44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's getting deep. Now. We've been months

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 1: you miss the most? Well, you know what, I'm I'm

50
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: almost almost at that point, but you know, I'm still

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: listening to the health and safety, the health experts and

52
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: the science scientists and everything. But that question, what do

00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: thought about it. And every Saturday prior to this, every

00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: to certain places. Um. And it's just just the simple things, man,

76
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: going out to dinner, hitting a movie, just doing the basics.

77
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: I I really, I really found out how much I

78
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: enjoyed that kind of stuff now that this has happened.

79
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: So it's the small things for me, man. I hear that, Craig,

80
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: before we find out what you missed the most. We

81
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: do need an update on the laps. As I keep

82
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: reading on your I G. People keep cominging how many

83
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: laps is he swimming? Now? As we've been following you

84
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: on this quarantine, as you started swimming your laps, Frank

85
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: Shamrock just let you know. You know our friend and

86
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: brother here, Craig Washerman. He's the oldest of the group.

87
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: He's at, you know, fifty eight years old, and he

88
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: started swimming laps at a swimming pool. He started at

89
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: three laps he was able to do. So. Now, Craig,

90
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: where are you at with your laps? Before we hear

91
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: what you missed most about COVID nineteen? Yeah, I mean

92
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: the COVID thing has been a mixed a mixed bag

93
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: blessing in disguise type thing because I haven't had this

94
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: pool for literally twenty five years, and I go in

95
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: it and I get out of it. I don't swim

96
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: in it. And since his COVID thing started, I've been

97
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: I started doing the laps and working my way up

98
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: or walking two miles a day. Uh. So, I mean

99
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: it's it's been a blessing on that end of it,

100
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: as far as getting back into getting into shape and

101
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: uh getting my cardio up and and even though my

102
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: old joints are all fucked up, that's swimming is the

103
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: best what I missed most. I gotta it's like blue Man,

104
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: It's just it's the little things. It's I know what

105
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: it really is. It's tough. Is the fucking hugs you

106
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: can't hug, you know, it's it's it's brutal and and

107
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: it's it's just weird when you see somebody. We went

108
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: on a motorcycle ride this weekend. We actually was really cool.

109
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: One of our brothers friends in witty ER's daughter just

110
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: got back from Chalk from brain surgery and she was

111
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: recovering and they put together a caravan. So there's all

112
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: these cars going by with balloons and we we were

113
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: on our we had about twenty motorcycles that went by her.

114
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: Um and you just you can't stop and hug anybody

115
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: or say anything, or you know, you can't get too close.

116
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: You got to wear the mask. And I don't know that.

117
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: I think that's a huge one. Is just not being

118
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: able to walk up and go, hey, give me that hug.

119
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: That is a tough one. What about you, Frank, What

00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: do you miss? The moss Covid nineteens taken over. I

121
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: missed just hanging out, hanging out in the backyard, hanging

122
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: out with friends, barbecue and just chilling. And I finally

123
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: finished up the spiding career. I finally retired. I got

124
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: all this time in the world, and now I got

125
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: nothing to do, I got not to do. I'm just

126
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: sitting with myself going, damn, it just did not work

127
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: out like I thought it was gonna work out at

128
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: the time, and nowhere to go, Hey, what about you, Joe?

129
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: I actually missed the most, you know, with me having

130
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: a five year old little boy and a seven year

131
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: old girl, we're always doing something on the weekend sports

132
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: wise with them, and both of their baseball has gotten stopped,

133
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: the basketball stop, so it just sucked not being able

134
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: to go to these games. And these games are you know,

135
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: they do more than just me being able to watch

136
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: my kids play. I get to see their my kids friends,

137
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: and we're friends with the kids parents, so it's like

138
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: all in one. I get to hang out with these

139
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: guys that I go golfing with now and bs with

140
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: around the neighborhood. So it's that camaraderie of doing things

141
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: with my kids that I found that I missed the

142
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: most because you know, I can hang out with the

143
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: guys and still hang out with the kids and watch

144
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: them have a great time and watch them play sports.

145
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: They're just gonna start doing some more jiu jitsu. We

146
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,200

00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: we'll see how that works out. But uh, it's always good.

152

Speaker 1: get on his ask because I didn't know he lived

155
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: in l A. That's bullshit. It's Frank Shamone. Welcome back

156
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: to Cannabis Talk one on one. On the show today,

157
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: we got a special guest with us, Frank the Legend Shamrock.

