1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
You're in big trouble though, pal. I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:33,000
No.

4
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Good morning. Welcome to Breakfast of Champions, Season 1, Episode 10.

5
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:59,000
We are coming to you live once again from Fort Worth Float Company, our home away from home with our third co-host, Kevin O'Malley.

6
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Third co-host, Kevin O'Malley.

7
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Checking in. So we also have our other co-host, Parker Howard here.

8
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
I'm just here to fuck shit up.

9
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Thank you for joining us. If you are listening to this episode, that means you are listening to us on a week from when we record this, which is funny because we just dropped an episode this morning about three hours ago.

10
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Thank you for having us back, Kevin. We had a great time last time.

11
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:40,000
And we just were kind of short on time last time. As soon as I like ended the podcast, I was like, no, I don't have time to look at your thing. I have to go. And I was gone.

12
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:50,000
And so we had a lot of good feedback and also wanted to come back and try your wares and be less in a rush for time. So thanks for having us back. And we appreciate you.

13
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Yeah, of course. Good to have you guys here.

14
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
So when you say using his wares, you get to use one of his wares for the first time today.

15
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Yeah, I certainly did. I've never done a cold plunge. And all three of us just dipped right in and made it happen today.

16
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:18,000
So if you're interested in what that's like, we're going to get into that here in a little bit. I've got that down here under their cold plunge review. We're going to talk about what our feelings were.

17
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I read the notes right after I said that.

18
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:30,000
No, it's all good. It's all good. So we're kind of keeping it light this morning. I brought some donuts for us to try. We haven't had donuts in a couple of episodes.

19
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
And we haven't had donuts with Kevin.

20
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I know we keep on bringing nasty taco meat to Kevin.

21
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Yeah, that's true.

22
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
But these are tomato donuts filled with mayonnaise, right?

23
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Yeah, exactly.

24
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
All right. See you guys later.

25
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
And then I had ketchup packets to square on top of them.

26
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
What are other foods you don't like, Kevin?

27
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Tomatoes definitely the biggest and worst one. I also don't like mayonnaise. I like good mustard, but not like the shitty yellow mustard.

28
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Okay.

29
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
That's about it.

30
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Okay. Those are the only...

31
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
No, no. Okay.

32
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
What about you, Parker? What are the... you just don't eat them?

33
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Because I've got a couple in mind now that we're talking about foods we don't like slash eat.

34
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
I mean, like we talked about on that one episode, sometimes if I cook something, I can't eat it.

35
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
But I'm very much like, I'll try anything once kind of good.

36
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
And I can't think of anything that I've ever had that I was like, no, never again.

37
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Yeah.

38
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000
For me, it's texture. I will not do squash or zucchini, especially cooked.

39
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
When I was younger, there's this Mexican soup called caldo.

40
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
And it always has some squash and zucchini that's cooked in there.

41
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Usually it's pretty good soup. It's got chicken and vegetables and that sort of thing.

42
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
But for some reason I cannot. The slimy, squishy squash zucchini is not my favorite.

43
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,000
I get that way sometimes with okra. Like I like okra, but sometimes if it's too slimy, I have a hard time.

44
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,000
If it's in gumbo, no big deal. Like it adds that texture to the gumbo. But yeah, I get that.

45
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
And also squash sometimes, like it squeaks on your teeth when you bite into it. I don't like that.

46
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Yeah. Those are the only two things really I don't care for.

47
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Anything else I'll pretty much try or eat. I've had monkey brains in Pakistan.

48
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Was it like in Temple of Doom?

49
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000
It's exactly. No, it's funny actually. We went to this place called Barbecue Tonight in Karachi.

50
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
And it was not like that at all. It was not like the Faces of Death where you have to like crack open the skull.

51
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
No, you don't have to do any of that. But it was on the brain. I mean, it was on the menu for like novelty sake.

52
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
And of course our guides were like, you're going to try the monkey brain, right?

53
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And I'm like, sure, I'll have a bite. So it didn't kill me.

54
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:48,000
I mean, again, it's one of those things. It's like if I went to Pakistan and I had the opportunity and I turned it down, I would regret it later.

55
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Yeah. Like it's like so many things. It's just like this is a once in a lifetime thing.

56
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
I'm going to go ahead and do it because I would rather try it and hate it than regret it later.

57
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
So I've said this on another podcast. I agree with you 100 percent. Live in the moment. Yellow.

58
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:17,000
But at that same place, Barbecue Tonight in Karachi, Pakistan, it's spelled B B Q T O N I T E like tonight.

59
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:25,000
A couple of years after I came back from tour, I got this job over in Carrollton and I was just like driving around trying to find something to eat for lunch.

60
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:33,000
And I saw on this little strip mall the same font, same spelling. Barbecue Tonight went in owned by the same family.

61
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Holy there's only two barbecue tonight in the entire world and one's in Carrollton, Texas, and the other one's in Karachi, Pakistan.

62
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Do they have monkey brains? No, no monkey. We're going to Carrollton. I'm not going to work today.

63
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:55,000
We're eating monkey brains. So conversely, besides like foods that we hate, I brought in particularly one donut for us to try.

64
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000
There's six of them so we can have two each and have a diabetic coma if we'd like.

65
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:11,000
But these are if you're diabetes, yeah, diabetes. If you're ever in need of the sweetest donut in the world, you can go to Krispy Kreme and then you can try these.

66
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Wait, wait, wait. I just saw something because I know it's been a while since I've eaten a Krispy Kreme.

67
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Yeah, go for it. How do you feel about microwave Krispy Kremes?

68
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,000
It says on the box to microwave it for eight seconds. Would you do that? Only if it was the original glazed.

69
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:33,000
OK, I would not do it with like the ones we're about to eat microwave up to eight seconds. They are pro microwave. Got it.

70
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Well, I mean, so when the lights on, if you're ever driving by a Krispy Kreme and you see the light that says hot fresh now, you can go in and they'll give you a free one right off the conveyor belt right into your mouth.

71
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:55,000
That is that is my first Krispy Kreme memory is someone hand feeding me over the glass with a glove on.

72
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Kevin, do you remember the first time you ever had Krispy Kreme? No, I really don't.

73
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:16,000
I just remember them not being a thing in like the late 90s to early 2000s. And then once they hit this area, my dad, my dad and me would drive by and the line would just be like into traffic.

74
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
And my dad was like, I'm not waiting in line for donuts, you know.

75
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
But then you try them and you realize that they were really good when they first came out.

76
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,000
And that's just the concept of having a hot fresh glazed donut being served to you right fresh. And you're just like, yeah, I'll take 12 of those because they're light.

77
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000
And yeah, so this particular donut is the chocolate ice cream filled donut.

78
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Kevin, if you'd like to donate one to your to your offspring, you may. Yeah, my boy Calvin here here donuts and he wanted to come on in.

79
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Calvin, you get the first one, buddy.

80
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Calvin, remind us how old are you?

81
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
I'm turning nine. Turning nine.

82
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
So it's just a few days, right? Yeah. Yeah.

83
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
All right. So, Calvin, for your ninth birthday, you get to choose one of our.

84
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:08,000
This is my favorite donut. It's a chocolate ice cream filled donut. It's really sweet, but it's my favorite.

85
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Krispy Kreme, if you've never had them, let's take a let's take a I did pull this up yesterday while we were.

86
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,000
I'll take a pull this up and talk a little bit about the Krispy Kreme if you want to dive in and try one.

87
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,000
The first time again, like I'd never had Krispy Kreme before, probably like 2002 or 2003.

88
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,000
And I went to the one it was in like grapevine. I was like on the border of grapevine, South Lake Colleyville.

89
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
And that was a furtose like right when I first moved to the area. Yeah.

90
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
I yeah, I was super stoked on it.

91
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Walked in, got a free donut. I was like, all right, you got my business. You gave me something free and hot and you fed it to me.

92
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
All right, let's go. They looked longingly into my eyes while I took a bite of it.

93
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Like it was magical. I agree.

94
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:00,000
So another thing that I think that Krispy Kreme has done very well is their logo and branding.

95
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Their colors are very red and green being like opposite colors.

96
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
You know, they go really well together. It's almost like Christmas.

97
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000
But, you know, it's one of those things where it tricks your brain into thinking this is a donut color.

98
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:22,000
It's very diner esque as far as like their font is concerned and the way that they've done their restaurants,

99
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:30,000
particularly when they first opened and almost felt like walking into an old diner with like the chrome and just the way that they have their hats on.

100
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
They all wore white and they had like the paper hats.

101
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
That was another thing that Krispy Kreme that was really cool.

102
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
You'd get you a hot donut and they'd give you a little hat that went along with it.

103
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
So Krispy Kreme was founded by Vernon Rudolph.

104
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:56,000
He bought a yeast raised recipe from a New Orleans chef and then he rented a building in 1937 and what is now historic old Salem Winston Salem, North Carolina.

105
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Then after he rented that building, he started selling to local grocery stores.

106
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000
And then they became a public company in 2000.

107
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,000
So you can actually buy stock in Krispy Kreme there on the NASDAQ.

108
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Their call sign is D and UT. So if you need to. Yeah.

109
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Obviously, this is, you know, there's probably some lore there with Vernon Rudolph and where he got his recipe and that whole thing.

110
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000
A fun fact about Krispy Kreme is, like you said, he went into grocery stores with them.

111
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Yeah, because of that, they invented the donut box with like the window.

112
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000
I'll know maybe not invented, but that is why they started making donut boxes.

