00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,000
Yes, this is coming on Mali, third cohost.

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,500
I know you guys are really excited to have me back for the 16th episode, but I've been

6
00:00:20,540 --> 00:00:25,340
out of commission with COVID since Friday, so the timing just didn't work out for me

7
00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:31,420
to come in and record, but I will happily be there for episode 17,

8
00:00:31,420 --> 00:00:32,600
whether you want me to or not.

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:33,680
See you soon.

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,960
Hey guys, it's Brian, AKA Beetle.

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,760
First time caller, long time listener.

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,120
Yeah, I've been getting caught up on recent episodes of the show and I wanted to throw

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,620
out a couple of recommendations for you on the subject of war movies.

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,240
Have you guys seen 1917?

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,860
It's just a cinematic experience all in itself.

16
00:00:54,860 --> 00:01:01,440
It's the whole thing is inspired by how Roger Deakins wanted to approach the film

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,800
with like a one-shot kind of atmosphere throughout the entire thing.

18
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,080
So highly recommend that more so in the space and what you guys were talking about for

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,800
violence and the experience of it.

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,960
Have you seen Sisu?

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,320
S-I-S-U came out in 2022.

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,060
It's a Finnish movie.

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,920
It's like a one man against all story.

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,600
The central theme is just about the term Sisu, which is a Finnish term about resilience

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,600
and strength of will, determination.

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,040
The whole thing could live in like a Tarantino cinematic universe.

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,000
It's very inspired by like that sort of approach.

28
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,360
It could fall right in line with leading chorus bastards, basically.

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,360
And then on another one, you guys recently talked about Jackie Chan movies and Kung Fu

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,560
Hustle and what is it, Shaolin Soccer, also a classic.

31
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:54,720
I think that everything everywhere all at once also falls into that same space and same

32
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,720
category, basically.

33
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,240
Yeah, different different fields, a little bit more dramatic and action focused and a

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,360
little bit less cartoony, but it still has a lot of the over the top comedic elements

35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:07,560
in it.

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,200
I mean, yeah, so there you go, guys.

37
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:10,760
Have a good one.

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,760
Good.

39
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,240
Big trouble, though, pal.

40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,040
I eat pieces of shit like me for breakfast.

41
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,800
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:38,800
No.

43
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:59,600
Rolling, rolling, rolling.

44
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Welcome to Breakfast of Champions Season One, Episode 16.

45
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,760
Sweet 16.

46
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,520
And no Kevin to be found.

47
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:16,800
I know, Kevin's we did promise you a third co-host Kevin episode, but he and his family

48
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,160
got bit by a bug.

49
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,640
Yeah, I guess we'll say that.

50
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:26,600
And but we've got him here in spirit with Hulk Hogan, not Terry, Hulk Hulk Hogan.

51
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,800
It says so on his shirt.

52
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,120
Yeah.

53
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,360
So Hogan 24 conflating some ideas there with that shirt.

54
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,800
But yeah, he's here in spirit.

55
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,720
Kevin and fam rest up, feel better.

56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,680
And we'll get him on just as soon as we possibly can.

57
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,360
So 16 means four months, right?

58
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,160
Technically, it doesn't feel like four months.

59
00:03:52,160 --> 00:04:01,240
No, actually, the start of the podcast coincides almost with my work anniversary at my current job.

60
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,760
Interesting.

61
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,320
So you've been at your current job for a month.

62
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,600
Yeah, like end of August was four months for me.

63
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,520
That's crazy.

64
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,600
Yeah, I think we started the podcast like a week or two after I started there.

65
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,520
That's crazy.

66
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:14,920
Yeah.

67
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:25,360
So if you haven't heard of us before, if somehow some way you just fell into this episode, 16 episodes in just a quick recap.

68
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:32,920
If you've never joined us before, we are a podcast that talks about breakfast foods and combat sports or violence, as we like to say.

69
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,960
We've been reviewing donuts and cereals and restaurants and recipes.

70
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:45,960
We've also been talking a lot about the UFC and lethway and violence that happens in baseball and football.

71
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,680
I'm sorry, baseball and hockey.

72
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,440
Well, where did football come from?

73
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,440
I'm ready for football season.

74
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,360
So check us out.

75
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,080
We're everywhere.

76
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,520
You can find podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, Apple podcasts.

77
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,200
If you'd like to rate, review or subscribe, that helps us out a whole lot.

78
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:11,240
And if you'd like to give us a call and let us know what your favorite episode is or Kevin, if you'd like to call in and let us know why you're not here this morning.

79
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,120
The phone number is 682-294-0101.

80
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,520
Also, we have an email address.

81
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,680
That's breakfastofchampspod at gmail.com.

82
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,880
And we are on social media, believe it or not.

83
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,400
So.

84
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,080
Have you seen my jab daily series I've been doing?

85
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,720
I've been watching them.

86
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:41,040
I've been trying really hard to provide some sort of 10 minute video every single day just to kind of help build up our social medias and kind of get some engagement throughout the week because we only release once a week.

87
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,000
And then it just kind of like falls off the rest of the week.

88
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,360
We have a lot of heavy downloads on Thursday and then like Monday and Tuesday is like nothing.

89
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:55,800
So I've been trying to hop on for at least 10 minutes every day to kind of give a little preview as to what's going to happen on the podcast.

90
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,880
What's been happening and happening in my personal life.

91
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,080
And if you've missed it, you have missed s'mores waffles from Waffle House.

92
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,720
We tried that last night.

93
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,680
A couple of nights ago, we ripped some UFC Blaster packs, got some really cool cards.

94
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,960
We talk just fun stuff, silly stuff.

95
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,680
My kids are in it.

96
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,440
You get to see my house and all my pets and all that stuff like that.

97
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,800
So I know where you live.

98
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,880
I know, right. They're going to come get us.

99
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,600
So it's on TikTok and Instagram right now.

100
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,360
I've been trying to build up the TikTok.

101
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,520
You can't go on live on TikTok unless you have like 100 followers or something like that.

102
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,120
So that means if you're listening to us, go follow us on TikTok.

103
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,360
Yeah, that's what we really need.

104
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,640
We need to pump up the TikTok numbers so we can go live on the TikTok.

105
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:47,760
And then but yeah, if you want to catch us live, we're on Instagram at Breakfast of Champs Pod.

106
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,720
Like I said, I try to go live usually in the evening time, sometimes a little bit earlier,

107
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,560
depending on what we got going on that day.

108
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,920
So I had a funny thing happen after our baseball episode released last week.

109
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:07,560
Go on. So the job that I've been out for four months, working in a movie theater, managing it.

110
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:15,480
And I knew that we had a theater rental last Thursday and I knew the movie, but I didn't think too much of it.

111
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,560
We had the world premiere of a movie called You Gotta Believe.

112
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:30,400
It is a Fort Worth story about the West Side baseball team from 2002 Little League team went to the Little League World Series.

113
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:37,200
The movie stars Luke Wilson and Greg Kinnear telling the story of this team.

114
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,480
We have nine screens. We rented all of them out.

115
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,480
Greg Kinnear, Luke Wilson were there.

116
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:52,480
And since we had a Sandlot moment last week, Patrick Rinna, Ham from the Sandlot is in the movie.

117
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,600
That's crazy. Got to meet him.

118
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,360
Didn't get a chance to tell him about my Sandlot moment, which is probably for the best.

119
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,920
Yeah, no one wants to hear about that.

120
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:09,600
But it was very funny that that morning we released our baseball episode and that night I had actual baseball players and film stars.

121
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,840
Sandlot crossover. Yeah.

122
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,840
So kind of fun happenstance.

123
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,080
Look at you rubbing elbows with the stars.

124
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,200
Yeah, got to ride in an elevator with Luke Wilson and Greg Kinnear.

125
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,000
You took a picture on the red carpet too, right?

126
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,840
Yeah, I took a picture on the red carpet. That was cool.

127
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,720
I love that.

128
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:33,360
Luke Wilson was a real nice guy in the elevator because they put him in the smallest theater.

129
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,960
He's really private.

130
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,000
He comes out immediately and I was like, hey, where are all the people at?

131
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,440
I was like, oh, everybody's upstairs.

132
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,160
The cast of the team is upstairs in the big theater and he's like, take me there.

133
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,360
Greg Kinnear is like, yeah, me too.

134
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,360
And so we're telling him, like, hey, they told us to put you in a small private theater.

135
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,360
And he's like, are they scared I'm going to break my chains and go on a rampage?

136
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,800
Longo smash.

137
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,240
They started like getting down all low.

138
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:06,640
It was a very Wes Anderson moment of like weird reference and weird actions.

139
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,240
But no, it was fun.

140
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,160
The kids who played on the team are all now like they're all a few years younger than me.

141
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,400
I think they're all like early 30s.

142
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,480
And so all those guys were there that the movie is based on.

143
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,960
And the You Got to Believe title was actually term.

144
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:31,040
The term was coined by Tug McGraw, Tim McGraw's dad, who was a picture.

145
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,680
Yeah, he was a picture. Yeah.

146
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:34,880
So I love that.

147
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,880
You got to believe check it out in theaters with Greg Kinnear and Luke Wilson.

148
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,040
Very cool. Fort Worth. I'm so jealous.

149
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,920
Man, that's cool. I love like speaking of like movies and

150
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,680
premieres and just famous people and just being in the presence of like people that have worked

151
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:54,880
really hard on something for a really long time just to see.

152
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:00,960
I mean, that's one thing that I think if you're not a movie fan or a film fan that we kind of take for granted,

153
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:08,800
is just how long it takes to write, produce film and then edit and then actually release a film.

154
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:15,640
It takes years. I mean, I've got a friend who is a producer.

155
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:24,640
He's produced a bunch of really cool movies, but he's been working on his directorial debut, which is a UFC movie.

