00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: is the most the most well liked man in all

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,920

Speaker 2: your life, including this show. Oh, this will be our

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: what a way to go out in a crazy year already.

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: Obviously there's a large elephant in this room. We'll be

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: getting too shortly. But Luke, welcome Monday morning here or

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning.

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Excuse me.

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: Great to see you again. I see you're letting that

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: beard grow very nice.

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to get into control because I've noticed

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: if I keep my beard trimmed, it doesn't itch with

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: a mask on. But once it starts getting a little uncomfortable,

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: that's usually the sign to like, you know, do something

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: about it. And I'm at that point, so I got

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: you're right. I actually have let it go to a

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: point where it's not serviceable anymore. So I'll fix that.

34
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: But we have a lot to get to today. We'll

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: talk about some of the controversy from Monday's episode, but

36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: there is a lot more than just that. We have

37
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: to get to our awards today. We actually there is

38

75
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: more episode. It will be pre recorded and it won't

76
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: even really be an episode. Normally we would have a

77
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: Friday show and we would do this on the Friday show.

78
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: We'll have a show for you. I think it'll come

79
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: out on Friday. The homework from Monday was to watch

80
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: the Michael Bay movie with Nicholas cage, Ed Harris and

81
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Sean Connery Rest in Peace to Double O seven called

82
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: The Rock. We're gonna react to The Rock. We'll have

83
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: a special episode for you coming out on Friday. So

84
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: if you have not watched The Rock yet, BC I

85
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: discovered this, you can watch it for free if you

86
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: have Roku. I put a new Roku like audio bar

87
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: underneath my TV on my Mantle and I was able

88
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: to watch it for free. You have to watch a

89
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: few ads, but it's unedited. Other than that, like all

90
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: the curse words.

91
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: Hey paid three ninety nine on Hulu for it or

92
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: no on Prime for it?

93
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: Last? Yes, yeah Hulu or ending now or whatever, it's

94
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: like three or four bucks. But there's a free option

95
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: from some folks out there as well. Okay, all right,

96
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: so we have a lot to get to today. One

97
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: note Brian, when I were supposed to drink, but Brian

98
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: felt it better to not do that?

99
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: Is it in bad taste?

100
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Luke?

101
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: After the controversy, the yes on it, but on the

102
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: controversy that is called my way not your away. Although

103
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: people are now actually the the uh, the pitchforks have

104
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: now extended to you, Luke. We're not for not taking

105
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: a public stand on this, but yeah, you know, I

106
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: don't think it's right should I be uh, you know,

107
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: pounding beers and getting white girl drunk? And uh yeah,

108
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: that's not a good one.

109
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: All right, Well that's probably fine. But maybe depending on

110
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: what time we record the episode for Friday, if we

111
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 1: can record at a time closer to the evening, would

112
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: you have a few beers, then.

113
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: It's very possible, Luke. Okay, if we just clear the air,

114
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: I mean yes.

115
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: All right, all right, So on Monday's episode, I tried

116
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: to do a rise in twenty six preview and my

117
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: preview was not very good, but partly it was because

118
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: my lovely co host over there, the Vana White of

119
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: this show decided that he was gonna have some fun

120
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: at the expense of Rizin. Now, since then it has

121
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: been dude, you got sent to hell worse for this

122
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: one than you did it for the Dana White video.

123
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: It's quite amazing.

124
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: This is like the Mike Perry hang up swear job

125
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 2: mixed with the Tyson Fury hanging up on me, mixed

126
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: with both Charlo brothers separately dropping f bombs on me,

127
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 2: all rolled into one. Luke Okay, I'm not trying to

128
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: victimize myself here, I'm just trying to point out that

129
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: I took it to the face. Luke Okay.

130
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: In the base, the blowback was strong. It basically falls

131
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: along two lines. One, you didn't want to cover the

132
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: event because you didn't think it was worth your time,

133
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: which is one kind of argument. Two the other one

134
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: little bit more of a problem, which was karate chopping

135
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: the air and saying the dude's name in a way

136
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: that could be interpreted as not the most racially sensitive.

137
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 3: All right, BC, floor is yours. What would you like

138
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: to say about all of this? This was a perfect

139
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: chit storm, and it's my fault. And I take full responsibility.

140
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: So let's get the most important parts first and foremost out.

141
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: Of the way. I am good, God, Am I sorry?

142
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: Got apologies across the board too. Everything I love, which

143
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: are people, the listeners, viewers of this show, the sport

144
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: of mixed martial arts Japanese MMA Risen, despite me sort

145
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: of you know, comedically attempting to frame myself as this

146
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: idiot neighbor who only watches you know, American boxing and

147
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: can't be bothered with Risen. I love Forsen. Okay, there's

148
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: a lot of things in there that were badly misconstrued.

149
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: Again my fault, So let me apologize for anything in

150
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: our shitty comedics, my shitty comedic segment that was construed

151
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: as as insensitive, racist, ignorant across the board. I mean

152
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 2: the fact that this escalated to the levels Luke of

153
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: the main eventor of Thursday's Rizen twenty six card tweeting

154
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: you and I and so respectfully, right, Kayasakura, so respectfully

155
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: being like, I hope you guys get a chance to

156
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: watch it and this will change your opinion and I

157
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: will do my best. Good God, was that awesome of him? Okay?

158
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: Did I block many of people who came at me

159
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: on Twitter. I did. I went to the Luke Thomas

160
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: playbook because it became a shit storm. There's a little

161
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: alarming how much it became a shit storm. But again, Luke,

162
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: it's my fault. So here's the deal. We do a

163
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: fun off the rail show here. The magic of this

164
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: show is that it's you and me and Jay, or

165
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: you and me and Gaff or Maniatch, our producers or

166
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: Mikey Morms or whomever, and it feels like it's just

167
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: us and the viewers right hanging out, having a beer,

168
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: cracking jokes, needling each other, and oh, by the way,

169
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: sometimes providing some really good preview review and out of

170
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: the combat sports game. But like any locker room talk

171
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: with you and your boys, things can be taken out

172
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: of context, misconstrued, or you can just say something inappropriate that,

173
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: if pulled out of there and thrown to the masses,

174
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: really can make you look like an asshole and really

175
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: can sort of change publicly what your attentions might have been.

176
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: And this is really what happened here, and again this

177
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: is my fault for maybe keeping this too much like

178
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: a boys club and not realizing that we have extended

179
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 2: our reach pretty damn far, and we do have major

180
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: companies behind us and sponsors and all that great stuff. So, Luke,

181
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: me shitting on Risen was not really me shitting on Risen.

182
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: You know what it was. It was a stupid bit

183
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: of me shitting on you. So I apologize for that.

184
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: This Risen car is fine.

185
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: You should always feel free to shit on me. It

186
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: is quite.

187
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, like this is here's what the equivalent of

188
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: this is. Okay, and I got it wrong, but here's

189
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: the equivalent. There's a really good boxing match this this Thursday.

190
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: It happens to take place in Japan. By the way,

191
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 2: it's a WBO super flyweight title. About the boxing hardcorees

192
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: are going nuts over it. It's Kose Tanaka on beat

193
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: in twenty five years old, moving up in wait trying

194
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: to become a four division champion against Kazudo Ioka. I mean,

195
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: there are people in the boxing world fired up. Luke.

196
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: If I came on this show and was like, good God,

197
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 2: this is gonna be awesome, I would almost expect you,

198
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: as resident stereotype MMA guy and hard nose a hole,

199
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: to be like, alright, BCEU and your boxing hardcorese can go,

200
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: you know, jerk off to this. I'm gonna be doing

201
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: important things like reading books and raising a family. This

202
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: was the equivalent of that this risen Man event is fantastic.

203
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: The rest of the card, though, I did look at

204
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: it and go, yeah, right, you know, it's not really

205
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: moving me all that much. I'm much more excited about

206
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: rying our Cluke Campbell. It's a little bit more on

207
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: my radar. Am I more the boxing guy than an

208
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: MMA guy? Sure? But I'm also not ignorant to MMA.

209
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: Good god, I mean, I don't want to pull the

210
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: sword and read you my resume. But it goes back to,

211
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 2: you know, pretty damn far. I was playing out a

212
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: bid against you, Luke, almost like, oh, you're overly excited

213
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 2: for this. Here take this crap. I'm gonna read the

214
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: Arnold Swarzenegger book. The problem along the way was that

215
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: I never thought that thirty seconds would be pulled out

216
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: and thrown out there as American, prominent American journalist craps

217
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: all over the Risen car No prominent American journalist craps

218
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: all over his co host, And that was my fault.

219
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: The real issue was the me imitating the great Japanese announcer,

220
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: stereotypical voice, which, good God, frame the way it was,

221
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: and frame the way all these people came at me

222
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: on Twitter. Yes, it looks horrifically racist in hindsight, I

223
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: apologize for that. Do you know what? It was me

224
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: celebrating something awesome about the Japanese culture, about New Japan

225
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: Pro wrestling, something I've been diehard fan of for the

226
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: last few years. All the Japanese MMA I've watched through

227
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: the years, the passion of the announcer which reads the

228
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: names and goes nuts and you know, you just listened

229
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: to that, you want to go yeah, So I kind

230
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: of went yeah, like that And in hindsight, does that

231
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: look like Mickey Rooney and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Unfortunately, Luke,

232
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: it did. God Am I sorry for that. If you

233
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: know me the person as you do, Luke, Yeah, that's

234
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: that's That's not the lay. And I'm trying to take

235
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: that packaged with a bit that made me seem very

236
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: ignorant to all things risen mma. I had so many

237
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: Japanese MMA journalists, fans, fighters coming at me, Andre Sukamath

238
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: coming at I mean, everybody coming at me and rightfully.

239
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: So if the only snippet you saw was that thirty seconds,

240
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: so I need to be more knowledgeable of that. I'll

241
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: sit on that. But I got improperly framed, Luke for

242
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: the whole. I've got nothing against Asian's line, which was

243
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: ill placed, but really that's a long bit of you,

244
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: and I'm making fun of President Donald Trump who always

245
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: says I have many black friends. After saying something, you know,

246
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: inflammatory or whatever. It was ill placed, packaged together, it

247
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: looked really bad. I take the L. I apologize if

248
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: I block.

249
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: You on Twitter.

250
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: It was really because the shit storm was getting overwhelmed

251
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 2: and I was really shocked at how far this stuff

252
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: can go. But you know, it's a wake up call,

253
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: so I'll take that L was my fault. I was insensitive,

254
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: you know what. It's hopefully there's a good that come

255
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: from this. Hopefully people will now open their eyes to

256
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: this risen card and be excited about it. And oh,

257
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: by the way, I did care about the main event,

258
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: and I do love horror Gucci and have watched many

259
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: of his fights. So I did frame myself as ignorant

260
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: ahole factory town American opposite you there, Luke for a

261
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: stupid bit. I apologize. I'll take the l you could. Unfortunately, Luke,

262
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: take any snippet of thirty seconds from the history of

263
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: you and I being on microphones together. Your constant hatred

264
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: of my people, I could put out there on the

265
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: internet and we could probably shut you down. But I know, Luke,

266
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: it's a bit. It was a stupid bit.

267
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: Now when you say your people, do you mean whites?

268
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you are very inflammatory against what But I

269
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: really meant, I really meant my fellow Christian soldiers in

270
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: this game, Luke, who you just can't give the benefit

271
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: of the doubt too. But that's fine, Luke. I don't

272
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: hate you for it. And anyone who's coming at Luke

273
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 2: saying why didn't you come out and make a statement

274
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 2: because it was a stupid, shitty little thing there. Okay,

275
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: I did the announcer voice out of celebration like they

276
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: are awesome. I get that it was misconstrued.

277
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

278
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 2: I don't think we need to go too much deeper

279
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: on this, Luke. I will be watching the Risen fight.

280
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 2: I will also be looking at going out of my

281
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: way to check out who wins the Tanaka Ioka fight,

282
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: which is just as good, by the way, in terms

283
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: of fights that hardcore fans want to and need to see.

284
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: By the way, where is that boxing fight airing?

285
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 2: Not in the US? Unfortunately, there is a Japanese subscription

286
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: service that you can get a trial for for like

287
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: three ninety five, like a three day trial, and that

288
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: will allow you to watch it, But unfortunately it's not

289
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: gonna air in the US. And it's a great fight.

290
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: In every New Year's Eve, just like Risen does you know,

291
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: there's usually a big boxing card as well, and these

292
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 2: two specific fighters, I don't think they've fought in twenty

293
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: twenty since the last New Year's Eve, so it's a

294
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: big deal. It's a big fight. I'm not who you

295
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: thought I was. I get why you thought I was

296
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: who you thought I was, and I apologize. But from there, Luke,

297
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: can we stop with the you know BCU is an

298
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: ignorance slut all along and Showtime only hired him because

299
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: he's the boxing guy and this guy hates MMA and

300
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: he wouldn't know a fight if Connor McGregor wasn't in

301
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 2: it like that mixed with the uh, with the uh

302
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: you know you hate everyone who isn't white? Talk? Can

303
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 2: we just get past that.

