Episode Transcript

(00:07):
But not to sidestep. But Ijust read the movie that's being filmed here
Sacramento. Yeah, you see theyshot it right next to uh, what's
that fucking coffee shop off of It'sa grind. Oh yeah, I know
that gas station Grian. They werejust shooting there. Yeah. I just
heard like a list like like Gunthersis in it, or in the area

(00:29):
is our street corridor, which isdope old Sack. It's like Ladybird two
in terms of locations it is,but I think it's like a light humor
deal. Yeah, and those arekind of our main areas old Sacks in
it. Like, I get thatyou're trying to show that. I like
they were just like a punchline.Did know this one? I think the
like synopsis so you know, likethe little thing that ends up on the
DVD says like two friends traveled tothe best city in California. Oh interesting,

(00:53):
they're like from La or something,and Michael Sarah's in it and he
like convinces Homie to do it.The other guy's famous too, I forgot
his name. And then the chickfrom Twilight, Kristen, the main girl.
Yeah, she kind of like Judgewith her crazy haircuts to have like
a moha. Yeah, yeah,I kind of kind of digger. Maybe
it's a merrier, you know,it's should know you should yeah, and
just like push the button and you'remarried. I don't know. She's in

(01:15):
a Sacramento movie. I'm from theSacramento you know you might. There's something
you guys might lock eyes and fallin love at Tiger. Yeah, we
literally could. What if we kissed. There's some crazier things. What if
we kissed on the dance floor atiger. Yeah, crazier things have happened
for sure, and then to you. But then I'd become a vampire.
Yeah, dude, First off,sparkle, I don't know if there's a

(01:37):
hot taker, right. The Twilightmovies are pretty fucking good. No,
I think they're really good. Ididn't watch them till I was really sick.
I don't know when, like twentyseven, twenty eight. I just
had like a flu for a week. I had nothing to do. I'm
like, let's go running. Iran them all. Yeah, they're good,
and there's some corny scenes, butthat's era based. You can't really
blame the movie. They're all likethat. I almost throw the movies.

(01:59):
They're there, they're eatier, butthey're they're congruent with my Harry Potter Lord
of the Rings. They're built onlike love novels. So they got to
have that cornball out. Now it'skind of like some Star Wars ship.
Yeah, it's it's it's a WalmartStar Wars. Yeah, I don't hate
it. When Star Wars started takingitself a little too seriously is when it
got bad, not bad, butnot as good the original like trilogy,

(02:20):
right, it's like really light,harden than kind of corny. Yeah,
and they do have a lot ofcomedic relief in the new ones, but
like some of it's like pretty serious, and then that's not really Star Wars.
Yeah. Yeah, like like itis, but it isn't right,
it's not it's not it gets alittle too heavy, not light. It's
not light. From the beginning ofStar Wars, yeah, C three PO
and R two D two or twoidiots kind of Yeah, and they're they're
actually stolen from another movie. Yeah, they're more more Kawa. Yeah.

(02:44):
Well, the whole thing, alot of people from all well all of
it mostly Stone Startress, yeah andFortress. Most of it's stolen from cores
Sawa. I've heard of that.Yeah, he guys. He's like the
famous Japanese director. I think Omar'sreally in all that world. Yeah,
all those like Sam Verymer will beyondme. Uh. For my birthday,

(03:05):
Sam and his wife got me atiny little piece of the crate dragon from
Star Wars. I saw that picture. That's from the very first that's an
actual piece, and that's from thefirst scene ever basically. Yeah, it's
first scene as soon as they rockit off of Yeah, when they're the
first scene on tattoo. Yeah sick. That's pretty sick. Tiny little chip,
but you know, I still yeah, but I watched those Pond Stars

(03:27):
when that people would bring in likea fucking section of the original Death Star.
All that's worth a million dollars.This is from some company that that's
all they do is they take piecesof famous prop, brilliant and they break
off a piece for everybody exactly.I think it's cool. I got ship
like that, but it's like dirtfrom Yankee Stadium. Yeah, that's cool
from the original. Yeah. Ihave something I wish I would have got.
It's a dirt bleacher from Marco.I know some people did. That

(03:50):
would be cool, Chris had one, but like they're really unmanageable, Like
how do you how do you useit? You don't you put it on
the wall. Yeah, you hideit in a corner. Yeah, it's
impossible though. They were pieces ofshit. Yeah. They literally felt like
a high school dugout. They said, like MS thirteen card on him.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.Some are like red jew they're not even
like all purple, some purple,some scattered, there were some scattered ones.

(04:12):
It was a mess. It wasa mass times. So since the
last time we were together, um, you know, we talked, we
talked about full Swing. Earlier inthe year or part of it, there
was still this giant merger between LIVand the PGA. Yeah yeah, n
DP World Tour, Yeah, whichwas the former European Tour. Like why

(04:32):
would you take the name that madeit legitimate at all out of the name
of the league. That never madeany sense to me. There's so many
just like funny wrinkles in there,right, Like Tiger said no to eight
hundred million last year and now he'sbasically forced to just work for two out
of like the main guys, it'stwo point one billion dollars. That was

(04:54):
like lost in translation, and themerger had of at least started conversations at
the same time. And I knowbusiness is business, but you know what
I mean, that merger didn't happenin two weeks now there's apparently it's been
they were working over the last weekbefore it came the news broke to everybody.
Yeah, it just kind of sucks. And then it shows you like
this is kind of like obviously thiswas the long call the whole time.

(05:15):
Yeah, we're just all finding outlast, including the players for sure.
Yeah, it just sucks for themoney just wasn't right in the first place.
And then it goes back to evenlike Trump was like said this was
going to happen. Yeah, He'slike, oh no, their money just
wasn't The money wasn't there. It'sgonna happen. You'll see, they're gonna
come together, and then he endedup being right. It just sucks.
At golf is historically like a prizepool based on winning, and then some
guys now have contracts and then somedon't. So it just changed the platform

(05:40):
fully. Where NBA has always beenan MLB or whatever, it's always contract
based on performance. In your negotiationwith the team, then you obviously get
bonuses based on what you did.Um, and so it just kind of
sucks to me for yeah, guyslike Tiger, not I'm the huge,
biggest Tiger fan, but guys thathave put in their hours and he's kind
of getting but fucked well, thinkhe cares about the money's already Yeah,

(06:03):
no, one's gonna say no.But if you already have a billion dollars,
you can't even spend with that youalready, So for him, like
it's like the morals and the moneydoesn't matter anymore. No, But that's
what sucks is he stood it forhis morals and he loses. What's That's
what I don't what's that? What'sthat? Fucking example? Do we talk
about this yet? The billion differentbetween a million and a billion as far
as like seconds ago or minutes ago. Oh no, we're like a million

(06:25):
minutes ago was like not that longago, but a billion years ago was
like the start of their Greek empire. It's like that's a difference between a
billion and a million. Yeah,billion seconds, I mean yeah, it
was like to show you a gap, to show you the gap of it
is. But we're so cushion becausewe know people that have billions of dollars
like in the world, right thatwe don't think of it like that big
of a number or that different froma million. But like, yeah,

(06:47):
but it really like you can't fathomhow much a billion really is when all
the listeners, I bet a largepercentage don't have a personal friend that's a
billionaire. But everyone's got a friendthat's a millionaire. Yes, yeah,
even though I may have a billionairefriend, I think we could be a
little bit off a billion. Secondsis just it's just thirty one years,
all right, So I must havebeen a minute. It must have been

(07:08):
a minutes minute, it must havebeen minutes, yeah, yeah, or
even days or whatever it is.There's there's sports news happen everywhere. My
boy, Messi's coming to America.Welcome dude, enter Miami. Did you
hear there like a last place teamanymore? Bitch? Are they are league?
No? No? There there mlsMLS Because I just read somebody a
mutual friend that I won't mention theirname we talked about earlier. Yeah,

(07:30):
yeah, mentioned that if everything likegoes perfectly, he could play in sacrament
I think that's a USL Cup thing, Okay, that's like a cup,
almost like a got you tournament.Because I was just looking up like the
random Stats or Random Stats Republican withmy Twitter and like the average um PSG,
which is where MESSI was arenas likeeighty thousand people. Lord the average

(07:53):
into Miami seventeen thousand people. Butthe tickets just automatically for their opening day
in September went from eighty dollars aticket to five hundred dollars a ticket.
Of course, Yeah, bro,I want to go. I'll pay five
hundred. Watch MESSI. That's myguy. Yeah, he might see me
in the crowd and just know,Yeah, that's why, guy, might
I call you down? He's like, it isn't that. It isn't that
a Kristen Stewart's husband. The uh, the fucking what? What? What?

