Just riding high enough to see the Gucci shoes.
00:00:49.000
How about I almost didn't see them, and I text you during the broadcast, the ESPN Plus thing was a nightmare, man.
00:01:04.000
In 2019 though, especially with ESPN though, that's where I was just shocked.
00:01:08.000
And me being like a super fan, I had to figure it out.
00:01:16.000
And it's a hiccup where you couldn't order it off the app, so you had to close the app, order it from a desktop, then shut down something, then go to your TV. It was a nightmare.
00:01:34.000
And 2,000 savages sent me links to legal streams.
00:01:45.000
I didn't, Joe, and I'm glad you pointed out I did not, but if I were going to...
00:01:52.000
Was it in HD? It was HD and had zero problems, if I was going to.
00:01:55.000
I'm glad you didn't, because they could track you, that face recognition software.
00:02:03.000
Well, it was definitely a huge problem for the first event.
00:02:06.000
I don't know how many people downloaded it and did it, but I bet they probably didn't see the number coming.
00:02:19.000
I think within the last year or so for Max Holloway, where when Max Holloway's face goes up on the screen, people go nuts.
00:02:30.000
I really think that Ortega fight made him a superstar.
00:02:35.000
The back-to-back Aldo ass-whoopings, and then the Ortega one.
00:02:38.000
The thing that was different, though, is Ortega had a big following.
00:02:41.000
Ortega was the young, beautiful lion with fantastic jujitsu, handsome guy, cool, smooth talker, looks like a champion, fucking everybody up.
00:02:52.000
So he had a lot of fans coming in there, and they went to war.
00:02:57.000
And Max came out on top, and I think Max, a lot of those people, and because they were so cool with each other during, before, and after.
00:03:05.000
Dude, Max, he loses better than anyone on the fucking planet.
00:03:11.000
He just goes, hey, I'm just going to get better.
00:03:16.000
He lost to Dustin in his very first fight ever.
00:03:21.000
But I also think Max is – because we've always said – I think both of us have been in agreement where if a guy is cutting a ton of weight and killing himself, go to the next weight class.
00:03:29.000
I've always said that, whether it was Darren Till, whether Chris Weidman, Luke Rockhold, John Jones.
00:03:38.000
And then this is kind of the first time we've seen a guy where it's like – It's not that easy.
00:03:43.000
Because Max Holloway went up, but you could see the power wasn't there.
00:03:47.000
He landed more than Dustin Poirier, but when Dustin landed, you could see that it fucking counted.
00:03:59.000
He used to fight at 45, and really struggled there.
00:04:05.000
You look at him, he almost looks like a welterweight.
00:04:11.000
And Max Holloway in that fight just looked like they didn't look like the same.
00:04:17.000
Well, and you gotta give credit to Poirier too because if you look at the two of them, like after the fight, there was a big difference between the amount of damage that Poirier landed.
00:04:29.000
He was hitting him with really clean, well-timed shots with great head movement, great movement.
00:04:40.000
I mean, he really, that was a coming out party for Dustin Poirier in a lot of ways.
00:04:46.000
Well, the people that knew him from the Gagey fight, knew him from the Eddie Alvarez fight, they knew that, man, he beat these two really good guys, but Max Holloway might be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, and I think he is.
00:04:57.000
I think Max Holley's the greatest 145-er of all time.
00:05:06.000
Well, this is a great example of what we've always said about the differences between the size of people.
00:05:12.000
First of all, I mean, all credit to Dustin Poirier because he put on a phenomenal performance.
00:05:22.000
He even talked about in the post-fight interview that he got hurt in the third round.
00:05:39.000
I feel like Pettis got injured and he stopped the fight.
00:05:54.000
Well, there was one fight where Dustin Poirier...
00:06:00.000
There was one fight with Pettis where Pettis broke his hand and Duke Rufus stopped the fight.
00:06:18.000
It's because, like, was that rib injury from a Poirier body shot?
00:06:33.000
The guys that he's fought and who he's lost to, it's so impressive.
00:06:41.000
Those guys who've been around forever and they fight the best of the best.
00:06:44.000
They might lose one or two here, but they've been around for so long.
00:06:48.000
You just hope there's a title at the end of their career.
00:06:51.000
And sometimes it doesn't look like it's going to happen, but when it does happen, I just...
00:07:03.000
How hilarious is that seeing those two guys together?
00:07:24.000
I was hoping you would have turned around like, dude, what are you doing?
00:07:41.000
I thought Max at 55, everything was going to carry with him.
00:07:45.000
I thought Max would probably get it done, but I knew it was going to be a good fight.
00:07:47.000
I was just betting Theo because Theo is boys with Dustin.
00:08:03.000
Theo's never been in a fight before and he texts me halfway through and goes, dude, I can't believe you did this shit.
00:08:08.000
I go, maybe a little respect now around King of the Sting, alright?
00:08:13.000
Yeah, he was looking at it as a complete outsider.
00:08:19.000
You're seeing four of the best fighters on planet Earth.
00:08:25.000
The Kelvin Gastelum Stylebender fight was a shootout.
00:08:34.000
And when you see Stylebender get rocked in the first round and dropped, you're like, holy shit.
00:08:40.000
I think it's the best thing that happened to him.
00:08:45.000
Career-wise and going forward, it's a good thing he faced a little adversity.
00:08:48.000
We see that he's not going to get hit and crumble.
00:09:00.000
And even after all that, I mean, Stylebender was teeing off on him in that fifth round.
00:09:10.000
Stylebender's face looked like he was allergic to shellfish.
00:09:24.000
And it's also, I think it's good we saw Asanya get hit, get knocked down.
00:09:31.000
We saw what happens when he's off his back, look pretty fucking good.
00:09:37.000
Who knows what the fuck would have happened if that was early in the fight and they were dry.
00:09:41.000
So I think that fight for Staubman checked all the boxes.
00:09:44.000
But also, what's great about this is Kelvin's stock doesn't go down.
00:09:49.000
If anything, I'd watch that guy fight whenever.
00:09:52.000
And let's be honest, he's really a welterweight.
00:09:56.000
He's super small for 85. If Darren Till can make 170 pounds, so can Calvin.
00:10:02.000
I just think there should be more weight classes.
00:10:13.000
I'd rather just stay out here and talk about it.
00:10:18.000
I've said I think there should be a weight class every time.
00:10:22.000
We could, like, dangle the carrot and be like, yo, we'll do a fight campaign every time a 165 or fights and just dangle that carrot.
00:10:31.000
It's one of those things where, like, I think they like it the way it is.
00:10:37.000
Yeah, but it doesn't make sense because if you're going to do all these intern belts, why not do 65?
00:10:42.000
Do you think they would think that it's watered down to have too many weight classes?
00:10:46.000
The people would just be jumping back and forth from weight class, which they would be.
00:10:51.000
But you would also have people that find a weight class where they could be at their best versus either have to bulk up or have to drop too much weight and compromise yourself.
00:11:00.000
It's a happy medium for a lot of guys that are not hitting that happy medium right now.
00:11:06.000
But here's the thing about, so if Kelvin should be a 170-er, Stylebender's a small 85-er.
00:11:11.000
He weighed in at 183. He weighed under the weight limit.
00:11:14.000
Well, you look at how big some of these guys are.
00:11:26.000
Like, you look at Jacare, you look at Yoel Romero.
00:11:38.000
Like, Staubender could probably make 170 easier than fucking 85. I mean, 85's a...
00:11:45.000
That's why, have you seen the talk, it makes no sense, Stylebender and Jon Jones?
00:11:58.000
It just says, yeah, he ballooned back up to 160 pounds.
00:12:03.000
It's crazy when I'm standing next to him that this guy weighed in at 35 because I'm looking at him.
00:12:12.000
He looks so big for that 135-pound weight class.
00:12:18.000
But the UFC Performance Institute gave him the green light to do that.
00:12:23.000
It says, David Sight with Costa was the first in the bandweight division.
00:12:26.000
He said he needed to make serious sacrifices to get there.
00:12:34.000
By the time he stepped into the octagon at 236, he had ballooned back to 160 pounds.
00:12:56.000
Well, he didn't fight at 45. He fought Zabit in his last fight.
00:13:03.000
Zabit got him in that crazy arm bar from the back.
00:13:15.000
When I think of 185ers, think of Luke Rockhold.
00:13:24.000
I think Luke's done with 85. Yeah, he's at 205 now.
00:13:26.000
Is it 100% or is he just going to do it for one fight?
00:13:30.000
But is he going to stay there or is he just doing it for one fight?
00:13:34.000
But then you look at Whitaker, who's at 85. He's not huge.
00:13:42.000
Because he still can knock out anybody, but he's got awesome cardio and pace.
00:13:48.000
I mean, he's not as strong as Yoel Romero, but he's strong enough to hold him off.
00:13:54.000
You gotta get that Cuban gene pool to get that.
00:14:00.000
Like that fucking mountain from Game of Thrones.
00:14:04.000
Yeah, and then when he's throwing steroids in that pool, you get a freak.
00:14:15.000
And then when they kept asking about it, they go, are you currently taking it?
00:14:17.000
He goes, listen, I don't really want to talk about this.
00:14:33.000
Are you really going to fly to Australia for that pay-per-view?
00:14:36.000
Dude, there ain't two dudes on this planet that get me to fly to Australia.
00:14:49.000
I love Australia, but now if Rihanna was like, yo, dude, get to Australia, I'm like, I'm on my way.
00:15:11.000
Just think about how much pain that guy had to be in to an almost fight with a hernia and a ruptured...
00:15:27.000
No, I know his intestines were popping through.
00:15:38.000
Well, you know, think about the fucking strain from sparring.
00:15:42.000
Just think about getting taken down while you're trying to throw a kick.
00:15:56.000
How about someone misses a spinning back kick low and it just catches your taint?
00:16:01.000
Just the heel hits your taint and rips your taint away from the bone.
00:16:11.000
I would assume Whitaker's a slight favorite in that fight.
00:16:18.000
Well, based off what Kelvin did, based off Whitaker's two fights with Yoel, he's been the only guy to hold Yoel off.
00:16:25.000
Although I have said that I did think that Yoel won the second fight.
00:16:29.000
I think by the new scoring, Yoel had him rocked and hurt.
