This Past Weekend with Theo Von - Risky Biscuits ｜ This Past Weekend #277

00:00:00.720 You know, um, it's time, baby.

00:00:07.220 It's time to, it's time to just, it's time to just wake up, I think.

00:00:17.480 You know, we rolling out this virus bed back out into the world.

00:00:24.320 You know, it's time to get your legs going.

00:00:27.320 See if you still got them.

00:00:31.000 You know, we met, when I was young, we had a man by us.

00:00:34.800 This man, Big Gilroy, they called him.

00:00:39.380 And he had what they call a little fur snake on him.

00:00:44.900 That FS hitter.

00:00:48.440 And what it was, was everybody thought, oh, he gots a snake that has a hair malfunction.

00:00:55.240 You know, a snake that's covered in hair.

00:00:57.120 But it was a squirrel that had lost its legs in an accident.

00:01:04.720 Some type of accident.

00:01:05.920 And, uh, all four of its legs had been decapitated.

00:01:12.860 Like in a, I don't even know, something shoveling.

00:01:16.620 I don't know.

00:01:17.100 I guess it could have been like an automobile accident or something if, or somehow.

00:01:23.520 But anyway, and if you looked at it, it looked like a damn fur snake.

00:01:29.380 So it was just, you know, everything's just a matter of really a perception.

00:01:38.940 It's how you look at it.

00:01:40.040 You know, we could have been sad when, uh, Gilroy would bring it.

00:01:46.320 We could have got out the Kleenex and the damn, uh, you know, a little, you know, something sad.

00:01:53.600 A little sad, you know, a little drawing a picture of the Grim Reaper, done something like that.

00:02:00.300 And said, oh, it's so sad.

00:02:01.720 You know, he gots a no-legged, you know, tree marsupial out here.

00:02:07.060 Squirrel.

00:02:08.800 But instead, everybody said, oh, wow, look at this.

00:02:12.260 He got that beautiful fur snake.

00:02:15.580 He got that footless little, little critter, hitter, gang.

00:02:31.720 Celebrate living, celebrate misery.

00:02:44.460 You know that soon we're gonna die.

00:02:51.760 Let's have some fun while we're all dying.

00:02:57.860 Celebrate dark days.

00:03:00.380 You gotta celebrate them.

00:03:04.300 You know, you could have that little, you could have that little ICU squirrel and look at it on that sad route and travel through the frickin' Tear Creek.

00:03:17.400 Or you could ride that wave of just excitement and say, how dang, Gilroy gots a fur snake.

00:03:28.380 Good to be here.

00:03:30.380 Good to be here.

00:03:31.660 I hope you are well.

00:03:32.660 I hope I'm well.

00:03:36.840 That's always a concern.

00:03:39.920 It is May.

00:03:41.020 It is 2020.

00:03:42.740 And we are traveling in the time.

00:03:46.160 At the speed we've always gone into it at.

00:03:48.460 He said, we are traveling exactly the same speed forward into time and that's where we are.

00:03:57.380 I hope you had a nice weekend and I hope you had that nice Mother's Day.

00:04:02.320 You know, the power of a mother, just that ability to create something in your body. 0.96

00:04:12.620 I mean, that's really, that's magic.

00:04:19.100 There's no, and you know, I know Siegfried died or whatever, you know.

00:04:24.960 And I know he died and him and his friend or husband, they, you know, they were lovers or something and one of them died, right?

00:04:33.960 But, but that's artificial.

00:04:38.380 You know, that beautiful gay bad boy, he couldn't pull another person out of his body. 1.00

00:04:43.060 I mean, not that he had formed, he could, I'm sure he'd done some stuff, but, you know, a mother's got that ultimate, that Rubik's Cube inside of him.

00:04:59.540 That little formulator, that ovary, and they'll roll out a baby like that. 1.00

00:05:07.020 That's God's Yahtzee right there.

00:05:09.820 I'm a roller baby, you feel me?

00:05:11.480 And I'm going to use your mother to do it. 0.99

00:05:14.720 I hope you had a nice Mother's Day.

00:05:16.500 And happy Mother's Day to all those single moms out there. 1.00

00:05:20.400 And, um, and just know that you are loved.

00:05:24.940 I, uh, what did I get to do?

00:05:28.000 I got to go to, well, I didn't, I didn't do too much, man.

00:05:32.040 I went for a run, worked out, um, cooked me up a little burger meat.

00:05:38.280 You know, the doctor has me on, uh, grass-fed meat now.

00:05:44.380 So the animals that I'm eating have been eating grass.

00:05:48.120 So it's, you know, we're all doing our part, I guess.

00:05:52.960 Uh, and, you know, I like to get me a burger made out of beef meat.

00:06:00.560 I'll do beef meat.

00:06:02.700 And I'll get that burger, that burger patty.

00:06:07.480 And, and I like to cut it up, put it in a, in a bowl.

00:06:12.480 Cut me a nice tomat in there, one of them Creole tomatoes.

00:06:16.960 Cut that bad bitch up. 1.00

00:06:18.660 Like I, like I just met that MF in a, in a Japanese alley. 0.92

00:06:23.300 And it owes me money, dog.

00:06:24.720 I'll just slice that bad bitch up. 1.00

00:06:28.420 And then I get me that aguacate.

00:06:31.300 That Spanish avocado.

00:06:34.220 And I'll slice that bad cat up. 1.00

00:06:37.980 You know, I'll straight up get into that sucker.

00:06:42.020 Put that in a bowl, dice it up.

00:06:45.000 Throw a little avocado oil on it.

00:06:47.120 A little salt.

00:06:50.780 A little sea salt.

00:06:52.120 Or even just land salt.

00:06:54.200 I use the original shit, bruh.

00:06:57.040 That basic ass land salt, bruh. 0.98

00:06:59.240 The kind of shit you use to get at school.

00:07:02.920 And I throw that in that bowl and get that tasty.

00:07:06.380 That tasty little, that beef patty salad.

00:07:13.060 And man, I had a friend growing up, his mother was named Patty.

00:07:15.540 And that always blew my mind.

00:07:17.120 You know, to name your child after a damn cut of cooked meat. 1.00

00:07:22.800 Or shaped meat.

00:07:26.420 How you gonna name your child after a meat shape?

00:07:30.500 Oh, this patty.

00:07:32.740 Oh, hey patty. 0.66

00:07:36.280 Behave patty. 1.00

00:07:37.540 Or I'm gonna put you on the grill. 1.00

00:07:38.820 Oh, patty. 0.99

00:07:40.780 Oh, patty. 0.99

00:07:42.820 And then, for fun, you take a piece of cheese and just put it on Patty's head.

00:07:47.080 Oh, look what we did to Patty. 1.00

00:07:48.700 Oh, that's cute.

00:07:49.580 You know, doing, uh, little children can be very, you know, little, you know, there's

00:08:00.500 something unique about them.

00:08:03.260 Um, when my niece was born, you know, my sister had it.

00:08:09.360 My sister had, you know, fathered, or parent, gave birth to my niece.

00:08:14.500 She gave birth to that little beautiful little damn crotch nugget. 1.00

00:08:18.460 And, uh, and we'd never had a baby before in our family.

00:08:23.640 Nobody had ever had a baby.

00:08:26.360 Hell, no one had ever even walked in on anybody else masturbating or anything in our house.

00:08:31.760 And I remember we went to, uh, Chili's.

00:08:38.420 And Chili's, if you're not familiar with it, it's, they kind of act like it's Mexican, but

00:08:44.600 it's like just everybody from your high school started a restaurant.

00:08:49.120 And, um, and basically Chili's had these chips.

00:08:56.200 They had this, you get the order of chips and salsa, bro.

00:08:59.560 And they hit you with the bowl of chips, this basket.

00:09:02.940 It looked like half of a little, like a Mexican hat.

00:09:05.980 It almost looked like a little yarmulke for like a little Mexican midget or little person. 0.99

00:09:11.260 My bad.

00:09:11.640 And that thing would be full of chips or Jeeps.

00:09:19.000 And you get the little dish of salsa, bro.

00:09:22.440 And, uh, and if you're like me, you order your own salsa for your half of the table.

00:09:27.720 Because I don't like it.

00:09:28.800 You got four people there.

00:09:29.800 They bring one thing of, uh, Jeeps and one thing of salsa.

00:09:34.440 Dog.

00:09:35.940 Bring two zalsas, bro.

00:09:38.540 Bring two zalsas.

00:09:41.640 Okay, because I'm going to take, I'm going to put one in my area.

00:09:48.280 You know, I'm, I'm fine sharing one, but I'm not like there's two, if there's four people, you need two zalsas, man.

00:09:55.460 I just hate that shit.

00:09:56.900 They just make it, they, they, they want to create tension right off the bat.

00:10:00.140 But I remember my, my little niece, you know, we'd never had a baby in our family and she was real little.

00:10:10.740 I mean, uh, I mean real little, I mean a fucking fat squirrel could have given birth to this baby.

00:10:17.920 And we put her in the little chip dish.

00:10:21.540 We took the chips out and put her in there and we put the chips on top of her and we kind of just ate the chips and, you know, and she was, you know, kind of asleep or just too young to open her eyes.

00:10:34.280 But just kind of a beautiful family moment that we had, you know, years ago when my niece was first born at the Chili's.

00:10:47.940 Um, what's going on?

00:10:51.640 Not too much.

00:10:52.560 I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm happy to be here.

00:10:54.040 I hope you guys have had a nice weekend.

00:10:56.400 Uh, what else?

00:10:57.780 So I went over to David Spades and I watched the fights, the fist fights, baby UFC.

00:11:03.920 And we're lucky we got Dustin, the diamond Poirier is going to be, uh, on in a little while.

00:11:09.140 We're going to zoom with him and talk with him.

00:11:12.200 Um, you know, he's right there in the thick of all of that.

00:11:15.500 And, uh, just excited to get to chat with my buddy anyway and see how he's doing.

00:11:20.280 And, and, um, and man, those fights were exciting.

00:11:24.480 You know, those fights were really, really exciting.

00:11:26.500 I, it was interesting.

00:11:28.720 Now, if you go to David Spades home and I am home dropping, I'm home dropping.

00:11:33.320 I'll be honest with you.

00:11:35.760 And we went and, and they had, I mean, he has, you know, they got a lot of different.

00:11:45.500 You know, rich looking stuff in there.

00:11:48.060 He's got one of those houses.

00:11:49.200 I've got a couple different living rooms in it.

00:11:51.760 Like one of them looks like a lobby of like a, uh, like at the bank, you know, he got one area.

00:11:58.040 Like you could do a chase or a Wells Fargo, the little business area.

00:12:02.220 You know, and then they got a, you know, he's got a button you press and the damn curtains come down.

00:12:10.500 I mean, it's just, I mean, hell, it would be, it's the kind of place that I wouldn't even masturbate in this place.

00:12:19.940 It's nice.

00:12:20.440 You know, I do have some respect, uh, you know, it's just the kind of place you wouldn't even touch yourself in or hell.

00:12:29.000 I wouldn't even write a letter.

00:12:29.980 I wouldn't even write myself a love note in there.

00:12:32.860 You know, it just has that kind of comfort in there and, and, and beauty.

00:12:36.460 And there's a big picture of art on the wall.

00:12:38.260 And I don't even know what the hell it is, but it looks expensive.

00:12:43.960 Um, but it was nice.

00:12:46.020 Watch the fights.

00:12:47.160 Had a little bit of sea bass over there.

00:12:50.280 Cause rich people eat different fish, man.

00:12:53.300 I like fish that is, you know, that you can actually get a hold of.

00:12:57.000 Carp.

00:12:58.240 Uh, you know, um, what else?

00:13:03.700 Catfish, sunfish, eel.

00:13:06.100 If you do an eel right, bruh, then I'll do a damn eel, baby.

00:13:11.380 You feel me?

00:13:12.960 Little barbecued eel.

00:13:14.260 That's something I don't mind.

00:13:15.980 You throw some A1 on one of them fricking slick little pond phalanges, baby. 1.00

00:13:22.080 I'll suck that thing down, bruh.

00:13:24.780 God damn.

00:13:26.860 I will suck that thing face first, bruh.

00:13:29.800 You put that big, beautiful eel out there with a little BBQ on it.

00:13:34.780 Uh.

00:13:36.100 With a couple honey roasted peanuts, bruh, to chase it down.

00:13:39.740 Woo.

00:13:41.420 Yeah, man.

00:13:43.180 We doing it.

00:13:45.340 Uh, but that's what I did, man.

00:13:47.200 You know, I went over to somebody rich's house and watched the fights.

00:13:50.820 Um.

00:13:51.220 And actually, I went over to Gianni.

00:13:54.640 We got the twink Gianni.

00:13:55.860 He's back in town.

00:13:57.680 Uh.

00:13:58.040 Uh, so we went over, I went over with him and Nick and watched a little bit of the fights

00:14:01.580 too, producer Nick.

00:14:02.620 And, uh, but we'll talk a little bit more about the fights, uh, whenever we got Dustin

00:14:06.720 on in a little while and talk a little bit more about UFC.

00:14:08.960 Um, yeah, what else?

00:14:12.420 I don't know.

00:14:13.180 The world's getting back.

00:14:15.780 You know, we're all being kind of reborn a little.

00:14:20.320 You feel that a little bit and some people's afraid to come out of the womb.

00:14:24.820 Some people wants to stay in the womb. 0.98

00:14:26.640 Some people want to just go outside of the womb, uh, because we've all kind of been like

00:14:34.320 womb mates for a while and that's running out.

00:14:39.760 And there's a lot of disparity out there right now.

00:14:42.060 People want to, some people want to start living life again and go back to the old days.

00:14:49.600 And some people want to just, you know, kick it up a notch and be natural.

00:14:54.200 Uh, or, or some people want to just stay like, you know, quarantined and there's, here's

00:15:03.280 the thing in, in this country, both people, you can do both.

00:15:08.800 That's the thing about America.

00:15:10.000 That's it.

00:15:10.880 You know, it would almost be more helpful during a pandemic if you lived in a country that was 0.52

00:15:18.320 socialist or communist because what, what they say goes.

00:15:24.200 There's no, there's no joking around.

00:15:27.320 There's no ifs, ands, or buts, but we don't live in that place.

00:15:32.880 You know, we live in a place where everybody has a say and that's what's going on right

00:15:40.960 now.

00:15:42.620 And people say, well, these people are wrong or these people, well, neither one of them

00:15:47.620 are.

