Take it away? 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.760 All right, the Jets eventered their bye week, but I 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:13.680 got my buddy Bart Scott in studio. We don't take 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:16.400 a bye here, even though I'm fighting off something. I 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:18.599 don't know if I got a virus and infects you 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:20.960 a science infection. So you're gonna have to bear with 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.040 me at home, and maybe you're gonna have to carry 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.239 me here. Listen, man, I told you footprints when there's 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.479 only one set of a footprints in the saying, is 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:32.120 then that I carried you? Okay, Matt Backer. Saturday night 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.400 you were at MSG. People are walking by you in 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.879 the hallways here at one Jets Drive and saying, yes, 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.840 I saw you. Apparently the UFC event for the first 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:46.400 time New York City at the world's most famous arena. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.920 And then that sounds like a commercial right there. And 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:55.560 Bart Scott was in the house to watch the Notorious One. Yeah, 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.800 well it was. It was a mismatch though. You know, 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.840 he was a lot taller, naturally taller, bigger than than 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.640 the kid I think Alvarez is his name. But he 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.440 put on a great show. He's a great personality. Um. 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.240 For the first time ever in New York. You know, 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.920 I didn't think it did It didn't disappoint um. But 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.280 next time, I think they're gonna have to have a 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.360 more exciting uh contest. You know. The thing is about 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.880 those fights, they're so short, um that sometimes a fan 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.720 can lead with a dissatisfiedation. Math you kind of want 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.039 to see some blood and guts. But it was. It 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.040 was a good show, you know, UM. And I think 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.720 you know what I didn't like about it is that 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.200 it was so late. I mean I walked out of 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.400 that stadium at two o'clock. I mean, like, come on now, 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.720 at two o'clock, it's time. It's night, night time. Are 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.800 you walking down the street to your hotel at that 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:40.560 time and you got car service waiting for you at 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.440 the door? No? No, no, you know I don't mind 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.320 being amongst the pizza. You know. I went out and 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.640 at Ubert home, I I walked came out of the seventh, 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.960 seventh Avenue, um, and then I walked down to eight 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.040 you know, men and wife he went and you know, 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.639 get her out the crisip you know, show something different, 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.520 you know, having some fun. Many date night. What is 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:05.120 the messig think about Ultimate Fighting Joe, She's she's cool 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.440 with combat, you know sometimes you know, you know there's 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.200 a lot of blood in there. You kids catch them 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:10.919 out of the elbow. It's a lot of blood everywhere. 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:12.480 But she didn't mind, you know. I mean she's from 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.240 the streets of your choice. She got a little good bobble. 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.280 So the arena. What's the UFC crowd like? Is there 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.560 any different than like a boxing crowd? Different? It's more 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.240 like soccer. It's more like soccer. You know. It's a 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.200 different crowd as well. You know, a lot of people 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.160 that's attracted to UFC may not particularly be you know, 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.800 the boxing fan. Boxing fan is a little bit more 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.320 of a casual fan. A lot of times they want 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.840 to be part of the moment, you know. Like UFC 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.880 is like a I don't want to say cold following 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.200 because that's a bad word, but I want I want 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.280 to say it's more like a like Red Bulls crowd. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.919 It's a different, different demographic, you know. I mean, they 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.200 go hard and a lot of these fighters in the 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.799 UFC are from different countries, you know, so you get 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.520 that element as well. You get the soccer like environment. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.640 You know, a lot of energy there. You're a lot 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.079 of che and a lot of you know, coaches from 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.080 the sideline. I found myself, you know, spitting out advice 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.119 from the crowd too, because it kind of rubbed off 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.440 on me. Yeah, and I kind of telling the guy 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.840 circling to the wrong side, oh yeah, you got into it. 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.919 And my wife was like, listen, but she was like then, 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.360 you hate when people scream, fans screen stuff to you 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.560 from the stands, like you're you're that guy right now? 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.320 I said, you know what, you're right, shut up. Just 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.600 like a wife. I always put you back in now, 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:29.880 you said, the chance they sing songs like some of that. 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.280 And then you remember like when Ricky Hatten used come 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.320 on and he said Ricky, so they got like they 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.760 got their little set chance. You know these guys, you know, 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.480 there are a lot of people from Ireland. Are you 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.080 think it wasn't it? It wasn't as many as I thought. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.240 It wasn't as many as I thought. You know, I 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.120 thought it was gonna be like Ricky Hatton when he 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.200 used to come over. You know, you have like you 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.320 know sometimes some of the Mexican fighters come over. You 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.400 have a following people come and get on the plane, 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.760 especially from New York. You would think because it's close, 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.200 you know, from top in the here maybe six six 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.960 and a half and then then it's an international airport 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.920 where it seemed like it would have been easier. But 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.960 you know, maybe they they're waiting for something greater too. Now, 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:13.200 Connor McGregor, he is a master marketer. Uh, do you 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.880 think that is something because you brought a lot of 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.599 personality to the game when you wanted to bring the juice, 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.240 you brought the juice yourself. Do you think that is 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.680 something you are born with or is that something that 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.640 a guy like that grows up in Ireland, he becomes 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.359 a fighter and then he sees away and says, I 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.480 can be a professional fighter, but I also know I 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.440 can make it really big by making this persona Do 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.280 you think that that part of that is who he 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.599 is or is that all him? Well, it has to 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.080 be part of who you are to be willing to 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.080 step out there and take that risk, you know, because 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.560 what happens is you're gonna be loved and hated at 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.480 the same time. You know you're gonna be loved by 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.400 the people that support you, especially if you can back 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.200 it up. You give them more feel the more ammo 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.920 to kind of support you and what you say. But 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.120 then you're gonna be hated by something that want you 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.080 to have some humble I want you to be modest 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.080 and things like that. It's a lot harder to step 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.720 out there because when you step out there, everybody's waiting 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.640 for you, hoping that you're getting knocked out, and they're 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.960 waiting for that day to day your demise, you know. 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.719 So it's harder because you're going to get the best 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.240 because you're hated by the opponent as well. But also, 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.520 like I said, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. If 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.280 you're able to be successful with doing that, it's a 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.640 lot of money involved in and that's how you, you know, 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.840 build up a fan base. Whether they love you, hate you, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.839 they're gonna follow you. Do you have a sense of 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.760 how much of that is character, how much of that 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.040 is showman from him? Because I'm sure you don't know 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.880 personal level, but we've seen that with Diana, right. Dan 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.000 created Prime Time because it was something to sell, you 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:36.960 see Dennis Robbing, he was a massive marketer of it. 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.640 So but sometimes you can, you know, you have to 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.920 produce and We've seen guys that try to come out 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.080 and be personalities that failed because they weren't able to 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.760 put up the numbers. They weren't able to be successful. 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.359 You know, I see right now a guy in the 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.560 Crossroads is trying to be that massive marketer um that 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.560 has had some setbacks in his life. Is Adrian Broner. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.400 You see a guy that is trying to take a 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.200 page out of the Floyd Mayweather playbook. But you know 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.280 what may Floyd Mayweather loves and hated and also you know, 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.080 a great draw whenever it came to an event, with 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.240 the fact that no matter how much you hated him, 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.400 he still won, you know, and people still want to 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.480 come up because they wanted to say they were there 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.760 the day he got his big mouth shut. How big 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.040 do you think he is mc gregor as far as 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.080 on a national scene here in the United States, he's 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.320 I think he's the biggest thing in USC right now. 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.080 Him and Randa Rousey. You know, you never know, like 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.640 why was Tebow, you know, arguably the biggest star in 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.520 the NFL without having a lot of production, obviously one 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.400 of the biggest you know, you never know what fans 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.240 are gonna gravitate to what people are gonna see. I think, 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.320 you know, in certain aspects, people when they look at 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.680 those guys, they see themselves, you know what I mean, 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.240 Or they see how they would be if they were 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.240 in that position, They see their provido, how they would respond. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.520 So I think a lot of times that's when people 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.080 start following guys like Connor. But but does he like 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:58.920 a transcendent star already, like on a level crossover sports 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.480 like a Lebron James, or he started where Rhonda Rous 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.640 is right, if we see her in movies, she's one 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.480 of the highest pay athletes. You know, her fights are 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.760 sold out even more than men and things like that. 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.000 But then she got knocked out, you know, you know, 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:13.480 I think that set her back. But she went and 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.280 shot a movie. I think she was in Bond or 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.160 something like that, and she was in some movie I 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.320 forgot I saw. But she made a step to the 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:20.880 big stage. And that's what you see. You want to 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.320 see the people that that's able to transcend. You look 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.440 at when she was in the Entourage movie as well, right, yeah, yeah, 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.720 and you see like Rihanna, you know, people that cross 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.160 over the different markets, different genres um and I think 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.640 she's that. I think he's on the cusp of being 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.040 that he has to make sure they stays clean. I 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.840 get knocked out. I think before that a guy who 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.520 was kind of crossing over where people were paying attention 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.400 to other sports with bone Jones, you know, but he's 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.239 had so many personal setbacks that he's not able to 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.840 take that next step because marketers don't trust them, so 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.040 they're not going to give him their products to trust. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:53.960 You're not gonna see him with a watch company. You're 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.640 not gonna see him with a skin line. You're not 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.480 gonna see him out and commercials because they can't trust them. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.200 You said, Hugh Jackman was at the Light the other night. Yeah, Yeah, 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.560 Wolverine was at the at the UH at the event, 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.440 I saw Beckham. I think Beckham was backstage with McGregor. 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.360 You know. I think Beckham is one of those guys 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.120 is kind of trying to make that transition over to 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.280 to to Beckham has got to be a smaller guy, right, 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.400 he played soccer. Yeah, but yeah, but Beckham was a 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.640 lot bigger than McGregor. He's probably like they don't really 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.600 these people don't realize how big these guys. Yeah, McGregor's 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.520 tiny man. Yeah, like he probably got baby fist, junior 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.000 wapper hands. Yeah, yeah, he's a little dude, but five nine. 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.800 But yeah, I'll tell you why Hugh Jackman is a 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.920 big dude. He's well over six fot is he he 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.720 gets jacked up my mount and do whenever he's planning 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.439 is his roverine roll to. I wonder what kind of 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.880 special diety respect that? Yeah, what kind of special diet 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.320 they tape? Because he look at his other ones, he's flat. Yeah, 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.320 I mean I think they got secret sauce and uh, 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.840 you know you look at the guy that did softball, 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.559 you know, I mean, oh yeah, yeah, man, they got 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.880 a special shake for the US athletes. Can't take that shake. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:06.960 Uh that's Bert Scott here on the e A podcast. Listen, Um, 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:11.520 did you practice you uh impersonations when you watch guys? 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.719 You were such a mad wrestling fan growing up, so 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:20.560 guys like Hogan and Rowdy Piper and you know ultimate Warrior. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.840 Remember I remember I got my first whooping, right, I 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.760 mean not my first whopan. Remember my mom was whooping 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.800 me and I dipped into my ultimate Warrior. Um on 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.920 your mom my mom?

You mean she did take the 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.800 I was getting disciplined. Yeah, and I think I said 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.040 something like the powers I haven't sighed. The only man 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.559 that can hurt me as the one that created me. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:56.280 That's God Almighty, because I am the ultimate Warrior. She said, Oh, 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.880 you the ultimate warrior. Huh, we'll take this ultimate a warrior. 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.800 She just gave you more. She just gave you more. 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.400 You really pulled an ultimate your mother while she was 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.480 hitting you with a belt. Yeah, so it was so 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.000 it was a whopping. So I got a whooping and 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.120 Ultimate Warrior got a whopping at the same time. When 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.559 when you pull out of Hogan? When when you pull 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.760 out of Hogan? Growing up, I mean I used to 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.840 just love it, man like, even though he fell off 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.000 because I didn't I didn't like the racist remarks he made. 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.560 He like, no nobody liked. He lost me as a fan. 