00:01:05.980 Shine that light on me

00:01:10.140 I'll sit and tell you my stories

00:01:15.860 Shine that light on me

00:01:20.740 I'll sit and tell you my stories

00:01:25.800 Bryce Mitchell. How was that flight, man?

00:01:30.880 Nah, I don't like flying.

00:01:32.780 Really?

00:01:33.580 I wore my boots for the flight.

00:01:34.980 Yeah? The whole time you take them off while you're on the plane?

00:01:37.480 No, hell no. I leave them boots on. You know why I wear my boots on a plane?

00:01:41.440 Hold on, let me think for a second.

00:01:43.980 Nuh-uh.

00:01:45.000 Right when I get on, I'm looking for terrorists.

00:01:47.200 Really?

00:01:47.440 Always assume there's about four of them.

00:01:49.920 Yeah.

00:01:51.100 You know, and if there's four of them, you know how they operate, right? There's going to be two sleepers. So I'm really, I'm looking for the four ones that are going to pop up.

00:01:59.100 Yeah.

00:01:59.340 Those are the motherfuckers I'm dropping first. You know what I'm saying? And the most that can attack you, even if there's four of them on a plane, only two can attack you. One in the front and one in the back. I got a pair of boots. I'm going boom, right to the nuts. Right to the nuts. You know what I'm saying? Boom, right to the nuts. Boom, boom. Turn around. Taking out another one. I'm going to start stomping on their heads and shit. And then I'm looking for the sleepers.

00:02:19.380 Oh, yeah. And so the sleepers, but how many more do you think that they would have?

00:02:23.720 At least two sleepers. If they know what they're doing. If not, there's some rookies, I'm going to fuck them up anyways.

00:02:28.400 Yeah, if not, this is Bush League terrorism.

00:02:30.460 Yeah.

00:02:33.000 If not, this is a small time outfit, you know? It's probably just some fucking fellas out of Jackson. You know, it's probably just some guys that went to USM. You know, that's probably all it is.

00:02:42.880 I'm ready for the real shit.

00:02:44.140 Yeah. Dude, I think about that sometimes. A buddy of mine reported a guy on his flight who seemed, like, sketchy, you know?

00:02:54.900 And the whole time, the flight attendant's, like, watching this guy. And I think it was just, like, a sweaty guy, you know?

00:03:01.140 Just look real fidgety.

00:03:02.480 Yeah, yeah.

00:03:03.140 I keep my eyes on him, yeah. Those could be your sleepers right there, you know?

00:03:07.260 I love that.

00:03:07.580 They might not stand up first, but you know they're back there just geeking.

00:03:10.780 Yeah, they're ready.

00:03:11.900 Yeah.

00:03:12.600 They're just back there sharpening their fuses.

00:03:14.600 Yeah, they got their little shanks and shit. That's why I got my boots on, buddy.

00:03:18.480 I love it, man. Was it nerve-wracking? This is your first time to Los Angeles?

00:03:22.600 Yes, sir.

00:03:23.180 That's awesome.

00:03:23.840 Well, I've actually stopped at the airport before, because my mom, she took me to Hawaii one time, me and my sister, and we stopped to L.A. and then flew to Hawaii.

00:03:30.700 But this is my first time, like, getting out, walking around and stuff. I really like the sushi.

00:03:35.320 Yeah?

00:03:35.640 I got good sushi.

00:03:36.480 You went and had some, huh?

00:03:37.400 Yeah, twice already.

00:03:38.400 Damn, bro. You fucking branching out.

00:03:41.680 Yeah, I know, man.

00:03:42.480 They're not going to recognize you when you get home, man.

00:03:46.060 They're going to, because a lot of sushi I had growing up, a lot of times we just had catfish mostly, which is really my favorite.

00:03:52.680 But then you start getting them.

00:03:54.220 Catfish in the sushi?

00:03:55.440 No, I've never had catfish in the sushi.

00:03:56.820 I'm about to say. Now, that don't sound good at all.

00:03:59.560 You got to fry that catfish, man. I've tried to do gumbos and whatnot with it, man. It just needs to be fried.

00:04:05.000 Yeah. I wonder why that is. I wonder why you can't do catfish as, like, a sushi.

00:04:10.820 Well, you can't eat it raw, because it's, like, a freshwater or whatnot. I've heard that.

00:04:17.680 Oh, that makes good sense, probably.

00:04:18.800 You can only eat those saltwater fish.

00:04:21.860 Oh, that makes sense.

00:04:23.000 Mainly saltwater fish. You can only eat them raw. But, like, salmon, I guess they're saltwater and freshwater.

00:04:28.040 They kind of alternate or something like that. But catfish, you ain't supposed to eat it raw, ever.

00:04:33.880 I guess even by looking at it, if I look at it, I'll be like, oh, I ain't eating this raw.

00:04:37.900 Even if I just look it in the face, it makes me feel like.

00:04:40.400 Dude, they're my favorite.

00:04:41.700 Yeah.

00:04:41.920 They are my favorite. They're my favorite to catch. They're probably my favorite to eat.

00:04:45.580 They're just, like, little dirty bottom feeders, man, just like me.

00:04:49.520 Hey, man, bro.

00:04:50.360 Dude, I remember we used to go fishing for, like, bullheads, they used to call them.

00:04:54.380 Like, small.

00:04:54.980 Yeah, little ones, yeah.

00:04:55.680 You know what I'm talking about?

00:04:55.900 Yeah.

00:04:56.560 And we'd go catch those, and those are, like, some of the first things that we would catch when I was saying.

00:04:59.640 Well, them are the tastiest ones. You know, when they start getting too big, they don't taste as good.

00:05:03.300 You have to actually trim off a lot of the meat.

00:05:05.440 Yeah.

00:05:06.020 And when they get too big, you get, like, a 10-pounder.

00:05:08.300 You're going to be, you know, trimming some meat off of it that you don't even want to eat because it turns red.

00:05:13.080 Because once they get, like, a certain age, I guess all the chemicals and shit in the water starts building up in their system.

00:05:19.440 Because they're collectors, really. That's the thing. They're almost like a shrimp of a fish, really.

00:05:23.840 I mean, they're definitely, they're not really, yeah, I guess they're not your cleanest ones.

00:05:28.360 Oh, that's interesting. I never thought that sushi comes from a lot more of ocean fish.

00:05:33.500 Yeah, that salt water, I guess, purifies it or something like that.

00:05:37.420 What do you get? What kind of sushi do you get?

00:05:39.800 I like the salmon.

00:05:41.340 Sashimi?

00:05:41.920 I like them all. I like every damn one of them.

00:05:44.080 But I just, the reason I get the salmon is because I hear everybody say it's the healthiest for you.

00:05:49.220 So I'll get, like, salmon and scallop and stuff like that because I'm really just trying to eat healthy when I eat it.

00:05:53.880 Yeah.

00:05:54.040 Now, what will you get? You get that sashimi where they, it's just the fish or you get it on the little, on those little, the little rice bags?

00:06:02.040 I do the rolls of it where they come in, like, little rolls like that big.

00:06:05.360 And sometimes, like, the one I got today, it had, it had salmon in the middle of the roll.

00:06:09.980 And then on the outside it had, I mean, I'm sorry, it had scallops in the middle of the roll.

00:06:13.640 And on the outside it had salmon.

00:06:15.340 So I'm just trying to eat healthy, really.

00:06:17.200 Yeah?

00:06:17.420 And so you like sushi because it really provides, it provides, it's easy to eat healthy there.

00:06:22.260 Yeah, yeah.

00:06:22.920 It's like something good that's healthy, too, you know, because a lot of the stuff that you eat that's healthy, you don't really like it.

00:06:28.720 You know, it's just, you're just eating it because it's healthy.

00:06:30.580 Well, sushi, I like it and it's healthy.

00:06:32.660 So it killed two birds with one stone.

00:06:34.400 Do they have a sushi place in your town?

00:06:38.160 They have one.

00:06:39.060 And, I mean, it's pretty pricey.

00:06:40.920 You know, if I go there, it's a special occasion.

00:06:42.920 Oh, yeah, prom or something.

00:06:43.700 Actually, yeah, ask my girlfriend out there.

00:06:45.540 We went and had sushi.

00:06:46.600 Yeah.

00:06:46.660 Yeah.

00:06:47.680 Yeah, that's kind of a, dude, I remember when I was growing up, dude, they had one of the, if you took a girl to sushi.

00:06:52.700 That's some real shit.

00:06:53.480 Yeah, especially like in a small town.

00:06:55.300 And it was like a real, that was taking a girl out.

00:06:58.200 Yeah, yeah, that's how I done it.

00:06:59.140 That was really showing her out.

00:07:00.200 That's how I done it, man.

00:07:01.480 The girl that you're seeing, did you, were you dating her in high school or what?

00:07:04.920 No, she's a, you know, when I was in high school, she was, she was way out of high school.

00:07:10.320 She's older than me.

00:07:11.040 I think she's seven years older than me.

00:07:13.400 Was she an adult?

00:07:14.260 Yeah.

00:07:15.280 She's a grown-ass woman.

00:07:16.460 Damn, bruh.

00:07:19.120 Hell yeah, dude.

00:07:20.640 Let her spank you sometime, dude.

00:07:22.360 You know what I'm saying?

00:07:23.020 She might have to, man.

00:07:24.080 I won't say nothing, man.

00:07:25.960 I won't say nothing, bruh.

00:07:27.940 Dude, we used to do peeping time whenever I was growing up and we used to go and they

00:07:32.160 had this one house you could go to, dude, and the man was always, him and the wife was always

00:07:37.020 spanking each other.

00:07:38.620 And we would go fucking.

00:07:39.940 You just looking through a hole in the wall?

00:07:41.640 No, no, no.

00:07:42.060 By the window.

00:07:42.660 We would just get up out the window and watch.

00:07:44.540 Nice.

00:07:45.000 I used to love it, man.

00:07:46.380 I used to love that kind of stuff.

00:07:49.460 Were you nervous about flying to Los Angeles?

00:07:51.120 I mean, you said you flew here before, but were you nervous about getting here?

00:07:54.100 Has there been anything that's been unique that you've seen that stands out, you know?

00:07:59.900 I pretty much just went to the hotel.

00:08:01.940 I'm actually, I am nervous about walking around town and shit.

00:08:05.940 I didn't really go nowhere.

00:08:06.940 You know, I don't, I don't like to go nowhere.

00:08:08.940 I don't even like to travel.

00:08:10.120 Honestly, I really don't.

00:08:11.320 I like to sit home.

00:08:12.280 I like to, if I got free time, I like to go out somewhere, you know, go fishing or, you

00:08:17.280 know, something like that.

00:08:18.080 But big cities and stuff, they scare me.

00:08:20.240 I don't like walking around.

00:08:21.600 Yeah.

00:08:22.660 Well, I noticed you too.

00:08:23.600 Especially without my pistol.

00:08:24.760 Yeah.

00:08:27.520 I don't know if this is a concealed carry statement.

00:08:29.820 I don't think it is.

00:08:30.760 I wasn't going to fuck around and find out.

00:08:33.540 But look, I say also keep a couple on you.

00:08:35.880 That's right.

00:08:36.400 Yeah, fuck it.

00:08:37.660 Yeah, I say the same thing.

00:08:39.180 Or just throw a bullet really hard at somebody.

00:08:41.080 I'll fucking do that too.

00:08:42.940 I got these boots, but that's about it.

00:08:44.760 There you go, man.

00:08:45.920 Dude, it would be cool if you got the tips of those boots plated like a bullet, you know?

00:08:50.160 Mm-hmm.

00:08:50.660 With like the copper at the really end.

00:08:52.540 That'd be pretty dope.

00:08:53.700 And some steel toes?

00:08:54.720 Yeah.

00:08:55.320 Oh, they're just regular.

00:08:56.180 I got them for five bucks at a yard sale.

00:08:58.200 Oh, nice, man.

00:08:58.940 They're just your regular ass kicking boots.

00:09:01.300 Do you have a yard at home?

00:09:02.780 What's your, I know you got a driveway.

00:09:05.040 I've heard you talk about it.

00:09:05.800 Do you have a yard?

00:09:06.720 Yeah.

00:09:07.060 Yeah.

00:09:07.300 It's all pasture.

00:09:08.460 It is?

00:09:08.680 I got like probably, I don't know, maybe 10 trees or something, you know, but a bunch

00:09:17.180 of, you know, just acres of just pasture, field.

00:09:20.040 It's all good hay.

00:09:21.040 Yeah.

00:09:21.360 Actually, I don't really know a ton about hay, but I called over a buddy who does and he

00:09:25.380 says, you got pretty good hay, about 50 bucks a bell.

00:09:27.800 And they cut it.

00:09:28.480 Does he come and cut it or no?

00:09:30.260 Well, first year that I moved in, I told my neighbor, he's really nice.

00:09:35.960 And I like the guy, his name's Mr. Jimmy.

00:09:38.340 Well, Jimmy had cows out on me and I didn't care.

00:09:42.840 I wanted the cows out there because they eat the hay, they fertilize.

00:09:45.760 I want to farm it all anyways.

00:09:47.360 You know, I'm just kind of waiting until I get my farm equipment set up and everything,

00:09:50.720 but I want to farm it.

00:09:51.520 So I want that, that soil being fertile and whatnot.

00:09:55.220 Oh yeah.

00:09:55.680 And it's nice looking too, seeing the cows out there.

00:09:57.520 Pretty cool.

00:09:57.940 Yeah.

00:09:58.140 They would headbutt my trailer and shit, kind of left some holes.

00:10:00.840 So I had to barb wire around the trailer.

00:10:02.420 But other than that, and you know, they're constantly shitting in the yard, but my dogs

00:10:05.520 kind of scared them off around the trailer.

00:10:08.280 So they weren't shitting like right by the trailer all the time, but sometimes they would.

00:10:12.760 If the dogs would run out, they'd come up to the trailer, they'd headbutt my barb wire

00:10:16.040 and shit everywhere.

00:10:16.940 Oh, so they're playing a little game or something with the pluggies.

00:10:18.860 Yeah.

00:10:19.240 Yeah.

00:10:19.600 They play grab ass with them dogs out there.

00:10:21.720 I like it, man.

00:10:23.040 So the first year I had Jimmy and Jimmy was just taking all the hay and giving it to his

00:10:28.120 cows.

00:10:28.520 And Jimmy's nice.

00:10:29.360 I don't mind.

00:10:30.180 I didn't mind it at all.

00:10:31.940 You know, never said anything about it.

00:10:33.460 So yeah, take it all.

00:10:34.240 I sure as didn't care.

00:10:35.400 Well, he sold all them cows, right?

00:10:38.920 And so he sold all them cows and some other dudes start taking the hay.

00:10:42.980 Well, I guess his name's Johnny, you know, whatever the hell his name is.

00:10:46.180 I don't know.

00:10:46.660 So Johnny comes over and Johnny's taking the hay.

00:10:48.860 And I tell him, hey, man, how about 200 bucks for this whole field?

00:10:54.880 You know, and that was, I appraised it.

00:10:57.980 I got my buddy who does it for, you know, on the side.

00:11:00.520 And he said, man, you got at least $1,200 worth of hay, at least maybe $1,500 worth,

00:11:06.120 just depending on where you're selling it at.

00:11:07.860 That grass appraiser, dog.

00:11:09.180 Somebody's got to know.

00:11:10.180 Yeah.

00:11:10.360 Well, I got Bermuda.

00:11:11.580 Oh, wow.

00:11:12.360 Bermuda's supposed to be the best of the best for the hay.

00:11:15.360 And he said, you've got Bermuda in your yard.

00:11:17.500 You've got the good shit.

00:11:18.200 I got the good shit.

00:11:19.180 This ain't no brown frown, dog.

00:11:20.760 You got that fucking sticky.

00:11:22.620 Yeah.

00:11:22.820 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

00:11:23.560 I got the good shit.

00:11:24.680 And so Jimmy comes, or Johnny comes over and he says, can I mow all that?

00:11:29.420 And I said, well, it has 200 bucks sound.

00:11:31.320 And like I said, I already had it appraised.

00:11:33.460 It's probably about 1,200 bucks worth of shit.

00:11:36.140 Typically, you're looking at like a 40, 60 split.

00:11:39.460 They take 60, you take 40, because they're paying for all the equipment.

00:11:43.580 Yeah.

00:11:44.220 They're putting in hours.

00:11:46.080 Yeah.

00:11:46.380 You know, so 40, 60.

00:11:47.120 You're not doing anything.

00:11:47.840 You're watching them.

00:11:48.600 Yeah.

00:11:49.020 And owning the land.

00:11:50.020 Yeah.

00:11:50.400 And I'm sitting here asking for less than 20, you know.

00:11:54.460 What'd he say?

00:11:55.440 Shakes my hand and says, okay, you got a deal.

00:11:58.260 Comes back the next day.

00:11:59.480 I'm outside painting.

00:12:01.200 He comes up, storms his truck in my driveway, just slams on the brakes, gets out.

00:12:06.440 This is an older fella, you know.

00:12:07.860 And I'm not a fucking, a cow.

00:12:10.980 I'm not going to punch an older fella.

00:12:12.460 Yeah.

00:12:12.560 You know, but this motherfucker walks up to me like he's going to plumb whoop my ass.

00:12:15.700 He storms up to me.

00:12:17.420 And he says, you know what?

00:12:18.440 I thought about what you said, and you ain't no man of your word.

00:12:21.060 You told Jimmy he could have all this, hey, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:12:25.300 And I said, hey, your name ain't Jimmy, motherfucker.

00:12:27.420 You know, I didn't tell you shit, you know.

00:12:29.480 I did tell Jimmy he could have the, hey, you ain't Jimmy, you know.

00:12:33.700 And then blah, blah, blah.

00:12:34.960 Yeah, yeah.

00:12:36.140 And he says, well, I'm putting up a gate between our, or a fence between our yards.

00:12:39.580 I said, I don't give a fuck.

00:12:40.740 You waste your time, put up your fence.

00:12:42.700 I don't give a fuck.

00:12:44.240 Next day he comes over apologizing, blah, blah, blah.

00:12:47.220 He says, I'm sorry for the way I acted.

00:12:49.000 I was mad that my, I guess one of his little tools broke.

00:12:52.280 He hit a stump with his little hay harvester and it broke one of his little things.

00:12:56.580 So he was mad about that.

00:12:58.180 I forgave him, but we're not on good terms, you know.

00:13:01.420 He just pissed me off.

00:13:03.160 So you and the hay guy really, y'all have fallen out a little bit.

00:13:06.280 Yeah, definitely.

00:13:07.500 Damn.

00:13:08.600 But yeah, I guess in some, do you guys have anything else on your property that's like

00:13:12.740 pecans, acorns, anything like that?

00:13:16.480 Anything that's really sellable?

00:13:17.880 I got a little bit of acorns in the back.

00:13:20.380 I'm going to plant some, I have planted some oak trees.

00:13:22.820 I planted two of them.

00:13:23.720 I planted like more than 10 of them.

00:13:26.560 Only two of them left because I planted them at the wrong time.

00:13:28.920 I don't know the first thing about farming, but, um, but it's a long-term goal of yours.

00:13:33.460 Oh, definitely, man.

00:13:34.620 Like I want to have cattle.

00:13:35.740 I want to put some oak trees in the back, have the acorns and, you know, have corn and

00:13:41.660 taters.

00:13:42.280 Yeah.

00:13:42.440 The whole thing, man.

00:13:43.280 Oh, hell yeah.

00:13:43.980 And my Mimi, she, she grew up on a farm, you know, that's kind of what made me want to

00:13:47.500 do it.

00:13:47.940 And she lives there near you?

00:13:49.580 Well, she, she's passed away.

00:13:51.060 She's from Hot Springs.

00:13:52.260 So that's about, that's about two hours from my place.

00:13:54.440 So I moved about two hours north of Hot Springs and, uh, let's throw these on.

00:13:58.920 So we can get in it.

00:14:02.480 Well, um, so she always said that, that, uh, tomatoes and okra, she, she swore up and

00:14:10.460 down.

00:14:10.700 She said tomatoes and okra grows good in Arkansas.

00:14:13.320 So I'm definitely going to grow tomatoes and okra.

00:14:16.500 And Mimi, you said that's your grandmother?

00:14:18.360 Uh-huh.

00:14:18.780 Yeah.

00:14:19.740 And, um, what crops do they have around you guys?

00:14:24.560 Soybeans, uh, a lot of corn, a lot of cotton.

00:14:28.520 There's a shit ton of rice.

00:14:30.360 Oh, really?

00:14:30.940 Arkansas is the number one producer of rice in the country.

00:14:33.260 I believe number two in the world.

00:14:34.980 Wow.

00:14:35.540 Yeah.

00:14:35.720 Out of all the other countries, I think we produce more than most countries in the state

00:14:38.980 of Arkansas.

00:14:39.640 Damn, that's fascinating.

00:14:40.480 I didn't know that.

00:14:40.800 China whoops us, but you know, it's all of fucking China.

00:14:43.060 Yeah, but tell China to come over here and do it, dude, we'll whoop their ass, right?

00:14:46.740 That's what I'm saying, man.

00:14:47.680 That's what I'm saying, dude.

00:14:49.200 Exactly.

00:14:49.500 It's easy to fucking grow, do whatever you're doing over there.

00:14:52.360 Uh-huh.

00:14:53.800 You love Arkansas, man.

00:14:55.640 Mm-hmm.

00:14:56.140 You love it.

00:14:56.880 I do.

00:14:56.980 And has your, has your family lived there for a long time?

00:14:58.880 Are you guys?

00:14:59.760 As far back as I know.

00:15:01.320 Yeah.

00:15:01.680 Uh, my family's lived in Arkansas.

00:15:04.160 So I, all I know back is my great grandma Cora.

00:15:07.260 My great grandma Cora, you know, Bill Clinton's from Arkansas.

00:15:09.860 Mm-hmm.

00:15:10.520 My great grandma Cora babysat Bill Clinton.

00:15:12.640 Oh, wow.

00:15:12.980 Yeah, she, she raised him.

00:15:14.500 And what, does she remember anything about him, any low-key information?

00:15:17.380 Well, she loved him.

00:15:19.020 She loved, my grandma hated him.

00:15:20.400 My Mimi, she hated him.

00:15:22.000 She despised him.

00:15:22.860 My mom don't like him, uh, just because of his politics and whatnot.

00:15:26.620 But as, as far as, uh, who raised him, that was my great grandma.

00:15:31.260 Wow.

