00:01:42.760
why don't you go first? Oh, hey, my name is Dan Nitro Clark. I used to do a television show
00:01:48.200
called American Gladiators. I've just had a very fun documentary series on Netflix called Muscles
00:01:55.580
of Mayhem that thanks to everyone's support was number one in the United States, debuted it. And
00:02:01.880
I'm with my good friend here. I'm Lori Fetrick. I played Ice on the American Gladiators. I have
00:02:07.800
a podcast called Chillin' with Ice. And yes, the Muscles of Mayhem documentary was amazing.
00:02:14.220
It was great. Oh, my God. It was awesome. So thanks for having us. Well, thank you guys for
00:02:19.600
coming. And I think you both are underselling yourselves a little bit because, I mean, Dan,
00:02:23.600
there's certainly you have a lot more achievements than just having been a Gladiator. And of course,
00:02:29.660
the documentary was incredibly successful. But and you too, Ice, we can get into that. Or just
00:02:34.040
point of clarification. Do you guys prefer Dan and Lori or Nitro, Ice, whatever? Whatever comes out of
00:02:41.580
your mouth. Okay. All right. There we go. Madison, do you want to introduce yourself? My name is
00:02:46.660
Madison. I am 18 years old. I guess I'm the now co-host. For today. For today. You're on probation.
00:02:53.560
Okay. Okay. For today, I'm the co-host of the Whatever Podcast. I'm also a student at Santa Barbara
00:02:58.960
City College studying accounting and business as well as a host at a bar. Lovely. Okay, cool. So
00:03:05.280
before we kind of get into it, what's your guys' current relationship status? So are you single,
00:03:12.560
talking stage, situationship, friends with benefits, relationship, married, polycule,
00:03:17.460
sex cult, any of the above? Damn. There's quite a few. How long have you been, if you're single,
00:03:25.300
how long have you been single? Or how long have you been in a relationship? And what's your
00:03:29.480
longest relationship? So right now, I live with a fantastic woman. We raise her son together. We've
00:03:37.580
both been married before. So at this point, after seven years, we have decided not to get married.
00:03:45.160
But we still talk about it. I think once you've been married, you kind of know what the deal is. You
00:03:51.040
know that there is a 65 to 70% failure rate in Southern California. So why are you going to buy
00:03:59.680
into a failing institution if you've already done it? Your car is broke. It breaks down. Why would you
00:04:05.580
go buy that car again? So no, not married, but very, very happy, probably for the first time in my life
00:04:12.860
with 100% with one woman. And sorry for all the women before that. I just said I wasn't happy with
00:04:20.940
one woman. But yeah, that's my status right now. And you've been with her for how long? You said
00:04:26.160
seven years with your friend? She knows exactly. But let's say it's seven or eight years, somewhere
00:04:30.360
in that ball hood. Because there was the, how do you call it, the hanging and banging days,
00:04:34.600
you know, and then, you know, gradually you progress into a very meaningful and substantial
00:04:39.760
relationship. Okay. Did you fall asleep on that? I did. No, I was captivated. I was captivated.
00:04:46.100
And you said at one point, though, you were previously married. Is that correct?
00:04:49.980
Yeah, I was married for about five years. Five years. So I look, I wanted to see what it was. So I
00:04:55.640
was a guy who grew up and, you know, to me, women were fun. And when they stopped being fun, I just
00:05:03.100
found new fun. And as I started to get through my 20s, I felt like this thing inside that wasn't
00:05:10.520
fulfilled. So I've always heard about true love. This is what true love, it's happiness, the movies,
00:05:15.560
the books, the commercials. They tell you true love is where happiness is. So I said, I'm going
00:05:20.180
to try it. So I found a girl and I tried it. And it was a social experiment that lasted about three
00:05:28.040
years. And we ended up total, I think it was five years. But I do have a son from a previous
00:05:32.820
relationship. Right. Yeah. Do you have any other kids or just the one? I have the stepson who lives
00:05:38.060
with us now. He's fantastic. Okay. In one step. Yeah. My son, Tyler, he's a great kid. He lives
00:05:42.960
in Portugal and it was an accident. His mother told me that she couldn't get pregnant.
00:05:48.860
I read that in your book. Yes. I read Teresa, right? Yeah. Yeah. Just bring it out there.
00:05:54.900
Yeah. It's in the book. Yeah. It's in the book. Yeah. So she said she couldn't get pregnant,
00:06:00.180
but it was like the biggest head fake because it wasn't like, you know, I'm on the pill. It wasn't
00:06:04.960
any of that. It was like, I do not ovulate. And I'm 23 years old at the time. And she was 28. And
00:06:11.480
I figured, okay, she doesn't ovulate. It's okay. Go ahead, fire away. And then about six months down
00:06:16.720
the road, she says to me, oh my God, it's a miracle of God. And neither of us are religious.
00:06:22.060
She says, a miracle of God, I'm pregnant. And I'm like, how can you get pregnant? You don't even
00:06:26.400
ovulate. And then she said something to me that I'll never forget. And she said, well, either it's a
00:06:31.960
miracle of God, or you have very strong sperm. And I was like, yeah, 23. I've got strong sperm.
00:06:40.740
Later, as I got to know her, I realized that I was a big, dumb, muscular idiot who fell for the
00:06:48.380
oldest trick in the book. But out of that, I got a fantastic son who I love to death.
00:06:55.000
I think she, I didn't have any money at the time. So I know it wasn't for the money. And like,
00:06:59.500
I'm a, I'm a half breed. So I don't know if it was for the genetics. I don't know what happened.
00:07:04.860
I don't know how that happened. I don't know why she'd do that. But yeah, the,
00:07:08.540
the strong sperm line just, I mean, is that possible? You don't ovulate that they could
00:07:16.160
Hey, FDG. Thank you for the 50 gifted memberships. I think she, I spoke with her. She's going to
00:07:23.480
actually be gifting 30, uh, 50 memberships every 30 minutes. So if you guys want to stay tuned and
00:07:28.860
get it, grab yourselves a membership, uh, wait, so, okay. She, Teresa, uh, you have to say her name.
00:07:34.980
Do you have to say her name? Oh, we'll call her, uh, my son's mother, baby mama. Okay. Uh, baby mama.
00:07:40.940
Yeah. Baby mama. Sorry. It was in the book. So, you know, I read, I read the book, but, uh, she, uh,
00:07:46.520
did she ever try to collect child support from you or what? She did for 18 years. Oh, really? Uh,
00:07:51.900
yeah. Yeah. Cause, cause I had read in the book that she, she, I mean, you were, you were younger.
00:07:57.920
I think you were, was it 23? 22. I was 22 and she was in her thirties. She was 28. Okay. 29. Yeah.
00:08:03.760
Six, six, seven years old. Yeah. And it sounded like she was doing fairly, like she had a career,
00:08:09.260
she was making her own money. You were living with her and here you are a young guy who it sounded like
00:08:15.480
at the time you weren't really, you're kind of scraping by and then she, for her to come after
00:08:21.140
for child support seems. Well, you know what it, look, it's my responsibility. It's my son,
00:08:26.400
you know, as, as men, we need to take care regardless of who owns, who has more money,
00:08:31.240
who doesn't matter as, as a man or as a woman, you need to take care of your offspring.
00:08:35.120
And it took me a while to learn that when I first had him, I was playing football over in Italy.
00:08:39.620
And, um, you know, I just got a call in the middle of the night, you have a son. I said,
00:08:43.100
Oh, is he healthy? Great. Click. And that was it. Then I got home and she did the smartest thing
00:08:47.960
because I got home from Italy. I'd gone out and I partied and she called me and it was, uh, like
00:08:53.080
seven in the morning and I'd been up all night and I said, Oh God, I'm so hung over, you know,
00:08:57.420
don't come over. Just, you know, I'll see my son later. Cause he was six months old at the time.
00:09:01.520
And then she actually brought him to my father's house and said, this is your son. And, you know,
00:09:07.820
when I held him for the first time, you know, then it was such a, you know, uh, overwhelming
00:09:15.660
experience to realize that I'd created life. And I decided at that moment, this is my boy,
00:09:21.740
you know, I have to take care of him. And, um, you know, I did for, I have since then.
00:09:27.320
Yeah. It's beautiful. Gotcha. Uh, Lori, what about you?
00:09:30.220
Dude, that was, that was long. I forgot the question already.
00:09:38.380
So the question was, what's your current relationship status? Are you single? You're
00:09:49.400
in a relationship? Um, yeah, I've been with my girlfriend about, um, 13 years now, 13
00:09:55.720
years. Longest is 14 years with a different relationship. Exactly. With a guy or a girl,
00:10:03.540
girl, girl, all my relationships with girls have been like, let's go seven, 10, 13. Yeah.
00:10:12.500
I'm called a lifer, I guess. A lifer. Okay. There you go. Um, and so are you, do you, do you consider
00:10:18.360
yourself bi or are you lesbian? I dated guys all three, all through high school. And so all through
00:10:24.400
high school dating guys. And then I was around 25, 26 ish meant this one girl realized, admitted it to
00:10:32.400
myself, I was like, holy shit, I'm gay. This girl's hot. I'm in love with her. And it just kind of
00:10:38.960
like, that's, it's, it's really come into terms with who you are, you know, especially if you're
00:10:44.940
gay, lesbian, whatever it may be, bisexual, love men. I love them. I just don't connect with you guys.
00:10:52.640
So it's just been women since then. Um, yeah. I mean, I've,
00:10:56.780
Oh, did I do that? I'm sorry. Did I do that? All right. Now the game is on. Um, um, yeah. I mean,
00:11:08.560
relationship wise, if we're talking relationships, yes, they've all been with women. Um, sex, a little
00:11:14.580
different story, but you know, yes. Okay. So if you were to categorize yourself, sort of, sort of bi,
00:11:21.700
kind of bi, um, I'm gay, I'm gay. I'm in with, you know, romantically, romantically, you're only
00:11:30.620
interested in women, but for casual, a guy every once in a while is, uh, all right, we can go
00:11:38.460
there. Yeah. Why not? Yeah. Okay. I used to, I used to laugh and say, I have my yearlies. Okay. Dan
00:11:45.440
keeps wondering when he's going to be my yearly, which, so I guess the question here is how long
00:11:52.080
do you have to go as far as a time period without penis before you become, I don't think you can
00:11:59.100
answer that. Okay. You can't answer that. No, it's, it doesn't work that way. Does it kind of just like
00:12:04.040
happen? It doesn't work that way. It's, it's who you're attracted to in the moment. I always said
00:12:09.160
that I had the best of both worlds because I'm attracted to both, but mentally I'm attracted to
00:12:14.200
women. Sure. You know, cause I have that connection. Um, but then sometimes they just
00:12:19.200
talk too much. I have that guy mentality, you know, it's like, I do sometimes it's like, Oh my God,
00:12:25.760
shut up. You know? Um, but with me, it's, it's interesting because yeah, on, on one level, it's
00:12:33.860
like my, my brain is like a guy's brain. It's like, I can do a one and done. And a lot of girls
00:12:40.240
can't, you know, but that's, am I right? Yeah, that's very, very true. Well, you can do a one
00:12:45.500
and done with both the female and a male. If that's who attracted you, it doesn't matter.
00:12:49.800
Absolutely. Oh, wow. I can't do that. Yeah, you can. You've done that your whole life. What
00:12:54.240
are you talking about? Except your current, except your current relationships. No. So
00:12:57.840
this relationship has been seven to eight years before that the relationship was 12 years. So
00:13:03.420
as I get older, I get slower. All right. So this is when I knew him during gladiators. Let's
00:13:07.240
go here then. Okay. Wait, so you've done it with men and women? No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:13:12.500
Just meaning he's a one and done. I'll go there with him. No, I'm saying when he was, I knew
00:13:19.920
him as a gladiator. Definitely. Now, since he's in relationships, no, obviously he is the
00:13:25.100
committed man. I'm tamed. I'm tamed. You are tamed. Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, it's, I can't
00:13:36.660
even explain it. I don't know what happens, you know, where you go from womanizing and
00:13:42.580
getting a lot of, um, self-satisfaction, but not only self-satisfaction, you get a sense
00:13:49.680
of self-esteem. A lot of times when I was younger, it was all about the girl that I was with.
00:13:55.740
And if she was hot, you know, and the guys are like, bro, how did you get that? I felt
00:13:59.860
good. She was feeding your ego. Yeah. Well, yeah, she was in a way that your bros would
00:14:06.180
respond. Dude, how did you go out with her? Oh my God, you're with that girl. And it really
00:14:10.620
filled me up as a man. Like, Hey, look at me. You know, I got this very attractive girl
00:14:14.520
and then it just didn't. It's, you know, I guess the thing is like, you know, a Ferrari
00:14:21.180
after you have a Ferrari for a long enough time, it just becomes a car. You know what I mean?
00:14:28.680
So are you settling with your Ferrari? Is that what you're telling me? Yeah, I have
00:14:31.740
a Ferrari. Kim's a Ferrari, you know? And I'm, uh, yeah. And it's just, it seems like
00:14:37.760
it's enough. Look, I always said, um, I, I come to, I came to realize that as a young
00:14:42.340
man, I was very easy for an attractive girl to get, but I was really hard to hold
00:14:47.780
on to. And why was it hard to hold on to? Cause he was a whore. No, it's because you, you
00:14:55.800
may call it that way, but there was nothing of substance to me as a man. I was all smoking
00:15:01.100
mirrors, you know, it was muscles. It was, believe it or not, a lot of long hair and it
00:15:06.200
was flash, but the inner substance of who I was and what I believed in and what I stood
00:15:11.900
for wasn't there. And so I was easy to get, but I was hard to hold onto.
00:15:16.800
But do you, do you think that could have also possibly been that none of the women
00:15:21.800
that you were involved with really caught your eye? Not, I'm not speaking strictly physical
00:15:28.720
appearance, but just maybe the, they weren't bringing something to the table when it came
00:15:33.760
to their personality or. What about commonality? Did you have things in common? Absolutely.
00:15:38.680
I mean, did you look for that? Look, here's my, I dated a lot of really fantastic women.
00:15:43.300
I dated intelligent women, career women, you know, actresses, models. I dated tons of
00:15:51.740
different women and some, so many were fantastic. It didn't matter. It could have been the perfect
00:15:56.980
girl, the perfect partner. But if you're not ready at that time, it doesn't work later when
00:16:03.700
you're ready, the less perfect person can come and then you will grab onto that person because
00:16:11.700
that's what you want in your life. So to answer your question directly, Brian, they were, they
00:16:15.360
were fantastic. They clicked all the boxes. It was just me. I was, you know, I was, I was
00:16:21.100
in Hollywood. I was young. Yeah. Hey, look, you're at the time of your life.
00:16:26.220
If no, but if you look and you read my book ladder, like you'll did, you'll know that I
00:16:30.860
was, um, I don't know what the word is, sexualized at a very young age. When I was 10 years old,
00:16:36.700
I was living in Asia and my dad owned a restaurant and he had prostitutes in his restaurant. So I was
00:16:42.700
a 10 year old boy walking, running around with prostitutes, you know, T girls, Asian girls chasing
00:16:48.560
him saying, Hey, you know, can I pop your cherry? Hey, can I do this? And so I saw sex at a very
00:16:55.100
young age in a different way. And my father was also a horrible womanizer, you know, so many different
00:17:00.620
women cheating. And I thought that's just what you did. That was normal. So anybody who I met
00:17:06.620
from 18 to 28 in that normal got to feel that wrath of what and who my father was expressed through me
00:17:15.620
until you get to be a certain age, you know, men and women, do you usually start to find your own
00:17:20.800
identity and say, this is who I am and this is how I want to be. And some people don't, but for me,
00:17:25.280
it was a real awakening when I had, you know, a lot of different women, I had money, I had fame.
