00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. It is uh, let's see what day is today.

Speaker 1: It is Thursday, the fourteenth of January twenty twenty one,

3
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: and I'm a little bit late because my daughter was

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: having a fucking meltdown. Crazy. What is this? Ryan garcias

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: if he wants to retire by twenty six but told

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: us if he does keep fighting, it'll be in the octagon. Okay,

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: all right, I mean slow your role, Ryan, all right,

00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: get to uh, let's see, I don't know, quiet questions.

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: I saw some questions in there about Colby Covington. Maybe

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. A bunch of stuff. Whatever it is,

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: for the most part, I will do my best to

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: answer it. Thumbs up here if you can, on the

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: on the VID and all that, and without further Ado

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: let's get this party started, shall we? All right? There

Speaker 1: subscribe to this channel. We're only we're only I think,

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: like fifteen subs away from having seventy five k subs,

25
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: So we just need like fifteen or so of you

26
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: to click that button and we'll be in very good shape.

27
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: So if you'd be so kind as to do that,

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: it'd be greatly appreciated. All right, all right, so with

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: that cooking, hope everyone's having a great week. It is

30
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: a strange time here in Lisos status, But what are

31
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: you gonna do? All right, let's turn this off and

32
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: then get going on this, shall we? All right? Where

33
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: are your questions? I will pull them up now. We

34
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: put these, of course on the Morning Combat Community section.

35
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: That's where we put these, and so if you're looking

36
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: to get involved, I usually posted me the day before,

37
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: the day of, sometime in the morning or in the afternoon.

38
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: So let's get to them now, all right. Okay, interesting question, why,

39
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: in your opinion, has light heavyweight become such a European

40
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: centric division. Eight of the top sixteen competitors, including the

41
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: champion hail from Europe and the champion from the next

42
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: largest organization, BELTOUR also has a champion from Europe. That

43
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: is interesting, good question. I'm not sure I know the

44
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: answer to that. I mean, the one that would pop

45
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: up to my mind could just be it's a moment

46
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: in time where you're just this is sort of a

47
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: natural turn of events. That's one answer. The other answer

48
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: could be, you know this is you know, guys that

49
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: size in Europe would be probably playing rugby something like that,

50
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: or you know, there's not a whole lot of opportunity

51
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: for it. If you're like six two six three six four,

52
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: you have to be really good to play high level basketball.

53
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: So I don't think they're getting recruited for that necessarily either.

54
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: So my best guess on all of this is probably

55
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: it's a function of these are a selection of athletes

56
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: from a place where you're gonna have a little bit

57
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: of overfill from this particular category. Because if you're this

58
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: size in other sports, you can play a lot of

59
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: different American sports, right So, you can play baseball, you

60
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: could play basketball. It'd be a little bit harder, but

61
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: you could do it. Obviously, you could play American football,

62
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: you could play if you could drill down your size

63
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: a little bit you could play soccer. Of course, you

64
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: could play soccer obviously in Europe too, that's less of

65
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: a thing. But I mean it's probably a little bit

66
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: easier to make teams over here than it is over there.

67
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: So I'm guessing it's just what is available from the population,

68
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: because if it's you know, if there was like this

69
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: massive wave of European talent, and obviously on some level

70
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: there has been a steady growth of it, but I

71
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: mean if there were like a massive invasion across all

72
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: divisions where like you're asking the same question, where eight

73
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: of the top sixteen and every division was like this,

74
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: you would probably just say, you know, best practices across

75
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: the continent just caught up. But because it's sort of

76
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: centralized around one division, which is the kind of division

77
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: where you're a little bit too big for soccer for

78
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: the probably the European side of things, you could play rugby,

79
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: but that would be fairly super elite, I would imagine,

80
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: So you're getting some of the people who just don't

81
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: necessarily fit directly into that into that category, I'm guessing.

82
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: But it's a great it's a great thing to sort

83
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: of study and wonder because off the top of my head.

84
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that I know the answer

85
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: to that. In fact, i'm certain that I don't. What

86
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: do you think of Yusada's updated THHC regulation changes? Do

87
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: you think it's played a part in Nate's return? Maybe?

88
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: Maybe one never knows? What do I think about it?

89
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you know it's hard to be you know,

90
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: you couldn't be mad at it, could you. I mean,

91
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: you have to be really insane to be like, this

92
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: is a terrible thing. It's not a terrible thing. It's

93
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. It's a it's a it's a

94
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: it's a more humane policy. Uh, it's a more scientifically

95
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: defensible policy. It's a rational policy. You know, it's a

96
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: lot of things that I think are it makes it.

97
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: If it's good, it's good. It's a good thing. Here's

98
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: the thing I just don't get. And I tweeted this out,

99
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: So if you don't follow me on Twitter, maybe you should,

100
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: or at least, you know, for a moment, just check

101
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: my feed. I would encourage it, unless I've blocked you,

102
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: in which case, fuck off. But I wrote an article

103
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: I interviewed Jacob Sullom from Reason magazine. And I don't

104
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: agree with Jacob on everything, or in fact, maybe even

105
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: most things, but he had a really he wrote a

106
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: really transformative book that changed my opinion on a lot

107
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: of things. And it's called Indefensive Drug Use, And basically

108
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: what it goes through is like it does not argue

109
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: that there is no bad side to using drugs. You know,

110
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: over the counter tylanaw can be lethal if you take

111
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: too much of it. Of course, there are any number

112
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: of ill effects that come from drug use. The question

113
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: is how do you mitigate those harms, how do you

114
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: reduce those harms? How do you live it in the

115
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: best kind of society where people might be able to

116
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: get some productive end from it. But we don't throw

117
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: people in jail who don't need to be there, and

118
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: we don't exacerbate the harms that come from having drugs

119
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: in society. And so what you would end up really

120
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: sort of realizing is that much of what we understand

121
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: about drugs is just nonsense. It's really not quite true,

122
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: very little of an evidentiary basis for it, and there

123
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: is a good reason to have a much more permissive

124
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: attitude about drug use in society. Okay, why is that relevant. Well,

125
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: a big portion of the book is devoted to marijuana,

126
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: and I recall reading in the book. You know, this

127
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: must have been two thousand and four or so. I'm

128
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: not sure when the book was published. I might be

129
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: getting it wrong, but around that time, and I was

130
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: reading it in paperback at that time, so it must

131
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: have really been out for a while. And what the

132
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: book clearly argues in that moment is they've done a

133
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: lot of work on what constitutes field sobriety for marijuana.

134
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: How do you determine it? And in the book it's

135
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: quite clear. And then of course you know he's not

136
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: just making it up. This is all based off of

137
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: existing research at that time that your analysis cannot tell

138
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: you when somebody used, just that they used marijuana. Marijuana

139
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: is really quite interesting, right because because it's fat soluble,

140
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: it can stay in the body much longer than say cocaine. Cocaine,

141
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: I think most would argue, has a greater harm potential

142
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: than marijuana, but actually is a relative to marijuana, much

143
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: harder to detect, that comes in and out of the

144
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: system much more quickly. Marijuana, while much of a safer

145
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: drug relative to cocaine, sticks around much longer. And so

146
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: what you guys notice, and I've been arguing against this,

147
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: I tweeted it out. Today's why I bring it up.

148
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: I interviewed Jacob almost ten years ago, okay, talking about

149
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: this very fact, like it's not scientific to say the

150
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: reason why the Divided Commission wanted to hem up Diaz

151
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: for the Condit fight is because while we don't want

152
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: anyone competing in the cave. Hi, okay, fair enough, Well

153
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: how do you determine that? Well their answer was a

154
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: your analysis and that's just not scientific at all at all.

