You're in big trouble though, pal. I eat pieces of shit like me for breakfast.

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,640
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

No.

00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:51,460
Here, here, here, here, here. Welcome to Breakfast of Champions. This is season one, episode seven.

7
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:54,740
Good morning. My name is Rene Floyd.

8
00:00:54,740 --> 00:00:55,940
I'm Parker Howard.

9
00:00:55,940 --> 00:01:02,740
We are here in the early hours of the morning, both pretty exhausted, I would say.

10
00:01:02,740 --> 00:01:05,380
We're doing this for y'all. This is for the low of the game this morning.

11
00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:09,860
I text Parker and I was like, hey man, no worries if you're tired.

12
00:01:09,860 --> 00:01:13,700
Kind of hoping I'd get back that I'm tired text. I can't sleep.

13
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:18,500
My alarm went off like what? 10 or 15 minutes after you texted. You're like, hey,

14
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:20,900
no worries. And I'm russana back.

15
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:21,400
Yeah.

16
00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:26,180
I mean, it's 730, but I think you've been up since six.

17
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:27,380
Ish, yeah.

18
00:01:27,380 --> 00:01:30,660
Yeah. And I got up about 6, 2630.

19
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:36,260
So I woke up and the first thing I heard was my son opening his door and running out to try to

20
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:40,820
turn on the TV. And I was like, my alarm just had gone off and I don't think he heard it.

21
00:01:40,820 --> 00:01:43,380
But I just went out there and I was like, hey man, what are you doing?

22
00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:46,580
He's like, where's the cat? Because we just got a new kitten.

23
00:01:46,580 --> 00:01:49,700
And I was like, she's in the front room. You're good.

24
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:51,460
I was like, it's too early. Why don't you go back to sleep?

25
00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:55,940
He's like, I'm not tired. So then I made him go back to his room and I kind of got all my stuff

26
00:01:55,940 --> 00:02:00,500
ready to go to come here. I checked in his room and he just sound asleep again.

27
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:02,980
I'm like, you're such a liar. Go back to sleep.

28
00:02:02,980 --> 00:02:05,620
My kids have been doing the opposite. So I've been working nights.

29
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:10,660
And I've been getting home between two and 3.30 in the morning and I'll get home.

30
00:02:10,660 --> 00:02:15,620
Both my kids are still up. And I'm like, what are you guys doing up?

31
00:02:15,620 --> 00:02:17,460
It is so late. They're like, what are you doing up?

32
00:02:17,460 --> 00:02:20,500
You're just getting home. We've been home. I'm like, all right.

33
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:23,780
Do you know where your dad's at? Yeah. It's 3 AM.

34
00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:25,140
Do you know where your dad's at? Exactly.

35
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:28,500
Yeah. He's watching Inside Out 2 for the last time.

36
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:34,900
Yeah. So we've had a couple of great guests the past couple of weeks.

37
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:40,900
If you're listening to us live, that means last week we just dropped a Fort Worth float

38
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:46,420
company with Kevin O'Malley. And I got a chance to listen back to that episode while we were doing

39
00:02:46,420 --> 00:02:52,580
editing and uploading and stuff. And I just forgot all the funny little nuances of that episode.

40
00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:56,180
So our third co-host who's not here today. That's right. Where's he at? Why isn't he

41
00:02:56,180 --> 00:03:02,420
up at 6 AM? He's probably up. He's probably training. He's probably floating. He's sharpening

42
00:03:02,420 --> 00:03:08,980
all of his skills. And he recently took a kick to the leg. I don't know if you follow float

43
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:12,900
worth Fort company or Kevin does cool stuff. I think that's what it is. Kevin does stuff.

44
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:21,860
Kevin does stuff. Kevin with an A. He had, I think it was Hassan. No.

45
00:03:22,580 --> 00:03:25,060
I'm not quite sure. Rissak Hassan. Something like that.

46
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:31,300
Hassan I think is his name. A UFC fighter came in to do some recovery and completely just gave him

47
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:38,100
a nice little, a nice little leg kick, you know, a nice little regular you see every day in the UFC

48
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:42,420
leg kick. And the way that it sounded in Kevin's face afterwards, even though he doesn't really

49
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:47,460
show much emotion as it is, it was just like his face is like eyebrow kind of was like, thank you.

50
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:51,060
Yeah. Classic Kevin response.

51
00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:57,300
Yeah. So big shout out to Kevin O'Malley, Fort Worth float company. Also big shout out to Mr.

52
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:01,140
James Gray and all the good work that he's doing out in Weatherford. I've gotten a lot of positive

53
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:06,100
responses from that episode. I heard a lot of good comments from that. So thank you guys for

58
00:04:29,780 --> 00:04:34,980
to kind of throw back to a duo episode, kind of back to where, back to our roots, back to where

59
00:04:34,980 --> 00:04:40,260
we started, just Parker and I kind of shooting the shit and talking breakfast and talking violence.

60
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:47,540
So you have any, anything before we move on to tasting, any interesting anecdotes or any fun

61
00:04:47,540 --> 00:04:53,780
tales that I haven't heard in the past week? I don't think so. No, I've, it's been a quiet

62
00:04:53,780 --> 00:05:00,900
week for me. That's wonderful to hear. You know, we, we've been trying to think of like cool things

63
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:07,380
to do. And I recently have been trying to think about like my breakfast routine. And so I've been

64
00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:13,380
trying to volunteer to cook breakfast for my family so that a way I can kind of like get in

65
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:20,580
the mood of like eating breakfast. So, uh, Faye's a big lover of eggs and sourdough bread. And so

66
00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:25,460
for the past couple of days, she's been doing scrambled eggs with sourdough bread toast. And

67
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:32,340
that's her get down. And then usually when I make an egg, I hear, honey, can you make me an egg too?

68
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:37,940
From the other, from the other bedroom. So, uh, Allie's jam, she's been doing, uh, the same

69
00:05:37,940 --> 00:05:44,900
sourdough bread with like a cherry preserve, uh, and a hard fried or over hard egg. And so we've

70
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:51,940
been doing a lot of breakfast cooking, uh, Rhodes is super into, uh, uh, Kodiak cakes has protein,

71
00:05:51,940 --> 00:05:56,580
uh, that protein mix. That's his get down. So he'd double dark chocolates that all the time. And

72
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:02,820
so, uh, his, his jam is to toggle back and forth between waffles and pancakes with the same mix,

73
00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:06,260
even though they're the exact same thing. He's like, can you make pancakes this time? And I'm

74
00:06:06,260 --> 00:06:12,180
like, sure, man, you got it. So the Kodiak cakes are good. And like I said, um, I forget which

75
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:16,420
episode it was, but if you get that apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice, just a dash of that

76
00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:21,780
in there. Oh yeah. Take it up a notch. So yeah, been doing a lot of breakfast stuff. I recently

77
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:28,740
went and saw my family, um, in El Paso, my sister graduated and I sent you a picture of my dad's

78
00:06:28,740 --> 00:06:34,740
pancakes. That's a staple. Anytime we go to El Paso or anytime my dad comes to visit, he is the

79
00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:42,180
pancake master, big, thick, fluffy pancakes. Uh, this time, uh, he had help Rhodes wanted to help.

80
00:06:42,180 --> 00:06:50,100
So, uh, Rhodes got to either sprinkle in blueberries, uh, what else did he have? Blueberries,

81
00:06:51,140 --> 00:06:56,820
pecans, sprinkles and chocolate chips. So you kind of like got to choose how you choose your

82
00:06:56,820 --> 00:07:02,340
adventure pancake wise. And then he also, uh, I think he cooked two pounds of bacon. Yeah.

83
00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:06,580
Yeah. He was like, I need, I need somebody to go get me another pound of bacon. I don't think one

84
00:07:06,580 --> 00:07:12,260
pounds enough. Yeah. So we've, we've had some good breakfast times the past week. Did he microwave

85
00:07:12,260 --> 00:07:21,540
the bacon? No, of course not. For he is not a heathen. He is right with the Lord. So we, uh,

86
00:07:21,540 --> 00:07:25,700
again, because I've been working so late and my kids are up late, we've been doing brunch instead

87
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:31,460
of breakfast. And, uh, I made waffles from scratch the other day and I made some whipped cream.

88
00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:35,940
Heather made some lavender syrup. And so we've had that in the fridge, like add to coffee,

89
00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:39,060
but I was like, you know, I'm gonna make whipped cream from scratch. And I added that lavender

90
00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:46,580
syrup in there. Is that sounds amazing. Yeah, it was nice. It was very light and floral added

91
00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:52,900
blueberries to it. But yeah, that was, that was good stuff. And then, uh, I mean, I mean, we get

92
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:58,180
chickens and ducks, you know, to help with gardening and insects in the back, but really it's for the

93
00:07:58,180 --> 00:08:05,780
eggs. Like right now we go through about 60 eggs or not, not 60, about, uh, like 32 eggs a week.

94
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:09,700
I was buying them 60 at a time and we'd go through about 60 in two weeks.

95
00:08:10,340 --> 00:08:17,060
But yeah, we're a, we're egg loving family. Yeah. Eggs are pretty good. Uh, are you a fan of,

96
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:22,020
you don't mind cooking your own egg and then eating it? No, no, no, I can't fucking do that.

97
00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:27,060
Somebody else has to cook my egg. Like, I don't know what it is. I'll cook you an egg as long as

98
00:08:27,060 --> 00:08:30,900
the day is long and be fine with it. But the second you tell me that I have to cook my own egg and

99
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:38,180
eat it, I'm like, I'm going to vomit everywhere. So here, so you're saying, uh, Faye likes scrambled

100
00:08:38,180 --> 00:08:45,380
eggs. Does she like them hard scrambled, soft scrambled? In the medium. Yeah. I, I can't really

101
00:08:45,380 --> 00:08:49,220
do scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs gross me out, which is weird. Most people are like grossed out

102
00:08:49,220 --> 00:08:58,660
by like over easy, over medium. Um, but, uh, this goes back to when I was in college and I had a bad

103
00:08:58,660 --> 00:09:06,020
experience with some powdered eggs in the college line, my first week of school. And I've never been

104
00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:12,180
able to enjoy scrambled eggs the same. Like I can, if they are super hard scrambled or like omelet,

105
00:09:13,140 --> 00:09:16,820
even omelets are kind of hard, especially if they're not cooked right. If they're still like a

106
00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:21,780
little runny in the middle, some juice that goes along with scrambled egg juice and omelet juice.

107
00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:27,220
Like I can't even take a bite of it. There's omelet juice. I am done. Squeeze all of the juice

108
00:09:27,220 --> 00:09:36,500
out of that egg. It's like over medium to over hard. Great. Love it. Sunny side up. Not really.

109
00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:40,900
Yeah. It's getting a little close to raw for me. Scrambled. I have to scramble my own eggs and I

110
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:46,500
have to like scramble them hard. I love that. Yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm that way about a couple of things.

111
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:51,940
Like I'll, I'll, I will cook every single day and have no problem like cooking for my family or

112
00:09:51,940 --> 00:09:58,260
cooking for other people. Um, but sometimes it just like me cooking my own food. I'm just like,

113
00:09:58,260 --> 00:10:05,220
Oh, why do I feel like this after I'm ready to eat certain foods? I mean, also like my history

114
00:10:05,220 --> 00:10:15,220
of food and dietary restrictions, uh, it, it gets weird with certain types of proteins. Uh, I have a

115
00:10:15,220 --> 00:10:19,700
hard time eating things I cook. Like I'll make stuff for people. This is so good. Why aren't you

116
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:27,620
eating? Like I handled it from start to finish and I just can't eat it now. Yeah. So similar,

117
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:32,820
sorry. I keep on, we're not, we're just shooting this. This is a regular episode. We have no guests

118
00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:38,340
here. We have no intentions or we're just, you know, just shooting it. But, uh, this past week

119
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:42,820
we had a friend that I made dinner for. We volunteered to provide dinner for their, for her

120
00:10:42,820 --> 00:10:48,580
and her family, just her and her and her basically. But, um, I made, uh, from scratch chicken and

121
00:10:48,580 --> 00:10:54,500
dumplings. And that's the same thing for me. I literally started at 10 30 in the morning.

122
00:10:55,140 --> 00:11:00,580
Um, you know, as soon as I got up, I washed all of the dishes and clean, I got my prep area

123
00:11:00,580 --> 00:11:06,260
cleaned and ready to go and started about 10 30. And I did not, I didn't finish up till like four

124
00:11:06,260 --> 00:11:14,100
30 and almost five. Um, from, I mean, boiling the chickens, you know, de-boning it, you know,

125
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:22,580
making the stock, making it creamier, like all of the things it takes so long and you're handling,

126
00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:28,260
you know, nast bones and raw chicken and stuff like that. So by the time that, you know,

127
00:11:28,260 --> 00:11:34,260
eight hours rolls around, you're just like, I'd rather have a burger now. Yeah. So yeah, chicken,

128
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:41,060
yeah. Handling raw chicken. It's always a weird thing. Eggs, chicken. Which came first? Um,

129
00:11:41,060 --> 00:11:48,900
obviously the chicken. Actually, was it, oh no, we're going to go back there. I'm sorry. I listened

130
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:55,380
to this episode of a very well-known podcast with Terrence Howard. And I think he didn't, he's,

131
00:11:55,380 --> 00:12:00,100
he said somewhere in there, which one came first? Like it was the chicken, right? Yeah. Yeah. You

132
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:05,140
gotta have the chicken first. Yeah. An egg can't have a chicken, but a chicken can have multiple

133
00:12:05,140 --> 00:12:11,140
eggs. But I remember before I was born. Oh, that's right. In your, in your womb. So this morning,

134
00:12:11,140 --> 00:12:16,740
I thought, you know, we've had a few guests give us their answer as to what their favorite

135
00:12:16,740 --> 00:12:22,260
breakfast cereal is. We already know what the goat is. So I just figured we'd keep it light. Uh,

136
00:12:22,260 --> 00:12:28,260
I'd have some cinnamon toast crunch this morning. Um, but there's a new kid in town when it comes

137
00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:34,740
to cinnamon crunch. Uh, I didn't, I wasn't aware of it, uh, till recently. It is the cinnamon toast

138
00:12:34,740 --> 00:12:40,580
crunch waffle, uh, cereal. And so I went ahead and got a little box of that for us to sample,

139
00:12:40,580 --> 00:12:46,580
just to give our initial, uh, that's a family size box. Well, that's the only size box that was

140
00:12:46,580 --> 00:12:52,660
available for the cinnamon toast crunch waffle. I meant these little Johns here, but, uh, yeah,

141
00:12:52,660 --> 00:12:55,860
no, this one is going to go home with me afterwards and the kids are probably going to

142
00:12:55,860 --> 00:13:01,860
learn about cinnamon toast crunch waffles. But, um, I just, I remembered you'd made waffles this week

143
00:13:01,860 --> 00:13:08,340
and a waffle house and cinnamon and being in waffle, uh, and pancake batter and that sort of

144
00:13:08,340 --> 00:13:14,900
thing. So I figured we just talk about some cinnamon toast crunch love and kind of give like, um,

145
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:18,980
you know what I was thinking about when I was thinking about this? Um, do you remember eating

146
00:13:18,980 --> 00:13:25,620
cinnamon toast crunch as a kid? Like, do you have very core memories? Super core memories. Like,

147
00:13:25,620 --> 00:13:30,740
cinnamon toast crunch tastes like my grandma's house. Yeah. So the one thing I was thinking

148
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:36,340
about is, do you remember the chef, the cinnamon toast crunch chef? Yeah, I do. He's, uh, nowhere

149
00:13:36,340 --> 00:13:41,380
to be seen on these guys. I know. So we just have the insane cinnamon square now who-

150
00:13:41,380 --> 00:13:42,660
Unhinged cinnamon square.

