Speaker 1: Hanging with the faces betting on the game. No Oman's
Speaker 1: gonna tell us not be. We're here just drinking. Be
Speaker 1: make nano baby, I'm hanging with the fillers, Busting with
Speaker 1: the Boys.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 3: There it is.
Speaker 1: We are rolling. Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to another episode
Speaker 1: of Busting with the Boys. It is episode two fifty one.
Speaker 1: You're seeing the bags under the eyes, you're hearing the
Speaker 1: drawing the voice, and that is because the boys just
Speaker 1: got back from Vegas. It was an electric time. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that. We're gonnait the weekend recap. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have a twisted question of the week. We have
Speaker 1: the poopiest moment because we all know the algorithm. In
Speaker 1: the first five minutes, we got big time merch big,
Speaker 1: big time giveaway opportunities. As we approach the inevitable Black
Speaker 1: Friday season, it is a time for you to take
Speaker 1: advantage of insane deals and we are going to incentivize
Speaker 1: all of you with a couple of tears for you
Speaker 1: to enter it a chance to win some pretty amazing stuff.
Speaker 1: And for the first time ever in the history of
Speaker 1: Busting with the Boys, there will actually be a god take.
Speaker 1: We'll have our direct take Overly Direct Take Direct TV
Speaker 1: overly Direct Take. That was tough to read right there
Speaker 1: for a second, but let's get right into it. But
Speaker 1: before we do that, we're going to talk about the
Speaker 1: presenting sponsor of this show, the most durable, reliable vehicle
Speaker 1: on the road. That is the Chevy Silverado and the
Speaker 1: Chevy z R two family. It's the first family of
Speaker 1: Silverado's of the make and model that have a full fleet,
Speaker 1: a full line for you. They got the ZR two.
Speaker 1: I believe they have a diesel. They have a bunch
Speaker 1: of vehicles that look incredible to Chevy Heavy Duty ZR
Speaker 1: two joins the franchise to make this Chevy ZR two
Speaker 1: the only truck brand with a full line of trucks
Speaker 1: ready for wherever your offered adventure takes you to. We've
Speaker 1: talked about the multimatic DSSV dampers, the rugged mud terrain tires,
Speaker 1: and up to fourteen camera views. We've talked about Will's
Speaker 1: vehicle that talked about how beautiful it looks, how sleek,
Speaker 1: how it's a head turner. I got a king from
Speaker 1: the way I slept last night. Thank god he's not
Speaker 1: here today because my neck would hurt a lot more
Speaker 1: seeing that vehicle drive up and down the road. Dude,
Speaker 1: Chevy Chevy Silverado Zer two and wait and the Silverado
Speaker 1: hd Z two a family with commanding and unstoppable grit.
Speaker 1: Head over to Chevy dot com and check over Chevy,
Speaker 1: checkout Chevy Silverado and the Chevy Family of Chevy ZR
Speaker 1: two is the official truck of Busting with the Boys.
Speaker 1: Due the incredible partnership, incredible partnership that we have with Chevy,
Speaker 1: they have been great to us. They treat us well,
Speaker 1: They let us creatively figure out where we want to go.
Speaker 1: And the reason why I bring that up is because
Speaker 1: today you're going to be watching a legend of relationships,
Speaker 1: a legend in the marketing space, and that is Dana White.
Speaker 1: We were able to sit down with him for an
Speaker 1: hour and a half hour ten our fifteen and I
Speaker 1: saw a couple of tweets when I put out that
Speaker 1: we had Dana White on the episode, like if you
Speaker 1: get more than thirty minutes, you were winning, because that's
Speaker 1: usually how much he puts with people. Dana in the
Speaker 1: last year has become an individual to me that I truly,
Speaker 1: I truly love this man.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 1: I think he is like one of the best human
Speaker 1: beings I have ever met in my life, without a doubt,
Speaker 1: top three. But I will get into that at a
Speaker 1: different time. I want to talk to you guys about
Speaker 1: Black Friday, because that's the thing that's truly coming down
Speaker 1: the pipe. We we live in the barstool world, and
Speaker 1: you've seen the last couple of the last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks really just a week of the back and forth
Speaker 1: of Riggs getting salty, sending a tweet, Will doing a
Speaker 1: great job of handling it on the on the burdens
Speaker 1: he always does, and he goes on busting with the
Speaker 1: He goes on barstool Radio, has a conversation with Riggs.
Speaker 1: I think Riggs did a really good job of staying stoic. Hey,
Speaker 1: I thought it was lamb. I thought it was lame.
Speaker 1: He's being objective, He's not putting a lot of emotion in it.
Speaker 1: But you look at the texters obviously emotion he hands himself.
Speaker 1: Well there, now here's what I'll say to you. I
Speaker 1: would love for every single person in the world to
Speaker 1: spend a million dollars on Busting with the Boys gear.
Speaker 1: It helps us, It helps the boys it's incredible. But
Speaker 1: there's also so many great brands, so many phenomenal brands
Speaker 1: of different genres at the barstool world that when you
Speaker 1: are when you listen to the show and you are
Speaker 1: a Tier one, two or three and you want to
Speaker 1: get our merch, give them a look too. Go check
Speaker 1: that stuff out. Because team, team, team, that's what we
Speaker 1: preach here. That's why the boys in the back have
Speaker 1: the relationship they do with us. Am I, Mitch and
Speaker 1: Jack's boss. Technically, yes, yeah, I am a half owner
Speaker 1: of this business, but are we not fucking boys When
Speaker 1: we have to have the hard conversations. We have the
Speaker 1: hard conversations. Mitch got drunk on the job last week.
Speaker 1: Were we have to have that conversation, right? Sometimes Jack
Speaker 1: and I go at it over Tennessee and Michigan all that.
Speaker 1: There's back and forth. But that's the relationship you want
Speaker 1: to build, because that's what this podcast is all about,
Speaker 1: the locker room mentality, having the tough conversations, having good
Speaker 1: times with the boys, not keeping this ridiculous hierarchy that
Speaker 1: a lot of businesses like to do. Because in this world,
Speaker 1: when we all are motivated to pushing the wagon in
Speaker 1: one direction and it's gonna work out for everybody. And
Speaker 1: relationships are number one. You're gonna learn that when it
Speaker 1: comes to Dana White in this episode. Now, I want
Speaker 1: to pull this up real quick, so just give me,
Speaker 1: give me a hot second, because I think when we
Speaker 1: talk about selling merch and we talk about Okay, Will
Speaker 1: and Taylor were in the NFL for however many years,
Speaker 1: they've made this much money, why would I go and
Speaker 1: buy their stuff? Other than the fact that they have
Speaker 1: amazing stuff this year, where the heck is it? I'm
Speaker 1: looking for a text that will sent me because we
Speaker 1: talked about this. I'm pretty sure you guys know, but
Speaker 1: I need to see it.
Speaker 4: What's happening.
Speaker 1: It's about what's happening on giveaway, hitting numbers, all that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: text that to me real quick, because I want to
Speaker 1: make sure the boys. I want to make sure the
Speaker 1: boys and gals listening to the show have a better understanding.
Speaker 1: Oh God, you're gonna put it on that okay, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, it's up there. Huh yes, yes, there it is.
Speaker 1: Pop that little piece in there. Hello, la one, Oh
Speaker 1: it's where do you have me? And your name is Daddy?
Speaker 1: I mean I respect that. I mean, your text is Daddy,
Speaker 1: and then just got a text from Sun. Got it? Okay,
Speaker 1: So listen o boys, And I know that took a minute.
Speaker 1: That's probably it's probably frustrating. But when you look at
Speaker 1: Black Friday and Busting and the Barstool world, we know
Speaker 1: Dave Portnoy looks at this, he looks at how hard
Speaker 1: each brand goes, and so we have an understanding of that,
Speaker 1: and we also know it's a big, big opportunity for
Speaker 1: us to take Bust into the next level and expand
Speaker 1: more and more. So Black Friday, we're gonna have twenty
Speaker 1: percent off the entire store. So that's not just Busting,
Speaker 1: that's the entire store. I gave you the spiel about that,
Speaker 1: dude for the boys. Merch tea, merch, golf, merch, hunting, merch, hats, beanies, hoodies, teas,
Speaker 1: and new merch. You see the new merchant wearing right here.
Speaker 1: Shut out Barstool outdoor. We put a little camel on
Speaker 1: the thing. I hope everybody loves and respects it. We
Speaker 1: didn't reach out to them, but I hope they're okay
Speaker 1: with the fact that we are you using Camo stuff
Speaker 1: where we'll see this bustin University Dad sweaters. Dude, this
Speaker 1: this thing fires me up. This thing fires me up.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows me knows I love Dad Sweaters. That stuff
Speaker 1: is badass to me. And then obviously I'm gonna pop
Speaker 1: this on actually right now because I'm a big fan
Speaker 1: of this too. Beanies, when we say one size fits all,
Speaker 1: we truly mean it. Okay, your boys got I think
Speaker 1: seven and three as that's me right here, and we
Speaker 1: got a little room in there. We got that cozy
Speaker 1: boy season with the beanie going on.
Speaker 5: Mitchie.
Speaker 3: It fits me, so you know it.
Speaker 1: And if you follow me on Twitter, you see that
Speaker 1: he was wearing a hat this past week that was
Speaker 1: truly essentially being waterboarded for hats. He was going through hell.
Speaker 1: It was he was. It was like a it was
Speaker 1: an attack on that hat and it was it was
Speaker 1: making it. Also Stephen bond Ep you see his hat.
Speaker 1: He's got the Saint Louis Golden Arts the Arts thing
Speaker 1: going on his hat, his his hit damn head so
Speaker 1: fucking small that it's like I think it's on the
Speaker 1: last little thing. It's like, literally I've never seen someone
Speaker 1: wear a hat like that anyway. So this is. This
Speaker 1: is where we incentivize you thinking about not just me
Speaker 1: and will not just the brand of Bust with the Boys,
Speaker 1: the boys who work here, the production team, the boys
Speaker 1: sitting in the back of the bus, not just those two.
Speaker 1: That team is going to get twenty five percent of
Speaker 1: the sales for a bonus, twenty five percent of everything
Speaker 1: we sell Bust on Black Friday, I think the entire
Speaker 1: month of December, correct the month. Whatever you're getting twenty
Speaker 1: five percent, I'll have to offer see that. Also, every
Speaker 1: dollar over the target is getting split up and distributed
Speaker 1: to everyone at Barstool behind the camera. So that's not
Speaker 1: just Busting with the Boys, that's entire Barstool. I'll let
Speaker 1: Dave say what the number is. If we reach that number,
Speaker 1: barstool is happy, and now we give it to people
Speaker 1: that work endlessly. You see the boys in the back
Speaker 1: this fall, and I can just talk for these guys.
Speaker 1: This fall, we've stood up another show, so we're running.
Speaker 1: Busting with the Boys are our main flag. We go
Speaker 1: bet the bus that we film on Tuesdays, and we
Speaker 1: go slip some picks that we film on Wednesdays. These
Speaker 1: boys were a smaller crew. These guys are working hour
Speaker 1: like hours on hours and hours, and we're hitting the
Speaker 1: fall tour and all that stuff. We're hitting vlogs. We're
Speaker 1: putting out more content this fault than we ever have.
Speaker 1: So these guys their bandwidth, their battery is low, and
Speaker 1: they are grinding. This is a huge opportunity now, I
Speaker 1: will tell you will and I we we hook the
Speaker 1: boys up, gave him some raises. Actually this fall we're
Speaker 1: giving some bonuses. We're doing some other things in the
Speaker 1: world to give them bonuses on our end. But this
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for you guys as well to you know,
Speaker 1: help the boys out in ways that I know they'll
Speaker 1: find and be very grateful for. We're doing giveaways, they get,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, sorry, that's that's what we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about today. So that's that's basically what we're on. Black
Speaker 1: Friday is such a big deal to this world, to
Speaker 1: this business, and we we put a lot of hard work.
Speaker 1: I know, Gee, he's our big guy on the in
Speaker 1: the merch category. He does a great job of not
Speaker 1: just putting up the next big the next thing that okay,
Speaker 1: hopefully this sells. He puts time, he puts effort into
Speaker 1: these things and it's merched that I I truly like
Speaker 1: to wear. It's stuff that when Will and I started
Speaker 1: this show, it was like, we should have merch that's
Speaker 1: like truly badass, that truly is like, Oh I like that. Hey,
Speaker 1: where'd you get that? I was at the airport. We
Speaker 1: were in New Orleans. Lsuvlogs out now, but I flew
Speaker 1: into New Orleans and I had the dad hat no
Speaker 1: I had for the boys. For the boys had classic
Speaker 1: og hat. Some guys like man, I love that he
Speaker 1: started talking about this YouTube channel that he has. It's
Speaker 1: for the boys type of mentality, and I'm like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: take the hat and it's those little things. That's like,
Speaker 1: all right, We're turning in the right direction with our merch.
Speaker 1: We love the fact that people love to wear our merch.
Speaker 1: Now listen, everybody loves to giveaway. We're gonna hit a
Speaker 1: giveaway for you right now. Okay, this is tears. There
Speaker 1: is going to be five tiers in this situation, and
Speaker 1: then an honorable mentioned type of thing. Then there will
Speaker 1: be a god tier. I'm gonna talk about the tears
Speaker 1: first and then I'll hit you with the god teer.
Speaker 1: So Tier one of the top Spender is going to
Speaker 1: be going on a fall or spring tour stop with
Speaker 1: the boys. We're gonna fly out there, you're gonna get
Speaker 1: a hotel, you're gonna hang out, live, show, vlog, all
Speaker 1: the stuff you guys see that we do, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to be a part of. And that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Tier two, you're gonna be able to sit on the
Speaker 1: bus or any show if you're choosing. If you started
Speaker 1: watching Slips of Picks, so you started watching Bet the
Speaker 1: Bus and you really love those shows. You love the
Speaker 1: gambling aspect of the world that we live in. That
Speaker 1: you can pick between any of those that you want
Speaker 1: to do and come and sit on the bus or
Speaker 1: any of those shows. Tier three is going to be
Speaker 1: a signed jersey from not just Will, not just me,
Speaker 1: but from both Will and I. Tier four is going
Speaker 1: to be up to six tickets of the game of
Speaker 1: your choosing using the game Time app. Game Time has
Speaker 1: been a sponsor for us. We talked about relationships, they've
Speaker 1: been They've been great to us. We're going to use
Speaker 1: the game Time app. We're gonna give you six tickets
Speaker 1: if you're choosing to a game, and I'm gonna less
Speaker 1: you know right now, it's not going to be the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Don't ask for the super Bowl. Those tickets
Speaker 1: are crazy, all right, boys, insane, So regular tickets, you
Speaker 1: guys will enjoy that. That'll be awesome. Then, So this
Speaker 1: is the last year. This is Tier five. I meant
Speaker 1: to say, I said in the honorable mention, but tier five,
Speaker 1: after these tiers are filled up and everyone's slotted. I
Speaker 1: know people, as I've seen from the last Black Fridays,
Speaker 1: people have really fought for, you know, getting to that
Speaker 1: next step and kind of getting edged out by a
Speaker 1: dollar here, three dollars there. You know, sometimes it's a
Speaker 1: close margin. So after those tears are eaten up, the
Speaker 1: next twenty top spenders are going to get a personal
Speaker 1: video from either Will or I. I know we've done
Speaker 1: this in the past. There was like five hundred, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna do top twenty from either Will or I.
Speaker 1: So ten for me and ten for Will, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna pump those out as quick as possible. Now, the
Speaker 1: god teer, now this is this comes with a price,
Speaker 1: and either is a back and forth of whether or
Speaker 1: not we should do it. The reason why it comes
Speaker 1: to price is because it's at my house, and it's
Speaker 1: very personal and there's a lot of close friends there,
Speaker 1: so there's it's like bringing a stranger into your house
Speaker 1: for the first time. For me feels a little something,
Speaker 1: but I do think this would be truly an epic experience. Now,
Speaker 1: the god tier is going to be you and a
Speaker 1: partner will be flown out to Nashville, Tennessee, and you
Speaker 1: will partake. You will compete in the third annual Beer
Speaker 1: Olympics against individuals like Burt Krusher, individuals like Shane Gillis,
Speaker 1: guys like Midland Hardy, possibly Jake Paul, possibly Jake Paul.
Speaker 1: The Paul Brothers will be there. I'm hearing Burt Kreuscher
Speaker 1: called me. We've talked about it. You guys have seen
Speaker 1: the clip on Twitter where they want to be a
Speaker 1: part of your Olympics next year. These types of guys,
Speaker 1: and I don't know the Paul Brothers, but the guys
Speaker 1: that are coming to this house are close friends of mine,
Speaker 1: all right, We've through this podcast have established a relationship
Speaker 1: and it's it's awesome because it's truly like the biggest
Speaker 1: bro experience of all time that you walk away from sore, hurt, bruises, hungover,
Speaker 1: just tough. It's like, why would you ever put yourself
Speaker 1: through it? It's the vibe you get to relive those
Speaker 1: college days with all these great dudes. It's a phenomenal time.
Speaker 1: The price on that hold your breath for a second
Speaker 1: is twenty thousand dollars if someone spends, which is an
Speaker 1: ungodly amount of money. If somebody spends twenty thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: you and a partner will come and spend time with
Speaker 1: the boys that starstated crew at Beer Olympics twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be an awesome time. Now, the way you
Speaker 1: get answered into this, and I'd be very clear here,
Speaker 1: you were going to take a screenshot of your purchase.
Speaker 1: Once you do it during the Black Friday weekend, you're
Speaker 1: gonna use hashtag busting Black Friday, hashtag busting Black Friday
Speaker 1: with a screenshot of your purchase, and you're gonna post
Speaker 1: it to Twitter. The boys. I'm sure it'll be Garrett.
Speaker 1: We'll siphon through those things. He will find all of
Speaker 1: those purchases and put them where they should be on
Speaker 1: the tiers. Now, let's say you're the Tier one guy,
Speaker 1: but you don't really feel like going on a Spring
Speaker 1: Stops tour. You really want to come on the bus,
Speaker 1: or you really want the jersey, you really want the tickets.
Speaker 1: Then it's first come, first serve. Well, not first come,
Speaker 1: it's top top guy gets to choose first. So if
Speaker 1: Tier one guy wants the Tier three prize, well, then
Speaker 1: Tier two guy gets to pick between the top one
Speaker 1: and then two, four, and five. You understand what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to say. Am I making clear sense? There? Whoever
Speaker 1: spends the most gets to choose, whoever spends the second
Speaker 1: most gets to choose after that, so on and so
Speaker 1: forth until those tiers are eating up. Do I expect
Speaker 1: this God's here to get fulfilled? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: would say it's fifty to fifty. I know we have
Speaker 1: a couple of fans out there that truly are are
Speaker 1: like that, not only financially but about the brand that
Speaker 1: way as well, which we love you for. And if
Speaker 1: they want to go ahead invest in that type of
Speaker 1: thing for the experience, I would love it. I think
Speaker 1: we'd have a phenomenal time with you. It is going
Speaker 1: to be it's it is truly incredible. It's truly incredible.
Speaker 1: But that is that's the Black Friday. Is there anything
Speaker 1: Boys in the Back that I'm missing?
Speaker 4: No, I think you're good. I think you hit it all.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 6: It'll be more stuff that comes out through the week,
Speaker 6: just be falling on all socials because there'll be probably
Speaker 6: crucial detail stuff that might get swapped here and there.
Speaker 6: But for the most part, this is yes, the concrete giveaway.
Speaker 1: The concrete giveaway. And we're not We're not about adding
Speaker 1: one or two more tiers.
Speaker 4: Why not.
Speaker 1: We're kind of like that, why not? Kind of like that?
Speaker 1: But these five tiers.
Speaker 4: One thousand, who knows you he'll live with Taylor for
Speaker 4: six months.
Speaker 1: You spend fifty thousand, you get to have Jack for
Speaker 1: one night. Okay, that's what happens. Yeah, Jack, do you agree? Uh? It?
Speaker 1: It depends because you want the money.
Speaker 4: I don't think all that money is going to meet
Speaker 4: And I what if you know that.
Speaker 1: This is a is a weird line, right, It's called prostitution.
Speaker 1: It's a weird line to toe. We probably don't want
Speaker 1: to learn that on the show.
Speaker 6: You know, if if a guy spends you know, sixty k,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, you can have you no
Speaker 6: like I'm saying, like the like then I have to
Speaker 6: follow through with that, and you know, I know I'm
Speaker 6: not against you know, look.
Speaker 1: At him, look at him, just not at a whole
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 4: But Ice ice swing for one team. So I don't
Speaker 4: know if that's gonna.
Speaker 1: Work right well, right, I gotta try everything twice though.
Speaker 6: Just follow us on socials and you will see if
Speaker 6: we add anything else.
Speaker 1: All of us on socials. You can find out if
Speaker 1: you can have Jack for a night spending sixty thousand dollars. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's what we're doing. I'm busting with the boys. I
Speaker 1: want is a camera on you guys. I want to
Speaker 1: picture you looking at a black and white video right
Speaker 1: now that somber music you hear back in the commercials
Speaker 1: in like the twenty nineties. For twenty five cents a day,
Speaker 1: you can save this individual. When you spend on Black
Speaker 1: Friday and you hit the number, you are not only
Speaker 1: getting great merch, a great opportunity for yourself, but you're
Speaker 1: able to help these fine gentlemen back there pay their bills,
Speaker 1: electric utility, auto insurance, home car everything. That's what you
Speaker 1: do when you press the purchase button at store dot
Speaker 1: barstoolsports dot com slash bust them with the boys. That's
Speaker 1: what happens. These men take a step up to their
Speaker 1: inevitable goals financially, spiritually, personally. You're helping these guys. I
Speaker 1: wish all of them were sitting back there, sad faces
Speaker 1: sitting there. Oh please, may I have some multi vibes.
Speaker 1: But they right there, look at them. They're sad boys.
