25.000
So I don't know where it is in different school systems, but I didn't like stuff like that.
01:50:33.000
But it just shows you that whatever is socially popular, people will gravitate to and that people will change their behavior based on what gets them more attention.
01:50:47.000
That shit's existed since the beginning of time.
01:50:49.000
Men who feel like they were born in a woman's body.
01:50:51.000
But some of them are getting sucked into a social contagion.
01:51:00.000
If you want street cred, you've got to suck a dick.
01:51:03.000
Whether it's a transgender dick or a regular dick, you've got to experiment and suck a dick if you want some street cred.
01:51:13.000
Today, they've gone to places where 50% of the kids identify as LGBTQA. 50%!
01:51:24.000
If they're not being indoctrinated, then this never happens.
01:51:33.000
And when you look at the people, like, look, if you're going to pay someone 35 grand a year to take care of your kids, they're not going to be good people that are like dominant in their field and really on the ball.
01:51:41.000
You're going to get wacky people teaching kids.
01:51:43.000
And a lot of these people that are teaching kids in public schools that you see making these TikTok videos, they're wacky people that just happen to be in the position where they're running a school.
01:51:52.000
As a parent, though, I think you should just keep them close and just talk to them every day.
01:51:56.000
Yeah, you definitely need to talk to them, but, you know, they're gonna have to talk to other people, too.
01:52:01.000
And there's something about, like, running into really cuckoo people when you're young that's probably good for you, just so you know that they exist.
01:52:09.000
The problem is if they have too much influence over your kid and your kid starts believing things that they're saying and they indoctrinate you into some weird way of thinking that maybe you don't align with in your home and you don't want your child being raised that way, which is your prerogative as a person.
01:52:23.000
But also the kids should be exposed to a lot of weird shit.
01:52:30.000
I think that's where me and Matt have a benefit because we're the kooky people that our kids see.
01:52:39.000
If you're interested in what we're interested in.
01:52:43.000
I always preface things when people ask me my opinions.
01:52:45.000
I'm like, listen, I'm a dirty comedian and a cage fighting commentator.
01:52:49.000
With that said, this is my dumbass perspective.
01:53:04.000
Yeah, that's a person of questionable judgment.
01:53:17.000
Dude, when I was 15, I'm sleeping over Jimmy's house.
01:53:21.000
I'd be walking the fucking streets, fighting and doing stuff.
01:53:30.000
And I think their parents raised them in a different way.
01:53:33.000
It takes a while to understand why your parents raised you the way they raised you.
01:53:41.000
Look, my grandparents were straight up immigrants from Italy and from Ireland.
01:53:48.000
Those people that took a chance and got on that fucking boat and made it across the ocean.
01:53:54.000
And they didn't have a whole lot of time for parenting.
01:53:56.000
You know, and then their kids grew up and had kids and then their kids had kids.
01:54:00.000
It's like it takes a while for everybody to settle down.
01:54:04.000
We have way more information today than ever before, which is probably good for kids.
01:54:09.000
It's good to be aware of all the different types of humans and all the different possibilities of good and bad things that can happen in the world.
01:54:20.000
It's got to be overwhelming to be a kid and to think you've got to worry about climate change and Ukraine and Russia and fucking Mexicans.
01:54:32.000
The phone puts it in their face all day every day.
01:54:38.000
Biden falling down the flight stairs, Trump calling somebody a pussy.
01:54:48.000
If you're an adult and you're not being affected negatively by it.
01:54:52.000
Well, because we, like you said, we come up from a different generation where we didn't grow up doing that.
01:55:03.000
You're in the business of people beating the shit out of each other.
01:55:12.000
Like, I remember coming up, we were talking about before being OGs, like, I remember each fight thinking, alright, this might be the last one, and it's gonna be done.
01:55:23.000
I remember very clearly Eddie Bravo and I were having a conversation, and it's almost like we manifested this.
01:55:32.000
Wouldn't it be crazy if just some fucking billionaire dudes who were fans of the sport just dumped a bunch of money in it just to show everybody, and then it would just catch on.
01:55:43.000
I was like, if somebody just came along, that would work, man.
01:55:47.000
Somebody would have to lose tons and tons of money just to get it out there.
01:56:02.000
They lost like 50, 60 million before they made money.
01:56:06.000
They were down more than 40 million when the first Ultimate Fighter came around.
01:56:14.000
They just rolled the dice and came up double six.
01:56:19.000
Yeah, when you think about the chain of events that had to have to happen.
01:56:24.000
The Fertittas, then the Forrest fight, and then just everything that happened.
01:56:29.000
You have to have a complete maniac running the show.
01:56:34.000
People don't understand how much of a maniac he is.
01:56:46.000
We'll talk at two o'clock in the morning for like hours just about match-ups and shit.
01:56:51.000
Did you see the other day on the podcast when the girls...
01:56:56.000
And she's like, tell me, what does Joe Rogan think of whatever it was?
01:57:11.000
You know that UFC events, like the weeks of the events or when I'm doing a looking for a fight.
01:57:30.000
I've been called Dana before, so I'm doing, it's all Dana!
01:57:41.000
Are they trying to say all bald white guys look alike?
01:57:43.000
When you're doing a podcast and you're interviewing someone, especially if you haven't done a lot of them and it's like a high profile thing, you're doing Dana White, you're always thinking of what to say.
01:57:59.000
So she's probably floundering a little bit there and doesn't know what to say.
01:58:03.000
It's fucking weird having a conversation with someone live.
01:58:06.000
But I think he handled it the right way, right?
01:58:18.000
It wouldn't have been funny if they called fucking Dean Thomas Pete Spratt or something.
01:58:31.000
How about the fuck I took a picture where you thought you were Eve Edwards?
