During 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.520 the we did like an IG live. It was when 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.360 I was dropping music last year. Yeah, and then we 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.040 did the McQueen Summer Party thing. We did the McQueen 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.440 Party for sure, which was you know, the whole, the 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.480 whole entire pandemic had motherfuckers doing weird ass ship like 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.600 I was DJing. Huh, I said, you caught COVID didn't? 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.200 Oh yeah, I had it. You never caught it. I did, 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.079 he did. I feel like we all did. I caught 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.400 it that week when LA had like opened up like 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.320 pump faked on us, and I went to Noble and 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.440 I went to the studio and then I couldn't taste 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.560 and smell anything. I remember that. That was like I 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.920 remember it was like end of May or was it 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.640 June's It was early June. It was early June, and 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.239 everybody it was like, all of a sudden, this mental 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.079 thing happened where we all just thought it was over. 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.400 I was in fucking Scottsdale turning the fuck up DJing, 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.680 and I got I got caught with the pump fake yeah. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.760 And then I was like, wait a minute, I can't smell. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.079 That's the word. I mean. I could still taste and 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.359 I didn't really have any like crazy symptoms outside of that. 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.360 It was random. I was eating breakfast and I was like, 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.240 couldn't taste the orange juice. I'm like, this is weird. 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.239 Maybe it's just like bad orange juice or something. So 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.320 I'll go upstairs. I got all these essential oils and stuff, 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.720 and I'm like shoving peppermint up my nose and I'm like, no, 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.960 I can't smell nothing. Yeah. My wife was cooking and 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.440 I couldn't smell anything, and I was like, oh fuck, 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.000 I just got home from from like a weekend on dazy. Yeah, 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.040 and my dog has like this little piece of grass, 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.640 like artificial grass that he'd be shitting on sometimes, and 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.200 there was like a turret on it. And I was like, yo, 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.600 this is the ultimate test. So I got down. I said, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.320 I was like, I don't smell this shit in front 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.520 of my I got COVID and then just the whole 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.880 crib ended up with it. So the shit test. Yeah, 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.720 we were locked down, man. But yeah, I mean it 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.000 feels like everybody's kind of finally getting through. Did you 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.560 get vaccinated? No, I didn't get vaccinated. Are you like 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.480 not going to do it or I'm not just hasn't happened, 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.360 totally against it? Yeah, it just hasn't happened yet. They 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.320 talking all that shit about traveling and stuff like that. Yeah, 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.560 it'll probably help you specifically, some of these countries. You know, 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.680 I'm not against it. I'm just not in any rush either. 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.840 I hear you. I get both sides, Like I got 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.719 homies that are like yo, like I want to see 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.280 the first year of this ship past that makes sense 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:23.840 and then let's see you know, because like a lot 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.000 of people got the Johnson and Johnson one and then 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.920 they pulled that ship off the shelf. Right, So yeah, 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.560 I got I just got my ship out the way though, 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.200 you got it? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think. 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:34.800 I'm not one of those people who think people are 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:39.080 stupid forgetting it. There's I mean, you know, it's probably 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.800 going to be some type of consequences. We'll fucking see. 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:48.320 What kind of consequences do you think though? Uh? Me personally? Yeah? 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:54.280 Population control, Yeah, I do. I mean, listen, the population 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:59.120 control dark hole is a serious one, especially when you 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:03.880 start considering, like just I feel like there's so much 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.279 shit going on. When we start talking about like elon 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:11.280 Musk and going to planets and you know, the resources 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:15.200 on Earth at the rate that we're creating people, it's 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.680 like it's some something's gotta give eventually. I don't know 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.400 if we're gonna be here when it happens, but I 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.120 could see that. Yeah, it's real. It's real. I mean, 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.359 and there's there's people that twisted to come up with 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.120 stuff to actually do that. Well, you know. And the 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:37.640 other thing too, is like the idea that COVID came 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.840 from a lab was so frowned upon initially when you 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:45.200 would say that, because you know, it's fucked up like nowadays, 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.080 like if you if you have any sort of perspective 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.080 or bring up any sort of opinion that doesn't go 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.919 with either side of you know, society, they label you 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.440 as the other side, you know what I mean. So 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:01.320 it's like, hey, there is some like real clues that 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.919 would make you think that this came from a lab. 