Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? Jean Merriman A one A
Speaker 1: hand effect. Boom boom boom, out go the light. This
Speaker 1: is Lights Out with Sean Merriman. What's up, guys. We're
Speaker 1: back again on the Lights Out podcast with me Sean Merriman,
Speaker 1: and today we got one of my long time guys. Man.
Speaker 1: Actually I put it this way. The first day that
Speaker 1: I walked in to learn M M A was invited
Speaker 1: by Jay Glazer. Uh. He wanted me to come in
Speaker 1: and work some in the May moves to help my
Speaker 1: football football career. I walk into gym and the first
Speaker 1: person I see is Tyron Woodley, uh now UFC former
Speaker 1: champion and UM one of the guys I known for
Speaker 1: a long time. And we we get into it, man,
Speaker 1: We get into some of his wins and of his losses,
Speaker 1: some of the things that he's uh moving on to
Speaker 1: um you know, post career possibly and he's got a
Speaker 1: long time before we hang this thing up, man. And
Speaker 1: one of the things he gets into is he wants
Speaker 1: to line everybody up he's lost to back to back
Speaker 1: no training camps and get right into it. Uh. So
Speaker 1: we get into a great conversation and ty Ron Woodley,
Speaker 1: man let's go. Yeah, man, what else been going on?
Speaker 1: I know you just uh, you just got back in town, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you just got back in town. I've just been bouncing around, man,
Speaker 1: just Um. I injured my rim in my last fight,
Speaker 1: so I haven't been able to train. So when I
Speaker 1: can't train, I can't just be idle. So I've been
Speaker 1: just tapping into some different business opportunities, um, planning some
Speaker 1: seeds and just you know, um, just putting everything together. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so one of those planting the seeds. I know
Speaker 1: you got a uh, you've been heavy into the music,
Speaker 1: had a couple of couple of dope songs and drop
Speaker 1: uh and then you gotta you got a couple of
Speaker 1: artists too, you sign recently, right, Yeah. I got an
Speaker 1: artist t Double and I got an artist named Andrew
Speaker 1: Kiss crazy. They both are crazy in their own perspective.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't. I didn't want to carry a
Speaker 1: lot of people because I want to make sure I
Speaker 1: was able to get the time to those artists that
Speaker 1: they deserve and really put them in the right rooms,
Speaker 1: in the right situations, and get them in front of
Speaker 1: the right labels if that's what they want to do. Um.
Speaker 1: One of them, I think will probably end up being
Speaker 1: signed to a label. The other one is so independent.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna end up independent doing a kind
Speaker 1: of a distort deal. But nonetheless, I think the pod
Speaker 1: is gonna be the same. At the end of the day.
Speaker 1: Were just doing that stuff and just um to be room. Man.
Speaker 1: I've been at home, like I think everybody has been
Speaker 1: adding and switching stuff up in their house. I mean,
Speaker 1: so I've been kind of doing some little renovations and
Speaker 1: stuff like that and just chilling out the crib for real.
Speaker 1: So is that is that kind of like where you
Speaker 1: at with everything right now? Because I know, you know,
Speaker 1: I got I got to the point in my career
Speaker 1: and I was always doing something where I was playing ball,
Speaker 1: like I had a little business here. I was doing
Speaker 1: something on the side. But like my last two years,
Speaker 1: like when I was playing, that's when I started like, okay,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna be like wrapping this thing
Speaker 1: up soon. So I alled to like venture more on
Speaker 1: to doing TV. I actually, um, I actually started doing
Speaker 1: more TV work when I you know, in in l A.