00:15:31.340 She raised him.

00:15:32.380 Her name's Cora Walters.

00:15:33.720 Mm-hmm.

00:15:33.940 She's in the book, uh, that My Life by Bill Clinton.

00:15:37.760 Mm-hmm.

00:15:37.920 I don't, I didn't read the book.

00:15:39.100 I just skipped to the page with her picture.

00:15:40.700 She's in it.

00:15:41.040 That's hilarious, man.

00:15:42.460 I've listened to the, what's funny is I've listened to the audio book of that.

00:15:45.780 Mm-hmm.

00:15:46.360 Um, Fayetteville's beautiful.

00:15:48.280 People don't give Fayetteville, it doesn't get enough credit, man.

00:15:50.960 Mm-hmm.

00:15:51.480 Yeah.

00:15:52.060 Beautiful.

00:15:52.640 It's about three hours for me.

00:15:54.020 Oh, okay.

00:15:54.580 Up there is where I bought my Toyota.

00:15:56.520 That's the last time that I went up there.

00:15:57.860 I bought a Toyota this year.

00:15:59.540 A little Corolla.

00:16:00.380 Mm-hmm.

00:16:00.520 Good on gas.

00:16:01.320 Mm-hmm.

00:16:01.900 Had to drive up to Fayetteville to get it.

00:16:03.920 Does it have a backseat or not?

00:16:05.460 Mm-hmm.

00:16:05.800 Mm-hmm.

00:16:06.100 Yeah.

00:16:06.420 Mm-hmm.

00:16:07.060 Mm-hmm.

00:16:07.080 I like that.

00:16:07.360 Yep, 240,000 miles on it.

00:16:09.180 Still going strong.

00:16:10.040 Oh, damn, bro.

00:16:11.520 That thing, look, dude, after 200, it ain't gonna stop.

00:16:15.000 No.

00:16:15.260 That's what I say.

00:16:15.900 That thing ain't gonna fucking go till fire gets it.

00:16:17.860 Mm-hmm.

00:16:18.080 I got a manual, too.

00:16:19.420 Oh, really?

00:16:20.020 Mm-hmm.

00:16:20.520 Damn, bro.

00:16:20.900 It's gonna go.

00:16:22.700 You wear a shirt when you drive or you don't?

00:16:24.640 Just a pinch.

00:16:25.660 Yeah, I feel you, bro.

00:16:28.820 Was that your first car?

00:16:31.140 It was my first good one.

00:16:33.360 My other car, actually, I did have a Honda Civic.

00:16:35.720 It was good.

00:16:36.260 It was automatic transmission.

00:16:37.780 Yeah.

00:16:38.400 It was going good, man.

00:16:39.800 220,000 miles in it, and I had to change out the timing belt.

00:16:44.420 And I was gonna do it myself, but you had to have this.

00:16:48.280 Well, I thought at the time you had to have this fancy-ass tool to do it.

00:16:51.820 Mm-hmm.

00:16:52.640 And it turns out, I looked on YouTube.

00:16:54.720 This guy did it.

00:16:55.340 He rigged up his own wrench.

00:16:56.520 It was like, you basically have to have this heavy-duty wrench.

00:16:58.760 Yeah, you gotta, or somebody really strong in a crowbar, you gotta have.

00:17:01.520 And that's, yeah, I seen a dude on YouTube doing it with a pipe and a crowbar.

00:17:05.560 Yeah.

00:17:05.740 He took his wrench, put a pipe on the end of it, and then tugged it in.

00:17:10.140 I could have done that, but I didn't know that at the time, so I took it in.

00:17:14.300 Two weeks, three weeks after I got that timing belt changed, the bolt that holds all that

00:17:21.500 shit together broke while I was driving down the road.

00:17:23.380 So, I already know that the mechanic probably, it wasn't a car, it was probably the mechanic

00:17:27.340 when he was tightening that bolt, and he probably either stripped it on the way out, you know,

00:17:32.100 cracked it on the way out, or put it on too tight.

00:17:34.540 Mm.

00:17:34.680 But, the Honda Civic was a good car.

00:17:37.820 Now, I had a Nissan Altima, and it was shit.

00:17:39.760 It had one of them CVT transmissions.

00:17:41.720 Oh, I don't even familiar with that.

00:17:43.600 What is it?

00:17:44.700 I guess it stands for, maybe...

00:17:47.800 I used to make love to a girl that had Altima, though.

00:17:49.960 Yeah.

00:17:50.420 Beautiful girl, man.

00:17:51.640 God, she was beautiful.

00:17:52.600 The car sucks, though, man.

00:17:53.960 Does it?

00:17:54.260 Well, the newer ones, like the 2007 plus, if you go back to, like, the 90s, they're good

00:17:59.840 cars, but they started fancying them up.

00:18:02.540 When they got to, like, 2007, they started making these CVT transmissions.

00:18:07.740 They are shit, man.

00:18:08.620 I had my transmission went out at 110,000 miles.

00:18:11.840 That's nothing.

00:18:12.960 That's nothing at all, man.

00:18:14.080 Yeah.

00:18:14.500 That's nothing.

00:18:15.020 You could do that, bro.

00:18:15.820 You could fucking do that on a bike.

00:18:17.200 Yeah.

00:18:17.540 Yeah.

00:18:17.880 That's what I'm saying.

00:18:18.720 And the old ones, though, they were very good.

00:18:21.560 Like, the 90s, from the 90s, early 2000s.

00:18:23.600 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:23.820 That's what she had.

00:18:24.540 She had something from the 90s, bro, in this thing.

00:18:26.760 Solid.

00:18:27.340 The windows didn't work on it, bro, but fuck it.

00:18:30.060 You know what I'm saying?

00:18:30.800 Sometimes it's wet inside.

00:18:32.200 Mm-hmm.

00:18:32.520 But she was a beautiful girl, man.

00:18:35.460 What was the job you had before fighting?

00:18:40.240 I paint a lot.

00:18:42.840 Used to.

00:18:43.800 You ever work at a restaurant or anything like that?

00:18:45.520 Mm-mm.

00:18:46.420 Mm-mm.

00:18:46.780 Just painting a lot, really.

00:18:48.960 I mean, I've done some landscaping and shit like that.

00:18:52.000 Do you have, does anybody in your family have a business like that?

00:18:55.200 Do landscaping or painting?

00:18:56.340 Or how'd you get into painting?

00:18:58.140 Well, I was playing video games one day.

00:19:00.180 I was, like, 16 years old.

00:19:02.460 Just some young, stupid punk.

00:19:04.040 And I was sitting there in my bedroom playing video games.

00:19:07.200 And some dude killed me.

00:19:08.300 Mm-hmm.

00:19:08.820 I started talking crap.

00:19:10.300 I got mad and just busted my door down.

00:19:13.540 I mean, didn't just punch a hole in it.

00:19:15.340 I mean, I punched a damn.

00:19:16.480 Half the door was broke.

00:19:17.580 Oh, yeah.

00:19:17.820 I've seen some of the work you do, man, on YouTube.

00:19:19.920 Yeah.

00:19:20.160 I've seen you in the ring, man.

00:19:22.040 Like, man, I was, for like two weeks before it got fixed, I didn't have to open my closet.

00:19:26.160 I'd just grab a shirt through the hole.

00:19:27.720 You know, it was a big, it was a huge-ass hole.

00:19:29.580 I didn't even open the door.

00:19:30.440 I'd just grab a shirt out, you know.

00:19:32.540 Well, my mom, she made me pay to get it fixed.

00:19:34.640 And she hired this guy.

00:19:36.200 He's old, old Vietnam veteran and whatnot.

00:19:39.520 Oh, yeah.

00:19:39.980 But good dude.

00:19:41.500 He'd come to fix the door and say, hey, you want a job?

00:19:43.820 I've been working for him, you know.

00:19:45.320 Oh, wow.

00:19:45.780 Yeah.

00:19:46.080 Taught me everything I know about painting.

00:19:47.700 When you go back home now, are you still painting in your side?

00:19:50.460 Are you doing the side work?

00:19:52.020 Every now and then.

00:19:53.000 Yeah.

00:19:53.300 Every now and then.

00:19:54.060 But I try not to overload myself with it or nothing like that.

00:19:57.740 You know, just every now and then.

00:19:59.180 Yeah.

00:19:59.760 And how often are you training?

00:20:02.600 Like, you guys just had a fight.

00:20:03.780 Are you going to kind of start back in the new year?

00:20:06.060 No.

00:20:06.500 I trained right when I got back.

00:20:08.180 I trained five days last week.

00:20:10.860 I'm going to train tonight.

00:20:12.020 I'm going to go.

00:20:12.560 I know you're doing a show.

00:20:13.940 Yeah.

00:20:14.120 I really want to go to that show, man.

00:20:15.440 But I got to go to 10th Planet while I'm here.

00:20:18.280 I've never been to 10th Planet.

00:20:20.240 I mean, if it wasn't my career, if I was here for vacation and shit, you know, I'd go

00:20:24.300 to your show 10 out of 10 times.

00:20:26.300 But it could save my life in a fight.

00:20:28.600 You know, me going to 10th Planet, asking one of them guys, Eddie Bravo, man, like, I

00:20:32.460 mean, he's fucking legit.

00:20:34.980 He's a legend.

00:20:35.480 And I know y'all probably look at him as the funny guy that fucks around and y'all go

00:20:39.980 hang out.

00:20:40.520 Dude, I look at him like professor.

00:20:42.300 You know, like this dude knows his shit.

00:20:44.420 You know what I'm saying?

00:20:45.240 Yeah.

00:20:46.060 Yeah.

00:20:46.480 Well, I'll tell you this.

00:20:47.180 I was just texting with him earlier.

00:20:48.480 I told him you were going to be in.

00:20:49.920 Tell him I said, what's up, brother?

00:20:51.540 I will.

00:20:52.180 I certainly will, man.

00:20:56.380 So when you think about, is it recently that fighting started to become to seem more like

00:21:04.520 an actual profession?

00:21:06.480 Because, you know, you just signed a deal with UFC, right?

00:21:09.440 Mm-hmm.

00:21:10.860 And is it starting to seem like more like a profession?

00:21:13.920 Definitely the more that I've done it, the more.

00:21:19.260 Because I notice things go from a hobby sometimes to, okay, this is like something that's starting

00:21:25.040 to be kind of real.

00:21:26.020 And then it starts to seem like, okay, this is my job.

00:21:30.900 Yeah, definitely.

00:21:32.100 You know?

00:21:32.120 You know?

00:21:32.140 Definitely.

00:21:32.460 Like what I was born to do.

00:21:34.100 Yeah.

00:21:34.320 It's definitely set in to me that when I first started, you know, you're just messing around

00:21:39.700 just seeing if you can win a fight.

00:21:41.560 And then, but yeah, I've come to the realization this is what I was born to do.

00:21:46.200 You know?

00:21:46.520 I was born to go in there and do this shit.

00:21:48.300 And that's, you know, I can see me providing for the people that I love with this shit.

00:21:52.620 It's not a joke no more.

00:21:53.620 It ain't no hobby.

00:21:54.580 You know, I got to go out here and I got to fucking win.

00:21:56.980 Yeah.

00:21:57.120 And I've got to.

00:21:57.940 There's no other fucking, you know, I was put here to do this for my family.

00:22:01.760 And that's right.

00:22:03.920 You know?

00:22:04.280 Do you feel whenever you, do you start to feel more comfortable when you go into the

00:22:08.840 octagon?

00:22:09.940 Do you start to feel more comfortable in a cage?

00:22:11.800 What is it like?

00:22:13.060 Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:22:13.720 Because I just, the only thing I can compare it to really is comedy.

00:22:17.520 And I know it's different, but going into something where you're against someone else,

00:22:22.220 you know, I'm kind of against an audience in a way.

00:22:24.600 Like, but in the beginning, does it feel more like nerves?

00:22:29.940 And then it starts to feel more like, okay, confidence.

00:22:33.480 Does that make any sense?

00:22:34.780 Yeah, it is a lot of that, man.

00:22:36.960 And now when I go in there, it's like, she's like, I don't really know.

00:22:43.300 It's, you summed it up pretty well.

00:22:45.520 You know, it's hard to put into words how I felt about it over the years.

00:22:49.560 But now I'd say I go in there confident.

00:22:52.220 I go in there for months.

00:22:53.880 I visualize hurting this guy.

00:22:55.640 I visualize him hurting me.

00:22:58.140 You know, if I was to die in there, I visualize that.

00:23:01.820 Yeah.

00:23:01.880 You know, I visualize just some of the worst things that can happen.

00:23:05.160 And, and I'm, I'm, I go in there and just like, just feel really calm about it.

00:23:11.060 You know, just, uh, I, I mean, there's not really, I, I'm not good at putting it into

00:23:16.640 words how, how I feel.

00:23:17.960 It's just a, it's a sense of easiness, you know, like, like I'm, I, I'm not really stressed

00:23:22.900 out about it.

00:23:23.400 I'm really not, you know, I'm comfortable.

00:23:24.800 I know that I was born to do this shit.

00:23:27.600 You know, that's, this is the only thing I'm worth the piss at.

00:23:30.580 And, uh, you know, my family can live better lives if I go in here and do this right.

00:23:35.360 So, uh, I just feel like I'm supposed to be there.

00:23:38.480 I don't even care if I died in there.

00:23:39.840 You know, it's like, that's, that's what I'm supposed to be doing.

00:23:43.040 Amen, brother.

00:23:43.880 And if you die, would you want to die?

00:23:45.400 You think like face, like belly down or belly up?

00:23:48.400 You think I'm thinking like suplex, like straight up dropped on my head.

00:23:52.120 And then I'm still, you want to go out with a neck.

00:23:53.720 I want it to be in the first round.

00:23:55.460 They break my neck and then I fight the other four rounds on the broken neck.

00:23:58.780 Yeah.

00:23:58.980 They're going to be like, damn, that motherfucker was bad.

00:24:01.240 Million dollar Bryce.

00:24:02.120 Yeah, dude, million dollar Bryce, man.

00:24:06.120 Two dollar neck, though.

00:24:07.200 That's what they're going to say, man.

00:24:08.480 That's crazy, bro.

00:24:10.240 That would be so, and then at the end, you just die.

00:24:13.240 Just drop dead.

00:24:14.460 Yeah, you're like, I was supposed to die a few rounds ago, but I hung out to get this done.

00:24:18.700 After that, I'll get reincarnated after that.

00:24:20.860 I'll come back as like an eagle or something.

00:24:22.400 What would you be, man?

00:24:23.520 A dragon or some shit, you know?

00:24:25.120 Well, that's two, that's a wide spectrum, man.

00:24:28.220 That's a wide spectrum.

00:24:30.120 Eagle or a dragon, one of the two.

00:24:31.440 Really, I could see you more like a fox, like a fucking strong fox, and also maybe one of

00:24:36.260 its parents was a pit bull.

00:24:38.120 You know what I'm saying?

00:24:38.940 Like the mountain goats.

00:24:40.240 You ever seen a mountain goat?

00:24:41.320 Yeah.

00:24:42.000 I could be one of them.

00:24:43.100 It's fucking amazing how they can stay on the side of a mountain.

00:24:45.320 Yeah, how they climb up there.

00:24:46.640 Oh, yeah.

00:24:46.900 I've seen a lot of videos, man.

00:24:47.840 I've watched tons of videos of, to see how a four-legged thing that's almost like a rectangle

00:24:52.760 can stay on the side of a mountain.

00:24:55.080 You ever seen them eagles knock them off?

00:24:57.040 It blows my mind.

00:24:58.040 Uh-uh.

00:24:58.120 Well, that's how the eagles hunt them, and they'll wait until they're up on that mountain

00:25:01.740 and just swoop by.

00:25:03.060 Ka-ka!

00:25:03.860 You get them?

00:25:04.500 Boom.

00:25:04.940 Just knock them off.

00:25:05.700 They tumble down.

00:25:06.700 Oh, that's beautiful almost.

00:25:08.360 Yeah.

00:25:08.560 Um, do you start to have, like, ideas of, you know, I know you say you want to train

00:25:13.780 in Arkansas, and you love training in Arkansas, and then obviously your home means a lot to

00:25:17.440 you.

00:25:18.060 Do you start to think about training elsewhere at a certain point?

00:25:23.640 I mean, Arkansas is always going to be your home, for sure.

00:25:26.400 Yeah, I've cross-trained a lot of places over the years.

00:25:29.760 Uh, I think the most that I've ever been away from home was about a month and a half.

00:25:34.840 And, man, it was so terrible.

00:25:36.200 I don't think I'll go that far away from home again, uh, or that long, I mean.

00:25:40.980 It was just terrible, man.

00:25:42.260 Like, I just wanted to be home so bad.

00:25:45.200 And the dudes was assholes where I was at anyways.

00:25:47.820 At one of the places.

00:25:48.760 When I went for a month and a half, I went, I did a triangle.

00:25:51.360 I went to Chicago.

00:25:53.460 Mm-hmm.

00:25:54.340 Three weeks, slept on my buddies.

00:25:56.860 Slept on my buddies, and then, uh.

00:25:58.220 And what were you doing, just traveling or what?

00:25:59.800 Traveling and training.

00:26:00.760 Mm-hmm.

00:26:01.020 Yep.

00:26:01.700 Yep.

00:26:02.620 That was in that Nissan Altima with the shitty transmission.

00:26:05.520 Oh, yeah.

00:26:06.060 Yeah, I drove all around the country in that car.

00:26:08.140 I went, yeah, I went to, uh, Chicago, stayed up there.

00:26:11.660 I went to Denver, and then I went to San Diego.

00:26:14.380 Have you heard of, uh, Jeff Glover?

00:26:16.620 Mm-mm.

00:26:17.140 Okay, I went, I went to.

00:26:18.260 Dick of you?

00:26:18.880 Yeah, jiu-jitsu legend.

00:26:20.600 Yeah, fucking legend.

00:26:21.600 And I went to his place.

00:26:22.960 He choked the shit out of me.

00:26:24.760 Did he?

00:26:25.280 Yeah, he's, he's good, man.

00:26:26.680 He's good.

00:26:27.500 Um.

00:26:27.880 Is it an honor to get choked out by somebody that great?

00:26:30.140 Oh, definitely, dude.

00:26:31.120 And I'm not giving him nothing.

00:26:32.480 You know, I would never go in there and let this dude tap me.

00:26:34.920 Like, he, he legit, you know, he got me.

00:26:37.140 Wow.

00:26:37.700 Yeah.

00:26:38.460 And do you try to go, so you try to go hard on him no matter who it is, huh?

00:26:41.820 I mean, if that's what you guys are doing.

00:26:43.160 I mean, obviously, some stuff, you ain't gonna crank it all the way up.

00:26:45.360 Yeah, yeah.

00:26:46.120 You know, and you can go hard without trying to, trying to hurt him.

00:26:49.840 You know, like an arm bar, you don't have to crank it as hard as you can.

00:26:52.600 You can just kind of ease up on it.

00:26:54.140 But, uh.

00:26:55.020 Yeah, and if you're sparring, you know, I have a thing with not wanting to get knocked out

00:26:58.620 in a gym.

00:26:59.160 So, I'll always tell, and I went to, uh, for example, now that we're talking about that

00:27:03.400 San Diego trip, I went to, uh, Alliance MMA.

00:27:06.200 And you know Dominant Cruz.

00:27:08.300 Yeah.

00:27:08.640 No, I do not.

00:27:09.220 Nick does.

00:27:10.020 Yeah.

00:27:10.480 Dominant Cruz, Jeremy Stevens.

00:27:12.200 Well, I went down there to Alliance for like two days and, uh, trained down there and they

00:27:16.220 do a lot of sparring and they spar hard.

00:27:18.000 And I told them, I said, hey man, please don't knock me out.

00:27:20.320 You know, and that's, that's how I start out the conversation.

00:27:22.720 I don't even, you know, when I go up to a new guy in a gym, I don't even tell him my

00:27:26.400 name.

00:27:26.660 I just say, hey brother, please don't knock me out.

00:27:29.120 Yeah.

00:27:29.560 I'm with the, yeah.

00:27:30.500 I'm not a Jehovah's witness, man.

00:27:32.080 Yeah.

00:27:32.240 Yeah.

00:27:32.640 Yeah.

00:27:33.040 Exactly.

00:27:34.400 Exactly.

00:27:34.760 You know, I don't want to, especially in somebody's gym, usually when, you know, new

00:27:40.200 guy comes up in a gym, he lands a couple punches on you.

00:27:44.260 You're thinking, fuck you.

00:27:45.480 I'm taking your head off.

00:27:46.600 You know what I'm saying?

00:27:47.440 Yeah.

00:27:47.600 And so I just let them know right off the bat, hey, please don't knock me out.

00:27:50.920 Yeah.

00:27:51.140 I'm not here for that.

00:27:52.220 And then I start out the, the round with just like some bullshit jabs just to let them

00:27:57.140 know this is the pace I'm setting pop, pop, you know, and that's it.

00:28:00.440 And I've never had anybody in another gym, um, in sparring, uh, try to hurt me.

00:28:07.980 You know, I have in my own gym and I've just walked away.

00:28:11.480 I've just been like, fuck this dude.

00:28:13.440 I'm out for the day.

00:28:15.700 And I've had a guy, he was a heavyweight.

00:28:18.460 It was, uh, it was actually in that Denver trip when I stopped at Denver.

00:28:21.520 He's a heavyweight, retired UFC fighter.

00:28:25.500 Uh, you know, jujitsu, how you, you usually start on the knees, you'll, you'll touch and

00:28:29.920 then boom.

00:28:30.440 And then you're going, you know, where I was going with this guy and he's a heavyweight.

00:28:34.680 I mean, he was fucking me up, you know, he was come on me and he was arm barring me and

00:28:40.220 just like the Kimura, I had my hands, I was defending it.

00:28:43.140 He just break my grip.

00:28:44.080 He's just so damn strong.

00:28:45.520 And I mean, that don't bother me.

00:28:46.860 I tell I was tapping quick, you know, I was just like, tap, tap, tap, you know, let's go

00:28:50.580 again, let's, let's do it again.

00:28:52.020 Let me learn something.

00:28:52.880 Yeah.

00:28:53.040 I'm here to learn, you know, I came to get tapped out.

00:28:55.260 I don't mind.

00:28:56.300 And, uh, I mean, this dude's just destroying me.

00:28:58.240 Probably tapped me out like five times, just Kimuras and all this shit, cranking and all

00:29:02.100 this shit.

00:29:02.560 Well, he was behind me.

