1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: You had those conversations with Dana. Everybody's fired up signatures

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: are on the dotted line. So what do you feel

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,360

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: What's going on in your world right now?

5
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: So Ferguson is kind of off the table. Olivera has

6
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: now put his name kind of in that top five mix.

7
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: Dan Hooker's in the top five mix. But justin Gatsch's

8
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: the fight that I.

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: Titans too much like the boy Taylor, but but you

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: gotta be ready to go. And speaking of Cyber Monday,

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this and you haven't gotten your

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Cyber Monday video, I do not want to point the finger,

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: but that's Taylor's fault. I've done all my videos two

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty. I gave Taylor a cool one nine hundred.

51
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: He's got a folder if you haven't gotten your video,

52
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: because I've seen, Oh, I got my merchant, not the video,

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: that's weird. I've done my videos. Now, if I can't

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: get much more out of the boy, I will go

55
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: in that folder and start doing them myself because we're

56
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna grind here, dude. But again, I'm not pointing the

57
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: finger at all, Taylor. It's it's it's Taylor's fault. But

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: we're not gonna We're gonna move on. Uh, let's catch

59
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: up on a few things, a few housekeeping things. We

60
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta get straight my week though. As I'm

61
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: sitting here talking, we just got done beating Jacksonville, so

62
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: uh fired up. Obviously, when you drop a game against

63
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: the Browns and you play like we did in the

64
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: first half against the Browns and you have a good

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: second half, it's all about recreating that second half against

66
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and putting the other four quarters. The Boys

67
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: did a good job putting together four quarters. Now we

68
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: gotta keep We just gotta stay consistent. We gotta find

69
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: a rhythm, get hot in December, because that's what it's

70
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: about in the NFL. It's about getting hot and getting

71
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: getting in your rhythm come December time, because you gotta

72
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: be on a roll going into the playoffs. You see

73
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: with the NFC East Uh, people want to make fun

74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: of them, calling the NFC least all that stuff, But

75
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Washington Football team, and the Giants, they're

76
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: all kind of in it, and they're all catching a

77
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: little bit of a weird stride here at the end.

78
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: It's all about getting hot in December and getting that

79
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: steam rolling going into the playoffs. Arthur wan Kenobi had

80
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: a big game. How did a phenomenal catch? He gave

81
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: me a he gave me an all time meme. Now

82
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: to have victory Monday lattes with his little with his

83
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: little bobble catch look where he's got that crazy ass

84
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: look going on. That's a hilarious picture. But Arthur wan

85
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: Kenobi's crushing it. And I do want to say I

86
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: noticed the Titans. They like to they like to piggyback

87
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: on what the boys do. I personally love it. I

88
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: love it because they shot us. You know, everyone knows

89
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: where the ideas kind of come from. They just make

90
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: the idea a little bit better. The graphic they made

91
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: of Arthur wan Kenobi is phenomenal with the little blue lightsaber.

92
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: Whoever drew that? Who drew that? I want to shout

93
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: him out? So we don't we give some credit because

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: I know they tagged him. Click on the click on

95
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: the Instagram thing because I think they tagged him in

96
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: the bottom left corner. What that bottom of the picture?

97
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: Click on that? Who's that? What's that? Say? Haley Hailey

98
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: M draws. Hailey M draws. Shout out Hailey M draws

99
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: for the phenomenal drawing of Arthur wan Kenobi. I'm telling

100
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: you guys, the Arthur one Kenobe. We need to get

101
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: it to stick. I need I need Arthur One to

102
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: do a couple more things. I need him to. I

103
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: know he shied away from the force choke and push

104
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: and the force push at the Indianapolis game because he

105
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: did it but the camera didn't necessarily catch it. I

106
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: talked to Darren. I talked to him and Darren Bates

107
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: about it, about their execution. I thought Arthur One could

108
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: have held the force choke a little longer before the push.

109
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: And again, guys, I understand that Arthur One, Kenobi, that's

110
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: a good guy. We wanted to play off Obi wan

111
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: Kenobi and all that stuff. And oh the force choke,

112
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: that's a that's a sign of the dark side. I

113
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: get that. For me, it's about people understanding what's happening

114
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: if you do a force choke. I feel like that's

115
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: the most noticeable people for people in Star Wars fans

116
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: around the world to understand, Oh, he's getting there, he's

117
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: force choking them right now. So I feel like that's

118
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: what stands out. If you sit there and do like

119
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: a lightsaber battle or something like, people don't know if

120
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: it's swords, they don't know what it is. I think

121
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: if we're gonna hit the Star Wars lane. We have

122
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: to do the Force choke. And I was telling him

123
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: in dB that, dB, you gotta sell it longer. You

124
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: gotta be you gotta get choked out a little longer.

125
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: And Arthur Wan, you gotta do the Force push. You

126
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: gotta hold it a little longer and then do the

127
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: Force push. After that, dB, you gotta sell the Force

128
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Force push a little more. They got a little upset. Hopefully,

129
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, we get that selling in the tank because again,

130
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: I think if that Selly hits, I think if he

131
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: hits that Selly, dude, it's gonna be big time. It's

132
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: gonna be big time. He's gonna be Arthur on Kenobi

133
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: for life. It says we have a note Titan stole it.

134
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: I you know whatever, I don't care. I know Taylor

135
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: gets on people for stealing our stuff. I enjoy it

136
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: because it's extra little, it's extra branding and stuff, like

137
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: people know where the source comes from. Now, do I

138
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: think we deserve the paycheck that goes to the Titans

139
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: PR and their media team a little bit and then

140
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: we need we need a little bit of percentage. Nate Bain,

141
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you because you use the obviously the boys.

142
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: I've seen the wolf being used before, wolf pack stuff,

143
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: Arthur and Kenoby. I get it. We're all working together.

144
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: We are all one team. But I do think we

145
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: need to see a little percentage of that money. Somebody's

146
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: gotta somebody's gotta help give these boys bonuses for Christmas time,

147
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: because it's not coming out of my pocket. You know

148
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm sorry Garrett and Josh that you

149
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: had to find out this way. What's this moved up

150
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: to the one spot in number seven in the USA

151
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: today Power Ring? Is that like the Titans?

152
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

153
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: I believe so. Oh we We're not. We don't. Hey,

154
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: we let the media do that stuff. Dude, We're It's

155
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: all it's one game at a time. We get the

156
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: Lions coming up, but by the time you hear this,

157
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: we have already played the Lions. So hopefully I'm sitting

158
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: here slinging a victory Tuesday Monday, Latte again. Predictions, I'm

159
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: not gonna get in predictions. That's a no no. That's

160
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: a no no. In the A Vraible world. I gotta

161
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: stay the boys, gotta stay in his lane, you know

162
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't want to talk too much

163
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: out of my ass. You say a few things that

164
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: you might regret. There's no predictions here. I just I

165
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: believe in the Boys. I believe in the grit, the grind,

166
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: the determination, the resilience of this team that we have.

167
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: Because when we do slip, the Boys bounce back. The

168
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: Boys always respond well. The messages are always articulated very

169
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: well throughout the week by the coaching staff. We paint

170
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: a good picture of what we have to do, and

171
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: the boys, you know, we find a way. We just

172
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: got to continue to keep doing what we're doing and

173
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, just put our head down to work.

174
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: Man.

175
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: We're we were a tough football team, the Boys. I'm

176
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: fired up. I'm fired up to see what ends up

177
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: happening this year with the boys. Crazy Monday night football

178
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: game last night. Again, by the time you listen to this,

179
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: that's why I wish we could turn shit around asap.

180
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: But the Monday night football game that I'm talking about

181
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: is the Lamar Jackson one where my man runs inside

182
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: and takes a shit. I don't care that he says

183
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: he was cramping. That's listen, We've all had the cramp

184
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: world right now. You might've been cramping and like, oh,

185
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: I gotta go take a shit. I'm cramping. I'm gonna

186
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: just jog, do my little limp jog while I go

187
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: over to take a shit. No matter what, you ended

188
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: up having to take a shit. You had the runs.

189
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: People get and we understand what a baller my man

190
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: wipes probably doesn't wipe that well, you know what I mean.

191
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: So he he comes off the toilet into the game,

192
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: throws a touchdown, Cleveland bounces back, and then Lamar drives

193
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: him down the kickingfield go in the game. But my

194
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: man coat goes from the toilet to mak him plays

195
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: And that's not even with the fully wiped that's not

196
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: even with the that's not even with a fully clean

197
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: whispering eye. Dude, that's going out there with a little

198
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: mud butt. You're probably chafing a little bit. You're probably

199
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: he's probably got some kind of rash right now after

200
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: doing pulling all that off. But my man went from

201
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: the toilet to make him plays out in the game.

202
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: That was crazy to see. And it was also crazy

203
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: to see Baker bounce back, drive down and put together

204
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: that drive. And then the thought is always there, too

205
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: much time now for the Ravens. Ravens go down and

206
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: kickingfield goal to win the game. I mean, you can't

207
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: make that shit up, dude. And the way the production,

208
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: the way the Monday Night Football crew production team set

209
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: that up where Lamar was coming off the pot and

210
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: then they go to commercial right as Lamar Jackson's running out. Dude,

211
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: it's like a w W You're on the edge of

212
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: your seat. My god, it's Lamar Jackson. Holy shit, fire

213
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: flames are coming out, you know what I mean? The

214
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: music you drop the stone cold music on that, dude.

215
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: That's TV. And kudos to them for everything kind of

216
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: worked out. Shout out to Lamar for having the runs.

217
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: I know it's a tough day. I get you want

218
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: to say you were cramping. We've all kind of been

219
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: in the cramp game. So listen, we all saw the little,

220
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: the little, the clinch butthole jog you had going to

221
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: the locker room. It's all good. It makes it even better.

222
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: Forget the cramping. Run with the I was shooting run

223
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: with you. I had the runs and I was shooting

224
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: down my leg. I had to go get the rest

225
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: out of it and half half assed wipe and go

226
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: out there and throw some touchdowns. That's what the people

227
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: want to hear. What do we have after that, dude, Joe,

228
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: we got we got gifts. Listen, we had a we

229
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: had a great episode. Obviously, it's a Christmas podcast. I'm

230
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: already on a rant right now. We have Michael Chandler on.

231
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: We talked about all of his fights coming up, and

232
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: I butchered. I can't believe I said the wrong name, Gaichie.

233
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: Is it Justin Justin Geighee? Yeah, gey Chee. I said Gaithey.

234
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: What an idiot. But we talked to Michael Chandler about

235
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: what's going on, how he transitioned from Bellator to the UFC.

236
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: The man's got an awesome journey and it's been it's

237
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: been incredible seeing him, seeing him blow up and get

238
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: his chance in the UFC because he's a three time

239
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: Bellator champion. Just an insightful kat dude, really inspiring, really motivating,

240
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: A great follow on social media because he's always posting

241
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: his workouts, his inspiring stuff. He's one of the good guys.

242
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: He makes you want to be a better person. But

243
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: we have him on and he gives us all the

244
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: nitty gritty details of what goes on about him transitioning

245
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: to the UFC. Corey Levin also came by to help

246
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,479
Speaker 1: to help be with the Boy and run the Christmas

247
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: Christmas topics. We had a great time talking Christmas topics.