00:15:49.640 I mean, they may be wrong to me or they may be wrong to you, but you know, everybody has

00:15:58.000 a say and, and you know, like the government can't just tell people that they can't do

00:16:04.260 things.

00:16:04.840 Um, they just can't do that.

00:16:09.360 I mean, and everybody, I feel like has given this disease, they, you know, the virus, you

00:16:13.520 know, I feel like we've done a good job of planning ahead.

00:16:17.620 The only thing we could have done was take these measures.

00:16:19.940 You know, we had to take the measures that have been taken.

00:16:24.640 If it's raining, bro, you could, even if you like the rain, you might want to start off

00:16:28.680 by putting on a raincoat just to, you know, how long it's going to rain, what it's going

00:16:34.880 to feel like, will there be lightning, you know, am I going to be trying to smoke a cigarette?

00:16:41.580 What's going to, what's going to go on during this rain?

00:16:44.540 And then once you have a plan, then you can take the coat off if you want.

00:16:49.100 Some people want to take their coats off.

00:16:50.640 Some people want to stay in the coat and both of them are right.

00:16:53.320 That's what I think.

00:16:54.580 Both of them are right.

00:16:55.260 And it's not even something I think.

00:16:56.620 It's just the way it is.

00:16:59.400 Um, I personally, I'm more of a risky biscuit.

00:17:05.600 You know, something, if you see, if you smell my back, you're going to smell a bunch of risk

00:17:09.060 jelly because that's what God spread on me.

00:17:13.580 You know, he put that damn sweet risk paste right on my damn skin. 0.76

00:17:19.120 And that's who I am.

00:17:22.040 You know, and I'm ready.

00:17:23.520 I'm ready to take, you know, let's take some chances.

00:17:27.320 I'm ready to roll the dice.

00:17:32.060 Um, I don't know.

00:17:35.220 And I don't even, I just think that's, you know, because I grew up in a place we had

00:17:39.780 rabies going around.

00:17:41.080 We had dangerous dog come and bite you. 0.73

00:17:44.780 You know, we, we didn't have a virus, but we'd have a dog come through town, bite seven

00:17:48.300 or 18 people.

00:17:50.900 Like, damn, you get hit by that dog.

00:17:52.620 Yeah, I didn't get hit, but my grandfather did.

00:17:55.960 Oh yeah.

00:17:56.320 My cousin got bit by that dog.

00:17:59.120 Damn.

00:17:59.480 Yeah, he killed two chickens at our house and, and he got my aunt.

00:18:04.600 Like, damn.

00:18:07.580 So I grew up in an area where things were passing through that would F you up.

00:18:12.100 You know, we'd have like dangerous nails back when they had tetanus.

00:18:15.360 You had to get a tetanus shot.

00:18:16.540 Cause 30, 40 people step on the same sharp nail in town.

00:18:21.320 Oh.

00:18:21.820 Ah.

00:18:22.320 Hmm.

00:18:23.000 Hmm.

00:18:23.520 Huh.

00:18:24.160 Ah.

00:18:25.200 Ah.

00:18:26.440 Me.

00:18:27.640 Oh.

00:18:29.580 My, my, my, my, my.

00:18:31.880 You know, you'd have a 30, 40 different people step on the same nail.

00:18:34.940 So I grew up in a kind of place.

00:18:38.720 I'm, look, I tell mother nature, bring it on.

00:18:42.700 Throw that battle ax, mother nature. 1.00

00:18:45.760 Cause I'm ready to get out there.

00:18:49.960 Now it may be risky, but like I said, I'm a risky biscuit.

00:18:54.520 That's the baking soda I got inside of me is risk powder.

00:18:59.180 And some people don't.

00:19:01.840 Some people more safety.

00:19:03.060 Some people was raised in a, you know, they, they, they, they got a library inside of them

00:19:08.720 and everything they got all, you know, they want it to be like this and this and this.

00:19:12.660 And Hey, that's okay.

00:19:14.220 It might be different than me, but I live with those people.

00:19:16.320 So, you know, I respect what they want to do, but, but they also have to, like, I'm not

00:19:23.260 going to be ignorant about the way I live, but I'm going to live, you know, I feel like

00:19:29.080 I just want to live.

00:19:30.240 Um, but it's tough cause we all have to be careful.

00:19:34.620 We're not endangering each other, you know, it's a unique time, but people are ready.

00:19:40.460 People are getting back out there.

00:19:42.320 People are taking on new experiences and, uh, and taking on old experiences, man.

00:19:48.300 Um, we got a couple of calls that came in.

00:19:51.060 I'm going to get into some of it.

00:19:52.340 The hotline is always is nine, eight, five, six, six, four, nine, five, zero, three.

00:19:58.720 Hey, man, this is Max, um, from Austin, Texas.

00:20:02.780 What's up, Max, from Texas down there.

00:20:05.720 And, um, yeah, Elon Musk said he might be moving his plant down to Texas because he has

00:20:12.700 issues with the way that they're, uh, governing, um, the, the lockdown here in, in California.

00:20:19.660 Onward.

00:20:20.420 And, well, I've been a fan for about two years now, dude.

00:20:24.100 Oh, thank you, man.

00:20:25.520 Uh, thank you for the support, brother.

00:20:27.180 That's, that's nice of you, man.

00:20:29.580 But, um, I'm 15 years old and, uh, that's important because, man, I'm getting a job as a

00:20:36.240 busboy, actually, and, um, I know you and, uh, Billy Conforto were, uh, busboys at around

00:20:44.480 my age, so, um, I don't know, man.

00:20:47.460 I'm really anxious about it, dude.

00:20:49.640 I'm, uh, I'm doing it to help my mom during this COVID time, dude, but, uh, I don't know,

00:20:56.180 man, just send me back some advice.

00:20:57.760 Um, gang shit.

00:20:59.260 Love you, man.

00:21:00.080 Gang, bruh.

00:21:01.540 And I love you, too, brother.

00:21:02.660 And I'm glad, look, I'm glad, first and foremost, that you're taking on new opportunities.

00:21:06.240 Help out your mother.

00:21:08.340 You know, Mother's Day really is, it's a, it's a, that Mother's Day is just a reminder.

00:21:12.820 That's just lighting the fuse.

00:21:14.540 The rest of the year is that candle, baby, where we try to keep it burning for our mother.

00:21:20.620 And it's hard.

00:21:21.420 It's a hard relationship sometimes, but I love hearing this, man.

00:21:24.180 This makes me feel, this reminds me that I'm a son, and then I want to help out my mother

00:21:29.800 as well.

00:21:31.700 And look, I'll tell you, man, busboying.

00:21:34.600 First of all, you have to remember that when you start out as a busboy, if, if you start

00:21:42.520 out, like I started out bees to the dub, baby, balls to the wall, son.

00:21:48.480 You know what I'm saying?

00:21:49.660 Nuts.

00:21:50.000 I mean, just nuts to the frickin' drywall.

00:21:55.880 I mean, I started out just, I was, I was cruisin'.

00:22:00.080 We had bread over there, bruh, waters.

00:22:02.580 Who needs tea, bruh?

00:22:03.580 And we had two different types of tea.

00:22:05.040 That was the thing.

00:22:06.140 And one of the pitchers had a little orange slice on it.

00:22:09.180 A quarter orange slice on the, on the tip of the pitcher.

00:22:11.940 And the other one didn't.

00:22:13.000 So if people got that tropical passion tea, you had to get that orange slice pitcher, hit

00:22:19.160 them with that one. 0.97

00:22:20.160 And if they got that basic ass tea, you know, you had to hit them with that regular pitcher.

00:22:26.260 And so we had that and water.

00:22:27.800 Those were the three pitchers we had.

00:22:29.340 So I'm running regular teas.

00:22:31.080 I'm running passion teas.

00:22:32.340 And then we had these kind of, a very light banana nut muffin.

00:22:39.420 And these very light banana nut muffins, it was, you had to replace the tray and then sometimes

00:22:47.980 they had butter.

00:22:50.020 Sometimes, you know, Big Lawrence or somebody, Big Bernadette roll in there and they throw

00:22:59.560 six butters on a muffin.

00:23:01.180 Like, damn.

00:23:02.640 On a half a muffin, they cut it in half and stack that bitch up with that montequilla, that 1.00

00:23:08.840 butter.

00:23:10.360 So then we got to hit them with that butter.

00:23:12.140 Bam, bam, bam.

00:23:14.420 But it was constantly just moving and shaking.

00:23:16.860 But yeah, I had the apron.

00:23:18.100 I was cruising.

00:23:19.180 I had the rag stuffed in the corner.

00:23:22.240 You know, and I had one wet rag and one dry rag.

00:23:26.820 So I was ready for anything.

00:23:30.660 And I was smiling.

00:23:31.800 I was cruising.

00:23:32.620 I was hyped.

00:23:33.180 I was excited.

00:23:33.940 But what I'm telling you is this.

00:23:36.200 If you start out at a new position as a busboy, you want to start out with some enthusiasm.

00:23:40.520 You want to, but if you start out balls to the wall, they're always going to expect balls

00:23:46.560 to the wall.

00:23:47.020 And what happened to me was over years, you know, I ended up using steroids and creatine

00:23:55.720 to enhance my performance.

00:23:58.780 And, uh, cause that was my sport, man.

00:24:07.040 In high school, that was my sport, man.

00:24:08.900 Being a busboy and getting that minimum wage, you know, pocket in that M dub, baby. 0.87

00:24:14.500 And so I was, next thing you know, I'm using D-ball.

00:24:17.980 I'm using Windstrom on test 200, test 240.

00:24:21.900 Some real questionable shit that came out for a little while.

00:24:25.280 Um, but what I'm saying is if you start with, if you start at a level 10, they'll always

00:24:30.100 expect that level 10.

00:24:31.260 So if I could go back in time, I'd have started at a level eight, I'd have known I was capable

00:24:37.820 of 10 and I would have ramped it up around there from about maybe 830 to 945 during the

00:24:45.960 heat hours or peak times.

00:24:48.100 They call it peak business times.

00:24:53.100 That's when I would have ramped up my ability and then I would have ramped it down the rest

00:24:57.680 of the time because I burnt out.

00:25:01.260 You know, after, at two years, I'm having to do, you know, I'm on creatine.

00:25:07.520 I'm on, you know, I'm on uppers, bruh.

00:25:10.000 I'm, you know, I'm meeting up with people after work doing drug.

00:25:14.540 Like I, I just got burnt out because I, but I was a dog.

00:25:19.840 I was Allen Iverson of fucking Dirty Tables.

00:25:23.680 That's who I was.

00:25:25.640 And anybody in Tucson will tell you that, that knew about that in like early 2000s.

00:25:31.260 Um, so that's all I would say, man, go in there, be passionate and have, but have that

00:25:37.900 extra gear you can always go into.

00:25:39.600 Uh, and if I could go back in time, that's how I would do it.

00:25:44.500 I'd have that extra gear because I kind of ran out of it.

00:25:48.320 Um, man, I'm looking at this video.

00:25:51.420 They got robots in Singapore in the park.

00:25:55.960 And I don't know if you saw this thing.

00:25:58.880 It's like a little electric dog.

00:26:00.460 It's like a little, you know, this little, just a damn, uh, it looks like a damn future.

00:26:10.580 It looks like somebody took a piece of the future and just threw it in a park.

00:26:14.620 Uh, and it goes around and tells people they're too close together and kind of videos.

00:26:20.920 It looks like it video records also what is going on in the park.

00:26:24.860 Uh, it lets people know if they're in a group, uh, that, that they need to be at least one

00:26:30.420 meter apart.

00:26:32.240 I don't know if you saw this video or not.

00:26:33.960 And it's just, it's an electronic.

00:26:36.820 It's a robot.

00:26:39.900 And what I don't like about it, first of all, it doesn't have a head.

00:26:42.720 So it looks extremely, uh, it has that whole futuristic look.

00:26:49.800 You know, every now and then on Facebook, they'll come out with something real futuristic.

00:26:52.680 That's just, it kind of looks like it's just to scare you.

00:26:55.540 It's like, this is what it's going to be like.

00:27:00.120 But that's in Singapore, man.

00:27:03.020 Okay.

00:27:03.380 You let that bitch loose in Baltimore. 1.00

00:27:08.420 Somebody, somebody will, first of all, we'll have that thing.

00:27:11.860 We'll have that.

00:27:12.880 Somebody will have that thing fighting a pit bull in five minutes, bro.

00:27:17.680 You let that bitch loose in Baltimore. 1.00

00:27:21.840 First of all, somebody else will be mating that thing.

00:27:24.860 Dude, my buddy Satchfield, he'll mate that thing with a damn Australian shepherd. 1.00

00:27:30.060 You have a couple little, uh,

00:27:31.880 You know, you'll have a couple of RT, R2, D2s about six weeks later, however long it takes to make a dog baby. 0.69

00:27:41.000 But yeah, I don't think this is the wave of the future.

00:27:44.740 I think that this is something that's kind of spooky about science.

00:27:47.740 Because in some countries, people aren't, people are going to listen to this animal, to this robot animal.

00:27:55.140 But not here.

00:27:57.840 Dude, if that thing comes close to somebody, they're going to pull out a, uh, a weapon on it.

00:28:04.560 Dude, a couple crackheads will fucking melt that thing's leg down and sell it. 1.00

00:28:10.720 Sell the copper out of that MF-er. 1.00

00:28:15.800 So, I just think, um, you know, you got a unique deal here, but I don't think that this thing's something that anybody needs to be scared of.

00:28:22.460 Not here.

00:28:23.140 Not in the U.S., man.

00:28:24.180 Uh, but it's definitely pretty fascinating.

00:28:28.140 A Boston Dynamics robot named Spot was deployed in Singapore to help police citizens during their nationwide COVID lockdown.

00:28:39.540 Spot roams around public spaces and reminds people of social distancing rules

00:28:43.200 and is equipped with cameras and analytic tools to observe how many people are in given space.

00:28:49.220 Breaches of Singapore's strict lockdown rules can result in fines or jail.

00:28:52.640 So, yep, and that's fine.

00:28:54.840 But let me just tell you this.

00:28:56.100 You let that thing loose over there on McGee Street where I grew up, bro.

00:29:01.040 Somebody will steal that little MF-er's leg, bro. 1.00

00:29:05.260 And, uh, and put that thing and use that thing somehow in a damn Toyota Tercel.

00:29:16.260 Somebody, somebody, dude, somebody melt that little bastard down and make a hubcap. 1.00

00:29:22.640 For a frickin' 88 Camry.