00:29:05.020 You ever heard of a standup and wrestling?

00:29:07.360 Like it's when a, it's when somebody on the ground stands up.

00:29:10.240 That's very simple.

00:29:11.640 Yep.

00:29:12.300 Well, it's a, it's an escape, you know?

00:29:14.460 So this guy's behind me.

00:29:15.640 I'm on all fours.

00:29:16.520 I stand up.

00:29:17.480 I turn around to some, like I, I break.

00:29:20.500 His grip.

00:29:21.100 I strip the grip is what they call it.

00:29:22.720 I strip the grip.

00:29:23.800 I get it.

00:29:24.440 And I turn around and I face him.

00:29:25.920 I go right back to my knees.

00:29:27.360 And what happened?

00:29:28.400 And he says, you stand up again.

00:29:29.840 I'm going to fuck you up.

00:29:31.260 This is a, and so, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:29:34.140 This is at a gym in Denver.

00:29:35.720 And I mean, everybody else at the gym was nice and I didn't have any problems with anybody

00:29:39.520 at the gym, but that motherfucker right there just pissed me off.

00:29:43.080 I'll never forget that.

00:29:43.980 That pissed me off.

00:29:44.680 And I'm like, dude, you fucked me up.

00:29:46.020 I'm going to find you out in the parking lot.

00:29:47.240 You know, you're bigger, but I'll find something, you know, like.

00:29:50.140 Yeah.

00:29:50.460 I'll start.

00:29:50.980 Yeah, dude.

00:29:51.280 I'll start at the knees and work my way up.

00:29:52.800 Yeah, that's what I'm saying, man.

00:29:53.580 That's just, you know, that just kind of pissed me off.

00:29:56.420 Fucking Bryce and the Beanstalk, dude.

00:29:58.160 You roll right up.

00:29:59.260 You know what I'm saying, bro?

00:30:00.680 I mean, I remember stuff like that, man.

00:30:02.500 That just pisses me off.

00:30:03.540 And I wasn't, you know, I wasn't being cocky or nothing.

00:30:06.640 You know, I stood up.

00:30:07.480 I returned right back to the knees and where I'm from, how you negotiate, you say, hey,

00:30:12.680 I would like you to not stand up again.

00:30:14.300 And I'll say, yes, sir.

00:30:15.400 Yeah.

00:30:15.720 And I won't ever stand up on you again if I know you don't like people standing up.

00:30:19.900 Right.

00:30:20.840 But shit, that's common where I'm from.

00:30:22.420 In the middle of the round, you try to stand up and you restart, you know.

00:30:25.920 How did you get into it, man?

00:30:27.160 How did you get into, how did you get into, who brought you into fighting, man?

00:30:32.260 Well, my first fight, I was about, you know, yay tall, you know, just out messing around

00:30:40.360 in the backyard and then.

00:30:41.660 Who was it?

00:30:43.420 Well, it just depends.

00:30:46.000 I, you know, I guess the first little bit of roughhousing that I did, it was all, you

00:30:51.300 could consider it training.

00:30:52.700 Okay.

00:30:53.480 You know, you could consider that training.

00:30:56.240 My first legit fight, it was my neighbor.

00:30:59.840 His name was ****.

00:31:00.880 Oh, yeah, dude.

00:31:01.820 Dude, everybody, bro, I'll tell you this, dude, everybody in rural America or in the

00:31:06.820 south rural area has a fucking neighbor named ****, bro.

00:31:10.260 No shit, dog.

00:31:12.260 Okay, let's hear more.

00:31:13.540 And this motherfucker, man, he was.

00:31:14.520 And was he selling weed, too, or no?

00:31:16.480 Yeah, man, he was on some shit.

00:31:17.920 He got addicted to heroin.

00:31:19.620 Oh, yeah.

00:31:20.520 And started worshiping Satan and shit, but, you know, but.

00:31:24.140 Really?

00:31:24.440 That's such an old-fashioned thing.

00:31:25.780 But this was way, way before all that.

00:31:27.780 This was, we was all young.

00:31:29.160 So it all started on a bus.

00:31:30.760 And I got a buddy.

00:31:32.720 On what, a Greyhound or school?

00:31:34.040 School bus.

00:31:34.760 Yeah.

00:31:35.220 And my buddy comes up to me.

00:31:37.700 We had just maxed out.

00:31:38.940 And he played football.

00:31:39.980 I played basketball.

00:31:41.020 So y'all maxed out in the gym?

00:31:42.240 In the gym.

00:31:42.800 We did bench press.

00:31:43.660 Hell, yeah.

00:31:43.880 Both the football team and the basketball team.

00:31:45.700 So I got a buddy.

00:31:46.400 He comes up.

00:31:47.040 What'd you hit, 225 or what'd you hit?

00:31:48.920 It was like 115.

00:31:50.760 Yeah.

00:31:51.120 I was in seventh grade.

00:31:52.660 Oh, never mind, man.

00:31:53.680 My bad.

00:31:54.120 My bad.

00:31:54.360 Still, that's weak, but still.

00:31:55.640 It ain't bad, though, but it ain't too bad, bro.

00:31:58.020 Well, I guess Cody benched like 145 or something.

00:32:00.400 Game, bro.

00:32:01.080 Yeah.

00:32:01.640 He had some good, and he was bigger than me.

00:32:03.920 He's like six inches taller.

00:32:05.940 He benched more, but he didn't train.

00:32:08.280 I'd already trained in the backyard.

00:32:09.920 You know, like my neighbors would whoop my ass and we would box and stuff.

00:32:12.900 Cody, I think he just thought because he benched more, he's just going to plumb whoop my ass.

00:32:16.440 So a dude comes up to me that was sitting by Cody.

00:32:20.440 He's actually a really good friend of mine, you know, one of my best friends, but he's

00:32:24.200 starting some shit.

00:32:24.960 He comes up to me.

00:32:25.780 He goes, Cody says he benches more than you.

00:32:29.740 You know, he's stronger than you.

00:32:31.040 He benched 145.

00:32:32.180 He only benched 115.

00:32:33.860 I said, well, you tell Cody I don't give a shit.

00:32:36.360 And he goes up there, and he tells Cody I don't give a shit.

00:32:38.920 Well, Cody, I get.

00:32:39.680 And I don't even know what Cody, if even Cody even said anything.

00:32:42.800 I think this dude could be just stirring up some shit.

00:32:45.100 I love that, man.

00:32:46.460 That's Dana White.

00:32:47.280 That's just a young Dana White right there.

00:32:48.720 He's just promoting, you know.

00:32:50.340 And so he comes back and says, Cody says he ain't scared of you.

00:32:53.260 And I said, well, tell Cody I'll still beat his ass.

00:32:56.080 And so he told me.

00:32:56.940 And so long story short, you know, I go down to Cody's house, and he lived down a hill,

00:33:01.060 so I wore my rollerblades.

00:33:02.460 Oh, hell yeah.

00:33:02.960 I rollerblade down this hill, swapping in my shoes, and we start.

00:33:08.120 Well, there's a bunch of neighbors.

00:33:09.700 There's about six neighbors there.

00:33:10.920 And they showed up, huh?

00:33:11.840 They showed up.

00:33:12.600 Yeah, they're wanting to see this shit.

00:33:13.700 And we didn't, we could have fought at Cody's house, but his mom was home, so we fought

00:33:17.980 down the street.

00:33:19.500 And, uh...

00:33:20.540 Oh, yeah.

00:33:21.460 Now are y'all shirts off?

00:33:22.620 Yeah, huh?

00:33:23.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:33:23.560 Hell yeah, bro.

00:33:23.940 We started getting, I mean, shit's going down, man.

00:33:25.960 And I laced, yeah, I laced the shoes up, so we're about to go, right?

00:33:30.480 You got your rollerblades thrown over your shoulder?

00:33:32.500 Yeah, dude, I'm ready to fucking go, and I'm dipping out.

00:33:34.940 I'm already got my plan.

00:33:36.120 I'm fucking doing this, and I'm getting out.

00:33:37.860 I'm rollerblading home as fast as I can.

00:33:39.620 Yeah, dude, I'm going to put a dip in after.

00:33:40.700 I'm fucking going.

00:33:41.640 I'm out of here.

00:33:43.100 And the neighbors, they start saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait.

00:33:46.780 You know, somebody could die.

00:33:48.500 That's what one of the neighbors started saying.

00:33:49.780 They said, I seen if you punch them in the nose, the bones will go in the brain.

00:33:55.500 That's what you always hear, bro.

00:33:56.920 And so that's what one of my neighbors started saying.

00:33:58.720 No, dude, somebody's going to get hit in the nose, and they're going to, the nose is

00:34:02.520 going to go up in the brain.

00:34:03.820 Someone's dead.

00:34:04.340 I'm telling you, we can't let this happen.

00:34:06.060 That's rural logic, bro.

00:34:07.300 And then, yeah, so that's what they started saying.

00:34:09.340 Well, they have their little committee, their commission meeting, you know, and they say,

00:34:13.280 okay, no face shots.

00:34:14.800 Oh, I love this, dude.

00:34:15.800 I said, all right, fuck it.

00:34:17.100 Let's go.

00:34:18.080 Right off the bat, boom, I take them down.

00:34:20.300 I get in on them.

00:34:21.060 You know, we're throwing a little bit, but I get in on them, take them down, and I just

00:34:25.780 mount them and start punching them right in the throat, which is way worse than the nose.

00:34:30.820 Anything.

00:34:31.500 That's way worse than the nose.

00:34:32.800 The throat is just like a big, wide kind of nose that's under your head.

00:34:37.300 Yeah, and, you know, it'll crush.

00:34:40.400 You know, it'll actually kill you.

00:34:42.220 Getting hit in the nose won't, but getting hit in the throat will actually kill you, so

00:34:46.160 I'm punching this dude in the fucking throat.

00:34:47.760 I don't know any better.

00:34:48.720 You know, that's the only word that I didn't think of.

00:34:50.540 And now, at that point, are you fighting, like, this is what's interesting, man, because

00:34:53.560 I remember being in shit like this when I was growing up, right?

00:34:56.160 People would arrange it, and then it would kind of come around, and then it's so funny,

00:34:59.380 you remind me of rules.

00:35:00.720 People started with making rules, like, well, look, no weapon, you know, you can't bring

00:35:04.460 anything in.

00:35:05.160 And one time, they said you couldn't punch, you could only kick, bro, and they taped their

00:35:08.680 arms.

00:35:09.120 I remember they duct taped their arms by the side of us one time.

00:35:11.580 That's fucked up.

00:35:12.540 It's fucked up, but it's fun, too, though, dude.

00:35:14.700 You know, you do, like, a lot of, like...

00:35:16.140 That's how you get good at kicking.

00:35:17.500 Yeah, you get good at kicking, dude.

00:35:19.260 It's really...

00:35:20.320 The hard part is getting up off the ground once you're on the ground, dude.

00:35:23.800 It's just two fucking idiots in duct tape trying to just get up, you know?

00:35:27.400 You should have been good if the other dude fell down, you just stomp him.

00:35:30.220 But at the...

00:35:30.780 Yeah, that's a good point, bro.

00:35:32.040 But you gotta be up when he falls down.

00:35:33.740 Yeah, you don't wanna fall down.

00:35:34.920 Yeah.

00:35:35.360 Well, you know how...

00:35:36.060 You can do a get-up.

00:35:37.060 You know how to do a get-up?

00:35:38.160 Uh-uh.

00:35:39.240 You should know how to do a get-up.

00:35:40.840 How do I do it?

00:35:41.880 I could do one.

00:35:43.700 I don't know if you can get on the camera.

00:35:45.700 You wanna see a get-up?

00:35:46.920 Yeah, I'll see it.

00:35:47.280 I'll do a get-up, bro.

00:35:48.440 You will?

00:35:48.940 Yeah, you gotta put it on the camera, though.

00:35:50.460 Yeah, we'll see it.

00:35:51.000 People gotta see this.

00:35:51.900 Oh, we'll make sure that we see it right here.

00:35:53.640 If you're fighting with your hands duct-tape, this is the only way to get up.

00:35:56.520 Okay.

00:35:57.240 All right.

00:35:58.340 He's about to pop up like Shawn Michaels.

00:36:00.460 Right here.

00:36:00.880 So, say you just kick me in the chest.

00:36:02.620 Yep.

00:36:03.400 Boom.

00:36:03.800 I'm down.

00:36:04.440 All right.

00:36:06.260 Oh, damn.

00:36:07.280 Damn, bro.

00:36:10.740 That's how you gotta get up, brother.

00:36:12.940 Yeah, dude, that's some James Brown shit, man.

00:36:15.080 Hey, I'm ready for that shit.

00:36:16.340 Sign me up.

00:36:17.040 Duct-tape arms.

00:36:17.920 I'm down, man.

00:36:19.200 Yeah, it's almost like the...

00:36:20.640 Don't break your back, brother.

00:36:22.880 We didn't see if I could do that.

00:36:23.700 Huh?

00:36:24.060 Yeah.

00:36:24.520 There we go.

00:36:24.940 Don't break your back, brother.

00:36:25.920 I practiced that a lot.

00:36:28.000 That wasn't my first try.

00:36:31.560 That wasn't my first try.

00:36:33.060 I'm not gonna lie.

00:36:33.280 I gotta try that.

00:36:36.020 Try this shit, bro.

00:36:37.540 All right.

00:36:38.800 All right.

00:36:41.440 God, that ain't it, bro.

00:36:42.840 That ain't it, dude.

00:36:44.480 Hey, that shit worked.

00:36:45.720 Put in trouble with that.

00:36:46.800 Hey, that shit'll work.

00:36:48.160 Next week, I'm gonna have a video for you.

00:36:49.460 Do it.

00:36:50.640 Oh, hey, the shit works.

00:36:53.640 If you get back up, you get back up.

00:36:55.480 That's an old man, man, bro.

00:36:56.540 That's an old man get up, dude.

00:36:58.520 That's an old man get up.

00:37:00.340 But now, at that point, when you're fighting, man, here's something I remember about being

00:37:03.940 in that type of environment.

00:37:05.160 When you're fighting at that point, you're fighting some neighborhood kid.

00:37:08.420 You're not really fighting because you don't like him.

00:37:11.180 Right, right.

00:37:12.540 It's kind of, you're fighting for...

00:37:15.980 You gotta test it out.

00:37:17.120 Is it sport?

00:37:17.980 Is it you're trying to, like, you're kind of putting on a show for the people around

00:37:23.900 you?

00:37:24.060 What are you fighting for at that instance, you know?

00:37:26.820 Because he's talking shit.

00:37:28.260 Yeah.

00:37:28.500 And, you know, it's like...

00:37:30.500 Yeah.

00:37:31.480 You know, I didn't hate the kid.

00:37:32.780 Hell, we hung out.

00:37:33.640 The rest of our growing up, he lived right down the street.

00:37:36.340 I mean, we didn't hang out, but I'd see him.

00:37:37.980 I didn't hate the dude.

00:37:38.680 I'd see him walking his dog down the street.

00:37:40.200 I'd wave at him.

00:37:40.900 Yeah.

00:37:41.020 You know, I didn't hate the guy, but you're just kind of testing it out.

00:37:43.720 Just kind of...

00:37:45.020 Hell, I think it's built into you.

00:37:46.360 I mean, you gotta think, man.

00:37:48.060 We used to really have to survive.

00:37:50.860 You know?

00:37:51.240 Like, we're so pussified now.

00:37:53.440 You know?

00:37:53.780 Oh, yeah.

00:37:54.460 But that shit is in you, dude.

00:37:55.540 Like, the feeling I get after a fight, especially after this last one, man, I just can't even...

00:38:01.900 It's one of the best...

00:38:04.380 It's just overwhelming, man.

00:38:06.140 That's some tribal shit that's...

00:38:08.460 You know, like...

00:38:09.060 Back in the day, we had tribes, man.

00:38:11.960 Yeah.

00:38:12.120 Me, you, Nick, Eddie Bravo, all four of us, dude.

00:38:15.800 You know?

00:38:16.160 We're out fighting wolves and bears and shit.

00:38:18.360 You know what I'm saying?

00:38:18.840 Yeah, fighting our neighbors, fighting for, like, perimeter where our land is.

00:38:21.580 Yeah.

00:38:21.700 Kind of where their land is.

00:38:22.660 This shit's built into you, man.

00:38:23.420 Who gets food, who don't get food.

00:38:25.160 Yeah.

00:38:25.640 Yeah.

00:38:26.040 This shit's built into you, man.

00:38:27.300 Just, like, fucking and eating food and, you know, the ability to fight, if you have

00:38:33.280 to, I think it just appears wired into you.

00:38:37.420 Yeah.

00:38:37.680 No, it makes sense.

00:38:38.380 And it makes sense that it would, in some people, it would have a stronger reach, you

00:38:43.320 know, like, if, like, the hands of time were coming down, like, you know, the ability

00:38:47.800 and the desire to fight might go longer in one lineage, you know, and then in one person

00:38:53.100 than it might in another person, you know?

00:38:55.380 So, do you start to think about opponents that you would like to fight, or do you start

00:39:02.360 to, do you start to kind of put that in your head yet, or are you just kind of taking what

00:39:07.220 they're, not taking what they're giving, but you just, like, are you being proactive in

00:39:12.120 that sense, or are you kind of, are you kind of just like, you know, just, like, are you

00:39:19.200 starting to say, I want to fight this guy, or when do you do that, you know?

00:39:22.420 Well, I mean, that's just, everybody has their own, you know, for me, I'm just going to take

00:39:29.700 whatever they give me.

00:39:30.620 I have called out Floyd Mayweather, because I think that's just the easiest money that

00:39:35.000 I'll ever make in my damn life.

00:39:36.900 You know, and I even, I even offered to box him, and the only real reason that I did that

00:39:41.300 is because he was talking shit about MMA fighters in general.

00:39:44.700 I seen his interview, he was talking shit about MMA fighters.

00:39:47.320 And I'd really just like to, you know, teach him some damn respect, you know, just piss

00:39:53.100 me off, you know?

00:39:54.180 Yeah.

00:39:54.320 If me and, me and Floyd are in a cell, you know, he's getting fucked.

00:39:58.660 Yeah.

00:39:58.940 You know, he's getting fucked, and, and when I wake up, there'd be some grits and eggs.

00:40:03.000 He's my bitch.

00:40:03.680 Amen, bro.

00:40:04.240 You know what I'm saying?

00:40:05.040 I love that.

00:40:05.620 You know, I ain't scared of Floyd Mayweather.

00:40:07.360 Yeah.

00:40:07.500 He couldn't do shit to me.

00:40:08.600 If me and him was in an elevator or in a prison cell, whatever, he's my bitch, you know?

00:40:12.640 And so I just, it made me mad to see him, that's the only person I've ever called out

00:40:16.660 is Floyd Mayweather.

00:40:18.200 And like I said, I'll box him, because I've seen him talking shit about all MMA fighters.

00:40:22.320 He was like, MMA is not even a skill, blah, blah, blah.

00:40:26.000 He's saying the boxing skill, but MMA is not.

00:40:28.480 He said MMA is for beer drinkers who, it's like, dude, you know.

00:40:32.200 And what did he fight?

00:40:32.900 Conor, right?

00:40:33.700 Mm-hmm.

00:40:34.120 Yeah.

00:40:34.760 Conor whooped that ass for the first five rounds, four or five rounds.

00:40:38.640 You think you could do better than Conor did against him?

00:40:40.840 Yeah, I think I'd fight him dirty.

00:40:42.100 I mean, he wouldn't, he, there's no way he's, I think I'd beat him.

00:40:45.660 I mean, I can tell you.

00:40:47.400 Really?

00:40:47.880 I can tell you right now, dude.

00:40:49.040 I can tell you right now.

00:40:49.860 I just kind of remembered who he was, dude.

00:40:51.020 He's fucking fast as fuck, dude.

00:40:52.240 He's fast as shit.

00:40:53.020 He's fast as shit, yeah.

00:40:53.460 Oh, dude, damn.

00:40:53.900 Yeah, you know, and, but there's just not, you know.

00:40:57.660 I don't know, man.

00:40:58.780 He's so fast.

00:40:59.980 And that, that's what intrigues me about it.

00:41:01.760 I really want to fight, because nobody thinks I can beat him, but I don't care what nobody

00:41:05.640 thinks, you know?

00:41:06.220 You ever heard of Sun Tzu?

00:41:08.680 Sun Tzu?

00:41:09.920 Art of War.

00:41:10.720 Art of War.

00:41:11.240 Oh, yeah.

00:41:12.100 Let your plans be dark as night, you know?

00:41:14.920 So, I couldn't tell you what I'd do to him, but I promise you, dude, it wouldn't be like

00:41:18.900 anybody, he's fucking boxed.

00:41:20.500 It'd be the dark arts, something.

00:41:21.540 Dude, it'd be some, I'd put some dark arts, voodoo, fucking black magic on that motherfucker.

00:41:26.720 I'm telling you right now, I would not fight him conventional.

00:41:28.960 I love that.

00:41:29.200 Because that's, that's what people think.

00:41:30.640 Oh, I'm going to go in there and box him.

00:41:31.840 No.

00:41:32.480 I'll show you how to fight Floyd Mayweather, you know?

00:41:34.860 Well, we used to, I remember they used to tie two, they'd have, these older kids would tie a rope

00:41:39.480 around each two kids and both y'all run in opposite directions, you know?

00:41:43.420 And just go as fast as you could and somebody fucking.

00:41:46.380 Hell yeah.

00:41:47.000 You know, next thing you know, somebody's got a fucking limp their whole life or something.

00:41:50.100 You know, or somebody's just fucking got a built-in dance move every time they take a step after that.

00:41:54.460 Yeah.

00:41:54.760 That shit'll, it'll fucking move your joists around, you know?

00:41:58.540 It's a little tricky, man.

00:42:00.380 That reminds me of, I've done this one thing, maybe one of the crazier things I've done,

00:42:05.220 horse wrestling.

00:42:06.620 You get, you get two horses, one face that way and one face the other way.

00:42:09.620 You lock arms and you just try to pull that sumbitch off the horse.

00:42:13.000 Oh, really?

00:42:13.620 Yeah.

00:42:14.140 And you're on there like jousters?

00:42:15.600 Yeah, you're on there, but you lock arms.

00:42:17.520 You lock arms with them.

00:42:18.500 You just try, somebody's falling off the horse, if not both of you.

00:42:21.660 Damn.

00:42:22.020 Damn, and what are you doing with the other arm?

