Speaker 1: Have you ever taking a poll on punch from your
Speaker 1: dad back in the day, Like.
Speaker 2: Ye oh, yes, one time when I was like six
Speaker 2: or seven, we were fighting in whoa wha.
Speaker 1: Huh six or seven. I was hoping you were in
Speaker 1: the ring at twenty. All right, never mind, Kasha Cosh
Speaker 1: Shush show? Is this thing on? Hey, it's me Daniel Tosh.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Tosh Show. Hit the music? All right, Eddie,
Speaker 1: how are you doing?
Speaker 3: I'm doing good?
Speaker 1: How are you not great?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: No, yeah, yesterday I was doing laundry for my daughter
Speaker 1: and she may she probably has about ten pair of socks,
Speaker 1: not too many, that's not a ridiculous amount. I don't
Speaker 1: think I could find a single matching pair. And the
Speaker 1: problem is her socks are so tiny because she's so young.
Speaker 1: Did they go inside the crack in the machine? And
Speaker 1: then you feel like they weren't cleaned? So I just
Speaker 1: throw them back in the middle. Anyway, that's not the point.
Speaker 1: So the point was I was like, oh, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna order new socks. Now, where do I go to
Speaker 1: get socks for my daughter? I go to the gap
Speaker 1: baby gap dot com and I see the socks and
Speaker 1: then I look at the title. Now, I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: this up on the screen. Look at this title, Eddie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's called toddler let us trim sock. You have any
Speaker 1: problem with that?
Speaker 3: That doesn't Yeah, it doesn't read write.
Speaker 1: You're telling me that nobody over at Baby Gap knows
Speaker 1: what the term let us trim is. Either that's that's
Speaker 1: a disgruntled employee, like ha ha. This will be funny,
Speaker 1: little East dreg for people. I'll name this these toddler
Speaker 1: socks after a woman's uh discussin beefy vagina that needs
Speaker 1: to get cleaned up, or they didn't know. I thought
Speaker 1: it was common knowledge. I thought everyone on this planet
Speaker 1: knows what a lettuce trim is. Does everyone here know
Speaker 1: what a let us trim is? Yeah? Okay, so everyone
Speaker 1: in this in this room knows what'll let us trim in.
Speaker 1: Nobody over at Baby Gap knows what a lettuce trim is.
Speaker 1: And then then then I was like, oh, well should
Speaker 1: I should I get my uh son this cute scarf
Speaker 1: called the rusty trombone? Well that I made up. Anyway,
Speaker 1: my daughter's got mismatched socks on. Currently. You know this
Speaker 1: show needs, Eddie, what to take us to the next
Speaker 1: level an intern. Oh yeah, I was told that we
Speaker 1: received our first intern submission, that someone took the initiative
Speaker 1: to write to us on the contact page of my website.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Eddie, tell me what they said.
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, I love the pod. I'd like to intern
Speaker 3: that I mentioned for free. I'm a University of Minnesota
Speaker 3: soon to be graduate, and we'll do anything for the
Speaker 3: show besides bjays let me know, Lucas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you see how you put that in right at
Speaker 1: the very end. Yeah, I'll do anything for the show
Speaker 1: and then accept fillatio. Well that's I don't even think
Speaker 1: you need to put that in there. No, but I
Speaker 1: mean it's probably better to have it in print. Like
Speaker 1: I said, I wasn't going to and you're like, oh
Speaker 1: you sure I have the email?
Speaker 4: Phil?
Speaker 1: All right, Well, he out smarted us. Lucas. As much
Speaker 1: as I appreciate him reached out to us, I think
Speaker 1: it would be short sighted of the show to just
Speaker 1: give it to him. I think we should open this up,
Speaker 1: you know, to a wider net. Feel free to send
Speaker 1: us any submissions of why you should inn on this show,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's gonna open tons of doors for you,
Speaker 1: especially if you're hot. Oh if you're a smoke show,
Speaker 1: good chance. We'll take your application very seriously. I want
Speaker 1: someone with some real world experience, an older person sixty minimum,
Speaker 1: you know, where they don't necessarily need the work, they
Speaker 1: don't want to work full time, but they're responsible. They
Speaker 1: probably could use a lettuce trim. So if you're interested
Speaker 1: in applying for our prestigious internship that will not pay,
Speaker 1: will not give you a college credit, and you have
Speaker 1: to sign a strict NDA check the link below. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to today's guest. I'm very excited about this guy.
Speaker 1: He's a friend of mine, our children, our friends. That's
Speaker 1: very important to me because when we have playdates, I
Speaker 1: get excited to see him. I enjoy him, and our
Speaker 1: kids play well together, and I need that to continue.
Speaker 1: I need to stay in his family's good graces so
Speaker 1: that his daughter will always protect my son from any bullies.
Speaker 1: Enjoy Pasha, my guest today, the undisputed heavyweight champion of
Speaker 1: this room. Please welcome the one and only George Foreman,
Speaker 1: the Third. Let's get ready to podcast. I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: off with some simple stuff for you. Now, I understand
Speaker 1: that you have twenty two brothers and fourteen moms supposedly,
Speaker 1: is there a chance that your dad is Mormon?
Speaker 4: Close clothes? We kind of grew up in the called
Speaker 4: I think Mormon's remind me of a.
Speaker 1: Bo they do, and they are all right, no, no,
Speaker 1: don't you. Don't you how many brothers you have?
Speaker 4: I have five brothers and they have five sisters.
Speaker 1: Do you think your dad forgot that? He already had
Speaker 1: named his other kids George because of the dangers of boxing.
Speaker 2: If you ask him, he always says, like, if you
Speaker 2: get hit by Muhammad Ali, Joe Frasier, Evan in to
Speaker 2: holy Field, see how many names you'll remember?
Speaker 4: So he was prepared for memory law fair enough.
Speaker 1: What was it like growing up on both sides of
Speaker 1: the tracks?
Speaker 4: It was interesting, It was interesting.
Speaker 2: So my mom and my dad they got divorced when
Speaker 2: I was young, around two, and but you know, always
Speaker 2: wanted my mom wanted my dad to be in my life.
Speaker 2: We moved to South Carolina for a little bit, and
Speaker 2: we moved back when I was six.
Speaker 1: Your mom wasn't rich, no at all. No, and your
Speaker 1: dad obviously was extremely rich.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, right right around then he started getting rich again.
Speaker 2: He actually was like fully bankrupt right right around eighty
Speaker 2: six is and then went back to boxing, and by
Speaker 2: like ninety one once again he was back to making
Speaker 2: a lot of money. But yeah, my dad would pick
Speaker 2: me up for church four times a week, and so
Speaker 2: I would live.
Speaker 1: Why four that's too many times for church?
Speaker 2: Just Sundays, No, No, Wednesday night, Saturday night, Sunday morning,
Speaker 2: Sunday night.