113
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,000
He used something that you could see through so that you could sell at retail because it's easier to sell a donut if you can see it.

114
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
OK, and that's why most donut shops, they don't have the window.

115
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
You don't see the donut. But if you go to the grocery store, you got a windowed box.

116
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:06,000
I love that. Good call. So it says here, 18 year old Vernon, along with his brother, Louis, began working for his uncle Ishmael and a small general store in Paducah, Kentucky.

117
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:14,000
And it had very popular donuts. It says the origin of the donut recipe still remains partially a mystery.

118
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:24,000
But it's believed that Ishmael Armstrong, inspired by an Ohio river barge cook named Joseph Labouf, who had famous light and fluffy donuts, inspired the recipe.

119
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:35,000
So, yeah, like I said, this time in my life was very like I remember being in the DFW because my dad was at seminary and I was in high school.

120
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:46,000
And so there was a lot of like church gatherings. And it was one of those things where like if somebody about Krispy Kreme, you know, they waited in line, you know, that, you know, they they really cared about you.

121
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000
It says here, one of my favorite companies was acquired by Krispy Kreme in 2018. And that is the bakery chain Insomnia Cookies.

122
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Oh, I don't know if you guys know Insomnia, but they make warm cookies that and they also stay open until like two or three in the morning.

123
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:12,000
And they deliver as well. And some of the some of my favorite cookies come from Insomnia. So that's pretty cool.

124
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Yeah. So what do you guys think about this particular variety of donut? I'm going to have one while you're talking.

125
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,000
That was the first time I had one of these and that was an excellent donut. Yeah, I agree. That was a solid donut.

126
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:31,000
I think the gene get out early. Oh, no, no, no. They're chasing gene. They're chasing gene. I hope not. He's on his way here.

127
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:39,000
It's like Michael Myers when he gets out. Solid donut, you say? Yeah, very good. And usually I don't like cream filled, but this one I would get again.

128
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Yeah, the the cream on this, it's it's like a really light cream. It's not going to be like your heavy, like more pudding based or custard cream.

129
00:12:49,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Really, really solid donut flavored good. The sweetness is good. Like, yeah, for a return to donuts, this was a solid pick.

130
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Yeah, it tastes like a remember.

131
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Kevin, any anything you would change about this donut? No, I think it's just great. Yeah, I think that I like that.

132
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,000
I think that when you first bite into it, the chocolate is darker tasting than it looks. Yeah.

133
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And then, like you said, the cream, it's sort of a mix between like a powdered sugar icing and like maybe like a cream cheese icing almost.

134
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Yeah, it's like a kind of halfsies. But it's really good, though. Yeah, that's my favorite donut at Krispy Kreme.

135
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,000
I probably could eat that whole six dozen by myself if I was by myself. But I'm not.

136
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,000
So you have to share with us. I know. I thought this was pretty cool.

137
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Krispy Kreme has a sponsorship for a NASCAR vehicle or they did at one point. I thought that was pretty cool.

138
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Check that thing out. Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah, brother. Brother. That's a Ford Mustang right there, brother.

139
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Hell, yeah. Number 60. That's how many Krispy Kremes I could put back in one sitting.

140
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:16,000
60 Krispy Kremes. So, yeah, if you're in the Fort Worth Float Company area, there's a Krispy Kreme right around the corner.

141
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Grab your chocolate ice cream filled donut and then you can come right over here and get some.

142
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Get some cold plunge on, get some sauna on. So. Get your float on. It'll help balance out all the sugar.

143
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:39,000
For real. Yeah. On a scale of one to six hot donuts, what is your rating for this donut this morning, Mr. Kevin O'Malley?

144
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I'll give it a five and a half. Five and a half. Just so there's a little room for something.

145
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Almost perfect. Yeah. I'm going to go five and a half too. That was a good fucking. Five and a half. Yeah.

146
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Five and a half. I'm going to go back on that. Yeah. Yeah. I'm right there with you.

147
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:02,000
I'm going to give it a five just because I'll balance it out on the low end because, again, I always like pick my favorite things and then I'm biased.

148
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,000
I feel bad. I'm like, this is a perfect fucking donut. So I'll give it a five, five point five.

149
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,000
It averages out five point five there. Five point three three three three three three three.

150
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Five. Yeah. Let's see what Calvin O'Malley thinks of it. Oh, yeah. Calvin tiebreaker. Calvin, come here.

151
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,000
He's got his buds in. He's partying over there.

152
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Fun fact, the chairs that he's sitting in there like the massage chairs, I got to help Kevin move those out of a home in Mansfield or at least one of them.

153
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Maybe not both. I don't remember, but we had to bring it from the second story of a nice home in Mansfield, Texas.

154
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,000
That's one of the least cool things that you could do in life is move anything is surprisingly heavy.

155
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,000
As I remember, there was like a three year old watching the Deadpool movie.

156
00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:00,000
There was a lot of weird stuff. It was on the golf course. There was definitely a small child watching Deadpool.

157
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:06,000
There was like a that's a recurring theme in this podcast is young people watching movies they shouldn't be.

158
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Yeah. And so Calvin, on a scale of one to six, one being the worst, six being the best, the donut you just ate.

159
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Could you give it a rating for us, please? Five. Five.

160
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,000
So you heard it. There's no lying. There's no bias from the babes of from the what is it from the mouths of babes.

161
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:33,000
That's right. You know that he's telling the truth. Kids don't lie ever. Perfect angels.

162
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
So you're about to be nine. The lying is coming. Yeah. Just kidding.

163
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Also, young forever. While Calvin's over here, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention his one has one piece shirt.

164
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Very cool. Yeah. Yeah. What's your who's your favorite character? Calvin.

165
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Luffy. Luffy. I haven't watched enough one piece. I'm daunt. It's a daunting task to undertake.

166
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Yeah. There's just so much. The show that you sent me fighting. Oh, yeah. Whatever. It's like 97 episodes.

167
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,000
And that's pretty short for an anime. I know. I've never seen it, but his grandfather in Japan, he's seen every episode.

168
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Oh, really? Die hard. Nice. Yeah. My son is trying to watch all of it right now.

169
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:23,000
I think he's like he's told me where he's at in it and I don't know enough to know, but I think he's around the halfway point.

170
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:35,000
It's got like a thousand something episode. It's crazy. I love I love when you get into the middle of it and you get that tunnel vision and you're just like, whoa, I went through like a hundred episodes.

171
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Yeah, I've done that with like Dragon Ball Z. Yeah, I've done that with.

172
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:52,000
What's the other one? Gundam Wing. Now, I've done it with all the Gundam shows. Yeah. Lost. Crazy.

173
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:58,000
You could get lost in any sort of anime, manga, television show like that very easily.

174
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:06,000
And they're just kind of like soap operas, dramas for your mind. Yeah. So let's move on.

175
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:20,000
We already have heard from various listeners about the episode that just dropped three hours because we included some voicemails that we've received over the past couple of weeks right at the top.

176
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:31,000
And so we kind of wanted to get a reaction. We just what what are your general thoughts, Parker, on some of the voicemails that we received the past couple of weeks?

177
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Well, we we got the Muncho Maniac chiming back in and he's he's wanting to eat hot dogs for breakfast. And I accept that challenge.

178
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:50,000
That was very Fourth of July inspired voicemail. You could feel the patriotism just rip roaring off of that voicemail.

179
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:58,000
The biggest patriot I know. Yeah, but he did lay down the gauntlet of a challenge and that is eating hot dogs for breakfast, which is like to me not a challenge.

180
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
That just seems like it sounds like it's just sounds like a fun time. Yeah.

181
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:12,000
But we're issuing you a challenge. Muncho Maniac. It's a video challenge that will post on the Instagram. It'll go on Instagram. And we've got a challenge for you.

182
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:23,000
And that challenge is to come through and have as many hot dogs as you can in the cold plunge. I don't know if Kevin will let you eat in the cold plunge, but it might be a thing where you have to catch up.

183
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Yeah, well, maybe we can figure it out. Yeah, we'll have a little tray across it. Yeah.

184
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:39,000
So we had much of call in lay down that challenge. We also had Kevin, our third co-host call in and correct us on the Jean Claude van Damme Predator Connection.

185
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:48,000
We stand corrected. It's Michael Scott, Gary Clark Hall, Michael, Michael, Michael, Gary Scott.

186
00:19:48,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Rolling in the dude. I love that. Being a big predator fan. I felt like I had to. Yeah. I mean, that's what the phone number is for. It's for people to call in and correct us when we're wrong.

187
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:09,000
I mean, exactly. I I don't know how to do that. I lie a lot. I forget a lot. I tell tall tales.

188
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:19,000
I know for a fact that the episode that dropped today, I have already I was corrected on it before it even saw the light of day. So, you know, I just bullshit.

189
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:29,000
So my wife's just now figuring that out in our relationship. We've been married for the this year will be 13 years.

190
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:37,000
And just this year, she started going, is that true? You just say stuff like it's true. And I just think that she just told me.

191
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Yeah. If you say it with confidence, it's true. Whether I'm misremembering or not. So in the past couple of months, she just starts fact checking me in real time.

192
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,000
And I'm 99 percent wrong. I'm 100 percent wrong. It did take her 13 years to figure that out, though.

193
00:20:52,000 --> 00:21:04,000
True. I kept up the charade pretty good. That's pretty solid. Solid. If you guys need tips on how to fool your wife for 13 years, head us up at 682-294-0101.