00:42:23.920 Are you kind of holding on to the horse?

00:42:25.260 You could pimp smack them if you want, you know what you're saying?

00:42:28.600 Oh, shit, getting sexual up here now, man.

00:42:34.220 It's cold outside and it's dark, ooh, and it's only 4 p.m., man.

00:45:58.600 This is the craziest thing that I do is come out here and get on this podcast.

00:46:03.800 Well, I appreciate it, man.

00:46:04.940 Yeah, I appreciate you having me.

00:46:06.240 It's awesome.

00:46:06.640 I've heard nothing but good about you.

00:46:08.660 So it's an honor to be here.

00:46:10.340 Well, thanks for coming, man.

00:46:11.320 Yeah, I feel like a lot of times they, yeah, like especially Hollywood and stuff looks down

00:46:15.060 upon people from like the places that we're from a lot of times.

00:46:18.360 Do you guys feel that?

00:46:19.140 Are you from Louisiana?

00:46:20.220 I knew it.

00:46:21.000 Just kind of rural Louisiana.

00:46:22.360 Not really like a fancy place, just kind of a regular place, you know?

00:46:26.640 You know, the kind of place where, I don't know, dude.

00:46:30.480 The kind of place where I knew when you guys were walking down that street to go fight

00:46:33.680 that at that point, both people had taken their shirts off.

00:46:36.260 Yeah.

00:46:36.740 You know?

00:46:37.080 Yeah.

00:46:38.040 Like that's just the shit.

00:46:38.920 I just knew it, dude.

00:46:39.820 It's already.

00:46:40.580 Yeah.

00:46:40.860 Like it just, there was no doubt about it, man.

00:46:43.900 The kind of place where you, everybody's tattoos, they're always, they did the first couple

00:46:47.520 their self or their buddy did.

00:46:48.800 I mean, it's real shitty.

00:46:49.660 And it's usually a cross.

00:46:50.960 Mm-hmm.

00:46:51.460 You know what I'm talking about?

00:46:53.040 My girlfriend, she's a tattoo artist.

00:46:55.060 Yeah?

00:46:55.940 Yep.

00:46:56.300 She's really good, too.

00:46:57.940 She has her own little shop and everything.

00:47:00.560 Where's it?

00:47:00.960 Where's her, where's she do it at?

00:47:02.700 It's in Searcy.

00:47:03.740 Yeah.

00:47:04.520 What's it called?

00:47:05.680 American Dream Tattoos.

00:47:07.160 Word.

00:47:07.740 She gives good, and have you, have she given you any?

00:47:10.020 Nope.

00:47:10.540 She's going to give me my first ones, though, but don't tell my mama that.

00:47:14.960 My mama don't know, don't hurt mama.

00:47:17.040 Really?

00:47:17.560 There you go.

00:47:18.180 So, you're going to have to get them somewhere that's hideable, huh?

00:47:20.560 Yeah.

00:47:21.000 Yeah.

00:47:21.200 I mean, she's going to find out eventually, but maybe I can buy some time.

00:47:24.900 I like that, man.

00:47:26.460 Yeah.

00:47:27.060 It's summertime, bro.

00:47:28.160 You're going to be, why does Bryce have his shirt on at the pool?

00:47:30.980 Yeah.

00:47:31.820 Because he has a fucking dragon on his back.

00:47:34.420 That's why.

00:47:36.220 Because he has a fucking fox pit bull on his back.

00:47:38.900 Hell, yeah.

00:47:39.240 An eagle knocking off a goat.

00:47:40.820 That's what I'm talking about, brother.

00:47:41.900 An eagle and a goat.

00:47:45.140 Your family, is your mom pretty proud of you?

00:47:47.140 What's going on with that?

00:47:48.620 She is, but she also, she thinks MMA is like the devil.

00:47:52.340 You know what I mean?

00:47:52.960 She really, she don't, she actually calls it M-A-A.

00:47:56.280 Yeah.

00:47:56.440 She don't really know M-M-A.

00:47:58.520 Yeah.

00:47:58.680 She pronounces it wrong.

00:48:00.460 Yeah, I like that.

00:48:00.960 You know, she thinks I do karate and shit like that.

00:48:04.980 Because, you know, you got those jujitsu outfits, you know, the geese.

00:48:08.480 Yeah.

00:48:08.760 She says, I washed her karate outfit.

00:48:10.780 And I'm like, thank you.

00:48:13.320 No, I'm going to argue with her.

00:48:15.020 Has it been something, like, do your parents know that you, that's something you do real

00:48:18.600 heavily?

00:48:18.900 Is it something that you kind of have kept on the side from them a little bit?

00:48:22.180 Or no, this is like a regular part of your life.

00:48:24.500 They know you like to go and train and do all that.

00:48:26.600 Oh, she, she knows.

00:48:27.760 Okay.

00:48:27.920 You know, I tell her about all my training.

00:48:29.680 And, I mean, she fully supports me.

00:48:32.580 And, you know, she don't want me to do M-M-A in general.

00:48:36.320 But, I mean, she, for somebody who doesn't want me to do it at all, she supports me as

00:48:40.640 much as, you know, you possibly could.

00:48:42.780 I mean, she don't watch any of the fights.

00:48:46.400 She tried watching my first fight.

00:48:48.140 She tried watching a replay of it.

00:48:50.820 That was my, my first M-M-A fight was my bloodiest fight at all.

00:48:54.640 So, it looked the worst.

00:48:55.720 The dude broke his, I broke his nose.

00:48:57.600 And, it was all turned sideways.

00:48:59.400 And, I mean, we were slipping and sliding in blood.

00:49:02.940 Well, they called the fight just because of blood.

00:49:05.380 I mean, that dude was tough as shit.

00:49:06.620 He wasn't quitting.

00:49:07.440 And, I didn't put him down.

00:49:08.540 Like, I had him in mount, you know.

00:49:10.280 But, he was sitting there taking hits.

00:49:11.660 And, he didn't give a shit.

00:49:12.700 I mean, he was tough.

00:49:13.900 He was really tough.

00:49:15.160 And, the fight wasn't done.

00:49:16.180 But, they just stopped it because of blood.

00:49:17.920 There's just blood everywhere.

00:49:18.860 And, so, she's seen that.

00:49:20.080 And, she started pretty much crying.

00:49:22.240 She's like, ah.

00:49:23.560 She lost it.

00:49:24.140 I can't believe it.

00:49:25.360 You know.

00:49:25.740 And, she's like, I don't ever want to see this shit again ever.

00:49:28.380 Don't ever show me one of these, you know.

00:49:30.320 Oh, wow.

00:49:31.260 Damn.

00:49:31.960 Yeah.

00:49:32.480 And, does she have other children that do?

00:49:34.600 Do you have siblings that do it, too?

00:49:35.960 I got a sister.

00:49:36.980 But, she don't do any roughhousing or anything like that.

00:49:40.200 She doesn't?

00:49:40.700 No.

00:49:41.120 And, were you allowed to wrestle her when you were young or not?

00:49:43.100 She swooped my ass.

00:49:44.180 Did she?

00:49:44.880 Definitely.

00:49:45.720 That's a fact.

00:49:47.420 Yeah.

00:49:49.480 Is she tougher than you or no?

00:49:51.120 I don't know if she is anymore.

00:49:52.380 I think she used to be.

00:49:53.480 But, I think she's got soft now.

00:49:55.060 Oh, yeah.

00:49:55.700 It happens.

00:49:56.400 She should move out here, then, man.

00:49:57.580 Yeah.

00:49:58.140 We would happily welcome her.

00:49:59.760 I know that we have a lot of fans that send in questions for you, man.

00:50:02.900 So, I want to get to some of those.

00:50:04.100 And, Nick may have a.

00:50:05.400 I do.

00:50:06.140 So, we tried to get you in the week right after your fight.

00:50:10.560 But, you had finals in college, which I thought was hilarious.

00:50:14.260 You're doing full-time fighting.

00:50:15.040 And, still in school.

00:50:15.880 What are you studying?

00:50:18.240 I'm studying economics.

00:50:19.980 That's my major.

00:50:20.920 Word.

00:50:21.220 I was an economics major.

00:50:22.500 You like Ron Paul?

00:50:24.660 He's all right.

00:50:25.260 I'm a big Adam Smith and Hayek.

00:50:29.000 Frederick Hayek.

00:50:29.900 If you like Hayek, you like Ron Paul.

00:50:31.480 Yeah, yeah.

00:50:32.340 Where?

00:50:32.660 If you like.

00:50:33.880 There might be give or take a few things.

00:50:35.860 Yeah, yeah.

00:50:36.540 Hayek, Ron Paul, they're on the same bus.

00:50:38.660 Same page.

00:50:39.360 Same page, yeah.

00:50:40.920 Hell, yeah.

00:50:41.720 Here's a question we got from.

00:50:45.120 Yo, Theo and Bryce.

00:50:46.700 What's good?

00:50:47.880 This is Max here.

00:50:49.180 I'm wondering, what is the dumbest reason you have ever gotten into a fight?

00:50:54.160 I once fought a kid because I thought he cut me in the lunch line, but he didn't.

00:50:58.080 I'm wondering if you can compete with that.

00:51:00.100 He cut you in the lunch line, but he didn't.

00:51:02.140 You think you'd have evidence if he did or didn't, man.

00:51:06.500 Thank you for your question, Max.

00:51:08.020 That's a good question.

00:51:10.680 Will you go first, Bryce?

00:51:11.840 You're the guest, man.

00:51:14.480 Shit, man.

00:51:15.700 I'd have to say, I'd have to say, I mean, there's a couple options, but I'd have to say, definitely

00:51:22.840 the time this kid called me a faggot, and it wasn't because, usually, you know, calls

00:51:27.140 you a faggot, that's fighting words right there.

00:51:28.920 But I didn't want to get, I already knew I was going to get in trouble at school, my

00:51:32.220 mom wasn't happy with me at school, and so I already knew if I fought him right there,

00:51:37.060 I was going to get kicked out of school, and my mom was going to be pissed, so I told

00:51:40.960 him, I said, man, I'm going to see you later.

00:51:43.180 Yeah.

00:51:43.380 I'll see you.

00:51:44.020 Yeah.

00:51:44.300 I seen him five years later, and I kicked his ass.

00:51:47.540 Five years.

00:51:48.040 I came up to him, I said, get up, we're fighting.

00:51:50.040 He said, what are we doing?

00:51:51.160 Why are you mad at me?

00:51:52.600 You know, I said, get up, we're fighting.

00:51:54.160 Yeah.

00:51:54.340 I said, get up.

00:51:55.460 I said, get up, and he got up, and we fought.

00:51:57.300 Damn, he said, I remember that.

00:51:58.660 Five years.

00:52:00.320 Damn, bro.

00:52:01.040 Five years.

00:52:01.560 I'll wait on him, motherfucker.

00:52:03.080 Yeah, why does faggot get, especially, I remember growing up, yeah, if somebody called

00:52:06.640 you a faggot, that would just make you so mad, you know?

00:52:09.520 Yeah.

00:52:10.840 I guess, it's just like calling somebody a bitch.

00:52:12.920 It's just like calling somebody, it doesn't even matter what it is, it's just the thought

00:52:16.100 behind the word.

00:52:17.160 It's like that you're not as good as me, or you're a piece of shit, or whatever.

00:52:21.700 You're weak.

00:52:22.260 Yeah.

00:52:22.580 I've hit dudes for calling me a bitch.

00:52:24.360 Yeah.

00:52:24.860 Faggot, bitch, pussy, whatever.

00:52:26.180 It's just, they're saying something to you, they're acting like they're, you know, going

00:52:30.240 to fuck you up.

00:52:30.900 It just pisses you off, you know?

00:52:32.940 Damn, bro.

00:52:34.780 Do you notice a thing inside of yourself when you go from being, like, pissed to not, like,

00:52:39.400 not pissed to piss?

00:52:40.340 Like, do you know, is there like a...

00:52:42.180 Definitely, because I get the feeling of wanting to hurt them, and I visualize wanting to hurt

00:52:49.540 them, and I really, and it sounds fucked up, but it's just the truth, man.

00:52:53.480 It's like, I'm not a...

00:52:54.560 Well, you're a fighter, it'd be fucked up if you were a stenographer, and you told me that,

00:52:59.040 you know?

00:52:59.380 It'd be fucked up if you were, like, the lady working a 7-Eleven, and you told me that.

00:53:03.580 But you're a fighter, it's in you.

00:53:05.820 But every fight, though, there's, I fought people that I like, you know, and I don't

00:53:10.060 really visualize hurting them as much, but as soon as somebody says, fuck you, or you're

00:53:16.640 a bitch, or I'm gonna knock you, like, this last dude, he was like, fuck you, I'm gonna

00:53:20.840 knock your ass out.

00:53:21.920 As soon as I hear that, it's just like, I want to hurt them.

00:53:25.780 I get angry, and I don't even, it's almost like I feel reckless.

00:53:29.920 Like, I don't care if you fuck me up, too, I just wanna fuck you up at this point.

00:53:33.740 Like, I get extremely, like, I wanna get my hands on them.

00:53:38.020 I wanna, like, just right then and right there, I just kinda feel that, the feeling, the wanting

00:53:43.660 to hurt them, and I don't feel that about people until I'm pissed off, and, like, you

00:53:48.500 know, I actually don't wanna hurt nobody, but if they piss me off, then I do get that

00:53:53.560 feeling.

00:53:54.060 Then it changes.

00:53:54.880 It changes, yeah, I definitely can feel that change, and when somebody pisses me off, I

00:53:58.660 do wanna hurt them, for sure.

00:53:59.900 I'm trying to think, man, when I was growing up, I know, I, I couldn't fight, man, I was

00:54:05.080 like, I was just not, like, I could, but I just wouldn't win.

00:54:09.380 So, it was at a certain point, it's fucking, you don't wanna do it anymore, bro, you know?

00:54:15.200 Yeah.

00:54:15.700 Hey, you gotta take ass whoopings to give them.

00:54:17.800 Oh, I took, yeah, I definitely, well, look, dude, then I owe some to some people, bro,

00:54:21.360 because I fucking definitely took on this, one kid hit me, man, this dude fucking, man,

00:54:27.340 he created a leap year in my brain, bro, this dude fucking knocked, I think he knocked half

00:54:31.600 a, you know, a day out of me, man, this dude hit me pretty hard, but, um, I'm trying to

00:54:36.240 think, when I, actually, you know what happened when I was, there was a kid at school, at school

00:54:41.240 when I was in middle school, if you got in a fight with somebody, um, they made you hug,

00:54:47.720 they made you stand in the hallway at school and put your arms on each other's shoulders

00:54:51.060 like this.

00:54:51.440 That's a bad idea.

00:54:52.480 So, but, but then by the, and you had to do it all day the rest of the day.

00:54:55.880 That's a bad idea.

00:54:56.460 And by the end of the day, you were friends because you guys had been right there, like

00:54:59.580 you talked it out or whatever, you know?

00:55:01.940 But yeah, this one kid, man, he, um, yeah, he was just a big dude.

00:55:06.860 Oh, and we're standing there, and I'm, like, scared, but I'm trying not to be scared, you

00:55:10.140 know, that was, like, one of my big moves.

00:55:12.100 So, I'm standing there, and he was the toughest dude, man, this kid, Brad Castleman,

00:55:17.580 and he's a great guy, and, and we're friends now, but, uh, somebody next to me took my

00:55:22.660 arm and pushed it into him, right?

00:55:25.180 Oh, shit.

00:55:25.740 So, I didn't even get to throw a punch, dude.

00:55:27.840 You know, they just, it's like somebody standing there watching took my arm and fucking pushed

00:55:31.580 it right into him, and I guess that counts.

00:55:34.600 So, we fucking, next thing you know, man, we were throwing, uh, we were throwing hands,

00:55:39.940 and I think I got in one decent shot, and I still remember making me feel like a fucking

00:55:44.380 man, bro.

00:55:44.720 Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

00:55:45.580 You gotta get that one hit in, man.

00:55:47.400 And it's funny, because I remember getting the one hit more than I remember the, probably

00:55:51.340 four or five hits that I took, you know?

00:55:52.460 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:55:53.880 And it just, you're right, it gave me, it did give me some sense of, like, oh, man, I

00:55:58.320 can't even, I could feel the joy that I had in my fist and in my heart a little more than

00:56:04.400 I could feel the pain that I had on my face.

00:56:06.900 Definitely, definitely.

00:56:07.860 Which is kind of interesting.

00:56:08.740 Which I never really thought about it, till just now.

00:56:12.020 Um, but yeah, there's something that's, yeah, like, I had just been through it, you know?

00:56:17.620 Like, Dustin Poirier always talks about, like, you know, you go through, you go through these

00:56:22.380 fights, and, you know, win or lose, you are, there's something different about you after,

00:56:27.880 you know?

00:56:28.660 There's, like, you're, like, battle-tested.

00:56:30.720 Hell, after that fight, uh, after my last fight, I got an adrenaline burst after the

00:56:36.660 fight.

00:56:37.420 Like, during the fight, like, I just was, just completely calm on, uh, you know, leading

00:56:43.740 up to the fight, everything, but afterwards, dude, it was just, like, adrenaline went through

00:56:48.520 the roof after the fight, like, because I guess I knew the fight was done, and then my

00:56:52.780 adrenaline went, like, crazy.

00:56:54.200 What'd y'all do to celebrate after?

00:56:55.460 There, I ate some cheeseburgers, and really, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't go crazy,

00:57:02.300 I don't party or nothing like that, uh, so I just ate some cheeseburgers, kicked it with

00:57:06.500 some buddies, and then just went to sleep, got about three hours of sleep, so.

00:57:11.060 Um, and did you, because your last fight, it was in Washington, D.C., right?

00:57:14.540 Mm-hmm.

00:57:14.980 Was it the first time you'd ever been up there?

00:57:16.480 Yep, yep.

00:57:17.220 Did you get to do any, uh, tourist stuff up there?

00:57:19.400 No, when I'm, uh, going up there for the fight, I usually don't walk around, hardly any,

00:57:24.940 just because it takes strength from your legs, like, if you want to walk to the Capitol,

00:57:29.100 you're probably walking three, four miles by the time it's all said and done, I mean,

00:57:32.980 that could, that could, because you're already gonna be fatigued from cutting your weight,

00:57:37.700 I mean, you could argue that it, that it helps you lose your weight walking around, but I don't

00:57:43.140 want to lose my weight till an hour to two hours before the weigh-ins, I don't want to lose

00:57:47.560 it three days before, you know, so.

00:57:49.320 So, when I get to the fight, I just chill at the hotel, I really don't do shit, I'll,

00:57:53.260 I'll walk to a, a restaurant that's close, and that's it, just because I don't want to

00:57:57.980 fatigue my legs by walking around, because that little bit of, of walking could really,

00:58:03.120 it could give you soreness, you don't move back when you're supposed to, your feet's

00:58:07.760 what keep you safe.

00:58:08.520 For me, my feet is what keeps me safe, my ability to move my feet, so if my legs was

00:58:13.340 one ounce too tired, and there was a big punch coming, and I'm thinking, ah, I could just

00:58:17.540 block this instead of move, I need to be thinking, move my feet, move my feet the whole

00:58:21.320 fight, so I want them as fresh as they, I'll take ice baths and stuff like that, the week

00:58:25.860 of the fight, I take a lot of ice baths, just to try to keep my, my legs, uh, fresh, that's

00:58:31.460 what keeps me safe from, from getting hit, is my feet.

00:58:34.160 Yeah, so it's feet first, really, for you.

00:58:35.740 Yeah, I like to, uh, yeah, yeah, I like to just, and I guess it's because I played basketball

00:58:40.840 for all them years, that's the only thing I could think of, I got a boxing coach, he

00:58:46.220 says, no, it ain't from basketball, he said, you just giving that by God, you know, but

00:58:49.980 I don't know what it is, but I've got good feet, and, and, uh, and actually, when you

00:58:54.520 first start fighting, man, it takes you a long time to find out what you are specifically

00:58:59.580 good at, like, you know, um, you know what, that's funny, man, I can relate to that with

00:59:04.660 comedy, like, just years of not, like, thinking, oh, maybe I'm this type of guy, you know, maybe

00:59:10.860 I'm the, you know, the angry guy, or maybe I'm the, you know, the, uh, you know, the guy

00:59:16.420 that does, like, a backflip at the end of his set or something, and you're like, fuck,

00:59:19.860 I ain't that guy, I ain't that guy, maybe I'm the fat black guy, and you're like, nope,

00:59:25.240 I ain't that guy, like, yeah, fighting is the same way, man, yeah, I could see that

00:59:28.980 a little bit, you're, yeah, you're kind of figuring out who you are, yeah, figuring

00:59:31.900 out what, what your strong suits are, yeah, yeah, and, I mean, I'm confident now, dude,

00:59:36.940 you know, so much more confident than when I started, and, uh, you know, I just visualized

00:59:42.260 myself winning every fight, you know, I visualized winning, winning, winning, and I know how I

00:59:46.660 can do it, I know my God-given abilities and talents, and, uh, I think I can beat anybody,

00:59:51.360 dude, you know, and.

00:59:53.100 Did you always feel that way, or is this, because I just, I love how confidence grows in someone,

00:59:57.480 you know, I think it's, you know, there are times where I used to go on a stage for a

01:00:00.980 big show, and I would be scared of the stage, I'm thinking about where the audience is, I'm

01:00:05.360 thinking about how I'm gonna look when I walk out there, I'm thinking about a lot of different

01:00:08.560 things, and then over time, like, you know, now I have a bigger environment show, and I

01:00:14.940 don't even think about any of that, I just think about, well, you know, time to go to work,

01:00:19.940 you know, but it's interesting how slowly a confidence built after different, you know, uh, over

01:00:26.560 time.

01:00:26.900 Yeah, yeah, same, same with me, man, and, uh, same thing, we're like full-grown bucks

01:00:31.640 now, you know, we're, we're out there roaming, uh, yeah, I, I just, I'm extremely confident,

01:00:37.900 you know what I mean, and, uh, I don't want to come off as cocky, because, you know, I'm

01:00:42.200 not saying bet the farm I'm gonna win every fight.

01:00:44.240 Yeah, but you could bet a couple fucking, you could bet a couple thousand, you could bet

01:00:49.380 a couple of them fucking mountain goats on your boy, you know?

01:00:52.180 Hey, my coach, he won 2,700.

01:00:54.320 Did he?

01:00:54.840 Yeah.

01:00:55.160 He bet on you?