Speaker 1: And you can help them by just spending a little
Speaker 1: bit at the store dot barstool sports dot com. That's
Speaker 1: all you gotta do. You clip that fill and turn
Speaker 1: into black and white and put the music on. Now
Speaker 1: off one one, Yeah, yeah, what do we want to
Speaker 1: get into? I think I don't know if we've gone
Speaker 1: long enough for an ad read. I know that people
Speaker 1: hate the adareies, but we love the ad reads. Definitely,
Speaker 1: we can do an ad read. You guys get to
Speaker 1: hear an ad read, and we get to talk about
Speaker 1: Lucy Baby, get to talk about nicotine. These are my words.
Speaker 1: This is not Lucy's words. When you take nicotine, it
Speaker 1: has been proven by the biohackers you are getting. It's
Speaker 1: a stimulant. It helps you with multitasking, it helps you
Speaker 1: with cognitive function. It really it's a summer saying the
Speaker 1: ped for the common man. That's what nicotine really is.
Speaker 1: If you don't use nicotine, feel free to smash the
Speaker 1: thirty second forward button if you do. Today's sponsor Lucy
Speaker 1: has something for you. Lucy Nicotine, gum pouches and breakers
Speaker 1: all have three things in common. No tobacco, powerful nicotine
Speaker 1: and delicious flavors. Lucy has personally sent me a bunch
Speaker 1: of producty try, and I've really been enjoying the Breakers. Now,
Speaker 1: the Breakers, you think about ice breakers, right Jack, he
Speaker 1: was saking a photo in the back. Maybe that's what
Speaker 1: you we're doing about the icebreakers. But they have a
Speaker 1: small little bead in there that when you crack it,
Speaker 1: it's a surge of flavor. It's a surge of flavor,
Speaker 1: just riproorn around that mouth of yours, adding some tastes
Speaker 1: of saliva, putting a little bit of a boost into
Speaker 1: your day. Now, they're nicotine pouches which post up in
Speaker 1: your lip and chill there release a sweet, sweet, sweet nicotine.
Speaker 1: I basically just said that, but a lot better Breakers
Speaker 1: have something with that. No other pouches do a little
Speaker 1: capsule on each one, like I just said, but way
Speaker 1: better if you break it with your teeth and release
Speaker 1: a nicotine. It's way faster. Nixte pouches said that way.
Speaker 1: Better visit Lucy dot Co. That's Lucy dot Co and
Speaker 1: use promo code bustin b us s I and for

Speaker 1: fine print. Lucy products are only for adults of legal
Speaker 1: age and every order age verified. Warning this proaucting things. Nicotine.
Speaker 1: Nicotine is an addictive chemical. Now I do love the nicotine.
Speaker 1: I do, and I've had my wars with nicotine. I
Speaker 1: will tell you it is so addictive. People say it's
Speaker 1: hard to get off than anything else in the entire world.
Speaker 1: I went to battle with it. I lost that battle.
Speaker 1: Someday I'll quit again. But for right now, my cognitive
Speaker 1: functions higher than ever, the stimulus higher than ever, my
Speaker 1: multitasking is higher than ever. I've had zero sleep. I've
Speaker 1: had zero sleep in the last forty eight hours. Seventy
Speaker 1: two hours, and here I am on this bus on
Speaker 1: a Monday morning trying to essentially produce whatever kind of
Speaker 1: endorphin I have to give to you. And that's why
Speaker 1: Lucy's gonna help you possibly do the same. Now, let's
Speaker 1: talk about the weekend, because that is where the boys
Speaker 1: we shipped off the Las Vegas, Nevada second home for
Speaker 1: Jack and I. Jack and I was able to experience
Speaker 1: show off our house, Red Rocks, casino and hotel to
Speaker 1: the boys in the back. Everybody had a great time.
Speaker 1: It was amazing. We got there Thursday. We'll joined us
Speaker 1: on Friday, so we get there on Thursday. What's the
Speaker 1: first thing we did? Jack say, baby, because there's nothing
Speaker 1: better than sitting with the boys, whether you're betting five
Speaker 1: dollars or five million dollars and trying to piece together
Speaker 1: a better hand than the blackjack dealers sitting right in
Speaker 1: front of you. It's disrespectful how good at math they are.
Speaker 1: It's disrespectful that I have to watch him put five
Speaker 1: cars down and all of a sudden they just look
Speaker 1: at me as if I'm supposed to know the answer
Speaker 1: in the basic math category. And for that you have
Speaker 1: to beat them. Thursday had to go for us. Jack,
Speaker 1: it went well, it went well for you, It went
Speaker 1: well for me, It went well for you. Not so
Speaker 1: go hot for me at first. Right, you're boways down
Speaker 1: about five k. Early early often I was taking punches,
Speaker 1: taking body shots Rocky Boutboa. Right, I'm in Russia. The
Speaker 1: blonde hair, handsome boy with all the technology is really
Speaker 1: putting work on me now saving grace. Here he is
Speaker 1: the king Dana White. Now, I'm gonna backcheck a little bit.
Speaker 1: When I met Dana White in February, it was awesome
Speaker 1: just to meet the man because I respect him from
Speaker 1: a business standpoint and the way he handles his business.
Speaker 1: He came on the bus well at the super Bowl
Speaker 1: and gave us thirty minutes. Essentially, was like, he's only
Speaker 1: got thirty minutes. He's got to get back to Vegas.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah. We sit there, we have a
Speaker 1: great time. He enjoyed us. For whatever reason, he saw
Speaker 1: something and will and I that he thought, I want
Speaker 1: to be around this a little bit more. Invites us
Speaker 1: out to power slap. March eleventh, Jack, we all go
Speaker 1: out there to power slap. It was a great time.
Speaker 1: That power slap is the number one most viewed sport
Speaker 1: by five x ten x of all sports combined on
Speaker 1: the TikTok space on Instagram. That's how big of a
Speaker 1: deal power Slap has become in this year. And it's
Speaker 1: not even been a full year of power Slap. Yet
Speaker 1: we go see it. It's a great time. I end
Speaker 1: up gambling with Dana. I've told that story before. I win,
Speaker 1: I win, I win, I win, I win, I win,
Speaker 1: I continue to win. We're talking about hundreds of thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars over trusting an individual over an untrustworthy game,
Speaker 1: and so I go back in August and I lose
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars. There was a vag that
Speaker 1: was going to come out. I still thought it was
Speaker 1: going to come out, and then Jack was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if we can put that out, man. That's
Speaker 1: just it was so sad. My heart hurt, my body hurt.
Speaker 1: It was one of the most painful experiences I've ever
Speaker 1: had doing something, breaking bones, tearing acls. That shit probably
Speaker 1: hurt the most because you essentially asked for it. People
Speaker 1: tell you you're going to lose eventually, and you did. Now,
Speaker 1: why do I bring that up? Because that night Dana.
Speaker 1: I went back two weeks ago when we want a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of money, and Dana was like pressing me
Speaker 1: to pressing me to do is say, hey, come on,
Speaker 1: let's get back on the horse. You gotta try it.
Speaker 1: Bah blah blah. And I'm i myself, having a family,
Speaker 1: kids and all that, like thinking financially, like I can't
Speaker 1: go through that again because I don't want to put
Speaker 1: myself my family in position. It's like being stupid and
Speaker 1: end up being a thirty for thirty broke guy. He
Speaker 1: loosely presses me and like a confident way and like,
Speaker 1: just get back on the horse. We don't bet that
Speaker 1: much money. Blah blah blah. We end up winning a
Speaker 1: whole bunch. He comes Thursday after I'm down, Jack is
Speaker 1: sowing to the moon. I believe you were up five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars at that point. Yeah damn near close, right,
Speaker 1: So Dana goes, hey, how much do you want to win?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Usually when I win or I play with Dana, it's
Speaker 1: like if I can win sixty thousand dollars, that's great.
Speaker 1: Because you do two. You do a thirty thousand dollars bet,
Speaker 1: you win that twice, You get out and you've been
Speaker 1: in the wars. You go back and forth a little bit,
Speaker 1: and you and literally nine times out of ten, I've
Speaker 1: won that war, Dana. He's like, all right, thirty, Yeah,
Speaker 1: not as much as you usually do. I respect that.
Speaker 1: Let's get after it. Before I can place a bet,
Speaker 1: He's like, give me thirty. He starts going to war.
Speaker 1: He's down like two fifty three hundred, but it's quick
Speaker 1: because there's so much money flowing back and forth. He
Speaker 1: ends up getting up and winning the thirty. He wins
Speaker 1: the thirty, pays off his marker, hands me thirty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in chips. That's the kind of guy we're talking
Speaker 1: about right now, hands me thirty thousand dollars in chips,
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, but Taylor, he's a billionaire. He
Speaker 1: has so much money as this and the other. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have to do that stuff for people. There's a
Speaker 1: bunch of billionaires, billionaires out there that have an attitude
Speaker 1: of me first. And what you'll see in this podcast
Speaker 1: is that Dana is relationships over money, and that is
Speaker 1: it's easy for, you know, a guy who's struggling with
Speaker 1: their bills to say that because we all like to
Speaker 1: Enavilab saying, we will choose relationships over money an individual
Speaker 1: that has three commas in the bank account. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying that, to put things into perspective, has to make
Speaker 1: so many sacrifices to essentially make the one percent of
Speaker 1: the one percent of the one percent of humanity. For
Speaker 1: him still to sit there and choose relationships over people.
Speaker 1: To me is he's an anomaly of a human being.
Speaker 1: He's the one of the best human beings. So what's
Speaker 1: Dana's rule, Jackie, After you play and you win, get out,
Speaker 1: get out immediately.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So we're sitting there, we're hanging out, and at this point,
Speaker 1: like it's not just Da Dana's relationship, Like he's dapping
Speaker 1: Jack up, He's dapping Will up. He's dapping, he's dapping
Speaker 1: all the boys up, as if we're all close friends. Right,
Speaker 1: we're hanging we're talking, having a good time. He sits
Speaker 1: there and he says, fuck it, give me thirty. Now.
Speaker 1: This man goes down seven figures. He is down seven
Speaker 1: figures at the table because he broke his rule. And
Speaker 1: right as he was getting in, I told him, I said, hey,
Speaker 1: you're breaking your rule, and he fights it out, yeah,
Speaker 1: because he.
Speaker 6: Like, do you want to run through all of the
Speaker 6: stories that you want to leave?
Speaker 4: Because I can't remember.
Speaker 1: If he talked about We kind of touched on it,
Speaker 1: but we didn't say like numbers or anything. He talks
Speaker 1: a little bit about then the no, I appreciate you
Speaker 1: saying that I'll speed up the process. So he ends
Speaker 1: up going down that much money, comes back and winning
Speaker 1: sixty and he's like kind of wipes the brow, like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, that was that was a bit of a deal.
Speaker 1: He leaves. It's like four or five in the morning.
Speaker 1: I stayed up with him because it's like, yo, I
Speaker 1: know he came out here to gamble with me, and
Speaker 1: you gotta you want to be there for support, even
Speaker 1: if I am tired, I'm exhausted. The boys are running
Speaker 1: on fumes. It is what it is. So I stay
Speaker 1: up all night with him. He leaves. The next day,
Speaker 1: the boys we go to UFC UFC headquarters. We do
Speaker 1: a podcast with him, and then after that all the
Speaker 1: boys like we go to F one. F one is
Speaker 1: an absolute spectacle. Those vehicles are incredible, and we have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to partner up with a company called dur Cell.
Speaker 1: You might know them from your batteries. They they have
Speaker 1: They sponsor a team there. We went and saw the
Speaker 1: experience down at the strip. We were doing the taps,
Speaker 1: the lights tapping up and you have thirty seconds. The
Speaker 1: faster you do it, the higher your score. I don't
Speaker 1: know who won, but I know that if you if
Speaker 1: you're good at that, you're probably great at life. If
Speaker 1: you have the reaction time to do that, you're probably
Speaker 1: an awesome dude. But I'm not sure who won, Jay,
Speaker 1: do you remember? Do you remember who won?
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 5: You don't.
Speaker 4: I know I was up on that board.
Speaker 1: You were top three for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't remember who won that.
Speaker 3: I didn't. I only got to go once, but I
Speaker 3: was drunk.
Speaker 1: You were drunk.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about that.
Speaker 1: We can talk about that, so, but I want to
Speaker 1: talk about the F one experience.
Speaker 5: First.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the F phone experience. First, we go
Speaker 1: and do the fhone experience. It was awesome. We simulated
Speaker 1: UH and the cars was a lot harder to drive
Speaker 1: than you think they are, and it was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. So we got We got to do that,
Speaker 1: and then the next day we went into a drone
Speaker 1: show for dura cell and that was cool too. Man.
Speaker 1: Drones are essentially the new fireworks without the bang, and
Speaker 1: it was came up, you know. They spelt out doro
Speaker 1: cell about fifteen times. They turned into a boat, they
Speaker 1: turned to two with a car, and it's the transition. The
Speaker 1: seamlessness of drones is a it's a really cool experience.
Speaker 1: They had a very we'll say, very exclusive party there.
Speaker 1: We will say it was smaller numbers, big personalities. Yeah
Speaker 1: it was. We'll say it was a time. Well, we
Speaker 1: had a blast. But yes, let's get into we are
Speaker 1: on the weekend recap. Here's all painted. Come, do you
Speaker 1: mind to paint it or do you want to talk
Speaker 1: about it first? Okay, we're at breakfast the next morning.
Speaker 1: After Dana goes down those seven figures, he comes back
Speaker 1: and wins and uh, we're hanging out having a good time.
Speaker 1: There's a fan there. I believe it was Jim God.
Speaker 1: I hope it's Jim. It starts with a Jay and
Speaker 1: his wife named Hannah. I think he's They live in Nashville,
Speaker 1: and is a is it either a police officer or
Speaker 1: he's boys the police officer because he tells me about
Speaker 1: the police officers coming to my house all the time
Speaker 1: after my alarm goes off and they're there in five minutes,
Speaker 1: Like literally, the police are so quick to my house
Speaker 1: when there's an alarm going off and it's happened like
Speaker 1: seven times since I moved in. But they hang out
Speaker 1: for like twenty minutes. So apparently his boy was talking
Speaker 1: about it. They buy us six shots of Crown Royal. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take a shot at ten am in
Speaker 1: the morning when I've got work to do, so but
Speaker 1: I know that these shots have to be taken. The
Speaker 1: boys are out, everyone's like, I'm not taking it. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not taking it. Jackson next to me, I'm not
Speaker 1: taking it. JPC next to Jack, I'm not taking it. Steven,
Speaker 1: I'm not Mitch or R Garrett, I'm not Mitch. Go's
Speaker 1: I'll take one. And it's like, okay, brother, you're gonna
Speaker 1: take one. So I say, I think to myself, what
Speaker 1: an opportunity to test one of my guys when they
Speaker 1: know we have a full slate today. Hey, Mitch, I'll
Speaker 1: give you a thousand dollars if you if you take
Speaker 1: those shots. How long did you think about it for?
Speaker 1: You went took a tuosie.
Speaker 7: I thought about it for I was still I was
Speaker 7: so stuff from the great breakfast we had, and then
Speaker 7: I was like, I need to go for a walk
Speaker 7: and think about this.
Speaker 3: Took a tuosy came back.
Speaker 7: I'm like, thousand dollars, one thousand dollars, I've taken six
Speaker 7: shots at.
Speaker 3: A night befo or why not?
Speaker 1: So you sweet the shots.
Speaker 7: I took the shots, but I feel like you're painting
Speaker 7: it in the.
Speaker 3: Sense of let's just test my guys.
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this besides that comment, and have
Speaker 1: I not said everything exactly correct so far?
Speaker 3: Yes? Okay, sorry, I mean that that's a big comment.
Speaker 1: Though it's a big comment.
Speaker 3: Twist the story a little bit.
Speaker 1: So I give him a thousand dollars. We walk up
Speaker 1: to the room at a thousand dollars, chip boom, give
Speaker 1: the coin flip think he flips in there, he catches it,
Speaker 1: he leaves. I said a time on my phone. I
Speaker 1: go gray myself a little bit of pump. Hit the
Speaker 1: glutes today and got a little pump. Set a timer
Speaker 1: for one hour. Around the hour it hits, I go, Mitch,
Speaker 1: how we doing, brother, He's not so great. We end
Speaker 1: up actually meeting up in Mitch's room. Will is not
Speaker 1: even there yet, and we get there and I go, Mitch,
Speaker 1: we need to talk about it, like you're getting drunk
Speaker 1: on the job when we have a whole lot of
Speaker 1: work to do today. How do you feel now? I
Speaker 1: will say it was a joke. I was kidding, that's
Speaker 1: what you wanted to hear, because I thought about going
Speaker 1: into the whole process again. But there's a vog that's
Speaker 1: going to come out where you guys will literally be
Speaker 1: able to see all of it. But essentially Will and
Speaker 1: I or I started. I put Mitch in an absolute
Speaker 1: blender about essentially the horrible horrible Bosses thing where the
Speaker 1: guy pours in the scotch at eleven am and makes
Speaker 1: him drink it. That's basically what I did to him.
Speaker 1: We go, we knock it out. He's Mitch's in a blender.
Speaker 1: So now he's drunk and he's got anxiety, a tough combination.
Speaker 1: Through the roof, I text Will, I said, hey, we
Speaker 1: missed to do six shots for one thousand dollars. When
Speaker 1: he when you get here, when you see him, give
Speaker 1: him shit about being drunk on the job. So I go,
Speaker 1: we go downstairs, you guys got down there before me
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. But I walk over there and he's
Speaker 1: just tearing into you, viscrating you. Where I'm watching my
Speaker 1: boy question life for a second, he's he's having a
Speaker 1: tough time.
Speaker 4: That bus ride over to uh the fan zone.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you were interview. The interview was the
Speaker 1: interview with Dana.
Speaker 6: It was I felt awkward. I was like, is this
Speaker 6: a joke at this point or is this real now?
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I felt the same way
Speaker 1: at the way Will was going at him, because he
Speaker 1: did start raising his voice and kind of coming at you.
Speaker 1: But I have the text of it's like, lol, I
Speaker 1: was planning on doing that. Haha, I'm gonna get him
Speaker 1: good now. Shout out Will for being a method actor,
Speaker 1: really jumping into the role being a horrible boss.
Speaker 7: I was stressing out, like to the point where I
Speaker 7: asked each Jack, JP and Garrett, I'm like, yo, am
Speaker 7: I all right?
Speaker 1: I know they told us he was to the bathroom
Speaker 1: before the day. Upon They're like yo, Mitch's literally asked
Speaker 1: us if he's good.
Speaker 7: And they're like, yeah, bro, you're fine, like don't worry
Speaker 7: about it. And I'm like, oh, he's he's coming. I
Speaker 7: know Taylor's joking, but Will is like seems kind of pissed, which.
Speaker 1: I'm glad Will did that because I did come out.
Speaker 1: I instigated the thing, and then to come at you
Speaker 1: after that, it's like, obviously it's there's some joke there,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure you there's a piece of you. I
Speaker 1: was like, is he serious that?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I guess he really trying to put me in the
Speaker 1: spin zone. Will coming in that hard, not even being
Speaker 1: a part of it, stealed the we'll call it a prank,
Speaker 1: sealed the prank for us, which I really I really enjoyed.
Speaker 1: So Mitchie's in a blender. And then that evening we
Speaker 1: go or not evening. That afternoon we go to UFC
Speaker 1: headquarters and do the podcast with Dana that Dana's has
Speaker 1: zero sleep, six am, five am, whenever he left the
Speaker 1: night before. He's ripped oning around. We get there, he's
Speaker 1: signing howlerhead whiskey, He's uh, he's you know, chat everybody up.
Speaker 1: He's on the phone. People are grabbing left and right,
Speaker 1: and it's like we're supposed to start at two thirty
Speaker 1: two thirty five. He has two forty hits and you
Speaker 1: get it, man. The guy's the guy's grinding through it.
Speaker 1: He's got he's got no sleep, ends up sitting down
Speaker 1: and I go, hey, how much time do you have?
Speaker 1: And he goes, just rip it, man, as long as
Speaker 1: you guys need. Once again talking to the character of
Speaker 1: Dana White, we end up having the interview you're about
Speaker 1: to listen to. We end up having an incredible conversation
Speaker 1: with this man, his mindset, the way he approaches it.
Speaker 1: The Theo vonn podcast where uh Peloton, he starts go
Speaker 1: rip it into Peloton. He's he touches on the bud
Speaker 1: light stuff that we all that we've all seen, they
Speaker 1: had the Dylan mulvanything right. Proud boys are up in
Speaker 1: arms about it, and he's like, this is a great
Speaker 1: partnership for us, and he starts to go into why

Speaker 1: we played. I think I did I win? Yeah, I want, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want a little bit, but not much.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 1: It was a smaller hands type of night, small hand
Speaker 1: step of night. But I had that little thirty piece
Speaker 1: of data toss me uh the night before, and Jack
Speaker 1: is truly putting on a clinic of how to win
Speaker 1: money and how to bet, when to stay, when to hit.
Speaker 1: He was he was Himothy Will was in there. It
Speaker 1: Will Will was not a big cards guy, but he
Speaker 1: was enjoying himself. Got a little too aggressive at the
Speaker 1: wrong time and and it went downhill. I think he
Speaker 1: was down five at one point. Now we got the
Speaker 1: boy right, don't don't get a twisted We got the
Speaker 1: boy right towards the end of the night, and so
Speaker 1: we're hanging him doing our thing. The nelte boys show up,
Speaker 1: Steve Will do it. Who you know, after you hear
Speaker 1: the story, you'll Steve and I have become great friends.
Speaker 1: At this point. I really enjoy him. I think Drewski
Speaker 1: was there. Yeah, yeah, Drewski popped up around eleven at
Speaker 1: eleven pm. Guys, just funny, man, it's just dudes. You
Speaker 1: really don't know. I think Bradley Martin was there. Who
Speaker 1: what's the girl's name that does the podcast with him?
Speaker 1: What is her name?
Speaker 4: Sarah?
Speaker 1: Okay, we don't like Sarah. No, okay, the way you
Speaker 1: said Sarah, I didn't know Sarah.