194
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Breakfast of Champs pod at Gmail dot com. We also had Kevin, we had to bring you back on because we had a kind of a disturbing voicemail left for us.

195
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Yeah, I apologize in advance. I haven't heard the episode yet, but whatever he called and said, I'm sorry about it.

196
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Yeah. He had our editor working overtime with the beeps there.

197
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Yeah, it was not not family friendly for the podcast. So, you know, he did end the call with Trump 2024 and he definitely some hate speech in the call.

198
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:44,000
So we had to bleep that out. I block his number, but he always makes new phone numbers or borrowers of somebody's phone.

199
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:50,000
I mean, he hears. Yeah. The gene seemed like a man of burner phones.

200
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Well, every message anybody gets from hands it with that, like written letters, text messages, emails. He signs it on checks.

201
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,000
I'm scared to know where his mind is now after recent events.

202
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:10,000
And we are talking about Jean, my older twin brother, in case you didn't your older twin brother. He's the evil twin. Yeah, he's definitely evil.

203
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:19,000
I definitely need a check in from Jean after events that transpired over the weekend. I don't know if he's emboldened or maybe he's he's definitely fired up.

204
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:26,000
He's also like most of Trump's base. Yeah. Yeah. He said that he was he said that he was getting out on Tuesday.

205
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,000
It is now Thursday. So Jean is now out in the wild. He does not have to call from behind bars.

206
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:40,000
So I'm going to be looking over my shoulder and I am also very I hope that he's not emboldened to do crazier things.

207
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Yeah, it's free. I haven't seen him yet, but I know he's out there and that makes it even scarier.

208
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,000
That's why whenever I heard that police siren really close, I was like, does he know when we're recording?

209
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Does he have the float? Well, I mean, company plays tapped. But does Jean train?

210
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,000
I'm not in a school. He'll just get into street fights and you think that's training.

211
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,000
OK, well, I feel safe with you, Kevin. You have a black belt in judo and jiu jitsu.

212
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
So he's got the wild card factor, though. You never know what he's going to do.

213
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,000
So how's your leg, Kevin? It's fine now. OK.

214
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,000
How bad did it hurt for and for how long? It did hurt.

215
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,000
It was sore till the next day, but not bruised, which is weird. And you don't bruise.

216
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Apparently not. Did you happen to catch his fight?

217
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
I didn't see the fight, but I saw the controversial ending of it.

218
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Yeah, we'll talk about that here in a bit. But yeah, it's part of the drama I want to talk about.

219
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,000
But I just wanted to make sure we're both on the same page there.

220
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000
So by your reaction, I can tell we are.

221
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:50,000
So yeah, if you have a voicemail for us, if you want to leave us a message about corrections or anything like that, give us a call.

222
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Once again, that's 682-294-0101. We'll do our best to feature you as quickly as possible.

223
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Sometimes we'll get backed up and we have lives and that whole thing.

224
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
So we're trying our best. You know, it's a free show, free show.

225
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000
So next on the list, we're going to talk about that cold plunge.

226
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:17,000
So so last time we were here, I just want to be like just for for continuity sake and just for like Kevin's sake as well.

227
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:23,000
The last time that I was here, I was in a really weird mental place, just being honest with you guys.

228
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:30,000
So like if you heard the episode with like Kevin and the float company, the first episode, like that was just a weird time.

229
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:46,000
And I was dealing with some like personal stuff and like just like not realizing that I was kind of like shutting people out and kind of like doing that weird thing where like I didn't feel like I deserve to be included in doing good things because I was, you know, just in my own head.

230
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:57,000
So I know just before we get into the cold plunge, if you are struggling with mental health problems and you need someone to talk to or you need someone to reach out to, please do that.

231
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:10,000
I've got friends that are in my life that, you know, personally, like I said, I was in a weird place, but I've got friends that have called me or text me in the past couple of weeks that are kind of in that same boat where they just feel like they're kind of lost aimless.

232
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:19,000
I don't know if it's the gold rims of summer, or just the fact that, you know, whatever's happening around us and our society is just kind of grading on us and bringing us down or whatever.

233
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:34,000
But like the biggest thing is that you like vocalize that. And so just reaching out to a friend and being like, hey, I'm in a shitty place really helps. And so before we recorded last time, like I kind of like pulled Parker said I was like, I just got into a fight with my wife.

234
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:46,000
I'm just like not feeling it and that whole thing. And so, like I said, I think the last time we were here, we had, you know, great grand ideas of like getting in cold plunge and like doing sauna and like having video of all that.

235
00:25:46,000 --> 00:26:01,000
And it was really my bad. So I just want to like before we get into the cold plunge and before we like talk to Kevin further, just bring that up to you guys. I know that like sometimes we get on here and we like put on this cool face and we're like, everything's great in our lives.

236
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:16,000
And we're, you know, this is a, you know, it it's hard to make sure that we're consistent with this and also keep our like personal lives, you know, compartmentalized out of the podcast because, you know, there are some days that we've recorded the podcast and you haven't slept.

237
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:23,000
You know, I, you know, we just had been traveling or like we have just been like, you guys don't realize that we also have kids and wives and that sort of thing.

238
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:33,000
So just to keep it real and just to kind of keep it real with Kevin that that last time we were here, I apologize, like I said, for being rushed and just kind of being out of here.

239
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:44,000
But I came this morning prepared. I got my mind right before I got here this morning. I woke up and just got my swimsuit on and put on my rash guard. I thought I was going to need it, but I didn't.

240
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Kevin was like, pop that shirt right off. So we got here and set up and the first thing we did was we we all cold plunged for three minutes. And that's the first time I've ever done it.

241
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:03,000
It was all three of us in the tub at the same time. Three guys, one tub, three bros, one tub, three bros, one tub. It's our new YouTube channel. Check it out.

242
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:14,000
So I guess, Kevin, tell us for people who don't know what a cold plunges, I think we kind of got into it on the last episode, but if they didn't hear it, tell us about the cold plunge and the benefits and all that.

243
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Yeah, so it's basically an ice bath without the ice. It has a chiller built in. So the water is always circulating and being cooled down.

244
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:37,000
There are a lot of benefits. A big one is mental toughness because it is something you don't really want to do, but you do it and then you realize it wasn't that bad and you feel good about just making yourself do that.

245
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Physical benefits. When I do it regularly, I'm hardly ever sore anymore. That's a big one for me.

246
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:58,000
And it also does a lot for your immune system, especially when you combine it with the sauna because those two modalities are really great on their own, but then that it's pretty much a hundred degree temperature difference between the two.

247
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:09,000
It really does a lot for getting your body to regulate its temperature on its own and also just kind of helping you avoid getting sick and those usual things that can come up.

248
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Oh yeah, because I know it helps with inflammation and stuff and I woke up this morning and my whole right lower back and right hip are killing me.

249
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:31,000
And I was like, oh man, I'm so glad we're cold plungeing this morning and it already feels so much better. When you're in it, you can't think about anything that hurts because it's so cold that all you can think about is how fucking cold you are.

250
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:40,000
But now I can definitely feel like my lower back has loosened up quite a bit and my hip is feeling better and it's amazing.

251
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Yeah, I think one of the mechanisms for that is all your blood goes to your core just to help keep everything warm.

252
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:54,000
And then getting out, especially if you go to the sauna, it goes back out to the extremities, which also improves circulation a lot.

253
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Like one of the biggest things I noticed when I first started was I got that pins and needles feeling in my feet really bad.

254
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:10,000
But after doing it a few times that went away and my dad, he has peripheral neuropathy, which is a condition where you have poorer blood flow to your feet.

255
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Like he can't even feel is anymore. It's so bad. So if there is some inherited trait there, I'm hoping that it mitigated that for me.

256
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Yeah, absolutely.

257
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:26,000
So we were in for a total of three minutes. And what was the type piece of 38?

258
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
I think it was 43 when we started.

259
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Oh, 43. OK. So yeah, if you've never done cold plunge, you kind of want to ease your way into it.

260
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:40,000
I accidentally lost my balance and splashed a little bit, but you kind of want to ease your way down into it.

261
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Kevin was kind enough to not make me like dunk my head or get all up in my chest area.

262
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:52,000
So I was up to probably about like mid mid belly and all of my lower extremities were in.

263
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,000
And then for that last minute, Kevin was like, put your hands in.

264
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,000
And I was like, oh, God, I only made it about 45 seconds of that last minute with my hands in.

265
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
It was just too much. I started shivering.

266
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:10,000
So it's the little tiny adjustment of putting your hand in that just like my brain was like too much.

267
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:18,000
And I've heard that that shiver is kind of what you're aiming for, because that supposedly is an indication of burning brown fat.

268
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Oh, perfect. But I did it right. Oh, yeah. I fucking expert first time. Nailed it.

269
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Fucking nailed it. I really in my brain, I like it's exactly like Kevin said.

270
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Your brain is telling every part of you that you do not want to do what you're about to do.

271
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:43,000
And then you just kind of like override your brain with like the decision, like your caveman decision of like, fuck the brain.

272
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:49,000
We're getting in this. And then once you're in it, you know, obviously you kind of have to breathe your way through it.

273
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,000
And but it really like you said, this knee was killing me. My back was a little tight.

274
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:01,000
That three minutes has done more for me than, you know, probably like 30 minutes of stretching or foam rolling or anything like that.

275
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:09,000
So recovery, if you have any soreness or any sort of aches and pains, I mean, the first time I felt a little relief from that.