Speaker 1: All I forgot about Sunday night. Yeah, we used to
Speaker 1: have to do Sunday night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know about that. But yeah, like that was
Speaker 2: like I didn't wear Jordan's and all that. But then
Speaker 2: I'd go to my dad's house and you know, you'd
Speaker 2: have like twenty to thirty cars. Can't count them, twenty
Speaker 2: to thirty dogs. But eventually, when I was like eleven,
Speaker 2: my dad said, enough of this, I'm sending you to
Speaker 2: boarding school so you can live like us, which I
Speaker 2: appreciate it. But my mom she gave me other qualities
Speaker 2: which were great.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's a weird. That's a weird
Speaker 1: back and forth.
Speaker 2: It is like one week we'd hop in a private
Speaker 2: jet like go here there, come back, hop off the
Speaker 2: jet and I'd go back and like, you know, hope
Speaker 2: the power was on, you know, but.
Speaker 1: You always like say, Mom, I love you so much,
Speaker 1: but can I have spend Christmas at Dad's.
Speaker 2: We actually had that conversation once and she won. But
Speaker 2: I was happy to stay with my mom.
Speaker 4: I really was.
Speaker 1: Why don't I get to call you monk?
Speaker 4: You can call me monk.
Speaker 1: You've never told me to call you monk. Oh well, no, you.
Speaker 4: Can call me whatever you want to call me. Who
Speaker 4: picked monk?
Speaker 2: My aunt? So my dad's name is monkey. There's a
Speaker 2: lot there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm never going to say that, just clear.
Speaker 4: You can, but this is his story. No I'm not. No,
Speaker 4: well you know, as we all know, that was a
Speaker 4: derogatory term.
Speaker 2: But my dad had a different father than the rest
Speaker 2: of his brothers and sisters, and they knew, but he
Speaker 2: didn't know. His mom knew, and they kept it a secret.
Speaker 2: And so my dad's from a little town in Marshall, Texas, huh,
Speaker 2: And he grew up on his He was born like
Speaker 2: on a sharecropping farm. Basically, his mother and father were sharecroppers,
Speaker 2: which is code for slaves and lonster short. She my
Speaker 2: grandma had an affair with a guy about your height,
Speaker 2: about your complexion from Texarcana, and he worked on the railroad.
Speaker 4: He had a good job, and they had George.
Speaker 2: So my grandfather was you know about the color of
Speaker 2: this mug right here, and sorry, my JD.
Speaker 4: Foreman, who should have been my grandfather.
Speaker 2: They were both very dark and when my dad came out,
Speaker 2: he was really like complected like you. And so typically,
Speaker 2: like with dark skinned people, when the baby comes out,
Speaker 2: around the edges of the ear are dark. And they
Speaker 2: looked at the baby and they're like, we don't see that.
Speaker 2: So they waited a few weeks and the baby was
Speaker 2: still light complected, and so they started gossiping around the town.
Speaker 2: And she was so embarrassed, and he was so embarrassed.
Speaker 2: She got out of there. And then all of a
Speaker 2: sudden years went by. My brother kept getting taller. I mean,
Speaker 2: my father kept getting taller and taller than his brothers
Speaker 2: and sisters, and he never got dark, and so they
Speaker 2: all knew it.
Speaker 4: They didn't tell him to. He's twenty seven.
Speaker 2: So as a youngster, they teased him a lot, and
Speaker 2: they called them all types of names. Monkey, it was
Speaker 2: kind of a term they used to tease, and it
Speaker 2: was at first it was hurtful, but it became his name,
Speaker 2: so much said in the streets he was known as monkey.
Speaker 2: So anyway, my aunt was like, we can't have two
Speaker 2: monkeys in this household. So I'm gonna call him monk,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna call your dad monkey. When I was born,
Speaker 2: he was like, all right, I'm going to name him
Speaker 2: George the third, but I'm also going to give him
Speaker 2: my name monk monkey, and then my.
Speaker 4: Aunt shorten it. So here we are, okay, So you
Speaker 4: can call me monk.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm never guess what I dare you never
Speaker 1: calling you monk, calling you George forever. So this is
Speaker 1: how we know to our Our children play together a lot.
Speaker 1: And one time I was at a playground and your wife, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, your wife a wonderful person, always late. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have a question for this. I
Speaker 1: just want to get that on the air.
Speaker 2: Always she has no concept zero compets concept of holy count.
Speaker 1: For the record, George's wife, Sarah is white. And when
Speaker 1: I was listening to this back, I realized that I
Speaker 1: didn't bring that up. And then when implying that she's
Speaker 1: always late, I'm like, oh no, that sounds like I'm
Speaker 1: perpetuating a racist stereotype about black people, which I wasn't,
Speaker 1: And I see color, you know, and even though technically
Speaker 1: white is the absence of color, but I wasn't implying.
Speaker 1: And so now I want you to know that she
Speaker 1: was white, and that was why I was comfortable saying that,
Speaker 1: or I would be comfortable saying now, had she been Cuban,
Speaker 1: that's a different thing. Because I lived in Miami, forbidden.
Speaker 1: Cuban time is something that we always say, implying that
Speaker 1: Cubans are always a half hour to an hour late.
Speaker 1: But I assume that's also racist, So maybe I shouldn't
Speaker 1: bring that up. The real thing about his wife, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you, to forget the fact that she's
Speaker 1: always late. She swears like a sailor. She was talking
Speaker 1: to this other parent, this guy, and I was not
Speaker 1: in the conversation. I happened to just be kind of
Speaker 1: over here, and as I was walking by, and he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: which daughter is yours? And I walked by right at
Speaker 1: that moment, and I go, oh, the one that looks
Speaker 1: like George Foreman. And I kept walking and he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: is she black? And then she you know, because she's
Speaker 1: great at kind of awkward conversations. Was like, well, yes,
Speaker 1: yes she is, and it was just oh, it was great,
Speaker 1: great ate this moment.
Speaker 2: It was funny though I heard there was a moment
Speaker 2: where he was looking around trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1: You know, he had no idea what he was he was,
Speaker 1: so he was so mortified that he said, well, what
Speaker 1: is she black? I was like, oh, this is good.
Speaker 1: I just made an awkward conversation.
Speaker 4: But we also became friends.
Speaker 1: Your daughter is h is very strong physically, she's tall,
Speaker 1: like gonna be an athlete. I'm going to tell you
Speaker 1: a story about your daughter that you might not know.
Speaker 1: She made my son cry. Yeah, yeah, but you I
Speaker 1: don't want you. It's not your your instinct is wrong.
Speaker 1: Of why she did. She was talking to him and
Speaker 1: she was like, you know, my my dad is stronger
Speaker 1: than your dad. And and I told my son that's true.
Speaker 1: He's he's a lot stronger than me. It's okay. And
Speaker 1: he got so upset and he was crying, and I go,
Speaker 1: it's okay. I'm not you don't have a strong dad.
Speaker 1: But and then I said, but I can. I can
Speaker 1: dive better than her dad into because you came. You
Speaker 1: were in Tahoe once. We were jumping off some rocks,
Speaker 1: some cliffs, and I watched you dive in. It was poor,
Speaker 1: It wasn't great. It was And I say, say, you
Speaker 1: know what, that's actually a better trait than being stronger.