00:16:33.000
By the new scoring, I felt like it should have been worth more.
00:16:50.000
If you're watching a fight, if a fight is a fight, I mean, I understand it's a sport, but it's a sport of fighting.
00:16:56.000
If you're watching a fight and one guy is really fucking a guy up and the other guy never does that, Who do you think won that fight?
00:17:08.000
But do you think the guy that just moves around and touches him with the jab, and I'm not saying this as what Whitaker did, but just as a what if.
00:17:15.000
If a guy's just moving around for four rounds, and he's touching you with the jab, and leg kicking you, and shutting you out.
00:17:21.000
But then in the fifth round, you knock him down four times.
00:17:29.000
You end the fight with your hand raised without a mark on your face, and the other guy's face is pizza.
00:17:34.000
I'd look at my boys and be like, damn, for that first 20, that boy was moving.
00:17:44.000
Because as a sport, you have to judge it as cumulative.
00:17:47.000
Yeah, if you're going to judge it on a scorecard, it has to be cumulative.
00:17:51.000
The question is, how much is it worth for a guy to really take it to a guy and almost stop him?
00:18:00.000
Like, with that fight, if there's a draw, I'm like, that makes sense.
00:18:04.000
I think when a person gets really rocked like that, it's worth more than a point.
00:18:21.000
The idea that you could go through a round, you don't know who won, right?
00:18:25.000
A round where it's like a lot of feeling out, a lot of touching, you know, this and that.
00:18:32.000
First round, Anderson Silva versus Stylebender.
00:18:34.000
You could give it to Stylebender for sure, but it was a round where they were feeling each other out.
00:18:40.000
There was not one big moment where, oh my god, Stylebender's taking over, this fight is almost done.
00:18:48.000
But yet another fight where a guy beats the shit out of a guy and doesn't drop him.
00:18:53.000
And they have exchanges, but the guy gets rocked and hurt.
00:18:58.000
What if he head kicks him and drops him and the guy barely survives?
00:19:07.000
But even if it's 10-8, I think it should be more than 10-8.
00:19:25.000
Gray Maynard drops him, has him badly hurt in the first round.
00:19:29.000
Frankie manages to survive and come back and win enough rounds and win the fight.
00:19:38.000
Well, it's kind of like with Roundtree and Eric Anders.
00:19:42.000
How the fuck were people scoring those rounds 10-9?
00:19:59.000
Every fighter's like, where the fuck was he at?
00:20:04.000
My only thing with that is, what's the grappling like out there?
00:20:08.000
Hey, man, I don't know, man, but get somebody to help him.
00:20:12.000
That motherfucker, he throws some of the nastiest inside leg kicks, and so fast, and he was total tie style.
00:20:26.000
Dude, his timing, his speed was off the charts.
00:20:31.000
I hope Eric Anders posted a picture today about it.
00:20:34.000
First of all, how fucking tough is Eric Anders?
00:20:55.000
He said he loves when he fights because then Bruce Buffer has to say, your boy...
00:21:06.000
He's a bad motherfucker, because that guy does not have a long history of mixed martial arts like a lot of these guys.
00:21:25.000
Well, I was impressed when he knocked out Gokan Saki.
00:21:28.000
And then I know he lost to Johnny Walker, who's just a beast.
00:21:31.000
I don't know what to make of Johnny Walker yet.
00:21:43.000
I hope he didn't hurt his fucking shoulder when he fell.
00:21:49.000
Because if he really hurt himself and they can't fix that, that would be a damn shame if the way he got injured is falling down playing around after a spectacular victory.
00:21:59.000
I thought he came out and said he was fine though.
00:22:17.000
With one of those elbows where he hands up high.
00:22:24.000
Look, anybody gets flatlined with that fucking elbow.
00:22:30.000
That was the reason why Khalil went to Thailand.
00:22:41.000
But when you have results like that, I love it.
00:22:45.000
I love a story like that until a grappler comes around and goes, Muay Thai.
00:22:53.000
Yeah, but doesn't like Phuket Top Team and a lot of those places out there, a.k.a.
00:23:29.000
See if you can go to Khalil Roundtree Jr.'s Instagram page.
00:23:41.000
Learning in the motherland with those dudes, you know?
00:23:44.000
Watching those guys work out and train, just to be in that environment.
00:23:55.000
You know, he used to work at an MMA warehouse and sell shirts when he was 300 pounds.
00:24:29.000
Listen, you want Khalil Ronald Tree Jr. kicking you, you're probably better off in that shape.
00:24:36.000
So that dude was probably his pads guy that helped him with his pads.
00:24:49.000
He's like, pass on the pad time, get me the Donald Trump.
00:25:08.000
There's something about being in a place where something was invented that must give you some extra juice.
00:25:16.000
I mean, they hate white people, but it's a special place.
00:25:20.000
Especially when you're fighting Noguera doing jiu-jitsu.
00:25:22.000
Of course they're going to hate you if you fight Noguera.
00:25:33.000
If a jiu-jitsu guy fought a jiu-jitsu guy, it'd be a real issue in the jiu-jitsu community.
00:25:39.000
Well, remember with Anderson, he didn't want to fight other Brazilians.
00:25:42.000
And we fought, like, Tao's ladies and Damian Maia.
00:25:50.000
The Talos Latis fight, it's almost like you just kind of let him survive.
00:26:05.000
Or do you think it's just that Talos Latis was...
00:26:14.000
Although with Vitor Belfort, Anderson Silva was a cool story flick to the face.
00:26:19.000
But the thing with Damian Maia was they had a real problem.
00:26:23.000
There was some sort of real animosity between them.
00:26:38.000
There was something going on there when Ashton, when he's fighting other Brazilians, it sucked.
00:26:41.000
And then he blew himself out going after Damien Maia and then coasted for the last few rounds.
00:26:57.000
I heard Khabib's next fight might be in Dubai in September.
00:27:18.000
It's like, how good is he going to be able to fend off that grappling?
00:27:29.000
And he was like, dude, I'd love to fight Khabib.
00:27:47.000
I don't mean wild like he's not calculating, but I mean wild in that he takes risks.
00:27:55.000
He calculates his ability to perform in those risks, but he forces action.
00:28:07.000
Like, if we just talked about Anderson Silva versus Talos Latis, that was not a risk-taking fight.
00:28:17.000
He says he fights that way because he doesn't have the cardio.
00:28:20.000
He goes, the way I fight, I don't have the cardio to go fight.
00:28:50.000
When he tied up Conor's legs in that first round, I was like, Jesus Christ.
00:28:56.000
Tony Ferguson has a real good chance of making it interesting because of his own wrestling and his scramble ability.
00:29:11.000
But I bet Tony is pissed and wants a shot at the title, which, you know, he was on his way to that when his knee ripped apart at a fucking promotional thing.
00:29:27.000
Yes, and a guy who people have kind of forgotten in the mix of all these killers.
00:29:31.000
There's so many 55-pounders that are just straight-up killers now.
00:29:39.000
Dude, when you look at 55, 70, 85, there's never been a better time to be a UFC fan.
00:29:50.000
Like, I was looking up the matchups for Style Ben, I'm like, what the fuck?
00:29:56.000
I look at 170. Who's the scariest, if you had to think of Stylebender, is Yoel Romero the scariest fight for him?
00:30:27.000
If you try to catch a break, if you're standing on the outside and you're both breathing and you're moving, you're like, maybe this is the time I'm going to catch a break.
00:30:35.000
And then all of a sudden, he flying knees you in the face, and you didn't see it coming.
00:30:38.000
And whether you're Whitaker or Stylebender, whoever wins that fight in Australia, you got Yo Romero next.
00:30:44.000
I'm sure he's going to fight before then, but...
00:30:48.000
When's father time go, Yo, you're special, but let's go.
00:30:53.000
But Whitaker also, the thing with Whitaker is he gets seriously injured after every fight and has to have surgery.
00:31:05.000
When you're that good and you go that hard, I mean, to train as hard as he must train to be as good as Robert Whitaker is, the human body, like, look, Cain Velasquez is the great example of that, right?
00:31:24.000
It's just the ability to push through pain, the ability to just keep working and working and working and grind and attack.
00:31:31.000
That way when you're in those fights, a guy like Cain would put it on people to the point where they couldn't believe it was real.
00:31:45.000
But you know who can do that and decides whether or not he's going to do it?
00:32:02.000
Why is Stylebender and Jon Jones, why are they talking shit to each other?
00:32:12.000
He came out in an interview and goes, you know, Stylebender's looking good.
00:32:15.000
He's fighting 85. It's only a matter of time before I think we cross paths, which is silly.
00:32:23.000
He's like, oh, I already beat one GOAT. I need another one.
00:32:27.000
But if you're John, why are you even engaging in this?
00:32:34.000
It's great for John because he wants to let everybody know, hey, I'm the best motherfucker on the planet.
00:32:42.000
Like when there's a car that's about someone, I mean, he's active now, right?
00:32:50.000
Long-ass fucking career as champion, as the best ever.
00:32:55.000
I think they took it away from him for all those months when he tested positive, that long suspension, all that time off, all money that he should have made, all the legacy that he could have laid down, and now I think he's just fucking chasing it.
00:33:10.000
However, talking to a 183-pounder is kind of silly.
00:33:14.000
Yeah, but if you say that in an interview, I don't think that's that disrespectful.
00:33:18.000
The way he said it is that one day maybe we're going to fight.
00:33:20.000
Yeah, but then Stylebender, TMZ asked him, they don't know shit about fighting.
00:33:24.000
They're like, oh, this guy's big, this guy's big, they're both black, let's fight.
00:33:30.000
But then also, I think John Jones is the hot senior in high school, and Stylebender's the new freshman who's hot, and it's like Mean Girls.
00:33:39.000
It's also, I wonder how much of this is like they all agree is good for business.
00:33:49.000
I mean, Conor's real good about that, but the way he's able to turn these shit-talking back and forth into publicity for fights.
00:34:07.000
Obviously that backfired when Khabib tried to fucking attack him after it was over.
00:34:13.000
And all the other people punched him in the head.
00:34:28.000
But with Conor, I'm like, God, hopefully something gets lined up.
00:34:31.000
Yeah, but what I'm trying to say is that shit-talking...