01:58:35.000
Or the one time on Looking for a Fight, Habib really thought I was Eve.
01:58:47.000
Isn't it wild how Khabib just said, nope, done.
01:58:53.000
I mean, when you're that good, and your life is...
01:59:17.000
My man, Gleason, was built like a fucking superhero.
01:59:37.000
Shirk was one of the first guys that had preposterous strength and conditioning.
01:59:50.000
The thing about Glaeson that always used to freak me out was the fact that he could make 155. I know.
02:00:01.000
And Glaeson got him down in this one, didn't he?
02:00:09.000
Well, you know, he got older, had a lot of wars, you know.
02:00:24.000
Yeah, and he fought, I think, a few times in PFL or something.
02:00:34.000
The thing is, Khabib looks natural and he looks fucking...
02:00:37.000
But look, he can't take Gleason down, which is crazy.
02:00:50.000
You look at him and now look at him against Conor.
02:01:00.000
Well, he's young, one of the first fights in the UFC, but made a marked improvement in that department.
02:01:06.000
Because he looked way stronger later in his career.
02:01:08.000
Like when he fought Gaethje, he looked way stronger.
02:01:38.000
When he's standing on top of him, punching him, let's talk now.
02:01:44.000
I was surprised Conor didn't quit at that moment because he was getting his ass whooped.
02:01:50.000
Well, Conor did say to him, you know, it's just business or something.
02:01:54.000
And then he said something like, no, I didn't say that.
02:02:04.000
He did win a round, but it seemed like it was a round that Khabib took off.
02:02:08.000
Khabib kind of coasted for a round and then got back on him again.
02:02:14.000
That thousand-yard stare that dudes would have when he'd grab ahold of him.
02:02:26.000
I was anticipating that spiral fracture that guys get when they don't tap to the Kimura.
02:02:59.000
Our goal is to, you know, put someone to sleep or get a limb.
02:03:03.000
So sometimes if the guy's a little stubborn, you know, an arm lock or, you know, usually it's like, ah, you know, and they'll stop, if anything.
02:03:13.000
So the bread cutter, you know the bread cutter?
02:03:19.000
One of my black belts, Gord, he went with this other guy.
02:03:37.000
And like, you know, because they usually come right back.
02:03:43.000
Dude, in 30 years, I've never seen one like this.
02:03:46.000
Because I don't know how long this guy had him out.
02:04:13.000
It actually was starting to scare me a little bit.
02:04:54.000
He goes, come to think of it, nobody's seen this motherfucker.
02:05:08.000
Then I found out, it was like the second time he went out.
02:05:13.000
I go, and I go, Henzo, because listen, it happens once in a while.
02:05:20.000
I was a purple belt in the city, and I was going with this other purple belt.
02:05:26.000
I don't want to give him any street cred, right?
02:05:41.000
Amateur move, you know, feet and hips, flipped them over, mounted them, fell asleep.
02:05:52.000
So then the guy went back after me, and I woke up like during it.
02:05:56.000
And then I kind of, then I realized what's going on.
02:06:26.000
Craig came to New Jersey first, and Henzo came two years later.
02:06:31.000
And then later on, they ended up having a split, and Henzo came to me.
02:06:41.000
He was under Horion and Hoyce, and then they disowned him for some business reasons, you know?
02:06:49.000
When I seen shit like that, I had like a newsletter of the Gracie newsletter.
02:07:01.000
So then I found out they did something at Black Belt where he was going to be in a...
02:07:05.000
New Jersey doing one day a week in Manhattan at Oishi's Judo Club down in the village over there.
02:07:12.000
I knew they kicked him out, but I knew they already awarded him, so there he is!
02:07:31.000
The video was re-uploaded and remastered 11 years ago.
02:07:39.000
And it's funny, because when he started training, he didn't like the gi.
02:07:48.000
But the problem was he wasn't a very personable guy.
02:07:53.000
And him and Henzo had like a falling out business-wise.
02:07:59.000
So I remember Henzo took me out to eat afterwards.
02:08:05.000
Now that I got my green card, I'm getting away from this motherfucker.
02:08:11.000
So that guy tried to kind of cockblock his green card.
02:08:17.000
And then I remember Henzo going, if you go with him, some guys will go just because of you.
02:08:25.000
He goes, but I want you to come with me, and this and that.
02:08:31.000
I felt like parents were breaking up a little bit.
02:08:44.000
You can't have Brazilian citizens run for president in America, unfortunately.
02:08:52.000
We just want to make sure we don't get some foreign infiltrators.
02:08:57.000
Someone takes their child, this is going to be the next president to destroy the world.
02:09:05.000
No, I mean, Enzo, he's such a great human being.
02:09:16.000
And the thing about Henzo is the nicest fucking guy there is.
02:09:32.000
And he told this story on my podcast, but I'll try to do it justice.
02:09:41.000
And he was in a little sports car that he was giving to his son, Huron.
02:09:45.000
And then somebody, there was some guys, some street guys going, you know, that's a chick's car, something like that, right?
02:09:55.000
So he gets out, he goes, hey, come, see the size of my vagina!
02:10:16.000
Like, I... My first time ever fighting in a cage.
02:10:25.000
It was like Bama Fight Nights or something like that.
02:10:31.000
I did a jiu-jitsu tournament, but I never fought before.
02:10:34.000
So he came, and it was like a three-week notice thing, but I was always in shape.
02:10:39.000
So I asked Henzel, you know, what do you do like the day of the fight?
02:10:41.000
I was a little nervous, you know, and I'm thinking the crazies with their diet and this and that.
02:10:57.000
Again, I took one on backstage and stuff going on.
02:11:08.000
So I fought some kid from Virginia who was like a blue belt level or something.
02:11:14.000
So I went out there fucking, kind of like I am now.