276
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,000
So, I mean, thank you so much for allowing us to do that and experience that.

277
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Yeah. And you know, it's fantastic for recovery. But my favorite times do it are about maybe two hours before I go to judo.

278
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,000
I feel like it really gives me more energy for that. I can see that for sure.

279
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,000
The second I got out and started warming back up, I was like, fuck, this is great.

280
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:36,000
I think I read a study and Kevin, you probably have heard this too, but the cold plunge is the same.

281
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Like it hits the same receptors as like cocaine basically. And it gives you a similar effect.

282
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Yeah, I think I have heard that. And, you know, cocaine is horrible for you. Look at Conor McGregor.

283
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:55,000
So this is a healthy way that you don't have to worry about ruining your life or ending your life.

284
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:00,000
So, hey, if you want to do a bump, maybe just come to a cold plunge. It's also a lot cheaper.

285
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Come here and get addicted to this. That's right. You won't have to pull out of any of your fights.

286
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
You can just take a bump of that cold plunge and then you'll be right back in the mix.

287
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
You won't have to worry about you saw to knocking at your door for the cocaine.

288
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:20,000
You know, it will also keep your toes from breaking. Oh, OK. I don't know if that's true. Not medically proven. I lie a lot.

289
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,000
I've never broken a toe. OK, you heard it here first.

290
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:29,000
It'll help you not break toes. So all right, Conor McGregor, come on down.

291
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:35,000
So Kevin had a really great idea. We want to give him the entire credit for this idea.

292
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:42,000
I'm typing his name as I'm saying, but he was talking about obviously corrected us with the blood sport.

293
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,000
And as far as like Predator, which I'm sorry, with John Claude Van Damme historian.

294
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Yeah, with the Predator thing while we were on our blood sport sort of review, if you will.

295
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:04,000
And so his idea was if we were to make a remake of Bloodsport, if we were to recast Bloodsport today,

296
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000
who would we like to see in some of these characters places?

297
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,000
And so I've got the character list pulled up here on the whole IMDB.

298
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:23,000
And we can kind of go through this and kind of recast with some more modern day people, actors, maybe influencers, famous, famous people.

299
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Yeah, I'm I'm very like so Kevin texted me this like earlier in the week or late last week or something.

300
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000
And I was like, oh, man, this is a great idea.

301
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Like, I know that we don't agree with Bloodsport being remade because it's a perfect movie.

302
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:48,000
But if they were like to give it the Roadhouse treatment, like we could also talk who would want to direct it even because Newt Arnold directed the original.

303
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,000
I'm not I don't know if he's done anything else that I'm familiar with.

304
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Well, let's take a look. Newt Arnold also has done The Godfather Part Two Blade Runner War Games.

305
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:06,000
So he's a second unit or assistant director on these directed Bloodsport.

306
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
He's he's done a lot of like first and second assistant directors.

307
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Yeah, he really has. Ninja Turtle, Secret of the Ooze.

308
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:18,000
And so what's cool is usually the second unit director is the one who's doing a lot of the stunt work.

309
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
First AD.

310
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:28,000
So, yeah, that makes sense for him to do Bloodsport because he was doing a lot of the like filming the stunt scenes.

311
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Yeah.

312
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
OK, cool. Well, I'm glad we went down that rabbit hole.

313
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:45,000
So, yeah, let's start off top. So if you were to pick maybe a different director for Bloodsport, more modern director, who you who you think and you want to go director first before jumping to cast?

314
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Sure, sure. And, you know, I think with anybody here, we don't want big names.

315
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,000
I think that's one of the good things about this is, of course, John Claude Van Damme.

316
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,000
We all know him now at the time. He probably wasn't the superstar he is. Right.

317
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Think of him and the budget for this film was super low as well.

318
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000
So it's not like we're going to go get fucking Steven Spielberg or anything like that.

319
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:23,000
We wouldn't want him anyway for this. But and by the way, this thought came because we were listening to the last episode and then that inspired young Calvin O'Malley here to one watch Bloodsport again.

320
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:28,000
All right. So if he has any input on the original, just let us know.

321
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Any words on Bloodsport?

322
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Did you have a favorite part of Bloodsport?

323
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,000
No, no. All right.

324
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:48,000
My thought as far as director is concerned, right now, the only one that kind of comes to mind that's not super humongously big.

325
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:55,000
That's kind of like on the come up, maybe would be.

326
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,000
I don't know if Ty West is into.

327
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Well, that could be interesting. He he takes a he does more horror, but he did do in the Valley of Violence, which is a Western.

328
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:20,000
And I also think that like also not having like a maybe quote unquote horror director or I'm sorry, not a quote unquote action director or something that's like super into action movies to take a different look at it.

329
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Maybe even a more brutal look. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

330
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Yeah, that's that's an interesting take. I like that.

331
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:33,000
I think he's also just in the ether right now because of Maxine and Pearl and X. But you know, sorry, you think whoever did it.

332
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:43,000
And if it was redone, I think one thing that should be played out more is like the grittiness and brutality of it. Yeah, that's kind of why I went there because I want to see like the first time I watched.

333
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Have you seen X? Yes. Have you seen X? Yes, I have. So like the first time that Pearl kills someone and like it's I mean, like that didn't stop for a good 30, 45 seconds.

334
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:00,000
I was like, I was like, when is this going to end? My tummy does not like this.

335
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,000
I like someone that's like you want to be if you didn't like that.

336
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:11,000
So that's just kind of like my first thought as far as like maybe a horror or like a Rob Zombie or you know what I mean?

337
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Like like the beer horror movie so that we can get the more brutality thing.

338
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:21,000
But I just pulled up here the top 50 upcoming directors like the Ryan Coogler's number one. Yeah.

339
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,000
I mean, he did Creed, which was fantastic. Yeah.

340
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Alex Garland, that's really interesting. I mean, his most recent one was what? Civil War? I think so. Yeah.

341
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Oh man, Tycho, T.D. But some of these we wouldn't be able to get just because of price point.

342
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:41,000
I mean, you're not going to get a Ryan Coogler to do a lower budget. You'd be surprised.

343
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Unless it's just a passion project. Actually, I'm not sure.

344
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,000
So don't quote me on this because again, I don't know what I'm talking about, but he might be working on a UFC movie.

345
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,000
Like in some small part.

346
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Yann de Manget, The Minge. Lovecraft Country. Oh yeah, that show is cool. But also Top Boy. I didn't see that.

347
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:13,000
So Top Boy is like the the wires. I'm sorry, the UK's version of The Wire. OK.

348
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:21,000
But more I'd say more gritty. They deal with a lot of like because, you know, a lot of over there, there's not like a lot of gunplay.

349
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:28,000
Because, you know, of how illegal it is. So you've got a lot of like knives and like machetes and lots of people on.

350
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Yeah. On like Vespa's driving around throwing acid at people. So yeah, maybe.

351
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Or what's old boy that does? Jordan Peele. Yeah, I like that. I've got two.

352
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:51,000
I've won this guy. I just looked him up and apparently he's retired. His name is Ben Ramsey. OK.

353
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:58,000
He he did a movie called Blood and Bone. OK. I've seen that. I like that one.

354
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Yeah. Blood and Bone's really good. And it's kind of the similar style as Bloodsport.

355
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:11,000
It stars Michael Jai White, who is also a martial artist, who I would also probably cast in the kickbox remake.

356
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:22,000
I love Michael Jai White. But so Ben Ramsey, his he was he did Blood and Bone.

357
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:27,000
He also wrote the big hit with Mark Wahlberg. That was like his first big hit.

358
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:35,000
He also had a part in Don't Be a Minister South Central, Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. So we have Street Cred. Yeah.

359
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:41,000
But he also wrote Dragonball Evolution, which was the Dragon Ball Z live action movie that was terrible.

360
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:47,000
So I'd love to give him like, hey, come make something awesome. Yeah. I mean, that sounds good to me.

361
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:57,000
I'll go with that guy. Yeah. And then the other guy, he actually just released a movie and he I'm only familiar with two of his movies.

362
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:06,000
His name is Michael Sarnowski. He did a movie called Pig starring Nicholas Cage.

363
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Okay. And Nicholas Cage is like this former chef who lives out in the woods of Oregon.

364
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:20,000
And he has this prize truffle pig and he just goes hunting truffles and he sells them to chefs in Portland and all this.

365
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:27,000
And they like kind of it starts out they sold it more as like a John Wick type movie where somebody steals his pig.

366
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:32,000
And then he goes on like a hunt for vengeance for the pig. And there's definitely action in it.

367
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,000
But it's kind of like understated and like brooding.

368
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:45,000
And I think that he would do well because he also just directed A Quiet Place Day One, which is like his first major studio outing.

369
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,000
And it had lots of really good action scenes with like the monsters and stuff. It had some jump scares.

370
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,000
It had lots of tension, but it boiled down to like this really awesome human story.

371
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:03,000
And it had very similar themes to Pig of like relationships with animals, with nature, stuff like that.

372
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:10,000
And so I think that he could do a cool take on Bloodsport remake. And he's also a director to watch.

373
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Nice. I get very popcorn answers. You're a little bit more in depth with the AMC connection there.

374
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,000
So let's go right into it. Who are you choosing? Yeah, Kevin, give us some thoughts.

375
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
I don't really have any thoughts on it. I'm not too familiar with any directors.

376
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:33,000
I'm right there with you. Like I know peripheral directors, but let's save Jean-Claude Van Damme's character for last maybe.