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.359 But if you said that a year ago, people be 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.280 like you're a Maga Trump freak. But it's like, wait, 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.640 like it's not. It's possible to like think for yourself 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.960 sometimes without you having to be on you know. Yeah, 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.560 I mean, I mean, this thing it gave, It gave 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.800 a lot, even just the vaccinations. It just gives a 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.960 lot of people some ship to argue about everything. Man, 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.200 Oh I got one, Oh I don't have one. Oh 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.720 I want one. Oh you don't want one. Oh, you're 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.280 dumb for one and one oh, you're stupid for not 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.200 wanting one. I just want to stay off Twitter and 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.680 the internet. Man. It just gives people some ship to 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:43.200 argue about the brands of fucking uh vaccinations, give people 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.919 bragging rights and ship like that. I'm I'm aderna mommy. 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.680 Oh yo, you haven't heard again. It sounds about right. 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.480 I stay away from all that stuff. It's weird. I 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.039 stay away from I know you got to because you're 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.960 in it every day, like you have to report back 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.200 on that ship. But me, like, I keep it so 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.479 far away because like it becomes your reality after a while, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.840 Like it also fucks with your energy. Yeah, I mean, 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.720 you know, I feel like I feel like you've done 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.600 a really good job of I don't like, I don't 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:21.040 ever see Whiz participating in just bullshit online. No, I 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.560 know my place, and you know, like you'll throw a 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.280 thought out there and then everyone else will react to it. Yeah, 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.120 you'll throw some shit out there, like, yo, don't be 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.679 around me if you're smoking backwards right, and then it'll 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.520 go on every fucking like hip hop meme page and 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.320 then everyone chimes in and then you're your price smoking 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.840 you know. I mean, like on some g ship, I 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.600 don't even look at this stuff afterwards, Like I'll say 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.400 something and then I'll just sit my phone down. That's 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.000 how you almost got to do it. Otherwise you drive 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.720 yourself crazy reading comment You drop fucking three interviews a week, 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.160 and if I dived into the comments on these interviews, nah, God, 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.880 but a culture vulture. I just go on about my day, like, yeah, 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.360 I don't even realize how many people I pissed off. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.800 But it's cool though, because people need to be pissed off. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.720 People need to you know, have conversations, like you said, 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.720 like alternative conversations with it. I just think that we've 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.960 gotten to the point. And you know, I think the 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.400 Trump shit is a lot to blame with this where 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.800 everyone is so tribal with their thoughts to where like, 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.920 you know, if you don't agree on everything over here, 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.120 that side will just tell you to go fuck themselves. 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.400 You know. I was talking to Killer Mike, and uh, 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.800 you know, Mike is a big gun advocate, right, which 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:37.440 is okay, but like he's also with Bernie Sanders in 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:42.920 Alabama advocating for unions for Amazon workers. But there's like 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.679 people who like agree with Killer Mike on everything else 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.640 that will hang him out the dry because he believes 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.360 in the Second Amendment, And it's like, what the fuck, Like, yeah, 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.760 you should be able to believe in whatever you want to. 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.200 Sometimes I just talk about it too. That's the real part, 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.560 is like you really can't say shit, you know what 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.160 I'm saying. It's like, it shouldn't be like that to 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:09.000 where one conversation will just spark everybody calling you these 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.920 names or thinking you're just like we can we can 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.079 just talk about it. Maybe I need to learn some 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.599 shit that I didn't even fucking know a point of 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.640 view on it or whatever whatever. But to be able 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.080 to bring the conversation up and not have to, you know, 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.880 be boxed in or labeled, Oh my god, and I 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.000 have your whole day ruin by you know, other people's 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.280 opinions that you don't deserve all of that. That's one 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.080 hundred percent. It's crazy. Did you you know? I'm a 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.400 big Joe Rogan fan, and I went there, uh with 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.200 up Freddie gibbson this podcast, like a couple of months ago. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.160 We went out there, Yeah, did rooms with Joe? Oh sweet, 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.960 My fucking face was melted off. Y'all did this rooms 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.680 on the show. No, no, no, we did him that 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.000 night at a comedy show. I didn't get that. Look. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.640 It was rough, y'all ate just like regular. So I 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.840 fucked up because I had an edible uh huh, like 0:09:55.920 --> 0:10:00.880 a a pretty strong edible. And then I trooms and 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.240 I was drinking like a fish. And then we went 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.520 to sixth sixth Halve or sixth Street, sixth Street and 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.960 we went bar hopping and bro Texas. Yeah in Austin, Yeah, 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.640 because he moved his show down. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah. 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.480 So it was probably a really it was a really 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.440 rough trip for me because I really thought that like 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.760 we were gonna get killed. I was paranoid as fuck. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.280 I thought everybody was trying to like smoke Freddy. I 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.000 was like, bro, we don't end up like pop smoke 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.520 out here. Bro. Like I was really freaking the fuck out. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.280 And then I got and then I just woke up 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.640 in my hotel room. It was rough. But but you 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.000 went on the Rogan Show, which I thought was super dope. 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.120 Did you get like, I feel like that's another guy 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.000 who were talking about who like he just speaks freely 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:39.520 for three or four hours at a time, so he's 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.719 bound to say some ship that can piss any people off. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.319 Did you get any like blowback from anybody? For no, man, 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.800 Actually I got a lot of love from that. Of course. 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.400 It was a great interview. Thank you appreciate it. You 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.880 guys were fun. We were I just woke up. I 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.320 was really excited to do it first of all, and 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.960 then when I got there, there was no like real 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.280 format or any thing. It was just like, yo, just 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.960 sit down and we just start talking. So yeah, I 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.560 mean the vibe that I got from him, and of 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.720 course is authentic and he's a cool ass dude. But 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.080 he just says what he thinks is real and what 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.600 he believes, and if he believes it, he believes it. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.880 If he doesn't, he'll ask you and talk to you. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.200 But he's not really going to challenge your opinion. He's 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:25.240 just going to say what he believes. And I'm I'm 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.040 cool with that, like everybody's standing on. Also, like the 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.760 fact he's very open to your perspective, right, like he'd 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.240 be like, oh shit, I didn't even look at it 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:34.400 that way, you know what I mean? Like he has 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.920 people from all sides. Nobody get on there and argue 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.800 with Joe, they just talk. Everybody just talks, but they 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.760 don't always agree. They're not saying the same exact thing, 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.480 but they're not fucking going back and forth. And shit, 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.079 I feel like if the world was like, they'd be 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.440 bad because we's just yelling at each other. Yeah, I mean, 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.040 we're tweeting at each other really with lots of caps. Man, 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.679 it's weird. I don't even fuck with a lot of 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.840 that type of stuff. Y'all are my homies, so it's 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:01.680 like y'all can get anything, you know what I mean. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.760 But really, like on the outside and you know, just 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:10.280 shock value and all that stuff click bait. It's a dark, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.079 real scary place. And I take that shit personally, like 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:18.000 for real, for real, if somebody uses me for a headline, 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.079 that's not cool. Like that's not what we're in it for. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.760 So even try to set people up like that and 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.040 make things out of I've never been in it for that. Well. 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.079 I feel like you also don't do a lot of 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.640 like you do interviews, but you're not like you don't 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.319 do like a lot of sit down shit, like you 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:35.680 know what I mean. Like I feel like I was 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.640 just thinking about it earlier today. I don't. I don't 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.960 do a lot of that, but well I do, but 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.840 it doesn't go crazy because nobody fucks with me like nobody. 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.840 And I feel like you're very good. When someone tries 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.960 to hit you with one of those got your joints, 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.480 you just shut that shit down. Yeah, for sure. I 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.840 mean it's it's definitely a mutual respect where I'm like, Okay, 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.599 you gotta do what you gotta do. You got to 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.000 try to get these questions off. But I'm not gonna 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:04.440 break my character or you know, my integrity for your headlines. 