151
00:13:42,660 --> 00:13:47,940
That's what, I mean, they describe him as that. So he's a, yeah. So whenever I was a kid, there

152
00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:56,500
was this jolly older baker gentleman that was, uh, you know, the, the mascot for cinnamon toast

153
00:13:56,500 --> 00:14:01,780
crunch. And are we sure, or are we getting Mandela affected by that? Um, I'm pretty sure. I'm

154
00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:06,900
almost 100%. I mean, I definitely remember him, but yeah. And so in my mind, I was like, wait,

155
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:12,100
I thought the same thing. I was like, wait, was he a chef? Was he a baker or whatever? And then

156
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:15,220
I was thinking about like, like the same thing that you were saying, I thought there might've

157
00:14:15,220 --> 00:14:23,060
been more than one. And then I started thinking, well, isn't that snap, crackle and pop? So,

158
00:14:24,260 --> 00:14:30,100
yeah, no. So I was taking a little deep dive into the cinnamon crunch lore, but cinnamon

159
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:35,220
toast crunch is actually not known as cinnamon toast crunch all the way around the world.

160
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:40,980
If you're listening to us in French, Canada, we're actually talking about croquet canele.

161
00:14:40,980 --> 00:14:47,940
Hey, and if you're over in the UK, mate, we're talking about curiously cinnamon, isn't it?

162
00:14:48,980 --> 00:14:57,460
Isn't it? Previously called seminin grams. So, uh, yeah. So if you, that's,

163
00:14:57,460 --> 00:15:03,380
that's my London accent. I love it. Uh, if you're in Latin America, you may know these as city minis.

164
00:15:03,380 --> 00:15:08,500
So, uh, yeah, that's a good one. I love that. I didn't know that any, you know, I knew that it

165
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:12,580
was probably available all the way around the world, but it's almost kind of like a movie where

166
00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:17,780
it's like here, it's like the, the last hope, but in China, it's like big stand or whatever.

167
00:15:17,780 --> 00:15:24,900
You know what I mean? Uh, so, uh, cinnamon toast crunch came out in 1984. Uh, it was first produced

168
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:33,540
by general mills. Uh, it was a cereal that was, uh, obviously by the name, I mean, Wayne and Garth.

169
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:38,100
So it's not just a clever name, but, uh, cinnamon toast crunch. It was supposed to be a crunchy

170
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:46,340
cereal that, uh, would, uh, withhold the, the, the milkiness. So, um, yeah. Um, it's a wheat and rice

171
00:15:46,340 --> 00:15:51,380
covered, uh, square that has cinnamon and sugar all over it. And you can tell that it's the real

172
00:15:51,380 --> 00:15:56,980
thing because you can see the cinnamon sugar on it. I mean, I'm looking at the little container

173
00:15:56,980 --> 00:16:02,420
you brought and on the front, no high fructose corn syrup, no colors from artificial sources

174
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:06,740
and no artificial flavors. And when you look at the ingredients, first one is whole grain

175
00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:12,900
sugar, rice flour. So yeah, yeah. Those are the three first ingredients. And there's canola oil,

176
00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:17,940
which is kind of like, and then, and then after that, everything else is kind of just like,

177
00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:24,260
Oh God, I shouldn't have read this, but, uh, I'm still excited. Cause this is childhood.

178
00:16:24,260 --> 00:16:29,860
Yeah. Uh, so we were talking about like, uh, lightning rounds in the past couple of, uh,

179
00:16:30,580 --> 00:16:34,660
episodes with our guests. And one of the questions is, what is your favorite all time

180
00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:40,420
breakfast cereal and without fail, anytime we've talked to anybody, we hear again and again,

181
00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:46,500
cinnamon toast crunch. Uh, we haven't heard of another answer. It's my favorite cereal. Uh,

182
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:51,300
that's Parker's favorite cereal. Uh, I just don't think you can go wrong with it. Um,

183
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:57,700
if you have a strong hate for cinnamon toast crunch, I need for you to call me at six,

184
00:16:57,700 --> 00:17:05,060
eight, two, two nine four zero one zero one and state your case. Uh, I'm going to need you to go

185
00:17:05,060 --> 00:17:09,140
step further and meet me outside for the violence part of the package.

186
00:17:10,740 --> 00:17:15,540
So, um, one thing that I thought was cool is, uh, yeah. So the product was originally

187
00:17:15,540 --> 00:17:20,180
market outside of Europe with the mascot of a jolly Baker named Wendell. So he had a name

188
00:17:20,180 --> 00:17:26,340
Wendell. Uh, Wendell is then replaced by the mascot crazy squares, a sentient cinnamon toast

189
00:17:26,340 --> 00:17:31,460
crunch square that often eats that off. They often need each other in commercials, cannibalistic,

190
00:17:32,180 --> 00:17:39,780
unhinged cinnamon squares. I mean, when you name your mascot crazy, you just, you gotta make it,

191
00:17:39,780 --> 00:17:44,100
you gotta make it cannibalistic too. There's nothing else crazier besides eating yourself

192
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:49,380
for cinnamon toast breakfast cereal. And maybe that's why he's crazy is because he eats his own

193
00:17:49,380 --> 00:17:55,540
kind. I mean, that's what happens when humans eat humans, right? As you go crazy, like, yeah,

194
00:17:55,540 --> 00:18:03,380
it's like a brain disease. Yeah. Going, going from like wholesome older gentlemen, Baker to

195
00:18:03,380 --> 00:18:13,060
unhinged cinnamon square. That's a big leap. Like what all right, general Mills, like speaking of,

196
00:18:13,060 --> 00:18:19,300
did you see Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Yeah. Did you see that? Uh, oh, I can't even think of the name

197
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:26,420
of the movie now. Uh, that most recent Jerry Seinfeld Netflix movie about the unwrapped. Yeah.

198
00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:32,660
That was, yeah, that was something. Yeah. I was like, when I saw the preview for that, I was like,

199
00:18:32,660 --> 00:18:36,980
oh, it's going to be a fun documentary. But then it's like, this is Zany other world life. We're

200
00:18:38,020 --> 00:18:43,780
definitely breaking the fourth wall. The, uh, good stuff. The January six reenactment with the

201
00:18:43,780 --> 00:18:48,820
mascots was the best part of that. I heard about it and I was talking about it with one of my

202
00:18:48,820 --> 00:18:54,820
coworkers and he was like, I don't know. He saw it and he's like, don't waste your time. But then

203
00:18:54,820 --> 00:18:58,420
I had, I had a couple of friends text me and be like, yo, have you seen unwrapped? You need to

204
00:18:58,420 --> 00:19:03,460
watch it. You're going to love it. Yeah. I was right in the middle. I was like, I'm glad I watched

205
00:19:03,460 --> 00:19:09,060
it. I'll probably never watch it again. Sure. The January six reenactment was hilarious. Worth it.

206
00:19:09,060 --> 00:19:15,300
Worth it. Uh, also the fact that Jerry Seinfeld is still working in 2024 is kind of astounding.

207
00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:19,220
And I grew up watching Seinfeld. What do you mean? What's the deal with Jerry Seinfeld?

208
00:19:19,220 --> 00:19:25,380
What's the deal with Pop Tarts? They had frosting, then they took the frosting off.

209
00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:31,220
No. Um, so I thought it was cool that the cereal, one of the reasons that I think that the cereal

210
00:19:31,220 --> 00:19:38,180
is cool is because it was actually invented by a scientist. Um, John Mendish was a scientist at

211
00:19:38,180 --> 00:19:46,020
General Mills, him and his assistant product manager, wink, wink, Elizabeth Trey. Um, they

212
00:19:46,020 --> 00:19:52,420
actually got the idea from a child. Uh, they had a give us your best idea for a cereal radio contest.

213
00:19:52,420 --> 00:20:01,220
Um, and the prize was a set of Hot Wheels toys. So damn that kid got jipped, dude. Can I say that?

214
00:20:01,220 --> 00:20:06,580
Yeah. I don't probably have it. I mean, that you didn't say he got gypsied. You know what I mean?

215
00:20:06,580 --> 00:20:13,460
Or whatever it is. But I'm not going to go to rabbit hole. Uh, he got taken for a ride

216
00:20:13,460 --> 00:20:21,940
because he got Hot Wheels. See, he liked that. Perfect. So your favorite cereal was actually the

217
00:20:21,940 --> 00:20:29,460
idea of a unnamed child. And instead of giving that child the credit and the glory, they just

218
00:20:30,020 --> 00:20:34,180
give him some Hot Wheels and took his idea and made millions of dollars over the years.

219
00:20:34,180 --> 00:20:38,740
I heard that that child died in a horrible Hot Wheels accent and was reincarnated as a crazy,

220
00:20:38,740 --> 00:20:45,460
a crazy square square. Yeah. So in 85, there were three animated bakers, uh, as the mascots,

221
00:20:45,460 --> 00:20:53,220
there were three. We didn't Mandela affect that. Um, the other two bakers, Bob and Quello.

222
00:20:54,500 --> 00:21:02,340
They were Quello. Yeah. Q U E L L O. Quello. They were considerably more youthful, uh, and

223
00:21:02,340 --> 00:21:09,060
appearance than Wendell Wendell. Um, and then in 91, the younger bakers were dropped and Wendell

224
00:21:09,060 --> 00:21:14,900
was the sole mascot for several years. So our childhood was filled with Wendell, the, the,

225
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:20,740
the Jolly Baker. Uh, but then like I said, they went ahead and dropped him for the sentient crazy

226
00:21:20,740 --> 00:21:28,260
square. Snap, crackle and pop came for them. Yep. Um, have you tried any of the other spin-offs

227
00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:34,740
of cinnamon toast crunch? There was like a French toast crunch, I believe in like the late nineties

228
00:21:34,740 --> 00:21:40,900
or early two thousands French toast crunch was available in 1995. And then again in 2015. Wow.

229
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:47,300
Okay. So I had it in 1995. I remember not being super impressed with it. Yeah. I have tried a few

230
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:51,700
of the spin-offs and I don't like any of them. Um, that's why I'm kind of curious about this

231
00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:58,340
waffle spin-off here. I, so the waffle that brings up a memory and I'm trying to remember the cereal.

232
00:21:58,340 --> 00:22:02,740
There's a, it might've been, I don't think it was an Eggo waffle cereal, but there's a waffle cereal

233
00:22:03,460 --> 00:22:08,980
that I remember having as a kid and it had like a maple flavor to it. Okay. I think I know what

234
00:22:08,980 --> 00:22:12,660
you're talking about. And I remember really liking it because of the flavoring on it,

235
00:22:13,460 --> 00:22:18,340
but I remember not holding up too well to milk the way cinnamon toast crunch does,

236
00:22:18,340 --> 00:22:24,740
cause it was created by a scientist. That's right. A waffle crisp. Yeah, that's it. And then there was

237
00:22:24,740 --> 00:22:33,220
a Eggo cereal with maple syrup flavoring as well. Um, so there's these, these two, I'll show you a

238
00:22:33,220 --> 00:22:40,580
picture. Yeah. They're both similar. It was definitely the waffle crisp. Yeah. Waffle crisp looks like

239
00:22:40,580 --> 00:22:45,300
they have a crazy sentient waffle square on their box as well. I don't know if he's, uh, that could

240
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:51,780
be a fun, violent thing, put them up against each other. Post versus general mills, waffle square

241
00:22:51,780 --> 00:22:58,260
versus cinnamon toast sentient crazy square. Um, I'm, I'm in favor. That's for sure. Uh, so, so here's

242
00:22:58,260 --> 00:23:03,220
some of the spin-offs, uh, chocolate toast crunch. Never heard of that. Never seen that. I thought

243
00:23:03,220 --> 00:23:09,220
that was weird. Uh, the one you mentioned, French toast crunch in 1995. And then again, in 2015,

244
00:23:09,220 --> 00:23:14,900
uh, this one I was, I must've missed this one because I, I, I love both of these things, but

245
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:21,460
peanut butter toast crunch came out in, uh, oh four. And then again, in 13, then you had frosted

246
00:23:21,460 --> 00:23:30,340
toast crunch, which I'm assuming is like a, in 2012, that's a more like the, uh, frosted mini

247
00:23:30,340 --> 00:23:35,220
weeds or I think were even like the, what's the Tony the tiger one? Uh, frosted flakes. Frosted

248
00:23:35,220 --> 00:23:42,740
flakes. It was kind of like that sheen icing over it. Uh, we also have a sugar cookie toast crunch

249
00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:48,420
for the 2014 holiday season. They also brought it back in 2015, 2018, and last year, 2023 sugar

250
00:23:48,420 --> 00:23:55,940
cookie toast crunch. For our Latin listeners, we have Dulce de leche toast crunch that came out in

251
00:23:55,940 --> 00:24:04,580
2021. This one sounds interesting. Also in 2021, they had an apple pie toast crunch. And then my,

252
00:24:04,580 --> 00:24:09,780
one of my favorites, my only spinoff that I actually appreciate it because it just jammed

253
00:24:09,780 --> 00:24:14,180
two cereals together is lucky, lucky charm, cinnamon toast crunch mix that came out two years

254
00:24:14,180 --> 00:24:20,260
ago. Um, the other one that I really love is fruit loops and a lucky or fruit loops with marshmallows

255
00:24:20,260 --> 00:24:27,620
kind of same thing, similar thing. Also they did tres leches toast crunch, um, in 2023 last year.

256
00:24:27,620 --> 00:24:36,340
But if you add milk, does that quattro leches? Yeah. Quattro leches, quattro leches toast crunch.

