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

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

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

4
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Welcome to Breakfast of Champions Season 1 Episode 18.

5
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,000
I don't know if the last episode counts as an episode as much as it was just a...

6
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Oh, the livestream. Yeah.

7
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Yeah, that was... yeah.

8
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:12,000
But I don't know. I have mixed emotions about UFC Noche.

9
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Same. There's a lot of things to talk about there for sure.

10
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Welcome to Breakfast of Champions. We are a podcast about breakfast foods and violence slash combat sports.

11
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:34,000
We obviously just mentioned UFC. So if you've never heard this podcast before, we kind of delve into a little bit of everything,

12
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
but combat sports, meaning sports like UFC or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu slash grappling,

13
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000
or we even take a look at other sports that have violent incidents in them as well.

14
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Yes.

15
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:57,000
As always, if you need to holler at us, 682-294-0101 and breakfastofchampspot.gmail.com,

16
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000
we've been blowing up Instagram and TikTok with the jab and it's going relatively well.

17
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
We've gotten some good feedback on that and it's fun. I get to do it with my kids, ripping cards and trying waffles.

18
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
And yesterday I was sitting out in the sun just sweating my face off.

19
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Oh yeah, I was at work and one of my coworkers was like, hey, you guys are live right now.

20
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000
And like, started watching the feed and was like, I'm going to tell them Parker says, what's up?

21
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Yeah, I saw that. I was like, what's up?

22
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,000
So yeah, we last talked about on the live stream. If you caught us, that was kind of an ordeal.

23
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:45,000
So just a little behind the scenes drama. So we're new to podcasting.

24
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:55,000
We're not new to social media, but we're kind of new to like trying to attract a certain demographic of people.

25
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Usually with a band, you're just like a wide net, like listen to the music, like it or don't.

26
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
But like with a podcast, it's really hard to get people to invest like 90 minutes a week or like a four hour live stream.

27
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Yeah. And the fact that we had like five people on there at one point was honestly impressive to me.

28
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Me too. So what we've been doing is trying to find a good way to go live without having to like pay for followers or like do anything extra out of our pocket.

29
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Because we kind of already do way more than anybody probably knows as far as like production or like buying equipment or buying breakfast or how much time we talk about like what it is that we're doing.

30
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:48,000
So we finally got enough YouTube subscribers to go live, which is nice.

31
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,000
It was basically I just put a call out there to everybody on social media that was on my personal social media.

32
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And I was like, look, we've got eight subscribers. We need 50. And within two days, we hit that 50 mark, which was amazing.

33
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
It just kind of took a relief or like, OK, we can go live on YouTube and have a fight companion.

34
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:16,000
But the crazy thing is like the mobile app and the desktop iOS are just completely different.

35
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
They don't talk to each other and there's no real way to contact anybody at YouTube.

36
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,000
So every time I would hit the live button on my mobile phone, it was like, you don't have 50 subscribers.

37
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
And I'm like, but I do all my friends subscribe.

38
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
I know Tad was number 51. That's what's up. Thank you, Tad.

39
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:49,000
So long story short, instead of using my mobile phone that shoots 4K video and is like extremely portable and like light, I brought everything I own computer wise up here.

40
00:04:49,000 --> 00:05:01,000
And so what you guys didn't see is like the hauling of a second TV and a couple of tables and chairs and an entire desktop computer and all of that stuff.

41
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,000
And then trying to make all of our microphones talk to each other and make that live.

42
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
And so there is a little bit of stuff that goes into it.

43
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
And so just thank you for those people that allowed us to do this.

44
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:18,000
We're kind of learning on the fly the very next day after Noche USC, the mobile app allowed me to go live.

45
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
So it's like, haha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

46
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:35,000
So yeah, we've got some cool things planned as far as like, you know, what we're going to do going live going forward and a little bit more focused than just watching straight four hours of TV.

47
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
And you guys watching us watch four hours of TV, which I mean, isn't that what YouTube's for?

48
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Yeah, for sure.

49
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
To be voyeuristic and watch people do things.

50
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Agreed, agreed.

51
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:55,000
So thank you for any of you that tuned into Noche USC, I know your lady tuned in, my lady tuned in, Brian tuned in.

52
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
You know, just thank you.

53
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
A tad. Yeah, pretty sure.

54
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
So we've got some friends that are diehards that tuned in to us.

55
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
And we just want to say a huge shout out.

56
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Huge thank you because, you know, it would feel really shitty to sit there and talk to zero people for four hours.

57
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
The Baja Blaster did not tune in.

58
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Oh, what a bitch.

59
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000
I think he I think he was working the whole time.

60
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Well, he'll catch it on all four hours of it later.

61
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Yeah, I mean, it's it lives in perpetuity on YouTube.

62
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:31,000
So if you want to see Parker at a Trump meeting, you think, oh, man, that's my new favorite shirt.

63
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
I almost wore it up here today.

64
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
That's hilarious.

65
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Parker surprised me this morning with a little gift bag of breakfast. We didn't really talk about anything today for today's breakfast segment.

66
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:53,000
But he walked in with this huge sack of tacos and glass bottled coffee lattes.

67
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
So thank you. So this is what you got.

68
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Yeah. So we got cafecito, which is a little spot here in Fort Worth.

69
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Start as a food truck. Now they got a little brick and mortar in the Fort Worth.

70
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000
What is it? Food Hall, I think is what it's called. Yep. Over here on Eighth Avenue.

71
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,000
And this came highly recommended by our friend Joe from Panther City Palate.

