1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: The volume. Yo, what up, guys? Hey, NFL Wildcard weekend

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: is upon us, and our friends at hard Rock Bet

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: has got you covered with all of the playoff problems

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: that you need from the wildcard. Hey, you can even

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: pick who you think will win the super Bowl. It's

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: easy when the Saints are in the super Bowl because

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: anytime we're in the or sorry, when we're in the playoffs,

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: because anytime we're in the playoffs, we are favorite to

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: win the super Bowl. Unfortunately, this year, Tyler Shuck didn't

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: start playing early enough for us to make the super Bowl.

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: But I digress, I digress. Let's talk about the NFL

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: Wildcard weekend. There are some big games in the Wildcard weekend,

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: So I'm giving you my picks, so then you can

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: go and download the hard Rock Bet app to use

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: my picks as your picks and try to cash in.

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: I guess, so here we go. We got the Rams

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: and the Panthers. I'm giving you the Rams because the

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: Panthers they're terrible, but they just got lucky because they're

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: in the NFC SOL with the rest of us, and

20
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: we're all tar so they're in the playoffs by default.

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: When a whole bunch of bad teams are playing for

22
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: a playoffs spot. Somebody's gotta go. Hopefully it don't look

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: like James Madison in the college football playoffs this year.

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: The Packers and the Bears. I mean, the Bears just

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: beat the Packers, but that can go either way. But

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna lean in one direction, I'm gonna lean

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: with the team that actually won the last game. I'm

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: taking the Chicago Bears, the Chargers, and the Patriots. The

29
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Patriots have proven to beat the Patriots of old again.

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: They are fantastic. What a team. I will take the

31
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, the Bills and the Jaguars. Guys, it

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: is universally thought that this is the best chance for

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. So I'm gonna think and say that the

34
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: Bills will get the job done behind the arm of

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: the great Josh Allen and the forty nine ers in

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: the Eagles, Hey, I hate it. I hate it, but

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: I live in the Bay and when they got beat

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: the way they got beat last weekend, I know that

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: the Niners will have something to prove. So bet how

40
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: on the San Francisco forty nine Ers at Wildcard weekend? Hey,

00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: will not slow you down? All right? So you know,

63
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: news broke the other day that John Jones and I

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: are coaching against each other in our global reality show.

65
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: I got some background information for you. So a few

66
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: months ago, I received a text message from a number

67
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I did not recognize. When I get the text message,

68
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: I see that it's a video. But all the communications

69
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: are in What's App, which I don't check very often.

70
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: I checked the WhatsApp. I see in WhatsApp a message,

71
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: it's a video. I look in the video. The first

72
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: thing that pops on my screen is a Russian guy

73
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: and then he pans to the right and is John Jones. Look,

74
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: you guys know that the one thing that I want

75
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: to do always is compete against John Jones anything, right.

76
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: I don't love the idea of going around him. But

77
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: if John Jones learned anything over the time that him

78
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: and I were interacting and fighting, is just challenge me.

79
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: If you challenge me, you know that I'm going to respond.

80
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: How is that response gonna go? You don't know, but

81
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: you do know that if you challenge me. I am

82
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: going to respond. John Jones challenges me. It's it's Alfredo

83
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: and Jones. Alfredo says, Daniel, I have a message for you,

84
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: Jones and says, come over here and coach against me

85
00:04:53,240 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: and alv Global. Maybe you can get one what what hey?

86
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: Of course, like I said, I've never ran from the

87
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: idea that to do one of the fights. Obviously, there

88
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: were a whole bunch of stuff around those fights that

89
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: makes for it to be as cloudy as it is.

90
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: Uh So, our official record obviously is one and one.

91
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking one lost by me, one no contest. So

92
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: I get to thinking with my team, like, am I

93
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: gonna do this? Am I gonna go and be around

94
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: this man for you know, a month? What is this

95
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: going to entail? What is the process? I, in my

96
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: limited understanding of what the show is, envisioned an ultimate fighter.

97
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be the better coach? So I start putting

98
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: my staff together. I get my boxing coach, I get

99
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: my kickboxing coach, I get my jiu jitsu coach. We're

100
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: gonna go to Thailand and beat John Jones's team in

101
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: a mixed martial arts competition. I don't know. I don't know.

102
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: My knowledge of this show was seeing the Diaz get choked,

103
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: which gives me an idea it's a martial arts competition,

104
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: seeing Al Jamain and him doing it, I go to

105
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: do it, and I see Jones. I have said now

106
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: that when Jones and I were fighting, we could not

107
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: be around each other without rushing at each other to fight.