155
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: And again, please go. I think that was actually my

156
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: first major feature I wrote for MMA Fighting when I

157
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: started working for them back when they when Vox acquired

158
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: them from AOL. And so anyway, why is that relevant? Well,

159
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: today UFC comes out via Jeff Novitsky, and here's what

160
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: he says. Quote, while we want to continue to prevent

161
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: athletes from competing under the influence of marijuana, and we

162
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: have learned that urinary levels of CARBOXYTCHC are highly variable

163
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: after out of competition use and have poor scientific correlation

164
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: to in competition impairment. THC is fat soluble, meaning that

165
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: once it is ingested, it is stored in fatty tissues

166
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: and organs in the body and can be released back

167
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: into the into circulation, and consequently, CARBOXYTCHC appears in the urine,

168
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: sometimes long after ingestion. It is therefore not an ideal

169
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: marker in athletes to indicate in competition impairment. Yeah, no

170
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: fucking shit, Jeff, no fucking shit. We've known this for

171
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: at least fifteen years. This is not new this. USADA

172
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: did not discover this in the last how long they've

173
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: been with UFC, about six years or so, give or

174
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: take five, six or seven. They did not discover that

175
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: in that timeframe. It was understood well before this, well

176
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: before this, and so you have to ask yourself, what

177
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: the fuck took you so long? You know, this is

178
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 1: a bureaucratic institution in USADA, which obviously has competing It

179
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: has some limits about what it's able to do in

180
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: terms of the choices that it makes about what to

181
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: ban what not to ban by virtue of the United

182
00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: States being a a wad Coode signatory. So there are

183
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: obviously some issues there. I get. But if this is

184
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: a private client, you know, I would have hoped that

185
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: there could be moved on which it is. I would

186
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: hope that this could be moved on issues much more

187
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: quickly and more to the point. It's like, Okay, is

188
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: this a good thing that they did? It certainly is

189
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: not bad. But what are we gonna do about all

190
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: the people who lost money or time or whatever from

191
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: the point of which this was known? And I wrote

192
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: that article in twenty eleven, and it was known well

193
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: before that. So let's be very conservative and say, twenty ten,

194
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do about all the folks who

195
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: got hemmed up in the last eleven years? Now, much

196
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: of that, a huge portion of that has nothing to

197
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: do with you, Sada, because they didn't get brought into

198
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: the UFC until a Brown twenty fourteen or so. The commission,

199
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: by the way, then and still today, if they catch

200
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: you with it, they're gonna they're gonna bust you. SADA

201
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: can't do anything about that. So it's not their fault

202
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: in that way. But like, for example, I saw violent

203
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: Bob Ross was talking about this on Instagram. Uh, the

204
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 1: THHC was detected in a test by USA or you

205
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: saw to gave the information to the relevant State Athletic

206
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: Commission and then from there the Athletic Commission sent on

207
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: the punishment is UFC or excuse me, I should say,

208
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: is you saw gonna stop testing for it, stop sending

209
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: them info? How does that part of it work? It

210
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: remains somewhat unclear, But it's like it's like, dude, you know,

211
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: and you should go back and read what people said

212
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: about marijuana and like what a hazard it was to

213
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: health and safety or that it was this major performance

214
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: en answered again, you don't want people competing under it whatever.

215
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: The truth of it is that some people can get

216
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: their senses dulled and that may help some people, you know,

217
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: deal with pain thresholds, or it slow some down whatever,

218
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: good bad or indifferent. Probably you know, you want people

219
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: competing sober, fine, But like this is this is this

220
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: was well established in research over a decade ago. Over

221
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: a decade ago. They knew this, they knew they knew,

222
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: they knew this, and you're getting around to it now,

223
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, we're at the cutting edge.

224
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: Dude.

225
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: Let me explain something to you. Progress on drugs happens

226
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: at a glacial pace. And they will say the most

227
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: insane when I say, I mean the sort of authority

228
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: is charged with any kind of level of enforcement about it,

229
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: whether it's a private organization like this or law enforcement

230
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: or whatever, they will say the most insane things about

231
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: it until they just no longer can. They will keep

232
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: up the charade as long as they can because it's

233
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: a method of control that they can use to exert

234
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: their influence and their power and sort of have their say.

235
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: So great, they don't, They're not going to do that anymore.

236
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: It feels like, but you know, you could have done

237
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: this from day fucking one. You could, I mean, you know,

238
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't. Or maybe they've waited till I'm not sure

239
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: of why to change the code and then this was

240
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: the license that enabled them to do it. Maybe maybe

241
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: that is it. I have to double check, so in

242
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: all fairness that you saw it, I have to double check.

243
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: But either way, let's just say worldwide anti doping authorities

244
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: are desperately behind the times. They're behind the times on

245
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: the things that got Lioto Machido hend hemmed up. And

246
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: I got news for everybody else. I've been trying to

247
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: tell everyone this, and I've recommended reading about one percent

248
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: of one percent of one percent have done it. And

249
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: those that have all come back to me and say,

250
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: holy shit, I didn't consider these things in the way

251
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: that you know had been presented previously. You know, there's

252
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: a truth to be told about the reality of performance

253
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: dancing drugs in our sport as well, and it's not

254
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: the one that you saw it as telling you. But

255
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: how close are we to change on that? We're not

256
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: even remotely close. We are still in the stage where

257
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: they think that and you saw it, did cheer this

258
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: explicitly throwing people in jail is really going to solve

259
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: this problem. Not athletes yet. But you know what's preventing that,

260
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, appetite and their ability to persuade people that

261
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: it's a thing that they could do other than that nothing. So,

262
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, congratulations on catching up with information we've known

263
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: for the better part of fifteen, maybe twenty years. Great

264
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on a win lose draw round system with the

265
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: same priority of effective striking first, et cetera over the

266
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: ten point must system, although I don't know how to

267
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: take files. Do account win, lose or draw like you

268
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: win the round or you lose the round or the

269
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: rounds of draw, and then you add upho as two

270
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: wins or three in the case of a five Roun.

271
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you give

272
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: us any insight into your transition from dissected to technical difficulties? Oh?

273
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: How I wish what happened? Also, how long does it

274
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: take you on average to make one start to finish? Well,

275
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: I've got to do it much faster. I mean, here's

276
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: how it goes. I got to watch the fights in

277
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: real time. Then I have to record it, but I'll

278
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: usually record it as I watch in real time. Obviously,

279
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: Then I have to go through and I have the

280
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: I'll have I have a mac here and I'll watch

281
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: it on the Mac, and then I have a series

282
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: of note taking apps on my PC, and I will

283
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: watch it in slow motion, and I go through with

284
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: time stamps anytime any kind of event happens. What's an event?

285
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: A strike lands, a major strike is thrown, some kind

286
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: of noticeable fate, and I will time stamp it for

287
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: everything through all five rounds or every three rounds, or

288
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: how as long as the about last, which why I

289
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: sort of prefer short bouts, because five round fight getting

290
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: all of that inventory takes a considerable amount of time.

291
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: Once I've done that, patterns begin to emerge. Most fights

292
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: have patterns. Guys will try things. Either they work or

293
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: they don't, or they work a little bit, and then

294
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: they build on it, and then once they work, they

295
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: sort of go back to the well over and over

296
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: and over again. That's really the big takeaway from fights

297
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: is that things land for a reason, and they land

298
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: in repetition. Very little of it is an accident. Happens sometimes,

299
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: but certainly not that often. So once I can see

300
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: what those patterns are and I can then make a

301
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: list of it, and then I can define it in

302
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: a coherent way. I have to make the graphic. I

303
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: have to edit the footage in a way that is

304
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: you know, condensed. Usually around a total of two minutes

305
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: or so is what I'm looking at. That's my sweet

306
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: spot for footage. Sometimes I go well over, sometimes I

307
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: go under, but that's what I'm looking for. Then I

308
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: use airplay to send it to my iPad. iPad gets

309
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: set up on the TV. TV have to set up.

310
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: Then have to set up the lighting. Then I have

311
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: to move this camera that you're watching it on over

312
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: to this side of the room. I have to pull

313
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: this desk back. I have to check all the lighting

314
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: so make sure the TV is not reflecting it. Make

315
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: sure that the recording settings are what I need and

316
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: I have enough room on it. I have to record

317
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: on Audacity here. So once that is all done, you know,

318
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: I've measured everything, then I have to pull the card out.

319
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: I have to put it in here to the camera

320
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: or the pull the card out of the camera, put

321
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: it into the Mac. To edit, I have to email

322
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: myself the audio. I have to adjust the audio to

323
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: the best that I can, and then I have to

324
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: begin editing. Once the editing is done, then I have

325
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: to render it. Once the rendering is done, then I

326
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: have to upload it. Then I have to make the thumbnail.

327
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: And you can see it takes a fuck load of effort.

328
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: It takes an absolute metric ton of effort, which is

329
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: why I'm hoping at some point I can get this

330
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: coronavirus vaccine and we could start doing those Monday shows again,

331
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: because that way I can still, you know, do the

332
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: things that I need to do. Although you know what

333
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: that would be for dissected, which I can't really do

334
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: much anymore. You know, it still kind of on me. Yeah,

335
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: I need some kind of a solution. What I would

336
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: need is I need a bigger space where I could

337
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: just leave the setup for technical difficulties in place and

338
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: then just turn lights on, turn cameras on, and go

339
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: because everything else is so fucking labor intensive. I mean,

340
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: my room is small. You want like a piece of

341
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: advice for like a YouTube studio, put as much as

342
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: you can on wheels. If you have a TV or

343
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: a monitor, put it on wheels. If you have a

344
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: lectern or some kind of podium, put it on wheels.