(08:22):
What's our lead called? USL?I think it's USL. I think
you're writing I don't know for sure, and we're like at the top of
that, like, what do wehave to do, you know, to
work our way in? Yeah,I think it's politics. I heard that
ship sailed like it's like not evenpossible. I think it's possible. But
I think part of it was pandemicbecause it was happening during the pandemic.
The money going in. It's allabout the money going in. So we

(08:45):
had some Microsoft X exec who dumpingmoney and then he pulled out, right,
Yeah, yeah, so that waspart of it. I do think
we had planned to build a biggerarena. I think it's gonna happen,
dude, happened. There's too muchhappening right now in this city. There
was supposed to be some huge announcementphone some I think that was the Dwight
Howard news that he might come shot. That's the news. I think that's
because I saw like a political ishpage, yeah, say something like Tomorrow's

(09:09):
big News, And I was thinkingall the comments I was on their page
like all Star game or something inthose that's how they do with didn't fucking
what's his name news talk about somenew gun California gun. Yeah, I
thought, I think that's unrelated.But yeah, I saw him talk about
that, though today I don't know. I know Steinberg yes said he's not
rerunning our mayor. God, butI thought I thought, um, yeah,

(09:30):
I thought something cools guys like DwightHoward, here's fine that will.
I thought it was all Star game. That's what I commented everyone everyone the
thing. I'm like, all Starprobably m Yeah, I thought something crazy
was going on and Dwight Howard herewould be cool. But that's not really
what I was Yeah, maybe tenyears ago. I mean we kind of
just having a random athletic big islike good, he's not gonna change our

(09:52):
game team. But it's so funny, dude, Like the Big is like
making a comeback. Now what thefuck? Like they were like a relevant
the only the only difference is nowthey're back. The only difference is that
they can shoot. Well, that'swhy we need Cousins back. Yeah,
Boogie's playing fucking Spain. Uh yeah, and then I saw him playing yes
in some like random little turney.I think is to be cool. What

(10:13):
if we pick up Cousins and Dowight. Dude, if we had Cousins,
I would take Poses maybe a littleyounger. Yeah, I would take Cousins
over Sabonis. Hot take. That'sa real hot take. I want to
take my guy. I don't hateSabonis. Well you get both, dude,
but I just doesn't think our team. I think Cousins would be so
happy with our team. I thinkso too, we'd have a totally different

(10:35):
cousin in the Kentucky deals going onstill and he's gonna you got the Kentucky
exactly where I was going with that. You got the Kentucky connection, You
got the three point range again witha with a bigger guy. Zibonis just
needs to be a little more confidentin his jumper. But because he can
shoot too. Dot Dodwyt I thinkwould be a good piece. DeMarcus would
be a great piece. He's soflat on his feet when he shoots.
O dude, Yeah, I thinklooks like a shooter when he shoots.

(10:56):
Yeah, the SODA's joke Kitchen.That dude's fucking He's different all. You
can't you can't really compare him toanything. That dude is mall And I
love that guy. I love thatguy that does those like player like impersonations
you see Jokae. Yeah, justhow is really good. It's so funny.
It's really good. This passing.Yeah, sports world's going I just
feel like news in general is kindof going crazy right now. There's always
ship going on, but now Ifeel there's a ton of ship because it's

(11:18):
warmer out. Dude, when theship gets warm, working. We're so
new UFO News too, love fireme up. Oh yeah, apparently I
was at lunch with a bunch ofpeople talking UFOs and not going to the
moon, and they're gonna add,you don't think we went to the moon?
Not for sure, we definitely.Yeah, that's more believable than than

(11:39):
they're being like provable UFOs. Butat the same time, the Buzz Aldridge
ship though, man, listen tothat guy. People think he's just nuts.
He was nuts. Yeah, buthe says that there's a lot of
he said, those ship up therethat they saw. I don't know,
Buzz just trying to sell a book. Now he wasn't he didn't. So
apparently like senior government official has saidthat, yes, indeed that we have

(12:05):
alien captured craft. Yes, there'sU and the what the things that are
they're made out of not from thisworld there they're also this week there I
did hear UFO news. I forgotwhat city it was, but there was
fifty people have pictures of the samething. Oh really, um, and

(12:26):
hundreds of thousands saw it. Idon't think we talked about on this,
but there's a show moment of contactor a movie moment of contact. That's
kind of the newest going crazy onewhere um that's on Amazon Prime. Maybe
I forgot Yeah, I know someof those ships. Uh. It basically
goes back to this place in Brazil, same idea. I think it's Brazil.
Don't quote me, but the girls. There's three sisters that literally saw

(12:48):
a dude. Yeah, and thenthere's doctors that say they picked something up
from there, but they won't saywhat, how, when, and they're
saying that it was like a derangedhomeless person. Yeah. Yeah. The
girl's like, no, this wasnot a person. And the crazy part
is is covered in dirt from beingin the elements. Yeah. And then
there is another guy that saw thesame thing and documentary filmmaker takes him back

(13:09):
to that spot. This Brazilian cat. Now he's like forty fifty, but
at the time he was probably fifteentwenty. And the emotions this guy shows
your breakdown is crazy is crazy.So you're kind of like, all right,
man, like he saw something,whether what he saw is accurate or
not, but that motherfucker something scarredhim. We've all seen our fair share
of dirty homeless yeah, but Idon't get emotion every time I drive by

(13:31):
one. I'd be emotional twenty fourseven, especially lately, well at this
particular news if a federal whistle blowerabout this basically saying that government has all
this stuff has been called credible byan intelligence community inspector general says, the
US military has quite a number ofspacecraft in custody of non human origin.

(13:56):
Yeah, we got we got greenthings, reverse engineering. No, what
do people hate on? Like Ikind of like Thizar. Yeah, he
doesn't have a really an agenda either. No, that's what makes him so
credible. That's why I like himand all these so just like matter of
factly and all the shit that hetalked about with like how they would buzz
in and everybody's like, all thatsounds so made up and fucking sci fi
bullshit, and then like thirty yearslater the pictures come out. So it's

(14:16):
exactly how he explained it. Eventhe element he has didn't even know how
it even worked, Like do youthey put their hands in like these like
little metal like wires, would likemeasure their hands and like do some shit.
He said, that's how they wouldget into Area fifty one. I
believe they're like, oh, thatsounds made up and he draw and they're
like, oh, okay, whatthe hell does that even do? And
then there's like pictures of the actualmachine. Yeah, that came out.
They're like, oh, do wewrap this? And then go into I

(14:41):
got one more, I got Igot a new feature. Then I want
to add to the to the show. This is you know what I mean
though, Like wrap this and thenwe actually go into what we're suppos talking
about. Oh yeah, yeah,yeah, I'm gonna do this. Let's
do this and then we'll then we'llwrap this. Okay. So I heard
this on another show and it wasmisnamed to my to my way of thinking,
they called it u rosebud and thorn, and that just sounded dirty to