02:11:22.000
So I get him in two seconds, he gets out, so I get a point, but then they started on, so I started over, I take him down again, he starts clamming up, there's no striking on the floor in the face.
02:11:31.000
So it goes the distance, because I'm exhausted, I got exhausted because of the fucking, my heart wouldn't stop.
02:11:37.000
Afterwards, I couldn't even walk back, I'm like, dude, this fighting is exhausting, meanwhile it's the fucking Ephedra.
02:11:46.000
Somehow he knew Dan through the shoot fighting.
02:11:55.000
It was like a UFC wannabe, but Henzo fought three times in one night.
02:11:59.000
And that guy fought for some Hawaiian guy, and they both got injured.
02:12:25.000
Even though we went the distance, I won because I got the choke.
02:12:47.000
And he was in the early, early days of bare-knuckle MMA. It was like something out of Fraga Rock or something.
02:13:18.000
Well, I don't think they would know you're allowed to go back then.
02:13:20.000
I mean, he tried to go through the striking side with his grappling experience, Paulson.
02:13:32.000
And then the end of it was the guy who won the striking side fought the guy who won the grappling side.
02:13:37.000
That's not right, though, because Henzo fought a Judica.
02:13:39.000
I mean, they were still fighting, but they had rules on how long you could be on the ground, all that shit.
02:13:51.000
You ever see when Matt Hume fought Pat Militech?
02:14:00.000
Yeah, I remember I trained with him in Japan the first time I fought Uno, and he beat the shit out of me.
02:14:14.000
He's got to be older than 50. I'm about to be 50. He might be 60. Matt Hume was good.
02:14:21.000
I was always fascinated that he didn't continue to fight.
02:14:24.000
Remember he did contenders too where they had to grapple like the wrestlers.
02:14:40.000
Kevin Jackson was in the UFC. Oh, that was in the UFC. That was Dan Henderson.
02:15:02.000
Murillo Bustamante and Fabio Gagello are two of my all-time favorite Jiu-Jitsu fans.
02:15:12.000
Because he tapped him out and Big John stopped the fight.
02:15:15.000
I thought Bustamante beat Chuck Liddell in that fight too.
02:15:25.000
Sometimes Chuck would do a punch and he'd go back with it.
02:15:32.000
What I love about those guys is that if you've seen those guys in Abu Dhabi, you've seen them in a jiu-jitsu tournament, you've seen them in MMA, their jiu-jitsu transitions...
02:16:00.000
I mean, for a jujitsu guy, he was pretty well-rounded, especially for that time.
02:16:17.000
Chuck got the touch of death don't you that's what like but Chuck when he hung in there too long like I like when the guys What we just talk about it's unfortunate that they don't have a fucking exit strategy, you know And then also, if you've had a bunch of wars, you're probably not thinking so good anymore.
02:16:34.000
It's hard to muster up the mental energy to create a new career.
02:16:37.000
It's hard to accept the fact that you ain't as good as you used to be.
02:16:43.000
When you're young, you don't think you're ever going to be old.
02:16:50.000
Did he retire finally in the Ryan Bader fight when he got knocked out the second time?
02:16:55.000
I thought he retired, but then I saw him talking about trying to do a boxing match with Tyson or one of those guys.
02:17:03.000
That dude in his prime was something different.
02:17:07.000
We have to look at him in the context of what came before him.
02:17:11.000
Yeah, there was nothing like him before him, for sure.
02:17:13.000
The fact that he could both knock you out and hit submissions from everywhere.
02:17:23.000
Spiked him on his head and his expression never changed.
02:17:25.000
His variety of just being able to do so many different things.
02:17:34.000
There's something about that heavyweight when he could have fought at 205 forever.
02:17:49.000
Yeah, I was with Jeff Munson in Russia when he fought Jeff.
02:17:55.000
And when Jeff was walking out, he really looked like he was going to his death.
02:18:14.000
Okay, Ryan Bader, he said he suffered a TKO in the first round, retiring from MMA after the bout.
02:18:27.000
I mean, I think you could talk some of those guys.
02:18:30.000
I just think they just don't like not doing it.
02:18:36.000
And as they get older, it gets more and more dangerous.
02:18:39.000
You would think Putin would make him the minister or something like he did with Corolla and stuff.
02:18:48.000
I know the weirdest feeling for me, I don't know how it was for you or any of you guys, you all competed...
02:18:54.000
After the three month to the six month mark of not getting another thing coming up, it's a fucking weird feeling.
02:19:01.000
It's like, shouldn't I be calling Joe Silva now and getting another fucking fight?
02:19:11.000
And then if they go and do other stuff and they don't find success in that other thing, then they get it all.
02:19:19.000
And then you're watching other dudes make all this money and you're thinking, damn, man.
02:19:25.000
I still got it and then you got to get a real job There's also the difference between someone who's absolutely obsessed at being the best in the world and someone who's thinking I could probably fight and make money Yeah, it's just not gonna train you're not gonna focus you're not gonna have the same intensity enthusiasm That's the same everything it's you're not gonna.
02:19:43.000
You're not gonna be the same guy So even if you used to be that guy when you were younger when you're 20 If you're 27 and you're just doing it for money and you think you're still that guy that you were when you were 20 when you were obsessed with it, you're going to get fucked up.
02:20:05.000
Volkanovski before the rematch with Islam Makachev is in dispute as the best pound-for-pound fighter alive, right?
02:20:16.000
Some people thought he could have won, some people thought Islam could have won, but either way, he went up, fought the best fighter in the 155-pound division, and...
02:20:26.000
So at that point, you're looking at him, this motherfucker is one of the greatest of all time, probably the best pound-for-pound fighter alive, and then he gets KO'd in the rematch he takes with 10 days notice, which is crazy to take a fight like that with 10 days notice.