00:17:34.340
But I, you know, was partying all the time and I wasn't happy.
00:17:38.440
What kind of made you realize that you weren't being as fulfilled, just womanizing anymore?
00:17:45.220
Was there any specific thing that kind of happened in your life that made you just feel unfulfilled?
00:17:50.460
You know, I, I know it sounds, it's hard for people to understand, you know, to think like
00:17:57.080
you can, you know, you have like beautiful girls and not be happy. You know what I mean? It's just
00:18:02.080
like, what dude, if I had those girls, if I had, you know, whoever it was, I would be a hat. Are you
00:18:06.960
kidding me? Yeah. But, and I feel like almost, uh, you know, stupid for, you know, talking about
00:18:15.300
this, uh, because, um, it's such a high class problem. Oh my God, poor guy. He's got hot chicks.
00:18:22.320
But like I said earlier, it, it made me feel a certain way getting a new growth and being with
00:18:29.220
a new girl and having that conquest, it built a certain kind of happiness and esteem until it
00:18:34.960
didn't. And then at the height of gladiators, when, you know, I was partying a lot, uh, I started
00:18:41.400
to wake up in the mornings high out of my mind on the floor, spit dribbling out of my mouth.
00:18:48.120
And I was just like crying. I was just like, what are you doing? How can this be? I've got
00:18:55.640
everything. And yet, you know, it feels like nothing. And that was at the point, you know,
00:18:59.400
I kind of, yeah, you know, Madison, I raised my hand and I said, something's a little off here.
00:19:03.900
I've got everything and I'm not happy. And I, that happened a couple of times and I was just like,
00:19:10.960
whoa, this is like really, really strange. And then the last time I was riding my, uh, in my
00:19:17.560
red Jeep going down Hollywood Boulevard, you know, having a great time, sun was shining. And I had
00:19:20.880
this spontaneous, like crying burst of tears. And here I am, I'm on TV. I'm 240 pounds. I'm this big,
00:19:28.040
strong guy. I crush people for a living. And you know, I'm driving and crying for no reason.
00:19:34.540
And that's when I raised my hand and said, look, something's wrong. I need to get help. And you're
00:19:38.600
getting help, you know, therapy and asking someone for help, you know, especially back in my time was
00:19:43.180
really, really, really hard to do. So it was a, a bunch of events that led up to that point where I
00:19:50.900
said, oh, and that's when I said, you know, maybe, like I said, maybe I'll try marriage, but I wasn't
00:19:54.780
healed yet to be a good husband, to be a good partner. Yeah. That makes sense. Before we get into
00:20:00.220
some more relationship stuff, I wanted to touch a little bit, both on your backgrounds and also talk
00:20:05.560
a little bit about Gladiator. How many seasons were you both in? I did what I did.
00:20:11.220
American Gladiators. Seven, I believe. To me, you are the female version of an American Gladiator.
00:20:17.280
So to me, when I think American Gladiators, I think ice and I think zap. Yeah. So I feel like
00:20:21.860
you were always there. The show ran for eight years. And I missed the first 13 episodes.
00:20:27.140
So you came in second season. Yes. Well, kind of. Yeah, it was. It was the second season,
00:20:31.860
as a matter of fact. Gotcha. And what about you? How many seasons were you in?
00:20:35.900
Similar to her. I left over a salary dispute, over a merchandising dispute right around year four.
00:20:40.900
So I did the very first episode and then I came back to the show for a year as Nitro. And then the
00:20:46.960
last season I hosted the show. Gotcha. Didn't, I think you two grouped up for the whole, you know,
00:20:53.720
you went to Samuel Goldwyn or whatever. The merchandising. The merchandising. Yeah, exactly.
00:20:57.720
thing. But, but you, were you only kicked off for, you got fired too, right? Or. Yeah. For one season.
00:21:05.280
Oh, one season. One season. Then you came back. And then I came back and they actually,
00:21:09.120
he came back the same year as a host though. As a co-host. Okay. Got it. Got it. I wanted to compete.
00:21:15.580
I wanted to still battle. I still wanted to kick ass. And what, from what year? So I think the show
00:21:20.720
started, it was an 89. Was it? Was it 89? Was the first year 89? It was somewhere. Yeah. Somewhere in there.
00:21:26.940
Yeah. Long time ago. Long, long time ago. I want you to know there were still cell phones in.
00:21:34.060
There were cell phones in there. Yes, they were big. They were big block ones. You know what? Speaking of.
00:21:38.220
I had a, uh, Toshiba. Yep. That's it right there. That's the one. Was that the one? So that was the
00:21:45.420
one that was actually attached to your car. I got it. So this was plugged into your car. Does it
00:21:51.420
actually still work? You want to? No. No, I don't think so. Actually, it does turn on if you plug it
00:21:58.460
in. I don't think you, you know what? Maybe if you, I don't know. I know we're, it's still dating
00:22:04.600
ourselves. It's like, we didn't have the cell phones. We didn't have the social media.
00:22:07.420
Uh, we didn't have, you know, all of that when it comes to the smartphones and filming
00:22:11.980
and did you kind of appreciate that a little more though, now that you've, you know, it's
00:22:17.380
interesting because of the fact that I think that if we had it, it would have been dangerous,
00:22:21.500
especially on tour, I would say. Yeah. So we went on a tour across America. Uh, we went
00:22:27.980
and did 120 cities. So you packed up, um, 10 gladiators, you know, full of youth vitality,
00:22:36.040
the, uh, vigor, horniness, testosterone, testosterone. You put us on a bus and you said,
00:22:42.180
you're going to go to Madison square garden. You're going to go, you know, to 120 cities
00:22:46.540
across America. So we were like rock and roll stars, except for we would kick the shit out
00:22:52.780
of you. It was awesome. Were you guys doing shows pretty much every, it sounded like from
00:22:58.260
the documentary almost every day. We were doing it every day. I mean, I think that, um, in our
00:23:02.820
contract we had to do, we did like, uh, four days straight and then they have to, they had
00:23:06.840
to give us like two days off. Right. You know, and it seemed like those two days off we were
00:23:10.360
traveling. So it wasn't really like the two days off. You're still kind of working. Absolutely.
00:23:14.160
Yeah. Okay. And, uh, so 120 cities, um, in the documentary for the tour, it sounded like
00:23:23.340
you guys were compensated a little better than during the actual show. So you guys were getting
00:23:28.740
paid, if I'm understanding very little for the actual show is that. Oh yeah. I mean,
00:23:33.980
when I came on, my contract was for 21 shows and I think that year I made a whopping 20
00:23:41.700
grand. I want to say something. Yeah. It was like something ridiculous, you know? Um, even
00:23:48.180
though it was, we were, we were in the union, but we were in the union at AFTRA before the
00:23:52.780
two unions actually merged. Exactly. So I, when I came in, my contract was on the bottom
00:23:58.280
end of the AFTRA scale. So I think it was something like, to be honest with you, maybe
00:24:03.220
five, five 50 a show, something along those lines. But I mean, back in the nineties, it
00:24:10.180
was one of the biggest shows on TV. There wasn't like, do you guys know how many, it was like
00:24:15.480
10 million viewers. I don't know. Do you know how much, I don't even know the numbers on
00:24:18.780
it. A shit ton. It was a lot. Yeah. How many viewers and you look up in the ratings, it
00:24:24.200
says shit ton. A lot. Um, as far as when you got paid for the tour, it was, uh, you
00:24:32.220
guys were getting paid. Was it 5,000 per week on maybe? I think that was maybe Dan was probably
00:24:37.820
making more, but we were, we were making, yes, he's laughing about this. He was him and
00:24:43.220
him and Jim and I were actually, because I think you guys actually created something to
00:24:47.740
where it's you two got more money than the most of us because you were like the captains
00:24:52.660
of the team. And so you were keeping us together. Correct. We didn't create that. The guy who
00:24:57.400
did the tour, who also did, you know, the Ringo star tour and a bunch of other cool, cool
00:25:01.960
tours, David Fishaw. He came to the two of us who we thought were the most important people
00:25:06.780
he had to have supply and demand star power. He said, nitro Gemini. I want you guys. And
00:25:12.440
he said, when I get you guys, everybody else will fall in. What's it going to take per week
00:25:16.300
to do the deal? And you know, they, that's how it is. They fill your ego. They say, you're
00:25:20.200
the most important. You're beautiful. You're going to be famous. You know, that kind of
00:25:23.420
thing. And yeah, we fell for it and we took the five grand a week and I'm not sure what
00:25:27.460
everybody else got paid. No, I think we were around the same. Okay. We just thought he was
00:25:31.620
getting like eight. Okay. No, that was the cash that I haven't reported yet. Got it. Oh, there
00:25:37.680
we go. And so the tour, uh, do you guys know, uh, did you hit pretty much every state almost,
00:25:44.120
maybe besides like Alaska or almost Hawaii? I think we all, yeah, almost we did. We didn't
00:25:49.680
hit, we didn't hit Hawaii. We didn't hit Alaska. I would say, well, 126 cities, 126 cities,
00:25:56.280
including Madison square garden, but not Alaska, not hot Hawaii. I was just looking there and
00:26:00.740
someone said, Madison, they don't, they said that, uh, you were still in your dad's, you
00:26:05.340
know, what, when the show was going on, but do they know?
00:26:09.600
He actually is my father. So yeah, I don't know if the guys know that that's, that's how
00:26:17.900
we were able to book them. Yeah. It's actually familial. Yeah. The daughter. So I was, and
00:26:24.440
so usually my mouth is much more free with the words I'm saying. It's kind of awkward
00:26:29.880
with you here right now. I have to say, yeah, it's a little awkward. Be free. It's okay.
00:26:36.580
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. Okay. On that note. On that note. Um, so, uh, I want
00:26:47.500
to go back a little bit, uh, background stuff here. So Dan, uh, you played college football
00:26:52.900
at, was it San Jose state, right? Uh, can I tell you why I picked San Jose state? Yeah. Two
00:26:58.660
reasons. They had a great damn football team, but at that time we were voted in the top 10
00:27:04.200
party schools in America. It was like San Diego state, San Jose state. And I went up there
00:27:11.040
to San Jose, which now is, you know, um, Silicon Valley, much, much different than it was when
00:27:15.480
I went up there. When I went up there, it was this old beaten downtown and I came from Orange
00:27:20.260
County, California. And when I went up there, it was nighttime. And they, I don't know if
00:27:23.840
you guys know that, you know, like when they recruit a football player, they take them on
00:27:26.940
trips. They hook you up with cheerleaders. They walk you around campus. Everything I saw was
00:27:31.660
at night. And I go, this is a great town. And, um, I decided to go there. I got a scholarship.
00:27:36.820
I went back up the first day there. I'm walking outside my dorm and a homeless woman lifts her
00:27:41.860
dress up and pees on in front of me. And I'm like, I remember running into the dorm, calling
00:27:46.620
my dad. I said, dad, a woman just peed on the street. You know, I, I can't go to school
00:27:51.560
here. Um, but I ended up, um, sticking it out and it ended up being quite a party school.
00:27:56.540
I joined a frat Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Sig up. Is that six? Is it Sig up or Sigma Alpha
00:28:02.600
Epsilon? Well, they're short. They call it Sig up now. You guys are so trendy. You guys
00:28:06.580
are short. LOL. LOL. LOL. Be right back. Right. All these things that you guys do on your devices.
00:28:13.540
I think there's a Sig up here at UCSB. Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Excuse me. Sigma. I think
00:28:20.880
it is worthy of saying the whole word. I believe there's a Sigma Alpha Epsilon here
00:28:28.140
at UCSB. It's maybe knock on the door and be like, Hey, what's up? I'm one of your, no,
00:28:32.040
you can't do that. I'm a bro. They would let me in. Oh, they would. Yeah. You guys, there's
00:28:35.420
like a handshake, right? That, do you still know the handshake? Of course I know the handshake.
00:28:38.760
Of course he knows. I know the sign. I can't tell you. It's secret. It's very secretive.
00:28:43.420
It's like that number seven on your collar. I don't know what that means. You don't know what it
00:28:46.760
is. It makes me want to punch you seven times. Oh, fuck. Oh shit. Good time. Okay. Uh, well
00:28:51.560
maybe, maybe this will be the show people find out. Um, so you played college football. You were
00:28:55.780
in a fraternity. Uh, you graduated from San Jose. Uh, and then you became, was this before college?
00:29:01.880
You became a bouncer. Is that correct? At the nightclub? Yes. Okay. And that's where you met
00:29:06.300
your, uh, son's mother, son's mother and, uh, baby mama, baby mama, Teresa. And, uh, when it comes
00:29:13.180
to dating, it was your first, my understanding from the book, it was your first night working.
00:29:17.920
Your very first night working. You met Teresa. I met Teresa. It was an 18 and older bar. Yeah.
00:29:24.700
You know, they could come in and she, I love your hat by the way. Thank you. I love that hat. What
00:29:29.160
does it represent? It is actually a German soldier helmet from world war one. So does mom know you have
00:29:38.660
that on? When's the first time you put that hat on? Hmm. It's been, it's been a while. I think.
00:29:45.340
Does mom know? Do you wear it every show? She does not know. I do wear it every show.
00:29:49.300
It's, it's kind of her calling card. It's my thing. Yeah. Yeah. It's my old prop. You want to wear it,
00:29:54.100
don't you, Dan? Well, no, I just. You know what? We do have, we have more than one if you'd like to
00:29:57.900
join in on the fun. Oh, he's kind of, that's kind of weird. Father, daughter. That's kind
00:30:02.860
of weird. You remember, I never liked you calling me daddy. Oh, call me dad. Big daddy.
00:30:10.700
Father. What about father? Father's fine, but don't call me daddy. That's weird. Okay. I don't
00:30:15.200
think I've ever called my father daddy. Yeah. So back to San Jose State. And on that note.
00:30:21.820
Um, yeah, no. So you, uh, you're working at a nightclub as a bouncer and that was before
00:30:29.020
or after college? It was right after college. I was trying to get on with the football team.
00:30:32.520
I was working at a bouncer, 18 and over bar. Uh, she walks in, she's 28 trying to fit in
00:30:37.420
with 18 year olds. That should tell you everything you need to know about her. And, um, yeah,
00:30:43.700
we, uh, hooked up. Um, and then I got a beautiful son. It's a short version. There you go.
00:30:49.440
And then at, from there you went to Italy to play in the Italian football league, which
00:30:56.020
and that's a American football league in Italy, which I didn't even know was a thing until
00:31:01.200
I read the book. Um, and Nick, maybe if you want to pull up the Wikipedia just to give people
00:31:06.840
a little context, but, uh, so you went to, to Italy and you played for just one season
00:31:11.820
in Italy. Is that yo FDG? Thank you for the 50 gifted memberships. Yeah. We'll do a little
00:31:19.120
salute there. Um, yeah. So it's the Italian football league and they play American football.