00:34:38.000
Like, if Stylebender and Jon Jones did decide to fight one day, that shit's worth something to both of them.
00:34:45.000
There's a big gap between 85 and 205 though, man.
00:34:50.000
John could beat up any heavyweight in the world with ease.
00:35:00.000
Well, obviously he wouldn't be 183. If Stylebender was going to do it, I'm sure he'd want to put some weight on.
00:35:08.000
But that's what makes Stylebender special, because those guys, same as Max Holloway, he goes, I'll fight anyone.
00:35:14.000
But it also, and this is not a knock on Santos or the level competition, but at 205, there's really nothing there to get excited about.
00:35:26.000
He's going to be a plus 700, plus 800 underdog.
00:35:34.000
Yeah, it's one of those things now where you've got to find contenders for John, right?
00:35:41.000
Rockhold would be cool at 205. Heavyweight's the place.
00:35:51.000
And I'm a Reyes fan, but I don't think he beat Ozdemir.
00:35:58.000
Look, Volkan's a very good fighter, no doubt about it.
00:36:07.000
Right, but we were looking at Dominic and we were like, that kid's really talented, he's got massive potential, and I still think he does.
00:36:17.000
Right, but that guy might have a blown shoulder.
00:36:21.000
If he doesn't, here's the thing about that guy.
00:36:25.000
He might knock four people into another dimension on the way to Jon Jones.
00:36:31.000
But you've got to knock those four guys out so we can sell this thing.
00:36:34.000
I mean, he's put away two top-level guys pretty spectacularly.
00:36:39.000
And, I mean, you look at the way he fights, too.
00:36:43.000
He's loose and weird and then, boom, jumps on you.
00:36:52.000
They're going, no, we know heavyweight's there.
00:36:53.000
We're going to clean out 205. Ain't nobody beating us.
00:36:57.000
We're going to clean out, so we're considered the greatest of all time.
00:37:04.000
They thought it would be a good fight with Tiago.
00:37:06.000
And I think one of the things that it's a good fight, one of the reasons why it's a good fight is Tiago can shut anyone's lights out.
00:37:21.000
Yeah, 85. Struggled to make 85. Look, he's big.
00:37:33.000
Now, John is not going to fight him the way Mano will fight him.
00:37:36.000
You know, John is going to keep him on the outside with those kicks.
00:37:40.000
And if he decides to clinch him, he'll clinch him, wrestle him, take him down.
00:37:54.000
And they're coming one after the other, after the other, after the other.
00:37:58.000
But in the wild exchange where he has to be careful is that that Tiago dude, Tiago Santos will swing with everything.
00:38:14.000
Those guys that go, that's where your one place is to win?
00:38:19.000
I don't think that he would willingly wade into a firefight.
00:38:27.000
See, what John is going to do, if I had to guess, is try to further cement his legacy.
00:38:37.000
If he decides to clinch with him, he's going to have a giant advantage in wrestling.
00:38:48.000
He swings like, this ain't making it to the fifth round.
00:38:53.000
That guy is just, every shot, he's trying to take the lights out.
00:39:04.000
But it doesn't mean it's not going to be interesting.
00:39:09.000
The question is going to be, how does he perform?
00:39:11.000
How does he perform when that octagon door shuts?
00:39:17.000
But I think one of the reasons why John talking shit to Stylebender is one of the pros is we're talking about him, right?
00:39:24.000
Because we probably wouldn't have talked about him versus Santos on this show if it wasn't happening.
00:39:33.000
Probably the biggest name in the sport now, outside Connor.
00:39:36.000
The guy who's the most active, him and could be probably the biggest names.
00:39:40.000
I actually think it helps Stylebender too, right?
00:39:42.000
Because now he's associated with the greatest of all time.
00:39:47.000
And it's going to get there, and I can't fucking wait.
00:39:49.000
When he goes, alright, I'm ready for heavyweight.
00:40:01.000
If the Brock Lesnar deal doesn't get done, the talk is Stipe versus DC. Because the Brock Lesnar deal is not done.
00:40:39.000
Hey Brock, quit fucking giving us blue balls and get the fuck in there.
00:40:46.000
And he's trained with some high-level wrestlers.
00:40:57.000
Remember when he tagged Randy Couture and dropped him and hammer-fisted him into oblivion?
00:41:17.000
Well, it's because Frank got him with that knee bar, and he tapped.
00:41:22.000
Dana White says, Steepy Miocic, not Brock Lesnar, next and last.
00:41:32.000
He goes, we don't know what Brock's going to do, but if it doesn't happen, it's Stipe.
00:41:51.000
I get what you're saying, and I get the Brock Lesnar appeal.
00:41:56.000
Because you're a purist, and that's why I like you, but not me.
00:41:59.000
I'm like the Prentice Hilton of MMA. First of all- Not me, sir.
00:42:06.000
He defended the title more than any human being that's ever held it.
00:42:09.000
He's the number one guy in the heavyweight division.
00:42:12.000
So you have to rate him the greatest heavyweight of all time.
00:42:15.000
If you look about accomplishments, he's the greatest UFC heavyweight of all time.
00:42:27.000
I mean, if you had to rank him, you know, like, right now, like, one through ten...
00:42:35.000
DC's number one, because he's the champion and he knocked him out.
00:42:39.000
But to say, like, the all-time greatest, most accomplished heavyweight...
00:42:45.000
Okay, the all-time most accomplished greatest heavyweight is Stipe.
00:42:51.000
Well, Kane never defended as many times as Stipe did.
00:42:55.000
The question is, did Kane beat the better guys?
00:42:58.000
Did he beat Junior Dos Santos when Junior was young?
00:43:01.000
Before, he'd been through those wars with Kane, right?
00:43:04.000
Because by the time Stipe got him, Junior had been in some wars.
00:43:16.000
But the Bam Bam Tuivasa fight, knocking out that dude, that dude's tough as shit, man.
00:43:22.000
Knocking that motherfucker out and the way he did it, he looks good, man.
00:43:41.000
Look, Junior Dos Santos still is an amazing fighter.
00:44:04.000
I get it, but it's a risky thing when you're a former heavyweight champion and you're gonna take a fight when you rightfully deserve a rematch.
00:44:13.000
And what if you get hurt while you're taking this fight?
00:44:18.000
And then you have knee surgery, and then you're out for another year, and then DC loses it, and DC retires.
00:44:27.000
Obviously, the UFC... He wants to fight DC again.
00:44:30.000
Well, now, in hindsight, because Lesnar and John Jones are not going to heavyweight, but he's the third choice in all this.
00:44:38.000
I thought it was very interesting that John said that to Stipe...
00:44:54.000
I think UFC was fishing and went, hey, you down to fight Stipe?
00:44:59.000
And they went, Stipe, you down to fight Johnny?
00:45:06.000
Maybe they did have some preliminary discussions as to whether or not the two would engage in fisticuffs.
00:45:23.000
His Francis and Gano fight was one of the most impressive heavyweight title defenses.
00:46:15.000
Francis with an understanding of what it's like to fight five rounds.
00:46:28.000
Dude, imagine you blow your knee out in a jiu-jitsu match, and you can't fight for the title.
00:46:32.000
Those jiu-jitsu matches are backfiring, trust me.
00:46:34.000
They're rough, man, and those big dudes want to fuck you up.
00:46:53.000
Gordon Ryan can't really do that right now, right?
00:47:07.000
He's fighting Masvidal, but I'm saying he's doing a wrestling match with Jordan Burroughs, right?
00:47:16.000
You know, if Ben Askren can really hang with Jordan Burrow still...
00:47:24.000
Because everybody who rolls with him, I've never even clinched with him, but everybody who's done everything with him...
00:47:31.000
The closest I came to a clinch is like, that hug you do when you bro hug a dude.
00:47:36.000
Get the over-under a little bit just to feel it out.
00:47:38.000
But they say that it's like he's got four arms.
00:47:52.000
I mean, if you see that fight with Robbie Lawler, the fucking bombs that guy took.
00:47:58.000
And the fact that he still figured out a way to get a hold of Robbie Lawler's neck.
00:48:02.000
He still figured out a way to get him into that headlock.
00:48:07.000
Dude, I was sweating in that fight because you and I hyped him up so much.
00:48:10.000
I was like, oh, please don't get starched in the first round.
00:48:17.000
Well, Herb said that, first of all, Herb Dean is the shit.
00:48:30.000
When he talks about things, you don't see any...
00:48:39.000
And he's very self-deprecating and chilled out about it.
00:48:44.000
That's not just a manipulation of the neck, like, in terms of, like, cutting off the carotid artery.
00:48:49.000
He's like, this is a manipulation of the spine.
00:48:52.000
He was talking about, like, you look how he's got a hold of the head, and how he goes...
00:48:57.000
What I'm concerned with is if someone's going unconscious from some nerve shit.
00:49:04.000
Like, apparently, he had seen a guy who had gotten neck cranked like that, and then afterwards, the guy couldn't walk.
00:49:16.000
See, this is just shit we don't even think about.
00:49:22.000
It's Big John McCarthy and him, and Big John doesn't do it anymore.
00:49:26.000
And just that, when you think about it, and Askren says, what he says is that, see, that's nasty, dude.
00:49:35.000
The way he's holding on to the head like that and cranking your neck, I like that they're not rematching.
00:49:41.000
I like that the UFC went, oh, alright, we're good.
00:49:49.000
I think that I agree with Herb Stoppage, and I see that the arm went limp, but then the thumb came up.
00:49:58.000
But then as soon as he let go, Robbie jumped up.
00:50:00.000
Usman had me convinced that Robbie was never out.
00:50:05.000
But Herb had me convinced that it was too dangerous for him to allow it to continue once the arm dropped in that weird way.
00:50:19.000
See, I looked at it in terms, and I didn't even consider this when I was talking to Usman, that I looked at it in terms of, it's just a choke.
00:50:41.000
And then let's say Askren wins that, which is a tough fight to win.
00:50:44.000
And then say Woodley and Lawler, say Lawler wins that, then they fight, it's even bigger.
00:50:49.000
Woodley versus Lawler, though, that's a tall order.
00:51:00.000
I'm really interested to see how Woodley bounces back, but he's been saying all the right things.