02:20:39.000
And then he gets KO'd in the fight with Toporia.
02:20:42.000
And in two fights over the course of, what was it, seven months, eight months?
02:20:47.000
Do you think his team did him a disservice running him out there right after?
02:20:51.000
Like, that was too soon after Makachev, in my opinion.
02:20:53.000
And if they let him run out there again in three or four months, I think they're really doing him a disservice because the light's been turned off twice, and they've got to give him his brain time.
02:21:02.000
Yeah, but is that really his team, or that's just him?
02:21:08.000
You do have the final say, and fighters always think they can do anything.
02:21:14.000
Because like you said, he pretty much, at that weight, might have been the best guy ever.
02:21:19.000
When Manny Pacquiao got knocked out by Marquez, Freddie Roach said, one year.
02:21:25.000
You only take a whole year off if you're not doing anything for a year.
02:21:29.000
It was one of the best one-punch knockouts in the history of the sport.
02:21:32.000
And Manny was piecing him up until that point, too.
02:21:41.000
I mean, he could have went in there and fucking knocked him out.
02:21:45.000
I mean, he 100% could have, but you're compromised.
02:21:48.000
You're not going to be able to compete against a guy like Makachev with no camp.
02:21:55.000
This is my argument like with Kamaru Usman and Hamzat.
02:22:14.000
Fighting up a weight class, but Hamzat was really legit 170 if he could make the weight.
02:22:18.000
At 170, Hamzat's the most terrifying guy on the planet.
02:22:27.000
Yeah, I was about to say his speed is what is underrated.
02:22:34.000
The thing about that one weight cut that he missed by eight pounds though, that's New York.
02:22:43.000
No, some athletic commissions, they intervene a little.
02:22:48.000
They get it and they go, oh, he's not going to make it.
02:22:52.000
It ain't gonna look good, but they can make it.
02:22:56.000
They did that with, that's why Al had to fight Khabib, right?
02:23:01.000
Because they didn't think Max Holloway was cutting, they didn't want him cutting any more weight.
02:23:04.000
Because Max was cutting the weight, and they were like, uh-uh.
02:23:13.000
He didn't take him down after the second round.
02:23:22.000
He went with him five rounds and he was in there.
02:23:25.000
He was in there and that was without a camp for that.
02:23:32.000
Personally, that fight to me I thought kind of exposed Khabib a little bit.
02:23:36.000
Obviously he's undefeated and all that stuff, but What if he would ever got in there with a dude that had a skill set like George?
02:23:44.000
Who could strike, who could defend and take down, who could wrestle with him.
02:24:01.000
And Khabib dominated him in grappling exchanges.
02:24:04.000
The thing about George is he's just much bigger.
02:24:10.000
I know he's not really an 85-er, but George at 170 is a big, strong 170. Oh, 100%.
02:24:15.000
And it could be the same kind of deal where, like, when Izzy went up and fought Jan Bohovic.
02:24:22.000
It's like you got the 185 pound champ who's a virtuoso, but he's fighting a guy that's just a lot bigger than him.
02:24:28.000
If you're not going to have the time to prepare and get your body into a position where you're in somewhat similar range and far of strength.
02:24:38.000
You know, if you're in these crazy grappling exchanges.
02:24:46.000
You know, I mean, which was surprising the first fight with Pajeda when he gets him down.
02:24:54.000
Yeah, I mean, he could have did a lot more with that.
02:24:59.000
Yeah, Alex's level on the ground is not good either.
02:25:02.000
You know, but the thing is, he's getting better at defending.
02:25:05.000
He's getting a lot better at defending once he gets taken down, and when he's on his feet, he's just a motherfucker to deal with.
02:25:11.000
I don't think either of those guys are going for a takedown, to be honest.
02:25:15.000
But Jamal would be more capable of taking Alex down and doing well on the ground.
02:25:28.000
I'm gonna have goose bumps before that one starts.
02:25:36.000
That's why I don't understand why people were upset about that being the main event.
02:25:57.000
I think after doing that movie and how much he had to put into that movie, I think he's going to want to come back to do something like fighting, something that he loves to do.
02:26:14.000
I remember Tommy Morrison was like the man in boxing.
02:26:24.000
So they would call him the Duke, you know, and everybody thought he was going to be the man.
02:26:27.000
And then he did Rocky, and then after Rocky he fought Ray motherfucking Mercer.
02:26:33.000
That might be one of the worst knockouts in the history of the worst knockouts.
02:26:36.000
And he's out already, and Mercer's keeping him up with punches.
02:26:41.000
He's tangled up in the ropes and Mercer's just teeing off with bombs.
02:26:47.000
Not to mention Ray Mercer knocked out Tim Sylvia.
02:26:51.000
That was when they had agreed to beat boxing only and Sylvia opened up with an inside leg kick and Ray Mercer looks up.
02:27:22.000
Ray Mercer came to the American Top Team when I was with them.
02:27:25.000
He came there a few times just to kind of see what MMA was like, yeah.
02:27:28.000
There was a few boxers that gave it a go in kickboxing.
02:27:35.000
He got his legs kicked, and he was like, nah, I'm straight.
02:28:00.000
I had a training session with all the Japanese guys that were going to Abu Dhabi one year.
02:28:05.000
I was in Japan with Henzo, and Henzo was fighting in Pride, so he wanted me and Ricardo Ameda to go with everybody, all the Japanese guys.
02:28:21.000
They were all getting together, all the Abu Dhabi team together, grappling session.
02:28:25.000
So he goes, I want you and Hikaru to go down there.
02:28:34.000
You know, Henzo makes us, you know, makes you go.