Speaker 1: If you're going to watch the Olympics, what event are
Speaker 1: you gonna watch? Are you gonna watch a lifting competition? No,
Speaker 1: it barely gets coverage. But diving, that's that's NBC, that's
Speaker 1: Prime time diving. So I was telling my son that
Speaker 1: diving is actually that's a better trait. You're a badass
Speaker 1: into water, by the way, I will take your Your
Speaker 1: daughter has swim class at my house once a week,
Speaker 1: and and literally last week I watched her do two
Speaker 1: full laps long ways, just just killed it. Now she
Speaker 1: used to not even want to get her face sweat
Speaker 1: or anything like that. And this is one of the
Speaker 1: moments in my life that I think I'm the most
Speaker 1: the top three proudest moments. Your daughter couldn't swim at
Speaker 1: the time, and he hated being in the water. And
Speaker 1: I got her in the water and took her wake
Speaker 1: surfing with you on the back of the boat, just
Speaker 1: like waiting to murder me if something went wrong.
Speaker 2: I've never done anything with myself like that, with my
Speaker 2: daughter like that before, and I will never do anything
Speaker 2: like that with my daughter after just with you, because
Speaker 2: I was sitting there and I was like looking at it,
Speaker 2: and my wife was like, what do you think? And
Speaker 2: I was like, you know what, sure because number one,
Speaker 2: I know you, and I was like, he would die
Speaker 2: if anything happened.
Speaker 4: Number two, I was like, this would be a pretty
Speaker 4: good lawsuit.
Speaker 2: Like I could just see this, and I've never sued anybody,
Speaker 2: but I've been sued, so I know what a good
Speaker 2: lawsuit is, and I was like, this one will be awesome.
Speaker 1: In hindsight. I was like, I was like, that was
Speaker 1: really really, really brave of me. Your dad was obviously
Speaker 1: a strict father. Yes, so I mean some of that
Speaker 1: has filtered onto your price. You've got you've got some
Speaker 1: conservative roots for sure. Now, one of the other fathers
Speaker 1: at pick up, I'm told I've heard this, I've heard
Speaker 1: this is the great ran, but it's such a good
Speaker 1: story that it makes me laugh. He asked if you
Speaker 1: would be interested because he's a producer in starring in
Speaker 1: some gay porn and I was like, this is in
Speaker 1: This is the greatest thing I'd ever heard. I laughed
Speaker 1: so hard. I was like, this little guy went up
Speaker 1: to George and asked him, Hey, would you be interested?
Speaker 1: You know, totally professional, not wasn't giving you drinks or
Speaker 1: anything like that. Just just now what did what did?
Speaker 1: What went through your brain where You're like, oh, we
Speaker 1: got to leave. We can't live in a place like
Speaker 1: this where I'm being asked this at school pickup.
Speaker 2: I was like number one, like where do you get
Speaker 2: the nerve to ask me like that? And then he
Speaker 2: followed up and I said, I don't know if I
Speaker 2: you know, I was like, I don't know if I
Speaker 2: could do that, and he was like, well, you'll never
Speaker 2: make it in Hollywood if you don't. The funniest thing
Speaker 2: about that guy, by the way, was that he was like,
Speaker 2: you know, like going on and on about how he's
Speaker 2: like a movie producer and so on and so forth.
Speaker 2: And I met him a couple of times and then
Speaker 2: finally like pulled me to the side and he was like,
Speaker 2: I made my money important.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: Because he had all these stories about like how he
Speaker 2: lives in Malibu. You know, everybody like has their story,
Speaker 2: which is fascinating. But he was hiding that one. And
Speaker 2: then he said, I'd like to cast you.
Speaker 1: So when does the movie come out? I didn't know
Speaker 1: this for a long time. You used to date Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 4: I forgot. How'd you know that this air tell you.
Speaker 1: That I don't disclose my sources?
Speaker 4: I know that's true.
Speaker 1: Was this pre ray J post ray J?
Speaker 4: In the midst of the breakup? And oh wow? All right,
Speaker 4: so I'll just go through fast.
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't I don't want I'm not
Speaker 1: one of these people that wants to hear another man
Speaker 1: kiss and tell I think that's tacky. But if you
Speaker 1: want to talk about eating ass, I'm all ears.
Speaker 4: It's actually a pretty funny story.
Speaker 2: So there's no like really kissed her tale because I
Speaker 2: was like, I actually like, really liked her. She's like sure,
Speaker 2: I would really like her too, super polite. There was
Speaker 2: no nothing on the internet about here. Like she was
Speaker 2: a stylist and would manage like wardrobes for people. She
Speaker 2: was working for Paris Hilton, and I was just like
Speaker 2: the perfect gentleman. And I was like, I want to
Speaker 2: meet your family. I want to meet Bruce at the time,
Speaker 2: Now it's Caitlin either.
Speaker 4: Both are great.
Speaker 2: Still her dad yep, and I want to meet your
Speaker 2: mom met.
Speaker 4: Her, her her sisters.
Speaker 2: They were small at the time, and I remember like
Speaker 2: taking Kylie and the other one and just being like,
Speaker 2: can you please get them off me.
Speaker 4: I didn't know they were going to be big stars.
Speaker 1: You would have left them on you.
Speaker 4: I would have been much nicer.
Speaker 2: They're just bad kids at the time, and I was
Speaker 2: just like always like respectful. And this went on for
Speaker 2: like five or six months, and finally she texts me
Speaker 2: one day and she goes, are you a virgin? Because
Speaker 2: I was being such a gentleman, uh huh and so,
Speaker 2: and of course I was like no. I was like
Speaker 2: I'm just this is how you're supposed to treat women,
Speaker 2: you know, and so. And then shortly thereafter, about a
Speaker 2: month later, the news hit and of course, like I've
Speaker 2: been telling my brothers and my best friends about, like
Speaker 2: I'm dating this girl. She's cool, like I think this
Speaker 2: could be one of the ones, you know whatever, like
Speaker 2: she's special, and the news comes out and they're all
Speaker 2: texting me like ha ha, They're sending me videos and
Speaker 2: of course, like I went through that, which is completely fine.
Speaker 5: A tough thing to go through though, No, No, you
Speaker 5: were smacked out in the middle of Holy Cow.
Speaker 2: But I made it my business to double down on
Speaker 2: our friendship, right because at that point we had I
Speaker 2: think we had like a week or right before that,
Speaker 2: we had kind of like broken up. It was my fault,
Speaker 2: and because I was being a little bit of a punk,
Speaker 2: long story short, I was like, you know what, at
Speaker 2: a time where everybody's back and the way, we're going
Speaker 2: to have a real friendship.
Speaker 5: And once once you saw how good it was, No,
Speaker 5: it was unfair, like really, I mean it was unfair
Speaker 5: because it's like it was her boyfriend.
Speaker 1: You're going beautiful. I had no issue with her. She's
Speaker 1: got some hustle.