248
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: I I didn't necessarily want to go about it all

249
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: my own, because I feel like it's better having these conversations,

250
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: like when we go top Christmas movies. I don't want

251
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: to sit here and be the only one that makes

252
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: up the list. I need some banter. I need somebody

253
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: to to go back and forth with me, go back

254
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: and forth with me, bring up things that I'm not

255
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: thinking about. So I had Corey on. Now, Corey came

256
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: on and the Boy I personally have to be careful

257
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: with all the COVID COVID rules and intensive protocols that

258
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: you've heard about in Taylor's podcast recently, but we didn't

259
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: take any chances. Corey sat on the couch, we were

260
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: six feet apart. We wore mass during the segment because again,

261
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: you don't want to do anything to get the team

262
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: fined or do any of that stuff, because you know

263
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: it's a very the NFL is very buttoned up about it,

264
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: and you just don't want to take any chances. So

265
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,599
Speaker 1: the boy, Yeah, I'm looking really a little ridiculous. I

266
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: look like sub Zero from Mortal Kombat. I got the

267
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: little medical grade mask on. Sitting in Taylor seat, Corey's

268
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: at the end of the couch. But we have a

269
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: great time talking about Christmas stuff. This was a great

270
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: pod and again we're gonna still talk about it because

271
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,000

00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,360

Speaker 1: com for twenty percent off. All right, So yeah, dude,

307
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: we're in the Christmas spirit. Dude. I did this hashtag

308
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: last night to get people to see what questions they

309
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: might want answered. Ask the Boy anything, because we've had

310
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: it's been an awesome year. You know. I'm careful to

311
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: say that because obviously there's a pandemic going on. You've

312
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: had COVID. Uh. But I'm a glass half full always

313
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: kind of guy. I'm always optimistic. What I like to

314
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: do after at the end of every year, every every seas,

315
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: in every kind of situation, I'm men, you always want

316
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: to reflect back on the year you had, because as

317
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: stressful as it's been, and as much as everybody's had

318
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: to adapt and we've all had to kind of do

319
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: our own thing and figure out our own stuff, you

320
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: always want to look back and see the things you've overcome.

321
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: If stuff work has worked out the way you wanted

322
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: it to. If it has, why do you think so

323
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, what was the good energy that was happening

324
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: around you that you want to continue to manifest? What

325
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: was the bad shit that you know that's made you

326
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: anxious or giving you anxiety that you don't necessarily want

327
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: your life, you know, for the next year. Those are

328
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: things I like to reflect in when thinking about my year.

329
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: But I did this hashtag to let people ask us whatever,

330
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: because again, it's been an incredible year when you're being optimistic,

331
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: I want to say before I get into the bus

332
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: and stuff, I do want to talk you know, this

333
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,239
Speaker 1: year was a year of perseverance for sure for everybody.

334
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: I think before COVID starts, or as COVID is hitting

335
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: and we're locked down and you kind of had those

336
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: first several weeks of like being in your house and

337
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: being like, yo, what in the hell is happening? Everybody

338
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: started to be like you finally get that moment when

339
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: you're at work or when you're doing your every day

340
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: to day and you're kind of caught up in the

341
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: monotony of everything. You're like, man, I wish I just

342
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: had time off to do whatever I wanted and to

343
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: take time and work on whatever is in the old

344
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: nogin that you've been wanting to work on. And everyone

345
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: pretty much got that opportunity when COVID hit, we all

346
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: had that pause in life to sit there and be like, Okay,

347
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: now I do have time to do whatever it is

348
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: that I've complained about or whatever. So a lot of

349
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: us hit those crossroads of being tested. Did you do

350
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: something with that time or did you just kind of

351
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: drag your feet? And then you kind of play into

352
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: the victim of like having that bad year, because you

353
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: go through a lot of stuff, and I get it,

354
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: some real shit happen. People have lost jobs, people have

355
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: been furloughed, People are going through a lot of shit.

356
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: But when shit hit fan and your back is against

357
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: the wall with your family or anything that goes on

358
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: that goes on with you, you get to that point

359
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: where you learn a lot about yourself. You learn how

360
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: you react in those situations. Are you somebody that you

361
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: know that's gonna find the good or figure out how

362
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: you're gonna bounce back, because that shit happens to us

363
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: all the time. Like I my life solid, Like I

364
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: got cut earlier this year and it's worked out for

365
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: me now. But when I got that call, you know,

366
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: obviously you're bummed. Or when you're not on a team,

367
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: when I didn't get picked up and put on a

368
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: team in in the springtime, like I was wanting to Yeah,

369
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: you get you doubt yourself a lot, man, and you're

370
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: in like this vulnerable state because you put yourself out

371
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: there a lot. But when your back's against the wall

372
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: and you're you have all those options to make. Man,

373
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: are you going to to fold and succumb to what

374
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: people are saying about you? Or you're not this and

375
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: you're not that, or you know you lost your job?

376
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: Are you out looking or are you just going to play,

377
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, become a victim of whatever environment you're in,

378
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: or are you going to find the good in whatever

379
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: it is? Are you going to attack the next day?

380
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: Because no matter what, the sun sets, you can as

381
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: much as you want, and the sun is gonna rise

382
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: the next day. And you have the choice to am

383
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: I gonna get up and put into this next this

384
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: next transition or this next day, or am I just

385
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: gonna float along? Because the world goes no matter what

386
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: like I. You know, again, it's been a tough year,

387
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: but you see companies and brands and everybody, you see

388
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: a lot of optimism. People are adapting, New jobs are

389
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: being made, New jobs are being created that you wouldn't

390
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: even think are being created. We're gonna spot to where

391
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: the restaurant industry is like, yo, we never we never

392
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: even thought that this might happen. This wasn't even something

393
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: we thought of. But you see businesses adapting and trying

394
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Are you gonna be like one

395
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: of those people? Are you gonna be people that continue

396
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: to try to, you know, figure out or blame everything

397
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: and say, this is why I'm where I'm at because

398
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: of X, Y, and Z. A finger pointer, or you

399
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: can be a thumb pointer and be like, Yo, this

400
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: is on me. I gotta bounce back, or if I

401
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: don't bounce back, I'm gonna I'm gonna be a victim

402
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: to my mentality because I'm just gonna feed myself when

403
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm wanting what I'm wanting anyway, I'm just gonna tell myself, Oh,

404
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: that's not working because of him or her or anybody

405
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: or all of that stuff. Or you're gonna find something

406
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: new to do. But I went on a little ted

407
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: talk right there, and I apologize for that. But I

408
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: get fired up at the end of every year because

409
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: I like looking back on how far we've come. Podcast wise.

410
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: We went up and down with COVID because of listenership

411
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: and this that the other we're big or we're a

412
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: big podcast that have people on the bus. You love

413
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: to have that connection of people on the bus. We

414
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: got shut we got a wrench through in us because

415
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: Taylor and I couldn't be around each other, so we

416
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: each got to run the pots solo. So you work

417
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: on zooming guys in or getting crafty on. You know,

418
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: I brought Corey in. You got the masks and stuff.

419
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: But again, it's like it's like figuring it out, dude.

420
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: It's like that's I enjoy those times because you learn

421
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: a lot about yourself and you're hopefully you're sitting there

422
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, I did I didn't learn a

423
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: lot of shit about myself. I ended up doing this

424
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: with all my free time. I created that I'm starting

425
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: to dive into this new job. But I hope, I

426
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: I hope you look back on the year and you're

427
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: very optimistic about it and you're proud of yourself because

428
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: no matter what's happened, you got to give yourself credit

429
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: for getting through some shit like this because we're I mean,

430
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: we're still in it, but uh, you know it fires me.

431
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 1: I'm thinking back on stuff. Boys, I apologize that you know,

432
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: how's your guys as your been did I kind of

433
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: did I miss anything? I know, I kind of went

434
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: everywhere with that little ted talk, but hopefully I was

435
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: hitting some kind of course. I mean, you guys, you

436
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: guys now have a job with us, whether or not

437

Speaker 1: and there were three hundred people that were inquiring about it.

440
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: You were one of them, and you you stood out

441
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: because you continued to write every day, even if it

442
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: sucked or it was raw, but you continued to be

443
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: in front of my eyes, you know what I mean.

444
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: And I would look and be like, oh, this is shitty,

445
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,920

00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: videos you see where the heads are on the bodies

453
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: after every victory we have. Josh is the one who's

454
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: taught himself how to do that. He was somebody who

455
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: found an opportunity and wanted to make the most of it.

456
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 1: You were a free intern for how many months? Around

00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean, which is like, we should have

459
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: done it sooner. But all I'm saying is you were

460
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: looking at that opportunity, in that moment, in a shitty

461
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: year where shit is up in the air, working for free,

462
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: busting your ass and I don't know, man like stuff

463
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: like that. I feel like you got to look back

464
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: on and you got to think, like, yo, I'm a

465
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: perseverance son of a bitch because I'm figuring this out,

466
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

467
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, man Like you said, I mean, it's like,

468
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 4: I mean, you get put in a pretty bad situation.

469
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I had a lot better than most people

470
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 4: because I was able to keep my job when everything happened.

471
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: But I mean, you see an opportunity and you got

472
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 4: to take it. I mean, if you're not happy in

473
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 4: your situation, you're the only one that can change it.

474
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: I love that, and you you really do fire me

475
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: up man, I really applaud you in everything you do.

476
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: I know we bust your balls at times, but obviously

477
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: that's what the boys do. We Oh yeah, we're all

478
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: busting balls. But I hope you do. I hope you

479
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: take time to look back on your year, your visions

480
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: and goals that you had, how they got up ended,

481
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: and how hopefully you had new visions and goals and

482
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: you've either attained those or you're on your way to

483
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: attain those. And if you're somebody who's not you know,

484
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: hasn't written stuff down or actually thought about that, I

485
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: would tell you to sit with yourself and look into

486
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and find the optimistic shit that you

487
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: can be doing, and the good energy you can put

488
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: in your life, the good people you need to surround

489
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: yourself with. Eliminate the bad stuff. And when I mean eliminate,

490
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: you don't just you don't just eliminate distractions. We're adults,

491
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: we're men. You deal with distractions, or you know, or

492
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: we're men, we're grown men and women. You don't just

493
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: want to eliminate distractions. You want to deal with them.

494
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: You want to figure out why they're bringing you down,

495
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: or anything like that. You want to learn how to

496
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: deal with them and then you eliminate them. But you know,

497
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: I would, I would, you know, ask and push off

498
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: of you all to you know, do stuff because I'm

499
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: a huge believer in that. You know, this is why

500
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: I believe that we have the bus, that we have

501
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: the pod, just as somebody who sits down and journals

502
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: a lot and writes a lot of shit down and

503
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: tries to manifest a lot of things that I have

504
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: written down. I'm just a huge believer in that stuff.

505
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: But all right, onto onto the bus and mail and

506
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: you know the topics that we have Twitter and we

507
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: want people want answered. How's the wedding planning going. The

508
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: wedding planning is going well. We are wondering if you

509
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: know how this COVID stuff is going to continue to progress.

510
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: Hopefully all the vaccine stuff and everything it all goes

511
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: well because we're getting married in June, so we still

512
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: got time. But you're also st there like, man, I

513
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: hope this doesn't drag out all the way to there,

514
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: because if it does, you know, you're gonna have to

515
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: adapt with that thing. But all in all, it's going good.