304
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: Please, this is we certainly can't. I mean, I just

305
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: the only thing I would add to this is I

306
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: take BC at his word. I know who he is

307
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: when he said like you'll note he didn't apologize about

308
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: the Dana White stuff because there was nothing to apologize for, right,

309
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: But in this one, you know, Listen, we're trying to

310
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: do a show that we want to be remembered for

311
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: our best stuff, not our worst stuff. But in the

312
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: attempt to sometimes do a mix of levity and everything else, Listen,

313
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't always work, and when it doesn't, you

314
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: got to own up to it. And I don't have

315
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: to add anything out about it. And Brian, Brian did

316
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: a great job and he'll be fine. But listen, Brian

317
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: is one of my best friends in the business, one

318
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: of my good friends, I think generally, and when he

319
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: is when he says things like this, I absolutely take

320
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: him at his word. I don't think he has any

321
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: malice whatsoever in his body. I hope you understand and

322
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: that he is a student of the game. In fact,

323
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: all he's ever tried to ben in his life is

324
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: somebody who gets by on knowledge and passion and everything else. Listen.

325
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: Someone was making fun of us on the internet BC

326
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh, it's two guys in their

327
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: forties trying to relive their nineties, like the nineteen nineties.

328
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yes, but in an ironic way, like

329
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: we don't actually think we're cool or edgy enough to

330
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: do that. We're just trying to have a little bit

331
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: of fun. But to the extent that we air in

332
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: either direction on this, we have a whole segment called

333
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: dead Wrong, where we ask the audience to hold us

334
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: to account. It's part of what we do here.

335
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was dead wrong. I was dead wrong. I'll

336
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: take care there.

337
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's it. I don't think anything else has

338
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: to be said. People wanted me to come out and

339
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: condemn you. No, I'm gonna let Brian have us say.

340
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: See what he says, and then we'll go from there.

341
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm fully satisfied with everything you had to say because

342
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: I know you don't mean any malice. You did trip up,

343
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: you tripped over your skit. You got me.

344
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: Whad should I say I have nothing against Asian people,

345
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: because I was expecting you to say what You're not

346
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: gonna watch this because you're racist? It was a shitty comeback, Joe.

347
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. It's the it's the listen.

348
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: If we should be granted the ability to make the

349
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: attempt at levity, if it doesn't work, then we also

350
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: have to acknowledge it didn't work. And that's what we're

351
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: doing here.

352
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: Final question, and I mean seriously, because because this is

353
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: a good teaching moment for all of us, me included

354
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: for my ignorance. There can you imitate someone's voice without

355
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: being racist? I mean, I watch Sean Connery say well,

356
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: welcome to the rock and that's a horrible impersonation last night,

357
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: and I must have said it seventy five times after that,

358
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: and then I threw my kids' names in it. And

359
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: then I was like, welcome to the bathroom. And I

360
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: was really going, does that mean I'm you know, I mean, like,

361
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: am I against Scottish people? Now? No, I'm celebrating a

362
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: sort of fun thing there, all right.

363
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just everything has to be I don't want

364
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: to do a show that's careful, but I'm not trying

365
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: to do a show that's like shitty to everybody else,

366
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: which I'm sure you feel exactly the same. And so

367
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: there was just listen. It could have been communicated a

368
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: lot better. That's really the long and short of it.

369
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: I think the one thing I would say is, I

370
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: do think that there's a you know, I said this

371
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: before on Monday, and I'll say it again. They're listen,

372
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: I'll throw them a bone here. Japanese Mma fan, they

373
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: love what made and to an extent still does make

374
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: Japanese Mma a little bit different. The pageantry, it just

375
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: feels something like it's removed from the normal North American sensibilities.

376
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: It's often in this one will be in a ring,

377
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: for example. So a New Year's Eve is like the

378
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: most hallowed part of that tradition and used to be

379
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: a really a big tradition, and it's fallen on hard

380
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: times for a lot of different reasons. And so going

381
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: after them on their most special day and occasion, even

382
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: if it's not as big as it once was, they're

383
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: gonna be sensitive about it. I think they're a little again.

384
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: The comments about like the karate chopping the air and

385
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: shit simparate from that just about the fight itself. You know,

386
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: they're a little bit uptied about it if you ask me.

387
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: But I will say it also deserves to be reiterated

388
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: here and credit to Kias Sikora, who tweeted us for

389
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: crying out loud. That main event is legit. It's super

390
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: super legit. If you're into that kind of thing, there

391
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: are other gems down the cart. Your mileage may vary

392
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: on that, like Brian's and eyes. I mean I like

393
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: a little bit more than he does, but not too

394
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: much more. It's not that whole thing is not necessarily foreign.

395
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: So just on the arguments about the fights, you have

396
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: to recognize where the legitimacy is. That main event is

397
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: as good as anything and better than most you would

398
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: see in North American mma. Beyond that whatever, I acknowledge it,

399
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: but I think on those things they got a little

400
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: bit uptight about it. What killed UBC And you've already

401
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: answered it. We don't have to go back over that

402
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: was the two step between that and the imitation. But okay,

403
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: you know, I think we clear that up, and so

404
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: let's move on from that. Obviously, you have been a

405
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: rough couple of weeks in your household, but you know what,

406
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: tell you something. Spotlight's on you, buddy. People are aware

407
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: of what you're up to.

408
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a wake up call. You know, it's

409
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: a wake up call. It's a positive wake of call.

410
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: So thank you, thank you to everybody who constructively criticized.

411
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: And yeah, you know, you got to own up to

412
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: what you say, Luke. And while you know you can

413
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: do a boys club show and you can take fun

414
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: shots at each other, not everybody's in on the metajoke

415
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 2: from episode to episode.

416
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: So let's remember that that's exactly correct. All right, Well

417
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: that out of the way. Let's now move on. And

418
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: by the way, we will do a recap of it

419
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: on I guess Monday show. But for now, let's talk

420
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: about something else that was in the news BC, and

421
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: then we'll get to your Garcia and Campbell preview. But

422
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: first things first, comes out Shamaia was supposed to fight

423
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: next well I know, well, yeah, next month, but in

424
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Basically on that I forget what show.

425
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: It was either the Wednesday or the Sunday show.

426
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: It was the Wednesday one, which, by the way, Luke

427
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: started to interrupt, you has a preliminary start time of

428
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: nine am Eastern, which is like, yes.

429
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: Oh that is awesome. We might have to do a

430
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: different morning combat that day, so we can react to

431
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: the show afterwards. We'll figure it out at that point.

432
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: But he's out now. We don't really know why he's out,

433
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: although he did in the week leading up he was

434
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: posting with pictures with him with a UFC belt and

435
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: now he's out. You know, not necessarily the best karma

436
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: to do that kind of a thing, but whatever. I

437
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: hope he's okay, whatever the situation may be. BC, your

438
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: reaction to one comes out chamiav not being against Leon Edwards,

439
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: and two, Leon Edwards made it explicit he is still

440
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: looking to be on that car to BC, I got

441
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: it say. If anybody deserves to get something right at

442
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: the beginning of twenty twenty one, after this shit they

443
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: had to eat in twenty twenty, it's gotta be Leon Edwards.

444
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: Your reaction.

445
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Risen fans number one and it's Leon Edwards

446
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 2: number two.

447
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 4: Here.

448
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: Look, it's tough to see this fight fall park because

449
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: it's like the second time you got all ceatased for it.

450
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: Let me sanitize the show moving forward. Here you got

451
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: a little CTS action and it got taken away from you.

452
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: We need to find out really badly it comes out

453
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 2: on that level. Can Leon beat the company's new favorite

454
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: toy to get to the title. What's not gonna happen?

455
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: So yes, I want to give Leon Edwards really every

456
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: possible biggest name, Like, look, who are they gonna put

457
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: in there opposite him? He should stay in the main

458
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: event and he should get the fight he has deserved

459
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 2: up to this point, not the title fight. If you

460
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 2: think he deserves title fight, look you got an argument,

461
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: but I don't think he has. I don't think he's

462
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: beaten enough guys really proven in that top five are area.

463
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: But he does deserve a giant, top five type name

464
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 2: to prove to you that he's ready in his next

465
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: fight to extend that wind streak into the title chase?

466
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: Can we just put him in there with Jorge Masviital

467
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: Probably not in short notice, really bad idea, not for

468
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: a Wednesday in between regular TV fight night, But he

469
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: needs a name on that level, Luke, is there anyone

470
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 2: that we can say it on two weeks? No, So

471
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: you might as well want to take him off the

472
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: cart altogether. Am I right?

473
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: Well, if he doesn't want to, then I think you

474
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: have to at least acknowledge the wish, which means who's available?

475
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: Neil Magni raised his hand Vicente, Luke wants another crack

476
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: at him, and there was somebody else as well, forget yes,

477
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: yes it was another one. It's like, dude, those are

478
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: not like, those are not bad choices. Any of those three.

479
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure like what it gets leon other

480
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: than through the finish line to say I got a fight,

481
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: I got it done, it all happened, which is, you know,

482
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: he wants to get paid. Probably at this point, I

483
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: would imagine that's a concern as well, So it gets

484
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: you that and those are quality opponents. But I think

485
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: in the case of Luka, he already beat him once before, right,

486
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: so that doesn't do a whole lot for him. Magni

487
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: is an interesting one, and Kyes, I think is a

488
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: very very interesting one because the way Kiosa could fight him.

489
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: Of those three, which one do you like the most?

490
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: I like the Kisa fight. If this is just you

491
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 2: know Edward saying I'm training, I'm ready, give me the

492
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: main event, spot like, give me a chance to beat

493
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: a name so then I can call a bigger name afterwards.

494
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 2: And Luke, maybe this satisfies that I've been saying, Look,

495
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 2: he needs a top five names so we can leap

496
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 2: into that higher picture. Maybe just being willing to save

497
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 2: the card for the UFC will give them that. If

498
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 2: he fights somebody like Kisa, I mean Good's that's a

499
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: very reputable name at this point, that would be a

500
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: very good fight on paper. I'll go for that one, Luke, Okay,

501
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: I'll go for that one. And if Leon Edwards wins that,

502
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 2: then you're you're at the table. You're at the table

503
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 2: where the next time we go to figure out, after

504
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: Usman finally fights Gilbert Burns, who's next, you're gonna have

505
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 2: an argument to either be next, or maybe to get

506
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: Mazvid I'll or to get something that rewards you for

507
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 2: the wind streak you're on. You know, he hasn't been

508
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: marketable enough to put forth to to have his critical

509
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: success equal his commercial. But I think we've beaten that

510
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: horse a little bit too much. Okay, I mean what

511
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 2: else does you know? I mean, he's not he doesn't

512
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: hurt himself marketability wise, right, He's not like making you

513
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: not want to watch him. He's a great fighter. So

514
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: at this point, let's give him the chance to hold

515
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 2: that main event spot get that spotlight, and if you

516
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: can get a win here. Yeah, you're right there, You're

517
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 2: right where you need to be.

518
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: My power rankings would be Kisa one, Magni two, and

519
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: LUK three. And the only reason I would put UK

520
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: three is because they already fought each other, which would

521
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: make it a rematch interesting if it happened more organically,

522
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: but just to kind of force it, it doesn't appeal

523
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: to me as much as a fresh matchup. The Magne one,

524
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: I do think would be kind of interesting. Magne's rangey,

525
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: he has great cardio. He could make it a five

526
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: round main event, I think, without any kind of issue, right,

527
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: because this is supposed to be a main event fight,

528
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: I believe, so there's a lot of ways where I

529
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: think he might be the most appealing option, But I

530
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: don't know what UFC is gonna do. I hope that

531
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: if if in fact, as he's as indicated, Edwards wants

532
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: to stay on that car, they can find a way

533
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: to accommodate him, because that poor guy has just been

534
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: through the goddamn ring. Okay, now it's listed as January third,

535
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: b s. I'm looking at these odds here. Maybe you

536
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: can correct the record, But there is a big boxing

537
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: fight coming up in fact with a guy who's not

538
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: some kind of you know name that fans are sort

539
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: of expected to know by virtue of their tenure in

540
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: the sport. No, this guy's an Instagram star. He's out

541
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: there in viral videos. I see on YouTube constantly all

542
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: the time, doing crossovers with other people his age. Ryan Garcia,

543
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: who might be the future of Golden Boy, if Golden

544
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: Boy can hang on it all. Certainly now with the

545
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: departure of Canila Alvarez, he is their Golden Boy takes

546
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: on Luke Campbell. BC set this up for us. Who

547
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: are these two and why is this about so important?

548
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 2: Okay, this is a great fight, a lightweight bout. It

549
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 2: was supposed to happen in December. It got moved last

550
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: minute when Campbell got hurt. Did he get hurt? Did

551
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: you have a COVID test? I forgot COVID.

552
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: He's back COVID.

553
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's back and he's ready. Here's the deal. You

554
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 2: know what this fight is. If you're looking for a

555
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 2: UFCMMA equivalent, this is comes out Chamaiah versus Leon Edwards.

556
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: It really is only in boxing things get stretched out.

557
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 2: Ryan Garcia didn't. Isn't an overnight sensation. We've been talking

558
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: about him for a couple of years, but you know,

559
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: in boxing it takes a little bit longer to get

560
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: to this point. But this is his big close up moment.

561
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 2: If kam Zat Chamaiah went out there and beat Leon Edwards, look,

562
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: we'd be like, holy crap. The kid, the overnight sensation

563
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: is ready now for the title level. Frian Garcia, who

564
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: I have named many times as one of the five

565
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 2: sort of pillars who have next in this sport, twenty

566
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: two years old, if he beats somebody on Luke Campbell's level,

567
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 2: like we're having a different conversation Sunday morning. This fight

568
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: is Saturday evening on his own, and because Campbell's a

569
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: big star in the UK, Luke they're starting the main

570
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: card early. I believe it's six pm Eastern. Is when

571
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna see either the main event or the main card.

572
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: Check your local listening the main car. The main card

573
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: itself starts at three, so your main event a couple

574
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: hours after that. Yeah.