00:51:07.000
And one of the things that I love that he said, he said he didn't realize the value of the title until it was gone, and now he really understands it.
00:51:13.000
I mean, I just think he really understands it now that it's not there anymore.
00:51:22.000
You could make a rematch with Kelvin and Stylebender in six months.
00:51:38.000
Former champions Tyron Woodley and Robbie Lawler to meet in UFC main event.
00:51:58.000
And, bro, Robbie Longler, physically, in that last fight, shredded.
00:52:02.000
He said he had this crazy strength and conditioning program.
00:52:16.000
Well, I mean, at least he's just straight up admitting it.
00:52:19.000
I think that's what you have to do, because then you're kind of like, yeah, I fucked up.
00:52:28.000
Someone wrote an article that said that Cody Garbrandt found out that TJ tested positive for his fight, too, and Cody went crazy.
00:52:41.000
I think somebody got us with a click-baity article.
00:52:45.000
So my apologies to TJ. So I don't think there's been another one that they tested him on that he's positive.
00:53:06.000
He goes, you guys aren't testing for EPO every time.
00:53:08.000
We pay this much money for you num-nups to show up, guys, at three in the morning and test them.
00:53:13.000
You're not testing every time and we pay this much.
00:53:30.000
I guess what they're going to do is they're going to go back and see if they still have the samples for when he did beat Cody and test those for EPO. Well, this is what you and I were talking about when we were at the store.
00:53:44.000
Dude, I'm telling you, Joe, you don't want to go down that road, man.
00:53:56.000
You're going to ruin the foundations of the UFC. This is an intellectual exercise.
00:54:02.000
But if I was going to argue, I'd say test them all.
00:54:13.000
You want to test Forrest Griffin and Stefan Bonner, UFC? Test them all.
00:54:17.000
The fight that catapulted the freaking UFC? But then again, test all the football players, test all the baseball players.
00:54:34.000
They had little kids play A-Rod and the doctor.
00:54:40.000
The story's nuts because it's in the people who are actually there narrating it.
00:54:44.000
They're telling the story and they got these little kids playing A-Rod and playing the doctor.
00:54:58.000
When everybody makes an agreement to not cheat, and they're testing you all the time to try to make sure that you're not cheating, don't you think that the environment's different now than it was before you saw it was initiated?
00:55:20.000
It is better overall for the purity of the sport.
00:55:24.000
But I still assume guys are going to figure out a way to cheat.
00:55:27.000
Because PEDs in sports is no different than a referee or a judge or gloves.
00:55:36.000
People have always done PEDs or enhancements in every aspect, whether it's football, basketball, music, surfing, sex.
00:55:45.000
It's just what humans do, especially when the odds are so high that this little thing can help you achieve.
00:55:55.000
And then also with TJ Dillashaw's thing, granted, we know EPO is illegal, but this one's a little different.
00:56:04.000
If you tested positive for like steroids or whatever, like straight up steroids, because if you and I engage in a fight and we have eight weeks to train and you go to Mount Everest or where the fuck you want to get your red blood cells higher and then fight me back at sea level, but I just stay here and inject those red cells.
00:56:22.000
The difference is that if you operate at sea level and you're taking EPO, you will be able to work much harder and get more rounds in and you'll recover much better.
00:56:34.000
If you are up at altitude, the problem is living and training really at high altitude.
00:56:41.000
But the night of the fight, we're going to have the same.
00:56:47.000
No, you're going to have a stroke from that stuff.
00:56:51.000
Depends on how much you're taking, but that was one of the things Nowitzki was telling me about were young cyclists that were just having strokes.
00:56:58.000
Well, your boy, I think it was Lance Armstrong, maybe he was on your show, but he would wake up in the middle of the night and have to ride a bike because his blood was so thick.
00:57:14.000
You'd have to wake up in the middle of the night and ride your bike.
00:57:17.000
I think Lance did discuss how guys would do that.
00:57:22.000
Did Lance talk about having to get up in the middle of the night?
00:57:25.000
Did I talk about getting up in the middle of the night riding a bike?
00:57:29.000
But anyway, obviously, look, with the Lance Armstrong thing, I feel like Everyone was doing it.
00:57:44.000
I think other people are taking EPO and they're hoping they don't get caught.
00:57:54.000
I think there's a lot of guys who are doing it honorably.
00:58:04.000
It just is what, to take from Max Holloway, it is what it is, right?
00:58:15.000
But, I mean, I don't even know if I have a point.
00:58:24.000
I was going to say the guy's trying to provide for his family, but so is everybody else.
00:58:32.000
But I would like to sit down with TJ. I've reached out to him since he's been suspended.
00:58:44.000
Because his cardio has been great since he was a child with his wrestling background.
00:58:48.000
At what point along the way, was it six years ago, six fights ago, did you think you needed to do this in order to beat these guys?
00:58:55.000
Well, we could look at one thing that we know that he's been doing.
00:59:00.000
He has a rigorous strength and conditioning program.
00:59:04.000
That training lab strength and conditioning program that he's doing?
00:59:10.000
But that shit is off the charts crazy difficult.
00:59:13.000
They're doing wild stuff and medicine ball work and plyometrics and all this stuff.
00:59:17.000
And TJ looks like a fucking beast when he's doing it.
00:59:30.000
In order to do that kind of work, like to put out that kind of pace, your body's going to have to have some time to recover in between workouts.
00:59:37.000
Well, if you take EPO, that time of recovery is diminished quite a bit, according to Nowitzki.
00:59:44.000
He's saying it allows guys to put in more work.
00:59:50.000
It allows you to recover faster so you can train harder.
00:59:55.000
That sometimes the difference between victory and defeat is just having a little more in your gas tank.
01:00:08.000
Well, if you had the opposite of those awful feelings, instead of being compromised, being enhanced, it's going to help you mentally.
01:00:17.000
You're going to come in there like a fucking champion.
01:00:31.000
The only guy whose walkout music I always remember.
01:00:38.000
Because he'd come out to Country Boy Can't Survive.
01:00:43.000
Randy Couture when he came out to Stranglehold.
01:01:05.000
Words are like, Wonder Boy, what is the secret of your powers?
01:01:10.000
Who came out to the Game of Thrones song, though?
01:01:16.000
It's a little boring, but you know, shit's about to go down.
01:01:21.000
Did you see D'Elia, that fucking dork, with his shirt off, doing an air violin to Game of Thrones?
01:01:33.000
Do you think, I was thinking about TJ, do you think two years is good enough?
01:01:44.000
What if Cody demands that they test his sample for EPO? That's a good question.
01:01:51.000
This might have already happened and we don't know.
01:01:55.000
So let's say that they go back and test the two fights with Cody that he beat him.
01:01:59.000
So let's say both test spots for EPO. I don't think they will, but let's say they did.
01:02:17.000
This would be the best argument for getting rid of...
01:02:20.000
Nowitzki says Dillashaw was tested for EPO in both fights against Cody Garber.
01:02:34.000
But go ahead and go, because if he didn't do it during Cody Garbrandt fights, come on, dude.
01:02:39.000
Well, how long has he been training at the training lab?
01:02:42.000
Was the first Cody Garbrandt fight when he was out of Denver?
01:02:45.000
He was switching time and then moved here permanently because of the training lab.
01:02:57.000
But also, at 125, it makes sense to do EPO. Because cutting that weight, 125, Henry's going to have more...
01:03:11.000
Maybe that was the only way he could make the 25. Fuck.
01:03:20.000
Before UFC 217, the Madison Square Garden fight.
01:03:24.000
Yeah, so that's when they started training together.
01:03:27.000
Yep, makes sense, because he's trying to get down to an ungodly weight.
01:03:30.000
Dude, he looked so bad when he was walking around that day.
01:03:37.000
That's why I'm talking shredded like an Ethiopian kid.
01:03:54.000
Like one of those crazy dudes who's just doing one every weekend.
01:04:04.000
That's crazy, the difference in the amount of muscle he carries on.
01:04:10.000
What a bad decision to go to 125. Well, and also, to do it where he wasn't draining himself that much, because he got down to like 135 naturally, and then bought the last 10. That training lab, and they have to do a safe face.
01:04:25.000
But TJ came on my show, and he's talked about it in other interviews, saying how they did blood work every day and tested everything.
01:04:31.000
You're telling me that when you insert fucking EPO, no one had any idea.
01:05:08.000
Now, maybe someone came to him and was like, dude, better cardio at 125. EPO's the way to go.
01:05:15.000
Who do you think is going to be the first dude to come along with gene editing?
01:05:40.000
One day there's going to be a person who shows up.
01:05:43.000
Who is ridiculously jacked, that never gets tired, and is fast as fuck.
01:05:51.000
If they've figured out a way, I mean, how much can they manipulate cardio when you have big muscles?
01:05:58.000
We're going to find out if there's a point where the physical structure won't hold any more muscle, and you can't get any more oxygen through it.
01:06:06.000
You only get to a diminishing point of returns.
01:06:19.000
They think they might have already done something like that with Corellin.
01:06:25.000
The crazy conspiracy theory was always that Corellin, who was one of the most feared wrestlers, if not the most feared wrestler ever, who just would take 300 pound men and hoist him through the air, and he moved like a panther, and he's a big giant guy.
01:06:46.000
One of those sports magazines where he's got his hand on his mom and his dad.
01:07:04.000
Go to that black and white photo of him looking ferocious.
01:07:07.000
Look at that picture of him right there with the shirt.
01:07:26.000
Bro, he would pick dudes up and they would go for a motherfucking ride.
01:07:32.000
Guys would try to flatten out and lay their whole body on the ground in hopes that he couldn't pick them up.
01:07:38.000
He would clinch his hands underneath their belly, hoist them up in the air like a fucking pillowcase, and smash them on the ground.
01:07:55.000
But Rulon Gardner beat him in the twilight of his career.
01:07:59.000
But he only beat him by a point because he made Carell and separate his hands.
01:08:06.000
It was like a controversial new changing in point system.
01:08:22.000
And he had one, I think he had a fixed fight in Japan.
01:08:31.000
It looked like he had- Tension and fucking Floyd was fixed.
01:08:44.000
No, it was a guy who's a legitimate 155 pound man who is fighting...
01:08:49.000
Do you see Intention crying and rolling around on the ground?