Speaker 2: They're doing the same thing everybody does at home except
Speaker 2: for you and her, And now everybody just got to
Speaker 2: see it, Like, can you imagine if anybody had a
Speaker 2: camera on what we do at home?
Speaker 1: Oh man, that'd be the worst two and a half
Speaker 1: minute video ever.
Speaker 2: I thought it was just unfair, So I'm glad she
Speaker 2: played it the way right she did.
Speaker 1: Do you think about how much better, i mean different,
Speaker 1: your life would be if you would have married Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to say better.
Speaker 2: Nah, I mean, unfortunately, I tell you I'm dyslexic like that.
Speaker 2: I don't really think like that. I always think maybe
Speaker 2: you know, those are the we had different journeys and
Speaker 2: it is what it is.
Speaker 4: She's now two doors down for me, though, which is weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're real good friends with her mom, Chris, that's
Speaker 1: great and weird.
Speaker 2: Once again, I always wanted to get to know a
Speaker 2: lady's parents because I feel like when you marry them,
Speaker 2: you're marrying their parents.
Speaker 1: I you know what I wish I would have talked
Speaker 1: to you before I got married. My wife would would
Speaker 1: get very paranoid or I would add to it. If
Speaker 1: you if she was going to feed you, she beg
Speaker 1: we got to get more food. There's there's not enough,
Speaker 1: and I would like, whatever you're doing, I triple it,
Speaker 1: triple a normal day. And by the way, I've also
Speaker 1: seen your comically silly cereal bowl that you like to
Speaker 1: eat cereal out of something which is cereal.
Speaker 4: Man, that's my vice.
Speaker 1: I mean, by the way, those boxes have gotten so
Speaker 1: much like the bags and are so small. Are you
Speaker 1: eating like a bag at a time? A whole box
Speaker 1: of cereal.
Speaker 4: Easy, that's really fun. What's yours?
Speaker 1: My biggest vice?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, Heroin, Heroin, heroin.
Speaker 1: It's always been my vice. I love food, but then
Speaker 1: I get sick.
Speaker 5: I get sick and my stomach just flushes everything out.
Speaker 4: You might need to might have a gluten allergy.
Speaker 2: Me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just I don't care enough to like
Speaker 1: figure it out. I'd rather just go sit on the
Speaker 1: toilet for forty five minutes. Now, as a black man,
Speaker 1: did you enjoy today driving from your home in Calabasas
Speaker 1: to come here to work with three white guys in
Speaker 1: Baldwin Hills?
Speaker 4: It is interesting. I find culture very interesting.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you two things what I did find fast
Speaker 2: And I've never been to Baldwin Hills. And I've never
Speaker 2: been to a Starbucks where all the employees are black,
Speaker 2: all the people on line are black. And number two,
Speaker 2: I've never been doing Starbucks that move so quickly, like
Speaker 2: they were churning in there, like it was so well run.
Speaker 2: But number two, like I was raised not to see race,
Speaker 2: so I actually don't see race. It might be a
Speaker 2: disorder or something like that. I was in my household.
Speaker 2: We were raised we couldn't use the word white or black,
Speaker 2: like you might as well have said the F word.
Speaker 2: You'd be better off versus calling someone white, black, or
Speaker 2: even like Mexican. You couldn't say that. You had to
Speaker 2: say they're from Mexico. So my dad didn't believe in that.
Speaker 2: I have all these moments all the time where I'm like,
Speaker 2: I forget I'm the only black person in the room.
Speaker 1: So you're telling me, if you described me, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: say when would you say white? I would never say
Speaker 1: you would never bring it up in describing me. No, No,
Speaker 1: I'll talk about who you are, where you're from, right.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying if you're like, what's he look like?
Speaker 2: I would say you look like somebody who looks like you.
Speaker 2: I'd be like, he's your grandpa, He's.
Speaker 4: I would say.
Speaker 2: I would reference someone and be like, oh, he's the
Speaker 2: same complexion as if it mattered.
Speaker 1: Well, hey, I'll tell you when you saw colors as
Speaker 1: a former neighbor of mine. First of all, for people
Speaker 1: that don't know, you stopped boxing, I don't know, a
Speaker 1: decade ago. Yeah, all right, so you're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 1: fight again. But you started training and then you had
Speaker 1: a post on next door app Oh, hey, guys, I'm
Speaker 1: training for a fight or I'm training I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: jogging at night. So if you see a huge black
Speaker 1: man running through Malibu, don't call the police or don't
Speaker 1: shoot me. And I'm paraphrase, I'm hairphrasy direct quote, but no, director,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have a screenshot of it,
Speaker 1: but that's real. You knew that, you didn't know that,
Speaker 1: you didn't have to do that, but you're like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna do this because unfortunately a lot
Speaker 1: of other people do see color.
Speaker 4: Which I'm fully aware of.
Speaker 2: Okay, So then we moved to cal We moved out
Speaker 2: here in Malibu, and I said, you know what, let's
Speaker 2: go to the best place.
Speaker 4: We found this little gated neighborhood.
Speaker 2: And because I want safety just from everything right sure
Speaker 2: for everybody. You have to be careful, especially in LA
Speaker 2: And I was getting ready to get in shape and
Speaker 2: start running again because I do want to fight. And
Speaker 2: I started running around. I was terrified and actually never
Speaker 2: get scared. I like, don't register fear that well either.
Speaker 2: I think that's a form of disorder that's also from
Speaker 2: just being strong. So I looked at my wife. I
Speaker 2: came back because I like my short My run was
Speaker 2: only twenty minutes, and he's like, why did you you
Speaker 2: know only run so long?
Speaker 4: I said, you know what, I realized, I don't want to.
Speaker 2: I got to come back home to Hannah, and no
Speaker 2: matter what I think, like, if someone shoots me, like
Speaker 2: you just see it on the news, maybe I'll watch
Speaker 2: so much news.
Speaker 4: But that's that's why I put it out there.
Speaker 2: I did not say a black guy, but my profile
Speaker 2: clearly shows them the same color as my grandma.
Speaker 1: Well, I just was like, you know, who's not having
Speaker 1: to put that post up? A white guy? So I
Speaker 1: felt I felt like, that's oh look at that. That's
Speaker 1: horrible that you have to.
Speaker 4: But it's all good, man? Is this?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you my thoughts on boxing first, because
Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you. I don't like boxing,
Speaker 1: like I don't like the UFC. And and here's why
Speaker 1: I can't watch people fighting. It makes me sick to
Speaker 1: my stomach a little bit. And I've always been like that. Whenever,
Speaker 1: like a fight broke out in school and everybody crowded around,
Speaker 1: I was the kid that was like, oh no, oh,
Speaker 1: this is bad.
Speaker 4: This is bad.
Speaker 1: What we let's stop them. Fighting's always made me feel
Speaker 1: really weird.
Speaker 4: It's boxing.
Speaker 2: If you trained the boxing, you realize, like when you're
Speaker 2: when it's a sport and you're training to see the
Speaker 2: punches coming, they don't hurt that bad.