257
00:24:36,340 --> 00:24:41,060
Uh, yeah. So if you're listening, uh, and you've had any of those spin-offs, like I said, give us

258
00:24:41,060 --> 00:24:44,900
a call. Tell us about them. Tell us about your favorite ones. If you've got an idea. So the other

259
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:49,940
thing I wanted to talk to you about, um, so whenever I was, uh, growing up, any of my high

260
00:24:49,940 --> 00:24:53,700
school friends or college friends will know this. I pitched this idea to just about everybody I knew

261
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:57,860
when I like, I was the kid, I was like the idea collector whenever I was a kid, I was like, I want

262
00:24:57,860 --> 00:25:03,220
to do this. I want to do this. I want to do this. Um, any of my, like, sorry to my current wife,

263
00:25:03,220 --> 00:25:09,620
any of my ex-girlfriends or ex partners have heard this business idea. Um, I mean, I have

264
00:25:09,620 --> 00:25:15,940
talked about this ad nauseum. So if you know me personally and we've had a personal relationship,

265
00:25:15,940 --> 00:25:20,900
you've probably heard me speak of my business idea that I had. I legit, you're not, I have this

266
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:26,660
written down from high school, um, sitting, sitting in papers. So I'm not like, Oh, I saw it and like,

267
00:25:26,660 --> 00:25:32,260
I've ripped it off and said, like, in my mind, I was super into, uh, like Quentin Tarantino movies

268
00:25:32,260 --> 00:25:36,740
at the time. And so the whole vibe of like pulp fiction and going to that old timey, like kind of

269
00:25:36,740 --> 00:25:43,620
diner, my whole thing was to, uh, have a place called Saturday mornings. And the entire concept

270
00:25:43,620 --> 00:25:50,100
was to have every breakfast cereal that's on the market available. Um, but also to try and hunt down

271
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:57,220
older discontinued cereals, uh, that were still viable for eating. Um, I had before, like I even

272
00:25:58,020 --> 00:26:03,460
knew about like, you know, like in my mind, I was like, we're going to have a small child's bowl,

273
00:26:03,460 --> 00:26:08,020
a medium bowl, large bowl, and then an extra large bowl. So that away, like, if you're like super like

274
00:26:08,020 --> 00:26:12,100
I'm hung over, I need all the cereal and we can get the extra large bowl. Uh, we're going to have

275
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:15,940
all the milks. So if you, you know, your lactose intolerant, that's the thing that I talked about

276
00:26:15,940 --> 00:26:19,860
this morning. Sorry, I didn't bring a dairy alternative, but we're going to have whole 2%,

277
00:26:19,860 --> 00:26:26,980
you know, oat, soy, what about raw milk? Raw straight from the TT. Um, all of the, all of

278
00:26:26,980 --> 00:26:32,260
the cereals, all of the milks, um, the coldest milk you can have, the crunchiest cereal you can have.

279
00:26:32,260 --> 00:26:39,940
But my idea was, um, kind of like to have a wall separating the storage space and the service space

280
00:26:39,940 --> 00:26:45,380
and have clear containers and just have all of your backstock, like the wall of cereal. Yeah. And

281
00:26:45,380 --> 00:26:48,900
so, you know, kind of like, if you go to like a tap room, you're like, I want a number 37. It's

282
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:53,460
like an IPA or whatever. You could be like, I want a number 37 and be like, okay, I want cinnamon

283
00:26:53,460 --> 00:26:57,060
toast crunch. Then you just pull the lever of the wall and like the cereal falls. So like

284
00:26:57,700 --> 00:27:02,580
the service would be super easy, uh, for everything. Have you ever been to a place like this? No,

285
00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:07,780
I have. Yeah. So later on in life, I've seen places like this. I've heard of places like this.

286
00:27:07,780 --> 00:27:11,060
That's why I kind of want to preface all this would be like, I have never been to any place

287
00:27:11,060 --> 00:27:14,660
like this. I'm not ripping off anyone's idea. This is an idea I had when I was a kid. But

288
00:27:14,660 --> 00:27:19,380
the second part of my idea was in the bankettes, uh, instead of having like a little

289
00:27:20,420 --> 00:27:26,900
miniature jukebox to have a miniature media player and have on demand cartoons at your each

290
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:34,980
bankette. So no matter what time of day it is, no matter, um, what day it is, you can have any size

291
00:27:34,980 --> 00:27:40,900
of cereal you want. You can have any cartoon you want, and you can just sit in your bankette and

292
00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:47,860
be in Saturday morning. So I think, uh, the cereal, uh, we talked about how it goes hand in hand with,

293
00:27:47,860 --> 00:27:53,300
uh, Saturday morning cartoons and in our core memories. So what were some of your favorite

294
00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:57,060
Saturday morning shows or routines or if, do you, do you have any?

295
00:27:57,540 --> 00:28:01,620
Yes. I mean, I remember waking up at like 7 a.m. every Saturday morning and just

296
00:28:01,620 --> 00:28:08,340
Fox kids was the one that I would turn on. Uh, I mean, my earliest Saturday morning cartoon memory,

297
00:28:08,340 --> 00:28:14,660
obviously Ninja turtles, because a product of the late eighties, early nineties. So I mean, obsessed

298
00:28:14,660 --> 00:28:20,500
with Ninja turtles. But as far as like Fox kids goes, that Marvel line of like Spider-Man and

299
00:28:21,780 --> 00:28:27,780
X-Men. And then later on in the like morning, like 11 a.m. they'd show like Iron Man and Fantastic

300
00:28:27,780 --> 00:28:33,460
Four. But those were big ones. I don't remember if these were Saturday morning, but like,

301
00:28:33,460 --> 00:28:36,740
that's the thing I wanted to talk about. Yeah. There, there were some shows that like I was

302
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:41,860
really into that were not Saturday. They may have been, or I don't know. My memory is cloudy. This

303
00:28:41,860 --> 00:28:48,260
was a long time ago. So I always, you know, you always hear that sorry, but like I think about

304
00:28:48,260 --> 00:28:53,380
that now. That's clearly not a thing now because there's no linear TV anymore for like a special

305
00:28:53,380 --> 00:28:58,900
Saturday morning cartoon to come on. But I do remember specifically, um, like later on in my

306
00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:05,300
tweens and teens, Saturday mornings kind of became like saved by the bell city guy, like, uh, that

307
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:13,140
sort of stuff, like almost like situational comedy for kids. But I did, um, I haven't remembered this

308
00:29:13,140 --> 00:29:19,860
until I started planning this episode. Does this picture or this show, do you remember this at all?

309
00:29:19,860 --> 00:29:27,700
Hold on. Sorry. I fucking love reboot. It was only like 24 episodes Canadian. It was on Cartoon

310
00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:33,780
Network. I think it was in the original Toonami block. Dude, reboot. Oh my God. I've actually

311
00:29:33,780 --> 00:29:39,540
gone back and rewatched it as an adult and it doesn't hold up as well. Like it's still fun.

312
00:29:39,540 --> 00:29:46,260
That's nostalgic. But I think Netflix did a live action reboot of reboot. I didn't even bother

313
00:29:46,260 --> 00:29:52,100
watching it because I didn't want my memory tainted. Um, yeah, I was obsessed. They actually,

314
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:56,500
I remember as a kid, I went to like a collectible store and they had action figures of reboot.

315
00:29:56,500 --> 00:30:00,180
Dude. And I lost my mind. I didn't have money for them, but I was just like, what?

316
00:30:00,180 --> 00:30:03,620
Uh, and like just lost it.

317
00:30:05,860 --> 00:30:13,060
So, um, I remember very specifically reboot coming on a Saturday morning, like replay or some sort

318
00:30:13,060 --> 00:30:19,780
of like reshow. Um, but I, um, in my mind, I was like, that show was so ahead of its time.

319
00:30:19,780 --> 00:30:27,060
Yes. Like they were like main framing and hacking and like living in an alternate reality.

320
00:30:27,060 --> 00:30:33,620
And like inside of a computer, it's like exactly like what meta is right now. Like reboot did that.

321
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:47,220
So, um, 98. So apparently it first aired in, uh, 94. Oh wow. Yeah. 94. Um, and the reason that I

322
00:30:47,220 --> 00:30:52,100
wanted to talk about this is because when I was taking a look at it, the people that created

323
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:59,940
reboot were the same people that, um, had created dire straits money for nothing video. So like they

324
00:30:59,940 --> 00:31:08,980
were, reboot was actually conceived in 1984. Whoa. So I know. So to think like I was born in 83,

325
00:31:08,980 --> 00:31:14,740
like late 83. So like the year that I was born, the year that I was one years old, somebody was

326
00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:21,860
sitting around stroking their beard going, what if we made a completely CGI animated TV show

327
00:31:21,860 --> 00:31:28,820
with children living inside a computer in 1984. That's insane. I know. So after about eight years

328
00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:34,660
of development, uh, they finally talked, uh, Columbia into producing the series. I'm sorry.

329
00:31:34,660 --> 00:31:39,540
They finally talked some people in British Columbia to producing the series. Um, they had

330
00:31:39,540 --> 00:31:43,860
already done the money for nothing video, but the technology was not advanced enough to make the show

331
00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:50,420
in the desired way. So like, this was a conceptual thing from the eighties that didn't see the light

332
00:31:50,420 --> 00:31:54,020
of day until the mid nineties, until technology actually caught up to what they wanted to do.

333
00:31:54,660 --> 00:32:00,660
Um, so when the 3d animation tests began in earnest in 1990, reboot finally achieved its

334
00:32:00,660 --> 00:32:06,740
detailed look in 1991. So it took this person or these, this collective group of people from 1984

335
00:32:06,740 --> 00:32:10,900
to 1991 to even see a demonstration of what they thought was going on in their brains.

336
00:32:12,260 --> 00:32:18,660
That's wild to think about. So yeah, it's crazy is a, there was no other company or no other

337
00:32:18,660 --> 00:32:24,020
production company at the time had taken on as much, uh, 3d, uh, animation projects. And then

338
00:32:24,020 --> 00:32:30,260
this sort of scale, uh, the software was brand new, basically was written for this type of, uh,

339
00:32:30,260 --> 00:32:36,340
animating. Um, so, uh, I just thought it was crazy that like, just, you know, as kids, we're just

340
00:32:36,340 --> 00:32:42,820
sitting here, this show sucks. Somebody's like, wait a second. I just spent 20 years of my life

341
00:32:42,820 --> 00:32:49,380
putting this thing together. And yeah, so I thought that was a cool little, uh, did you, were you a,

342
00:32:49,380 --> 00:32:56,020
a cartoon guy or were you a more like a sitcom guy or cartoon? I mean, still to this day, like

343
00:32:56,020 --> 00:33:01,140
I would rather watch like, like shows my kids are into like teen Titans go adventure time,

344
00:33:01,140 --> 00:33:07,700
regular show. Like I have more fun watching those than most sitcoms. For sure. I was, I guess I'm

345
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:13,460
the hopeless romantic. I always saw myself as like the, I'm the Zach, you know, you know, either I'm

346
00:33:13,460 --> 00:33:19,060
the city guy or whatever. I never got into saved by the bell. Like my memories of saved by the bell

347
00:33:19,060 --> 00:33:26,100
is if I woke up at like 6 AM, it was showing before the cartoon started. And so that is,

348
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:31,620
was pretty much the only time I watched that, um, the live action shows I watched were obviously

349
00:33:31,620 --> 00:33:37,780
like power Rangers and all those spinoffs, like VR troopers, uh, big bad beetle borgs. Oh yeah.

350
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:44,740
I built the guy who kind of looked like Jay Leno in that big chin. He was from DFW. Oh, word. Yeah.

351
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:49,700
My high school drama teacher, that was her claim to fame that she would always tell every like

352
00:33:49,700 --> 00:33:54,180
incoming class like, Oh yeah, you seem big, bad beetle borgs, the guy that looks like Jay Leno.

353
00:33:54,180 --> 00:34:00,580
I taught him. Um, so yeah, that somebody in my high school had a picture and it was a poster,

354
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:08,740
uh, uh, who's the band that does, Oh, a fuel. Oh, somebody had a fuel poster and they're like,

355
00:34:08,740 --> 00:34:13,460
my son drums and fuel. Whenever I was a senior in high school and I thought that was the fucking

356
00:34:13,460 --> 00:34:19,620
coolest thing ever. I was like, dude, what this teacher has a fuel poster and her, I was like,

357
00:34:19,620 --> 00:34:25,380
dude, anyway, uh, yeah. So you, you were saying the, so yeah, that was kind of live action.

358
00:34:25,380 --> 00:34:31,460
One of my favorites, which as an adult, I've learned more about, but it played on Fox kids

359
00:34:31,460 --> 00:34:37,460
on Saturdays. It was part of the like Saban power Rangers spin-off. What a great freaking spit,

360
00:34:37,460 --> 00:34:43,300
like just Saban by itself. Just to say that, like I love the VR troopers. They were cool as hell,

361
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:47,540
but this one was my absolute favorite. I mean, I think there was actually a power rangers

362
00:34:47,540 --> 00:34:53,780
crossover, but it was called the masked rider. Okay. I don't think I knew that one. Uh, he actually,

363
00:34:53,780 --> 00:34:59,780
um, for anyone who is into like Godzilla, there's like shin Godzilla that came out. The guy who did

364
00:34:59,780 --> 00:35:07,380
that did a shin common rider because it was called common rider K a M E N uh, in Japan.

365
00:35:08,180 --> 00:35:15,060
And so there's this like ultra violent stylistic masked riders. We know him in America movie that

366
00:35:15,060 --> 00:35:19,780
came out in the last few years and it's fucking awesome. It's on Amazon prime. Now that I'm seeing

367
00:35:19,780 --> 00:35:27,780
the, uh, bug like mask. That's very, very similar to a memory. You're right. It aired on Fox as

368
00:35:27,780 --> 00:35:34,100
part of the Fox kids program block from September 16th, 95 to August of, uh, 96. Yeah, it was,

369
00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:40,980
that was my favorite, like it, cause after teenage mutant trolls, those power Rangers again, product

370
00:35:40,980 --> 00:35:46,820
of my time, but that one, like I liked as much, if not more than power ranger, I thought he was so

371
00:35:46,820 --> 00:35:51,860
cool. Also might've been because of an only child. So seeing just one dude out there and sort of like

372
00:35:51,860 --> 00:35:58,100
this team. Um, and he was like, his action was cool. And I've gone back as an adult and watched

373
00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:02,980
like the original common writer stuff from like the late seventies or early eighties in Japan.

374
00:36:02,980 --> 00:36:08,820
And it's like kind of campy and fun. I, you can watch it for free on to be, um, definitely worth

375
00:36:08,820 --> 00:36:13,780
checking out if you're into that stuff. Some of the non action and non sitcom cartoons that I

376
00:36:13,780 --> 00:36:20,820
wanted to bring up, uh, Bobby's world was a big one for me. Um, how he Mandel Mandel was a genius.

377
00:36:20,820 --> 00:36:24,660
I mean, if you go back and watch some of those episodes, there is definitely some adult humor

378
00:36:24,660 --> 00:36:31,620
in all of Bobby's world. Um, dark wing duck was a huge one for me. I mean, let's get dangerous. I

379
00:36:31,620 --> 00:36:39,860
mean, I fucking wanted to be dark winged duck. I just like, I wanted a hat and a cape and like a

380
00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:46,980
dark hat and cape and like just to be a private investigator slash negaduck from that show dude.

381
00:36:46,980 --> 00:36:52,420
There was a, uh, amazing melodic hardcore band from Fort Worth called negative. What a great name.

382
00:36:52,420 --> 00:36:58,020
Yeah. I can great name. Um, also I'd be remiss if I didn't shout out some of the, um,

383
00:36:58,020 --> 00:37:02,100
Nickelodeon programming that, uh, we grew up with. Um, we grew up with some great,

384
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:07,380
like Ren and Stimpy and I was not allowed to watch Ren and Stimpy as a kid because it was too adult,

385
00:37:07,380 --> 00:37:12,420
but I was allowed to watch Rocco's modern life. Rockers modern life. Uh, rug rats was a big one.