516
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: Right now, we have a question people were asking about

517
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: Scott Frost and Nebraska. All right, I will die, I

518
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: will dive a little bit in. I will dive a

519
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: little bit into this. Now, me personally, I don't eat, sleep,

520
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: breathe all the Nebraska football stuff like I know a

521
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: lot of the fans do, just because I'm not in Nebraska,

522
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: like I have the stuff going on. I kind of

523
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: watched the boys from Afar and I'm always rooting for

524
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: them because you know, Nebraska Cornhuser's black shirt, all that

525
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: stuff you want your alma mater to to do awesome.

526
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: It does suck seeing the boys struggle and lose, but

527
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: there's a couple couple of ways you can shape it,

528
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: you know, Scott Frost. I am a fan of Scott Frost.

529
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: I think you know, people are like, you know, let's go,

530
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: let's find somebody else. He couldn't do it, blah blah

531
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: blah blah. Number One, contractually you're married to him until

532
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: I want to say, he was on a big deal.

533
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: He got extended in a second year. So Scott's gonna

534
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: be the guy no matter what. And I think Scott

535
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: is still the right guy for the job, because who

536
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: are you gonna go out there and find that understands

537
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: the history, the background, you know, and what Nebraska is

538
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: about other than somebody like Scott Frost. Scott Frost was

539
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: a quarterback for them. He won a national shaving with

540
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: with them. He was in the nineties with them. The

541
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: dude understands what it takes to be a winner because

542
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: he did it in Oregon. He did it at a

543
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: Jonah Blank ucf usf uff. He was a winner there.

544
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: He turned that program around. And you know we talk

545
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: about all you got give him time. You gotta givehim time.

546
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: I know he's been under on the hot seat this

547
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: year because he's been three years and it just we

548
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: haven't came really close to a winning record or putting

549
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: a great product on the field. But you do, man,

550
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: I think we have a good guy in the seat

551
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: at Nebraska because he understands it. If you go and

552
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: get somebody else like number one, who are you gonna

553
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: get and are they going to turn the program around?

554
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: Because they understand what it takes At Nebraska, Scott does

555
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: because he's he's done it, he's breathed it. He's there now.

556
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: Like you don't think that man doesn't want to turn

557
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: this program around. He's gonna. He's turning over every stoney

558
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: can to figure it out. He is, I do. I

559
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: think he's the right I think he's the right man

560
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: for the job to do that. If you look at it,

561
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: if you dive into some of the stats, and I'm gonna,

562
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull one up. But all sex with a

563
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: couple buddies, and we were kind of talking about everything,

564
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: and he pulled up one of my boys. He pulled

565
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: up a good little stat. And let's talk about winning games, right.

566
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: If you have Bo Polini, he had ninety five games

567
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: in Nebraska. Now me, I played for BO. I played

568
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: all my years with BO. I never thought that bow

569
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: should have got fired. I'm a I'm a bowl leaver,

570
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: as some would say. But Bo had ninety five games

571
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: in Nebraska. He had the amount of one possession games

572
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: with eight points or less. The total was thirty. He

573
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: won fifty seven percent of those games where they were

574
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: eight points or less one possession games. He was seventeen

575
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: and thirteen. You look at Mike Riley, he had thirty

576
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: eight games in Nebraska. He had a total of eighteen

577
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: one possession games, eight wins, ten losses. He won forty

578
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: four of those one score games. Scott Frost in thirty

579
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: one games in Nebraska, uh one possession games. It's came

580
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: It's came down. The one possess are less sixteen times

581
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: for him. He's only won four of the sixteen, so

582
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: he has a winning percentage of twenty five percent compared

583
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: to the others who have forty four Mike Rowley fifty seven,

584
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: Bo Polini. So if I'm being optimistic, right and you

585
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: got those games, I know I'm diving into these little

586
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: ass stats, But one possession there's only a couple of players

587
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: you're sitting there coaching. I know as a coach because

588
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: I've been in the meetings. But it's like, you turn

589
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: this around. It's a one possession game, you end up

590
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: winning the game. Right, So if you if you win

591
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: some of those close games, your record looks different. Everybody's

592
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: feeling different about Scott Frost, and I feel like that's

593
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: how close he is. I do think it is harder

594
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: enow for Nebraska, and I'm just now coming on board

595
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: with this because I was big in the US going

596
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: into the Big Ten. I do think going into the

597
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: Big Ten probably hurt Nebraska recruiting a little bit more

598
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: and here's why I think so. And again, I was

599
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: talking with a buddy of mine, an X teammate who

600
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: played in Nebraska, and he was kind of explaining this

601
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: to me, and I was like, that's actually that actually

602
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: makes it a lot of sense to me. He was

603
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: somebody that was in Texas. And when you're in the

604
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, the farthest drive to a game is Nebraska.

605
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: If you have your kid and you want to send

606
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: them to a school, and you send them to Nebraska

607
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: as a parent or a family in Texas, because Texas

608
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: is a huge state to recruit in, the farthest driver

609
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: travel you got is going to Nebraska. Basically, a lot

610
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: of games playing in the Big Twelve are down around Texas.

611
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: In Texas, Oklahoma, a lot of stadiums are within three

612
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: hours of the Dallas Airport, so you're fly in the Dallas.

613
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: A lot of those games are right there, so families

614
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: are able to see their kids a lot. Now you

615
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: move to the Big Ten and everywhere as far, your

616
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: closest game is damn near in Nebraska. All those kids

617
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: that you're recruiting in Texas and you're pitching on those families, Hey,

618
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, we can see you This goes that a

619
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: lot of those families aren't going to be able to

620
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: afford flying and watching their kids play, at least when

621
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: they're in the Big twelve. You had, you got to

622
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: compete in Texas a lot more for those big star

623
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: recruits because you're able to see them play more. People

624
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: talk about talent a lot. I made a joke there's

625
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: too many white guys on the field. Obviously that's a

626
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: clear joke. But if if we feel like the talent

627
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: isn't up to speed to where we have four and

628
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: five star recruits, any business company, brand, whatever, if you

629
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of three star players, a lot of

630
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: three star talent in below, are you going to be

631
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: a winner ninety percent of the time, You're not going

632
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: to so to get these big dogs down in Texas

633
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: around the South, I do feel like that we were able.

634
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: It hurt us going into the Big ten because of that,

635
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: because now you're competing against the Northeast. When you're competing

636
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: against the Northeast, why would you travel farther and skip

637
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: over Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, and all those schools

638
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: that you can go to. I will now all the

639
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: Penn State, all these schools that you can stay in

640
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: the Northeast for families can be closer. Nebras is now

641
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: the farthest away, you know what I mean. And the

642
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: tradition wasn't built in the Big ten. Our tradition was

643
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: built more with the Big Eight before the Big Twelve.

644
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: But in the Big Twelve, in those southern schools, we

645
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: always got a lot. We got a lot of California kids.

646
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: We had a lot of Texas kids in Florida when

647
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: I was on the team. I don't know what it

648
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: looks like now, but I would assume that it is

649
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: harder recruiting the spots like Texas to the South because

650
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: families aren't gonna want to send their kid up north.

651
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking a lot about Nebraska, but I just want

652
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: to kind of go on that rant because I know

653
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: Nebraska fans listen to this podcast and a lot of

654
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: people are very curious about Scott Frost and what I

655
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: think and what you know, what Nebraska can do this,

656
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: that and the other. I'm optimistic. We're married to Scott Frost.

657
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: I want him to be the guy. I think he

658
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: can be the guy because he understands what it takes

659
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: and he's he has been a successful coach, coming all

660
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: the way up to Nebraska. He's got a great resume.

661
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 1: I think he's the guy I'm sticking with the boys.

662
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm optimistic we're gonna get it rolling again. We were

663
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: also in a pandemic. It's not like we're all professional.

664
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: We're all not adults and professionals. We've been dealing with,

665
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, college kids eighteen to twenty one that you

666
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: got to worry about. So it's been a tough year

667
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: for everybody. You know, we got it again. I know

668
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: you hate to hear it. We got to give it

669
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: more time and got to let that come moving on

670
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: because the boys, you know, we got to get into

671
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: our segments. We got a long, long pod. The Raiders

672
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: parted ways with Paul Gunther. A lot of people asked

673
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 1: about this. I played for Paul. I actually had a

674
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: I got this question from Raider Cody. Shout out, Raider Cody.

675
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: What's up? Comp it's your boy Raider Cody.

676
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 5: And I got to know, bro, what was going on

677
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 5: with Paul Gunter in this Raiders team. It seemed to

678
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 5: never work, yet he got three seasons to try and

679
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 5: figure it out. Run fits were messy, blown coverages, and

680
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 5: I believe we have some pretty good talent.

681
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 2: On this roster.

682
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: Raider Nation wants to know man for the Boys. The

683
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: Boys shout out Raider Cody. I love that little mess.

684
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: I a little the Boys at the end, you know,

685
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: without going too much into certain stories or details or

686
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: anything like that, I ultimately think the Raiders made the

687
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: right decision parting ways with Gunther. You know, my time

688
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: there was awesome. I had a great time there. I

689
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: like coach pg uh. But when you when you think

690
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: about the ups and downs that have been there, you

691
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: had to make a decision at some point you're either

692
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, you blame You're blaming players, You're and coaching

693
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I will say, you know, it was

694
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: it was interesting being there at times because that you

695
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: felt when I was taking ti Here's job, you felt

696
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: like they were throwing tie here under the bus a

697
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: little bit. And being a player that was in those

698
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: meetings during the game, understanding how the headset works and

699
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: all that stuff, there would be blame pushed around that

700
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: you just hate seeing because you don't want to be

701
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: playing the blame game in the middle of the year.

702
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: It's it's you know, it's take responsibility and accountability. And

703
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: when you look at and again, I'm not a coach,

704
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: but I being around being around football for a very

705
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: long time. Uh, what you want to see in the

706
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: coaches is somebody who can coach, who can teach, who

707
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: can teach game plans, who can who can help players

708
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: understand why you're building a scheme in the first place.

709
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: For game planning, you want to be able to inspire

710
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: your athletes, like you want to be relatable to guys.

711
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: You want to be optimistic. You want to be somebody

712
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: you go in and you're like, you know is going

713
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: to have a good attitude because you're all going to

714
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: figure it out together, and you want to coach at

715
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: when bad stuff happened, somebody that you see take blame.

716
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: Now Again, I don't want to get into too much

717
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: of stuff, but PG didn't he in my opinion, he

718
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: didn't check a lot of those boxes. He was. Uh,

719
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, there would be times where the communication would

720
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: be off kilter. There would be there would be there'd

721
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: be a jam in the middle of communicating throughout the week.

722
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of stuff you didn't understand

723
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: why we did things. An entire game plan was open

724
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: on game day, whether or not you worked on it

725
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: in the week. I remember sitting there, I was in

726
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: I was on FaceTime with Charro, my fiance, and I

727
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: was I was getting I was gearing up to play.

728
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: I want to say it was my first start. And

729
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: again I'm still trying to catch up to a lot

730
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: of stuff, and I'm sitting there, like going over a

731
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: third down plan and I'm like, yeah, we got about

732
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: twenty five thirty calls on just third down defense, which

733
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: is a lot for a defense because you only have

734
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: so many plays to run during the week, and when

735
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: you're game planning and practicing, you have about thirty ish

736
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: plays that you run during practice, you know, fifteen oerse.