02:28:35.000
So the day before, Heian did something to fucking Ricardo's legs, so Ricardo couldn't do nothing.
02:28:47.000
And it was like four-minute matches from, like, the feet.
02:28:50.000
So at one point, like, I jumped guard, and he went down, he stood up, and he started going around in a circle, like, ah!
02:29:14.000
Genki was supposed to be my first fight in the UFC. Oh, Remy Bonjowski.
02:29:38.000
I trained with that guy for like an eight-week period.
02:29:48.000
I did a joint seminar with him in Canada one time.
02:29:59.000
Franz Botha, he did well in kickboxing, remember?
02:30:02.000
Yeah, he figured out how to do it a little bit and started fucking people up.
02:30:09.000
If you could have elite hands and you could figure out the kicks, you had a little bit of an advantage because some of those guys, their boxing was not the best.
02:30:30.000
I remember that guy because Longo used to always point that guy out and be like, this fucking guy!
02:30:36.000
Decker's in his prime as the wildest highlight reel of any fighter ever.
02:30:43.000
His ankle had broken so many times that his doctor, he couldn't bend his ankle.
02:30:47.000
And his doctor was like, look, if you keep kicking with that thing, we might have to remove it.
02:30:55.000
He just, once we got in there, he just smashed.
02:30:58.000
He kicked through your arms, he kicked through your elbows.
02:31:01.000
Ramon Deckers was a fucking machine, man, and he was a small guy, so he's fighting the elite ties that were all his weight and just piecing people up.
02:31:25.000
Ernesto Hoos used to always do that left hook to the body, right low kick.
02:31:54.000
The thing that he had above a lot of those guys was his punching power in his hands.
02:32:02.000
As he's on the way down, he's still trying to tee off on him.
02:32:15.000
He had like a heart attack while he's riding his bike or something crazy.
02:32:18.000
He probably rode his bike like a fucking savage.
02:32:26.000
Imagine being stuck in the fucking ring with this guy.
02:32:29.000
I mean, and back then, there was nobody like him.
02:32:32.000
I mean, he was just fucking everybody up, and he was so mean.
02:32:50.000
That was the thing that Rob Cameron was great at too.
02:32:55.000
He would step off to the left and throw that right low kick across both thighs.
02:33:07.000
Whose fucking highlight reel is everybody getting smoked?
02:33:14.000
And the power that motherfucker had with his kicks, with his punches, everything.
02:33:21.000
I mean, his ankle was completely fucked by the time his career was over.
02:33:32.000
What is he, pay those guys to hang out with them?
02:33:35.000
No, I think Anderson had a great sense of humor.
02:33:38.000
And I think Anderson loved those movies when he was a kid.
02:33:41.000
When I met Chuck Norris, I was like, oh my god, I'm meeting Chuck Norris.
02:34:02.000
So if Anderson fell in love with that Steven Segar, it would make sense.
02:34:19.000
Well, that was when the mob was allegedly sponsoring his movies.
02:34:27.000
He's like, Stephen, I don't think you understand here.
02:34:33.000
Imagine telling Anderson Silva, when you get in the clinch, just grab him by the nose.
02:34:45.000
But the thing is, like, Anderson might be able to take something from some of this wacky shit.
02:34:52.000
Remember when he hit Tony Fricklin with that step-in upward elbow?
02:34:55.000
Did you know that he had to train that away from his coaches?
02:34:58.000
Because his coaches told him to stop drilling that.
02:35:10.000
And then he did it on purpose just to show them.
02:35:15.000
And this was when Anderson, before he came over to the UFC, look at this.
02:35:25.000
But bro, Anderson in those days when he was fighting in England, that's when he became Anderson.
02:35:30.000
So when he came over to the UFC to fight Chris Lieben, I was like, everybody hang on.
02:35:58.000
You know, like when we fought Rio Chonan in pride and Rio Chonan flying scissored him into a heel hook.
02:36:08.000
And then he goes to England and then he finds himself.
02:36:15.000
Remember when Jorge stood right in front of him, let him punch him in the face?
02:36:18.000
I mean, it's like Anderson was on another planet.
02:36:27.000
I was at the club that night that Lee Murray got into that fight with Tito.
02:36:39.000
Cause he beat up Tito and Tito said he had shoes on.
02:36:43.000
First of all, when you look in the dude's eyes, you know, cause he was talking to me in the club, He's like, yeah, you like the jiu-jitsu?
02:36:56.000
I thought he was just like a crazy knucklehead.
02:36:57.000
So I was just talking to him like, ah, yeah, cool.
02:36:59.000
And then when I left later that night, I heard he fucking knocked out Tito.
02:37:09.000
Imagine a guy that's that good at MMA and fighting is actually a real bank robber.
02:37:18.000
They did like a little mini documentary on that.
02:37:22.000
I don't know if it's Showtime or HBO or who it was.
02:37:27.000
Wasn't Guy Ritchie going to do a film about that heist?
02:37:36.000
A bunch of fighters put on tactical gear and robbed $50 million.
02:37:44.000
He had a mural in his house of submitting Corny Rivera.
02:38:07.000
Yeah, this Catch and Lightning thing is more like documentary.
02:38:13.000
People that were around when the heist happened and all that stuff.
02:38:17.000
So, but if you click on it, it said Guy Ritchie's making a movie that someone's responding to that, but is that just rumor?
02:38:28.000
It would probably say Guy Ritchie's name right on it.
02:39:00.000
My wife is the one that showed me that it was on.
02:39:06.000
I saw him fight live, well obviously in the Jorge Rivera fight, but I saw him fight live against Amir Ranavardi.
02:39:25.000
I mean, shit, that was when I seen him at that club.
02:39:30.000
Do you remember when he got stabbed in a knife fight and then was in the hospital almost dead and then hit and pad six weeks later?