377
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:42,000
OK, so I think this one would be a fun one. Whoever. Who do you think who have for Jackson originally played by Donald Gibb?

378
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Jackson's character was the character that was like the Street Fighter esque.

379
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Post Malone. Wow. No, I'm kidding. Not Post Malone.

380
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:59,000
So honestly, a bigger guy, maybe tattooed biker kind of.

381
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:07,000
I said Michael Jai White earlier that I'd want to cast him and I feel like he's a little bit older, but he can still hold his own.

382
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:13,000
And maybe Jackson. I don't know about that. Yeah.

383
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:24,000
Only because Michael Jai White is known for like speed and like elegance and like being post Malone.

384
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:30,000
No, no, no. But like the fact of Jackson's character never using a single martial art in the entire movie.

385
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:39,000
I guess that's true. Yeah. Be kind of like a counterintuitive there with Michael Jai White. You want to show off his martial arts, you know, so action Bronson in that role.

386
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Perfect. I mean, there's no there's no need to go further. Yeah. In my opinion.

387
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,000
OK, Kevin, do you know Action Bronson? I've heard the name, but not familiar with.

388
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:56,000
Let me pull up a picture. Action Bronson is a rapper from New York.

389
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:01,000
He is the former one of the former chefs for the New York Mets.

390
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:08,000
And whenever he slipped and fell in the kitchen, he broke his leg and decided to become a rapper.

391
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:15,000
And so he's got a lot of food references. He's got a lot of sports references.

392
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:20,000
He's got a television program called Fuck That's Delicious.

393
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:34,000
He is also has lately been into fitness and he's specifically into like kettlebell training and Mace and like functional fitness things.

394
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:41,000
I forget the like hydro bag. I see him using that a whole lot.

395
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,000
So, yeah, like that's kind of that's a great cast casting for him, I think.

396
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,000
I mean, he's obviously got the he he's got the look.

397
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,000
He's got the look. He usually comes out on stage in kind of like wrestling gear.

398
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:05,000
He usually wears like a tank top, elbow pads whenever he was first coming up before he got like super popular, like more like pitchfork crowd.

399
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:12,000
He was like DDT people from the crowd. He was actually this. I changed my answer just based on this.

400
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,000
No, I got a better answer. Oh, OK. We can we can keep going down action.

401
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Bronson. But I got another answer for this character. So how big is this guy?

402
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Oh, that's a good question. He does have the look.

403
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:27,000
But one of the things about Jackson was he was I think even better than Charlie. Yeah. Yeah.

404
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Like he was definitely over six foot, maybe like I've always assumed he was like six, four to six, six range, like just a big dude.

405
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Five, nine. Yeah. A little too short. A little too short. OK.

406
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Here's here's my next one. And this is a pro wrestler who also plays in a hardcore band.

407
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Brody King. OK. He's an A.E.

408
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,000
What is that?

409
00:44:53,000 --> 00:45:00,000
He's this lead singer of God's Hate. He's a massive human being.

410
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Actually, at Sound and Fury this past weekend, he like did a wrestling move on a stage diver.

411
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Six, three, two, eighty five. Yeah. It's like just a big dude, intimidating, loves violence.

412
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,000
I think that he would also be a good fit for Jackson. I'm down for that.

413
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,000
He's got the look and the size. Yeah. Let's see if we can pull up some more Brody.

414
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:30,000
I'm going to see if I can pull up this video. What is the name? Brody Stevens. Stevens. King. Brody King.

415
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Steven Brody Stevens. Yes. Positive push.

416
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:41,000
I love rest in peace, Brody Stevens. That just made me realize he was such a good guy.

417
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,000
All right. He's got it. Does he have a straight edge jacket here? Yeah, he's straight edge.

418
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Even better. Here he is on stage from this past week. Yeah. All right.

419
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:58,000
I think that he would be a great Jackson. Man, I wish I could find this video.

420
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:04,000
I'm sure it's I'll find it on the Internet and I'll send it to you all. But oh, here it comes.

421
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:13,000
Boom. Right into the crowd. Yeah, that's perfect. So I think Brody King equals Jackson. Yeah.

422
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:21,000
I think he'd be a good one. All right. So next on the list, we have Janice, who's playing the sexy reporter?

423
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Because Leah Ayers was not that.

424
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:34,000
How old was she before we get into that? I think she's fairly attractive.

425
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,000
I got to contend what you guys said about her last time. I'm sorry.

426
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:44,000
There's definitely she does have kind of that 80s look, but there's definitely people who have that more.

427
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:52,000
And I think she's not too far off from beauty standards today. So she reprises her role.

428
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:57,000
No, I just want to argue about last time. I know. Yeah, I agree with you.

429
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:02,000
There are some like there's definitely that that 80s look for for for ladies.

430
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:16,000
And that's sort of one of those things where like if you go back and watch like Christmas vacation is one I always think about because you have like Beverly Beverly D'Angelo, who is sexy and very 80s in that movie.

431
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:23,000
But then you had like that supermodel that was at the counter. Yeah. Who like did not look 80s at all. Yeah.

432
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:37,000
So, yeah, you have like that converseness there. But I'm wearing those right now. That that whole scene is classic. Can't see the line. Can you rest?

433
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:49,000
So let's objectify women here for a moment. And who is a pretty lady that could play a reporter that was that is into uncovering the secrets of the kumatai?

434
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:57,000
You going with Kevin? Well, still not unknown, but not a huge star.

435
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:03,000
Alexandra Daddario or however you say her name. Yeah, I've watched anything with her.

436
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Let's take a look. True Detective season one. Oh, I don't need to look. Yeah. Yeah. What do you hear else inside piece of that one? Okay. Yeah. You heard anything. I'm watching it. Yeah.

437
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:27,000
That's it. That's a good choice. Yeah. I know being brown haired, but in Asia, I still think she has a good time, you know, getting her way into an underground fighting event.

438
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:34,000
She got the blue eyes. She has other things going for. Again, I'm pulling up beautiful young actresses.

439
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:50,000
I'm DV. We talked about Ty West earlier. So, you know, Mia Goth is yeah, like one of the best right now. I don't know if she would necessarily do great in that role, but I would be totally down to see her in the who Elizabeth Olsen.

440
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Yeah.

441
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Maybe maybe someone that's not as well known that would do well.

442
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:20,000
That would be a good one. Zoe Kravitz. Yeah, I like she's great in Batman. So yeah, and also like a little diversity to the cast. Yeah, as far as like not necessarily being it like must be a white lady.

443
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,000
Because that's what it was in the original one.

444
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,000
We gotta get Kathleen Kennedy in on this.

445
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Also, you know, would be good to.

446
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:45,000
And like, in my opinion, could probably like maybe play herself is Laura Senko from the UFC. I don't know if you know her.

447
00:49:45,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Laura Senko. Oh, yeah, she's a sideline like reporter or whatever. Yeah, for the UFC. But she also trains martial arts. So if there was ever like a scene that like, yeah, she was an em, she competed professionally for Invicta.

448
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:16,000
So if there was ever like a scene where she kind of got roughed up, she could handle her own plushie very knowledgeable of like MMA and UFC and kind of is not necessarily known as an actress. Absolutely. Yeah, that would be very cool.

449
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:35,000
Yeah, between her and then like Megan O'Leavy is the other one that that calls. But Megan O'Leavy is actually married to a UFC fighter. That guy. Oh, I forget what his name is, but she's married to that guy. But she's another one that would be like sideline reporter.

450
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:53,000
Here's her standing on a box talking to Kevin Hollen. Yeah. So yeah, there's a lot of young pretty actresses. Like you said, you got Mia Goth. Yeah. And then Halsey is also in Maxine. Yeah, she's kind of making her way into the active game.

451
00:50:53,000 --> 00:51:10,000
Yeah, any musician we could just do a musician one if we did this too. Like you have like Billy Eilish and on there. No, I was thinking more of Haley Williams from Paramore. Okay. Yeah, like a non actor kind of. Yeah.

452
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:31,000
And that role. All right. What about you want to do the cops? Yeah. So we got Helmer and Rollins. I could see Michael J. White. That's kind of with Helmer. You know, no Rollins. Oh, Rollins. I'm trying to switch it up. Oh, okay. And he's also a little bit older now because Forrest Whitaker was young in this. That's true.

453
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:52,000
That's true. That's so Michael. Yeah. Why would Michael J. White would be the like the aging agent that also like, but he knows some stuff. He can handle his own. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm thinking is. Okay. So then we need a younger person for Rollins. I think, you know, let's get a little wild and have Forrest Whitaker be the old one.

454
00:51:52,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Yeah. And then Michael J. White. I have about the same age. Probably. I have a fun Forrest Whitaker aside. That's a shout out to my mother-in-law. She was in court one time and was getting into it with a judge and the judge had a lazy eye and she goes, shut your mouth. Forrest Whitaker looking as bitch.

455
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:24,000
Whoa. This is your mom? This is my mother-in-law. Oh, mother-in-law. And I've always said that I'm going to get, like, I don't have any portrait tattoos, but I want to get a Forrest Whitaker like ghost dog portrait with that quote underneath it.

456
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:43,000
That's good. He young buck actors that could play like dumb though, because he was kind of clueless in that, wasn't he? He was like, oh, I've fallen in the lake. I feel like. I think Post Malone would be that good character.