00:31:24.940
Cause I know like when you think of, I guess at Europe, you think of football, you think
00:31:29.200
of soccer. So I'm probably going to get a few Europeans upset for that one. But, um, and
00:31:36.780
you played for one, one season in Italy. Is that right? Yeah. So they're played American
00:31:41.060
football in Italy. They've been doing it for quite a few years. Um, they actually have a
00:31:45.280
European league as well. And then the NFL had a league over there, uh, called the world
00:31:48.900
football league, what they tried out for, you know, for me, uh, my son's mother was
00:31:53.580
pregnant. Um, I'm 22 years old. I don't want to have a kid. And the opportunity comes up
00:32:01.720
on a Tuesday from a buddy of mine, Bobby Frasco who played football at San Jose state with
00:32:05.560
me. He says, Hey, I can get you a job over in Italy, three Americans per team. Do you want
00:32:09.060
to come play American football? And I was like, yeah. And I left on Saturday and it was a
00:32:14.640
fantastic experience. There's a great John Grisham book called playing for pizza, which
00:32:18.900
doesn't chronicle my journey, but it chronicles an American football player's journey in Italy.
00:32:24.080
And look, you practice two days a week. You had games on Saturdays and you're pounding
00:32:29.800
pasta, but then just think about Italy. They have a very, very, no, it's really weird.
00:32:36.760
I know where it's going. They have a very like strong transsexual pop, not strong, not like
00:32:43.660
a lift, but it's a large transsexual population, which act as sex workers and models that are
00:32:57.160
in Italy. I just thought I would share that with you in case you ever go to Italy, Brian
00:33:03.180
Not, not really my thing, you know, but I don't know until you try it.
00:33:07.420
I don't know if there will be a try. I don't know if there will be a try, but, uh, I appreciate
00:33:11.860
you looking out for me. Uh, but so did you, you encountered, did you encounter, did you
00:33:17.880
participate? Did you participate? Was there, I encountered. So the way that clubs work and
00:33:24.600
I was right outside of Milan, which was the, you know, model capital of the world, the fashion
00:33:28.740
capital of the world, Giorgio Armani and the clubs are these huge, huge warehouses and they
00:33:35.020
just go on and they rage and it's like a party. And the first night I'm there, I look over and I,
00:33:40.620
I see this fantastic looking women, woman, and she's like, you know, five foot 10 and
00:33:46.200
she's walking around in, in a bra and, uh, what are the garters and boosty and high heels
00:33:51.820
walking around the club like this. And I look at my guys telling guys, Oh, that girl. I mean,
00:33:55.800
she's amazing. They're like, no, no, no, no, that's not a girl. And I'm like, what are you
00:34:02.260
kidding me? And her name was Paula, not Paul, but Paula. And she was actually a famous fashion
00:34:08.760
model. She was on the cover of the magazines. It was something that, you know, back there
00:34:12.960
in Italy was very, they're very comfortable with it. It wasn't, you know, um, it wasn't
00:34:18.500
controversial, controversial, right. They're like, they put them on, they put her, her,
00:34:23.140
I guess it's, I get so confused on magazine covers. And, uh, I ended up, you know, becoming
00:34:28.680
friendly with her and, and it was, um, interesting. How friendly, when you, when you, yeah, when
00:34:35.840
you say how friendly, what are we, what are we talking about here? Come on, Dan, give
00:34:39.420
it up. No, I never tested the waters. Come on. Okay. Okay. But I, let's say I saw the goods,
00:34:45.720
but I never tested the waters and, um, yeah, I, I can tell you for a fact, at least from
00:34:54.180
my singular observation, because she would walk around in this garter, like with no panties
00:35:00.040
on. And, you know, I think one day, one of the guys said, Hey, let me see what it looks
00:35:08.560
like. And she, you know, she didn't care. She did. And it looked normal. It looked normal.
00:35:15.300
It looked normal. No, because they had the operation. Okay. Okay. So she, she got the,
00:35:21.200
the, the goods removed and got the replacements. Yeah. Yeah. Look, everyone has a right to
00:35:28.440
be who they want to be. Right. And, and she was, you know, I guess, you know, before her
00:35:31.920
time and that's what she wanted to do, you know, Hey, sure. That's it's her life, you
00:35:35.320
know, and, uh, or his life. I I've never seen the post-op look. I, I've only seen it once
00:35:42.860
one time in Italy and it looked, you say, and it was dark and it was a nightclub and
00:35:47.480
it was just like, you know, I felt like a gynecologist. Oh wow. Yeah. It wasn't a, a sexual
00:35:53.420
adventure. Like, Hey baby. It was just like, Oh, let me see. Let me put my little light
00:35:57.860
on here. You know, professor. Okay. You were curious, right? Curiosity killed the cat
00:36:04.080
and it was like, no, okay. Okay. No, no, it's all good. Thank you, Paula. And you
00:36:09.040
know, I moved on. There you have it. There you have it. So you're in Italy. Um, they
00:36:13.360
have a crazy fascination with, I, that's new to me. Why I did see it in the book. I
00:36:17.700
don't think they have a clitoris. I don't think so. No, I saw someone in the chat
00:36:22.380
say giant clitoris. I don't think they have a clitoris. There, there is another story
00:36:27.900
in the book though, about that, which we will get into. So you're in Italy. Uh, can
00:36:33.620
you ask her something? Yes. I'm reading, I'm reading the comments right now. I'm laughing
00:36:37.800
my ass off. I'm asking for a friend. I'm wondering how we went from like football in
00:36:43.900
Italy to no clitoris. It's a chapter in his book. So, uh, one last thing with Italy. Uh,
00:36:52.900
so with the Italian football league, they have their kind of their own version of
00:36:57.880
the super bowl. Yeah. I'm sweating here. I don't know how you backed me into that
00:37:03.220
corner. Well, so you, you won the Italian super bowl with your football team. Is
00:37:10.260
that, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was, we had such a funny name. It was,
00:37:13.820
uh, the Bustosizio was the city that we played for us right outside of Milan. And
00:37:17.600
our name was the frogs, the Bustosizio frogs. Okay. But you know what? It was such a
00:37:23.960
great adventure, you know, to be 23 years old, to live in Italy, to get paid, to, you
00:37:29.800
know, see the country. Uh, uh, yeah, it was such a, what, what an amazing country. What
00:37:35.700
an amazing experience. What, what year was that? Was that 90? It was a long time ago.
00:37:40.800
It was, it was eighties, eighties, right? My dude, long time ago. Okay. I don't want
00:37:44.620
to date. I don't want to date anything. So did you think about doing multiple years
00:37:50.260
there? Like continuing on or was it like just a one year offer sort of? Well, so if
00:37:54.300
you played in the NFL, they made a new rule. You could not play in Italy. So I
00:37:58.440
wouldn't play in the NFL for the Rams briefly. Then I could not go back and play.
00:38:02.900
Okay. I see. Yeah. You, so pretty much as soon as you finished up in Italy, you went and
00:38:07.680
played for the LA Rams in the NFL. Yes, sir. Got it. Got it. Okay. So I'm going to, I've
00:38:14.060
asked you a bunch of questions. We have vice here. We have Lori. Um, so I do want to come
00:38:19.520
back to, let's maybe bring it back to dating for a little bit. Uh, so you mentioned, you
00:38:27.080
mentioned generally, like you're, you're almost exclusively romantically you date women, right?
00:38:33.440
So I'm curious, like, what's your type when it comes to the ladies? Good question. Someone
00:38:41.280
who's hot, who's got a great personality. Um, somebody I connect with. Got it. Do you
00:38:47.460
like, uh, do you like tall women, short women, petite women must like muscular women? Oh,
00:38:54.020
well now you're really backing me in a corner. Um, I'm not really into muscular women. Not
00:38:59.400
at all. Um, I like girl girls. Okay. I don't like masculine women. Gotcha. Um, yeah, there's
00:39:05.480
a lot of, you know, gay, lesbian women out there that, that if, if they're feminine, then
00:39:11.560
themselves, they like that real hardcore kind of dikey girl. Um, not into that, not whatsoever.
00:39:19.140
Okay. Um, not my type. Um, I always, it's interesting. I've always been super attracted to blondes,
00:39:24.900
but I've always wound up with brunettes. I don't know how that happens. Okay. Um, but
00:39:30.820
yeah, I mean, I don't necessarily, I can't really say I have a type type, but I don't
00:39:34.720
know, just, yeah, I guess I kind of do in a way, don't I? You've seen all the girls.
00:39:39.220
I think all the girls from the last few years I've seen you with, they're always very, very
00:39:43.120
attractive. And sometimes I thought that, uh, I was going to be dating a girl only to find
00:39:49.220
out this one is dating her. Oh, are you talking? Oh wait. Okay. I was thinking the, there's
00:39:55.500
a Chicago situation. Okay. We'll get to that. That wasn't the only time. So, so, so, so the
00:40:02.880
joke is, you know, who slept with the most people on the most girls on gladiators and everyone
00:40:07.120
looks to me, but it is definitely not me. I feel like you have game Lori. I do have, you've
00:40:13.640
got game. I get that impression from you. Um, so I like how Madison's nodding her head
00:40:20.040
looking at me. Oh, okay. Madison. Are you interested? Watch out Frankie. Watch out Frankie. She's
00:40:29.120
coming for you. Just too young. Um, but, uh, did you have an interest in any of the other
00:40:35.260
gladiators? Was there ever inter gladiator romance? It's interesting because I was never
00:40:40.500
attracted to any of the gladiators. Right. Cause you said you're not really into like
00:40:44.280
muscular. Yeah. The one thing though is, um, before I was on the show, I always thought
00:40:48.760
that Ray Hollett was hot. I mean, she, she was back in the day. Yeah. Okay. She was hot.
00:40:54.740
Um, but then obviously I got to know her and it wasn't the attraction went away. It was more
00:40:58.940
of, she's now my gladiator sister, you know, and I didn't look at her that way whatsoever.
00:41:03.580
But before I was on the show, I did look at her that way just a tad. Okay. Um, but it's interesting
00:41:08.880
because the game, the game comes from the chase as well, you know, and it's like when
00:41:16.600
we were on tour and it's kind of like, you know, Dan's like, how do you know when they're
00:41:20.360
gay? It's just that look, you know, it's, it's the look that the girl gives you that
00:41:25.820
you can just, you can feel it and you just know, you know? And so it's, it's kind of a
00:41:31.120
fun thing. It really is. The guys, um, the guys are going just, you know, they just go all
00:41:37.060
balls out for the girl. Boom. There is no game. I don't think so anyway. No game. I
00:41:41.160
don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Do you have game now? I don't know. I don't
00:41:49.700
think I have game anymore. You don't need game anymore. No, it was there, but it's, it's
00:41:54.900
gone. The game, he's like, it's, you know what? I just don't think I have that. I have
00:42:01.360
that need to be seen, you know, by other women. I feel pretty darn good about myself.
00:42:08.260
You know what I mean? I don't need that. Oh, is that girl checking me out? Oh, is this
00:42:11.500
girl checking me out? And, uh, yeah, I still need it. It's nice. It's nice. That's what
00:42:18.520
I'm saying. You had to have had it back then. He did. He had it, but it was more his looks
00:42:23.780
to be quite honest with you. You were saying you were getting the most attractive. Dan was
00:42:27.740
handsome. Can we get Nick, can you pull up some Google image search of, uh, Dan and
00:42:32.620
all of his ex-girlfriends? Maybe also we have a video from ice here, but, uh, but, uh, well,
00:42:38.980
you also have, I mean, you've been in a, you said seven year relationship, so, you know,
00:42:43.880
the, I don't want to have game. You got to shut it off. You got to shut it off. He does
00:42:47.600
have to shut it off. You know, it's something that game, maybe game for other women. Right.
00:42:51.640
But yeah, but you know what it is? Like for me, I've learned that if I need to be, if I
00:42:55.440
want to be committed, I got to shut it off. You know, all of a sudden I look, you know,
00:43:00.520
every woman is like my sister now, you know, I just like, no, no, no, no, no. And I, you
00:43:05.200
know, for me, you know, I have a very strong drive and everything. So I have to put blinders
00:43:13.240
on, you know, and walk and focus. And I can't even start to entertain that, you know, when
00:43:19.160
muscles and mayhem came out in Netflix, you know, ice and I, Laura and I were talking about
00:43:22.960
how our DMs blew up, you know, people, uh, I wasn't quite getting the DMs. Uh, Lori was
00:43:30.040
getting, I'll let her talk about that, but they blew up and, and I just, I just could
00:43:34.000
not let myself go down that because it's too easy to stray, especially today. It's just
00:43:41.780
too easy. And I just, I can't do it. Social media. Yeah. Yeah. I can't do it. Yeah. So
00:43:45.780
Lori had the DMs. Lori had the game. Dan had, Dan had the DMs. Tell us about your DMs,
00:43:51.940
Lori. Yeah. And just some, some context, if anybody's like just tuning in, uh, you know,
00:43:57.280
the Netflix documentary came out, I think it was number one on Netflix for at least on
00:44:02.140
my, I saw that as a number one on Netflix for a couple of weeks or something. I think
00:44:05.760
it went three weeks. The documentary was fantastic. I thought it was great. Um, and, uh, and so,
00:44:12.100
but I imagine as you guys just mentioned, there's some DMs, you guys were getting some DMs
00:44:17.560
from, but it's interesting because this is what we were talking about before. Right
00:44:21.140
when Netflix, when that hit, all of our DMs were just like going crazy on all the social
00:44:26.200
medias. And see, we didn't experience the social media back then, but now we're experiencing
00:44:32.860
it now, which is a whole different ball game because we were, it's like there was hundreds
00:44:38.220
just boom every day, just popping off. But we noticed something as the weeks went by,
00:44:43.560
they started dropping off. So it went from like, you know, hundreds a day down to 50 down
00:44:49.660
to 20 down to five. It's like, really? That's how quickly this social media makes everything
00:44:55.420
turn and burn. I mean, it is fast to where if we were back in the day and we're, you know,
00:45:01.560
not aging ourselves, but if we, if there was no social media, we would still be on Netflix
00:45:07.020
probably number one. Our, you know, we would still be like super big out there, but now
00:45:12.820
it's like next. Well, that's a really good point. Like I think people's attention spans
00:45:19.000
are very short. They're looking for the new, like the new thing back. I think, you know,
00:45:24.740
before social media, there was a bit more longevity, longevity. Absolutely. Certain things.
00:45:29.780
Well, it's not only social media, it's Netflix drops their whole season at one time. Right. So,
00:45:36.240
and when talking to them, when this was coming to be released, they don't do their marketing
00:45:40.980
until like two weeks before, because when you see something, Netflix consumers, they demand
00:45:47.160
to see the show right after they see it. So the window has gone from our show, which was
00:45:52.100
on for 26 weeks where you get 26 weeks of that, um, that push where now it's literally
00:45:59.020
you get a weekend. It was like, it's like mission impossible, right? The newest one. Yeah.
00:46:03.380
Mission impossible. It's great. Then Barbie came out mission who, you know, one week later.
00:46:07.440
Yeah, that's exactly it. So quick. So it's super quick. Yeah. So it's a different cycle.
00:46:11.440
What Netflix started to do for some of your favorite shows, like love is blind, which
00:46:15.920
I love that show for some reason. Um, love is an experiment, but love is blind is they'll save
00:46:20.960
the last episode. So you can't sign up for 30 days and then drop. They'll make that last episode
00:46:27.920
come out six weeks after. And they found out that people will have a tendency to stay on Netflix
00:46:34.560
if they stay longer than 30 days for that second month. And yes, there's a documentary muscles
00:46:39.600
and mayhem Netflix. Nick, were you able to pull up the, uh, we had some photos here.