158
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: He was the first to hold the UFC Middleweight Championship

159
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: and retire a four time defending undefeated champion. Now, Shamrock

160
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: was number one ranked pound for pound UFC fighter in

161
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: the world during his reign as the UFC middleweight champion

162
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: Frank just recently said in an article from the Growth

163
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Up magazine or online maggot, it was that I read

164
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: it is I just found cannabis was a wonderful pain reliever,

165
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: and he used it his entire sports career. All of

166
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: the world championship titles, everything that he achieved, he used

167
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: cannabis on a daily basis. And it's crazy, Frank, to

168
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: you to say this and barely come out now with

169
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: it recently, because I'm thinking what a burden that must

170
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: have been for you to not be able to preach

171
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: this gospel at the time when you're looking at this

172
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: as medicine and people would arrest you for it at

173
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: the time if you would have been saying it. Yeah, totally,

174
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was a total bummer. And

175
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: then I had to you know, back then, the only

176
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: test was like cocaine and cannabis, and you had to

177
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: make sure you weren't on either of those. So, you know,

178
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: the last two weeks would be horrid before a championship

179
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: fight because I couldn't consume my medicine. But I took

180
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: it every day morning, noon, and night. It was it

181
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: was the only thing I took cannabis and ice, uh,

182
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: throughout my entire career. And you know everyone says it's

183
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, make you lazy, it'll uh, you know, drag

184
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: you down. For me, it was a performance enhancer and

185
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: it was a way to completely relax and just you know,

186
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: get rid of the pain. Riding in a cage is

187
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: very painful, very painful. Oh yeah. I mean whenever I

188
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: watch it, every time there's a strike thrown or a punch,

189
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, how that's got to hurt the calf. Calf kicks,

190
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: the calf kicks, Like, that's got to hurt. Why come

191
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: out of the closet now, why come out of the

192
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: green closet? Now? What's the feeling from you? Well, I

193
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: really started talking about it when it was legalized in California,

194
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: and it was really you know, it was a whole

195
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: team decision because at the time I was a broadcaster

196
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: for Showtime and I worked for CBS as a presenter, um,

197
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, a professional spokesman. So my job is to

198
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: bring products to market, you know, help change ideas, and

199
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: so it was a very big decision to make. But

200
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: we were only able to do it really because it

201
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: was then legal and was when we felt like it

202
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: was the right time. It was something I wanted to

203
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: talk about at all times. But also I was a

204
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: martial arts instructor for twenty years, and you know, martial

205
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: arts is a very family oriented community where if something

206
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: is illegal, you don't do it, and so I was

207
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: definitely torn between two worlds. But you know, by far,

208
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: it's a better medicine than all the medicines they give

209
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: you as a sports athlete. And then if you look

210
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: at the science now, it's just ridiculous. You know, it's

211
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: proven neuroprotective. Every football player should be taking this, Every

212
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: contact sport athlete should be taking this because it's a

213
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: better medicine than what's out there and currently available and

214
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: it's all natural. Frank, what were you using? Frank? Being

215
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: in the in the in the ring, who who do

216
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: you feel was your your your hardest competitor that you've

217
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: ever had to to to fight in the ring? Uh?

218
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: It changed depending on the you know, the moment, but

219
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: the biggest and the toughest was when I fought a

220
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 1: Warties because he was just the next level Yeah, the

221
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: next level guy. I mean he's like six two. You know,

222
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: it's like to forty. I'm five ten, you know, hundred

223
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: ninety pounds. So he was just the next level of

224
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: human being. And when you're a professional athlete, you know,

225
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: the size of volume, the mass, you know, all that

226
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: stuff matters a lot. And he, you know, he put

227
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: a beating on me. I ended up winning, but he

228
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: was the toughest physical confrontation I ever had. You seems

229
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: like you can take many punches. I was, you know,

230
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: I was doing research on you last night, Frank, and

231
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: I was reading stuff, and then I went to the

232
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: YouTube and I swear to god, I don't know how

233
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: many different times, but the taunting guys punching you in

234
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: the face and you laughing at him, just laughing at him.

235
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: I was just like, what now, Now, I do have

236
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: a question about the cannabis use. When you were using it,

237
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: what were you using a combination of CBD, TH HC,

238
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: How were you consuming it? What was the best way

239
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: for you? Can you talk about that a little bit? Yeah,

240
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: for sure. Well, I really liked edibles as sort of

241
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: a nighttime experience or a Sunday experience, because the train

242
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: six days a week, you know, it's Monday through Saturday.

243
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: For a night for sixteen years, and so Sunday was

244
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: sort of my day off. So Sunday was edible day,

245
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: relaxed day, travel days. If I had to travel flight

246
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: to Japan, I would use edibles. But all else it

247
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,479
Speaker 1: was just pure smoking because it's the fastest, most convenient,

248
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: most functional way to consume and it it uh delivers

249
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: the medicine the quickest. And and what's funny is I

250
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: was known for my cardiovascular endurance and I could outlast

251
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: anybody else and the whole time I was smoking. Um,

252
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: so it was just for me. I would the O

253
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: G S, the Purple Lease, those things get rid of

254
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: my pain, you know, and I had had, Yeah, I

255
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: had really bad back pain for years and years. It's

256
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: so unfortunate that it's falling on deaf ears at the

257
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: federal level. It's just so falling on deaf ears. All

258
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: the great things that this plant can do. One thing

259
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask, is you retired in two correct? Yes?

260
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: And what you were thirty eight thirty eight? I mean,

261
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: how do you believe that the cannabis use all those

262
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: years allowed you to extend your your run at this sport?