575
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, shout out to Eddie Hern

576
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: his own in Oscar de la Hoya for that a

577
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 2: six pm Eastern start on that. But you asked me

578
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: to lay out what this fight is. Here's the deal.

579
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 2: Luke Campbell super elite at one hundred and thirty five pounds.

580
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: He's thirty two years old. He won a gold medal

581
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: for England in that star tastic Olympic class that got

582
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: a lot of people in the UK excited about boxing.

583
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 2: He's got three pro losses. But here's the deal. He

584
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: lost to Ivonne Mendy in a really tough night early

585
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: in his career by split decision. He had a bad

586
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: night at the office. He went back and avenge that loss,

587
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: and by the way, Mendy's still pretty good. He's not

588
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 2: a bum. Number two he lost to Jorge Lenaris by

589
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 2: split decision, like five days after his father died in

590
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: a pickham action fight that could have gone either way.

591
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: And his other lost Luke to Vasilio Loomachenko. But if

592
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: you remember, Campbell kind of put it on him early

593
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 2: and had some great moments. So Campbell super elite at

594
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: this point. We're gonna find out right now what Ryan

595
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: Garcia has. Is he just you know, five million Instagram

596
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: followers and a lot of shirtless picks of him singing

597
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: and hitting the bag in the quick hands, or is

598
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: he legit and the real deal. Here's what I've loved

599
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: about the build to this fight. Ryan Garcia kind of

600
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: knows his place now on Golden Boy. As you mentioned,

601
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: they also have unbeaten walts Waite, Virgil Ortiz Junior, who

602
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: also looks to be a future star of the sport.

603
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 2: But with Canelo gone, Ray guy's the face of everything

604
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: that Oscar and Golden Boy's gonna do now. And you

605
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: know what he's acting like in this build. Not a

606
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: pretty boy, an absolute badass Luke. His quotes have been like,

607
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be the best fighter in the world for

608
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: the next era. I'm gonna knock Luke Campbell out cold.

609
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 2: He doesn't respect me. I'm gonna break his bones. He's

610
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: got nothing for me. I mean, there's been some kind

611
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: of I mean, look, it's just talk. But up to

612
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 2: this point, Ryan Garcia has been all happy, go lucky, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

613
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: Like no, he's serious now and that change, I think

614
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: means something. Each of his step ups. He has looked

615
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: fantastic since joining forces with Canelo Alvarez his trainer Eddie Renoso,

616
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: they have sort of ironed out the defensive holes that

617
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: he had. His hand speed, is blazing fast. He's got

618
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: power because of that speed, great combination puncher, and Luke

619
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 2: First of all, Luke Campbell should be our favorite fighter

620
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: because it's two of our names together. But he says

621
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: after he knocks out Luke Campbell that he's going right

622
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 2: at Dravonte Davis and he predicts a knockout. He thinks

623
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 2: in the next two years he's gonna be able to

624
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 2: fight Dravante, Devin Haney, and Teo Fimo Lopez Junior, which,

625
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 2: by the way, those are four of the five guys

626
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 2: that have next in this sport, along with Shaquer Stevenson.

627
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: He's ready, there's no holding them back. But Luke Campbell

628
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 2: is a southpaw who's tough. He's big for the weight class,

629
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 2: he can box, he's got great technical ability, and probably

630
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: one of two things are gonna happen here, Luke. Either

631
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: RAI guy is gonna be all that in a bag

632
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 2: of chips and stop this guy midfight and we're all

633
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: gonna be like, holy crap, like make fun of him

634
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: all you want. He's got next. This guy. This is

635
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: an overnight like we must take him seriously or this

636
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: is gonna be a really close, difficult fight that goes

637
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: the distance, and Ryan Garcia needs one of those, because

638
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: Luke Campbell is the underdog, but he he's got much

639
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: more experience. He's the better technical fighter. He is a

640
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 2: live dog in this one to win it. And I

641
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: cannot wait to see what this looks like. This is

642
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: very very much like somebody like Jemaia or Kevin Holland

643
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: going skipping the line and going right up to the

644
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: top at the title level to find out if they

645
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: are the goods. Luke Campbell is the guy that's gonna

646
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: you know, he's the perfect not gatekeeper, not elite gatekeeper,

647
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: He's the perfect title contender right there. You beat him,

648
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: you can call out a guy like Jervonte. We can

649
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: get closer. And I'm making this fight great matchmaking. Let's

650
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: do this.

651
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the only thing I would add you,

652
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, whatever MMA analogy you want to make, the

653
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: one that I think of is less about a fight,

654
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: but more about a guy who had positioned himself in

655
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: a certain way, which is Michael Chandler. You know, Michael

656
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: Chandler coming from Bellatore, who should he fight this guy,

657
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: that guy, this guy, that guy? And he says, either

658
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: I am the guy, I think I am or I'm not,

659
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: But either way we're going to find out. That's what

660
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: this fight offers to you. And again a little air

661
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: on his own. Three pm. It starts in the UH

662
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: in the East, and it will take place at the

663
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: American Airline Center in Dallas, Texas. I'm assuming with limited fans,

664
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna be fans of this one.

665
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 2: But you know what, yeah, there will be. There's a

666
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: couple of thousand that they're planning.

667
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, gonna be a little bit. Gonna be just COVID

668
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: Central up in that bitch. Huh.

669
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: Well, you know we tech that cove Luke Texas forever

00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: street right, they don't get they don't care. Come on, bro,

671
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: they really don't give a We might as well embrace

672
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: Texas because we ain't getting big boxing fights in twenty

673
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: twenty one unless they're in Texas in a giant ass dome. Okay,

674
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: so that we better get used to this, Luke. Doesn't

675
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: mean you have to go there though, by the.

676
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: Way, Yeah, well thank god. Uh okay. Well that's it

677
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: for us for legitimate news stories, so to speak. So

678
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: now we see we have to do our awards, do

679
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: we not?

680
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: We do first, real quick. Mikey Garcia, the great three

681
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: division champion of boxing. He's the younger brother, of course,

682
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: of the you know, future Hall of Fame trainer and

683
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: former world champion Robert Garcia. They did lose their mom

684
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: this week, Luke, due to COVID. Uh. Just want to

685
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: give some condolences out to the Garcia family about one

686
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: of boxing's best families. By the way, and salt all

687
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: the earth type people tough to see that. But yes,

688

Speaker 2: this is not only episode one hundred, Luke, and we

689
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: do have some bonuses off of that plan for the future.

690
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: But it's award season, so we got a mixture of

691
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: the comedic, the ridiculous, the good. No racism at all

692
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: in this one, Luke, So I'm pretty excited.

693
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: Good. A racism free award show are usually the ones

694
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: that people tend to like. All right, BC, you can

695
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: get you can go first. I'll just set up the

696
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: award name, but then you go through and tell the story.

697
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: You would like to give an award for deadbeat matchmaking.

698
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: Yes, look, in boxing you can see all different kinds

699
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: of matchmaking, and boy did we see it. In July

700
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: to Zone put out a card Golden Boy promoted fighter

701
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: Sinissa Estrada, a very talented world champion in the smaller

702
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: weight classes. Luke, do you remember when she fought that

703
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: soccer mom and it lasted seven seconds in the first

704
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 2: round and she's lily.

705
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: She literally walks over just like this and then knocks

706
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: her the fuck out bop.

707
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god. That was uh yeah, look I get

708
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: where we were in quarantine. We were trying to get

709
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: back in the ring, trying to stay busy, trying to

710
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: put on these Eddie Herne backyard cards, you know, or whatever,

711
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: and uh wow, this was uh, this was a little

712
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: bit gross, Luke. She basically fought you know, I would

713
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: I would insert my uber driver joke, but instead she

714
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: fought that you know, the lady who gives the orange

715
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: slices at your at your daughter's soccer match, Luke. Okay,

716
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: I mean to.

717
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: They literally went to Planet Fitness and found the fittest

718
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: person there and we're like, hey, would you fight a

719
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: pro boxer? And that's what you got.

720
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: And she got sent to hell, Luke, worse than I did,

721
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: by by by half of Japan. Rightfully so, by the way,

722
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 2: but yeah.

723
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: Wow, yes, she got sent to hell by all of

724
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: the world. I mean this is this was ugly as shit.

725
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: Seven seconds. I mean the bet you know, the best

726
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: part was that it was seven seconds. But good lord,

727
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, how what commissions say this?

728
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: By the way, Uh, let's see, this wasn't an Eddie

729
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: Herdon backyard party, right.

730
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: This looks like you said.

731
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 2: Was this in California? One of the like the the

732
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: uh Indio California, like that casino with no crowd? This

733
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: might have been fantasy fantasy springs because this may have

734
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 2: been Luke in a sorry Native American not Indian. Good

735
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 2: what are we doing here, Luke? Shout us down already.

736
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: This might be a California State commission thing. It might

737
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: be a Tachi palace type deal. I'm not really sure.

738
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: Heinze, well, whoever did it screwed the poocha on this one?

739
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: Good lord? That is that is? That is Yuga leu.

740
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 2: Our next award h least appreciated? Is this moment of

741
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: the year?

742
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: Is this?

743
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: Figure? What do we got here for? Let you know,

744
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: a lot of things get under the radar terms of appreciation.

745
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: Jay's producing ability not one of them, by the way, Luke, Okay,

746
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: but shout out to uh. This entity that was underappreciated

747
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty.

748
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: Well, there's two of them. The first one, of course,

749
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: will be my actual YouTube channel. BC lufts slander it

750
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: like he does many things, but the reality is one,

751
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: it's taken a major back seat. But two, it taught

752
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: me everything I know about YouTube, which has really aided

753
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: our efforts over their ed Morning Combat. So for all

754
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: of the insults that you have hurled my way and

755
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: towards the beautiful channel that I have cultivated, and yet

756
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: now let the weeds grow in the garden because I'm

757
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: an asshole garden dad about it all, I just want

758
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: to say it has actually been one of the more

759
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: beneficial things that I've put together. Although I got to

760
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: change the serious sexam thing at the top of the

761
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: head of there because I no longer work with him.

762
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: But in all seriousness, BC, that was more of just

763
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: a thing I wanted to do to needle you and

764
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: to insult you and get you angry. The real thing

765
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: that I want to say was least appreciated, if I

766
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: can say that. Josh Emma versus Shane Burgos, We've always

767
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: talked about fight of the Year and which direction it

768
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: would go. The two big choices I think for a

769
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: lot of people where Pourier versus Hooker, and then of

770
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: course you'll versus Janguay Lee.

771
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 2: But figure Rato Moreno.

772
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: That's another one too. But the week prior to poor

773
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: Ye versus Hooker was that Burgos versus Emmitt fight, which

774
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: was an absolute cracker of an affair, and I saw

775
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the year it just did not

776
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: get the praise that it deserved. I don't think that

777
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: it deserved to be put on the level obviously of

778
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: those two five round fights, it was only a three

779
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: round fight. I think it ended before the end of

780
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: the third after to go and check the result again.

781
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: But you know, it was just also this wild back

782
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: and forth and Emmett was you know, super injured and

783
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and it was, you know, crazy striking.

784
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: These guys were fucking killing each other. Just a little

785
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: bit of a shout out to two guys who are very,

786
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: very good featherweights who maybe got a little bit ignored

787
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: when award season came that I thought deserved a little

788
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: bit of an extra you know, tip of the cap, so.

789
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: To speak, tip of the tip, right, just for a.

790
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: Tip of the tip, that's right, Uh, BC, we go

791
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: to our next award for boxing, What was your fight

792
00:35:59,400 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: of the year.

793
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 2: Look, I don't think there's a debate on this. I

794
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: think boxing ko of the Year you can get a

795
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 2: hell of a good debate going. But Fight of the

796
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: Year you gotta go to the top rank Bubble MGM

797
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 2: Grand Conference Center, October ESPN. That one hundred and forty

798
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: pounds thriller between Jose Zapeta, Ivan Baranchik Luke. Five rounds,

799
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: eight knockdowns. Zapieda got up off the canvas four times,

800
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: including twice in the first round. Let's remember Jose Zepeda.

801
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: They call him shoon. He's a counterpuncher, He's a classy boxer.

802
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 2: He got dropped twice in the opening round against the

803
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: former world titleist. Had to get up and become a brawler.

804
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: Got dropped twice more, including right before the knockout. And

805
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 2: he got up and he sent Ivan Baranchick to the

806
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: deep dark depths with a knockout of the Year contender.

807
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 2: That was brutal. Here it is good Lord, oh my God,

808
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 2: got him on the snap the leg back. Here was

809
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: a fighter Luke who found himself in hell, found himself

810
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 2: in the deep end of the pool, but he kept

811
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: swimming and this was a beautiful fight. It wasn't a

812
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: title fight, but you know, it catapulted. The winner certainly

813
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 2: toured a world title. And it was just one of

814
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 2: those special Gatty Ward type nights where a rocky movie

815
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 2: broke out in front of you and you were like,

816
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: I don't care if you like boxing or if you

817
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: hate it, call your friends, turn on ESPN right now,

818
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: you're watching something special breakout. And you know, you never

819
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 2: know what fights like this can do to take off

820
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 2: years in their lives. But these guys were warriors on

821
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: this night and would not be denied until one was

822
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: removed from their consciousness.

823
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: And you, guys, you and Rafe did a podcast on

824
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: the whole thing because you were so moved by it. Correct.

825
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a boxing hardcore hard on from here

826
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: to Hanover, Luke.

827
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: Good Ward, how far is Hanover? Like five inches?

828
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: It's only about two inches, Luke from the floor.