386
00:37:12,420 --> 00:37:18,100
Also a big one for me growing up. I was in love with Doug. Oh yeah. Um, Doug was a huge one for

387
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:27,860
me. Uh, recess was huge for me. Um, yeah, man. So, so recess. So recess was ABC. Um, there was

388
00:37:27,860 --> 00:37:33,780
another show that played around that same time and it was called Bruno the kid. Did you ever watch

389
00:37:33,780 --> 00:37:40,100
Bruno the kid? Let me look it up. It was Bruce Willis's kids show where Bruno was like a spy

390
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:43,780
and it was modeled after Bruce Willis. So it was like Bruce Willis as a kid. Dude,

391
00:37:43,780 --> 00:37:48,980
you have such a good memory. I don't remember this one. Yeah. I love that show. It was, and

392
00:37:49,540 --> 00:37:55,780
Bruce Willis also put out a, uh, like jazz album in the late eighties or early nineties called

393
00:37:55,780 --> 00:38:02,420
the return of Bruno. I think I do know that, but I didn't know that Bruno the kid. I have not seen

394
00:38:02,420 --> 00:38:08,500
that. That's amazing. There was another show that was a, it was like, uh, stop animation claymation

395
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:15,380
called bump in the night. I believe that one was awesome. So good. Yeah. I love that one. Um,

396
00:38:16,340 --> 00:38:20,180
again, I don't know if this was Saturday mornings, but biker mice from Mars,

397
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:27,860
which was again, toy line, kind of a spin off of Ninja turtles as mutated three mice that came

398
00:38:27,860 --> 00:38:34,340
from Mars on motorcycles, which they're bringing that back with Ryan Reynolds. Dude, that sounds

399
00:38:34,340 --> 00:38:38,980
so cool. Yeah. There's a, I know they're working on a comic book, but I think there might be a movie

400
00:38:38,980 --> 00:38:45,220
or cartoon in the works, uh, with Ryan Reynolds involved. Can I borrow a sip of your water?

401
00:38:45,220 --> 00:38:50,500
Absolutely. Go for it. Otherwise I'm going to hiccup and burp all over this cast. Uh, and then

402
00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:58,420
another one that is funny, like, oh yeah, that's good. Looking back, uh, especially kind of shaping

403
00:38:58,420 --> 00:39:03,460
my teen years and early twenties and like the stuff that I was into. And this is kind of

404
00:39:03,460 --> 00:39:10,500
probably the seed that was planted in my mind was the toxic crusaders. Oh yeah, baby. So trauma

405
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:15,860
jumping on the Ninja turtles bandwagon for sure. And taking, you know, the toxic Avenger, their

406
00:39:15,860 --> 00:39:23,860
main like franchise, like tent pole and turning it into a kid friendly cartoon, which if you've

407
00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:30,900
seen the toxic Avenger, you know that it is low budget, campy, gory, uh, kid getting run over on

408
00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:37,460
a bike and his head blowing up everywhere. And so, I mean, it is not kid friendly in any way. So

409
00:39:37,460 --> 00:39:44,340
them turning that into a TV show with a toy line, video games, like uncle Lloyd did a great job

410
00:39:44,340 --> 00:39:49,540
there. Perfect. Uh, do you want to even rate this? I mean, this is the greatest of all time. We don't

411
00:39:49,540 --> 00:39:54,100
have to give it a rating. I think we're good here. It's untouchable. Yeah. So if you've never had

412
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:59,140
cinnamon toast crunch, you must get your life, go to the store, pick up a box, family size,

413
00:39:59,140 --> 00:40:05,140
preferably, uh, get you some milk, uh, and sit down and really do some soul searching on what you've

414
00:40:05,140 --> 00:40:09,460
been doing wrong with your life because it's the greatest cereal that's ever been invented. It was

415
00:40:09,460 --> 00:40:14,900
invented by scientists. It comes from the minds of babies. Yeah. It comes from the minds of babes.

416
00:40:15,540 --> 00:40:23,380
And you know, it's got crazy cannibalistic, uh, you know, tendencies to it. So grab yourself a

417
00:40:23,380 --> 00:40:29,300
bowl of cinnamon toast crunch and get your life right. Come back to the Lord and, and, and see

418
00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:36,500
what we're talking about. Um, Lord Wendell Lord Wendell's waiting for you with his arms wide open.

419
00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:44,100
Um, so, so, um, this, like I said, this episode is kind of like throwback to where we were kind

420
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:49,300
of starting a little bit of shooting the shit. Um, and so we've, we've talked breakfast foods,

421
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:53,940
we've talked Saturday morning cartoons, but we wanted to start a new segment here. It's called

422
00:40:53,940 --> 00:41:00,180
pulling out. I've never done that. Uh, I have four kids, so I've clearly, I'm not very good at that

423
00:41:00,180 --> 00:41:08,100
as well. So, um, in the words of Jeremy Joel, I'm not the pullout King. I am not the pullout King.

424
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:14,020
RIP, Jeremy Joel. Um, God, I miss that guy. I was just thinking about him the other day. I was

425
00:41:14,020 --> 00:41:19,940
rolling down the street and just listening to Wu Tang and he just came, came across my mind. Um,

426
00:41:19,940 --> 00:41:24,660
so pulling out, uh, the segment is going to be about, uh, fighters that have pulled out from

427
00:41:24,660 --> 00:41:30,420
fights. And, uh, the reason we're talking about this is because there's a lot of hubbub in the

428
00:41:30,420 --> 00:41:35,380
combat sports, uh, world combat sports world, as far as fights that were supposed to happen,

429
00:41:36,260 --> 00:41:41,860
and that are not happening. Um, and the first one that we kind of have been kicking back and forth,

430
00:41:41,860 --> 00:41:47,380
uh, you've heard us mention it on the podcast previously, uh, but obviously if you're even

431
00:41:47,380 --> 00:41:54,580
remotely involved in MMA or UFC at all, you know, the name Connor McGregor. Who? Uh, yeah. Uh,

432
00:41:54,580 --> 00:41:59,380
did you see roundhouse? Uh, no, I didn't see a roundhouse, but I saw a road house. God.

433
00:42:00,020 --> 00:42:03,460
But yeah, did you see roadhouse? I did see roadhouse. Not Jake Gyllenhaal,

434
00:42:04,180 --> 00:42:10,500
the crazy coked out guy. But also did you see roundhouse? What the heck is roundhouse? Uh,

435
00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:18,980
yeah. So, uh, Connor McGregor is probably the most well-known UFC fighter of all time. Um, he, uh,

436
00:42:18,980 --> 00:42:26,020
has fought Floyd Mayweather in boxing. He has done some acting. Um, he's basically just a braggadocious,

437
00:42:26,020 --> 00:42:31,300
uh, ostentatious person. Uh, he has been floating the idea of coming back to the

438
00:42:31,300 --> 00:42:36,420
USC for about two and a half years. They've had this fight on the books. Uh, uh, him and Michael

439
00:42:36,420 --> 00:42:42,500
Chandler were supposed to meet in the octagon this Saturday, this coming Saturday. Um, but he's pulled

440
00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:47,780
out. Yeah. And also you say this coming Saturday, I guess we should preface it because this is going

441
00:42:47,780 --> 00:42:54,820
to come out in July. That's true. So this past Saturday. So today is what? June 27th. Today's

442
00:42:54,820 --> 00:43:00,020
June 27th. So this will come out on the fourth. So he has pulled out of the fight that he was

443
00:43:00,020 --> 00:43:06,820
supposed to have on this past Saturday. Um, yeah. So did you happen to see why he pulled out?

444
00:43:07,540 --> 00:43:17,700
He hurt his toe. Him hurt his pinky toe. No, no, no. So, um, there's a lot of like funny,

445
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:24,900
uh, memes and like reactions from fighters and media about, you know, why he pulled out, uh,

446
00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:29,780
if he should have fought with a broken toe, uh, that whole thing. Um, and then there's that whole

447
00:43:29,780 --> 00:43:36,180
speculation on, do you think he's actually ever going to fight again? So, um, he's just a tease.

448
00:43:36,180 --> 00:43:42,660
You think so? No, I don't think so. Also, I know that that dude could wreck me. So, uh, no, I,

449
00:43:42,660 --> 00:43:49,220
he's also getting older and so there's a lot to like step back and look at, who knows, maybe his

450
00:43:49,220 --> 00:43:53,140
film career is taking off. He's getting offers left and right after that incredible performance

451
00:43:53,140 --> 00:44:01,300
in roundhouse. Uh, but no, I mean, also when you do that much cocaine and that many steroids,

452
00:44:01,300 --> 00:44:09,220
your body changes and your health changes and the way that you absorb damage changes, uh, your,

453
00:44:09,220 --> 00:44:16,020
I know your ligaments dry out, your tendons dry out. Um, so there's definitely a good chance that

454
00:44:16,020 --> 00:44:21,940
you are more susceptible to injury. Your body feels different. Um, so I'm assuming that that

455
00:44:21,940 --> 00:44:27,220
could all play a factor in it as well. And the risk reward ratio, like he's already kind of proven

456
00:44:27,220 --> 00:44:32,500
himself. He has a household name. Does he need to continue fighting or can he keep kind of like,

457
00:44:32,500 --> 00:44:36,900
Hey, I'm going to fight again. And then, Oh, nevermind. I hurt my toe. What? Oh no, I got a

458
00:44:36,900 --> 00:44:43,460
hangnail. Oh no, I've got a cough. Like, uh, and maybe he will fight again, but also maybe, uh,

459
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:48,260
he realizes like, Hey, I'm in a pretty sweet spot right now and I don't need to fight again.

460
00:44:49,620 --> 00:44:53,780
Um, I just wanted to give a message to anybody that's under the age of 30 that might be

461
00:44:53,780 --> 00:44:58,660
listening to this podcast. I'm here to tell you because I did not believe my elders. I didn't

462
00:44:58,660 --> 00:45:04,420
listen to advice. I didn't, I thought I was, I thought I was just the one, you know, I thought

463
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,340
I was just the one, you know, I thought I was fucking Neo and it wasn't going to happen to me.

464
00:45:09,140 --> 00:45:16,340
Your body will betray you. If you are under the age of 30 and you do not believe me and you're

465
00:45:16,340 --> 00:45:24,980
not listening to these words, your body will betray you. I'm 40 years old. I have been active

466
00:45:24,980 --> 00:45:30,580
most of my life. I've played every sport there is to play. Um, you know, I'm down to clown whenever

467
00:45:30,580 --> 00:45:39,140
it comes to let's get down last Sunday, I bent down to, uh, clean the windows, uh, at my job.

468
00:45:39,140 --> 00:45:44,500
And the second time I bent down, my back locked up for the entire day. Like I could not stand up

469
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:50,180
straight, like hunchback of Notre Dame, like walking through. So I didn't believe it guys.

470
00:45:50,180 --> 00:45:52,740
I was the one that said, Oh, that's not gonna happen to me. I'm going to be 50 years old,

471
00:45:52,740 --> 00:46:00,020
hooping out of control. Your back and your knees will hate you once you get past the age of about

472
00:46:00,020 --> 00:46:07,620
35. I mean, maybe even earlier. I mean, just so you know, 30 is the first time I like really wrecked

473
00:46:07,620 --> 00:46:15,700
my knees and like, I have no meniscus in my left knee now. So this whole thing about a pinky toe,

474
00:46:15,700 --> 00:46:22,340
I don't want to freaking hear it because sometimes the toes hurt the worst. I mean, my dad is six,

475
00:46:22,340 --> 00:46:28,580
two, six, one, six, two, uh, you know, two plus, and that man will be taken down. If you just barely

476
00:46:28,580 --> 00:46:33,620
like, ding, touch his toe because you know, it's like, there are just things on your body. Once you

477
00:46:33,620 --> 00:46:40,020
get a certain age that are excruciating. And so I think that we all deserve Connor at his best,

478
00:46:40,020 --> 00:46:43,620
especially if he is going to return, he could have returned at any given point in time.

479
00:46:44,420 --> 00:46:49,700
Well, probably not on, on cocaine and all of that, but he could have come back, you know,

480
00:46:49,700 --> 00:46:54,820
he could have not taken time off. He could have been just, we could have seen just the worst of

481
00:46:54,820 --> 00:47:00,340
the worst when it comes to Connor. So, um, he is being opened up to a lot of criticism. Um,

482
00:47:00,340 --> 00:47:04,420
he didn't have to share his specific injury. He didn't have to share that photo with us. I think

483
00:47:04,420 --> 00:47:07,940
he knew he was going to get a lot of crap for that, but I also think that he needed to give

484
00:47:07,940 --> 00:47:12,260
us something after two and a half years of wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And then we

485
00:47:12,260 --> 00:47:18,180
get to the week of it is like, wait some more, you know? So at this point, uh, when I see media

486
00:47:18,180 --> 00:47:23,780
members talk to Dana White about Connor McGregor, I think that Dana is just over it. You know what

487
00:47:23,780 --> 00:47:27,620
I mean? He's just like, if it's going to happen, I'll see it whenever he steps into the ring and

488
00:47:27,620 --> 00:47:33,780
it actually happens. So Connor McGregor has pulled out, uh, he was the main event for this coming

489
00:47:33,780 --> 00:47:40,980
303 event that we have coming up, uh, this past Saturday that we had this past Saturday. Um,

490
00:47:40,980 --> 00:47:47,780
so he did, he, the main event was gone and so they really needed someone to step in and save that

491
00:47:47,780 --> 00:47:52,020
event. And so we'll, we'll get into it later with the preview, but, uh, the main event, uh,

492
00:47:52,020 --> 00:48:00,420
uh, this past Saturday was Alex Pereira and Yuri Prohaska. That is a rematch from the great UFC 300

493
00:48:00,420 --> 00:48:06,420
that we covered in our second or third podcast. So the fight where you had the gentleman that

494
00:48:06,420 --> 00:48:10,980
gets kicked in the nuts and he says, Herb, no thanks. I don't need the time out. And then goes

495
00:48:10,980 --> 00:48:16,740
and knocks the guy out. We're having that rematch. So looking forward to that, looking forward to see,

496
00:48:16,740 --> 00:48:23,380
you know, I'm glad that the, the, uh, UFC event was saved. Uh, Alex Poiton Pereira is

497
00:48:23,380 --> 00:48:29,860
single-handedly saving the UFC. He is fought 12 times in the past, I think, nine months.

498
00:48:29,860 --> 00:48:30,740
That's insane.

499
00:48:30,740 --> 00:48:32,500
At three different weight classes.

500
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:33,300
Even more insane.