00:29:24.760 In a heartbeat, bro.

00:29:26.720 And that's factual.

00:29:28.640 So, in Singapore, yeah.

00:29:30.340 In Baltimore, phew, this little MF-er'll get carjacked in a heartbeat. 1.00

00:29:37.940 Um, what else went on in the news, man?

00:29:41.700 Oh, yeah, Elon Musk, I was talking about earlier, talking about moving Tesla out of California

00:29:47.980 following extended shelter-in-place rules.

00:29:51.880 Local California officials refused to let Tesla reopen its Fremont factory.

00:29:57.640 Tesla has filed a lawsuit against Alameda County.

00:30:01.280 Elon Musk threatened to move Tesla's headquarters to Texas or Nevada,

00:30:05.060 where shelter-in-place rules are less restrictive.

00:30:09.360 Elon Musk tweeted,

00:30:11.180 The unelected and ignorant interim health officer of Alameda is acting contrary to the governor,

00:30:16.580 the president, and our constitutional freedoms, and just plain common sense.

00:30:20.880 He said, Frankly, this is the final straw.

00:30:25.200 Tesla is the last carmaker left in California.

00:30:27.860 I think you're going to run into stuff like this because,

00:30:35.620 you know, business owners, business operators, they want a business.

00:30:43.160 Business people want a business.

00:30:45.860 And we live in a free market where people can business.

00:30:50.460 And so, when a government comes in at a certain point and says,

00:30:52.980 oh, you can't business, you know, I think you're going to get,

00:30:57.780 this is what you're going to get.

00:31:00.120 You're going to get people who say,

00:31:01.200 that's fine, I'm going to go to a state

00:31:02.620 that is a little bit more along the lines with the way that I want to do business.

00:31:10.680 And I say more power to that.

00:31:13.280 You know, I'm all for a little bit more for state governments.

00:31:18.400 You know, I'd love to see more,

00:31:21.160 you know, this is this state,

00:31:22.320 and this is the way that they like to do things.

00:31:26.100 Because we're such a people that, you know,

00:31:29.120 people have so many ideas now

00:31:30.680 and everybody has a platform now to share their ideas

00:31:33.100 and how they think and what they like.

00:31:36.900 That I feel like

00:31:39.180 that there should be almost more options.

00:31:45.600 I wish that everybody were just,

00:31:47.820 we are America.

00:31:48.780 But that doesn't seem to be the way that it is anymore.

00:31:53.500 And so I think

00:31:54.600 if you have a bunch of different kind of smaller types of America within states,

00:31:59.660 then

00:32:01.200 people can say, okay, this state is more to my liking.

00:32:04.300 This is where I want to do my business.

00:32:05.860 This is more what I'm in line with.

00:32:07.260 And I think you're going to get that.

00:32:10.200 You know, especially California.

00:32:11.500 I mean, California, you know, it's very liberal

00:32:13.200 and, you know, they try to kind of cater to,

00:32:15.640 you know, or always help the lowest common denominator

00:32:18.040 or give everybody,

00:32:21.100 you know, they want to help everyone.

00:32:23.680 And I love it.

00:32:24.300 I love it in theory.

00:32:26.360 But sometimes in practicality,

00:32:27.980 it's not always,

00:32:30.820 you know,

00:32:31.580 I don't feel like there's a lot of,

00:32:34.140 you also need to help yourself.

00:32:37.460 Whereas some states,

00:32:38.580 I feel like there's a bit more in the constituents

00:32:40.800 or in their,

00:32:43.100 in their,

00:32:45.020 in the ball bag of each of that state that says,

00:32:49.120 or in the ovaries,

00:32:50.400 that says, hey,

00:32:53.460 you know,

00:32:54.920 we'll help you.

00:32:56.440 You also have to help yourself.

00:32:57.960 You also need to do things for yourself.

00:33:05.900 So, yeah,

00:33:06.500 I think it's neat that there's,

00:33:08.220 if that if,

00:33:08.920 and if businesses want to go with it,

00:33:10.180 and then they have the ability to do that.

00:33:14.740 But I'm not surprised,

00:33:16.320 you know,

00:33:16.660 I'm not surprised.

00:33:18.220 It's interesting too,

00:33:19.180 because in,

00:33:19.580 in California,

00:33:20.320 a lot of businesses are so,

00:33:22.920 you know,

00:33:23.340 people are very,

00:33:25.420 there's a strong sense of,

00:33:27.180 okay,

00:33:29.660 everyone needs to wear a mask,

00:33:33.420 are a stronger sense here than there are in other places that I've been.

00:33:36.900 And I'm living mostly in the Hollywood area.

00:33:39.720 But I see,

00:33:40.460 I hear a strong sense of,

00:33:41.540 okay,

00:33:41.660 we need to wear masks.

00:33:42.540 Do you have your mask on?

00:33:43.420 Why don't you have your mask on?

00:33:47.540 But now,

00:33:48.200 some businesses aren't going to be able to come back,

00:33:50.020 because they're not going to be able to make enough money.

00:33:53.160 Like a restaurant,

00:33:55.160 you know,

00:33:55.540 in a neighborhood where it costs them,

00:33:57.940 you know,

00:33:58.440 $20,000 a month for their rent.

00:34:01.160 Now,

00:34:01.580 if they have to keep tables six feet apart or whatever,

00:34:04.500 they're not going to be able to survive,

00:34:08.540 because they're not going to be able to have enough tables in their restaurant.

00:34:10.920 So it's just like,

00:34:15.660 you have places that,

00:34:17.280 it's almost like their own,

00:34:18.860 extremely,

00:34:22.780 or their own more liberal rules are now eating up their own businesses.

00:34:26.860 If that makes any sense.

00:34:30.280 And sometimes I don't know what I'm talking about.

00:34:31.960 And I always don't know what I'm talking about.

00:34:35.440 But,

00:34:35.900 but it's like,

00:34:37.380 okay,

00:34:37.640 well,

00:34:37.840 these are,

00:34:38.260 this is the way it needs to be.

00:34:39.400 We need to follow all these guidelines.

00:34:40.820 And now the guidelines have it,

00:34:42.740 so they can't even run their own businesses anymore.

00:34:48.920 Whereas you have other places,

00:34:50.140 you know,

00:34:50.280 I was in Utah last week,

00:34:51.440 and they're just like,

00:34:52.040 hey,

00:34:52.640 let's rock.

00:34:54.660 You know,

00:34:56.040 let's rock.

00:34:56.860 So,

00:35:00.020 that's America though.

00:35:01.920 People can,

00:35:02.540 you can do it different ways.

00:35:04.060 But businesses are also going to be able to decide,

00:35:05.940 okay,

00:35:06.140 I want to do my business in the place where there are a little bit more less rock,

00:35:09.920 or a little,

00:35:10.580 or there are a little bit more,

00:35:12.100 no,

00:35:12.440 we can't rock,

00:35:13.180 because these are the rules.

00:35:15.360 And both of those are okay.

00:35:21.040 I'm excited to talk about these fights,

00:35:22.580 man.

00:35:22.780 We're going to do it in just a few minutes.

00:35:24.020 I got to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by

00:35:26.480 Blue Chew.

00:35:28.560 And if you want to get in the ring with your wife, 0.90

00:35:31.640 or if you,

00:35:32.520 if you love men and you prefer a sexual man,

00:35:36.460 and you want to get in a ring with a sex man and touch that man, 0.98

00:35:40.340 or if you want to get a woman,

00:35:42.500 and y'all be naked and touch each other.

00:35:44.480 If you want to have an erection during any of that,

00:35:49.060 then,

00:35:49.880 then I have to let you know that this episode is sponsored by Blue Chew.

00:35:55.660 And we're grateful to them.

00:35:57.980 And look,

00:35:58.580 even if you don't have a problem with an erection,

00:36:00.620 grab you a couple of Blue Chews.

00:36:03.020 Surprise the lady, 1.00

00:36:03.960 throw one in.

00:36:05.180 Hell,

00:36:05.560 give one to your freaking cousin. 1.00

00:36:06.880 Have him come by,

00:36:09.420 not for a threesome,

00:36:10.360 but just to show off that work,

00:36:11.960 you know.

00:36:13.160 Tell your lady, 0.95

00:36:13.980 hey,

00:36:14.140 I love you so much.

00:36:15.060 I gave,

00:36:15.480 you know,

00:36:16.480 I gave,

00:36:17.120 you know,

00:36:18.100 I gave two of these to Steven.

00:36:20.060 And look what he's doing over there.

00:36:22.580 You know what I'm saying?

00:36:23.100 He can paint without using his hands.

00:36:24.900 Look at him.

00:36:26.840 But that's what I'm telling you.

00:36:27.820 You can increase your performance and get that extra confidence in bed.

00:36:32.600 BlueChew.com.

00:36:34.280 That's blue,

00:36:35.080 like the color blue.

00:36:37.300 Blue Chew brings you the first chewable with the same FDA approved active ingredients as Viagra and Cialis.

00:36:44.360 You can take them anytime,

00:36:45.600 day or night,

00:36:46.100 even on a full stomach.

00:36:47.600 And since they're chewable,

00:36:49.000 they work up to twice as fast as a pill.

00:36:51.820 So you can be ready whenever an opportunity arises.

00:36:56.040 If you could benefit from more confidence where it counts,

00:36:59.420 Blue Chew is the fast and easy way to enhance your performance.

00:37:03.420 Yup.

00:37:04.740 Blue Chew is prescribed online by licensed physicians.

00:37:07.960 So you don't have to go to the doctor's office or wait in line at the pharmacy.

00:37:11.200 Don't you hear that?

00:37:13.420 And it ships right to your door in a discreet package.

00:37:17.520 So they send you in that surprise package.

00:37:19.620 It could be something.

00:37:20.480 Oh,

00:37:20.560 people,

00:37:20.760 what is that?

00:37:21.080 You got a pinata?

00:37:21.940 What's in it?

00:37:22.840 They're going to think candy.

00:37:24.720 But hey,

00:37:25.900 wiener candy.

00:37:27.520 They're made in the USA.

00:37:29.160 Amen.

00:37:29.460 And since Blue Chew prepares and ships directly,

00:37:32.660 they're cheaper than a pharmacy.

00:37:34.560 And best of all,

00:37:35.220 there's no more awkwardness.

00:37:37.020 There's no more awkwardness,

00:37:38.360 man.

00:37:39.480 You don't have to meet your buddy in an alley

00:37:41.420 or meet a brother on the dance floor,

00:37:44.040 you know,

00:37:44.780 say,

00:37:45.180 hey,

00:37:45.900 you know,

00:38:39.700 You can start communicating with your therapist in under 24 hours.

00:38:44.980 You know,

00:38:45.400 I was having quite a day one time

00:38:47.140 and or quite a time one day.

00:38:49.160 And I was driving somewhere,

00:38:51.200 man,

00:38:51.320 and I couldn't get my brain to,

00:38:52.780 I was angry.

00:38:55.140 Somebody had called me something,

00:38:56.380 I think called me a little bitch or something.

00:38:58.660 Or called me a little pussy,

00:39:00.140 you know.

00:39:01.560 And damn,

00:39:02.180 it hurt me.

00:39:03.360 Damn,

00:39:03.740 it hurt me.

00:39:05.780 And I didn't know what to do

00:39:07.060 and I just wanted to run my damn car off the road

00:39:09.400 or just drive into a fucking Wendy's, 0.95

00:39:11.260 drive right into the back of a Wendy's.

00:39:12.820 But instead,

00:39:16.640 I hit up BetterHelp.

00:39:19.060 And within minutes,

00:39:20.220 I was on a FaceTime call with a therapist

00:39:22.600 and she was able to talk me into some comfort

00:39:26.000 and then I was able to go on about my day.

00:39:29.480 It's not a crisis line.

00:40:48.100 Oh, man.

00:40:49.780 Getting through this episode.

00:40:50.920 Oh, the world is starting back.

00:40:56.380 You know, it's funny.

00:40:57.320 Some people don't want the world

00:40:58.400 to open back up

00:40:59.300 because I feel like it gives them

00:41:00.680 a sense of control over others.

00:41:05.940 I just noticed this.

00:41:07.120 I have some friends who say,

00:41:08.440 no, no, no.

00:41:11.300 But I don't think,

00:41:12.240 I think they're just thinking

00:41:13.300 it gives them this,

00:41:14.820 oh, then they can control what happens.

00:41:16.500 Now, you know,

00:41:19.000 it gives them a,

00:41:21.220 like they get to control everybody.

00:41:25.380 Some of us,

00:41:26.120 it's like a sense,

00:41:27.220 you know,

00:41:27.820 we don't want to go,

00:41:28.460 we don't want to have to be responsible.

00:41:32.360 I think there's a,

00:41:33.260 there's part of me

00:41:33.940 that's like,

00:41:34.480 dang,

00:41:35.780 let's keep it like this.

00:41:37.760 You know,

00:41:40.360 I don't have to be responsible.

00:41:41.380 I don't have to,

00:41:46.080 you know,

00:41:47.580 there's no,

00:41:48.160 the system is down.

00:41:49.920 The,

00:41:50.240 the checks and balances

00:41:51.780 is all gone.

00:41:52.540 The rat race isn't there.

00:41:53.800 I don't have to,

00:41:56.420 you know,

00:41:56.780 I can just be lazy.

00:41:57.960 I can take it easy.

00:41:59.200 I don't,

00:41:59.420 you know,

00:42:05.040 it's been a,

00:42:05.440 it's been a break.

00:42:07.760 So,

00:42:09.660 yeah,

00:42:09.720 I guess there's a difference there

00:42:10.700 between it's been a break

00:42:11.820 and do I,

00:42:14.140 and am I being,

00:42:16.880 do I just want to keep

00:42:18.200 being able to be lazy,

00:42:19.420 you know?

00:42:21.660 But there's part of me

00:42:22.640 that definitely feels that.

00:42:24.340 Like,

00:42:24.540 oh,

00:42:24.680 this break is nice.

00:42:27.680 You know,

00:42:28.420 I'm afraid if things start back up,

00:42:30.360 then I'm going to have to be,

00:42:31.280 you know,

00:42:33.020 back into competing for a job

00:42:34.640 and competing for this

00:42:35.820 and trying for that.

00:42:37.760 sad and,

00:42:40.380 you know,

00:42:40.980 I think there's a little part of me

00:42:41.980 that's like,

00:42:42.440 oh,

00:42:44.720 well,

00:42:45.200 I guess it's just been nice

00:42:46.020 to not have to do that.