345
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: If you have lights, put them on wheels. If you

346
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: have any kind of c stand, put it on wheels.

347
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: Because you can take a very small space and then

348
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: you can just move stuff. Put your desk on wheels,

349
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: put your chair on wheels, put storage on wheels, put

350
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: anything you can on wheels. Because what it will allow

351
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: you to do is take a very small space and

352
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: then just rearrange things. The one downside to that is

353
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: while you can really maximize the space and which is

354
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: what I've been able to do, you have to readjust

355
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: everything for every single shoot, and it just becomes incredibly

356
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: labor intensive. Why I had to switch, I can't really

357
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: tell you. So it just is what it is. It's stupid,

358
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. In hindsight. Did the

359
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix have the best fighters in any

360
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: tournament ever? I don't think so. I think some of

361
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: the rings tournaments were pretty stacked. It had arguably three

362
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: heavyweight goats in a DC, Verdoom and Fador. Well, I mean,

363
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: if you're the greatest of all time, there's only one

364
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: of you. But I know what you mean. You have

365
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: three of the top let's say five or seven heavyweights ever,

366
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: And that's not even mentioning UFC Champs Barnett and Orlowski,

367
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: nor is it mentioning Overine. Certainly was pretty good at

368
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: the time, DC was not recognized as such, nor was Verdom,

369
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: and Fador was kind of off peak. But yes, in

370
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: the sense that you had really important names in the tournament,

371
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: that's true. But you know, where was DC ranked among

372
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: heavyweights at the time, Not that high. Verdom, I think

373
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: I was doing well, but you know, did not really

374
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: achieve the verdoome that we know until a second in

375
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: UFC stint following that where he was able to capture

376
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: the belt, right, and then Fador again will sort of

377
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: post a little bit, a little bit off prime by

378
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: that point, Amy says, a nice comment. Thank you amy

379
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: h favorite Diego Sanchez moment. Yeah, this is an easy

380
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: one for me. I don't know if the video is

381
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: still out there somewhere. I hope that it is because

382
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: you got to see it, and it's somewhat marred by

383
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: the reality of the fight. But Diego Sanchez fought Martin Campman,

384
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: and it's really unfortunate because Martin Campman deserved to win

385
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: that fight. And I don't think that's a very crazy

386
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: thing to say. You could probably go back and watch

387
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: it on fight Pass and I doubt you would come

388
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: to a separate conclusion. But what is not debatable is

389
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: that Diego, you know, maintained fiery intensity throughout the entirety

390
00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: of that bout. He had sustained terrible facial injuries to

391
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: the point where it looked like parts of that I'm

392
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: not exaggerating, Like, go watch the fight. There were parts

393
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: where it looked like his face was falling off. He

394
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: If you're asking like how did he end up winning

395
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: if he should not have, it was that intensity. He

396
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: would drive forward and he would throw a bunch of

397
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: strikes and I think the judges thought they were landing

398
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: when if you look kind of closely, they were not,

399
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: So there was this level of just activity. It wasn't

400
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: really coordinated in a way that was supposed to be

401
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: considered effective by modern standards. But neither here nor there.

402
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: Well why am I bringing this up? Well, you know,

403
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: whether you thought he won or he lost, you know,

404
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: to maintain that kind of intensity amidst that amount of

405
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: damage is just ridiculous. That he walked out. It's the

406
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: only time he's ever done it. But he walked out

407
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: to that fight with La Bamba, you know, which is

408
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: sort of a really interesting song in the way which

409
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, if you consider sort of its history to

410
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: the the Southwest Latino population, you know, and we're talking

411
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: like the Richie Valence cover here, and you know, so like, honestly,

412
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: I got the chills when he walked out to it,

413
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you, Like it just fit.

414
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: It totally fit the moment. He has this really brutal,

415
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: brutal fight where he gets fucked up, but you would

416
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: have thought that he by his attitude, went and dominated.

417
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: So what is my favorite moment is that that? No,

418
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: my favorite moment is there's a video that aired, I

419
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: think because I think that fight was on verses at

420
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: the time. There was a video that I saw afterwards

421
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: where Diego's getting his face stitched up. I don't even

422
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: think he got anesthetic. I think they just went right

423
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: to work on him. And Lorenzo for Tita and Daniel

424
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: White went backstage to check on him to see how

425
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: he was doing, and they're like even They were like, fuck, man,

426
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: are you okay? And he sits up in the chair,

427
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, and there's like, you know, it's a medical situation,

428
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: and I think he had been either fully stitched up

429
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 1: or he was just about done. And he you know,

430
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 1: and there's blood and his face's lip is all fucked up.

431
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he was fucked up in that fight. And

432
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: he pounds his chest like this and just goes quoras song,

433
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: Quora song, quorasong, which means hard for folks who don't

434
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: know quaras on and he and he looks into the

435
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: camera and he's like, I'll you know, something to the

436
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: effect of I'll never quit. I've got quotas on, you know,

437
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: and you know, and I've got just tons of heart.

438
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: And I was just thinking to myself, like, holy fucking shit, man.

439
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: Like.

440
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 1: Diego is what it's like to be on bath salts.

441
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: While being sober, you know what I mean, Like you,

442
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: every time that there's a zombie movie, the zombie is

443
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: portrayed a little bit differently. You know, like if you

444
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: watch the zombies in The Walking Dead, they kind of

445
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: walk like, you know, World War Two veterans, you know,

446
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: the kind of hobbling along. Ah. You know, they're not

447
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,239
Speaker 1: they don't look all that intimidating. They just win by

448
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: force of how many there are. But they're not gonna

449
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: win any arm wrestling contest, right if you watch the

450
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: zombies and trained to busan their fucking ravenous full speed,

451
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, ah, you know, headbutting doors and fucking ripping

452
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: open flesh. Diego's more like that. He was more like

453
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: the zombie and trained to busan. And then just I

454
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: mean you just the guy looked like he was in

455
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: the most severe car accident, and from the way he

456
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: was talking, you would have guessed, you know that he

457
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: came out of there looking clean as shit, just not

458
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: a scratch on him. I was just I was blown

459
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: away by the level of mental fortitude and focus that

460
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: he had at that time. And you know this is

461
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: why I like for me. You know, when he to me,

462
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: he probably quit in that Perira fight. You know, we

463
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: had a big debate about it. Maybe he did, maybe

464
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: he didn't. But this is what I mean. It's like,

465
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: am I really gonna beat that dude up for quitting

466
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: at the very tail end of his career? Okay? You

467
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: probably you know, if you don't want to be in

468
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: a fight, you should not be in it, and you

469
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: should and if you're gonna quit, you shouldn't deny that

470
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: you quit. You know, there's a lot again, I don't

471
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: want to rehash the debate again, but it's like, dude,

472
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: if anybody, if anybody has earned a mull again, it's

473
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: that guy, you know. And when you just see some

474
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: of the shit he has done, sometimes winning by the way,

475
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: with just I mean, I would love to see his mouthpieces.

476
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: I bet he's the only guy who could bite all

477
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: the way through it. It's just because I that is

478
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: to me. I'll never forget that moment. I was sitting

479
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: right out here, am I in my living room watching

480
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: that just being like Jesus christ Man, how does somebody

481
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: do that? You know, Let's see, I'm trying to get

482
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: to the ones that have more thumbs up than not.

483
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: I just watched the Econnor McGregor interview on the Weighing

484
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: In podcast, and he said weigh ins for uf two

485
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: f seven or two days before instead of one day

486
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: before the event? Is that true? I don't think that's true.

487
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: Is that true? Are they just doing that shit now?

488
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: I would need to have that verified. Yeah, I would

489
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: need to have that verified. I don't know if that's true.

490
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't think you can do that. Maybe in terms

491
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: of like where it airs versus when it's done, there's

492
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: like an extra you know, time difference such that it

493
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: will be you know, like Australians watch UFC technically on

494
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: Sunday morning. Maybe he means that, I'm not Maybe he's right.

495
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: I have to double check, but I'd not heard that.