(15:01):
me. Yeah, um, Rosebudding'sa thing. Yeah, Yeah, that's
fucking disgusting. Yeah, what I'mtalking I feel like I have it just
just from me've squatting a lot.Dude. You never questioned those old school
pictures of like blown out squats.I don't know about squats, but we
AM's world. We all I don'twant to mention names either, but we

(15:22):
have like two friends that that happenedtoo. And it's not from anal pro
lapse. Yeah, not anymore.Yeah, where their butt fell out of
their butt. No, I don'tthink it's just genetics. But I swear
to God, I've been doing buttkeegels, thinking maybe they'll trying to keep
everything together. Maybe I'm getting old. Yeah you're thirty five yet December,

(15:43):
I'm thirty five. We've seen minutes. Yeah, real band, And so
I'm worried about my butt rose budding. It's totally not in irrational fear.
Thank you, thank you, thankyou for what do they say validating me?
So for this, I want tosay, not rosebud, but just
like rose, Like every rose hasa thorn, right, okay, So

(16:03):
kiss from a rose? Yeah,kiss from a rose. So do you
have a rose this week or thornthis week that you want to share?
Like a good thing? About thata good thing a bad thing? You
can either do both or just oneus do a gratitude. I like roses.
Um nothing pops on my head.The weather's insane. I thought about
that. I don't know if it'sa it's a I guess it's a rose

(16:25):
or a thorn, depending where youcome from or what you're into. But
normally I was writing to the gymthis morning on my bicycle at like nine,
and I had to wear a hoodie, yeah, which is unheard of
in June. Like I used torun a basketball camp, so most of
them were in June, back backin the day. And outdoor courts,
indoor courts. You'd have to doa mix because we have hundreds of kids
and I just remember dying. SoI having some seventy degree weather normally.

(16:48):
Also, our springs quote unquote springweather is like a week. Yeah,
and we've had like a month,which is very nice. So there's my
rose maybe. Yeah, you know, I would say my rose is just
kind of just kind I've really beengetting back at it in the gym,
feeling you know, feeling good,feeling the energy, dialing, dialing back
the junk, you know, becausei'd still like train occasionally and in the

(17:11):
kind of junkie here, but kindof reeling things in a little bit,
getting things tighter, a little routine. Yeah, and I'm feeling good about
it and it feels very manageable.It's not very the uh, I don't
feel like it's much of the timeof year for routine, but I feeling
good routine too, you like know, most people don't start with even with
work. Yeah goodlow good flow rightnow, I feel pretty good flow about
to Yeah, well, I'm gonnathrow a thorn in because nobody else did.

(17:33):
Yeah, and it's just just along term thorn for me, just
kind of revisited this week. Andthat is UM, when people do business
in ways that don't make any senseto me at all, or make any
sense to anybody else. This isyou know, this was a problem five
years ago, UM when I observedpeople doing business that didn't make any sense

(17:53):
at all, and then we justre encountered that with with a situation that
we were trying to get into wherethere was just no logic at all that
would break through to anyone. AndI don't understand why anyone gets into business
and then doesn't like want to adhereto business principles at all. I understand

(18:14):
being a disruptor, but that's essentiallya marketing thing and sometimes a structural thing,
but it's not a way of doingbusiness thing. I wonder, because
I can only speak on doing businessin the last like fifteen years since I've
done it, I wonder if itis part of the trend that business is
like cool now because everyone wants todo business now. But there's less business

(18:37):
men or professionals where I wonder ifthat was the case, because at least
growing up and even my dad's likegeneration, it was like go to college,
get a job, and like bea professional, but you're not like
business entrepreneur. Now it's like sidehustle, do your gig, like find
your passion and chase that like buildyour own thing. Like that's the narrative.
So I wonder if it's shoving toomany people in that world who shouldn't

(19:00):
be in there. Yeah, andthen they don't act that way or they
just don't know, like yes,some basics like given just communication. I
have another one. It's probably tooI'll do it all fair. It's probably
too suita blasted. But yeah,the same idea. Like the worst professional
thing I ever dealt with ever yesterday, I already deleted it from my brains.
Professional. Yeah, it's probably we'lldo it all fair. That's clo'
that's a real short term. Itwas really bad. The worst one I've

(19:23):
ever dealt with was a guy whoactually it was Daniel Snyder's company before he
bought the the Washington football team whatare they called now? The Washington football
team? They have the name.I don't know commanders, but I think
they're trying to change the chage thatagain. Yeah, because it's being sold.
Oh again. Yeah, that's afucking doomed franchise. Yeah, it's

(19:45):
it's being so yeah, everyone threeeveryone. I wanted Daniel Snyder to sell
it because he's a biggish owner.But like this guy that worked for him,
one of his senior vice presidents,absolute asshole. Like I've never hung
up on anybody in a business phonecall before, and it was the same

(20:06):
thing, like can we adhere tolike standard civility practices within Yeah, like
do not scream at me. Ican't hear you when you scrim at me,
and you're scrimming at the wrong personbecause I can't affect any change on
the thing you're bitching about. Ohand by the way, what you're doing
was illegal, So we're not gonnabe rolling along with that. And like

(20:27):
just not getting through at all,not know anything, no no realization at
all that they're well you get alot of you get a lot of narcissists
in yeah, in business for sure, right you know. Uh, so
you've got to deal with that.Yeah, did ever tell you guys a
story about UM Dark Canada website.I think so off shit, I haven't

(20:52):
that people might want to hear.It's a quick story. The only time
we've really had bad business, youknow, like we usually are pretty good
with like fucking with people that werefriends with Brier to like any other kind
of relationship. Anything we've done withmost people has been people that we know
or I've been around and the like, you know, it's do something,
let's you know, let's let's talkkind of thing. You vet them pretty

(21:12):
good. But this time, youknow, and then backfired. Yeah,
some company reaches out to us.You know, we're having some early success.
You know, it's early days ofc K and we're UM, you
know, things are moving and shakingearly, and this company's like, oh,
we will run your Canada website foryou. I got to worry about
shipping to Canada anymore. We weren'tcurrently shipping to Canada, or we were,

(21:33):
but we wanted to expand our canyou know, and it's expensive when
you're that, when you're that newinto business, you think, I need
a fucking hub in every country.Yeah, you know what I mean,
Like that's what the old school kindof distribution kind of how it worked right,
and now you can send things toCanada for like nine dollars, which
is like kind of expensive, butalso like also can be more than that,
but like you know what I'm saying, Yeah, it's more affordable now
where before it wasn't the case anyways. So then okay, we set it

(21:56):
up. They mirror our website.Things are going well, they're doing good
with sales, and then I just, I guess I just one of us
had a hunch. I remember whoit was. You're going the site to
make sure everything looks the same,everything's going good, open it up in
the landing page is like some equipmentcompany. These fucking guys start selling their

(22:17):
own like merchant equipment on Kevin andKilos dot com Canada without telling us or
asking us and whatever. And wecall them up. We're like, hey,
guys, like what the hell isgoing on here? Like this is
highly fucking illegal and also like breacha contract and like we're done. Yeah,

(22:37):
like there's no coming back from thislong story short, the guy fuckings
get starts getting hysterical, causing isseen like oh, I got people's livelihoods
on the line. I'm like,well you should have thought of that.
Yeah, if you saw before youstarted using our name to sell your own
ships, sense, it was inour contract you couldn't sell anything else on

(23:00):
site. It was like I hadto be exact mirror duplicate of our site,
Like there's ways of doing that onTropify and blah blah blah. And
it was just like and like whatdo you what do you who? Where?
Did you ever think that that wasgoing to be okay? Yeah?
How do you expect that to playout? And then the guy's dad called
us. I think his dad investedin the ship with him, and they
got and we told them they couldsell off the remaining inventory they had.