156
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:30,720
Well, maybe MMA. He is affiliated with the UFC fighter, but MMA broad term.

157
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:36,800
And he's been working on that for six, seven years or more.

158
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,000
We need to get him on the podcast so that we can talk UFC movie stuff.

159
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,640
I'll see what I can do. Yeah.

160
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:50,360
What was I going to say? Oh, what's your favorite Luke Wilson movie outside of Scream 2?

161
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,240
Scream 2 Electric Boogaloo.

162
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,400
He has the minorest role.

163
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,840
I've always been partial to his role in Family Stone. I don't know if you've seen it.

164
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,320
Dude, if you're looking for a holiday movie that will fuck your shit up,

165
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:14,960
that's the one that we watch every year that like it's like heartwarming and fucking wrecking all at one time.

166
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,600
It's got Diane Keaton and the guy that plays coach.

167
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,400
What's that guy's name? Judd. What is that guy's name?

168
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,360
You remember Coach Bald Guy? Oh, the TV show. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

169
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,120
I know. Yeah, I know.

170
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,440
They're the patriarch and matriarch of this huge family.

171
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,520
And Luke Wilson is one of the siblings in the family of Rachel McAdams is in it.

172
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,920
I'm familiar. I don't think I've ever seen it. Dude.

173
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,840
So it's one of like I said, it's one of the hardest movies to watch,

174
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:52,560
especially if you have family members that like may have cancer or are just dealing with like

175
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:59,120
emotional stuff around the holidays. But his character, he's just so like he's a pothead

176
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:05,960
and he's just like freewheeling and fun and funny and just like it almost feels like he's not playing a character.

177
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,160
It's like Luke Wilson just, you know, hanging out. But yeah, maybe it is.

178
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:17,680
I love that movie so much. And it's one of those like people don't really watch it a whole lot or talk about it a whole lot.

179
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:20,120
But I try to watch it. We try to watch it once a year.

180
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:25,320
It's like I said, it's kind of our harder hard watch.

181
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,400
Thanks for joining us. We're here. We're queer. Get used to it.

182
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,320
Well, sometimes you got to feed, find your account.

183
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,640
So that's a little weird. And I'm just kidding.

184
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:42,040
So this week, we kind of wanted to have like Kevin in and we had again,

185
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,880
we always have these big plans of like, we're going to do this.

186
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,080
And then we show up in the morning and we're like, oh, my tummy hurts.

187
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:55,560
And I didn't get home till one. And so today we're kind of just going to shoot the shiz.

188
00:12:55,560 --> 00:13:01,560
We've got some Lucky Charms s'mores cereal to try this morning.

189
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:05,880
I've held on to this box for about a week. Whenever I send you the picture of it, I bought it.

190
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,480
And then it's just been sitting in my pantry and my kids every morning.

191
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,360
You're like, can we have the Lucky Charms s'mores? And I'm like, no, it's for the podcast.

192
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,720
Don't touch my cereal.

193
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,240
They also like it's funny, my kids now I forget I was taking a picture.

194
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:28,400
I was so yesterday, both of my kids wanted me to have lunch with them at school. Nice.

195
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,400
And, you know, my kids, they can never agree on anything.

196
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,320
I've had two different fruits flavored sales.

197
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,240
So they wanted Chick-fil-A and Rhodes wanted Waffle House.

198
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,840
So yesterday during lunch, I got the s'mores waffles from the Waffle House.

199
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:50,480
And I was taking a picture and Rhodes just under his breath goes, it's for the podcast, isn't it?

200
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:56,520
So my kids are like, they're like on the lookout for things that would be cool for the podcast.

201
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:03,640
And they're like fully like, yeah, everybody at home really loves the podcast, likes to contribute to it.

202
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,680
And then like I have to ask Alan, like, do you mind if I go live for 10 minutes?

203
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:11,400
Because like usually I need her help with the kids or like I'm just going to sit, you know,

204
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,520
in their room somewhere and talk to my phone for 10 minutes is just not normal for people our age.

205
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,960
Ten minutes of talking at my phone. I have to do it daily.

206
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:26,880
Yeah. So this week we've got two big things coming up.

207
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:33,000
We've got a fight on Saturday between Gilbert Burns and Sean Brady.

208
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:41,160
I've been teasing that on the jab all week. And like I said, on the job, I think because the sphere is in two weeks

209
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,120
that this card is just not being talked about. People are not really caring.

210
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,120
They're just wrapped up in the drama and the spectacle that is this sphere coming up in a couple of weeks.

211
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,960
So I think we can get into this card a little bit, talk about some of these fighters,

212
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,440
give them their shine this week since this will be released tomorrow before Saturday.

213
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:04,880
And then last night we had a continuation of the Contenders series and Parker hasn't seen episode four,

214
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:12,320
so we're not going to go crazy in depth, but there's just one thing that we just cannot not talk about.

215
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,480
And that's you and EC Durbin. So we'll get into it today.

216
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:23,080
I got, like I said, a few things on the agenda, but mostly it's just going to be like two guys hanging out,

217
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,120
having some coffee. And what do you got?

218
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:31,240
I have Bum Energy. Oh, do you know Chris Bumstead? I don't.

219
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:40,520
OK, Chris Bumstead is a bodybuilder. OK, he is like maybe the best in the world.

220
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:47,280
Oh, and I'm definitely going to quote my misquote because I haven't kept up over the last year,

221
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:54,280
but I believe he has four title for Mr. Olympia titles under his belt.

222
00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:00,120
He is in, I believe, classic physique, which is going to be more like Arnold style.

223
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Like so open bodybuilding is going to be your mass monsters, which those are going to be like just no holds barred.

224
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:14,800
He still has some aesthetic to him. Like he is trying to sculpt his body, not just trying to see how big he can get.

225
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:20,240
So, yeah, this is his line of energy. I've had these before. It is fucking delicious.

226
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:26,000
This is the orange sunrise. I'm a sucker for orange flavored drinks, especially first thing in the morning.

227
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:35,840
Yes, sir. I'm going to crack this crack that let's get some ASMR. Oh, that's pretty good.

228
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:45,200
I like that. Oh, delicious. Sorry, Madison.

229
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:51,040
She probably doesn't listen. I imagine she would call me in a rage if she actually did listen to this podcast.

230
00:16:51,040 --> 00:17:01,680
She'd be like, I hate your podcast. So did you see the jab this week where Gordon Ryan responded to Nicky Rod and all that?

231
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:09,080
I did. Yeah, I wanted to kind of touch circle back on that with you because this that whole last week,

232
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:16,760
the media cycle is really focused on Nicky Rod and his win at CJI and the million dollars that he won.

233
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:23,400
And the fact that the second that he got done winning that million dollars, he put that million dollars up against Gordon Ryan.

234
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,640
He said, I want to fight you for this million dollars.

235
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,880
Gordon didn't respond right away, but then eventually it got the best of him.

236
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:36,920
And he went on this like crazy long rant about what it is that he was.

237
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,960
It must be good to be like, hey, I just won this million dollars. Fuck it.

238
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,440
I'm going to put it up there and challenge somebody. I don't care if I lose it.

239
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,160
Yep. Like he actually challenged.

240
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:53,840
And this is the other thing, too, is I think is really cool about like MMA and UFC in general and grappling and stuff is that

241
00:17:55,040 --> 00:18:01,760
there's so many new fans coming to the sport that you can legit pretend that you've never fought this person before.

242
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,800
And some people would be like, yeah, you never fought.

243
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,400
Nicky Rod has already fought Gordon Ryan twice.

244
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,840
He's lost twice, but he's still putting up a million dollars to fight him this third time.

245
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:19,960
Fuck it. So, yeah, this response is is crazy, crazy unhinged.

246
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:26,760
Basically. I was making the parallel between the fact that John Jones, the quote unquote

247
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,840
goat of the UFC and Gordon Ryan, the quote unquote goat of the grappling world,

248
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,560
are still being drug into these little like little tips.

249
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:43,000
And then they respond with some of the craziest things like since you both have my eggplant emoji in your mouth 24 seven.

250
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,400
It's just crazy. And so Gordon Ryan said he wants to do two matches in one night.

251
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,240
He wants to fight both Nicky Rod and Craig Jones in the same night.

252
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,160
They can either put up half a million each or a million each.

253
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,840
He'll match them, fight them both in the same night.

254
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:08,200
And then he also like went on this long rant about how Nicky Rod doesn't understand taxes

255
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,040
and how when you win a million dollars, you don't actually get a million dollars.

256
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,360
You get like six hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

257
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,040
Yeah, I thought that was funny because Nicky Rod's like a million dollars.

258
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,640
And he's like, you don't have a million dollars because of tax.

259
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,600
Also, I thought this was funny. I didn't mention this in the jab.

260
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,960
It says I've beaten you both a total of five times, including four submissions.

261
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,160
Good luck on that.

262
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,480
Matches will not be left up to the judges, will have minimal ref interference,

263
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,440
and thus there will be no time limit submission only.

264
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,280
Athletes will be required to wear long sleeve rash guards and spats

265
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,280
with a no roll up rule since four people have already accused you of Greece.

266
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,680
Mason, Pena, me and Yuri.

267
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,920
Competition will take place when I'm healthy, if I'm healthy

268
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,920
and on a date and platform that I decide until then.

269
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:00,640
Keep dreaming.

270
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,680
You'll ever be anywhere near my level after beating guys

271
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,400
who can't even make it out of the first day of ADCC.

272
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,840
If you don't respond here or publicly, I take this as a new a no.

273
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,400
And I will not respond after this unless I get a clear yes or no to this response.

274
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,960
I'm not negotiating.

275
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,080
I am the king. You follow my rules or you shut up.