496
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: Where would you point someone to hear your most comprehensive

497
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: written or on Mike explanation of reviews on pedus? Sadly,

498
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: I've got them all over the place, and I don't

499
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: think I've ever made one sort of magnum opus on it.

500
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: But I've always told people, if you want to get

501
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: some good reading in on this, the best place to

502
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: do it is Paul DeMeo and Werner Muller, The Anti

503
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: Doping crisis in sport. It's available for cheap on Amazon.

504
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: Go read it. I don't ape everything that they say

505
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: in there, in fact, have some real spots of disagreement,

506
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: but in general that will give you a pretty clar

507
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: indication of why, you know, hammering these guys and ladies

508
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: and engaging in all these privacy invasions is a complete

509
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: waste of time and not justified and not really going

510
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 1: to solve the problem long term anyway. Are they're like, oh,

511
00:28:49,760 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: here we go, We've seen and how general Sports World

512
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: and ESPN reacted to the Capitol Building being tarnished last week,

513
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: even though they turned a blind eye over Chinese concentration

514
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: camps and last year's Summer Riots. But how do you

515
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: think the UFC fighters who are pro Trump, such as Masvidal,

516
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Colby and others will respond should a question be brought

517
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: up about it? And depending on how they react, could

518
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: it affect how they are perceived to the rest of

519
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: the sports world. Maybe I don't think so, unless they

520
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: had a really wacky take, you know, unless they were like, yeah,

521
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was great. You know, that might attract

522
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: some attention because you guys saw there was that gold

523
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: medal a swimmer who went into the Capitol then got

524
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: arrested because he's a fucking idiot. But more to the point,

525
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, you know, Disney totally total hypocrites morally,

526
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: So you know, by the way, I actually thought that

527
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: they handled it pretty well. For Saturday's game between Washington

528
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: football team and who the fuck they play Tom Brady

529
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: and the Buccaneers, Mike Turrico kind of made an allusion

530
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: to it about how bad it was and then just

531
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: moved on, like they didn't just sit there and have

532
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: a long conversation and give their takes and what they thought,

533
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: which for a live broadcast I thought was probably the

534
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: better call. I mean, there is an actual game going on,

535
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: you know. I realized that that's what I do on

536
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: this one. But I'm not in the middle of a game, right,

537
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm not in the middle of a fight. If you're

538
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of an actual sporting event, probably best

539
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: to focus your attention on that. You don't want to

540
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: say nothing, especially when it involves a team from that city.

541
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: But I thought they handled it pretty well. So there's that.

542
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, here's probably what's going to happen. I mean,

543
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, I certainly am in no position to

544
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: speak for Masbadal or Colby, but I think if you

545
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: just look at a lot of the response from the right,

546
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: a fair amount of it has been some variety of

547
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: they still support the president or the President's causes, but

548
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: that there's no place for violence, right although there was

549
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: was it a galloper you have pulled that, like forty

550
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: five percent of Republicans at the Capitol mobbing was justified.

551
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we have deep problems in this country.

552
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: But I think in general you'll get something like that, like,

553
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, President Trump was done wrong. I support him,

554
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: but obviously, like the President even said, because the President

555
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: did come out this week with a statement probably you know,

556
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: somewhat at gunpoint, but he did do it demanding that

557
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: there be no violence on the inauguration, and so it'll

558
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: they'll probably thread the needle that way. You know, we

559
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: still support these causes for whatever that is worth, but

560
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: we certainly don't condone, you know, cops being killed or

561
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, that sort of a thing. So unless they

562
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: really veer from that, I think they'll be fine, honestly,

563
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, and they didn't go you know, Pat Militan's

564
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: got into trouble because he went, but they didn't go,

565
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: so you know, I think they'll be fine. Is there

566
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: a particular reason that the team of commentators that will

567
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: be calling the upcoming fights are never listed along with

568
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the information about the bout, fighters, etc.

569
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: We never know the complete commentary team. Do they show

570
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: up on our screen? Sort of? Not true. The UFC

571
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: often will or ESPN one of the two. I have

572
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: to go and check who it comes from. I have

573
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: my I pad in front of me, but they will

574
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: email that information out ahead of time. Typically they'll tell

575
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: you who's going to be on there, so you the

576
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: average person may not know. And I don't think media

577
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: goes through those emails and like, oh, someone is gonna

578
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: call a fight. I don't think they really care. But

579
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: typically they'll announce it there. Luke, I'm a fan of

580
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: your tattoos. Well, you haven't seen all of them, because

581
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: I got some ones that suck. Did you always want

582
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: tattoos or was there a period of time when you

583
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: thought you would never get any or would live to

584
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: regret potentially getting any tats. I am twenty two and

585
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: considering getting a tattoo, but don't know what I want yet,

586
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: or if it is something I may regret when I'm older.

587
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: If that's how you feel, you probably should not get one,

588
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: least not right now. Number one is what I would say.

589
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: Number two, the thing I would say is did you

590
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: always want tattoos? Yes, I've worn them for a very

591
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: long time. Was there a period of time when you

592
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: thought you would never get any? Nope? I mean before

593
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: I was you know, I ever considered the question, but

594
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: once I begin to consider it, it was over. Or

595
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: would live to regret potentially getting any tats? No, I've

596
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: got some bad tats. I got a really I got

597
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: some stupid ones in college. Luckily they're small enough where

598
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: a real big cover up will totally conceal it. So

599
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to get some cover ups. I've got some

600
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: good ones too, you know, I think this is a

601
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: really good one. I've got meat tags here on my ribs.

602
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: So if you guys don't know what meat tags is.

603
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: Back in the day before dog tags, a lot of

604
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: infantrymen would you know, get their information if they died

605
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: tattooed on their body so they could be identified. And

606
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: if you're in combat arms, it's sort of a thing

607
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 1: that you would sort of a tradition you would carry

608
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: on with. So I've got basically that my dog tag

609
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: information tattooed on the side of my ribs. That was

610
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: not a very fun tattoo, but it didn't last very long,

611
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: like thirty forty five minutes, so you just suck it

612
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: up and do it. But yeah, like I would like

613
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: to get this whole sleeve. This one, I'm just gonna

614
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: add pieces to it. I want to get. I have

615
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: a tattoo on my chest here, I want to get

616
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: it covered up all the way to off my neck exactly.

617
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: But let's say collarbone area. I want to get a

618
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: tattoo piece totally covering one leg. Yeah, like I want.

619
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: I want to be very much covered. But it takes time,

620
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: takes money. I gotta find the right specialist. I had

621
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: someone reach out the other day asking for like advice

622
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: on a tattoo that's get. He was showing me the

623
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: work of one guy on Instagram, and the guy was

624
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: pretty talented. And you know, the first thing I told

625
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: him was, I am no exp on tattoos. Please believe me.

626
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: I am not. I'm just a guy who's gotten him.

627
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: I've got that's got one, two, three, four, five, six.

628
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: I got six or seven tattoos. I have a double check.

629
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: I can't even think right right now, but I've got

630
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: them on my back, arm, ribs, chest, stomach. You know,

631
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: I've got a fair amount at this point. And so

632
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: the one thing I had learned was if you go

633
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: to somebody who can do a lot, and he's pretty good,

634
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: maybe even like very good in certain parts of it,

635
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna get a good tattoo. I don't think

636
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with that, but for me personally, and again,

637
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: always consult with an expert. You know, please don't take

638
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,959
Speaker 1: my word for it, but the way I feel about

639
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: it is, from now on, if I get a tattoo,

640
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be custom. You know, I'm not gonna get

641
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: what they call flash tattoos. Those are the ones on

642
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: the board up there that you can kind of pick

643
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: out and like they'll, you know, put it on you

644
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: for like one hundred or two hundred bucks. I don't

645
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: want those. I want something totally custom. But two, I'm

646
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: only gonna go to someone who does a certain style,

647
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: Like if I'm gonna get an American traditional tattoo, which

648
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: you know I may or may not, But if I do.

649
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to someone who specializes in American

650
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: traditional that's all day tattoo. If I end up getting

651
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: a Japanese piece, I'm going to get someone I might

652
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: even do it to Bory style, but I'm only going

653
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: to get it from somebody who does Japanese tattoo. And

654
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get it from somebody who does

655
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: Japanese black and gray new school portrait realism. Fuck all that.

656
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: I want them to do one style and then just

657
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: be absolute master craftsman at it. You guys seen that

658
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: documentary Giro Dreams of Sushi. It's totally pretentious, but if

659
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: there's one lesson from it is that you know, this

660
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: dude spends his entire life in a very sort of

661
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: humble way perfecting the art of sushi making. And it's

662
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: just about repetition over and over and over and over

663
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: and over again through the entirety of his working life.