Speaker 4: I think I don't know her last name. They're just
Speaker 4: they're like jim Influencersky Jimmy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know brad is and yeah, he he loves
Speaker 1: the chat. He was doing the stream the night after
Speaker 1: the night I'm talking about right now, and he loves
Speaker 1: the chat. They do a good job of essentially being
Speaker 1: with the our fitness influencer and they have got a
Speaker 1: massive brand because of it. So you're around all these
Speaker 1: people that are neverably in the same game that we
Speaker 1: all are. It's a good networking experience, even if it's
Speaker 1: not the same kind of brand that we're doing. It's
Speaker 1: great to be around them and learn about the personalities.
Speaker 1: Dana walks in. We're having a good time. I'm wondering
Speaker 1: am I gonna go? Or is he gonna go? He
Speaker 1: starts and brother, it was hell. It was hell now
Speaker 1: when we were at you. When we went to the
Speaker 1: UFC headquarters, Dana, he kind of took me to side
Speaker 1: and say, hey man, you didn't have to stay all
Speaker 1: last night, but I appreciate you doing that, Like that's cool.
Speaker 1: That's a cool bro move of you. And so thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, Just saying thank you. Dana goes down twice
Speaker 1: as much as he was the night before, and it
Speaker 1: isn't all out war. It is, you know, slowly but surely,
Speaker 1: the boys in the back they start trickling off. Drewskie
Speaker 1: out of here. You know. Everyone kind of starts to leave,
Speaker 1: and it's really just me Dana Hunter, who if you
Speaker 1: guys don't know who Hunter is. His story. We talk
Speaker 1: about history a little bit on the podcast with Dana.
Speaker 1: I fucking love that man, his boy Skip, his other
Speaker 1: boy Marty, and we're kind of watching our boy go
Speaker 1: to war. And we're up till eleven a m. The
Speaker 1: next day, we're up till eleven am. So I didn't
Speaker 1: get sleep the night before, eleven am the night the
Speaker 1: next day and he's down two. I'll just say the
Speaker 1: word number two and you can probably piece it together
Speaker 1: from there, he comes back from two down ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: He's literally one hand away from being up twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: And this is right around seven am. He loses that one,
Speaker 1: he loses another one, and it just spirals to where
Speaker 1: it's ten thirty in the morning, eleven in the morning,
Speaker 1: and he's down five hundred thousand dollars and he's like,
Speaker 1: looks the deal. He goes, I have to go to
Speaker 1: a meeting. I have to go to UFC. Now go
Speaker 1: ahead and put a hold on this. I'll be back
Speaker 1: later to win it back. So he postpones the war
Speaker 1: to essentially go to his other wars that he has
Speaker 1: to go take care of. We grab breakfast, the boys,
Speaker 1: We go watch the little college football Michigan Yikes, which
Speaker 1: I'll probably talk about that little bit after we get
Speaker 1: into the weekend recap. After the weekend recap, and then
Speaker 1: I go upstairs around twelve to fifteen, twelve thirty, grab
Speaker 1: a forty five minute nap, and then we went and
Speaker 1: met with some people, went to that little club, met
Speaker 1: with some people about potential sponsor stuff. They were awesome,
Speaker 1: they were a great time. I'm not going to say
Speaker 1: the sponsor right now, because there's nothing set in stone.
Speaker 1: And but I will say it would be a phenomenal partnership,
Speaker 1: but it not. It would be incredible. Had a good time,
Speaker 1: Mitch might have fell in love.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't fall in love, but I had a
Speaker 3: good time. I think that.
Speaker 1: Sounds worse yet and fall in love yet. But I'll
Speaker 1: say this Spring's not too far away, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love it. I love it, And well, you know what,
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens come super Bowl. When we get
Speaker 1: back in Las Vegas. I think it's the next time
Speaker 1: we'll be there. We go to that, then we go
Speaker 1: to the Drone show and the only thing I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about is sleep. The only thing at this point I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about a sleep. I was like, we've done We've
Speaker 1: We've done what we've had to do for Dura Cel.
Speaker 1: We did the vlog. The boys want to go to
Speaker 1: a magic show, and I'm just like, did I not
Speaker 1: say it? Like noon, I a the and then I
Speaker 1: can get some sleep ton I'm gonna get some sleep
Speaker 1: tonight and the boys all gonna go to Measure. I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, we I'll drop you guys off. Now
Speaker 1: I'm going back to the Red Rocks. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: some sleep. I could feel the boys were a little bummed,
Speaker 1: were you guys not? Yeah, bummed about me not going.
Speaker 4: I knew you had you needed to sleep with for
Speaker 4: sure you didn't do, but which.
Speaker 1: I did not do? Fine, yeah, I but I might.
Speaker 1: I want to say my full intent was to go
Speaker 1: get sleep. Yeah, my full intent was to go get sleep.
Speaker 1: So I take the bus back to the Red Rocks
Speaker 1: and as I'm sitting there, I I, uh, I didn't
Speaker 1: say this part, but I got a little squirrely during
Speaker 1: Dana's second night fight with the with the tables, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to go play a little bit myself. That
Speaker 1: thirty that Dana helped me out with that's gone. I
Speaker 1: lost that that that and I got this yere and
Speaker 1: I was like, let me get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm now even and sometimes even's w I
Speaker 1: called my wife, She's like, oh man, you didn't win nothing.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Usually you win. That's uh, that's wild. Then
Speaker 1: I kind of feeled to myself, Hey, maybe I should
Speaker 1: go just play a couple of hands, see if I
Speaker 1: can like win you know, five or ten, kind of
Speaker 1: move on. He come out a little net positive, but
Speaker 1: there's a piece of me that's like, wouldn't it be
Speaker 1: sick if I was able to win Dana his money back?
Speaker 1: And that is where the night of the most incredible
Speaker 1: gambling experience of my life started. I go to the
Speaker 1: I get to the Red Rocks. I go into the
Speaker 1: high Roller room. Who's sitting there Steve will do It,
Speaker 1: smoking a marblow red and drinking some pink Martini with
Speaker 1: a sugar salt with a sugar rim. And we're sitting there,
Speaker 1: he's playing a little bit, and I'm like, hey, you
Speaker 1: mind if I jump in. He's like, nah, yeah, go ahead, buddy,
Speaker 1: do which you want. And one of us says, wouldn't
Speaker 1: it be sick if we won Dana's money back? If
Speaker 1: we won him five hundred thousand dollars? And we get,
Speaker 1: you know, we get all excited. Maybe, hey, what if
Speaker 1: it does happen? What if it does happen? And so
Speaker 1: we both pull out ten thousand dollars. He pulls out
Speaker 1: from his credit line. I pull out for my credit line.
Speaker 1: We have ten thousand dollars to play with. We're playing
Speaker 1: one thousand dollar hands, a lot of money, but like,
Speaker 1: you know, very conservative, you're trying to win five hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. There are a couple of shoes that ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars is twenty five thousand dollars, and it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: well maybe I can take this other ten I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go pay off that credit line. So now I'm even
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't owe the hotel anything. And
Speaker 1: so Steve and I are there. We nickel and dime
Speaker 1: slowly and slowly to the point where I'm up like
Speaker 1: seventy thousand, Steve's up forty five thousand, and it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're getting to a point here where we might actually
Speaker 1: be able to, you know, make a press to win
Speaker 1: the five hundred thousand. It's still it's still a dream.
Speaker 1: It's still like a non reality. It's truly impossible to
Speaker 1: do that. But we keep playing. And here's the cool thing.
Speaker 1: There was a point where I was doing well and
Speaker 1: Steve was not. Just how the cards were going. I
Speaker 1: give Steve five thousand dollars, I give Steve ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Then there's a moment where I start going down. Steve
Speaker 1: Bink gives me five thousand dollars. We're truly playing this
Speaker 1: table as a team, and it's like vibes are high.
Speaker 1: He's he's hype, I'm high. Bradley sitting in the middle
Speaker 1: of talking to the chat getting chirped about eating ice cream,
Speaker 1: staying and he needs to eat a hot dog, but
Speaker 1: he doesn't eat the hot dok because he don't want to.
Speaker 1: It's chirped on by the whole entire world where it's
Speaker 1: a unique experience that we're all kind of in right
Speaker 1: now and we're figuring out a way for the greater good,
Speaker 1: not because of me, not because of Steve, but for
Speaker 1: Dana to win. This man five hundred thousand dollars. Now,
Speaker 1: I tell him. I was like, man, I got to
Speaker 1: get to sleep. I've got some sleepers. I have to
Speaker 1: be up at three thirty in the morning. I've got
Speaker 1: to get up at three thirty in the morning to
Speaker 1: catch his five am flight to get back to Nashville.
Speaker 1: Boys got kids, I got a wife. I want to
Speaker 1: go home, and I want to be a product member
Speaker 1: of our family while I get back. So I was like,
Speaker 1: we got to press a little bit. I lose a
Speaker 1: couple and then I put a twenty five thousand dollars handdown.
Speaker 1: I put two twenty five thousand dollars hands downs. Excuse me.
Speaker 1: One's a double nine and two, and then one is
Speaker 1: two eights, so I get so I obviously double that,
Speaker 1: and I split the two eights. So we're talking about
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars right now on the table. Then
Speaker 1: I get a ten on the on one eight and
Speaker 1: I get a three. Well, those of you who played cards,
Speaker 1: you know you always double eleven, regardless of where you're at.
Speaker 1: I double. I want to double. Here's the problem is
Speaker 1: I have now bled out the entire amount of money
Speaker 1: that I have won to try to get Dana his
Speaker 1: money back, and I am now scared that I have
Speaker 1: to go reach into my own credit line and possibly
Speaker 1: come out negative from this experience. When the whole goal was, Hey,
Speaker 1: win a couple bucks, get out here turns into winning
Speaker 1: data money without thinking be without me even having the
Speaker 1: opportunity to say, all right, give me twenty five. Steve
Speaker 1: takes twenty five thousand dollars of his own ships. Steve
Speaker 1: will do it. Takes twenty five thousand dollars of his
Speaker 1: own ships, takes it and puts it right next to
Speaker 1: it to double. That's the kind of guy that that's
Speaker 1: the kind of guy he is. That's the kind of
Speaker 1: guy that's who we're fighting for. Is Dana dealer has
Speaker 1: a six flips over a five, flips over a two
Speaker 1: flips over a three. When number we have now eleven
Speaker 1: two is we're at fourteen. The next card a king bus.
Speaker 1: Steve's on a chair, jumps in the air. I catch
Speaker 1: him like a ballerina, and we are jumping up and down,
Speaker 1: so excited that now it has become a absolute reality
Speaker 1: that we can win. Dana has money back. I give
Speaker 1: Steve fifty. We are now sitting good. We start playing
Speaker 1: a little bit more. It gets to the eleven thirty
Speaker 1: range and I go, I pull Steve over. Mike Man,
Speaker 1: if we really want to do this, we've got two
Speaker 1: press and either lose it all or make this money
Speaker 1: for Dana. We played one hand where I had fifteen
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen thousand, and Steve had fifteen thousand and fifteen thousand,
Speaker 1: so sixty thousand dollars on the table.
Speaker 3: We'd lose.
Speaker 1: We win the next one, and we win the next one.
Speaker 1: Now we are right in that four fifty range, right
Speaker 1: around the four to fifty range where It's like, if
Speaker 1: we just win one more hand, think about where we
Speaker 1: came from here. We both took out twenty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: and paid that off, and now between Steve and I
Speaker 1: we are at four hundred and fifty thousand dollars with
Speaker 1: a chance to make Dani White his money back after
Speaker 1: going to war two nights in a row and being
Speaker 1: the position he was. So we put one more hand
Speaker 1: down fifteen fifteen, fifteen fifteen cards are dealt six sixteen fifteen,
Speaker 1: fourteen thirteen. Those are the cards that Steve and I have,
Speaker 1: the dealers showing six. The dealer puts down six more cards,
Speaker 1: six of them, and bust at twenty two. We lose
Speaker 1: our fucking mind because, like I just said, twenty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in, we're now five hundred and ten thousand dollars up.
Speaker 1: We have truly lost our mind. And it was so
Speaker 1: incredibly insane. And I don't think I think if Steve
Speaker 1: and I go in there and play, we don't win.
Speaker 1: I think I think we don't win. I think we
Speaker 1: both end up busting out if we're playing for ourselves.
Speaker 1: Something about karma, something about energy, something about helping people,
Speaker 1: good people, even in categories where we all know Dana
Speaker 1: White doesn't need help. That was the reason why we
Speaker 1: won that money. So we're sitting there, we had the
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand. They have these little these blue chips
Speaker 1: that say twenty five thousand dollars. Those equal out to
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars with ninety five hundred left over,
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, hey, what do we do with this.
Speaker 1: Let's put it on one more hand. We'll see and
Speaker 1: if we win it, we'll split it. And look at us.
Speaker 1: We're both walking away with around ten gram We get blackjack.
Speaker 1: We got blackjack boys. Hey, we got blackjack boys. That's
Speaker 1: the kind of night we were dealing with. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't understand where the enthusiasm is at because this is
Speaker 1: a hype story. We know the story, but how insane
Speaker 1: is that?
Speaker 4: It's insane? It's insane, Yes, insane.
Speaker 1: It should have never happened, never in a million years,
Speaker 1: could not be done again. So we FaceTime Dana. We're
Speaker 1: losing our minds. We've won it. We go hash out
Speaker 1: and I go to my room and try to sleep.
Speaker 1: I barely sleep, and Steve calls me and say, hey,
Speaker 1: Dana's gonna be here in a little bit. I think
Speaker 1: it'd be cool we were both here to give him
Speaker 1: the money. So I go. I was like, hey, I'll
Speaker 1: send a timer for when I have to leave for
Speaker 1: my flight. Call me when he's about ten minutes out.
Speaker 1: I'll do whatever he calls me. So like two thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning, so I get like two hours of sleep,
Speaker 1: hour and a half of sleep, and I cruised down there.
Speaker 1: Dana's ecstatic. Dana's you know Dana. We all know Dana
Speaker 1: doesn't need help with us for his finances, but there's
Speaker 1: been numerous occasions where Dana's helped me in the gambling space.
Speaker 1: He's helped Steve, And it was a very cool opportunity
Speaker 1: for us to help Dana out and just kind of
Speaker 1: do something for him that a lot of people wouldn't
Speaker 1: do and kind of show Dana like, here, you're our boy,
Speaker 1: and we're not just here for you cause you're Dana
Speaker 1: White and X Y and Z and now I feel
Speaker 1: like it was a big staple moment for all three
Speaker 1: of our relationships, and it was it was the fucking
Speaker 1: best man. It was just the camaraderie. It was work
Speaker 1: and for something that doesn't like not that you don't
Speaker 1: really have a whole lot to gain in in that
Speaker 1: specific space. It was so awesome to be a part of.
Speaker 1: And he was he was thrilled. Man, he was. He was.
Speaker 1: He's like, you know, calls me, He's like, we're a
Speaker 1: family now where this or that? Like like he was,
Speaker 1: he was so appreciative. And I just thought it was
Speaker 1: the coolest experience ever.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: I thought it was so damn cool. But yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's how the weekend ended. I am so bummed. We'll
Speaker 1: probably cut this part out, but I'm bummed one of
Speaker 1: you guys weren't there to film it because it would
Speaker 1: have been sick.
Speaker 4: I know, well when you left, you said you're going
Speaker 4: to sleep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you guys came in the room. Yes, yes
Speaker 1: I saw what I was doing. Yeah, yes, I was
Speaker 1: cooking a little bit. When you saw me, I was cooking?
Speaker 3: Was I not?
Speaker 5: I was cheffing?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would have been sick if you guys
Speaker 1: were there. I'll probably try to get that film from
Speaker 1: Steve and see if we can add that to the
Speaker 1: uh to the deal. We can't put him on YouTube,
Speaker 1: can't we brutal? Brutal? But yeah, that's the story. Boys,
Speaker 1: and it was. It was awesome, And I literally tweet out,
Speaker 1: you know, greatest gambling experience of my life with Steve
Speaker 1: will do it. Blah blah blah. Who comes to the
Speaker 1: body bag? I'm Michigan man, my boy Dana Dan Dave
Speaker 1: Portnoy is like, you know, reached into his cool gambling
Speaker 1: tweet guy simulator and pulls this one out, which is
Speaker 1: on a hilarious chirp. And when I saw at six
Speaker 1: pm the night after, I was like, oh, I don't
Speaker 1: even know what to say to this. Just a good
Speaker 1: body bag by him. But let's talk about body armor
Speaker 1: for a second.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 1: I love here. It is right here, It's in my hand.
Speaker 1: Look at that body armour. Bing Bang Boom Bust with
Speaker 1: the Boys is brought to you by body armour. From
Speaker 1: sports drinks to sport water, body armour keeps us hydrated

Speaker 1: athletes are joined the team. Joe Burrow. By the way,
Speaker 1: let's get a moment of sounds real quick for Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: Heartbroken buddy, keep hydrating using body armor. Do I have
Speaker 1: to say anything else about Go to this website?
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: Body Armor is available in stores nationwide. Head over to
Speaker 1: body Armor to the body Armor Store now on Amazon
Speaker 1: and get yours today. Body Armor Store on Amazon and
Speaker 1: get yours today. Dude, Joe Burrow tough sledding for the
Speaker 1: boy there. Man. I wonder if the Bengals are actually
Speaker 1: gonna get a massive fine. They're probably gonna get in
Speaker 1: big trouble, right.
Speaker 3: They said they can get in.
Speaker 7: I saw something and I think there's a little over exaggerating,
Speaker 7: but like how popular sports gambling is that like they
Speaker 7: could be in become like a lawsuit because the amount
Speaker 7: of money that's probably put on them. The Bengals didn't
Speaker 7: report anything about an injury, so like they could get
Speaker 7: in massive.
Speaker 1: Trouble, massive trouble. You saw Dave's when he put one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: To sixty seven thousand to win a million and then loss.
Speaker 1: Sixty seven thousand to win a million. But that was
Speaker 1: for them to it was the futures bet to win
Speaker 1: the Super.
Speaker 4: Bowl Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: But I think he made a tweet the night of
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game, which is I still believe in
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and I think it was like one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty thousand for Bengals money line maybe. And when
Speaker 1: Joe gets hurt, it's ten to seven in that game,
Speaker 1: like you're looking at probably the Bengals being able to
Speaker 1: pull that one off obviously is not going to be
Speaker 1: the score that it was before Joe got hurt. But
Speaker 1: it just sucks, man, And yeah, U tactically the wrong
Speaker 1: move for the Bengals not to say anything to essentially
Speaker 1: get a competitive edge over the Ravens, but man, that
Speaker 1: sucks and seeing him try to throw the ball on
Speaker 1: the sideline was just brutal. Seemed like it was a
Speaker 1: It was a tough weekend for all gamblers. Slips some picks.
Speaker 1: I think the best record we have right now is
Speaker 1: Chet Savage and the Mule are at five hundred five hundred.
Speaker 1: After that game, the Giants go off. The guys go
Speaker 1: off against the Commanders. All of a sudden, they can
Speaker 1: score points. We're talking about they score seventeen points a game,
Speaker 1: barely the twenty eighth in the league in scoring, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they want to put up a
Speaker 1: but Jillian against the Commanders. The Commanders can't put anything together.
Speaker 1: Sam Howell has three interceptions. That is wild, bro wild
Speaker 1: that they were able to do that, that is just crazy.
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, that is a it was a it
Speaker 1: was a wild week. He should we talk about the Titans?
Speaker 4: We can what do we do tank?
Speaker 1: I think so. I think that's the that's the answer.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean Houston lost, Houston beat the Cardinals.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I don't talk about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want to talk about it. The AFC
Speaker 1: South seems like it's going to be controlled by the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars. They played this week,
Speaker 1: so that'll be an interesting dynamic. I think the Texans
Speaker 1: are at five and four now, and then the Jaguars
Speaker 1: are seven and three correct, seven and four sixty four
Speaker 1: and seven three. So this is a big game between
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Houston is s gonna ride at the top
Speaker 1: of that of the AFC South Colts five hundred. Just
Speaker 1: a weird squad. They're still in the fight. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Shout out Quentin Nelson. Love him
Speaker 1: to death. Hope he's all pro again. But damn bro
Speaker 1: that's yeah, three and seven, three and seven, And now
Speaker 1: sitting back not being a player and being a fan
Speaker 1: and being a fan of the Titans, obviously they're not
Speaker 1: going to tank that. They're not sitting there up in
Speaker 1: upper management going oh, let's tank, Let's try to go
Speaker 1: get this receiver. Let's just try to try to get
Speaker 1: this offensive lineman. But for the future of the franchise,
Speaker 1: it's probably better that they lose games. It's better they
Speaker 1: lose games and have more draft capital so they can
Speaker 1: go and get it. Because you know, we were talking about,
Speaker 1: you know how it's tough to protect Will Levis right now,
Speaker 1: and the offensive line was having a tough time yesterday.
Speaker 1: I know a couple of the boys who have been
Speaker 1: playing actually pretty good ball had a really tough time.
Speaker 1: And if you're like, all right, let's go out and
Speaker 1: get a tackle, we got to go get a tackle.
Speaker 1: Nick's been hurt, he had the shoulder, he's out for
Speaker 1: the season. We don't know what we're doing at left tackle. Well,
Speaker 1: you look at the free agent market next year. Who's
Speaker 1: going to be a free agent that's worth getting. Jonah Williams.