Speaker 4: Number one. The headshots don't really hurt that the body shots.
Speaker 2: That hurt, and you you'll probably look at boxing different
Speaker 2: once you box.
Speaker 1: With me, right, I'm not gonna I'm almost fifty. There's
Speaker 1: no way I'm getting punched.
Speaker 4: My dad was fighting when he was fifty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but he fought when he was twenty two,
Speaker 1: so it's a little different. It's not even it's not
Speaker 1: even a mental thing. It's I physically feel ill watching
Speaker 1: people fight.
Speaker 2: I feel like that during UFC though, because in boxing
Speaker 2: there's it's a gentleman sport, so to speak, and people
Speaker 2: do foul sometime, but you're supposed to once a guy
Speaker 2: can't fight anymore, you can't, you're supposed to back off
Speaker 2: unless let the referee do his job. In MMA, and
Speaker 2: I have full respect for UFC and Dana White, and
Speaker 2: I love what they've accomplished. But you hit a guy,
Speaker 2: he goes down. He's actually knocked unconscious but kind of
Speaker 2: moving still. You can be out on your feet and
Speaker 2: still be lucid, and then you go down and you
Speaker 2: start banging his head until the ref stops it. I
Speaker 2: think that's inappropriate. I actually can't watch UFC. I actually
Speaker 2: get sick the same way. And I'm a fighter.
Speaker 1: Here's another thing I don't understand about boxing always having
Speaker 1: to hate your opponent, whether it's the pre fight stuff
Speaker 1: where I always thought, I've thought this long time, wouldn't
Speaker 1: it be funny if the guy was like, Ah, I
Speaker 1: love this guy, He's great. I wish him the best.
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm gonna I'm because you know, I
Speaker 1: bring it to basketball like Michael Jordan, like he always
Speaker 1: had to hate his opponent he could, you know. But
Speaker 1: now generations like Lebron, like they can go out to
Speaker 1: dinner and they can play basketball that night. It's not
Speaker 1: like he's not going to try to kill him on
Speaker 1: the court.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 1: You know, the two don't have to go hand in hand.
Speaker 1: As what I'm saying, you don't have to hate somebody
Speaker 1: to compete against them.
Speaker 4: I think that there's two reasons.
Speaker 2: Number One, boxing comes from the same play as WWF
Speaker 2: comes from Madison Square Garden and then it was the
Speaker 2: same promoters. They would work together and promote boxing the
Speaker 2: same way they did wrestling. It's you have Pee Wee
Speaker 2: Herman versus King Kong and Pever Herman wins, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: we got to see a rematch, right, And so that's
Speaker 2: how boxing was promoted, and eventually it became more about
Speaker 2: the sport and the competition and there aren't that great
Speaker 2: but there's a direct line between P. T. Barnum and
Speaker 2: Don King like mentor friend and so on and so forth,
Speaker 2: and so we knew we had to hype these fights
Speaker 2: up otherwise no one cares. And then what happens now, though,
Speaker 2: is everybody knows we got to talk up the fight
Speaker 2: because otherwise it's boring and there's no story. Every boxer
Speaker 2: knows the fight starts when you signed the contract, right
Speaker 2: because you got to get the psychological advantage. But what
Speaker 2: happens is the both fighters know, hey, we got to
Speaker 2: talk it up, and at some point someone goes too
Speaker 2: far and now it becomes a real fight, and you
Speaker 2: also you're trying to win the exchange.
Speaker 4: So I think that that's what happens, and it I.
Speaker 1: Mean I all that makes sense. It was a roast battle.
Speaker 1: How were you six sixteen and zero in your career
Speaker 1: and then you retired? Who does that?
Speaker 4: Well? Two things.
Speaker 2: So when I was training, it's a I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's a myth, but when you're training, you can't.
Speaker 4: You have to be celibate.
Speaker 1: You don't. That's another thing that's probably made up. I
Speaker 1: don't whoever made whoever came up with. That was why
Speaker 1: I take a chance. So that was my attitude. So
Speaker 1: for like five years, I'm celibate. You know, you're kind
Speaker 1: of like excited not to have to be like that.
Speaker 1: Put it that way, What if you weren't and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden had the best fight of your life,
Speaker 1: would you be like, oh, that's way better.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I'm not willing to take that chance.
Speaker 2: I'm not at least you got to say. For at
Speaker 2: least six eight weeks, and I was fighting every six
Speaker 2: eight weeks, I would masturbate on the way to the ring.
Speaker 2: See what happens.
Speaker 4: I'd love to fight you.
Speaker 1: You know, wall boxes always have rappers bringing them to
Speaker 1: the ring. A lot of times I see that on
Speaker 1: big fights. I think it'd be cool if you had
Speaker 1: like a comic and I'm just doing material on the
Speaker 1: way to the ring, you ever.
Speaker 4: Notice, I think it would be a better fit than rapping.
Speaker 1: You know, the worst time I ever saw you got
Speaker 1: hit it's not boxing. It was when you walked into
Speaker 1: a giant umbrella at that restaurant. You remember, you turned
Speaker 1: and hit that thing right in your head.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that hurts. That was actually worse
Speaker 2: than I've ever been punched before. Seriously, man, I can
Speaker 2: take a punch, but that was horrible.
Speaker 1: I want to get back to the question that I
Speaker 1: asked you, which is you were sixteen and oh and
Speaker 1: then you just walked away. But were you a champion
Speaker 1: at sixteen?
Speaker 4: And oh?
Speaker 1: Did you ever get?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: What level do you get to at sixteen?
Speaker 4: And oh?
Speaker 2: Boxing's a wild wall West of sports. There's no proper league.
Speaker 2: There's like four belts which you're sanctioning bodies. Then there's
Speaker 2: separate promoters, separate networks. It's not concentrated the power and
Speaker 2: the control like UFC, which is why the sport struggles.
Speaker 2: So for me, I didn't have an amateur career. I
Speaker 2: had sixteen fights just fighting. Honestly, whoever they would put
Speaker 2: in front of me, to get experience in front of crowds,
Speaker 2: to get used to that, and also to like when
Speaker 2: you fight, only twenty percent of what you can do
Speaker 2: and makes it to the ring, and then as you
Speaker 2: get more experienced, eighty percent of what you can do
Speaker 2: in the gym makes it to the ring. So it
Speaker 2: was about preparation, but honestly, it was becoming the most
Speaker 2: popular fighter, proving that I can compete, and then it
Speaker 2: was about having a fighting for the heavyweight title, and
Speaker 2: that's still my goal to this day. I only put
Speaker 2: it down because I didn't want to make my living
Speaker 2: off of boxing, because I was too scary to like,
Speaker 2: if I don't get a fight, I can't pay my bills.
Speaker 2: So I started a gym to make money between fights.
Speaker 1: How many gyms do you have now?
Speaker 4: Right now?
Speaker 2: I have four locations. One is mine in Calabasa is
Speaker 2: the other of franchises in Canada.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about your employees. You're not afraid to look
Speaker 1: at a resume and go, oh, it says here you
Speaker 1: were in prison for a while.