01:00:55.660 He probably put down at least 500 to 1,000.

01:00:59.500 Wow.

01:01:00.080 I mean, we were extremely, and the fight went exactly how my coach said, he said, cook him

01:01:05.440 to the bone, you know, went in there, cooked him to the bone, he said, he told me before

01:01:09.280 the fight, he was like, uh, I really don't see you getting hit, and he, because he knows

01:01:14.160 I don't give a shit, I'll get hit, you know, I don't give a shit, that's not gonna deter

01:01:17.620 me, when I, I'll go in there and fucking die if I have to, because it's, you know, he said,

01:01:22.300 man, I just don't think he's gonna hit you this fight, I really don't, I think his style,

01:01:26.560 this dude, he swings heavy and hard, but you move, and just like he said, he swung hard,

01:01:32.520 but they're slow, so I've seen it, I move my feet, I think there's people that would

01:01:36.940 hit me more, you know?

01:01:38.140 Were you surprised at the speed of the punches, were you surprised at it a little bit, like,

01:01:43.820 do you ever know, like, is it sometimes you're like, you're expecting, you don't know

01:01:46.840 what it's gonna be, like, and you're like, oh, that's it, I can deal with that, that must

01:01:49.960 create a lot of confidence in you when you're out there.

01:01:51.860 Well, when the fight first started, uh, I remember putting him on the cage, I remember

01:01:57.920 backing up, and this dude, you know, he's a striker, so right when he put his back to

01:02:01.820 the cage, I thought already, well, he's a little bit more timid than me, you know, doesn't

01:02:06.580 mean he can't knock you out with his back to the cage, but I got him kind of where I want

01:02:10.100 him, you know, so right off the bat, I'm thinking, okay, you know, he's, I got him

01:02:13.940 backed up, and then I remember, uh, he, he faked, and I bid on his fake, just because

01:02:19.660 I come out there playing it safe right off the bat, I don't want to get knocked out right

01:02:22.920 off the bat, you know, I want to, uh, so he, he faked, I pulled my feet back, and so if

01:02:29.940 he was good at reading, at that point, he knows, uh, when I go to throw the second time, he's

01:02:35.120 going to pull back again, so I just kind of, like, backstepped, you know, just out of range,

01:02:39.120 so, and I think he did, I think he made that read, he said, okay, so he, he now measures

01:02:44.160 his counterattack, and when he threw the second, because the first time he didn't throw, he

01:02:48.540 faked, and I moved, like, a foot back, well, now he knows, okay, he's going to move about

01:02:52.300 a foot back, so the second time, he really does throw, and he steps forward, so he progresses,

01:02:56.800 progresses, oh, I see what you're saying, he knows where you're going to end up, yeah,

01:03:00.020 and so he, he knew right off this, uh, because you can see I bid on one of his fakes, uh, I

01:03:05.120 backed up right when he, uh, or he, he's going to fake something here, and that's a sidekick,

01:03:11.500 that's that range, I think he fakes a right hand, maybe, but that, that one I get under,

01:03:18.880 you see that right hand, um, I, I didn't see what that was in the fight, had no fucking

01:03:24.380 clue, I just knew he threw something, I didn't know if it was a right or a left, but that's

01:03:28.120 just a testament to, uh, my training, and, yeah, and I have a, uh, a boxing coach who does a

01:03:33.580 lot of, a lot of mitt work with me, and that's a testament to him, but, uh, yeah, I mean,

01:03:38.540 I didn't even see the punch, you know, I just ducked.

01:03:40.520 Is it scary to start to realize that, uh, that you're getting good at something that

01:03:44.680 you really love?

01:03:46.260 I mean.

01:03:47.380 Does that make any sense to you?

01:03:50.000 I, I kind of, I like it, I, it makes sense to me, I know what you're saying, but I, I

01:03:55.700 enjoy it, I, I like it, and it's, it's really fucked up, because you could really go in there

01:04:01.440 and die, and it could be terrible, you could go get brain retarded, but I'm already halfway

01:04:05.740 there, so there ain't much to lose, you know, so it's, you know what I'm saying, it's, so,

01:04:10.820 but, but all in all, it could be terrible, you know, but I have just learned to just enjoy

01:04:16.120 it, you know, and it's, and I don't know if I should, you know, it's kind of fucked up

01:04:20.300 in the head that I enjoy it, but I, I do, I, I enjoy it.

01:04:24.420 What's a limited class of people that do?

01:04:26.140 I mean, it's, it's a, such a small amount, I mean, it's smaller than, I mean, it's just

01:04:31.680 such a small number of people that try it, and then like it, you know, I don't even know

01:04:39.380 what you would compare it to, we got a question right here from some guy who looks semi-nude

01:04:42.560 right here.

01:04:43.480 I, I, I also gotta say, I won 200 on the under.

01:04:48.000 Yes.

01:04:48.500 I've actually seen Matt Sales weirdly fight before he was in the UFC, like, in person

01:04:52.380 three times, it just randomly happened, so I didn't want to bet against him.

01:04:55.600 I liked you both, but I took the under and cashed out.

01:04:58.620 Well, he's a good striker, man.

01:05:00.260 Yeah.

01:05:00.720 Did you meet him when you went down to Alliance?

01:05:02.620 Because he's at, he's with Dominic Cruz, right?

01:05:05.120 He, he definitely is, and I don't know if I did or not.

01:05:08.520 It was so many years ago when I've been hit so many times, I really can't remember.

01:05:12.980 But I'm sure he was there at the very least, you know, but he's a good striker.

01:05:17.220 I didn't, you know, I, I would have engaged him on a feet, but I wanted, I knew he didn't

01:05:21.400 want to be on the ground, so that's where I want to go.

01:05:22.900 Mm-hmm.

01:05:23.760 Here we go.

01:05:25.600 I got a question for Bryce Mitchell.

01:05:30.560 If you could apply your scrotum mangulation to any other fighter on the UFC roster, would

01:05:38.780 it be gang gang, fuck a buzz buzz, gang?

01:05:43.440 And I think he's talking about that drill under the nuts, man.

01:05:48.020 Yeah.

01:05:48.100 That's your next finishing move, isn't it?

01:05:49.560 So if I, hey, that shit'll finish somebody, I promise you.

01:05:52.620 And you, and you put, how big was that bit you put in your bag?

01:05:56.200 Probably about six inches long.

01:05:58.040 Yeah.

01:05:58.960 You want to get people up to speed?

01:06:00.900 Yeah.

01:06:01.220 Yeah, sorry, for people that aren't up to speed, you tell them, Bryce.

01:06:04.220 Well, I was building a roof over my camper, a metal roof with a wood frame.

01:06:08.980 Oh, yeah.

01:06:09.420 It's like a story out of the Bible.

01:06:11.680 Pretty much.

01:06:12.820 I mean, definitely a deleted chapter.

01:06:15.180 And so I'm up there building that wood frame.

01:06:19.520 I got my drill in my hands and I'm holding up a board to size it up to find out where

01:06:24.900 this board's going to go.

01:06:26.860 And then I, you know, decided I need two hands to hold this board properly to make sure it's

01:06:32.820 level because I'm just eyeballing it.

01:06:34.640 I'm not even using a level.

01:06:35.860 It don't have to be perfect.

01:06:37.140 You know, I'm not building a Sistine Chapel.

01:06:39.000 I'm building a fucking roof over a trailer.

01:06:40.720 So it's, you know, I'm just eyeballing it.

01:06:42.240 I'm looking at it and I put the drill in my pants.

01:06:44.240 And the sumbitch goes off.

01:06:47.220 And man, it was terrible.

01:06:48.960 Let me tell you.

01:06:49.360 And you were on the ladder?

01:06:50.100 I was on the ladder.

01:06:50.900 I was on a ladder 20 foot up in the air.

01:06:53.180 If I'd have fell, I'd have died.

01:06:55.560 And at first I thought it ripped my wiener off.

01:06:59.980 And so, I mean, I really did.

01:07:01.700 I really, I mean, it got.

01:07:03.240 Were you afraid to open your pants up?

01:07:05.280 Yeah.

01:07:05.400 Yeah.

01:07:05.560 I would be too.

01:07:06.320 I was afraid, but then I knew I had to.

01:07:07.960 Like a present from the devil, dude.

01:07:09.480 Yeah.

01:07:09.900 I was thinking, man, if this ripped my wiener off, I'm just going to just die.

01:07:13.680 It's okay.

01:07:14.340 You know, it's whatever.

01:07:15.620 You've lived a good, a good life, you know, but I.

01:07:18.160 You'd have to take your own life, though.

01:07:19.580 They're going to kill you.

01:07:20.880 You'd be like, damn.

01:07:21.900 I might have just sat there and bled out.

01:07:23.720 I might not have took myself to the hospital.

01:07:26.200 There you go, man.

01:07:26.820 But I opened my pants and I remember, I remember seeing my nuts wrapped up and there was blood

01:07:31.380 and semen leaking and there was like, I could see a testicle wrapped up, but I was so happy.

01:07:37.120 I mean, it was just like the life was just right back in me.

01:07:40.160 Because you had a chance to.

01:07:40.860 Because my wiener was there and my wiener was there.

01:07:43.880 Praise God, brother.

01:07:44.680 I was like, thank God.

01:07:46.880 When you see that intact fucking penis, it fucking boosts your spirits.

01:07:49.720 Oh, yeah.

01:07:50.260 Oh, dude.

01:07:50.520 If I take mine out right now and look at it, I'll feel better.

01:07:52.620 That's what I'm saying, man.

01:07:53.780 And so I'm sitting there and I'm just like, okay, well, you know, I'm still in a shitty

01:07:59.440 situation.

01:08:00.360 Because it went through your pants, right?

01:08:02.700 Oh, no.

01:08:02.940 You put it into your pants.

01:08:04.320 I put it into your pants.

01:08:04.380 That's right.

01:08:04.720 Yeah.

01:08:05.040 I didn't have a tool belt.

01:08:06.300 Yeah.

01:08:06.500 I didn't have a tool belt.

01:08:07.620 Mm-hmm.

01:08:08.060 That's where I fucked up.

01:08:09.080 And so then you drove.

01:08:10.180 Yeah, bro.

01:08:10.720 That's such a fucking risky move.

01:08:12.980 It's bad.

01:08:13.780 Bad business, man.

01:08:15.000 I didn't even put the safety on.

01:08:16.500 I didn't even put the safety on.

01:08:18.720 Bro, if somebody even just takes a fuck.

01:08:21.560 Bro, it's like if you sit naked.

01:08:23.780 Somewhere, like in your apartment or house, and you put a fucking pair of scissors, open

01:08:27.580 them up, and then set them by your penis, dude, you will flip the fuck out, bro.

01:08:32.040 And imagine, I'm so stupid, I put a damn live drill in my pants.

01:08:35.440 That's how damn stupid I am.

01:08:36.960 I'm telling you, I've been hit too many times.

01:08:39.420 And so I'm trying to get this drill out, and I tug on it, and it ain't going.

01:08:44.300 Like, it's all entangled up in there.

01:08:46.900 Yeah.

01:08:47.240 And there's a lot in there.

01:08:48.140 People don't realize that.

01:08:49.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:08:49.680 There's fluids and stuff.

01:08:49.760 Can you pull up a picture of that?

01:08:50.900 There's fluids.

01:08:51.600 They got the...

01:08:52.440 They got fluids and stuff.

01:08:53.540 It's like this weird mucus and slime shit comes out your nuts.

01:08:57.520 It was like, yeah.

01:08:58.120 Oh, that's your family, bro.

01:08:59.260 That's supposed to be your family.

01:09:00.120 Yeah.

01:09:00.580 Yeah.

01:09:00.840 Bro, that's your genetics, like rolling out them bags, brother.

01:09:04.320 Yeah.

01:09:04.600 Yeah, look at that nut.

01:09:05.620 That thing is a real artistic fucking little deal.

01:09:08.300 And it actually had my big nut, too.

01:09:10.040 It was my left nut.

01:09:11.080 Oh, the low one?

01:09:11.840 My left nut's way bigger, and it was wrapped up.

01:09:15.760 And so I was like, no, dude, not the big nut.

01:09:18.700 You know what I'm saying?

01:09:19.480 If you got a big one, you should have been in chorus.

01:09:20.880 That's what they used to tell us in school.

01:09:22.820 They used to tell us, look at your nuts.

01:09:24.200 If you got a big one, you're supposed to be in chorus.

01:09:25.800 And see, even in that picture, the left one's sitting lower.

01:09:30.900 You know what I'm saying?

01:09:31.320 That's how mine is.

01:09:32.300 That's how mine is.

01:09:33.440 Well, they can't be the-

01:09:34.140 That might be a picture of mine.

01:09:35.480 It could be a drawing.

01:09:38.820 I don't know, dude.

01:09:39.740 It doesn't have any fucking drills in it.

01:09:42.740 So I don't think it's yours.

01:09:44.320 And so I reverse this drill, right?

01:09:46.080 And I reverse it, put it in reverse, and the testicle unwinds, and I'm just sitting there.

01:09:50.940 I throw the drill down.

01:09:51.760 I got a big old gaping hole in my nuts, and I'm leaking out a lot of blood.

01:09:56.180 Just drove to the hospital.

01:09:57.840 What'd you wrap around them?

01:09:58.640 You wrap anything around them?

01:09:59.360 You just hold it?

01:09:59.960 I just held them.

01:10:00.920 Yeah.

01:10:01.220 I just held them with one hand, and then was driving with the other.

01:10:04.660 And then when I got to the hospital, the nurses was out there talking shit.

01:10:10.880 That's what made me mad.

01:10:11.780 I could hear them.

01:10:12.900 I didn't want to make a scene, because I thought they literally might kick me out of the hospital.

01:10:16.900 I wanted to be like, hey, I can hear you, bitch.

01:10:18.920 You know?

01:10:19.720 But I mean, she was making me-

01:10:20.940 What are they saying?

01:10:21.420 This guy's fucking drilled his nuts together?

01:10:23.180 Yeah, they're like, this guy's an idiot.

01:10:24.480 I mean, they're literally saying that.

01:10:26.780 I can hear like three nurses out there.

01:10:28.460 He did what?

01:10:29.460 Yeah.

01:10:29.760 He drilled his nuts up.

01:10:30.820 What an idiot.

01:10:31.620 He's an idiot.

01:10:32.900 You know, I'm just sitting here.

01:10:34.060 I'm just so mad.

01:10:34.920 I'm just trying to relax, because I already know if I go full, fuck you, you know, they're

01:10:39.680 going to kick me out of the hospital with these split up nuts, and I'm going to have

01:10:43.100 to go to Little Rock with half a nut sewn up, you know?

01:10:47.220 And Lord knows they're probably not going to be able to figure it out over there, bro.

01:10:50.200 That's what I'm saying.

01:10:51.200 That's what I'm saying.

01:10:52.540 You could have been traveling all across the southeast with these fucking-

01:10:55.240 Yeah.

01:10:55.780 With this bad bag, dude.

01:10:57.080 That's what I'm saying, man.

01:10:58.420 And so I had to sit there and take one on a chin, and everything got fixed up, so I'm

01:11:05.760 really lucky.

01:11:06.660 You know, I probably should have died.

01:11:08.500 Dang, man.

01:11:09.320 And have you- do you- you don't have any children of your own, no?

01:11:13.380 No, sir.

01:11:13.980 Yeah.

01:11:14.240 No, hopefully not.

01:11:15.260 Yeah.

01:11:15.420 And do you think about it?

01:11:16.680 It's not what you think about yet.

01:11:18.400 I mean, if- I don't want one.

01:11:20.720 You know, I really don't, but maybe in the future.

01:11:23.840 Maybe.

01:11:24.500 I'm so busy right now, I want to- I'd like to give- devote all my time and, you know what

01:11:31.340 I'm saying, to my child, but right now it's like I'd have to put all my career- like I

01:11:35.080 couldn't go to LA, or if I did, then I wouldn't be getting to see my kids for three days.

01:11:39.560 You know, I'd be worried about that the whole time, so I really don't want the responsibilities.

01:11:43.900 Yeah.

01:11:44.060 Not everyone is a fighter, but sometimes you want to dress up like a job that you could

01:11:48.700 have, or you might have the job.

01:11:51.760 I'm talking about nursing, doctoring, dentisting, or people that work in medicine and healthcare.

01:11:58.780 And there's a company called Figs.

01:12:01.600 It's an amazing company.

01:12:03.880 It's making scrubs stylish and functional for the people who deserve it most.

01:12:09.040 For years, nurses and dentists and doctors were forced to wear scratchy, ill-fitting

01:12:15.480 scrubs, almost burlap.

01:12:18.000 Ooh.

01:12:19.680 But Figs scrubs are infused with antimicrobial properties to control odors.

01:12:27.500 They're ridiculously soft, moisture-wicking, and features four-way stretch.

01:12:32.840 Figs gives back as well.

01:12:36.060 Every time you shop at Figs, they give scrubs to healthcare providers in need around the

01:12:41.760 world through their Threads for Threads initiative.

01:13:08.700 She already knows it.

01:13:09.900 I've said it before.

01:13:11.400 And here's the crazy part.

01:13:13.380 I forgot to ask her what size.

01:13:15.240 So I'm really interested to see if they fit.

01:13:18.320 She is a nurse in Baton Rouge, and I'm very proud of her.

01:13:24.040 That's right, Figs.

01:14:45.240 Did you finish the roof?

01:14:47.720 Hell yeah, brother.

01:14:48.580 That roof is done.

01:14:49.760 Is it?

01:14:50.080 I was going to get the roof done or die trying.

01:14:52.140 Now, is it a roof?

01:14:53.060 One of those ones that's kind of a freestanding roof that's separate from the trailer?

01:14:55.760 That's what my sister has.

01:14:56.760 Yeah.

01:14:56.980 Yeah.

01:14:57.140 Let me show you a picture of it.

01:14:58.260 It's a lean style.

01:14:59.180 And the reason I did that is because I want to put, it's not the A-frame, it's like one

01:15:03.720 high side, one low side.

01:15:05.040 I want to put solar panels on one side of it and I face that side towards the sun.

01:15:08.860 Oh, wow.

01:15:09.980 So, oh shit, my phone's off.

01:15:11.540 I'll turn, I'll show you a picture of it.

01:15:12.960 I'm proud of it.

01:15:14.060 And what animals do you guys have living over there at your house?

01:15:16.400 Do you have any pets of your own?

01:15:17.420 Do you have any pets?

01:15:18.300 Yeah, we got two dogs.

01:15:19.480 Oh, yeah?

01:15:19.860 But we're working, once this, once I get all the farming equipment and everything, I'm going

01:15:24.600 to get chickens first.

01:15:26.180 Yeah.

01:15:26.500 So, I'm going to get cattle and I'm going to get a milk cow.

01:15:29.960 When I get a milk cow, I'm going to get hogs because a milk cow, it can produce five gallons

01:15:34.440 a day.

01:15:35.080 And I mean, we won't even need but two gallons a week.

01:15:37.660 You give three gallons to the hogs?

01:15:39.100 Yeah, every day.

01:15:39.940 Wow.

01:15:40.380 Yeah, and to the pups.

01:15:41.520 Damn.

01:15:42.060 So, when I get a milk cow, now, milk cows are more responsibility than regular cattle.

01:15:47.040 So, I'm going to go-

01:15:48.160 What, do you got to walk them and everything?

01:15:49.460 Well, you got to milk them every day.

01:15:50.840 They dry up.

01:15:51.520 Oh, yeah.

01:15:52.420 Isn't that crazy?

01:15:53.260 If you don't milk them, they dry up.

01:15:55.220 Mm-hmm.

01:15:55.720 Really interesting.

01:15:56.960 Mm-hmm.

01:15:58.580 Yeah, one time I was somewhere, dude, doing something and we were looking for mushrooms

01:16:02.780 and this man had a dairy and he ended up letting us drink right out of the pail after the milk

01:16:09.140 came out.

01:16:09.460 Right out the teat.

01:16:10.300 I didn't get anything out the teat, bro.

01:16:11.700 I ain't for, I'm trying to go to heaven, bro.

01:16:13.380 Hey, that's as fresh as it gets right there, man.

01:16:15.380 Yeah, dude, but the Lord catches you sucking on an animal, bro.

01:16:18.220 Hey, somebody had to figure it out first.

01:16:20.240 How do you think they figured it out?

01:16:22.060 Well, look, I'm glad they figured it out.

01:16:24.540 That is true, though.

01:16:25.820 Somebody had to figure it out first.

01:16:28.140 I ain't messed up about it, man.

01:16:29.920 Let's get another call from one of our listeners, man.

01:16:33.780 I got to show you this roof, brother.

01:16:35.800 Oh, yeah.

01:16:36.240 I want to see it.

01:16:38.600 What up, Theo?

01:16:39.640 What up, Bryce?

01:16:40.980 It's your boy, Alejandro, coming at you guys from Chicago.

01:16:43.540 My question's for Bryce.

01:16:46.100 Tune in to that season of The Ultimate Fighter you were on.

01:16:48.940 Obviously, a bunch of undefeated fighters.

01:16:51.380 I'm just wondering how you took that first loss, even though it's not on your record.

01:16:55.600 How'd you mentally deal with that, being able to come back with that same mentality of an

01:17:00.060 undefeated fighter?

01:17:01.600 Thank you, guys.

01:17:02.220 You guys are the best.

01:17:03.480 Gang, gang.

01:17:04.820 And Bryce, Reebok better get you them damn camo shorts.

01:17:09.100 Hell, yeah, my brother.

01:17:10.620 They won't, though, will they?

01:17:12.200 Well, it's just going to take time.

01:17:13.760 It's going to take time.

01:17:14.380 I like it.

01:17:14.780 They're going to fold before I fold.

01:17:16.320 I like your attitude, bro.

01:17:17.800 Here's that little roof, though.

01:17:19.280 That's the truth.

01:17:19.760 You got to check this shit out.

01:17:22.180 Oh, man.

01:17:22.740 That's beautiful, dude.

01:17:24.060 I'm not an engineer.

01:17:25.500 You know, I just bought some wood and some metal, started putting shit together, man.

01:17:30.240 That's good, man.

01:17:30.920 You guys are right there by the power lines, too, huh?

01:17:32.920 Well, I had to put that in.

01:17:34.320 That runs to the road.

01:17:36.760 I put that line in.

01:17:39.100 Oh, that's awesome, man.

01:17:40.960 And is that a chicken coop in the back, too?

01:17:43.220 Doghouse.