263
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I know as the years went in, I

264
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: mean I think I've reading a quote from me today.

265
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: At some point in time, you're just you know, physically,

266
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: your mind's there. I'm a champion, but it just isn't

267
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: gonna work. Do you think the cannabis helped you go

268
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: that long? Absolutely? Absolutely, because besides the pain, a great

269
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: pain management tool that wasn't addictive, it was a great

270
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: psychological relaxing. You know, it's a great way. Absolutely. We

271
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: are here with Frank the Legend Shamrocks. He is a

272
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: retired four time defending undefeated UFC middleweight champion. Frank, sorry

273
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: to cut you off, big brother, but I wanted to

274
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: ask you about the Barony fight because that was one

275
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: of the fights that that that I was watching, and

276
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: that guy wanted wanted you. I mean there was and

277
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: I think you wanted him to and the first round

278
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: you pretty much almost had him. Can you talk about

279
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: that first round of that fight? Yeah? Well, the funny

280
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: part is the lead up to that fight was two

281
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: weeks before that fight, I blew my knee out, my

282
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: left knee all the tendons m C L A c

283
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: L P c L and I was in an electric wheelchair,

284
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: and I knew I had to fight because This was

285
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: a big moment for Showtime. It was a big moment

286
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: for my brand. I had been disqualified in my previous fight,

287
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: and so it was like a big brand moment where

288
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: I knew I had to show up, and so I

289
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: showed up, you know, hurt. But the way to be

290
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Phil was psychologically. I got in his head and I

291
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: picked on him, and I made fun of him, and

292
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, basically teased him. I know, I teased him

293
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: into being, yeah, and being and being angry and sort

294
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: of losing his focus. And then, you know, the thing

295
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: with Phil was when he lost his focus and he

296
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: got angry, he got tight and you could see the

297
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: punches coming. So I knew I could outstrike him if

298
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: I kept him on that psychological edge. And yeah, I

299
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: lit him up. I even called like I did the

300
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: sleeper move, and you know, I thought for certain he

301
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: would fall down at that. But every time he went

302
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: to punch, I could see it because he was so

303
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: upset and he was so tense, and right as soon

304
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: as he would find I would just blast him right

305
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: on the chin. And I thought for certain he was

306
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: finished in that first round, but he did come back

307
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: to life and and and fight until the second, but

308
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: you finish going back to cannabis. Oh, Mark, uh, Frank,

309
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: if you could turn on your phone too, so we

310
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: could hear you on the zoom and get that as

311
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: a recording as well, So just mute that. But going

312
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: back to cannabis too, and you're fighting. How did you

313
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: learn to balance as far as you said you did

314
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: edibles at night? Like, did you know to do edibles

315
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: at night? What gave you that sense? And who taught

316
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: you how to use the cannabis for the best results?

317
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: Just just trial and error. You know, it wasn't something

318
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: we really talked about in the culture, different different countries. Uh,

319
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: you know, you mean Javier Mendez didn't say here, didn't No, No,

320
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: they all thought I was crazy and they didn't understand,

321
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, what I was doing or why I was

322
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: doing it. But I was performing well, so they didn't

323
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: stop me, and no one really said, you know, don't

324
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: do it. But you know everyone else was taking Viking

325
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: in and you know, Perkas said, and they were taking

326
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: all these other pills. When I took those, I felt terrible.

327
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: I didn't sleep good, my body felt heavy. You know,

328
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm dry when I smell cannabis, you know, I would,

329
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: I would wake up, I feel amazing, and so I

330
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: just threw trial and air. I realized that this was

331
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: a better medicine. All I need is ice and cannabis

332
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: and my body will do anything. You know, what I

333
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: think is great and we'll keep it on the subject

334
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: of cannabis. Is the fact that I read that you

335
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: don't use cannabis any longer, or at least as of

336
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: the data that article, because you started the meditation, you

337
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: got therapy for all those for the back injury and

338
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: the back problems, and you stopped using annabis because you

339
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: didn't need it for the pain any longer. Does that

340
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: still hold true? Yeah, yeah, I stopped using it. She's

341
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: been almost a year now because about yeah, yeah, Well

342
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: what happened was, you know, since I was sixteen, I

343
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: had back pain because I got a spondee in my

344
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: spines and one of my little vertebrates is broken. And

345
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: I fell off a roof jumping off. It was that

346
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: jumping off or falling off a two. I fell because

347
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: I was actually reaching to grab this oak tree branch

348
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: and the wind blew as soon as I grabbed it,

349
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: so it's sort of pulled me. It sort of pulled

350
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: me off the roof and then I fell two stories

351
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: on my back. And you know, one of the rules

352
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: in our house was you don't get on the roof.