(23:22):
We weren't like fucking dicks about it, like, oh, you can't sell
the inventory that you bought from us, you know, like you know,
it was like we let them sellwhat they had. Yeah, they're using
abusing your name. Yeah, theywere just using our name to sell your
like equipment stuff. It was likethis whole fucking scam. It started getting
some steam. Yeah, why don'tthey approach right, like again the profession
of professionality about it. Hey,keviny Kilos, I have an idea about

(23:44):
this equipment company. I want tostart, and I was wondering, is
what if I used this URL tosell kuffny kilos and mine and I gave
you X amount of what I made? Probably would have said, okay,
yeah, or would you like meto send you some of this equipment and
maybe you could try it out andwe could almost do the reverse mirror where
you could sell my equipment in America. Also, you're Captaine million ways right,
Yeah, like just just throw optionsout, open a conversation, see

(24:07):
what happens, rather than yeah,who the fuck's just doing shit? That's
out of left field? Yeah,it was crazy. Anyways, that was
kind of my bad business two centscrazy. Well, on that note,
let's take a little break. Okay, when we're back. Connor McGregor.

(24:33):
Yeah, so McGregor forever, yeah, forever like Batman, Like he's Batman.
Where is anyone here? Uh?Connor McGregor fan, do wegin with?
Yeah? I'd say I'm a fan, all right, Jim. Yeah,
I love the ufc UM and Ireally enjoyed Connor's come up. And
then I took a break from justwatching shit, probably because we're building this

(24:56):
gym and so H kind of lostand now I'm a little bit back into
it. But I used to watchevery major fight. Now I watched big,
big ones, and then I wouldI was actually not a McGregor fan,
but not like I put him tothe side, like he was my
villain, you know what I mean, which he did well right, like
you either loved him or you hatedhim. He's kind of a heel,
but that's what he did well,and so I enjoyed McGregor. But I

(25:18):
was never a fan, but thenwatching this, this is my second time
through, you do become more ofa fan. He is more likable than
I would expect it, right,But I also think that he's been in
this documentary. He must have cooperatedwith it, because he's painted in a
very favorable I think this is hisship. Feels like I'm sure his team.

(25:38):
He's got so much money. I'msure his team has his hands in
the script. The other thing,too, is how these sports docs.
And I love sports docs because Ilove sports, and I think the emotional
attachment you can get to people orevents is just so easily grouped into sports,
I guess, but this one inparticular, even Last Dance, like

(25:59):
all of them, you can changethe narrative so much by editing. Yeah,
and and and they make that uhus the whole thing, US the
whole thing. Yeah, okay,so I watch the whole thing like a
couple months ago, but last nightI just rewatched uh two episodes and even
in the first two episodes, whichis obviously the goal of the documentary,
like they just flip a fucking switch, right, he goes from WWE heel

(26:21):
to running for president. Yeah,right, Like he just becomes mister pr
Like, hey, he's so goodto see you, you know, I'm
like, holy fuck, Like thisis obviously edited so well to show these
Yeah, it's yeah, I thinkdifferent human. Yeah, we've talked about
it before, like these are whatthey call hagiographies, where it's just it's
congratulatory and celebratory of the person ornot a good examination because they like the

(26:45):
one case, the one US likeassault case that they talk about in the
thing is one of like eight orsomething on him. Yeah, it could
be one with the wheelchair. Thewheelchair talk about that was literally I watched
that like basically live. That wasthe craziest thing. I remember that.
I thought I thought it was scripteda fake Yeah, yeah, it looks

(27:07):
like it was fake. Everybody thought, like, I mean, a lot
of people were like, wait asecond, It's like, what is UFC
doing? Dude? It was literallywwe Like, that's literally stone cold going
to the parking lot and trying torun some undertaker. Imagine flying from Ireland
to come do that. Yeah yeah, yeah, well it could be right.
He flew half across the country tolike fight or support his buddies fighting.
But it is believable. Um andDana White, I think, is

(27:29):
quoted in that thing. He's like, oh yeah, like this whole game
is about respect and he lose respect. You know, these guys aren't and
he mentions also he's like the guysthat fight, a lot of these guys
aren't wired like the rest of us. Like Dana's pretty wise, whether you
like him or not, Like hesays some hy shit sometimes, and in
this documentary they obviously picked some ofhis wiser quotes, but it just plays
so much in here, like andwe've all met some ufccats. Some of
them are very normal and much likeus, and some of them are wired

(27:52):
very different. Yes, yes,yeah for sure, yes, like all
that statement of the year, yeahyeah, yeah. He he went from
having you know, this public personathat was very very bold and brash and
whatever, just fucking sounding like ColinFarrell. Yeah no, he literally I
thought he was running for president.Yeah, like even what the interviewers he's

(28:15):
like, yeah, I just matchenergies and like his whole everything about him
so different than watching the Grindy Connorthough, like of him just like showing
up every day like that ship waslike, man, like this guy really
knows how to like go all inand and his trainers talking about him like
a lot of trainers talk about theirathletes that way, but they say like,
no, he just likes to train. You could just see it.

(28:37):
And also in his body types rightlike right now he looks like complete dog
shit. I'm watching the Toughs anew Tough season, yeah, and that
just started. He looks so terrible. Really live in the wealth life dude,
he's got like the coke bloat face. He's just like clearly like off
of like some serious cycling. Yeah, you know, like because he's got
those weird arms. To France No, well kind of yes, top fifty

(29:00):
to fifteen, top fifteen Tour deFrance or um. But uh yeah,
it's uh it's interesting, Uh,I kind of did you guys notice like
kind of him in the Dana relationshipwas interesting. Yeah, it was more
of like a partnership than like heworks for Danana or I guys a fighter.
It's more just like they're on thesame playing field. I did assume,

(29:22):
which is interesting. Yeah, Idid assume that. And I've heard
and obviously rubbed elbows with some ofthese guys in same with WWE's just a
decent um reference I think is thatonce you make it to a certain level,
you kind of are yeah, likebecause what if and we're seeing other
drama in the world with like umYouTube and Twitch and kick and all these
streaming platforms, Like, once youelevate to a certain level, you kind

(29:42):
of the ball is in your courtbecause if if McGregor at his height and
coulbib or whoever, and he kindof did with the Mayweather thing, but
imagine he just says like, yeah, I'm gonna go bare knuckle fight or
I'm gonna go do these jiu jitsutournaments. UC is going to take a
big hit, h like and Ghanodid it, and they took a little
hit, but in Ghana wasn't evenclose to the level of McGregor, like
Greg McGregor was two UFC arguably whatJordan was to basketball. You don't you

(30:08):
don't watch basketball, You don't havea clue you know who the fuck Jordan
is. You don't have a clueabout UFC. You kind of know cage
fighting or this and that, andyou know who McGregor is. So like
at his height, if he kindof I wouldn't say he had the potential
to ruin the UFC, but hehad the potential to make a fat dent
in Dana's life. And so itmakes sense that they kind of do see

(30:29):
more eye to eye than what you'dexpect, and maybe not quite as equal
as that, but like we knowyou're a favor and when you look at
the relationship between him and Dana,why they do seem like buddies. Yeah,
very it seems very close. Yeah, and and and and yeah,
maybe not because your eyes direct impactpersonally, but like Team Alpha Male historically,
like he's he's like a feeder tothe UFC. Figure out how many

(30:52):
guys came out of there, right, That's what I mean. Yeah,
So like if if they have abad relationship household names, then your eye
clearly can get his guy's ear andgo to a different league. Go to
isn't a gono going to the otherleague? Now? The fight one something
like that, Yeah, not Pride, but yeah, some new one called
something fight one. So like itis because they don't have like insane contracts
unless her McGregor those guys could literallyjust say screw you and go somewhere else.