276
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:24,320
And before you bet your new found wealth, make sure you're not going to default

277
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,320
on an IRS payment and end up in jail or homeless,

278
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,000
because only one of us actually has a million dollars to blow.

279
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,960
And we know we all know who that is.

280
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,920
This is mostly a message to Nicky Fraud because we all know Craig's

281
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,920
the ultimate can crusher and wants absolutely nothing to do

282
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,280
with any kind of physical confrontation with me.

283
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,200
Well, at least Craig will be at the Academy helping you prepare for the camp,

284
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,640
just like he did for CJI and ADCC. Oh, wait, dot dot dot dot.

285
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,920
So, I mean, just like a lot of a lot of a lot of a lot of text.

286
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,560
And you're the guy.

287
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,840
You know what I mean?

288
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,800
Don't be like if like Michael Jordan lived in the age of social media

289
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,400
and then like somebody goaded him into like, I'm better than you at basketball.

290
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,640
And then he just goes on this unhinged rant at like two in the morning

291
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,320
and being like, get my dick out of your mouth.

292
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,240
And you're like, wait a minute. Yeah.

293
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,520
Yeah. Same thing happened with John Jones.

294
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,680
I mean, he's he has been building up this fight for two and a half years with Steve

295
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,760
and he's got this little younger guy named Tom Aspinall

296
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,320
that just keeps on keeps on keeps on keeps on.

297
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,760
And John just cannot take it, cannot take it so much so that he is like,

298
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,440
again, get my eggplant emoji out of your mouth.

299
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,840
I don't know what these guys like obsession is with that.

300
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,880
But yeah, I mean, they struggle cuddle for a living.

301
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,320
So true. It's it's a little gay.

302
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,320
No, I'm not going to.

303
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,560
But I like rolling around with the bros, too. But

304
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:03,400
no, I mean, I think that like the Michael Jordan comparison, yes.

305
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:10,160
But I feel like again, basketball being a team sport where MMA

306
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,680
is very much an ego driven sport.

307
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:17,720
These dudes, you got to be a little unhinged to clearly

308
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,480
get in there and do that.

309
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,560
So obviously, the two a.m. rants, you know.

310
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,320
Yeah, it is what it is.

311
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,040
And who knows what else are dabbling in? Correct.

312
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,640
Yeah. I mean, John is our John Jones has already been popped for like prostitutes

313
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,840
and cocaine and P.D.s and all that stuff.

314
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,920
So that guy clearly has.

315
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,120
Have you heard the John Jones story where they came to test him

316
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:45,080
and he hid underneath the octagon? No.

317
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,440
So this is like a couple of years ago, like

318
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,240
John Jones had already like been popped and you saw that was coming around.

319
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,800
And I guess he got word that they were on the way to his gym.

320
00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:02,520
And so he legit hid underneath like the octagon.

321
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,320
He like got underneath it and they like came and they're like, where's John?

322
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,640
We need to test him. And they're like, we don't know.

323
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,520
And he's just like inside the octagon, like underneath the octagon.

324
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,360
Under the octagon, if you want to take my blood and piss.

325
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,440
He had a really great rivalry with Daniel Cormier, who is now a commentator.

326
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,280
We could revisit that in another episode because there was some really like

327
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,960
legendary like shit talk between the two of them.

328
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,000
And one of those things is like Daniel was like, you're on coke, blah, blah, blah,

329
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,440
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and like thinking that was going to be like

330
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,240
a like a downer.

331
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,480
And John Jones' response was like, I yeah, I took coke off of the

332
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,360
yeah, I took coke all weekend long before I beat your ass.

333
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:48,960
He's like, so like like he was like basically admitting like, yeah, I do that stuff

334
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,320
and I can still beat you.

335
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,120
So it's he's kind of a crazy guy.

336
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:56,400
But yeah, as far as like Gordon Ryan, we already know like what his deal is.

337
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,880
He's kind of got like obviously his own brother doesn't fight on his team with him

338
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,680
because of issues. So I just thought it was funny.

339
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,760
I wanted to revisit that because we did talk about that on the gas station

340
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:13,360
Gossip Guys episode where we talked about the ADCC and CJI and the million dollars

341
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:20,720
and all of that stuff. So that million dollars is now put up for $650,000.

342
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,160
Also, last night when I was watching Contender series, do you remember a couple

343
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,480
of weeks ago where they had the two fighters and Dana was like, you guys can come

344
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,240
back in week 10 to rematch.

345
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,000
So last night, they did say on the broadcast that both fighters have agreed to

346
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,960
that week 10 rematch. So here in six weeks, we will get to see the rematch of that

347
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,520
fight, which is crazy because again, Contender series isn't like well known,

348
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,560
well watched, well loved.

349
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,040
I have been enjoying watching the Contender series.

350
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,520
I'd seen a few episodes over the last couple of seasons,

351
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,800
but I have been thoroughly enjoying it.

352
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,680
It's very exciting. It's very fun.

353
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,160
Everything's kind of hazy.

354
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,040
So I may have made this comparison on the previous podcast,

355
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:13,640
but that it does feel kind of like watching like college basketball versus NBA.

356
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,040
For sure. There's so much riding on it.

357
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,920
And I love the passion.

358
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,880
I love how they go in and just leave it all out there or they don't.

359
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,360
Yeah, like they're the fights that are doozies or real doozies.

360
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:33,200
And oh, break the sire.

361
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,320
But yeah, but the you can tell when they're they're in it to win it.

362
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,720
And I love watching those fights.

363
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:46,960
Same. So while we indulge in this lucky charm s'mores cereal that I just poured,

364
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,480
that's what you're hearing me open on the podcast.

365
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,160
The one that I won't ruin the whole episode for you because you haven't seen it.

366
00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:03,160
But like I said, we we have to have to have to talk about this Unisi Dubin lady here.

367
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,200
So her name is Unisi Dubin.

368
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:16,800
She fought Shannon Clark last night and the video package before the fight was very, very heavy on Shannon Clark.

369
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,960
She is a mother of twins.

370
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,480
She's American.

371
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,920
So, I mean, they really focused in on her.

372
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:30,640
They're like, yeah, let's hear the English, you know, the English speaking person and not the person that speaks Spanish.

373
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,360
So it's very heavy video package on Shannon Clark.

374
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:36,000
She was undefeated.

375
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,200
And what was the other thing I was going to say about her?

376
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:46,640
She was undefeated and oh, she was the favorite going into the fight.

377
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:53,440
So they didn't pay much attention to Unisi Dubin story before the fight.

378
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,520
The fight was a minute and 13 long.

379
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,240
It was a quick one.

380
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:10,240
Unisi Dubin had what Dana White and the rest of the matchmakers and the broadcast and everybody else agreed would be the greatest knockout in contender series history.

381
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,480
Absolutely.

382
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:23,320
So eight seasons of what we're talking about, just like these amazing fighters that are doing everything and anything they can to get into the UFC.

383
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,080
She left it all out on the line there last night.

384
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:38,040
She was an plus 800 underdog, meaning if you put a hundred dollars on her to win, you would have got 800 plus your 100 back.

385
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,360
So you would have got almost a thousand dollars just betting a hundred dollars on her.

386
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:43,680
How much is that for taxes?

387
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,640
Six hundred and fifty.

388
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,040
So, yeah, so she was a bet on her.

389
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,680
We we really should have.

390
00:27:51,680 --> 00:28:00,320
Unisi Dubin went into this fight, an underdog, and really came out of this fight the star of the night.

391
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,520
Yeah.

392
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:13,400
She so if you don't want to watch it or if you can't watch it, just so you know how this fight kind of played out, her and Shannon traded some shots and it looked like they were going to stand.

393
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,720
Unisi Dubin was doing this really great move that's kind of advanced.

394
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,920
You see it a lot of high level strikers doing it where you fake the takedown.

395
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,200
You go down almost like you're going to go for a single leg and she touched.

396
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,120
She even touches her opponent's left knee with her hand.

397
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:38,040
But instead of going for the takedown, she goes overhand right and just right on the money.

398
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,760
Knocks starches Shannon Clark.

399
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:40,680
She was out.

400
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:41,360
Her soul.

401
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:47,800
Hold, bro. And what's crazy, too, is that like.

402
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,160
Not only was she was an 800.

403
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:59,320
Point underdog, she came to the United States from Venezuela with not a single dollar in her pocket.

404
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:08,680
So between the translator and Dana, they had they got her story and like Dana gave her a contract before she left the ring.

405
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:17,760
He said, I don't know what else to tell you that we shouldn't even we didn't we don't even need to go to the back and pretend that this is the thing you're in.

406
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:25,240
So as the night developed and she started talking to more reporters and they started getting more for story.

407
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:33,840
Two really interesting things. One, you need to do been had a coach that sexually abused her.

408
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:51,960
And they really brought that to light on the broadcast. And the same thing that we talked about as far as like placing your faith in someone that is like a martial arts instructor or a teacher or any anyone that has any level of like dominance over you in a field or whatever.

409
00:29:51,960 --> 00:30:01,040
That's just like the ultimate betrayal. So she actually didn't fight for two and a half years because she was so affected by the abuse from her coach.

410
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:07,920
So one, she was abused by her coach, taken advantage of, but two, extremely poor coming from Venezuela.

411
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:21,600
Her and her family have literally nothing. She didn't have a I mean, Dana admitted in the post post fight press conference that her coaches and manager was were texting with the UFC saying we can't make it.

412
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:26,920
I'm sorry. We're not going to be there. We just don't have the money to come. We don't even have money to feed ourselves.

413
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,880
And so they had to explain to them like, oh, we give you a per diem, like we'll take care of you or whatever.

414
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:37,040
She gets to Las Vegas and something happens with her per diem and doesn't get it.