72
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Go follow him on Instagram. We also need to get that dude on the show.

73
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
He knows a thing or two about breakfast, food and violence.

74
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
I've seen him do his judo throws and jiu-jitsu class. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

75
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000
So he had been talking this place up and so we're finally trying it.

76
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:44,000
We got some potato and egg tacos and we've also got egg and chorizo tacos with a breakfast taco.

77
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Are you a corn tortilla guy or a flour tortilla guy? I like a flour tortilla on a breakfast taco only.

78
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,000
I'm the same way. Corn tortillas go on regular tacos.

79
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,000
I went corn tortilla with these because cafecito is known for their pink corn tortillas.

80
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000
That's right. That's right. So these are corn tortillas instead of flour.

81
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Interesting. OK. And then we also got the cold brew, which is cafecito, but Ostara coffee roasters from here in Fort Worth are the ones who make it.

82
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000
And they put it in a glass bottle. So reusable. It's cute looking.

83
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,000
It's dairy free and it's got like some brown sugar and cinnamon and vanilla. It's really good.

84
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Yeah, I'm super excited to dive into all of this.

85
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,000
And then we've also got green salsa and looks like an orange salsa, so maybe a habanero. Nuclear. Yeah.

86
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:43,000
I don't know. I'm excited about it. Fall out for salsa. I went to bed at 330 hungry and I woke up at 8 hungry.

87
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Oh, I caught it. Good catch. We're athletes.

88
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
I just opened up and tried the latte while Parker's unpacking that taco.

89
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Normally, I'm not a huge fan of a bottled mixed drink.

90
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:04,000
I think Starbucks kind of cornered the game slash ruined it for everybody with like frappuccinos in a bottle or whatever.

91
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000
But this is super tasty. The coffee flavor is pronounced.

92
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:19,000
It's not super sweet. And like Parker said, it is dairy free. So there's not a whole lot of like feeling dairy lack lactic acid going on in there.

93
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
It's just some oat milk and some spices and some vanilla.

94
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000
It does have sort of that Hispanic coffee flavor to it.

95
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,000
That Latino coffee flavor that has like the cinnamon and brown sugar type of a flavor to it.

96
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
But the flavors are really balanced as well.

97
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Like coffee, very good for the morning time.

98
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000
I would definitely have that in the morning. It's so good.

99
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Yeah, that that is solid as fuck. Everything that Renee said.

100
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Very true. Yeah.

101
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
So this this is like Fort Worth local everything.

102
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Yeah, I'm excited to try these tacos.

103
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
So you're about to start a coffee journey yourself.

104
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
I am. I am going from working late, late nights to early mornings.

105
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:20,000
And I have I've never worked in coffee like fully like everyone around me has.

106
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Everyone in unspell worked at Avocad.

107
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
My wife worked at Avocad.

108
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000
All of my friends have worked in coffee.

109
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,000
When I was at Spiral, you know, we had a few different espresso machines.

110
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:42,000
We had a probably my favorite that we had was this like little Lamar's a co espresso machine.

111
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
And I love using that.

112
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
So it was all manual and all that.

113
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:54,000
So but now I'm going to the dark side, the dark side of coffee, the dark roast of coffee.

114
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
But they made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

115
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Yeah, you got to join the dark side sometimes.

116
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
But yes, that's gorilla.

117
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Got to do what you got to do. Take care of your family, man.

118
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Yeah. So everything you're about to go through, I've already done.

119
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000
So that's why I'm kind of like, I'm just like, I remember that.

120
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:21,000
I remember that. And so I was just thinking about like some tips to like if you ever go through the dark side of coffee,

121
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:28,000
it's to like if you ever go through the quote unquote black apron ceremony.

122
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Oh, I've got some tips for you on that.

123
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,000
So basically, you're going to have to learn as much as you can about coffee.

124
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000
But there is some certain like ways that you can pair coffee.

125
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
And one of my favorite ways that this is a little insider baseball.

126
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
If anybody wants to, this is really super nerdy.

127
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
I like the nerdy shit.

128
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:59,000
A lot of times what people do whenever they go through their black apron ceremony is they pick things that are at the store

129
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
so they don't have to like go out of their way to prepare a fix.

130
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Because one of the tests, quote unquote, that you're doing whenever you're going through the ceremony is you're picking out a certain coffee

131
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
and presenting it to others and then you're telling them about the coffee.

132
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:19,000
And then to show that you understand that coffee, you're going to prepare some sort of pairing.

133
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:27,000
And so go out of your way to like have fun with those pairings because a lot of the times.

134
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
I know I know you. I know. I know. Yeah, that's what I mean.

135
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
That's what I know is going to be fun for you.

136
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000
I love doing that shit.

137
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:44,000
One time I paired like this one coffee, I actually roasted nuts and some vegetables

138
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,000
and olive oil and different spices that were hitting some of the tasting notes in the coffee.

139
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
And that whenever I went through my ceremony, they were like,

140
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,000
this is the first time someone didn't just bring like a lemon pound cake and like pair it with like, you know what I mean?

141
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:07,000
So like just I just know like my very first job ever, ever in time was at the coffee beanery inside the Hulin mall.

142
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Yeah. And then I worked at Starbucks for six years and then I worked at a Voka for four years.

143
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,000
And then I worked at Gold Tree Coffee for about a year and a half.

144
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:26,000
So everything that you're about to do, like I just I'm kind of like jealous that you're getting to do it all over again.

145
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Because like, you know, after you've done it for so many years, like you could ask anybody about a Voka, like you get like bitter and kind of like burnt out and kind of, you know, you're like over.