353
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: So I didn't tell anybody, but for my for my

354
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: entire sports car, I had this terrible pain in my

355
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: lower back, like sciatica pain. And I would be kicking

356
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: everyone's ass in the gym and all of a sudden,

357
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: my back would go out and I'd fall over and

358
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: I'd have to go to the doctor and get it fixed. Yeah,

359
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: it was really bad, and so I searched for twenty

360
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: plus years to find the doctor to fix and I

361
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: finally found one right here in Beverly Hills, Dennis uh Colonello,

362
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: and he fixed my back. And so one day I

363
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: woke up and I had no back pain. So I

364
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: was like, a wait, about surgery without surgery? Yeah, So

365
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: then I was at the point. But the point I

366
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: wanted to bring up was that and it's awesome because

367
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: you're out of the green closet. My brother and I

368
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: advocate this all the time, that you can be successful

369
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: rechanging the definition and the stereotype of the words stoner.

370
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: And the fact is huge, this is that this is

371
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: a huge exclamation point. It's not addictive for you to

372
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: be able to smoke for all those years, thirty years,

373
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: thirty or whatever, twenty five years and no how you

374
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: can stop because you don't need it. You found another

375
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: way to manage your pain and get healthy. I mean,

376
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: it's just crazy. It's not addictive and everybody needs to

377
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: know that. Frank, you know, uh, do you still work

378
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 1: Are you still working out? How are you keeping your

379
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: fitness and um, you know things like that. Yeah, I

380
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: still work out, but now it's all sort of outside natural.

381
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: We hike, we ride bikes, we you know, go rock climbing.

382
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: It's pretty much a natural experience because I spent you know,

383
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: twenty plus years in the gym at the highest level.

384
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: So we we use nature. And that's one of the

385
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: good things about the quarantine, if there are some good things.

386
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: I get to spend tremendous amount of time with my

387
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: daughter and every night, you know, we're two hours out

388
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: in nature doing you know, physical activity, spending as you're

389
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: on these walk freak and doing all these things. Now

390
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: that you're retired, do you ever reflect back to your career.

391
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to mention when you and

392
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: I went to Brazil when I carried the belts and

393
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: that which probably your highlight as well as mine. But

394
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: you always point well I did do that. For those

395
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: who don't know, you've been every in the interview, you've

396
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: done everything. Well, yeah, it was just a great time

397
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: and a great experience that we shared together. And I

398
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: always thank you for allowing me to go on that

399
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: trip with you for that fight. But as you reflect

400
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: now that you're retired, do you look back and think

401
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: who was it better to fight for? Data White, Scott

402
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: Coker when you retired came back, What do you look

403
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: at and what do you think of when you think

404
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: of those different entities that you fought with. Well, for me,

405
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: it's not even so much the entities. I mean I

406
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: loved fighting for Scott and the UFC, they all were great,

407
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: But for me, it was the performances themselves, because each

408
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: one was like a personal, you know, journey each you know.

409
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Fighting Tito, I mean he was a monster. I mean

410
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: even my own brother was like, don't fight him, he's

411
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: gonna crush you. Well that was my brother. So I

412
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: only fought him once and then my brother can fought

413
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: him three times. Um, and he beat He beat can

414
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: all three times, but I beat him, so it's just

415
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: And then when I fought fail like I've blown my

416
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: knee out. And so you know, everybody, even my doctors,

417
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: like there's no way you can do this. So for me,

418
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: it was a huge spiritual and personal experience to be

419
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: able to meditate, be able to call myself, to be

420
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: able to go no, I have to do this from

421
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: my career, for my brand, for the sport, and then

422
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: to walk in there when you know, basically it was

423
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: impossible to win and to find a way to win.

424
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: And so when you come out of moments like that,

425
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: from personal experiences like that, that's what I when I'm

426
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: walking down you know, when I'm hiking, that's what I

427
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: think about, is how on earth, you know, did I

428
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: do that? But everybody has that power to sort of

429
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: reach deep inside to do what they think is impossible,

430
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: to sort of overcome these things. And now, I mean,

431
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's certainly paid off. I'm you know, spending

432
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: my days in leisure, hiking in the forest with my

433
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: little girl, enjoying the good life. We're here with Frank

434
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: the Legend Shamrock, one bad motherfucker like Joe said retired

435
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: four time defending undefeated champion. Man. It's it's a pleasure

436
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: to have you here. And I want to talk a

437
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: little about your childhood because you had a pretty rough

438
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: childhood uh coming up, and that's kind of what led

439
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: you to uh fighting uh in the ring, as I

440
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: understand that you didn't do too much fighting outside of

441
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: it when you were younger, although you got into a

442
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: lot of maybe in jail. I got I got a

443
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: couple of beefs when I was in jail. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

444
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: I had had a tough childhood and I grew up

445
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: in a broken home and an abusive home. Um you know,

446
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: addiction issues, with all kinds of issues. Um. But and

447
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: I found a way out when I was eleven years

448
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: old that threw rocks at a train and that got

449
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: me sent to juvenile hall. Throwing rocks at a train

450
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: in California is actually a felony, and so it they

451
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: took me from my home. I ended up doing ten

452
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: days in juvenile hall. And when I was eleven years old,

453
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: I was talking all the bad kids and they were

454
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: telling I was like asking him, hey, how do you

455
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: how do you deal with this? Locking in the closet thing,

456
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: and you guys have to live in the backyard. And

457
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: as I'm saying these things, they're looking at me all horrified.