Speaker 1: I was like every time on the all season, I
Speaker 1: was right in front of the camera because I'm like,
Speaker 1: as soon as that last snap was done in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna write the TV. Is that
Speaker 1: kind of where you're at with it? For me, it's
Speaker 1: like this always playing on generating the wave, right, whether
Speaker 1: it's throwing a promo and fight or like I just
Speaker 1: dropped the song or I just did a movie, I'm
Speaker 1: on the TV show, you see me on the desk
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about a fight. It's always something to
Speaker 1: generate the wave. And after that, if you especially when
Speaker 1: you win, I mean you still can you know nowadays,
Speaker 1: and I swear if you go out there and you
Speaker 1: fight like a terror Gotti or um, you know, had
Speaker 1: to somebody with a blood bad fight, windows a draw
Speaker 1: you can hug and you may get more props with
Speaker 1: respect for losing then you do winning. But you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always been a fighter that wanted to
Speaker 1: hit and not get hit. So the fights that I've
Speaker 1: been in windows a draw has either been real clean
Speaker 1: knockouts for me, or it's been tactical fights or been
Speaker 1: more fights for people like Damn. We know Typer can
Speaker 1: do more while he's not doing more, but it's never
Speaker 1: been nobody just finishing it. Throm with my ass. No,
Speaker 1: it's not been like that so so far. Fact, I
Speaker 1: wanted to let people know my very first time in
Speaker 1: the m M A gym. You know, when Jay Glazer
Speaker 1: had me good I think it was. I think it
Speaker 1: was like so when the mid two thousand's, was it
Speaker 1: two thousand seven or eight or somewhere around there, because
Speaker 1: I think you were just coming on to right at
Speaker 1: that same just coming on to I just started hitting
Speaker 1: that l a real heavy and training that Wilcro boxing
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh eight or nine something like that. Yes,
Speaker 1: So that was my my first time so ever been.
Speaker 1: I boxed a little bit kind of growing up my uncle,
Speaker 1: my uncle's and self with professional boxers, and I come
Speaker 1: from d C and that that uh, that d that
Speaker 1: d n V area was a bunch of boxing and stuff,
Speaker 1: but then it may wasn't big. So you know, Jay
Speaker 1: Glazer was like, yo, you should come out and try
Speaker 1: to m a out because it'll help with your hands
Speaker 1: and bolence and opening hips up and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So I said, okay, cool, I walk in the gym
Speaker 1: the first time, and so Randy gatour I the Randy
Speaker 1: was in that day. Randy was in the day and
Speaker 1: then you was in that day. So in my hand,
Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't know what was Jay gonna
Speaker 1: plan on, have me scrapple or or spar with somebody
Speaker 1: them Like, yo, I got no experience. I never sparred
Speaker 1: when anybody, you know, legally, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like you have some fights in the neighborhood, but you
Speaker 1: never So I'm like, oh, I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: So that was my first day ever being in the
Speaker 1: mm A gym, and I saw you and this, So
Speaker 1: that was I think when you started to come on crazy.
Speaker 1: Because you know what's funny when I went to the gym,
Speaker 1: right because Brandy was my manager at the time, Randy
Speaker 1: has Inspired, they were managing me at the time, and
Speaker 1: then I that's how I made Ja. We became friends,
Speaker 1: and then he wanted me to come help out with
Speaker 1: this the m M athletics program, Right, that's that was
Speaker 1: you guys. You you Clay you Clay Bathrows and freaking
Speaker 1: Mercedes was the thing the first time. And um and
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, yeah, I slided through, But I didn't
Speaker 1: recognize that when my coach was actually saying that my
Speaker 1: manager saying, is that J wanted to train me too.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, so I was doing three or
Speaker 1: four workouts because I had already had my boxing workout
Speaker 1: that I would come to the gym and like I'd
Speaker 1: be ready to train you guys, but He'll had his
Speaker 1: whole workout plan for me, which was Bruno basically over
Speaker 1: the top at certain points so he wouldn't ham on me.