146
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:48,000
But like that first part of falling in love with coffee and like learning about the different methods and farms and like being able to like dial in coffee and taste it properly.

147
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,000
And I just that's it's fun. It's super exciting for you.

148
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,000
This coffee is really great use Ostara that is over off Broadway here in Fort Worth.

149
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,000
So like you said, we like to champion the small and we also like to champion the local.

150
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,000
And so if you're over off Broadway, that's where Ostara Coffee Roasters is.

151
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:17,000
And Caffe Cito is over here over off of the corner of like, let's say Magnolia and in between Magnolia and Rosedale and eight.

152
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,000
It's right next to the hot yoga studio and Chiba.

153
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:32,000
I hit it right as a hot yoga studio was filling up lots of lots of moms, moms and Teslas that don't know how parking lots work.

154
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Shout out, shout out. Let your Tesla drive for you, please. Man, that's good. It's really good.

155
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Also, I'm pretty sure Etter works there or did work there.

156
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
I think others worked at every coffee shop. Yeah, I think he like picks up shifts or I don't know.

157
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:57,000
I haven't talked to him in depth about it. But but yeah, another Etter touched his coffee and said, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised with how good it is.

158
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Yeah. Let's see here. I've got a papas con huevo and I've also got a nondescript.

159
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:13,000
So that should be the trees. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and take a dive in. Yeah, go for it.

160
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:23,000
They also have acai bowls. They've got a bunch of different ones to choose from, some that are just like fruit bowls with protein powder and all kinds of other stuff.

161
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:31,000
So, yeah, they're a little picture. Yeah, they have a very large menu of their open.

162
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:38,000
What are their hours? I just looked at it, but I want to say it was like six to three years and then they close kind of early.

163
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,000
But they've got lots of breakfast stuff, lots of lunch stuff.

164
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Honestly, it was kind of hard placing this order because I wanted to order everything.

165
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:58,000
So I was on the fence about doing Teresa because sometimes trees can be really good and sometimes it's kind of OK.

166
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000
It's sometimes a little too heavy. The only time I don't like Jody.

167
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:10,000
So is whenever it's like super greasy and you haven't like had enough eggs to stop the grease and stuff. And it's just like sitting in its own.

168
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
And that's sometimes just too much for me in the morning. So like.

169
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000
But again, this came so highly recommended, like I got to got to go for it.

170
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,000
First bite. You put some salsa verde on that.

171
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Good. Thoughts as with a mouthful.

172
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
That is a solid, solid breakfast taco.

173
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:44,000
The first thing I can taste is that that is a homemade tortilla for sure.

174
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:54,000
There's nothing quite like the taste of a homemade tortilla, especially fresh in the morning, just that hint of corn that hits you right off the top with that tortilla.

175
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
This also has potato and egg in it as well.

176
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
So I thought I thought I took a bite of the wrong one. I was like, hey, wait a minute.

177
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000
I thought this was supposed to have to be so this takes some time to develop flavor wise.

178
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
At first, you're just like, hmm, that's plain.

179
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,000
And then you start chewing through it and you're like, oh, there it is. There it is. There it is.

180
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:20,000
The salsa is not very spicy, but good flavorful.

181
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:26,000
I'm going with the orange salsa on mine, which I put it straight on there instead of dipping.

182
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:35,000
So we'll see. Yeah, I did this. If if it comes back to haunt me because normally when I see orange, I think habanero.

183
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000
But they only have these two salsas to choose from.

184
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,000
So I'm assuming it's probably not a but burner, but we'll see.

185
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Parker's getting into it.

186
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Sorry, we're enjoying.

187
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000
I think this is probably my favorite breakfast taco.

188
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Yeah. Holy crap. This is so good. Yeah.

189
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Also, it was cool. I ordered online.

190
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,000
And I got there like five minutes after my pickup time, which was nine, ten.

191
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,000
And there was a line like five people plus like three or four people eating there.

192
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Wow. So love to see that especially for a breakfast spot on a Wednesday morning. Tuesday. Oh, no. Wednesday.

193
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Yeah, here's Wednesday. All my days are mixed up. Yeah, same.

194
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:33,000
But yeah, it was cool that they were bumping their people and their supporting.

195
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Yeah, this is fire. How is the salsa super hot?

196
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,000
No, it's spicy, but it's not like it's not burning.

197
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Yeah, I'm not going to regret it later. That's great.

198
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Yeah, this is a really quality taco.

199
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,000
I probably would rate this up there with just about any other taco I've ever had breakfast taco wise.

200
00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:01,000
I don't think I can recall a better mixture of combination of flavors and the fact that you have that homemade tortilla.

201
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
The homemade tortilla. It's just. That's what puts it over.

202
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Like everything else is done perfectly. Like the potatoes are cooked perfect. The eggs are scrambled perfectly.

203
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:20,000
But the tortilla is what puts it over that. And again, like I said, we both agreed breakfast tacos should be on flour tortillas.

204
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,000
I don't mind it because of the hardiness of the the the homemade of the tortilla.

205
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
It's nice. It's fluffy. It's it's a really good tortilla.

206
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Honestly, if I didn't know that it was a corn tortilla, I probably would have assumed of the flour to you.

207
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:42,000
So, yeah. So like I said, they've got a huge many. They've got burritos.

208
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
They've got chili quiles, which is a favorite of mine.

209
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,000
I almost got that, but I was like, nah, that's going to be really hard to eat on the podcast.