02:39:41.000
I think it's like, I legitimately think it was like six to eight weeks after getting stabbed, if I remember it correctly.
02:39:49.000
And I was like, this is the most insane thing I've ever seen in my life.
02:39:54.000
It wasn't like that he was tearing the mitts up, but he was hitting mitts after getting stabbed in the heart.
02:40:04.000
He should have died and lived and then next thing he's hitting mitts and then after that he's planning a bank robbery.
02:40:14.000
You'll see on the documentary like they kind of show they kind of say he's not you know he ain't the mastermind they like set him up to be that guy.
02:40:22.000
Oh the master I wouldn't think he's the mastermind of the organization.
02:40:27.000
Well that's the kind of guy if you want to rob a bank.
02:40:30.000
They were in on it it's I mean it's pretty crazy and it wasn't it the largest amount of money like in stolen in British history or something like that.
02:40:40.000
I mean, I'm going to ruin the documentary for you.
02:40:44.000
Is there a video of him hitting the pads after being stabbed in the heart?
02:40:51.000
Does this thing dissolve or am I spitting this thing out?
02:41:21.000
Do you remember when Panama Lewis gave Aaron Pryor the green one?
02:41:28.000
Not that one, yeah, the other one I mixed, yeah.
02:41:32.000
Do you guys remember when Greg Hardy wanted somebody to give him a fucking...
02:41:45.000
Greg Hardy was fighting and he goes, man, I need my inhaler.
02:41:50.000
So his corner guy, he must have been new to the UFC. He goes, alright.
02:42:00.000
Greg Hardy was fighting, Dean was cornering him.
02:42:19.000
In reality, if a dude fights with asthma, you would think he'd be cleared to use his fucking inhaler.
02:42:26.000
Would it be beneficial for someone who doesn't have asthma?
02:42:31.000
No, but he has asthma, and he got cleared to have it in the back.
02:42:35.000
And he thought he was able to have it in the corner.
02:42:38.000
So when I asked the guy, I said, can he have this?
02:42:50.000
He was like, yo, that damn Dean Thomas, how could he do this?
02:42:55.000
You know, it's complicated, too, because the rules keep shifting a little bit.
02:43:03.000
But the testosterone rule was the craziest rule.
02:43:07.000
Of all the rules that have ever existed in the UFC, when they started giving people testosterone, that was the craziest rule.
02:43:12.000
There were Wild West days, where people could take whatever they wanted.
02:43:16.000
What years was that, where they were just allowed the guys...
02:43:37.000
Luke Rockhold said, I was looking at this guy at the weigh-ins going, what the fuck is he on?
02:43:41.000
Because Vitor is just like a fucking silverback.
02:43:45.000
I mean, dude, when he first came on the scene, he was like 220, had traps up to his ears.
02:43:50.000
When he first came on the scene, I was there for his first fight, UFC 12, in Dothan, Alabama.
02:43:55.000
And no one knew what to expect, because everybody thought that Vitor was a Carlson Gracie black belt, so they expected him to just be a jiu-jitsu guy.
02:44:03.000
But he came out with them Brazilian fucking model shorts on, and the MMA gloves, and just tuned up Trey Taylor.
02:44:15.000
I was at his school when he was training back then.
02:44:17.000
I was at Carlson Gracie's in 97. That's part of how the reason I got this gig.
02:44:23.000
I interviewed him once and he mentioned that you used to train there.
02:44:27.000
Yeah, I trained there in 96. That's when I started training there.
02:44:40.000
He came out, like, remember, he was, like, almost like he was freezing him.
02:44:45.000
Avaro Romano, you know, the guy at Gymnastica Natural.
02:44:48.000
He used to be, like, I guess, part of the Carlson team.
02:44:52.000
And he said, like, Vanderlei was pissed because he thought Vitor was in the back trying to freeze him out.
02:44:59.000
And what Alvaro said was that Veeder was petrified, said he was in the back, was crying, and they had to make him go out there.
02:45:07.000
And then he went out there and machine-gunned Vanderlei across the cage like so crazy.
02:45:37.000
We know something happened because he made an excuse.
02:45:57.000
When he got off it, he's one of the few guys that was basically the same guy when he got off of it.
02:46:02.000
He couldn't train as hard, I think he said, but he knocked out Hector Lombard after he got off of it.
02:46:14.000
He ducked under, he snuck out the back door and hit him with an uppercut.
02:46:23.000
He grabbed ahold of a single, snuck out the back.
02:46:27.000
And then just hammered him with that fucking Hendo right hand.
02:46:39.000
After watching Tuff and Bisping, you know, he's a...
02:46:43.000
Look, I like Michael Bisping, and he's an instigating motherfucker, and he was on him the whole time, so you almost were...
02:46:50.000
You know, at that point that Dan got his revenge.
02:46:57.000
And I hate watching that clip, man, because I like him so much.
02:47:02.000
It's rough watching a guy get hammered in the face after he's out cold, too.
02:47:09.000
Like, when he came up, he was obviously a talented guy and wound up becoming a world champ.
02:47:31.000
Well, how about the craziest one was when he beat Anderson and then he gets his mouthpiece knocked out.
02:47:36.000
He's pointing to the referee to get his mouthpiece back and Anderson hits him with a flying Was it Herb or was it John?
02:47:54.000
I think it was her, but I think the fight wasn't over.
02:47:56.000
The fight was not over because Anderson thought he KO'd him.
02:48:00.000
He hit him with that flying knee and dropped him and walked away like it was a walkaway KO. And then the fight kept going.
02:48:14.000
So Bisping, when he's pointing, To see where the fucking mouthpiece is.
02:48:18.000
He probably couldn't even fucking see it coming.
02:48:31.000
And then he walks away And then he goes what the fuck?