415
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:45,760
So not only does she have no money, but now she can't even eat while she's here in the United States because her per diem gets messed up.

416
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:56,160
So the UFC staff all rallied around and all went grocery shopping for her and fed her for the week and basically took care of her.

417
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:04,120
And she came out last night, put on a performance and now she'll never have to worry about money again because she's signed to the UFC.

418
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:11,000
She'll probably get a five five contract, which means guaranteed money for five fights, taking that money back to her family in Venezuela.

419
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,240
I mean, this is literally a life changing experience.

420
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:22,840
And that's what I feel like this show is here for is for stories like hers to get them out there and to change people's lives.

421
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:30,920
Like. You see the people who have dedicated their lives to the sport, who have put so much into it.

422
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:39,400
And when you see them getting it paid back and getting what they've worked so hard for and earning what they deserve is awesome.

423
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:49,160
Yeah, it's it's like it's that same feeling where like, you know, you're you have like this overgrown lawn and then you like just power through and you mow it.

424
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,880
That feeling afterwards of like almost like that instant change.

425
00:31:52,880 --> 00:32:01,480
Like you could see it. And I mean, if you just scroll back up, you can see it in her face, like the joy, elation, the relief.

426
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,280
I mean, she really is the example for what this show is.

427
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,800
I mean, coming from literal, literal nothing, not knowing anything.

428
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:16,720
I mean, even Dana said, I don't know if you can grapple. I don't know if you are a black blooded. It doesn't matter.

429
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,040
It was just that one minute and 19 seconds of pure performance.

430
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:26,320
She starts her opponent. She was extremely humble, extremely grateful, extremely cute.

431
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:34,240
And like I said, this is exactly why we watch the show is for stories like you and you see Duvin coming from literal nothing,

432
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,760
not having any money to even feed herself for the week.

433
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,800
And now she's going to be a star in the USC. I'm excited.

434
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,160
I can't wait to see what's what's going to happen with her.

435
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:54,080
So I'm going to take that out there and let's give these, uh, oh, yeah, these Lucky Charms s'mores a shot here.

436
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:59,200
So I kind of get a bite with. Yeah, I got to get all every little.

437
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:06,520
So I was taking a look at the box and it actually looks like almost like golden grams mixed with chocolate Lucky Charms,

438
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:11,160
oat pieces. And then obviously you've got your marshmallow pieces from the Lucky Charms.

439
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:17,720
Well, have you had the s'more cereal? OK, that's like a staple in my house.

440
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:26,320
It is literally golden grams and marshmallows and Cocoa Puffs all mixed together one bag.

441
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:33,960
We we rotate cereals regularly, like right now we've got strawberry frosted, many wheat and honeycombs at home.

442
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:39,480
And we did we got the stuffed cinnamon toast crunch or what?

443
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:40,840
Oh, yeah. How was that?

444
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:46,800
It went fast. Like one box is like three decent sized bowls.

445
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,320
We loved it. It was a little bit too sweet. Yeah, but it was good.

446
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:56,640
But this is one that is usually in the regular rotation, like every other time we get a bag of s'mores.

447
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,360
That's pretty good. I've like I said, I've not tried it before.

448
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:07,080
I was not sure what to expect, because in your mind, you think Lucky Charms, you have that baseline flavor.

449
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:12,960
But they really nailed the chocolate flavor on the Lucky Charms oat pieces.

450
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,440
That's pretty prevalent throughout. And it's a good mixture.

451
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,440
I enjoy it. Let me try one more bite.

452
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,640
I'd definitely give it five pots of gold.

453
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,840
They're always after me. Lucky Charms.

454
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,200
Oh, here we go. Hey, s'more moment.

455
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:40,680
Mm hmm. I'm such a fan of freeze dried anything.

456
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:46,520
So marshmallows. Candy, anything like that.

457
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,080
Have you looked into buying your own freeze drying machine?

458
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,640
I have. It's so expensive.

459
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,000
They sell them at Ace Hardware. Oh, yeah.

460
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,640
And every time I love Ace Hardware, every time I go and I just stand and stare at them like,

461
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,720
how many bags of candy would I have to sell to break even?

462
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:09,560
I do the math every time. I'm just like, not today.

463
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:15,960
I'm right there with you. I think this is a solid five point two out of six pots of gold.

464
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,320
I would definitely enjoy this milk. Yeah.

465
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,320
You get nice and. Yeah.

466
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,040
Cereal milky. I.

467
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:30,160
Well, I do like it. I think I like the s'mores and the Lucky Charms better on their own.

468
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,680
OK, I have to try the s'more cereal.

469
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,760
I buy it by like I'm a cereal in a bag kind of guy.

470
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,520
More bang for your buck.

471
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,800
So I usually buy like the five pound bag of the s'mores or whatever it is.

472
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,720
It's like the biggest bag you can get. It's like seven bucks.

473
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:48,400
It's just fucking massive.

474
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,640
Do you have one of those plastic containers? Oh, yeah.

475
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,400
Like forgetting Sarah Marshall. Now I have the freshest cereal.

476
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,640
God, I love that movie.

477
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,840
You know, I have had. Three.

478
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:02,320
Three significant others tell me that.

479
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,880
Jason Segal in that movie

480
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,480
reminds them of me. Oh, that's funny.

481
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,960
My my wife and my two exes before her,

482
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,680
one of which I saw the movie in the theater with. Oh, that's a.

483
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,000
Weird aside. Yeah, nice.

484
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Yeah. So if you haven't seen any of the rest of the Contender series,

485
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,360
it lives on ESPN and ESPN plus.

486
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,080
There are four other fights for you to take a look at.

487
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:34,960
Really great ones.

488
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,920
The first fight of the night was so good that Dana White got up out of a seat

489
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,880
and went into the ring to congratulate both fighters.

490
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,240
He wasn't in the bathroom.

491
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:46,160
No, no, no, no. He wasn't taking a leak in that one.

492
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,840
So like I said, check it out.

493
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,400
Catch up. Tell us, you know, who your favorite fighter is.

494
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,160
Tell us how much you enjoyed watching this.

495
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,120
You need to see Dubin get this contract this week

496
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,200
and we will tune in next week to see what they have.

497
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,120
They've got several weeks coming up.

498
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,640
Like I said, if you if you caught that

499
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:12,280
two weeks ago, it's the first fight of the night.

500
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,600
The fighters had a really good like pace and it just it seemed like

501
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,920
one of the fighters won and the judges gave it to the other fighter.

502
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:24,840
And so at the end of it, Dana was like, fight again in week 10.

503
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,440
Give me some time to rest up.

504
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,840
And so that was announced on the broadcast last night that

505
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:33,760
they were actually going to rematch.

506
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,960
So catch that six weeks on week 10.

507
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,280
This weekend, we have a fight night, which means it is a free fight.

508
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,560
You don't have to pay for a pay per view or anything like that.

509
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,600
Just have to have ESPN or ESPN plus.

510
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:49,280
It is going to be a great fight between Gilbert Burns and Sean Brady.

511
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,120
We're going to go down to the bottom of the card,

512
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,720
because we like to start at the bottom.

513
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,920
And try to get some of these names right.

514
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,320
Started from the bottom. Now we're here.

515
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,320
All right. So kicking off the night, we have a featherweight bout

516
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:08,320
between Ziggy Montas from Oscar and Nathan Fletcher.

517
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,760
We have Lithuania versus England.

518
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:12,840
No odds on this fight.

519
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,400
Looks like they're probably going to be making their debuts

520
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,400
or maybe their first or second fight in the UFC.

521
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,640
I like Ziggy Montas's name.

522
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,360
That's a very cool name.

523
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,960
That's kind of where I was going.

524
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:29,280
Ziggy Montas.

525
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,160
Yeah, that's how you say it, right?

526
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,160
I think so.

527
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,440
Yeah, I'm going to go with Ziggy Montas from Oscar just for the name alone.

528
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,440
Yeah.

529
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,080
Nathan Fletcher is a boring name.

530
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,800
Sounds like corn dogs.

531
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:42,800
Corn dogs.

532
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,200
Sounds like England.

533
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,000
All of his food is boiled.

534
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Exactly.

535
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,800
Nathan Fletcher, here's your boiled food.

536
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Next up, we've got a middleweight bout between Andre Petrovski and Dylan Butka.

537
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,400
Now, Dylan Butka has one of those.

538
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,160
Butka Butka.

539
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,160
He has one of those like black and white user submitted photos

540
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,400
that we usually don't pick him.

541
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,000
He also has a really I don't like this man bun on him.

542
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,120
That's a very Prochaska thing.

543
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,120
Super cool.

544
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:20,960
He is a plus 220 underdog as well.

545
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:26,040
So, Broke Boys Betting Club, if you're looking for underdogs to cash in on,

546
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,520
this might be a good one because, like I said, you don't know anything about these two.

547
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,360
Andre Petrovski, Dylan Butka.

548
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,000
Let's go with Dylan just to mix it up.

549
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Okay.

550
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,520
Andre looks scary AF, but I think like Andre looks scary and I don't like Dylan's hair.

551
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,840
I don't either, but I kind of want to like laugh and make money.

552
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:47,840
You know what I mean?

553
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,840
Because if you bet 100, you get 320 back.

554
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,840
All right, let's go with Andre.

555
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:53,840
He's scary looking.

556
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,400
I think if we're second guessing ourselves on who we're going to go.

557
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,400
So we have on the first one, we have Ziga Mantas Ramasca.

558
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,400
Second bout, we're going to go Andre Petrovski, United States.

559
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,160
All right.

560
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:11,160
Next up, we have a women's straw weight belt between Jacqueline Amorim from Brazil.

561
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,160
And then we have Vanessa Demopoulos from the United States.

562
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,160
Brazil, United States.