829
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Well we've had a unanimity on this one. I

830
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: had no better choice, certainly than BC's, so I echo

831
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: everything he says about this Epadon and Branchick fight. He

832
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: was the one who put me onto it because I

833
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: did not actually watch it live. I had to go

834
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: back and watch it, and it was you know, I'm

835
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: one of these sort of cynical bastards. And someone's like, oh,

836
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: you should go back and watch it. It's great. I'm like, eh,

837
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: how great? Could it be? Pretty great? Pretty great? In fact,

838
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: if you're an ESPN Plus subscriber, I believe it's accessible

839
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: to you right now. And if you've not seen it,

840
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: he's right. Five rounds, eight knockdowns. It's fucking insane. So

841
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: go to check that out now. BC. The next one

842
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: is also your award as well. It's Blue Balls of

843
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: the Year BC, to whom do you donate your blue balls?

844
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: People might misconstrued where I'm going with this award, Luke,

845
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 2: but what it really is is the single fight across

846
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: combat sports that we were most insanely excited for that

847
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 2: completely failed to deliver. It turns out, Luke that Dana

848
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 2: White was was correct, and and I'm sorry he was

849
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: incorrec because remember the matchmakers told him don't book this fight,

850
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: but he did it anyway. It was UFC two forty eight,

851
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 2: it was March. It was Israel out of Sonia defending

852
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: the Middleway title against Joel Romero. Luke, I was like

853
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: Dana out there telling anyone who would listen to me

854
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 2: on a microphone that this was gonna be the best

855
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 2: fight of your lifetime, that Romero was gonna put out

856
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 2: of Sonya through a deeper level of hell than Gastolom did.

857
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: And we were gonna find out can you swim against

858
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 2: this rock, this man that that he's built out of

859
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 2: cast iron, not skinning bones. Luke, I don't think any

860
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 2: of us expected Joel Ramera to come out and try

861
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: to like uh, you know, bob and weave and and

862
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 2: fight negative and oh, by the way, like I'm not

863
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: gonna rip him for this. This was his strategy. And

864
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 2: I thought he won the fight three rounds to two.

865
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 2: He ended up losing a close decision. And I don't

866
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 2: think Dan ever got over this because he didn't deserve

867
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: this opportunity, right, He had been coming off three losses,

868
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 2: questionable ones, but three losses. Dana basically said, ad Asnya

869
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 2: wants to fight you, he's going out of his way

870
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: to prove his manliness. I'll give you that chance. And

871
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 2: this was Joel's moment and and and he didn't do it, Luke.

872
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 2: He you know, he almost back doored it. But this

873
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: was not the action fight it should have been. In

874
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: many ways, we were dependent upon Romero coming forward and all. Also,

875
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 2: let's like, let's say this. I love ada Sonya, you

876
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 2: love Audust, you got you c KB for life, brother, Okay,

877
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: But I felt that he took an unnecessary chance in

878
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 2: not putting his stamp on this fight. He could have

879
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 2: lost this decision.

880
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: Luke.

881
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 2: You know, you put three different judges and there he

882
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 2: could have lost this, and I feel like he got

883
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 2: away with one on this night. Maybe you're maybe you

884
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 2: could tell me I'm wrong. Maybe it was smart for

885
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 2: him to stay on the outside, but he got kicked

886
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 2: in the face early and he never really came forward.

887
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 2: He kind of did enough to kind of, you know,

888
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 2: work from the outside. Did he have a guy unwilling

889
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: to fight him, Yes, a guy who was fighting a

890
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: negative style, but this was supposed to be a war looke.

891
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: I was wrong. Two counter strikers. I was wrong. Okay,

892
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 2: I'll take that out, thank you, Rizzy.

893
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: It's not exactly true that Adasign is a counter striker,

894
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: which I showed in one of the episodes of Dissected.

895
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: So it's worth pointing that out. I mean he can't.

896
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: He does a lot of counter striking, that is true,

897
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: but I don't know that it's correct to describe him

898
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: as that kind of a fighter specifically. But I agree that, like,

899
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: relative to the hype, what did you get with this fight?

900
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: Not a lot. Now, the good news is Adasanya afterwards

901
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: goes out and absolutely puts it on paul A Costa

902
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: in a way where the fight is so dominant that

903
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: in a way it almost didn't deliver because you thought

904
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: it'd be a little bit more back and forth. But

905
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: at least there was a finish and one guy was

906
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: landing and blah blah blah. Like there's many ways you

907
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: could look at that as a oh, he made up

908
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: for what happened in the Romero fight, so that I

909
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: think all is well, ends well for Auto Signia and

910
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: then for Romero. I mean, I didn't want to see

911
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: him necessarily cut from UFC, but going to Belatore and

912
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: what they're trying to put together could be a blessing

913
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: that you didn't maybe in disguise or something. There's a

914
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: lot of ways where both guys have a lot of

915
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: opportunity going forward to do the right thing. And again,

916
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: Atta Signya already really did with the Coast to fight.

917
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: To me, it's like I really forgive aut A Soignya

918
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: because you know, yes, I'm a fan of his work.

919
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: I think if you're not, something is wrong with you.

920
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: But more to the point, he, as you indicated, did

921
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: not have to take that fight that was supposed to

922
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: be the cost of fight, which they couldn't make on

923
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: time and then they had to push it back until

924
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: a later date. He took on an unnecessary risk, which

925
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: is exactly what you want to see from champions who

926
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: really believe that they're the best. It didn't live up

927
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: to it, but then he rebounded right afterwards with an

928
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: incredibly dominant performance. And you know, I do think that

929
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: the fight was close, as you argued. I just have

930
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: a hard time being like Romero cleaning won. You know,

931
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: if any it was close, but if anyone deserved to win,

932
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 1: it to me was out of Soignia.

933
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: It's the kind of thing where if you're Romero, I

934
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: could say I thought he won, but he can't really

935
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 2: argue any kind of screwjob because you know, he didn't

936
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 2: bring the fight, and either did out of Sonya, right

937
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 2: they I mean, it wasn't as bad as Enghanu and

938
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 2: Derek Lewis, But uh, yeah, it was what it was. Luke,

939
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: Just real quick, though, did you have the same expectations

940
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 2: I did? Like I, I was there and I had

941
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 2: one of those feelings, like you know, remember I was

942
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 2: at two thirty six, so I saw Autosanya Gastulum and

943
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: Pourier Holloway back to back, and it was one of

944
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 2: those like what a gift to my fandom. I was

945
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 2: here on this night, sitting in the John Morgan seat

946
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: in an orange shirt, not a blue one, and I

947
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: thought I was going to relive that with this fight.

948
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,879
Speaker 2: God was I wrong. Did you have those intentions coming

949
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 2: in as well?

950
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I think I did as well. I think

951
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: all of us did. I thought for sure it would

952
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: just open up in a certain way that it just

953
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: never did. They never. It was a lot like Pedroizzo

954
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: and Rico Rodriguez. Now that that was really two counter

955
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: strikers in a very clean way, but they just couldn't

956
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: find a way to get the other guy motivated to

957
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: do the thing that they wanted them to do. And

958
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: sometimes fights are like that. Sometimes that's not anybody's fault,

959
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: you know. Sometimes that's just what you get based on

960
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: how these two guys want to assess risk and find

961
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: a way to win. So you know the award is deserved.

962
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: But both guys, I think, still have a lot of

963
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: fight life, and obviously in the case of at Asignya

964
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: especially so some life left in them. All right, So

965
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: we go down to one of my awards if we can.

966
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 2: Most can I set it up to you, Luke, it's

967
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 2: most conspiratorial of twenty twenty. And there's a lot of

968
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 2: people to choose from if you're a big MMA fan, Luke,

969
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: because these MMA fighters they're speaking my language here.

970
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny. I've been reading studies at night about

971
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: how many ordinary Americans, relative to how it used to be,

972
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: are believing conspiracy theories, and it is a extraordinarily high number.

973
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: But if there is anyone in MMA who takes it

974
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: to the next level, I like the guys this is

975
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: not I mean, I wish he had different beliefs, but

976
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a bad guy in any way,

977
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: shape or form. In fact, I think he's a doting

978
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: father and probably a wonderful person. But boy, my man

979
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: loves some conspiracy theories. No, it's not Eddie Bravo. No,

980
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: it's not even who's the guy who tore his nutsack BC?

981
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: Bryce Mitchell was a Bryce Mitchell Toreszach I believe Yeah, No,

982
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: it's not either of them. In fact, it's Jared kennan Ere.

983
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: And if you don't believe that, check out his Twitter

984
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: feed and in particular his likes. You can go through

985
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: you can see like tweets, photos, media, whatever, uh, and

986
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: then you can click on their likes. My man has

987
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: gone all the way down the rabbit hole on this

988
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: kind of a thing, and he has entered a world

989
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: that frankly I don't necessarily understand BC, but it's a

990
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: lot of QAnon stuff. He's tweeting at Barack Obama that

991
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna get him, that they're gonna arrest him, and

992
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: a lot of other things.

993
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 2: Crystals, the crystals told him to right.

994
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: Oh. The crystals thing, to me is the most normal

995
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: thing about some of his other broader worldviews. I know

996
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: a lot of folks do. By the way, this was

997
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: another thing during the pandemic, people getting interested in rocks.

998
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: And I don't mean in a geological way necessarily.

999
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 2: Like count them rocks.

1000
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just interested in rocks. To me, I don't

1001
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: find rocks in that way all that interesting. But if

1002
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: you are, if you want to see someone again, this

1003
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: is I love Jared. He's a great dude, you know,

1004
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: but my man has bought into conspiracy thinking honestly in

1005
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 1: a way that I don't think any other MMA fighter has.

1006
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: Spike Carlisle kind of dabbled with it the TV Fighter,

1007
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 1: the Ginger Ninja, but he got a little he see,

1008
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: he treaded towards the anti Semitic side, which Jared has

1009
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: not done. And then Spike had to pump the brakes

1010
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 1: and then apologize, so he kind of went out of it.

1011
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,919
Speaker 1: Jared is on the QAnon. Let's get the pedophiles thing,

1012
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 1: you know. So you still got something of a something

1013
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: of a wholesome worldview, I would say a little bit,

1014
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: but except.

1015
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: You're seeing this in MMA. Ronda was controversial at some

1016
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 2: point too.

1017
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: Remember yes, she put out the video, No, she put

1018
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: out a tweet or something being like, you know that

1019
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: the shooting at uh in Connecticut. What was the kid's

1020
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 1: place where they killed all those kids, Sandy Hook? Yeah, yeah,

1021
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: Sandy Hook, you know, look into it like, uh sorry, Ronda, No,

1022
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: there's nothing to look into.

1023
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm certainly not going to stand up

1024
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 2: here for the Sandy Hook conspiracy. I just want to

1025
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 2: say somebody's saying look into something, it doesn't mean that

1026
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 2: there batchit crazy should be locked up, Luke. Okay, have

1027
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 2: we seen enough government secrets? I mean, let's look at

1028
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 2: the plot line of The Rock right. It was all

1029
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 2: based on exposing government secrets. Okay, thank you.

1030
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: It's also a fictional movie designed by Hollywood for maximum entertainment.

1031
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 2: So can I tell you a good story about crystals

1032
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: real quick?

1033
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: Yes? Please? They make good They make good burgers.

1034
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: You think I'm a good You think I'm a big

1035
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 2: time trash panda. Have you ever hang out with one

1036
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,000

00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: I think I think you want to fuck Brett o Kamodo.

1040
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: More than any no, I just including.

1041

1044
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 2: the rental car, and you know, we're working together at ESPN,

1045
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 2: And I'm like bro I gotta get some of this

1046
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 2: Atlanta fast food, right. We don't have these type of

1047
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 2: chains up north. We're driving down the road, we come

1048
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 2: up on a Crystal. I'm like, Brett, go through the

1049
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 2: drive through. Bro, we're gonna rock it. It's gonna be great, right,

1050
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna eat the crap out of this.

1051
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: We get up to the window, Luke, this man is driving.

1052
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,439
Speaker 2: I order six things off the dollar menu. I haven't

1053
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: seen a fast food place that has like mozzarella sticks,

1054
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 2: like wings, like they they had all kinds of the

1055
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 2: burgered crazy stuff at this place. I ordered six things

1056
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 2: off the dollar menu. Brett O Kamodo refused to eat

1057
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 2: anything from there, Luke, because you know, he's so like

1058
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 2: salady and in shape and stuff. And he not only

1059
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: was disgusted by my order, he passed them across through

1060
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 2: the window with just such like disdain and displeasure and

1061
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: had to open the window as we were driving to

1062
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 2: get the smell out of the car. Look, I'm just

1063
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 2: trying to sample the local cuisine of Crystal. It was

1064
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 2: fan freaking tastic. I had six different amazing items off there.

1065
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 2: This guy's like, I am not hanging out with you anymore.

1066
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: And at some point did you spill coke on his

1067
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: crotch and then offer to clean it?

1068
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 2: By the way, Atlanta has great food, best break best

1069
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 2: place they eat a good ass breakfast in this country, Atlanta, Georgia, thank.

1070
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: You, Yes, it does have a good good food. Crystals, dude,

1071
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: Crystals used to be. I gotta tell you this is

1072
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: a It sounds like a sad story BC, but it's not.

1073
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: I'll make it very quick.

1074
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 2: When my mom passed my body at all, yeah, keep going.