458
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: And I realized that my my childhood was not that good.

459
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: And so I found that crime was the tool that

460
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: took me out of that home. And I leaned in

461
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: the crime like you wouldn't believe, which worked out great

462
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: until I ended up in prison when I was seventeen.

463
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,479
Speaker 1: And then I ended up doing a good, good stretch

464
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: of time. I did three and a half years from

465
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty one, and then you know, I just

466
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: I found a mentor while I was in that group

467
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: home system, Bob Shamrock, and Bob Shamrock, you know, gave

468
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: me great advice. He was my first father figure. He

469
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: told me to invest in my body, my mind and

470
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: my spirit and you know, to keep training basically. And

471
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: when I got out, you know, this sport had just started.

472
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: And you know, my dream was always to be a champion,

473
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: a sports champion. So even though I was afraid to fight,

474
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: even though you know, made me very nervous to be

475
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: in a situation like that, um, I had the machine

476
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: for it, and I had the faith, and I went

477
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: for it. How did you feel about Yeah, Bob did that.

478
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: He would be so mad at me, but his whole

479
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: thing was and this is one of the things that

480
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: kept me in it is you know, he said, Hey,

481
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: as long as you're doing your stuff, long as you

482
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: take care of your business, I don't care what you do. Yeah.

483
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,239
Speaker 1: I get parents call me up that no I use

484
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: weed or smoke cannabis, and they say, oh, my seventeen

485
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: year old or eight tieen and wants to smoke. And

486
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, tell him exactly what you

487
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: just said is what I tell people. If they're doing

488
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: everything they're supposed to be doing, what's the problem. And

489
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: when people say cannabis makes you lazy, we say, no,

490
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: you're a lazy ass who uses cannabis your art. Cannabis

491
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: does not make him lazy. And we have an example

492
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: right here that shows that, I mean, couldn't be. All

493
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: of you guys are examples. You and your brother as well, Craig.

494
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: I mean, don't just give Frank the credit for being

495
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: an athlete. For sure, as they're very successful lawyers. He's

496
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: a very successful CEO of his company. All three of

497
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: you guys are examples of Stoner's at the peak of

498
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: their stone age aides and being very successful. Well, guys,

499
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: we're listening to Frank Shamrock, actually the original Rock, the

500
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: legend Shamrock right, weighing in at what is it? Two

501
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: oh five? Standing five ten? I wish I wish six

502
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: pounds and uh, but we never told anybody that. We

503
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: just let him think that was a lot bigger. But

504
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm actlutely about a hundred pounds or so. Well, a

505
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: lot of the guys you bought look looked a lot

506
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: bigger than you, and you just they were. Yeah. But

507
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: when I started, there was no weight classes, Like I

508
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: was the first weight class champion, and that weight class

509
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: was one point nine nine and below, So every single

510
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: human being was bigger than me. I used to eat

511
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: a full meal every night when I went to bed

512
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: because it was the only way to maintain the weight

513
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: and give me crazy dreams like I had the crazy

514
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: a little eat a little crazy dream all night and

515
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: then wake up. Frank, UFC just had a fight with

516
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: no fighters. I've had a few. Now I'm wondering, would

517
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: you partake in something like that or what are your

518
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: thoughts on it? You know that the UFC is actually

519
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: doing it. How tough would it be mentally for the

520
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: fighter or doesn't even even play a factor. Well, what's

521
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: funny is because I started in Japan and back in

522
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: the nineties, the crowd didn't cheers. It wasn't it wasn't

523
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: socially cool. You didn't cheer, You didn't express yourself, you know,

524
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: verbally in a social setting unless you had an intimate

525
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: connection with someone personally, so they would just politely applause

526
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: and oh h. And so what's amazing about it is

527
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: you actually get to hear your corner and depth. And

528
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: the hardest part for me being a rock star is

529
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: to go out have this, you know, fifty thousand people

530
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: screaming and you're trying to hear your corner. So it's

531
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: actually be a huge bonus as a as an athlete

532
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: competing right now to not have it was interesting listening

533
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: to the corner. You could hear everything. It was awesome. Yeah, yeah,

534
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: I would prefer it because that's all I'm trying to

535
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: do is filter out my wife's screams and then here

536
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: the corner man tell me what to do. Frank, you

537
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: mentioned that you you were scared to fight that very

538
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: first time you fought professionally. How was that? How did

539
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: you prefer prepare yourself? And how did you get through

540
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: the fears you might have had going in? I was

541
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: very afraid and I had lots of meditation. Luck, I

542
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: had all that time in prison to sort of make

543
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: up my mind and you know, sort of decide like

544
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: I have to have to go do this. Um And

545
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: for me it was even scarier because I went to

546
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: Japan for my first fight, and I went to Japan

547
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: for two months to finish my training. So I went

548
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: from fulsome prison to shin Yokohama, Japan and lived there

549
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: for two months while on parole and finished my training.