00:46:48.400
All right. This is Dan nitro Clark. Uh, we got some scroll down just a bit.
00:46:55.120
I'll keep going. I like the shirtless one. Go back up other way. Other way. Is it middle?
00:47:02.160
There you go. Oh, no, you look old there. Go down right there. Right next to it on the left.
00:47:06.960
There's one where you're kind of like hugging, uh, scroll, scroll down.
00:47:11.920
Oh, that's the group actually pull up some of the group ones, the group photos.
00:47:17.600
That is so damn cute. The black and white one. Scroll down, Nick. Some of the group ones, maybe pull up.
00:47:26.240
Okay. Now, did you have, would you consider what you had hairstyle wise? Is it a mullet?
00:47:34.400
Was it a mullet? Now it's a mullet. Now it's a mullet. Now it's a mullet.
00:47:38.720
Now it's a mullet. It happens. It looked good. That's funny.
00:47:41.840
Yeah, no, no. It was just called long hair. Oh, okay. Okay. I wasn't sure what the...
00:47:45.920
No, I think a mullet's like when it's short here. It is. It's short on the side.
00:47:49.760
It's the Joe Dirt haircut. Yeah. Who's the country comedian right now? He's got a mullet. He's really...
00:47:54.320
Theo Vaughn. Theo Vaughn. Yeah. Theo Vaughn has got a mullet. Okay.
00:47:58.240
And he's very funny. You had the flow. You just had the flow.
00:48:01.280
Yeah. Oh, you guys don't know who Fabio is, right? Yeah. I know Fabio.
00:48:05.680
You do? So Fabio made it. He made it to the next generation. Thank God.
00:48:11.680
Yeah. Nick, we have a video that we can watch really quick from... I think it's the American Gladiator YouTube.
00:48:22.800
Well, just a short piece of it. Just start from the beginning. Damn, look at those abs.
00:48:27.520
So this is ice on the show. And we'll just play a little 30-second portion of it. Can you boost the audio a little bit?
00:48:38.960
So did you actually carve that ice? Oh, no. Not at all.
00:48:50.560
What was your guys's... I just seem to have an attitude. We'll pause it there.
00:49:02.560
Mine was definitely Powerball. All those tackles that you saw? Powerball.
00:49:05.680
Okay. That was Powerball. Got it. That was amazing.
00:49:08.000
You know, I just love being on camera. You know, truth be told.
00:49:18.240
The event's my favorite. The least a favorite was this event. You can look it up on YouTube. It was Hang Tough.
00:49:26.960
No, not Hang Tough. Human Cannonball. Human Cannonball.
00:49:30.400
See, I got hit in the head too many times. I can't remember.
00:49:32.560
Human Cannonball was this crazy event. It was like, hey, I'm going to go stand in the street. Hit me with your car.
00:49:42.320
Because you got the crap knot. Why don't you explain what that was?
00:49:44.080
Oh, is that when you're up on a pedestal and then the contender swings?
00:49:47.600
And they swing down. And basically by the time they swing down and hit you, they're 10 times their body weight.
00:49:52.320
And they gave us this little tiny pad about three inches thick, maybe a couple feet wide and width, to deflect.
00:49:59.840
Stupidest game in the world. I mean, it was like insane.
00:50:03.360
Yeah. That's how Malibu got injured really bad, right? Because the guy kind of like kicked him or whatever.
00:50:09.200
Kind of, sort of. Oh, is there a backstory on that?
00:50:11.360
Okay. The boo. The boo. You know what? You should find that clip. That clip is immoral.
00:50:21.040
You can, just on YouTube, search Malibu. I think he knocked out will probably be the search term.
00:50:27.840
That is like the iconic clip, I think, of that generation of American gladiators that most people remember.
00:50:34.880
And I think if you watch it right away, I'll take you like, oh, it's kind of cool.
00:50:42.880
You know, they, they, it was, they got muscles.
00:50:48.080
Doing this like consistently as like your job, obviously over a span of years.
00:50:52.960
Like, did you ever get like super, super, super, super like tired and exhausted?
00:50:57.600
Or did the adrenaline kind of just keep you alive?
00:51:00.640
For me personally, the adrenaline kept me alive.
00:51:06.160
Some, some gladiators got hurt worse than others.
00:51:08.320
I was just kind of like the gladiator that went, look, I get paid the same win or lose,
00:51:12.640
even though I want to win constantly because that's in my veins.
00:51:16.160
But if I felt like I was going to like be in a compromising position, I'd be like, go ahead.
00:51:22.240
I didn't want to do that because basically we were, you know, you get hurt.
00:51:34.320
Well, that's what happened with, well, I think quite a few gladiators got.
00:51:39.440
They, they were out and that's why we went through so many gladiators.
00:51:50.000
If you search like the key term, American gladiator, Malibu gets knocked out, gets knocked out.
00:51:56.640
You should, if it's on YouTube, you should be able to find it.
00:52:00.400
So I think there's this rumor that you're her dad.
00:52:22.160
In the documentary, I was kind of a little bummed to learn that he only had one season.
00:52:27.200
I actually interview him tomorrow on my podcast.
00:52:31.360
Malibu tries to deflect this blow by Brian Hudson, but catches it right flat on the chest.
00:52:41.680
Find the interview after it because he talks about, oh, he talks about catching waves.
00:52:50.480
And he's like, dude, I was just catching some rays.
00:52:53.200
I was drinking some brews and he flips his hair.
00:52:59.520
Look, it was just a, it was a iconic for the time period.
00:53:25.280
Hey, Malibu, after you got drilled by that human cannon.
00:53:28.560
I thought, hey, there is no way this guy is going to live the plan.
00:53:58.720
I saw this guy coming, and I took the most excellent hit of my life.
00:54:04.720
The next thing I knew, I was on the beach, taking in some cosmic rays, getting healed by
00:54:10.560
mother nature, taking a little brewski, holding on a beautiful babe, and I'm fine today.
00:54:16.960
So, no hospital, no doctors, just mother nature, huh?
00:54:19.520
Oh, I'm a child of mother nature, what do you expect?
00:54:29.760
I feel, and that was, was that 89, 89, 89, teen 89.
00:54:35.440
I think most people on your, who've watched your show, and most of the panel weren't even born then.
00:54:42.400
You go back in time, and that's where you would see.
00:54:45.280
Hey, wait a minute, don't we still have, isn't there a channel on Pluto still?
00:54:50.480
No, no, American Gladiator is okay that YouTube, they have a channel where you can go see.
00:54:55.200
Yeah, but also Vice actually just started running old episodes of American Gladiator.
00:55:17.600
So, I feel like, but the show kind of, I think, came into its own in the early 90s.
00:55:24.960
Like, because the first season was 89, I think, and then, and I don't know.
00:55:30.640
I feel like 90s is kind of like peak, peak civilization.
00:55:34.240
I think it's when Eitan and who else came in as producers?
00:55:40.080
Well, Eitan was the guy who came in, but Bob Levy.
00:55:46.880
Do you see the little, the little jumping little penises that he had on his, on his desk?
00:55:57.920
So, Bob Levy was a director that we brought in who was a sports director, I think, for the
00:56:03.200
Him, along with Eitan Keller, kind of took the show out of the dark ages, which you saw
00:56:07.680
to what, you know, it was known as, you know, a bigger spectacle of a show.
00:56:20.240
Yeah, sometimes, you know, it takes, you know, freak to be genius to create something
00:56:25.120
And he was just a guy who lived in the Hollywood Hills.
00:56:28.400
He's a great dude, but he's like five foot three and he had these glasses and you would
00:56:33.040
think he would be a librarian, but that dude could party.
00:56:37.280
He had this house up on Mulholland Boulevard and it was legendary, you know, porn stars,
00:56:43.600
And, and yeah, if you went to one of his parties, you came out changed.
00:56:50.240
I heard that on the documentary, actually, like they were like, the cops showed up four
00:56:55.520
Like they were just going in on that, saying how he threw the craziest parties.
00:57:09.760
Well, I came from that life, but one of our, uh, good friends, gladiator, uh, Jim Caliphate
00:57:19.600
And he went to the party at Bob Levy's house just once, just once.
00:57:33.680
You know, it's, I don't even know how to explain it.
00:57:42.800
So I don't even know what you're talking about right now, so I don't know.
00:57:50.400
I mean, you saw the world, you see the world in a different way.
00:57:56.400
Well, through eyes of realizing what was out there.
00:57:59.520
If you lived a sheltered life, that makes sense.
00:58:03.200
So if you grew up, you know, and you're, you're very sheltered and you, you know, yes,
00:58:14.000
And then all of a sudden you just, you know, like you go to the playboy mansion and you're
00:58:26.480
I remember the first time I was at the playboy mansion and the girls were painted.
00:58:34.400
I mean, they were just naked walking around and I was just like, Holy shit.
00:58:38.160
When you realize that it's like, Oh, they painted to look like they had clothes on.
00:58:45.040
And it was just the most amazing thing you'd ever seen.
00:58:52.400
Would you guys go together with like a group of gladiators go to the playboy mansion or I
00:58:59.040
I was invited a couple of times through other people, you know, different producers or directors
00:59:03.280
or things like that went into have some theater.
00:59:09.920
That was just, you know, just knowing that you were at this playboy mansion with all these
00:59:17.040
His backyard with all the, uh, oh my God, his animals, just insane.
00:59:25.840
I want to bring it back to the tour that you guys were on.
00:59:28.400
So, uh, and you guys mentioned, uh, groupies, you guys had some groupies.
00:59:34.080
Did they join, did they join you guys on tour at all?
00:59:39.360
Or was this just like in each new city you're in, there are some girls that, you know, you
00:59:53.440
I don't think we had groupies that would follow us.
00:59:56.240
And now possibly if we were like from an hour, you know, an hour to two hours from
01:00:00.960
the next city, then yes, but to actually follow the bus and, you know, around 126.
01:00:09.200
Um, but yes, there was like, you know, they were at the shows.
01:00:16.160
I think the idea is that when you're on TV and you're traveling around the country and
01:00:24.400
a bus, what is the availability of sex from people that you could be interested in?
01:00:35.600
And, but you know, like, like we're talking about the playboy mansion earlier.
01:00:46.720
Like I never went, I was, I was invited a lot, but I'm like, why do I want to go there?
01:00:54.000
But you did, you, you didn't go there, but you dated some playboy bunnies, right?
01:01:01.280
I'm trying to, I'm trying to find out what's a list of words you can't say.
01:01:05.440
You can't say these words like he wrote down the words, but you know, it was, um, yeah,
01:01:16.000
So there was a place called the Hollywood Tropicana, which is off Sunset Boulevard.
01:01:20.560
And it was where they had mud wrestling, perfectly legitimate, fun, mud wrestling.
01:01:25.920
I don't know if that's a thing still, but where you get girls in bikinis and they would wrestle.
01:01:30.000
And a lot of the girls, no, it's not a thing anymore.
01:01:37.040
I don't think they do that anymore, but they did.
01:01:44.560
Now you have mud runs, but there was a thing called mud wrestling.
01:01:46.720
If you watch like a comedy from the eighties or nine, no, I've heard of it.
01:01:52.320
And this, this place had, you know, most, most attractive girls, some were bunnies,
01:01:56.800
some worked in the porn industry and you know, if you were in the industry, if you were,
01:02:02.160
you know, on TV or athlete, a lot of professional athletes go, that's where you would go meet
01:02:11.280
I just thought like, you know, those girls are there looking in my opinion, looking for
01:02:18.320
And I just wanted someone who liked me, you know what I mean?
01:02:21.120
Which I don't know if anybody ever did on the tour.
01:02:26.720
So you were in 120 cities, confirm or deny a new girl in every city.
01:02:40.800
I can honestly say I can look back and I can count on one hand how many girls I was with
01:02:53.360
I can't remember all of them, but I know I wasn't.
01:03:05.600
I mean, I, I imagine, cause I mean, looking at the documentary, you guys were constantly
01:03:09.600
traveling, which must be tiring and not only traveling, but you were doing, you said four
01:03:16.160
I mean, I almost feel like you'd just be so tired.
01:03:20.000
You're not like, you're just, oh, you're not, you're never that tired.
01:03:29.280
I mean, it was like Madison square garden on Friday night, get on the bus, go to Long
01:03:35.440
The next night, go to Philadelphia, do a show, take maybe Monday and Tuesday off most, then
01:03:41.920
But man, you know what you're in front of, you know, 15,000 screaming people.
01:03:53.200
You know, knowing that, you know, some little kid with his parents may be saved up to come
01:03:58.960
How could you not feel the responsibility to go out and give a good show and deliver?
01:04:05.440
What was the largest audience that you guys ever had MSG?
01:04:25.840
That was the only night I think that we fought over who was going to do the events, you know,
01:04:31.440
because everybody wanted to be out in front of that crowd.
01:04:33.680
Like nobody, I don't, I don't personally like to do the joust whatsoever.
01:04:37.520
Did you guys ever feel like competitive with each other in a way?
01:04:43.600
I don't know about the guys, but the girls were, we were competitive in a, in a different
01:04:48.560
But that particular night, again, nobody, I hate doing the joust, but we were fighting
01:04:53.600
over who was going to do the joust because you were center stage in front of 19,500 people.
01:04:59.440
And just the roar of the crowd, I, you can't even put that in words, what you feel like
01:05:06.720
That's gotta be like this glorious feeling, just like the, the, they're all cheering for
01:05:14.480
My girlfriend called it, like, she watched the documentary and when, you know, she goes,
01:05:19.680
when I saw you running around and you're just like going like this the whole time,
01:05:23.120
she goes, it was almost like the ego gasm, you know, because it was just,
01:05:28.720
It was just, it was just an incredible feeling.
01:05:31.440
It was like you were, I was in my element, you know, when you're in your element, you're
01:05:57.680
You know, it's interesting, you know, because the show was on quite a long time ago.
01:06:03.280
And when I hear so many people say, Oh God, you know, it must've been really tough being
01:06:17.840
It was such a privilege for people to want your time and attention, to want you to shine
01:06:25.600
It was a privilege, you know, to go to a great restaurant and, Oh, Hey, you're that guy.
01:06:32.880
For me, it was always such a privilege to, to have that spotlight for, you know, a brief
01:06:40.880
And again, it was such a privilege when muscles and mayhem came back out on Netflix a month
01:06:46.240
ago to have everything just blow up to go on, you know, all these different talk shows
01:06:51.120
and TV shows and, and podcasts here with you, you know, the, whatever podcast, you know, 5
01:06:58.560
So, I mean, to me, it's such a, it's such an honor that people are interested in your story
01:07:04.880
and that maybe you can take some of your life, you know, experiences and, and share it with
01:07:10.320
people and that they, they want to want to hear it.
01:07:13.280
I think where fame gets you in trouble is when you start to only search for the fame, right?
01:07:22.640
When you look at fame and you take it as adoration, I mean, you take the adoration and applause
01:07:30.800
and you mistake it maybe for love, you know what I mean?
01:07:37.840
And when you use that and it fills you in that way, when it goes away, it's a hard, hard time.
01:07:46.720
Nowadays, I think that since everybody seems to be famous, I mean, let's think of it seriously.
01:07:52.800
It's like we can, our social media now, it's like, you can be, you can have a one hit and
01:07:58.160
go viral and all of a sudden now you're famous, but what are you famous really for?
01:08:05.040
A lot of people get famous for doing absolutely nothing.