1075
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: When my mom passed away, we had to go and

1076
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,959
Speaker 1: settle some of her affairs at the at the court

1077
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: of the it was the courthouse or it was some

1078
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: administrative building in Georgia. And I remember, you know, this

1079
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: was not a great time, and the weather was nice,

1080
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: and we were out there with the town square. If

1081
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: you don't think, I'm married to George. So there's this

1082
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 1: little square next to these train tracks, and right by

1083
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: it was a crystals and me and my sister and

1084
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 1: my brother were like, you know, we were not having

1085
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: the best day of our lives, and we were like,

1086
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: what could make this day better? And I think it

1087
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: was my sister she was like, why don't we just

1088
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: go to crystals, so I let them stay in the park.

1089
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: I went over and got I must have gotten fifty

1090
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: of those little burgers that they make and lean over

1091
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you, you know, serious things in

1092
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: your life are not gonna be helped by fast food indulgence.

1093
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: But it definitely made the best of a bad situation.

1094
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: I will never forget. That was some of the best

1095
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: fast food consumption I've ever had in my life.

1096
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: Did you got fast food high? You know that like

1097
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 2: three or four minute high you get right after just

1098
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 2: consuming way too much fast food beef before it sets

1099
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 2: in and you want to take a coat hanger and

1100
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 2: repurpose that food and get it out of you. That

1101
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 2: three minutes so fantastic, Luke right, it's gotta be like

1102
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: the first the first hit a smack, right right.

1103
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, but smack must be the shit because

1104
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: people love it, all.

1105
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, white people love it, Luke wow.

1106
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: I certainly do. Okay, BC. We had a mutual agreement

1107
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 1: on this as well. Fight of the Year at MMA,

1108
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 1: What is it?

1109
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 2: It's very easy. I forgot what UFC card it was

1110
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 2: earlier this year. It was Yuanna Young j Chech Wailey Jong. Look,

1111
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 2: am I saying that name right? I don't want to

1112
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 2: be ignorant anymore.

1113
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: Okay, we don't have to overdo it either. I'm mispronounced.

1114
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 2: No, I'm serious, I'm serious. I got I got made

1115
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 2: fun of this on the Aaron Bronstenter podcast. It's it's

1116
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 2: Young Wayley, correct.

1117
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: I think that's right. I think that's right.

1118
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you to these incredible, incredible warriors. Luke, this

1119
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 2: is the greatest female fight of all time, greatest fight

1120
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 2: of this year. And again I was lucky to be

1121
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 2: front row that this job affords, and I was not

1122
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 2: only humbled is not the right word. And we have

1123
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 2: reference to this in the past, but Luke, being this

1124
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,919
Speaker 2: close to war like, this was not a fight. At

1125
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 2: some point in about round four, the stop being a fight.

1126
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: This was a war of attrition, a test of wills

1127
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 2: where neither we're going to back down until like that

1128
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 2: zepaid a branch fight, one finished the other, only it

1129
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 2: didn't happen. And while it didn't happen, Johanna's body was

1130
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 2: just I mean, going to epic alien proportions. Their willingness

1131
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 2: to keep that hillacious pace to not say, you know,

1132
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 2: to never say die, to never take put on the

1133
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 2: brakes and keep coming at each other. It puts you

1134
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 2: in that weird spot as a lover of fights and

1135
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 2: a journalist when you're this close to the action where

1136
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 2: you are afraid of what is going to happen next,

1137
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 2: and you know, it was very similar to the first

1138
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 2: Mark Hunt Giant Silva fight and where you're you know,

1139
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,439
Speaker 2: Bigfootsilva where you were just like, somewhere around round four

1140
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: you're like, I don't think we should have five round

1141
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 2: fights because these guys might kill each other. There was

1142
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 2: moments in that, at least for me this close seeing

1143
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 2: Joanna's head sitting right, you know, near her corner. Wow.

1144
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 2: This the reason why it wins against all the others

1145
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 2: Luke is because it was for a title, but because

1146
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 2: the pace never wilted, now did it. It didn't have

1147
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: crazy character moments that we love in front of the years,

1148
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 2: meaning one didn't get knocked down and almost out or

1149
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 2: nearly submitted, didn't have to come back. It was largely

1150
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 2: a stand up war of two trains that just kept colliding.

1151
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 2: But again, the pace and the will shown by both

1152
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 2: and when you consider that we were looking at this

1153
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 2: as Yo Wanna's last stand at the title level. Now,

1154
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 2: we don't know where she's gonna go from here, right,

1155
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 2: she's like thirty three. We don't know where she's gonna go.

1156
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: But this was looking looked at as sort of her

1157
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 2: last chance to prove that she's of this level. She

1158
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 2: was of this level, and then some you scored the

1159
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 2: fight for her. I had it for way Lee very close,

1160
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 2: but you know, Jong way Lee was just that much better.

1161
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 2: And for a young champion to have to be put

1162
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 2: into this type of hell and to live up to it,

1163
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 2: what a humbling night at the office. I will tell

1164
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 2: just as well as I will tell my grandkids one

1165
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 2: day that I was at you know, at Asanya Gastelom

1166
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 2: and Victor Ortiz, Andre Berto won and all these great

1167
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 2: fights I've been lucky to be at or near in

1168
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,240
Speaker 2: the building. Being in the building for this was different

1169
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: than all those and it was special. And I'm glad

1170
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 2: they're okay, Luke, because there was a will in the

1171
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 2: air that said, this is not a sport anymore. We're fighting.

1172
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 2: Where are if we are? This is Karate Kid Part two? Right,

1173
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 2: It's not a tournament. Daniels song. We're in Okinawa right now. Okay,

1174
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: you know we want to go full circle on these

1175
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 2: Japanese things, but we're in Okanawo right now. This is

1176
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 2: not for tournament, this is not for sport. This is

1177
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 2: you know, they were going for it, Luke, and credit

1178
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,479
Speaker 2: to them for doing that because it created this gray

1179
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 2: area which is dangerous and fun and scary and we

1180
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 2: lived that ride.

1181
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: Luke.

1182
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 2: I'm sure you saw this and felt this through your

1183
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 2: TV screen back in what February was.

1184
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: This mm hmmm. Yes, I was not there because CBS

1185
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: I was not working with them, and they did not

1186
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: fly me out, and you know, lots of other things,

1187
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: but you know, there was a lot of consternation and

1188
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,879
Speaker 1: debate about why this should or shouldn't be number one.

1189
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: And one of the things you look at is I

1190
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: think one of them exceeded. It may have been you

1191
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: want to but I can't remember, but they they either

1192
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: exceeded or were nearly at Each of them attempted four

1193
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: hundred significant strikes in the course of five rounds, which

1194
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 1: is just unheard of. In the case of Party and Hooker,

1195
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: they were sub three. A lot of other ones are

1196
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: mostly sub three events. I mean, even in that fourth

1197
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 1: let'scise be that fifth round. They were combined for nearly

1198
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: two hundred significant strike attempts between the two of them,

1199
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: which is to me a big difference, right when you

1200
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: end the fifth with that amount of volume. I mean,

1201
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: you u see UFC fights where guys that are like

1202
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: going pretty hard at it in the course of three rounds,

1203
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: they don't even have an accumulated one hundred significant strike attempts.

1204
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: And you know, we have almost two hundred in one round.

1205
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a shocking level of output. And you

1206
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: could say, oh, well, how much does it matter if

1207
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: you're not hitting each other that hard? But they were

1208
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: badly beaten up. You want to j check was disfigured. Now,

1209
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 1: I did think she deserved to win, but I can't

1210
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 1: complain because it was very, very close, very hard. It's

1211
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: always hard to judge when there's not much offense and

1212
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: when there's a shit ton of offense, and here you

1213
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: had the ladder of the two, and so it can

1214
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: be really hard to parse exactly what mattered the most.

1215
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: The leg kick, for you want, it didn't seem to

1216
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 1: count as much in the judge's minds as some of

1217
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: the body work and some of the head hunting that

1218
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: Jang had done. And that's okay that you can understand that.

1219
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: So it's a very fair way in which it was

1220
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: all adjudicated, given what we we sort of know and

1221
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: can understand about the fight game. But you just have

1222
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: to take your hat off to it. I mean, it's

1223
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: such a demonstration of the growth of the women's game,

1224
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: such a demonstration of the globalization of MMA. And she

1225
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: had this Chinese fighter, and she had all these fights

1226
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: on like the Kunlan circuit. You're like, okay, I've definitely

1227
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 1: heard of them. They've done some good stuff. How good

1228
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: could she be? Yo? Very very good? And she's probably

1229
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: for the next twenty thirty, forty fifty years BCE probably

1230
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: going to be the tip of the iceberg if they

1231
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: can really develop that Chinese market. There are a ton

1232
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,760
Speaker 1: of good athletes there, there's a ton of martial arts tradition,

1233
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: and there's a ton of hunger. I think to compete

1234
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: on the world stage and getting what you got with

1235
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,959
Speaker 1: Jiang y Lee was probably a prelude to a much

1236
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: more ambitious and successful future for China.

1237
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 2: And look the boon for women's MMA, like you know,

1238
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,959
Speaker 2: I mean, look look at the troubles women's boxing has had,

1239
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 2: not just being considered legitimate, but really your criticism overall,

1240
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 2: which is putting out fights that deserve being considered legitimate.

1241
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: Women's MMA not only went from nothing to really formidable

1242
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: and good. But you know that was five ten years ago.

1243
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 2: To have fights like this though, that where you're like

1244
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 2: forget you know, those great male fights we saw this year.

1245
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 2: This is the best fight of the year, is the

1246
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 2: best fight of all time. I mean the we've seen

1247
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 2: where we can compare the craft of women's MMA favorably

1248
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 2: to men, but now we saw one where we saw

1249
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 2: the will and the gruesome action of it. I mean

1250
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 2: this again, the fighting spirit of these two. I'll never

1251
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 2: forget that moment, Luke.

1252
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, with that in mind, we move on. BC.

1253
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: I'll set you up for this. You had, you had

1254
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: a moment of the year, But it wasn't. It wasn't

1255
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: a moment inside the case, was it.

1256
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't, Luke. It may have been inside some

1257
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 2: people's uh pakajo, inside their satchel page there, but uh, luke,

1258
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 2: uh the moment of the year in combat sports took

1259
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 2: place on Instagram and involved former you know, women's MMA

1260
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 2: pioneer Gina Corano. No, it wasn't a teaser or a spoiler, Luke,

1261
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 2: for Mandalorian season two, which I'm halfway through, and you know,

1262
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 2: loving it despite your discredit to fan service, Luke, Gina

1263
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 2: Carano surprised her legion of thirsty MMA fans with a

1264
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 2: topless photo that Instagram made her takedown. Luke. Uh, you

1265
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: discredited the joy people having it right afterwards, Luke in

1266
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 2: a very questionable way still to this point. But uh, Luke,

1267
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 2: it was a moment, okay, And wow, I love it

1268
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 2: when like we can't even get the highlights to a

1269
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 2: showtime fight that we're referencing that you know, and butt

1270
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 2: put new toy up there on the MK screen. Go

1271
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 2: for it. That's fine, producers, Luke, this was something. It was.

1272
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 2: It was a great moment, Luke. What a time to

1273
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 2: be alive for all those thirsty MMA fans out there.

1274
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: Most the most overrated moment of the year by a

1275
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: million miles, buy a million miles?

1276
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 2: All right? All right?

1277
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: Look, well, MMA fans have been thirsty after Gina, who, yes,

1278
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: is a attractive person, but the amount of attention that

1279
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: they spend on like how attractive they claim her to

1280
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: be is like not proportional, I'll put it that way.

1281
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: And you know she puts out this racy photo, which

1282
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: is fine, nothing wrong with it. But you know, all

1283
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: you nerds and virgins like Colby Covington accuses you of

1284
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: being you know, can't get five feet without having an

1285
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: embarrassing boner on your way to the bathroom. It's like,

1286
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, what are we doing here? Folks? You know

1287
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 1: you gotta get it together?

1288
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: Wow Wow, Wow, Luke, can't you just say the goat?

1289
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 2: Thank you? Can't you just do that? I mean, do

1290
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 2: you have to? Like now you have to turn on

1291
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 2: all the people that watch our show, Luke, Okay, now

1292
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 2: you got to turn on all I mean, look god.

1293
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it's it's nice. It's it's okay, it's nice.

1294
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh, like like you guys, are those creeps

1295
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: on the back of the bus with the trench code on?

1296
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: You can't help yourself. It's like, it's not that cool.

1297
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 2: It's pretty damn cool, luc It's pretty head cool. You

1298
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 2: know this award isn't It doesn't touch me personally. I

1299
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 2: didn't touch myself. This is to the this is the

1300
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 2: salute to the MMA fan Luke, Okay, thank.

1301
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: You, Yeah, all right, very good. Uh you have to

1302
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: say up the next one.

1303
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Luke, we have another award. It's it's the Award

1304
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 2: for most Helpful in twenty twenty. Luke, what does this

1305
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 2: award mean?

1306
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna give it to something that it's gonna

1307
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: sound like. Please don't cancel me, because obviously it's not

1308
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: about the more serious effects. But it was about something

1309
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,919
Speaker 1: that I thought maybe I should have changed the title

1310
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: to like clarifying to late now becaus gonna put the

1311
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: lower third on there. But I'm gonna give it to

1312
01:00:58,880 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 1: the coronavirus.

1313
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 2: Now understand, helpful, Luke, This this thing has killed many

1314
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 2: of people.

1315
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, don't. I don't mean to please understand. I

1316
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: do not mean helpful in the sense that the damage

1317
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: it has caused, which has been enormous and been disruptive

1318
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: and calamitous for so many across the world, not just

1319
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: in this country. I don't mean it in that sense.