550
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: So it was terrifying. It was literally terrifying, I would

551
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: say that in Japan. Yeah, well, back in the day,

552
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: it was the only place you could be employed, and

553
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: so we we were able to prove that it was

554
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: gameful employment only available in this certain area, and I

555
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: had to go or it was a disadvantage to me.

556
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: Freak the legend share Rock. What fighters are you enjoyed

557
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: watching now? Do any of them remind you of yourself? Um? Well,

558
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: Henry Suta reminds me of me because he looks exactly

559
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: like me. Love my little brother your Everyone says he

560
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: might be my son, he might be my little brother.

561
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: I really like, I liked what the girls are doing,

562
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: you know. I like the old school guys that like

563
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: John Jones, Um. You know, I see I see a

564
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: little bit of me and all of them. Because I

565
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: was the first, you know, complete mixed martial arts guy.

566
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: I was the first guy to really, like Bruce Lee saw,

567
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, thought to create a system and then to

568
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: use that system effectively so there's no weaknesses. So when

569
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: I watched them today, I'm like, I remember when we

570
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: figured that one out, and I remember when we tied

571
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: that together, and back in the day, I could see

572
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: the spaces between the styles. And that's how I set

573
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: all those records and beat all those guys, is you know,

574
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: their minds were stuck in one area because I was

575
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: studying so much. Because I was trying to connect all

576
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: the styles, I could see where the things didn't connect

577
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: and where there was weaknesses. It's a trip that you

578
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: say that, because I was mentioning that to the guys

579
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: and thinking about your history and following you early on

580
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: in your career how you did bring it all together right,

581
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: So you're kind of the as this Michael Jordan's special

582
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: was out the Last Dance, You're kind of the Michael

583
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: Jordan's of the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts in my opinion,

584
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 1: because like you said, you brought it all together. So

585
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: that'll be said if we do because I think I'm

586
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: gonna produce this now that I just think about it,

587
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna do the Frank Shamrock Last Dance. What would

588
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: you call yours instead of the Last Dance? What would

589
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: Frank the Legend Shamrocks Special beyond ESPN? What would you

590
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: call it? Um? I would call it, uh, something to

591
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: do with warriors like warriors path or journey or something

592
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: to do with warriors and warriors path and journey. Frank,

593
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: what he put together, I mean, Michael Jordan was great,

594
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but I gotta put Frank above that.

595
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: As far as putting together I mean several. I mean

596
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: all these different styles, ground and pound, stand up strike.

597
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: I mean, everything he put together is something that didn't exist.

598
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan may have taken basketball to another level, may

599
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: be able to see things on the court, blah blah blah,

600
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: but he didn't put together a complete system that would

601
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: go on to decimate everybody in his path. So props

602
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 1: to you. And and you're doing cannabis. So in between

603
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: when you're putting all this together, let's bring it back

604
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: to cannabis, when you're putting on, when you're doing all

605
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: this and thinking how do I put this with that

606
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: and how do I you know, these combinations in these

607
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: different styles you were you were using cannabis, correct, totally,

608
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Yeah. And I know for a fact that

609
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: being in a very relaxed state of mind, you know,

610
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: not being in pain, um, you know, not having certain fears, uh,

611
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, feeling a certain way. I know for a

612
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: fact that those those are some of the things that

613
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: helped me, you know, envision what hadn't been seen yet,

614
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, to help finish the system and create the

615
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: system because everyone else, as you know, stoned out of

616
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: their mind on you know, her caocets and they can't

617
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: feel anything, you know, basically their body is dead. Um

618
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I feel good and my mind is

619
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: still very active, and my mind is still very creative,

620
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: and it was a very creative process to come up

621
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: with this stuff. It's also terrifying when you're the guy

622
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: coming up with the system because there's nobody to ask,

623
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: there's nobody that knows, and I knew that nobody can't.

624
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: Then there's no wrong way. But it's usually you know,

625
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: your coach can guide you, and your coach you know,

626
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: hey do this. But I realized my coaches didn't know it,

627
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: and so it was up to me to sort of

628
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: come up with the strategies and come up with the systems.

629
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, that's terrifying. It's imagine

630
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: going to war and and as a soldier, you're making

631
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: all the decisions. And that's how it was for me. Sure, Frank,

632
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. You know, what do you

633
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: what do you think about the UFC two part questions.

634
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: Do you think the the UFC is is leaning towards

635
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: the cannabis used for their for their fighters and to

636
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: is the UFC going right now? And are you happy

637
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: with where they're where they're headed, you know as far

638
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: as from when you were in Yeah, they're definitely moving

639
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: towards you know, a cannabis friendly um environment because you know,

640
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: they see the results. Everybody's using you know, CBD, everybody's

641
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: using oils. People are figuring out that it does protect

642
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: your brain and you can help protect your brain. Um.