Speaker 1: And it was like, damn not. I had to give
Speaker 1: him respect. I had the image problems, and I think
Speaker 1: I was one of not the first, but one of
Speaker 1: um one of the fighters of my generation that really
Speaker 1: gave him the proper doing the credibility for me and
Speaker 1: the legitimate trainer and have knowledge and martial arts right,
Speaker 1: and so you know, being being a football play man,
Speaker 1: I got this theory and I've been saying this ship
Speaker 1: for about twelve years now and now I got you know,
Speaker 1: lightside extreme fighting. I'm doing my own thing. But so
Speaker 1: so I've really been concentrated on getting former athletes, especially
Speaker 1: football players that transition over. Like you said, we were
Speaker 1: in the gym that day was Mercedes Lewis, Clay Matthews,
Speaker 1: and I think Richard in Carnido even came there. Big
Speaker 1: che and so by the way, I want to fight
Speaker 1: Big rich when it retire. Man, I'm just go ahead
Speaker 1: and put that out there up, I want I want
Speaker 1: Big Richie's ass. Uh No, But you know we were
Speaker 1: in there. So I got this theory, man, where it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of athletes from other sports transitioning
Speaker 1: in Like what what do you what did you see
Speaker 1: that day? You know, like or just being around football
Speaker 1: players in general. Man, that that can transition, Like do
Speaker 1: you think that transition is? It's easy once you pick
Speaker 1: stuff up because you you do it. But you see
Speaker 1: us on coming, you know, coming from one sport into
Speaker 1: the next. When when I look at the transitional athlete
Speaker 1: coming into him and may I think in the middle
Speaker 1: like one fifty five inch, if you got somebody coming
Speaker 1: in from a boxing or a striking a kickboxing weight class,
Speaker 1: I think they'll be solid in that way because, uh
Speaker 1: you more of the grapplers in the welterway division, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, or the lighter way to the wrestlers.
Speaker 1: They're all built the same because those were the only
Speaker 1: sports that they have for those weights, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. But when you started getting into the heavyweight
Speaker 1: that's when I feel like the football players got a
Speaker 1: better opportunity because they explosive, they can run, they can
Speaker 1: they agile. They were already pretty athletic and fast, you
Speaker 1: can jump, and just pretty just athleticism for whatever their
Speaker 1: body type was. That's how they managed in the NFL.
Speaker 1: So with the discipline that they had to have. From that,
Speaker 1: the mindset that some some athletices make contact every play,
Speaker 1: like every single place in make contact, So having a
Speaker 1: fear of contact may not be there sometimes they maybe
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying every football players are not
Speaker 1: scared to get question the phase, but you know what
Speaker 1: I mean that that's one little added value that we
Speaker 1: may not think about now for sure, and it's gonna happen, man.
Speaker 1: I think we we got a couple more guys that
Speaker 1: we're gonna announce it. And the cornerbacks are the ones
Speaker 1: that should come over to you know what I say. Cornerbacks.
Speaker 1: And you got some safeties like safety, That's when I
Speaker 1: was looking at up yeah and uh so, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: why you played that's right, strong safety. I was a hitter,
Speaker 1: that's right. So when you hold on shoe, I thought
Speaker 1: you so you you know, you played strong safety they
Speaker 1: bring you up in the box. When you played, I
Speaker 1: was like a roverback, so I played strong safety. But
Speaker 1: I can come up and I can kind of and
Speaker 1: I complins I can do all this stuff because I
Speaker 1: read the film so well and I hit so hard.
Speaker 1: I had like a hundred tackles about saying, here, so
Speaker 1: what what made you kind of go from from playing
Speaker 1: football where you because you wrestled. I mean, obviously you're
Speaker 1: doing were You're doing both at the same time. I
Speaker 1: was doing both, but I didn't have the real big
Speaker 1: offers collegionately for football. My coaches all thought I was
Speaker 1: gonna be too small and I end up growing into
Speaker 1: like the perfect d back um. But at that time,
Speaker 1: I just had to be smart. I couldn't get my
Speaker 1: feelings hurt because he was pushing for other athletes. I
Speaker 1: had to go out there and find another West. All Right, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn up in this rust and can't nobody
Speaker 1: tell me I can't do that because it's individual. My
Speaker 1: team could be garbage because I was a great actor.