01:08:08.800
And I feel like it was such a privilege for you guys to be famous at that time because
01:08:17.040
You had to work hard to get, you know, to become famous.
01:08:19.680
Now you don't have to really work hard to become famous.
01:08:22.240
You just kind of have a really good idea and maybe a really good
01:08:25.040
video that you edit the shit out of that comes out amazing.
01:08:30.000
And I think that's actually kind of like, I think there's less star power today than there
01:08:36.160
Like if you think of like a list celebrities, I feel like, you know, if you go back 20 years
01:08:45.120
Like, I don't think coming along, there's anybody that really strikes me as like, or Tom Cruise,
01:08:53.200
Like, I feel like people quite, well, music industry is a little different, but you had
01:08:59.920
And I feel like the, there's not, it's just more spread thin.
01:09:11.280
Because back, I mean, being in LA, we could go to a restaurant and a celebrity walks in
01:09:15.440
and everybody's like, oh my God, you know, and, and everybody would like, you know, okay,
01:09:21.440
They're eating dinner, you know, be respectful.
01:09:25.040
And I think when it came to fame and celebrity, it was kind of being gatekept by institutions.
01:09:33.840
So you had, you know, the movie studios production, like now you can be into an individual
01:09:41.120
and gather, uh, influence, uh, well, not, not influence, but you can become famous on a
01:09:49.600
individual level without needing like a production around you.
01:09:55.120
You just, you need your phone and you could, you said it perfectly, Brian, the gatekeepers
01:10:02.240
And that's both beautiful and it's terrible at the same time.
01:10:12.080
Influencer to be in front, um, makes it more accessible to every man, every woman, every
01:10:19.600
But I think what you said is right on the move.
01:10:25.280
Like who is the young movie stars that people right now are flocking to go see like, oh my
01:10:31.040
God, you know, before, you know, a movie was opening and there was a certain person in
01:10:38.320
And now I think what Lori said is so true that, you know, the old saying is never meet
01:10:43.760
your heroes because you start to meet your heroes.
01:10:46.480
And then you see, you meet Will Smith, you know, and people, they become more human and
01:10:51.520
you see them for their flaws and you lose that, um, fantasy's gone.
01:10:58.240
And I don't know, you know, uh, what you guys think, if that's good or bad, I, maybe
01:11:07.520
I think it's kind of bad in the way that no famous person has privacy these days.
01:11:14.240
Like everyone on social media will spectate every single thing you do.
01:11:19.440
Like, uh, this model influencer, Kylie Jenner, she hit her pregnancy for so long and the fan,
01:11:28.080
her fans were the one who figured out she was pregnant and put it out to the world before
01:11:33.440
Like you just don't really get privacy nowadays.
01:11:36.320
Well, look, you're talking about the Kardashians and they're putting everything out that every
01:11:41.760
five minutes of the day, but people were choice, people were, yeah, that's true.
01:11:47.920
They let people in and they've built a huge empire out empire out of it.
01:11:51.840
I was watching like an interview and she said that she hit her pregnancy just so like people
01:11:56.160
wouldn't kind of hover her all the time about it.
01:12:00.720
They are on a different level, but they were just like for the, for the viewers and the fans
01:12:05.280
and everything, there were people in helicopters flying over her house to see like what got delivered
01:12:10.480
Like if a crib got delivered to her house, like remind me how they got famous again.
01:12:27.920
Well, I mean, her father, uh, was involved in the OJ Simpson trial, but I mean, I'd probably
01:12:35.760
say it was the sex tape that kind of got them going.
01:12:39.040
So now, you know, the world has changed where you make a sex tape, you release it, and then
01:12:45.440
Now, that being said, take nothing away from the Kardashians, right?
01:12:55.120
And I don't care who you are building whether you want it or not building an empire like
01:12:59.760
they have done where they've monetized every single thing.
01:13:03.040
If that's what you want to do, then, you know, that's good for you.
01:13:08.720
But you look at someone like George Clooney, he's opted not to go on social media.
01:13:17.040
And I think a lot of people are afraid not to be on social media, to not be on social media,
01:13:27.280
Like when Muscles and Mayhem came out on Netflix, I didn't have an Instagram account.
01:13:32.640
And I just said, Oh, I don't need an Instagram account.
01:13:35.600
And the Netflix publicist publicist, like, you got to have an Instagram account.
01:13:44.160
So, you know, I reopened an account and yeah, it's just interesting.
01:13:54.400
Are most of you guys is like, sorry, I interrupted.
01:13:56.560
Are most of you guys is DMS and kind of feedback like super positive?
01:14:00.080
Or do you find that anything negative at mine, super positive?
01:14:03.040
I don't think we have anything negative because I mean, our fans are our fans.
01:14:08.640
And they're just so grateful that they have this nostalgic, you know, piece that's out
01:14:14.000
there now, Muscles and Mayhem that they can reflect back on and go, Oh my God, this was
01:14:20.720
It brings them back to a simpler time, you know, and a lot of people love to have that
01:14:25.200
feeling because right now it's like so much is crazy.
01:14:27.680
And everybody's like, you know, the it's, it's the world is what it is, but yet they,
01:14:32.480
they just want to, they just want to feel that simplicity again, you know?
01:14:35.920
And they love that nostalgia of, of that, that feeling of going back.
01:14:41.840
Well, I think it's like a good song, you know, right?
01:14:44.000
There's a song that you listen to and you listen to that song.
01:14:46.720
I remember that was high school when I was a freshman.
01:14:49.200
I remember in college I was with my boys or, Oh, that's when I was with my boyfriend.
01:14:52.880
I don't know why I spoke in that voice, but that's when I was with my boyfriend.
01:14:56.800
So gladiators is very nostalgic for, for kids of the nineties.
01:15:01.600
And one of the nice things like Lori was saying, we got so many DMS like, Oh my God, I watched
01:15:09.760
I watched that show with, you know, my little brother.
01:15:11.760
And then we'd go out to the backyard and we played gladiators.
01:15:14.800
So when Muscles and Mayhem came out on, on Netflix, it was just really eyeopening
01:15:20.080
to see how important and what a valuable memory that was for a lot of the nineties kids.
01:15:27.600
And it's so surprising because they never thought it would happen again.
01:15:30.400
They never thought this reunion would happen again.
01:15:34.640
And especially for me going back to where a lot of my DMS were, thank you for giving
01:15:38.880
me the permission to be a strong female, you know, because we were ahead of their time.
01:15:43.200
You know, the females on the show, we were like, you know, we're muscular.
01:15:49.760
And that gave other women in the world at that point in time permission.
01:15:59.200
Thank you for being this kind of person, your authentic self to, you know, allow us to stand
01:16:08.720
So that's the, another super cool thing about getting these types of the feedback.
01:16:14.560
That's great because we didn't have that feedback back then.
01:16:17.040
Cause again, we didn't have the social media to get that kind of feedback.
01:16:21.600
You know, we got fan letters and everything, but the fan, you know, that's a little different
01:16:28.320
One of the good things for me is, you know, people from all over the world, you know, on Instagram
01:16:33.280
mainly, uh, have DM'd and Oh, I watched you when I was a kid.
01:16:37.520
You know, I named my dog after you, you know, whatever it was.
01:16:40.560
Oh, Hey, look, I had a rough time in childhood and watching your guys, your show, you know,
01:16:48.880
And I pretty much right back to everybody, you know, I'm up late at night and my, my, uh,
01:16:54.080
Kim, my girlfriend's like, you don't have to answer every single DM.
01:17:01.440
Well, and this is where it's like, I talked to laser as like, dude, you got to get on social
01:17:05.040
media because if here's the thing, if we have 10 gladiators and we only have two to three
01:17:09.840
gladiators are on social media and we want to stay relevant and we want to keep that name out
01:17:15.680
We want to do personal appearances and we want to do bookings.
01:17:18.720
All of us need to be on social media because then we have a presence with all of us,
01:17:25.920
You know, so my social media, I was getting my social media geared up a good year and a
01:17:32.000
I mean, when we started filming the muscles of mayhem and it was like, okay, you need to do
01:17:42.080
I mean, I had such a good time building that, you know, I really did.
01:17:45.760
But at the same time, like he said, it can be daunting because it's like, okay, now you
01:17:49.680
got to do every single platform there is out there.
01:17:56.000
But at the same time, people want different content for all different platforms.
01:18:00.480
You know, and it's like, okay, you want this, this, this.
01:18:06.720
So, and posting it's like, oh my God, when do I find the time?
01:18:14.560
So there was a anecdote in the documentary and in the book that there was a girl in Chicago
01:18:22.800
Chicago and, uh, I guess she was a beauty and all the gladiators, all the male gladiators
01:18:28.800
were pining over her and, uh, there was a wager.
01:18:34.080
So Chicago where Michael Jordan played famous city, famous arena.
01:18:40.000
Uh, we went there on the tour and there was this super like attractive female contender.
01:18:49.120
And the boys, you know, all of us were lined up thinking like, oh yeah, who can, you know,
01:18:54.480
Uh, and we started, you know, guys in their twenties, we started to put a wage on.
01:18:58.400
Oh, I could, I could get, oh no, I could go out there.
01:19:01.280
And we put, you know, whatever it was 50 bucks on this.
01:19:10.240
It was just the idea of like, Hey, which one of us should be the most, you know, macho guy
01:19:14.400
back in that day and actually, uh, pull off this feat.
01:19:17.840
And we were like, okay, here she comes, here she comes.
01:19:23.440
Cause I saw, so the way it works is, uh, that you, you compete on the show.
01:19:26.640
Then after the show, there's a green room where there's a meet and greet where all the contenders
01:19:30.240
come in with the sponsors come in and we're all looking around like, where is she?
01:19:36.480
We're like, ah, dude, I guess nobody wins the bet.
01:19:39.600
And then the next morning at the hotel we're packed up.
01:19:50.480
We're waiting to go and the elevator doors open.
01:19:54.400
And this one, Lori Fetrick, ice comes out with her arm around this girl.
01:20:10.160
At least that's how, that's how you envisioned it.
01:20:13.360
Her arm was around her waist and she looks at all of us and she puts the L right here
01:20:20.720
Did you know that they were kind of all competing for her?
01:20:30.000
And so you, was that the only time you ever swooped in from any of the male gladiators
01:20:57.680
The guys on the tour were, yes, they were, they're just like, you know, big hunts over
01:21:06.400
And so, I mean, like I said, you just kind of get that feeling.
01:21:12.640
So it was just fun to watch them, you know, just drooling over some girls and making bets
01:21:18.320
And I could tell, and I could look at the girl whether or not she was into them or not,
01:21:23.280
And so I just wouldn't say anything to you guys.
01:21:25.040
And I would just watch, you know, and then yes, that's, it was, it was a swoop in, but
01:21:30.240
it was more of a fun swoop in to kind of like, yeah.
01:21:37.360
There was a couple of swoops, a couple of swoops.
01:21:41.600
Oh, she's swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
01:21:46.240
You're talking about dating and I just back in those days.
01:21:49.360
And it just reminded me, you know, the American gladiator days.
01:21:51.840
And, you know, I know in the documentary on Netflix, uh, they call me a scoundrel, you know,
01:21:57.360
but the truth was when I look back at that time, you know, the one thing I hated was rejection.
01:22:05.440
So rarely did I go directly towards a girl like, Hey, you know, some guys had rap.
01:22:13.840
It was more like, I just kind of hung, you know, hung out and saw who was giving me the
01:22:18.560
vibe because the worst thing for me at that time, and I don't know if people still suffer
01:22:23.840
from this was to walk over and say, you know, Hey, uh, Madison, you know, I think you're cute.
01:22:32.000
You know, that, that would have destroyed my ego.
01:22:35.040
So my dating style was just to kind of hang out and act cool.
01:22:39.040
Like, Hey, yo, you know, flip my hair a little bit back when I had a lot and then see like,
01:22:43.520
you know, who I could see, like kind of checking me out and, oh yeah, she's kind of looking at me.
01:22:47.680
And I would usually wait for the girl to make the first move, you know, to come up and approach
01:22:56.800
Like a lot of, oh, well, yeah, of course people, nobody likes to be scared to approach woman
01:23:05.200
Well, you know, you know what rejection it's, I, it's, um, I don't know, you know,
01:23:10.480
I've got friends who've got theories, you know, like, yeah, it's a numbers game.
01:23:14.880
You know, you just like your ask 200 women for sex old YouTube video, right?
01:23:20.080
One is going to say, yes, eventually it's a numbers game.
01:23:22.240
And I've got friends who just, you know, hey, Mattis, you want to go out?
01:23:25.440
Hey, uh, Kiki, who's changed your name to Ashley Sinclair.
01:23:29.120
You know, if they just, it's a numbers game for numbers game.
01:23:33.440
You have to have the thick skin as well, though.
01:23:39.840
So I, I think, I think what I'm trying to say sometimes, if you see someone of the opposite
01:23:44.880
sex, that's really attractive and they're not coming up to you and they're not,
01:23:50.400
I think sometimes it's the very attract, the attractive person who's actually kind of shy,
01:23:59.360
The reason they're not, that's the reason they're not coming up to you.
01:24:04.240
If I could go back, I would probably approach more women that I thought were attractive that
01:24:10.880
Oh, uh, Mack Zack, thank you for the 20 gifted subs.
01:24:18.160
So I think that's, you know, if I could go coach myself, I would probably go and talk
01:24:25.600
to that girl that I was interested in instead of waiting for her to talk to me or having
01:24:31.040
a buddy saying, Hey dude, I think she digs you, you know, right?
01:24:35.920
I feel like a lot of women too, like, don't really know how to approach men because they
01:24:40.940
expected, they expect, they don't have to, but they expect the men to approach them, which
01:24:46.880
is why they kind of have this shyness towards them because yeah.
01:24:56.240
I think it's honestly, uh, when it comes to approaching in real life, it's actually probably
01:25:04.240
why I think both men and women are approaching far less because you have dating apps.
01:25:08.900
So instead of doing this kind of scary thing of approaching a stranger in person and risking
01:25:15.160
that sort of like very upfront in your face kind of rejection, even if it's polite, it still
01:25:21.620
Uh, people kind of are just falling back on dating apps.
01:25:27.680
So if they just don't respond, it, you know, it's not, it's still maybe stings a little
01:25:37.800
No, I was, I was talking about that on the way up here.
01:25:40.260
I think that like the dating apps, the tenders and stuff like that, you know, it's like,
01:25:48.360
Are they, are they, you know, are they going to put me in their basement and just kill me
01:25:53.840
And then it's like, well, you know, you, I feel like the thing is those, like everybody
01:25:58.440
you meet starts out as a stranger at some point, but if you meet them, if you meet them in
01:26:03.440
person, you can look in their eyes and most of the time you get a vibe, absolutely.
01:26:12.780
You can't do that on a dating app until you actually meet them.
01:26:16.000
And then it could be a little bit too late at that point in time.
01:26:18.440
With, with the dating apps, what I always did, I haven't used dating apps in like, I don't
01:26:22.840
know, a couple, a couple of weeks, six, a couple of days.
01:26:27.440
No, I think I, I, uh, well, I got, it's a long story, but I haven't used them in probably
01:26:33.360
And, uh, I would always set up a phone call because at least with that, I would be able
01:26:38.400
to get a little, I know it's not as good as in person.
01:26:41.900
It's not as good as in person, but you can at least get them on the phone and get a, some
01:26:46.920
sense of, of, now you can do zoom, you can do them on zoom.