501
00:48:33,300 --> 00:48:40,100
Uh, and has captured two different belts at those weight classes. So, um, this Brazilian

502
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:45,780
gentlemen, uh, we'll talk about that a little bit later. So another big name pulling out another

503
00:48:45,780 --> 00:48:51,460
in the segment of pulling out, uh, we had Mike Tyson who was supposed to fight Jake Paul, uh,

504
00:48:51,460 --> 00:48:59,140
here in Dallas, Texas this month. And the fight has been postponed, um, is what we're hearing,

505
00:48:59,140 --> 00:49:03,300
but also Jake Paul has taken another fight. Uh, do you know who Mike Perry is?

506
00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:09,380
Uh, he's an MMA fighter. I'm not super familiar with him. I was just reading about it this morning

507
00:49:09,380 --> 00:49:16,420
on my way here. So I'd be able to keep up. Dude, Mike Perry is a funny, interesting character.

508
00:49:16,420 --> 00:49:21,140
He is, he was in the UFC, but it was just one of those things where it was like, you know,

509
00:49:21,140 --> 00:49:24,820
the guy that would be like a really great soldier if there were just like no rules.

510
00:49:25,700 --> 00:49:26,180
Yeah.

511
00:49:26,180 --> 00:49:31,460
Like that's Mike Perry. Like if you were able to like smoke weed and play video games all day,

512
00:49:31,460 --> 00:49:37,300
but also still be a soldier, that would be like Mike Perry. He's like, he also has a touch of the,

513
00:49:37,300 --> 00:49:46,100
like the B rad syndrome where, you know, he's like, Oh man, you know, uh, grew up rough, uh,

514
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:52,580
very rough, but can fight his ass off. And so once he got released from the UFC, he really found and

515
00:49:52,580 --> 00:49:58,740
made his name in the bare knuckle fighting competition. Uh, and he's actually fought some

516
00:49:58,740 --> 00:50:05,300
of the highest level UFC fighters and bare knuckle and it was just obliterated them. So if you're

517
00:50:05,300 --> 00:50:09,860
unfamiliar with bare knuckle fighting, it is kind of like boxing, uh, except for they don't use

518
00:50:09,860 --> 00:50:15,780
gloves. They actually just wrap their hands and go. Um, some people think it's a little bit more

519
00:50:15,780 --> 00:50:21,860
barbaric or violent. Uh, it's actually a little bit more safe. Uh, uh, it seems a little counter

520
00:50:21,860 --> 00:50:28,340
intuitive that way, but, um, your hands, you know, are a little bit safer, uh, that way. Uh, and so

521
00:50:28,340 --> 00:50:32,900
it's, it is very violent. Uh, sometimes the fights don't last very long. Sometimes they're just kind

522
00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:37,060
of boring because the guys, you know, kind of know each other's power and they just don't want to get

523
00:50:37,060 --> 00:50:44,020
in range to get hit. Mike Perry also stepped in, um, as, uh, I don't know if you're familiar with

524
00:50:44,020 --> 00:50:49,140
the last time we talked about a Paul brother, he was supposed to be fighting Dylan Dennis.

525
00:50:49,860 --> 00:50:55,460
Not familiar. Okay. So Logan Paul was fighting Dylan Dennis before we started this podcast.

526
00:50:55,460 --> 00:51:02,180
Dylan Dennis is, uh, Conor McGregor's former training partner and trainer. Uh, he's got a

527
00:51:02,180 --> 00:51:07,940
black belt and jujitsu. Um, he's one of those guys that like, they were like, oh, if he was in the UFC,

528
00:51:07,940 --> 00:51:14,260
he'd go to the top. He's always a prospect. You know, he was like the hot up and coming prospect,

529
00:51:14,260 --> 00:51:20,100
but he was a coach. Uh, he was Conor's training partner and coach, uh, right when Conor was going

530
00:51:20,100 --> 00:51:24,180
through all of that stuff. I don't know if you're familiar with Conor and Habib, Nurgum, Nurgum,

531
00:51:24,180 --> 00:51:29,220
Nurgum, Medoff, whenever they fought Habib beat him and then jumped in the crowd and, uh, fought

532
00:51:29,220 --> 00:51:35,620
part of Conor's people. Yes. That's Dylan Dennis. Okay. So Habib jumped over the, the, the, the ring

533
00:51:36,340 --> 00:51:43,060
wall to get to Dylan Dennis. Dylan Dennis is also the guy that, um, basically for the entire lead

534
00:51:43,060 --> 00:51:49,940
up to the Logan Paul fight, uh, tweeted out Nina Agdahl's pictures and, uh, basically Snapchat

535
00:51:49,940 --> 00:51:55,460
stories so much so that they threatened a lawsuit against him. And so that kind of played into that

536
00:51:55,460 --> 00:52:02,580
trash talking question that we ask a lot there, but Dylan Dennis, um, and Logan Paul were boxing

537
00:52:02,580 --> 00:52:07,700
and, uh, Mike Perry was brought in because Dylan, we didn't know if Dylan Dennis was actually in a

538
00:52:07,700 --> 00:52:12,180
fight or not because of this whole lawsuit thing. Mike Perry was brought in as the backup there.

539
00:52:12,180 --> 00:52:19,220
And so he's kind of like making his way in all of these venues, um, by himself. He's still in

540
00:52:19,220 --> 00:52:23,700
bare knuckle fighting. He doesn't really have like a manager or a promoter that's really getting him

541
00:52:23,700 --> 00:52:28,580
these fights. It's just strictly off the strength of like his personality and the fact that he's

542
00:52:28,580 --> 00:52:35,300
just like willing to like just drop it and go. So I think that that is, uh, when it, as it pertains

543
00:52:35,300 --> 00:52:43,300
to Mike Tyson, uh, Jake Paul, Mike Perry, if that fight is even remotely violent at all, or if Mike

544
00:52:43,300 --> 00:52:50,580
Perry turns it up on Jake Paul at all, uh, it could injure Jake Paul and, uh, jeopardize the fight for

545
00:52:50,580 --> 00:52:56,180
him and Mike Tyson. Um, I don't put it past Mike Perry to be able to do that sort of thing. He's

546
00:52:56,180 --> 00:53:01,940
surprised me in so many different facets and fashions. So, uh, we, the question that we're

547
00:53:01,940 --> 00:53:06,740
kind of asking between Connor McGregor and Mike Tyson is do you ever expect to see them in the

548
00:53:06,740 --> 00:53:12,820
the ring or fighting again with Connor? I'm going to say yes, only because he showed his injury and

549
00:53:12,820 --> 00:53:19,060
he's still willing to like play the game. I think that if he was done, he would have got the injury

550
00:53:19,060 --> 00:53:23,060
and just been like, you know what, my body's not going to allow me to do this. I think the injury

551
00:53:23,060 --> 00:53:27,860
was like light enough to where he could probably still ride this wave of promotion for another two

552
00:53:27,860 --> 00:53:32,980
or three months, maybe. Um, Mike Tyson, I don't think it's going to happen. Really? I don't think

553
00:53:32,980 --> 00:53:39,060
it's going to happen, man. I don't think that the ulcer thing is really the ulcer thing. I think that

554
00:53:39,060 --> 00:53:43,620
he's getting older. I think that he's dealing with some of the things that we're talking about where

555
00:53:43,620 --> 00:53:47,220
you're like, yeah, you want to, you want to go to the gym and you want to train and you want to

556
00:53:47,220 --> 00:53:54,020
aspire, but your body is saying no. And so listening to your body is a big thing whenever it comes to

557
00:53:54,020 --> 00:53:59,140
performance. I mean, if you're not listening to your body, if you're not giving your body enough

558
00:53:59,140 --> 00:54:06,420
adequate rest, recovery, uh, nutrition, um, your body will tell you and it will tell you in ways

559
00:54:06,420 --> 00:54:12,020
of sickness. It'll lower your immune system and allow you to, to catch things that you probably

560
00:54:12,020 --> 00:54:18,260
wouldn't have caught otherwise. It will slow you down and get you to rest if you're not resting.

561
00:54:19,700 --> 00:54:23,940
I think that's an interesting way to talk about this next fighter, Hamzat Shemayev.

562
00:54:24,900 --> 00:54:29,380
Bors, I don't know if you're familiar with Mr. Hamzat Shemayev. Okay. I'm going to show you a

563
00:54:29,380 --> 00:54:38,260
picture of Hamzat. Maybe that'll kind of jog your memory, but Hamzat Shemayev is this gentleman here.

564
00:54:38,260 --> 00:54:43,700
He is, uh, he is a fighter that burst onto the scene in the UFC about three years ago,

565
00:54:43,700 --> 00:54:48,260
because he came in, destroyed his opponent and immediately was like, put me on the next card.

566
00:54:49,060 --> 00:54:57,060
He fought, I think three times in a matter of six weeks. Like, I mean, like one week, again,

567
00:54:57,060 --> 00:55:02,020
three different weight classes. The dude was willing to like basically fight anywhere, anyone,

568
00:55:02,020 --> 00:55:08,260
anytime. And everybody was like, okay, put him in there. He throw him, throw him to the belt, you

569
00:55:08,260 --> 00:55:11,620
know, right away. Let's see what he can do. And Dana's like, no, we're going to bring them along

570
00:55:11,620 --> 00:55:15,620
slowly. We're going to bring them along slowly. So now that he's finally at his proper weight

571
00:55:15,620 --> 00:55:20,580
class and we're finally getting him to these premiere fights, what's happening is that every

572
00:55:20,580 --> 00:55:30,100
single time he gets into a very intense training camp, his body is turning on him. And so, uh, he

573
00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:37,940
he has pulled out of UFC 303. Uh, he was supposed to fight, uh, UFC 303. Uh, but his body is

574
00:55:37,940 --> 00:55:43,380
responding negatively to training. Um, uh, I heard an interview with Alexander Gustafson,

575
00:55:43,380 --> 00:55:48,340
his training partner, and he visited him in the hospital. And you could just tell, by the way,

576
00:55:48,340 --> 00:55:53,940
that Alex is talking about the situation, that they're very concerned for Hamsa because no one

577
00:55:53,940 --> 00:56:03,060
can tell him why his body is going into this flu like or, uh, food poisoning like state, like as

578
00:56:03,060 --> 00:56:09,460
soon as he's getting like his hardest training momentum stride, his body like breaks down hives,

579
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:15,460
like vomiting, dehydration, all that sort of thing. So much so that there's pictures of Hamsa in the

580
00:56:15,460 --> 00:56:22,340
hospital, not injured from like, I got a broken nose. I broke my arm. I twisted my ankle. His body

581
00:56:22,340 --> 00:56:28,260
is literally just telling him once he gets to this certain point, we don't like this. And so

582
00:56:29,220 --> 00:56:32,820
I don't know what that's all about. This is the first time I've ever seen that kind of, uh,

583
00:56:33,700 --> 00:56:38,660
promote like advertised or talked about in the media as far as like a premier athlete,

584
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:44,980
not being able to compete because their body is not allowing them to get the proper training that

585
00:56:44,980 --> 00:56:52,420
they need. And so, um, some speculation out there is maybe he's using some PEDs that is kind of like

586
00:56:53,060 --> 00:56:58,020
as he's tapering off and kind of hitting a stride into a training camp that maybe his body is like

587
00:56:58,020 --> 00:57:02,660
going through some withdrawal symptoms from that. Um, I don't want to throw any accusation. I

588
00:57:02,660 --> 00:57:10,340
clearly don't know anything about Hamsa and his, his training. So, uh, yeah. So thoughts go out to

589
00:57:10,340 --> 00:57:16,020
Hamsa Shamaya. If he's one of my favorite fighters, uh, bores, uh, I hope he gets to be able to figure

590
00:57:16,020 --> 00:57:21,300
that out because in reality, uh, that dude should be just at the top of the food chain when it comes

591
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:27,860
to his weight class. So the body is a weird thing. Like the way that your body reacts to stress,

592
00:57:27,860 --> 00:57:33,940
like whether it's mentally, physically, um, so yeah, that's, that's a big bummer. I hope that he

593
00:57:33,940 --> 00:57:40,900
recovers and I'm sorry, I misspoke. He was not at 303. He was at this past fight night with Robert

594
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:47,060
Whitaker, uh, and he was supposed to be headlining that with Robert Whitaker. Um, Robert Whitaker won,

595
00:57:47,060 --> 00:57:55,700
uh, that fight, uh, within like 90 seconds of the first round, he TKO'd his, his, his guy and Shamaya

596
00:57:55,700 --> 00:58:02,900
have immediately tweeted out, see you soon. So he, the desire definitely is there. Um, I just think

597
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:08,580
that maybe he needs to maybe go see a holistic doctor and see if he could do some elimination

598
00:58:08,580 --> 00:58:13,540
diet or. Yeah. Elimination diet. Maybe get, you know, a float in a cold plunge on that

599
00:58:13,540 --> 00:58:16,980
for a float company. That's right. Shout out Kevin. Maybe you can get Homs out over and get his mind

600
00:58:16,980 --> 00:58:21,620
right so that a way he can continue training. So the next pulling out segment might be a little bit

601
00:58:21,620 --> 00:58:27,860
complicated, especially if you're unfamiliar with some of these names, uh, this past Saturday at UFC

602
00:58:27,860 --> 00:58:35,540
303, the original fight that was booked was supposed to be between Jamal Hill and Khalil

603
00:58:35,540 --> 00:58:43,300
Roundtree Jamal Hill. You may recognize from this podcast because Alex Poiton Pareta is the one that

604
00:58:43,300 --> 00:58:49,460
knocked him out. Uh, after taking the growing strike, we talked about that at UFC 300. He protested,

605
00:58:49,460 --> 00:58:53,540
said he, it was an early stop at, he'd never got knocked out. He's ready to fight tomorrow. X, Y,

606
00:58:53,540 --> 00:58:59,700
and Z. Well, him and Khalil Roundtree were supposed to tie it up at UFC 303, but, uh, Jamal Hill,

607
00:59:00,340 --> 00:59:06,500
uh, I'm sorry, Khalil Roundtree tested negatively for again, the most awesome thing in the world.

608
00:59:06,500 --> 00:59:14,260
PEDs. So I have a lot to say about that. I mean, just a quick aside about these, I want to see

609
00:59:14,260 --> 00:59:19,620
people at their very best. I, you know, I don't want people being reckless with their bodies and

610
00:59:19,620 --> 00:59:26,740
their health. I want doctors involved, but I mean, baseball was way more interesting when everybody

611
00:59:26,740 --> 00:59:32,580
was juiced up. Let's see how far they can hit those balls. Same with fighting. Like I want to see people

612
00:59:32,580 --> 00:59:39,380
at their absolute best. I mean, I love bodybuilding and I love seeing these fucking monster

613
00:59:39,380 --> 00:59:45,620
humans because they're not tested. We all know they are juiced out of their minds, but a lot of them

614
00:59:45,620 --> 00:59:49,780
are dying early. I don't want to see athletes dying early. I want there to be doctors involved,

615
00:59:49,780 --> 00:59:56,500
but I want to see you at your peak performance. Tour de France. Come on. Like let's see how fast

616
00:59:56,500 --> 01:00:04,580
you can do that. Russian athletes. Yeah. Chinese athletes. Like I am all for PEDs. I want to see

617
01:00:04,580 --> 01:00:11,140
peak performance, but I want it to be done healthy with doctors. I agree. I think that's a big thing

618
01:00:11,140 --> 01:00:16,340
that speaks to kind of like the war on drugs. I think that you're right on the money. I think that

619
01:00:16,340 --> 01:00:23,140
there is a level of athlete that you get to that just about everybody indulges in PEDs and you

620
01:00:23,140 --> 01:00:30,660
either make the decision to compete or not. And like you said, it's done in the dark. It's, I guess,

621
01:00:30,660 --> 01:00:35,860
to prevent children from looking up to these athletes and thinking that that is what's necessary.