737
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: You might be working on third down on Thursday, one

738
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: day week you're working specifically on the third down. You

739
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: tie it all together on Friday and Saturday you do

740
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: a couple of plays. But to get through a lot

741
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: of the game planning it would be hard because you

742
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: run a lot of the new calls and stuff, and

743
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: then when you get in the game, the entire book

744
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: was open. It's like a Madden It was like a

745
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: Madden playbook, which is hard because you're trying to remember

746
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: a lot of the communication and then when you'd win

747
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: lose the other you know, you just it would be

748
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: if you didn't play well, it would be you know, guys,

749
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: I can't you open up the entire playbook. When we're

750
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: winning and playing well, I can open up the entire playbook.

751
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: I have all these calls at my disposal, and it's like,

752
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when we're playing well, it's because

753
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: players are executing well. It's not because the calls this, that,

754
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: and the other. You want guys to play fast, efficient

755
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: and communicate. You want guys to be able to communicate

756
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: quick and understand what's happening and what the offense is

757
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: doing to them right out of the huddle. You don't

758
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: want a lot of this stuff in your head. Blah

759
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: blah blah. You know you're thinking, you're double thinking a

760
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: little bit more like Joe, should we have this check

761
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: or is it that check? There was just a lot

762
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: going on. I will say he was on the hot

763
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: see a little bit. Last year. Defense ended up communicating

764
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: and playing well toward the end of the year. I'm

765
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: not gonna too my own horn, you know, I'm kind

766
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: of just doing it. But we played well towards the

767
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: end of the year. I think it saved him a

768
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: little bit because I do think he was on the

769
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: hot seat last year. And again, I haven't been around

770
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't want to you hate talking about

771
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: because I'd liked being around the Raiders. I enjoyed my

772
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: time with the Raiders. I know PG. He was a

773
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: he was all ticked. I didn't come in the summertime

774
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: because they had offered it was a minimum deal, and

775
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: I was like, look, I don't have to go anywhere

776
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: because it's a minimum deal. Like if I if I

777
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: end up on a team, it's gonna be a minimum

778
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: deal anyway. So I could skip camp, not put all

779
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: this wear and tear on my body, and just wait

780
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: till somebody needs a linebacker. I don't have to I

781
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: don't have to put my body through another training camp.

782
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: And you know, he was trying to talk to me

783
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: and this. But I I enjoyed my time there. I

784
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: like PG. That is just my take. I do think

785
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders made the right call. H We'll see what

786
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: goes on from here. I'm a big fan of Gruden

787
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: and I'm a big fan of the Raiders. The boys

788
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: at the Raiders Uh, you know, I hope they get

789
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: back in the thicket things man, because I'm always rooting

790
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: for him and I love seeing the guys have success there.

791
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: But that's you know, it's kind of my take with Gunther.

792
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: We're going to get into the Christmas pod A. Cory's

793
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: coming on in a second. We gotta get geareduck because

794
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: again we gotta put mass on social distance, don't don't

795
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: trip the boy too much. And then after that we

796
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 1: have Michael Chandler. So enjoy the rest of the episode.

797
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. I hope you all get what you want.

798
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: I hope you're in the gift giving season due because

799
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: it's the best time of year. Puts you in a

800
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: great attitude. Play that Christmas music, dude, have that hot chocolate,

801
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: drink those hot lattes, and again, Marry Christmas. From the

802
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: Boys to you. Next week will be a best of

803
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: so we won't be doing an updated pod, but again,

804
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: thank you for the year. It's been a phenomenal year

805
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: for the Bust with the Boys crew. We've went through

806
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: the ebbs and flows, the ups and downs. We've persevered

807
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: a lot to look forward to. In twenty twenty one,

808
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: we're doing a lot of cool stuff with barstool, but

809
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: again about to have Corey on hit these Christmas pod topics.

810
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Michael Chandler on. He was phenomenal, big hugs,

811
00:36:47,160 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: tiny kissing. I have to be might have to be it,

812
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: or we might we might vote and find another one.

813
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: As you guys see, I'm now in a mask. We

814
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: had Corey come on the bus. We're just taking all

815
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: all precautions in the world. But let's get into it. Man. Christmas, Hey, Josh,

816
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: ask your question that you asked me earlier Christmas or Spooptober.

817
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: Here's my answer. That's a tough that's a great question

818
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: because we the boys, we love Spooptober. I feel so

819
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: ridiculous with these masks. I'm looking at you. I feel

820
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: like you're just looking at me.

821
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 3: Like what I know.

822
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 6: I see those eyes. I've seen him before. I know

823
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 6: that guy behind the mask. But is it really him?

824
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 6: I'm not sure.

825
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: But Spooptber. Spootober sets the stage for later in the year. Oh,

826
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: Spectober sets the stage for the late the latter part

827
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: of the year. It sets the scene for the weather changing.

828
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: It gets a little dark sooner, you know what I mean.

829
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: Leaves are changing. You're starting to get into a different

830
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: vibe because it's not all bikinis and swim trunks and

831
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: beach bodies. And I'm trying to you know, I'm trying

832
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: to get my summer body and barbecues and shit that

833
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: it's kind of done. Now. You're getting in the tailgate season.

834
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: You're getting into Spooktober. It is a great time of

835
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: year because you know, football is in full effect. But

836
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:43,959
Speaker 1: the reason I think Christmas beats Spooktober is because you

837
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: just can't help but just being a great mood come

838
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: Christmas time when you start putting your decorations up, dude,

839
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: and your tree is up then and you're in the

840
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: giving season. So when you're giving the people and thinking about,

841
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: oh how am I going to wow my wife, my girlfriend, whatever,

842
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: my boy, like my family. You start getting in that

843
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: giving mentality and you're just in a better mood because

Speaker 1: you got you got cookies, you got some comfort food coming.

00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,959
Speaker 3: There's a different glow about it, yeah, a different a different.

00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 6: Aura or whatever. It's just like a happy, happy, fucking feeling,

847
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 6: you know. Like, like you said, that Christmas tree just

848
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 6: fucking lights your house up. Just the perfect shade of

849
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,040

Speaker 1: am scraping with the wind decks and stuff off the windows,

882
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,359

886
00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: Like let's give it some time.

887
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 6: Just took some stuff down. I can't even right right,

888
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 6: can't even stomach something.

889
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. But the but around that second week and you

890
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: start you hear that first Christmas song like that Mariah Carey.

891
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: What's that When something like that gets in your ear, dude,

892
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: and it's like those little those little jingle bells, those

893
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: little piano notes, they start playing in your ear and

894
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: You're like, it's time you want to start getting in

895
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: the spirit. I'm talking lights everywhere Christmas tree. Are you

896
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: a real tree guy or fake tree guy? Real tree,

897
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: real tree. I respect that.

898
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 6: There's something about it. I mean, growing up always had

899
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 6: a real tree. It's not like we fucking went and

900
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 6: chopped it down or anything and got it like home depot.

901
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 6: But still bad ass to have a real tree. Nonetheless,

902
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 6: So you're gonna you're gonna lose a little respect for me.

903
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 6: We have a fake tree.

904
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 3: It's okay because I understand that, though.

905
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: It is like, please don't judge me by that sentence.

906
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: Everybody growing up, my parents set a great example. We

907
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: would go out every year to a little uh little uh,

908
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: what what do you call little Christmas tree? Yeah, tree farm.

909
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: We go out, my little brothers and I. We we

910
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: we pretend like we're playing deer hunter. So to two

911
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: of the brothers.

912
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 3: Your dad shoot your ass or something.

913
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: No, it's just the three of the brothers, you know

914
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, because we kind of you don't want

915
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: to go. You're like, gosh, damn it, Mom and dad like,

Speaker 6: So like we're going down to Georgia this weekend and

00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,240
Speaker 6: then we're gonna do Christmas, actual Christmas up here.

1226
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you feel bad. I don't want to hurt

1227
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: anyone's feelings. I got you, I got you. I gotta

1228
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: see both.

1229
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I gotta like pack up my kid,

1230
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 6: thinking about packing up my dog and taking him to

1231
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 6: Georgia too.

1232
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like he's pretty easy. He can stay outside.

1233
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: Just got electric fence. Yeah. I want to get back

1234
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: to Garrett traveling for the Christmas Garrett, So, did it

1235
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: become stressful when you got older? When you were younger,

1236
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: it was probably love.

1237
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 3: Right, Uh?

1238
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 9: So when I was younger, it was a little better

1239
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:29,760
Speaker 9: because my younger siblings still believed, and so it was easy.

1240
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 9: The planning was easy. I would stay at my dad's

1241
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 9: so we could wake up at the krack of dawn,

1242
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 9: and then in the afternoon I would go to my

1243
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 9: mom's house because all my older siblings would sleep in,

1244
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 9: so that was easy. But as I've gotten older and

1245
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 9: everyone's sleep in, it's just kind of got to pick

1246
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:46,280
Speaker 9: your poison.

1247
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, when did you? When did you finally figure it out?

1248
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: When did you stop believing?

1249
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 9: I feel like it was pretty soon for me with

1250
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 9: them being split, because I would hear conversation of like,

1251
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 9: all right, I'll do this that.

1252
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: How old do you think you were?

1253
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 7: Oh?

1254
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 2: Ship?

1255
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably that makes a lot of sense now.

1256
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 3: So like, so you lost the Chris. Uh it never

1257
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 3: really grew within? Yeah exactly.

1258
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: That sucks, dude.

1259
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 3: So do you like Christmas? I like Christmas. It's just

00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: going on and on. You just think I'm full of ship.

1263
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 9: No, I love Christmas. I can't wait to do Christmas

1264
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,080

00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1269
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

1270
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't think I found out until it's eleven.

1271
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 3: Man.

Speaker 6: I found out.

1276
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 3: Like a nerd, I I would be ready to go.

1277
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: To the dirt with kids who said that it was fake.

1278
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: Here's why give me your.

00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 3: Give me this say.

1280
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 6: I know you have it in your mind, the same

1281
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 6: exact reasoning argument everything as everybody.

1282
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. So at initially growing up my parents, we all

1283
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: lived with my grandparents at first when my dad when

1284
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: we were shifting jobs and stuff like that, so we

1285
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: would be at my we would live at my grandparents'

1286
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: house and Christmas would come around and my Grandpa would

1287
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: be Santa. So when I was young, like four and

1288
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: five and shit, my mom would wake me up in

1289
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: the middle of the night and be like, hey, you

1290
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: have to stay quiet, you have to stay quiet. He's here,

1291
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what scary as fuck? Yeah, but it's Christmas,

1292
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like, yeah, it's not

1293
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: like it's not like, Hey, we got to get out

1294
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: of here. This someone's in the house. But she's like,

1295
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: she's like, hey, you gotta be quiet. Sanda is here.

1296
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: And I'd be like, oh my god, are you serious?

1297
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: And you know, I kind of get up out of

1298
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: bed and we be tiptoeing. You know, I'm a little kid,

1299
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: so I'm like really trying to tiptoe and like you're trying,

1300
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: like to not breathe. And she would crack the door

1301
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: and my grandpa would be dressed up as Santa putting

1302
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: presents down. And I was young, you know what I mean.

1303
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: She's like, all right, we gotta shut the door.

1304
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 3: Get a glimpse. Yeah, And I'm like, okay, okay, okay,

1305
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 3: Well that's the est suit you've ever seen.