664
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: That was the reality, and he made the most exquisite

665
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: tattoo or sushi, if not in all of Japan pretty close.

666
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I want someone who has that kind

667
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: of focus to one kind of craft. Well, if you

668
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: are a black and gray person, then when I want

669
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: black and gray. I want to go to you. I

670
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: don't want to go to somebody who can do black

671
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: and gray and can also do you know, new school.

672
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't want that. So if you want to get

673
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: a tattoo, a real easy way to find comfort in

674
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: it is to go to someone who is a specialist

675
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: because maybe you'll regret the tattoo later. Oh I didn't

676
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: want to do it, you know, cost too much money

677
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: or whatever, but you probably won't get a bad tattoo.

678
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: You know, the best way to do it is find

679
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: someone who is an expert, and that is all they

680
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: fucking do is that style. That's it. I don't do

681
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: the one style because even doing that is hard enough,

682
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: Like being an expert in Japanese tattooing is extremely difficult,

683
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: or new school or traditional or in this case Japanese traditional,

684
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard. Thoughts on TJ coming off of

685
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: suspension and getting an immediate title shot. I think we've

686
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: covered this before. My basic answer is, I don't know

687
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: if I'm in favor of an immediate title shot. I'm

688
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: in favor of him fighting an immediate contender. I'm definitely

689
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: in favor of that, and then depending on what the

690
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: outcome is there, and how he looked and what we

691
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: can ascertain, then making a judgment call. And if in

692
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: fact he gets a fight against a ranked contender and

693
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: looks quite good, I would have no problems giving him

694
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: a title shot. I mean to me, it's not even

695
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: about like the peds. Your punishment was you have to

696
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: sit out two years and you had to get your

697
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: name dragged through the mud. Okay, that's fine. He had

698
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: to do that, right, he did it, or when you know,

699
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: when the time's up, he'll have done it. So now

700
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: it's time to move on. Let's see what he can do,

701
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: Let's see where he's at, and if he's quite good,

702
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: sure pump him to the front of the line. Don't

703
00:38:50,719 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: give a fuck. As everyone knows you are a Latina lover.

704
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: This is true. Guilty is charged. Did or do you

705
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: dance to Spanish music? I think you mean Latin music

706
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: or Hispanic music, because Spanish music is from Spain. This

707
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: person rights as a Dominican. I think that if you

708
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: do not know how to dance at least one genre

709
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: but chatta, marengue or salsa, you're looked at as an

710
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: American and failure in your family and Latinas love dancing. Yeah,

711
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,959
Speaker 1: Latinos do too, Bro, they all do. Is this something

712
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: you picked up a little bit of salsa? I've taken

713
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: some salsa classes. You're right, you know you gotta you

714
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: gotta have a little bit of a something with you

715
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: so that you don't totally stick out like a sore thumb.

716
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: Although I do whenever I go to Colombia, I don't

717
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: quite look like everyone else stairs. You can well imagine.

718
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: Do you think guys like Thor and Brian Shaw will

719
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: make their lives longer or shorter based on how they live?

720
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: I e. Training die and steroid regimen. It's the first

721
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: time in history have had people this big and this

722
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: strong walk the earth. It seems like their bodies ask

723
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: a lot from their heart. Muscle Kasmyer is alive, but

724
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: he wasn't at their level. Yeah, I mean, have you

725
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: guys ever seen what strong men have to eat every

726
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: single day? I mean, these dudes are forget about the

727
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: steroid regiment, which is his own thing, which is a huge,

728
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: obviously component of elite strongman, you know. And also like

729
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: these guys are naturally huge, like six ' four not

730
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: uncommon to see someone in the four hundred pounder. Like

731
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: the guy who's currently the world's strongest man, Alexei Novakov,

732
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: is only like two fifty two maybe two eighty something

733
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: like that, and he's like six ' one or so.

734
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 1: He is tiny by those standards. He's just a fucking miracle,

735
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: a total dynamo. I mean, he's amazing to watch. But

736
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: you know, Brian Shaw is like six ' nine four

737
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: twenty something like that, fucking enormous, and Thoris is right

738
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: around that same size as well. These guys have to

739
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: eat in ways that I think. Eddie Hall has a

740
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: documentary on Netflix where you can watch, but you can

741
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: even just type it in. Just type in Brian Shaw

742
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: Full Day of Eating. Just look that up and it

743
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: will shock you what these guys eat. I mean pounds

744
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: of spaghetti, pounds of ground beef, dozens of eggs, you know,

745
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: mounds of chicken. And you know, you're like, well, they

746
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: could eat whatever they want. Well, they certainly have a

747
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: degree of latitude like they'll have. You know, they're not

748
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: like eating like bodybuilders would eat, but still they have

749
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: to eat. They also have to eat nutritious things too.

750
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: They have to fuel their body, and they really have

751
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: to make a certain amount of calories, you know, somewhere

752
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: between ten and fifteen thousand calories a day a day. Dude,

753
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: that's gotta be hard on your system. You know, that's

754
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 1: got to be to say nothing of the training where

755
00:41:55,040 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: you're lifting quite literally right at or at or below

756
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: I should say maximum loads. You know, one rep max.

757
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: You're doing more than that. But like, you know, if

758
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: you see what these guys are lifting, it's like they'll

759
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: do like the deadlift, and it's like they'll put you know,

760
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: whatever it is in the bar. I don't know what

761
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: the last one was. You know, you'll see them do

762
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: reps or six or seven, bro, if you're I mean,

763
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, if you guys know what RPE is, RP

764
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: is going have this sort of way to gauge the

765
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: intensity of of a particular exercise or set. You know,

766
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: if everything you're doing is RPE seven or you know,

767
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: well I should say RPE, yeah, RP E seven or

768
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 1: RPE eight or nine or even ten in certain cases,

769
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, dude, that is like incredibly straining all the time.

770
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: They've got bicep tears and fucking bulging discs and repair

771
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: knees and shattered egg I mean it's a completely brutal sport.

772
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: So you have to be genetically gifted, you have to

773
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: be enormous, and you have to just force feed your

774
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: body and do steroids to a point where you can

775
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: just you're about to pop, you know. And then you

776
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 1: have to really have a programmatic, scientific way of training

777
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: to get where you want to go. And you're like, oh,

778
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: how scientific could it be? You should guys go see

779
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: Brian Shaw's training. One thing that Brian Shaw said about

780
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: his training when he programs it that really caught my

781
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: attention was he never misses a rep. And what he

782
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: means by that is not that he's like fucking really

783
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: badass where he can walk around and just you know,

784
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: whatever it is, I can always lift it. No, he

785
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 1: always has to program it such that the rep can

786
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: be fully executed. I mean, there might be some form breakdown.

787
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: But what he doesn't want is to program in a

788
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: way that's ahead of his actual ability. He wants to

789
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: program in a way that pushes his ability. But he

790
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: still has to make all the all the reps for

791
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: all the exercises that he does. Folks, I gotta tell

792
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: you that requires a significant degree of expertise in programming

793
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: significant and significant muscle body muscle mind connection. And I

794
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: mean that is that is extraordinary. I've never heard that

795
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: befo where you just don't miss a rep. I mean

796
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: I took missing a rep for granted, that's crazy. So

797
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: he's pretty special. But you know, do I think that's

798
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: extending their life? Fuck?

799
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 3: No, no, no, they exercise a lot, but the exercise

800
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 3: in a very particular way that is maximal strain all

801
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 3: the time.

802
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: That's that can't be good for you. Was Luke Thomas

803
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: ever a video game guy? Sort of? I kind of

804
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: grew out of it around age sixteen or so, which

805
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 1: just to say, you know, whenever I say that, I

806
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: always get defensive because I don't want people to think

807
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 1: that like because I did. I'm saying that's what people

808
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: naturally do. But I always talk about it. Mortal Kombat

809
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: and the variety of Mortal Kombat they're in has just been,

810
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, not only like my favorite game, my favorite

811
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: game by a wide margin. In fact, I have a

812
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: hard time playing any other fighting games like Teken or

813
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: Street Fighter or you know, you know, you name it.

814
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: I've just never I've never really gotten, never really enjoyed it.

815
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: From there, you know, I don't know much about video games.