Speaker 4: No, I mean I owe a lot of it to
Speaker 4: my dad.
Speaker 2: Number one. My dad was a criminal. He was thrown
Speaker 2: in jail multiple times before sixteen, anything horrible, just beating
Speaker 2: up people, beating up his friends, stuff like that.
Speaker 4: He was an angry guy.
Speaker 2: But he literally used to charge attacks to people to
Speaker 2: cross streets, like you can't cross the street unless you
Speaker 2: pay George, He's gone to do some great things.
Speaker 1: I wish that fuddy was still doing well. Remember to
Speaker 1: make money just telling people you want to cross the street.
Speaker 1: They're like the crosswalk signals on.
Speaker 2: He's like, no, I actually met a guy if he's
Speaker 2: like I always looked up to your dad. And I
Speaker 2: was like why because I was sticking the boxing and
Speaker 2: the quills, and he said, man, I already used to
Speaker 2: charge attacks for people to walk across the street. And
Speaker 2: he's like that blew my mind. And this is like
Speaker 2: a real like dude, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 2: a serious dude. If you know what I mean, you think,
Speaker 2: oh sorry. My point on that was, I grew up.
Speaker 2: I never beat anybody up in school. I was beat
Speaker 2: up once, and I can't beat you up.
Speaker 4: Was first grade.
Speaker 2: I just moved back to be closer to my father,
Speaker 2: and a group of kids called me the N word,
Speaker 2: and of course I had something to say about that, huh,
Speaker 2: And I tried to like fight, and they grabbed my hands, pulled,
Speaker 2: you know, pulled me back and beat me up.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, you got jumped.
Speaker 4: I got jumped.
Speaker 1: No, no, but no kid in first grades one on
Speaker 1: one beating you up.
Speaker 2: No no, no, but I got jumped and like held
Speaker 2: down and beat up. And so I told my dad
Speaker 2: about it and whatever, and he was like, look, he said,
Speaker 2: if you're going to fight in school, you need to
Speaker 2: be prepared to come home and fight me. You're not
Speaker 2: going to fight in school. And so I said, you
Speaker 2: know what, I backed down from every fight or bluffed
Speaker 2: my way out of it because I was literally more
Speaker 2: afraid of what would happen to me when I.
Speaker 1: Come Yeah, at home's the heavyweight champ. At school is
Speaker 1: just a little prick.
Speaker 2: So when my neighbor comes up to me with a
Speaker 2: pistol or someone says I've been in jail for seventeen years,
Speaker 2: I just see a human. I'm not afraid of them.
Speaker 2: I'm more afraid of my dad. You could take your
Speaker 2: dad right now.
Speaker 4: I don't know. He still punch is pretty hard.
Speaker 1: That'd be the fight. Let's get that on the Hey,
Speaker 1: what is the deal? One of your first few fights
Speaker 1: coming up the people. Are you just picking somebody to
Speaker 1: punch the head or how's it work?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean, look, you know that people, some people call
Speaker 2: them bums or whatever, but I think, look, it's it's
Speaker 2: it's a feat to walk in the ring and take
Speaker 2: your shirt off and fight in front of three to
Speaker 2: six thousand or twenty thousand people. But it's literally everybody
Speaker 2: does it because it's how you get sharp, and it's
Speaker 2: how you get yourself in front of fans. Like I
Speaker 2: don't know if you like practice material or use this, of.
Speaker 1: Course I do.
Speaker 2: It's like that, and then when you're like, yo, I
Speaker 2: got this down, then it's time to put it all
Speaker 2: in the line. But every time you walk in the ring,
Speaker 2: you're risking your entire career. You can get knocked out,
Speaker 2: so you only take the big risk when there's a
Speaker 2: big paycheck.
Speaker 1: But that's not considered fixed though, right, No.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that stopped in like maybe the sixties seventies.
Speaker 1: What a fixed fight?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they wouldn't so much.
Speaker 2: I mean they would remember the mob control boxing until seventies.
Speaker 2: But remember they also control gambling, so there were things
Speaker 2: like hey, there's this champion and this guy who everybody
Speaker 2: thinks can beat the champion.
Speaker 4: Let's have this fight.
Speaker 2: And they would ask a champion, hey, don't fight too hard,
Speaker 2: make it competitive. You're gonna lose this one, so they
Speaker 2: can have a rubber match and have the second and
Speaker 2: third it's CONT's a controversial loss. Everybody wants to see
Speaker 2: the next fight, so it's even bigger. And then you're
Speaker 2: gonna win this second fight. Well, now everybody wants to
Speaker 2: see the tiebreaker, and then the tiebreaker is a fair fight.
Speaker 2: And people kind of just knew that and that those
Speaker 2: are the types of things they would do to make
Speaker 2: great fights but also make money. On the gambling side,
Speaker 2: you gamble, ever, I do slot machines. I don't know
Speaker 2: how to gamble. I'm like, not that smart. I would
Speaker 2: love to gamble with you.
Speaker 1: Though I enjoy gambling. What's your favorite what's your favorite
Speaker 1: boxing movie?
Speaker 4: Raging Bull.
Speaker 2: If you know boxing and you're from the culture that
Speaker 2: they like, they have it down to a t, because
Speaker 2: when you become great and you're fighting, you get really paranoid.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you've seen it, but there's
Speaker 2: a scene where he can he accused his brother of
Speaker 2: sleeping with his wife that was boxed. That's the life
Speaker 2: of a prize fighter.
Speaker 1: Mine's coming to America.
Speaker 4: What's your favorite part?
Speaker 1: Well, just the boxing barbershops.
Speaker 4: Joe Louis. Yeah, that was classic Eddie Murphy's nuts.
Speaker 1: By the way, I know this because you were at
Speaker 1: my house last night. You don't listen to this show.
Speaker 1: You haven't watched this show every episode. Because I appreciate
Speaker 1: people taking time out, but I also hate having stuff
Speaker 1: at my house. I give them something from my house
Speaker 1: that I don't want anymore, and I say, here, you
Speaker 1: take this, and that's your gift for being on the show.
Speaker 1: So today this is what I got you, George, for
Speaker 1: being on the show.
Speaker 4: I want your house. Can you give me that.
Speaker 2: I got?
Speaker 1: Actually, brough, I got you my bounce house?
Speaker 4: Oh my, are you serious?
Speaker 1: Care about?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: You can handle anything. So last night the kids are
Speaker 1: playing in the bounce house and he's like, you own
Speaker 1: you own your own bounce house. I'm like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: owned my so now I'm giving it to you so
Speaker 1: that you and your daughter. Oh it's a good ring
Speaker 1: for her. Uh And on rainy days, this thing is
Speaker 1: is it fits inside? You move some furniture.
Speaker 4: I can't fit this in my house.
Speaker 1: But you'll you'll find a place for It'll be great,
Speaker 1: It'll be great. You ever taken you ever taken a
Speaker 1: pull on punch from your dad back in the day.