1306
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: Wasn't the dude, it was. It was Santa. In my eyes,

1307
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: Sannah came to my house. So when I got to

1308
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: witness that, and then I went to bed, and the

1309
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: next day you're opening presents like you just believed that

1310
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: you saw Santa. So when people you're arguing at school

1311
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: and kids are ruthless, man, the kids who know they're

1312
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 1: trying to shit on your Christmas bro, And I'd be like,

1313
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: I'd be arguing that. You know, I would be pulling

1314
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: out all the swears, you know what I mean, Like

1315
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: when you're a kid and you're just swearing on everything.

1316
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: I have seen him ready to go to the dirt

1317
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: with anybody that Santa is real. And then we would

1318
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: growing up in the Catholic family, you go to a

1319
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: midnight Mass. Every year, we go to midnight Mass. A

1320
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: couple of years we come back, Presence would be under

1321
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: the tree, and I wouldn't know how to explain it,

1322
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: even when my friends are like doubting, like getting putting

1323
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: doubt in my head, like letting doubt creep in the

1324
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: Devil's like all my shoulders, like hey San, it's not

1325
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: real SA. And a little doubt creeps in your head.

1326
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: You're like trying to figure out, Okay, I'm gonna find

1327
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: out this year if sant is real or not. We

1328
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: come on from midnight Mass. I got the whole family

1329
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: with me at midnight Mass. Ain't nobody leaving. So I

1330
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: didn't know how we did it or how my parents

1331
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: did it. Because we also had a mixed pit bull

1332
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: like a rescue, So he was aggressive toward anybody, you

1333
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean, unless it was us. He was aggressive.

1334
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: His name was Buck. My dad found him hunting on Thanksgiving.

1335
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: He had duck tape around his collar. He was you know,

1336
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: he was abandoned. So he found him turkey hunting. They

1337
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: played with him a little bit and they're like, all right,

1338
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: we got to go go to our stand. And him

1339
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: and my dad and my brother they drive to the

1340
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: spot to where they're going to set up to hunt,

1341
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: and they're they're sitting waiting on turkey.

1342
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 3: The dog.

1343
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: Buck follows him the whole way for like two miles,

1344
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: finds them and comes up to him in the tree

1345
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: and kind of runs the turkey hunding. But they take

1346
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: Buck home, so we take Buck in. But he was

1347
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: a nice though. But anyway, he.

1348
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 3: Put the presence there.

1359
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: My fan was with me, I had my woes with me.

1360
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We can't we come back.

1361
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Cookies are gone, presents are under the tree. You can't.

1362
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't explain it. How close to the church walking

1363
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: distance growing up we went? We went, Uh, we went

1364
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: to Calls School first through fourth grade. So we'd walk

1365
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: three blocks and we'd walk every day.

1366
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 3: Night and took a break from during mass and walked

1367
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 3: home and did everything.

1368
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: No. Now, when I was nine and ten, the good

1369
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: my dad's good buddy would come over during midnight Mass

1370
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: and he would.

1371
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 3: Just good as he would have treats.

1372
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: And stuff like because he knew Buck, like he knew

1373
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: he was aggressive, that he might have to you know,

1374
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: swing on him, but uh he was he was able

1375
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,479
Speaker 1: to evade Buck and put presents down. It just threw

1376
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:27,439

Speaker 1: You had a you uh it was Henderson you knocked out,

1531
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: and right after that fight, your final fight in Bellator,

1532
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: you were a free agent. You set yourself up very

1533
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 1: nicely in free agency, and you had a decision to

1534
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: make take us through walk your boy through that process.

1535
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 1: Because we talked, we texted about it a little bit.

1536
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: But I would love to know how all of that works,

1537
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 1: because you got to be excited going into free agency

1538
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: after a knockout and getting set up for you know,

1539
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: now you're in the UFC. But walk me through how

1540
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 1: that works.

1541
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the uh you know about a year

1542
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 2: ago when I was on the bus, we were talking

1543
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 2: about I only had you know, two fights left on

1544
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 2: my contract, three fights left on my contract, and you

1545
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 2: want to you want to get through them, just just

1546
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 2: like in football, just like any other sport. You want

1547
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 2: to you want to have a good showing inside of

1548
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 2: your contract the confines of your contract, but you always

1549
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 2: want to end on a high note. Each time that

1550
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 2: my contract was about to be up with Bellatour, they

1551
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 2: always made me an offer that was that was hard

1552
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 2: to refuse. And I also always looked at the landscape

1553
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 2: in the UFC. Each time that my contract was coming

1554
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 2: up with Belltour, there was always something kind of weird

1555
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 2: going on, or there was a log jam going on,

1556
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 2: or Connor was going off to fight in Floyd Mayweather,

1557
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,839
Speaker 2: or there was some kind of weird, weird thing happening.

1558
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 2: This time, everything worked out perfectly for me to go

1559
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 2: into my last fight and essentially bet on myself. Yeah,

1560
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 2: so I went out there knocked out Benca Henderson in

1561
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 2: the first round. Then I became a restricted free agent,

1562
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 2: as as you guys call it in football, where the

1563
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 2: current promotion I was with had right of first refusal,

1564
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 2: they had matching rights. The UFC could have made me

1565
01:10:58,120 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 2: an offer and Bellatour could have matched it, and I

1566
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 2: would have henceforth been kind of stuck with Belatore, if

1567
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 2: you will. But Bellatore didn't match the UFC offer, which

1568
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 2: worked out really well, but it was you know, a

1569
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 2: couple of week process where I was fielding offers from

1570
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 2: all the major promotions in the in the in the world. Obviously,

1571
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 2: the UFC was where I always wanted to end up.

1572
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 2: I just didn't know if it was going to present

1573
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 2: itself in the most advantageous position for a essentially being

1574
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 2: a good offer and the offer was great. Sat down

1575
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 2: with with Dana White and Hunter Campbell, the UFC brass,

1576
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 2: and I laid it out to them what I thought

1577
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 2: I could do in the UFC lightweight division. They laid

1578
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 2: it out how badly they wanted me, and here we are.

1579
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 1: Damn that is crazy. So did you have anxiety through

1580
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:45,640
Speaker 1: that process at all? Thinking like because I didn't know

1581
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: you were restricted free agent? But did you have a

1582
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: little bit like damn, you know, I hope the UFC

1583
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: offers something that Bellatore doesn't match.

1584
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, you know, and it wasn't It wasn't

1585
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 2: anything against Bellator, but I mean, it's it's probably similar

1586
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 2: to to all kinds of different you know, sports, sports franchises.

1587
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 2: You know, I was with Belatour for so long and

1588
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 2: I fought some of the same guys, you know, twice,

1589
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 2: some guys three times I held all the you know,

1590
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 2: most of the major records in Bellatoor, mainly because of

1591
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 2: my tenure with the with the organization was there for

1592
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,640
Speaker 2: nine years. There wasn't a ton left to accomplish in Bellotour.

1593
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 2: I still feel like I'm the best lightweight in the

1594
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 2: world at that time when I was making that decision,

1595
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 2: so I decided to better myself, you know, And you know,

1596
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 2: for me, the biggest thing was, Okay, I want to

1597
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 2: get offers from all the major organizations, of course because

1598
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 2: it raises your stock, but mainly from the UFC. And

1599
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 2: you know, I'll be honest, the UFC wasn't the biggest offer.

1600
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 2: There was a lot more money being thrown around by

1601
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 2: a lot more a couple of different other organizations around

1602
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 2: the world, but the UFC seemed like the best place

1603
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 2: for me to a go compete against the best guys

1604
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 2: in the world. Be know that that someday when I

1605
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 2: retired I'm going to be able to put my head

1606
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,080
Speaker 2: on my pillow at night, sleeping soundly, knowing that I

1607
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 2: gave gave everything that I possibly could, and I took

1608
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 2: a chance on myself, just like that little young eighteen

1609
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:06,640
Speaker 2: year old Michael Chandler, who was getting offers from the

1610
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 2: smaller schools. But I decided to walk on to the

1611
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,799
Speaker 2: University of Missouri because I wanted to bet on myself.

1612
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 2: I wanted the opportunity to go Division one, ride the bench.

1613
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 2: If I have to be a training dummy, if I

1614
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 2: have to end up quitting and puttering out taking the

1615
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 2: chance of all of those possible scenarios happening. But if

1616
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 2: I didn't make that leap, if I didn't take that

1617
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 2: leap of faith, then I would have never known what

1618
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 2: could I have accomplished. Same thing here with the UFC.

1619
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 2: If I never went to the UFC, how would I

1620
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 2: sleep at night someday saying I was a pretty good

1621
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 2: at fighting, but I never fought the best guys in

1622
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 2: the world. I never fought in the mat in the

1623
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 2: biggest organization in the world. And the offer came in,

1624
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 2: I was ecstatic. I said, give me a pen, it's

1625
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 2: time to sign. And here we are.

1626
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: Oh, let's go. Did you're get in the blood fall?

1627
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: And you're getting me hype right now? So you so

1628
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: you are saying that UFC has the best fighters? Is

1629
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 1: that what you're saying?

1630
01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 2: One hundred percent? And for a long time, for a

1631
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 2: long time. You uh, you know, you want to be

1632
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 2: you want to be honest about the divisions, you want

1633
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 2: to be honest about the organizations, but you also, you know,

1634
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 2: you want to pander to your current employer as well.

1635
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 2: So the last thing I was going to do is say, yeah,

1636
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 2: I fight in Belatour, but I really want to fight

1637
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 2: those yess right right right there, much better than Beltour guys.

1638
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:20,680
Speaker 2: But that's not to say that there's not some standout

1639
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 2: guys in the Bellatoor organization. I believe that some of

1640
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 2: the champions in Bellator could very much give the UFC

1641
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 2: champions a run for their money. A few select guys,

1642
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 2: but as far as depth of roster, as far as

1643
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 2: worldwide recognition of the major sports organization that the UFC is,

1644
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 2: they are a well oiled machine. And that has been

1645
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 2: very apparent since day one. Since day one that I

1646
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 2: signed with them, I got twenty five new contacts in

1647
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 2: my phone of people who are high functioning individuals that

1648
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 2: are getting stuff done from day and White all the

1649
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 2: way down to you know, the Gophers who are just

1650
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 2: kind of coming on to the UFC staff. They are

1651
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:00,080
Speaker 2: a well oiled machine. You know, probably similar to it,

1652
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 2: probably somewhat rivals what a NFL organization team looks like.

1653
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 2: They have set it up that way and it is

1654
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 2: absolutely amazing.

1655
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 1: So you're saying that that's one of the big differences

1656
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: you've seen from Belatoor in the UFC is the organization

1657
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: in the way that their machine kind of functions, and

1658
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 1: Taylor Tours, Taylor's Taylor's towards guys like you are Taylor's

1659
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:21,360
Speaker 1: towards their fighters.