01:26:53.320
So I kind of fantasize about having me dating apps.
01:26:57.780
You know, I, I look, I'm very committed to my girlfriend.
01:27:01.920
I would just, well, there was that series on Hulu, uh, was the guy, uh, Jesse Eisenberg
01:27:11.680
So he's a doctor surgeon in New York who grew up.
01:27:14.660
Now his wife, uh, she divorces him and, uh, now he's single for the first time and he's
01:27:21.300
a surgeon in New York and he's kind of cool and he goes on dating apps.
01:27:25.720
He's never been on a dating app and it's just like, oh, there's all these girls and they
01:27:33.060
And he just goes on this montage where, you know, he goes from one girl, the next to the
01:27:38.800
And yeah, I was kind of talking to that about my girl.
01:27:48.740
And, and, you know, um, you know what we should do right now, just as an experiment.
01:27:58.280
And by the, you know, you set up a quick profile.
01:28:02.100
You wouldn't actually legitimately, for the sake of entertainment, set up a Tinder for you
01:28:06.760
guys just so you guys can see how it is motorcycle.
01:28:14.400
And, uh, you know, with the disclaimer to your significant others that there's, you know,
01:28:22.960
So, you know, it's for a social experiment, social experiment for the whatever, for the
01:28:26.940
whatever podcast it's, uh, but, uh, so there was a way that, okay.
01:28:33.780
Um, do you guys, uh, prior to the Netflix doc, would you guys get recognized in public?
01:28:42.320
And then after the Netflix doc, would you guys be getting constantly recognized on public?
01:28:48.040
I want to answer for you, but the movie, the TV show on Hulu is Fleischman's in trouble with
01:28:58.980
I will say though, that's, that's kind of why dating apps work to a detriment in these
01:29:03.660
Cause a lot of people are going on there to find like, um, long-term relationships, but
01:29:09.480
also a lot of people on dating apps are just looking for sex.
01:29:13.000
So it's really hard for some people to find what they want on there.
01:29:15.940
I mean, cause I mean, isn't it very like specific in the very beginning?
01:29:23.580
I've never been on dating apps, but can you, can you put that?
01:29:27.460
I mean, you can, but like actually something that you mentioned in the book, Dan is, uh,
01:29:32.060
you know, there there's, you were, let me see if I have the notes on it.
01:29:36.780
Basically there was a girl who, I think it was Angie and, uh, wait, it's an Angie.
01:29:45.880
Uh, and she said that she wasn't into hooking up and you said in the book, and this is something
01:29:50.800
we see on dating apps, people in dating apps will say not looking for a hookup.
01:29:54.040
And usually that's actually an indicator that they're pretty down to hookup, you know, not
01:29:59.080
always, not always, but, or, or it could mean that they've recently frequently engaged in
01:30:06.060
the hookups, but maybe they got ghosted or the guide didn't text them back, called them
01:30:13.240
Well, uh, Lori was, uh, saying, well, you could kind of lay that out in the beginning
01:30:23.280
And, uh, I think, uh, I think that, well, I think the thing is, is that, uh, it depends
01:30:30.800
If you're on Tinder, I feel like that's more so typically geared towards hookup.
01:30:35.860
You have Bumble, which is the one where women have to message first, at least if it's, uh,
01:30:40.600
you know, guys, girls, uh, then there's hinge, which I think is a bit more relationship
01:30:50.060
I didn't even, I thought they were all just dating.
01:30:53.220
If you guys need advice, if you guys are ever single again, I'll be happy to give you a
01:30:58.740
I mean, you, you date women, so is there, you know, I don't, I think that, yes, of course
01:31:02.900
there's gotta be dating apps for girls, but at the same time, I think a lot of them are
01:31:06.980
like, just looking for that nice long walk on the beach.
01:31:12.000
You're not, you're not a walk on the beach type of.
01:31:20.320
No, it's like, if I'm going to be on a dating app, I would never be on a dating app because
01:31:23.820
I don't feel like I would have to be on a dating app.
01:31:25.880
Let's just pretend like you are in a dating app.
01:31:27.820
I want to know what your profile, I want her to lift.
01:31:30.680
No, no, no, no, no, no, I don't, I'm not into that.
01:31:35.860
I want somebody who's fit, you know, because that's, that's me and that's what I'm into.
01:31:46.340
It wouldn't be, I'm looking for somebody to walk on the beach, listen to music, because
01:31:52.140
that to me is kind of like, okay, I'm looking to have some fun.
01:31:56.800
Travel, have good communication, but I'm not dead yet.
01:32:05.420
You know, it's, it's, and that's what most lesbians are actually, by the time they hit
01:32:17.340
They're, they're on the, they're on the down slide of shit.
01:32:20.480
But, you know, what does one do when you're an older lesbian, you lose your testosterone
01:32:28.800
When you start to reach a certain thing, when you start to lose your testosterone, what do
01:32:33.780
Are you talking lesbians or talking just girls in general?
01:32:39.440
It's, it's, they're taking care of the household.
01:32:42.780
They're raising the children for the next generation is what they're doing.
01:32:46.500
That's kind of, that's kind of like a picturing a patriarchal society.
01:32:53.420
It's when their testosterone drops, you tell me, I mean, we were just talking about this
01:33:25.200
You're a semi-born again virgin, but you recently lost it.
01:33:29.580
You should be able to like to subtract from your body count, right?
01:33:35.440
Is this like the Ferris Bueller, you know, where they try to, they put the brick on the
01:33:45.820
Reduce these, the, like lower the odometer or whatever, speedometer.
01:33:53.780
Well, no, but let's say, let's say you're, let's say my body count is 12.
01:34:00.500
Multiply it by three and that's the real number.
01:34:10.060
So let's say your body count is whatever it is.
01:34:50.200
There's like a whole backstory I can get into it, but I'm not going to trauma dump right
01:34:56.200
Are you disappointed with eight or are you just kind of like surprised at eight?
01:35:03.760
I've never revealed this to my father before, so.
01:35:17.480
It's very brave of you to say that, Madison, and I appreciate your courage.
01:35:21.360
To come and say that in front of 5 million subscribers.
01:35:31.780
But I don't, I, you know, to come out and say that today because, you know, I think there's
01:35:37.460
And to come out and say that I think is a beautiful thing and it shows me that you're
01:35:40.760
very comfortable in your skin and what you've done and who you are and I'm very proud of
01:35:51.200
I'm just proud of you for coming out and being vulnerable and saying that and saying,
01:35:56.660
I'm, I, I will always say, I will always say I'm not going to make any excuses for
01:36:01.720
that because that I cannot change anything about that.
01:36:05.920
To enjoy yourself, you don't need to make an excuse.
01:36:07.640
Like as I've gotten older, I've developed more values and morals and like I know who I am
01:36:31.320
But yeah, I will always just say like I will never make excuses for myself.
01:36:35.260
I fully take accountability for like my past and things that I've done, but I have eight.
01:36:40.540
I have a boyfriend right now who I'm very, very happily with and committed to, but it's
01:36:47.060
It's, it's going to be eight for the rest of my life.
01:36:48.880
When I'm 60 year old, it's going to be eight too.
01:36:57.500
She's saying her current boyfriend is going to be the last one.
01:37:07.800
Because that's what we thought when we were 18.
01:37:12.540
When you're growing up, you think this is the one, this is the one the rest of my life.
01:37:17.280
And then that one breaks your heart and then you move on.
01:37:19.620
In a way, I like growing up, I was like forced into maturity, I would say.
01:37:26.320
I know I'm 18, but I feel like a little older than I already am.
01:37:30.780
And I feel like, I don't know, when you know, you know.
01:37:35.660
And I fully believe you when you tell me that, that this in your mind will be the last
01:37:43.320
But someone who's gone through the experience of, you know, oh, I know.
01:37:51.760
And there's a possibility that it could change.
01:37:53.840
But again, just to go back, I want to commend you on your courage to come out and talk openly
01:38:00.900
I feel like there's a lot of people in the situation that I am too that do get, like,
01:38:07.400
Because it matters, like, a lot nowadays in modern day society.
01:38:11.860
Because, would you like to explain why body count matters, guys?
01:38:21.680
And that's mainly the reason why I feel like body count matters.
01:38:26.280
I mean, there's, I wasn't anticipating diving into body count.
01:38:30.460
But, I mean, I think there's something to be said.
01:38:32.860
One, obviously, the more sexual partners you've had, there's a higher risk of having an STD.
01:38:38.700
Certainly, it could be the case if you've had 100 previous sexual partners.
01:38:49.320
However, I would say even if you are using protection, there are certain, like, STDs that can, like,
01:38:58.580
Well, if it's, like, depending on where it is on the person, if it's, like, on, you know, a condom doesn't necessarily preclude the spread of STDs.
01:39:14.160
There's certainly something to be said about pair bonding.
01:39:19.520
I, my view is that it's, as you accrue more sexual partners, it becomes harder to bond with subsequent partners.
01:39:38.480
So, I think people in their 20s now, I think some of the people who study gerontology believe that the average age would be 120 years.
01:39:53.480
So, the idea of, you know, being labeled or categorized by the number of sexual partners is going to determine how good of a spouse or mate you're going to be, I think, is ridiculous.
01:40:10.780
Um, now, okay, is there a context where if it starts getting in the hundreds to the 200s?
01:40:25.160
But, you know, just because someone has a lot of partners when they're younger doesn't mean to me that they're going to be a bad partner later.
01:40:35.740
They may be a bad partner for you if that's your preference.
01:40:39.520
And if that's how you judge that, and that's 100% valid.
01:40:43.880
But to go out and say that they may have harder times bonding with people in a general statement, I find it harder to believe.
01:40:52.860
And a lot of times people have difficulties bonding because they don't understand what intimacy looks like.
01:40:59.120
And that usually comes down from the parental figures.
01:41:06.980
And then eventually you learn that intimacy is not only sexual, but it's having the vulnerability to open up and, you know, have a conversation.
01:41:16.460
To let them see your emotional truth and your emotional self.
01:41:19.720
So, a lot of talk I hear is that, oh, men are afraid to be vulnerable.
01:41:22.980
I don't know if men are afraid to be vulnerable.
01:41:29.900
Maddie's got eight bodies with eight back shotties.
01:41:35.980
She thinks about it on the dailies and brought great shame to her families.
01:41:44.760
That's what you think, but you don't really know me in real life.
01:41:51.780
There's something that sticks out in my mind, and it's off subject, but it was Rose McGowan.
01:41:58.320
McGowan, the Me Too, started the Me Too movement.
01:42:00.500
And there was a video I saw of her, and the commentator was asking her these questions.
01:42:07.120
You know, these people you're speaking against, you know, they're very powerful.
01:42:11.200
And she looks right at the guy and says, so am I.
01:42:14.580
And in that moment, I was like, oh, my God, I love her because she's comfortable in her skin.
01:42:21.500
So I think when you're comfortable in your skin, I think there's a certain attractiveness because a lot of times what we're missing right now is authenticity.
01:42:31.120
People want to put this life up on social media.
01:42:33.380
And then you meet the person like, oh, my God, you're nothing like that person who's always happy, who's always having fun.
01:42:39.980
So I think the authenticity, which you just shared through your vulnerability, I think makes you a gem.
01:43:01.420
Because I kind of said my piece and it was contrary to yours.
01:43:07.620
Well, I think when it comes to body count, the way I kind of view it is like I, me personally, I don't want to date somebody who either currently is or was promiscuous.
01:43:18.800
So I think having a high body count is proxy for promiscuity or not necessarily.
01:43:27.980
But if you've had 40, 50 previous sexual partners, I mean, to me, I mean, there's also just sort of an innate, like, if you've had a lot of sexual partners, a girl, for example, that I'm interested in dating.
01:43:45.560
It's kind of, like, on this visceral level, I find it a bit gross.
01:43:52.700
If they, before me, they've slept with 50 dudes, you know, 100 dudes, I would find that a bit repulsive.
01:43:58.520
I also think that there's a higher likelihood of infidelity.
01:44:05.220
The more previous sexual partners you've had, the greater likelihood of infidelity, greater likelihood of reporting relationship and marriage dissatisfaction, greater likelihood of divorce.
01:44:28.740
She knows how you feel about having a high body count.
01:44:37.560
She's not going to be because she knows how you feel about it.
01:44:40.880
And she's in love with you and you're in love with her.
01:45:05.020
I think it's totally shallow because you're in love with this girl.
01:45:12.080
She lied because she knows how you feel and she was in love with you and you fell in love with her.
01:45:17.940
And just because she slept with more men that you didn't feel comfortable with.
01:45:23.080
I mean, is that as you're judging, but we all judging.
01:45:28.460
Well, I am judging, but we all make sort of discernments when it comes to the types of people that we're going to partner with.
01:45:36.260
I think that if I found my girlfriend had over 100 body count and it was 200, I really wouldn't give a shit.
01:45:53.360
And look, everyone's entitled to having their different preferences, standards, and boundaries.
01:45:56.720
I think for you personally, if it doesn't bother you, then I think that's totally fine.
01:46:02.640
For me, I just think it's a difference of values when it comes to sex and when it comes to, it would be, I guess it would be almost a compatibility thing.
01:46:15.280
And it's just, we always, both men and women, want to pick the optimum partner.
01:46:19.020
And I do think if you've had a promiscuous past, that is sort of a, in my view, again, my own personal view, some people don't think this way, other people do.
01:46:47.180
But, for example, I mean, you said that you don't date, you don't date women who are, who are muscular, for example.
01:46:54.820
But this is also, but this is also a preference for me.
01:46:58.500
But couldn't you make the argument that someone's behavioral characteristics is more important than just their, how they present visually?
01:47:09.020
Because, like, when it comes to your sexual activity in the past, that's, like, something to do with your behavior.
01:47:16.180
But it's not always in such a specific way that you think it is.
01:47:24.080
Like, I don't want to, I'm just going to tell my story with it.
01:47:29.120
So, my story, I obviously, once again, I'm not making any excuses.
01:47:34.320
I'm just sharing my experience through what happened.
01:47:37.860
But growing up, I feel like I was very sucked into this whole modern society thing.
01:47:48.780
You had to do it because your friends were doing it.
01:47:52.760
Just, like, simply for, like, male validation, basically.
01:47:59.360
But once I, like, grew up, once I got older, I, like I said earlier, I developed better morals and values for myself.
01:48:11.600
And I didn't really know that until I met my current boyfriend now.
01:48:15.060
Who kind of had to teach me those things because I didn't have anyone to teach me those things.
01:48:19.840
I'm trans, biologically female, virgin, and raised by a Republican father.
01:48:43.260
And I'm not saying I changed, but I definitely developed and, you know, I definitely grew.
01:48:47.980
And I, like I said, growing up, I didn't really have anyone to tell me, like, the true value of sex until I met my boyfriend who kind of shared that with me.
01:49:06.860
That's what part, that's what life is, is about growing.
01:49:10.540
Well, I think, look, I think, Brian, you know, look, you know, the great thing about today, this country, us, is you can have your preference.
01:49:22.660
And I read this interesting study recently, how many adult men are satisfied with their sex life?
01:49:35.340
It was, like, you know, like, 22% were satisfied with their sex life because men, in general, they do not marry their best and favorite sexual partner.
01:49:51.280
They usually marry someone they want to be the mother of their child.
01:49:55.180
And they put different values upon who they want to raise their children than who they want to hang and bang with, right?
01:50:03.500
But then down the road, what that will lead to a lot of times is, like, oh, God, I love her.