563
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,160
You usually have a lot of jujitsu and grappling with Brazilians.

564
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,160
I'm not familiar with Vanessa.

565
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,160
I'm not either.

566
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,160
What are we doing here?

567
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,160
Want to go Merica?

568
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,160
If I'll get Merica.

569
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,160
Merica.

570
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,160
Let's go underdog Merica.

571
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,160
Vanessa Demopoulos.

572
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,160
Don't let us down.

573
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:44,160
Next up, we have a featherweight belt between Yi Za and Gabriel Santos.

574
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:51,160
Yi Za has one of those user submitted photos and is also the underdog.

575
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:59,160
Gabriel Santos' head looks so like it looks like a pencil with an eraser.

576
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,160
You know what I mean?

577
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,160
It has that it has like a pencil eraser type situation.

578
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,160
Yeah.

579
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:06,160
Hmm.

580
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:12,160
I mean, we usually don't go with the user submitted photo.

581
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,160
We don't.

582
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:21,160
So do we want to break our own rule and go with Yi or do you want to go with pencil eraser?

583
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:26,160
Hmm.

584
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,160
I think China is a little bit more desperate than Brazil right now.

585
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,160
Absolutely.

586
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,160
So I'm going to go with Yi Za.

587
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,160
Yi or Yi Za.

588
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,160
Yeah.

589
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,160
Yeah.

590
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,160
I feel you on that.

591
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,160
It's definitely going to be a scrappy fight.

592
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,160
Oh, yeah.

593
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,160
Especially featherweights.

594
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,160
They're going to throw caution to the wind.

595
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:45,160
All right.

596
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,160
So Yi Za, you got it, buddy.

597
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,160
Don't let us down.

598
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:54,160
Next up after that, we've got a flyweight belt between Felipe dos Santos and Andre Lima.

599
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,160
Seen both of these fighters fight again.

600
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:04,160
Another like skinny guy like just going to be throwing, throwing, throwing really fast, really hard.

601
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,160
I like Felipe in this fight.

602
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,160
I don't know if you've if you've got a.

603
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,160
I've seen Andre fight.

604
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,160
I have not seen Felipe.

605
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,160
Felipe is a little bit taller, I believe.

606
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,160
Let's see here.

607
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,160
Let's probably get that reach.

608
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:23,160
He's eight one and oh, so he's only lost the once and.

609
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,160
He OK.

610
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,160
So Manel Kopp beat him last year.

611
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,160
OK.

612
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,160
OK.

613
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,160
All right.

614
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,160
So I don't see his stats.

615
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,160
Where are the stats?

616
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,160
I know it right.

617
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,160
Poopy.

618
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,160
Oh, Andre Lima is undefeated.

619
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,160
In his last fights were Reposo and Serbino.

620
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,160
This could be a toss up.

621
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,160
You know, could be a toss up.

622
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:52,160
Oh, here we go.

623
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,160
I think this will be it.

624
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,160
Thinking about it.

625
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,160
Yeah.

626
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,160
So there's our stats.

627
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,160
OK.

628
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,160
Let me just screw up a bit.

629
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,160
Screw screw looks a bit.

630
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,160
So we've got.

631
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,160
Five.

632
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,160
They're both five seven.

633
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,160
So exactly the same height.

634
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,160
I didn't know if you expanded it, it show their full body.

635
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,160
We've been we've been messing up this whole time.

636
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,160
It also gives their reach.

637
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:25,160
We've imagined being one hundred and twenty six pounds grown man.

638
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,160
Dude, I was in elementary school.

639
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,160
I'd have to lose an entire human being to do that.

640
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:33,160
Yeah.

641
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,160
Like sometimes I see like the featherweight and the flyweight.

642
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:43,160
I'm just saying any time I see someone that's my height that weighs under 200 pounds, I'm like, you're disgusting.

643
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,160
Yeah, it's like, I don't know.

644
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:55,160
I if you're a grown man and I know these guys could kick my ass like I know that they could.

645
00:43:55,160 --> 00:44:03,160
But if you're a grown man, an adult man and you're under 200 pounds, you are a prey weight.

646
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:10,160
Next fight up, we've got a featherweight by out between Isaac Dulgarian and Brendan Marat.

647
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,160
Isaac Dulgarian does not have a photo at all.

648
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,160
It is just a silhouette.

649
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:24,160
And there he is two inches shorter and weighs half a pound less and has one each shorter in reach.

650
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,160
OK, I've seen all I need to see.

651
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:31,160
Brendan Marat is going to win this fight.

652
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:36,160
He's going to grab both his demons.

653
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:44,160
And then the main the I guess the highlight fight of the prelims will be Ryan Spann versus Ovens St.

654
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,160
Proulx seen both of these guys fight.

655
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,160
They're both really, really great fighters, light heavyweight.

656
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:53,160
So you're going to be under 225 there for that.

657
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,160
Six foot five.

658
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,160
Yes, sir.

659
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,160
Ryan Spann, I believe former football player.

660
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:03,160
So that's kind of where you get some of that athleticism from Ovens St.

661
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:09,160
Proulx, another one of those fighters that has been in the UFC for a minute.

662
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:10,160
And I've seen a few of his fights.

663
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,160
He's got a few losses on his record.

664
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:14,160
They both do.

665
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:15,160
But Ovens St.

666
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,160
Proulx lost 17 times.

667
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,160
But his last fight was a win.

668
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,160
So you never know.

669
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,160
Man, that's a hard one.

670
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,160
What are your what are your initial thoughts?

671
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,160
I mean, taller guy.

672
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,160
Maybe what?

673
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,160
What?

674
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,160
I've never seen either of these guys fight.

675
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,160
Ryan Spann, how is his grappling?

676
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:44,160
Because again, being a taller guy, those longer levers could work in his.

677
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,160
I think Ovens St.

678
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,160
Proulx has him on the grappling, to be honest.

679
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,160
So.

680
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,160
Oh, and also Ovens St.

681
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,160
Proulx coming from Haiti.

682
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,160
I love it. I love the Haitians.

683
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,160
Yeah.

684
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,160
Let's go over St.

685
00:45:58,160 --> 00:45:59,160
Proulx.

686
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,160
Yeah, he's coming off a win, too.

687
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:02,160
All right.

688
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,160
On to the main card.

689
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,160
We have a lightweight bout with Rong Zhu and Chris Padilla.

690
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:08,160
This is a toss up.

691
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:13,160
No odds here, but we do have China versus the United States.

692
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:17,160
Chris is looking pretty fabulous with that hair.

693
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,160
I mean, it is.

694
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,160
It reminds me of that Prince album cover.

695
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,160
It does.

696
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,160
Yeah.

697
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,160
Like if Prince was ready to fight, which I know he was.

698
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:26,160
But, oh, yeah.

699
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,160
Prince will take any time.

700
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:34,160
I'm liking the titty tattoo on Chris Padilla as well.

701
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,160
Yeah, we normally favor a titty tattoo.

702
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,160
It's the U.S. versus China.

703
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,160
USA, USA.

704
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,160
All right, Chris Padilla, let's do this.

705
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,160
I can already tell you who I'm.

706
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,160
You know, Trevor.

707
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:48,160
Sorry.

708
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,160
It's OK.

709
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,160
Lightweight bout between Trevor Peak and Yanal Ashmoz.

710
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,160
We're going to go with Trevor Peak.

711
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,160
There's no need to discuss this further.

712
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,160
Flyweight bout.

713
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:04,160
Next up, we have Matt Schnell versus Cody Durden, number 11 versus number 15.

714
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,160
And Cody Durden.

715
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,160
Anytime I see the name Durden, I think of Tyler Durden and Fight Club.

716
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:15,160
And he's also the favorite, even though he's ranked lower than Matt Schnell.

717
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:21,160
Matt Schnell has a nice chest of hair, whereas Cody Durden is freshly shaven.

718
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,160
Chest pubes down to his ball fro.

719
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,160
You never know.

720
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,160
I want to go with Durden just because of Fight Club.

721
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,160
That's where I was thinking, too.

722
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:33,160
Let's do it.

723
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:34,160
Cody Durden.

724
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,160
All right.

725
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:36,160
We're getting up there.

726
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:37,160
We've got three more left.

727
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,160
UFC Fight Night.

728
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,160
Don't talk about UFC Fight Night.

729
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:46,160
Featherweight bout between Steve Garcia and Kyle Nelson.

730
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,160
Kyle Nelson has the longest head I've ever seen ever.

731
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:53,160
And I don't know if that's just like that's why he grew his beard out.

732
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,160
What about Steve Garcia's farmer tan?

733
00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:01,160
Yeah, that means he's putting in work on the farm and not in the gym.

734
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,160
So you might have like farm boy strength.

735
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,160
Also, US versus Canada.

736
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:06,160
I'm going with US.

737
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:07,160
Steve Garcia.

738
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,160
It's getting close to UFC Noche.

739
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,160
Don't let us down.

740
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:12,160
All right.

741
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:13,160
Co main event.

742
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,160
We have women's flyweight bout between Jessica Andrage and Natalie Silva.

743
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:24,160
Jessica Andrage, former belt holder, Natalie Silva, newer and up and coming.

744
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,160
I personally feel Jessica Andrage on this one.

745
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,160
She looks mean.

746
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:30,160
She is mean.

747
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,160
She looks mean and is mean.

748
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,160
Let's do it.

749
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,160
I think she has the experience edge in this one.

750
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,160
OK.

751
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,160
And then finally, we have the main event of the evening.

752
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:47,160
We have Gilbert Burns from Brazil versus Sean Brady from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.

753
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:55,160
Gilbert Burns is probably going to be in the Hall of Fame, even though he's never captured a championship.

754
00:48:55,160 --> 00:49:04,160
He is just one of those guys that is a fan favorite who always lays it out on the line and really gives it his all every fight, win, lose or draw.