1660
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean, I think, you know,

1661
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,799
Speaker 2: And that's not to downplay what Beloatore has accomplished. Belotore

1662
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 2: has accomplished a that legitimate number two spot with some

1663
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,759
Speaker 2: really great standout fighters. They put on great shows. Scott

1664
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 2: Coker is a great promoter. But they run more of

1665
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 2: a skeleton crew compared to the UFC. You know, I

1666
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 2: was over in Abu Dhabi in October and they had

1667
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 2: one hundred something people there on staff, and that's just

1668
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 2: absolutely the exact opposite of Bellotore. They don't have a

1669
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 2: huge staff, but they do a really good job with

1670
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 2: the staff that they have. But the UFC is just

1671
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,799
Speaker 2: a well oiled machine, and there's a lot of pros

1672
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 2: and there's a couple of cons to that. Probably I'm

1673
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 2: sure that that some guys have kind of gone through.

1674
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 2: But for me thus far, signing with the UFC has

1675
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 2: been a huge, eye opening experience. It's been it's been

1676
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 2: nothing but amazing. The platform is huge. Immediately, the growth

1677
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 2: of my platform, the growth of my name, the growth

1678
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 2: of everything happened overnight, and it's somewhat has worked to

1679
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 2: my you know, I guess detriment in certain regards because

1680
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:24,759
Speaker 2: there was so much hype that has been me signing

1681
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 2: with the UFC and then becoming the backup fighter for

1682
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 2: that October twenty fourth world title fight that people feel

1683
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 2: like I've been signed with the organization for six months,

1684
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 2: eight months a year because they've heard so much about me.

1685
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 2: But it's only been a little over three months now,

1686
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 2: and in that short period of time, we've got a

1687
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,680
Speaker 2: lot of stuff done, built a big platform, and I

1688
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 2: can't wait to step into that octagon.

1689
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: Dude.

1690
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 2: I know.

1691
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: It has been truly amazing to watch because I obviously

1692
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: we got to know each other over the last year

1693
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 1: year and a half and it's been awesome to see

1694
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: kind of you transcend into the UFC and stuff like that.

1695
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: Correct me, if I'm wrong, but it seems like the

1696
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: timing has worked out very well for you on now

1697
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: being the right time to sign into the UFC. Because

1698
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: you signed, you've been with Bellator so Bellatore so long

1699
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: that you kind of turned into their poster boy, and

1700
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: now the timing just seems right to go into the UFC.

1701
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: Do you feel like guys who are deeper on like

1702
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: the UFC roster, do you think guys who aren't in

1703
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: line for title fights and stuff like that should maybe

1704
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 1: look at the road that you've kind of taken to

1705
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 1: get to the UFC. Because you've got to accomplish so

1706
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: much and become one of the poster boys for Bellator,

1707
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: you can kind of get spotlighted a little more since

1708
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 1: you're not in the running for all these title fights

1709
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: in the UFC.

1710
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent, you know, and everybody's got their

1711
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 2: own path and their own, you know, their own way

1712
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,839
Speaker 2: that they want to go. As I've said, the UFC

1713
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 2: is the premier mixed martial arts sports organization in the world.

1714
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 2: They are not losing any ground. If anything, they are

1715
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 2: doubling and tripling in size, so they will continue to dominate.

1716
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 2: But so every young guy that I'm training with at

1717
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,719
Speaker 2: Sanford MMA down here, or every young guy had come across.

1718
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 2: All they want to do is get those uf gloves

1719
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 2: and they want to get that UFC fight kid on.

1720
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 2: They want to go out there. We don't want to

1721
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 2: fight in front of that in front of Dana White

1722
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 2: and fighting that octagon. Trust me, I haven't done it yet,

1723
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 2: but it's going to be the highlight of my career

1724
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 2: the first time I stepped into that cage, and then

1725
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 2: and then so on whenever I win that world title.

1726
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 2: But there there is something to be said about the

1727
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 2: patient route that you're building brick by boring brick, and

1728
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 2: trust me, I've had to swallow my pride thousands of times.

1729
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 2: I've taken pictures for fans with my UFC fighter friends.

1730
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 2: I've been around my people like hey man, you trained

1731
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:34,799
Speaker 2: him a I'm like, yeah, I'm actually the belto world champion.

1732
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 2: But whatever, man, yeah here, let me take a picture

1733
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 2: of Ryan Bader. It's and I've had to swallow my pride.

1734
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 2: Now I've also been rewarded for that patience. You know,

1735
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 2: I'm now I've gotten a great now, I've gotten a

1736
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 2: great contract with the UFC. I've been thrust it into

1737
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 2: a top five opponent right away is what we're looking

1738
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 2: at and what I'm not settling for any less than

1739
01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 2: and I made a great living with beltour the goal.

1740
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,879
Speaker 2: And then this goes with any industry, your industry, you know, football,

1741
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:08,839
Speaker 2: any sports industry, any corporate industry. Make yourself an indispensable asset.

1742
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 2: And once you've made yourself an indispensable as set, your

1743
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 2: stock has risen so high that you can either continue

1744
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 2: in your course of action with your current company or

1745
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 2: be the hottest free agent on the market and it

1746
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 2: works out extremely well for you. And that's kind of

1747
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 2: where I was, and I was one of the biggest

1748
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 2: free agent signings of in mixed martial arts history. And

1749
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 2: that's what we've kind of seen over the last couple

1750
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,600
Speaker 2: of months. And it's it's been a great ride. And

1751
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 2: I owe a debt of gratitude to Bellatore and those

1752
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 2: guys who there who gave me a chance, gave me

1753
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 2: the platform. But then I also owe it to my

1754
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,639
Speaker 2: coaches and my training partners, the guys who have helped

1755
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 2: build me up and now here I am. I still

1756
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,599
Speaker 2: feel like the best version of myself. My last performance

1757
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 2: was arguably the best performance of my career. So how

1758
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 2: do you argue that I can't go out there and

1759
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 2: compete with the best guys in the world.

1760
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: Was that your pitch when you're sitting down with the UFC,

1761
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: and because you mentioned earlier, were kind of like telling

1762
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: your story about how you you can make you know,

1763
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 1: how you would make waves in the UFC. Put me

1764
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 1: in that conversation. Is that how you're kind of pitching

1765
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: yourself to Dana White? What's the strategy behind it? Like,

1766
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 1: what is going on in your in your mind? What

1767
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: makes the most sense if I'm the UFC talking to

1768
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:13,600
Speaker 1: you about this negotiation?

1769
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 2: You know, for me, it was And it was funny too.

1770
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 2: I was so nervous because you're nervous. It's like, oh,

1771
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 2: hell yeah, bro, you know you know it's it's Dana White,

1772
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 2: It's the UFC. It's this is what the culmination of

1773
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 2: all the hard work that I put in. I knew

1774
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 2: eventually I was going to get to this point and

1775
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,679
Speaker 2: get this opportunity, So don't screw it up, right, So right,

1776
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 2: you know, I texted my father in law and I

1777
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 2: was just like, hey, you know, say a prayer for me.

1778
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 2: I'm heading to the meeting. He sent me John one

1779
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 2: to five, He who lacks wisdom asked for it, and

1780
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 2: God will give it to you. Uh and and that's

1781
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 2: really what it was. Man. And I just said, God,

1782
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:47,559
Speaker 2: give me the wisdom, give me the wisdom of walking

1783
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 2: into this meeting, chess chest proud, chin up, letting these

1784
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 2: guys know that I'm going to be their, their, their

1785
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 2: world champion in the next twelve months. We had a

1786
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 2: great I had a great conversation with Hunter Campbell, who's

1787
01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 2: the number two and command in the UFC, the legal counsel, right,

1788
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 2: Dana White's legal counsel. He goes to him on everything,

1789
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 2: the one other guy in the organization who can make

1790
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,720
Speaker 2: the big decisions aside from Dana White. We had a

1791
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:10,560
Speaker 2: great conversation. I told him I was going to be

1792
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 2: world champion. I told him what I wanted to do.

1793
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 2: I want to be the good guy. I want to

1794
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 2: I want to be a good guy for the brand.

1795
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 2: I want to I know you got all these guys

1796
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 2: who are who are paying painting in the rears to

1797
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 2: deal with the heels. Trust me, I want to be

1798
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:26,720
Speaker 2: a good thing for your organization. Ten minutes later, Dana

1799
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 2: White calls me we have a five minute conversation. He

1800
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,559
Speaker 2: essentially hangs up on me because of our conversation was

1801
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 2: going so well and he got so pumped up. He

1802
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 2: hangs up on me, calls me back two minutes later,

1803
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 2: and he said, listen, I just talked to Hunter. I said,

1804
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 2: give him whatever, whatever the f we got to give you.

1805
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: Uh so you did you say that?

1806
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 2: You said that, That's what he said.

1807
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 1: Oh that's what he said. I was gonna say.

1808
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:46,879
Speaker 3: I was called.

1809
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 2: No he did, No, he did, and uh, you know,

1810
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 2: and really it was for me. I'll tell you what

1811
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 2: my It wasn't a sales pitch. It came from the

1812
01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 2: heart I told. I told Dana, I said, listen, listen, Dana,

1813
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 2: you don't you don't need me. You know, you have

1814
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 2: built the greatest mixed martial arts sports franchise in the

1815
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 2: history of the sport, the culmination of this sport, and

1816
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 2: you haven't paid me one dime. And your name hasn't

1817
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 2: been on one of my checks over the last ten years,

1818
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 2: but indirectly, your name has been on every single one

1819
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 2: of the checks that I've casted because of you bootstrapping

1820
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 2: and quarterbacking and building this whole sport of mixed martial arts.

1821
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 2: I owe it to I owe it to you. All

1822
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 2: of the money, all of the all of the success

1823
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 2: that I've had is all off the coattails of what

1824
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 2: you've done. And he's like, oh, that's awesome, and he

1825
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 2: hung He basically hangs out on me, you know.

1826
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: And agent when you get down.

1827
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 2: But the funny thing is like, it wasn't a sales pitch.

1828
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:43,559
Speaker 2: It wasn't tell this guy what he wants to hear.

1829
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 2: Like I, before I knew Dana White, I admired him

1830
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 2: for what he has done before I ever even signed

1831
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:54,240
Speaker 2: with the UFC. I truly, I truly believe that there

1832
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 2: are these there are these thought leaders and the shakers

1833
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 2: and movers in your industry that are paving the way

1834
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:02,679
Speaker 2: and building sports, building organizations, building pathways, building tech building

1835
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,960
Speaker 2: whatever industry that you're in. And that's what we talked about,

1836
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 2: you know, because he was like, I think you can

1837
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 2: do this here, I think you can do that here.

1838
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 2: I think we can do this for you. It's just different.

1839
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 2: Trust me, It's bigger than all these other organizations that

1840
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, Trust me, I believe it. I haven't not

1841
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:16,640
Speaker 2: fought for you because I didn't want to. It just

1842
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,680
Speaker 2: never worked out that way and worked out perfectly. Now

1843
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 2: he's my ball, So now I can't wait to go

1844
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 2: out there and fight for him.

1845
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 1: That's amazing. I love hearing that story. So you go

1846
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: from that conversation. Now you're with the UFC, You've been posting,

1847
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 1: your brand's been growing, like you're Michael Chandler. People are

1848
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: ready to see you fight. Now where you at right now,

1849
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:37,799
Speaker 1: you're in Florida, You're in the middle of a training camp.

1850
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 1: You're grinding basically, but you don't exactly know who you're

1851
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 1: going to be fighting. You had those conversations with Dana.