(31:15):
Apparently like that company is internationally biggerthan the UFC. Oh maybe yeah,
boxing they do all kinds of shipor like they get the same amount
of attendance at those fights rubbin elbowsmore in like the world of that.
Like I feel like the UFC iswhen you just say, like fitness and
then obviously where we all are,like we're deep into these niches of weightlifting,
powerlifting and CrossFit and all of usknow a lot of people across all

(31:37):
those boards. I feel like UFC'slike that. So you go uf C,
and then that you have like thejiu jitsu grappling crowd, then you
have the mutai crowd, you haveall these different crowds. I started to
dig in there more with my lasttrip hanging out with Nicky rod Nikki Rodrigo,
shout of my boy like one ofthe best grapplers in the world arguably
like you know, the Lebron Jamesmaybe of that world, as as Ryan
Gordon's the Michael Jordan. But um, the niche within the knee of the

(32:00):
niche is crazy to me, youknow because then like big time UFC fighters
are calling Nikki to come coach him. Nikki's fucking twenty six, you know,
but he's just such a savant andwhat he does. Um. Yeah,
the different leagues around the world arelike that. Or you see ADCC,
which is like kind of the WorldCup of Grappling. M the crowds

(32:20):
are crazy. The crowds are packed. It's like a UFC crowd, you
know. So like there's stuff goingon. Jiu jitsu is also becoming so
massive too, like like his YouTube'sgoing crazy. Yeah, it's just it's
just blowing the fuck up. Everybody'sdone. Everybody's doing it. Everybody's got
a blue belt now, you knowwhat I mean, Like all of our
like how many of our friends ablue belts? Now everybody you can go

(32:42):
you can walk outside and Sacramento andfind like some world class gyms, so
right, you can go to Ultimatevidas you go like one world like there's
like really good yeah, like grappling, jiu jitsu, whatever, it's probably
more all around here. There's probablymore jiu jitsu gyms that are legitimate than
they are like wait, lifting orpower lifting gyms in the high wrestling is
a fucking like uh forced to bereckoned with later school like again and they

(33:07):
got like my buddy Nick Jordan's gotthat he's from Alpha Male. He uh
opened up his like academy in ElkGrove, like the wrestling camp, like
if you got fucking if you're that'swhere people are going to train wrestling there,
you know what I mean. Likeit's like you want to get fucked
up. Yeah, like if youwant to people out, it was a
place to be. I'm good.Yeah, I'm good too. I don't
understand some people just like to getphysical. If yeah, if I'm gonna

(33:29):
hit somebody, I ain't playing,Yeah I want to. I want to
just like hit him and have itbe over, you know. Yeah,
Yeah, I don't know. Ijust I'm just claustrophobic. And you wrestled
in middle school C wrestling, Yeahyeah, I uh wasn't a big fan
of the rules, like I gotin a lot of trouble for handlocks.
Oh yeah, you know really likethat. I kind of would black out.
That's where, like ADCC and likeother grappling is even more complicated than

(33:52):
power lifting. They got the millionfeds in each tournament has Yeah, you're
completely different. You can do bodyslams and sound where you can't do him
in submissions only you can lock handsand some Yeah. Yeah, it's a
brutal world. Yeah, but hangingout with those guys, man, they
were cool. I hung out withlike the whole B team For those listening
that are into grappling jiu jitsu,they were just so cool. Bro,
Yeah they're sick, they're usually reallychill. Yeah, these guys were so

(34:12):
nice. They reminded me of likethe good group of powerlifters, you know,
like they get after it and I'mliterally hanging out with like five of
the best on the planet and they'rejust so nice, so normal, just
regular cats trying to figure it out. Yeah, for sure, it's very
similar, but then you see,yeah, then you get personalities like McGregor.
His early interview clips were cool,like because I think that was a
better balance of who he actually wasas a fighter, and he was like

(34:36):
nineteen or something. Yeah, buthe's like, I'm going to the UFC
like he had. He had likea stern confidence rather than like a show.
And I think one of the bigreasons I didn't like McGregor's I could
tell he was putting on a littlebit where like because then people throw references
like Ali and all this stuff.I'm like, dude, Ali is like
mensa, smart, witty, iQ like Allie said some of the funniest

(34:57):
shit, and he would dance aroundyour brain. He's so good and like
McGregor would like, like make afart joke to me, you know,
like he talked more loudly than theseother guys because some of the ufccats are
literally dead, you know, theygot no charisma. And he was funny
at times for sure, but Icould tell some of it was like forced
or like ramped up. And hewas obviously a worked He made ship tons

(35:20):
of money and he got to wherehe wanted to go. But for me,
just being such a big all Leefan, I think that's kind of
what turned him. Healed to meis I was like, yeah, but
he's just not like all these interviewsif you watch him, are so fucking
funny. I wait, I getwhat you're saying. I kind of went
in like flows or phases with McGregorwere like I really liked his come up,
and then when he got there,it was kind of like, Okay,
I'm kind of tired of this guy. Yeah, like he's grabbing Kabib's

(35:40):
belt. I'm like, well,I get it, and then he's like
yeah he goes he takes too farand that kind of turns people off,
and then you kind of then thenyou watch something like this, just like,
man, this guy's a really goodfamily guy. Yeah he seemed like
it. But for me, I'mlike, oh man, this guy's like
a really good dad. One thinggot really emotional and I'm not even a
dad, so maybe you guys gotemotional too. Where he did get his
ass who up and he's talking Danaeand I give a fuck. And then

(36:01):
and then the only thing that changedhis mood is when his kid runs over
there. Yeah, yeah that gotme. I I didn't like, I've
choked up on other things, butthat one, like I definitely felt that,
but like it didn't like choke meout, but I was like,
oh man, like he needed thatbecause I could see him change, and
you wouldn't think a guy like thatwould because how he acts, he acts
kind of like a narcissist, butI don't think he is. Now he

(36:21):
would act like one and then goingyeah and then and then his kid hit
and you could actually see his wholedemeanor change. I'm like, oh see,
like he's in there. He's juststuck in his head right now.
I think he thinks he has toact like a like a yeah, you
know, an egomaniac, a narcissistin order to be success. Yeah,
he's trying to be Alia. Yeah, where Allie's just naturally so charismatic and

(36:42):
like cocky, and Alie believed hisship, but he also didn't believe it
at the same time. Yeah,well, and I don't all that comes
from his fear, right, whichI which, which is why I liked
the early McGregor because I get itlike I get it in regular sports,
like I act like I'm the shipin basketball and powerlifting to fight out any
demons that are tell me I can'tso let alone. You're going to fight
another man to the death. Youhave to do that. I understand that.