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.320 But growing up, I mean in the eighties, that was 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.679 the biggest thing. You know, it was Hawk Hogan. Um, 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.440 you know, Jordan was coming into you know, the eighties 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.559 is kind of rude by wrestling, especially the late but 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.760 I love Roddie Pipers, the begetting to WrestleManias. You know, 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:52.360 Piper's pet was classic. The scene with him and Jimmy 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:56.760 Superfly Snicker. Oh yeah, oh my god, broke the coconut 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:03.920 on his head. Yes, Piper's Pitts. Snucker was crazy, like 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.119 what do you say? He had the most incoherent like interviews, 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.480 like but he could splash off the top rope. Snuck 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.840 was an super I always wanted to be ripped up 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.400 like him too. So when you go like best bodies 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:21.560 ever in wrestling, you put I put Snooker, I put Mr. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.680 Wonderful Rabbitship Rick Rude because he had he had the 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.160 skinniest torso, but he had like a twenty pack Rabbitship 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.840 Rick Rude, Lex Luthor Lex Luthor was a monster total package, 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.040 like six eight. And then for some reason I think 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.520 like Big Papa Pump got stuck with the special Shake 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.520 because remember he was like he was Rick Steiner, Rickens 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.200 and Scott stuck and they had the Michigan jackets. He 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.040 wasn't looking like. Then he came back his Big Papa 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.319 Puff and he had a double muscle like hold up man. 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.480 Not only had double that, he was the veins were 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.720 just anywhere everywhere, Big Papa pump Man, like he he 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.880 got that mutant DNA not but listen, for me, it 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.600 was always Piper, and I always rooted for the bad guys, 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.200 kind of like when Hogan the steaming up with Mr 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.839 Teen and stuff like that. You didn't like the corner. No, 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.240 I was rooting for Piper and that stuff. You know 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.400 what I'm saying. So so till means, who's your favorite 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:23.560 tag team all the time? Favorite you from eighties? Yeah, definitely. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.640 Then it could only be one, it could only be two. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:35.840 It was only too great. Okay, well demolition is up there. No, uh, okay, 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.560 British Bulldogs right. Oh see that's another one. Yeah, British 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.559 Bulldogs were nasty, dangerous dance spite me. Uh David Kid, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:48.520 David boy Smith. The British Bulldogs were pretty nasty. Um, 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:54.800 it's a couple. You can go with the Rockers, Sean Michael. So, yeah, 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:59.520 you can go with Aren't Anderson and Old Anderson? Yeah? Well, 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.680 but it was only one that was like above them all. 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.599 Trying to remember the Four Horsemen used to have a 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.719 couple of tag teams and that you Yeah, the four 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.040 got Terry Funk and uh, you know that you had 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.200 that that rest of but they never stuck together. I'm 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.400 talking about long term tag team fans. You go to 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:23.560 Hard Foundation. They were great, Bret Hart and I always 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.760 like that when the Iron Chek got tagged up with 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:31.439 the boy No no, no, no no, Nikolai Bo he 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.480 used to come out of classy Freddy Blassie. Yeah, and 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.920 you can go with Slick was one of my favorites. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.120 But you can go. You can like who coo? Can 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.839 you say? Um?

You got the British Bulldogs, 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:02.200 that was fine. You had the Rockers margin Eddie and 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:06.120 that was fine. But to me, you talk about demolition, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:12.560 you talk about crush uh acts and smash Yeah, but 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:21.240 who were they? They were a bootleg?

You know their fights 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:44.280 with the Skyscrapers, Vicious and Dangers. Dan Spidey was epic. 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.160 You know what. I grew up in Buffalo, so on 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.320 Saturday nights, I'd always watched c F t O, which 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.440 was a station out of Toronto, the Maple Leaf Gardens 0:14:55.520 --> 0:15:00.720 wrestling Saturday nights, Saturday night. And you know he used 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.280 to fight all the time on this This is a 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:07.360 guy that nobody would even recognize except maybe you s D. 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.440 Jones special delivery job. He used to be the guy 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.760 they he brilliant. No, he wasn't the league guy, but 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.360 he'd always be one of those he'd be he'd be 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.000 on the card and he always lose to like somebody 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.680 beg you know, but we'll get him, get it, get 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:27.200 him early on and Jones, well, well you have to 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:31.360 look at who was so every every wrestling uh uh 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.720 network had their that guy.

He was a fan. That's what you're talking about. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.120 You always want to talk about like the great personalities, 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.000 you know, I mean you think about the guys who 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.280 could sell stuff the best. You know, people like Hogan. 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.360 You know, he wasn't my best interview. I think the 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.440 Nature Boy was much better, um than than Hogan And 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.400 to me, my favorite interview all time, the person that 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.760 gave you the best stuff with the macho man like 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:41.240 you never know what he was. Oh yeah, you know what, 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:47.040 you want to come down to me. Yeah, we're gonna 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.160 come down, mill, Yeah, we're gonna go down.