816
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: Whatever my friends have. I've tried Madden, I've tried if

817
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: I tried. I've not tried the New Spider Man. I've

818
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: been dying to try that one, nor any of the

819
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: more modern Star Wars stuff. You know, I've played some

820
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 1: NBA two K or you know whatever. Whatever. My friend

821
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: had a PS four or whatever. In the latest iteration

822
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: was on NBA games. They're fine, but they're not They're

823
00:45:45,440 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: not my favorite. Uh okay, what are your thoughts on

824
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Smith? This person writes having every bad or trendy

825
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: tattoo ever. He has his last name on his back,

826
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: tribal sleeve, DreamCatcher, Roman numerals, cooyfish, love, fear across his knuckles,

827
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: no regrets. Let me explain something to you. Anybody who's

828
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 1: got good tattoos also has bad tattoos. I can't say

829
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 1: shit because I also have bad tattoos. The only difference

830
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: is I don't have to walk around shirtless and parade

831
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: them all to everybody else. But believe you me, I've

832
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: got some bad ones. So it would be it would

833
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: be very much beyond hypocritical for me to say something.

834
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: The only thing I will say in defense of Anthony.

835
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: Aside from that, I say to say, which is like,

836
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: you know I've got you know I do I have it?

837
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: Do I have all of those things? You know, the

838
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: bingo card of it. No, not necessarily, but I can't

839
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: say shit, I've got some terrible ones. And the other

840
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: part I would say is, dude, like, I'm not getting

841
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: tattoos for you. I mean, yes, the public can see

842
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: them if I want them to. I could always long

843
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: sleeves and you would never know the difference. You know,

844
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: I get them because I want to adorn my body

845
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: that way. You know, if that's the way that Smith

846
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: wants to adorn his body, it doesn't really bother me.

847
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: The only one that really bothered me was the the

848
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: Alan Belcher Johnny Cash tattoo. I mean, the thing is

849
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: Smith's tattoos. Like when I say is it a bad tattoo?

850
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 1: Is a good tattoo? What I mean is was the

851
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: tattoo expertly done? I'd have to go and look at

852
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: all of them. But the DreamCatcher, when he has is

853
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: pretty well done. Like, you may not want it, you

854
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 1: may not think it's very original, but it's not a

855
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: poorly executed tattoo. It's a it's a it's a well

856
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: executed tattoo for what it is, whether you like it

857
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: or not. That Johnny cash one, I don't understand. I

858
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: don't understand what the fuck anyone was thinking with that,

859
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: And like even with the the Darren Elkins one, like

860
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 1: the damage Okay, it's a little it's a little on

861
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: the heavy handed side. It's a little like, you know,

862
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: almost like superhero in a way, and it's, you know,

863
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: it not the best tattoo I've ever seen, although it's

864
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: again it was it wasn't poorly done. It was just

865
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: conceptually not that interesting. But that was you know, again,

866
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: if you look at it, did a person who knows

867
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: tattooing reasonably well make that? Yes? Uh? What happened with

868
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: the Jiant I don't under I don't. I don't know

869
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 1: how you could walk out of the tattoo or get

870
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: him out of the tattoo chair and be like killed it.

871
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: You know, I'd look at that and be like, dude,

872
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: you better lawyer the fuck up. You know this is

873
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: a defective product. You sold me a vacuum cleaner that

874
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: blows hot air. I don't need that. H So you know,

875
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: Alan Belcher's the man. You know, God bless him. His

876
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: fight against Tokenya was h.

877
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 3: Know.

878
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: Jus Mar Palharas was one of my favorites in UFC history.

879
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: He's a badass and he's a a wonderful American. But

880
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: he I can't believe he didn't beat the shit out

881
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: of the guy who did that tattoo for him. That is, uh, yeah,

882
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: they fucked up. That's a while. I was having this

883
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: debate with Brian over the Amanda he Moss tattoo, and

884
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: I you know what I did. Oh you know what,

885
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: I'll show you what I sent to him. Hold on,

886
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: we can we can have that debate right here on

887
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: uh the air. So let me show you what I

888
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: sent him, because you know, he was like, oh, you're

889
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: being a fucking hater, blah blah blah. I'm like, dude,

890
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm not being a fucking hater. You just you gotta understand.

891
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: This is a dynamite tattoo for black and gray. Right,

892
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: So I want you to pay attention to something. I

893
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: want you to look at how they don't overuse white

894
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: as like a color. They use negative spacing. The shading

895
00:49:54,880 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: is perfect, the lettering has total uniformity, it's balanced. This

896
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: is a good black and great tattoo. I'm gonna let

897
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: it focus. Hold on that. That is a superb tattoo

898
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: right now. You may not want that. And also if

899
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,280
Speaker 1: you look at the lettering, it's right at the bicep

900
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: where the arm curls. So he was able to work

901
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 1: with the with the UH, with the with the motion

902
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: of or the contours of the arm. I mean, that

903
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,959
Speaker 1: is a very well done tattoo. Now. I was trying

904
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: to show that to Brian, and I was like, Brian,

905
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: this is a good black and great tattoo. This is

906
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: the difference. Contrast that with hang on, contrast that with this.

907
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 1: If you zoom in, I mean, look at the lettering

908
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:51,919
Speaker 1: on the UFC, I mean, it looks like a kid

909
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: scribbled it. I'm not doing a bit. It looks like

910
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: a kid scribbled it. It's it's a disaster. It's a disaster.

911
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: So when people say good tattoos, bad tattoos, like, conceptually,

912
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,399
Speaker 1: I like the one that Amanda Hebas's father got much

913
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: more than that. You know, Greek statue or Roman statue

914
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: with the lettering it doesn't interest me at all. But

915
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: from an execution standpoint. I mean there's just no comparison.

916
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: There's just no comparison whatsoever. Is data science analytics under

917
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: used at MMA, Yes, but I'm not sure how to

918
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: solve the problem. If you look at fight Metric, they

919
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: have a certain like I meet with Ronny, the guy

920
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: who runs it once a year. He lives in DC.

921
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: He's a nice guy, he's a great guy, and uh,

922
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: super smart and you know, really has just his head

923
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: on his shoulders and the most you know, he's a

924
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: real asset to this community, into the fight community. Say

925
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: this community, I mean here in DC, And he's an

926
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: asset to the fight community as well. And I've talked

927
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: to him about like, oh, you know, what about this idea?

928
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: What about that idea? And there's a lot of things

929
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: that they want or could do, but they have a

930
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: minimal amount of staff or you know, not minimal but limited.

931
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean they don't have unlimited resources. And that goes

932
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: back to the other part about the money. It's like

933
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: between the amount of time they have in the day,

934
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: their existing responsibilities, and what money they would be to

935
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: fund other projects, they simply don't have the ability to

936
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: do much. I mean, something's more, but not a whole

937
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 1: lot more than what they currently do, And I don't

938
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: think that, you know, I think this is well known,

939
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 1: but I think UF or WMMY owns them, right, I

940
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: don't folks know that or not, but wm ME owns

941
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: fight Metric now, and so the budget is somewhat somewhat limited.

942
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: You know. Again, they're not like counting pennies in the couch.

943
00:52:55,480 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: I just mean to do something more robust is or

944
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: room for it, yes, of course, but someone has to

945
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: pay for that. I don't know exactly who that would

946
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: be at this point. Have you and BC ever discussed

947
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: going to Fight Island and covering the fights? Yeah? Neither

948
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: of us have even a shred of interest. I certainly don't.

949
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: Maybe BC has a little bit, but I don't think

950
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: CBS is gonna send us. Why, you know, who can

951
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: go live on Fight Island and do a bunch of

952
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: shit that we can just do here. I mean it

953
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: doesn't for certain outlets. It makes much more sense, you know,

954
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: if you're EMM fighting or junkie and you pull from

955
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: pressers and media days and you upload videos of scrums

956
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 1: and you get cage side photos and you do post

957
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: fight interviews, you know, and you get a bunch of

958
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 1: interviews without everyone else on scene like you would for

959
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: a normal fight week. It's probably pretty valuable for you

960
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: to go do that. We don't do that, so I mean,

961
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they'll send us. I seriously doubt it,

962
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 1: and I have no desire to go whatsoever.

963
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 2: Um I'm trying to find where we go.