00:42:50.720 It's just so,

00:42:51.500 there's so many little things

00:42:52.480 going on throughout this whole

00:42:53.620 Corvid,

00:42:54.080 man.

00:42:56.080 Gang,

00:42:56.500 bro,

00:42:56.600 let's take another call

00:42:57.360 that came right here.

00:42:58.700 Corvid positive

00:42:59.440 from a gentleman onward.

00:43:00.860 Hey,

00:43:02.580 it's Sergio

00:43:03.660 from New York,

00:43:05.160 but I'm...

00:43:06.240 What's up,

00:43:07.100 Sergio?

00:43:08.980 And that's Spanish

00:43:10.360 for surge,

00:43:11.440 I guess,

00:43:11.780 or sergeant?

00:43:12.820 I'm living in Dallas now

00:43:14.340 and I was listening

00:43:16.720 to the podcast

00:43:17.300 when I was hearing

00:43:18.080 that you were trying

00:43:20.400 to get somebody

00:43:20.940 with something positive

00:43:21.820 to happen to them.

00:43:22.780 So I just want

00:43:23.200 to let you know,

00:43:23.840 man,

00:43:24.160 you know,

00:43:24.440 I changed my whole life

00:43:25.360 around.

00:43:25.720 I started smoking weed

00:43:27.620 when I was 14.

00:43:28.820 I was drinking

00:43:29.440 since I was 12,

00:43:30.460 man.

00:43:30.720 I changed my whole life

00:43:31.720 around.

00:43:32.160 I even got a little

00:43:33.060 hooked for the little

00:43:34.260 yay,

00:43:35.300 that A1,

00:43:37.160 that Rico,

00:43:38.240 but I got all that.

00:43:39.860 I got rid of all that,

00:43:40.800 man.

00:43:41.600 Okay,

00:43:42.880 He's off the bag,

00:43:45.140 And,

00:43:45.340 uh,

00:43:46.480 Sergio is off that bag.

00:43:48.120 Gang shit onward.

00:43:49.220 I lost over 100 pounds,

00:43:50.780 you know,

00:43:51.100 and just,

00:43:51.560 uh,

00:43:52.160 right before the whole

00:43:53.100 Corvid thing happened,

00:43:54.320 you know,

00:43:54.660 like you say,

00:43:56.240 uh,

00:43:57.080 I changed my whole life

00:43:58.040 around and it's crazy

00:43:58.980 that I left New York

00:44:00.000 in January right

00:44:00.920 before this went down.

00:44:02.100 So I just wanted

00:44:03.160 to share with you,

00:44:03.820 I changed my whole life

00:44:04.560 around trying to get

00:44:05.120 back together with my

00:44:05.960 wife.

00:44:06.820 We got separated.

00:45:05.280 Um,

00:45:35.320 the end of high school,

00:45:37.340 uh,

00:45:38.080 we had a dance.

00:45:39.700 I guess it was prom.

00:45:41.000 Um,

00:45:42.260 and,

00:45:43.500 um,

00:45:44.720 a buddy of mine,

00:45:45.880 the Spanish teacher,

00:45:46.880 grabbed his,

00:45:47.600 uh,

00:45:48.620 dick, 0.97

00:45:49.760 penis, 0.72

00:45:50.220 wiener.

00:45:51.920 So,

00:45:53.180 you know,

00:45:55.020 the guy had tried to

00:45:56.380 for years and shit, 0.84

00:45:57.860 and,

00:45:58.100 uh,

00:45:59.020 and finally,

00:46:00.120 he kind of,

00:46:00.640 my buddy just kind of

00:46:01.600 let him,

00:46:02.020 you know,

00:46:02.240 they were,

00:46:02.460 they were,

00:46:02.940 everybody was drunk,

00:46:04.000 it was at the dance,

00:46:05.040 and,

00:46:05.640 and he just kind of

00:46:06.480 let him fucking hold it

00:46:07.580 for a little.

00:46:08.440 Um,

00:46:09.300 not in like a homoerotic 0.66

00:46:11.000 way,

00:46:11.360 just like in a specialty

00:46:12.320 human way.

00:46:13.280 Hey,

00:46:13.520 buddy,

00:46:14.800 you know,

00:46:21.720 And,

00:46:22.400 so,

00:46:23.120 there's two ways to look at it,

00:46:24.400 Leah.

00:46:25.620 You know,

00:46:26.280 you know,

00:46:26.720 there's a way,

00:46:27.220 at least you're in the safety

00:46:28.020 of your own home,

00:46:28.760 you're finishing a paper,

00:46:30.580 you know,

00:46:30.840 you do,

00:46:31.180 you know,

00:46:31.360 it's 4.30,

00:46:32.120 you can go back to sleep.

00:46:34.340 Meanwhile,

00:46:34.860 my buddy is getting,

00:46:36.200 uh,

00:46:37.300 you know,

00:46:37.740 sexually accosted by a man. 0.51

00:46:39.520 You know,

00:46:41.120 a fake Spanish man.

00:46:43.660 So,

00:46:44.380 gang,

00:46:44.860 baby.

00:46:46.480 Um,

00:46:47.160 what else?

00:46:48.700 We got this call that came in

00:46:49.920 right here.

00:46:50.880 Hey,

00:46:51.460 what's up,

00:46:52.040 Theo?

00:46:52.760 It's Richie down here.

00:46:55.340 New Iberia,

00:46:56.780 Louisiana.

00:46:57.220 Oh,

00:46:58.760 Richie from New Iberia.

00:47:00.640 And that's actually extremely close

00:47:02.420 to where,

00:47:03.040 um,

00:47:03.940 Dustin Poirier lives.

00:47:05.040 And we're going to be on the,

00:47:06.100 uh,

00:47:06.300 on Zoom with him in just a few minutes.

00:47:08.840 Um,

00:47:09.640 onward.

00:47:10.760 And I was,

00:47:11.520 I was just thinking,

00:47:12.320 you know,

00:47:12.700 I want to hear what you thought about,

00:47:14.980 you know,

00:47:15.900 names,

00:47:16.440 people name their children.

00:47:18.260 And what name,

00:47:19.660 you know,

00:47:20.740 basically guarantees that your kid is going to turn out a certain way.

00:47:24.240 You know,

00:47:24.960 back in the day,

00:47:25.840 you know,

00:47:26.260 people would name their kid Bertha.

00:47:28.240 That was a popular name.

00:47:30.260 And then I think at some point people realize if you name your little girl Bertha,

00:47:35.180 she's going to be fat. 1.00

00:47:36.680 She's probably going to be fat. 1.00

00:47:37.920 I can't name a skinny Bertha. 1.00

00:47:40.060 And then I was,

00:47:41.320 you know,

00:47:41.600 then I was,

00:47:42.280 yeah,

00:47:42.640 Bertha,

00:47:43.200 you know,

00:47:43.840 would often lend itself to a largeness,

00:47:46.700 you know,

00:47:47.600 to a girth.

00:47:48.940 Onward.

00:47:49.740 Think about like Shane,

00:47:51.160 Shane's a name you see a lot of,

00:47:53.240 and I don't know how about,

00:47:54.240 where you was over in Covington,

00:47:56.840 but I know where,

00:47:58.800 you know,

00:47:59.040 all the research I've ever done.

00:48:00.820 Anytime you see a dude named Shane,

00:48:03.000 he's up to them dark arts.

00:48:04.840 He's probably doing some,

00:48:06.040 some mischievous things.

00:48:08.240 He's huffing Freon.

00:48:09.240 He's stealing somebody's propane tank and,

00:48:11.260 you know,

00:48:12.100 throwing it at him.

00:48:13.840 Yeah.

00:48:14.460 Shane is a sneakier name.

00:48:16.320 Oh,

00:48:16.560 Shane over there,

00:48:17.380 you know,

00:48:18.240 sipping coolant,

00:48:20.060 you know,

00:48:20.380 Shane over there huffing that gas,

00:48:22.120 baby,

00:48:22.960 getting that astro hit,

00:48:25.120 you know,

00:48:25.440 just,

00:48:25.760 just freaking astroing up his old lung holes.

00:48:29.840 Yeah.

00:48:31.000 Yeah.

00:48:31.460 Different names,

00:48:32.160 different for sure.

00:48:33.480 I agree with you there.

00:48:34.500 I'm trying to think of a couple right now.

00:48:37.920 Cliff.

00:48:38.320 You know,

00:48:40.560 you call somebody Cliff,

00:48:42.520 you name them Cliff.

00:48:43.580 That's dangerous.

00:48:45.780 Because if they get into their own name,

00:48:47.540 it's going to,

00:48:47.840 they're going to go to a mountain.

00:48:48.880 They're going to go to a quarry.

00:48:51.060 They might take that chance,

00:48:52.520 bro.

00:48:52.640 They might take that leap.

00:48:55.260 You know,

00:48:55.720 whereas if you name somebody Candy,

00:48:57.240 the,

00:48:57.580 you know,

00:48:58.480 if they get involved in their own name,

00:49:00.360 they may be going to get a cavity.

00:49:02.020 They may,

00:49:02.660 you know,

00:49:02.900 it's a more limited.

00:49:06.500 But different names for sure.

00:49:10.440 You know,

00:49:11.080 we had a Roy,

00:49:13.420 Sugar Roy.

00:49:14.720 We had this guy by us,

00:49:16.380 this guy,

00:49:16.840 and he could have been a gay man,

00:49:18.440 but he was still a child.

00:49:21.020 But,

00:49:21.240 but they would call him Sugar Roy.

00:49:25.240 And Roy sometime can have that,

00:49:26.680 that type of name,

00:49:27.580 you know,

00:49:28.260 a little bit more sugar in a tank. 0.73

00:49:30.820 Or Ricky,

00:49:31.380 they call him Tricky Ricky.

00:49:33.700 Maybe he does magic.

00:49:34.920 He does tricks.

00:49:36.900 Or Licky, 0.96

00:49:38.200 Licky Ricky.

00:49:38.880 They call him old Licky Ricky.

00:49:40.180 He'll lick anything.

00:49:41.240 Put something by him.

00:49:42.540 See if he'll wet it up with his tongue.

00:49:44.640 With that liquor.

00:49:48.360 What else?

00:49:48.880 We had a guy named Jeep.

00:49:50.220 This dude,

00:49:50.620 he was dangerous as fuck.

00:49:52.680 And he was named after Jeep,

00:49:54.200 man.

00:49:54.360 And I remember he couldn't get a driver's license

00:49:55.980 as we got older

00:49:56.620 because they kept,

00:49:57.520 thought he fell out the paperwork wrong.

00:50:00.240 Because he'd write Jeep in as his name.

00:50:02.900 But that was his damn name.

00:50:06.840 But yeah,

00:50:07.560 certain names.

00:50:09.620 Dexter,

00:50:10.240 that could be a nerdy name.

00:50:11.920 Darcy,

00:50:12.580 that's a library name.

00:50:15.040 Winston,

00:50:15.560 he gonna smoke.

00:50:17.240 You know?

00:50:17.900 Splinter,

00:50:18.980 he gonna probably do lumber.

00:50:20.620 You know?

00:50:22.900 Uh,

00:50:23.300 uh,

00:50:23.560 uh,

00:50:24.300 Mark.

00:50:27.200 He gonna probably,

00:50:28.160 uh,

00:50:28.440 chalk up the football field

00:50:29.740 before the games.

00:50:32.260 So everybody,

00:50:33.260 you know,

00:50:33.500 that,

00:50:33.700 yeah,

00:50:33.920 a name could be definitely

00:50:34.960 a different one.

00:50:37.740 You know,

00:50:38.260 a name could lead you

00:50:39.160 a certain type of way.

00:50:40.300 Some type of way.

00:50:41.240 All right,

00:50:42.040 let's take one more call here

00:50:43.600 before we get into,

00:50:44.980 uh,

00:52:59.400 from New York.

00:53:00.000 I want to get this

00:53:00.660 in a little bit more.

00:53:01.500 I know I've been

00:53:02.020 talking a little bit

00:53:02.680 about the disease

00:53:03.540 today

00:53:04.260 and how we're

00:53:06.640 bouncing back

00:53:07.300 from it.

00:53:08.260 And if you have

00:53:08.720 any calls

00:53:10.240 or suggestions

00:53:10.940 or constructive

00:53:11.620 criticisms

00:53:12.260 of things

00:53:12.840 that I've said,

00:53:13.820 feel free to hit

00:53:14.460 the hotline,

00:53:15.020 985-664-9503.

00:53:18.660 Onward.

00:53:21.740 Hey,

00:53:22.300 Theo,

00:53:22.640 this is Johnny

00:53:23.460 from Long Island.

00:53:25.600 What's up,

00:53:26.260 Johnny?

00:53:27.620 I was hoping

00:53:28.380 you'd give me

00:53:28.880 some advice.

00:53:29.620 It was getting

00:53:29.900 to a pretty dark

00:53:30.740 place.

00:53:31.500 My dad died

00:53:32.600 a few weeks

00:53:33.140 ago from

00:53:33.580 coronavirus.

00:53:35.740 Yeah,

00:53:36.320 I was getting

00:53:36.660 into a pretty

00:53:37.920 bad trip.

00:53:38.760 Same like that

00:53:39.300 guy who called

00:53:39.960 three days ago.

00:53:41.580 His dad died

00:53:42.280 of,

00:53:43.100 or his family

00:53:43.800 member died

00:53:44.280 of colon cancer.

00:53:46.820 So I thought

00:53:47.800 I'd call you.

00:53:48.920 I'm hoping

00:53:49.440 you have some

00:53:49.920 advice for me.

00:53:51.340 Man,

00:53:51.820 I'm sorry,

00:53:52.400 brother.

00:53:53.760 Man.

00:54:50.720 I'm so

00:54:50.960 sorry.

00:54:52.920 Yeah,

00:54:53.440 it's kind

00:54:55.160 of surreal.

00:54:56.800 And it

00:54:57.880 makes it

00:54:58.320 a little bit

00:54:59.380 harder that

00:54:59.980 everyone's

00:55:00.900 kind of

00:55:01.180 left

00:55:01.580 with this

00:55:02.260 going on

00:55:02.740 too.

00:55:04.380 I'm upset

00:55:05.060 about my

00:55:05.480 dad,

00:55:05.840 and then on

00:55:06.180 top of

00:55:06.520 that I

00:55:06.840 got

00:55:07.000 the whole

00:55:07.820 world

00:55:08.080 going

00:55:08.380 through

00:55:08.620 this

00:55:08.840 global

00:55:09.300 disaster.