643
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: So they're definitely getting more friendly about it. But really

644
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: that's up to the commissions, and that's up to you know,

645
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: the people that sort of oversee that testing side. Um.

646
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: You know, I and I love where the sport is at,

647
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: like my dream. I mean, I was the first spokesman.

648
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: So my job was to get us on cable. My

649
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: job was to get us on network. My job was

650
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: to grow this thing until it was on ESPN. So

651
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: when I see it on ESPN now it's like, you know,

652
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 1: we made it. You know, this is where we're supposed

653
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: to be because it's it's one of the most exciting

654
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: and interesting sports. And for me, you know, I didn't

655
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: I didn't play on teams. It was me and my

656
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: coaches you know, against the other their side. Um. So

657
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: there's something very special about singular competition and what that

658
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: does for the human spirit and what you see when

659
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: that happens, you know, for the individual and then for

660
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: the crowd as well. And like you said, you took

661
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: it to the next level as they had used to. Guys,

662
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: Let's let me ask one more question here, one more

663
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: question from me. Would you it would be kind of funny, though,

664
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: do you think they'd ever ban it because it's it's

665
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: enhancing you as you know, like other steroids things like that.

666
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: It's like they're gonna say, wait, it's not fair because

667
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: you're you're taking cannabis and I'm not well that if

668
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: they were smart, they'd figure that out. But I don't

669
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: think they're ever gonna even get to that mindset. For me,

670
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: it was a total enhancer. Like for me, it was

671
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: a secret weapon because every night I slept good, I

672
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: wasn't in pain, I could train longer, I could, you know,

673
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: think better, I could think more creatively. So yeah, I

674
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: mean there's certainly in our argument that could be said

675
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: for that. Well, guys, you're listening to I Heart Radio

676

00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: How old are you the first time you smoked? And

706
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: where did you get it from? I think I was

707
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 1: about nine or ten years old, and it was from

708
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: my neighbor across the way. He had a little brother. Uh,

709
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: there was an older brother, and the older brother smoked

710
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: and I knew the smell from my My mom was

711
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: like a hippie, So I knew the smell and so

712
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: hit me and the younger brother went into his tin

713
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: speed zip open pouch. We found some green and we

714
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: smoked it. I remember the first time. Yeah, it probably

715
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: was ten have as about Ten's what I think you've

716
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: already answered this. But what is your favorite way to

717
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: use cannabis? For me? Smoking? Smoking is the best. That's

718
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: the fastest delivery source. It's the easiest, most functional and

719
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: works the best for me because I got pain and

720
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: I need it gone like immediately. Is a joint, a pipe,

721
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 1: a bong, which way? Whatever, whatever's closest. Yeah, whatever gets

722
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,959
Speaker 1: near the hand. Question number three of the High Five

Speaker 1: mean but why why? What is your reason for Bob?

750
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: Of course you could have many, but what is your

751
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: reason for Bob Marley? Well? I think he used the

752
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: medicine in a very spiritual way and it enhanced sort

753
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: of his music and his life. And to him it was, uh,

754
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, his medicine part of his religious culture. And

755
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: to me, that's where this started from. You know, ewns ago.

756
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: You know, some some guys wearing skins were running around

757
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: and they found this medicine and they realized it was

758
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: good for them, and so they started incorporating it into

759
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: their culture, into their lifestyle, into their medicines. Before we

760
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: wrap up to I want to ask you one more question.

761
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: Is there anybody out there that you would not regret

762
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: but say, you know what, I want to get your

763

Speaker 1: ass in the ring one more time. I know I retired,

764
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: I know you're retired, but let's just you know, ground

765
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: and pound for a minute. I still want to give

766
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: you a couple of punches. The only guy that I

767
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: didn't get to with with soccer Raba in Japan, and

768
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: that just you know, too many players were in the way.

769
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: And then and then my brother Ken like him and

770
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 1: I had be for years. We were going to work

771
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: it out, and then that fell apart as well. So

772
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: as I look back, you know, we grew up fighting.

773
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: We grew up in a culture where if you had

774
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: a beef, you dealt with it and then you hugged

775
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: it out. And so you know that the moment and

776
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: your brother said it best, and that special. I love

777
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: the special by the way on Spike TV with you

778
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: and your brother in the whole meeting up and stuff

779
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: like families fight for free all time every day, keep

780
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: each other. Mark and Craig. You can hear them fighting

781
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: outside their office on a daily basis to let him

782
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: get some money for it. For God's sakes, we're gonna

783
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: charge you next time, Joe, what are you watching and

784
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: eating popcorn? And one more thing that that we do

785
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: have to do, Joe, and you mentioned it at the

786
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 1: beginning of the show. Our script and something that we

787
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: we like to leave with our guests and and do

788
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: you even know it? You know, Frank, do you know

789
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: what me and my brother teach people across the country

790
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: about dealing with law enforcement? To shut the funk up? Right? Ultimately,

791
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: that's right the commately, that's the takeaway. But our script

792
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: is a simple twenty five words, and we like to

793
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: make sure everybody knows it. So me and my big

794
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: brother will do the daily script review. Ready, big brother,

795
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: do it all right? What do you say when the

796
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: cops first pull you over? Why did you pull me over? Sir?