Speaker 2: Like yes, one time when I was like six or seven,
Speaker 2: we were fighting and.
Speaker 1: Whoa six or I was hoping you were in the
Speaker 1: ring at twenty all right, never mind, he.
Speaker 2: Really didn't punch me. He like snapped a punch right it.
Speaker 2: You know, he could pull it punch before he hit you.
Speaker 2: And that was one that obviously that inert we were
Speaker 2: play fighting. But then when I became a boxer, my
Speaker 2: dad was my trainer and my manager for six years.
Speaker 2: One day he was like, hey, I gotta if I'm
Speaker 2: going to train you, I got it. I only know
Speaker 2: what type of five of you are if I get
Speaker 2: in the ring with you. So we got in the
Speaker 2: ring together for the whole week, and he wouldn't wrap
Speaker 2: my hands, you wouldn't to me. He would go into
Speaker 2: the corner and be like, you know, get over there,
Speaker 2: like you're just another fighter now. And for the whole week,
Speaker 2: he was about sixty three years old. We sparred every
Speaker 2: single day and I was just running like Ali literally
Speaker 2: and finally he was like, I'm gonna.
Speaker 4: Get ahold of you.
Speaker 2: Like the fourth day, he reached over and leaned to
Speaker 2: the left and he was about to hit me so
Speaker 2: hard on my liver, I remember it, and he pulled
Speaker 2: back and he kind of looked at me like.
Speaker 4: Don't get ahead of yourself, like I can still whip
Speaker 4: your ass. Uh. So that happened.
Speaker 1: Are you the one person that doesn't love Muhammad Ali
Speaker 1: because he beat up your dad?
Speaker 4: I mean there's two parts of that.
Speaker 2: I have a lot. Muhammad Ali was a great fighter.
Speaker 2: I respect him and so on and so forth. But
Speaker 2: the part like, had he not beat my dad, neither
Speaker 2: one of them would be legends.
Speaker 4: In my opinion.
Speaker 2: I think where I was the only thing I would
Speaker 2: ever hold against him is that he didn't give him
Speaker 2: a rematch. Yeah, but he was Ali. He was washed
Speaker 2: up at the time, so to speak. He was on
Speaker 2: his way out. He fought him. Everybody convinced my dad
Speaker 2: to fight Ali because that was what you did back then.
Speaker 4: It was traditional.
Speaker 2: If there was a big champ, you give him one
Speaker 2: more payday so he can retire, and then you absorb
Speaker 2: his fan base. And so my dad was like, all right,
Speaker 2: just pay me I'll fight him. And the only guy
Speaker 2: to beat Ali at that point where Joe Frazier, who
Speaker 2: my dad beat in two rounds. I love boxing, so
Speaker 2: bear with me. Kenny Norton broke his jaw. My dad
Speaker 2: beat him inside two rounds. And then Ali's thirty four
Speaker 2: at the time, which is old in boxing, and so
Speaker 2: they're like, George.
Speaker 4: Is going to kill him.
Speaker 2: And so once again he was like, if I beat him,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get credit. If I heard him that,
Speaker 2: people are going to hate me. But this is five
Speaker 2: million dollars. This is the biggest payday ever in sports history.
Speaker 2: So he did it. But then Ali beat him and
Speaker 2: everybody said, oh my god, this guy came. It's like Superman.
Speaker 2: He was in an impossible situation and won. Now he's
Speaker 2: the greatest of all time. So I think that's really cool.
Speaker 2: And then twenty years later, my dad was able to
Speaker 2: get his title after losing it, and now he became
Speaker 2: great because he's forty six years old, redeeming himself. So
Speaker 2: I think it worked out for both of them. That's
Speaker 2: the way it was supposed to happen.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna get into the grill because it's just
Speaker 1: gonna make me laugh. It wasn't like it this was
Speaker 1: a slam dunk. It wasn't like, oh, your dad was
Speaker 1: just such a business genius. It was like they brought
Speaker 1: him this and he was like, ah, whatever, and then
Speaker 1: he asked for sixteen grills.
Speaker 4: All true.
Speaker 2: So so we're bankrupt. My dad fights twenty times in
Speaker 2: like three years. He's bankrupt because he spends. He spends
Speaker 2: Number one he gives, I can't say no to people.
Speaker 2: And also the guy who manages his money stole it.
Speaker 1: This is when he don't hire felons for certain positions.
Speaker 4: These white collar crimes are way worse.
Speaker 2: But agreed, he's making He made thirteen million dollars to
Speaker 2: fight Holy Phil. Then was ten million, ten millions. So
Speaker 2: the commercials he would get paid for six half hour day,
Speaker 2: six hour shoot, two hundred and fifty three hundred. This
Speaker 2: is like, we're thrilled to make this type of money.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to get hit and so that's what
Speaker 2: he's used to. So a friend of his had a
Speaker 2: friend who was with him in college and said, hey,
Speaker 2: we have this grill that my friend is marketing. It's
Speaker 2: been taking off the shelves before. We can't to get
Speaker 2: it going, But how about you promote it? He was like, fine,
Speaker 2: just pay me about two hundred to four hundred thousand
Speaker 2: dollars and I'll be there for six hours. They're like no.
Speaker 2: Then they said, well, just form a joint venture. We'll
Speaker 2: provide the operations, you provide your time in your name,
Speaker 2: and you'll own twenty percent of it, twenty two percent
Speaker 2: of it, twenty three no, no.
Speaker 1: What was his magic number? What was his magic number?
Speaker 4: Sixteen grills?
Speaker 1: Sixteen grills?
Speaker 2: So finally the one percentage to find the offer got
Speaker 2: up to forty five percent of a joint venture.
Speaker 4: U huh. And after all the expenses were paid, he
Speaker 4: keep the pro forty five.
Speaker 2: Percent in free grills because he liked him. Well, my
Speaker 2: mom had been cooking grilled cheese for us. There's so
Speaker 2: many of us and his steaks and the teflon rubbed off,
Speaker 2: and so he said, I want sixteen grills, which is
Speaker 2: enough for the teflon to rub off and still have
Speaker 2: one enough for my homes and enough for my mother. Okay,
Speaker 2: And he said, I'll give you a half day shoot,
Speaker 2: and that got the deal done.
Speaker 1: And how many years went by before it exploded?
Speaker 4: So that the deal was signed in ninety three.
Speaker 2: At the end of ninety four, he buy a fluke,
Speaker 2: got a heavyweight title shot in one Now he's in
Speaker 2: the cover of Sports Illustrated Athlete of the Year and
Speaker 2: they're like, wow, we got this guy for cheap. It
Speaker 2: still wasn't doing good, so they kept promoting it, promoting it,
Speaker 2: and they said, George, we want to tweak it and
Speaker 2: take the videos of you boxing and show videos at
Speaker 2: home with your kids cooking, actually using it, and then
Speaker 2: they just put everything behind it, and by nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: seven then things started to change. He had his last fight,
Speaker 2: he was forty nine, lost the decision. They come in
Speaker 2: and give his manager came and gave him a check.