00:55:11.180 But,

00:55:11.560 yeah,

00:55:12.180 Theo,

00:55:12.500 I reached

00:55:12.980 out to

00:55:13.300 you,

00:55:13.580 man,

00:55:13.700 because I've

00:55:14.700 been using

00:55:15.540 your podcast

00:55:16.380 for a while,

00:55:17.040 to structure

00:55:19.680 my thoughts,

00:55:20.420 my emotions,

00:55:21.240 and stuff.

00:55:22.600 I've looked

00:55:23.180 up to you

00:55:23.600 for a while,

00:55:24.160 man.

00:55:24.440 I always saw

00:55:25.080 myself in

00:55:25.860 you,

00:55:27.640 and every

00:55:28.160 time I'd

00:55:28.580 hear you

00:55:28.880 talk about

00:55:29.580 how you'd

00:55:30.400 structure your

00:55:30.960 feelings and

00:55:31.520 stuff like

00:55:31.920 that,

00:55:32.180 I always

00:55:33.060 found it

00:55:33.400 very easy

00:55:33.940 to relate.

00:55:34.400 A word,

00:55:36.380 man.

00:55:37.020 Well,

00:55:37.340 thanks for

00:55:37.660 saying that,

00:55:38.200 dude.

00:55:39.480 Yeah,

00:55:39.960 sometimes it's

00:55:40.480 easier than

00:55:40.880 others,

00:55:41.300 man.

00:55:41.780 Sometimes,

00:55:42.300 you know,

00:55:44.000 when life gets

00:55:44.560 hectic and

00:55:45.040 stuff,

00:55:45.300 it's hard to,

00:55:46.740 I don't know,

00:55:47.540 sometimes it's

00:55:47.960 hard to just

00:55:48.360 keep everything

00:55:49.020 kind of cruising,

00:55:50.160 you know?

00:55:50.460 Yeah,

00:55:52.820 man.

00:55:53.960 Yeah,

00:55:54.400 dude,

00:55:54.680 it's definitely

00:55:55.100 a tough

00:55:56.340 situation,

00:55:57.820 and I find

00:55:58.540 myself struggling

00:55:59.680 sometimes just

00:56:00.820 to keep my

00:56:02.080 head up.

00:56:03.860 I got a

00:56:05.260 younger brother,

00:56:06.920 so I'm doing

00:56:08.180 it mostly for

00:56:08.780 him.

00:56:09.640 Amen,

00:56:10.200 bro.

00:56:11.280 Yeah.

00:56:12.100 And was

00:56:12.740 your father

00:56:13.140 pretty ill?

00:56:15.260 Take me through

00:56:15.740 some of that,

00:56:16.380 man,

00:56:16.580 because what a

00:56:17.000 surprise that

00:56:17.620 he had

00:56:17.980 corvid.

00:56:21.420 Uh,

00:56:22.000 yeah,

00:56:22.420 yeah.

00:56:23.560 He,

00:56:24.040 um,

00:56:25.020 he got,

00:56:25.580 it was off,

00:56:26.140 like,

00:56:26.840 really quick,

00:56:27.760 really,

00:56:28.280 really quick.

00:56:28.940 He,

00:56:29.200 uh,

00:56:30.460 he got it in

00:56:30.960 the beginning

00:56:31.240 of April,

00:56:32.440 um,

00:56:33.640 and he had

00:56:35.120 it for,

00:56:35.800 like,

00:56:35.860 a week at

00:56:36.380 home,

00:56:36.780 and,

00:56:36.960 like,

00:56:37.040 we thought

00:56:37.320 he was

00:56:37.580 doing fine,

00:56:38.320 he was a

00:56:38.600 pretty healthy

00:56:39.680 guy.

00:56:40.740 He was 65,

00:56:41.980 and he,

00:56:42.540 uh,

00:56:42.720 he smoked for

00:56:43.480 most of his

00:56:44.000 life,

00:56:44.420 and he had

00:56:44.820 a few stents

00:56:45.540 in his heart,

00:56:46.240 too,

00:56:46.520 but,

00:56:46.880 um,

00:56:47.440 he exercised a

00:56:49.200 lot,

00:56:49.840 and he,

00:56:50.460 he ate very

00:56:50.980 healthy,

00:56:51.560 so we thought,

00:56:52.140 like,

00:56:52.240 oh,

00:56:52.380 no problem,

00:56:52.920 he'll get over it,

00:56:53.680 but,

00:56:53.920 uh,

00:56:54.120 his situation

00:56:55.000 just got worse

00:56:55.980 and worse,

00:56:56.460 and,

00:56:57.640 uh,

00:56:57.820 eventually,

00:56:58.840 he just kind of,

00:57:00.860 I,

00:57:01.080 I would just hear him

00:57:01.920 coughing throughout the day,

00:57:03.320 throughout the whole day,

00:57:04.200 just like that,

00:57:05.340 like a hacking cough,

00:57:06.580 oh,

00:57:07.080 and,

00:57:08.080 uh,

00:57:08.300 yeah,

00:57:09.040 and eventually,

00:57:09.800 we just,

00:57:10.480 uh,

00:57:10.760 figured,

00:57:11.220 like,

00:57:11.560 fuck,

00:57:12.000 we gotta,

00:57:12.500 uh,

00:57:13.180 like,

00:57:13.440 it's serious,

00:57:14.000 we gotta call

00:57:14.420 the hospital,

00:57:15.580 and the ambulance

00:57:16.340 came,

00:57:17.100 and,

00:57:17.380 uh,

00:57:17.640 he was in a

00:57:18.880 hospital bed

00:57:19.440 for about a week,

00:57:20.960 and then they put him

00:57:22.460 into,

00:57:22.980 uh,

00:57:23.120 they put him

00:57:23.520 into a coma,

00:57:24.700 Jesus,

00:57:25.220 and,

00:57:25.720 yeah,

00:57:27.200 they put him

00:57:27.880 on the,

00:57:28.220 uh,

00:57:28.420 the ventilator,

00:57:29.760 and then,

00:57:31.040 uh,

00:57:31.620 he lasted on the

00:57:32.740 ventilator for around,

00:57:34.300 like,

00:57:34.660 um,

00:57:35.860 like a week and a half,

00:57:37.060 I'd say,

00:57:38.060 and,

00:57:38.400 did you,

00:57:39.220 do you think if he,

00:57:40.040 do you think the ventilator

00:57:41.920 is what did it?

00:57:44.460 Uh,

00:57:44.920 you,

00:57:45.320 you mean,

00:57:45.780 like,

00:57:46.080 if the ventilator,

00:57:46.900 like,

00:57:47.200 killed him?

00:57:47.820 Yeah.

00:57:49.260 Uh,

00:57:49.660 I honestly have no idea,

00:57:51.120 I've,

00:57:51.320 I've heard that,

00:57:52.360 that,

00:57:52.600 like,

00:57:53.100 people don't recover

00:57:53.940 after the ventilator,

00:57:54.920 but,

00:57:56.120 I just,

00:57:57.100 we kind of just entrusted

00:57:58.380 the,

00:57:58.720 the hospital staff

00:57:59.780 and the doctors.

00:58:04.300 but,

00:58:04.980 um,

00:58:05.340 I've heard that,

00:58:06.360 I've heard the ventilators,

00:58:07.580 like,

00:58:08.440 something funky up with them.

00:59:01.600 it's just such a shock,

00:59:03.580 and I guess,

00:59:04.300 were you guys able,

00:59:05.280 able to,

00:59:06.000 able to have a funeral

00:59:06.900 or anything like that?

00:59:08.960 Yeah,

00:59:09.440 we did.

00:59:10.240 Um,

00:59:10.880 I w,

00:59:11.260 I was worried,

00:59:12.060 like,

00:59:12.260 there would be limitations on it,

00:59:13.780 but,

00:59:14.500 um,

00:59:14.640 we were able to get,

00:59:15.440 like,

00:59:15.580 around,

00:59:15.880 like,

00:59:15.980 50 people out,

00:59:17.320 um,

00:59:17.820 to,

00:59:18.060 like,

00:59:18.180 support him.

00:59:19.100 Amen.

00:59:19.640 But,

00:59:19.960 um,

00:59:21.020 the one thing I didn't like,

00:59:22.800 they didn't,

00:59:23.780 there was no casket,

00:59:25.220 they just,

00:59:25.720 they literally buried him in a box.

00:59:27.560 Oh.

00:59:28.320 In a,

00:59:29.080 and yeah,

00:59:30.000 that,

00:59:30.480 like,

00:59:30.840 I kinda,

00:59:31.500 I haven't really acknowledged that fact

00:59:33.360 up until,

00:59:33.740 like,

00:59:33.980 right now,

00:59:34.540 but,

00:59:35.380 yeah,

00:59:35.780 it's kinda,

00:59:36.180 it's kinda fucked up. 0.89

00:59:37.200 And you didn't have a say-so in that?

00:59:40.100 No,

00:59:40.640 I didn't,

00:59:41.000 I didn't,

00:59:41.760 I didn't have any say in any of the funeral.

00:59:43.980 Proceedings.

00:59:44.600 That was up to,

00:59:45.280 uh,

00:59:45.460 my older brother,

00:59:46.460 and,

00:59:46.800 uh,

00:59:46.980 my uncle.

00:59:48.000 Jesus.

00:59:48.580 And it was,

00:59:49.060 like,

00:59:49.120 just a pine box?

00:59:51.220 Yeah,

00:59:51.780 pretty much.

00:59:52.560 It looked like it was made out of,

00:59:53.880 like,

00:59:54.160 uh,

00:59:54.380 plywood.

00:59:55.180 Oh,

00:59:55.560 yeah,

00:59:56.860 I've been to some of those,

00:59:57.960 man.

00:59:58.220 It's a basic,

00:59:59.120 it's definitely a basic drop piece,

01:00:01.600 but,

01:00:02.080 it's,

01:00:02.400 uh,

01:00:03.680 yeah,

01:00:04.880 you want something a little flashier,

01:00:06.420 I feel like.

01:00:09.840 Yeah,

01:00:21.000 it's kind of,

01:00:21.560 it's not fucked up, 0.80

01:00:22.680 I don't think it's fucked up,

01:00:23.660 but he was kind of materialistic.

01:01:31.260 It's,

01:01:31.540 you know,

01:02:06.140 you know,

01:02:06.320 somebody's having a tough time,

01:02:07.400 you just don't know what to say,

01:02:08.520 you know?

01:02:11.260 And it doesn't matter.

01:02:12.080 There's nothing you can say.

01:02:13.980 You know,

01:02:14.420 sometimes it's not about saying anything.

01:02:16.060 It's just,

01:02:17.560 you know,

01:02:18.000 letting somebody know you care,

01:02:19.460 you let them know you care.

01:02:22.900 Um,

01:02:23.540 man.

01:02:26.420 But yeah,

01:02:26.880 you're going through all of this and then your dad goes to heaven at the same time.

01:02:30.680 It's a lot of,

01:02:31.980 and there's international travel restrictions.

01:02:34.480 Can you even get to heaven right now?

01:02:36.500 You know,

01:02:36.860 what are the rules?

01:02:39.380 You know,

01:02:39.900 and then you take the flashy dad and you,

01:02:42.080 you got your brother,

01:02:43.400 your cousin or whatever kind of skimps on the,

01:02:45.620 you know,

01:02:47.420 I can't believe they wouldn't,

01:02:48.620 the funeral parlor themselves should put the guy in a nice casket,

01:02:52.940 you know?

01:02:56.360 But there's something also beautiful about going,

01:02:58.820 rolling up to heaven in just that basic stroller,

01:03:01.520 bruh.

01:03:02.920 In that basic freaking body boat,

01:03:05.120 you know?

01:03:08.200 That plywood freaking,

01:03:09.740 in that plywood,

01:03:13.820 you know,

01:03:14.640 rectangle ambiance.

01:03:17.060 There's something kind of,

01:03:18.960 you know,

01:03:21.640 there's something kind of every man about it.

01:03:26.640 You know,

01:03:27.240 now he's like an immigrant in heaven, 0.96

01:03:28.720 man.

01:03:30.640 You know,

01:03:31.220 now your dad's like a new,

01:03:33.500 I mean,

01:03:34.060 if there's anybody that could survive heading into a new place,

01:03:36.740 obviously you know that it's him.

01:03:39.740 I mean,

01:03:40.080 he came here and did it.

01:03:44.200 You know,

01:03:44.700 another beauty of this country,

01:03:46.100 people can come here and live their dreams and achieve their dreams.

01:03:49.800 You know,

01:03:50.280 people can come here and raise their son to be,

01:03:52.460 you know,

01:03:52.740 what sounds like a very good young man.

01:03:58.660 You know,

01:03:59.120 there's a lot of beautiful things that,

01:04:00.780 that,

01:04:01.060 that can go on in this country and,

01:04:02.520 and that,

01:04:03.220 that,

01:04:03.340 that's the freedoms.

01:04:04.820 That's the freedoms people are allowed to do these things.

01:04:09.740 you know,

01:04:11.000 uh,

01:04:11.640 so I wonder what his dad would have wanted.

01:04:20.960 I wonder what his dad would have wanted.

01:04:22.600 I'm going to ask him.

01:04:33.000 I'm going to ask him one more time.

01:04:34.140 How was dad felt?

01:07:15.760 we're going to give,

01:07:16.540 uh,

01:07:16.760 get him on a zoom call in just a moment.

01:07:20.140 Should I put on some,

01:07:21.080 uh,

01:07:21.760 nah,

01:07:22.960 cologne.

01:07:24.440 I thought you were going to say cologne.

01:07:25.940 I mean,

01:07:26.460 that's cool.

01:07:28.140 Curve in the back.

01:07:31.760 Dustin,

01:07:32.240 the diamond Poirier,

01:07:33.340 man.

01:07:33.560 Good to see you,

01:07:34.180 bro.

01:07:35.100 Good to see you too,

01:07:35.860 man.

01:07:35.980 I like that chain.

01:07:36.820 Oh,

01:07:37.120 thank you very much,

01:07:38.280 bro.

01:07:38.440 That's that old carnival chain,

01:07:39.800 baby.

01:07:40.840 Yeah,

01:07:41.160 buddy.

01:07:41.620 Pick,

01:07:42.000 pick the animal on the wall.

01:07:43.100 Yeah.