01:08:52.000
A dude who fights at 126. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
01:08:56.000
Who's fighting against the greatest boxer of all time.
01:09:05.000
And they're like, yeah, here's Floyd Mayweather, dude.
01:09:07.000
I don't think they thought he was going to knock him out.
01:09:12.000
He's a beast, but when it comes to, I have, but when it comes to boxing.
01:09:15.000
But they were really thinking he could hit him.
01:09:18.000
This was the thought, was that Tension is really a striking genius.
01:09:29.000
And in Japan, the fact that this kid's only like 18 or 19 years old and been fucking people up, including knocking out world Muay Thai champions, so they threw him to the wolves real early on.
01:10:09.000
Dude, he's a great kickboxer, but he's not kickboxing.
01:10:13.000
You're not going to outbox Floyd Mayweather when you've never had a professional boxing match.
01:10:23.000
But he's also amazing against guys that are 126 pounds.
01:10:26.000
That's so 18. Dude, look how small he is compared to Floyd.
01:10:30.000
And look how easily Floyd blocks those punches.
01:10:56.000
He gets him in his corner, He hit him with the left hook to the temple.
01:11:04.000
He fucking cracked a dude who's a legit 30 pounds lighter than him on the temple and dropped him.
01:11:18.000
First of all, there was a stumble in there as well.
01:11:38.000
And now Floyd moves in, and the kid's even trying to fire back.
01:11:43.000
Floyd's standing right in front of him with his fucking hands up.
01:12:05.000
We've all seen guys get hit with shit that didn't look like much, and they go down.
01:12:09.000
We've all seen guys get touched on the chin, and they fall down.
01:12:16.000
Do you remember Travis Luter versus Marvin Eastman?
01:12:30.000
One, two, right on the fucking head and he falls down.
01:12:35.000
This kid got fucked up by the best boxer of all time.
01:12:40.000
None of this made any sense in the first place.
01:12:50.000
Well, I'm just saying, for the argument, for my first one, it looked questionable.
01:12:53.000
To me, if you watch the whole thing play out in slow motion, what happens is you see a left hook, and then you see a stumble, and Floyd moves in, and their legs tangle up a little bit, and then Floyd hits him with a right hand when he's on his way down.
01:13:10.000
Did you see Manny Pacquiao signed with him now?
01:13:16.000
I mean, the whole fight that I was watching that video, it didn't look like he had one in.
01:13:19.000
Dude, he probably didn't even want to wear a mouthpiece.
01:13:37.000
What was the guy's name that wore the wrestling mask when he fought Crow Cop?
01:13:43.000
That's one of the best pro-cop KOs of all time.
01:13:53.000
But anyway, Crow Cop hits this dude with the perfect left high kick.
01:13:58.000
The guy goes down like he got shot and blood starts leaking under.
01:14:05.000
But when he lands this kick, dude, the end is so crazy.
01:14:12.000
Some dude who is a pro wrestler who decides to fight one of the best kickboxers of all time to ever.
01:14:31.000
During Pride, when it ended, the dude is sitting there.
01:14:33.000
You see blood trickling out from underneath the mask.
01:14:39.000
I think it was something in his neck or his heart.
01:14:55.000
The thing with Whitaker, I was trying to bring it up, but you guys were going too fast.
01:14:59.000
He had an abscess on his, not a torn rectum, but it's in the same area.
01:15:04.000
And then because he was taking antibiotics for that, he got chicken pox.
01:15:08.000
Which once he had that, his whole team was like, you're not fighting.
01:15:25.000
But probably from some sort of an injury, right?
01:15:42.000
I did deadlifts or something and went, let's not do that.
01:16:14.000
If you want to know what happens, stay offline.
01:16:19.000
I mean, we can't give away any spoilers, but how good are those goddamn special effects?
01:16:28.000
They had to tie everything together, so it's slow.
01:16:37.000
They also need, let's be honest, you can't do this all in eight more episodes.
01:16:48.000
I think this first one's the shortest one, right?
01:16:53.000
Isn't it crazy that the show is the most popular show in the world and they're going to stop it?
01:17:03.000
If you're in show business, they have the most popular show in the world.
01:17:10.000
But I mean, you know how hard it is to get the most popular fiction show and one of the greatest fiction shows, if not the greatest ever?
01:17:22.000
Like, how many watched last night, do you think?
01:17:27.000
17.7 million people watch something on HBO. That's crazy.
01:17:31.000
You know what that would be like if it was Fox?
01:17:33.000
If it was CBS? I was just thinking like Roseanne was like 40 million.
01:17:39.000
Because everybody has regular channels, but everybody doesn't have HBO, especially today with Netflix and all these different things.
01:17:46.000
Dude, how many people would watch it if it was on YouTube?
01:17:53.000
Yeah, I watch it all the time on my TV on YouTube.
01:17:57.000
Do you use it for Apple TV? Well, no, I have Dish.
01:18:14.000
Like, there's Vimeo, but, like, YouTube, in terms of, like, how much content is online.
01:18:19.000
They have a big competitor that not a lot of people talk about.
01:18:25.000
There's a lot of people that have had to move, and they put their content on there, whether or not they're doing, like, there's tits out or whatever, too, but a lot just uncensored, and, like, there are people actually making money on there also.
01:18:45.000
When is VR porn going to really start taking off?
01:18:49.000
When those headsets don't become so cumbersome to wear.
01:19:03.000
That brain tracking thing, though, would be an interesting thought.
01:19:10.000
Meanwhile, Jamie's just thinking about animal attacks.
01:19:16.000
Do we know how many users does YouTube have compared to everyone?
01:19:23.000
You don't even have to have an account to go watch a video.
01:19:34.000
And the thing about it is that there's no one else like it.
01:19:46.000
I swear on my life, I've never done a legal stream ever because I was thinking I was taking away from the fighters.
01:19:57.000
I got probably 2,000 DMs of links and I'm just thinking, this is how people watch the fights now.
01:20:06.000
I was in a coffee shop before I came here and the guys were fight fans and listened to my shows and they go, man, what did you think of the fights?
01:20:16.000
And it's four young guys and they go, come on, man.
01:20:24.000
But I think it's actually good for the fighters.
01:20:29.000
And that's all they care about because the UFC's going to pay them a finite number no matter what.
01:20:33.000
And it's probably also good for the sport that way, too, because more people see it, more people see how awesome it is.
01:20:38.000
The more people that saw that last fight, the more people are going to recognize how...
01:20:46.000
Because think about ESPN Plus and when you have to buy the pay-per-view, you're limiting how many people can see that by buying these paywalls.
01:20:53.000
So with these illegal streams, at least for the fighter's sake, everyone can see these great matchups.
01:21:04.000
I love the UFC. Love the fucking UFC. I don't want it to do bad.
01:21:10.000
But when I see what I have to go through as a diehard fan...
01:21:33.000
They've got to make it easy for people to just get it.
01:21:37.000
And once they make it easier, once everybody's set up, I think the numbers will go up.
01:21:40.000
I think most people don't want to go through the hassle of going through a stream and putting it on their television.
01:21:46.000
And if you can get that ESPN Plus on everything, that's the other problem, right?
01:21:51.000
If you have, like, DirecTV, and that's the only way your TV's set up.
01:21:58.000
You know, what if your internet's not strong enough to stream it?
01:22:00.000
Even with all that, but then, yeah, if you're not strong enough to stream it, you're fucked.
01:22:08.000
But now, if you're 18 to 36, $80, and let's say you're struggling to get by, $80 is a lot of money.
01:22:28.000
But if you want to see the pay-per-views, you've got to pay $80.
01:22:32.000
Yeah, but how much would a year cost of ESPN Plus?
01:22:38.000
So, for $79, you get the fight and a year of ESPN Plus.
01:22:46.000
You just get all the fights, all the fight nights, every fight that has happened.
01:23:00.000
So if there's 10 pay-per-views and they're $80, that'd be another...
01:23:09.000
You might get to buy two for one in the future.
01:23:11.000
There's a lot of content on there now, too, because they put the pay-per-views up there.
01:23:15.000
They put a bunch of pay-per-views up there, like the older fights.
01:23:30.000
There's other stuff on the Fight Pass that you can't get on ESPN Plus.
01:23:36.000
Eddie Bravo jiu-jitsu stuff, that kind of thing.
01:23:51.000
Yeah, pretty sure that in the lead up to one of these fights.
01:23:54.000
Well, you can click on it, but you can't go back and say, watch UFC 183. You can't?
01:24:05.000
That would be kind of cannibalizing Fight Pass.
01:24:08.000
They only have the stuff that was aired through ESPN. From now on, they'll have all that stuff.
01:24:14.000
They're building their library from this point.
01:24:16.000
Must have been a pain in the ass, but I know Fight Pass, like, what?
01:24:21.000
UFC 229, the Khabib Conor you can watch on here.
01:24:26.000
Yeah, so that does have, but only certain ones.
01:24:37.000
There's some, but it's not like Fight Pass where you can go through and see all the guys' fights.
01:24:44.000
Fight Pass for me is like, I like throwing up some shit that I've never watched before.
01:24:50.000
Like where, you know, just some dudes I've never seen fight before.
01:24:55.000
I like doing that when I work out, for whatever reason.
01:24:58.000
Well, ESPN now, though, but on ESPN 2, those throw up classic fights.
01:25:09.000
But again, with all this ESPN and buying this and $79.99, I've never been a dark web guy.
01:25:16.000
And when I clicked on this, I'm like, dude, this is a problem.
01:25:22.000
And when I talk to the young fans around, they're like, yeah, man, why would we pay $80?
01:25:28.000
Because I used to always think you'd be fucking over the fighters.
01:25:30.000
Do you understand the tech knowledge behind it?
01:25:38.000
From where I've watched, they can fight them, but you can't stop them.
01:25:49.000
He put a paper on his gym and it came after him.
01:25:57.000
Or they can track the IP address and we're like, hold up, this is a gym where you owe us this much money.
01:26:03.000
And then they look at the capacity or this is how much it is to do that.
01:26:06.000
So he paid just this, whatever, $69.99 at the time.
01:26:10.000
You're doing it from a public gym and it fits $300?
01:26:18.000
Like on his laptop, but streamed it on a big thing.