1320
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: Helpful in a different sense, b see, which is to

1321
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: say it has been very, very clarifying. I feel like

1322
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: through this time, at least inside MMA, there were tiny

1323
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 1: little rifts, a little little separations between people, between groups

1324
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: between entities.

1325
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, inside of it in the media on the other.

1326
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Luke, that's one example of it. That's one example of it,

1327
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: but there's many other ones. And what the pandemic did

1328
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: was it set into motion the acceleration of those differences,

1329
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: which I'm not necessarily happy about, but it was very clarifying.

1330
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: It was very clarifying to see who takes the coronavirus seriously,

1331
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: who doesn't. It was cifying to see who believes in

1332
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories who doesn't. It was very clarifying to see

1333
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: who thinks the media serves a valuable function and who doesn't.

1334
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: And you could go on and on and on and

1335
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: on and on down that list, which mma media folks

1336
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: are cowards and didn't want to speak up when it

1337
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: was their time to speak up. It was clarifying. You

1338
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: could go and find any number of different issues related

1339
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: to that that the coronavirus set into motion. So certainly

1340
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm not happy about it. It's been a disaster for

1341
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: so many people. I'm here sitting in my goddamn office

1342
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: and can't go and do anything by virtue of this.

1343
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: And I've had it good during the pandemic, and to

1344
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 1: say nothing of you know, for example, the Garcias who

1345
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: have lost somebody and and Karl Anthony Towns lost seven

1346
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,479
Speaker 1: loved ones during the coronavirus. All of these things are.

1347
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 2: Senator or not senator? That politician at forty year old.

1348
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: Forty one years old, the Louisiana Fifth House District was

1349
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: to be sworn in on Sunday and he died from

1350
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. And the coronavirus has been a calamity in

1351
01:02:56,360 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: everyone's life. But but it has also revealed major differences

1352
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: in these various communities in which the community grappled with

1353
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: how to deal with it. That I feel like we

1354
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: kind of knew was there, and now we know for

1355
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,919
Speaker 1: sure is there. Pick your side, because they're very very

1356
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: clear to pick at the oh.

1357
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Luke, this is nothing helpful about the coronavirus.

1358
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: A different title.

1359
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 2: If this helped you realize who's really who? I mean,

1360
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 2: look what you know going on at the same time

1361
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 2: of the coronavirus was, you know, the Black Lives Matter

1362
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 2: movement and a lot of things that also opened the

1363
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 2: eyes of us and saw what line, you know, what

1364
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 2: side of the fence were on in terms of I mean,

1365
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 2: you know, not my Japanese FOPOD notwithstanding, of course, but

1366
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 2: you know I will Yeah, I guess I get your point, Luke,

1367
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 2: I just don't want to, you know, be a I mean,

1368
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 2: can't we just I mean, we saw two giant melons.

1369
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 2: I'll give an award for that. I'm not giving an

1370
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 2: award for this, Luke.

1371
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah it's not I mean, you know where these

1372
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: are not really awards awards. They're just kind of like

1373
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: moments to note thing. But okay, we can move on,

1374
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: all right, all right, BC, I'll set it up. I'll

1375
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: set it up for you here Again, we had unanimity

1376
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: that we had easy unanimity on this one fighter of

1377
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: the year in boxing BC speak for us here. I

1378
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: did not think this choice was especially difficult.

1379
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, it's been a very weird and hard year

1380
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 2: for boxing, right because you know, there's a lot of

1381
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 2: cooks in the kitchen. It was as easy as Dana

1382
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 2: White made it look to just come back and make

1383
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 2: great fights, right. And we saw a lot of great

1384
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 2: fighters have one performance. We saw a lot of big

1385
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 2: name fighters not fight at all in boxing, or fight

1386
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 2: once against stay busy, you know, forget full events. So

1387
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 2: in some cases you're looking at who had the best

1388
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 2: win to become your fighter of the year. But I

1389
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 2: think when we'll look back on twenty twenty years from now,

1390
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 2: we'll look at it as the rise of Tayo Femo

1391
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 2: Lopez Junior, the twenty three year old unified or maybe

1392
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 2: even undisputed depending on your knowledge of boxing politics, lightweight

1393
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 2: champion who said he was going to go out there

1394
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 2: and take on the powfer pound king Vasili Lomachenko and

1395
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 2: do everything him and his dad said they would. Okay,

1396
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 2: they didn't knock him out, but they went out there

1397
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 2: and they beat him in a close but clear decision

1398
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 2: in one of the year's best fights in terms of

1399
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 2: drama and needing to see it, and certainly I think

1400
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 2: the performance of the year. I mean, you go out

1401
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 2: there and you beat a guy who so many had

1402
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 2: his number one pound for pound for years, and do

1403
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 2: it not with one big punch because you're the younger, bigger,

1404
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 2: stronger guy. Go out there and become a problem and

1405
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 2: outbox him, out box the best boxer some people thought

1406
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 2: of this era, right, maybe the greatest amateur boxer of

1407
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 2: all time. You've made a giant statement. So even though

1408
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 2: Tayo Fema only had one win in one appearance. I

1409
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 2: think he's your Fighter of the Year because there's no

1410
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 2: other win. And I think number two in the voting

1411
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 2: is probably Tyson Fury for that for claiming he was

1412
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 2: gonna knock out Deontay Wilder and then doing just that.

1413
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 2: But there's really no other win in this category. Those

1414
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 2: guys who had had nice years. Aerol Spence came back

1415
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 2: with a big win, Joe Smith Junior at light have

1416
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 2: youeight won a world title out of nowhere and knock

1417
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 2: people out? But lukeh, this was Tao's year, and you

1418
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 2: know that sometimes that happens. You look back, you know,

1419
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 2: you know who won MMA in twenty eleven, Well, that

1420
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 2: was John Jones' year, right, you know in twenty twenty

1421
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 2: in boxing, that's Tayo Femm Lopez's year.

1422
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many things you could say about

1423
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: this win. It wasn't a rematch like the Tyson Fury one,

1424
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: where Tyson Fury had twelve rounds to sort of figure

1425
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: out Deontay and what worked and what did and this

1426
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: was your first go Obviously, the results of the second

1427
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: fight with Fury was a lot more dramatic, but Nevertheless,

1428
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: it was a second crack. This was not this was

1429
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: the first one. And you had a situation what I

1430
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: told you about we discussed at pre fight BC, which

1431
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: was some guys, man, it doesn't matter what combat sport

1432
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 1: it is, they just jump off the screen. And Tayo

1433
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: fem Lopez was that guy to me when he was

1434
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: hitting people, you know, with behind the back shots and

1435
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 1: knocking out folks within a round that he was not

1436
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: supposed to even beat. You know, there was just this

1437
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: real ability to rise to the occasion and incredible athleticism,

1438
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, Lomachenko coming out to the Matrix theme and

1439
01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 1: Matrix shorts and this huge reputation, and from the word go,

1440
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 1: Lopez was totally unintimidated, not intimidated even a little bit,

1441
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: knew he could win, went right after it. And then

1442
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: when Lomachenko began to rally in the second half of

1443
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 1: that fight, Lomachenko got bodied basically in that twelfth round

1444
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 1: by Lopez, who just made sure whatever little moment he

1445
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: might have in the second half, it's not going to

1446
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: be enough to take this fight for me, ended it

1447
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: with authority as the better man. I just thought it

1448
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 1: was one of those moments where you know, you're just

1449
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: not going to see a guy capture this kind of

1450
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: titles with these this kind of an uphill climb against

1451
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: this kind of an established figure on this kind of

1452
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: a stage. And remember it wasn't even on pay per view.

1453
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: They did the right thing and they put it on

1454
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: network television. Man, what a win for Tayo Femo Lopez.

1455
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. And by the way, speaking of you know, your

1456
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 2: MVP of all Combat Sports and twenty one, let's give

1457
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 2: ESPN that credit. Shout out for them putting a few

1458
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 2: extra dollars in the pot and putting that on regular

1459
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 2: television because that's the type of win that the masses

1460
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 2: deserve to see a break out star moment, and Tao

1461
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 2: Femo had that so very enjoyable. Uh.

1462
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 1: OKABC, With that in mind, we have to set this

1463
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: up now. You actually were better about making this happen,

1464
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 1: So why don't you walk us through it.

1465
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 2: We wanted to put out an award Donk of the

1466
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 2: Year for Morning Combat in twenty twenty. What's a donk, Well,

1467
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 2: it's Luke's uh sort of salute to the donkey ass

1468
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 2: followers of our show. But it's really, uh, we've got

1469
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 2: some impactful, consistent loyal viewers, subscribers to what we do

1470
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 2: who have become contributors in a lot of way. Why

1471
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:38,600
Speaker 2: do we have segments like fan submissions Because one specific

1472
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 2: guy went out of his way to love our show

1473
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 2: so much and share his gift and talent with us

1474
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 2: to start a revolution. So it was pretty clear to

1475
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 2: Luke and I when we looked across the board of

1476
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 2: many people who had big years in supporting us, and

1477
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 2: by the way, unsung heroes like people with great Twitter

1478
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 2: accounts like you know Couposa or or or Tim Boxao

1483
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,679

1488
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,719
Speaker 2: the inside jokes we do and putting them to great

1489
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 2: pieces of art. Luke, this man has been so valuable

1490
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 2: and loved and adored in this sphere for his handiwork,

1491
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:48,320

01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 2: Scream and the best, the best of the group, you know,

1526
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 2: arguably as well. I mean really the you know, look

1527
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 2: at it, look at this handy work. Luke, very nice

Speaker 2: you for giving back to us and supporting us so often,

1531
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,879
Speaker 2: and thank you, Luke obviously to all of our viewers, listeners,

1532
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 2: even the people that hate us for helping us get

1533
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 2: to where we are. Episode one hundred a century Mark Luke,

1534
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 2: all right, who would have thought, right?

1535
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Pretty pretty amazing, pretty amazing? All right? So wetna just

1536
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:12,479
Speaker 1: want to throw it to me or right? Let me

1537
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 1: just set it.

1538
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 2: Up here, Yeah, Luke, we each have our own picks

1539
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 2: for MVP of twenty twenty LVP Least Valuable Player of

1540
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Let's start positive, Luke, who is your MVP

1541
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 2: of Combat Sports in twenty twenty.

1542
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to CBS Sports And I know

1543
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: that sounds like, oh, he's kissing his own bosses asses,

1544
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 1: what sort of I guess I am, because they made

1545
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: this all possible, like we would not be doing the

1546
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: show on a Wednesday as we're doing it right now.

1547
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: We're not for them now. Of course, I have to

1548
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 1: give it to Showtime as well and the folks at Malka,

1549
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of players involved, but the engine

1550
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 1: behind it all was our mutual boss here and PORTLYBC,

1551
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: who had this idea of a dream for morning combat,

1552
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,600
Speaker 1: not just a three day week podcast. But you know,

1553
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: when the world gets a little bit back to normal,

1554
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:00,639
Speaker 1: do it a little bit more road work and building

1555
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 1: upon what shows can be inside Combat Sports, folks have

1556
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 1: only seen just a little bit, a tiny sliver of

1557
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: it because the pandemic has made it what it is, unfortunately,

1558
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: but that will not be forever. That is not a

1559
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: lasting thing. It will be a lot more. Hopefully there'll

1560
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 1: be some belt or stuff that we get a chance

1561
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 1: to do some UFC stuff too, and you know, we'll

1562
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: see how it all goes. But I'm not sure whether

1563
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,839
Speaker 1: we're showing you know, Oh, I guess the CBS Sports

1564
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 1: is the television channel. I've met the company, But okay,

1565
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: either here nor there, you get the IDEABC somebody made

1566
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: a commitment that allows this thing that we built to

1567
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 1: grow into what it can be. We still have barely

1568
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 1: scratched the surface, but at least we are full time

1569
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: multiple days a week and slowly starting to hit the road,

1570
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: at least with some of the more showtime boxing stuff,

1571
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: which is great, but again also just a little bit

1572
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 1: of what it's going to be. So gotta give shout

1573
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 1: outs to the folks have made it all possible.

1574
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 2: Timing is everything, CBS opened the checkbook and said, you know,

1575
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 2: we want to expand on what's going on, and they

1576
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 2: wanted to bring you on and look, if people aren't

1577
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 2: even people love Morning combat still have no idea what

1578
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 2: CBS Sports HQ is our live twenty four to seven

1579
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 2: streaming network that Luke and Iron all week getting you previewed, reviewed,

1580
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 2: recapped all that on all things combat sports. Luke's a

1581
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 2: big part of that. It's gonna be a lot more

1582
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 2: as Luke t's down the road in the future, you know,

1583
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 2: think of like lot incredible live coverage. But it was

1584
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 2: a perfect storm. Timing is everything that the Viacom CBS

1585
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 2: merger happened, that that combat Sports played such a big

1586
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 2: role in that that CBS Sports became one and one

1587
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 2: with Bellator MMA, that showtime Boxing is you know, poised

1588
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 2: to have a huge year. So Luke everything being everything, Yes,

1589
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 2: it's this has been fantastic. When we launched MK one

1590
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,759
Speaker 2: day week Mondays in the Bomb Shelter, I was excited.