01:07:43.540 Yeah.

01:07:43.940 Yeah.

01:07:44.360 I pick that chain,

01:07:45.600 baby.

01:07:46.980 How are you feeling today?

01:07:48.180 Good.

01:07:49.200 Good.

01:07:49.540 Yeah,

01:07:49.720 man.

01:07:49.920 I just,

01:07:50.340 uh,

01:07:50.820 got home about an hour or so ago and ate,

01:07:53.260 got a good wrestling practice in this morning,

01:07:54.900 man.

01:07:55.040 I'm grinding.

01:07:56.040 Nice,

01:07:56.460 man.

01:07:56.820 Uh,

01:07:57.060 I saw you,

01:07:58.000 uh,

01:07:58.140 the UFC putting your tweets up and stuff the other night during the fight.

01:08:01.240 Uh,

01:08:01.700 how did it feel to be watching fights again?

01:08:04.160 Man,

01:08:04.400 it felt good.

01:08:04.960 It,

01:08:05.100 it freaking motivated me,

01:08:06.500 dude.

01:08:06.780 It motivated me so much.

01:08:08.120 I,

01:08:08.480 uh,

01:08:09.360 woke up the next day with a different pep in my step.

01:08:11.480 You know,

01:08:11.680 I'm,

01:08:12.100 I want to fight and I want to,

01:08:13.900 I want to show the world what I can do,

01:08:15.160 man.

01:08:16.120 When you were watching the fights,

01:08:17.480 was there any part during the fights where you're like,

01:08:19.900 uh,

01:08:20.220 where without the crowd being there,

01:08:21.740 you're like,

01:08:22.160 wow,

01:08:22.420 that must've been totally different.

01:08:23.940 Or what are some things that kind of stood out to you that were either

01:08:26.700 surprising or even humorous,

01:08:29.180 even?

01:08:30.620 Uh,

01:08:31.340 I was surprised at how,

01:08:34.020 how patient and,

01:08:34.980 and,

01:08:35.280 uh,

01:08:35.460 calculated Gaethje was when he had Tony hurt a few times.

01:08:37.920 You know,

01:08:38.360 I think the Gaethje of old would have just ran in, 1.00

01:08:40.400 uh,

01:08:41.720 through Kosh to the wind and tried to finish him and maybe got hurt himself.

01:08:44.640 But he was very composed.

01:08:46.640 Um,

01:08:46.840 I'm not sure if that had anything to do with the crowd,

01:08:48.700 not being there.

01:08:49.280 Maybe he's a guy who feeds off the crowd,

01:08:50.960 you know?

01:08:52.960 Um,

01:08:53.500 yeah.

01:08:53.680 Cause if the crowd's going nuts and you might just follow their lead.

01:08:56.640 Yeah.

01:08:57.120 Just angry bird in there.

01:09:00.420 But,

01:09:00.880 uh,

01:09:01.580 you know,

01:09:02.220 he,

01:09:02.380 he,

01:09:02.580 he had a great performance,

01:09:03.680 dude showed a lot of growth since his last few fights and,

01:09:06.560 uh,

01:09:07.020 you know,

01:09:07.280 hats off to him.

01:09:07.880 He's the man.

01:09:08.440 Yeah.

01:09:08.800 You called that fight.

01:09:09.720 I saw,

01:09:10.320 um,

01:09:10.940 what made you going into that when you're like,

01:09:12.780 Oh,

01:09:12.960 I feel like he's got this.

01:09:15.120 I just thought that Tony makes a lot of mistakes and,

01:09:18.980 um,

01:09:19.800 I didn't think the fight was going to go to the ground.

01:09:22.140 I thought it was going to be a standup fight,

01:09:23.580 which it was.

01:09:24.560 Uh,

01:09:26.140 I just,

01:09:26.580 you know,

01:09:26.940 Tony's been hurt in a lot of fights.

01:09:28.300 He,

01:09:28.460 he said,

01:09:28.800 Tony actually surprising,

01:09:29.880 man.

01:09:30.220 He's way more durable than I thought he was.

01:09:32.100 Wow.

01:09:32.640 You know,

01:09:32.860 cause he's been dropped by Pettis,

01:09:35.020 um,

01:09:35.480 Lando Venata,

01:09:36.980 a few guys he's been hurt by.

01:09:38.640 He gets hurt in almost every fight.

01:09:40.420 Yeah.

01:09:40.540 Uh,

01:09:40.720 but incredible durability,

01:09:43.140 man.

01:09:43.720 What a warrior.

01:09:44.980 What was,

01:09:47.200 uh,

01:09:47.460 was there any moment in the fight?

01:09:49.040 Was there any moment in a fight where like,

01:09:51.600 does a fight ever get going so good where you wish you were in it or,

01:09:55.000 or the fight going so good where you're like,

01:09:56.940 Oh man,

01:09:57.280 I'm glad I'm not in that.

01:09:58.600 no,

01:10:00.080 I like that type of stuff.

01:10:01.120 Of course,

01:10:01.440 I don't want to get my brain beat up,

01:10:03.920 but when fights like the Gaethje Tony fighter is happening,

01:10:06.820 that was kind of more one way traffic,

01:10:08.660 but it was a great fight.

01:10:09.720 Yeah.

01:10:10.180 Um,

01:10:10.860 during those types of fights,

01:10:12.020 I just,

01:10:13.020 you know,

01:10:13.260 I always go to sleep after watching those fights and just pray that I get a

01:10:17.120 chance to,

01:10:17.660 to be in one of those types of fights and show the world,

01:10:19.900 you know,

01:10:20.540 my grit and,

01:10:21.980 um,

01:10:23.160 my fortitude in there.

01:10:24.140 They know when I watch fights like that,

01:10:25.600 I,

01:10:25.860 I just want to be part of that violence,

01:10:27.720 man.

01:10:28.600 Wow.

01:10:29.380 That is the total opposite of how I feel.

01:10:33.840 I will tell you this though,

01:10:35.160 man,

01:10:35.280 I was very surprised,

01:10:36.440 uh,

01:10:37.140 with the Charles Russell fight with your buddy.

01:10:39.200 Yeah.

01:10:39.620 Because you know,

01:10:40.620 Charles,

01:10:41.060 I trained with Charles and he has good jujitsu and he completely got shut

01:10:44.460 down,

01:10:44.820 you know,

01:10:45.160 like,

01:10:45.620 uh,

01:10:46.160 Oh,

01:10:46.380 with the,

01:10:46.700 yeah.

01:10:46.800 Cause you guys work with American top team,

01:10:48.360 right?

01:10:49.180 Yeah.

01:10:49.520 Yeah.

01:10:49.700 And you know,

01:10:50.220 I've been training with Charles probably since 2012.

01:10:52.260 I've been rolling with him and training alongside him.

01:10:54.260 And he does have very,

01:10:55.420 he does have very high level jujitsu.

01:10:56.740 Do you think he was just shocked?

01:10:59.360 Do you think that he,

01:11:00.120 I mean,

01:11:00.360 I think everybody was kind of shocked that Bryce was able to pull off that

01:11:03.000 type of,

01:11:03.600 uh,

01:11:04.180 you know,

01:11:05.060 just,

01:11:05.400 I mean,

01:11:05.520 he turned in almost just like a cricket,

01:11:07.560 you know,

01:11:07.880 like,

01:11:08.120 I mean,

01:11:08.340 he was just,

01:11:09.100 you know,

01:11:09.460 he was just right there.

01:11:11.500 Oh dude,

01:11:12.020 he was sunken in.

01:11:13.100 Yeah.

01:11:13.540 I think,

01:11:14.200 uh,

01:11:14.980 what really surprised Rosa,

01:11:17.300 I think is,

01:11:17.840 is,

01:11:18.200 uh,

01:11:18.500 Bryce's top pressure,

01:11:19.500 just his control on top and,

01:11:21.080 and,

01:11:21.180 uh,

01:11:21.340 being able to continue to get Charles down like that.

01:11:24.380 Um,

01:11:25.640 that was that.

01:11:26.180 Now I was surprised,

01:11:27.080 man.

01:11:27.220 I was really surprised in that fire.

01:11:28.500 Yeah.

01:11:29.100 Yeah.

01:11:29.460 It was an exciting night of fights.

01:11:30.760 Um,

01:11:31.220 towards the end of the night,

01:11:32.380 did you,

01:11:32.880 I mean,

01:11:33.120 you like your division lightweight.

01:11:34.820 It's like a,

01:11:35.200 it's a,

01:11:36.160 I mean,

01:11:36.460 there's so many stars in you guys's division.

01:11:38.860 Um,

01:11:39.800 after the,

01:11:42.060 did you have any difference of who you wanted to fight?

01:11:44.380 Like,

01:11:44.660 or who you would like to see for your next fight before the,

01:11:47.900 uh,

01:11:48.340 Gaethje Ferguson bout.

01:11:49.620 And then after,

01:11:50.580 did that change?

01:11:52.600 Um,

01:11:53.080 you know,

01:11:53.440 I,

01:11:53.620 I always wanted to get in there with Tony,

01:11:55.500 but,

01:11:55.800 but he's injured.

01:11:56.500 I believe he broke his orbital in that fight.

01:11:58.540 So he's going to be out a little while.

01:11:59.740 Gaethje's obviously going to sit and wait for Kabir, 0.98

01:12:02.380 keep to be out of Ramadan and able to fight again,

01:12:05.060 which I heard them talking about,

01:12:06.700 uh,

01:12:07.980 July or August.

01:12:08.880 Maybe I've seen a couple of tweets about that timeframe.

01:12:12.260 So I kind of knew,

01:12:13.300 uh,

01:12:14.200 I thought possibly the loser of that fight,

01:12:16.060 I could fight again.

01:12:17.320 You know,

01:12:17.820 if,

01:12:17.960 if Gaethje would have lost the rematch,

01:12:20.300 would have made sense.

01:12:21.220 And,

01:12:21.660 uh,

01:12:22.080 also if Tony would have just lost and not been injured,

01:12:24.340 the rematch or not the rematch,

01:12:25.660 but that fight would have made sense.

01:12:26.980 So I really have no clue what the UFC,

01:12:29.240 what direction they're going to go,

01:12:30.260 man,

01:12:30.640 but I want to fight.

01:12:31.800 Yeah.

01:12:32.380 Do you think it's kind of unfair?

01:12:34.000 It seems like everybody's willing to fight except for Connor kind of,

01:12:38.120 uh,

01:12:38.420 and this look,

01:12:38.980 I'm just a lay person.

01:12:39.880 I'm a,

01:12:40.200 just a fan and not even a great,

01:12:41.740 and I'm,

01:12:42.500 and I'm also afraid to fight people,

01:12:44.320 but,

01:12:45.140 uh,

01:12:45.440 but it seems like from just a fan's point of view that Connor gets kind of

01:12:49.740 put in this different,

01:12:50.720 not class,

01:12:52.000 but he gets a different treatment kind of a little bit.

01:12:54.480 Does it feel like that as a fighter or no?

01:12:57.300 Yeah.

01:12:57.720 He gets to,

01:12:58.480 he gets to pick when and who and,

01:13:01.000 uh,

01:13:01.220 and where he fights.

01:13:02.700 And he's done a great job of,

01:13:04.080 of maximizing his earning potential.

01:13:06.860 And it is a business.

01:13:08.180 Right.

01:13:08.840 But,

01:13:09.260 um,

01:13:09.920 if he's out there complaining about the rankings in any other sport,

01:13:12.560 what you do is you compete against the next person in the rankings to

01:13:15.020 climb.

01:13:15.440 Yeah.

01:13:15.900 So let's fucking go.

01:13:17.000 Yeah.

01:13:17.960 Are you feeling like,

01:13:19.200 um,

01:13:19.840 that it's going to be hard to cut weight?

01:13:21.200 Like,

01:13:21.400 are you noticing that as you get along your career that you're like,

01:13:23.640 Oh man,

01:13:24.140 that,

01:13:24.400 that,

01:13:24.640 that to get down to one 55 is going to be tough.

01:13:27.240 Yeah,

01:13:27.600 it's very tough.

01:13:28.440 Um,

01:13:28.760 the last few weight cuts were pretty hard.

01:13:30.780 The fight with Khabib,

01:13:32.140 the weight cut was a little easier on me because I put so much into it and

01:13:36.400 focus so much on it.

01:13:37.800 Um,

01:13:38.700 cause I thought it was going to be a grueling fight and I knew I was

01:13:40.720 traveling across the world.

01:13:42.180 So I just wanted to make sure I had that part of the fight camp down.

01:13:45.360 So we went the extra mile and I brought in a nutritionist for the last few

01:13:49.000 weeks and we made it,

01:13:50.720 he made every meal for me for the last few weeks of camp.

01:13:53.120 And that really helped me.

01:13:54.500 Um,

01:13:54.820 but it's not easy,

01:13:55.640 man.

01:13:55.840 Getting down to one 55 is very hard for me.

01:13:58.160 And so,

01:13:58.920 and that's the only like,

01:14:00.380 so for you guys' weight class,

01:14:01.600 that's where you have to fight at,

01:14:02.620 right?

01:14:02.800 One 55,

01:14:04.040 155.

01:14:04.720 Yeah.

01:14:04.920 If I jumped up,

01:14:06.180 I'd have to fight at 170 pounds.

01:14:07.880 And those guys are even bigger.

01:14:09.160 You know,

01:14:09.320 those guys are walking around 200 pounds.

01:14:12.440 So your next fight,

01:14:13.720 will you have any control over that?

01:14:15.160 Do you have a say so in it?

01:14:16.180 Is the hooker fight still on? 1.00

01:14:17.360 Do you know?

01:14:18.420 You know,

01:14:18.700 they wanted us to fight May 16th.

01:14:20.180 Then they talked a little bit about switching our fight to here in Florida when all the stuff

01:14:23.820 got scrambled because we were originally supposed to fight out in California and San Diego.

01:14:28.160 Um,

01:14:28.600 then they were going to let us fight at a higher weight class.

01:14:30.460 They were going to let us fight at 170 because of lack of preparation and,

01:14:33.240 and training.

01:14:35.000 It just didn't work out.

01:14:36.340 That fight didn't work out.

01:14:37.320 It was rushed.

01:14:38.060 I didn't want to,

01:14:38.700 you know,

01:14:38.940 fight outside of the weight class.

01:14:40.140 It was a bunch of weird things.

01:14:41.140 And,

01:14:41.580 uh,

01:14:42.180 if they want to book it,

01:14:43.400 I'll fight him.