622
01:00:35,860 --> 01:00:41,300
But I think that we're also doing a great disservice by that 17 year old that just got

623
01:00:41,300 --> 01:00:45,780
drafted and has to face the fact that there's all these 20 something year olds that are already

624
01:00:45,780 --> 01:00:51,300
doing that. You know what I mean? There's that, but then also just, and I know this is becoming a

625
01:00:51,300 --> 01:00:56,820
bigger aside, but if you look at social media influencers, especially fitness influencers,

626
01:00:56,820 --> 01:01:02,740
the rock. Yeah. I mean, they're all, and not even that popular, like people with, you know,

627
01:01:02,740 --> 01:01:08,740
50,000 followers on Instagram that they're a fitness influencer. They're definitely on something.

628
01:01:08,740 --> 01:01:16,100
Sure. I mean, it may not be large amounts, but you have young impressionable teens who are seeing

629
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:19,300
this and then they're going to the gym and they're meeting that guy in the locker room and they're

630
01:01:19,300 --> 01:01:24,580
getting the gym bro science for sure. And they're fucking up their endocrine system before their

631
01:01:24,580 --> 01:01:31,220
body is fully developed. Absolutely. I am all for talking about this very publicly. Yeah. We need

632
01:01:31,220 --> 01:01:35,220
to get out in the open so that way we can have like, like you said, doctors involved testing.

633
01:01:36,260 --> 01:01:40,660
And also it's one of those things where it's like, it's ridiculous to sit there and say that this

634
01:01:40,660 --> 01:01:44,660
isn't happening whenever we know that it's happening. Like fighters are pulling out left and right

635
01:01:44,660 --> 01:01:51,380
because I mean, Ryan Garcia, he's been suspended for an entire year because his tests came back

636
01:01:51,380 --> 01:01:57,620
dirty. His record has been changed to reflect that he actually lost that fight instead of

637
01:01:57,620 --> 01:02:04,980
winning that fight. Devin Haney is now undefeated again, even though we saw Ryan Garcia beat up

638
01:02:04,980 --> 01:02:10,500
Devin Haney. So PEDs are like, we need to talk about it. We need to bring it out into the open.

639
01:02:10,500 --> 01:02:15,700
We need to have this discussion. So that away, all of, cause I mean, like, let's think about it.

640
01:02:16,660 --> 01:02:21,780
Just because Devin didn't get busted doesn't mean that he was also using PEDs during that fight.

641
01:02:21,780 --> 01:02:24,820
He might have a clean pisser hiding somewhere. Like,

642
01:02:24,820 --> 01:02:28,180
because he was smarter, better about it. Doesn't make that, you know what I mean? So,

643
01:02:28,820 --> 01:02:34,900
yeah, I agree with you there. Good aside. So Khalil Roundtree out, Jamal Hill then drew Carlos

644
01:02:34,900 --> 01:02:41,060
Olberg into that fight. Carlos Olberg is a very sexy man from City Kickboxing. He's friends with

645
01:02:41,060 --> 01:02:50,500
Israel Adesanya Downunda. So Carlos Olberg then got the sad and unfortunate news that Jamal Hill,

646
01:02:50,500 --> 01:02:55,940
who had no injuries from getting knocked out at the UFC 300, he was ready to fight. All of a sudden

647
01:02:56,340 --> 01:03:01,380
has meniscus problems and a tear and this and that, and he's going to be out.

648
01:03:01,380 --> 01:03:02,580
See, over 30?

649
01:03:02,580 --> 01:03:03,540
Yeah, of course.

650
01:03:03,540 --> 01:03:04,180
That's why.

651
01:03:05,860 --> 01:03:10,660
So then Carlos Olberg was left without an opponent, even though he was the one to step in.

652
01:03:11,860 --> 01:03:17,700
So to keep that fight alive, they brought in Anthony Lionheart Smith. I love Anthony Smith,

653
01:03:17,700 --> 01:03:21,380
because every time he fights, I have to tell my wife, this is the fighter that someone tried to

654
01:03:21,380 --> 01:03:26,820
break into his house. So a couple of years ago, Anthony Smith was making the rounds on the podcast

655
01:03:26,820 --> 01:03:31,220
talking about how in the middle of the night, somebody dumb ass, somebody tried to break into

656
01:03:31,220 --> 01:03:37,460
his house. And I'm like, of all the houses, you go to a guy that is like a lethal MMA fighter.

657
01:03:38,820 --> 01:03:46,180
So Anthony Smith then got the bad news that Carlos Olberg got hurt. So then this guy who stepped in

658
01:03:46,180 --> 01:03:53,700
for the step in, for the step in, was left without an opponent. And so thankfully Roman Dolizze has

659
01:03:53,700 --> 01:04:00,420
now stepped in to fight. So this past Saturday, Anthony Smith and Roman Dolizze squared off in a

660
01:04:00,420 --> 01:04:04,260
step in, step in, step in, pull out mania. It was like-

661
01:04:04,260 --> 01:04:05,220
Step up to.

662
01:04:05,220 --> 01:04:11,540
Step up to the streets to pull out of this fight. And so when we talk about pulling out,

663
01:04:11,540 --> 01:04:18,740
we talk about opportunities that people get. And so UFC 303 Macy Barber was injured and pulled out

664
01:04:18,740 --> 01:04:25,220
of the fight. And that is giving Tracy Cortez the opportunity to step up into place. And so one of

665
01:04:25,220 --> 01:04:30,660
the things that's really cool about UFC, MMA, and in boxing and combat sports and in general,

666
01:04:31,380 --> 01:04:38,260
if you are available, that is your greatest tool and asset into moving up the ranks,

667
01:04:38,260 --> 01:04:43,780
moving up the ranks because these fights fall apart. And if you are close to weight,

668
01:04:44,340 --> 01:04:51,860
or if you're training, or if you're answering your phone, you could move several spots in the

669
01:04:51,860 --> 01:04:53,300
matter of just one fight.

670
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:54,900
Timing is everything.

671
01:04:54,900 --> 01:05:00,740
Yeah. So the greatest ability is availability when it comes to the UFC and boxing and that sort of

672
01:05:00,740 --> 01:05:05,540
thing. We touched on this quickly. Ryan Garcia is now saying that he is retired from boxing.

673
01:05:06,100 --> 01:05:07,300
What a bummer.

674
01:05:07,300 --> 01:05:13,860
Saying that this whole drama has gotten to him. He doesn't want to deal with it anymore. And he

675
01:05:13,860 --> 01:05:16,020
is floating the idea of coming to MMA.

676
01:05:16,820 --> 01:05:17,620
That could be fun.

677
01:05:18,180 --> 01:05:27,460
So he wants to fight Shawn, Sugar Shawn O'Malley in a MMA fight, which is the worst possible idea

678
01:05:27,460 --> 01:05:33,860
for Ryan Garcia. But I think that that would be interesting to see. So Conor McGregor,

679
01:05:33,860 --> 01:05:38,420
I think he will fight again. Mike Tyson, I don't think that he will fight again. Ryan Garcia.

680
01:05:38,420 --> 01:05:40,180
We'll find out on November 18th.

681
01:05:40,180 --> 01:05:47,380
Ryan Garcia, I think this is a very young man that is kind of just out of his mind and doing

682
01:05:47,380 --> 01:05:49,460
whatever he wants to do. And we'll see if he's retired or not.

683
01:05:49,460 --> 01:05:53,060
UFC might be the right place. Maybe he needs to go to bare knuckle fighting.

684
01:05:53,060 --> 01:05:55,300
I bet he should do that. I bet he'd do well there.

685
01:05:55,300 --> 01:05:55,780
Yeah.

686
01:05:55,780 --> 01:06:00,180
Lastly, when it comes to pulling out, we had somebody pull out for the last time and that

687
01:06:00,180 --> 01:06:07,940
would be Tyler Willie. He is, you may know him from the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

688
01:06:08,580 --> 01:06:12,180
He was the guy that bigger gentlemen, Sumer wrestler.

689
01:06:13,700 --> 01:06:20,820
Are those happy tissues or sad tissues? That guy. Well, that guy was also in a television

690
01:06:20,820 --> 01:06:25,700
program called Hawaii Five-0, but he also was in the very first UFC event ever.

691
01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:34,020
Oh, yes. He was a Sumer wrestler and fought in UFC one, which was nationally televised. So

692
01:06:34,740 --> 01:06:41,460
he passed away this week. We wanted to just shout him out just because if you're an old UFC fan,

693
01:06:41,460 --> 01:06:47,300
if you have gone back on Fight Pass and just wanted to see the very first UFC event ever,

694
01:06:48,020 --> 01:06:52,260
they showed on TV all the time. The original thing was like, let's get a Sumer wrestler and

695
01:06:52,260 --> 01:06:55,860
put them up against a boxer or let's get a karate player and put them up against this.

696
01:06:55,860 --> 01:06:58,580
It was like watching Street Fighter in real life.

697
01:06:58,580 --> 01:07:03,620
Exactly. Yeah. So, Taylor, Tyler Willie or Wiley, I'm not sure you pronounce your name.

698
01:07:03,620 --> 01:07:07,300
Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for the laughs and forgetting Sarah Marshall.

699
01:07:07,300 --> 01:07:13,140
Thank you for your participation in UFC one, pulling out for the last time. Signing off,

700
01:07:13,140 --> 01:07:18,500
Taylor Willie. Appreciate you. So that is our pulling out segment. We're going to kind of

701
01:07:18,500 --> 01:07:25,620
bring that back as more people continue to pull out. We know it's going to happen, whether it's

702
01:07:25,620 --> 01:07:36,180
to injury or to Ryan Garcia being crazy or to just PEDs. We'll bring that back each week and

703
01:07:36,180 --> 01:07:41,780
make it a little bit shorter and talk about who pulled out this week. What did we miss? What are

704
01:07:41,780 --> 01:07:48,020
we missing out on? So UFC 303 just happened on Saturday. What you have seen is Alex Poetan

705
01:07:48,020 --> 01:07:57,620
Pereira defending against Yuri Prochaska. You've got Brian T. City Lopez fighting Diego Lopez,

706
01:07:57,620 --> 01:08:04,740
which is kind of cool. I'm sorry. I didn't realize that because there's a comedian I follow named

707
01:08:04,740 --> 01:08:11,780
Diego Lopez, who's also an MMA instructor. That's right. And I was like, wait a second.

708
01:08:11,780 --> 01:08:19,700
There's two Diego Lopez. One is Lopez with an S, which is in the UFC. And one is Lopez with a Z,

709
01:08:19,700 --> 01:08:25,300
which is the comedian slash MMA instructor. And I said Brian's last name is actually Ortega,

710
01:08:25,300 --> 01:08:32,580
not Lopez versus Lopez, Brian T. City Ortega. The other fight I wanted to mention, we've got

711
01:08:33,380 --> 01:08:38,740
Ian Gary Machado versus Michael Venom Page. Do those names mean anything to you, sir?

712
01:08:38,740 --> 01:08:47,220
Machado definitely does. Okay. Ian Gary Machado is an up and coming fighter. He's,

713
01:08:47,220 --> 01:08:54,180
he billed himself as kind of like the next Connor, kind of a good looking young guy that talks

714
01:08:54,180 --> 01:09:02,980
really slick. You may know him from past fights where he's kind of, he's kind of got a weird way

715
01:09:02,980 --> 01:09:09,380
of trash talking. He has previously taken his opponents mug shots and put them on t-shirts and

716
01:09:09,380 --> 01:09:14,660
shown them up to press conferences. The thing that's getting kind of thrown back in his face

717
01:09:14,660 --> 01:09:22,580
though is his wife is a little bit older. She's Brazilian and he took her last name. So Ian Gary

718
01:09:22,580 --> 01:09:29,380
Machado is very progressive and he also lives in Brazil half of the year and fancies himself as a

719
01:09:29,380 --> 01:09:33,940
part-time Brazilian. And so you've got a little bit of, you know, the fighters kind of giving

720
01:09:33,940 --> 01:09:39,780
him grief for that, but his wife wrote a book called The Wags a few years ago that you can still

721
01:09:39,780 --> 01:09:46,660
find on Amazon before she was married to Ian Gary. It was wife and girlfriends. Apparently this is a

722
01:09:46,660 --> 01:09:55,140
big thing over in the UK where you're trying to land yourself a footballer. And so this whole like

723
01:09:55,140 --> 01:10:01,300
ebook that she wrote a few years ago about how to land a high profile athlete and then she lands a

724
01:10:01,300 --> 01:10:10,180
high profile athlete. And makes him take her last name. Not only that, her ex-husband is a yoga

725
01:10:10,180 --> 01:10:20,420
instructor and lives with them. Hey, it's like I said, 2024. They're very progressive. So yeah,

726
01:10:20,420 --> 01:10:25,620
there's a lot of fun, like interesting asides and anecdotes that have nothing to do with like

727
01:10:25,620 --> 01:10:33,780
fighting with Ian Gary Machado. Michael Venom Page, he goes by MVP. He actually came over from

728
01:10:33,780 --> 01:10:39,460
another promotion. He was a belt holder in another promotion and has completely obliterated everybody

729
01:10:39,460 --> 01:10:48,180
he's touched in the UFC. And so this matchup is explosive. It's exciting. Ian Gary, the entire

730
01:10:48,180 --> 01:10:56,020
lead up to the fight is acting as if he is not bothered, doesn't really know who is Michael

731
01:10:56,020 --> 01:11:01,860
Venom Page, is not playing into the whole like hype of the fight. He is really, really toning

732
01:11:01,860 --> 01:11:09,700
down his image. If it was up to Ian Gary, you would never know that the fight was happening.

733
01:11:10,740 --> 01:11:15,620
And so you've got MVP kind of stunned because they both come from this like Conor McGregor,

734
01:11:15,620 --> 01:11:20,260
braggadocious thing. And it's like a one sided, like he's throwing jabs over Ian Gary Machado,

735
01:11:20,260 --> 01:11:25,300
and he's just not getting anything back. So I'm wondering how that head game is playing with one

736
01:11:25,300 --> 01:11:32,020
another as far as like, are they going to like actually like do the, you know how it is like you

737
01:11:32,020 --> 01:11:36,180
get that pre fight aggression, like fuck you, don't fuck you, we're gonna fight, we're gonna fight. But

738
01:11:36,180 --> 01:11:39,780
like, you've got one guy that's, no, one guy that's just like, yeah, hope it's gonna be a good fight.