210
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,000
So just one with the breakfast tacos because we've done that before.

211
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Yeah, for sure. I think these might be my new favorite in town.

212
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Yeah, I really love these. I I'm having trouble just not eating the second one really quick.

213
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Oh, I'm I'm going to scarf this as soon as there's a second to.

214
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Yeah, I'll talk for a bit if you want to eat. All right. Cool.

215
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000
So I'm obsessed with something.

216
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,000
And whenever I'm obsessed with something, I just like I can't stop thinking about it.

217
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:29,000
I feel like I am an evangelical Christian about certain things whenever they come across my plate.

218
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:36,000
The thing that I'm obsessed with right now is really silly and it doesn't have anything to do with breakfast foods or violence.

219
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:43,000
And so if you you know me, you know, I love music.

220
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Part of the reason I DJ is because I love pop music so much.

221
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000
I just that's one of my things. My DJ name is Pop Boy, et cetera.

222
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Billy Eilish's song Birds of a Feather has me in a complete and utter chokehold right now.

223
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
It's the only thing that I want to listen to.

224
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000
It's the only thing that I like think about.

225
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Like the first thing I think about in the morning is like the song.

226
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:17,000
I've been playing around with like different variations on like almost like an emo open tuning acoustic version of my own.

227
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,000
And I sent Parker just like a little snippet of like the first verse.

228
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
It's just been fun to like play with and think about and like kind of dissect.

229
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000
And I normally don't like delve in so deep into songs like this.

230
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:39,000
I get obsessed with songs, but like for some reason, just this one song just like really, really has me in a chokehold.

231
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000
And if you've never heard it, you've never listened to it.

232
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,000
You probably live under a rock because it's on it's on pop radio all the time right now.

233
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,000
It was on an advertisement for a TV show on Netflix.

234
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
I mean, it's just been everywhere for the past couple of months.

235
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,000
But if you go out of your way to avoid that sort of thing, just do me a favor.

236
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Just type it in to YouTube. Do not watch the official one.

237
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
I would love for you to watch a different version.

238
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:15,000
I'm going to tell you exactly what the version is because I've watched it so many times.

239
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,000
It is EME Music Vivo.

240
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,000
It is a live performance from Amazon's Amazon Music's song line.

241
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,000
So somebody ripped this off of Amazon Music's program song line.

242
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:41,000
And it's a live version of her and her band and her background singers doing Birds of a Feather.

243
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000
And it's just so like etheric.

244
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Like the fact that her and her background singers are so like in sync with each other and they do these like crazy runs that are in harmony.

245
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,000
It just blows me away.

246
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:02,000
So while Parker was eating, I wanted to take that time to spread the gospel of Billie Eilish's Birds of a Feather.

247
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000
That her new whole album, the whole new album is fantastic.

248
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Really, like since the day it was released, it has been in pretty regular rotation.

249
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000
I probably listen to it like five times a day. It came out.

250
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Yeah, I. It's funny.

251
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
So I like you. I love all music.

252
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Pop music holds a very special place in my heart as well.

253
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:39,000
But I anytime people find out that I love Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift and like Olivia Rodrigo, they're like, wait, what?

254
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
No, that doesn't make sense.

255
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:49,000
I don't understand. Like I'm like, yeah, like Carly Rae Jepsen is one of my favorites of all time.

256
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Emotion side B. I last record was crazy.

257
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
It's not like a Tame Impala record.

258
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Yeah, like love me some good pop music.

259
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:10,000
But yeah, I always get like weird reactions when I'm like geeking out about the new Billie Eilish or whatever.

260
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Right now, my daughter turned me on to a singer.

261
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Have you ever heard of Bailey Spin?

262
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000
I don't think so. No.

263
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Bailey Spin is a YouTuber.

264
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
OK.

265
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:33,000
And she started making music and the music sounds like if Avril Lavigne fronted My Chemical Romance.

266
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,000
But with I don't even know if that's right.

267
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Like it's like Avril Lavigne, My Chemical Romance, Paramore and Olivia Rodrigo.

268
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Oh, wow.

269
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:51,000
And like this girl has over a million followers on like TikTok and YouTube and all this.

270
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:57,000
And she's going on her first full US tour in November and she's playing Dallas at Three Links.

271
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
So it's going to be my daughter's first like concert.

272
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
She's been to hardcore shows and stuff, but.

273
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,000
She she's 10 and I told her, like, yeah, we're going to go and she's like, what?

274
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
I was like, yeah, and it's at Three Links.

275
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:18,000
So this isn't like going to see Olivia Rodrigo at like a giant place where you're sitting in the nosebleeds watching it on TV.

276
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Like for those of you listening who are not from DFW, you do not know what Three Links is.

277
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000
It's a kind of small bar and deep elm.

278
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
I've seen some cool shows there, like cool bands play there.

279
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
We play there. Yeah, I'm thinking capacity.

280
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000
There's probably like 150. Yeah.

281
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,000
So, yeah, that's going to be my daughter's first like concert.

282
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
That's so fun. And she's so excited.

283
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,000
She's like, are we going to get to meet her? I was like, probably.

284
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Because there's like there is a green room, but it's such a small, intimate space.

285
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000
But also, sorry, we're going down pop music. We're good.

286
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,000
I found this artist day before yesterday.

287
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,000
OK, that's the artist's name day before yesterday.

288
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Her name is Sydney Sprague.

289
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
All these names I've never heard. Sydney Sprague.

290
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,000
I'm sending you this album right now, so I don't forget because it's so good.