964
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: Funniest question anyone has ever asked you on any live

965
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: chat mine include can a bear beat a gorilla in

966
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: a fight? You got a big one, luke? And if

967
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: enema rehydration and mma is considered cheating. Yeah. I don't

968
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: have anything above that. The only thing that was funny

969
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: was the bear gorilla debate. I actually had a real

970
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: It was like a zoologist who wrote me and apparently

971
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: made the claim that the bear this broke my heart,

972
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: by the way, but apparently said that the bear would

973
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: absolutely fuck up the gorilla, like it would not even

974
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: be close. And I think it was like not any

975
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: old bear was a grizzly bear or something versus male

976
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: silver backed gorilla. Apparently the bear would just demolish the gorilla,

977
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: which is you know, as a primeate, I have a

978
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: bias towards other primates. I suppose so that one wasn't

979
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: my favorite, but interesting, it's the same. How many times

980
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: do you realistically see McGregor fighting in UFC this year?

981
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,720
Speaker 1: Should he beat Dustin? Okay, let's assume he beats Dustin?

982
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: How many times? Two more times? I think, because that

983
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: would mean he would get one more for the title,

984
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: and then maybe they put him in some kind of

985
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: vanity fight after that, given he wants to have a

986
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: boxing match. Also, I don't think he does the boxing

987
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: thing till twenty twenty two. Haven't heard your USMC stats

988
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: in a long time. Could you really go over your history? Units?

989
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: Serve with same unit the entire time, Hotel three fourteen.

990
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: They eventually got converted to a grunk company fourth mar DIV.

991
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: Top rank. I held a rank of Sergeant MOS, originally

992
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: a field radio operator, a lap move over to call

993
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: for fire emissions on the hill for field artillery, so

994
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: which obviously you need someone who can do radio for those,

995
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: but that's where it came from. So so that is

996
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:24,280
Speaker 1: what I did. Nothing all of that interesting, but yeah,

997
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: goal for deadlift one rep max. I've really never specialized

998
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: like that in deadlift ever in my life, so I've

999
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: never gotten pretty far. I'm a sub six hundred poller.

1000
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: So if I could get to seven hundred, I'd be

1001
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: pretty happy about that, which, by the way, is entirely doable.

1002
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: You just have to focus and program around it. And

1003
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever really sort of done

1004
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 1: it in that kind of a concerted way. Talk about

1005
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,959
Speaker 1: Arnold's capital video. You mean Schwarzenegger also, what is best

1006
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 1: in life? What is best in life? To crush your enemies,

1007
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of

1008
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: the women right from Conan Barbarian. Okay, talk about Arnold's

1009
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: capital video. Yeah, I mean, I don't have much to

1010
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: say about it. I thought it was great. If you

1011
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: guys didn't see it, he had like a sort of

1012
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: a seven or eight minute video about the mob at

1013
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: the Capitol building. And it's always good to hear from

1014
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: immigrants because you get this real American idealism and an

1015
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: appreciation for it that you know, these people chose to

1016
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: be Americans, right, So there's a certain amount of appreciation

1017
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: you can it's hard to burn out of them. Obviously

1018
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: he still has quite a bit of it. At the

1019
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: same time, they've lived in experience that is quite different

1020
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: from the ones of our own, and they can bring

1021
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: those experiences to bear about how different ways we could live,

1022
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 1: for better or for worse. And I thought that he

1023
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: brought all of that into a real crystallizing moment, and

1024
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: it was a really really important thing to hear. I mean,

1025
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 1: he grew up in post World War two Austria, where

1026
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: guys who had joined the Nazi army had to come

1027
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: back home and sort of faced reality afterwards, and he

1028
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: described what the hell how broken they were, not really

1029
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: their bodies full of shrapnel, but their minds from committing

1030
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: to such a heinous task, even if they had a

1031
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 1: relatively mundane job inside of that operation, And what drunks

1032
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: and bad fathers they were. Uh, it's a it's a

1033
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:32,479
Speaker 1: it's a it's a moving speech. Favorite restaurant in DC,

1034
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: DMV local favorite restaurant, you see. I don't know if

1035
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: I have a favorite favorite. What is my favorite? God,

1036
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of good ones, at least there was

1037
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: before the pandemic fucked a whole lot of things over.

1038
00:58:55,920 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: Man put me on the spot. I would say, obel

1039
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: Esque is really good. Oble Esque is really good. That's

1040
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: another one that's I really enjoy that people from around

1041
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: the country could not give a fuck less about I'll

1042
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: give you one morning, I'll move on. God, I mean,

1043
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: there's so many for guys who people who may not know,

1044
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, there's sixty thousand again pre pandemic. I don't

1045
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: know what the situation is today, but pre pandemic, there

1046
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: are sixty thousand bars and restaurants in New York City.

1047
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: It's very, very hard to succeed there. So in the

1048
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: last ten years, tons of them have just moved to

1049
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: DC and opened up shop. And so there's like these

1050
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 1: places that open up all the time here. And the

1051
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: food is I mean the last ten fifteen years, the

1052
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: food here has taken off. Oh here's what I'll give you.

1053
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's my favorite, but I really

1054
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: like eating there. Saint Anselm. Anselm. Let me make sure

1055
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: I get the name right as I botch it and

1056
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: tell you it's one of my favorites. But truly it is.

1057
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Yes here in the city Saint Anselm. It is uh.

1058
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: It's in by Union Market for anyone in the local area.

1059
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Oh my fucking god. Their cocktails are out of this world.

1060
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: And then they make they bring you these buttered biscuits

1061
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,439
Speaker 1: that you can just open and you can almost see

1062
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 1: the butter dripping from them, with pimento cheese, which is

1063
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: sort of like this mix of like you know, it's

1064
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: it's like it's like a sort of like a gastro pub.

1065
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: Some stuff they do is a little bit more elevated

1066
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: than that. They make an incredible stake if you're into

1067
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, but everything they make is just

1068
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: next level. If Max loses to Cater, is it a

1069
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: given at that point that he goes to one to

1070
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: fifty five? I would imagine how does he do a

1071
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: one fifty five, assuming he takes the time to put

1072
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: on the appropriate amount of muscle as opposed to just

1073
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: cutting less weight like it would seem he did in

1074
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: the dustin rematch. Yeah, I think if he loses to

1075
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I mean here's the thing. At some point,

1076
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna want to stop cutting weight because getting down

1077
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: a one to forty five is hard for him. He's

1078
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old, so we have to consider that

1079
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: number one. A move to fifty five may be inevitable.

1080
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: A loss to Cater may hasten it, but it might

1081
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: be inevitable. How does he do well? I think he's

1082
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: got a great chin for that weight class, but I

1083
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: do think he kind of has to muscle up a

1084
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: little bit. He is a volume puncher in many ways,

1085
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: and it really works behind the jab and kind of

1086
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: has to be in the pocket a little bit to

1087
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: do a lot of his best work, which means he's

1088
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: probably going to take some damage along the way. What

1089
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: are his numbers his overall strikes absorb per minute? Let's see,

1090
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: I will tell you, yeah, it's high. Like his strikes

1091
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: landed per minute is six point four to seven. That

1092
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: is very high. The average is around three or four

1093
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: for most UFC elite fighters. And his strikes absorb permit

1094
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: it four point five to two. That's high. It's usually

1095
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: around two or three. You know, it's very, very, very

1096
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 1: very high. So if you're gonna have that kind of

1097
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: a style, you really got to beef up a little bit,

1098
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: and so you can your power can be enough of

1099
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: an influencing factor in those exchanges, which at one forty

1100
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: five it is at one fifty five. I don't know

1101
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: that we've seen enough evidence of that yet, so but

1102
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think inevitably he will go there. I

1103
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: don't think he can cut some one, forty five the rest.

1104
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: But I do think if he can, I think his

1105
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: style can work at any rate class provided that he

1106
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: has sufficient power and his chin holds up. Eventually it

1107
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: won't because the you know, father time comes for everybody,

1108
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: but I think he can do well. If you BC

1109
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: or Jay had to interview Daniel White, which one of

1110
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: you would most likely act like another one of his

1111
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: yes men interviewers? Oh? Jay? Would you know? Jay would

1112
01:02:52,240 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: shine his shoes? Could a show like Bully beat Down Today? Sure? Sure?

1113
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:16,479
Speaker 1: Top three Tarantino movies, Jesus Well, Reservoir Dogs, pulp fiction,

1114
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be one and two and then maybe the

1115
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Last Kill Bill. Maybe's three. Luke, you and Danny Sigurta

1116
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: had great chemistry back in the day. Do you think

1117
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: you'll get to work together again? Is their scope to

1118
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: expand the MK team not the present moment, But I

1119
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 1: would love to work with Danny again. It was a

1120
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: rewarding experience. He could tell you some of the same

1121
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: stories that I could about how challenging it was to

1122
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: do that show. And you know, he has certainly come

1123
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: an incredibly long way as his own kind of man

1124
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: in the space. So if their opportunity is right. I

1125
01:03:55,480 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: would love to work with Danny again. He's great. Connor

1126
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:10,439
Speaker 1: keeps saying he's quote not looking over Dustin but through him.