755
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,160
Sean Brady is a newer fighter.

756
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:08,160
He's only lost once.

757
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:14,160
His current loss is to Bilal Mohammed, who has the belt and their division currently.

758
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:28,160
So you can make a case that he's right up there, you know, bubbling, making his strides, kind of getting into his prime, whereas Gilbert Burns is kind of on the backside of his prime, just kind of slowing down.

759
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,160
Gilbert Burns is going to have the experience and the grappling.

760
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:37,160
Sean Brady has the power, the youth and the fact that he's not been knocked out yet.

761
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:43,160
I want to go. My heart is telling me Gilbert Burns, but my head is telling me Sean Brady.

762
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,160
I'm going Sean Brady just because he's got some sick tats.

763
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,160
Yeah.

764
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,160
Let's go USA.

765
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,160
USA.

766
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,160
Plus, he's from Philly.

767
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,160
You know, if he's from Philly, he's got this.

768
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,160
Yeah, let's do this.

769
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:03,160
So whoever's in charge of putting in our bets, put those bets in for us and let's make some money.

770
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:16,160
And like I said, this card is this coming Saturday, not to be overshadowed by the fact that UFC Noche is coming up quickly right after that.

771
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:17,160
Couple of things.

772
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:23,160
I don't know if you've been following any of the drama via this, this whole thing.

773
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:29,160
So Merab, this guy right here, he's the one that cut himself.

774
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,160
And then Dana White called him like the stupidest.

775
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,160
Basically said it was the stupidest possible thing you could have done.

776
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:44,160
Not only did he do that, but then after his, I guess, the stitches were healed, he just got some regular old like kitchen shears and not like medical shears.

777
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:48,160
And on Instagram started cutting them out of his own eye.

778
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:56,160
And so I think at this point he's just trolling Dana because Dana's like, that's so stupid.

779
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,160
Don't do that.

780
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:02,160
And so he's like, I've just got to double down now and keep on like doing the crazy thing.

781
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:11,160
And the other thing that he did is I guess he went to Mexico over the weekend.

782
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,160
And oh, I saw this.

783
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,160
I saw this.

784
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:21,160
He started like, I guess, pretending to shoot tequila and dancing around like he was drunk.

785
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,160
We're two weeks out from the fight.

786
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:28,160
There's no way that this guy is shooting tequila in Mexico and dancing around.

787
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,160
Stranger things have happened.

788
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:39,160
This is also the same guy who like anytime it rains, no matter where he's at, he goes outside and films himself shadow boxing.

789
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:45,160
So there's definitely a video of him standing outside outside of the UFCP.

790
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:50,160
Like this whole performance institute that's built for making you a better fighter.

791
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,160
He's standing right outside the door in the rain shadow box.

792
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:58,160
And someone has like the POV of like him from behind.

793
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,160
Like, what is going on?

794
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:04,160
It's his movie or just walk on part.

795
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,160
He's he knows what he's doing.

796
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,160
So also.

797
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:17,160
When Sean took the build away from Aljo, Merab was there or when they were about to fight Merab was there.

798
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:22,160
Merab is Aljo's kind of teammate and friend.

799
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:30,160
Sean had on the Thriller jacket, like the red leather zippered Thriller jacket and no shirt.

800
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:36,160
And so whenever he came into the ring to confront Al Jermaine Sterling to build up the hype for the fight they're going to have,

801
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:40,160
he took his jacket off and didn't realize that someone had grabbed it from behind him.

802
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,160
It was Merab. Merab grabbed his jacket and put it on.

803
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:50,160
And then so for the rest of the night, Sean was like, I guess I don't have a shirt or I got to go get my jacket back from Merab.

804
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:59,160
There's all these little like little, little, little, little, little, little things that basically add up to the fact that this is going to be a fun fight to watch if we even make it.

805
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,160
We still got to make it through.

806
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:09,160
So I wanted to talk to you and kind of our audience about kind of like my process through fight weeks,

807
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:19,160
because I think that a lot of times people think that like whenever there's a UFC fight, Saturday is it.

808
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,160
Like everything happens on Saturday. Yeah.

809
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:32,160
So for those of you that may not know what happens during fight week, typically fighters travel on Tuesdays.

810
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:40,160
On Wednesdays, there's usually a press conference and then it's either Wednesday or Thursday.

811
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,160
And then Friday, they have to do a weigh in.

812
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:50,160
And so while all of these things are happening, you can actually stream them live on YouTube.

813
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:58,160
So if you want to see the press conference, all you do during fight week is type in UFC press conference and it'll show you the live event.

814
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,160
You can click on it and it'll notify you when they go live.

815
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:07,160
They usually have like a big first the first press conference they hold.

816
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,160
They usually have like the headliners and a couple of other fighters.

817
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,160
Then they have like a weigh in show in the morning, the morning of the weigh in.

818
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:27,160
And that usually goes for like three or four hours and they have three commentators that do like games and skits and interviews in between the fighters weighing in.

819
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:33,160
So there's a lot of times where during the weigh in show, you'll have like the commentators will be drinking.

820
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,160
So by like the third and fourth hour, they're kind of schwaisty.

821
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,160
And so I feel like what else is there to do?

822
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:48,160
Right. So also during the weigh in show, that's when you actually see the fighters come out and weigh in officially.

823
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:56,160
This is where you kind of get a chance to see what they're going through cut wise when they come out to the scale.

824
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:00,160
Are they full of energy or are they looking like they're decimated?

825
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:05,160
Are they like needing help getting to the scale? Are they struggling cutting weight?

826
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:11,160
We've seen people have to take off cut hair, take off underwear.

827
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,160
It gets really intense during the morning of.

828
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:22,160
And so after all of the contestants weigh in, they usually have a ceremonial weigh in later on that evening.

829
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:29,160
That ceremonial weigh in is also kind of like a quick hit press conference.

830
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:35,160
They come out and they say like, OK, this person is this person, they face them off and then they ask them each one question.

831
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:39,160
And then so you have all these things happening during the week.

832
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:49,160
And when it's a big pay per view fight, there's also something called embedded happening where you have the UFC's behind the scenes cameras going on.

833
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:55,160
And so they release six episodes of embedded before a big pay per view fight.

834
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:56,160
They come out once a day.

835
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,160
They're usually about nine, 10 minutes long.

836
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:07,160
And they really kind of show you like the travel days, what they're eating, you know, how they're warming up.

837
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:18,160
And so some of the things that you see is like the fact that most of these people when they're traveling, they just turn a regular hotel room into their trading room.

838
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:22,160
They just like roll the mats out, push the beds out to the side.

839
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:26,160
It actually just looks like Kevin's house.

840
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:33,160
So it's fun to see like these humongous, like professional athletes and then leading up in their preparation.

841
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:40,160
They're just like sweaty in their rooms with their coaches, you know, rolling around, you know, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

842
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:44,160
Right. So, yeah, it's not just the event that happens on Saturday.

843
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:48,160
There's a lot of things that kind of go on throughout the week.

844
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:56,160
And I know that like on the outside, looking in maybe from the podcast, it seems like it's kind of weird to only talk about the one event a week or whatever.

845
00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:01,160
But there really is stuff that is happening that we constantly are talking about.

846
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,160
There's people pulling out all the time.

847
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,160
There's people that are, you know, fights are being made.

848
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,160
Fights are being broken.

849
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:10,160
People miss way.

850
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,160
People talk shit during press conferences.

851
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,160
Fights are announced during press conferences.

852
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:19,160
So it's just not the one Saturday event.

853
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:24,160
It's kind of something that happens almost every single day through the week during a fight week.

854
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,160
And that's kind of where we get some of our content from.

855
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:34,160
So I know that like I had a friend that was talking to me and they're like, oh, you must do so much preparation for the podcast.

856
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:39,160
And it's true in a sense that like I try to do a little bit of preparation.

857
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:49,160
But for the most part, since I'm already like watching all of this stuff, it just like comes through like social media and like little, you know, interviews and stuff like that.

858
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:56,160
So although it seems like we might do a lot of preparation and we might know a lot about these fighters, we actually kind of don't.

859
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:57,160
I'm coming in.

860
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,160
I'm raw dog and all of this.

861
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:07,160
Yeah, I'm just kind of like what's in my feed and then kind of like reporting that in a more concise way just so we can kind of get everything straight.

862
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,160
So good cereal.

863
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,160
Yeah, no, like I keep munching on it.

864
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:13,160
Yeah.

865
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,160
What else do you have going on this week?

866
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,160
Not a whole lot.

867
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,160
Big movie opening this weekend.

868
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,160
But I do you remember your dreams?

869
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,160
Yes, I usually don't.

870
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:25,160
OK.

871
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:29,160
But this week, I've I remember some dreams from last night.

872
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:30,160
Yeah.

873
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:36,160
The night before, like, well, I say the night, but I slept until like two p.m. yesterday.

874
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,160
And I've been having weird, weird dreams.

875
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:44,160
But the dream that I had last night that I remember is.

876
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,160
I signed up for a professional fight.

877
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,160
OK, I was like, fuck it.

878
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:54,160
I'm not signing up for a professional fight with no training.

879
00:58:54,160 --> 00:59:00,160
I think this all stems from me having guilt from not training for so long.

880
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:10,160
Like I haven't even been lifting weights lately, like once every few weeks, I'll get out and swing some kettlebells, which this is like the longest I've gone in years without any sort of training.

881
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,160
But I haven't done Jiu Jitsu in a couple of years.

882
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:17,160
And so I think it's been on my mind heavily like I can't wait to get back on the mat.

883
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,160
I can't wait to do this.

884
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,160
But yeah, I had a dream last night.

885
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,160
I signed up for a pro fight with no training.