291
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:26,000
I found it Monday night when I was closing because I had the last like two hours of my shift from like 11 p.m.

292
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,000
to 1 a.m. is all just like admin stuff and then like running trash across downtown.

293
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:42,000
But it's I just put in an airbud while I do my thing and listen to music or podcasts or books on tape or whatever.

294
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
But this Sydney Sprague popped up.

295
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:53,000
And I started listening to her and oh, my God, it's so good.

296
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,000
I forgot this one was talking about pop music, but Casey Musgrove Musgrave. Sorry.

297
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,000
No, you're good. Casey Musgrave is another favorite.

298
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
I've seen her live three or four times. I'm so jealous of that.

299
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:12,000
And we have tickets to see her November 23. Nice.

300
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Well, Sydney Sprague gives me some spacey Casey vibes.

301
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Nice. Less country, less traditional pop.

302
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,000
And I found out she played at Three Links last night. Dang.

303
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Yeah, I was working so I couldn't go.

304
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,000
But I always love that whenever you find the artist and then all of a sudden they're there.

305
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:36,000
That's like that happened to like me, Jordan and Elijah whenever hoops came into our lives.

306
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,000
It was like I heard this one song and then I sent it to both of them.

307
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,000
And then like I was just kind of like, oh, they're cool. Where are they from?

308
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000
And then I'm like, what? They're playing at Three Links tonight.

309
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Yeah, that's exactly what happened.

310
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
I mean, we went, oh, I would love to have been there.

311
00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:00,000
But yeah, she had there's one song specifically where her voice sounds almost identical to Casey Musgraves,

312
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,000
but it's not the same style of music. Interesting.

313
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
And the tour she did was actually sponsored by Emo Night Brooklyn. Oh, OK.

314
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:16,000
So just to kind of get probably some ties behind the scenes there, like production wise or label wise.

315
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,000
She's been around for a little while. I've listened to some of her other albums and they're all really good.

316
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:27,000
They're like very pretty pop music, upbeat pop music.

317
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:33,000
But the lyrical content can get pretty dark.

318
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Like the name of the album that I just sent you is Somebody in Hell Loves You.

319
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Well, that's not super dark.

320
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,000
And her album before that was Maybe I Will See You at the End of the World.

321
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,000
And it's like a post apocalyptic like or apocalyptic.

322
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,000
She also some features on the album I sent you.

323
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Kisipi. OK. Kevin Devine.

324
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,000
I feel like there's another good one in there to Pool Kids.

325
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Just to kind of give you an idea of her vibe.

326
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Yeah. If if you are into any of the music we've been talking about, go go check that out.

327
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Yeah, check it out.

328
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:33,000
So we wanted to talk a little bit about our now that we've like had our feelings settle and we've heard some explanations and some things kind of about our reaction to the event that happened on Saturday Noche UFC.

329
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:45,000
If you watched the jab at all yesterday, you will now know that Sean O'Malley has had a torn labrum in his hip for the past 10 weeks.

330
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000
And I feel duped.

331
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Yeah.

332
00:29:49,000 --> 00:30:02,000
I just feel like like you should have done the due diligence to like not let it get this far to the point where it's like obviously there's a point of no return whenever it comes to like production and marketing and all of that sort of thing.

333
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,000
But 10 weeks ago seems like a pretty long time ago.

334
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000
10 weeks ago, like, hey, I'm not gonna put on a good fight.

335
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Instead of making people think that I forgot how to fight.

336
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Maybe I should pull up.

337
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Yeah.

338
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,000
And then there's just the nonchalant like, yeah, I'm just gonna have surgery on October 3rd.

339
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:26,000
And then I'm not going to be in the UFC for like nine to 10 months, possibly up to a year.

340
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Like I said yesterday on the jab, if I was Dana White, I'd be pissed off.

341
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Absolutely.

342
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Like spent 20 million dollars of your own money to build a card around your quote unquote, you know, biggest draw or biggest name.

343
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:52,000
I mean, I could I can think of three or four other fights that are happening within the vicinity of this fight that could have replaced that fight as the main event.

344
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000
You've got Max Holloway, Elia Topori are coming up.

345
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,000
You could have easily slotted that in there instead.

346
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Alex Pereira and Kahlil Roundtree is coming up.

347
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,000
I mean, he's already saved your ass three or four times this year.

348
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Throw him in there and let him save you again.

349
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000
I mean, he's clearly in his prime.

350
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
He's clearly doesn't have a torn labrum in his hip.

351
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,000
It just it really pissed me off when I heard that.

352
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,000
It pissed me off how he handled the situation and how nonchalant he was about it.

353
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Yeah.

354
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
At the end of the day, he gets paid no matter what.

355
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,000
So, yeah.

356
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,000
So, you know, oh, I didn't put on a good show for all the people who paid all this money for it.

357
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Yeah. Whatever. I still got paid.

358
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Yeah, I guess it just it sucks because like for me, $80 is a lot of money for Sean O'Malley.

359
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
It just seems like it doesn't matter.

360
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Like you said, he got paid.

361
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:52,000
And then so I watched the post fight press conference because Tuesday nights, if you're not watching Dana White contender series post fight press conference, you're not getting kind of like the real dirt.

362
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:00,000
And Kevin Ioli asked him about him lying to the commission about not disclosing his injury.

363
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Dana White was just like, yeah, he straight up lied to us.

364
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
He he told us he was good to go and he wasn't good to go.

365
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:10,000
He's like, how does a doctor check specifically for a torn labrum in your hip if you don't tell us that you got something going on?