1127
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, these are just words. No one has better

1128
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: boxing than Connor at one fifty five, but Dustin is

1129
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: a pretty close second. How do you think the striking

1130
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: exchanges could progress over five rounds? For me, this is

1131
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm hoping I have time to do a video on

1132
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: it for next week. I'm a little bit worried about so, Okay,

1133
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: I'll say what I'm worried about for both guys. So

1134
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 1: for Dustin, I think I've made this pretty clear before.

1135
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about that first maybe second round.

1136
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: Getting out of that I think is going to be

1137
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: really important for him. He got stopped by Connor in

1138
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: the first round the first time, and he got stopped

1139
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: by Ian I think in the second round. Was it

1140
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: the second or third round he got stopped? Let me

1141
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: verify that before I give you fake news here third round?

1142
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: Sorry it was the third round. Still very different kind

1143
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 1: of fight. I worry about his early output. I worry

1144
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: about you know, he you know, slow starter. He's not

1145
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: like Serrooney or something. I mean, he'll put it on

1146
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: you early if if the opportunity is there, but he

1147
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: takes a fair amount of damage. He's strikes some sword

1148
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: permitted four point one eight, you know, that's high. That's high.

1149
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 1: That's not crazy high, but it's high. Strikes landed permitt

1150
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: it five point five to seven, that's also very, very high,

1151
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: you know. So he is a little bit like Max

1152
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: Hollow in that way where they give and they take,

1153
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: and they give a lot more than they take, and

1154
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: which is why they're mostly winners. But it's a lot

1155
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: of transactions happening, you know. And I think that for

1156
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: a guy like Connor, who is just so merciless with

1157
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: his power and his accuracy and his ability to change

1158
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: the fight in an instant early, you know, you gotta

1159
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: respect it. You gotta respect it. And I think for Dustin,

1160
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it. If I was him, I'll be

1161
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: trying to slow the fight down early. I'd be trying

1162
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: to wrestle early, even if you can't really do much

1163
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: with it. If you really have a good gas taking,

1164
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: you believe in it, just fucking you gotta get Connor

1165
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: off of prime Connor. You know, Subprime Connor is a

1166
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: much different equation than the guy who comes out there

1167
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: in round one ready to go, ready to go, So

1168
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: I really kind of worry about that. Let me look

1169
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: at these numbers here, like in the Dan Hooker fight.

1170
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: I've never really done this on the air, but let's see. Yeah,

1171
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: he kind of went up and down a little bit

1172
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: because you know what some of that was because they

1173
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: were wrestling. But Poorier landed twenty of thirty one in

1174
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: the first round, forty eight of eighty three in the second,

1175
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 1: the Hooker landed sixty six, So they were going after

1176
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: each other. But then the tide began to turn twenty

1177
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: eight of forty for Pooria to twenties of thirty nine

1178
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: for Hooker, twenty of twenty eight for Dustin Poarier just

1179
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,439
Speaker 1: for eleven and fourteen for Hooker, and then thirty seven

1180
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 1: of forty nine to the twenty five of thirty five

1181
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: for Hooker. Let me go to that Max Holloway fight

1182
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: because that would also tell you a lot. Uh So

1183
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: thirty uh so he landed fifty four in round one

1184
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: to Max's thirty thirty one in the second. Kind of

1185
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: fell off a little bit there. Max had a good

1186
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: round three, fifty three of thirty three good round four

1187
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: two forty two of thirty four or two forty to

1188
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 1: thirty four and then fortyer to the twenty six or

1189
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: twenty four. But the difference is like, you know, those

1190
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: numbers don't quite tell the story. Yeah, either, right, what

1191
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: was his accuracy forty six percent, forty one percent, forty

1192
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: eight percent, fifty three percent, forty three percent. So he

1193
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: was sort of middle of the road in that first round. Yeah,

1194
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: I've to go back through more examine the numbers in

1195
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: greater detail. I just feel like he doesn't really get

1196
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: going until, you know, a little bit in the later

1197
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: in the fight, So I worry about that. Conversely, if

1198
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: he can find a way to slow the fight down

1199
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: early last and then really dig to the body, I

1200
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: really wonder what that's going to do to Connor, because

1201
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Pooritier can thump my man from Louisiana has excellent power,

1202
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: he has excellent body shots. He likes to go to

1203
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: the body if he can do that in close range,

1204
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 1: either with knees at distance, you know, with hooks or

1205
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: straits or jabs and whatever, and then stay safe and

1206
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: then slowly invest over that, use that to slow the

1207
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 1: fight down and then the later rounds really kind of

1208
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: pick up the pace on him. Connor might be in trouble.

1209
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: You know, he might really be in trouble. I have

1210
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: a hard time seeing Connor get finished early. If anyone

1211
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: gets finished early, it feels like that would happen to Pourier.

1212
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: But those are sort of the two X factors. Is

1213
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: you know what happens to Poarier early and if it

1214
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: goes late, what happens to Connor late? Semi similar to

1215
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 1: what would be with Ferguson, but not quite. I'll do

1216
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: one more and then we'll get out of here. Let's see. Okay,

1217
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: I'll answer this one, and i'll because I have a

1218
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: video coming out about it. I promise, Luke, how did

1219
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:07,919
Speaker 1: you like the poorier hot sauce comes in this container?

1220
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: I never saw a review come through. It's coming. I'm

1221
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna put it out on five week. I ordered some

1222
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,839
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back, and personally it is almost inedible.

1223
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: You are out of your mind. Not sure if it's

1224
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 1: my small factory town taste buds or if you had

1225
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: a similar experience. If you enjoyed it, let me know

1226
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: suggestions for meals to include it with those questions from Brandon. Brandon,

1227
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 1: you need to seek psychological counseling, Buddy. I appreciate you

1228
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: being a part of this, but I gotta tell you

1229
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 1: you're out of your mind. It is absolutely superb. It

1230
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: is superb. Yeah, you know, there's a bigger review coming

1231
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 1: and I'll explain why it's superb. But if what you

1232
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: like is small batch craftsmanship in anything, coffee, hot sauce, clothing, whatever, whiskeys,

1233
01:09:58,160 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: this is the hot sauce for you. Now, there's gonna

1234
01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: be some caveats to that. I don't think it's a

1235
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: hot sauce for everyone. It's designed for a certain kind

1236
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 1: of the market. But the people who make it are

1237
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 1: they don't make anything except quality. So, as i'll explain

1238
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: next week, there are certain kinds of hot sauce aficionados

1239
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 1: who may pass on it. But I think for the

1240
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 1: average person, especially ones who are like trying to get

1241
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: into hot sauces, you know, I mean, it is absolutely delicious.

1242
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: He really did his homework with this one, Brandon. You

1243
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:35,919
Speaker 1: got problems, Bud? All right, one last bit of homework

1244
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: or not homework update I should give you so last

1245
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:42,640
Speaker 1: week or even two weeks ago. I'm not sure, I'd ask, like,

1246
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 1: is there a way to get you know, paid questions

1247
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: in Again, I don't need you to send me money,

1248
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: but if I could bring that back, I would like to.

1249
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: Someone had the idea and I forgot who it was.

1250
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 1: I'll find it in my emails. Someone had the idea

1251
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: of setting up the super but then using all the

1252
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 1: money for that to go to charity. I would like

1253
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 1: to do that. I have to talk to CBS, I

1254
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 1: have to talk to Showtime. I have to see if

1255
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: it's even possible. I don't know. This is a corporate

1256
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: channel and it runs a little bit differently than my

1257
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: own channel on the back end, Like, there are some

1258
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,839
Speaker 1: weird things that this channel has in terms of options

1259
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: that even I don't And I've got more subs than

1260
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 1: this one, so I don't know. I don't know what

1261
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: the process is with that, But here's what I'm gonna

1262
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: try and tell you. If there's a way to do that,

1263
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: that is what I'm going to do. I want to

1264
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 1: set it up so that you could ask a question

1265
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the hour, I will get to you,

1266
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: and then all that money each week would go to charity. Yeah,

1267
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: and then they'd be pretty cool. So we'll see what

1268
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 1: we can do, all right, Thumbs up on the video.