886
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,160
And I was I'd hype myself up.

887
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,160
Fuck, yeah, I'm going in there.

888
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,160
I walk into the cage.

889
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,160
And immediately just like shit my pants, like what the fuck am I doing?

890
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,160
Why am I here?

891
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,160
I don't want to take any leg kicks.

892
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:43,160
Please don't fucking kick my legs.

893
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:44,160
Don't kick my legs.

894
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:49,160
Like that's that is the only thought I remember from the dream is please don't kick my legs.

895
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:50,160
I love that.

896
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:56,160
And then the bell rings and I wake up because my alarm or the bell was my the bell was your alarm.

897
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,160
Yeah. Yeah.

898
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:02,160
But yeah, it's weird because I hardly ever remember dreams.

899
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,160
So two nights in a row.

900
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:09,160
And the dream that I had last night was even weirder.

901
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,160
Less fight like you were there.

902
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,160
Heather was there.

903
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:21,160
Some other it's hazy now because we're so far removed.

904
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:22,160
Sure.

905
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:27,160
But we flew in for UFC event.

906
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:31,160
Like we took the podcast on the road.

907
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,160
Just you saw into the future.

908
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:34,160
Yeah.

909
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,160
The broke boys made some money.

910
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,160
But before the UFC event, we went to an NBA event.

911
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,160
OK.

912
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:54,160
And while we're at the NBA event, I recognize like a friend from high school who is pretty famous now.

913
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:58,160
I'm not going to I'm not going to get into it.

914
01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,160
No names, no names.

915
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:00,160
Yeah.

916
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:04,160
But I like noticed her doing something like with the basketball team on the court.

917
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:08,160
And she was like, you know how they do like the fun halftime games and stuff?

918
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:12,160
Well, she was like choosing people from the crowd to do that.

919
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:17,160
And I yelled her real name, not her famous name.

920
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,160
And she came over and she's like, hey, yeah, come on.

921
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:21,160
And so got me down on the court.

922
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,160
I did like the little game miss lost whatever.

923
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,160
But we end up going and hanging out with her.

924
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,160
And then she's like, oh, yeah, I'm going to the UFC event.

925
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,160
And like so we end up doing all this.

926
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:37,160
And again, I don't remember the point of the dream, but I just remember like this is a friend who I haven't seen.

927
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,160
I'm person and probably like eight years.

928
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:51,160
I haven't even talked to her probably in like two years, but it was just really strange, like having dreams both involving fighting, but also just involving weird stuff.

929
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:52,160
Yeah.

930
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,160
Also never remembering my dreams and remembering these.

931
01:01:55,160 --> 01:02:07,160
So I always want to talk to people about my dreams, mostly because there's something that like I've realized about my dreams.

932
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:12,160
My medicine, like my psychiatric medicine affects my dreams.

933
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,160
And I didn't realize that till this year.

934
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:23,160
So I have this like very vivid, almost like lucid dream that's a recurring dream.

935
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:28,160
And basically, it's like a place that I've built in my mind that I can return to.

936
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:37,160
And once I'm there in my dream, I recognize that I'm in a familiar location and then I can navigate and like it winds up being the same place.

937
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:44,160
And so maybe like three months ago, I was having trouble finding my medication locally.

938
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,160
And so I had to switch over to like a mail order service.

939
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:53,160
And there was like maybe three or four days where I just didn't take my meds.

940
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,160
And so I was definitely coming down.

941
01:02:55,160 --> 01:03:13,160
You know, and so but what was crazy is that every single night that I wasn't on my meds, I had these like crazy, vivid, recurring, like going back to the same place, recognizing people, them, you know, almost like recognizing me going back to that place or whatever.

942
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:25,160
So this last time when I realized what was going on, it was because we were dog sitting at that house and I had forgotten my meds at my house.

943
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:29,160
And so I had two nights in a row where I didn't take my medicine.

944
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:39,160
And I immediately whenever I go to my, you know, into my dreams, I'm back at that place from a few months ago, the same like place that my brain is built.

945
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:44,160
And this time I remember like, oh, don't forget this.

946
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:57,160
And so I start like before I zap out of the dream, I like because I know where everything's at, found like the family photo albums and stuffed three of them in my shirt and was like, all right, I'm out, guys.

947
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,160
And like left the dream.

948
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:06,160
So as soon as like I come out of the dream, I start saying like in my mind and in my head, it's like, oh, it's the medicine.

949
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:07,160
It's the medicine.

950
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:13,160
And so I was talking to Phil about it and like I was kind of like sussing it out.

951
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:29,160
And it's like, I think what this place is, is like kind of like like my Akashic Records family almost were like these people know me and I know them, but it's because I was them at one point in time.

952
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:39,160
And so the photo albums that I took, they were just pictures of me at different points in time and like relation to I was this person.

953
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,160
And that was my life that I had.

954
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:51,160
And so it's one of those things where like, I don't know, like what you believe in as far as like what the point is of like existence and the fact that like we're all interconnected or whatever.

955
01:04:51,160 --> 01:05:00,160
But like just like being able to go to a place where I'm like, oh, this is like all the rest of like my souls throughout time.

956
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:05,160
And so I can only get there if I stop taking my medicine.

957
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:06,160
That's tricky.

958
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:07,160
Yeah.

959
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,160
Have you read Journey of Souls?

960
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:10,160
No.

961
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:11,160
You should check that out.

962
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:12,160
I will.

963
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:18,160
It's all about like how we're reincarnated throughout every life.

964
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:20,160
Yeah.

965
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:24,160
It's been around, I want to say it was written in the 60s or early 70s.

966
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:28,160
Super interesting book.

967
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:32,160
Some people have tried to disprove it and there's some pretty good cases against it.

968
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:33,160
Sure.

969
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:41,160
But there's so many case studies in it that are so similar and the people didn't talk, they didn't know each other.

970
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,160
And it's all under hypnosis.

971
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:47,160
It's super, super interesting and worth checking out.

972
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,160
I would love to be hypnotized.

973
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,160
I don't want to be hypnotized.

974
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:58,160
I do just because I feel like I do such a good job at recreating and explaining all of my dreams as it is right now.

975
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:09,160
Like I can really remember my dreams and really kind of like if I had a good enough like working knowledge of like CAD, I could probably like give you a 3D replica of like what everything is.

976
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:11,160
Buildings of Minecraft.

977
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,160
Or Fortnite.

978
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:24,160
But yeah, so the band that I was kind of like starting and after Unspell like kind of now is called Mall Dreams.

979
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:38,160
Because the one place that like I can always like talk about and reconstruct and tell people about is like there's definitely a mall in my brain that has like a very specific layout.

980
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:53,160
And like there'll be times where like I go to the mall, we're driving around the mall or whatever and it is the same mall like escalators like and it's probably just an amalgamation of malls that I've been in before like childhood malls.

981
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:56,160
I mean my first job ever was in a mall.

982
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,160
Was that Huland Malls.

983
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:04,160
But I started thinking about it and it's like our kids are not really going to have the same experience with malls that we did.

984
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:05,160
False.

985
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:06,160
Yeah.

986
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,160
I take my kids to the mall every chance I get.

987
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,160
They're not the same.

988
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:12,160
It is but it isn't.

989
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:13,160
Yeah.

990
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:17,160
I mean Aidan is about to be 15.

991
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:22,160
Last year he spent a lot of like I would just drop him off at the mall with his friends and then hang out there for a few hours.

992
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:23,160
Yeah.

993
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,160
Ava is constantly she's 10.

994
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:26,160
She's constantly, let's go to the mall.

995
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:27,160
Take me.

996
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:28,160
I want to go shopping at the mall.

997
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,160
Yeah.

998
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:37,160
Also like a lot of my growing up a lot of my favorite memories happened at malls and movie theaters.

999
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:40,160
Video rental stores.

1000
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,160
Aidan I took Aidan to rent videos when he was a kid.

1001
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,160
Ava went but she was too little to remember.

1002
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,160
The last time she was two or three.

1003
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:53,160
So she doesn't remember but Aidan remembers renting videos and I know kids who are in their 20s who.

1004
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:54,160
Yeah.

1005
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:58,160
Never been to a blockbuster any sort of video rental place.

1006
01:07:58,160 --> 01:07:59,160
Sucky life.

1007
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:00,160
Yeah.

1008
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:06,160
But but no like I my first job was at a movie theater at a mall.

1009
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:10,160
My second job was at that same mall.

1010
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,160
I worked at two video rental stores.

1011
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,160
I'm back working in a movie theater.

1012
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:15,160
Yeah.

1013
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,160
No I live in your childhood dreams.

1014
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:18,160
Yeah.

1015
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:20,160
I mean I've come full circle 20 years ago.

1016
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:24,160
First job was a movie theater and here I am.

1017
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:33,160
I think about that all the time like if you told 18 year old Renee like at 41 or 40 you're not going to have like a real quote unquote job.

1018
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:37,160
You're still going to be like trying to pursue creative endeavors.

1019
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:43,160
You're still going to be like loving sneakers and bands and sports and stuff.

1020
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:58,160
I think that's the thing that I've realized in as I've gotten older is all of the stuff that I loved when I was younger I still love and I've just kind of found ways to make them keep working in my life.

1021
01:08:58,160 --> 01:08:59,160
Yeah.

1022
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:04,160
And then I care less about what other people think is like from when I was younger.

1023
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:06,160
What's up Greg.

1024
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:10,160
It's a Ben and Keith driver.

1025
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:20,160
But yeah no I mean I when I was like 18 working at the movie theater I worked at the movie theater and Virgin Megastore at the same time.

1026
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,160
You had the media on lock.

1027
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:23,160
Yeah.

1028
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,160
And then I quit the movie theater to go full time at Virgin Megastore.