Speaker 1: Jonah Williams Now no, jordanh And I had him back
Speaker 1: and forth because I said something about in a podcast
Speaker 1: how the Bengals need a left tackle and he DM
Speaker 1: ME is like, I hope you're kidding. And I was like,
Speaker 1: we'll tell your girlfriend to stop texting me type stuff,
Speaker 1: as if the Bengals were their girlfriends, and I was
Speaker 1: I was kind of joking. But you know, he I
Speaker 1: think he's not even on the He's not on the
Speaker 1: Bengals anymore. Right, He's hurt, He's hurt. I saw another one,
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown, Tyron Smith. Dwyn Brown's been in the league
Speaker 1: for so long, Tyron Smith, but both great players. For
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith for sure, a Hall of Famer, Daye Brown
Speaker 1: might also be a Hall of Famer as well. But
Speaker 1: you need to get guys in there that are like studs,
Speaker 1: and do you go draft because you also need to
Speaker 1: help a receiver and the defense hasn't hasn't been playing
Speaker 1: that great either, So it's just tough and looking at
Speaker 1: it with the critical eyes. Fucking hard.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: It's hard because you want I want the Titans to
Speaker 1: do well. I want them to crush it.
Speaker 5: But it's.
Speaker 1: What's the best thing for the Titans tanking, which they're
Speaker 1: not gonna do. If they're not gonna try and do
Speaker 1: at least they might still do it.
Speaker 6: But I am We're three and one at home. We
Speaker 6: have the Panthers next week or this week.
Speaker 1: You'll beat the Panthers.
Speaker 6: It seems like a pretty reasonable game to win. And
Speaker 6: then we just have a bunch of divisional games too,
Speaker 6: stacked in the last month of the game, I mean
Speaker 6: of the season, so.
Speaker 4: Who knows.
Speaker 1: Tough, Yeah, Panthers, you win that game that gets you
Speaker 1: farther and farther away. Offensive lineman or Marvin Harrison Junior?
Speaker 4: Who do you want offensive lineman?
Speaker 6: You saw in the last two weeks how many times
Speaker 6: will has been pressured. You don't need our rookie QB
Speaker 6: taking that many hits, feeling like the non confidence factor. Two.
Speaker 6: You want to have them a little bit of time
Speaker 6: to set up back in that pocket. We'll see obviously
Speaker 6: Marvin Harrison Junior will be a stud, but can't do
Speaker 6: anything if your quarterback can't get the ball out.
Speaker 1: Interesting take Rock Bowers. No, there's stiff, like if you're
Speaker 1: losing games the way you are right now, these are
Speaker 1: all options which you get these like franchise type of dudes.
Speaker 1: Martin Harris Junior, like, we got the we got the
Speaker 1: game this week, and that dude's scary good, scary good.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a lot, man, you know. I mean. Cardinals.
Speaker 1: I think they're down towards the bottom of the list
Speaker 1: right now. I think they're gonna do a whole lot better.
Speaker 1: You saw the way Kyler Murray was kind of dished
Speaker 1: it out. They end up losing to the Houston Texans,
Speaker 1: but I think they're gonna have a better They're gonna
Speaker 1: do better as the season goes, and I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna win win more games than they lose from here
Speaker 1: on out. Who else is the bottom of the pack.
Speaker 1: Bengals are kind of dead right now. I can see
Speaker 1: them just dropping a whole bunch of games now with
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow being out for the season torn ligament in
Speaker 1: the hand. That's tough. Panthers yep, they'll stay at the bottom.
Speaker 1: Giants the bipolar, most bipolar team in the league. After
Speaker 1: last week, Bears. Who the Bears play because they were
Speaker 1: they were in a fight, they end up losing. They
Speaker 1: played somebody last week, I forget who it was.
Speaker 3: Lions.
Speaker 1: That was a good game, and the Lions Dan Campbell,
Speaker 1: that's coach of the year right now in our heads, right,
Speaker 1: gotta be coach of the year. And he's in an
Speaker 1: absolute slugfest with the Bears now division rival. Who knows
Speaker 1: how much that plays a factor. If the Boys are
Speaker 1: sleepwalking a little bit, I don't know. Patriots, they're gonna
Speaker 1: stay towards the bottom of the list. So now you're
Speaker 1: looking at that, you know you want you for sure
Speaker 1: want to be in the top ten. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: in the top ten, brother, if it keeps going the
Speaker 1: way it is. But it's hard because the Bucks they're
Speaker 1: gonna win games. Commanders, they're weird, but they're gonna win games.
Speaker 1: The Jets, I don't know what the fuck the Jets
Speaker 1: are doing right now. They got quarterback issues up the ass.
Speaker 1: They benched Zack Wilson yesterday. They bring in was it
Speaker 1: Boyd Boyle bring him boil. He didn't do a whole
Speaker 1: lot better either, right, Zach Wilson is being Zach Wilson. O.
Speaker 1: They just announced it. Yeah, and it's like, now, this
Speaker 1: Cinderella story of Aaron Rodgers coming back after a torn
Speaker 1: achilles in December, it's like, don't don't you gotta win
Speaker 1: unless you win this week against the Dolphins and puts
Speaker 1: you in a position fight for something like what are
Speaker 1: we coming back for? Other than how insane of a
Speaker 1: story that would be. But I think it's even better
Speaker 1: if we just see him come back and practice on
Speaker 1: the football field. And as a Jets fan, you sit there,
Speaker 1: You're like, man, I can't wait for next year, because
Speaker 1: that's where you get when he gets towards the bottom
Speaker 1: of this list. I've been three and thirteen, I've been
Speaker 1: to and fourteen. I haven't been there as a fan watching,
Speaker 1: But as a player, you want to win every game.
Speaker 1: The boys are gonna do everything he can to win
Speaker 1: every single game. But for the greater good, you got
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna start getting older. Jeffrey Simmons is
Speaker 1: the study's gonna start getting older. What happens with Derek
Speaker 1: Henry the end this year? He's a free agent. Is
Speaker 1: he stay Probably not. He's probably not a Titan next year.
Speaker 1: You know, you see them and not using him as much.
Speaker 1: I think he ran the ball thirteen times for thirty
Speaker 1: eight yards. Couldn't get into that fourth or fifth step
Speaker 1: you have in troubles on the offensive line. Treylan Burks
Speaker 1: has been hurt. DeAndre Hopkins has a big game a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, and DeAndre Hopkins is a study. He'll
Speaker 1: continue to be a stud. I hope he's on the
Speaker 1: team next year. But you know, you got to get
Speaker 1: Levis protection to get the ball to Hopkins. But you
Speaker 1: don't want just the one guy being Hopkins because Treylan
Speaker 1: Burks the last two years has shown that he's got
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. It's a it's a tough world. We're
Speaker 1: living in a Titan fans, which we essentially have to
Speaker 1: uh instill our trust and ran and hope to God.
Speaker 1: We use the phrase cook goes up and coats up,
Speaker 1: cooks up a nice five star meal during the off
Speaker 1: season is a wild deal out here, bro, It's a
Speaker 1: wild deal. Let's hit the twisted question and then let's
Speaker 1: jump into some college football, specifically just Michigan. Are we
Speaker 1: really twist the question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we can do mine. Mind might be a
Speaker 3: quick one.
Speaker 1: But all right, twisting question is brought to you. Go ahead, bum.
Speaker 5: Is the.
Speaker 4: We don't have.
Speaker 1: Break take cool?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 1: Twist question is brought to you by Twist the Tea,
Speaker 1: the smoothest hard, hard iced tea out there for perfect parties, tailgaming,
Speaker 1: holiday seasons right around the corner. Do you wake up
Speaker 1: in the morning, you're off work, snows on the ground,
Speaker 1: Why not grab a twisted tea and get spicy early
Speaker 1: dude college game days, keep it twisted with twisted tea.
Speaker 1: Grab a refreshing twisted tea today. Go ahead, and Mitch, Now,
Speaker 1: we had a little trouble last week. Did you reach
Speaker 1: out to the internet or did you?
Speaker 7: Is this you Jack reached out to the internet for me,
Speaker 7: but I also thought of one or found one.
Speaker 3: But I would like if Jack pulled.
Speaker 5: Up the tweets as well.
Speaker 4: The internet man.
Speaker 7: All right, so the one I found or thought of
Speaker 7: or whatever? Would you rather? Would you rather be able
Speaker 7: to see ghosts but not interact with them, or be
Speaker 7: able to interact and talk with them but you can't
Speaker 7: really you can't see him.
Speaker 1: I think that's an easy answer. I'd rather be able
Speaker 1: to interact with them and not see them, because if
Speaker 1: you're just seeing ghost and you can't interact with them,
Speaker 1: that's just more scary than anything else, like what are
Speaker 1: they up to, what's the what's their motive? Why are
Speaker 1: you over here? Kind of just poisedly drag your little
Speaker 1: gowned across the floor as I'm trying to go to
Speaker 1: bed tonight, you know, with conversation. Yeah, it's a little
Speaker 1: nerve wracking that you can't see him, But at the
Speaker 1: same time I'm able to, Hey, what are we up to? Brother?
Speaker 1: We come in peace or we guys got a bit
Speaker 1: of an issue here. Don't even grab the holy water
Speaker 1: in the cross and start doing an extracism or what.
Speaker 1: So for me, that's that's an easy boy right there.
Speaker 1: That's simple about you, Jackie.
Speaker 6: What you're doing, was it talk to ghosts and not
Speaker 6: see him or see ghost and I talk to him essentially?
Speaker 4: What was your answer?
Speaker 1: I would rather not see them and be able to
Speaker 1: interact with them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, because if you can see them
Speaker 6: and not interact, there's kind of like a weird creepy
Speaker 6: factor there.
Speaker 4: If you can just talk to him.
Speaker 6: I bet majority of ghosts are pretty good people, spirits,
Speaker 6: you'd like to think so, yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 6: there's always bad seeds, but I do think that. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I'd rather I'd rather get some knowledge instead of just
Speaker 6: like imagine if you just saw a ghost but you
Speaker 6: can't interact with it, communicate and just like sitting in
Speaker 6: there and it's like that to me.
Speaker 4: Is off putting.
Speaker 6: I'd rather have someone hearing someone talk and not seeing
Speaker 6: them seems like an easy answer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, was there anything that grabbed your eye from the internet?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Give me, I got time. This is what I have
Speaker 1: to do today, Mitch. What how do you feel like
Speaker 1: getting drunk on the job?
Speaker 7: Not very good about it. I mean I'm still sort
Speaker 7: of like wondering if Will and I are okay?
Speaker 1: No, you and Will are fine. Don't worry about that
Speaker 1: at all. It would be a ridiculous thing because at
Speaker 1: the end of the day you still wit to Did.
Speaker 4: You draw that? That might be a good one.
Speaker 6: What's up if you if you could transform into an animal,
Speaker 6: would you rather be a pet like if amesticated animal
Speaker 6: or a wild animal? And that comes from Hayden Understore
Speaker 6: ClOH eighty two on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I would rather be a wild animal. I think be
Speaker 1: in domesticated animal. If I'm a predator, I'm a wolf
Speaker 1: or a polar bear top of the food chain type stuff,
Speaker 1: or just a bear. In general. There's the issue of
Speaker 1: scavenging for your own food and making sure you have
Speaker 1: to stay alive, and it's.
Speaker 4: And think about disease. Like you there's no vets out
Speaker 4: in the wild.
Speaker 6: If you're domesticated dog or something, you're getting fed, you know,
Speaker 6: two square meals a day. You're sleeping whenever you want.
Speaker 6: If you get sick, you're going to the doctor immediately.
Speaker 1: Right That's what the good owner did?
Speaker 4: You make a dog in your house?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I would not want to be there right
Speaker 1: now because I'm war with my dog. No. I I
Speaker 1: think about what if you get a bad dog owner?
Speaker 1: How much animal abuse? What do we hear about on
Speaker 1: the daily, So you're a good dog owner. I unfortunately
Speaker 1: am a good dog owner, even though I'm having a
Speaker 1: hard time with my animals right now. So they're getting loved,
Speaker 1: they're getting affection, they're getting their resources they need when
Speaker 1: they're needed. But man, I think about, like, not all
Speaker 1: people are good and I don't get to choose that.
Speaker 1: So if you're put in that position like you just
Speaker 1: got to be a dog getting beat up on or
Speaker 1: getting neglected or whatever. And that's tough for me out
Speaker 1: in the wild. Your boy's making his own rules. I'm
Speaker 1: out there. I'm able to, you know, rely on myself
Speaker 1: and myself alone. And if I would be able to
Speaker 1: be a part of a cool wolf pack rip around,
Speaker 1: I ain't gotta be the alpha wolf. I may hang
Speaker 1: out for a little bit. Let me chill with the boys.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang out. You want to listen to me,
Speaker 1: I'll help you hunt. I'm a great role player in
Speaker 1: that situation. I'm a social guy. So probably some sort
Speaker 1: of social pack animal. You gotta be a predator, yeah,
Speaker 1: or it could be sick. Orca would be sick. That
Speaker 1: might be the most perfect one to pick.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's literally the biggest apex predator in the ocean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, except for the megal of don you just don't
Speaker 1: see him. Yeah, but I think Orca is great. You're smart,
Speaker 1: you are great at hunting. You're rolling with a pod
Speaker 1: the whole time. That's a great pick. I'm taking Orca.
Speaker 1: Good pick, great pick. What are you going to be?
Speaker 1: Are you staying with domesticated.
Speaker 4: No, probably wild animal?
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, there we go.
Speaker 4: But yeah, orc it too.
Speaker 6: I mean i'm my Twitter followers, now, I'm work a gang.
Speaker 6: I run deep in the work the world.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, brother, I might go domesticated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even after all that, Yeah.
Speaker 3: It might just be like a golden retriever or something.
Speaker 3: Just be the goodest boy.
Speaker 6: You'd be like so many stipulations. It's like, do you
Speaker 6: have a good home for you're domesticated? Are you a
Speaker 6: dog or a cat? Or are you like simple as
Speaker 6: like a beta fish just sitting on someone's shelf.
Speaker 3: Right, well, you get to pick no.
Speaker 4: I mean this is a hypothetical question, so we make
Speaker 4: the rules.
Speaker 1: We're making the rules out here. Who who had that question?
Speaker 1: That was Hayden Cloe shout out Hayden Kloe, Hayden underscore
Speaker 1: Cloe eighty two. Good for you, brother, good pick good pick.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys interacting with the boys on the social medias.
Speaker 1: But yeah, dude, yeah for sure, wild animal for sure.
Speaker 1: I just you just that way. Even if you're in
Speaker 1: a tough position as a wild animal, you can kind
Speaker 1: of figure your own way out of it. As a
Speaker 1: domesticated animal, you're at the mercy of how good your
Speaker 1: onerous and that is. That is tough. It's almost as
Speaker 1: tough as having symptoms of add and if you do,

Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to pick this thing up.
Speaker 1: I might take one of these. Actually, because you guys
Speaker 1: heard about my weekend. That was an awesome time. That
Speaker 1: was a good time, a riperrrn time. Speaking of riperrn times,
Speaker 1: this weekend, I will be traveling to ann Arbor, Michigan.
Speaker 1: I'll be bringing Mitch Carsley the booze bag himself. We
Speaker 1: will be headed out to ann Arbor. He is a
Speaker 1: We know about Mitch, we know the kind of front
Speaker 1: Runner fan he is, so probably wearing Michigan gear when
Speaker 1: we're there, at least he should absolutely be. We've been
Speaker 1: granted with sideline passes. Shout out Dave, Dave abloff Man.
Speaker 1: They are going through a whirlwind of issues up there
Speaker 1: with the allegations all that stuff. They're running around trying
Speaker 1: to figure it out, and I know Dave is super
Speaker 1: busy trying to clear the name of the University of
Speaker 1: Michigan because they've done nothing wrong with their just allegations.
Speaker 1: So shout out Dave for that. Man. We're gonna go
Speaker 1: check out the game, do a little bit of a
Speaker 1: loog last minute trip too, because I will. I asked
Speaker 1: you about what a month ago, if it was a possibility.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I told you that. I said I was
Speaker 7: gonna be in town for Thanksgiving. So we were gonna
Speaker 7: go last year, but something last minute. It was way
Speaker 7: too last minute to kind of figure it out.
Speaker 1: But this year, yeah, we did College Game Day and
Speaker 1: that was that was very cool. We also got the
Speaker 1: College Football Show, Barsol's College Football Show's gona be out there.
Speaker 1: Text a day of the minute, this out there, Like, Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to be a part of that. He hit
Speaker 1: me back, said, we'll find a place for you. So
Speaker 1: I'm fired up on that. That's gonna be awesome. Big
Speaker 1: EV's gonna be out there. We have ourselves a nice
Speaker 1: little bet about that game. If he wins, if if
Speaker 1: Ohio State wins, he's able to do some bullshit like
Speaker 1: I think it's like do his fantasy draft at my pool.
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, Bud, you could actually just came
Speaker 1: and did that. But if that's what you want to do.
Speaker 1: And at Michigan wins, he's got to put on I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make it. I'm gonna give a tail law on jersey.
Speaker 1: He's got to got to put that thing on. And
Speaker 1: then seeing the victors in it, which I'm gonna love
Speaker 1: him squeeze into that tight little jersey is just gonna
Speaker 1: make my heart sing, gonna absolutely sing. So that game though, man,
Speaker 1: it's it's scary, it's scary, but I have full confidence
Speaker 1: the University Mission's gonna be able to pull that thing off.
Speaker 1: Those guys are dialed and JJ. The last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks not the best showing that Penn State obviously, I
Speaker 1: mean he was actually only seven for eight with like
Speaker 1: sixty four yards. Is actually not a bad showing it
Speaker 1: off for the amount of times he threw the ball.
Speaker 1: But this past week against Maryland one eight right through
Speaker 1: his first pick since he did against Bowling green Gate
Speaker 1: gives him four picks on the year. But here's what
Speaker 1: I'll say about that is Maryland was the trappist the
Speaker 1: trap games. If you go back to August when we're
Speaker 1: reviewing all these games in the season, what did I say,
Speaker 1: I say, Mission's going twelve to zero. The scariest game
Speaker 1: on the schedule is Maryland. He's gonna beat Penn State
Speaker 1: the way they beat Penn State. Essentially, then you can
Speaker 1: go to Maryland or they yeah, they went to Maryland,
Speaker 1: and then you're you're gonna be sleepwalking. Everyone's talking about
Speaker 1: the game already. College game. He releases a week early
Speaker 1: when I think they usually released week up that they're
Speaker 1: going to this X, Y and Z spot. They said, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're going We're going to an arbor for the game
Speaker 1: of two teams that are eleven and zero buying for
Speaker 1: a playoff spot and a Bay ten champion Beay ten
Speaker 1: East contender. So all eyes were already on the game.
Speaker 1: They squeak it out. Who cares like, throw that one
Speaker 1: to the win, throw the stats the wind on that one.
Speaker 1: We're in ann Arbor. We have Ryan Day's number. I
Speaker 1: like Ryan Day. I do. I'm getting to meet him
Speaker 1: in the spring tour in Columbus. I enjoyed being around him.
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. This week though, fuck Ryan Day,
Speaker 1: but fuck Columbus, Ohio. And the weird thing is, I
Speaker 1: know I go off every year Michigan State plays Michigan
Speaker 1: or Michigan plays Michigan State, and I say, oh, fuck
Speaker 1: you guys, blah blah blah, and they bring up you.
Speaker 1: I was one and three and they get a forty
Speaker 1: three rushing yards. I don't like Michigan State. I think
Speaker 1: the a's a shitty school. I think it's a shitty program.
Speaker 1: I don't like them. They're disrespectful. William Golsen punched me
Speaker 1: in the face one time. That's never sat well with
Speaker 1: me since then. I just do not like them. There's
Speaker 1: a level of respect that I do have for a
Speaker 1: Hoa state. Am I gonna boast and kind of build
Speaker 1: it up a little bit more? Yeah, because we're playing
Speaker 1: the game of social media. Baby, I'm gonna talk about it.
Speaker 1: But if you listen to this show, if you're a
Speaker 1: Tier one, you've stuck with us in this hour before
Speaker 1: the Day of White podcast, you know, listen. I respect
Speaker 1: Oho State, I do, but fuck Oha State. Do we
Speaker 1: have anything else? Oh? And also we got to talk
Speaker 1: about Nebraska Iowa. Nebraska five and six right now, five
Speaker 1: and six. When Will said nine and four season I
Speaker 1: said six and six. I sat here in August it
Speaker 1: said six and six. Now they've dropped three in a row,
Speaker 1: four in a row, and they were up fourteen zero
Speaker 1: vers Wisconsin. Everything was looking good. Young Perty was out
Speaker 1: there slinging it around, and it just didn't go their way.
Speaker 1: Now they gotta go play an Iowa team who's already
Speaker 1: clinched the Big ten West. It's tough, bro, It's so
Speaker 1: tough for me to sit here and tell these people
Speaker 1: that Nebraska's gonna win this game. But I am. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and tell you we need this for
Speaker 1: so many reasons. One will's wellbeing Nebraska whether they win
Speaker 1: or lose. They're already training in the right direction because
Speaker 1: they won one more game than it did last year.
Speaker 1: But we need to save Matt Rule because Matt Rule
Speaker 1: is becoming the quote guy, the guy that just says
Speaker 1: the quotes and it sounds super awesome and it makes
Speaker 1: the big headlines, but they're not winning games. We need
Speaker 1: a couple of dubs out of Matt Rule. We need
Speaker 1: to get into a bowl game because if we get
Speaker 1: into a ball game, you get that monkey off your
Speaker 1: back of being like, you know, looked at us a
Speaker 1: super shitty program, and now you're able to say, hey,
Speaker 1: we've made a We've officially made a ball game. We're
Speaker 1: training the right direction, and watch out for us in
Speaker 1: two three years. That's what we need for Nebraska. And
Speaker 1: I like Matt Ruhle. I think, you know, maybe he
Speaker 1: was colluding with ruggers in Ohio State trying to steal
Speaker 1: Michigan signs. But you know that'll all come out. That's
Speaker 1: I'll steal allegations. So I think it's gonna go. Uh.
Speaker 1: I hope it goes Nebraska's way. I really do, because
Speaker 1: we look out for the boy and his well being.
Speaker 1: I think all if it all works out, we might
Speaker 1: be head of the Big Ten championship as well. The
Speaker 1: week after that win, Michigan wins. Yeah, boys, we need
Speaker 1: to uh a couple more things, a couple more things.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you out of here real quick. Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Have a hell of a Thanksgiving. It's a great time.