(37:05):
But yeah, his like true confidenceor true affirmations of how he's acting
versus yeah, just the you know, the dramatic ass one that wasn't even
that. He's taken shots of whiskeyat the promos and I'm like, I
get it, you're selling whiskey,but like it just felt so forced sometimes.
But then on the opposite of that, I don't like pushy McGregor either,

(37:25):
like where he's just like, yes, I you respect everyone, and
like, all right, man,I get it, but how do you
flip the switch so hard, likegive me a little fire? Now?
I think that's probably the real guy, and I think maybe I think that
the other part of it is thething he thinks he has to be.
Yeah, and then like little stuffthey talk about him like in his trainers
obviously, and it's part of thenarrative of the documentary, but it probably
is true for a lot of people. And that's where I'm in a good

(37:46):
flow with work and lifting right nowtoo, is like most of us.
I think you power lifters as well. The first thing that popped in my
head is like they all think theyhave to lift angry. Ye, I
have to get fired up. Ihave to listen to to Satan to fucking
pull this thing to get that doubtout of my head. But his trainers
said it too. Is like McGregor'sthe best when he's having fun and he's

(38:07):
focused on training because he likes totrain, so have fun training and so
like, I literally think ninety fivepercent of powerlifters are the same. We're
all human. Like, you don'thave to sniff ammonia slap your back like
just because you saw one guy dothat, you do that to get the
doubt out because you haven't doven deepenough into your own self awareness to know
what allows you to succeed. Butonce you figure out that you can do

(38:30):
it other methods, whether it's calm, whether it's fun, whether it's this
and that, we're all probably betteroff over there. Um. The amount
of people that really get off byhate or really get off by anger,
I think it's far and few between. I would agree it's just the default
to numb those boys. Yeah,if you're going to do this and you

(38:51):
have to do it like this,yeah, it's because you see everyone else
do. It's monkey see monkey do. Yeah. That's so much a powerlifting
period. Yeah, and kind ofany any sport. Somebody's getting into it
for like a maximum effort kind of. Yeah, maybe not as much in
bodybuilding, Yeah, mister Ronnie Coleman, Yeah maybe yeah, but he's yea
lifting heavy ass weights. But healso having fun. He's having a good
ass, right, You're right,that's why Ronnie's having About example, Ronnie

(39:12):
and Arnold, I think are probablythe best best examples. You see Arnold
stuff, he's joking around the guynext to him, but then he'll go
get a set, and he's gettingafter a set, and then he's joking
about the guy out here. He'sjoking about his calves and yeah, yeah,
that's so good. And that's kindof what I was talking about.
In terms of Ali. I thinkthat like Ali had no no problem believing
that he was the greatest, noproblem believing that, and when but when

(39:32):
he talked about it to other people, there was kind of a teasing undertone
to it, and it was notreally self deprecating, but kind of anyway,
it was like tolerable because it wasso much more nuanced than what everybody
else who's a copycat? But arewe gonna ignore are we just gonna not
talk about the fact that all thoseAli fights were probably fixed? Though I

(39:54):
don't know yeah, we're talking aboutpersona though, and not you know,
I know, yeah, I thinkbecause I was thinking about like Mike Tyson,
right, which is the other oneyou throw in the conversation, who
really was angry, but like hischildhood was so different. Yeah, like
he did have demons, he wasactually fighting. Yeah, And and his
anger did seem to put him ona new level of success where like,

(40:15):
yeah, even Ali's not like angrylike that, he's talking shit McGregor.
I mean, who knows, theydon't dig into it a ton, but
it seems like his childhood was probablyokay, you know what I mean,
Like it probably wasn't the best thingever, but he definitely wasn't in the
Mike Tyson levels. He said hestepped into the gym because he was tired
of being afraid. Yeah, andand was like whoa, that was fucking
heavy. Yeah. He's such agood fucking speaker. He is pretty good

(40:37):
when he's like talking, he's talkingnormal. He goes like the stuff with
him doing the community service in thechurch, always kind of like that philosophical
thoughts. Is that the right word? Yeah, Yeah, just a kind
of his like just like him andjust his observing and then like digesting like
information the way that he and theway he can like articulate that, and

(40:57):
it seemed genuine when he's like readingthe stuff in the church, it seemed
genuine. That's what this documentary mademe a little more with this kid.
He seems genuine with his real thoughts. He seems genuine. Yeah, that
part I do like about him andhim just talking to the people at the
church. You feel like we reallylike got something out of that. Even
with the kids, when he's talkingto the New Irish kids, Like that
wasn't like the most articulate best speechhe's ever given, but it seemed genuine
at that at that awful sponsor wherehe's like wearing the gloves steering the interview.

(41:22):
What was that? I don't know? That pretty like okay, we're
gonna give an extra Yeah, that'swhile you're talking. That was weird.
That was really weird. We're alsothat place probably paid him a shit ton
of money probably, so this thingwas pretty long. Yeah we're talking over
four hours. Yeah, about fourhours. It says it's part one old

(41:43):
lord, like who knows right,because they did they said that with the
Kanye one two and Nothing's come outin like a year or so. Maybe
they just kill it, but itsays right, I think it says part
one, episode one, two threefour, he hasn't fought since. Yeah,
I don't know. Yeah, maybethey do a retirement version, yeah,
because I mean, dude, likehe's supposed to fight Michael Chandler based
off of this tough thing. Butlike the Dana just did a press conference
about it the other day and it'slike, yeah, you know, it's

(42:05):
kind of tough to get these likeI don't even think they're gonna fight.
Yeah, they might not. Doesevery tough coach fight each other? Still?
Well kind of yeah, yeah,and that's what they're supposed to fight.
What's Tough on ESPN ESPN there's beentwo episodes now, Um I heard
they're pretty good. They're pretty good. But the way that they fucking set
it up kind of turned it intoit a little bit of a disaster because
it ended up being like veterans verse, like these new guys the fighters,

(42:30):
and like it's just like veterans thathaven't made it though, but they're veterans
that have been in the UFCA more. Yeah, so it's like they're just
starching these fucking new guys. It'slike it's like the all new guys.
Yeah, yeah, they've never beenin the UC. Yeah, it's kind
of fucked. And McGregor has allthe new guys and Chandler's kind of got
all these vets that are just fuckingkicking these guys's asses. Interesting, So

(42:53):
it's like, well, these guysalready aren't good enough to compete in the
UFC anymore, and now they're justbeating up these new kids that now we're
gonna fucking like get set back.Yeah, that don't need to be fighting
these like experienced guy you know whatI mean. It's yeah, it's a
knock on their name. It's probablyslowing their progress. Apparently only four hund
thousand people watched like the first episode, so it's not doing great. I

(43:15):
thought it was kind of hyped becauseof McGregor. It was supposed to be,
but it didn't really interesting. Itdidn't really get the numbers I heard.
But um, yeah, Ivan dougIn. But yeah, McGregor is
definitely not in fighting condition. Yeah, like you can just tell he's just
because he was like a year ago. Right. Yeah, he's thick,
dude, he's thick. His faceis really fat. He just doesn't.
He's drinking fucking his beer now,you know, he just sells like a

(43:36):
guennis now oh yeah, it's calledsomething else. But he basically has a
beer company now and he's later that'sfucking everywhere. He's fucking filling him up.
Everyone's got a company, man,that must be where we're sucking up.
That was up. He sold propertwelve, which I didn't realize,
but yeah, but he's still likethe money yeah, yeah, like two
or mill Yeah. I don't knowif he how much of that he got.

(43:58):
Yeah, I think he had.I think that was just cut.
Yeah, I think you had anice chunk. I believe it. I
mean, anybody that I know thatbuys whiskey now that you should buy Jamison,
they're just buying Proper twelve now yeahyeah, yeah, if you're going
low end, but they don't knowanything about whiskey. Yeah, no,
for sure. These are for yourfucking frat bros. Yeah, weekend drinking
the bottle in one night, yeah, the weekend. Morerior. They're bringing
to a party that you're not tryingto like share a fucking yeah, you

(44:20):
know, twenty year fucking triple maltor whatever. The f I don't know
about you bring a thirteen dollar bottleof Yeah, I don't think the boys.
I think you'd like to, likethe backyard barber. Yeah, we're
dumping it with a DIAPEPSI bring thatto the Yeah, backyard barbecue. You're
mixing it with Coca cola. Yeah, I mean that's why Hennessy kills it
right, ain't no one's sipping downwith Hennessey like that. You're doing that
fucking uh bsop or that Uh what'sthe other one? That like super expensive