01:14:44.000 You know,

01:14:44.260 I just want to fight.

01:14:45.360 Right.

01:14:45.460 Whoever I need to fight to show these guys,

01:14:47.340 that I'm,

01:14:48.060 I'm still the best,

01:14:49.240 you know,

01:14:50.320 the best,

01:14:50.900 the top in line to,

01:14:51.780 to get another title shot.

01:14:52.820 I want to fight.

01:14:53.620 You know,

01:14:53.780 I just need to win.

01:14:54.580 You're ready.

01:14:55.680 I'm ready.

01:14:56.360 Yeah.

01:14:56.720 So how,

01:14:57.380 how many weeks notice do you think you need to be ready for a fight or hours?

01:15:00.820 Dude,

01:15:02.640 I'll tell you what,

01:15:03.260 there's like one roll of toilet paper at the Publix and there's,

01:15:06.540 you know,

01:15:06.760 somebody in,

01:15:07.860 we're about the same distance and we start sprinting.

01:15:09.740 I mean,

01:15:10.000 I'm going to fight.

01:15:10.760 You're ready.

01:15:11.280 Yeah.

01:15:13.040 But,

01:15:13.440 uh,

01:15:13.720 I do four weeks.

01:15:14.480 Give me four weeks.

01:15:15.060 I'll be ready.

01:15:15.600 Yeah.

01:15:16.160 And that's quick for me,

01:15:17.160 you know?

01:15:17.540 Yeah.

01:15:18.400 Um,

01:15:18.960 so,

01:15:19.340 so as right now then the,

01:15:20.340 so the hooker fight isn't definite.

01:15:21.600 It's not on right now,

01:15:22.740 right now you're anything could happen.

01:15:25.360 Anything could happen.

01:15:26.240 And,

01:15:26.600 uh,

01:15:26.860 but I came to South Florida,

01:15:28.180 you know,

01:15:29.420 a week ago just to start preparing.

01:15:31.020 Cause I know I want to fight and I know they're going to start pumping out these

01:15:33.320 cards now that they had their first event back.

01:15:35.380 I think they're going to keep them rolling and I'm going to be ready when the

01:15:37.700 opportunity comes.

01:15:38.680 How soon do you think it could be until you have a,

01:15:41.200 until you have an idea of your next bout?

01:15:43.640 I actually Saturday night after the fights,

01:15:46.100 I started blowing up Dana.

01:15:47.260 Yeah.

01:15:47.540 Dana White,

01:15:48.480 John Shelby,

01:15:49.560 uh,

01:15:50.580 you know,

01:15:50.800 just kept texting them.

01:15:51.760 They told me I'm fighting next month.

01:15:54.260 So let's go.

01:15:55.180 Wow.

01:15:56.280 Yeah.

01:15:56.640 They didn't tell me who.

01:15:57.480 That's exciting though,

01:15:58.400 man.

01:15:59.660 That's dope,

01:16:00.300 man.

01:16:00.540 What have you,

01:16:00.900 but it might've just been like,

01:16:01.680 get this crazy guy.

01:16:02.520 Stop loving my phone.

01:16:03.900 Yeah.

01:16:04.060 You'll,

01:16:04.360 you'll fight tomorrow.

01:16:05.060 Yeah.

01:16:05.440 There's not even a fight card tomorrow.

01:16:08.060 What have you been doing during the quarantine?

01:16:10.100 I know you've been staying busy training.

01:16:11.420 Cause I'll check on you.

01:16:12.260 I'll see your videos on IG and stuff.

01:16:14.000 What else,

01:16:14.820 what else have you been up to?

01:16:16.720 Dude,

01:16:17.180 uh,

01:16:17.640 besides training.

01:16:18.880 Well,

01:16:19.200 I've only been here a week,

01:16:19.980 so I've been home with my family for the most part.

01:16:22.700 Since I got here,

01:16:23.480 I've just been training and playing PlayStation,

01:16:25.120 but my wife and daughter come and meet me this weekend.

01:16:26.980 So I'm pumped,

01:16:27.560 man.

01:16:27.740 Two weeks is my limit.

01:16:28.540 I can't do two weeks without him.

01:16:30.280 Oh yeah.

01:16:31.760 And any new little Poirier kids on the books or what,

01:16:34.560 man?

01:16:34.780 Y'all got another little one in the oven?

01:16:37.080 Nah,

01:16:37.420 not yet,

01:16:38.160 but,

01:16:38.480 uh,

01:16:39.340 it's coming.

01:16:40.080 Yeah.

01:16:40.340 I mean,

01:16:40.540 you know,

01:16:40.720 I want to shoot for a boy.

01:16:42.300 Can't really pick it,

01:16:43.160 but we'll see what happens.

01:16:44.320 Yeah.

01:16:44.500 I know you love being a dad,

01:16:45.740 man.

01:16:45.920 Sweet Pea looks pretty damn tough though. 1.00

01:16:48.020 Yeah.

01:16:48.180 She is pretty tough.

01:16:48.960 She likes to wrestle, 0.99

01:16:49.660 man.

01:16:49.800 I bought her a trampoline.

01:16:50.620 You know,

01:16:53.840 the trampoline with the cage around it.

01:16:55.360 Yeah,

01:16:55.600 of course you can look,

01:16:56.440 man.

01:16:57.040 Of course you in your family,

01:16:58.200 you put a cage around anything,

01:16:59.420 man.

01:16:59.940 You guys are ready to go.

01:17:03.480 Um,

01:17:04.000 so,

01:17:04.420 so,

01:17:04.680 but overall,

01:17:05.360 did you feel like just watching those fights the other night,

01:17:07.260 it just really got you amped up and ready to rock,

01:17:09.080 huh?

01:17:09.440 Yeah.

01:17:09.700 I,

01:17:10.080 uh,

01:17:10.440 I,

01:17:10.800 I went to sleep Saturday night and woke up Sunday more focused.

01:17:14.920 I felt like something clicked,

01:17:15.840 you know,

01:17:15.980 I got my,

01:17:16.420 my calendar out,

01:17:17.660 started writing stuff down,

01:17:18.640 started writing a timeframe down.

01:17:20.620 I went for a run,

01:17:21.900 woke up,

01:17:22.360 uh,

01:17:22.740 early today,

01:17:23.980 got my whole day planned,

01:17:25.100 cooked my food for the day.

01:17:26.080 I started a diet,

01:17:26.860 you know,

01:17:27.000 I'm ready.

01:17:27.380 Let's go.

01:17:27.840 Let's go.

01:17:28.820 Um,

01:17:29.580 were you shocked that UFC was like the first sport back?

01:17:33.240 I know they wanted to man. 0.88

01:17:34.460 I know Dana's a trailblazer and he,

01:17:35.880 he likes to set records and,

01:17:37.680 and,

01:17:38.120 and be the first to do things.

01:17:39.400 And I really thought he was going to do it.

01:17:41.660 Um,

01:17:42.220 I thought it was going to be the other card that got canceled in,

01:17:44.380 in April,

01:17:44.900 I believe.

01:17:45.840 I thought they were,

01:17:46.520 I thought they were going to go through with that.

01:17:47.760 I just know Dana have already pushes and,

01:17:49.440 and rallies to,

01:17:50.540 get things going.

01:17:51.320 And,

01:17:51.760 uh,

01:17:52.580 but he is his first sport back,

01:17:53.980 man.

01:17:54.640 Yeah.

01:17:55.940 Word,

01:17:56.380 man.

01:17:56.720 Well,

01:17:57.420 uh,

01:17:58.040 and a paper,

01:17:58.640 you know,

01:17:59.040 in a time where everybody's home and everybody's still cheering from the NFL draft,

01:18:03.860 you know,

01:18:04.060 if they're getting that kind of ratings,

01:18:05.100 I'm sure the pay-per-view did well.

01:18:06.540 I know.

01:18:07.060 Huh?

01:18:07.820 Do you,

01:18:08.640 um,

01:18:09.360 I had a question.

01:18:10.700 What happens if,

01:18:11.880 uh,

01:18:12.180 if D,

01:18:12.700 if DC fights,

01:18:13.780 uh,

01:18:14.080 Nganu?

01:18:14.520 Oh,

01:18:17.680 I don't know,

01:18:18.460 man.

01:18:19.120 I don't know.

01:18:20.180 We saw Stipe out wrestle in Nganu,

01:18:22.960 but that was a little bit,

01:18:23.700 you know,

01:18:23.880 a little while back.

01:18:26.780 You know,

01:18:27.280 Daniel's,

01:18:27.880 he's a heavyweight,

01:18:29.100 but he's not a big guy.

01:18:30.420 He is not,

01:18:31.200 dude.

01:18:31.300 He's like my height.

01:18:32.100 He might be an inch taller than me.

01:18:33.740 Wow.

01:18:34.440 Yeah.

01:18:35.020 Yeah.

01:18:35.500 And,

01:18:35.740 and Nganu is a,

01:18:37.000 is a huge human being,

01:18:38.220 dude.

01:18:39.040 He's big.

01:18:39.560 And I'm friends with Daniel.

01:18:40.680 He can get it done,

01:18:41.600 but that's,

01:18:42.460 you know,

01:18:42.720 one mistake and you,

01:18:44.340 but he was a strike force Grand Prix heavyweight champion.

01:18:46.860 You know,

01:18:47.060 he beat a bunch of other former champions to,

01:18:49.200 to win that belt.

01:18:50.140 That Nganu guy is scary though, 0.99

01:18:52.640 man.

01:18:54.060 Dude.

01:18:54.800 Damn,

01:18:55.380 bro.

01:18:56.420 Man.

01:18:57.260 His arms are like long cars.

01:18:58.980 He has like limousines in his arms,

01:19:00.700 bro.

01:19:01.240 You say that they said like his,

01:19:02.660 uh,

01:19:02.900 punching power was equal to like a Ford Taurus or something.

01:19:06.060 So I don't know.

01:19:07.020 I don't do the numbers,

01:19:08.460 but I guess that's a pretty good car to be compared to.

01:19:11.580 That's a lot,

01:19:12.400 man.

01:19:13.220 Um,

01:19:13.860 have you ever,

01:19:14.340 have you been on,

01:19:14.840 uh,

01:19:15.200 Mike Tyson's podcast?

01:19:17.120 Nah,

01:19:17.520 man,

01:19:17.640 I would love to go.

01:19:18.460 I would love to go.

01:19:19.360 Yeah.

01:19:19.560 It seemed like something you would,

01:19:20.540 uh,

01:19:21.520 that you would be on ranch.

01:19:23.140 Yeah.

01:19:23.520 That's Tyson ranch,

01:19:24.540 bro.

01:19:25.280 After the fight,

01:19:26.140 man,

01:19:26.340 he's serving the,

01:19:26.960 the salads with marijuana in him over there.

01:19:28.980 Yeah,

01:19:29.200 bro.

01:19:29.420 A lot of it.

01:19:30.300 A lot of it.

01:19:31.500 Um,

01:19:31.820 well,

01:19:33.020 dude,

01:19:33.300 I'm so excited for you,

01:19:34.760 man.

01:19:34.940 Thanks for jumping on.

01:19:35.700 I just wanted to kind of touch base and just kind of see what you were

01:19:37.860 thinking after the fight,

01:19:38.780 man.

01:19:39.140 Uh,

01:19:39.740 obviously you really enjoyed it.

01:19:41.020 Was there,

01:19:41.380 what was the biggest surprise to you of the evening?

01:19:42.920 You think?

01:19:43.440 Honestly,

01:19:45.480 the biggest surprise was,

01:19:46.500 was,

01:19:46.880 uh,

01:19:47.260 Tony's durability.

01:19:48.740 Cause he got hit clean often.

01:19:52.260 And,

01:19:52.700 uh,

01:19:53.080 you know,

01:19:53.360 he absorbed most of it.

01:19:54.540 I believe in the,

01:19:55.300 in the final few punches that he kind of turned away and the ref stopped it.

01:19:59.060 I think the ref knew something was wrong with Tony.

01:20:00.880 And obviously there was so great stoppage.

01:20:02.800 His orbital was broken.

01:20:03.780 If they would have continued to fight,

01:20:05.300 you know,

01:20:05.480 the broken orbital could cause you to go blind.

01:20:07.220 And a lot of bad things can happen if you,

01:20:08.780 if you get hit while you're,

01:20:09.720 you know,

01:20:09.920 structure,

01:20:10.420 your face is broken.

01:20:11.120 So great job by the ref.

01:20:12.780 And,

01:20:13.160 uh,

01:20:13.360 but,

01:20:13.580 but I was really surprised at,

01:20:14.580 at Tony's durability,

01:20:15.520 man.

01:20:15.780 I didn't,

01:20:16.800 I didn't think he,

01:20:17.600 he was that durable at all.

01:20:19.400 Um,

01:20:19.880 would you have stopped that?

01:20:21.580 Uh,

01:20:21.860 would you have stopped the Cruz Cejudo fight?

01:20:24.740 That's tough.

01:20:25.420 Cause I thought Cruz was,

01:20:26.560 you know,

01:20:26.900 building up.

01:20:27.520 I thought he was starting to,

01:20:28.600 and there was only a few seconds left in the round.

01:20:30.220 Yeah.

01:20:30.860 And it's a world title fight,

01:20:32.500 you know,

01:20:34.540 man,

01:20:35.660 of course,

01:20:36.660 on this side,

01:20:37.220 as a fighter,

01:20:37.680 I want to let me go out.

01:20:39.820 You know,

01:20:40.060 I know what I signed up for.

01:20:41.020 I know what I'm walking in there to do.

01:20:42.080 I know the dangers.

01:20:42.940 Yeah.

01:20:43.200 Let me go out all the way.

01:20:45.020 So we know the fight's over.

01:20:46.560 Um,

01:20:46.920 and I feel like Cruz was kind of robbed of that opportunity to,

01:20:50.440 to be put all the way out and,

01:20:51.940 uh,

01:20:52.640 or to get up and,

01:20:53.560 and continue fighting.

01:20:55.620 Yeah.

01:20:56.000 You gotta,

01:20:56.440 gotta let it play out.

01:20:57.400 You gotta let it play out.

01:20:58.780 Um,

01:20:59.340 UFC and boxing world,

01:21:00.820 obviously,

01:21:01.180 you know,

01:21:01.380 cross paths sometimes.

01:21:02.440 Uh,

01:21:02.800 have you,

01:21:03.260 have you heard anything about a Tyson comeback?