Speaker 1: The day after Thanksgiving, we're jumping into Christmas. My family's
Speaker 1: already just completely disobeyed me and jumped into that. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's see what we're thankful for. I'm thankful for Jack
Speaker 1: taking that elf. Someone spend sixty thousand dollars to take
Speaker 1: him down. That's what I'm thankful for right now. Go ahead, Mitch.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, actually something legit, but if you
Speaker 3: were going to no, no.
Speaker 1: No, I'll say something else after.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Mitch, I'll get real.
Speaker 7: I'm thankful for obviously this being our job, like just
Speaker 7: being able to come here and kind of escape like
Speaker 7: the like what's going on in your personal life, because
Speaker 7: the last six months my personal life has been a
Speaker 7: bit of in shambles, So being able to come here
Speaker 7: and kind of forget what's going on and just kind
Speaker 7: of hang with the boys and shoot the ship and
Speaker 7: do the stuff that we do and travel everywhere like
Speaker 7: you can't. You're not gonna be able to do this
Speaker 7: at any other job. So I'm super super thankful for that.
Speaker 7: And also just like another friends and family, like being heavy,
Speaker 7: relying on the friends and everybody's like by my side
Speaker 7: these This year just been a rough year for the kid,
Speaker 7: but like in just the family, you know, you can
Speaker 7: just pick up the phone, call them whenever, just say
Speaker 7: what's up, checking in on you, just kind of stuff
Speaker 7: like that. So thank for you guys, and you you
Speaker 7: like the bust and boys themselves, and also the friends
Speaker 7: and family.
Speaker 3: So happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll say about that, man, I have seen
Speaker 1: the last helpless as two years be here now became
Speaker 1: September Sotember twenty twenty two. Here's what I say about
Speaker 1: you is when you came in, we already had a
Speaker 1: really good core group of guys that all had a
Speaker 1: great relationship. And watching you take the time to integrate
Speaker 1: into this group and not just kind of bull dozing
Speaker 1: your way in and you know whatever, which is not
Speaker 1: your personality. You've done an amazing job of navigating a
Speaker 1: new workspace and becoming a critical part of this team.
Speaker 1: And we do appreciate you obviously you can always lean
Speaker 1: on the boys. We love you to death. And so
Speaker 1: I'm I'm super grateful for what you're grateful for, because
Speaker 1: this is what it's all about, brother, keeping the locker
Speaker 1: room alive, Jackie.
Speaker 6: I'm thankful for the obvious suff friends, family, family, specifically
Speaker 6: my younger brother from Hawaii. He came back last week
Speaker 6: and we got to surprise my mom for her birthday,
Speaker 6: which is really special. Sho had no idea. So he's
Speaker 6: in town. My older sister who lives in Tampa with
Speaker 6: my brother in law, and my niece are coming in
Speaker 6: town this week so and it's her first birthday. We're
Speaker 6: having a birthday party this Saturday. So really so really
Speaker 6: excited to be around them. And then I'm most thankful
Speaker 6: for ugly Christmas sweaters.
Speaker 1: Oh very nice Pa.
Speaker 4: In the barstools store.
Speaker 6: And also help the boys in the back pay for
Speaker 6: Christmas gifts because we get a little extra added bonus
Speaker 6: if you know, if it goes well.
Speaker 1: So Christmas sweater, what a beautiful Yeah.
Speaker 6: Just thankful for life to be able to get up
Speaker 6: every day and breathe and walk nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'll tell you what, Jack, You've showed a lot
Speaker 1: of growth, not just in the last how long ever
Speaker 1: long I've known you, Bet, specifically these last six months
Speaker 1: you've been you've been crushing it. The emotions, the consistency
Speaker 1: of your emotions, I will say, has been so much better.
Speaker 4: Thanks man.
Speaker 1: It has been an awesome thing to see. From a
Speaker 1: I guess a a churity standpoint, You've really you've grown
Speaker 1: in a big way.
Speaker 6: Day by day Because they're they're slip ups, brick by brick.
Speaker 6: Just remember that anyone listening, which I'm sure there's six
Speaker 6: and a half people still listening right now who haven't just.
Speaker 4: Skipped over to go other date interview.
Speaker 6: But day by day you're gonna have good days, you
Speaker 6: gonna have bad days, you know, two steps forward, one
Speaker 6: step back.
Speaker 4: Live by that it works.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Christmas sweaters though, by.
Speaker 1: Them, by them, I love it. Thankfulness, thankfulness. First thing
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for is uh my family. Obviously getting this
Speaker 1: last year since February when I was essentially cut by
Speaker 1: the Titans and having this transition of life. I have
Speaker 1: seen the growth in the relationships I have with Taylor
Speaker 1: and I have always had a phenomenlationship, but my kids
Speaker 1: and I could tell with football there was a relate.
Speaker 1: There was a little a piece of our relationship that
Speaker 1: was lacking, not in like a you know, not not
Speaker 1: being around type of dad, but just not as president
Speaker 1: as I should be. And so for me to be
Speaker 1: able to, like, I guess see them warm up to
Speaker 1: me in a place where I can feel good about
Speaker 1: being the present father that I thought I was and
Speaker 1: really realizing how I am now even if all the
Speaker 1: traveling were doing. It's that That's probably what I'm number
Speaker 1: one most grateful for by far. Those kids are do
Speaker 1: to the best. They are the are the best, and
Speaker 1: I'm doing my best not to get emotional about it
Speaker 1: because we do need to transition to this podcast, but
Speaker 1: it is there's nothing like being a dad, and there's
Speaker 1: nothing like like I went and drop my kids off
Speaker 1: today at school and we're a little late. We were
Speaker 1: a little late today someone forgot to brush their teeth
Speaker 1: and not going to say who it was, and we
Speaker 1: took an extra five minutes and we end up being
Speaker 1: in commntally to school. But as I was leaving, my
Speaker 1: youngest daughter, who was born when I had my first
Speaker 1: acl and kind of took the brunt of you know,
Speaker 1: my lack of presence, turns around halfway and runs over
Speaker 1: to me and hugs me, and to me, I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: it's just so great to see the intentional steps paying
Speaker 1: off with the relationship, because that is the most important thing.
Speaker 1: Jordan Peters talks about it all the time. That's the
Speaker 1: most important relationship you can have is with your kids.
Speaker 1: So I'm super grateful for that. We're gonna get you
Speaker 1: into this podcast real quick but quick announcement. Bet the
Speaker 1: Bus and Slip Some Picks. Yes, we'll be coming out
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Where so tomorrow we're gonna film will and
Speaker 1: I are both gonna be on Bet the Bus payoff
Speaker 1: Willie Louis locks both on Bet the Bus, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna have uh, we're gonna film Slips and Picks. Slips
Speaker 1: and Picks usually comes out on Thursday. People say, I
Speaker 1: see the comments all the time. Hey, great show, we
Speaker 1: love the show. It's an amazing show. Let's get some
Speaker 1: numbers to reflect that a little bit. Let's get the
Speaker 1: numbers to reflect that because it's an overwhelmingly positive comment section.

Speaker 1: boys we're actually winning some money, which is wild. First
Speaker 1: year of betting and this has been awesome. And so
Speaker 1: right after that, so Wednesday bet the bus slip and picks.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about sport clips for a second. Your hair
Speaker 1: made grow fast, but after going to sport clip haircuts,
Speaker 1: you'll wish they grew even faster. That's because sport clips
Speaker 1: has the best seats in the hair and that may
Speaker 1: or may not be because they happen to be right
Speaker 1: in front of TVs playing sports all day every day.
Speaker 1: We know, watching sports while getting a haircut sure beats
Speaker 1: watching your reflection get a haircut, which is why sport

Speaker 5: it was battleish. I should have read all the fucking
Speaker 5: signs that said the gambling gods are telling you to

Speaker 5: I had my conscience over here on my left side saying, hey,
Speaker 5: you're breaking the rules. Go in, and it just fucking
Speaker 5: you know. We would go, we'd get a little deep
Speaker 5: and I get right there and almost be out. I
Speaker 5: mean at one point we're like one hand away and
Speaker 5: we were out. And and it was like I couldn't
Speaker 5: win a double down last night to save my fucking life.
Speaker 5: And if I got a twenty, it meant I was
Speaker 5: gonna lose. I lost every fucking twenty I got last night.
Speaker 5: Think about that, losing twenty. When you get a twenty,
Speaker 5: you're supposed to be excited. When I got twenty, I
Speaker 5: got to a point home where I said, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: lose his hand.
Speaker 1: Right, and then Navy showing like a four and then
Speaker 1: like six cards later twenty one, the.
Speaker 2: First time doing it around Dana two like watching it happen.
Speaker 2: That was kind of the theme of the night as well.
Speaker 2: He's bow, oh, you're gonna fuck and beat me anyway,
Speaker 2: even though I got nineteen or twenty.
Speaker 1: That's just how it works watch Boys. And then he
Speaker 1: ends up losing. He gets off because the funny thing
Speaker 1: is too mister positive when he walks in, keep the
Speaker 1: high energy, keep good, and then get down a couple
Speaker 1: that like this motherfucker right here, go ahead and flip
Speaker 1: it over. Yeah, yeah, there was one guy the last night. Tom.
Speaker 5: You can you can literally say exactly what they're gonna
Speaker 5: do when the cards turn this way. You know what's
Speaker 5: gonna happen. Literally everything that I would say would happen
Speaker 5: if I had a fourteen I'd get to ten. If
Speaker 5: I had an eleven, I'd get the four for a
Speaker 5: double down, you know what I mean, Just yeah, clockwork.
Speaker 1: It was a It was a wild deal to the
Speaker 1: point too, where we're pushing seven figures at one point
Speaker 1: and down, up, down, and a buffet comes in, like
Speaker 1: they literally like rolled in all all the little butler's
Speaker 1: roll in with all the food and he takes a
Speaker 1: nice little he takes a break, eats his food, and
Speaker 1: he's like, I gotta get out of here pretty soon.
Speaker 1: I can't do the late night because nothing reason. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, This a refel refeel day. Because
Speaker 1: when I was back here in August for Power Slap,
Speaker 1: I was on. I mean, I think I won seven
Speaker 1: eight times in a row, and to the point where
Speaker 1: it's getting numb that I was like, I don't think
Speaker 1: if you're with me, I don't think I can lose.
Speaker 1: And then then there's guys, there are the night different circumstances,
Speaker 1: and I end up losing a whole bunch of money,
Speaker 1: and the fact that you've taken it personal where you're
Speaker 1: like we're sitting there, he's down. You know, we'll say
Speaker 1: five hundred. I have no idea what the number is.
Speaker 1: He looks at me, he goes, how about you down
Speaker 1: We kind of talk about it a little bit, and
Speaker 1: he goes, we're going to make back all that money.
Speaker 1: No problem. You're in the middle of a war right now,
Speaker 1: you're talking about the next war we got to go
Speaker 1: go through. It's wild. But the way this all started
Speaker 1: was us meeting at the super Bowl and then you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you guys should come out to Power Slap and the
Speaker 1: explosion that has happened with Power Slap, Like, how does
Speaker 1: did you expect that to go the way it has.
Speaker 1: You knew is obviously going to be successful, but it's
Speaker 1: gone to a crazy degree.
Speaker 5: At this point, I looked at it, you know, and
Speaker 5: I was like, holy fuck, this whole thing doesn't make sense.
Speaker 5: How is this pulling these kind of numbers? And then
Speaker 5: you start to think, well, what if I did it,
Speaker 5: because I know I'm going to do it better than
Speaker 5: anybody else can do it, what would that mean? And
Speaker 5: then and then here we are ten months later, and
Speaker 5: this thing is a fucking monster. Man, It's just an
Speaker 5: absolute monster. And we sit here every day and we
Speaker 5: look at the numbers when we when we when we
Speaker 5: do an event, whether it was one, two, three, four
Speaker 5: or five. And the stuff that goes gets posted socially.
Speaker 5: It's just we watch it every day. So it was
Speaker 5: two days ago. Aj, you know, our little social media
Speaker 5: queen that runs all the social media for us. She's
Speaker 5: hit me up and she says, uh, yeah, the Shena
Speaker 5: post is at one hundred and five million right now
Speaker 5: and this was how many weeks ago? Huh three weeks
Speaker 5: ago it's at one hundred and five million. In three
Speaker 5: weeks the Shena slap right and we're talking, she goes
Speaker 5: it just went to one hundred and six while we're
Speaker 5: on the phone. So then that night we had a
Speaker 5: power Slap meeting. It was at one hundred and ten
Speaker 5: we when we had the meeting that night about Powerslap.
Speaker 5: So every fucking day the thing goes up millions millions
Speaker 5: of years.
Speaker 2: Is that where a lot of the money and stuff
Speaker 2: is made is through more social so than the viewing
Speaker 2: live on Rumble and stuff like that, because I think
Speaker 2: a lot of people have like a idea that it's like, oh, how.
Speaker 1: Can it be successful?
Speaker 2: It's like this isn't that great of this and that,
Speaker 2: But obviously through social media because.
Speaker 5: You have no idea what you're doing, and you have
Speaker 5: no idea what you're fucking talking about. All these all
Speaker 5: you people that are fucking talking shitn't especially the media.
Speaker 5: I love the me. If the media tells you you've
Speaker 5: got something that that's gonna fail, it's definitely gonna fucking win.
Speaker 5: The media the dumbest know nothing, do nothing, never fucking
Speaker 5: build nothing motherfuckers on planet Earth. So when they say
Speaker 5: it isn't gonna work, you got a fucking home run, man,
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Jump in and grind the
Speaker 5: media these guys. Think about who these people are. When
Speaker 5: you really think about the media, who are they, Where
Speaker 5: did they come from? Why does their opinion matter? What
Speaker 5: have they ever done, what if they ever created? What
Speaker 5: have they ever built? Who's ever depended on a paycheck
Speaker 5: from the media? Nobody. They are a bunch of fucking
Speaker 5: zeros that sit around and write stories about people who
Speaker 5: are actually doing shit. It's fucking fascinating.
Speaker 1: Think about it.
Speaker 5: It's not a fascinating concept. People who have never done
Speaker 5: a fucking thing in their life ever sit around and
Speaker 5: write about people.
Speaker 1: Who are What got you to that?
Speaker 5: Who gives a flying fuck what any of those zeros
Speaker 5: have to say about anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm right, absolutely fascinating.
Speaker 5: So anyway, so no, we we we make money off
Speaker 5: just like any other sports property. We make money off
Speaker 5: our television rights, we make money off sponsorship, we make
Speaker 5: money off video games, licensing, all that stuff. I am
Speaker 5: leaving here when we're done, and I'm striving straight to
Speaker 5: for Tita enter Rises and we're doing a huge fucking
Speaker 5: story about Power Slap. But that's bj It is the biggest,
Speaker 5: baddest sports fucking story of the year that nobody fucking knows.
Speaker 2: I know that'll that'll be awesome to read about too.
Speaker 2: It's like, from the business standpoint, what's been like, Uh,
Speaker 2: I guess the most exciting thing on making on making
Speaker 2: that business work with power Slape because you FC and
Speaker 2: you know, all these other entertainment businesses, you can kind
Speaker 2: of just see the success based on what the public
Speaker 2: opinion is on it, right, Like you've got great power
Speaker 2: like pay per view fights and everything else. Like, what's
Speaker 2: been challenging or what's been fun about building the business
Speaker 2: of Power Slap since you've acquired it?
Speaker 5: All the things that I love. The negativity, Yeah, you
Speaker 5: know when people come out and say this thing sucks,
Speaker 5: this can't be done, you can't do it. That is
Speaker 5: the ship that gets me out of bed every day.
Speaker 5: And I love every fucking minute of it. And then
Speaker 5: the end result in shoving it right up everybody's ass.
Speaker 5: I fucking love every minute of it. Man. It's the
Speaker 5: best and the only people I'm really talking to about
Speaker 5: this thing. There's some guys out there that that we
Speaker 5: consider friendlies and we do whatever. But the Sports Business Journal,
Speaker 5: it's like in the sports world, they are the you know,
Speaker 5: it's it's what everybody in the industry reads. It's what
Speaker 5: all the sponsors read and everybody else. Monster. The other
Speaker 5: thing that's incredible about this product is when we like
Speaker 5: even the ads, you know, our sponsors, when we post
Speaker 5: something that sponsor driven something, you know, UFC stuff does
Speaker 5: like one point seven million views. Power Slap does fifteen
Speaker 5: or sixteen million views. It's like, so right now this
Speaker 5: year year to date, on TikTok, we're number one through seven, Yeah,
Speaker 5: one through seven, power Slap. On Instagram we're number one,
Speaker 5: NBA's two and three. Power Slap is number four, five
Speaker 5: and six. NBA is like seven and eight, and put
Speaker 5: to put it into perspective. The NBA is eighty million followers,
Speaker 5: NFL is thirty million followers. Just hit two million. We
Speaker 5: just hit two million followers. So we've done all this
Speaker 5: under two million followers.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I don't think people understand like how big
Speaker 2: of a player. Just the social media platforms are, right
Speaker 2: because you're talking about all the views and everything else,
Speaker 2: and you get, you know, the money that's being paid
Speaker 2: and the platform that you're given on like TikTok and
Speaker 2: everything else. It's like, that is where money is, is
Speaker 2: where everybody's attention is, and that's where you've done a
Speaker 2: great job like capitalizing with the business.
Speaker 5: That's not even getting into the fact that we're doing
Speaker 5: four hundred and fifty million views in India, ninety million
Speaker 5: in Russia, and the list just goes on and on
Speaker 5: as I break it into all the different countries. So
Speaker 5: it's like when you talk about you know, people like, well,
Speaker 5: how do you monetize how that's what we do. That's
Speaker 5: what we do. That's that's that's my specialties. You take
Speaker 5: these you know how many times I've been offered people
Speaker 5: will call me up and say, hey, would you like
Speaker 5: to invest in this baseball team? Hey, would you like
Speaker 5: to invest in uh, you know this, We were kick
Speaker 5: we're looking at an NBA team one time, me and
Speaker 5: the Fatida brothers, And the answer is no, I don't
Speaker 5: want anything to do with that shit.
Speaker 3: You know what I like?
Speaker 5: I like taking fringe sports that people think can't be
Speaker 5: built and think can't be and monetizing those and building
Speaker 5: them up into you know, the UFC. It's easy for
Speaker 5: everybody to look back now and go, oh, the UFC. Yeah,
Speaker 5: fucking yeah, if you got into the UFC. When we
Speaker 5: got into the UFC, it was power slab. It was
Speaker 5: looked at right, like fucking power slab. It was actually
Speaker 5: worse because it was actually illegal in some fucking states.
Speaker 5: It was actually illegal to do. This is how bad
Speaker 5: it was with the UFC. At that time, you as
Speaker 5: a grown adult, didn't have the option to buy it
Speaker 5: on pay per view. Porn was on pay per view.
Speaker 5: The UFC was not allowed on pay per view. That's
Speaker 5: how fucking bad it was. So to look at the
Speaker 5: UFC now and go, oh, you have, of course two
Speaker 5: million dollars for the UFC. Shut the fuck up. You
Speaker 5: guys have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: This thing was just hoping.
Speaker 2: You know, at some point you fail and then when
Speaker 2: they got a little moment to try and grab it
Speaker 2: and capitalize on it, right about it and everything else,
Speaker 2: it's like that's the shot everybody tries to take.
Speaker 5: Well, it gets to a point with me where it's
Speaker 5: just like, how many more fucking times are you gonna
Speaker 5: doubt me? And what what what I'm capable of doing?
Speaker 5: You know, we're doing the same thing right now with
Speaker 5: throw one. We don't throw one. I've told you guys
Speaker 5: a million times, you're this. We own ridiculousness, Nitro Circus,
Speaker 5: SLS Skate League, Travis Pastrano's nitral Cross and uh we
Speaker 5: we bought that company like a little over a year
Speaker 5: ago and they're based in California. I'm building offices over
Speaker 5: here right now. We're building them out. These guys will
Speaker 5: be here in the next couple of months, and I'll
Speaker 5: be involved in that. I'm already involved in the daily,
Speaker 5: but we'll be really involved in that in the daily
Speaker 5: when we when we get it over here, get it
Speaker 5: out of California and get it here in Vegas and
Speaker 5: our literally my office connects to their offices. So we're
Speaker 5: gonna that's gonna be a really fun project over the
Speaker 5: next couple of years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I've shown them a bunch of interests.
Speaker 1: I grew up on nitro, circus, supercross, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: That was like the first love of mine before I
Speaker 1: got into organized sports and all. But you talk about
Speaker 1: the mindset and how your essential hate for mainstream media,
Speaker 1: When did you learn about the ins and outs because obviously,
Speaker 1: like this has been you've been in the business forever
Speaker 1: of these these fringe sports and making them what they
Speaker 1: are today. How did you kind of adapt to the
Speaker 1: world with Internet and all that, Like, how did how
Speaker 1: did your mindset change as you kept going?
Speaker 5: Well, I love the Internet, I'm all about I love
Speaker 5: that we can talk directly to our fans with no middlemen.
Speaker 5: Nothing worse than than trying to, you know, do what
Speaker 5: you do and going through a middleman. And you know,
Speaker 5: everything that I really do right now is direct consumer
Speaker 5: I go directly to our consumers and talk to the
Speaker 5: people that want to listen. And realistically, when you look
Speaker 5: at it right now, the two most hated people on
Speaker 5: the planet right now are the media and politicians. Right Yeah,
Speaker 5: nobody trusts them, nobody likes them. They know that most
Speaker 5: of them are lying and there's never been a better
Speaker 5: time for social media then now. And like I said,
Speaker 5: in every way, shape and form and every business that
Speaker 5: we own, I talked directly to our consumers. That's it.
Speaker 1: When you you brought up politicians and you're on the
Speaker 1: you're on uh this past weekend recently with Theovon and
Speaker 1: he brought up like an RFK interview I believe it was,
Speaker 1: and then uh Peloton reached out and said, hey, you
Speaker 1: can't have him on there. And you you essentially went
Speaker 1: on a rant like you did with us about hating
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, how you can't tell people what to do.