366
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
So, yeah, I don't know.

367
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,000
I and we talked about this during the live.

368
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
We talked about it leading up.

369
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:24,000
I think they did a huge disservice by not putting any sort of heavyweight fight on there.

370
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Yeah, it just the whole of it wasn't necessarily exciting.

371
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Like we got to see a lot of good wrestling and grappling, and that's cool.

372
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:40,000
But for an event of this size, it would have been cool to have at least a couple fights.

373
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:50,000
They ended in knockout or didn't go all the way, even a submission like a second or third round submission would have been cool.

374
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Instead of having to sit through every round and it be decision.

375
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Yeah, like it for how built up it was.

376
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,000
It seemed like everyone was playing it very safe and very like, let's just get through this.

377
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,000
And I haven't watched a whole like honestly, this is probably my first UFC pay per view to watch.

378
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Sure. Live. And it was kind of a bummer. Yeah.

379
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,000
I've seen some people who like loved it.

380
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Those are more the guys I know who are like BJJ and wrestling purists.

381
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
They loved seeing all that. And I like seeing that stuff, too.

382
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:32,000
But again, for a pay per view, I want to see the kind of action I'm seeing in contender series every week for free.

383
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000
I want to see better action on the contender series.

384
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,000
I love the contender series like that.

385
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,000
That is so cool to me because it is just like put it all out there and go for it.

386
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Then you get your son O'Malley.

387
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,000
I've already made it. I'm going to get paid. Whatever. I'll just phone it in.

388
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:00,000
And that's the thing, too, is like the ego to be like, well, even with torn labor, I could probably still win this fight when it's just like,

389
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:09,000
I'm going to be going to wrestle you for five rounds and you need your hips to get out of takedowns and get back onto your feet.

390
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:23,000
It just it sucks. You know, and then just the whole like weirdness around the fact that like Merab clearly is like trying his hardest to be likable and marketable.

391
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,000
But it just comes off as like awkward and like almost autistic in a sense.

392
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
I mean, I assume pretty much everyone.

393
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,000
See, if you're at that level of a combat sport, you're probably somewhere on the spectrum for sure.

394
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,000
But I mean, kissing him on the back and like he was putting on a show.

395
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Yeah. But that's the thing is like, we don't want to see that show.

396
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:49,000
I mean, that was probably the most entertaining part of the entire night was him bouncing around him like being a weirdo.

397
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:55,000
He to me, it felt like he was doing a coked out Connor impersonation.

398
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,000
What someone who like it's chat GBT's version of Connor. Exactly.

399
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:03,000
It's like, hey, here's everything that goes into Conor McGregor.

400
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Will you make that for me? And then you get Merab.

401
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:14,000
And like I honestly, after that fight, I liked him a lot more than I did going into it because it was so weird.

402
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Yeah. And also the gas tank on that dude is insane.

403
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Crazy. Yeah. Party around like for sure.

404
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Fifth round, he is bouncing around fresh as he was in the first round.

405
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,000
So like he he earned it. He went out there.

406
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:37,000
He like I think that if Sean O'Malley wouldn't have had that hip injury and could have fought at 100 percent, it would have been a very different fight.

407
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Yeah. But I still think that Murad would have given him a run for his money.

408
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:47,000
I agree. I don't think that Sean had a any answer for the game plan of a non stationary opponent.

409
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:58,000
You know what I mean? Just like the the constant bouncing around, the shaking of his hands and his head and just changing levels and just constantly being everywhere other than just right in front of you to hit.

410
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:05,000
So you could tell kind of in the fourth round, he's just like intently trying to figure out where to send his punches.

411
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,000
And it wasn't until the fifth round to you basically go. It's just like basketball or like football.

412
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Like if you're guarding somebody, you want to watch their waist hips and they're you know, so it's all it's all in the hips.

413
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:24,000
And so whenever he teep kicked him to the middle of the body, because it's like that's the only stationary thing you got.

414
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
He heard him. Yeah. And then it was too little too late.

415
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:34,000
So I think personally, the biggest win out of no J.

416
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:39,000
UFC was probably Diego Lopez. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

417
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:46,000
I think that that guy came out. I mean, he was ranked 12th and now he has taken Brian Ortega's third spot.

418
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,000
So he has leapfrogged leapfrogged a bunch of people.

419
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:59,000
I think that him going in there immediately and cornering Alexa Grasso brought his face and more attention to him after he just had a great performance.

420
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:08,000
So I think, you know, as I look back on some of the more impressive pieces of the night that were the sphere and were production,

421
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Diego Lopez is kind of to me the star of the night.

422
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:24,000
The other thing was disappointed in is just I guess the fact, like you said, we didn't have any sort of like great huge knockouts.

423
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:30,000
But I also felt like there could have been more fights.

424
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,000
There could have been at least two more fights on either end of the card.

425
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:41,000
It felt like we paid a lot of money for four or five fights. You know, you know, it lasted until one a.m.

426
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Like, oh, no, no, no, no, no doubt. No doubt.

427
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:52,000
They could have had two more fights if they would have been heavy hitters that didn't go all 15.

428
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:59,000
And that's kind of what I wanted to want a couple of cans mixed into the prelim and then the main card.

429
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,000
So that way you could be like, oh, they slept that dude.

430
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:08,000
So that a way it's less like, OK, 25 minutes later, we're still grappling.

431
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Exactly. And yeah, just it needed more excitement besides just what was going on on the sphere screen, which the production on that was cool.

432
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000
I'm sure it would have been amazing to be there and see it like.