1852
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 1: Everybody's fired up signatures are on the dotted line. Now

1853
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: you're in the middle of a training camp and you're

1854
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: not necessarily knowing what's next. What do you think what

1855
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:53,719
Speaker 1: is next? What is coming up for you? Is it GAYTHEE,

1856
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 1: is it Ferguson? Is it What do you feel in

1857
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 1: your gut? Because you haven't really heard anything yet, So

1858
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: what do you feel like is coming? What is on

1859
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 1: the horizon for you? What's going on in your world

1860
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: right now?

1861
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? So originally when I signed, we had that that

1862
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 2: fight October twenty fourth in Abu Dhabi Kabebe was gonna

1863
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 2: fight Gaichie for the world title. They wanted me to

1864
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 2: fight in the Komane event against Tony Ferguson or Dustin Poorie.

1865
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 2: I said yes to both of those names. They both

1866
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:20,639
Speaker 2: said no. Turns out it worked out perfect for Dustin Poirier.

1867
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 2: He now he gets the counter fight, a nice, big

1868
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 2: money fight, big high profile fight for him. Tony Ferguson

1869
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,439
Speaker 2: not so much. He just had had to be kind

1870
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 2: of pushed into that December twelfth card, which I guess

1871
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 2: was what he wanted. He lost to Olivera. Now, so

1872
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,639
Speaker 2: Ferguson's kind of off the table. Olivera has now put

1873
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 2: his name kind of in that top five mix. Dan

1874
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 2: Hooker's in the top five mix. But Justin Gaigie's the

1875
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 2: fight that I want. Justin Gaigie, when he came over

1876
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 2: from World Series of Fighting a couple of years ago,

1877
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 2: he got a top five opponent right away. Justin Gaigie

1878
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 2: is the most highly ranked guy in the top five.

1879
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 2: We match up really well against each other. We're actually

1880
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 2: cut from the same cloth. He's cut from our cloth. Man.

1881
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 2: He's a he's a he's a wolf. Yeah, a small, small,

1882
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 2: town wrestler. Like also like I got to meet his

1883
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 2: mom and dad. They both came out. They're both humble beginnings.

1884
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:10,480
Speaker 2: You know, his dad works in the copper mines in Arizona.

1885
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,679
Speaker 2: You know, we run with the same crowds. We're very similar,

1886
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 2: and then our fight styles are similar. We want to

1887
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 2: bite down on our mouthpiece, come across that octagon and

1888
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 2: get into a fistfight. I think it's a perfect way

1889
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 2: to introduce myself to the UFC fans, finally give them

1890
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 2: what they want, which is me actually stepping inside that octagon.

1891
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 2: And I haven't not stepped into the octagon because I

1892
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:30,719
Speaker 2: didn't want to. I wanted to fight October twenty fourth.

1893
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:32,840
Speaker 2: I wanted to fight ferguson or Poria. It just didn't

1894
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 2: work out. Justin Gatgese's my number one My number one

1895
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 2: goal right now is to fight him, and I would

1896
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 2: love it to be January twenty third, on that Connor

1897
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 2: Poorier card. They might as well have another lightweight fight

1898
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 2: on that card, another high profile lightweight fight on that

1899
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 2: card in case anything weird happens with injuries or COVID

1900
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 2: or whatnot. You always got to have a backup plan.

1901
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 2: In the era of COVID right now. So that's best

1902
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 2: case scenario for me, and I'm training like that's what

1903
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: I'm fighting, So we'll see.

1904
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: Is it difficult training not knowing exactly what's about to

1905
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 1: happen because you're obviously in the middle of a training

1906
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 1: camp preparing like you're gonna fight in January? Is it weird?

1907
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 1: Does it make it difficult when you don't exactly know

1908
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 1: who your opponent is when you're going about your training.

1909
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 2: The funny thing is, if you would have asked me

1910
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 2: that three months ago, I would say, yeah, it's hard,

1911
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 2: But I've actually had an even harder scenario. Was me

1912
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 2: training six weeks down here, away from my family to

1913
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:27,639
Speaker 2: be the backup fighter for Kabeeb and Gaichee. So I'm

1914
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 2: training for both of those but knowing there's probably a

1915
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:31,720
Speaker 2: less than twenty percent chance that I'm actually going to

1916
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 2: fight one of these guys. So I signed on the

1917
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 2: dotted line to go to go to Abu Dhabi and

1918
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 2: be the backup fighter. You know, I don't get my

1919
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:43,160
Speaker 2: full purse and there was a very small chance that

1920
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna fight one of those guys. So I kind

1921
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 2: of felt like, man, this sucks. I'm away from my

1922
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 2: family and I'm probably not gonna fight this time. I

1923
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:50,879
Speaker 2: feel like I'm actually gonna fight. I'm down here training

1924
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 2: for in a training camp that will culminate in a fight.

1925
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's Geechee. I don't know if

1926
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 2: it's Hooker. I don't know if it's Olivera. I don't

1927
01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 2: know if it's Connor Orporie. If one of those fights,

1928
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 2: you know, falls through in the next week or so,

1929
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 2: who knows. But either way, my body, my mind, my

1930
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:07,680
Speaker 2: spirit needs to be ready January twenty third. So that's

1931
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 2: what I'm laying the groundwork for, laying the foundation for.

1932
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 2: So I have a goal in mind, and that's going

1933
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 2: to be a fight January twenty third. The opponent doesn't

1934
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 2: really matter too much, you know. There are one hundred

1935
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 2: and fifty five pounds. They got two arms, they got

1936
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 2: two legs. They have certain different attributes and idiosyncrasies and

1937
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 2: habits that they that they all possess. Game plan is

1938
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 2: always going to be pretty much similar for all three

1939
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 2: of those. It's they're all five six of those opponents

1940
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 2: in the top five and just train and be the

1941
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 2: best me I can be when I show up in

1942
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,560
Speaker 2: the cage inside that octagon January twenty third, hopefully.

1943
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 1: When you eventually become the lightweight champion of the UFC?

1944
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:49,520
Speaker 1: Are you bummed? Were you bummed the c kobeb retire?

1945
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:53,440
Speaker 1: Were you? Did you see that coming knowing the negotiations

1946
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 1: you were having, Like, did Kabib keep that so close

1947
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 1: to the vest that he didn't announce it until that moment?

1948
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 1: Or was that something you were prepared for or understood

1949
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 1: going into this contract with the UFC.

1950
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 2: No, I did not know that. And and truthfully, you know,

1951
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:09,760
Speaker 2: you never quite know, you know, what what is true

1952
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 2: or whatnot. But I mean talking to the UFC brass

1953
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 2: that night right after, right after it could be retired,

1954
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 2: they didn't even know it was coming, you know. So

1955
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was just an in the

1956
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,400
Speaker 2: moment thing, you know, to lay the ground or to

1957
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 2: lay like kind of the groundwork. Backstory, He had just

1958
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 2: lost his father a couple months before, and it wasn't

1959
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:29,679
Speaker 2: just his father, it was his mentor, his hero, his coach,

1960
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:33,400
Speaker 2: his everything to COVID too, Yeah, exactly, so you know

1961
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:36,439
Speaker 2: he I think he was just carrying the pressure and

1962
01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 2: the weight of all of that and wanted to step away.

1963
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 2: He is absolutely the best lightweight of all time, possibly

1964
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 2: pound for pound, best fighter on earth in the history

1965
01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 2: of mixed martial arts. He's ever he has failed to

1966
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:52,719
Speaker 2: ever look even close to beatable in any of his fights.

1967
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,679
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think the first moment being there cage side,

1968
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 2: and it worked out perfectly too. I had a mic on,

1969
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:00,839
Speaker 2: I had a camera on me to get my reaction

1970
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 2: and kind of break down the fight as it was happening. Yeah,

1971
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 2: and then it was just it was we were all

1972
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 2: kind of just in awe to be honest, that that

1973
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 2: he was making this speech that he was talking about

1974
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:13,200
Speaker 2: walking away. He had just got done finishing Justin Gaechee,

1975
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:15,000
Speaker 2: you know, one of the baddest dudes on the planet,

1976
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:18,959
Speaker 2: in the early in the second round and starts retiring,

1977
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 2: and it was almost like the pressure in the weight

1978
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 2: that was on his heart, on his soul was getting

1979
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 2: sucked out of that octagon and he was just letting it,

1980
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:29,839
Speaker 2: letting it off because he has been carrying that burden

1981
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 2: and the pain and the pressure for you know, six

1982
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 2: eight months leading up to that fight, and so part

1983
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:39,640
Speaker 2: of me my first thought was, man, this stinks. Man,

1984
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 2: I want to I want to beat that guy. That's

1985
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 2: the guy. If that's the number one guy in the world,

1986
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 2: if that's the number one guy in the history of

1987
01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 2: the lightweight division, that's the guy that I want to

1988
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:50,559
Speaker 2: compete against. But also I was also in awe of

1989
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:52,880
Speaker 2: the spectacular career that he had had, and I kind

1990
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 2: of took my competitor hat off and I put my

1991
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 2: fan my fan had on and just enjoyed the moment.

1992
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:01,240
Speaker 2: So I I think kuld be because a man of

1993
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 2: his word, he has also said he can come back

1994
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 2: with his mother's blessing.

1995
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:05,120
Speaker 8: Uh.

1996
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:07,320
Speaker 2: I think we'll see he could be compete again inside

1997
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:09,559
Speaker 2: the octagon. And I hope I'm holding that belt when

1998
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:11,640
Speaker 2: I when when he does, or I hope you know

1999
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 2: I'm fighting him for his belt when when he does.

2000
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be Uh. So you think he'll be back.

2001
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 2: It's it's hard, man, because I he doesn't need that,

2002
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 2: he doesn't need the money. You know, he was this

2003
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 2: is this is the guy who rubs elbows with with

2004
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin. He is he is like a He is

2005
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 2: the biggest sports superstar over there in that country, and

2006
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 2: he is the biggest he is the biggest Muslim athlete

2007
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 2: on the war in the world right now, he's starting

2008
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 2: his own fight promotions, he's starting online training. He's the

2009
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:42,559
Speaker 2: guy is set for life. He's even said and and

2010
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 2: I truly believe in when he says it. You know,

2011
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 2: some of us guys, also us as fighters, can say, oh,

2012
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,000
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna fight Connor. He he doesn't deserve to

2013
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:52,519
Speaker 2: fight me, when really, you know, behind closed doors, we're saying, hey,

2014
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 2: I'm taking that money fight. But I truly believe when

2015
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,040
Speaker 2: he says he doesn't want to fight Connor for the

2016
01:30:57,080 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 2: money because he doesn't think that Connor deserves it, I

2017
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:01,560
Speaker 2: truly leave it. Because the guy's set for life. He

2018
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 2: doesn't need to fight. He doesn't and if he doesn't

2019
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:05,639
Speaker 2: want to fight, he doesn't have to. So we'll see.

2020
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,880
Speaker 2: But I think I think twenty nine to zero is

2021
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:12,640
Speaker 2: just an interesting, almost just weird number to end on

2022
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:14,880
Speaker 2: your mind. Will make it even thirty, you know, I

2023
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:16,360
Speaker 2: think that's what we all thought. We all thought he

2024
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 2: would make it to thirty and oh and then retire.

2025
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:20,439
Speaker 2: So I think he's got one fight left in him,

2026
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,680
Speaker 2: if any. But then again, you never know this this

2027
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:27,519
Speaker 2: sport when it's taken away from you, you know, for

2028
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:29,840
Speaker 2: a short amount of time or a long period of time,

2029
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:31,640
Speaker 2: you get that itch pretty quick and you don't know

2030
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 2: it until you get there.