Speaker 1: You're telling me about that process last night with the
Speaker 1: Pelotons and all these other bike companies. Like, when did
Speaker 1: you learn that you had the power to essentially take
Speaker 1: away from people saying what you can and can't do
Speaker 1: in your business?
Speaker 5: COVID? Yeah, I mean I knew it before then, but
Speaker 5: where really you know, never well, you know, we went
Speaker 5: through the whole UFC thing first, Yeah, I mean people,
Speaker 5: you know, the mainstream media is shitting all over the
Speaker 5: UFC and how it should be banned and this shouldn't
Speaker 5: exist and blah blah, blah blah blah. Then then here
Speaker 5: comes COVID. You got the you know, fucking goofy New
Speaker 5: York Times and all these other fucking clowns, uh, you know,
Speaker 5: coming out talking shit blasting me every day. They don't matter.
Speaker 5: They don't matter, and they don't have the influence or
Speaker 5: the power that they think they do. You know, and
Speaker 5: you can come out and say whatever you want about
Speaker 5: me and go do whatever you want about me. You
Speaker 5: you determine your future, not people like this. It's like
Speaker 5: that whole fucking cancel culture bullshit and all this stuff
Speaker 5: that goes on. You just it's gotta say fuck you.
Speaker 1: And it seems like you get a thrill out of it, honestly,
Speaker 1: like people trying to come at you is your face.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know if I get a thrill out
Speaker 5: of it, but it's it's what if you want to
Speaker 5: pick a fight with me, let's fucking go. Yeah, let's go. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Taking everything head on. Seems like you're a way about
Speaker 1: doing everything that does seem.
Speaker 5: Like guys that come out and do these things that
Speaker 5: that do these stories on you. Right, who are you?
Speaker 5: What have you done? And are you perfect?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 5: Never fucked up? Never made mistakes. Got any skeletons in
Speaker 5: your closet? Of course they do, you know, of course
Speaker 5: they do. Every We're all fucking human. We've all done
Speaker 5: my New Year's Eve ins in it. Fucking did it happened?
Speaker 5: No excuses, no fucking you know. I could have tried
Speaker 5: to make up tenix. There's no fucking excuse. I did it.
Speaker 5: I admit it, I accept it. Now. What I gotta
Speaker 5: do is I gotta get up every day and I
Speaker 5: gotta at the end of the day, you have to
Speaker 5: live with you. Fuck everybody else and what their opinion
Speaker 5: is of you. You have to know who you are
Speaker 5: and you have to be able to live with yourself.
Speaker 5: I got three fucking kids that I love more than anything,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, And I embarrassed them last
Speaker 5: New Year's Eve. I embarrassed myself. I embarrassed my kids,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So you got to get
Speaker 5: up and you got to look in the fucking mirror,
Speaker 5: say I fucked up, And how do I make sure
Speaker 5: this never happens again?
Speaker 3: Ever?
Speaker 5: And that's it. I mean, You're you're only you're only
Speaker 5: fucking uh. You know, the only one that you have
Speaker 5: to answer to is yourself and the people that care
Speaker 5: about you and love you and your you know, fuck
Speaker 5: everybody else.
Speaker 2: No, And uh, I think it's I think it's cool
Speaker 2: that you're talking about it, because my question is when
Speaker 2: you are going through that, like, how difficult was that moment?
Speaker 2: Because you're somebody, you'll stand up, you'll send in the
Speaker 2: batter's box, you'll swing with the best of them. You
Speaker 2: kind of seem like you can't, you can't chip the armor.
Speaker 2: But when you're cut, you have these philosophies you go
Speaker 2: by because everybody's human, Like you said, like, talk about
Speaker 2: those times where it is like it is super difficult
Speaker 2: things that you lean on. Maybe it's people, maybe it's
Speaker 2: you have a mentor maybe it's a circle, maybe it's
Speaker 2: just your family.
Speaker 1: Like talk about the low part of it.
Speaker 5: There's nobody but you. You find out who's who and
Speaker 5: what's what when shit hits the fan. I say it
Speaker 5: all the time. You know, you'll see the people that
Speaker 5: will reach out to you see if you're good, and
Speaker 5: the people who won't. It's all good, I'm whatever, But
Speaker 5: the only one that you have to fucking worry about
Speaker 5: is you, you yourself, because it's about you. You fucked up?
Speaker 5: Are you? Are you willing to fucking accept the fact
Speaker 5: that you messed up and you have to fix this.
Speaker 5: You are the one that has to get up every
Speaker 5: day and look in the mirror and say that I
Speaker 5: did I do right? That I do wrong? How do
Speaker 5: I make myself be every day? I have this Bruce
Speaker 5: Lee quote everywhere in my house and the gym in
Speaker 5: here and everything about how man every day when you
Speaker 5: got out of Basically, what this quote says is every
Speaker 5: day when you get out of bed, your stride and
Speaker 5: your your your game plan should be to be better
Speaker 5: than you were yesterday, right, And you will have hit plateaus,
Speaker 5: but you must break through them and you must succeed
Speaker 5: to the next level. And I fucking love that shit.
Speaker 5: That is exactly how I live every day of my life,
Speaker 5: whether it's my workout now, my health, my business, my relationships,
Speaker 5: my family. How do you make sure that you're better
Speaker 5: than you worry yesterday? And when you get into these
Speaker 5: situations like I was in on New Year's Eve, it's like,
Speaker 5: so you can do two things. You can run and
Speaker 5: fucking hide, curl up in a ball and let the
Speaker 5: world just fucking beat you to death, or you can
Speaker 5: dig your fucking heels in, you figure out how to
Speaker 5: you know, you have to figure out yourself, and then
Speaker 5: you fucking you dig in and you fight. I literally
Speaker 5: the day we got back from Mexico, I had a
Speaker 5: quote installed on my wall. It says, may God have
Speaker 5: mercy upon my enemies, because I won't. So let's fucking go.
Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: A gambling creed to for bet the bus. May God
Speaker 2: have mercy on the sports. But but you guys, I won't.
Speaker 5: But you've seen these guys, uh, you know, who make
Speaker 5: mistakes and fuck up and do whatever, and the world
Speaker 5: comes after them and they just disappear and they roll
Speaker 5: over and they bow down to whatever the fucking the
Speaker 5: crowd mentality wants from you. You know what I mean,
Speaker 5: We're at the end of the day, we all make mistakes,
Speaker 5: and we're all human. But if you know who you
Speaker 5: really fucking are, and you you know, you don't have
Speaker 5: to explain yourself to the rest of the world. You
Speaker 5: have to explain yourself and make things right with the
Speaker 5: people that are in your inner circle and that of
Speaker 5: your family. But at the end of the day, you
Speaker 5: have to fucking stick up for yourself. If you believe
Speaker 5: in you know what I mean. I see guys that
Speaker 5: that take just a little bit of heat and the
Speaker 5: fucking wheels come off the bus and they you know that,
Speaker 5: they run and hide. It's building the UFC going through
Speaker 5: COVID building slap. I'm not the run and hide fucking guy.
Speaker 5: That's just not who I am.
Speaker 1: And I will never be moving moving forward like it
Speaker 1: seems like that's all you're focused on, is all that,
Speaker 1: and you've really taken your health to like the next level.
Speaker 1: You've seen it. When we first met you at the
Speaker 1: super Bowl this past year, you were showing us photos
Speaker 1: of you and Sloppy guy just kind of seem like
Speaker 1: you're eating whatever, doing whatever, and you've.
Speaker 5: Been singing it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, he always kind of a built cat,
Speaker 1: but you you know there was.
Speaker 5: Some back, sloppy, come on, sloppy going on. He knows photos.
Speaker 1: But you talk about Gary bre never doing this podcast,
Speaker 1: you talk about Gary Brecaman and how he has essentially
Speaker 1: changed your life. How did you get on board with
Speaker 1: a guy like that? How did that whole process happen
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 5: It's a girl named Kerry Case. I don't know if
Speaker 5: you guys are probably too young. But Casey Casem used
Speaker 5: to have a radio show called Casey Kasem's Top Forty.
Speaker 5: Every week he broke down the top forty songs in
Speaker 5: the country. He was also the voice for Scooby Doo
Speaker 5: No Shaggy Shaggy on Scooby Doo. And you know, his
Speaker 5: daughter and I have been friends for many years, and
Speaker 5: she's she's hardcore, but she's kind of a hippie, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean. She's into all the holistic shit.
Speaker 5: I didn't believe in that stuff two years ago. I
Speaker 5: thought it was all a crock of shit. Now it's
Speaker 5: all I believe in. I'm one of these guys, show me,
Speaker 5: prove it to me. You're telling me that it's this way,
Speaker 5: but you have to prove it to me. So I
Speaker 5: finally decide to hook up with this guy because he
Speaker 5: was doing IVS. My son. We went down to Miami
Speaker 5: for his twenty first birthday, so we needed IVY people
Speaker 5: because we're down there doing whatever. And he comes in
Speaker 5: with his team and he does my blood work. When
Speaker 5: he walked me through my blood work, guy had no
Speaker 5: medical history on me or my family or anything. He
Speaker 5: told me everything that was wrong with me. And he
Speaker 5: told me what was wrong with my parents, and he
Speaker 5: was dead on right, and it was a really trippy experience.
Speaker 5: And he basically said, if you listen to me for
Speaker 5: the next twelve weeks, I'll change your whole life. And
Speaker 5: I was like, I can do anything for twelve weeks,
Speaker 5: so I went in. It didn't even take twelve weeks,
Speaker 5: and four weeks I started to feel different and started
Speaker 5: to feel better and some of the things that were
Speaker 5: wrong when we started to go away and all this
Speaker 5: other shit. And then I'm so in on this right now.
Speaker 5: If this guy called me right now said fucking squirt
Speaker 5: hot sauce in your eyes, and you know I would
Speaker 5: fucking do it right. Yeah. This guy is a genius
Speaker 5: and I've seen him help not just me, but so
Speaker 5: many other people, including people that are close to me.
Speaker 5: So he is the real fucking deal. And again, you
Speaker 5: go out on the internet and you hear other people
Speaker 5: you know ever talking about this guy's a scam artists
Speaker 5: and this camera. Okay, then don't do it right. Everybody's
Speaker 5: fucking telling you to fucking do this. Go see your doctor.
Speaker 5: That fucking works out for you. Good luck to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because you had a Uh you had a
Speaker 2: video recently too. Uh hey listen, not a doctor. I'm
Speaker 2: not telling you guys do this, do that, whatever. But
Speaker 2: you did this waterfast and now I'm fascinated from this waterfast.
Speaker 1: What was eighty six I.
Speaker 5: Did eighty six hours, but it's a seventy two hour
Speaker 5: fast and basically it's all water. So this is actually
Speaker 5: this was done by doctors. They they've got studies that
Speaker 5: are done on this out of Boston where if you
Speaker 5: water fast for seven days, it gives you an over
Speaker 5: seventy percent chance of not getting cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and
Speaker 5: many many other nasty shit. They've they've done a study
Speaker 5: in animals and humans. So I talked to Gary about it,
Speaker 5: and Gary's like, it's absolutely legit, and but you don't
Speaker 5: have to do seven days. You can do seventy two hours.
Speaker 5: And you walk me through how to do it, and uh,
Speaker 5: what's crazy about is when you do it, you get
Speaker 5: absolutely fucking shredded. You get so ripped. But that's not
Speaker 5: even what it's about. It's about the inside is what
Speaker 5: you're doing it for. So you know, there's all these philosophies.
Speaker 5: And listen again, I'm no doctor and whatever, I just
Speaker 5: regurgitate what I'm told. And this was from the doctors
Speaker 5: from UH from Boston. So it's like cold plunging. When
Speaker 5: you go into cold plunging and you put your body
Speaker 5: through adversity, Right, you're in fifty degree water for three minutes,
Speaker 5: your body starts to think it's dying, and your body
Speaker 5: fights back. So your liver secretes this shock protein that's
Speaker 5: incredible for your body, inflammation, anti age, all kinds of shit. Right,
Speaker 5: you do that every day, you become absolutely addicted to it.
Speaker 5: So when you do the water fast, basically what happens
Speaker 5: is when you stop eating, your body starts trying to
Speaker 5: defend itself. Are we starving? Are we this? Are we that?
Speaker 5: So it starts shedding all the bad dead cells in
Speaker 5: your body and it starts generating new cells, and it
Speaker 5: starts to fight. Are we gonna starve? Are we going
Speaker 5: to this? That? And that's how it fights cancer and
Speaker 5: all these other nasty illnesses. How does that not make sense?
Speaker 5: And then when you talk about fasting and you talk
Speaker 5: about where we come from and how we've evolved, right
Speaker 5: back in the day, they would go out and hunt
Speaker 5: and kill something, right, there was no refrigeration, there was
Speaker 5: no freezer. You went back and you ate the food
Speaker 5: and you didn't eat again until you hunt it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Right, So these people would essentially fast until they hunted
Speaker 5: again and and eate. How does that not make sense either?
Speaker 5: And when you're sitting on the couch on a podcast
Speaker 5: and you're fucking talking about this, you're like Jesus Christ,
Speaker 5: I don't know if I could not eat for seventy
Speaker 5: two hours, I mean two years Dana two years ago
Speaker 5: would have said, that's fucking ridiculous. Why would I not
Speaker 5: eat for three fucking days unless not without a deserted
Speaker 5: island or something. You know. And then once you do it,
Speaker 5: the level of clarity that you get it's fucking And
Speaker 5: I hate even saying this in front of people, let
Speaker 5: alone on a fucking podcast, because I sound like a
Speaker 5: fucking hippie. But you get into this like zen state,
Speaker 5: you fork like fucking I don't know, man, I don't
Speaker 5: know how to explain it. You have to do it
Speaker 5: to believe it. But fucking erga did it too. A
Speaker 5: lot of the people here now at UFC are doing that,
Speaker 5: are doing that?
Speaker 1: Do you like it? Yeah? For first twenty four hours.
Speaker 5: She just got off it too. I mean, yeah, So
Speaker 5: I don't want to throw her personal shit out there,
Speaker 5: but her weight, her whole life, she's been at a
Speaker 5: certain weight. When she did this thing, she broke the weight,
Speaker 5: the lowest weight she's ever been as a woman. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, broke the barrier.
Speaker 1: How's the first twenty four hours?
Speaker 5: The first twenty it was. It was good for me
Speaker 5: because I do the internet fasting anyway. So I've gone
Speaker 5: like when I fly, I do the whole Gary berecast
Speaker 5: system when I fly now too. So when you fly
Speaker 5: like I went to Australia, I went to Abu Dhabi.
Speaker 5: I just did it to New York. You don't eat,
Speaker 5: you fast on the plane and there's these hydrogen uh
Speaker 5: bottle water things that that that turned your water, you know,
Speaker 5: your your bottle water into hydrogen water and you just
Speaker 5: drink that the whole way and then when you land
Speaker 5: you adjust to the time zone. It's fucking incredible. I've
Speaker 5: done it three times now in crazy flights and.
Speaker 1: Out where you're not getting the uh the jet leg.
Speaker 5: So you don't get jet leg. Yeah, and is it
Speaker 5: like a machine that I've been doing it?
Speaker 1: You put it in there.
Speaker 5: I just now I just bought one that's a leader.
Speaker 5: These ones were small ones. Now I got the leader. Yeah,
Speaker 5: this is how fucking crazy end of this shit I am.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like you were telling me about your
Speaker 1: routine that you go through on a daily basis. You
Speaker 1: do it like.
Speaker 5: Religiously, religiously religiously, and I feel like I'm fucking in
Speaker 5: my twenties again.
Speaker 2: Many you got the jew You definitely got the energy
Speaker 2: we started this podcast off.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you were with me half the night last
Speaker 5: night playing fucking cards. And I was back in here
Speaker 5: this morning and I'll be back in here tomorrow.
Speaker 1: What times you get up this morning?
Speaker 5: Well, I slept in late today. I got up at
Speaker 5: seven thirty, so I.
Speaker 1: Slept la He walked out of the Red side o'clock,
Speaker 1: and it's like non negotiable. It's like, what are your
Speaker 1: non negotiables in the morning for somebody who's listening, being like,
Speaker 1: I love the energy a livery's at. Yeah, what are
Speaker 1: the little things I can do now just for me
Speaker 1: to kind of be better.
Speaker 5: I have the pad in my bed that alkaline iss
Speaker 5: your body. I come straight here. I do the coal plunge.
Speaker 5: I do the steam, I do the oxygen therapy, I
Speaker 5: do the red light, and then I do my workout.
Speaker 5: And on the days, because I work out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Speaker 5: and then I don't work out again till Saturday, and
Speaker 5: then every day is recovery, So I do recovery every
Speaker 5: single day. So on days that I work out and
Speaker 5: do recovery, it's two hours of my morning, and then
Speaker 5: on days that I just recover, it's one hour of
Speaker 5: my morning.
Speaker 1: So when if you're somebody listening to this podcast falling
Speaker 1: on a budget, what's like the number one thing to you?
Speaker 1: If you're like, if you want to just change one
Speaker 1: thing and do it consistently, what would that be?
Speaker 5: And that is the hard part, And it's the thing
Speaker 5: that kills me, is because I talk about this so
Speaker 5: much because I want to share this with other people,
Speaker 5: and I want people that are listening to know when
Speaker 5: you're seeing that doctor and the s shit that you're
Speaker 5: telling him is wrong with you, and they can't fix it,
Speaker 5: and it never gets better, but they just keep adding
Speaker 5: more and more pills to your fucking pile that you're taking,
Speaker 5: and it makes you feel even shittier. There is hope
Speaker 5: you don't have to feel this way. There are and
Speaker 5: there's other guys out there, like Gary Breca. Right, there's
Speaker 5: a guy. Will you go grab that book that's on
Speaker 5: my counter, you know the one I'm talking about, right,
Speaker 5: the books that I have. Nicole has one bringing in
Speaker 5: here because people that can't afford Gary Breca. I always
Speaker 5: tell people to watch Gary's podcast. He's at Gary breca
Speaker 5: on on Instagram. And there's another guy that Joe's had
Speaker 5: on that. Everybody tells me this book is incredible, and
Speaker 5: I buy this book and I give it to people,
Speaker 5: and I do this because I want to share this
Speaker 5: with with people. But like like the pad that I
Speaker 5: put in my bed, Gary says, you take your shoes
Speaker 5: off and you walk in the grass and it's electricity
Speaker 5: exactly from from from the Earth's and and then and then, uh,
Speaker 5: if you don't have a coal plunch, jump in your
Speaker 5: fucking pool when it's cold out, or or put some
Speaker 5: ice in a bucket in a barrel in cold plunge,
Speaker 5: cold shower, all these type of things that you can do.
Speaker 5: The red light therapy, get out in the sun even
Speaker 5: when it's cold out. Gary always talks about first Son
Speaker 5: in the morning is the best and you know this.
Speaker 5: So there's alternatives like this, and then there's this book.
Speaker 5: This book is called Outlive. I'm gonna give everybody in
Speaker 5: here one too. It I just bot ten more. I
Speaker 5: never met this guy, don't know this guy. I make
Speaker 5: no money off the shit. I make no money off
Speaker 5: any of the shit. And in fact, I pay Gary
Speaker 5: Breca full vote. Okay, I'm telling you this, and I'm
Speaker 5: saying this to you because you can tell that's I'm
Speaker 5: super passionate about it and it's real. It works. But
Speaker 5: this is called Outlive. The Science of Art in the
Speaker 5: Art of Longevity. Peter Atia, Sorry if I'm butchering your name, buddy,
Speaker 5: Peter A. Tia m D. Everybody tells me that this
Speaker 5: book is incredible, and even Gary. That's the other thing
Speaker 5: that I love about Gary Breca. Gary Brekt doesn't shit
Speaker 5: on other people and go no, no, no, Only my
Speaker 5: stuff will do this. Gary's like, this guy is brilliant.
Speaker 5: This guy's good, and this guy knows exactly what he's
Speaker 5: talking about. Gary is that type of guy. So there
Speaker 5: you go. Outlive. If you can't afford to do a
Speaker 5: lot of this stuff, check out Gary's podcast and his
Speaker 5: stuff and read Outlive by Peter Atiya.
Speaker 1: I think this is a lot about Breca, the way
Speaker 1: he doesn't the way he say he doesn't talk about
Speaker 1: other people. I've worked with some people, like doing the
Speaker 1: blood work and all that, trying to stay ahead of
Speaker 1: the chains with football, and it seemed like most of
Speaker 1: the people I worked with, if I brought up somebody else,
Speaker 1: they're like, no, fuck that guy, because everyone at the
Speaker 1: end of the day is trying to make money as well.
Speaker 1: But I hear breck on you know the Rogan podcasts,
Speaker 1: and you think about the rivalries within the game that
Speaker 1: people are living, and he talks about Andrew Heuberman. He's like,
Speaker 1: guy's awesome. Guy understands his shit, like he knows what
Speaker 1: he's doing. So that says that probably says a lot
Speaker 1: about him.
Speaker 5: The first thing, honestly, other than when this guy started
Speaker 5: walking through the blood work, first thing I noticed about
Speaker 5: him other doctors. And he says, listen, it's it's not
Speaker 5: listen when doctors go they don't study human biology the
Speaker 5: way that they used to and everything he works with
Speaker 5: doctors who work everybody who has other opinions. He's like, no,
Speaker 5: that's it. He doesn't shit on anybody ever, Like, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: not that guy. My way. Gary is the exact opposite.
Speaker 5: It's one of the things that I extremely respect about
Speaker 5: the guy. Yeah, so he speaks very highly of this guy.
Speaker 1: When you when you talk about Breca and he gave
Speaker 1: you like when you're essentially gonna die, he said you
Speaker 1: had like ten eleven years to live ten point four.
Speaker 1: What was like your first thought when you heard that?
Speaker 1: Was it still in your mind, this is the guy's
Speaker 1: a load of shit, like you have to show me?