01:17:44.180 Oh, it's up on stilts, huh?

01:17:45.420 Yeah, the coyotes.

01:17:46.880 Oh, damn.

01:17:48.480 A lot of coyotes out there.

01:17:49.880 Them coyotes can't walk up there.

01:17:51.560 Maybe if they were starving to death, they would, but they just...

01:17:55.520 Dude, you did a great job, man.

01:17:56.900 That's cool.

01:17:57.240 Thank you, brother.

01:17:57.520 Thank you very much.

01:17:58.440 That's really cool.

01:17:59.840 Alejandro, my brother.

01:18:02.360 So how I deal with that loss on the show, man, it's just like every other loss.

01:18:06.600 You know, that ain't the first time I've had my ass whooped.

01:18:09.120 When nobody was looking, my neighbor Jimmy knocked me out in the front yard, you know?

01:18:14.320 I guess that it would be...

01:18:16.040 Get you with them haymakers, huh?

01:18:17.240 Yeah, Jimmy's got a haymaker.

01:18:19.140 Let me tell you, Jimmy, knock your ass out with that left hook.

01:18:22.040 Really?

01:18:22.420 Dude, Jimmy hits hard as shit.

01:18:25.400 And don't fuck Jimmy's sister either.

01:18:28.620 He'll...

01:18:29.380 I didn't do it.

01:18:30.340 Somebody...

01:18:30.740 I've seen somebody fuck Jimmy's sister, and ooh, that's not good.

01:18:34.060 Look, dude.

01:18:34.540 Here's what I learned.

01:18:35.260 If you ain't the one doing it, if you watch her from the window, that still counts, bro.

01:18:39.000 That's one thing I learned the hard way.

01:18:40.600 Well, me and Jimmy was just training.

01:18:42.440 That's when he knocked me out, was in training.

01:18:45.000 But that was way back in the day.

01:18:46.340 But, you know, ever since I was a little kid, I've been getting my ass whooped.

01:18:50.740 It doesn't...

01:18:51.500 You're not afraid...

01:18:52.040 It's not...

01:18:52.840 There must not be a fear of that.

01:18:54.800 You're not afraid of...

01:18:55.920 No, it's...

01:18:56.620 I would say I'm more...

01:18:58.880 When I talk about what could go bad in a fight, I'm always more worried about me doing something

01:19:05.360 and not performing to the best of my ability.

01:19:07.400 It's not the fact that, you know, a dude could bust you up, break your nose, all that shit.

01:19:13.480 You know, that sucks.

01:19:15.280 Right.

01:19:15.400 No, but what really would get me is if I did something embarrassing, if I went in there

01:19:19.380 and just brought shame to my family, that's something I couldn't live with.

01:19:22.600 You know, I go in there to fight, bring honor to my family.

01:19:24.720 Anybody in my family say, wow, you know, win or lose, that kid's a fucking fighter.

01:19:29.240 He did his job.

01:19:30.540 That's your job, is to go in there and fight to the best of your ability.

01:19:33.000 Not to win.

01:19:33.820 It's just to give it every damn thing you got.

01:19:36.860 And, but, yeah, that wasn't my first loss on the Ultimate Fighter, but I'd say just dealing

01:19:43.880 with losses in general, man, you just, you know, it's, it's shitty and life is a bitch,

01:19:49.660 man.

01:19:50.020 You, you're just going to have to, I keep, yeah, it's life.

01:19:53.200 You know what I'm saying?

01:19:53.980 And I got people that what I visualize is, is me providing for the people that I love.

01:20:00.280 You know what I'm saying?

01:20:00.860 That's what my ultimate goal in this sport is.

01:20:03.220 And that's the only reason that I'm doing it is because I think the people I love are

01:20:06.800 going to live better lives when they, I know they are.

01:20:08.940 And if I have to take, if I have to walk through losses, ass kickings, embarrassment, people

01:20:14.540 talking shit to me on Twitter, I can't even have an Instagram and a Twitter and a Facebook

01:20:18.280 no more.

01:20:18.860 I used to, because people talk shit to me.

01:20:20.560 I can't handle it.

01:20:21.420 I, when people talk shit to me, like I said, I visualize hurting them and.

01:20:25.200 Oh yeah.

01:20:25.740 You can't, yeah.

01:20:26.500 If you get too deep in that stuff, it'll get bad.

01:20:28.300 I had to delete my Twitter, my Instagram.

01:20:30.460 Well, Instagram was because of squirrel pictures.

01:20:32.340 They started taking down my squirrel pictures.

01:20:33.880 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:20:34.580 I know.

01:20:35.080 So I said, fuck that.

01:20:35.900 And now why is that?

01:20:36.860 So Instagram took it down just because you put it up as a meat, as a, as a edible.

01:20:41.860 Yeah.

01:20:42.360 And it's like, dude, people.

01:20:43.360 They say cruelty to animals?

01:20:44.680 Yeah, that's it.

01:20:45.060 Well, that's fucking insane.

01:20:46.200 That's bullshit.

01:20:46.740 If you, if you need the animal, if you're eating the animal to live or you're eating the

01:20:49.680 animal.

01:20:50.220 That's what I'm saying.

01:20:50.840 And you know, people post pictures of cheeseburgers and steaks and all this shit.

01:20:55.700 Guess what?

01:20:56.440 You know, I don't care what kind of world.

01:20:58.400 You live in a fucking fantasy world.

01:21:00.500 They fucking killed a cow to get that steak, to get that burger.

01:21:04.900 Not only did they kill it, I killed them squirrels in about two seconds and they lived a natural

01:21:08.600 life.

01:21:09.160 And how do you kill them?

01:21:10.160 Rear naked choke?

01:21:10.940 What do you do with them?

01:21:12.100 Well, if it was a deer, I'd rear naked choke it.

01:21:14.340 Yeah, I know.

01:21:15.020 Actually, I'd love to see you get on that little, get on a squirrel with that real small fucking

01:21:19.860 arm bar him.

01:21:21.020 Man, the last deer I killed, I rear naked choked it, man.

01:21:25.100 Yeah.

01:21:25.340 I didn't, I didn't even shoot it.

01:21:27.160 I mean, no bullshit.

01:21:28.600 And did you sneak up on it?

01:21:29.940 Yeah.

01:21:30.540 Wow.

01:21:30.920 It was a doe, it was sleeping.

01:21:32.820 I caught, it was a, about a three hour ordeal.

01:21:35.480 You know, I was sitting up in a deer stand and I called this doe in.

01:21:37.920 Everybody says the doe was retarded or had some CWD.

01:21:42.020 The CWD, I'm telling you, it was a perfectly healthy doe.

01:21:44.700 I just got its ass.

01:21:45.800 You know, I just, I waited, I was patient and I got really lucky.

01:21:49.080 It wasn't just so much skill.

01:21:50.620 It was a lot of luck.

01:21:52.080 But what happened is I was calling in this doe and lays down in front of me, goes to sleep

01:21:58.940 and I shoot at it with my crossbow and I missed.

01:22:02.120 And it only had one bolt.

01:22:04.080 And it didn't, it didn't move?

01:22:05.500 It, well, it got up and looked around.

01:22:07.600 It like looked it, but them crossbows, it's not like a gun.

01:22:10.600 It just sounds like a branch breaking, you know?

01:22:12.500 So it got up and it looked around and it went right back to sleep.

01:22:16.380 Lazy, huh?

01:22:17.080 Yeah.

01:22:17.480 Lazy, man.

01:22:18.600 And Sunday or must've been a day off.

01:22:21.080 Dude, it's just my lucky day, man.

01:22:22.780 I was, I was just meant to get that deer.

01:22:25.980 I'm telling you, cause I just had the feeling.

01:22:28.040 I was like, I visualized getting it.

01:22:29.900 Cause it was, like I said, I called it in for three hours and I really had to piss and

01:22:34.080 I really had, there was this little protein cookie sitting right by me in the deer stand.

01:22:38.080 I knew I wanted to take a piss and I want to eat that cookie.

01:22:40.840 Yeah.

01:22:41.020 I was like, man, if you piss, that deer is going to smell it.

01:22:43.260 If you reach for that cookie, the wrapper is going to make a noise.

01:22:45.580 I was like, you can just, so for three hours I'm sitting there just staring at this deer,

01:22:49.280 not moving.

01:22:50.360 It's cold.

01:22:51.380 I finally shoot and I miss and dude is most disappointing feeling ever.

01:22:55.140 And I instantly thought, man, this deer is going to get away.

01:22:57.680 I didn't get no meat on my table.

01:22:59.100 And when it went back to sleep, then how did you make that move?

01:23:01.900 I thought, well, I'm going to try some crazy shit.

01:23:06.060 And, and I started making my way down, down to the deer.

01:23:09.420 I started making my way down to deer stand.

01:23:11.380 You tiptoe?

01:23:11.920 You rollerblade?

01:23:12.900 Bro, I'm, that's the definition of tiptoeing.

01:23:16.260 I'm walking like an animal, bro.

01:23:17.300 I'm being on the tops.

01:23:18.660 Yeah.

01:23:19.240 Yeah.

01:23:19.480 Well, I, uh, I get halfway down to deer stand and I start thinking, why don't I just grab

01:23:23.960 my hatchet?

01:23:24.560 Cause I could chop it, but I'm already halfway down to deer stand.

01:23:27.060 So you're not going back.

01:23:27.620 Too late.

01:23:27.980 And then I start thinking, you know what?

01:23:29.860 I'm better with my bare hands because that's what I do for a living.

01:23:33.220 So I started thinking, okay, I'm going to get this doe.

01:23:36.500 And, uh, there's a dead tree pointing at it.

01:23:38.940 So that did, it was probably about 35 yards away, 40 yards away.

01:23:42.740 When I started, there's a dead tree pointing at it.

01:23:44.900 Mm-hmm.

01:23:45.220 So I walked the whole length of that dead tree, you know, that no noise at all.

01:23:49.400 Right.

01:23:49.680 Real quiet.

01:23:50.340 Real, couldn't hear me.

01:23:51.300 Yeah.

01:23:51.460 I mean, nothing could hear me.

01:23:53.320 So now I'm up close to it.

01:23:54.600 When I got to the end of that dead tree, I'm like from here to that, that window away from

01:23:59.780 it.

01:24:00.320 I'm thinking, I'm going to get this fucking deer.

01:24:02.940 There's no, I take my gloves off because I had on big thick gloves.

01:24:06.440 But when you get that close to it.

01:24:07.980 Oh, you can't, yeah, you're going to have to have straight on the hand.

01:24:10.380 That's when the reality set in.

01:24:12.000 It's like, I'm not just trying to do this shit.

01:24:13.520 I'm about to get my hands on it.

01:24:14.800 Right.

01:24:14.960 So I take my gloves off.

01:24:16.280 You can't go up there all fucking just soft mitt.

01:24:18.460 No, no, you want the grip.

01:24:20.100 Yeah.

01:24:20.280 You know, so I take my gloves off.

01:24:21.600 I'm like, dude, this shit's getting real.

01:24:22.820 And that's when my adrenaline was just like, it felt like a fight, like a literal thing.

01:24:27.460 And he's still asleep?

01:24:28.820 Yeah, it's a she.

01:24:30.240 It's a she.

01:24:30.580 But yeah, yeah, she's sleeping, completely asleep.

01:24:32.680 Does that change your vibe any that it's a man or a woman you're about to attack?

01:24:36.180 No, it's all, it's all meat.

01:24:38.000 I wouldn't attack a small one, but just because it's a, it has potential to grow bigger.

01:24:44.440 So you could harvest that meat later.

01:24:46.360 Oh, I see what you're saying.

01:24:47.120 I have no, you know, you're killing something either way, whether it's a male or female.

01:24:51.320 And I don't, I'm not even into the trophy hunting.

01:24:54.800 I really don't care if it's the biggest buck in the world.

01:24:57.880 If somebody asked, would you rather have the biggest buck ever, some 12 pointer?

01:25:02.120 Or, you know, three does.

01:25:04.400 Yeah.

01:25:04.580 I'll take three does.

01:25:05.420 There's more meat.

01:25:06.220 You know, I'm really just there for the meat.

01:25:08.360 And, uh, so then I, it was a wet day.

01:25:12.600 It rained all day before.

01:25:14.780 And so if you're, especially if you're squirrel hunting or something, that's the best, best

01:25:18.400 time to do it is when it's damp outside, them leaves don't crunch, you know?

01:25:22.180 So then it fell asleep.

01:25:24.620 Then to make it even more lucky, like I said, it was meant to be, it wasn't just because

01:25:29.040 of my skill.

01:25:29.660 It was, God was giving that shit to me.

01:25:31.360 He was, he wanted that, that food on the table.

01:25:33.600 He wanted me to get to have that experience.

01:25:36.160 And, uh, the, the deer fell asleep on a game trail.

01:25:40.220 So it fell asleep on a, on a damp day on a game trail and on the game trail, that's where

01:25:45.740 all these other deer were walking.

01:25:47.060 So they've already crunched the leaves for me.

01:25:49.220 Oh.

01:25:49.840 So it's like, there's hardly any leaves there.

01:25:51.800 The few leaves that there are, it's wet.

01:25:54.300 This deer cannot hear me.

01:25:55.460 This is a layup.

01:25:56.320 This is, this is a fucking setup.

01:25:58.440 You know what I'm saying?

01:25:59.000 Man, this deer got set up, dude.

01:26:00.360 You're thinking Chris Hansen might pop out from one of these trees.

01:26:03.080 You're like, oh.

01:26:04.460 Well, dude, uh, I get up there on the deer.

01:26:07.000 I mean, it didn't, I didn't make a noise, man.

01:26:08.820 It was perfect conditions.

01:26:10.680 And then, uh, I text my coach.

01:26:13.940 I had my phone in my pocket.

01:26:15.420 I straddled the deer.

01:26:16.500 When I straddled the deer, that's when I text my coach.

01:26:19.440 And, uh.

01:26:19.760 And it's still asleep?

01:26:20.480 Still asleep.

01:26:21.080 And you're texting?

01:26:21.680 I'm texting.

01:26:22.420 I'm texting.

01:26:23.040 And the only reason I, I was texting my coach is because I really thought that doe might

01:26:27.420 get up and whoop my ass.

01:26:28.560 It's about a hundred something, a hundred plus pound doe.

01:26:30.800 It's, those fuckers are strong, man.

01:26:33.100 Yeah.

01:26:33.600 You can close your Postmates app at that point, dude, because you're fucking about to, you're

01:26:37.300 about to eat.

01:26:37.860 Oh, yeah.

01:26:38.320 Well, I texted my coach.

01:26:39.640 I texted him, help, help, and run.

01:26:42.440 And, uh, because I didn't want to explain to him, hey, I'm about to choke out a deer.

01:26:47.140 Like, he would be like, what?

01:26:48.420 Yeah, it's a lot.

01:26:49.200 It's a lot.

01:26:50.080 Do they have a deer emoji?

01:26:51.280 I don't even know if they have that.

01:26:51.940 They do.

01:26:52.260 They do.

01:26:52.640 They do.

01:26:53.320 Well, I just text him, help, help, run.

01:26:55.760 Because I want him thinking I'm about to die.

01:26:57.620 Right.

01:26:57.960 So he gets there as quickly as possible.

01:26:59.980 So right after I sent a text, he said, okay.

01:27:02.860 Uh, and shit, I hopped on that deer.

01:27:05.400 I, I couldn't get my right hand in because the way it was laying, it was laying on its right

01:27:08.820 side, so I choked it with my, my weaker arm, uh, with, with choking.

01:27:12.520 I put my left arm on it and, uh, wrapped my ankles, you know, did,

01:27:17.140 uh, did the standard little ankle, ankle lock.

01:27:19.760 You know, I couldn't do a body triangle, so I just crossed my ankles and squeezed every

01:27:24.380 living shit out of it.

01:27:25.460 Just squeezed it for about five minutes till my coach got there.

01:27:28.260 And did it feel good or bad?

01:27:30.120 Well, the thing was kicking so hard that I thought it was alive when he got there.

01:27:36.100 And, uh, I thought that the fucker was going to get away.

01:27:38.720 You know, I really did.

01:27:39.660 I mean, it was just convulsing and twitching so hard.

01:27:42.000 I couldn't, I couldn't control his back legs at all.

01:27:45.180 I had his front legs pretty good with my legs around him, uh, and my knees was pinching.

01:27:50.660 So it's front legs I felt good about.

01:27:52.400 And, you know, I had it by the head, but them back legs, dude, they're just kicking up dirt,

01:27:56.500 just panicking, just kicking up muds flying.

01:27:59.480 Oh yeah.

01:27:59.960 Like a fucking angry baseball coach.

01:28:02.740 Yeah.

01:28:03.020 And, and so coach comes over and he's like, uh, what are you doing?

01:28:07.700 He says, what are you doing?

01:28:09.500 Cause, cause, and I already know what he's thinking in his head.

01:28:13.040 So I didn't even try to, I said, I didn't fucking shoot it.

01:28:16.120 Cause he, I already know what he thinks you shot and you're over here just fucking around.

01:28:19.660 I said, I didn't fucking shoot it.

01:28:21.020 And he goes, what?

01:28:22.020 I said, I swear to God, I didn't shoot it.

01:28:23.560 I said, I swear to God.

01:28:24.740 He said, you're kidding.

01:28:25.860 I said, I swear to God, stab this motherfucker.

01:28:27.720 He's going to get away because I, my, my, my arm was cramping.

01:28:30.840 I mean, I was squeezing it for five minutes and this thing is just kicking as hard as

01:28:34.120 it was when I first, it didn't slow down.

01:28:35.780 It was just not a bit, not a bit.

01:28:37.340 And you had to expect it was going to start to slow down, huh?

01:28:39.440 Yeah.

01:28:39.680 It didn't.

01:28:40.320 So I know where it's windpipe is or anything.

01:28:42.360 I mean, do you know, right here.

01:28:43.240 Okay.

01:28:43.500 Just same, same.

01:28:44.340 And that's where you're on.

01:28:45.200 I'm on it.

01:28:45.800 Yeah.

01:28:45.960 I'm on its throat.

01:28:46.780 I mean, I'm on it.

01:28:47.580 Just, I mean, I've, I've finished most of my fights for rear naked choke.

01:28:50.840 So, you know, if there's one thing I can finish, it's that damn rear naked choke and

01:28:54.220 I'm doing it just like I should, but I'm just like, shit, this thing is tough as shit.

01:28:58.480 You can't choke a deer, you know?

01:28:59.880 And, uh, he said, what do you want me to do?

01:29:02.560 And I said, you never see deers choking each other.

01:29:04.600 Yeah.

01:29:05.380 And so I'm like, uh, you know, stab, stab them quick, stab her, stab her.

01:29:10.080 And, uh, he said, well, he said, I don't got my knife.

01:29:13.300 I said, run up to the deer stand, get my hatchet.

01:29:15.120 Cause my hatchet was in deer stand, the one that I forgot.

01:29:17.400 So he runs up there, runs back and he finally goes to chop its neck.

01:29:21.540 And when I let go, that deer was dead.

01:29:24.220 Because the head went limp, even though the body was twitching, the head went completely

01:29:29.600 limp and it was like, you know, made like a, a, a moan that started out high, but then

01:29:36.260 ended up, it's like, you know, like that was its last bit of air coming out of the lungs.

01:29:43.600 So I already knew that the, then he chopped its neck anyway, just to make sure that it was

01:29:47.880 dead.

01:29:48.380 But, uh, yeah, but while I was choking it, I really thought the deer was alive.

01:29:52.720 And I didn't know until I let go that I already killed it.

01:29:55.620 Damn.

01:29:56.200 So it could have been dead that whole time.

01:29:57.640 It probably, probably was after about two minutes.

01:30:00.640 Damn, bro.

01:30:01.580 That's almost like a rodeo a little bit at that point.

01:30:04.240 Shit was wild, man.

01:30:05.380 I'd pay money to see that.

01:30:06.760 That dead deer riding?

01:30:07.960 Yeah.

01:30:08.980 Fairback dead deer riding.

01:30:10.180 I'd watch it.

01:30:10.820 The shit was wild.

01:30:11.700 But, and I know people are going to be hating on me.

01:30:14.260 These animal cruelty people.

01:30:15.640 Hey, that's the best way.

01:30:17.360 If you're a deer, you, you want me to choke you to death every time.

01:30:20.240 Cause let me tell you what, these deer, uh, they die no matter what, no matter if I choke

01:30:26.420 them or coyotes eat them or they get old and, and, you know, hit by cart, they're going

01:30:30.700 to die.

01:30:31.180 And that's the most painless way to die.

01:30:33.580 That deer is probably unconscious.

01:30:35.320 Trust me.

01:30:36.060 I've been choked out a lot.

01:30:37.480 Okay.

01:30:37.960 That deer is probably unconscious in about seven seconds and it was waking up from a

01:30:41.860 nap.

01:30:42.260 Can you imagine waking up from a nap and then just basically going right back to, I mean,

01:30:47.260 you're not even going to know what's going on.

01:30:49.060 You're barely awake.

01:30:49.760 You're like, what was that?

01:30:50.600 And then you're going to heaven.

01:30:51.480 Yeah.

01:30:51.700 And I mean, I sat there, man.

01:30:53.380 And, uh, like I said, God wanted me to have that meat.

01:30:55.740 I sat there.

01:30:56.320 I sat there.

01:30:56.620 That's a layup, man.

01:30:57.200 That's what I'm saying, man.

01:30:58.140 It, God put that deer there for me.

01:31:00.140 I said a prayer.

01:31:01.080 I was like, I said, thank you for right before I took the shot in my head.

01:31:05.180 I said, God, thank you for giving this meat to me.

01:31:07.560 My family needs it.

01:31:08.560 I'm going to, you know, put it towards me, the kids, the girl.

01:31:12.000 We're all going to eat good off this deer.

01:31:13.340 Thank you so much.

01:31:14.060 I'm so grateful.

01:31:14.700 I take the shot and miss.

01:31:17.140 God said, you're going to have to work harder than that.

01:31:19.700 Dang, bruh.

01:31:20.280 Yeah.

01:31:20.640 I said, look, man.

01:31:22.040 Shit ain't easy out here, buddy.

01:31:23.880 Yeah.

01:31:25.560 Oh man, that's a beautiful story, dude.

01:31:27.400 But, um, you know, that's the most painless way to go out, getting choked out.

01:31:31.760 Think about it.

01:31:32.320 A deer gets shot in the ass all the time or the gut.

01:31:34.540 Oh yeah.