1029
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:40,160
But I I remember as a teenager telling my dad I would rather flip burgers for the rest of my life than have like a corporate desk job.

1030
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:45,160
Yeah. And I've had a couple corporate desk jobs and they kind of sucked.

1031
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:55,160
Yeah. They don't feel fulfilling and I have to be moving and going and I can't just sit still like yes I I can sit down and do spreadsheets and do all that stuff.

1032
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,160
But I need a balance of sure cool.

1033
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,160
Hey I did two hours of computer work.

1034
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:04,160
Now I'm going to go cook some food or I'm going to go run around and do something.

1035
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,160
I need that stimulation.

1036
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:15,160
And also and this is a weird thing to say especially looking back like telling younger me this I enjoy customer interactions.

1037
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:26,160
I enjoy being in customer service and like talking with people getting to be part of their like special moments and those memories that they're making like with the movie theater.

1038
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:34,160
Some of my favorite memories with my family growing up and now with my kids have happened going to the movies for sure.

1039
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:40,160
So getting to be a part of that and making sure that these people are having a good time and like being well taken care of.

1040
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:52,160
Same with like food service cooking food getting to see people get excited about what they're eating and share it with people that they care about.

1041
01:10:52,160 --> 01:11:03,160
It's really weird because again I never thought I'd be that person that's like man I really love like seeing people happy and giving good customer service.

1042
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:11,160
I'm the exact same way I told my mom my dad everybody that I knew like girlfriends growing up I'm like I'm never having kids.

1043
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:13,160
I'm going to be George Clooney for life.

1044
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:18,160
I also I think I was one of the first things I ever told Heather is like never get married.

1045
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,160
I'm never having kids.

1046
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:24,160
And her response was challenge accepted.

1047
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:28,160
Yeah now I've got four kids and I teach kids once a week.

1048
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:43,160
So clearly especially if you're a younger person like don't set any hard and fast boundaries for your life because some things are going to change and you're going to feel completely 100 percent different than you felt when you were 18 19 years old.

1049
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:55,160
But some things that don't have to change are like continuing to pursue your passions finding joy in things that other people may find silly or not worth their time.

1050
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:56,160
That's kind of what sports are for me.

1051
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,160
It's like I like being a nerd and like you know what I mean.

1052
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:05,160
Like there's not a whole lot of people that are out there watching UFC like to the level.

1053
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:09,160
I so I have a hard time keeping up with sports.

1054
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:13,160
Yeah same with TV shows like I am very much you put a movie on.

1055
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,160
I can watch movie.

1056
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,160
I can read about the director of the cast.

1057
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,160
I can give you facts about that.

1058
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:38,160
But if it is an ongoing long term thing whether it's a 10 season TV show or a full sports season I got a couple in me and then I'm like all right cool I'll tune in I'll catch the highlights but I when it's long form I have such a hard time keeping

1059
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:39,160
sure.

1060
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:40,160
Yeah.

1061
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:57,160
So that's kind of the exercise and this for me too is like I don't want to do the jab every single day there is like for me I feel like I don't have anything to talk about I'm not talking to anyone I'm not really doing anything I'm just kind of attempting to make something be consistent

1062
01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:11,160
and I think that looking back on the 16 episodes that we've done I think that that's one thing that you and I have like kind of grown past of like pushing past like I don't want to do this and then we just do it anyway and then it winds up being usually OK.

1063
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:26,160
That's that's something the podcast has taught me because like I'm a I'm a huge like I don't feel good I want to do it you know what I mean I I like to push through my uncomfortable situations.

1064
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:30,160
Riding my bike up here while my tummy hurts.

1065
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:43,160
But no like I that's something else that as I've grown I've realized I like to sit in the discomfort because I learned more about myself by doing things when I don't want to do them.

1066
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,160
I'll let you sit in my discomfort.

1067
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:47,160
So you can learn for me.

1068
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:59,160
The ice bath. Yeah. Sitting in that discomfort and realizing hey this really isn't that bad like it sucks momentarily but in the grand scheme of things it's not that bad.

1069
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:13,160
It wasn't. And you know you can do that with your job with shit that's going on in your personal life like being able to be like man this sucks right now but it isn't forever it's momentary and it will pass.

1070
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:26,160
And you know going to the gym doing that like starting like oh hey I'm going to go check out jujitsu I've never rolled on the mats before.

1071
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:36,160
Man this sucks this is uncomfortable. Yeah. But you sit in it and you keep doing it and it gets less uncomfortable until you learn something new and you start all over again.

1072
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:46,160
But but yeah I think that's one of my big things that I've realized about myself is I like the discomfort because I learned so much from it.

1073
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:54,160
I agree with you there. I am not at that point in my life I can be honest enough with you to tell you that I'm not at that point in my life.

1074
01:14:54,160 --> 01:15:03,160
I'm a big avoider of discomfort. I mean it depends on the day for me some days I'm just like fuck I'm going back to bed.

1075
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:11,160
But I I always try to at least push through as much as I can. Yeah.

1076
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:17,160
So we've been going for about one hour and 13 minutes so we're going to wrap up here shortly.

1077
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:27,160
I just was looking quickly at Twitter because something that I saw and I wanted to like I thought we already did this.

1078
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:39,160
Do you remember when Draco's fought and he beat Israel out of Sonia and then immediately Alex prayer posted a picture of himself and was like I'm going to come get that belt back.

1079
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:51,160
Well yesterday he posted the exact same picture with almost the exact same message and the MMA media treated it as if it was brand new information.

1080
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:57,160
And I was just like wait we you and I we saw that like I sent it to you.

1081
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:05,160
It already happened. But yesterday it bubbled back up as if like it was brand new information.

1082
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:11,160
And so I'm just like I went back to kind of see like what the deal is with that.

1083
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:23,160
And I guess basically the only difference between the posts are he is definitively saying that no matter if he wins or loses versus Khalil roundtree he's coming back down.

1084
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:28,160
But it's not as if he didn't float that idea out the night that Drake has won to begin with.

1085
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:36,160
So there's a couple of different like war of words that are happening right now.

1086
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:41,160
He basically put out that that picture said I'm going to come back down.

1087
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:49,160
No excuses blah blah blah blah. And then Drake is immediately diverting was like you and Sean Strickland can have a domestic dispute over who gets slept first.

1088
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:53,160
And so Drake is like I guess said that he would fight him.

1089
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:58,160
And then the second that Alex made a definitive statement that he is coming back down to fight him.

1090
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:03,160
He's like now you got to fight Sean Strickland first to see who's going to fight me.

1091
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:15,160
So I don't know is really weird. It made me feel like a little bit of deja vu yesterday as far as like when I was taking a look at my feet and like I mean the picture is exactly the same picture.

1092
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:25,160
He didn't even use like a different picture. And so I was just kind of confused as to why like the MMA media and like fans in general were like.

1093
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,160
So it's the exact same picture. Oh weird.

1094
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:33,160
And the one that I sent you of him sitting in front of him wearing watching him win.

1095
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:37,160
And he just says you know no matter what he's going to go back down one more time for the belt.

1096
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:43,160
Hey Drake has bring your will to fight me so you can prove that you are better than me with your public statement.

1097
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:53,160
It is easy to make this happen. Shama. So again I just was like confused as to why we're like revisiting this idea as more like definitively.

1098
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:59,160
And then they made media acting like this is new information. So that's an interesting thing.

1099
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:15,160
Alex prayers the current belt holder at two or five. He was the belt holder at one eighty five after defeating Israel Adesanya is he got his belt back then lost it to drink is drink is has it are actually sorry is he got his belt back lost it to Sean Strickland Sean Strickland lost it to drink is drink is has it now.

1100
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:26,160
They're kind of deciding like what to do with that division. I was really hoping that Alex prayer would move up to heavyweight and get that third belt and the third division.

1101
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:35,160
But apparently he's taking this Drake is fight way more personally slash seriously and is going to go back down to one eighty five one more time.

1102
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:41,160
Don't understand that. Don't understand why it was like pre weight. Yeah.

1103
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:53,160
Please don't hurt me. One leg kick from Alex Perera for real. I don't ever want to take a leg kick. I love that. That's what you were dreaming about. You're just like please don't kick my legs.

1104
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:57,160
You can punch me in the face as much as you want. Just please don't kick me in the legs.

1105
01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:14,160
Fush out. Fush out. Let's see here. Just quickly taking a look. I think we're good to go. Yeah we should be good. I was taking a look at my messages that I sent back and forth to you and also to champions because like I'm like oh yeah don't forget this.

1106
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:25,160
Don't forget this. I thought there was one thing I got a breakfast thing I've been doing lately. What you got. It's real simple super simple and it's been hitting the spot for me.

1107
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:39,160
Let's hear it. A little bit of jasmine rice and then a fried egg on top. Like over medium hit it with a little bit of like flaky salt a little bit of olive oil. Perfect. That sounds really good.

1108
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:51,160
You don't typically get rice for breakfast around these parts. That's more of like a Japanese situation. I've been trying to eat super simple lately.

1109
01:19:51,160 --> 01:20:08,160
And so I've been eating a lot of rice and that has for breakfast that's been like nailing it for me. Interesting. There was there is a Hispanic I guess dish that my mom made a lot whenever I was a kid with the leftover rice.

1110
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:19,160
It was a rose one leche. Have you ever had that. Yeah it's really good. If you ever have a leftover white rice just put some milk and some cinnamon brown sugar and stir that bad boy up.

1111
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:34,160
It's kind of like a porridge rice porridge. My dad used to do that when I was a kid. If we'd have leftover rice usually not cinnamon usually just sugar milk and rice. Yeah. Microwave it for like 30 seconds or a minute. Good to go. So good.

1112
01:20:34,160 --> 01:21:02,160