Speaker 1: Or was that like the wake up thing? Now?
Speaker 5: It wasn't a wake up because I wasn't a believer yet.
Speaker 5: Make me believe then I'll say, oh shit, I got
Speaker 5: ten years left. So then after I started doing his stuff,
Speaker 5: you know, you know what I believe. I believe I
Speaker 5: didn't have that one. I think Gary was being nice.
Speaker 5: I don't think I had ten point four years. I
Speaker 5: was fucking bad, and I think that you know, there
Speaker 5: might be a lot of people out there listening right
Speaker 5: now that you know, when you're a man and you
Speaker 5: got shit going on with you, you fucking deal with it.
Speaker 5: My fucking legs are fucked up by this that try
Speaker 5: to talk to a doctor. That don't fix you. It's
Speaker 5: just like there's two things. Number One, I'm a man,
Speaker 5: I gotta do what I gotta do. I gotta get
Speaker 5: up every day and deal with life. Yeah, number one,
Speaker 5: and number two, maybe this is how fucking fifty feels.
Speaker 5: I'm fifty now, Is this how fifty feels? It must be,
Speaker 5: you know, that's what you start to think. It is
Speaker 5: the furthest thing from the truth. And now I tell
Speaker 5: Gary all the time, I'm like, I feel fucking incredible.
Speaker 5: I feel twenty. And he's like, no, you don't. You don't,
Speaker 5: you don't feel incredible. This is what normal feels like.
Speaker 5: This isn't incredible. This is normal. This is what you're
Speaker 5: supposed to feel like. And it's all fascinating. He's a
Speaker 5: fascinating dude. I hope that this dude lives to be
Speaker 5: a fucking hundred because a lot of people need him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: There's a book called Lifespan where a guy talks about that,
Speaker 1: like if you can do fasting and do basic things
Speaker 1: like and you can start to feel that normally you're
Speaker 1: talking about like one hundred and one hundred and ten
Speaker 1: is like the essentially the new seventy and like so
Speaker 1: on and so forth. Seventy is the new forty and
Speaker 1: all that.
Speaker 5: Well, if you look at the generation before us, right,
Speaker 5: you got Clint Eastwood right now, that's fucking ninety three
Speaker 5: years old, still doing it.
Speaker 1: He's a mayor of a town, still doing well.
Speaker 5: He was not now, still doing still making movies, still
Speaker 5: doing his thing. You got Gene Hackman still alive. I
Speaker 5: don't know the state of Gene Ackman. I haven't seen
Speaker 5: him in a while, but he's in his fucking nineties.
Speaker 5: He's still alive. Bob Aram. I hate this motherfucker.
Speaker 3: Uh Bob Ara.
Speaker 5: Right, let me tell you about Bob Aram. You go
Speaker 5: back and research anything about Bob Ahram and me talking
Speaker 5: about him. I can't stand him. Whatever, I have to
Speaker 5: give him the respect. I'm at the Aces playoffs, so
Speaker 5: that the the WNBA champions, the Las Vegas Aces. I'm
Speaker 5: at the I'm at the playoff game. It's eight thirty
Speaker 5: at night. Now, you got to pull up to the
Speaker 5: stadium in the back and gotta walk quite away. I
Speaker 5: look over across the thing. It's eight thirty. Bob fucking
Speaker 5: Aram is sitting at the fucking ninety one ninety two
Speaker 5: years old at the Aces game. I'm like, you gotta
Speaker 5: be shitting me right. A week later, he's in fucking

Speaker 5: ninety fucking.
Speaker 1: Two years he's moving around.
Speaker 5: You gotta you gotta respect it.
Speaker 1: You gotta respect it, right, respect.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I'm saying, these guys from this generation now
Speaker 5: are already living into their nineties and flying to fucking
Speaker 5: Saudi Arabia to watch fights.
Speaker 1: How long are you trying to live?
Speaker 5: I don't give a fuck how long I live. I
Speaker 5: want to quality of life. Yeah, I want a good
Speaker 5: quality of you know what I don't want to Hey,
Speaker 5: Dana is eighty six. He's still alive. Fuck, I'm sitting
Speaker 5: in a wheelchairs rooling on myself in the living room,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Eighty six at the high Rollers.
Speaker 5: I want to get working on his eight point three
Speaker 5: million dollars that we've won over the last fucking twenty years.
Speaker 1: Let's fucking go with that. I can get on board
Speaker 1: with that. What's the lowest you've ever been? Down?
Speaker 5: The most?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, that's a quick turn. We got positive, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the worst you've ever fell in your life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good it's a good question.
Speaker 5: Though, two million two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you bounce back from it or that's what
Speaker 2: you walked away? Maybe you came back from something lower.
Speaker 5: Is Hunter here? Pull him in here?
Speaker 1: If he's in here, I would love Hunter to be
Speaker 1: on this podcast. He's such a legend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just stays behind the scene, behind the scenes
Speaker 2: appearance every now and then.
Speaker 1: While Hunters coming. How much of a factor is Hunter
Speaker 1: in this business? The way he operates and everything behind So.
Speaker 5: You want to know something fucking crazy. He was an
Speaker 5: intern here, No, ship was an intern. He was an
Speaker 5: intern in like what department? Like, uh legal? And uh
Speaker 5: yeah legal. He's a lawyer. Yeah, so he interned here
Speaker 5: when he when he was in college a young kid,
Speaker 5: and then he became a lawyer, and then he ended
Speaker 5: up becoming my lawyer. And then when we sold the company,
Speaker 5: I had to bring you know, I brought him in
Speaker 5: as a is he here? He's not here?
Speaker 1: It's a bad luck. It's a bad luck for I
Speaker 1: really wanted him to.
Speaker 5: I'll give you that talk about how oh he is here?
Speaker 5: Oh okay, I was gonna say, we're talking about Grady
Speaker 5: is and he's not at work today. And then he
Speaker 5: ended up becoming my lawyer and h when we sold
Speaker 5: the company, I was sort of rebuilding the executive team
Speaker 5: in a few spots and I brought him into to
Speaker 5: be my right hand man. Yeah, and he's fucking awesome.
Speaker 5: Not you know, he's great at what he does, but
Speaker 5: he's he's one of my close friends now too. I'm
Speaker 5: very good friends.
Speaker 1: He seems like he seems like the perfect yang to
Speaker 1: your yang because you obviously it's.
Speaker 5: Exactly what I was looking for. Yeah, what what you
Speaker 5: can have here is to me, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: So Lorenzo, for Tita and I balanced each other out.
Speaker 5: I needed I need to that other side of the
Speaker 5: scale to balance out the way that I am.
Speaker 1: Right because you're you're you're a thrill seeker, you're competitive,
Speaker 1: you want you're fighting the good fight. Hunters a lot
Speaker 1: that way too, from what I've seen. But he has
Speaker 1: more of a he seems more cautious in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways. In the simple, simplest fact is when we
Speaker 1: get to the light analytical, because we'll sit there able
Speaker 1: to hey, you man, you play, and I mean I
Speaker 1: know he will. He's well, often he does his thing.
Speaker 1: He's like, no, he's like, I'd rather own a casino
Speaker 1: then play the game. And every time I play, is like,
Speaker 1: you're a fucking idiot, Like what are you doing? And
Speaker 1: I kind of feel bad about myself for a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I'm gonna keep playing though, We're gonna,
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep this thing rolling. But he's a he's
Speaker 1: an awesome cat.
Speaker 5: Owning a fucking casino is uh, you gotta go through
Speaker 5: a lot of fucking bullshit to try to like a casino,
Speaker 5: and you should. You should. So if you'd be fuck
Speaker 5: that ship. I want nothing to do with that bullshit.
Speaker 5: That's like a fucking running for office. So basically, the
Speaker 5: government can come into your house at any point in time,
Speaker 5: go through your safe, go through your phone, go through
Speaker 5: all your personal fucking records, you know all this shit
Speaker 5: the game. What people don't realize is the gaming industry
Speaker 5: is incredibly regulated by the government, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: So when you go in there, like some nights, when
Speaker 5: you're in there, you would feel like I always talk
Speaker 5: about this back in the wild Wild West. You have
Speaker 5: played enough now to see that sometimes when these fucking
Speaker 5: cards flip. You're like, how is this evening numerically possible
Speaker 5: that this could fucking happen this way. So, but I
Speaker 5: think back in the cowboy days when guys were really
Speaker 5: fucking stupid and had no education, hot headed, everybody carried
Speaker 5: fucking guns. Imagine being a dealer or a casino owner
Speaker 5: back in those days, and you see these cards flipping
Speaker 5: the way that people had to die back then, you guys,
Speaker 5: if you're fucking dealer because they thought they were cheating,
Speaker 5: it's impossible. But the reality is when you play these
Speaker 5: games and the way these cards flip, it is the
Speaker 5: most regulated ship in this country. All these games are
Speaker 5: square and on the up and up and and all
Speaker 5: the cameras and the government is paying attention to everything.
Speaker 5: It's very very regulated. So to get a license in gaming,
Speaker 5: you gotta go through hell.
Speaker 1: That's worth your time. Fuck that you're you're more build brands,
Speaker 1: sell them, Move on.
Speaker 5: On the guy side of the table. I would rather
Speaker 5: play against you. Yeah, It's it's just my thing. It's
Speaker 5: what I love to do. And you know, you have
Speaker 5: people like Hunter and many other people like why the
Speaker 5: fuck does this guy you doesn't need to get because
Speaker 5: I like it. That's fucking why business other than every
Speaker 5: night exactly, that's what I like to do.
Speaker 1: When's the last time you didn't bet a max bet
Speaker 1: in black jack?
Speaker 5: It's just it doesn't exist. Oh, he counts cards, he
Speaker 5: does this, he does that. I bet the same fucking
Speaker 5: amount every hand. I bet the max every hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't just bet the max every hand. You're
Speaker 1: also a psychopath the way I was watching you, because essentially,
Speaker 1: when you get down the way you were last night,
Speaker 1: you have to rely on the doubles and the splits
Speaker 1: to get you back on track. And there was a
Speaker 1: couple of times, you know, we're looking at a pair
Speaker 1: of twos versus a king and you're like, fuck it
Speaker 1: in the classical line, let's gamble, and then you're doubling
Speaker 1: whatever going after it, and it obviously worked in your favor.
Speaker 1: Is it just a feel thing though?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just you have to mix it up, you
Speaker 5: know when when we're in this we're in this fucking
Speaker 5: loop that we were in last night. Was it true?
Speaker 5: Is it not true that I would tell you what
Speaker 5: was going to happen?
Speaker 1: So what we were just talking about.
Speaker 5: Before it fucking happened, I told you what was going
Speaker 5: to happen. So you know, yes, for the most part,
Speaker 5: you played by the book, but overall you play by
Speaker 5: your gut, and there's times when you have to do
Speaker 5: shit that doesn't make sense because nothing is making sense
Speaker 5: when you have the amount of twenties that we had
Speaker 5: last night and we won none of them. When you
Speaker 5: have the amount of double downs that we had and
Speaker 5: we won none of them. If I had a fourteen,
Speaker 5: I was absolutely positively getting the fucking ten. If I
Speaker 5: had an eleven, we were absolutely getting the four, right,
Speaker 5: I mean all fucking night. So when that kind of
Speaker 5: goofy shit is happening over and at fucking one point,
Speaker 5: I don't know if you remember this, but uh, fucking
Speaker 5: what's his name? Orlando? Yeah? Played right John Orlando played.
Speaker 5: He got fucking murdered. Then we started playing. We got
Speaker 5: the same fucking hands that Orlando got, same cards, same
Speaker 5: up against. Every thing was exactly the same. Yeah, Like
Speaker 5: we were fucking caught in the matrix and it was
Speaker 5: a it was a fucking glitch and the matrix it
Speaker 5: was fucking crazy.
Speaker 1: Well there was. He started playing, and sometimes you play
Speaker 1: where you just have the cards down. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you just enjoy it more the thrill of everybody
Speaker 1: else washing and no one know what's going on. And
Speaker 1: I would was sitting right next to him, like so
Speaker 1: I could see the cards and he'd have six, like
Speaker 1: a two and a four, and the dealer would be
Speaker 1: showing a four and he would just stay no hit,
Speaker 1: no rhyme or reason, and then the dealer would bust.
Speaker 1: And is the crazy the goofy shit you're talking about?
Speaker 1: So as you're taking that ten, all of a sudden.
Speaker 5: Dead on, you're fucking absolute. So when you're in this
Speaker 5: fucking loop and this ship's going on, I have the sex.
Speaker 1: He gets the crazy.
Speaker 5: Every time you hit that six, right, it's a four
Speaker 5: to two, right you hit it, it's the fucking ten.
Speaker 5: So most of the time when ship's going goofy, I
Speaker 5: will stay on the six. I will stay on you know,
Speaker 5: hands like that and the dealer normally. But how many
Speaker 5: how many times you see it? Last night? I think
Speaker 5: it was probably exactly five or six, and I think
Speaker 5: I lost one mm.
Speaker 1: Hmm, and the ones you want to just stay on six.
Speaker 1: It was kind of like a look at this fucking move,
Speaker 1: and the one you lost you kind of flip it.
Speaker 1: The dealers will flip it over what Yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 2: Was so in the moment. He's doing his mannerisms at
Speaker 2: the table too, with the card swipe and everything else
Speaker 2: and the fight.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the thing that here's what blows me away
Speaker 1: about you is we've had conversations about people when other
Speaker 1: situations have happened, and ESPNS and these other companies are
Speaker 1: calling you saying we want this guy out, and you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, then we're out that type of how did
Speaker 1: you become an individual or have you always been like
Speaker 1: this where you're choosing people over business because you meet
Speaker 1: people with money and there's a level of narcissism or
Speaker 1: something where they are so solely focused on their success
Speaker 1: that they don't care about other people's success. And it
Speaker 1: seems like you were the exact opposite. I've been at
Speaker 1: the table with you where you've handed me money. Just
Speaker 1: last night's perfect example. Kyle from the Milk Boys. He's
Speaker 1: down fifty, you're fucking around, you're on a hot streak.
Speaker 1: You're like, hey, give me thirty, bing bang boom, here
Speaker 1: here's thirty, and you kind of do that way, like
Speaker 1: what is that company? Has that always been you or
Speaker 1: is it because you're the position you're in now and
Speaker 1: you understand people.
Speaker 5: I don't ever choose uh money over people ever. Ever,
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't know how to explain it, but
Speaker 5: I will never choose. It's just like you know, this business.
Speaker 5: The best example I can give you is going through
Speaker 5: COVID is. No matter what goes on, we're gonna go
Speaker 5: through a lot of hard times. We went through the uh,
Speaker 5: you know, the crash in eight nine.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: There's been other things that have happened in our business
Speaker 5: going up with one year we had every fucking main
Speaker 5: event fallout or co main event with injuries and it
Speaker 5: was a rough pay per view year. And you know,
Speaker 5: we've had times that back in the day when we
Speaker 5: didn't know if we were going to break covenants and
Speaker 5: shit like that. We never laid our people off. I
Speaker 5: will fucking I look at every day when I get
Speaker 5: up out of bed and I go to work, I'm
Speaker 5: going to war. There's people coming to fucking take shots
Speaker 5: at us and try to take us down. Whether it's
Speaker 5: the fucking media. Are these people of those people and
Speaker 5: all these people that are in this building strap up
Speaker 5: and go to battle with me every day? So the
Speaker 5: UFC is this fucking battleship, right, and we're cruising and
Speaker 5: we're fighting the fight every day. Some people have been
Speaker 5: here for ten, fifteen, twenty years, right, And COVID was
Speaker 5: the perfect example because we've never found I mean, we've
Speaker 5: never been through a time that was as scary as COVID.
Speaker 5: Are we going to die? Is the whole world gonna collapse?
Speaker 5: Is this gonna happen? Is that gonna happen? Now? I'm
Speaker 5: the leader in this organization, right, I am the guy
Speaker 5: who is My job description is to run the business
Speaker 5: through the good, the bad, the ugly, all this shit.
Speaker 5: But I take care of my people. My people depend
Speaker 5: on a paycheck every week for me. So the way
Speaker 5: that I am what most businesses will do. You saw
Speaker 5: it a lot through COVID. You see a lot when
Speaker 5: they're going through hard times. The way that you stay
Speaker 5: that you make it a lot easier as you you
Speaker 5: start fucking getting rid of people. So you put bullets
Speaker 5: on all these people, and you know, then your your
Speaker 5: costs go down and you manage to business, you do whatever.
Speaker 5: This is a fucking battleship and we're either all going
Speaker 5: down together or we're not going down at all. That's
Speaker 5: just the way that I'm fucking wired and the way
Speaker 5: that I look at it. And when I look at
Speaker 5: my employees, I expect a lot from them. Right. This
Speaker 5: place is a fucking grindhouse. It's a hamster wheel. Every
Speaker 5: fucking Saturday, we're putting on a fight. As soon as
Speaker 5: that fight is over, we start promoting the next fight
Speaker 5: on Monday. Right, So think about this, and this is
Speaker 5: the way that I look at it. How many games
Speaker 5: have they missed that their kids played? How many performances
Speaker 5: have they missed that their kids performed in at school?
Speaker 5: How many hours did they miss playing with their fucking
Speaker 5: kids and all this kind of shit. These are the
Speaker 5: things that I think about. And we hit some hard times.
Speaker 5: Who hit a rocket roll? And that's it. You're just
Speaker 5: a fucking number. You're you're, you're, you're a you're a
Speaker 5: fucking number to the bottom line, because that's basically what
Speaker 5: these companies do. They go down and they look at
Speaker 5: the people and if you make the most money, you're
Speaker 5: probably the one that's in the most risk, right, or
Speaker 5: there's multiple people to do your job or whatever, And
Speaker 5: what goes out the window is all the ship that
Speaker 5: you've done for the company, right, all goes out right
Speaker 5: out the fucking window. Fuck that ship, not with me.
Speaker 5: I don't forget. I don't ever forget. I always remember
Speaker 5: who was here and who did what, and and and
Speaker 5: and then the people that I don't even know what
Speaker 5: they did. I know what they did. You know what
Speaker 5: I mean, because I know what we do here and
Speaker 5: and I will never pick money over people ever.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about your one of your more recent battles,
Speaker 2: UH sponsorship bud Light. Obviously you had to stand in
Speaker 2: the in the batter's box. I was messaging you about
Speaker 2: that on how you handle yourself when people are coming
Speaker 2: after you, when you make a decision like that. Can
Speaker 2: you talk about can you talk about that recent battles
Speaker 2: possible but obviously talked about on Theo's podcasts. I thought
Speaker 2: was awesome, Thank you, But yeah, share some light. I
Speaker 2: would love to know what goes on, you know, when
Speaker 2: you're when you're making that deal, especially when there's probably
Speaker 2: other suitors in there. People call you a sellout and
Speaker 2: everything else.
Speaker 5: Yep, that's that's part of the gig too, when you
Speaker 5: make when you make tough decisions and you make decisions
Speaker 5: that you know. People don't know all the What you
Speaker 5: have to understand is, it's just like when we were
Speaker 5: talking about New Year's Eve. If you if you know
Speaker 5: who I am and understand the way that I operate,
Speaker 5: and especially at this point in my life and my age,
Speaker 5: nothing is about money anymore. I've made money. Everybody thought
Speaker 5: I was going to retire in twenty sixteen. I've made money.
Speaker 5: I'm good like going through COVID. I got a really
Speaker 5: nice fucking house. Okay, really nice. I could have fucking
Speaker 5: camped out for five or six years however long COVID,
Speaker 5: but that wouldn't have done any good for this fuck company.
Speaker 5: It wouldn't have done any good for my employees, and
Speaker 5: it definitely wouldn't have been good for the fighters. So
Speaker 5: we didn't. We battled fucking through it. So if I
Speaker 5: have made the decision to go with Anheuser Bush and
Speaker 5: bud Light, there's a damn good fucking reason. I know
Speaker 5: the inner workings of the beer business better than any
Speaker 5: of the other fucking these guys out, these fans and
Speaker 5: all this shit, and basically they went after Anheuser Busch
Speaker 5: for being woke and doing what they did. I think
Speaker 5: that you know, obviously, I've laid out all the reasons
Speaker 5: on why I'm way more aligned with Anheuser Bush than
Speaker 5: any other beer company out there. And for those of
Speaker 5: you that haven't heard, sixty five thousand Americans are employed
Speaker 5: by Aneaser Busch. Sixty five thousand Americans and a lot
Speaker 5: of them are vets. That alone should be enough reason
Speaker 5: for you to not try to put a bullet in
Speaker 5: bud light in Anheuser Busch. Number one. Number two, they
Speaker 5: spend almost a billion dollars a year with US farmers. Okay,
Speaker 5: that should be a fucking reason you do it. All
Speaker 5: the stuff that they do for first responders and vets,
Speaker 5: and forty four million dollars spent over the last however
Speaker 5: many years for their families. Every time there's a natural
Speaker 5: disaster in America, they shut down the plant and turn
Speaker 5: it into a bottled water facility and they ship out
Speaker 5: and they've done something crazy like one hundred million bottles
Speaker 5: of bottle water that they've sent out to Americans in need.
Speaker 5: Give me a fucking break, Okay, I am way more
Speaker 5: aligned with Anheuser Bush. So that's why I did that
Speaker 5: deal with them. Now you're gonna have people who come
Speaker 5: and and you have these guys that you know, consider
Speaker 5: themselves patriots who love this country and everything else. Let
Speaker 5: me just tell you this, if you consider yourself a patriot,
Speaker 5: you should be drinking fucking barrels about light. Believe me
Speaker 5: when I tell you all these other beer companies out there,
Speaker 5: woke is what you're worried about. The woke is of
Speaker 5: the woke. You just haven't fucking seen it or heard
Speaker 5: about it. So Anheuser Busch is my partner for the
Speaker 5: next six years, and I can't fucking wait, and I'm
Speaker 5: looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: Was anybody close to Anheuser Busch, like you know, obviously
Speaker 2: when you look at whatever gets reported on their sales,
Speaker 2: dropping everything else, a company like Modello comes to the
Speaker 2: top like as a beer brain, like a Modello trying
Speaker 2: to come to the table and sponsor up with the UFC.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, people can say that it's you know, oh,
Speaker 5: it's about money. I was gonna get money no matter
Speaker 5: what money was coming, you know what I mean? And
Speaker 5: trust me, Anheuser bush didn't pay me some fucking crazy
Speaker 5: number that maybe said, you know what, I'm gonna throw
Speaker 5: every fucking thing that I'm about all of the values
Speaker 5: that I believe in right out the window because I'm
Speaker 5: gonna take this money. Yeah, there's there's stories that I
Speaker 5: could tell you, but I won't. There isn't any fucking
Speaker 5: amount of money that I will take to not When
Speaker 5: you're getting into a sponsorship deal, you're getting into a relationship.