457
00:52:43,000 --> 00:53:01,000
I think it needs to be somebody who's more of a comedian than that. More of a comedian. Like an up and coming comedian type. I'm thinking like Saturday Night Live, but I'm also not super familiar with the current Saturday Night Live cast, but someone who kind of fits that role of like.

458
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Snarky. Yeah. Maybe like a Tony Hinchcliffe. I could see that. Yeah. Like a smaller, but still imposing in his personality. Yeah, absolutely. Michael Che, is that his name? Oh yeah. I could definitely see that.

459
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Very sarcastic and sardonic would probably match up height wise with like a Forrest Whitaker or Michael J. White, whichever way we went in that way. Let's see who we got for Tiger Tanaka. Who's going to train our main character?

460
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Why don't we make Michael Tiger Tanaka since he's older? And Forrest Whitaker is. And Forrest Whitaker is Helmer. And then we've got, I keep on hitting this, but then we've got Michael Che as Rollins.

461
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,000
And then we've got, I don't know who's special lady.

462
00:53:53,000 --> 00:54:11,000
For Tanaka, you know, pretty much any time they need a Japanese guy, they have Hiroyuki Sonata from Shogun or Ken Watanabe. Who's the guy that plays. Both great actors, but I don't know if I want either one of them. Maybe somebody more unknown.

463
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:20,000
What's his name? Who's the guy that plays? I keep on going to images when I don't mean to.

464
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:29,000
Well, I would say David Carradine. RIP.

465
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Gordon Lu?

466
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:39,000
He doesn't look old enough though. I'm talking about the guy that. Are you talking Sonny Chiba? Yeah, Sonny Chiba. Yeah.

467
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:49,000
That'd be a good one. Yeah. Sonny Chiba. I believe he passed away though, didn't he? Oh God. Here we go. Fact checking was alive. He might have. No.

468
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,000
I feel like it is Sonny Chiba marathon.

469
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:57,000
Oh, yeah. 2021.

470
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:05,000
Who's the guy that plays in John Wick that's Blight?

471
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:11,000
Donnie Yen. Oh, Donnie Yen would be good. Yeah, that's a good one. Right. This guy right here.

472
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:15,000
But is he old enough to be a Tanaka?

473
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,000
I mean, he looks old enough. You know, I don't care, but he's Chinese.

474
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:25,000
So people might care about that. That's true. Got to keep it.

475
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Well, we can come back to Tanaka if we think of somebody. So let's see here. We've got let's go to maybe Chong Li.

476
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:42,000
Who do we have as the villain for someone we see as like killing someone? Yeah, this was a tough one for me.

477
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:50,000
And believing it. I think, you know, with it being said in Underground Hong Kong, it should be an Asian person.

478
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:55,000
What if we change the setting? We could, but I think the setting was a big part of the movie.

479
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:03,000
Because the Walloon. Yeah. Wall City is no longer there, right? No. Yeah.

480
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:09,000
I was thinking like if we change the setting, then we could make it a different nationality and then we could kind of flip the script on who has to be what.

481
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:19,000
But let's see here because it was a Japanese event, but it was set in Hong Kong. Yeah.

482
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Let's do this. But my thoughts were a little more known, so maybe not.

483
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,000
But Dave Bautista, he could be a good Chong Li. Oh, yeah.

484
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:35,000
Or a judo guy who's still doing MMA now and some acting Satoshi Ishii.

485
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Okay. He's a big giant guy. He could be pretty intimidating. That'd be awesome.

486
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:49,000
Oh, what about, I know he's not a big guy, but the Korean zombie.

487
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Yeah, he could be good because I do like the size of the guy. Big Asian actors.

488
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:02,000
I don't even know how to spell Asian, right? Google searches.

489
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:08,000
I know it's going to betray you. Big Asian.

490
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,000
This could go a few different ways. Your results.

491
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:20,000
Lucy Liu's number one. Oh, Ken Jeong. Dr. Ken.

492
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:24,000
I didn't mean big as in popular, but in stature.

493
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:28,000
The biggest Asian actors in Hollywood right now.

494
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Let's see here. Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan, Jet Li.

495
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,000
They're still the most popular ones. Yeah. Legends never die.

496
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,000
I guess that's true, but what have they done for me lately?

497
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:49,000
Good point. Man, this is going to prove to be tough if we have to stick with Chong Li being.

498
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:53,000
One of the challenges for any of the fighters was, as far as I know,

499
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:57,000
there aren't a whole lot of good martial arts movie stars right now.

500
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Yeah, you're right. We had to pull from MMA to get anyone for blood.

501
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,000
I mean, for Roadhouse. I guess we could do that, too.

502
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:11,000
I mean, we have been kind of. But let's see here.

503
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,000
Any of these other ones. So who are you going to go for Frank?

504
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:20,000
Who's going to be our Frank? Do you think? Because you can't do you've already got like Roadhouse.

505
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:24,000
No, Jalen Hall. That's OK. No, Connor. Good for that.

506
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Yeah, I mean, you need somebody different. Who's going to be the next American?

507
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:35,000
I was actually thinking Michael Jai White for Frank, which I think some people would get upset.

508
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,000
Calling him a D.I. higher, which I'm happy to piss those people off.

509
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:43,000
Yeah, but I do think he'd be do a good job about it. Yeah, I think so, too.

510
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:50,000
I think there's probably not anybody more apt as far as their martial arts skill and also their acting is concerned.

511
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:57,000
Yeah, that could handle it. My second choice, though, a lot from seeing the iron claw was

512
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:02,000
Jeremy Allen White. Oh, actually, I really I think he would.

513
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:07,000
Yeah, he would. It would bring that, you know, how like all movies now, like action movies.

514
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,000
The actors are always like brooding stars.

515
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:14,000
And I this, you know, obviously in the 80s, they weren't brooding the same way.

516
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:20,000
But I feel like he would bring that like 20 20s, like brooding action star.

517
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,000
And he's got the look like, yeah, that's a that's a great.

518
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,000
And he beefed up really well for the. Yeah, as well.

519
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:31,000
So, you know, he wouldn't have the campiness or John Claude Van Dam, but he would.

520
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:36,000
I can see him actually looking upset about his sensei dying. Yeah, absolutely.

521
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,000
Yeah, that's that's a great. Good call. I like that, Kevin. Thank you.

522
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:45,000
Anybody else that we have to cast? Is there anybody that stands out that needs to be mentioned?

523
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,000
I don't think so. I don't think so either.

524
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:54,000
I think that just for comedic relief, I think that maybe Ken Jong could be the translator slash.

525
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,000
You know what I mean? Like the guy with the glasses.

526
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,000
Absolutely. The guide. Yeah, that's the one.

527
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:05,000
So, yeah, if you've got any great suggestions for who should be recast in this fictional bloodsport movie

528
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:12,000
we're making a shout out shout us out on phone call or email or even on the socials.

529
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000
We've got a little bit more time here for I got to get off to work.

530
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,000
So let's move on to any M.A.

531
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,000
drama that's happened in the past week that we haven't talked about previously.

532
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:27,000
So one thing that I brought up just quickly cursor rarely is if you've been keeping up with us,

533
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,000
we've talked about Nate Diaz versus Horton Hospitals boxing match.

534
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:36,000
So the scuttlebutt there is that they fan me.

535
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Oh, is the company, the production company that put on this event.

536
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:46,000
They promised Nate Diaz 10 million dollars with a signing bonus of one million and then nine to follow after the event.

537
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,000
His lawyers and him were very concerned about this.

538
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:54,000
They asked for the guarantee in writing. They've got text messages. They've got emails.

539
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:59,000
They've got guarantees from this company that they have the money that the money actually went into escrow

540
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:03,000
for the sanctioning to even happen for the event.

541
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,000
So it's not a matter of whether or not the money is available.

542
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:10,000
It's just like turning it over to Nate Diaz.

543
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:14,000
And so fan me. I was one not this is not a top tier company.

544
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,000
It's not like top rank. It's not like the UFC. It's not like anything like that.

545
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,000
It's one of those production companies that's trying to make a name for itself.

546
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:25,000
The only other combat sports event that they put on was Jake Paul versus Floyd Mayweather a few years ago.

547
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:29,000
So it was a gamble for Nate Diaz and Jorge to take this fight.

548
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,000
Obviously, if you're going to pay Nate 10, you're going to pay Jorge 10.

549
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,000
So I don't know if Jorge got paid or not.

550
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:43,000
But the CEO of Fan Meo in a text message to Nate Diaz basically said, if I give you this nine million dollars, my wife will divorce me.

551
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:49,000
And so I think he was trying to play to Nate's sympathy and maybe try to get some more time.

552
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,000
But Nate and his lawyers were obviously prepared for that.

553
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,000
They had already filed a lawsuit in Florida.

554
01:01:55,000 --> 01:02:03,000
And so that lawsuit will be played out over the next probably couple of weeks, months to see if Nate gets his nine million dollars.

555
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:20,000
But the thing that kind of like puts that I was selling Parker, that kind of puts a little tickle in the back of my ear for all that is the fact that if Nate is expecting income and then he doesn't get income, that kind of maybe like puts some of his plans like off.

556
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:27,000
And so if there is a need for income, I know of one promotion that will definitely pay Nate Diaz.

557
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:41,000
So if this lawsuit kind of like sours Nate as far as like trying to like drum up his own business and trying to like be out on his own promotion, I think there is probably a path for him to come back to the UFC.

558
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:46,000
So that's kind of the drama when it comes to that is concerned.