01:31:34.980 And they run away.

01:31:35.920 They never get found.

01:31:37.000 They die three hours later.

01:31:38.480 They slowly bleed to death.

01:31:40.060 I mean.

01:31:40.240 Or a net, get hit by a Volvo, get hit by a van.

01:31:43.300 Imagine getting hit by a fucking van, dude.

01:31:45.700 Yeah.

01:31:46.080 Yeah.

01:31:46.280 Not even an SUV, bro.

01:31:47.420 And these assholes, they don't even keep the meat, man.

01:31:49.480 Yeah.

01:31:49.800 They'll drive off and the deer's just sitting there moaning, crying.

01:31:53.120 It's like, anytime I see a deer on the side of the road, if it's still alive, I'm cutting

01:31:56.700 the throat and putting it in the trunk.

01:31:58.040 You know, these people just drive off and leave them.

01:31:59.840 Yeah.

01:32:00.240 Yeah.

01:32:00.320 And a lot of areas people want to say like, yeah, I agree.

01:32:03.320 Don't choke a deer out in the fucking middle of Beverly Hills.

01:32:06.300 Right.

01:32:06.660 I get it.

01:32:07.560 I understand how those people think that way, but in rural Arkansas or in a place where

01:32:12.500 people eat meat, use it all the time, you know, man, it's just part of life, dude.

01:32:17.740 I'm not opposed to choking one out in the park.

01:32:20.080 Yeah.

01:32:20.360 Out here.

01:32:20.800 What did you say?

01:32:21.140 Beverly Park?

01:32:22.060 Yeah.

01:32:22.520 I think we could set it up.

01:32:25.020 Let's go hunting, man.

01:32:26.100 Over in Beverly Park.

01:32:27.300 Dude, I'm trying to think of what you could catch around here.

01:32:30.000 You could probably shoot some Antifa, some of those people, dude.

01:32:33.720 Speaking of.

01:32:34.900 Here we have a question right here that came in.

01:32:36.860 But speaking of Antifa, I wanted to ask this.

01:32:39.820 You said you don't really go on the social media, but I'm wondering if your manager filled

01:32:43.640 you in, like what kind of response you got after Trump quote tweeted you.

01:32:49.620 Yeah, that's awesome.

01:32:50.740 Oh, yeah.

01:32:50.980 It's a wild trial.

01:32:51.700 You got a quote from the president.

01:32:54.340 Man, that's amazing, man.

01:32:56.160 That's so wild, huh?

01:32:58.840 And like I said, my mom, she don't support my MMA career at all.

01:33:02.300 She's always saying, I want you to quit.

01:33:05.060 I want this to be the last one.

01:33:06.440 I want you to do this again.

01:33:07.640 But man, when she found out Donald Trump tweeted me, she called and she said, oh, my God.

01:33:15.760 She was just screaming.

01:33:17.160 She said, ah, Donald Trump.

01:33:19.800 I mean, she likes Donald Trump a lot.

01:33:21.920 She was excited, huh?

01:33:22.800 She was super excited.

01:33:24.000 I mean, that's probably the most proud of me she's ever been at the.

01:33:26.980 And what's funny is my papa, I love my papa very much.

01:33:33.640 And this is your grandfather?

01:33:34.620 Yes, sir.

01:33:35.140 Yes, sir.

01:33:35.440 He's still alive.

01:33:36.040 After my last fight, he said, man, you did good.

01:33:40.700 And I'm just telling him I love him and telling him thanks and everything.

01:33:44.160 And I said, you see the governor text me?

01:33:46.880 He said, the president texted you?

01:33:48.160 I said, no, the president ain't texting me yet.

01:33:50.000 I said, that might be a while.

01:33:51.620 The next fight, the president messages me.

01:33:55.760 I said, wow.

01:33:56.980 Isn't that interesting?

01:33:57.820 That's amazing.

01:33:58.480 And it's funny how sometimes you can almost feel stuff like that.

01:34:02.000 You can feel sometimes certain things going to happen in your life a little bit.

01:34:04.900 Like, sometimes you get a little bit of a premonition in a weird way.

01:34:07.780 Yeah, I like that word, premonition.

01:34:10.220 That's, I'm going to start using that word.

01:34:12.040 That's what I get.

01:34:13.180 I get premonitions and stuff.

01:34:15.060 Yeah.

01:34:15.420 And it's like.

01:34:15.920 And those are real, man.

01:34:16.600 Those are really, really real.

01:34:17.560 Like, I remember getting one of a, I remember like they have an actor that hit me up about

01:34:23.420 being in a movie earlier this year.

01:34:25.940 And a couple of weeks before, I've been looking on Instagram and I'd seen that he liked something

01:34:31.980 of mine.

01:34:32.860 And I'd be like, man, it would be so wild if he hit me up and asked me about being in

01:34:39.500 a film.

01:34:40.500 It'd be so interesting.

01:34:42.240 And then two weeks later, it happened.

01:34:44.820 You know?

01:34:45.100 It's just, I mean, it's just, I mean, I don't have any ego in it.

01:34:49.560 It's just interesting how those premonitions can be real.

01:34:52.040 Sometimes people just shake them off like it's nothing.

01:34:54.220 No, I liked, I used to shake them off.

01:34:55.980 Me too.

01:34:56.500 I used to shake them off, bro.

01:34:58.300 And now I look at them like that.

01:35:01.040 I know exactly what you're talking about.

01:35:03.620 I feel the same way about them, man.

01:35:05.340 It's almost strange and weird, you know?

01:35:07.600 But yeah.

01:35:08.500 I like those too, myself.

01:35:10.500 It's even more wild he asked you when you said no.

01:35:13.120 Yeah.

01:35:14.220 Yeah.

01:35:14.620 And here's the craziest part about the movie.

01:35:16.800 I'm walking down the street.

01:35:17.880 So I got into this film and then I backed out of it.

01:35:20.600 It was just too much of a time commitment.

01:35:22.340 Yeah.

01:35:22.740 I'm walking down the street the other night and I see a guy who's in the movie.

01:35:28.480 And I said, how's it going?

01:35:29.720 He's like, man, I'm just bummed.

01:35:31.080 I have to fly back out tomorrow.

01:35:32.700 We still got to shoot scenes.

01:35:33.920 I got to fly back out in two weeks.

01:35:35.860 You didn't want that being you.

01:35:37.320 Right.

01:35:37.560 And man, at that one moment, I was like, oh, I made the right choice for myself, you know?

01:35:43.220 You know, even though I think either choice would have been okay.

01:35:45.980 But I was like, oh, I trusted whatever instinct was in me.

01:35:49.860 I trusted it.

01:35:51.040 Mm-hmm.

01:35:51.500 You know?

01:35:52.080 Mm-hmm.

01:35:52.600 Did you always feel like, because I know coming from like a humble beginning in that sort of place

01:35:57.060 and coming from a, you know, you know, just a, come from kind of like a, and I don't want

01:36:02.260 to say redneck.

01:36:02.960 I don't believe in a lot of that kind of stuff, but I think of like rural, you know, coming

01:36:07.400 from a more simpler place.

01:36:09.920 Do you ever, did you ever feel like you were destined for something bigger?

01:36:14.760 Like, did you ever honestly feel like that for yourself?

01:36:16.700 Because some people never think that, you know, or never have that desire.

01:36:21.320 Did you, that's a better word there.

01:36:22.960 Never, some people never have that desire for something bigger, more grandiose kind of.

01:36:28.580 Did you ever think that?

01:36:29.800 Or is this all just been kind of like, as your platform is growing and, you know, your name

01:36:34.300 and your sport, is it just been kind of a surprise?

01:36:37.000 Um, I think that, uh, what you just described there, I've heard people that I train with

01:36:44.440 because, you know, I've been talking about wanting to be in the UFC for over 10 years

01:36:49.200 now since, I mean, I was, it, it's didn't, you know, this wasn't overnight.

01:36:52.980 This is a long time ago and when you first start, everybody thinks that's impossible.

01:36:57.080 You know, and I've heard people in the gym that I train with that are good people, more

01:37:00.980 talented than myself.

01:37:02.240 You know, I don't have a lot of talent, um, you know, I have a, you know, you know, I

01:37:09.160 fucking work hard and I'm tough as shit and I'm not scared of nobody, you know, and that's

01:37:13.060 Oh, well then I don't have that dude.

01:37:14.160 I think I have some talent.

01:37:15.200 Yeah.

01:37:17.060 Yeah.

01:37:17.520 Sorry.

01:37:17.900 I don't have that, but I mean, I work hard, but I'm not tough as nobody and I'm afraid

01:37:22.860 of a lot of shit, man.

01:37:24.140 No, you definitely work hard.

01:37:25.420 I have worked hard though.

01:37:27.300 And, uh, man, uh, the guys in the gym.

01:37:30.480 Yeah.

01:37:30.900 They're more talented than you say it.

01:37:32.240 And yeah, the guy in the gym, you know, and this was probably 10, more than 10 years ago.

01:37:36.580 Dude said, man, I said, man, can't you wait till we get to UFC?

01:37:39.920 Isn't that going to be fucking badass?

01:37:41.300 And he said, uh, man, we're just never going to make it from this little town.

01:37:44.940 That's what he said.

01:37:46.940 And, uh, so I, I, people do think about like stuff like that.

01:37:51.440 It's never stopped me ever.

01:37:53.440 Um, you know, it's just not part of your brain.

01:37:57.540 It's not part of how your brain does it.

01:37:59.580 No.

01:38:00.040 And I think it adds coolness to the story too, you know, doing something from somewhere

01:38:04.320 that a lot of other people aren't doing, you know, it just, it makes me unique and not

01:38:08.820 just my, my personality or whatever, uh, where I'm from, it makes my fighting style unique.

01:38:16.120 I'm doing some shit that's that, you know, I mean, I'm doing shit that you don't see it

01:38:21.520 at some of these other gyms, man, where you got 50 MMA fighters.

01:38:24.780 I mean, I'm doing some top secret shit.

01:38:26.960 Yeah.

01:38:27.280 I love that, man.

01:38:28.500 And do you love that a little bit?

01:38:30.420 I mean, do you, uh, do you start to think like, what else can I do that is unique?

01:38:34.720 You know, because things always evolve, you know, like I remember, um, people started

01:38:40.060 dribbling the basketball, like the, like every little thing in sports, things always evolve.

01:38:44.680 Some, someone finds a new way of doing it, a little bit of a new way or a new look or

01:38:50.500 a new vibe really.

01:38:52.140 Um, and is that something you start to feel a little bit like, man, I wouldn't have a

01:38:58.140 mad if, if, if you'd have told me when I started, uh, that I would have evolved as much as, and

01:39:04.620 really nobody knows how much I've evolved as a fighter besides myself.

01:39:08.280 Right.

01:39:08.640 Because now I know what I'm capable of and I know where I started.

01:39:11.780 Nobody else does.

01:39:12.540 They just see from the outside, but I'm telling you, man, I would have never imagined there

01:39:16.240 was, uh, so many inches and it's like every day you learn, you work something new and you're,

01:39:23.300 you're always, I'm always trying to learn something new.

01:39:25.660 I just wouldn't have imagined that it would, it'll probably be like that till I retire.

01:39:30.160 And then after I retire, I'll just train for fun.

01:39:33.440 And I'll probably be that old dude that still saved up a couple of ass whoopings and have

01:39:37.700 some new moves to try out on some young punk, you know, that's just talking some shit to me.

01:39:42.220 Take somebody fucking down as a fucking, over at Wally World or in the parking lot.

01:39:45.900 Right there in the parking lot, man.

01:39:47.380 Take somebody fucking down.

01:39:47.700 Hey, man, Walmart, there's some assholes at Walmart, man.

01:39:50.060 Dude, come on, man.

01:39:51.580 I'm telling you right now.

01:39:52.540 Dude, they should make, and some people, man, they had this one family I know, they used

01:39:56.540 to tie a couple carts together.

01:39:57.940 You know when they bring the carts in, they'll push them all in?

01:40:00.360 Well, this family, they would, like, uh, they would tie a couple carts in the front where

01:40:06.440 it wouldn't come all the way back and they would just push like a train and just load

01:40:09.140 them all up, dude.

01:40:10.660 Have five or six kids hanging off, kid between the tits.

01:40:14.040 One of them ladies got just one warm ass kid just fucking sitting right there.

01:40:19.540 Some real premature, I don't even think that kid, I think he was real premature.

01:40:23.160 He should still be on the inside, but he's on the outside.

01:40:26.160 She's got him just baking right between them fucking front breads, man.

01:40:29.540 Um, we got a question that came in right here.

01:40:32.020 We didn't get to it.

01:40:32.840 Let's go.

01:40:34.760 Hey guys, this is Grace from Minnesota, and my question for you is, uh, what's the best

01:40:39.700 compliments that you've ever received, and who was it from?

01:40:43.420 And my second question is, do you still have your underwear from the Ultimate Fighter gang?

01:40:48.660 Man, look, I had to think about this one, because there is a compliment that I just can't remember

01:40:57.580 it, but I remember getting that compliment and thinking, that might be the greatest thing

01:41:00.640 somebody's ever said to me.

01:41:02.540 I just can't remember what the shit was, man.

01:41:04.700 Been hit to me damn times.

01:41:06.840 It was, uh...

01:41:07.720 But could you have remembered before you were hit, I wonder?

01:41:10.360 That's what I'm wondering.

01:41:11.360 Oh, okay, yeah.

01:41:12.300 Here it is.

01:41:13.040 Here it is.

01:41:13.460 Um, it was somebody in the gym, uh, and this might not, this is the best thing that I can

01:41:18.960 think of right off the bat.

01:41:20.520 Uh, somebody came up to the gym after my fight, and, uh, they said, uh, they, they were all

01:41:27.040 pumped up.

01:41:28.100 They're like, we doing twisters tonight?

01:41:29.560 Because I teach a jujitsu class.

01:41:30.980 I said, hell yeah, we're doing twisters tonight.

01:41:33.020 It was right after I got that twister.

01:41:34.660 And so everybody's, because if you show a twister, but you've never done one in a competition,

01:41:38.960 everybody says, oh, this is some bullshit.

01:41:41.700 What kind of bullshit is this?

01:41:43.620 And I know it works, because I do it all the time, but after my fight, now other people

01:41:48.080 can say, okay, it really does work.

01:41:49.700 This kid's not on some crazy shit.

01:41:51.340 Yeah, we'll learn the twister from him.

01:41:52.680 And so this woman, she come up to me, and she said, uh, I really like your coaching.

01:41:56.840 She said, you were born to do this.

01:41:59.340 Wow.

01:41:59.840 Yeah.

01:42:00.800 Even as a coach, huh?

01:42:02.100 Mm-hmm.

01:42:02.700 That's really interesting.

01:42:03.280 Yeah, she was talking about my coaching.

01:42:05.220 That's a compliment, huh?

01:42:06.480 Yeah, that's probably one of the greatest compliments somebody ever told me.

01:42:09.860 That's more than just saying you're a good coach.

01:42:12.060 Yeah.

01:42:12.200 That's...

01:42:12.760 What made you feel good about it?

01:42:14.500 Just on the inside, man.

01:42:15.900 Just made me feel like I have a purpose, you know?

01:42:19.220 Yeah.

01:42:19.420 And I mean, that's the ultimate goal, I guess, of a coach, is to make, you know, feel like

01:42:24.880 you have a purpose, like you're helping these people.

01:42:27.480 Yeah.

01:42:27.880 But, uh...

01:42:29.200 Is it important for you to help other people?

01:42:32.780 Hell yeah, dude.

01:42:33.340 I want to train some ninjas, man.

01:42:34.940 Hell yeah.

01:42:35.400 I want, if somebody fucks with one of my ninjas in the Walmart parking lot, man, I want them

01:42:39.160 twisting them up in a pretzel, you know what I'm saying?

01:42:41.120 I'm saying, bro.

01:42:41.680 Hey, Ann Annie's, bro.

01:42:42.520 You're going to open up a new Ann Annie's.

01:42:43.820 That's what I'm saying, man.

01:42:44.960 Um, and I take it, I take it, um, super serious, uh, trying to coach the technique, just down

01:42:51.860 into the little nitty gritty details.

01:42:53.460 Don't like your hands this way, do it this way, or vice versa, you know, just, um, and,

01:42:59.220 uh, I forgot where I was going with that.

01:43:01.340 But, yeah, I take it serious, you know, I really want to do the best that I can.

01:43:04.820 Being a coach, yeah.

01:43:06.200 It's nice, man.

01:43:07.140 It's nice to have, uh, yeah, appreciation for what you do.

01:43:09.620 I wonder sometimes if I would ever teach comedy.

01:43:11.800 I don't think I would.

01:43:12.700 I think it's such an individual type of thing where it's just your own personality and stuff.

01:43:16.920 I don't think there's anything.

01:43:18.540 People always ask me, like, how do I get into comedy?

01:43:21.720 I get, you know, a lot of people that send that in, and I'm grateful for people asking me.

01:43:27.120 Um, but it's really just, with that, it's just practice, you know.

01:43:30.640 There's not really a technique you can learn from anyone else, you know.

01:43:35.300 Uh, so in that sense, I can't relate to some of that.

01:43:38.380 But what did you say?

01:43:39.760 A great compliment.

01:43:41.420 Um, somebody told me one time, this girl said, what I like about your comedy is for smart people and dumb people.

01:43:52.960 Yeah.

01:43:53.220 That's what she said.

01:43:53.880 Yeah.

01:43:54.060 And that made me feel pretty good, I think.

01:43:58.760 Hell yeah.

01:43:59.240 Because I never knew which one I was anyway.

01:44:01.580 So I think it made me feel pretty good.

01:44:03.620 We gotta.

01:44:03.920 A mix of both.

01:44:05.020 Yeah.

01:44:05.860 A mix of both.

01:44:06.640 And that's okay.

01:44:07.660 Yeah.

01:44:07.700 Dude, where I grew up, man, it was embarrassing to be smart if you were smart.

01:44:10.860 Yeah.

01:44:11.200 You ever remember anything like that?

01:44:13.060 Like, if somebody was fucking smart, dude?

01:44:15.100 Mm-hmm.

01:44:15.360 Look at this motherfucker.

01:44:16.720 I mean, they definitely stand out.

01:44:18.400 I wouldn't say we made fun of them, but, you know, be like, that's a smart dude.

01:44:21.560 Yeah.

01:44:21.920 Yeah.

01:44:22.120 That's a fucking smart dude, bro.

01:44:24.460 Like, I remember, yeah, some people did not want anything to do with fucking the alphabet or fucking ideas, bro.

01:44:32.320 I remember trying to tell this one kid what an idea was.

01:44:35.080 Yeah.

01:44:35.740 I'm like, dude, it's like when something comes into your head that you don't really know.

01:44:39.820 And he's like, what the fuck are you talking about, man?

01:44:41.880 He's tripping an idea, bro.

01:44:43.600 He goes, oh, man, you missed me with all of that shit.

01:44:47.260 I said, fuck, you never had an idea?

01:44:50.180 Well, she's asking about those boxers, too.

01:44:53.880 And about them boxers, I have at least like 10 packs of them left.

01:44:57.800 Yeah, because that was the main thing you took, huh?

01:45:00.520 Yeah, on the show, they let you request stuff.

01:45:02.740 And so that's all I requested was boxers.

01:45:04.560 And so I got 10 packs of boxers.

01:45:07.080 I mean, I'm going to have boxers from that show for the next probably 10 years at least.

01:45:12.740 Amen, man.

01:45:13.400 We're going to make you keep your word on that, too.

01:45:18.560 And if she was talking about the bloody ones, I don't know if she was talking about the blood,

01:45:22.280 because that's the one that I ripped my nuts up in.

01:45:24.920 And the boxers are fine.

01:45:26.280 They just have blood all over them.

01:45:28.140 But we were going to frame them, put them in a frame, and just tell people a story.

01:45:33.600 Oh, I thought you meant use them in a crime.

01:45:35.720 No.

01:45:36.340 I'm like, damn.

01:45:37.180 Frame them up.

01:45:37.980 What kind of crime?

01:45:39.560 Well, we was going to fucking lay them by a murder.

01:45:43.780 You know what I'm saying?

01:45:44.560 I didn't know what you meant, man.

01:45:47.480 Well, but yeah, it started smelling so bad.

01:45:50.720 Oh, yeah.

01:45:51.160 They started smelling just this god-awful just blood and semen smell.

01:45:54.460 So it was like, fuck that, man.

01:45:55.800 We just power washed them, and now I wear them.

01:45:58.440 Oh, hell yeah.

01:45:59.900 That's right.

01:46:01.040 Do you really?

01:46:01.860 Hell yeah.

01:46:02.300 Oh, that's beautiful, dude.

01:46:03.260 It's a good pair.

01:46:03.840 I mean, they didn't get ripped.

01:46:05.300 I mean, that's solid material.

01:46:06.880 Yeah, that's pressure washing, dude.

01:46:08.440 Yeah.

01:46:08.660 That's fucking...

01:46:09.360 Dude, you ever get one of those pressure washers, the ones you use at home?

01:46:12.620 Those things are fucking nice, huh?

01:46:13.580 Yeah, they're strong as shit.

01:46:15.400 Some of them are real strong.

01:46:16.580 If you get the industrial one, the one that have the gas-powered, dude, that thing almost

01:46:21.020 cuts your skin open sometimes.

01:46:22.080 You know, they cut machines that cut through metal.

01:46:25.040 Maybe they use lasers on some of them, but a lot of them just use water.

01:46:28.680 Yeah.

01:46:29.040 That cut through metal.

01:46:30.040 It's crazy, huh?

01:46:30.680 Yeah, I mean, you really...

01:46:32.120 Some of them, I've heard of them using sand or something.

01:46:35.040 Sand, there's lasers, but water will cut right through metal if it comes out with enough

01:46:38.900 pressure.

01:46:39.440 It's wild, huh?

01:46:40.280 Mm-hmm.

01:46:41.080 Dude, lasers are wild, bro.

01:46:42.480 I remember when I was growing up, dude, you'd tell people, what is the thing?

01:46:46.540 Oh, lasers, bro.

01:46:47.880 If you wanted fucking to sell something to somebody, they'd be like, dude, you want to buy this

01:46:51.320 hat?

01:46:51.540 They'd be like, nah, I don't want it.

01:46:52.640 They'd be like, dog, it's got lasers on it.

01:46:54.300 They'd be like, all right, I'll take it, dude.

01:46:56.260 Fucking rural people love lasers, man.