02:48:51.000
And by the way, that left eye that's fucked up, that's the good eye.
02:48:57.000
And he comes back and he wins the fifth round, which is bananas, man.
02:49:03.000
Even to win the title, Bisping had to beat Luke Rockhold.
02:49:14.000
One of my favorite moments is right before they were going to fight, Luke was going to him.
02:49:19.000
And he goes, like, he doesn't want to touch hands.
02:49:21.000
He's like, ah, touch you in a minute, motherfucker!
02:49:26.000
Yeah, I'll touch you in a minute, motherfucker.
02:49:36.000
He's got an interesting perspective about this Mike Tyson, Jake Paul thing.
02:49:39.000
Because even though Bisping only has one eye, he's been trying to get Jake Paul to fight him, which is kind of crazy.
02:49:52.000
What do you think about this Mike Tyson, Jake Paul thing?
02:49:58.000
It's always hard to say because you know he has the ability to drop him on his ass at any time, but...
02:50:12.000
But if you look at the pad work, it's little three to five second bursts.
02:50:19.000
If he was doing that in all one round, I'd go, oh.
02:50:23.000
Right, but also, he's just starting to train again.
02:50:41.000
So they had a prearranged thing where he wasn't going to knock him out.
02:50:43.000
It looked like Mike was not trying to knock him out.
02:50:48.000
The fight will be an exhibition, but it'll be real fight rules.
02:51:04.000
If he doesn't get him in the first couple rounds, what kind of gas is he going to have at his age?
02:51:18.000
If it was just a regular 57-year-old dude with not modern hormone replacement and all that jazz, I'd go, he doesn't have a chance.
02:51:35.000
Because if you just allow him to do whatever he wants to do, it changes everything.
02:51:38.000
I guess if it's an exhibition, no drug testing.
02:51:40.000
Email response from the Texas Licensing Commission.
02:51:43.000
The promoter is requested to have an event that day.
02:51:45.000
We've not received any proposed cards and thus have no details of what they're planning.
02:51:52.000
All ballots are subject to review and approval by TDLR. Please let me know if you need any other information.
02:52:04.000
If a lot of people protest, maybe they won't approve it.
02:52:09.000
I mean, they were trying to do it at AT&T Stadium.
02:52:14.000
Yeah, see, if you have something like that, if you have...
02:52:23.000
Let's not imagine that Mike Tyson is fighting Jake Paul.
02:52:26.000
Let's imagine Mike Tyson is fighting some young, really powerful knockout artist who's a contender.
02:52:34.000
Jake Paul could be that guy if we didn't think of him as Jake Paul.
02:52:37.000
If you look at the people he knocks dead, when he knocked dead Tyron Woodley with one punch, that dude did fucking crack.
02:52:42.000
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I'm saying exactly what you're saying.
02:52:47.000
We don't want to give him credit because it's Jake Paul.
02:52:50.000
But we've got to wake up and realize that he's still 27, young, and for the last four, five, six, seven years, he's had the best coaches working with him one-on-one.
02:53:00.000
Now, we wouldn't be thinking that if it wasn't Jake Paul, that he couldn't do it.
02:53:06.000
And if he was just some wild young dude coming up, knocking people out, knocking out former MMA champions like Tyron, we would go, whoa, keep an eye on this kid.
02:53:19.000
100%, but he's also 57. And I think he's going to be 58. Yeah, he'll be 58 at the time he fights.
02:53:25.000
Which is my question, too, is how do you think...
02:53:29.000
Jake Paul, all the guys he's fought are much smaller than him, whether people want to say so or not.
02:53:44.000
So this guy's walking around well over 200, cutting to 85 for these fights.
02:53:52.000
Like, he didn't hurt, like, the Tommy Fury dude.
02:54:01.000
Nate apparently had a fucked up shoulder going into the fight.
02:54:03.000
Well, then that would make sense, because he didn't really throw.
02:54:07.000
You know, so how's he going to handle, again, the age is the factor, but, you know, a big, strong...
02:54:15.000
Two-minute rounds aren't bad, and like I said, if they got him on the right fucking mixture...
02:54:22.000
Or else they're going to be competitive, and they don't.
02:54:24.000
But if they do have him on the right mixture, how do you pass drug tests?
02:54:37.000
Drugs is the only way I think he's competitive.
02:54:41.000
If you just look at him, though, he has to be on some kind of hormone replacement.
02:54:55.000
Oh, yeah, yeah, when he was doing the one-man show and all.
02:55:03.000
I had Tyson when he was big, when he wasn't training at all.
02:55:29.000
And you can imagine he's going to be in that mindset.
02:55:35.000
You got to be in that mindset, though, when you're getting ready to fight, though.
02:55:41.000
The thing is, if he's physically capable of recapturing 70% of what he used to do, just dealing with that, just dealing with that with probably 90% of the power...
02:55:54.000
70% of the physical ability and 90% of the power, because the power is not gone.
02:56:14.000
Even at 57, you can make a lot of money if Mike Tyson's fit and in shape, which is so crazy to say.
02:56:20.000
It's just weird that we're even talking about it.
02:56:24.000
That the fucking guy from Disney is going to fight Mike Tyson, the YouTube kid.
02:56:29.000
And the path to beat Mike always was long dudes that had a good jab later in his career when he wasn't moving his head anymore.
02:56:36.000
So I don't know if Jake can keep Mike off with his jab.
02:56:46.000
Tyson's people are going to be in the back saying, don't let him wrestle us.
02:56:49.000
He'll be wrenching those fucking arms the way he used to.
02:56:53.000
If Tyson can have a flashback, To the glory days.
02:56:58.000
If there's just like a moment where he just sees a combination and empties it on him, that would be wild to watch.