01:26:24.000
So for people that are outside of the United States, the ESPN Plus thing doesn't.
01:26:30.000
They still watch through Fight Pass or whatever.
01:26:37.000
Like, English fans were making fun of me when I was having proms.
01:26:48.000
They don't have a pay-per-view thing in England the way we have it here.
01:27:05.000
If someone's fighting and it's a crazy fight and you've got to pay $70 for the HD... Think how many people bought Floyd Mayweather Pacquiao for $100?
01:27:16.000
They've never gotten cheaper from what I remember in my whole life.
01:27:21.000
It seems like it's always in the $59, $99, $69, $99, something like that.
01:27:33.000
When I couldn't figure it out and I knew four of my favorite fighters, I panicked.
01:27:37.000
Dude, listen, I love working for the UFC, but I used to fucking love watching, and I still love watching a good pay-per-view.
01:27:53.000
Listen, if I did watch it on the dark web, I'm saying I did.
01:27:56.000
But if I did, I did buy a Stylebender shirt to give back to the UFC. Oh, that's good.
01:28:21.000
Do you think fighters must have some sort of a garment and apparel deal?
01:28:35.000
Seems like an unknown fighter would be prevented from doing that.
01:28:38.000
Would be a little strange to stop from trying to build their name.
01:28:55.000
He makes the suits that I wear for the UFC. You're right, bro.
01:28:58.000
So as a fighter, you can have your own shirt and slang it?
01:29:12.000
Like, I know that I Know You, that Yoel Romero shirt, which I almost wore today.
01:29:24.000
It looks like the Matrix is all different colors.
01:29:31.000
He showed who the fuck he is in that fifth round.
01:29:49.000
And that's what he said when I interviewed him.
01:29:57.000
He was talking to himself in that fifth round and he was saying something to that.
01:30:08.000
Dude, think about if, let's say Francis becomes world champion, which is definitely a possibility, he's number two.
01:30:18.000
Well, if Daniel Cormier decides to retire, and Francis keeps getting better, I mean, Francis has only been doing mixed martial arts for what, five years?
01:30:35.000
I told him, wait it out, let DC do his thing, and you just go do your thing.
01:30:39.000
Because he just kept saying, whatever gets me entitled, I don't know what you're talking about.
01:30:42.000
Let's not fight DC. Let him go out and do his thing, then you go.
01:30:46.000
What that dude needs is a best friend who's a super heavyweight wrestler.
01:30:51.000
Just a best friend who's like, bro, I'm not going to hurt you.
01:30:58.000
That guy's like 55. No, no, I'm saying a guy like that.
01:31:01.000
You should watch a wrestling match with him because it was so preposterous.
01:31:16.000
I used to have it in my favorites on my iPhone.
01:31:19.000
I'd pull it up every now and then just to remind me of what a pussy I am.
01:31:23.000
It's the black and white one with him grabbing the guy and all the fucking teeth and the muscles.
01:31:52.000
He's driving you with all his fucking weight, all that momentum and power, and he's knocking you the fuck out, man.
01:32:03.000
Reebok, back in the day, was sponsoring Corellon.
01:32:21.000
I think he was like 6'9 or something like that.
01:32:35.000
Oh man, when he was fighting, I think he was 300 plus pounds.
01:32:50.000
I mean, I think, you know, that whole Russian program, they probably have a very prestigious position.
01:32:56.000
Yeah, wasn't he undefeated forever to Rulon Beaton?
01:32:59.000
Yeah, but again, the way he beat him, if you could please Google that, because I think Rulon Garter beat him, and this does count, but by getting him to separate his hands.
01:33:09.000
They had to do a video review, even, of something that happened, and then Rulon was awarded the point, and then that made Carellin be extra aggressive.
01:33:19.000
He said that was really hard for him to get his hands around in the first place.
01:33:23.000
Remember when Rulon fought MMA? He was blasting people with a jab.
01:33:28.000
He was like getting hit with the bottom of a dumpster.
01:33:34.000
Then he went on a hike and got lost in Colorado and lost his toes and fingers?
01:33:43.000
I think he was snowmobiling and it broke down and he got frostbite and lost toes.
01:33:48.000
He lost at least one toe, and I think he kept fighting, man.
01:33:51.000
I think he fought in Japan, and I think they let him wear shoes.
01:34:01.000
He had eaten a lot after he retired from fighting.
01:34:16.000
Go to Rulon Gardner in Pride when you see him in shape as an MMA fighter.
01:34:24.000
Everyone should be thanking their lucky stars that Russian freak didn't decide to start fucking doing that.
01:34:51.000
But I think they're both Olympic gold medalists.
01:35:02.000
Yoshida started out, he was a gold medalist in judo and was fighting with the Gion.
01:35:10.000
Yeah, because I remember that fight because they were saying they're both gold medalists.
01:35:15.000
Another great fighter that was fighting during the Pride days.
01:35:19.000
Rulon Gardner was so much bigger than him, dude.
01:35:23.000
Go back up and you see that photo of the two of them standing right there.
01:35:29.000
That's how you get just an understanding of the difference in size.
01:35:42.000
Yoshida was getting stunned by this giant heavyweight jab.
01:35:52.000
I don't know if that was his first love, though.
01:35:58.000
He said he was burnt out of wrestling, too, though.
01:35:59.000
I remember seeing that, and then he went to MMA. That's tough, man.
01:36:02.000
After all the years of wrestling, especially at that international level.
01:36:05.000
How many of those guys do you think, in the top echelon of amateur wrestling, if they just decided, you know what, fuck this, I'm going right into MMA right now?
01:36:16.000
How many of those guys would be a giant nightmare for everybody?
01:36:28.000
And just the knowledge and the mental fortitude it takes to become Jordan Burroughs?
01:36:35.000
That's why it's so crazy that Askren and him are going to go at it while Askren is in the middle of embarking on an MMA career.
01:36:44.000
I don't know wrestling that well to the point where does Astro stand a chance?
01:36:49.000
We're going to get lit up on the internet for this, but does he even stand a chance?
01:36:57.000
I don't think he would take it if he didn't either.
01:37:10.000
Well, I would imagine Jordan Burroughs has got to be the favorite because...
01:37:16.000
Yeah, because Askren has been fighting MMA for so many years now with one and then before that with Bellator.
01:37:22.000
The Bellator one is such a weird situation because he was clearly dominant and clearly their champion.
01:37:33.000
Because if there's anybody that's going to be able to give him a really hard time by being sneaky and creative and using slick counter punches and having good wrestling takedown defense and good defense.
01:37:56.000
Because he has such a giant advantage on the feet.
01:37:58.000
Especially coming off of the Darren Till fight.
01:38:02.000
Him being able to knock out Darren Till like that, that's a giant statement.
01:38:10.000
I mean, he's a lightning-fast knockout puncher, knockout kicker, nasty Muay Thai skills, and to see Masvidal crack him like that and drop him...
01:38:24.000
So, it's like, there's never been a better time, like Shab and I were saying, to like fights.
01:38:32.000
There's never been a better group of champions and contenders either.
01:38:41.000
I was trying to find out if there's odds on the fight or what's going on.
01:38:49.000
They're also fighting, but they're weighing in at 74 kilograms, which is 163. Put that up so I can see it.
01:39:20.000
That's the best feeling in the world when you have to piss for a long time.
01:40:04.000
Oh, no, no, because it doesn't get for the pay-per-view.
01:40:09.000
That's a bold move on the UFC's part to go with ESPN Plus for all their pay-per-views.
01:40:41.000
Listen, I love ESPN, so I grew up with ESPN. Listen, man.
01:40:55.000
See, right now, there's a lot of people out there that got fucked because they might have a nice TV, but it's not set up for the internet.
01:41:03.000
So, it's going to take a little bit of an adjustment period, you know, and eventually, you know, some people don't want to have to go out and fucking buy something that's internet ready, like a TV that's internet ready.
01:41:15.000
To watch it on your TV. If you've got a TV at home and you've got a satellite and you don't know how to fucking set up your TV for the internet.
01:41:23.000
They're banking on the people who figure this shit out in the future.
01:41:26.000
But what I'm saying is it's going to be a bit of a learning curve for a lot of people before they absolutely know this is how to do it.
01:41:36.000
But you have to do it, whether it's now or in six years, you have to do it.
01:41:39.000
You don't want to do it in six years, because then everybody will already have done it.
01:41:45.000
So six years down the line, everybody knows, pay-per-view tonight on ESPN+. That's what they're going to say.
01:41:50.000
They're going to say, dude, pay-per-view tonight on ESPN+. I bet you it's not ESPN+. I bet you in six years, just ESPN. There won't be any+.
01:42:04.000
It's funny because the only reason to have regular TV for a lot of people is live sports.
01:42:11.000
Regular people, a lot of people, like, look, you can get a whole fucking year of whatever TV show you want to watch on iTunes, or you can watch Netflix.
01:42:22.000
Right, but remember how much it used to cost to get, like, cable?
01:42:32.000
I did have a dish sponsor for, like, the last eight years, and they were like, hey, buddy, no more.
01:42:38.000
It's like a hundred-something dollars a month now?
01:42:41.000
Now think of that in terms of what Netflix costs.
01:42:58.000
Amazon Prime is even more interesting because if you have Amazon Prime for shopping, you get Amazon Prime for free, like the TV. You watch the TV shows.
01:43:17.000
Yeah, they went over there because they fired them and the other two guys went, fuck it, we're going with them.
01:43:22.000
Well, Jeremy Clarkson got drunk and punched some dude, and so they fired him.
01:43:32.000
And so, apparently, they just ended that show, and he was crying.
01:43:41.000
Yeah, I think they committed to do a couple of seasons.
01:44:08.000
Imagine if you're trying to shoot a sitcom right now.
01:44:10.000
Could you imagine if a guy got divorced from a woman who's like a duchess or some shit and made out in the deal as good as Jeff Bezos' wife was going to make out?
01:44:20.000
Did she get like a billion dollars or something like that?
01:44:26.000
They said as soon as they divorce, she's going to be like top 10 richest in the world.
01:44:29.000
He gave her like 25% of his stock or some crazy shit.
01:44:45.000
She's hanging out with that dude when he was like 24 going, this is a fucking psycho.