01:50:07.980
She's a good mom, but the sex just isn't great.
01:50:24.140
I do think you can work with each other to make your sex life better.
01:50:45.300
Well, I mean, certainly I think, like, there's a certain excitement when you're first with
01:50:52.680
And certainly things maybe slow down a little bit.
01:50:55.420
But, I mean, I think if you communicate with your partner...
01:51:11.460
You take your working full-time to make a living.
01:51:13.340
You got to take care of those kids and are not working.
01:51:20.660
You got to put your kids through private school.
01:51:27.940
Not fight for it, but you have to fight to find time to have good sex.
01:51:34.820
You have to fight for time when the kids are asleep.
01:51:41.560
And then you don't want to plan it because if you plan it, the spontaneity is totally gone.
01:51:45.720
So are you arguing that I should, in order to have a fantastic sex life with my future long-term partner?
01:51:57.200
Take the words fantastic sex life long relationship out.
01:52:05.380
It's hard because remember, you're not going to marry your best sexual partner.
01:52:08.020
You're going to marry someone who's got these matrimal qualities that you can count on, that that's not that experience, that probably hasn't been with, you know, anybody who's going to rival you in bed because we don't want you to be insecure about that.
01:52:23.340
But, I mean, okay, so there is this concept, though.
01:52:29.280
Or dirtying your woman with their bodily fluids.
01:52:34.340
I mean, but, like, okay, let me ask you a question.
01:52:37.460
Okay, so, okay, we're getting into the juicy stuff here.
01:52:40.640
So would you not feel a little bit, and it's not even coming from a place of insecurity, but let's say you were about to sleep.
01:52:50.520
Let's say you weren't in a seven-year relationship.
01:52:52.760
You're with a new girl, and you find out, obviously, it's your first time being intimate together, and, you know, maybe there's not an understanding between you two when it comes to any sort of commitment, right?
01:53:07.680
You wouldn't find it a bit, you wouldn't take pause if she had slept with a guy the night before she sleeps with you?
01:53:29.960
If I'm dating a girl, and I'm interested in her, and we think we have a thing, but it's not official, you know, I will say this.
01:53:44.260
No, when I was younger, you know, like, oh, she can't sleep with this many people.
01:53:53.720
Yeah, but as you get older, those rules go away.
01:54:01.700
You know, she has to be this, you know, like this body count.
01:54:07.040
But, you know, as you get older, you just want someone who's great.
01:54:14.720
You want someone who's loyal that's going to be there.
01:54:19.300
You know, you want someone who has kind of similar values.
01:54:22.800
You know, the body count becomes such a, for me, an unimportant thing.
01:54:30.180
Now, look, if she was at, you know, 500, 1,000, yeah.
01:54:36.800
So, in other words, he's saying he's not going to date a porn star.
01:54:51.000
You know, I found that most porn stars and strippers have some kind of brokenness in them.
01:54:56.500
You know, but maybe that's not fair for me to judge and say that.
01:55:00.240
Um, you know, cause I know I can speak for myself.
01:55:05.960
You know, I, I saw what my dad did when I was 10 years old.
01:55:12.240
My dad and I were together at the hotel and, um, I'm 10 and he says to me, he said, you read
01:55:21.980
He goes to the bar at the airport the night before and he gets two prostitutes.
01:55:27.720
We're walking to the hotel and he's got the two prostitutes with him.
01:55:31.280
And he looks at me and says, Hey, do you want one?
01:55:43.700
And my father has sex with these two women on the bed while I'm there and my back is
01:55:52.260
I pretend like I'm asleep and, and, you know, the beds just, is it to us?
01:55:57.660
It might be a little, but, but yeah, we, yeah, I think, uh, might be a little, uh, iffy
01:56:06.340
So anyway, so, so the idea, the idea of that, and you know, for me, there was a brokenness
01:56:11.980
when it came to relationships and when it came to women, right?
01:56:14.920
I followed my dad, you know, you had a lot of girls that made you feel cool.
01:56:18.900
And I, I didn't realize how much I was hurting the women that I was lying to, that I was cheating
01:56:29.540
You know, I, I, I, and it took me a long time to say, look, if you're going to be with
01:56:34.420
somebody, have enough courage to say, Hey, I'm interested in somebody else.
01:56:39.980
You know, I, I'm sorry, you know, do the human across from you, regardless of their sex or
01:56:54.320
I feel like in the sense that if you were, if two people were just hooking up, that question
01:56:58.260
wouldn't really come into play because those two people are hooking up just to hook up.
01:57:03.600
If you got, if they were getting in a relationship, it would make sense why, um, holy fuck.
01:57:17.380
We got fucking emergency vehicles going, going by.
01:57:21.300
Um, one of the, one of the perks of being centrally located, uh, no, I, and I don't, I don't
01:57:28.300
have an issue with other people having a different view on this than, than I do.
01:57:32.340
I just know for my own personal preferences when it comes to, uh, picking a partner, I'd
01:57:37.200
certainly prefer someone who has a lower body count.
01:57:49.420
I certainly don't make it a habit of having one night stands.
01:57:55.260
Like if I have sex with a girl, I want there to be a continuity.
01:58:00.120
Um, but I have, I had a one, yeah, I've had a one night stand.
01:58:03.640
Um, no, I don't think I asked her body count then, but this was a long time ago.
01:58:09.940
Why are so many men unhappy in their marriages with their sex life?
01:58:14.840
Because they marry somebody that they want to be a mother more than they marry for the
01:58:23.000
You, I think he's like, nah, you can't have both.
01:58:27.240
Then you become occupied with so many things because you have kids, you create a family.
01:58:34.600
Well, sex is the last thing on your mind when you're having kids and raising a family and
01:58:37.500
taking care of the house and doing the laundry and doing the dishes and doing this and doing
01:58:43.020
So they're working their ass off as a mom and doing the house all day.
01:58:46.380
And then the husband comes home and it's like, okay, babe, let's do this.
01:58:49.800
She's like, seriously, that's the last thing that's on mine.
01:58:58.900
Not, not to go here too deep, but at the same time, the women that are going into menopause,
01:59:03.680
you guys aren't even, even remotely thinking of that yet.
01:59:16.140
But my point is, if you know any 50 year olds, get me in touch and I'll see what I can
01:59:37.340
What do you, uh, I mean, are you, are you, my question is, is that it's, it's more along
01:59:43.120
the lines of this is where it's like the men have to come up to the plate and actually
01:59:48.740
like seriously, um, are we talking about foreplay relationship goes on?
01:59:57.220
They just, sometimes they just get it over with.
02:00:02.260
Now I got five minutes, but it's what I'm trying to say is the women aren't going to,
02:00:06.880
always be that sexually active as your relationship continues.
02:00:14.280
The men have to work on it, but I don't think the body counts really that important at that
02:00:19.560
I think the previous, uh, example you gave was like, well, what if you're in love with
02:00:25.220
And then she, like, you find out her body count.
02:00:27.160
I mean, that's something that I would probably ask very early on and it just, the relationship
02:00:35.860
I mean, if that's what you're, if that's what you want, that's, I think that's great.
02:00:39.680
Cause I think too many people go in not having an idea of what their values or the moral hierarchy
02:00:45.080
is and then they go in and think, Oh, love is going to take care of it's all of it all.
02:00:51.480
But I think, you know, at the end of the day, what a blue pill takes care of everything.
02:00:56.760
I've been looking at these at the entire podcast and I'm like, are you going to take the red
02:01:07.520
So just to close, to close this call, close this loop.
02:01:11.840
Look, you can have really good sex when you've been in a long relationship.
02:01:16.180
It just looks different than it did in the beginning.
02:01:24.560
You know, in the beginning when you're dating, you know, you're hours, you're jumping off this,
02:01:29.320
you know, the dresser, so to speak, you know, and, and it's the most important thing.
02:01:32.840
And anybody is always ready and available in the beginning.
02:01:36.440
And then eventually it changes, but other things change with it.
02:01:41.920
It's just, you have to work for it and you have to plan it a little bit more.
02:02:03.520
As soon as my male friend's wife got drunk, it would get really aggressive.
02:02:13.300
Was there a political leaning in the group of gladiators that you could notice?
02:02:32.640
Because COVID, I think COVID, actually, I'm not supposed to bring this up.
02:02:37.340
But it opened the door because everybody was at home.
02:02:41.600
So, so I don't think, I thought, I think before you could be a Republican, you could be a Democrat,
02:02:48.460
Yeah, now it's, you know, there's such a divisive line, you know, where people unfriend people
02:02:54.940
And, you know, my, my partner, my partner, Kim is that way.
02:03:00.320
I have friends who are Republican, I have friends who are liberal, I have friends who
02:03:05.080
So I have friends from all parties and look, okay, and we should be able to have an open
02:03:15.560
We can have different opinions and we can still agree to be friends.
02:03:20.540
But it's like you said, your girlfriend, she's like, no, I can't do that.
02:03:23.760
So in other words, if your girlfriend found out that we were purple, she might not want
02:03:33.800
Because the, the right's too far and the left is too far.
02:03:42.520
On the edges and everyone on, on the other side of the party, they always look at the most
02:03:48.600
radical of that party and they're afraid that what, that's what the party is.
02:03:55.360
And generally the parties, look, they're, if we're getting into politics, I think the
02:03:59.900
biggest challenge is that so many people are one voter issues.
02:04:09.720
They don't look at the whole body of what the different political parties stand for.
02:04:13.800
I think you have to look at like, you know, look what I believe.
02:04:22.660
You know, I think you have to look at all the issues and, uh, again, I hate that it's
02:04:27.680
It's very, uh, there's, there's a specific term, but I, I think you said it, Lori, both
02:04:35.060
There's a specific, I can't think of the term, but we have puffy Vegas here.
02:04:48.560
You got to spell check these before you send them in, buddy.
02:05:01.200
You said that you don't like really the muscular type of women.
02:05:12.540
You have different politics than me and you have a different body count than me.
02:05:21.280
I'm going to, I'm going to use the big boys room.
02:05:25.820
So I think we're, excuse me, we're all caught up here on, on the chats.
02:05:31.220
Lori, would you consider yourself, um, more of like the masculine woman in the relationship,
02:05:42.080
Um, I, I've got to say I'm, I'm still right down the middle on that.
02:05:48.180
I, I like to take care of, but I like to be taken care of.
02:05:53.860
So that, that's a hard thing to find, to be honest with you.
02:06:00.520
So therefore it's like finding someone that actually can handle me, you know, just because
02:06:12.740
And so therefore whoever the girl is, it's like, she's got to know how to handle me.
02:06:19.680
That's, I mean, my girlfriend and I, it's like, she handles me very well.
02:06:25.580
And a lot of people are like, holy shit, two Aries in the same household.
02:06:28.380
But it's like, you know, my past girlfriend was a Taurus.
02:06:31.340
And so when we argued, there was like fucking heads and she would just like come after me
02:06:34.620
and I'd go after her, you know, in the argument.
02:06:37.380
But with this one, it's like, she understands me.
02:06:42.060
So we'll argue and I'll, well, I will be arguing.
02:06:45.240
And it's like, she'll just sit there and look at me and then she'll just smile and go,
02:06:56.560
So, I mean, as far as the masculine one in the relationship, no, not necessarily.
02:07:01.080
I mean, I, I tend to take on that role sometimes, but at the same time, I still love being that
02:07:12.060
Because I feel like a lot of, um, relationship these days where it's two women, there's always
02:07:20.080
That plays a masculine part and one that plays a feminine part.
02:07:24.340
I, there's never been any role playing in my relationships whatsoever.
02:07:28.480
You guys both kind of just pick up what each other lacks in.
02:07:31.720
And that's kind of, I think in, in any relationship, to be quite honest with you.
02:07:59.060
Um, when I was, when I was doing gladiators, I did a couple of television shows and I actually
02:08:04.900
Um, so Drew and I actually went to a couple of premieres together, different things in
02:08:10.480
And then that's where Sam was actually producing one of the Drew Carey shows.
02:08:16.940
Um, super nice guy, you know, um, not necessarily my type, but just a super nice guy.
02:08:24.400
Um, we wound up, I actually lived with him for about, uh, three to six months, somewhere
02:08:31.260
So I wanted to leave house was haunted, like creaking and that sort of like, no, he actually
02:08:40.320
He definitely said, he goes, there was a female apparition sitting on the end of his bed.
02:08:50.380
But just him telling me these stories, like if I had to come home at night, you know,
02:08:57.800
It was a bit creepy, you know, because I could hear things throughout the house and I'm like,
02:09:04.220
he's been like super spiritual my whole entire life.
02:09:06.540
So like, I believe in ghosts and demons and all that stuff.
02:09:21.480
I, I mean, it got to the point to where he was, he was extremely into me.
02:09:27.060
Um, I was, I was dating girls and I was like, can't we bring girls into this?
02:09:39.960
It's like, I'd rather only disappoint one woman at a time.
02:09:50.420
I think it was more, he just wanted me a hundred percent to himself.
02:10:00.140
You know, he's like, have my child and basically I'll take care of you.
02:10:11.220
Still, even though, even at that, I was like, you had to go a different way.
02:10:17.920
You know, we had great, we, we, we, we became very good friends and remained friends until
02:10:27.580
So, and the reason I brought up Lori about how, uh, you're not so much into the muscular
02:10:34.220
Dan, you had an encounter with a muscular woman, perhaps more than one.
02:10:43.480
Oh, you know, in, in the book, Gladiator, um, a true story of Roy's rage redemption.
02:10:48.200
I, I changed the name to protect the innocent if anybody was innocent.
02:10:54.860
So no, um, I, I've, I, you know, look, I've like, uh, all like I'm mumbling over my words
02:11:05.460
Um, there was a girl I dated and, uh, she was a former bodybuilder.
02:11:11.760
She wasn't huge at that time, but, uh, I think what you're referring to is, um, something
02:11:36.140
I was just not expecting that to come out of your mouth.
02:11:38.260
I guess if you, as a woman, if you take, uh, PDs or, you know, I think large amounts,
02:12:12.320
Do you really want your daughter to share about that?
02:12:36.240
I mean, I don't know if you, this is, this is going to get some X rated here.
02:12:53.560
Oh, the, the, the, the, the, you mean like the, the consistent.
02:12:56.120
There's nothing attractive about balls at all whatsoever.
02:13:01.740
A lot of girls find them attractive though, I think.
02:13:08.500
I haven't met any girls, straight girls that go, oh my God, balls are so cool.
02:13:19.940
Thank you very much for the gift of memberships.
02:13:30.080
I won't mention the person's name, but it was on tour.
02:13:33.540
And somebody said, oh my God, he's got the biggest balls I've ever seen.
02:13:54.760
I don't know if, like, you know, look, usually guys are, couldn't be proud if, you know,
02:14:00.560
Um, but I don't know if you have, you know, elephantitis of the testicles.
02:14:06.080
If that's something you're like, yo, bro, you know, check it out.
02:14:21.300
I feel like a lot of guys, I don't know, like around my age, I would say like having small
02:14:30.660
Well, I mean, like to have big balls, like cojones, there's that component.
02:14:47.240
They only care in the sense that they can gratificate their partner.
02:14:56.520
Are you going to stand for this kind of language from your daughter?
02:15:04.140
You did encounter a woman who was on steroids and I guess made the clip bigger, apparently.
02:15:25.200
It was just interesting something physically to see.
02:15:29.380
In technical terms, it looked like she had a little penis.