2031
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 1: Right when we're talking about all this real fighting happening,

2032
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 1: and when you look out into the mainstream of social

2033
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 1: media and everything else and you see the likes of

2034
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 1: Logan Paul calling out Connor McGregor yesterday we're talking right now.

2035
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:48,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that yesterday, but just

2036
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:52,200
Speaker 1: an obnoxious video calling out ConA McGregor and stuff like that.

2037
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:54,439
Speaker 1: When you see that kind of stuff going on, what

2038
01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:56,880
Speaker 1: is uh, what goes through your mind? What goes through

2039
01:31:56,920 --> 01:32:00,479
Speaker 1: your mind when you kind of see these influence or

2040
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 1: like you know the I mean really it's the Paul

2041
01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: brothers trying to put these fighting promotions and all this

2042
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 1: stuff together. Like from a real fighter's perspective, Like, what

2043
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:10,799
Speaker 1: is going through your mind? Did you see Nate Diaz react?

2044
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:15,080
Speaker 2: I did, Yeah, I saw that for free. Yeah, that

2045
01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:16,639
Speaker 2: would be that would be a good fight. I wouldn't

2046
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 2: be surprised if that happens. So Number one, I will

2047
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 2: always say I will never hate on another man for

2048
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:24,640
Speaker 2: making a living, for doing his thing, doing it. How

2049
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 2: do it do? I does do my does my moral

2050
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 2: fabric lineup with with you know, Jake Paul? Absolutely not.

2051
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 2: Would we be friends, absolutely not. But I'm not gonna

2052
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 2: hate on the man for what he's doing as a

2053
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:43,000
Speaker 2: real fighter in a real sports organization and a real

2054
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 2: competitive bracket where we're all trying to just become world champions.

2055
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 2: It it scares me a little bit because the eyeballs

2056
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 2: are there, the the hype is there, the pay per

2057
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:58,120
Speaker 2: view buys is there. Right there's you know, Connor goes

2058
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:01,599
Speaker 2: out beats Poorier. I go out there beat Hi olivera whoever.

2059
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 2: And he's got a you know, one hundred million dollar

2060
01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 2: fight against Jake Paul. He's probably taking a hundred million

2061
01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 2: to fight it out against Jake Paul. I'm not going

2062
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 2: to fault him for it. As a as a guy

2063
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:12,679
Speaker 2: who wants to provide for his family, I would fault

2064
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 2: him for it. As as a legitimate athlete. You know,

2065
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 2: as a legitimate athlete, you don't take those you don't

2066
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:21,439
Speaker 2: take those fights whenever you have good fights on the table.

2067
01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:25,200
Speaker 2: But then again, like I said, if you and me

2068
01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:27,560
Speaker 2: are having a conversation, you know, if I got a

2069
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,640
Speaker 2: hundred million dollar fight on the table, probably gonna go

2070
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 2: ahead and take that, you know. So, Uh, it's it's

2071
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:36,040
Speaker 2: scary because just like I said, I didn't sign with

2072
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:38,400
Speaker 2: the UFC years you know, two years ago, four years

2073
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:40,519
Speaker 2: ago when my contracts were up because there was log

2074
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 2: jams and there was weird stuff happening, and Connor going

2075
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:47,360
Speaker 2: over to fight fight floor. Now now Connor talking about

2076
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:50,639
Speaker 2: fighting Manny Pacio, and then now you're adding some YouTube

2077
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:53,719
Speaker 2: stars who can sell, you know, millions of pay per views.

2078
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:56,599
Speaker 2: You're just like, dang man, it's it's hard out here

2079
01:33:56,640 --> 01:33:57,519
Speaker 2: for the legit athletes.

2080
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:02,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and walking on a walking on the University

2081
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 1: of Missouri, scrapping the way you've scrapped all the way

2082
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:06,720
Speaker 1: to get finally get to this point. You got so

2083
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 1: you got some influencers, and you're right, like, it's hard

2084
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:12,479
Speaker 1: to hate on somebody trying to doing what they they're

2085
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:15,040
Speaker 1: able to accomplish and do. They've obviously built those platforms

2086
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:17,720
Speaker 1: for themselves, but it does got to sting and suck, Like, ay,

2087
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:21,400
Speaker 1: I fucking clawed for this ship, dude. Yeah, just for cursing.

2088
01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 1: I know you're not a big cursor. I got to

2089
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:23,200
Speaker 1: get better.

2090
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 2: You're good, No, you're good man. Uh, no, the uh,

2091
01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:28,320
Speaker 2: but it's funny too. Like think about if they started

2092
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:31,559
Speaker 2: NFL Blitz that, you know, like the same rules as

2093
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:33,760
Speaker 2: that game NFL Blitz we used to play with kids. Yeah,

2094
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:37,559
Speaker 2: be able to supplex people and punch it. Like, if

2095
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 2: they started a league like that, you'd be like, well,

2096
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:42,840
Speaker 2: that's not legitimate, but people are watching that because that's sensationalism.

2097
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:46,000
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Yeah, it's the same exact thing. You're like,

2098
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:49,439
Speaker 2: we're legit, we're legitimate football players over here trying to

2099
01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:53,200
Speaker 2: make a living doing what we're doing. And it's uh,

2100
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's uh, it's it's it's a little

2101
01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 2: bit scary, like I said, because the call out was real.

2102
01:34:57,960 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 2: He brought his wife into it. He you know, he.

2103
01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:03,759
Speaker 1: Dude, I know that's what I did. I wasn't like again,

2104
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:06,880
Speaker 1: like I wasn't necessarily hating on the Paul, Like like

2105
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:10,639
Speaker 1: Jake Paul, he beat Nate Robinson, he looked good doing it, YadA, YadA, YadA.

2106
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:13,040
Speaker 1: He's he's doing good, Like that's awesome that he's able

2107
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:15,439
Speaker 1: to do that. But when the whole the white stuff

2108
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 1: came out and everything else, I was like, man, what

2109
01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 1: what are we doing?

2110
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:21,200
Speaker 2: Like know, that funny thing is that's exactly that is

2111
01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:23,439
Speaker 2: exactly what I said, Like, what what are what are

2112
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:27,200
Speaker 2: we doing? Like? What is what is sports? What is

2113
01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:29,360
Speaker 2: what is the fight world? What is you know? But

2114
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:31,519
Speaker 2: then the pay per view numbers come out and you

2115
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:33,720
Speaker 2: realize they're selling pay per views and it and it

2116
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,600
Speaker 2: goes back to you know, I'll go back to my

2117
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:39,040
Speaker 2: past a little bit. When I was with Belatour, you'd

2118
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 2: have you know, if you remember this guy named Da

2119
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:44,799
Speaker 2: Da five thousand fought Kimbo Slice. Da Da five thousand

2120
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:48,559
Speaker 2: was like in an underground fight club league and and

2121
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 2: was on YouTube and Kimbo Slice was a YouTube star

2122
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 2: and they fought each other, and you had Ken Shamok

2123
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:55,800
Speaker 2: coming back and fighting Horse Gracy, all these like freak

2124
01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:58,519
Speaker 2: show fights they called it, but they got the most views,

2125
01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:00,600
Speaker 2: you know, and I benefit from it because I was

2126
01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:02,559
Speaker 2: always usually usually the co main event, and I got

2127
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:04,800
Speaker 2: a lot of eyeballs. But you're like, man, what are

2128
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 2: these freak show fights? And then now you got you know,

2129
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 2: Connor versus Floyd was. You know, they're both legitimate athletes,

2130
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:12,760
Speaker 2: but there was no way in a million years that

2131
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 2: Connor was ever going to even come close to beating

2132
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:17,920
Speaker 2: Floyd Mayweather unless he carried the fight, unless Floyd carried

2133
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 2: the fight, like kind of like you did. There's no

2134
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:22,679
Speaker 2: way in a million years that Jake Paul beats Connor McGregor.

2135
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:24,720
Speaker 2: But people are going to watch, if I know.

2136
01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:28,479
Speaker 1: I know, dude, I'm hoping, Like obviously Connor he's fighting again,

2137
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:29,880
Speaker 1: so I hope he gets back in the mix and

2138
01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 1: the UFC and stuff. But obviously there's money everywhere to

2139
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 1: be made these days. These guys have huge names and

2140
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,479
Speaker 1: eyeballs and stuff like that. When you become the champ,

2141
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:39,320
Speaker 1: the good guy needs to call it the bad guy,

2142
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:40,760
Speaker 1: and you need to try to get Jake Paul into

2143
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:42,200
Speaker 1: the octagon with Michael Chandler.

2144
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:44,720
Speaker 2: I'm down with that man. So we'll see, you know,

2145
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:46,280
Speaker 2: we'll talk to We'll talk to Dano about it. Like

2146
01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 2: he had some choice words for Dana, you know, so

2147
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:49,519
Speaker 2: we'll talk to Daniel about it.

2148
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:51,439
Speaker 1: I mean, that's true. He did have some choice sources

2149
01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 1: that I forgot about that he.

2150
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:55,760
Speaker 2: Did, you know, And just like, dude, just just sit

2151
01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:58,600
Speaker 2: back in your YouTube mansion and just I mean it

2152
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:00,800
Speaker 2: makes it like why why cont though, why you gotta

2153
01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:04,600
Speaker 2: go all the way straight? To the biggest global you know, uh,

2154
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,360
Speaker 2: combat sports superstar. Yeah, you know, I get you know,

2155
01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:09,800
Speaker 2: you couldn't fight someone else like a Diaz would be

2156
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:12,000
Speaker 2: a good, good option, maybe a little bit more on

2157
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:15,719
Speaker 2: the skill level, right, if you will. But then again,

2158
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:18,400
Speaker 2: if you're Jake Paul, go to the top, because the

2159
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:21,320
Speaker 2: chances of you getting what you want are are highly

2160
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:23,639
Speaker 2: a lot more likely than a lot of the rest

2161
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 2: of us.

2162
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:26,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think it'd be cool if like Connor literally

2163
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:29,800
Speaker 1: paid him no mind, like literally did not does not

2164
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:32,240
Speaker 1: ever speak his name or talk about it or anything.

2165
01:37:32,360 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't seen a response, so.

2166
01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know he's is he in a camp right

2167
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 1: now in counter he's probably gearing up to fight, so

2168
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 1: I hope nothing. It'd be cool if he just says nothing,

2169
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like pay him zero attention.

2170
01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 1: I was thinking it'd be hilarious if you're like the

2171
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 1: neighbor of Jake Paul and you're like sitting up on

2172
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:49,679
Speaker 1: the floor and you kind of look out the blind

2173
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 1: and you just kind of see that video and promotion

2174
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 1: going on. You're just saying, what the fuck is going

2175
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:54,400
Speaker 1: on out here?

2176
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 2: Well, no, if you're if you're Jake Paul's nabor. You're like, oh,

2177
01:37:57,600 --> 01:37:59,559
Speaker 2: Jake's being Jake right now, Like that's what you're used

2178
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:03,000
Speaker 2: to at list, it's showing up and and uh raiding

2179
01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:04,760
Speaker 2: your place. At least it's at least he's just doing

2180
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:05,479
Speaker 2: stupid right.