01:46:58.540 Yeah, I think that as far as secret weapons go and shit, I definitely think the government's

01:47:04.980 got some badass lasers.

01:47:06.260 Oh, yeah.

01:47:06.520 I think we could melt some motherfuckers if we wanted to.

01:47:09.400 That's one thing I do believe in, is secret weapons, as far as they go.

01:47:12.600 I think we got some type of ghetto invisibility type thing.

01:47:16.680 Yeah, and I think it's boot, and I will say the invisibility, I bet, is fucking bootleg.

01:47:21.040 Like, you can still pee people's shoes.

01:47:22.620 Yeah.

01:47:23.000 Like, you can still see their shoes, or you can still, like, hear their keys jingling.

01:47:26.900 But it's good enough where, you know.

01:47:28.240 It's good enough, yeah.

01:47:29.500 Yeah, I think we got invisibility, it just is kind of shaky right now.

01:47:33.080 Yeah, it's kind of shaky.

01:47:33.760 We definitely got some lasers.

01:47:34.200 Like, every now and then, you kind of show up for half a second, you're like, fuck.

01:47:37.340 Yeah.

01:47:38.620 But fucking, I guarantee you, we got some lasers that could melt a motherfucker.

01:47:43.120 I guarantee you.

01:47:43.960 Oh, I believe that, man.

01:47:44.860 You know, they have a laser, when you look at this up, they can hear through walls, you

01:47:48.260 know that.

01:47:48.820 So they could put a laser on your house and hear what you're saying.

01:47:51.800 That's crazy, man.

01:47:53.400 Let's see what kind of secret weapons they got, Nick.

01:47:55.360 Can you Google secret weapons for people?

01:47:58.200 If they come up on Google, I think that's a failure of a secret weapon.

01:48:01.460 Oh, that's a good point, dude.

01:48:04.360 Dude, they used to have, look, they have a museum in Philadelphia where you're

01:48:07.600 you can go, and they have all the spy stuff that they ever use for spies.

01:48:11.040 Like, they have, like, a little camera that, like, a bird would wear, and he'll fly out

01:48:15.120 and see stuff.

01:48:16.160 Is that in D.C.?

01:48:17.320 Or, you said Philadelphia?

01:48:18.420 This is Philadelphia.

01:48:19.260 They may have it in D.C., too.

01:48:20.560 How close is Philadelphia to D.C.?

01:48:22.100 I think it's probably about a three-hour drive.

01:48:23.620 Okay, never mind.

01:48:24.460 Well, my buddy, he was telling me, because when I was up in D.C., he's in all shit like

01:48:29.860 that.

01:48:30.120 He said, man, you've got to go to the spy museum.

01:48:32.000 Oh, wow, yeah.

01:48:32.540 So, either they have one in D.C., or he was mistaken about the one in Philadelphia.

01:48:36.520 It could be, some of them travel to different spots, I think.

01:48:39.520 Like, they'll do, like, yeah, a couple months here.

01:48:42.180 Because it was not a whole museum.

01:48:43.480 I will say this, it was just an exhibit at a museum.

01:48:46.400 Mm-hmm.

01:48:47.720 10 of Les secret weapons.

01:48:49.400 Right there, number 10.

01:48:50.660 Laser.

01:48:51.240 Look, that's the first one on the list.

01:48:52.560 I can tell you right now.

01:48:53.860 That's what I said.

01:48:54.620 That's number one on the list.

01:48:56.060 Everybody knows, when you start going down that list, it's going to get more top secret.

01:48:59.880 Yeah.

01:49:00.260 We're talking about some butt bombs, man.

01:49:01.940 You know, some dirty, dirty shit.

01:49:04.340 Dude, I'm talking fucking lasers, bro.

01:49:06.340 Acoustic devices.

01:49:07.580 That's it.

01:49:07.980 That's long-range acoustic.

01:49:08.480 That ain't going to work on me, man.

01:49:09.880 Look at these ears.

01:49:11.120 Yeah, it's going to block out 90% of shit.

01:49:12.760 Oh, damn, yeah, bro.

01:49:14.200 That shit ain't going to work on me.

01:49:14.660 That's just almost wood on the edges, dude.

01:49:16.540 You got that wood grain exterior, boy.

01:49:18.360 That's what I'm saying, man.

01:49:19.400 That acoustic shit ain't going to work on me, buddy.

01:49:22.220 Now, Harp, do you know about that Harp stuff?

01:49:24.680 Uh-uh.

01:49:25.080 They're supposed to control the weather with it.

01:49:26.620 I believe it.

01:49:27.480 I believe they are controlling the weather and shit with it.

01:49:30.240 Man, I wouldn't be shocked, dude.

01:49:32.160 I don't know about all this Thor stuff.

01:49:33.760 I don't know what that is.

01:49:35.080 What is this?

01:49:35.660 Flying aircraft carriers?

01:49:37.760 The United States began exploring the tactical potential of airborne aircraft carriers.

01:49:42.260 That'd be sick.

01:49:43.220 You got planes flying out of a plane?

01:49:44.900 That'd be dope.

01:49:45.620 Yeah.

01:49:46.520 The future, bro.

01:49:47.620 Subliminal messaging, bro.

01:49:48.720 Go back to that, dude.

01:49:50.140 That's been going on.

01:49:51.480 That's been going on.

01:49:52.560 Subliminal messaging used extensively in advertising.

01:49:55.520 Dude, that shit happens all the time.

01:49:57.080 Yeah, that's not even no secret.

01:49:58.860 That's just a thing.

01:50:00.420 They're definitely...

01:50:01.040 Oh, I'll be thinking about some chicks or something, dude.

01:50:03.840 I'll walk outside.

01:50:04.860 Three chicks will walk by.

01:50:06.320 And I'll be like, what the fuck, dude?

01:50:09.340 I was just thinking about chicks.

01:50:12.480 That's crazy, man.

01:50:14.440 Any other questions, Nick?

01:50:15.880 I just had one.

01:50:16.820 So you signed with the UFC.

01:50:18.660 You had fights left when you signed.

01:50:20.160 Did they, like, re-sign you?

01:50:21.540 Did you think about, like, waiting it out and, like...

01:50:23.840 Because, like, PFL, they got their tournament for a million dollars.

01:50:26.700 Rory McDonald just signed with them.

01:50:28.280 Did you ever think of that as a thing?

01:50:29.840 Because I...

01:50:30.820 You could beat Lance Palmer.

01:50:32.820 Yeah.

01:50:33.800 Man, that PFL.

01:50:36.680 Man, I was in...

01:50:37.960 I was signed to WSOF when they went bankrupt and turned into PFL.

01:50:42.540 So, but my...

01:50:43.820 And I'm not here to put nobody on blast.

01:50:46.960 Everything was fine and worked out.

01:50:48.420 But my World Series of Fight and contract was going terrible, man.

01:50:51.940 They didn't find me the number of fights that they said that they would.

01:50:55.720 And they would only...

01:50:56.880 Like, Bellator offered me before I signed USC.

01:50:59.800 Bellator offered.

01:51:00.780 And WSOF wouldn't let me fight for Bellator.

01:51:04.080 So it's like I missed a Bellator opportunity.

01:51:05.960 And them fuckers wouldn't find me a fight.

01:51:07.340 They signed a contract saying they will find me four fights in two years.

01:51:11.240 Two years went by.

01:51:12.020 I only had one fight with them.

01:51:13.120 And I was begging them for fights.

01:51:15.320 Like, give me one, give me one.

01:51:16.640 And they just kept putting me on the back burner.

01:51:18.300 Like, I'm fucking...

01:51:19.700 You know, fuck you.

01:51:20.760 You know, we got other people fighting.

01:51:23.400 You know, other bigger people to worry about.

01:51:25.700 So it just pissed me off.

01:51:26.740 Well, two years goes by, that shit.

01:51:28.180 Damn.

01:51:28.760 A long time.

01:51:29.860 And, well, something wasn't going on right with that company.

01:51:33.000 Because they went under.

01:51:33.800 That was WSOF.

01:51:34.960 They went under bankrupt.

01:51:36.780 World Series of Fightin'?

01:51:37.960 Yes.

01:51:38.920 WSOF, yep.

01:51:39.460 Damn.

01:51:39.640 Yeah, it sounded like it would go under.

01:51:41.980 Yeah.

01:51:42.420 Almost.

01:51:42.940 And they went under.

01:51:43.940 Well, dude calls me and starts begging me, hey, sign over to a...

01:51:48.820 And this is after being in a contract, bad for two years, begging them for fights.

01:51:52.420 I'm never calling you, contacting you.

01:51:54.940 Mm-hmm.

01:51:55.240 And he says, he calls me one day and says, hey, man, you want to be a millionaire?

01:52:00.080 And I'm like, what's up?

01:52:02.440 You know, right?

01:52:02.920 Yeah, that's a good response.

01:52:04.600 You know, like, what's going on?

01:52:06.120 He says, well, we're doing a new tournament.

01:52:08.240 And if you just sign this new contract, you can be a millionaire.

01:52:12.440 And that's what he says word for word.

01:52:13.940 And I'm thinking, no.

01:52:17.000 Fuck this.

01:52:18.000 I'm out.

01:52:18.560 Because once a company goes under, my contract's void.

01:52:22.100 You know, and he's sitting there telling me, you could be a millionaire this time next year.

01:52:24.940 You could be a millionaire.

01:52:25.940 And sure enough, PFL is doing great.

01:52:28.840 I don't know where they're getting their money from, though.

01:52:30.720 I don't either.

01:52:31.640 I think they're going to go bankrupt, too.

01:52:33.380 But as far as right now, he was right.

01:52:36.120 Right.

01:52:36.560 He was right.

01:52:37.440 He wasn't lying.

01:52:38.260 But during that period of time, I'd already had, it was not going well.

01:52:44.100 Yeah, you'd had a bad experience with him.

01:52:45.400 And so he just calls me up one day after not calling me for months, not answering my texts and shit.

01:52:49.940 And then he says, do you want to be a millionaire?

01:52:52.480 Yeah.

01:52:52.680 And I'm just thinking, all right, it's some get rich, quick bullshit.

01:52:54.880 That's like Ed Sullivan or something.

01:52:56.200 It's like somebody bringing that big check to your house on that commercial Reader's Digest or some kind of shit.

01:53:00.660 Yeah, and so I instantly got out of that contract, and then I went to the Ultimate Fighter.

01:53:05.740 And then I signed a six fight.

01:53:07.920 To go on the Ultimate Fighter, you had to sign a six fight deal.

01:53:11.560 And so I was three fights through it.

01:53:13.900 And that's when you, I guess, typically renegotiate after about three fights or halfway.

01:53:20.160 And so that's what I've done.

01:53:21.720 And they offered me almost double, and so I took it.

01:53:24.380 You know, and yeah, I'm happy with it.

01:53:27.520 Oh, yeah.

01:53:27.820 Because even if you win that, the UFC has more exposure.

01:53:32.040 It has the most exposure out of all the, even if I would have won that million dollars, it's not as, everybody knows it's not the same as the UFC.

01:53:41.660 You know, the UFC is the best of the best.

01:53:43.740 Lance Palmer is not the best 145.

01:53:45.920 He might be the richest now, but, you know.

01:53:48.780 Do you feel good about the choices that you've made so far?

01:53:51.040 I mean, it seemed like you wait a while to take a fight.

01:53:53.260 You know, it's like, are you more anxious now to speed that up, or are you just still kind of, you know, are you still kind of set in kind of your planning and stuff?

01:54:03.000 I get, like, those premonitions about when I should fight next.

01:54:07.200 And whenever I get that feeling, that's when I'll, but I get this feeling like, okay, it's time now.

01:54:12.940 And just for whatever, I just make up my mind, and this is where I want to do it.

01:54:17.560 And, but I just feel like after that last fight, they're trying so hard to fucking push me.

01:54:23.140 They're like, and look what they've done.

01:54:25.560 And I am ready.

01:54:26.740 I'm telling you right now, I could fight any given fucking day on that, for that 145 title.

01:54:32.300 And I have the ability to win.

01:54:34.120 I don't just want to win.

01:54:35.240 I want to dominate.

01:54:36.400 I want to be at the best of my ability.

01:54:38.140 I want to do things correctly, progress, and be the best that I can be when I get there.

01:54:42.320 But if they offered to fight to me tomorrow, the title fight, yeah, I'd take it.

01:54:45.560 But what they're trying to do is rush me into some fight, like they was trying to get me to fight in February real quick, you know.

01:54:54.800 And...

01:54:55.120 Seems a little quick.

01:54:56.080 It's just a little quick, man, because the weight cuts hard on you.

01:54:59.280 You know, you lose 20 pounds in two days, and your stomach's fucked up.

01:55:03.660 You're not, you know, it's just like, just give me a...

01:55:06.580 And here's another thing about training for a specific opponent.

01:55:09.820 Like, if you're fighting somebody in two or three months, you do not develop the same as you do when you're not focused on somebody.

01:55:20.620 When you're focused on somebody, yes, you're developing, but you're more worried about continuously doing a couple things.

01:55:27.380 Because you know those...

01:55:27.920 Oh, I see what you're saying.

01:55:28.680 Yeah, of course.

01:55:29.300 Like, when I'm fighting Matt Sells, I'm not going work in my karate.

01:55:33.160 Right.

01:55:33.320 You know, I'm really not.

01:55:34.200 I'm not...

01:55:34.820 You can't train the same, because you're training for that opponent.

01:55:37.880 For that motherfucker.

01:55:38.920 And yes, you get very good at doing what you're doing, but it gets repetitious.

01:55:45.200 Yeah.

01:55:45.740 It gets repetitious.

01:55:47.080 It gets boring.

01:55:50.000 And by the time the fight gets there, you're just so fucking ready to fight the dude.

01:55:53.900 You know what you want to do.

01:55:54.900 You've been practicing it for months.

01:55:56.180 And it's like, it kind of...

01:55:59.280 And the fight is fun and everything, but just the training is fun, too.

01:56:02.840 And I like going into training knowing I can work whatever I want to work.

01:56:06.480 And that's how I believe that I develop myself.

01:56:09.300 That's how I work on my weird shit.

01:56:10.920 Yeah.

01:56:11.020 You know, that's how I get good at twisters.

01:56:12.440 That's how I get good at things that I do that a lot of other people don't.

01:56:15.700 It's because I'm relaxed in the gym.

01:56:17.420 I'm having fun.

01:56:18.400 I'm trying to challenge myself.

01:56:19.580 So if I know I'm fighting Matt Sells, I'm not going out and fucking, you know, doing things to develop myself further.

01:56:28.300 I'm more just like focusing on a few things.

01:56:30.920 Like I need to do this, this, and this, and that's going to win me this fight, get my family this fucking money.

01:56:35.100 And that's what I have to do.

01:56:36.420 Anything else, I consider like fucking around, you know?

01:56:39.140 Amen.

01:56:39.660 It's like you doing a big show, but then also going to work out at a club and you can just kind of do your thing.

01:56:44.280 You go do a show, you're like, I want to give them the best.

01:56:46.660 You always talk about it.

01:56:47.720 Yeah.

01:56:48.080 Yeah, you can practice on your own.

01:56:49.660 Same concept.

01:56:50.600 Yeah, it really is, man.

01:56:51.420 It's funny.

01:56:51.720 I thought about that.

01:56:52.400 It was like sometimes I have to, if I know I'm trained, like just doing a tour or something, you have to keep doing a lot of the same material.

01:56:57.600 And it'll evolve some.

01:56:59.000 Yeah.

01:56:59.260 But at a certain point, it does.

01:57:00.400 Some of the repetition gets to be a lot.

01:57:03.140 Whereas it's nice when you don't have to have a, like a tape in a comedy special or something or a certain tour.

01:57:09.720 And then you can just be free.

01:57:10.900 Yeah.

01:57:11.220 And your brain's free to think too.

01:57:12.520 Your brain is free.

01:57:13.180 Your brain is free.

01:57:14.180 There's nothing.

01:57:14.880 Yeah.

01:57:15.260 That's why I started.

01:57:16.360 That's why I'm in love with it.

01:57:17.400 It's because of just having the fun in the gym.

01:57:20.380 It's like a reset for me.

01:57:22.000 If I, you know, no matter what's going on, I go in the gym and I have some fun.

01:57:25.820 It's like it releases these chemicals, you know, you feel all good, relax.

01:57:29.520 Your buddies are there.

01:57:30.260 And that's why I love to do it, you know.

01:57:32.540 Amen, man.

01:57:33.200 The money, some of the money that you made, you guys, or what are you guys doing with it?

01:57:37.940 I'm, I invested in, I got two LLCs.

01:57:40.720 Dang, bro.

01:57:41.240 I got some, got a little bit of rent houses going, just trying to do, you know, and they won't pay themselves off for another 10, 15 years.

01:57:48.660 But that's for when I'm retired, you know.

01:57:50.500 Yeah.

01:57:50.680 Uh, so one day, hopefully them rent houses will pay themselves off.

01:57:55.380 Uh, one of my teachers, he's a, he's a financial advisor.

01:57:59.700 I'm probably going to, you know, give him some money, put in some stocks.

01:58:03.160 Mm-hmm.

01:58:03.840 Uh, just because it's like a passive form of income, I don't have to monitor it.

01:58:07.780 You know, I pay him a fee and he fucking does all of it.

01:58:10.300 Mm-hmm.

01:58:10.920 So I'm going to do a little bit of that.

01:58:13.000 And, uh, so those are some of my investments.

01:58:17.520 And, uh, then I'm going to just going to build a little place, like a metal house, like a pole barn.

01:58:23.680 Mm-hmm.

01:58:23.900 I'm building one at my place.

01:58:25.300 And then that's going to be able to store.

01:58:27.100 For what, like a cook shed or something?

01:58:28.560 No.

01:58:28.820 Uh, for the kids to stay in and for all the farming equipment.

01:58:33.200 And a, uh, training facility.

01:58:35.140 I'm putting a small gym at my place.

01:58:37.400 So, like, I won't be able to do, like, everything that you do at a regular gym and, you know

01:58:42.180 what I'm saying?

01:58:42.580 But if I just want to have one or two buddies over or three buddies over, we could train

01:58:46.300 right there in my garage.

01:58:47.320 Oh, that'd be nice.

01:58:47.700 And so I'll be training at my own place three, four, or five times a week now.

01:58:51.540 You know, so just extra training.

01:58:53.200 I'll have all that.

01:58:53.940 And once that, that metal building gets built, I'm going to be a farmer because I've got my

01:58:58.880 equipment.

01:58:59.400 I could store things.

01:59:00.100 Right now, if I got a bunch of corn, I wouldn't fucking have anywhere to put it, dude.

01:59:03.360 I'd fill up my trailer with corn.

01:59:05.020 Yeah.

01:59:05.980 You know?

01:59:06.480 Yeah, you'd be sleeping on it.

01:59:07.800 I'd make a joke about that, but it'd be corny.

01:59:13.400 Dude, one of my favorite things was whenever the, uh, one of these cameras beeped, Nick.

01:59:17.420 It was this one.

01:59:18.060 Oh, that's okay.

01:59:18.540 Cool.

01:59:19.200 Um, one of my favorite things was sometime whenever the combine, we would run the combine

01:59:23.060 through, like, the, uh, through the fields, you know, and going and jumping in all that

01:59:27.440 corn when it was filled up in there, man.

01:59:30.100 It was fucking awesome.

01:59:31.100 Mm-hmm.

01:59:31.840 Emptying out into these big, like, just, like, uh, basically, I guess they're, like,

01:59:35.560 uh, what is, like, uh, like a thing you put on the back of a 18-wheeler or something,

01:59:42.140 you know?

01:59:42.420 Mm-hmm.

01:59:42.640 And it's, like, the top's open, and we just get in there and fucking just sit in there

01:59:45.780 and all that corn, and it smells like bread.

01:59:47.320 It smells like fresh-baked bread when you get in there.

01:59:50.500 Um, and your lady, everything good with the lady?

01:59:54.260 Everything's good to go, brother.

01:59:55.940 That's awesome, man.

01:59:56.880 And she has a couple of children, right?

01:59:58.420 Yeah, she's got two kids.

01:59:59.860 Uh, everything couldn't be any better.

02:00:02.460 And, yeah, it's going good.

02:00:04.200 Nice, man.

02:00:05.800 Cool, man.

02:00:06.540 Well, um, we just want to thank you for coming on.

02:00:09.380 Anything else you have?

02:00:10.360 That's it.

02:00:10.760 That's it for me.

02:00:11.560 Yeah.

02:00:11.900 Thank you so much, Bryce Mitchell, man.

02:00:13.640 Thank you, brother.

02:00:13.660 Best of luck to you.

02:00:14.540 Thank you very much, my brother.

02:00:15.000 And we'll be cheering you on, brother.

02:00:16.320 Thank you so much, man.

02:00:16.940 I gotta take a piss, like, great.

02:00:18.240 Do you?

02:00:18.820 Yeah, do piss wherever you want, dude.

02:00:20.520 Yeah.

02:00:21.420 You're Bryce Mitchell.

02:00:22.720 Now I'm just falling on the breeze, and I feel I'm falling like these leaves I must be.

02:00:29.380 Cornerstone

02:00:31.620 Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found I can feel it in my bones

02:00:42.500 But it's gonna take a little time

02:00:48.160 For me to set that parking brake and let myself unwind

02:00:54.840 Shine that light on me

02:00:58.840 I'll sit and tell you my stories

02:01:04.760 Shine on me

02:01:09.500 And I will find a song

02:01:13.700 I will sing it just for you

02:01:17.160 And now I've been moving way too fast

02:01:24.640 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jonathan Kite, and welcome to Kite Club, a podcast where I'll be sharing thoughts on things like current events, stand-up stories, and seven ways to pleasure your partner.

02:01:42.720 The answer may shock you.

02:01:44.020 Sometimes I'll interview my friends.

02:01:46.500 Sometimes I won't.

02:01:48.020 And as always, I'll be joined by the voices in my head.

02:01:50.860 You have three new voice messages.

02:01:54.140 A lot of people are talking about Kite Club.

02:01:56.780 I've been talking about Kite Club for so long. Longer than anybody else. So great.

02:02:01.980 Hey, sweetie, here's a deal. Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker.

02:02:09.280 I think Tom Hanks just butt-dialed me.

02:02:21.520 Anyway, first rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club. Second rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club. Third rule. Like and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. Or watch us on YouTube, yeah?

02:02:35.240 And yes, don't worry. My Brad Pitt impression will get better.