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.000 You did what I'm saying. We're gonna keep it light, 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.839 We're gonna keep it cool. And if that's not interesting, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.160 then you don't even want whiz. You know what I'm saying. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.000 But I'm not coming here for no drama or no bullshit. 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.040 And I think people really understand that, and they don't 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.040 really approach me with that. They don't try to bring 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.480 that out. And yeah, I feel very fortunate to have 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.240 that be a part of my career. You dig, yeah 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:28.520 one hundred percent. Man, are you still heavy in the gym? 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:32.520 Because man, your transformation just as a dude, Yeah, it's 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.360 pretty serious. Little as hell, bro, I mean yeah, like 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.800 you know, you were whiz just skinny, skinny, tall, skinny 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.560 cat and then all of a sudden you're yoked up 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.480 doing kickboxing and all that, man, And it was definitely 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.920 like inspiring to see like how committed you were to 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.960 not only like getting bigger and getting like stronger, but 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.480 also just the the fighting shit. That's like it felt 0:13:56.480 --> 0:14:00.000 like you were like you're all in on that. Yeah. 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.560 Like for me, like I'm not trying to be the 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.280 biggest dude in the world, the biggest gym freak or 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.360 anything like that. I think I just kind of started 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.199 just to learn. And the more that I started that 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.040 I would be able to put like the gym aspect 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:18.400 just into life or music or whatever, art, creativity, science, 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.000 excuse me, it all just made more sense and kind 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.040 of tied in. And of course you get the physical 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.880 benefits from it if you stick with it. Like you 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.280 can't just do what I did in like six to 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:34.760 eight months. It takes years to like transform your body, 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.480 you know what I'm saying. And I'm still in the 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:40.000 process of you know, keeping it going. And because you 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.960 were you were trained with Jake lasers. Yeah, yeah, still 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:47.160 I still am there, yeh. And yeah. I mean, you know, 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.120 there's a lot of layers to that bro Like there's 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:54.640 there's the business layers. I became an owner in the 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.880 PFL that, Yeah, we got gems all over. I'm going 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.840 to have my own protein and shake and stuff like that. 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:06.280 Like based off of it, there's like the family aspect. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.000 I know so many fighters around the country, around the world. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.440 We can go to any gym, we can go to 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.080 any you know what I mean. It feels like when 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.240 you have something like that in common zone, it's almost 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.600 like a brotherhood because you're like in your most vulnerable 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.120 space with these guys training, sweating, like you know what 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.880 I mean. Like you're probably as a rapper, you're so 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.920 used to being in situations where you're that motherfucker, Like Yo, 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.040 you're headlining every show you're on, everyone's there to see you. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.760 You go to a gym with a bunch of killers, 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.920 it's like, you know, you're in a different position. It's 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.760 definitely humbling. And you know, anybody who comes from like 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.720 our position, we just want to learn. So I feel 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.560 like that was always my goal. So when you get 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.760 to a point and rap where I'm at, where you're 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.440 not really learning too much right, anybody around here. You 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.760 want to be the new guy at something, and you 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.160 want to have you've mastered the rap game. You want 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.120 some OG's around you. You don't want to you know 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.000 what I mean, always be the one who everybody's looking 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.440 two for everything, And the gym definitely allows me to 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.640 do that. With the PFL, how did you get involved 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.600 in that? Because for people that there's like they just 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.120 did an ESPN dal my producers just did that's a 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.480 big deal, man, super big. Yeah. So it's been going 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.360 on for about two three years now, so you're you're 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:22.520 a part owner of PFL YEP And basically it's just 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.800 alternative to the other fighting leagues. And we have a 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.760 regular season and we have playoffs and we have a championship, 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.320 and other superstars who competed other places they can come 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.600 to the PFL and join the season and we go 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.120 off of a point system. So the people with the 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.680 most points, that's who advances in their weight class. Is 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.000 it similar to like I think a point system? I 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.040 think like the way NASCAR does it? Is it kind 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.440 of close to them about Nascar? I just know that 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:53.200 they do I just points. I mean I could learn 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:58.480 about NASCAR so essentially because that's a new way of 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.360 doing it because you're talking about season. You know, we're 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.520 so used to seeing UFC it's a pay per view thing. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.880 It's like, so this is like more like like made 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.359 the best person win. Whoever's got the end of the 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.840 points goes to the play is it like? Yeah? Playoffs 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:14.440 for show and the champions Fire. You know Clarissa Shills, Yeah, 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.000 female boxers, she crossed over to the PFL, so she's 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.479 making her M and A the debut with us over there. 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:22.840 So it's gonna be a lot of stuff like that 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.680 where you see maybe people from other sports crossover, people 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:31.240 who are superstars in other other leagues they might not have, 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.000 you know, got their championship shot, but they come to 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:39.880 the PFL. Would would you guys take on like celebrity fights. Yeah, 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.800 Like if one of these Paul bros. Were like, hey man, 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.920 I'm trying to get into octagon, why not? I don't 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.800 see why not. We would train them up, we would 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.760 start him in the season and we see where they go. Yeah, 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:53.919 I mean, you gotta compete, like, it's not gonna be 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.280 like a popularity contest. So yeah, I think that that's 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.639 those dudes they bang like they really fight. That's what 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.040 I'm like. Look, man, like I'm a you know, if 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:03.720 you're a boxing fan, you got to at least be 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.720 excited that there's a tension on the sport again because 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.840 on the because on the undercards of these fights there's 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.440 some real boxing mode. I mean, and like the actual 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.520 fights that we've seen so far haven't been like real fights. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.080 They've been more like exhibitions or right right right, you 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.320 know what I'm saying. It's like, you know, we get 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.080 in there, but the way that they train and what 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.119 they're prepared for that they really they're really fighting, you 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.480 know what I mean. They're not just taking pictures or 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.080 going to the gym and fucking warming up and looking 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.880 good like they're they're getting it in. Yeah, I think that, Uh, 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.000 that'd be crazy. So what what what do you think 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.920 would differentiate the PFL from Because you know, there's bellatour, 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.280 there's there's UFC. I would say those are probably the 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.920 big two, right right, But you guys got an ESPN deal, 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.360 which is automatically great because you know you've got eyes 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.399 behind it. But what what what kind of differentiates what 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.160 you guys do or makes what you guys do unique 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.520 compared to those two. It's more for the fighters and 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.200 for the fans. Not to say that take away from 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:07.359 any other corporation, but yeah, we just keep both in mind. 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.120 We want the fighters to make money as well as 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.399 game popularity, and we want the fans to get the 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.760 best bang for their buck. So you know, you have 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.280 your lower tier, you can start here, and then you 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.359 got your you mean, gets a little bit higher, and 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.360 then you got your top tier. So you're getting what 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.280 you spend your money on and what you spend your 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.320 time paying it. I do feel like that's one thing 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.560 we always hear about UFC is that the fighters kind 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:36.320 of get paid the fighters fairly. The fighters have issues, 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.560 they have yeah, yeah, yeah, because you'll see some of 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:41.159 these pay per view numbers and then you'll hear what 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:45.240 someone made who fought, and you'll be like, yeah, this happening. 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.800 I forget what the exact numbers are, but there's only 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:52.600 a handful of you know, those fighters who have actually 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.120 fought for a million dollars or more. And that's what 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.000 our main prize is is at the end of it, 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.320 you get a million dollars if you win andampionship. Oh 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:07.080 I mean Yeah, that's that's that's awesome. It's a no brainer. Trey, 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.080 hard Win and mill where are you at with music 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.160 right now? Because I feel like at this point in time, 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:16.200 you just do what you want. So sometimes we'll get 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.000 a random tape from you. Well, you know, you're you're 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:23.000 you're hopping on songs that with people who you fuck with? 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:26.800 Last year we got the EP, But like, what do 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.600 you how do you feel about I mean, by the way, 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.679 I love the fact Finally last year we got Cushian 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.920