Speaker 1: I had a is your tackles, but we never made
Speaker 1: it past the game one of the playoffs. But if
Speaker 1: I would have had three extra games, probably got thirty
Speaker 1: more tackles. You mean, why wouldn't I be first team
Speaker 1: All State? Why wouldn't I get the looks? House was
Speaker 1: to get you know what I mean. But I said,
Speaker 1: I can't think about that and let me go turn
Speaker 1: up a wrestling. So I turned up a wrestling. I
Speaker 1: want to stay titled. UM placed a couple of times
Speaker 1: in nationals, and I went, I was like the top
Speaker 1: five overall recruit of my weight, and I started getting
Speaker 1: big offers. And that's that's what I took to get
Speaker 1: to college. To me, it was to get to college,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to play football. That's what how you
Speaker 1: came up. Man, it was it was I remember, you know,
Speaker 1: just reading about it and and all this stuff early
Speaker 1: on too, when he was growing up. You know, it
Speaker 1: was crazy, super crazy, you know when you grew up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, Ferguson, it's just just I mean, it wasn't
Speaker 1: crazy to me at the time. But now I look back,
Speaker 1: and I we got more visual, You got more visual
Speaker 1: of what everybody else is doing because of Instagram and
Speaker 1: social media. But at that time, I thought it was
Speaker 1: normal to hear gunshots all time. And you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: here you know, people getting into fights and selling, drug
Speaker 1: dealing and all this other stufing. I thought it was normal.
Speaker 1: But once we started getting a little bit of reflection
Speaker 1: from the riots and stuff like that, and everybody's basically
Speaker 1: saying this is not right, then I'm like, damn, that's
Speaker 1: kind of funked up. I was just like numb to it.
Speaker 1: So now that that was that was my reason for
Speaker 1: playing football. Man. When I was a kid, my my
Speaker 1: my mother didn't want me to play and she when
Speaker 1: she asked me, I said, uh, why do you want
Speaker 1: to play football? I said, you I can hurt somebody
Speaker 1: and not go to jail. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: Like that was that was my mentality because I had
Speaker 1: I had an angry issue from what we were growing
Speaker 1: up at it in Maryland and Washington, d C. Like
Speaker 1: I was. It was just it was just turned up
Speaker 1: in DC right now, I know. I know. Now that's
Speaker 1: why make my sister didn get a free bare knuckle
Speaker 1: U far assession. You can just walk out there and
Speaker 1: just put on the wrong ship and you being a
Speaker 1: strange crap. But see that's how I see. Okay, So
Speaker 1: and I was about to take a your knuckle fight
Speaker 1: I was. I was actually about to sign up to
Speaker 1: do that bare knuckle fight because I was telling people
Speaker 1: that I've been in twenty of those before my life,
Speaker 1: just you know, at schools, in the streets or whatever.
Speaker 1: And then I just never really, you know, I just
Speaker 1: if I wasn't playing football, would have been fighting, Like
Speaker 1: it was just a given. Man, It's just it was
Speaker 1: in me to do. But football was always like my
Speaker 1: way out. And then and I bring this up because
Speaker 1: I remember when you you finally made it, you brought
Speaker 1: your mom the crib and you know, you took k
Speaker 1: of your family and stuff. Man, I was like that
Speaker 1: to me was more important than anything. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: fighting at the time wasn't paying. Even I retired, dude,
Speaker 1: when I retired in two thousand and twelve, two thirteen season,
Speaker 1: I was gonna take a fight. Like by two thousand
Speaker 1: and fifteen and sixteen, I was already kind of training
Speaker 1: a little bit and just want to stay in shape.
Speaker 1: But the money wasn't there. Like, the money wasn't there
Speaker 1: like in twelve or thirteen. Now now cats are getting
Speaker 1: the guys are getting paid. You know, the money's right,
Speaker 1: it's a couple of checks out there. I mean, it
Speaker 1: ain't everybody and getting paid, but it's it's been there's
Speaker 1: been a it's been checks out there. I touched a couple,
Speaker 1: so I can't complain, but there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: that touched way more and they have way more opportunity
Speaker 1: to get involved with big paydaggs. But you're right, man, um,
Speaker 1: I can only imagine I heard could be that paid
Speaker 1: ten million. I mean, that's the first that's the highest
Speaker 1: reporting income I've ever seen. We know Connor's getting fifteen twenty,
Speaker 1: but but they reported ten millions and somebody that's rushing that.
Speaker 1: I mean, he wouldn't report probably at least at least
Speaker 1: as possible, I mean, but to show that the report
Speaker 1: that who knows what he really walked away with after
Speaker 1: two million, two million pay per views? So what what
Speaker 1: do you? So, what do you think with that man?
Speaker 1: Because I've just seen that when they were talking about
Speaker 1: could be being pound for pound all this other stuff.