02:15:44.040
And, you know, she was like, she didn't want to get naked.
02:15:51.120
She didn't want to get naked because, you know, it was a thing for her.
02:15:55.900
But, you know, I'm sure there's a website for girls with large.
02:16:12.020
I can't believe we're actually talking about this right now.
02:16:33.440
This doesn't happen to every girl who takes testosterone.
02:16:37.520
And, you know, she, I remember she, like, she actually cried because she was ashamed.
02:16:41.340
And that hurt me that, you know, she was ashamed of something because, you know,
02:16:46.140
I think everything's got beauty in its own way.
02:16:49.060
Well, it's kind of like being with a man that has a micropenis.
02:16:58.120
She's like, it's kind of being with a man who has a micropenis.
02:17:06.200
I think I was, I was with one when I was super young.
02:17:14.300
Clark, but I think I was like 20, I want to say, around that area.
02:17:34.560
I kind of feel bad for men who have the micropenis.
02:17:42.880
I mean, what is considered micro and what's considered average?
02:17:51.160
Because some people are, you know, growers, not showers.
02:18:03.380
She just went, she was like, that's two inches.
02:18:06.020
No, but there's like micro where it's like an inch less than an inch.
02:18:25.940
I don't know if it's, it's certainly below average, but micro is like a very, I think
02:18:30.620
it's almost a medical term for like very, very small.
02:18:50.840
Like a corresponding, like what's the equivalent of a micropenis for a woman?
02:18:57.800
If a woman is, has a small, um, vaginal entrance.
02:19:11.720
Wait, if it's probably like a woman with small breasts or no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
02:19:19.600
I feel like that'd be the closest comparison to what you're talking about.
02:19:24.160
I think there is no equivalent for, you know, micro for something that a woman has.
02:19:34.740
I think, um, yeah, I think if you ever want to tease a guy, you know, like if a girl wants
02:19:39.440
to say something bad about a guy, she'll say, oh, he had a little wee wee.
02:19:42.440
Even if it's a lie, you know, just cause they know that messes with the male psyche so much.
02:19:46.920
Well, what's the go-to thing if you're trying to mess with a woman?
02:20:00.880
No, I'm just saying, I don't agree with it, but like, you know, in a puritanical patriarchal
02:20:12.840
Put the scar to letter on her, you know what I mean?
02:20:15.500
You know what I think is really unfair is if women sleep with a lot of men, they're judged
02:20:23.280
For example, if a guy does the same thing, then he's called gay.
02:20:32.920
Okay, so the joke is, if a woman sleeps with a lot of men, she's a slut, but if a guy does
02:21:15.520
Since we're on the topic of just absolute degenerate conversation here.
02:21:30.400
Someone, you have to leave something for the book.
02:21:35.180
The funny thing was about the banana is that the girl's a very good friend of mine still.
02:21:39.540
And we went to a book signing together and she was like, hi, I'm the banana girl.
02:21:47.600
And she was kind of like laughed, you know, and she's very comfortable with herself.
02:21:51.060
So I think that's all you need to know about the banana.
02:22:09.960
Got a couple more questions here and then we're going to wrap up pretty soon.
02:22:25.060
So I have a couple Asian friends and I've heard from a lot of Asian men that they struggle
02:22:31.260
with dating and they find that they encounter a lot of women who either by their own admission
02:22:37.420
that they don't find them attractive or they've even told me that even some Asian women don't
02:22:49.920
So did you ever feel that you struggled with dating because you were Asian?
02:23:05.140
I'll post on Instagram me as a 10-year-old kid.
02:23:12.020
That chubby Asian-looking kid with the bull haircut.
02:23:14.800
Nobody looked at that guy and thought it would be this guy.
02:23:17.380
So when I started dating is when I also started lying about my race.
02:23:26.420
It was like when I was a freshman in high school because I was teased when I was fifth, sixth
02:23:32.000
grades, slanted-eyed rice picker, oh no, rice again, all the jokes.
02:23:35.760
Even though I was half Asian, I grew up in Orange County, an all-white area, right?
02:23:39.860
So when I changed high schools and I moved to Santa Ana, I made up a new story.
02:23:46.760
I'm a surfer and I grew my hair out and I became, you know, cool.
02:23:55.580
And then when I moved to Hollywood, I was long hair.
02:23:59.700
I was anything but not to be Asian because it was painful, those memories of kids teasing
02:24:15.320
And the fact that I lied about my race, my heritage, really, really hurt her.
02:24:20.220
So on American Gladiators, we went and did a show in Japan towards the end of American
02:24:27.660
And I made it my goal to go on the Japanese version of Gladiators and speak in Japanese
02:24:37.520
Now, I'd only seen my mom cry two times because my mom is Asian, you know, Japanese, and they
02:24:43.260
She cried once when I was 10 years old and my 12-year-old brother died in my arms.
02:24:50.460
And the next time she cried was when I was 27 years old when she saw me on TV speaking
02:24:59.100
So I did not feel that women didn't date me because I was Asian, because I lied about it.
02:25:13.720
Because, I mean, like I said, I've heard from a lot of my Asian friends.
02:25:18.620
Maybe there's some sort of stereotyping or some degree of discrimination.
02:25:34.840
I've heard that before, that, you know, it's hard that a lot of Caucasian girls don't like
02:25:39.300
Asians, and even Asian girls don't like Asian men.
02:25:42.020
But I think that's a stereotype that's going away a little bit more.
02:25:56.960
So, what I previously said on a different episode was that I've never, like, I'm not
02:26:06.820
I have a boyfriend, so I obviously wouldn't go for an Asian man right now.
02:26:10.560
But I've never really found myself, like, gravitating towards one, you know?
02:26:20.320
Look, you're attracted to what you're attracted to.
02:26:22.160
Like, my, the very first, like, the two guys I first ever liked in my entire life were,
02:26:36.260
Yeah, I think, look, I look at this generation, I feel like they're more colorblind than we
02:26:44.900
At least, you know, that's kind of what I see when, you know, I talk to my 12-year-old
02:26:50.640
And it's not like, ooh, I don't like her, she's Asian.
02:26:56.820
Yeah, but I think even kids, I mean, before we wrap this thing up, I think kids don't
02:27:01.520
I think that our society teaches them to see color.
02:27:05.580
But when you're growing up, you don't see color, unless your parents do.
02:27:10.420
I mean, same thing with pretty much anything across the board.
02:27:13.460
And for the, when you guys did a show in Japan, was it like a one-time show?
02:27:35.240
No, I just, it never, it never presented itself.
02:27:38.800
I don't, I mean, if the girl's beautiful, it's not like I'm going to go, oh God, no,
02:27:49.120
That's all they do is a, my buddy, Tony Brill, that's all he would do all through college.
02:27:57.280
There could be the most beautiful models, you know, right next to him and, you know, Caucasian
02:28:05.560
Like, cause when we say Asian, it's like there's Asian American and then there's women
02:28:10.400
from who've grown up in Asia, like from Japan, Korea, South Korea, I suppose North, North
02:28:19.220
Uh, so like never even, uh, like an Asian American woman, just no, never, never presented
02:28:28.600
So it's not like, you know, obviously one came on to me and I was like, oh God, no, no,
02:28:52.500
Oh, uh, so the Japanese, uh, show the, for American gladiators, were they running their own
02:28:59.300
thing and you went over there to like be on it or was it just like a one time?
02:29:03.760
Um, so, so American gladiators, we had it in America and that show played in, ran in 40
02:29:10.040
different countries, but there were nine countries that did their own version of gladiators.
02:29:18.360
Australian, Finland, Germany, and, uh, Japan had a show called, uh, kind of bam, bam, bam,
02:29:24.820
bam, bam, bam, bam, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
02:29:28.120
And the gladiators was part of the bang, bang, bang, bang, show.
02:29:31.380
So we went over and then we did different events and stuff.
02:29:36.720
So we used to have this event called Atlasphere.
02:29:41.660
We were like hamsters and we ran in these round cages and we would bust into each other.
02:29:45.860
So you can look it up on YouTube, uh, Atlasphere, American gladiators.
02:29:51.800
So when I got in there, I got in there, I was tall.
02:29:55.420
And the first time we, I clanged with somebody, my head hit the top of the cage and split wide
02:30:10.320
We go to the doctor, uh, after the surgeon and I look at, I said, Hey, look, you know,
02:30:20.900
And you know, in America, they'd be like, Oh no, no, you got it.
02:30:25.040
And he starts coming with a needle towards my head.
02:30:35.000
So, uh, and Nick, can you pull up, uh, Lori's Instagram?
02:30:41.120
I saw on your Instagram that you had met or you're friends with Kevin Costner.
02:30:45.560
Are you guys still friends with, with, were you friends with,
02:30:49.000
just him, his wife or, um, actually, no, I owned a tanning salon, uh, back in the day
02:31:03.700
And it was always my boyfriend, this, my boyfriend, that we'd go on hikes together.
02:31:08.140
Finally, one day I'm just like, who is your boyfriend?
02:31:12.540
I was like, I mean, I just kind of was like, Florida.
02:31:17.040
Oh, uh, FTG, thank you for the gifted 50 memberships.
02:31:20.760
So, um, we became very good friends and, um, we got invited to his wedding in Aspen.
02:31:28.320
Um, and then they actually have a house up here in Santa Barbara.
02:31:31.120
So they sold their house in the Hollywood Hills, moved up here.
02:31:33.660
Um, yeah, it's, they're awesome people, but unfortunately we, we lost contact basically
02:31:40.320
when she started having children, you know, she became the mom.
02:31:45.340
Cause yeah, Kevin Costner, they recently, uh, got divorced.
02:31:52.220
Um, are, what, do you guys have any thoughts on, uh, cause it's a pretty, been a pretty publicized.
02:32:01.380
And that's something it's like, you know, I don't wish that upon anybody and I feel
02:32:06.000
sorry for both parties because you know, it is, it's, you know, both parties, but you
02:32:13.160
So I know that Kevin had the very, I think he had the most expensive divorce, his first
02:32:18.500
So I can only imagine what this one's going to be.
02:32:21.020
I think cause they're, they're actually conducting the, the court case here in Santa Barbara County.
02:32:25.780
And, uh, my understanding is that she was, uh, she asked for, I think 250,000 a month
02:32:34.220
in, I think combined spousal and child support.
02:32:37.880
I think it got ruled for, uh, 120,000, I think is what she's getting per month, which like
02:32:47.080
But then what's on top of that, but what's on top of that, because I know, you know, you
02:32:50.600
got to look at these, a lot of the celebrities and that is they have the prenups, but then
02:32:54.300
afterwards and he did Yellowstone and he did all that.
02:32:56.780
So it's, it's going to be a costly, but again, it's, I don't know everything about that.
02:33:01.780
And I kind of don't want to know, you know, um, that's their business and it's just too
02:33:07.300
bad that they're actually going through this and I feel sad for them.
02:33:10.740
You know, it's sad for the kids, but I disagree in the fact that a divorce always has to end
02:33:16.380
You know, just because something ends, it doesn't have to end badly.
02:33:19.580
I think that's up to the two people and how they decide to end it.
02:33:23.000
And even if you're with a partner and they are behaving badly or wrong, that doesn't mean
02:33:27.760
you have to, you can control what you can do and who you are and how you want to be.
02:33:31.900
In that relationship, my last one relationship that I had for 12 years, I just made it my
02:33:36.720
I said, just because this romantic journey ended badly, it doesn't mean that we have to
02:33:46.040
I'm going to go out of my way to give her everything she wants.
02:33:54.700
Wait, was, was this a divorce or a 12 year relationship?
02:33:59.940
Like, well, my son, well, my stepson and his mother, uh, the husband, um, they're both
02:34:07.000
And I think that's a new model of what a breakup can look like.
02:34:15.860
And it's really nice to see that that's an option because I think too many times we look
02:34:23.180
And even the words broke up, you know, we got ripped apart.
02:34:26.680
You know, they're just so negative in their connotation.
02:34:29.660
I think, um, you know, look, we tried, it didn't work.
02:34:35.340
And, you know, we just want to do something else and that's okay.
02:34:44.580
When Madison turns 21, do you guys get to like present alcohol to these things?
02:34:51.960
We have, we have a lot of people or drink on here.
02:34:55.480
We, uh, like, I think it would make the shows in some ways it could make them a little more
02:35:00.320
spicy, but we have concern of like, if we even, you've considered it.
02:35:05.820
Well, even someone who's over 21, it's like, Oh, uh, they brought us on the show and then
02:35:12.820
And then we said all the stupid stuff and then they're going to, it's going to be like,
02:35:16.420
So we don't want, Oh no, I was just thinking we've been sitting here so long.
02:35:20.700
Oh, we have some, some wine and some white, uh, white claws or something.
02:35:24.780
If you guys want any, it would have been, it'd be like bachelor in paradise.
02:35:27.900
Everybody's drunk and the inhibitions go down because you know, alcohol affects the brain,
02:35:32.140
The number one thing it does is there's something in your brain that causes us to be inhibited
02:35:39.040
But I think with the shows that I've seen of you guys, which means the body count goes
02:35:42.440
up, the shows I've seen you guys, I think everyone speaks pretty freely, especially the
02:35:50.840
I was watching them before we came on the show and I'm like, Oh, that's entertaining.
02:35:58.300
But, uh, but you know, what's interesting is the issues are the same, you know, you guys
02:36:03.200
talk about, you know, the same dating issues we talked about in our day.
02:36:07.320
And it's nice to be able to come back here, you know, from being in that world at that
02:36:11.820
age that you guys and your panels in to come back and say, Oh God, I remember those.
02:36:23.160
We got a couple of chats here and then we'll wrap up the show.
02:36:43.560
And last one, we have vapor alien first time commenting, but I absolutely love having such
02:36:50.300
a gap in age talking about dating, talking about dating.
02:36:56.080
Well, uh, they're only like five years older than us.
02:37:07.340
Um, I think the only other thing was, uh, do you guys feel that, uh, I know both of you
02:37:12.520
have been in rather long term relationships, but do you feel that, uh, dating has changed
02:37:18.240
significantly back when you, you guys were, you know, throughout the eighties, nineties compared
02:37:28.260
I don't, I don't, I, I wouldn't want to be in it right now whatsoever.
02:37:34.400
Well, it's good that you've been in a long relationship.
02:37:36.260
You've avoided the, uh, and my long relationship is losing her shit right now.
02:37:42.120
So, yeah, what you're saying is when I watched the show, when I watched you guys, it didn't
02:37:50.360
Does he like me is, you know, what's the penis size?
02:37:54.100
Those are all things I was concerned about at that age.
02:37:58.580
Maybe the delivery service, you know, before we used to actually mail letters and you actually
02:38:04.540
So the delivery service of using an app to date has changed.
02:38:07.660
But I think the problems haven't changed and the challenges except for now, I think as
02:38:13.260
men, you have to be much more careful what you do and what you say.
02:38:18.940
And you always have to go and go out of your way to get, you know, which rightfully it should
02:38:28.400
And I think that's probably the biggest change and a good change.
02:38:41.580
It's a nice change of pace to have some people with intellect.
02:38:45.620
All the girls in 304s got kind of tiring and mind numbing.
02:38:59.660
Obviously, normally we have these big seven to 10 people panels and we've got like content
02:39:12.620
I thought it was a fun conversation and something new.
02:39:25.920
You could have been anywhere in the world, but you were here with me.
02:39:28.960
Thank you to everyone who super chatted, donates, and supports the show.