739
01:11:39,780 --> 01:11:45,300
The other guy's like, fuck you, man. That's wild. I'm looking it up right now. Yeah. Now very

740
01:11:45,300 --> 01:11:52,980
interested. Yeah. So it's very cool. This UFC 303, the card almost didn't happen. Like we said,

741
01:11:52,980 --> 01:11:57,940
we've got Alex Pereira taking on Yuri Prochaska. The one thing that I did want to mention to that,

742
01:11:57,940 --> 01:12:03,460
that has been brought up to my attention, that is kind of interesting and like not so much

743
01:12:04,740 --> 01:12:14,420
UFC related, but it is the fact that Alex Pereira comes from a tribe in Brazil that still engages

744
01:12:14,420 --> 01:12:25,060
and uses shamans. And so he, for some of his press conferences has come out in full makeup

745
01:12:25,060 --> 01:12:30,660
and headdress from the tribe that he's from in Brazil. He takes that very seriously. And

746
01:12:31,620 --> 01:12:39,780
obviously there's something there to his like tribes people, his like connection to that whole

747
01:12:39,780 --> 01:12:46,900
thing. And I think that's something that we don't talk about enough is, not you and I, but in

748
01:12:46,900 --> 01:12:55,940
general, as far as the UFC is concerned is spirituality and how your mind is really

749
01:12:57,300 --> 01:13:05,380
molded and melded and kind of really just, it is affected by kind of like that spirituality vein.

750
01:13:05,380 --> 01:13:12,820
And so Yuri, his opponent fancies himself as a samurai. And even though he's from,

751
01:13:13,940 --> 01:13:21,380
I think he's from Chechnya, he fancies himself a samurai and he is very intuitive. And this

752
01:13:21,380 --> 01:13:29,060
past week he has started to ask Alex Pereira if he would not involve the shaman in this fight

753
01:13:29,060 --> 01:13:36,900
and meet him naturally on the plane, man to man, because he doesn't really believe that Alex is

754
01:13:38,020 --> 01:13:45,460
winning by himself. He feels like the spirits or the shaman or his ancestors or whatever he's

755
01:13:45,460 --> 01:13:53,060
calling upon is magically helping him win. The words magic, shaman, all of these things,

756
01:13:53,060 --> 01:13:58,020
I'm not paraphrasing. Those are words that actually have come out of Yuri Prahaska's mouth.

757
01:13:58,020 --> 01:14:03,140
And so days leading up to the event, you think like, again, we're looking for like aggression,

758
01:14:03,140 --> 01:14:08,580
we're looking for trash talk, we're looking for like a buildup to sell the fight. And we've got

759
01:14:08,580 --> 01:14:14,260
Yuri going, please, please don't, please don't pray to your gods and let's try to see if we can

760
01:14:14,260 --> 01:14:20,740
have a one-on-one fight as opposed to. So whatever Alex is doing as far as like his spirituality

761
01:14:20,740 --> 01:14:26,900
practice involving the shamans, involving his meditation or involving his mental health,

762
01:14:26,900 --> 01:14:32,820
his mental health and wellbeing clearly is affecting the way that other people see him.

763
01:14:33,860 --> 01:14:38,980
So I think again, with PEDs, something that we may need to talk about is,

764
01:14:40,260 --> 01:14:45,540
are these cats practicing some black magic that we like, that we don't know about? You know what I

765
01:14:45,540 --> 01:14:52,500
mean? I definitely think that there is something to that. I do too. I mean, also like if you look at

766
01:14:52,500 --> 01:14:59,380
the Uwe Tai traditions, that is very tied to spirituality, religion and like identity.

767
01:15:00,420 --> 01:15:01,540
So I definitely think.

768
01:15:01,540 --> 01:15:05,540
Rocky had to go get blessed by the father before he went and got far. I mean, he just said,

769
01:15:05,540 --> 01:15:08,820
throw me a quick one. I got to fight. Bless you son. You know what I mean?

770
01:15:09,460 --> 01:15:16,020
It is definitely whether you believe that it is the spiritual side or if it is just something

771
01:15:16,020 --> 01:15:22,340
in your mental game that is being unlocked, which who's to say we don't understand a lot of stuff.

772
01:15:22,340 --> 01:15:27,780
So I am not going to discount any of the spiritual side of it. I definitely think it is real and I

773
01:15:27,780 --> 01:15:31,620
definitely think that it can give you an edge if you are all in on it.

774
01:15:31,620 --> 01:15:36,420
**Jay】 I think that we practice magic a lot and we don't even freaking know it. We are just like,

775
01:15:36,420 --> 01:15:41,140
as far as like this whole manifestation movement and as far as visualization and that sort of

776
01:15:41,140 --> 01:15:48,340
thing, all of that is hermeticism. And so I think that it is really cool that we are hearing somebody

777
01:15:48,340 --> 01:15:53,620
publicly ask another fighter like, hey, leave the magic at home, please. Can we fight just a regular

778
01:15:53,620 --> 01:16:03,380
fight? So in response, Alex said, I've got Alex's response. He said, it is not my fault that you

779
01:16:03,380 --> 01:16:07,620
haven't figured out your spiritual path yet. **Matt Stauffer** Damn. Well, I mean, if he is a samurai,

780
01:16:07,620 --> 01:16:11,940
he might be Shinto. And that is a whole different ballpark.

781
01:16:11,940 --> 01:16:14,580
**Jay】 I just thought that that was amazing that he was just like, he was like,

782
01:16:14,580 --> 01:16:19,540
he's like, I'm not going to, I'm not going to let go of my spirituality just because you haven't

783
01:16:19,540 --> 01:16:25,060
figured out your spirituality yet. You know what I mean? Also, Alex Paretta is sympathizing with

784
01:16:25,060 --> 01:16:30,420
Conor McGregor on his broken toe because he just fought with that exact same injury.

785
01:16:30,420 --> 01:16:34,820
**Matt Stauffer** But he still fought. **Jay** Yeah, that's the point. He's like,

786
01:16:34,820 --> 01:16:39,300
yeah, I can see how a broken toe hurts. I literally just fought with a broken toe. So

787
01:16:39,300 --> 01:16:46,500
I'm really excited to see what happens in that fight. I'm also looking forward to essentially

788
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:52,660
a preview of, so here's the quote. Alex Paretta says, everybody has their own spirit. We're not

789
01:16:52,660 --> 01:16:58,740
only made of flesh and bone. I have found mine. If he did not find his, or if he does not believe,

790
01:16:58,740 --> 01:17:03,300
it's not my fault. **Matt Stauffer** Yeah. And you know, we're a good place to go and find

791
01:17:03,300 --> 01:17:08,820
your spirit, your spiritual advisor and to visualize. **Jay Finkielman** Fort Worth Float Company.

792
01:17:08,820 --> 01:17:11,940
**Matt Stauffer** Spent a lot of time in those float tanks and I've seen some shit.

793
01:17:11,940 --> 01:17:14,580
**Jay Finkielman** Yeah, man. **Matt Stauffer** That's why I'm not discounting any of this.

794
01:17:14,580 --> 01:17:20,100
**Jay Finkielman** Get inside of your head, figure out where you come from, figure out what your

795
01:17:20,100 --> 01:17:27,460
ancestors are. Not you because you're white. I'm just kidding. No, but like tap into that. See if,

796
01:17:27,460 --> 01:17:33,620
and not just because you're a fighter, but because you're a person and you're probably

797
01:17:33,620 --> 01:17:38,660
fighting something out there in life that is difficult. I know we all are going through some

798
01:17:38,660 --> 01:17:44,980
trials and tribulations. I, this past week have been fighting myself a lot and been in my head.

799
01:17:44,980 --> 01:17:49,140
And I know a lot of people out there are, just hung out with Jordan last night just to kind of

800
01:17:49,140 --> 01:17:57,140
blow some steam off because it's hard out there to be human. So, I'm just kidding. I'm just

801
01:17:57,140 --> 01:18:03,300
kidding. Take care of yourself. Take some time to slow down. Don't be like Homsot. Don't train

802
01:18:03,300 --> 01:18:10,100
yourself till you're making yourself sick because that part of the game, no matter what game you're

803
01:18:10,100 --> 01:18:18,260
playing, whether it's the UFC or the game of life, I mean, that spiritual mental part is a huge part

804
01:18:18,260 --> 01:18:23,540
because I mean, I know that there are times where like I don't practice what I preach and I feel

805
01:18:23,540 --> 01:18:30,420
like a huge freaking phony. So, that mental thing and that spiritual thing is one of those things

806
01:18:30,420 --> 01:18:37,860
where like, obviously if someone's doing it right, it's noticeable. And so, and you want some of that

807
01:18:37,860 --> 01:18:42,980
in your life. And the easiest way to do that, like you said, is to disconnect from your phone,

808
01:18:43,620 --> 01:18:48,580
disconnect from the things that are in front of you that are distracting you from what's truly

809
01:18:48,580 --> 01:18:55,620
and really important in your life. Take a simple moral inventory. Like if I could take only this

810
01:18:55,620 --> 01:18:59,700
stuff with me tomorrow, it's going to be my family. It's going to be my pets. It's going to be the

811
01:18:59,700 --> 01:19:06,100
things that are really truly important to me. So, yeah, man, this coming up fight is cool. There's

812
01:19:06,100 --> 01:19:09,780
a lot of, like I said, it's kind of a bummer that we've had a lot of pullouts and some of the things

813
01:19:09,780 --> 01:19:15,220
that we could have seen. It would have been nice to see Robert Whitaker versus Homsot Shemayev.

814
01:19:15,220 --> 01:19:20,500
It would have been nice to see Connor versus Michael Chandler. But I think that we're getting

815
01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:26,580
some good fights in its place. And I think that also some of these things, like we said, whether

816
01:19:26,580 --> 01:19:33,460
it's PDDs or spirituality or training too hard or whatever the case may be, like a lot of the times

817
01:19:33,460 --> 01:19:39,140
in the past, you know, I would say maybe even five years ago before Twitter, before blogs and that

818
01:19:39,140 --> 01:19:45,220
sort of thing, you would just not know why a fighter was out or the fight just wouldn't happen.

819
01:19:45,220 --> 01:19:49,540
They wouldn't rush to get like a replacement. They would just rebook it at another date or whatever.

820
01:19:50,180 --> 01:19:57,060
So the UFC I think is doing it right. We have a couple of minutes left in this podcast. And

821
01:19:57,060 --> 01:20:00,100
I think we're gonna skip this segment for now and just go to this other segment.

822
01:20:01,860 --> 01:20:08,420
This podcast will be dropping on the 4th of July. Freedom day. Yeah.

823
01:20:08,420 --> 01:20:15,540
So if you're listening to us today, happy 4th of July. We kind of wanted to take a different take

824
01:20:15,540 --> 01:20:23,940
on it and just talk about some of the violence that goes hand in hand with being an American.

825
01:20:24,980 --> 01:20:31,860
I know that movies sometimes portray us, especially as Texans, as like, everybody's got a gun and

826
01:20:31,860 --> 01:20:35,140
everybody's, you know, that sort of thing. I actually had a conversation with a family

827
01:20:35,140 --> 01:20:39,540
from New Jersey yesterday. I was at work and they're like, yeah, we're down here. Like our

828
01:20:39,540 --> 01:20:45,860
flight got delayed. So that's why we're here where I work. And they're like, yeah, we thought Texas

829
01:20:45,860 --> 01:20:50,580
was just, everybody had a gun, that there were rattlesnakes everywhere, that it was just like a

830
01:20:50,580 --> 01:20:55,380
violent place. But wow, Texas, like, this is awesome. We could like it better than New Jersey. Like,

831
01:20:55,940 --> 01:21:02,820
you can drink beer on the street and you can like, basically they're saying they felt like

832
01:21:02,820 --> 01:21:08,020
they had more freedoms, but they didn't feel unsafe. And they were shocked by the lack of

833
01:21:08,020 --> 01:21:14,260
everyone like waving guns around and that there weren't rattlesnakes and cows and horses everywhere,

834
01:21:14,260 --> 01:21:19,620
which is funny because again, growing up in the Midwest, when I moved to Texas 20 plus years ago,

835
01:21:19,620 --> 01:21:24,580
everyone's like, oh, you're going to ride a horse and shoot guns and there's going to be snakes.

836
01:21:24,580 --> 01:21:29,460
So the fact that in 2024 people from the Northeast still think that Texas is like

837
01:21:29,460 --> 01:21:36,260
the wild West is kind of crazy to me. Yeah. I'm right there with you. As far as that is concerned,

838
01:21:36,260 --> 01:21:40,820
it's, you see that a lot of TikTok tropes, you know, like where's your gun, you know, that sort

839
01:21:40,820 --> 01:21:50,660
of thing. But as far as like growing up in America, I think that we were exposed to violence

840
01:21:50,660 --> 01:21:58,020
through media a lot. And I think that that informed a lot of like our identity. And so

841
01:21:58,020 --> 01:22:03,220
it's just one of those things where if you take a look at the history of our country, a lot of,

842
01:22:03,860 --> 01:22:09,860
a lot of what we have and a lot of what we are was built on the back of violence from, you know,

843
01:22:10,420 --> 01:22:16,340
from the American Indian, Native American. Yeah. I mean, it's just, you know, we, we, you know,

844
01:22:16,340 --> 01:22:23,540
from that all the way up until, you know, we have Tuskegee experiments, we have, you know,

845
01:22:23,540 --> 01:22:29,140
just these things that we have done to the American people, you know, and, and by the American

846
01:22:29,140 --> 01:22:36,660
people, not just to us, but also to other countries. And, and it is, I would say it is a

847
01:22:36,660 --> 01:22:44,420
synonym. Violence is a synonym with, with America, I would say. As far as America goes, violence and

848
01:22:44,420 --> 01:22:50,660
wars are business. Business is always booming because we're always creating wars and trying to

849
01:22:50,660 --> 01:22:55,140
push the American agenda on the rest of the world. It's true. I'm right there with you as far as that

850
01:22:55,140 --> 01:22:59,940
is concerned. I mean, I, you know, I wish I could speak differently as far as that is concerned,

851
01:22:59,940 --> 01:23:08,180
but from the time that I was born to up until now, it really feels like you've got a lot of people

852
01:23:08,740 --> 01:23:14,900
that really are invested in the, the military industrial complex, the growth of all of that.