Speaker 5: Who wants to be in a bad relationship, Nobody, Whether
Speaker 5: it's with a woman, it's with your family, it's with
Speaker 5: business partners, or it's a fucking sponsor. You want to
Speaker 5: be with people that you were aligned with that the
Speaker 5: purpose of a sponsorship is you pay me money, and
Speaker 5: the money that you pay me, we work together to
Speaker 5: build both of our businesses and make them bigger and better.
Speaker 5: If you are not aligned on most things, you are
Speaker 5: not going to have that kind of a relationship, and
Speaker 5: you are not going to have fun, and you're going
Speaker 5: to be begging to fucking get out of that relationship.
Speaker 5: So you should only do deals with people that you
Speaker 5: are aligned with.
Speaker 1: But what do you say to people that, like the
Speaker 1: first you said last night, Power Slab has more sponsors
Speaker 1: this year than UFCD in the first seven years. Right
Speaker 1: when you're not in the position you are now and
Speaker 1: you're fighting a good fight establishing the UFC. Were you
Speaker 1: did you still have that same mindset? Well? Was there
Speaker 1: not enough leeway?
Speaker 5: Like, well, no, that's how you learn. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 5: good point again, Like I was talking about my employees
Speaker 5: and COVID or whatever. You don't know who's who or
Speaker 5: what's what. You can be in the best relationship ever.
Speaker 5: Right I could say, you know, Taylor's my fucking good friend.
Speaker 5: Right then the ship hits the fan and I really
Speaker 5: need Taylor. Is Taylor there for me?
Speaker 1: I'm there?
Speaker 5: Tell me everybody in this room hasn't been in that
Speaker 5: position where you found out who somebody really was when
Speaker 5: you really needed them, or when you hit rough times
Speaker 5: or scary times like COVID and shit like this. You know,
Speaker 5: that's when you find out who's who. And uh then
Speaker 5: as you go on, you know, you live and learn,
Speaker 5: you know, and uh, we've had some some good sponsors
Speaker 5: and we've had some bad sponsors. What I don't like
Speaker 5: is when you have a company or a group of
Speaker 5: people can be a network. It could be anybody that
Speaker 5: starts coming in and telling you what to do with
Speaker 5: your fucking business. You need to do this, and you
Speaker 5: need to do that, or we're gonna pull our sponsorship. Well,
Speaker 5: you can pull your sponsorship and you can take every
Speaker 5: fucking dollar of your money and roll it up into
Speaker 5: a little ball and you can shove it right up
Speaker 5: your fucking ass. That's what you can do, hey dog.
Speaker 1: It's like one big motivational video in this guy like
Speaker 1: hell yes, hell y video right now.
Speaker 5: So imagine you're in the podcast business, right and you
Speaker 5: have a guest and Peloton calls you, and this guy's
Speaker 5: this guy, Robert Kennedy Jr. Is a is A is
Speaker 5: a Democrat, and uh, you know this is America. Robert
Speaker 5: Kennedy Jr. Has And I've never met Robert Kennedy Jr.
Speaker 5: Just for the record, I mean, it sounds like I'm
Speaker 5: defending him like I'm talking about a purse close little
Speaker 5: friend of mine like Trump, that who I've known for
Speaker 5: fucking many years and he's one of my very good friends.
Speaker 5: I don't know Robert Kennedy Jr. I've seen his videos.
Speaker 5: What about Robert Kennedy Junior? Would make your pompous, arrogant
Speaker 5: fucking ass pick up a phone and tell somebody else
Speaker 5: you better not like like, this guy's fucking Hitler or
Speaker 5: some horrible fucking human being that walks the face of
Speaker 5: the earth. He's a fucking Kennedy. He's a smart guy.
Speaker 5: He has his own beliefs and his values. His podcast
Speaker 5: has to come down. You sell stationary bikes for a
Speaker 5: fucking living. You are a fucking clown. There is something
Speaker 5: mentally fucking unstable about you that you have the balls
Speaker 5: to pick up the phone and call somebody and tell
Speaker 5: them to take another person, another fucking guy's fucking podcast down.
Speaker 5: Really wrap your head around that. Do you know what
Speaker 5: a fucking absolute pompous arrogant. I don't. I don't even
Speaker 5: have the rest of the words for this fighter, like.
Speaker 1: Let this man cook.
Speaker 5: It's fucking mind boggling to me that you could be
Speaker 5: that arrogant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you gotta love it too, like in this
Speaker 2: age like how not power has shifted, but this power
Speaker 2: has been like you know, created, like into the people,
Speaker 2: into the ones, like promoting the product. Like you hear
Speaker 2: something like that and you just make a decision, get
Speaker 2: him out.
Speaker 1: Of the facility.
Speaker 2: THEO is able to talk about it because he doesn't
Speaker 2: feel like he's buttoned in some contrary. I know he
Speaker 2: went through like a contrast contrasting dispute with the podcast
Speaker 2: one network, I believe, but he's in a spot where
Speaker 2: he's talking about it and people are getting held accountable,
Speaker 2: more so publicly because they're trying to do this backdoor.
Speaker 1: Hey, you gotta take this down. You gotta take this down.
Speaker 5: It's like, no, fuck you, dude, right, And I don't
Speaker 5: like cancel culture. And I'm not saying, you know, lit's
Speaker 5: boycott Peloton or whatever. I know there's plenty of people
Speaker 5: that like to ride Pelotons or whatever. My thing is
Speaker 5: this is that you have to put it in perspective
Speaker 5: and think about Robert Kennedy Junior, theo Van does the podcast,
Speaker 5: a guy who sells stationary bikes. Who the fuck do
Speaker 5: you think you are that you would pick up the
Speaker 5: phone and fucking call and tell him to take his
Speaker 5: fucking podcast down. It's fucking insane, but it just shows
Speaker 5: you the mindset of what a fucking weirdo this guy
Speaker 5: actually really is.
Speaker 1: I just Peloton and UFC dead done well.
Speaker 5: Peloton in UFC was never a thing anyway, So it's
Speaker 5: not like this guy around too and they were in
Speaker 5: my fucking gym and they're gone. We ripped them out
Speaker 5: of it. They're gone that them out right after the
Speaker 5: US before. We're doing now yeah too much e ms Echelance.
Speaker 5: So Echelans fucking called me up. These guys are out
Speaker 5: of Tennessee, Tnessee, YEP. And Echelance is now going to
Speaker 5: replace the bikes in there, and they're they're going to
Speaker 5: do a deal with Theobon.
Speaker 1: You said you kind of broker that deal, right.
Speaker 5: They called me here at every fucking bike company on
Speaker 5: Earth call me the next day. These guys are from
Speaker 5: These guys are from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Guy's a fucking solid guy.
Speaker 5: Talked to him on the phone and uh and uh yeah,
Speaker 5: they're gonna do a deal with Dale and he can
Speaker 5: have fucking Robert Kenner Junior fucking and every other Kennedy
Speaker 5: and anybody else in his fucking podcast that he wants to.
Speaker 5: Because this is America. You can do whatever the fuck
Speaker 5: you want to do when you own your own fucking
Speaker 5: show on the internet.
Speaker 1: Hell yes, I think I feel like after this this
Speaker 1: like show comes out, there's gonna be like so many
Speaker 1: more people just didn't listen to the Army like you're
Speaker 1: making it like you're bringing paychecks to the back. Brother,
Speaker 1: You're like Toby Keith when Curtsey the Red, White and
Speaker 1: Blue came out every night eleven. That's you right now.
Speaker 1: You're killing it.
Speaker 5: But am I wrong?
Speaker 1: Serious? For the proud boy and me is going a
Speaker 1: little nuts inside right now, I'm getting fired up. You
Speaker 1: got me going a little bit because it's I had
Speaker 1: a free brother like you're able. That's why people come
Speaker 1: here is to establish their dream and keep it going.
Speaker 1: And for somebody Stationary Bike Guy wants to come and
Speaker 1: tell you what to do about your own business. It's
Speaker 1: a it's a crazy concept that people have, for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: have this like arrogance to believe that they can just
Speaker 1: tell you what to do with whatever you want. Because, hey,
Speaker 1: because I've given you money for the show, you're not
Speaker 1: allowed to have X, Y and Z.
Speaker 5: And your hundred percent. You can't have your own fucking opinion,
Speaker 5: your own beliefs, your own whatever. So I'm gonna take
Speaker 5: the money away. So what they try to do is
Speaker 5: they try to create this this this fear and this image.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Stationary Bike Guy fucking pulled his money away.
Speaker 5: So the other companies go, should we be scared too?
Speaker 5: Should we pull our money away. Fuck you, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. It's it's disgusting, it's fucking gross, and
Speaker 5: and it's just it's so hard for me to wrap
Speaker 5: my brain around how fucking arrogant one human being can
Speaker 5: be and and think that he, you know.
Speaker 2: Right, can make a call like that, uh, like off
Speaker 2: the whole sponsorship and everything else with Peloton and the
Speaker 2: bud Light stuff. It's like the Peloton thing happens, you
Speaker 2: have a decision, You're like, oh, burn the boats, like
Speaker 2: get Peloton out, YadA, yaha, YadA. I'm curious, like what
Speaker 2: happens in your mind when you're trying to say because
Speaker 2: you also have to stay fluid in some of these relationships,
Speaker 2: like when something changes and happens, like you weren't with
Speaker 2: bud Light for a while, the stuff goes down with
Speaker 2: the with the cans and everything else, like kind of
Speaker 2: keeping that, you know, still kind of being there for
Speaker 2: if a deal does come back to you. Does that
Speaker 2: make sense? It's like you don't bite your tongue on
Speaker 2: the Peloton stuff. A lot of people would assume that
Speaker 2: the people who you're aligned with the way they go
Speaker 2: after bud Light when the Dylan can comes out and
Speaker 2: everything else. I don't know if you had a statement
Speaker 2: on it, I have no clue. I'd have to I'd
Speaker 2: have to go back and look it up to make
Speaker 2: this like.
Speaker 5: A better question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had nothing to say about it, right, But
Speaker 2: when when the bud Light deal comes back around, Like,
Speaker 2: how important is it to stay fluid thinking like, you know,
Speaker 2: keeping a relationship open.
Speaker 5: I guess and going into that I knew exactly what
Speaker 5: we would have to face doing a deal with bud Light,
Speaker 5: but it's it's more about, like I told you, guys,
Speaker 5: I'll look at all the good things they've done. You know,
Speaker 5: if you look at them as a whole as a company,
Speaker 5: Anheuser Bush is a bad They've had some of the
Speaker 5: greatest ads in the history of When I grew up, right,
Speaker 5: I was a big boxing guy. Every fucking thing I
Speaker 5: ever remember was Budweiser. Budweiser, the King of Beers. Every
Speaker 5: fucking fight had had their you know, their backing, their
Speaker 5: logos were fucking everywhere. You grew up on Budweiser, the
Speaker 5: King of Beers. You know, it's very The.
Speaker 1: Three Frogs Clyde Stale in the morning going through a meadow. Yes, wonder, hey,
Speaker 1: where are these horses headed, and they know exactly where
Speaker 1: they're headed.
Speaker 5: With Americans, it's very nostalgic for us that that brand,
Speaker 5: and if you dive deeper into the company and the
Speaker 5: heart and soul of the company and what they are,
Speaker 5: who they are, and what they stand for, I am
Speaker 5: way more aligned with them than I am with any
Speaker 5: other beer company that right now, six years from now
Speaker 5: could be a different story, but for the next six years,
Speaker 5: I am fucking excited and I cannot wait to be
Speaker 5: in business with an hys pushing bud Light.
Speaker 2: So I think it was obviously a great move on
Speaker 2: their part because, like I've expressed you, it's it's just
Speaker 2: impressive to kind of see all the business moves. Obviously,
Speaker 2: I've followed you closer since we've had you on since
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, and so I'm always fascinated by a man.
Speaker 2: I wonder how that's working kind of behind the scenes,
Speaker 2: because you do such a great job. And that's probably
Speaker 2: why bud bud Light like as they're getting back into
Speaker 2: the fold and trying to align themselves and brain themselves
Speaker 2: through people like yourselves who stand in the batter's box,
Speaker 2: and like, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Don't get Look, I'm not a fucking CellID.
Speaker 2: I'm pumped for these reasons, core values, leaning on all
Speaker 2: that stuff. So obviously a very savvy move on bud
Speaker 2: Light's part. But I'm just super fascinated by how how
Speaker 2: your brain works, especially like you identify power slope, here's
Speaker 2: how we're going to blow this thing up. Now you're
Speaker 2: looking at entertainment businesses with nitro circus and ridiculousness and
Speaker 2: all these things that kind of capture that where attention
Speaker 2: can go or you see the potential in it. So
Speaker 2: I'm just always like, I'm always impressed and fast and
Speaker 2: fascinated by how your brain works. Because people, now that
Speaker 2: we have this relationship with you, people are always curious, like yo,
Speaker 2: what's danding, Like what's this? And that it's like yo,
Speaker 2: he I mean literally what you see is him, And
Speaker 2: so I'm always curious, like what's going on, you know,
Speaker 2: behind behind that skull of yours?
Speaker 5: I guess. So I appreciate it. But you know, I'm
Speaker 5: going down to Texas for Thanksgiving. As soon as Thanksgivings over,
Speaker 5: I'm flying up to Saint Louis and and I'm going
Speaker 5: out to Anheuser Bush and I'm meeting all the people
Speaker 5: and meeting the distributors and all the all the people
Speaker 5: that that that uh that make that machine work. And
Speaker 5: I'm so like into this whole fucking relationship right now
Speaker 5: that I'm excited to go and I can't wait. I
Speaker 5: can't wait to go do this and and meet all
Speaker 5: the people that work there. And I'm really into this.
Speaker 5: If you can't tell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, why wouldn't you want to be part
Speaker 2: of an ownership group or own a team?
Speaker 5: First of all, when you look at a lot of
Speaker 5: these teams, there's no money in it until they sell,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. It's it's it's more of
Speaker 5: a lot of these teams are about rich billionaires. It's
Speaker 5: more of a status than it is a like a fun,
Speaker 5: profitable business to run. I like growing ship. I like
Speaker 5: taking something from nothing and building it into something. I
Speaker 5: like the journey. There's not really it. And all these
Speaker 5: teams are established out there, whether it's the NBA, the NHL,
Speaker 5: the NFL, major League Baseball, it's about winning championships. You
Speaker 5: have these multi billionaires who have these these teams and
Speaker 5: every year it's about winning championships. I'm I'm more about
Speaker 5: building the businesses and building the brands, Like I want
Speaker 5: to take through one from zero to fucking who knows what,
Speaker 5: what's possible. That's the type of stuff that I love
Speaker 5: to do. That makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Yeah, just a different game you don't
Speaker 1: want to play.
Speaker 2: Because I think it'd be awesome if you like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know Dana he own owns the Raiders, You like
Speaker 2: trying to go win a championship or something like.
Speaker 1: That halftime show, Power Slap halftime Show.
Speaker 5: Exactly when you're when you're.
Speaker 1: Getting to the status you've you've gotten to and you're
Speaker 1: navigating these waters of relationships. Like a relationship that I've
Speaker 1: seen since I've known you is the Milk Boys. You
Speaker 1: guys seem like you have a great relationship. You've built
Speaker 1: something beautiful with happy dad and all that. Like how
Speaker 1: did you guys relationships start and when did you start
Speaker 1: to realize like, oh, these are these are dudes that
Speaker 1: can align.
Speaker 5: With We're super tight. Yeah, we're literally like like like
Speaker 5: a like a family. And and basically I met these
Speaker 5: guys through COVID. You know, they wanted to come out
Speaker 5: to fight Island and Abu Dhabi during COVID and uh,
Speaker 5: it was super organic. Once they got out there, we
Speaker 5: all just sort of did our thing. We really connected,
Speaker 5: we really liked each other. And uh, I love how
Speaker 5: hard these kids work. These kids work their asses off.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: They they they uh and and they're good dudes. And
Speaker 5: we literally have zero deals in place, like there's no contracts,
Speaker 5: there's no fucking oh you didn't do this, you didn't
Speaker 5: do that. It's a relationship of respect, friendship, and we
Speaker 5: do fun shit together. And I love the kids and
Speaker 5: I do anything for them.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah, it is. It's interesting to see that
Speaker 1: because of how they started essentially with like pranks, right,
Speaker 1: they were doing like pranks, going in right, professors, turning
Speaker 1: on poorm without the microphone on. It was hilarious shit.
Speaker 1: And then they've blown up into their own right, and
Speaker 1: it's very unique. How just seeing your guys' relationship, how
Speaker 1: it's all worked.
Speaker 5: Well, it's what I'm fascinated right now with by all
Speaker 5: these influencers. So you have all these groups of young
Speaker 5: kids that are creating content in this new world that
Speaker 5: we live in with social media and the Internet and
Speaker 5: all that stuff, which has really just grown in the
Speaker 5: last fifteen sixteen years right, and how these kids have
Speaker 5: figured out how to be such good content creators and
Speaker 5: how to monetize it all and you know, basically to
Speaker 5: become these new age celebrities in the world that we
Speaker 5: live in. It's impressive and im and I'm very fascinated
Speaker 5: by it because I like, like I was telling you,
Speaker 5: I don't want to own the Open A's. I want
Speaker 5: to own power Slap and I want to own Nitra
Speaker 5: Circus in the UFC when we did it, you know,
Speaker 5: taking literally nothing and turning it into something special.
Speaker 2: Yeah, esentially because clearly, yeah, the relationship like how it
Speaker 2: has blossomed. But it's cool again, like identifying we're attention
Speaker 2: and everything else is and then you find a part
Speaker 2: you find partnerships and relationships to where you feel like,
Speaker 2: you know, hey we can both grow these different things together.
Speaker 1: Yeah that is that is cool. Yeah. We gotta wrap
Speaker 1: up here in a little bit. I gotta I gotta
Speaker 1: go to a throw one meeting that's right before we
Speaker 1: get you out of here. A couple of things. One
Speaker 1: well confident has expressed interest in gambling with you.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, Taylor like puts me He's like, hey,
Speaker 2: you gotta do it.
Speaker 1: You gotta do it. You just gotta do it.
Speaker 5: I don't know right now. Financially we're doing all right,
Speaker 5: what have you won?
Speaker 1: Oh? With you? We're over three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: Okay, three hundred thousand, and that's five times. We played
Speaker 5: five times because five power slaps came for every power
Speaker 5: slap and one of them we lost. Yeah, we're still
Speaker 5: over three hundred still over. Earlier on the on the
Speaker 5: Milk podcast, I said we were at like four to twenty.
Speaker 5: So I was wrong.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, we were we were around four. We were
Speaker 1: at four to fifty five. Okay, that night happened. God,
Speaker 1: So now we're we're Nickel and domin our way back.
Speaker 3: Got it?
Speaker 5: Ok that makes more sense. I don't know why that
Speaker 5: was in my head, but that's why. Yeah. So what's
Speaker 5: going to be interesting now is we're going to play
Speaker 5: tonight and who knows what else will end up doing before,
Speaker 5: but what your number is at the end of this year.
Speaker 5: And that's the way I look at gambling. Gambling is
Speaker 5: he's building, he's building. Taylor is a business. He looks
Speaker 5: at Taylor, lad, how I got to build this thing up.
Speaker 5: Gambling is a war and every night of these little
Speaker 5: battles in the war.
Speaker 1: You literally go when you say we're going to do
Speaker 1: it again tonight, which I want. I want to go
Speaker 1: back back to Wargan. I think it's like the most
Speaker 1: thrilling thing in the world. But the minute you said that,
Speaker 1: Colt sweats.
Speaker 5: Okay, I know, and it's atle sweater when we play.
Speaker 5: He paced around the place. The anxiety goes through the
Speaker 5: roof before he plays, and he's going crazy.
Speaker 1: Because there's always there's always like one guy with a
Speaker 1: suit on that goes Dana's on his way. And the
Speaker 1: minute I hear a Dana's on his way, I'm like, oh, fuck, dude,
Speaker 1: what if? What if?
Speaker 5: What if?
Speaker 1: I was telling you about my wife The night I
Speaker 1: lost I had the only reason why I left was
Speaker 1: to go catch my flight and I fly back and Taylor,
Speaker 1: my wife, is like, uh, why'd you? Why'd you leave?
Speaker 1: Like you should have stayed until you want it all back?
Speaker 1: She's a gangs. Yeah, she's tex text me this morning,
Speaker 1: so I didn't hear from you how to go? How
Speaker 1: did we do?
Speaker 5: And I'm like, you tell her that night took three
Speaker 5: months off our life.
Speaker 1: Dog, it was it was nuts. Thank God for Gary Breka.
Speaker 1: Always late nights. You've been doing, dude, exactly. We appreciate
Speaker 1: you coming on.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: When is when is McGregor and Chaylor.
Speaker 5: We don't have anything dialed then yet. If I if
Speaker 5: I knew even a little bit, I'd say summer. If
Speaker 5: I got to give you an answer, I'd say something.
Speaker 1: Would you say, that is what yard line are we on?
Speaker 1: Are we in the red zone? Are we close to
Speaker 1: the goal line on getting that thing done? Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. We love you, appreciate you, damn boys.
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Hell yes, okay, inspirational. That was awesome, man,