02:57:05.000
For Jake to hurt him, he's got to be there to get hurt.
02:57:07.000
I know he's not exactly Muhammad Ali, you know?
02:57:11.000
And if Tyson can still move his head like he used to move his head.
02:57:14.000
Now, the thing about lower backs, though, if you've got a lower back problem, you've got to kind of save that movement.
02:57:19.000
You can only do it so many times before it's painful.
02:57:21.000
It all depends on the condition of his lower back.
02:57:24.000
Because you've got to think, Mike Tyson in his prime, go back and watch some of those early days.
02:57:30.000
There's just so much to calculate and bombs are coming your way and you're trying to hit him with jabs.
02:57:48.000
Exactly, and I think that coincided with back problems.
02:57:52.000
I believe he had a neck surgery because, you know, he used to do a lot of those wrestler's bridges.
02:57:57.000
And you've got to think of how many dudes like Lennox Lewis just teed off on his noggin.
02:58:02.000
Evander Holyfield just teeing off on his noggin.
02:58:06.000
But my whole thing is this, man, like if what we saw with Vitor Belfort and Evander Holyfield, if that's any indication, and Vitor was 45. Right.
02:58:47.000
That's an independent film I'm doing in LA right now.
02:59:06.000
It makes me wonder, like, what is that going to be like in five years?
02:59:17.000
I was saying, if I was the mayor of San Francisco, I'd just buy that dude a condo.
02:59:21.000
Whenever you're here, they're going to clean the streets.
02:59:25.000
When he came into town for a conference, they cleaned up the streets.
02:59:31.000
They put barriers up so they couldn't get up on there.
02:59:37.000
What Gavin Newsom said that was so hilarious, he said, well, when guests come over, you clean up your house.
02:59:43.000
You got human shit all over the floor of your house.
02:59:49.000
He can lie to your face without even blinking an eye.
03:00:12.000
He's so slick and he looks like a guy who could be president.
03:00:18.000
He looks like Christian Bale, an American psycho.
03:00:21.000
But it's like, you know, if he says the right things and he talks the right way, look, Biden won.
03:00:35.000
Terry Crews could win right now if you ran with that wig on.
03:00:38.000
If you ran with that wig on, Terry Crews, everybody loves Terry Crews.
03:00:42.000
They were watering their plants with Gatorade or whatever the drink was.
03:00:48.000
He told it on the podcast that they called him and contacted him about running for president?
03:00:54.000
Yeah, they contacted him and asked him if he wanted to run.
03:01:15.000
I want a president where every other president has to step aside.
03:01:21.000
The Rock Johnson details how a political party asked him to run for president.
03:01:36.000
I mean, he didn't first buy it before the last election.
03:01:46.000
Imagine if The Rock won and came out with that outfit on.
03:01:49.000
Can I just say, if anybody out there has not seen Idiocracy, they should watch that fucking movie.
03:02:11.000
We had him on Unfiltered once, and the fact that he knew one of my fights, I get weird when people know, because I don't think anybody watches anything.
03:02:20.000
I don't get impressed with guys in Hollywood and stuff, but I fucking love Office Space.
03:02:32.000
He's a fan, like a real fan of MMA. He loves fights.
03:02:37.000
He's been coming to the fights for a long fucking time.
03:02:44.000
Was he a comedian as well, or was he just a writer?
03:02:57.000
I might be wrong, but I don't think they made a lot of money.
03:02:59.000
But they are fucking classics if you see those movies.
03:03:07.000
And then you've got to think about all the DVD sales and all the streaming sales.
03:03:22.000
They don't make those wild, insane, funny, something about Mary type movies.
03:03:38.000
Tropic Thunder is one of the all-time great comics.
03:04:00.000
It's such a judgmental world that we live in now.
03:04:03.000
Everybody's trying to attack things and take people down.
03:04:06.000
In the beginning of Hangover, your friends are so immature.
03:04:45.000
Because you'd think we would come up with something toxic.
03:04:54.000
When you wrote that in the group text, I go, I'm going to wait until he says that in the studio.
03:05:14.000
You can't take a show seriously that's called Cucks.
03:05:20.000
On an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience called Cucks.
03:05:25.000
You got the protect your parks, then you got the cucks.
03:05:33.000
You might get home, wake up in the middle of the night and go, I can't be a cuck.
03:05:44.000
For the record, I'm all in on Cucks, for the record.
03:05:52.000
At my school, if somebody goes, hey, Professor Cuck, I'm going to fuck you up.
03:06:06.000
Alright, gentlemen, give everybody, Rallo, your Instagram and Ground Control.
03:06:36.000
I watch the Yellowstone, but they get too much into the...
03:06:41.000
But then they do stuff just for the Midwestern people.
03:06:45.000
They play the hee-haw music, and they're like...
03:06:51.000
I watched 1883 and I watched 1923. They were both great.
03:07:10.000
1883 is fucking amazing, too, but it's over when it's over.
03:07:16.000
Dude, Sicario is maybe one of the sickest movies of all time.
03:07:19.000
That was depressing, though, the 1883. Yeah, but that's what life was like back then, man.
03:07:25.000
Even in 1923, I like when they just start coming up with the refrigerator and shit.
03:07:31.000
Even the ones that are resisting it, they're like, well, I'm going to have to get one of those washing machines or something.
03:07:38.000
They're like, look, I want to keep it to our traditions, but listen, I got to get that dishwasher.
03:07:55.000
Catch me at the next Karate Combat member, Joe Schilling and Luke Rockhold taking a year in Hawaii.
03:08:09.000
And Modern Rose, my restaurant in Hollywood, Florida at the Modern Rose Hollywood.
03:08:25.000
UFC unfiltered with myself and Jimmy Norton, my little bird.