559
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:55,000
There's some more drama brewing when it comes to who's letting the cat out of the bag for the sphere card.

560
01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:19,000
So I don't know if you watched the last last weekend's UFC event, but if you were in French Canada, and you were listening to their simulcast, their announcers accidentally let out some information about who the headliners were going to be for the sphere event in September, Riyadh season presents UFC Noche.

561
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:32,000
And apparently, they had some sort of information that said that Max Holloway and Elliot Taporria, we're going to headline and that sugar shot O'Malley and Merab Duval Shafili, we're going to co headline.

562
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,000
And so everybody kind of took that information and went like buck wild with it.

563
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:50,000
Somebody even made a fake poster, and the socials are kind of blowing up but I guess the UFC put word out to a couple of different media agencies to get the word out that that is not the fight that's going to happen.

564
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:54,000
So I was, I text Parker, it's like this is going to be a great card.

565
01:03:54,000 --> 01:04:08,000
But apparently that's not happening and so now we've kind of got this event that is kind of weird and in jeopardy for like who's going to headline. So, from what I hear the only for sure.

566
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:27,000
The only event that's happening that night is Alexa Grasso will be fighting Valentina chef Shinko for her belt. And sugar Sean has stated that he is training for the sphere event so in my mind I'm thinking sugar Sean Merab Duval Shafili is going to be the headliner Alexa Grasso Valentina chef Shinko is going to be the co headliner.

567
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:44,000
The other weird thing about this event though is Dana said that there's only going to be 10 fights, which is a light pay per view card is 12 or 13. Yeah, so he also stated that he's already into this for $17 million and it's not even September yet.

568
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:51,000
Yeah, I was gonna say like, if they're doing it this fear it's gonna definitely be expensive, like one of the more expensive productions put on.

569
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:57,000
So yeah, this is also the first time they have a co promoter Riyadh season.

570
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:18,000
Shake L Turkey has flint in some promotion there so this is not just a UFC event this is going to be a Riyadh season event as well. So it's going to be the first time that's ever going to be from the sphere and so the scuttlebutt for this is that there may be some sort of way some sort of like

571
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:30,000
background push for Habib to come out of retirement and fight Connor. Now that the Connor Michael Chandler fight is kind of blown up.

572
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:48,000
The UFC just re released their last fight, they, they're calling it muted, which is basically they removed all the fighter commentary off of the top of it so you can hear the fighters when they're talking you can hear the corner men, give their instructions they've got it all translated out there

573
01:05:48,000 --> 01:06:00,000
and so in my mind, there's no reason to release this fight, unless you're trying to like drum up some, you know, some sort of like rivalry.

574
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:15,000
Hate from that that you know that would definitely get people buying the pay per view and that would be huge, especially the first, you know, UFC fight at the sphere, like legendary historic moment.

575
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:29,000
Yeah, so I mean, if you're unfamiliar with Habib he's probably when he retired he was the pound for pound fighter. He's never lost 29 and oh from Dagestan.

576
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:44,000
He's also coaching Islam Makachev right now, and some of his various friends and family members that live out in that area. He also had Golden Eagle promotions for a minute that they haven't put on event in a while so.

577
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:49,000
In my mind I'm thinking he doesn't have any fights coming up promotion wise.

578
01:06:49,000 --> 01:07:04,000
The UFC is kind of in shambles with everybody pulling out and having different contracts disputes not in the sense of their in shambles of they're going to close up a shop or anything but as far as like their organizational skills and planning when it comes to these fights, got a lot of people

579
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:12,000
pulling out a lot of people big names that are, you know, trying to shuffle their like Michael Chandler I straight up hasn't fought two and a half years because he's been he's been waiting on Connor.

580
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:27,000
So I think that he had he not taken that Connor fight and just fought like a regular schedule he might even be retired by now. He was on his way out anyway. So, there's going to be kind of like I would say a new class of like who the face of the UFC is coming up we've got

581
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:42,000
obviously poet on is making his rounds as far as like being the face of the UFC and you've got sugar Sean you've got a Israel and Draco's coming up that something to look forward to. That's the other. That's the last thing as far as MMA dramas concern.

582
01:07:42,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Are you familiar with Israel out of Sonia Draco's do Plessy a little bit. Yeah, Kevin you you kind of know about a little bit right about it. Yeah. So, Draco's is from South Africa, and he lives in South Africa trains in South Africa was born there lives there blah blah blah blah blah.

583
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:15,000
At one point. I don't know if Israel kind of like took this and kind of made it his like, this is my reason to fight this guy or whatever. But there was some talk of Drake is basically saying he was the real African champion.

584
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:32,000
Yeah, because Israel out of Sonia lives in New Zealand and tomorrow usman lives in America and Francis and God knew lived in France or wherever he was living at the time and so his point was he's the only one that is from Africa and it still lives there and so

585
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Israel took that really really really to heart. And so, the night that Drake has to Plessy one and they had Israel out of Sonia front row, you could tell that is he was really drunk, and they brought him in and he got in Drake is his face and the first thing he was like

586
01:08:50,000 --> 01:09:05,000
What's up my n word What's up my brother, my African brother, you know now I'm hearing your face blah blah blah and Drake has got really shook. I think I didn't think that he, I don't think that he wanted to go that route as far as like the rape make it super racial and like

587
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:24,000
I don't know that route and so they let them cool off for a minute but that fight is now back on. And so that whole like racially filled tirade. I went back and watched it again and I was just like man I can't believe I saw that live because Israel is real drunk, you can tell he

588
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:38,000
and slur in his words and definitely let the n word fly about 1015 times right in his face and so that's kind of a little drama for you, if you're into like some of the background drama, not to mention that we've got fights that are happening this weekend.

589
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:58,000
And so, like I said, if you're joining us. Let's see here. Close events upcoming we got coming up. Yeah. So the next couple of days, if you're listening to this, you will have seen Amanda lame of versus Virna genre Robe.

590
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:12,000
That's the UFC fight night that's happening Saturday July 20 here in a couple of days or if you're listening to this it just happened. So, on this card we've got Brad to Varus and a junior Park, as the co main.

591
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:32,000
You've got Steve Garcia versus seeing one Choi from South Korea. You've got Kurt Hallibah and canine crew choose ski, Chris, ski, Cody Durden, Bruno Silva and do whole choice versus bill Algeo.

592
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:45,000
You've got John young Lee versus hider a mill Brian Keller her versus Cody Gibson Miranda Maverick versus Diana Barbosa or Dion Dion look Barbosa.

593
01:10:45,000 --> 01:11:03,000
Loic, I'm going to get these names. I'm impressed Luke Loic rods above versus Troy tray Ogden Luana Carolina versus Lucy pulled over and then Mohammed us Usman versus Thomas Peterson.

594
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:21,000
We've got a local fighter that's fighting right off the right off the rip so please tune in and watch Mohammed Usman versus Thomas Peterson, that is the first fight Mohammed is a local fighter from Dallas he's also the brother to tomorrow usman.

595
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:41,000
Mohammed has actually been in here to float several times. That's awesome. Yeah, so we've got, speaking of someone that's been here we an MMA drama we had Rizak Hassan Abdul Rizak Hassan fight last weekend and kind of had a controversial stoppage for too many blows to the back of the head,

596
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:56,000
but we're talking to Parker I was talking with Parker earlier and you could kind of maybe if you read about it or saw some highlights from it. I don't think that some of those were to the back of the head I think that he was doing his best to aim off to the side to the

597
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:03,000
ear and really was cognizant of where he was placing some of those blows was the only one aiming off to the ear.

598
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,000
Sorry, that's how good.

599
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:22,000
I really will ask Gene about it on his next call. I really think that we should have given him a warning and restarted the fight. But yeah, I mean that was most of the fight because I didn't see anything besides what was controversial which is maybe 30 seconds into

600
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:39,000
it. Well that's the whole fight. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, my understanding is he got a good hit. Other guy went for a single leg. That's how they ended up in that position and watching what they said were the 12 to six elbows are hitting him in the back of the head.

601
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:55,000
Maybe one was the rest were all deliberately on the side or with his forearm. Yeah, which I don't know, you know, hitting somebody with your form in the back of the head if that's legal or not. But they're all pretty obviously aiming for the side of his head.

602
01:12:55,000 --> 01:13:10,000
Yeah, I mean, I've seen it at least three or four times and I'm right there with you. I think that was a bullshit decision. I think he should have gotten a point taken away. If you're going to do anything, you should have given him a warning at the very most. Take a point away. Start the fight back over.

603
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:26,000
Cody Brundage was the guy that he was fighting and I think that Cody just didn't want to continue in my opinion. I think that impression that they had two doctors explaining to him that the fight wasn't over and asking him if he wanted to continue to fight his answer was I don't know.

604
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:42,000
So in my opinion, I think that he felt the power of Mr. Hassan and he was like, I don't want to mess with him. I'm done. We'll just call this a no contest. So Kevin's also felt that power. Yeah. Razak, he did give me a pretty good leg kick last time he came in.

605
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:57,000
Yeah. So Dan Murgliano, get your shit together. That was the first fight of the night for you. I don't think that you, you know, you probably should have done a better job in my opinion, but that's we're a little biased. I understand Brundage was acting pretty normal.

606
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:26,000
Once they stopped, I'm sure. Yeah. So Cody Brundage, you're kind of a pussy for not stepping up to the plate saying you're ready to fight and finishing that fight out. I don't know. I would have. I'm already in there and I'm already kind of concussed a little bit. I think I'm going to go out on my sword. I'm not going to be like, no, I can't fight anymore. I'm sorry. My head hurts now. And if you, if you can make that decision to stop the fight, you're not hurt anyway. Yeah. Yeah, I agree with you. Yep. So yeah, we've got these fights.