797
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: And when they start asking questions, not discussing my day

798
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: or evening, and and they keep asking more questions my

799
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: being detained or am I free to go? And if detained,

800
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: what do you say? I invoked the fifth And then

801
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: when they get in your face and intimidate you, try

802
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: to scare you and lie to you and say whatever

803
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: they want and ask you more questions, what do you do?

804
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: I shut the funk up, shut the funk up, and

805
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: ultimately shut the funk up and cops asked questions. So, Frank,

806
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: we teach that just across the country. What do you

807
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 1: think about that? I love it because I've always dreaded

808
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: that day when they would pull me over and be like,

809
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: why does your car smell like a bunch of cannabis?

810
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: Disgusting my day? And Frank, you know what, We've actually

811
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: created this poem that if Joe, if Frank the Legend

812
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: wants to hear it, I might have to hold on,

813
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: hold on just wants the Hey guys leave a comment below,

814
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, hey, I don't want Frank the

815
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: Legend punched me in the face, but I'll be draft

816
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 1: Frank well, as much as I hate doing it. Here

817
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: you go. Am I being detained? Or am I free

818
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: to go? This is what to say, my lawyer tells me.

819
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: So the cops are out there doing a job. Sometimes

820
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: they must contain a mob, a thankless job that saves

821
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: many lives. At their home are worried children, husbands and wives.

822
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: But does that give them the right to stomp on

823
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: my rights? So we are here for you, the cannabis community,

824
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: to fight to let you know it's okay to just

825
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 1: shut the funk up. When cops asked questions, you start

826
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: with I'm not discussing my day, and with I invoked

827
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: the Fifth These ain't suggestions, These are words to live by,

828
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: to memorize. See it's not about the size of that

829
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: cops gun because they want you to run so they

830
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,479
Speaker 1: can pull that macho gun and shoot you for fleeing

831
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: the scene. Some cops are just playing mean. We must

832
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: shut it off, shut it down. Those feelings of anger

833
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: that instantly come around when that cop has to show

834
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: his power and his might without cause, without reason, and

835
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: we know they're not right. We must remain calm, keep

836
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,240
Speaker 1: the devil sleeping on the left shoulder. We must be cold,

837
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: even colder. Ice must flow through your veins to shut

838
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: that heat, the blood that rusts your brain straight from

839
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: your feet. When that cop disrespected you because you wouldn't

840
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: tell him what that smell was, and he acchooses you

841
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: of a pot d ui because he absolutely knows that's

842
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: your buzz. But see, they can't tell, and they don't

843
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: know only if you tell them. So. Oh, officer, I

844
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: spoke to join a few hours ago. Officer, here's my

845
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,959
Speaker 1: medical rest. Officer, I'm a marijuana patient. We live in America.

846
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: Prohibition still exists. That cops gonna do whatever he's gonna do,

847
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: arrest you. Give us a chance to represent you with

848
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: the defense that's blazing. Let us show you in court.

849
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: We're amazing, but we can only do that if you

850
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: listen to our tips. Now, let me see you move

851
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 1: your lips. You know the drill. When the cops ask questions,

852
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 1: we say, I'm not discussing my day. Am I being detained?

853
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: Or am I free to go? I invoked the fifth

854
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: and then you shut up. I gotta say that what

855
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: I was gonna say. We have given you the script.

856
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 1: We are telling you what to say, we are telling

857
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: you what to do. We've put your hands up in

858
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: protection mode. But should you take a shot to the jaw,

859
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: we will be fighting for the cannabis community because we

860
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: are the pop Brothers. So before I forget, this is

861
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: big brother, and I'm gonna say, I'm gonna get the

862
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: last question in um, but I can't remember it now

863
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: because that was too fucking long. Actually, what we have

864
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: we have a twist to the script during the coronavirus.

865
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: And imagine in your lifetime that you would ever be

866
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: able when you get pulled over to tell the officer

867
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: when he asked you. This is the only time in

868
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: the history of the script that you go off script

869
00:45:58,400 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: when you say, I'm not discussing my day, and that

870
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: all you say. You don't say nothing else, You don't

871
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: answer any questions. But if they ask you, oh, just shutdown.

872
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: Order what do you cut? What are you out for?

873
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: You can actually say I'm gonna go buy Mike cannabis.

874
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: It's essential. Imagine telling the cop I'm going to buy weed.

875
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: I think it's great. Joe, what do you think you

876
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: guys talk too much? I think it's talk. I wanted

877
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: Frank your thoughts. Mark Washington's poem that he gives his

878
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: brother credit for because he says pop brothers a law.

879
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: But that's all Mark Washingman. I liked it. It was good.

880
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: Maybe we can turn into a rapp or something. Well, Frank,