108
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: I am forty five years, forty six years, forty six

109
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: years old. I'm forty six years old. I don't even

110
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: know old I am anymore. Jones has to be almost

111
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: forty thirty eight thirty nine, so that need to rush

112
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: and fight at every turn is gone. We were as

113
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: cordial as we can be, when in reality there's a

114
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: lot of underlying things between us that will never die,

115
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: just won't die. So when I see the video the

116
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: other day of Jones saying, you know, it would give

117
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: us an opportunity to become friends. Him coming out here

118
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: would give us both an opportunities and maybe stut of friendship,

119
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that he believes that, and honestly don't

120
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: know that that's what he wants. I don't know that's

121
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: what he wants. I have said time and time again

122
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: that the authenticity that surrounds John Jones can come into question.

123
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: So what we hear may not be necessarily what he means, right,

124
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: What we hear may not necessarily be what he truly

125
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: means right. It's it's a I feel like it might

126
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a defense mechanism. I'm the

127
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: bigger guy. Look at me extending the olive branch. It

128
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: was all the way back to the events where like

129
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, we're waving at each other. Now, all these

130
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: videos are coming up whenever we're like talking on the phone.

131
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: It's like so many different uncomfortable situations. But John Jones

132
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: the everyweight champion in the world, and I have a

133
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: job to do as a broadcaster on that show. We

134
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: get there and guys, I will tell you this without

135
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: telling you what happens on the show. It is as

136
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: wild a show as I have ever been involved with

137
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: in my entire life. I've never done or been around

138
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: anything like this in my life. It is crazy some

139
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: of the things that happen over the course of that show.

140
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: It's also crazy to see John and I in the

141
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: same situation where at times it's cordial and a lot

142
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: of times we're kind of just arguing. The whole time.

143
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: We just argue. It's what happens whenever we're around each other.

144
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: We're just arguing, you know, outside of doing the show together,

145
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: going out to Thailand, figuring out when I got there

146
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: that it's not an MMA competition, it's actually boxing with

147
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: MMA gloves. So now I got a jiu jitsu coach's

148
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: there and he doesn't necessarily have the ability to teach.

149
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: It's very different watching my coaching style versus Joneses coaching style.

150
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: The amount of time spit with the guys, it's like

151
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: so different in those ways. It's also hard not to

152
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: continue to challenge each other. There were multiple occasions in

153
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: the midst of the time spit together where Jones and

154
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: I argued about fighting each other in a boxing match,

155
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: to which I agreed to do if it's just boxing.

156
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: We also and the one that caught far the most

157
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: was the wrestling thing, because I said that I would

158
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: wrestle him in real American freestyle wrestling and I would

159
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: beat him. That stems from John earlier saying I would

160
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: wrestle Daniel in a exhibition or a grappling match for charity.

161
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: That was something he said prior. Luis find that clip

162
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: that throwing it in the video so that the people

163
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: see that I'm not making it up. I'm not making

164
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: this up. There's a desire, right regardless of the respect

165
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: for the fighting ability, there's a desire to compete against

166
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: each other in something. I think that is honestly the

167
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: most telling part of the relationship between myself and John Jones,

168
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: that no matter what it is in terms of respect

169
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: for skill, respect for ability. You guys know, in terms

170
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: of a person, him and I will never be or

171
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: see eye to eye, But in terms of the fighter,

172
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: I feel like between us there's a need to compete,

173
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: and truthfully, in the heart of it, in the heart

174
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: of the fighting, it was actually a gift to have

175
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: someone with that level of skill to want to compete

176
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: with that much and have that need for competition, and

177
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: that still sits today. It's still in there. So while

178
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: maybe we're not fighting each other physically like we did

179
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: or throwing stuff at each other, it's still chirp, chirp,

180
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: box me, wrestle me, grapple me, do something to make

181
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: us be on the opposite side of the line to

182
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: where him and I come together and we compete our fight.

183
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: Gotta do something now, the idea that John Jones and

184
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: I would wrestle a match, like literally get into a

185
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: stance and wrestle a match. This is the world champion,

186
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: Islama gadja. He knows. I mean, it's really hard to

187
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: understand that even at forty six years old, forty six,

188
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: I still coach wrestling. I still wrestle three days a

189
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: week with the kids. I'm still drilling, I'm still doing moves.

190
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: I don't understand how this idea that I could lose

191
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: the wrestling matches out there, but I guess we could

192
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: find out. And guess what, I'm not the only one

193
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: talking about a wrestling match between John Jones and I.

194
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm just the only one doing it publicly. Stay tuned

195
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,719