(44:45):
one. It's like Saint something.The top of it's like King King Louis
or some shit. Yeah, it'slike five hundred dollars. Yeah, you
should regular Henessey. It's a bunchof dia cooke. The vsop is like
the Nightser one, like the middlegrade one that was like an eight hundred
dollars bottle. Yeah, crazy,I know. I liked, I liked
I liked it. I like thefamily stuff. I think mostly fucker loves

(45:06):
rowing. Yeah, yeah, terribleform. I was gonna say, you
said you heard his trainer, right. His trainer says, like, uh,
you're not trying to be a rower. We're just trying to ktch in
ship. Yeah yeah, yeah,they said nineteen minutes at some point.
I'm guessing like that was probably hisfive K. Probably has like five K
sprints. I've been doing like mecons I told you, and we just

(45:29):
do like ten cow bouts. Yeah, I think I've done a lot of
ten K rows and they take meabout forty to forty five minutes, about
forty minutes normally about forty three toforty five minutes. So I'm guessing that
that nineteen was like a five K. Yeah, yeah, it's time probably.
So he just wasn't finishing any anythingof them with his legs at all.
Know, he was using all butup back and then just like super
late. Yeah. It was weird. And he was doing the rowing with

(45:50):
those pins in his hand. Yeah, he is a bad Memoja, he
don't have a ship. He justcan't help himself. Yeah, the whole
foot stuff. I love that storywith like the foot injury. Yeah,
there he sets together nicely like youknew something was gonna happen. Yeah,
but there's multiple right, his toeslocked up. He was all fucked up.
Yeah, Yeah, I forgot howmany obstacles he did have to face.

(46:15):
Like the ankle cracking ones is obviouslythe famous one because it happened in
the ring and it's so visual.Um, but yeah, his toes locking
up his wrisk deal like he hewent through it and obviously a lot of
fighters do. But but but hecame back from it, you know,
which is pretty impressive. I thoughtit was curious that they didn't really spend
very much time on the on theMayweather fight. Yeah, I wonder if
it was a next to nine.Yeah, yeah, they just mentioned it.

(46:37):
It just sort of impassing. Itwas even less weight than um Poiller
and the rest of them. Ohwell then then Michael Jordan playing baseball gets
you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I wonder why it might
have been a licensing thing, right, it might have because this might have
been funded by Dana or who knowswhat. And then uh yeah, because
I was I mean, culturally thatwas a giant fucking deal. Yeah.

(47:00):
When yeah, when when that campwas going on, we actually, um
the old Show talked to George Lockhartwho was there doing his nutrition stuff.
Yeah. So but that actually bringsme to another point. Uh, when
I look at the IMDb on this, there is only one person listed on
the IMDb as appearing on screen,and that's Connor McGregor. There is no

(47:22):
listing for any wife else, otherguys, his wife, the kids,
any of his any of his campI mean nobody. His wife is down.
Yeah, she's in it. She'sall in. Yeah, ride or
die, any one of them.I would have Christen Stewart's that she when
he lost. You see the lossin her face, fucking shaken. She's

(47:43):
trade and when she's winning, sheshe's happier. Yeah, yeah, that's
what she's about. It shout.They probably get it on. Yeah,
but they popping out kids, right. Could you imagine him with his gorillas
at in bed, all fucking hornedup from trend fucking grillat hat his iconic
bro. He kind of I wantto get a big one. I want
to get a big one. Uhlike like it's like when you can put

(48:04):
on I want to put one on. Brock mak him Connor McGregor for hellowe
bro. He looks perfect for it. It does look like yeah his face,
yeah, he's got that blonde hair, gave a little like fake beard,
just like scruff. Yeah, thatwould be funny. Sat on him,
that'd bet funny. That'd be funny. I haven't think about that watching
He could be a Gregor's kid,you could, you could look like,
yeah got the yeah, he gotthat irish look would be a hell of
funny. Rocks ripped too. Yeah, he's so fun he'd love that dud.

(48:30):
He rock seen a lot of UFC. Oh yeah, really, Yeah,
I used to watch a lot ofUFC when uh yeah, when he
got home from the hospital. Likethere's I mean, that's during COVID R
UFC was the only thing on.Yeah, they only tapped a little bit
into the fight island ship too,right. They were putting out fights every

(48:51):
fucking weekend during COVID. They're sosmart though, because no other support was
rocking. No, the fact that'sI think what's honestly not saved UFC,
but like put them in like anotherlevel of success. Was like the COVID
h Dana so fucking smart for that. I wonder why, because because the
NBA bubble happened kind of quick.But the bubble basketball was so terrible.

(49:12):
But I wonder why it was likethat, Like the viewership was way down
the back, the deliverable was bad, but the UFC yeah kind of stayed
of floats. It was fucking weird. It was weird. It was weird.
I didn't realize until now, likelooking back that that first Dustin fight
was in the bubble. Yeah,fucking fight Island or whatever. Our boy
works with Dustin two. I thinksecond was the second second second, that's

(49:32):
why. Man, Yeah, PhilDrue, I think it is Dustin's guy's
a buddy of ours. Have youguys had his hot sauce Dustin No,
what's up with the fighters? Andlike random shit approbably he fucking was like
made millions of dollars really really supposedto be really fun. My boy Nicky
Rod's coming out with a beef jerkey. Yeah, I need to make something

just like bottle it up and sellit for sure. Steak steak coffee steak.
Yeah, some pr blend salt inthere and ship yeah, i'd be

(50:15):
solid. Sounds delicious. Well,I'd love a good like a good blend.
A good steak blend is like thepepper, the salt, maybe a
little garlic, yeah, and thenthat's kind of it and just maybe yeah,
and then then the coffee. Yeah, you do a hint of coffee.

good burger in Sack and no onereally talks about. It's the chili too
that you got that like a localin and out with some more options.
Yeah, it's patterned after um Chainedin southern California. It really is a
good Ummies. We also got somegood fried chicken here, so yeah,

(53:13):
we have a good decent barbecue obviously, Asian foods, really good American food.
Sushi fucking smacks here. Yeah,we got a bunch of good ship.
We do have a good We havethe best sushi I think, like
you can get in in like notby the ocean. Where's your your go
to spot for sushi? Well,okay, my like go to like any
time during the week spot, Yeahis Sushi Cafe behind Crew. Yeah,

(53:35):
yeah that's good. That's my spot, like any any day of the week,
it's sushi. Yeah. But ifI want like some elevated sushi,
I'm either gonna go to like aCrew or it's Umi in fucking off a
Grant line in Wilton. Never heardof the five star class better than fucking
mccooney. Really, but it's inoff a Grant Line in Elk Grove over
like Wilton Roads, the Sticks inthe country. It's always packed. Yeah,

(53:58):
because it's close to Elk grow everybodycan drive there. It's ten minute
drive. But it is better thanit's like in between, like as far
as like quality, I feel likeit's in between Crew and uh uh uh
mccooney. It's like fills that gapin between those two. I'm kind of
an ogy locy w to the originaloriginal. It may be a little over

(54:20):
priced. Now that's talking about theone I like, uh, fair Oaks,
fair Oaks, Yeah, yeah,yeah, that one's on Hazel it'soking
that little like down slope all yeah, the side of the bridge. Yeah
yeah, that's my hood. Yeah, I've been in that one once.
Used all the time. I thinkour pizza is good here. We got
solid pizza, that's true, Likeobviously we're not New York, but we
got really good fucking pizza with Zelda'spretty heavily. I like Zelda's. They

(54:44):
don't put If they don't put Zilla'sin that movie, they're not they're not
going. No, they won't.But some people don't like the cornmeal crust.
But I like that. I likeChicago Fire. That's what makes it.
That's what makes it Zelda's. Yeah, it does. That's why I
can like that and Chicago Fire.I grew up with the Chicago Fire family.
I think that's really good. Bro. So next time you go to
a Zelda's. Have you been toZelda's yet? I have a as dull
as the eighties? Okay, ohit's it's probably the same. So they