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm not I'm not knocking him at all
Speaker 1: and all that. Okay, so it's not even question, but
Speaker 1: he needed to get that for what he did. He
Speaker 1: kept a clean never got into any trouble, you know,
Speaker 1: what I mean. He was squared straight by the book
Speaker 1: and he never lost. So if his warmer question to
Speaker 1: be from one day, it's subjective anyway, it's not real.
Speaker 1: A one plus one is too anyway, right, and let
Speaker 1: him happen for a week. John, John don't know why.
Speaker 1: I ain't even bother but see that. But okay, so
Speaker 1: that I said, why does John give? Why is he
Speaker 1: car We all know, yeah, but you know what, people
Speaker 1: are not gonna people always gonna hate them. I get
Speaker 1: even suspended. He got in some off you know, optive
Speaker 1: cage stuff or whatever. But if we're talking strictly fighting, like,
Speaker 1: why is that really a conversation? Because to me, the
Speaker 1: six or seven rounds in his life, including sparring problem.
Speaker 1: I mean, like he's a special body type. He's a
Speaker 1: special athlete. He doesn't hesitate, he can do a wide
Speaker 1: rate of martial arts. He's left handed, but he fights
Speaker 1: orthodox and he Swiss softball and you forget that he's
Speaker 1: actually left handed. He kicking in the leg. If you
Speaker 1: get you on the ground, he elbow your brains out.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. He's not gonna tap out,
Speaker 1: He's not gonna quit easy. He's been in wars, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So he's beat the goats when
Speaker 1: they were the best. The show does and the cheat does,
Speaker 1: the um Vitor Belle first to Rashad Evans or Rampage Jackson.
Speaker 1: So he got like skeletons of many many great Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame fighters. Nobody has more Hall of Fame victories
Speaker 1: than he does. Second to him is your on Saint Pierre.
Speaker 1: But so it's not even it's not even contestable because
Speaker 1: even the way that could be, you've got his belt.
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't take down Connor McGregory. He didn't
Speaker 1: take down Eddie Alvarez. He fought al alc Winter. I
Speaker 1: mean he never him and him and Tony Ferguson never
Speaker 1: did their thing and got that fight out the way.
Speaker 1: He's dope, but he ain't the best. And and the
Speaker 1: reason why I think they support him so much obviously
Speaker 1: because of his you know, he's super cultured. You know,
Speaker 1: he's always been super respectful to everybody else, so they
Speaker 1: that's who they choose to support and want to put
Speaker 1: the stamp on him. I would say John, I would
Speaker 1: say John John this, George Saint Pierre, then Demitrius Johnson.
Speaker 1: Then hearing to Hudo, then Amanda is okay, and then
Speaker 1: you'll put you'll put kabebe at like six or seven.
Speaker 1: I could be right at the Manda Noons. In my mind,
Speaker 1: Amanda Nowdaz is over. Could be she'd be Cide Born,
Speaker 1: she'd be Rynn the Rossie, She'd be Miss Mischa Tate,
Speaker 1: she'd be Holly Home. Didn't she randomly um who was
Speaker 1: a champion, she'd beat Sheepschenko twice, who was a champion,
Speaker 1: who was dominant as a champion. He not even above
Speaker 1: the Manda Noons and the Bond. Let's be real, they didn't.
Speaker 1: They neither give her respect, and she should be in
Speaker 1: the top three easy, she's not. And it could be
Speaker 1: could be only what defended his his belt what two
Speaker 1: or three times? Or someone like he was just so dumb.
Speaker 1: That's what beat people. That he's just so dominant. And
Speaker 1: the only time the wrestler's gonna get loved if they
Speaker 1: dominant and they just got a vicious grinding found and
Speaker 1: they just overwhelmingly put somebody into the pointment they just
Speaker 1: scared to give up. And that person that's giving up,
Speaker 1: we're not used to seeing them giving up. So now
Speaker 1: something magnetic U sudden. But but if you do it
Speaker 1: as slower, if you do it at slower pace, let's volume. Man.