01:21:05.600 I heard some,

01:21:07.780 some rumblings of him,

01:21:09.020 maybe joining bare knuckle fighting and,

01:21:11.040 uh,

01:21:11.340 yeah,

01:21:12.800 bro.

01:21:13.000 That's brutal.

01:21:13.520 I've been to a few of their shows.

01:21:14.640 I've been to one out here in Miami and I've,

01:21:16.080 I've been to one in Mississippi and dude,

01:21:18.540 that's hard to watch,

01:21:20.460 man.

01:21:20.580 And I love fights.

01:21:21.300 And I've been to thousands of fights sitting ringside and watching these

01:21:25.180 guys bump knuckles.

01:21:26.600 Oh man.

01:21:28.200 It's,

01:21:28.560 it's,

01:21:28.660 it's.

01:21:29.800 Does it take you back to a,

01:21:31.280 does it take you back to a time like in the beginning of your career or

01:21:34.540 is it just a totally different ball game?

01:21:37.320 Yeah.

01:21:37.740 It's a,

01:21:38.040 it's a,

01:21:38.440 you know,

01:21:39.500 I've never fought bare knuckle,

01:21:40.920 uh,

01:21:41.320 only in street fights,

01:21:42.280 you know,

01:21:42.420 but I've never fought a sanctioned bare knuckle fight only at Mardi Gras.

01:21:45.680 Huh?

01:21:46.380 Oh dude.

01:21:47.140 Yeah.

01:21:47.580 That's why I don't even go to Mardi Gras.

01:21:48.800 I don't even go to Mardi Gras anymore,

01:21:49.220 man.

01:21:49.860 Uh,

01:21:50.020 yeah,

01:21:50.280 dude.

01:21:50.820 In Louisiana,

01:21:51.880 bro,

01:21:52.140 you,

01:21:52.360 you,

01:21:52.720 you too many guys want to,

01:21:54.360 uh,

01:21:54.920 too many fake Mike Perry's want to show up,

01:21:57.080 you know?

01:21:58.060 Yeah.

01:21:58.740 Yeah.

01:21:59.640 I don't want them problems,

01:22:00.640 man.

01:22:01.180 I don't know,

01:22:01.700 but I know they,

01:22:02.360 uh,

01:22:02.420 bare knuckle also fight, 0.97

01:22:03.640 uh,

01:22:03.960 signed a former world champion,

01:22:05.180 Shannon Briggs,

01:22:05.720 a guy out here in Florida.

01:22:07.480 So if,

01:22:08.120 if Tyson does sign to bare knuckle,

01:22:10.620 I mean,

01:22:10.860 these are two legitimate heavyweight champions of the world that could fight bare knuckle

01:22:15.900 would be,

01:22:16.340 it would be madness.

01:22:17.260 Wow.

01:22:17.440 That'd be crazy to see Tyson bare knuckle.

01:22:21.240 Dude,

01:22:21.620 he's 50 something years old.

01:22:22.920 Oh,

01:22:23.220 it looks like right.

01:22:24.660 The way he's moving.

01:22:25.440 Oh man.

01:22:26.420 Each one of his knuckles is like a fist.

01:22:29.000 They say,

01:22:29.720 uh,

01:22:30.600 power's the last thing to go.

01:22:32.400 Really?

01:22:32.820 When you aging as a fighter.

01:22:34.260 Yeah.

01:22:34.460 Power's the last thing to go.

01:22:35.700 Damn.

01:22:36.100 And that's what he had the most of all power.

01:22:39.080 Yeah.

01:22:39.300 I know.

01:22:40.000 Damn.

01:22:41.520 Uh,

01:22:41.960 well,

01:22:42.360 cool,

01:22:42.600 man.

01:22:42.800 Best of luck,

01:22:43.400 dude.

01:22:43.660 I hope you have a good time over there with your family in Florida,

01:22:45.720 man,

01:22:46.020 and excited to see you in the ring,

01:22:47.120 man.

01:22:47.200 Hopefully as soon as a month.

01:22:48.820 Yeah.

01:22:49.140 They said next month.

01:22:49.960 So somebody's going to be though.

01:22:51.220 Yeah.

01:22:51.460 I love it.

01:22:52.540 Right.

01:22:53.300 Dang,

01:22:53.700 man.

01:22:54.160 Dustin,

01:22:54.480 the diamond for you.

01:22:55.400 Thanks so much.

01:22:56.120 Champ.

01:22:56.340 We'll see you soon.

01:22:57.880 Yes,

01:22:58.080 sir.

01:22:58.260 Thanks for having me.

01:22:58.940 All right.

01:22:59.120 Cheers,

01:22:59.340 brother.

01:22:59.540 And that is Dustin Poirier right there.

01:23:04.720 And,

01:23:05.260 and sports are back,

01:23:07.800 man.

01:23:07.980 It did feel good to have sports being back.

01:23:10.760 It felt good to,

01:23:13.220 I mean,

01:23:13.640 I can't,

01:23:14.000 I don't know what the numbers were,

01:23:15.140 how many people tuned into that,

01:23:16.840 but just to have people just,

01:23:18.380 to see people doing something,

01:23:21.480 interacting,

01:23:22.640 and to see people fighting in real life,

01:23:24.860 not on Facebook was nice.

01:23:27.040 They should have one round.

01:23:28.380 It's just two motherfuckers from Facebook.

01:23:31.320 Put them out there,

01:23:32.480 huh?

01:23:32.780 Put them little dirty bears out there in the park and see them. 1.00

01:23:35.600 But no,

01:23:40.080 always a pleasure to talk to,

01:23:41.280 to Dustin,

01:23:42.720 excited to see the next step of his career.

01:23:46.760 You know,

01:23:47.840 just exciting,

01:23:49.940 man,

01:23:50.100 to be in that world.

01:23:53.240 You know,

01:23:53.920 just to be in that world where,

01:23:56.600 just the fierceness of it,

01:23:57.960 and to just,

01:23:58.900 to get in,

01:23:59.880 want to get into a fight,

01:24:01.000 and imagine being in a fight,

01:24:02.660 and knowing what you're doing in the fight.

01:24:05.600 That was always the hardest thing for me,

01:24:07.560 bro.

01:24:07.680 I would get in a fight,

01:24:08.540 dude,

01:24:08.680 and have no clue what I was doing.

01:24:11.640 I was not,

01:24:13.120 I just felt like I was not fighting.

01:24:15.200 That's what I felt like I was doing a lot of times.

01:24:19.700 But no,

01:24:20.220 people want to get back to regular life,

01:24:22.180 but is regular life ever going to be the same?

01:24:24.380 It's a little risky.

01:24:26.700 You know,

01:24:27.460 it's wild,

01:24:29.360 man.

01:24:29.580 It's a,

01:24:30.060 it's,

01:24:31.100 you know,

01:24:33.700 there's a,

01:24:34.100 it's a rebirth.

01:24:36.560 It's a rebirth going on.

01:24:40.440 Which is just so fitting that Mother's Day just passed,

01:24:43.220 because

01:24:43.520 it's a rebirth.

01:24:51.340 You know,

01:24:52.040 and what are we going to do?

01:24:55.640 I like the way that Dustin does it,

01:24:57.480 man.

01:24:57.620 You show up,

01:24:58.220 you fight.

01:24:59.240 We keep fighting.

01:25:00.040 We keep fighting,

01:25:02.540 man.

01:25:04.160 That's what we do.

01:25:09.120 What else?

01:25:10.500 I think we did well for today.

01:25:13.360 You know,

01:25:13.940 this past card was the first card of UFC that I watched all the way through from top to bottom.

01:25:20.560 Man,

01:25:22.180 it was great.

01:25:23.900 And,

01:25:24.300 you know,

01:25:24.460 Dustin brought up Bryce Mitchell and he did a great job.

01:25:26.840 You know,

01:25:27.020 he,

01:25:27.340 we're,

01:25:27.820 you know,

01:25:28.300 really fortunate that he and Dustin and Uriah Faber have been our only UFC guests to come in.

01:25:33.660 And,

01:25:33.940 and we've wanted to have some more and maybe we will in the future,

01:25:36.700 but,

01:25:37.580 you know,

01:25:39.640 I'm just,

01:25:40.080 I've just been learning about the sport.

01:25:44.560 But just,

01:25:45.420 you know,

01:25:45.860 a lot of people are just itching to go whatever their job is.

01:25:51.280 If they's a fighter,

01:25:52.400 they ready to fight.

01:25:53.620 If they's a milkman,

01:25:54.720 they ready to drop off that milk.

01:25:57.000 You know,

01:25:57.280 they're ready to drip that leche on their neighbor or on somebody,

01:26:00.960 splash somebody with a little bit of that white fucking breast gunpowder. 1.00

01:26:07.780 You know,

01:26:08.340 everybody's ready to kind of get back and fight.

01:26:10.280 I think we got,

01:26:17.200 I think we got to a good space here.

01:26:20.120 I think we got to a good space.

01:26:26.900 You know,

01:26:27.800 these are our lives,

01:26:29.540 man.

01:26:29.720 These are our lives.

01:26:34.600 These are our lives and we got to live them.

01:26:38.160 You know,

01:26:38.640 we got to live them.

01:26:40.280 So if you're struggling with some motivation,

01:26:43.420 I,

01:26:43.500 you know,

01:26:44.400 I really hope that you find it and,

01:26:45.940 and just take that next step,

01:26:48.380 take a small step and a few small steps,

01:26:50.160 make a big step and a few big steps,

01:26:54.780 make a real distance and you can be in a new space.

01:27:00.620 Thank you guys for being here and being a part of my life today.

01:27:04.260 And,

01:27:04.380 and you guys be good.

01:27:08.940 Oh,

01:27:10.160 I got the hiccups,

01:27:11.160 man.

01:27:12.700 I didn't even have anything.

01:27:14.160 I had some water.

01:27:15.700 Oh my God.

01:27:19.140 Um,

01:27:20.000 well,

01:27:22.980 I'm not going to waste your time or my time anymore.

01:27:25.160 Not really my time.

01:27:26.160 This is the,

01:27:26.660 really the most exciting thing that I do.

01:27:28.060 Uh,

01:27:29.280 what else?

01:27:32.400 That's it,

01:27:32.980 man.

01:27:33.620 We did it.

01:27:34.900 We did it.

01:27:36.120 You know,

01:27:36.620 I'm,

01:27:36.860 um,

01:27:38.020 thankful to everybody that gave in a call.

01:27:54.640 Um,

01:27:55.860 you know,

01:27:56.280 he has a good speaking of fighting.

01:27:57.500 He has a charity called the good fight foundation,

01:27:59.460 and we'll put the link in,

01:28:00.540 in,

01:28:00.880 uh,

01:28:02.640 uh,

01:28:02.720 and thank all you guys for,

01:28:03.820 for continuing to fight,

01:28:04.840 man.

01:28:05.360 This is our lives,

01:28:06.900 you know,

01:28:07.360 and we all have different ways that we go about fighting.

01:28:10.120 Um,

01:28:11.160 but,

01:28:12.020 uh,

01:28:12.820 but we don't give up.

01:28:14.880 You guys be good to yourselves,

01:28:16.380 man.

01:28:17.060 And,

01:28:17.420 uh,

01:28:17.900 and I'm gonna do the same for me,

01:28:19.140 man.

01:28:19.320 We deserve it,

01:28:20.060 brother gang.

01:28:21.340 I'm just sitting on your front porch,

01:28:24.180 wondering how could I be so far from my home.

01:28:32.280 And my mind is somewhere else,

01:28:34.860 but when I find it,

01:28:36.460 I'll patch up where it's been blown.

01:28:43.400 Now I'm just floating on the breeze,

01:28:46.420 and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.

01:28:49.380 I must be cornerstone.

01:28:54.640 Oh,

01:28:55.420 but when I reach that ground,

01:28:57.320 I'll share this peace of mind I found.

01:29:00.120 I can feel it in my bones,

01:29:03.520 but it's gonna take a little time for me to set that parking brake and let myself unwind.

01:29:15.800 shine that light on me.

01:29:19.440 I'll sit and tell you my stories.

01:29:25.700 shine on me.

01:29:29.340 I will find a song I will sing it just for you.

01:29:38.280 And now I've been moving way too fast on the runaway train with a heavy load of my past.

01:29:50.520 And these roads that I've been riding on,

01:29:56.160 they're worn so thin that they're damn near gone.

01:29:58.860 I guess now they just weren't built to last.

01:30:02.500 I'm gonna try to make sense of what I can of where I'm going and where I've been.

01:30:14.140 Shine that light on me.

01:30:18.320 I'll sit and tell you my stories.

01:30:23.960 Shine on me.

01:30:28.760 And I'll be finding a song I will sing it just for you.

01:30:36.600 And I will find the words to help you make it through.

01:30:40.940 If you call my name,

01:30:43.480 I'll sing it to you.

01:30:45.980 Shine that light on me.

01:30:50.760 Shine that light on me.

01:30:52.660 I'll stick and tell you my stories.

01:30:57.120 Shine on me.

01:31:01.120 And I will find a song I will sing it just for you.

01:31:09.980 I will shine.

01:31:14.740 Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

01:31:28.500 Shine, shine on me

01:31:33.980 Shine, shine on me

01:31:41.500 Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

01:31:45.000 Shine, shine on me

01:31:51.500 Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

01:31:56.380 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jonathan Kite, and welcome to Kite Club,

01:32:03.300 a podcast where I'll be sharing thoughts on things like current events, stand-up stories, and seven ways to pleasure your partner.

01:32:10.500 The answer may shock you.

01:32:12.500 Sometimes I'll interview my friends. Sometimes I won't.

01:32:16.500 And as always, I'll be joined by the voices in my head.

01:32:19.500 You have three new voice messages.

01:32:22.500 A lot of people are talking about Kite Club.

01:32:25.500 I've been talking about Kite Club for so long, longer than anybody else. So great.

01:32:30.500 Hey, sweetheart, here's a deal. Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker. Do you know what I mean?

01:32:39.500 Hi, I'll take a quarter pounder with cheese and a McFlurry.

01:32:43.500 Sorry, sir, but our ice cream machine is broken.

01:32:45.500 Oh, no!

01:32:47.500 I think Tom Hanks just butt dialed me.

01:32:49.500 Anyway, first rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.

01:32:53.500 Second rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.

01:32:57.500 Third rule, like and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, or watch us on YouTube, yeah?

01:33:03.500 And yes, don't worry, my Brad Pitt impression will get better.