Speaker 2: His attorney for a million dollars and that was just
Speaker 2: one month of his forty five percent and at that
Speaker 2: point he was like, I think I can retire.
Speaker 1: So now he's now he got a million a month,
Speaker 1: what's the most He was making like five million a
Speaker 1: month just off the grill, And then they got fed up.
Speaker 1: They're like, we can't keep paying you this much money.
Speaker 1: So they're like, how much just to own your name
Speaker 1: on this grill forever? And you walk away and They're like,
Speaker 1: you're like a one hundred and twenty eight million what
Speaker 1: was the number?
Speaker 2: There was a publicly traded company, so they had to
Speaker 2: report at some point and say like, why is all
Speaker 2: this money going up to So they offered him one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty seven million. Twenty of it was stock,
Speaker 2: and the stock went up when they did the deal
Speaker 2: because now the company's going to be more profitable. So
Speaker 2: it ended up being about one hundred and seventy ish million.
Speaker 2: I know for a fact that you have a Weber.
Speaker 4: Yes, I have a Webber. Come on, man, come on.
Speaker 1: Do you think in hindsight your dad, if your dad
Speaker 1: could have had that grill money, do you think he
Speaker 1: would have not fought that final comeback run. Yes, he
Speaker 1: didn't want to fight, even though he became the heavyweight champion.
Speaker 2: Again, look my dad, he said if he had a
Speaker 2: college degree, he would have been a teacher. He was
Speaker 2: a preacher and he's like this is all I know
Speaker 2: how to do. And he did love boxing, but no,
Speaker 2: he wouldn't no way with that.
Speaker 1: I wonder if people ever went to his church and went, hey,
Speaker 1: isn't that the guy that used to charge us to
Speaker 1: walk across the street? By the way, I just recently
Speaker 1: saw because I look at some blogs of cars and
Speaker 1: he just unloaded the most like a hundred cars and
Speaker 1: he still has a lot more. Of course he does.
Speaker 1: And I'm just like going through these cars like it's
Speaker 1: like they're they're so random. And then like then they
Speaker 1: all have like three thousand miles on him, they're like nothing.
Speaker 2: He had a beatle with two hundred miles on it,
Speaker 2: lag and beatle.
Speaker 1: Your dad also has right now over one hundred dogs true.
Speaker 4: Or false true that we know of. He hides them
Speaker 4: from my mom.
Speaker 1: And you do you guys sell them or.
Speaker 2: It's a pleasure thing. He'll sell them if like he
Speaker 2: finds a good home. You know, sometime he'll just give
Speaker 2: them to people because he cares about the home. He's
Speaker 2: literally Doctor Doolittle. We grew up with.
Speaker 4: Crocodiles, antelope, elk let's see monkeys, lemurs, cows, of course, horses,
Speaker 4: over one hundred horses.
Speaker 1: Right, it's you understand why he went bankrupt a couple
Speaker 1: of hours, right, Like you can't have a zoo, like
Speaker 1: that's not zoos are run by the city, Like that's
Speaker 1: is your dad getting sweeter as he gets older.
Speaker 2: He's a he's always been a puppy dog, right, but
Speaker 2: he's been tough to the kids.
Speaker 4: He was.
Speaker 1: He was just strict, right, well strict and puppy dogs
Speaker 1: are far apart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think yeah, he's definitely way more lean it.
Speaker 2: And he's saw like even his ministries. You know, when
Speaker 2: it started, it was like, the Bible says what the
Speaker 2: Bible says, and that's what we're preaching.
Speaker 4: And now he it's the doctrine of love.
Speaker 2: He's like, if it's in the book, if it's in
Speaker 2: the Bible, but it violates me loving somebody, then I'm
Speaker 2: not for it.
Speaker 4: So he's definitely nice to hear.
Speaker 1: The first question I ask all my guests, Yeah, do
Speaker 1: you believe in ghosts?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I do. I can't disprove it.
Speaker 2: And I had one incident in the Langham Hotel where
Speaker 2: there was a butler. Our room came with a butler,
Speaker 2: and my dad and my mom were in the next
Speaker 2: room and they were sleep and I was looking at
Speaker 2: the door. I'm meeting my room service, and the door
Speaker 2: just closes and I run to the door, and long
Speaker 2: story short, I won't explain the context.
Speaker 4: I'm sure it was a ghost.
Speaker 1: But that's it. That's from that moment you're like, well,
Speaker 1: ghost are real because of this moment of one door
Speaker 1: that swung closed or opened, which was an open closed,
Speaker 1: it was slightly open, it was slightly opened, and then
Speaker 1: it closed. Yeah yeah, yeah, that man's just a draft.
Speaker 1: Something came through. It was a ghost man.
Speaker 2: Because so if you that hotel, I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's still called the Langham. It's an old hospital.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Old that's a key word in this because old stuff
Speaker 1: always things happen.
Speaker 4: Do you believe the ghost No, of course I do.
Speaker 4: Why not?
Speaker 1: I don't know because I just don't true or false?
Speaker 1: You're considering doing that porn, George, I got.
Speaker 4: To feed my family. But hopefully things will things will
Speaker 4: never get to that point.
Speaker 1: You've got. You've got a wonderful family, You've got a
Speaker 1: wonderful gym uh And you know, if you want a box,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna obviously I'll root for you, but I'm probably
Speaker 1: I'm probably not gonna pay pay per view for it.
Speaker 1: You'll pirate it if possible. But thank you for being
Speaker 1: on the show, George, talking to you, Pasha, well Carl,
Speaker 1: that was a delight. Thank you very much, George, and
Speaker 1: I will be calling you George for the rest of
Speaker 1: my life and nothing else. Just George. You know, what
Speaker 1: I admire so much about George is is that he
Speaker 1: has just so much respect and he's and he's proud
Speaker 1: of his dad, and there's just that's just kind of neat.
Speaker 1: I just you know, I I could learn from that
Speaker 1: a little bit. But then again, my dad wasn't the
Speaker 1: heavyweight champion of the world. You know, my dad worked
Speaker 1: at human resources, and it's just not as cool. It's
Speaker 1: just it's just harder to be so proud of that.
Speaker 1: But I but I should. I should. He's because you know,
Speaker 1: his dad is strict, probably too strict, but whatever. He uh,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a that's a good thing that they've
Speaker 1: got going. And I'm glad that George Senior is in
Speaker 1: good health. That's great. I'm happy that he was on
Speaker 1: the show.

Speaker 1: Remember that show? Oh yeah, that shitty comic that had
Speaker 1: one house that was barely worth a million dollars, so

Speaker 1: it's time for one of my son's bedtime stories that
Speaker 1: were recorded when he was three years old. Enjoy the

Speaker 5: It doesn't make sense, and it's it's really hard to understand.

Speaker 5: your voice is already on the scale of tough to understand,
Speaker 5: and then when you do voices, it's like, what are
Speaker 5: we talking about.