1591
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 2: I was optimistic. I was you know, cautious. I was,

1592
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 2: you know, hey, one day, one day down the road,

1593
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,959
Speaker 2: if this thing can stick, I'd love to be basically

1594
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:54,799
Speaker 2: like you know, five days a week, which we almost

1595
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 2: really are right now, we're three days live. We hit

1596
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 2: you with enough bonus around that where it's basically MK

1597
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 2: all day, nearly every day. But to see CBS Sports

1598
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 2: come come again on board as they have and make

1599
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 2: you a a you know, a co worker of me

1600
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 2: day to day, Luke, it's been it's been awesome. I

1601
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 2: never would have guessed it would happen that fast, and

1602
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:15,560
Speaker 2: I was shocked when I originally got the call. I

1603
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:18,879
Speaker 2: remember I was in Vegas at the Conor McGregor Cowboy

1604
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 2: Fight and I got a call from one of our

1605
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 2: supervisors that's like, you know, you think, look at Luke,

1606
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 2: Thomas would be interested if we went after him. You know,

1607
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 2: it's a join what we do here. And I was

1608
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 2: just like, Wow, this thing's really gonna blow up. So

1609
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:33,639
Speaker 2: as much as we want to shout out CBS Sports, obviously,

1610
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 2: Showtime was the label that paid us and Brian Daly

1611
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 2: and all the great folks there who came up with

1612
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,679
Speaker 2: this idea, who are still fueling us and have great

1613
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 2: plans for us for the future. But yes, Luke, thank

1614
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 2: you for shouting out CBS Sports. It brought you and

1615
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 2: I together. If this is our last episode based on

1616
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 2: everything that happened and risen, then I will say it

1617
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 2: was the most fun time of my career.

1618
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: Yes, and I can go back to my personal YouTube

1619
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 1: channel and till you forever.

1620
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 2: Thank you, Luke, my MVP of Combat Sports in twenty twenty.

1621
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 2: I almost offer it with lament because of how much

1622
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 2: I've been sent to hell by this man recently. Luke,

1623
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 2: but regardless, we are truth tellers in this space, and

1624
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 2: horny Combat probably would not have had the success it

1625
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 2: has had this year, and maybe we wouldn't even be

1626
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 2: rolling in dough and so good if it wasn't for

1627
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 2: Dana White, so Tachi Palace disaster. Notwithstanding, once Dana White

1628
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 2: secured State Commission support, federal support, and he took the

1629
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 2: chances he did to get Combat Sports back on the map.

1630
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 2: I came on this show and told you this guy

1631
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 2: could be a folk hero in the end, because I

1632
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 2: believe that it would set the groundwork for boxing to

1633
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 2: come back, for Team Sports to come back, Dana White

1634
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 2: and his team. And let's not give Dana all the

1635
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 2: credit despite that four minute jerkoff scientology video, Luke, it's

1636
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 2: the pr team, It's the matchmakers. It's the you know,

1637
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 2: the people that get out there on the road and

1638
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 2: set up the logistics to make this happen. Dana White

1639
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 2: in the UFE was very valuable in twenty twenty two

1640
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 2: put in what we do back into business. Luke, you

1641
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 2: and I filled time in March and April the best

1642
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 2: we could, reviewing movies, having fun, drinking episodes showtime. Let

1643
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,640
Speaker 2: us watch some shows from the archives. We did that

1644
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 2: really fun show with Mauro Ronalo and Scott Koker looking

1645
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 2: back at Strikeforce Classics. Could we have done that for

1646
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 2: six seven, eight months? I'm not sure, Luke and Dana

1647
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 2: White and company getting the ball rolling, getting back on track.

1648
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 2: It did set a precedent and set some momentum. And

1649
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 2: you know, sports isn't all the way back we're trying.

1650
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 2: But whether you agreed with it or not, we did Spence,

1651
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,799
Speaker 2: Garcia and Gervonte, Santa Cruz and domes with ten fifteen

1652
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 2: thousand people there and it worked out. In boxing, and

1653
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 2: we've done UFC every single week pretty much, and we've

1654
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 2: done Bellator back with some big shows, and none of

1655
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 2: this would have happened, you know, as smoothly if Dana

1656
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 2: didn't do things the responsible way, which is when, by

1657
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 2: the way, we all turned and supported him and said, yes,

1658
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 2: you're taking a chance, but you're doing it the right way.

1659
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 2: I wish you luck. And yes, it's not lost on us, Luke,

1660
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 2: even on us clowning on that ridiculous video or arguing

1661
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 2: against it, it's not lost on us that Dana is

1662
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 2: the MVP that you and I had things to talk

1663
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 2: about every week, had a reason for CBS and Showtime

1664
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:25,760
Speaker 2: to keep paying us and Mma, let's not forget for that.

1665
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 2: UFC in particular, for about two months was the only

1666
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 2: show in town. Okay, CBS Sports was sending me down

1667
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 2: to the studio after UFC events to do a half

1668
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 2: hour live show on CBS Sports HQ because it was

1669
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 2: the only thing going on. Those were some fun times.

1670
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 2: We don't have that without Dana. So, Dana White, you are.

1671
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 2: You are the real MVP of twenty twenty. And it's

1672
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 2: a shame that you went to the extremes you did

1673
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,640
Speaker 2: to take that victory lap and let Tom Brady and

1674
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:55,759
Speaker 2: Shane Victorino slam dunk on us in the Instagram comments.

1675
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 2: But thank you Dana just the same.

1676
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not my MVP. I would say that the

1677
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,720
Speaker 1: fighters and the coaches, the people who actually put themselves

1678
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 1: at great personal risk, deserve much more of a shout out.

1679
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: But that's just me being literal. Uh okay, BC, last

1680
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: you have an hour?

1681
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 2: Do you have a an LVP? Do you have a

1682
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 2: least Valuable player in twenty twenty in combat sports?

1683
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 1: God? I don't have to think about that, not off

1684
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: the top of my head. Why you have a do

1685
01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 1: we have to get through this fucking shit? It's we've

1686
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 1: already done this an hour and twenty minutes. Wow?

1687
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 2: Wow, can this guy? Why don't you? Why don't you?

1688
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 2: How would you drink already?

1689
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: Luke?

1690
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 2: Okay, why don't you do?

1691
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 4: No?

1692
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: I was, I was. I was fully expected to until

1693
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: another coward about out. But okay, why don't we just

1694
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 1: do that?

1695
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:38,799
Speaker 2: I was just going to shot some shade at Deontay

1696
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 2: Wilder had a bad year, all right. A lot of

1697
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 2: people have great years through this crap. You have a

1698
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 2: very bad year, taking the l against Tyson Fury, coming

1699
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 2: up with eighty six excuses, firing as co trainer. Uh,

1700
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 2: that was a rough year across the board. Luke, do

1701
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 2: we have a Fighter of the Year in MMA? Do

1702
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 2: you want to take this one.

1703
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 1: Luke, Yeah, this one's not very hard. Again, it was

1704
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 1: unanimity between BC and I. We didn't really disagree hardly

1705
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: at all. I don't think how you would be hard

1706
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 1: press to disagree with this pick, no matter what. If

1707
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: you want to pick Tyson Fury in boxing, wouldn't argue

1708
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 1: with you too much. But me and BC didn't agree.

1709
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: But the one we think, we just feels like it's

1710
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,639
Speaker 1: just a runaway choice. In MMA, Devison figuredo you'r UFC

1711
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 1: flyweight champion. Now we know his last fight ended, of

1712
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 1: course with a draw against Brandon Moreno. But how do

1713
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: you pick anybody but this guy? I mean, here's what

1714
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:24,040
Speaker 1: he does. He beats benevidez Okay missus weight, but then

1715
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 1: does it again even more authoritatively. Then goes and beats

1716
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: Alex Perez, and then goes and has a fight of

1717
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: the year, one of the best, if not the best

1718
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: fights in the history of that weight class. So you

1719
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: have a weight miss and you've got a draw in

1720
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: the end, but everything else in between is just so magical.

1721
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean that it was the round of

1722
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: the year. I would say round two belongs to Poorier

1723
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,680
Speaker 1: and Hooker. Maybe not even performance of the year. If

1724
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: you wanted to find one single fight. You could maybe

1725
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 1: pick Atasania against a Coasta if you wanted to, or

1726
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, there's lot of ways you could go. But

1727
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:59,640
Speaker 1: the body of work in twenty twenty, who did the

1728
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:02,719
Speaker 1: most at an entertaining way or just did the most

1729
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: at a high level? The runaway choice here is your

1730
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:07,679
Speaker 1: flyweight king. Now. I can't wait to see what happens next.

1731
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll run it back and do another fight with Moreno,

1732
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 1: maybe Cody Garbrant will go down to one twenty five.

1733
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what the future holds for this guy.

1734
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 1: But in twenty twenty, despite all the ups and downs,

1735
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 1: and some of them you know, listen, Macky Waight was

1736
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,720
Speaker 1: our a missing Waiter should say was not great. I

1737
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 1: can't slight him for the draw. It's one of the

1738
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:28,879
Speaker 1: most satisfying draws you're ever going to see in combat sports.

1739
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 1: And everything else was absolute crushing domination, not merely on

1740
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,799
Speaker 1: the ground with that unusual entry into the guillotine against Perez,

1741
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: but just the vicious way he beat down Joseph Benavidez,

1742
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: putting him to sleep, knocking him out I mean, this

1743
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 1: guy can do it all. Didn't get tired, by the way,

1744
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: despite the weight cut in that five round fight, Devison

1745
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 1: Figuretto had one hell of a twenty twenty BC, even

1746
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: if it wasn't exactly perfect.

1747
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, even if you want to argue, well, he

1748
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 2: gets the nod because he fought four times and most

1749
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 2: guys fought too, that's not even the reason. He hit

1750
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 2: every single category, including you know, more ceremonial ones like

1751
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 2: he may have saved the flyweight division by becoming the

1752
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 2: face of it at the right time. He had three

1753
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 2: finishes on the title level, and in the fourth fight,

1754
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 2: good god, he was in the hospital the night before

1755
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 2: and was in had no reason to be that great,

1756
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 2: yet went out there and had five ron stamina at

1757
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,839
Speaker 2: a hllacious pace and was tough as nails and nearly

1758
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 2: one probably should have won. If we're really gonna find

1759
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 2: tooth comt he saved the division. He catapulted himself from

1760
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 2: largely unknown unless you're a hardcore flyweight fan, to like

1761
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 2: a legitimate top three or four or five pound for

1762
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 2: pound contender, And when they gave him commercial opportunities to

1763
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 2: have a close up right to main event two pay

1764
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 2: per views within three weeks. Now, look, I don't have

1765
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 2: the numbers. I'm not gonna guess that both both pay

1766
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 2: per views did big numbers. I'm not saying that. But

1767
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 2: he delivered in his role, which was go out there

1768
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,719
Speaker 2: and finished Alex Perez to show that he's a badass

1769
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 2: and that division's fun and then author arguably the fight

1770
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 2: of the year against Moreno. And he did that in

1771
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 2: three weeks time. Apart from each other. Just an insane year.

1772
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 2: I do want to shout out though audust Sonia had

1773
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:11,600
Speaker 2: a great year with the two wins, even with the

1774
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 2: Romero one being you know, weird, and Jan Blohowitz is

1775
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 2: not getting anyone any love, it seems, Luke, and anyone's

1776
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:19,600
Speaker 2: top two or three voting. God, what else do you

1777
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 2: want from him? He finished Corey Anderson, He's thirty seven

1778
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 2: years old and he went in there and upset dom

1779
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 2: Rees to win the damn title by knockout. I get

1780
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 2: he didn't go through John Jones to get it, but

1781
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 2: that's a hell of a year, Luke.

1782
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: It is. It is. It's just you know, getting out

1783
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 1: there back to back like that against Moreno after Perez

1784
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 1: and putting on the fight level that he did. It's

1785
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:42,640
Speaker 1: just too it's just too much to overlook, you'd have to.

1786
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:44,760
Speaker 2: I just want people to vote for Yan. I just

1787
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 2: want jan to get some respect. People are like forgetting

1788
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 2: everything that happened. You know.

1789
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still think Otto sagn' is gonna beat him,

1790
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 1: and beat him quite qu quite easily. But you know,

1791
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? All right? So let's get

1792
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: to this. Uh. You know, BC got sent to hell

1793
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 1: by the fans of Japanese animead this week and then

1794
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: before that by Dana White. But he also got sent

1795
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 1: to hell a bunch during his interviews. In fact, we've

1796
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: cobbled together a nice little montage of them. Let's take

1797
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 1: a look.

1798
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 4: What kind of question is that? Get your own?

1799
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 1: White?

1800
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 4: You don't want to talk to me about mine? Why

1801
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 4: do you give a fuck because you're a journalist. You

1802
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 4: don't get paid for this ship? What are you doing

1803
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,520
Speaker 4: with your life? Fuck you? Bro? Goodbye CBS.

1804
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 2: Well justin that's sounds really easy. They're sorry about that, Luke, Butlake,

1805
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 2: I don't know to see the success you had after that.

1806
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 2: I got time. What do you want to talk about here?

1807
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:36,639
Speaker 1: We don't have time?

1808
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 2: No, I mean you have time. I forget we're on

1809
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 2: TV with the ESPN, but I keep my swearing down

1810
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 2: to a minimum. Man, this is CBS Sports right here.

1811
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 2: You can tell ESPN to pound sand all right, come on,

Speaker 2: my friend. I mean I would say it's true, he says,

1827
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,680
Speaker 2: So I believe you. Twenty three years old, I was

1828
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 2: probably in a basement doing some things you shouldn't be.

1829
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 2: Like one time I got really messed up and I

1830
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 2: ate two meat foot long meatball grinders back to back

1831
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:42,759
Speaker 2: and then two slices of pizza on top. Of that.

1832
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 2: That was a good day of my life.

1833
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: Man.