433
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:30,000
It was cool on TV, but it didn't translate probably the way it did in person, like looking back at it was like, man, I bet that shit was so cool.

434
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Yeah, I did enjoy the storyline, though I've actually gone back and taken a look at some of that stuff.

435
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Monday, I was teaching music and that was actual Mexican Mexican Independence Day. And so I always try to do history along with music.

436
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:55,000
And so I was talking to the kids. I was like, listen, this Mexican independence happened like 300 years ago.

437
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,000
What do you think music was like back then? And they were like, they didn't have music or you know what I mean?

438
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:11,000
And so I actually played them like a couple of songs that the revolutionaries were listening to an actual the hit the him of the National Anthem of Mexico that they developed after that revolution.

439
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
And so they were just like, what? You know what I mean? And so we their little bums.

440
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:20,000
What's crazy is like, I think the UFC did a great job as far as like celebrating a Mexican independence.

441
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:30,000
They did a really good job of like talking about colonialism, showing Hilda Dago ringing the bell, talking about the grito, talking about the ofrenda and all of the Day of the Dead stuff.

442
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:38,000
I think that was great. I just wish that like, like I said, I think that maybe if they had an intermission and had those parts, maybe all together.

443
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Yes.

444
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:45,000
As opposed to like fight movie, fight movie, fight movie, if they may have done it in between the prelims and the main event.

445
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:59,000
And then the way there was more the ability more to show the atmosphere and not necessarily like we've got 60 seconds to show it to you before we get ready to throw this other fight.

446
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Kendrick Lamar was.

447
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:09,000
I've seen so much stuff about this on the Internet. He was not there. Yeah, that was Terrence.

448
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:15,000
So, yeah, that's hilarious. Terrence, but Crawford Lamar.

449
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,000
We were watching it live and we were like, no, no, no.

450
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:24,000
And I actually went back and watched the press conference and Dana was like, he did kind of look like Kendrick Lamar.

451
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Yeah. Honest mistake. Honest mistake.

452
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Which crazy, though, is Kendrick Lamar's performing at halftime this year at the Super Bowl.

453
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Have you seen that? I did.

454
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:49,000
I did. OK, so have you seen the announcement for that? No, he's kind of like standing in front of an American flag and he's got one of those machines that if you feed a ball into it shoots out and then and he's saying a lot of things that come on.

455
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Let's go.

456
00:40:51,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Well, there's actually a video that breaks down how the announcement for the halftime show is actually just an extended disk to Drake even more.

457
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,000
I figured it probably was, but that's amazing.

458
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:15,000
So like almost everything he does and says in the announcement for the halftime performance is basically like dissing Drake one more time.

459
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Like, yes, awesome.

460
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Love it. But I'm also curious, like, when is it going to be played out? Yeah. And over and not making anyone care anymore.

461
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:33,000
Yeah, like when it was probably after halftime. Yeah, we'll see.

462
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:38,000
We'll be like, OK, not like us for the millionth time. Yeah, like it's all been so good.

463
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:46,000
But I also had kind of forgotten about it until the Kendrick Lamar flub on UFC.

464
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,000
I was like, oh, yeah. And are they still like going at it?

465
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Has Drake released anything else or is it just Kendrick?

466
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:58,000
He released like the secret thing called 100 gigs is like a three song EP.

467
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000
But it had nothing to do with Kendrick. I don't think I've kind of tuned out.

468
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:10,000
To be honest with you, the big three brunch that I did and all of the preparation that I did for that kind of burned me out.

469
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:19,000
I get it. And I haven't really been keeping up me and Phil kind of text back and forth whenever, you know, Kendrick drops or whenever something like that happens.

470
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:44,000
I am very interested in like the subliminal, like the fact that Kendrick Lamar releases like his music strategically on like Father's Day or like Fourth of July or, you know, the fact that he has enough forthright and thought to turn his announcement into something subliminal, even for just like, you know, the people that really care that much.

471
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:51,000
But yeah, I haven't really been keeping up with I didn't really listen to the Drake EP that he just released.

472
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:56,000
I've been more into like pop music birds of a feather.

473
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Yeah, no, I like when I was super heated, I was keeping up and then I just kind of fell off.

474
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:12,000
And that's what's crazy, too, is you find out all the behind the scenes stuff after the fact that like Drake was paying people to like release his music and like, which we kind of knew during the time.

475
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,000
But like after the fact, you're just like, man, that's corny as fuck.

476
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Yeah, I mean, when you're at that level, kind of that's what it is.

477
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:26,000
I don't know. I working last night. So you didn't see contender series, right? I haven't seen last week's contender or this.

478
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:31,000
But I'm going to be staying up all night to reset my sleep schedule so I can wake up in the mornings.

479
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:36,000
And so I'll have a lot of time to get caught up on contender series. I just wanted to mention one thing.

480
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:48,000
It's not a spoiler or giveaway or whatever. It's just any time I watch contender series, inevitably there will be one fighter that doesn't get a contract.

481
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:59,000
And it's just always kind of like super sad to see them sitting in that director's chair by themselves whenever everyone around them is getting the contract.

482
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Yeah. And I forget which episode was the short little guy was Torrance Torrey Finney or Torrance Finney.

483
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Yeah. Yeah. Seeing him sitting there, I was like, yeah, you should be sitting there.

484
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Do you like you did not do enough? Yeah. Like I didn't feel bad for him at all.

485
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Like this is your second time you were told to do something and did not do that. You did not like perform well out here.