853
01:23:14,900 --> 01:23:21,780
And yeah, you look, you look at, you know, any, you, you, you pull up any, you can go to any

854
01:23:21,780 --> 01:23:26,820
grocery store, go to any regular store and you pick up a product and you go look at the stockholders

855
01:23:26,820 --> 01:23:34,020
of that product. And I'm pretty sure BlackRock owns a majority of that company. And also being

856
01:23:34,020 --> 01:23:40,180
here in Fort Worth, Texas, we have Lockheed Martin. And also if you're driving toward down,

857
01:23:40,180 --> 01:23:46,740
if you're driving west towards 30 or west down 30, you're going to pass a Bay systems building

858
01:23:47,700 --> 01:23:57,140
before you hit Lockheed Martin. Yeah, it is. We, in order to continue running this awful machine,

859
01:23:57,140 --> 01:24:07,620
it has to be, you know, paid for and run with blood of others. Sure. So, yeah, we are, we are

860
01:24:07,620 --> 01:24:15,940
patriots in the sense of the word that we're realists. We're, we, we kind of like to see things

861
01:24:15,940 --> 01:24:22,260
for what they are. And so we just wanted to touch on that and kind of remind you, I know along with

862
01:24:22,260 --> 01:24:26,660
a lot of the hot dogs and the fireworks and all of the fun stuff that might go on with 4th of July,

863
01:24:27,460 --> 01:24:32,420
just take a moment to realize that a lot of that was built on blood, blood of innocent people,

864
01:24:32,420 --> 01:24:35,940
blood on people from other countries, blood on immigrants, blood on the police,

865
01:24:35,940 --> 01:24:40,660
blood on people from other countries, blood on immigrants. And it's still to this day, I mean,

866
01:24:41,540 --> 01:24:47,540
without getting too far into it, I mean, everything going on in Israel and Gaza,

867
01:24:47,540 --> 01:24:54,500
everything going on in Russia and Ukraine, the proxy wars that are currently happening

868
01:24:55,060 --> 01:25:02,820
outside those two areas, the next few years are going to be wild. And I really don't think that

869
01:25:02,820 --> 01:25:08,180
any politician has any of our best interests in mind because I could go on and on about this

870
01:25:08,180 --> 01:25:17,140
forever. I'm going to try and, you know, if you're pro-Israel, go fuck yourself. And Israel is buying

871
01:25:17,140 --> 01:25:24,100
our politicians left and right and they're owning our country. If you do not see what is going on

872
01:25:24,100 --> 01:25:28,260
in Gaza and you do not call it a genocide, pull your head out of your fucking ass.

873
01:25:28,260 --> 01:25:34,260
RG Real Talk. Yeah, just so you all know where we stand, if you've been with us up into this point

874
01:25:34,260 --> 01:25:40,420
and, you know, we, Kiki and Kaka and Haha about this, that and the third, but Real Talk, 4th of July,

875
01:25:40,420 --> 01:25:44,100
we want to keep it real with you as far as it's concerned. We're not happy with the way that things

876
01:25:44,100 --> 01:25:51,060
go in our country. We are not here to sit by and just let it happen without our voices being heard.

877
01:25:51,780 --> 01:25:55,620
If you're our friends, you're our family, you know where we stand. But if you've never heard us before,

878
01:25:55,620 --> 01:26:02,580
you should take heed to our word, realize that there are things that are happening in this country,

879
01:26:02,580 --> 01:26:10,340
around this country that are violent and that are just unnecessary when it comes down to it.

880
01:26:10,340 --> 01:26:16,260
We are really motivated by money. We're really motivated by greed. We're really motivated by

881
01:26:17,220 --> 01:26:22,500
lining the pockets of others that are not us in particular, because I think that when it comes

882
01:26:22,500 --> 01:26:27,220
down to it, like you said, our politicians are bought and paid for, but the fervor is really out

883
01:26:27,220 --> 01:26:33,220
of just nationalism, is out of division, is out of insecurity. That's the only way that they're

884
01:26:33,220 --> 01:26:37,380
going to whip you up into a fervor to get behind them. That's the only way that they're going to

885
01:26:37,380 --> 01:26:42,500
whip you up into a fervor to support them with your money. The only way that politicians get

886
01:26:42,500 --> 01:26:46,260
into office is because there are people that are voting for them. There are people that are giving

887
01:26:46,260 --> 01:26:50,580
them their money to contribute to campaign. So if you're one of those people that blindly gives

888
01:26:50,580 --> 01:26:56,820
money or blindly goes and votes or does that sort of thing, that is something that you need to take

889
01:26:56,820 --> 01:27:02,340
a long hard look at yourself for because where's your money going? We try as best we can as a family

890
01:27:02,340 --> 01:27:07,380
to spend our money in the proper way. Even down to the simple things like my pedal board,

891
01:27:07,380 --> 01:27:14,020
you'll never see a JHS pedal on my pedal board. I'm for female owned companies. I'm for immigrant

892
01:27:14,020 --> 01:27:19,860
owned companies. I'm for anything that's the opposite of what I've lived the first time.

893
01:27:19,860 --> 01:27:26,420
The first 40 years of my life. I want to know better. I want to do better. I want to... Yes,

894
01:27:27,220 --> 01:27:34,820
this podcast is a celebration of violence in the form of combat sports, but we do not celebrate

895
01:27:34,820 --> 01:27:40,660
the violence that's been perpetrated by the United States of America. We are thankful and appreciative

896
01:27:40,660 --> 01:27:44,820
of where we live, but we just wanted to kind of get that out there and let you know kind of where

897
01:27:44,820 --> 01:27:53,060
we stand on this independence day. Yeah, absolutely. I actually had a conversation,

898
01:27:53,060 --> 01:27:56,900
when I say conversation, it was a message back and forth on Instagram with a friend

899
01:27:57,540 --> 01:28:03,220
who was talking about, basically disagreeing with me about politicians. I've made some posts

900
01:28:03,220 --> 01:28:08,100
about like, hey, politicians don't care about us. They only care about money, where the money's

901
01:28:08,100 --> 01:28:15,220
coming from. This was specifically about Bernie Sanders and the AOC. I still stand behind that,

902
01:28:16,340 --> 01:28:23,460
even all of these progressive people who are pushing what they want you to think is a socialist

903
01:28:23,460 --> 01:28:28,100
agenda is not a socialist agenda. There's still big money behind it. There's still big corporations

904
01:28:28,100 --> 01:28:34,420
behind it and they do not have your best interests in mind. I know everybody was a Bernie bro in 2016.

905
01:28:34,420 --> 01:28:42,100
I mean, the dude has never once called what's happening over in Gaza a genocide. AOC has

906
01:28:42,100 --> 01:28:46,020
refused to call it a genocide. They are liberals. They are part of the problem.

907
01:28:48,340 --> 01:28:56,900
Also, part of the politician's goal is to divide us. Right side, left side, Republican, Democrat,

908
01:28:56,900 --> 01:29:01,460
liberal, libertarian, whatever. Green party.

909
01:29:01,460 --> 01:29:05,700
It is all just trying to divide us so that we can't see the real enemy, which is

910
01:29:06,260 --> 01:29:10,900
the government, the politicians. For sure. Yeah. We need to lead with love. We need to lead with

911
01:29:10,900 --> 01:29:16,340
understanding. We need to start there because I think that, like you said, a lot of this division

912
01:29:16,340 --> 01:29:20,740
is crazy because if you spent any time with any person, you're going to find out that you're more

913
01:29:20,740 --> 01:29:24,980
alike than you are different. Some of these differences that you have, yes, they are

914
01:29:24,980 --> 01:29:32,100
heartstring things like abortion is one of the big ones. There's a lot of single issue voters

915
01:29:32,100 --> 01:29:37,700
in America and it's one of those things where like, yeah, that's maybe a problem for some people or

916
01:29:37,700 --> 01:29:42,260
that may be an issue to you morally or that, but there's like a million other things that we could

917
01:29:42,260 --> 01:29:47,140
really be arguing and talking about. We need to get women healthcare. We need abortion to be

918
01:29:47,140 --> 01:29:50,340
healthcare, first of all. We need to get women healthcare and we need to let them make their

919
01:29:50,340 --> 01:29:53,860
own decisions with their own bodies and get the fuck out of that situation so that way we can

920
01:29:53,860 --> 01:29:59,460
focus on the fact that we're printing money ridiculously for no good reason. There's no

921
01:29:59,460 --> 01:30:06,980
backing behind it. It's invisible. We owe millions, billions, trillions to China. If they ever came

922
01:30:06,980 --> 01:30:14,660
calling, we'd be their bitch. Our military is atrophying. We have the draft now being enlisted

923
01:30:14,660 --> 01:30:19,460
again. If you're 18 to 22, make sure you sign up for that selective service because-

924
01:30:19,460 --> 01:30:26,900
Well, no, not even that. That is actually, because I had somebody get into it with me about that the

925
01:30:26,900 --> 01:30:31,860
other day, it is actually the thing that they just passed. It is that you no longer have to

926
01:30:31,860 --> 01:30:37,620
go sign up for it because we had 18, I was like, hey, when you get your driver's license, you have

927
01:30:37,620 --> 01:30:42,500
to go sign up. Now between the ages of 18 and 24, you're automatically signing up for it.

928
01:30:42,500 --> 01:30:45,140
Call your number up whenever you're ready to go.

929
01:30:45,140 --> 01:30:47,860
But I think the misconception about that because there's so much information-

930
01:30:47,860 --> 01:30:49,380
We're having a draft currently. Yeah.

931
01:30:49,380 --> 01:30:53,540
On TikTok and social media and all that, which is where everyone seems to get their news from

932
01:30:53,540 --> 01:31:00,100
without doing any research is there's not a draft enacted. It's just that you're automatically put

933
01:31:00,100 --> 01:31:02,580
into the draft. They're saving us a step.

934
01:31:02,580 --> 01:31:07,300
Yeah. Which means a lot of people jump to the inclusion of, hey, there's going to be a draft

935
01:31:07,300 --> 01:31:14,660
soon, which wouldn't be surprised. I sure fucking hope not. I've got a son who will be 18 before

936
01:31:14,660 --> 01:31:22,820
too long, but mostly I'm just hoping that just fucking stop going out for blood and oil America.

937
01:31:23,780 --> 01:31:28,420
That's a great way to end the podcast, I believe. Happy 4th of July.

938
01:31:29,220 --> 01:31:33,060
We're ending on a real positive note here. It's hard to get political.

939
01:31:33,060 --> 01:31:39,140
Yeah. It's been kind of, like I said, we'll call this the bummer episode. We've got a lot of fights

940
01:31:39,140 --> 01:31:44,260
that didn't happen, some pulling out. That's always a bummer. And also just thinking on

941
01:31:44,260 --> 01:31:49,780
the atrocities of the United States of America. We started real positive with the serial memories

942
01:31:49,780 --> 01:31:54,020
and ended here in the fucked up dystopia of America.

943
01:31:54,020 --> 01:32:00,660
Such is life. Yeah. So quickly, if you have Instagram, TikTok, all that good stuff,

944
01:32:00,660 --> 01:32:05,380
we're also on there. You can find us Breakfast of Champions pod. It's usually Breakfast of

945
01:32:05,380 --> 01:32:10,660
Champs pod or something like that. We're also on the iTunes and the Spotify and all that good stuff.

946
01:32:10,660 --> 01:32:17,540
So if you've got a podcast app that you use, just type in Breakfast of Champions, you'll find us on

947
01:32:17,540 --> 01:32:24,260
there as well. If you want to give us a call, give us a review, 682-294-0101. If you want to email us,

948
01:32:24,260 --> 01:32:30,020
it's breakfastofchampspod at gmail.com. Like we said, we appreciate all of the love that we've

949
01:32:30,020 --> 01:32:36,740
been getting from the past episodes. Our first episode and James Gray episode, those are our

950
01:32:36,740 --> 01:32:42,420
two most listened to episodes. So if that tells you anything about how things are going, I think that

951
01:32:42,420 --> 01:32:46,820
they're going really well. I think people are resonating with our guests. Can't wait to see how

952
01:32:46,820 --> 01:32:53,300
the numbers do for Kevin. I really love that episode, fun episode. I just wanted, before we go to

953
01:32:53,300 --> 01:32:59,780
quickly say, I'm very sad because I have not had a single message from Munchomaniac. Oh. Haven't

954
01:32:59,780 --> 01:33:07,380
heard from Baja Blaster. I'm working on Baja Blaster. He's a little shy. Listening back, we

955
01:33:09,140 --> 01:33:15,220
just barely touched on Gene and never got back to that. Gene's in lockup, so he doesn't get that

956
01:33:15,220 --> 01:33:21,460
many calls. That's true. That's true. So if you are out there, Munchomaniac, Baja Blaster or Gene,

957
01:33:21,460 --> 01:33:29,700
hit us up. We'd love to feature you on a podcast in the future. Drop us a like, a message, a text,

958
01:33:29,700 --> 01:33:36,180
anything. We'll throw you on our social medias or our podcasts. Also, we've got some fun guests in

959
01:33:36,180 --> 01:33:43,060
the works. So I'm very excited once all the details get worked out. I can't wait. I'm so excited. I'm

960
01:33:43,060 --> 01:33:48,260
just, man, yeah. It's going to be a good time. I'm super excited. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for

961
01:33:48,260 --> 01:33:53,220
joining us. This has been Breakfast of Champions. Parker, I'm going to give you the last minute to

962
01:33:53,220 --> 01:33:59,780
take it away with anything you got. I ended on such a bummer. You bunned yourself out? Yeah. We

963
01:33:59,780 --> 01:34:04,500
started this pretty early, so it is only 9 a.m. right now. So I'm going to go home and eat some

964
01:34:04,500 --> 01:34:10,180
cereal and watch some cartoons for the rest of my morning. That's wonderful. Just a quick aside,

965
01:34:10,180 --> 01:34:15,460
if you are looking for another podcast to listen to after this one, we've got a brother that is

966
01:34:15,460 --> 01:34:23,620
doing his thing over at Remind Rewind with Jordan Klein. His last podcast he went into, Can't Hardly

967
01:34:23,620 --> 01:34:32,180
Wait. I love that episode. Such a great episode. Such a fun podcast. Jordan's way better at it than

968
01:34:32,180 --> 01:34:36,740
I am. Whenever he did his teaser trailer and sent it over, he's like, is this good? I'm like, yeah,

969
01:34:36,740 --> 01:34:40,420
you sound really like your energy's good. He's like, well, I did go to broadcast journalism school.

970
01:34:40,420 --> 01:34:45,700
And I'm like, that makes sense. We're both here, just raw dog. Yeah, we're raw dog in life. And

971
01:34:45,700 --> 01:34:53,780
he's over there just like, yes, broadcast. I edit my own podcast. I'm also a physical media junkie.

972
01:34:53,780 --> 01:34:59,300
At one point, I had almost a thousand VHS tapes and did VHS screenings. So I love hearing Jordan's

973
01:34:59,300 --> 01:35:06,180
take on stuff and his diving back into collecting VHS and stuff. It's very cool. Very cool. So check

974
01:35:06,180 --> 01:35:11,460
Remind Rewind out anywhere you get podcasts. That's our homie, Jordan. I was on one of the episodes,

975
01:35:11,460 --> 01:35:15,540
so you can hear my episode if you just can't get enough of my voice. You also get to hear Jordan on

976
01:35:15,540 --> 01:35:24,340
our podcast before and after. He is the voice that you're hearing yelling in the music before

977
01:35:24,340 --> 01:35:28,740
and after our podcast. That's correct. The voice you hear before our voices is Jordan's voice.

978
01:35:28,740 --> 01:35:33,940
That's right. Well, it's actually Shooter McGavin. And then Jordan. And then us. And then Jordan again.

979
01:35:33,940 --> 01:35:39,300
Yeah. So that's fun. I hope you guys have a great week. We will catch you next week with

980
01:35:39,300 --> 01:36:04,660
another exciting episode. You can still say something. All right.