01:45:02.000
I'm going to replace the American flag with that.
01:45:09.000
And he's like shaved his head, TRT tan, stylus, ballin'.
01:45:25.000
Sure, that costs you about $40 billion, but you gotta be happy.
01:45:37.000
He might be making so much money that if you think about it, like, when did Amazon even start?
01:45:47.000
What's gonna be like 15 years from now when he's on fucking gene doping and they got a...
01:46:02.000
He's going to be 85 years old, running shit, looking 30. How much money do you need if you're that guy?
01:46:13.000
And is enthusiastic and still has this drive to succeed.
01:46:18.000
When you start getting that kind of momentum, that's why companies like...
01:46:22.000
That's why you get people like Elizabeth Warren.
01:46:25.000
I don't know too much about her politics, but one of the things that I do know about her is she wants to shut down or break up some of these big companies.
01:46:35.000
I forget what big companies she was talking about, but that would be an example.
01:46:54.000
And then they get to this point where they can make more money more easily, more often.
01:47:00.000
And then they get to this point where if you hit the right river at the perfect time with the most ambitious person ever at the helm, and you got this fucking boat running, running down this river, just passing everybody.
01:47:16.000
It was the perfect guy at the perfect time with the perfect adjusting to the role of Scrooge McDuck.
01:47:57.000
She's actually the only third richest in the world.
01:48:01.000
They made a deal last month, or this month, actually, to give her $35 billion.
01:48:41.000
But also, I think Jeff Bezos had a weird agreement with his new hot girl where they're not having sex until the divorce is final or some shit like that.
01:48:56.000
They're staying away from each other until they...
01:48:58.000
...are divorced and married or something like that.
01:49:04.000
If you want to live like a movie, you've got to write a script like a movie script.
01:49:15.000
And then when you get married, make everybody dress up like priests or some shit.
01:49:34.000
You're supposed to do whatever the fuck you want to do.
01:49:37.000
I know, but at what point do you just stop kind of...
01:49:47.000
Like, if you're The Rock, do you need to do 19 movies?
01:50:09.000
When you meet him in real life, you're like, oh my goodness.
01:50:38.000
I love the fact that I can go to his Instagram at any time, and he's always super positive, and he's always super motivated and motivational, and he's always getting after it.
01:50:50.000
But I wonder what it is in him that you have to do this many movies.
01:51:00.000
And he also knows that he inspires people with that work ethic.
01:51:06.000
Is not just the things that he accomplishes, but how he makes people feel.
01:51:13.000
I think the same thing you could say about Kevin Hart in a lot of ways, man.
01:51:16.000
Don't you think it's for selfish reasons too, though?
01:51:19.000
I'm not saying he's a bad guy, but there's also this ego.
01:51:25.000
Which he gets from these movies and red carpets.
01:51:41.000
For anybody who does anything really good like that, you've got to be doing some of it for yourself.
01:51:48.000
What he's getting out of it is what he gets out of it, but what he gives out of it, it's not just entertaining with that guy.
01:51:55.000
What's interesting is he's also super motivational, right?
01:52:04.000
Now, before social media, when you had an action star, you just had the guy that you went to see in the movie and you saw like...
01:52:12.000
You know, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Terminator.
01:52:21.000
The Rock is The Rock, and he's also The Rock on social media.
01:52:28.000
Because he just talks right to the fucking camera.
01:52:31.000
He knows what he wants to say, but he's speaking from the heart.
01:52:37.000
You know who's done even better than this, which The Rocks might be the best, but on the other side of this, Will Smith.
01:52:44.000
Will Smith went, hold up, okay, so the movie's doing alright, but Instagram's the new shit?
01:52:49.000
Alright, let me focus on this, and it's, I mean, ridiculous how good he is on there.
01:52:55.000
Remember when he did that fucking dance on the roof of that bridge?
01:53:07.000
He's one of the most inspirational guys I've ever talked to.
01:53:27.000
I got tired just listening to him talk about all his businesses.
01:53:41.000
And he said he only sleeps a few hours a night.
01:53:43.000
But I mean, he must be just, from the moment he gets up, just fucking foot on the gas.
01:53:49.000
I wish I was one of those guys who only needed four hours and could just do function at a high level.
01:53:57.000
I don't think, but I mean, do you really wish you were that guy, though, that always hit the gas all day long?
01:54:03.000
No, I'm saying I could get four Monday through Sunday, and then before my son gets up at five, I'm up at three, I get my workouts in, I can do all my research for my shows, and then I'm off and running.
01:54:17.000
So if I do a set tomorrow at the Comedy Store, I get home at midnight.
01:54:21.000
No matter what, I'm up at 5, 5.30 with my son, and I go to work.
01:54:28.000
When there's certain guys, they just need four hours.
01:54:52.000
If you could get that, you'd probably got most of your bases covered.
01:55:07.000
And, like, I had a Zevia last night while I was watching Game of Thrones.
01:55:24.000
Yeah, you just want to be able to sit back and slurp that Zevia.
01:55:31.000
Do you ever sip on whiskey or anything at night with the wifey watching Game of Thrones?
01:55:35.000
I'll drink a little wine with dinner, but I don't drink whiskey at home very often.
01:55:39.000
I drink whiskey when I'm looking to get fucked up.
01:55:45.000
So if I become an alcoholic in three years, it all stems...
01:55:49.000
Because when we were doing that set, I think at the improv, you're like, you want a shot of whiskey?
01:55:54.000
You're like, I'm telling you, it helps you with your nerves.
01:55:56.000
So I was like, all right, this guy's been doing it forever.
01:56:05.000
Every time I do comedy now, I have a shot of whiskey.
01:56:31.000
It's not the best thing in the world, but it's not that bad.
01:56:34.000
But it's a good amount to give you like a little, just a little fuck it juice.
01:56:48.000
You know like that Buffalo Trace shit that we drank when we were doing the podcast?
01:56:59.000
I was thinking about orange some for my house because I like that whiskey so much.
01:57:03.000
I'm like, I don't need that in my life because I'll just start drinking.
01:57:18.000
Because if I want to get a little tipsy, I want to be with my boys and fuck around.
01:57:29.000
But if I had a man cave where guys came over and we played poker, we'd drink some whiskey.
01:57:40.000
I might get drunk and say something inappropriate.
01:57:58.000
You start playing Hank Williams Jr.'s songs real loud.
01:58:06.000
There's some fucking, you go into that deep country music.
01:58:09.000
What were you just telling me about country music?
01:58:17.000
Yeah, so it's like one of the biggest songs out at the moment.
01:58:20.000
It's number one on the regular charts and the country charts, right?
01:58:26.000
Everyone's Lil Nas X. So he was on the country charts.
01:58:31.000
They took him off because this isn't country, man.
01:58:40.000
Yeah, so I think what also had to do with this is he used, whether he did it or not, I don't know, but he used the video game Red Dead Redemption and some of the cool graphics and then made a rap song, country rap song.
01:58:52.000
It's called Country Trap is what they're calling it.
01:58:54.000
That's why it's a different thing, but it's catchy and it's based around this kind of stuff.
01:59:03.000
The DJs on all the stations were just ripping it off of YouTube and playing it.
01:59:08.000
And then Billboard was like, this isn't a country song, take it off.
01:59:12.000
Because that almost, it's like Streisand effect, it got bigger.
01:59:22.000
Because it doesn't, and their description was that it doesn't meet the qualifications to meet country or whatever.
01:59:30.000
And then there's video of him and Billy Ray Cyrus in the studio.
01:59:33.000
You know, it's so interesting when you're looking at the footage of it, how cool that fucking game looks.
01:59:40.000
Red Redemption 2. But what a great idea to rap over Red Dead Redemption.
01:59:52.000
You guys beat the shit out of me whatever game we played last time.
02:00:10.000
He wants to go to the paper vendor and get a newspaper and bake his own bread.
02:00:25.000
Dude, I like the way his dude dances with a cowboy hat on, though.
02:00:30.000
It's getting played at all the festivals all the last couple weeks.
02:00:41.000
Let Billy Ray get his whistle wet at Coachella.
02:00:48.000
He's even caught on to this song and all that kind of shit.
02:01:24.000
Everybody was doing the Achy Breaky Heart back then.
02:01:27.000
I bet that must have fucking freaked him out, man.
02:01:30.000
To be as famous he was back then for that brief moment in time.
02:01:37.000
Like back then you could get away with things and now it's a nightmare.
02:01:51.000
I'm not doing stand-up anymore because I got a TV show.
02:01:57.000
I mean, I worked hard forever, and now we're going to do a new television show.
02:02:02.000
It's called Let's Hunt and Kill Billy Ray Cyrus.
02:02:09.000
But he said, like, grab him by his faggy ponytail.
02:02:20.000
Because Billy Ray only had that one hit, right?
02:02:25.000
Maybe he had, like, one or two other songs that were kind of popular, but that song was giganti.
02:02:41.000
They get mad at you when you're wearing those shoes.
02:02:52.000
The best thing she ever did to me, the most impactful, this was the first time I realized she could really sing, was that song Jolene.
02:03:23.000
They did it at the Grammys this year, but the American Idol.
02:03:50.000
At least American Idol are people pursuing their dreams.
02:04:37.000
I watched all the old seasons leading up to this.
02:04:42.000
That's just, it's just like a fun little escape where you're just locked into that.
02:04:46.000
And to me, you know, Paul Mooney said to me once, a long time ago, he goes, if you really want to write, he goes, go get entertained first.
02:05:04.000
You're entertained and then you're going to want to write.
02:05:08.000
There was great advice that I never heard anybody say before, but it made sense.
02:05:12.000
It's like, go get entertained, and it'll fire you up, and then just take that fire, and then just start creating.
02:05:20.000
Yeah, it's a great piece of advice for young people, because I know there's been many times where I've seen someone murder at the store.
02:05:31.000
I just wanted to run home and bust out that fucking laptop and come on.
02:05:44.000
If I'm on my way to the gig, I almost always try to listen to last night's set or whatever new shit that I'm working on.
02:05:55.000
See if there's any way that I want to stop and rewind and maybe slow it down or speed it up or do it different.
02:06:00.000
If I don't take those extra, like say if I do four sets a week but I listen to three sets a week, that's seven sets instead of four sets.