486
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:37,000
I don't know. Maybe I'm just not as empathetic. Usually it's like, hey, especially if it's your second time, if it's your first time, like that's a bummer.

487
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:44,000
But not everybody wins every time. And if it's your second time, it's like, OK, maybe this isn't this isn't it.

488
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Yeah. It just last night it struck me because the guy that wound up not getting a contract came from city kickboxing.

489
00:44:52,000 --> 00:45:00,000
And his whole video package was Israel Adesanya speaking about how he's like so great and then everybody on the show except for him.

490
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Damn. So he's just like sitting there like in the chair watching people pass by him to go sign their contract with Dana White and just like, was he a young dude?

491
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Yeah. Yeah. He's perfectly fine. Yeah. And that's the other thing is like when it's young dudes, it's like, oh, you're in like 20, 21, 22, 23.

492
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:26,000
You still got years to come back, like to train to get stronger, to get better and come back and do this shit.

493
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:34,000
So just looking forward this week, like we said, we've got obviously we went four hours with UFC Noche.

494
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:40,000
That was a long, drawn out performance and podcast.

495
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:50,000
But we do two things. One, I saw a Walmart at my local Walmart. They have hanger packs now for the Don Russ.

496
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:57,000
So I don't have to buy the plaster boxes at 20 bucks a pop, six ninety seven for like 20 something cards.

497
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:05,000
So I'm going to start grabbing some of those. And then so we don't have UFC this weekend.

498
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:16,000
So we've got a couple of weeks to prepare for this other card. This other card that we've got is a fight night between Hanata Moekano and Saint Denis.

499
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Hanata Moekano is Benoit Saint Denis. Hanata Moekano is actually the one that just started a podcast with Gilbert Burns and the one that I told you called Raul Rosas Jr.

500
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:36,000
So interested to see this fight and what we have coming up here. It is going to be a free fight, obviously.

501
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:45,000
But then the very next fight after that is going to be another pay per view. It's going to be UFC 307 Charles Olivera versus Khalil Roundtree Jr.

502
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:54,000
So in the build up to that fight, what I'd like to do is kind of intentionally on the podcast, say Khalil Roundtree's name a bunch.

503
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:01,000
So that way we could try to get him, if you know Khalil Roundtree, give him a holler and tell him we'd like to get him on the podcast.

504
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,000
Just a quick five minute zoom to ask what he eats for breakfast.

505
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Talk his love of hardcore music and just kind of champion him on to possibly win the belt.

506
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Take it away from Alex Perretto. Yeah. So we've got a couple of weeks with no or we've got a week with no fights.

507
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:29,000
So we've got two weeks. So I was thinking within the next time that we meet, maybe we could do that iceberg conspiracy.

508
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:40,000
We talked about one of the things that we brought up on the live that we talked about just just quickly is just the Michael Buffer, Bruce Buffer connection.

509
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:47,000
One thing that I thought was kind of cool, I was taking a look at this before we hopped on just quickly.

510
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:56,000
I'm going to read this paragraph right here and then we'll kind of wrap up and leave up on this. But it says, If this were a true story, a prize fight, Bruce Buffer would get introduced first.

511
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:04,000
He's the challenger after all, the baby brother by 13 years coming up in the shadow of a legend drove him to find his own voice, conquer his own sport, be his own buffer.

512
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:13,000
And so should so he should enter the arena to something suitable UFC wise, something like jump around by House of Pain.

513
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:20,000
Bruce jumps around nods his head, we're on above. Now it's time for the champ. The lights dim. He makes his way.

514
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Diamonds are forever. Michael Buffer.

515
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:29,000
Basically, it's just this thing. It says two brothers who scale different peaks at the same rage.

516
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:36,000
Michael in boxing, Bruce in UFC, a pair of mountain goats. The full story, though, is more like a great American saga.

517
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Not quite rags to riches, but close enough filled with money, guns, fights, foster homes, family mysteries, global plagues, cancerous tumors, Dana White, Donald Trump, James Bond, beer, bourbon and celebrity poker.

518
00:48:53,000 --> 00:49:08,000
So if the buffers lines were a movie script, it would come back with a note to tone it down about 25 percent. Yet every word is true. So yeah, that's kind of we talked about last time.

519
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:15,000
There was kind of some some controversy with Michael Buffer's name and he had joined the military and they sorted his name out.

520
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:24,000
He got into announcing and then his family basically saw him on TV and his dad was like, Bruce, this is your half brother. That's my boy. Yeah.

521
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:31,000
And so Bruce actually was Michael's manager before he decided to get into announcing himself.

522
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:45,000
The two biggest names in like fight announcing Michael Buffer with the Let's Get Ready to Rumble in boxing and then It's Time by Bruce Buffer in the UFC. Just they didn't know that they were brothers until they were both adults.

523
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:52,000
So that's a very cool story that like, you know, if you're not in the combat sports world, you still might know. Let's get ready to rumble.

524
00:49:52,000 --> 00:50:07,000
And just like so that's part of that whole thing that that we want to talk about. So next week, we're going to kind of prepare, get into that and then we'll come back to you with some fun UFC slash MMA conspiracy iceberg stuff.

525
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Yeah, let's wrap up. You're going to have a good day. Last day, last day.

526
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,000
So proud of 130.

527
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:26,000
This is it. All right, everybody out there. Hope you have a good week. If you want to give us a call 682-294-0101 or breakfast of champs pod at gmail.com.

528
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:50,000
Take care, everybody. Have a good week. Bye. Bye.

529
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,000
You