607
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:55,000
Coming up in my opinion, I think again, Amanda Lamos is going to go ahead and take care of business. Verna Jandaroba kind of has one of those floaty eyes that we were talking about last night. I'm not trying to be insensitive by that. I did see a funny thing. Do you know who Michael Bisping is? I don't. He's a former UFC fighter who's now a commentator. He, he legit lost his eye in a UFC fight and didn't tell anybody, just pulled out.

608
01:14:55,000 --> 01:15:16,000
He didn't tell anybody, just plucked a glass eye in there and fought with one eye for the rest of his career. Whoa. So you kind of knew something was up because you could kind of see that it was not moving. But I just saw a blooper of him over the past weekend and he was standing in the middle of two fighters and they were like, all right, you guys just want to kind of look at each other.

609
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:38,000
And he was like, and then he pulled his eye and pushed it to one side and then made his eye look at the other. And he's like, how's this? That's awesome. Michael Bisping, that dude is the count. He is a freaking badass of badasses. So yeah, I don't know if Verna needs to hang out with Michael Bisping a little bit.

610
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:55,000
But yeah, I don't know. Every time, every time I see her fight, I just think of like, it's almost like whenever, I don't know if you're familiar, Dracus, we just talked about him. He had like a deviated septum and was only getting like 3% oxygen from his nose and was still going out there and fighting people basically with no nose.

611
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:05,000
He got his nose fixed and now his cardio is through the roof. You have people that do that all the time where you just like, you know, Nate Diaz had scar tissue on his face and because he fought so much, he just would never get it.

612
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:16,000
And so I feel the same way like Charles Oliveira, every time he wins a fight and then he puts his glasses on. How do you accurately hit somebody if you can't see them without your glasses?

613
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:24,000
So Verna, I love you. You're a great scrappy fighter, but that eye freaks me out sometimes while we're fighting.

614
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:32,000
What else do we have here guys? We got, oh, okay. So before we wrap it up, this will be the last thing we talked about here. We've talked about him a little bit.

615
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:46,000
Action Bronson. Now, for those of you who don't know who Action Bronson is, we kind of gave you a little behind the back scenes, but I feel like this man is stealing our lives.

616
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,000
He's on the same wavelength as us.

617
01:16:48,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Our wavelength. Him and I were, we were only 21 days apart. He's 40. I'm 40. He was born on December 2nd. I was born on December 23rd.

618
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:15,000
So this gentleman just released a record. It is called Johann Sebastian Baklava, I believe. Johann Sebastian Baklava the Doctor is what it's called.

619
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:22,000
And I was just kind of listening to it and just, you know, trying to, there's not even a Wikipedia. Great.

620
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:37,000
One second. I was listening to it and we actually saw the, the like first single that he released in video form and I sent it to you and I sent it to Phil and I was like, this guy is just stealing our lives.

621
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:47,000
And like he legit is stealing our lives. It's also funny. So last time we were here with Kevin, you know, we've been talking about floating and cold plunge and sauna and benefits of that.

622
01:17:47,000 --> 01:18:01,000
And that very day after we recorded that episode, another very well known podcast had action Bronson on and they talked about floating and sauna and cold plunge and they talked about kettlebells and maces.

623
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:08,000
Like everything we had recorded, not having heard this, not knowing, like it came out maybe while we were recording the episode.

624
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:13,000
Yeah. And just like, you know, we're, we're on that same wavelength.

625
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:22,000
Yeah. So, like I said, the album is called Johann Sebastian Baklava, the doctor just came out on the 11th.

626
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:38,000
There's a couple of songs that we've already heard, but the one that I kind of wanted to touch base on is Hogan because not only is he rapping about like he namedrops, I think six different UFC fighters throughout this project.

627
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:50,000
But this part right here, lyrics are Mel Gibson gave me COVID at McGregor versus Poirier three when he broke his leg. His favorite breakfast was Coke and eggs.

628
01:18:50,000 --> 01:19:04,000
So my thing is with this line, we've got violence, we've got breakfast, we've got the fact that Connor's always on Coke. We've got, I mean, we just got so much that we've talked about on this podcast, all within just a few seconds of each other.

629
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:17,000
Yeah. And three lines. I'm going to add another layer to this. I was going to bring up a picture for you guys to have for the video episodes when I'm out there. So I'm still kind of the third coast is there, but that was going to be a picture of me and Hulk Hogan.

630
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:26,000
Oh, perfect. Yeah, exactly. Perfect. So I was looking at this one.

631
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:45,000
Anyways, he shouts out Francis and Ghanu. He shouts out Shavkat Ramana. Shavkat Ramana. That's how you say his name. He's got a track on here named after of Hideo Nomo. I mean, like NBA leather on NBC. NBA leather was the tour that he was on with Earl Sweatshirt and Boldy James.

632
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:54,000
And I went to go see that show. It was probably one of the best shows I've ever seen. Hideo Nomo is the one that I think he, let's see.

633
01:19:54,000 --> 01:20:11,000
That's the one that you sent me first. I got more karate moves than Steven Seagal. He says Seagal. He does. It really kind of made me angry. But that's the thing, right? If you, if you are trying to insult Steven Seagal, you call him by his real name Seagal and say it's karate moves.

634
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:33,000
Karate moves. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So if you're into this podcast and you'd like to hear like the hip hop version of this podcast, just listen to Action Bronson's new record. Also, Action, I need to, we need to like fight or something because everything, the video that you just released, you went camping.

635
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:49,000
And my homie, that's the editor of this podcast, Phil, his current line is all about camp. So you stole that from Phil. You stole your love of UFC and love of hip hop and love of breakfast foods from us. This whole record is basically the soundtrack to our podcast.

636
01:20:49,000 --> 01:21:06,000
So we're going to need royalties. Yeah. I need something. You're going to have to put something down on this. So if you hear this Action Bronson, you give us a call 682-294-0101 and tell us how much you're going to compensate us for stealing our vibes and our lives and our stories.

637
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:15,000
Get out of my head, Action Bronson. Or at least come in here, float, do a cold plunge. Yeah. Let's, let's, let's chop it up in real life. Yeah, for sure.

638
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:31,000
Again, we're here every week, Thursdays, 6 a.m. Central time, talking breakfast foods and violence. We're pretty much wrapping up for the day. So I'm going to let Kevin take it away for the next couple of minutes. Whatever he's got to plug or whatever he wants to talk about.

639
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:37,000
If he wants to threaten Gene over the airwaves, whatever he's got, I'm going to give him the airwaves for the next little bit.

640
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:52,000
I don't really want to fire Gene up anymore than he already is. Yeah. We had a big event last week, but we don't need to talk about because we, everybody else is talking about it. Yeah. We don't need to get political. But needless to say, Gene is more fired up than ever.

641
01:21:52,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Besides that, Forward Float Company, come get a break from all the nonsense and distractions for a while. And if you've got physical stuff going on or just need to kind of reset for the week, come do this on a cold plunge too.

642
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:20,000
Yeah, we can attest to that. It is something else. Yeah, I'm definitely going to do it again. For sure. I definitely want to get in the sensory deprivation pod as well. I need to schedule some time for that.

643
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,000
Yeah, do it. It's awesome.

644
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,000
Parker, you've got raised burgers, right?

645
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:34,000
I got raised burgers. I'm there 11 to 3, Monday through Friday, slinging burgers, fries, onion rings. I've also got Philly cheese steaks. I got all kinds of good stuff.

646
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:41,000
I'm working on some secret menu things. I got veggie stuff for all the vegan homies.

647
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Yeah, they're 11 to 3 and then I got a night job doing stuff in the middle of the night too. So come see me, bring me caffeine. I'm showing movies. I don't have Bloodsport on tape, but once I get Bloodsport on VHS, I'll start showing that.

648
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Head up, Jordan. He's got so much VHS for you.

649
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:13,000
Yeah, I've got a whole bunch. Actually, I had some friends drop off some tapes to show. So yeah, it's been cool. Come grab a burger, grab a patty melt, come see me. 1945 8th Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas 76110.

650
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Perfect. If you need some lunch, go see Parker at raised burgers. And if you need some shoes, you can find me right down the street at Center. We're over off of Magnolia. We'll be back in there doing some more filming and you'll see that place a little bit more on the YouTube channel.

651
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:39,000
I've got a DJ event. I don't know if let me see. When is this coming out? A week from today? Yeah, so that would be the 23rd?

652
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:57,000
Yeah. Okay, so then this is perfect. If you're listening to this on the 27th, you can come see me DJ through being cool at the Boiled Owl. That's Jason Ferris' event. It's normally him, but he's going to be out of town. He asked me to cover for him.

653
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:17,000
So if you want to come shake your ass and bother me while I'm DJing music, I'll be at the Boiled Owl that night. Usually it's from 10 to 2am. Like I said, I'm at Center pretty much every day if you need to come see me for shoes or any cool gear or anything like that or to give me a high five or anything like that.

654
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:35,000

656
01:24:53,000 --> 01:25:09,000
So thank you for listening to us. Kevin, thank you for having us. It was really a treat to get in that cold plunge. My body feels ready to take on the day. And these donuts have really given me the sugar I need to get my engine going for the day.

to tell of a past.