02:06:09.000
And I think that's a difference, like a rep thing.
02:06:15.000
But I think it counts almost as much as doing a set.
02:06:20.000
It's not as much, because doing a set, what happens is you get that spontaneity, and you get the flow, and you get the instinct, the feeling when it hit the punchline.
02:06:32.000
It's a mental rep, but it's also like a third-party examiner.
02:06:36.000
It's almost like you could watch it from the outside.
02:06:48.000
If you could just do that and say it like yourself...
02:06:51.000
And say it like yourself, but then listen like you would listen to it, too.
02:06:57.000
Yeah, listen as a person who's also, you know, you do it.
02:07:02.000
But sometimes you get caught up in doing something a certain way, and it's hard to break out of the pattern.
02:07:11.000
It's like you're comfortable with, like, God, I've got to get into this bit.
02:07:15.000
And then you'll stumble into this one way, and then you keep doing it that way.
02:07:19.000
When really the right way to do it is to kind of break it down and rebuild it.
02:07:25.000
And I've done that a few times in broken bits where they never worked again.
02:07:27.000
Sometimes it just, they don't bounce back, you know?
02:07:36.000
You did that because you're getting ready for your 420 show, yeah?
02:08:15.000
I mean, obviously you're going to kill it, but I find it awkward.
02:08:45.000
He's one of the most important figures in the stand-up world today, in my opinion.
02:09:01.000
Where one guy's just always catching triangles on people.
02:09:05.000
Super aggressive and always catching triangles.
02:09:09.000
And it sort of changes your perception of how often someone can catch someone in a triangle.
02:09:28.000
Like, with Bill, and maybe it's because I'm around Brian, and Brian's always like, you know, you gotta be careful if you say this stuff, especially in the culture side right now, you gotta be careful with this.
02:09:38.000
So I've started, like, almost reserved, and then Burr went up at the Laugh Factor, and I was like, oh, shit, you can do that?
02:10:01.000
Well, I don't know if I'm supposed to be saying this.
02:10:09.000
I don't know if that's been announced, so I'm going to shut my mouth.
02:10:23.000
He was making the comics in the back and we were just watching like, what the fuck?
02:10:37.000
I see a lot of guys navigate away from that because they're afraid of offending people.
02:10:41.000
And then Burr gets up and he's like, shut the fuck up.
02:10:43.000
Well, people are taking comedy as much more of a statement than if you wrote a movie where some fucked up things happen.
02:10:53.000
And that's probably coming too if they let people take comedy.
02:10:59.000
It kind of falls in line with what could be next.
02:11:03.000
But if you decide that someone's saying something...
02:11:06.000
That they actually mean that, and they shouldn't be able to say that, even though it's funny and it made people laugh, and the guy's clearly joking.
02:11:19.000
You're running up a greased hill, because then why is Quentin Tarantino allowed to write a movie where a bunch of people get killed?
02:11:28.000
Why is he allowed to write a movie that might incite violence?
02:11:31.000
Why is he allowed to write a movie where people use racial slurs and shoot people over nothing?
02:11:43.000
And that kind of nonsense is an episode of fucking South Park.
02:11:50.000
It could sway back the other way, but you gotta realize we could take a little break and then have it come back hard again.
02:11:55.000
Or the guys like Louis C.K. who's selling out everywhere and doing great comedy.
02:12:00.000
He could sell out fucking Staples Center right now multiple times in a row.
02:12:20.000
He goes, I like to jerk off and I don't want to be alone.
02:12:25.000
I like to jerk off and I don't like to be alone.
02:12:36.000
I don't approve of it, but he didn't molest anyone.
02:12:38.000
I don't think we know exactly what happened either.
02:12:42.000
But all I do know is he could sell out Staples Center.
02:12:46.000
Because I think most guys and fans go, alright, man.
02:12:53.000
The other thing that we always have to think about whenever we talk about anything is that we're dudes.
02:12:58.000
And so whenever you're talking about someone jerking off in front of you, just imagine...
02:13:06.000
The only reason why a girl can jerk off in front of you and it's hilarious is because she can't rape you.
02:13:13.000
See, if a guy is jerking off in front of you, most guys are bigger and stronger than most women.
02:13:21.000
but most guys are bigger and stronger and men make all the rape women aren't out there raping dudes true right it's all men so if a guy has his dick out and he's jerking off scary shit that's why it's scary it's never it's creepy yeah if a girl if you go over a girl's house and for whatever reason she goes i want you to watch this sit down and fucking you fucking fuck she starts fingering herself fucking and you're like whoa yeah but you would laugh you would laugh
02:13:49.000
and you would come back to here and we would talk about it because i know i could get out at any time yeah We'd be crying laughing.
02:13:58.000
But if a guy is with, say if you have a daughter, and your daughter weighs 110 pounds, and she's with a guy, and the guy wants to jerk off in front of her, and he has to do it, and she says yes because she's scared.
02:14:15.000
And see, he hasn't really said anything other than the stories are true.
02:14:24.000
This comes from a guy that sounds like, you know, because you have two daughters.
02:14:29.000
Well, you have to think like that as a human being, right?
02:14:32.000
Yeah, but I'm saying to you, it's probably the first thing you think of because you have two daughters.
02:14:39.000
I can't say too much because I don't know, but...
02:14:48.000
But I don't think he did what a lot of people are claiming he did in terms of...
02:14:53.000
...how often he did it or who he did it or what the circumstances were.
02:14:56.000
But either way, there's no defending when it was bad.
02:15:22.000
These are also things that he did more than a decade ago, right?
02:15:36.000
What would people like someone to do when they're coming back from something like that?
02:15:39.000
Well, I think they're mad because there's only a year, and then he's back and killing it because he's so good at comedy.
02:15:47.000
Well, there was that, but there was also the material that got leaked when he came back.
02:15:51.000
So people were upset at the jokes, the Parkland joke.
02:15:56.000
That shit falls in line with how he's always done jokes, though.
02:16:11.000
I mean, it's just like Quentin Tarantino has a style of making movies.
02:16:15.000
His style of comedy is to say fucked up things.
02:16:17.000
So that compounded the fact that people were upset at him that a year ago he said he was going to take some time off.
02:16:24.000
I think it's really important to know that I don't know what happened.
02:16:34.000
It's never good when someone's upset that you jerked off in front of them.
02:16:41.000
But also, him losing $35 million and being out a year, I think people are upset that it was such a quick turnaround.
02:16:55.000
But as a comic, not to be able to do what you love.
02:16:57.000
Let's imagine that he's going to live another 50 years.
02:17:32.000
I mean the real question is, would he have even been able to pursue that weight class?
02:17:40.000
What you were saying in terms of having the advantage of the EPO. I wonder if he would have been able to pursue training the same way.
02:17:52.000
I don't know what the thought process was, but it's definitely not good.
02:17:59.000
It doesn't take away from how talented and skillful he is as a fighter.
02:18:03.000
If that's the only time he did it, it's kind of understandable.
02:18:10.000
But I think, honestly, all bullshit aside, I think you are right as far as don't test anybody else.
02:18:21.000
One of the things they were saying that to test everyone for EPO would cost an additional $2.5 million a year.
02:18:37.000
What Staubman and Kelvin did, and Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier, they should be set for quite some time.
02:18:45.000
If we look over the history, and really our only testing pool would be Conor McGregor, who never has to fight again.
02:19:01.000
But let's say, you know, if you give certain fighters $20 million, they're like, you want me to do what now?
02:19:08.000
So if you're Dana, you're like, listen, look at Connor, look at Nate Diaz.
02:19:12.000
When they get this boatload of money, we can't get them to fight.
02:19:29.000
But I'm saying, if you're Dana, from his standpoint, you're like, when they get fat and happy, they don't fight.
02:19:37.000
I think it's a side effect of making boatloads of money but I think they try to make boatloads of money because it doesn't happen very often.
02:19:42.000
It only happens with a Ronda Rousey or a Conor McGregor or some gigantic huge star like a Nate Diaz.
02:19:54.000
The idea that you would try to pay people less because you want to keep them hungry because if they become giant superstars and they're not hungry, then they stop fighting.
02:20:06.000
So what you're saying is, pretend they're not giant superstars, even when they are.
02:20:10.000
No, the giant superstars still get paid, but they also have crazy demands.
02:20:18.000
There's all sorts of jockeying going on back and forth.
02:20:21.000
I mean, I don't know what happened with Nate Diaz and Dustin Poirier, but they were supposed to fight, remember?
02:20:27.000
They were supposed to fight, and then Dustin got hurt.
02:20:29.000
So Nate was scheduled for a fight, and he's never pulled out of a fight that he's been scheduled for, as far as I can remember.
02:20:34.000
No, he was going to fight that fight, and then when it happened, they made other offers.
02:20:39.000
Right, but let's imagine that if Dustin Poirier did not pull out of that fight, what if he did fight Nate Diaz, and what if Nate Diaz beat him?
02:20:47.000
Then Nate Diaz could very well have fought Max Holloway.
02:20:55.000
They might have decided to make that shit happen, you know?
02:21:02.000
I bet that would have been a very entertaining fight, too.
02:21:20.000
But Max was going to fight Dustin Poirier, and he could be...
02:21:24.000
Dustin Poirier, if he doesn't fight Khabib, if for whatever reason they decide to go with Nate over Khabib...
02:21:34.000
Well, maybe Khabib fights the winner, or the winner, rather, fights Nate.
02:21:39.000
That could be possible, too, if he really still wants to get back in there.
02:22:05.000
How about that dude in 1FC that knocked out Alvarez?
02:22:35.000
Dangerous fight for Sage Northcutt while they're standing.
02:22:40.000
I mean, Sage is a very good striker and he's very fast.
02:23:19.000
What do you think the future is going to be like?
02:23:21.000
Do you think there's going to be that this is going to be how it is for most sports?
02:23:27.000
Do you think they'll ever have that for the NFL? Oh, 100%.
02:23:33.000
The last two years, Thursday night games have been on, or at least last year was on Amazon Prime.
02:23:44.000
The NBA has talked about moving towards being maybe on Twitch.
02:23:55.000
They're smart because they're getting out way ahead.
02:23:58.000
I feel like once everyone's TV is hooked up to the internet, because right now it's not everyone.