I mean, Gene would give that look to 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.840 the camera, You just give that look to the camera 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.040 like he should be in ar wrestling of all of fame. Man, 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.320 he's not you know what he may be, but I 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:06.800 think he was the best. You know what I mean? 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.439 People think, do you remember Monday and there wasn't. Uh, 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.000 there's a show on Monday Night on the USA Network. 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.400 It wasn't Monday Night Raw was Um? Was it called 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.840 Prime Time Wrestling? It was mean gene Oakerland and Gorilla Monsoon. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.080 Do you remember every one's while Guerrilla would come out 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.160 of Wressell every like ten years, come out his old 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:32.240 school can't come Bundy outfit and trying to gorillas. Oh 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.400 my god, those are golden years. Oh man, that's that's 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:40.119 when life was simple, man. Life. Um, alright, So the 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.280 election is over. Donald Trump is the president, and we're 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:48.760 not going to talk too much politics here. But after after, 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.080 after watching The Apprentice a few years back, I would 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.359 have never thought this could have been possible. You never 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.320 would have thought Schwarz would have been a governor California either, 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.000 Jesse Venturing the governor in Minnesota. I just think the 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.919 establishment was fed up and good luck, be careful. What 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.800 you wished for should be a wild ride and we'll 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.680 see what happens. Now. You were at the fight. Uh, 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:12.560 you were at the fight Saturday night, So you did 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.359 not see Saturday Night Live. And I don't typically watch 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.960 Saturday Night Live anyway, but Dave Chappelle was on Saturday 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:25.439 Night Live. Now he is he is brilliant, he is 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.520 edgy time he was farting, but he was also touching 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:33.240 at the same time. You know, you know, and Chappell, 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.840 I think you can make people feel uncomfortable too. You 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:41.760 know what I'm saying. Show he can get he can 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.359 go into that sketch comedy, yes, and he can go 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.800 places that other people do. I need to go back 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:50.000 and watch it. You have to watch the open. Yes, yeah, 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.800 he ended it. I will say this that he ended 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:57.040 it with that, basically saying that, um, black people have 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:01.159 been disenfranchised for a long time. And what basically said was, 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.679 you know, I'm willing to give you a chance if 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.879 you're willing to give us a chance. He said that 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.800 at that But he had some jokes and he had 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.919 some skits in there that I never thought would be 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:18.960 on the n Okay. So, yes, you have to watch. 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.880 I gotta check it out. But you know what, comedians 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.359 have always had a place, I think in the healing 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.320 of a country because they can make they can take 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:31.639 these uncomfortable topics that they can make them lighthearted but 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:33.439 still get the point through at the same time. You 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.000 know who does a great job of that is Chris Rock. 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.320 I think he's the best and really bringing politics and 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:43.280 what it's going on in society now to the stage. 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.880 Everybody can't do that. Everybody can't be like Kevin Hart. 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:51.000 Kevin Harden doesn't really bring any social issues because I 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.160 don't know if he's willing to offend anybody and really 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.200 turn off anybody from the fan base. But Chris Rock 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.880 has always done that seamlessly and where people still get 0:19:59.880 --> 0:20:03.879 the message and they feel, you know, entertained and not 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.520 offended at the same time. Now, paraphrasing a little bit, 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:10.000 Kim Martin from Newsday Good reporter who covers the Jets daily, 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.560 caught up a Brandon Marshall about it, and she said, 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:18.240 they're basically talking about social issues right now, and Brandon, uh, again, 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.720 I'm paraphrasing, but he said that I think sometimes guys 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:26.680 feel like pressured now to have a stance on everything 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.879 when it shouldn't be that way. You, as a former 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.320 athlete and as a guy out there all the time, 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.520 how do you feel about that? Because we grew up. 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:40.320 We're talking about the eighties. We grew up early nineties, 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.960 late eighties. Michael Jordan was always the guy that they 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:48.640 get on all the time who was never say anything 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:52.239 k right. And now it seems like there's been a 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:56.119 shift where people are saying you have to take a 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.280 stance on something. And I want to get your view 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.600 on that, because my thing is and I'm not an athlete, 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.080 but I think Brandon is right on that is that 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.920