Speaker 1: You don't put as much pressure on. People are gonna
Speaker 1: buoy you. That's that's my thing, right, Because you had
Speaker 1: like the last couple of fights, and I know you
Speaker 1: got hands with it like I think it wasn't It
Speaker 1: wasn't usman, because I was looking at watching the fight
Speaker 1: and I wondered if you hurt your hand or hurt
Speaker 1: something more because whenever I whenever I see you not
Speaker 1: taking certain things, I know you normally would take the
Speaker 1: first the first thing. I started thinking, it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: ship his his hand or his wrestle or showed his shoulder,
Speaker 1: because I remember we talked about it in the gym
Speaker 1: even before the fight. And I don't know what people
Speaker 1: understand the notice because I've seen you before that fight,
Speaker 1: and I know your shoulder was messed up because we
Speaker 1: talked about you having surgery possible. I think it was
Speaker 1: in the gym that day and you had either taped
Speaker 1: up consian you have something on your shoulder. I was
Speaker 1: asking about your shoulder and I said, okay, and did
Speaker 1: you say you were still gonna go go forward and fight.
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there thinking like I had both my
Speaker 1: shoulders done, so I know what that rotator feel like.
Speaker 1: I know what that labor feel like because both of
Speaker 1: mine have been done, but you didn't have the surgery.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, Okay, cool, it must be the must
Speaker 1: be that. So where are you at? Man? Physically? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like where do you think? Like?
Speaker 1: Where where's your body at physically? Man? And and being
Speaker 1: back on being back at being able to get after
Speaker 1: it again, I'm getting close. You know I'm not there,
Speaker 1: but I'm not in the rush. I'm not in the
Speaker 1: Russia yom out. I fought real quick, back to back
Speaker 1: bone to bone. Um. To be honest, I'm not even
Speaker 1: gonna sit on a like an injury. None of those
Speaker 1: injuries preventing me from being victorious in my fight. Like
Speaker 1: I I walked in all my fights and injuries. But
Speaker 1: I've always said, once I signed a contract, if I
Speaker 1: walked through there, and then if I take the fight,
Speaker 1: I can never win to lose. I can never say
Speaker 1: nothing of my injuries. Like when I knocked out Robbie,
Speaker 1: I thought I had a torn growing you know, my
Speaker 1: foot felt broken. I said, was gonna fight. I had.
Speaker 1: I told my labor room the first punch of um
Speaker 1: Dami and maya fight. And I still want. I still
Speaker 1: want against Kevin Gastin. I still want against Arrettil. So
Speaker 1: you can't pick and choose when you want to be
Speaker 1: like the injury heard it help you sometimes to make
Speaker 1: you dig into a different layer, like when I heard
Speaker 1: my ship in um the fight against dar until I
Speaker 1: never I had only throw the two elbows in my life.
Speaker 1: Remember earlier I said I elbowed um um um daily
Speaker 1: and I elbowed him hard, right, yeah, I stopped. I
Speaker 1: didn't do it again, like oh ship I fucked. I
Speaker 1: opened the shift out him. And it was like at
Speaker 1: that time, like I don't really dislike the dude, like,
Speaker 1: but say, oh bow, motherfucker. You gotta be wired in
Speaker 1: different ways to help him. Elbowed him once and Terrik
Speaker 1: Safforny one time I had two total elbows landing in
Speaker 1: the history of my fighting. And then I met my
Speaker 1: hand up against Till and I just flipped the switch
Speaker 1: and I went bloodthirsty for like for the elbows, like
Speaker 1: a million elbows, Like my elbow was burning the funny
Speaker 1: bone hit and I just kept doing it. My hand
Speaker 1: was hurt and kept punching, so I just went to
Speaker 1: a different zone, you know, a different different bubble. So
Speaker 1: it's not it's never it's not the injury. It's just
Speaker 1: something that didn't happen. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, something that didn't click. I
Speaker 1: trained my ass off. I'll have no regret. And like
Speaker 1: actually the preparation and trained and what I did, who
Speaker 1: I brought in. You know how much time I dedicated
Speaker 1: my focus when I gave energy to I had all
Speaker 1: that ship on point. I was chopping off toxic ship,
Speaker 1: pushing everything to the side. I really only did a
Speaker 1: couple of things that made sense for me to do.
Speaker 1: On the other, you know, entertainment side, come in. But
Speaker 1: if it's all right, I'm gonna do the the tighten