1834
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm really proud of that. Do you have any kind

1835
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 2: of eating record that stands out? I just said I

1836
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 2: ate a whole pack of weenies just because I didn't

1837
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 2: want my brother in law to have that. I think

1838
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:57,759
Speaker 2: you're the only man to know it. Where's Ronda Rousey's

1839
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 2: fine ass at ringside? Wherever we're going to see you,

1840
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 2: it's always an entertaining time, sir. Open your door, man

1841
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:07,640
Speaker 2: and put it hard now. I promise you, guys, I

1842
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 2: ain't going out like no bitch. You can stick on

1843
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 2: the ice and they'll let you beat loaf A.

1844
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 4: What kind of question is that? Get your own white?

1845
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 4: You don't want to talk to me about mine? Why

1846
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 4: do you give a fuck because you're a journalist?

1847
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 2: Shout out to Monkey Mooremile, our great CVS sports producer

1848
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 2: who put that together. Luke, it was a wild ride,

1849
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:27,759
Speaker 2: okay doing these interviews?

1850
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 1: Did you like my face of disgust as you ran

1851
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 1: over my opportunity to ask Justin gage you the best?

1852
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 2: The best part about that was before we got Justin

1853
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 2: Gatchee on the horn, you were like, we need a

1854
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 2: communicating communication system so we don't step on each other,

1855
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 2: and I'm like, look, we'll be fine. We don't need

1856
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 2: to handhold. I don't need to text you every time

1857
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask a question. And then first question

1858
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:49,680
Speaker 2: I completely talked over you like people think I do

1859
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 2: every episode.

1860
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,560
Speaker 1: It's it's as if I've done this before. Okay, that

1861
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:56,719
Speaker 1: was great. Good job by Mikey more Mile and your interviews.

1862
01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:58,600
Speaker 1: That's not the way I do interviews. We see, but

1863
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 1: that was That's what makes them good and diff and

1864
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 1: why we need them. So congrats on all of those.

1865
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 1: Uh Okay, BC, let's do high point, that low point,

1866
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 1: the fan submissions, and we'll call it a day on

1867
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 1: this fucking shit because it has gone on forever at

1868
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 1: this point.

1869
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 2: Walcome, Luke, that's why this is for the people. Okay,

1870
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 2: So don't try to run out of here, do you

1871
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 2: Where do you gotta go to the doctors?

1872
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 1: Come on, I mean, dude, it's just it's going on

1873
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 1: to the point right even I'm losing interest. Okay, high

1874
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 1: moment through one hundred episodes. What would be your high moment? BC?

1875
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 2: Well, Luke, my high moment really involves the success of

1876
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 2: you and I, but specifically you, your success on this

1877
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 2: show all the work you put in through the years

1878
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 2: on the Luke Thomas YouTube channel. You being an independent marauder,

1879
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 2: not dependent upon companies like CBS Sports to fill your

1880
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:45,640
Speaker 2: paycheck and give you legitimacy. You worked yourself to the

1881
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 2: level where the great Joe Rogan reached out to you

1882
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 2: and said, come to Texas or first California, but then

1883
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 2: to Texas and join me on this podcast. And Luke,

1884
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 2: my high moment of through one hundred episodes when you

1885
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 2: went on the Joe Rogan podcast and shouted out morning Combat, Showtime, Malca,

1886
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 2: CBS Sports and your co host and gave us all

1887
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 2: the spotlight with you in the rub for all the

1888
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:17,760
Speaker 2: success you had with Wait with Joe. Wait, but you

1889
01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 2: were out. You were for four hours?

1890
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: Right?

1891
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 2: What are you on for four hours?

1892
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 1: Three and a half, three and a half yes, three.

1893
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 2: Needles yeah, three needles Yeah. I did scrub through the

1894
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,720
Speaker 2: whole thing. I didn't find the spot yet where you

1895
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 2: shouted this all out. But Luke, congratulations in all seriousness

1896
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,600
Speaker 2: on getting to that point. I mean, look, you know

1897
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 2: it's like you and in the the Elon Musky, right,

1898
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 2: the two biggest names Luke's Joe's put on that show.

1899
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:40,599
Speaker 2: Well done, Luke.

1900
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I also didn't shout out my personal YouTube channel,

1901
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 1: so somehow you will find a way to sleep through

1902
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:48,360
Speaker 1: the night. But yes, that was very fun. My highlight

1903
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 1: through one hundred episodes BC is you know you've got

1904
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:55,560
Speaker 1: a good podcast when you can do a podcast inside

1905
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 1: of another podcast, inception style, which is exactly what was

1906
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 1: born when you and I got together for the Charlow

1907
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 1: pay per view all the way back in September and

1908
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 1: we figured out that we can do another podcast that's

1909
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 1: irreverent that's probably gonna get us fired, but still will

1910
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:14,719
Speaker 1: be fun. Along the way Room Service Diaries was born

1911
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 1: in September. It was one of those things where we

1912
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 1: figured out that when we go live, there's so much

1913
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:22,760
Speaker 1: more to not live excuse me full time, rather, there's

1914
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 1: so much more that we could do. And I believe

1915
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 1: that the birth of this podcast, it will be the

1916
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 1: greatest thing that we do, and it will absolutely be

1917
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 1: the thing that terminates our careers effectively. When HR finally

1918
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:37,200
Speaker 1: listens to any of the episodes, it's almost lived that

1919
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 1: they don't give a fuck about us.

1920
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 2: I'll say, I'm glad you picked this as your high

1921
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:47,760
Speaker 2: water moment because I'm surprised it was as successful, loved, received,

1922
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:50,760
Speaker 2: and downloaded as it was, because it's literally you and

1923
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:54,679
Speaker 2: I cracking beers, me getting white girl drunk off two beers,

1924
01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 2: You claiming you need fifty six beers to feel a

1925
01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 2: buzz and drinking yet whiskey with a diet coke like

1926
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 2: a jerk off, and us just laughing and sometimes answering

1927
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 2: people's questions and usually saying offensive things. So if you're

1928
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 2: a fan of Jmma and Risen and you feel like

1929
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 2: this show has done you wrong, watch Room Service Divers.

1930
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,719
Speaker 2: There's plenty more you can get offended on probably watching.

1931
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 2: But look, I'm shocked that these have been this well received.

1932
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 2: It's easy work. It's really you and I just the

1933
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:25,000
Speaker 2: same stuff we do off camera, and it's really a

1934
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:28,680
Speaker 2: celebration of the rare chemistry we do have, which is

1935
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 2: probably what has made this show so successful. And I

1936
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:33,639
Speaker 2: don't take for granted because you can't just put any

1937
01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 2: two donks in front of a camera and say go ahead,

1938
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:39,200
Speaker 2: produce something. I didn't think people would love this like

1939
01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:41,680
Speaker 2: they have, but they have, and I'm grateful for.

1940
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:47,599
Speaker 1: And I would also say, look at those barracks fucking

1941
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,680
Speaker 1: pandemic haircuts that I was rocket at, Jesus Christ, if

1942
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:52,320
Speaker 1: you put up some of the slides one more time,

1943
01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 1: look at how fucked up my haircut was. Jesus, I

1944
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:59,280
Speaker 1: thought it was better than this. That one's that SHOT's okay,

1945
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 1: let's see what else we got. As I drink, look

1946
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:04,120
Speaker 1: at that fucking.

1947
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 2: High and tight like your college girlfriends Luke.

1948
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, just absolutely, your haircuts aren't any better there

1949
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: guy going to fucking you know, hair colleges and getting

1950
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:22,280
Speaker 1: haircuts for free. Who yeah, all right, all right, let's

1951
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:25,439
Speaker 1: talk low lights and then we'll get to fan submissions BC.

1952
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 1: What has been the low moment through one hundred episodes for.

1953
01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 2: You, Luke. You can argue me saying Ostukaro was the

1954
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,840
Speaker 2: low moment in the announcer voice, which again was a

1955
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:39,759
Speaker 2: celebration of what we love about the pageantry of Japanese

1956
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 2: combat sports. But the real low moment, Luke, may have

1957
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:45,599
Speaker 2: been when we were very excited to interview Greg Kelly

1958
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 2: oh showtime documentary Outcry Fame. And by the way, Greg

1959
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 2: had a fantastic twenty twenty. Much love and respect to

1960
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:55,320
Speaker 2: him and Gabrie and him getting the college football scholarship

1961
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 2: and all that. But my ill timed Pat Tillman joke

1962
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:03,080
Speaker 2: led not only to that interview being on the shelf

1963
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:06,840
Speaker 2: for a month, Luke, but Showtime Legal getting involved. So hey,

1964
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 2: as we always say, Luke, we're always one joke away

1965
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:11,960
Speaker 2: from being unemployed. Shout out to your boy BC for

1966
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:14,760
Speaker 2: almost screwing the pooch on that one.

1967
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 1: Yes, not great, not great. And then it came out

1968
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:22,040
Speaker 1: like long after the buzz of the show had worn off,

1969
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:24,640
Speaker 1: although it's a tremendous show, and they're again to have

1970
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 1: a Barracks cut from the fucking pandemic, just looking like

1971
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 1: an absolute asshole.

1972
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that handsome guy right there.

1973
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, why did you have a tan? Where did you

1974
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:34,960
Speaker 1: go that you had a tan?

1975
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 2: I think it was just the nice weather. I was

1976
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 2: outside every day, you know, working in the yard, walking

1977
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:39,960
Speaker 2: the dogs.

1978
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:43,479
Speaker 1: You know, you get that getting that vitamin D huh. Anyway, Yeah,

1979
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,720
Speaker 1: And like weeks would go by and we'd be like, dude,

1980
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:49,280
Speaker 1: where the fuck is this interview? And then they finally

1981
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 1: put it out and it was a good interview. It

1982
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 1: was great, actually really enjoyed it. A bit of a

1983
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 1: dud BC, but a bit of a fell on deaf

1984
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:56,719
Speaker 1: ears there.

1985
01:32:57,080 --> 01:32:58,560
Speaker 2: It was a great interview, by the way, it's a

1986
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:01,200
Speaker 2: great document, it's a great story. Yeah, it's literally like

1987
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:03,840
Speaker 2: it was like, well, it might get published today, but

1988
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:06,000
Speaker 2: I think there's one more crack you made that needs

1989
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 2: to be edited out, and I say, yeah, all right, yeah.

1990
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 1: BC starts at being like, hey, you guys want to

1991
01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 1: hear some pedophile jokes, Like no, BC, we really, I

1992
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:15,719
Speaker 1: really don't want to do that.

1993
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 2: That is not true, Luke. Luke, what is your low

1994
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:20,479
Speaker 2: moment through one hundred episodes with Morning Combat.

1995
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:23,360
Speaker 1: Well, it's less a moment, BC, and it's more just

1996
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:27,439
Speaker 1: a condition, right, Like if you've got jockeych, sometimes it

1997
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 1: itches more than others, but you still just have Jockeych.

1998
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 1: Jay is our jockeych. My low moment is every day

1999
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 1: with Jay. Here we have this jockeych of a producer

2000
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 1: who is desperate for fame in ways that shock even

2001
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:47,559
Speaker 1: a careerist asshole like myself. He wears the worst, he

2002
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 1: wears the worst glasses, he does the worst on air stick,

2003
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:54,960
Speaker 1: and while he does a decent job when he's actually

2004
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 1: in the studio, we can't even rely on him enough

2005
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:00,560
Speaker 1: to be in the studio or to train other people effectively.

2006
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:02,280
Speaker 1: Although now you know, I think we're in a good

2007
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:06,559
Speaker 1: place obviously, but you know, he's just mister unreliable and

2008
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 1: yet wants the world and can't even deliver as much,

2009
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 1: which is why we sent him to fucking hell on

2010
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 1: our documentary BC. Are we gonna look at this absolute zero?

2011
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 1: I mean, could you imagine a bigger putts in your

2012
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 1: fucking life than this zero?

2013
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:27,200
Speaker 2: Pretty smart guy, and again people don't realize off camera

2014
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:32,479
Speaker 2: is very witty and entertaining. On camera, he's like a yeah,

2015
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:37,080
Speaker 2: he's a slow dying carcass. I love Jay, and Jay

2016
01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:40,240
Speaker 2: also continuously screws up, so I don't know how he's

2017
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:43,720
Speaker 2: still our Monday producer, but you know he's a great documentarian.

2018
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:45,559
Speaker 2: And I did want to shout obviously a real high

2019
01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 2: moment of MK all things considered. I don't know how

2020
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:51,719
Speaker 2: Malka followed us around with cameras for forty eight hours

2021
01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 2: and came up with that gem of a documentary. That

2022
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:57,280
Speaker 2: thing overachieved. Shout out to less than Jake, one of

2023
01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 2: the great Malca editors, for being the laborer on that.

2024
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 2: But uh, yeah, Luke, that documentary was beautiful and that

2025
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 2: was really just a bunch of you and me being

2026
01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 2: hungover and angry most of the time, so I can't

2027
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:11,640
Speaker 2: believe they did that.

2028
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:16,000
Speaker 1: He wears less so here. He wears white sun or

2029
01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 1: white regular glasses. And his favorite sports teams and I'm

2030
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:21,360
Speaker 1: not making this up. The guy's from New Jersey's last

2031
01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:24,440
Speaker 1: New York. His favorite sports teams are the Dallas Cowboys.

2032
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:27,200
Speaker 1: I think he likes the Yankees, which okay, I can understand.

2033
01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 1: And then Duke, I mean, could this guy be more

2034
01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:33,080
Speaker 1: of a front running douchebag if his life depended on it.

2035
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I honestly don't know. So fuck Jay

2036
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 1: is what I have to say.

2037
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,680