(55:07):
do the same spot, I assume, right, but yeah, it was
really same. Yeah, they doan artichoke dip. Sounds delicious, but
they use the and then it hasthat cormeal crust. It was like a
chip, No, bro, it'slike a fucking it's like an art It's
like a dip, but they makeit like the pizza with the cornmeal crust,
then the artichoke dip and the cheeseand the shit in there, and
then you get chips with it orwhatever bread bowl kind of thing. I

(55:30):
like, would just the cornmeal crusted, you could or would slice that bit
you need. It's true. Ithink it's liquid fall apart. That sounds
delicious, but you could definitely breakit up and then like use it to
dip, break it up and likespoon it. Yeah you could. That
sounds good. Yeah, it wastheir cormeal crust is good. Uh.
Roma's obviously way out there is prettysolid. Jo Vanni's both Roma Roma's one

(55:50):
or two to the one out thereby the SPCA. Yeah, they're both
good. We went out there tosome Kaream barbecue, which is solid.
It's not the best Korean barbecue.It's one by the park down here.
Yeah by uh what's the park withthe golf course. There's the Romans out
there, Oh lant Lampark. Yeah, oh maybe there's two Romans. Yeah
one Lampark one's good too. Yeah, the SPCA one's good. And then
um, yeah, Korean barbecue isnot the best I've ever had. I'd

(56:13):
better in Vegas, in LA.But it's good. It's not you're not
gonna go. Yeah, we gotDanny went to some place down here where
you grill your own food like steaksand shit. Oh um, butterscotch,
butter scotch. Yeah. Fans weren'tthere, that's fancy. They were kind
of dressed up, but they mighthave been more somewhere else. It's it's
the diviers it's the same people thatthat did. They used to have a
good burger spot that closed down.What was it called in Diviers, It

(56:37):
was inside Diviers. It was likeduring COVID they had this burger place and
they made fucking bomb ass burgers andthen it shut down. That's some of
the best chicken is out of Goldfield. It's a ghost kitchen Goldfield. They
make chicken. It's a ghost kitchen. You gotta you gotta doored ashen and
I think it's one of the bestchickens. We've got interesting, Yeah,
chicken. I think chicken everywhere itis going crazy. But hot whatever chicken

(56:59):
here the hot Chicken CRAZI came tenof them. Yeah. We got Nashville
hard Yeah, yeah, we did. We did. Oh yeah, the
hot Boys. That's good. What'sthe one that's an Oak Park Chicken that's
really good. I know Fixing thebarbecue spot. That might be the chicken.
Yeah, I don't know, fixprobably Fixings. Yeah, we got
the foods fan. I love SouthSouth's good. It's gone, it's gone.

(57:22):
What she's opening up Jimmy Johns orwhatever the fuck it is. Sound
no, no, no, she'sopening up again. Jim Denny Jim Denny's
a twist on the original Jim Dennis. You remember Jim Denny that I loved,
Jim Danny. Yeah, so she'sSouth is now Jim Denny. They're
doing a bunch of construction. That'sthe place. Yeah, yes, but

(57:45):
now it's gonna be safest lunch.Yeah, now the new menu. But
in the why would she close South? I think divorce? Yeah, that's
fucked up. You brought it up, dude. That was six months.
That was the best, probably thebest food in that the city has.
Now. Everyone was a pretty muchyea, yeah good. I hated the
fucking seating rule or you couldn't sitdown until after you ordered, and there
was kind of irritating. Yeah,and like the building was obviously small,

(58:07):
but that's what made it like,No, it was good. That's what
made it fun. It was elate. It actually felt like it was in
New Orleans. It was elite food. It was it was everything. There
was fucking proper ship. That's whyI bet I'm sure they'll have a chicken,
a waffles or something at Jim Denny's. It'll be good. What was
the place that did the like Asianbreakfast that closed down? Harry Harry,
Harry's man. There's a new placein there now this but it's not Harry's.

(58:28):
Well, and right next to it'sused to be an Avis car rental.
It's like an outdoor bar. NowHarry's had meat and fried chicken and
rice at fucking nine am. There'sone right here too, right, Oh,
that's Harry's. That's Harry. Iwas thinking about Simons. Oh you
know Simon's on sixteen in Capital.I don't know if I've been there.
Oh yeah, it's kind of likeHarry's. Yeah, yeah, kind of

(58:50):
like Harry. That's what I wastalking about. The Avis there turned into
an outdoor bar. Oh interesting,Yeah, sex movement, we're moving to
grooming. Yeah, where there's morefood than I thought. Here, we
got deep in the food here.Let's swerve back real quick. McGregor McGregor,
Okay, So, did anybody havea favorite character that was not Connor
McGregor. I wish they would havelike actually, because you got the voiceovers
of the trainers and ship, butI wish they would have talked to them

(59:13):
more, like to sit down orsomething, because they seemed like they had
some personality to them, like they'rehugging each other and then the one motherfucker
that got choked up by could belike they should. I just talked to
that kid, right, Um,so sadly I don't think you could.
Dylan Daniels, Yeah, oh maybe, Yeah, he's the other fighter.
But you know what I mean,what I did, like little things like
they were in the sauna while he'scutting. He's obviously going through a really
hard cut. Cutting stuff was inwhich that would talk about a lot.

(59:36):
They just showed a lot. They'renot really talking about the intensity, but
they're showing a crazy he was dying. But he had like ten dudes in
the sauna with pick him up,which is lit though, right, like
his whole teams in there, likeinterview some of those guys. Yeah,
yeah, they didn't really have alot of pieces. Yeah right, there
wasn't many other character It was justvoiceovers by his trainers. But you never
they set the trainer's name, butyou never connected it to a face,
so that was kind of off.But yeah, I'm a guess McGregor would

(59:59):
be my favorite. Mabe his sonalways say, like the family, the
family family. Yeah, yeah,you did see some home shit. Yeah
that's pretty much all you got.Yeah, but it was cool to see
how genuinely excited and happy he waswith his kids. Yes, it wasn't
fake. That's probably the highlight ofthe whole thing. Abotually Yeah, yeah,
humanized him big time. Yeah,especially he needed a humanization after all
the horrible things he said about what'shis name's wife after he broke his foot

(01:00:22):
because he was just thought his quarrelwas over. Yeah. Yeah, and
he had an incident as as recentlyas January. Yes, nice. Uh
it was an assault situation, yeah, nice. Fun. Yeah, so
he I mean, if anybody neededto have their reputation you know, bonded
up a little bit, he wouldbe a candidate for that. Yeah.

(01:00:45):
And this movie did it. Yeah, for sure accomplished I guess um.
And the alts dropped right before thiskind of tough things Yeah. Yeah.
And then there was the funny thingabout like that there's like the clip that
people that's kind of circulating around whereMichael Chandler and him were talking about like
what class they want to fight inand Connor just does like he's like,
I'll meet you a woman eighty five, and Connor just looks at him goes,

(01:01:05):
you'll do what you're told. Justlike that's the most connor thing ever.
Yeah, now you'll do what you'retold. So uh and we didn't
really have there is any least favoritecharacter either, because we didn't get to
know anybody villains besides himself. Yeah, and his injuries. Yeah, they
don't even interview like other fighters andship. Yeah, it's it was a

(01:01:30):
really weird take. It's a highlightreel, but also like inside the behind
the scenes. Yeah, clearly hehad this crew falling him around with him
for years. Yeah, because thisis fucking started in like three or four
years for sure. Like where elsehas that other fat old footage been used?
Like, I don't think it has. I don't think it's so either
interesting. Yeah. He also kindof forgot like how long he went without

(01:01:52):
winning a fight. He still hasn'tone one? Right yeah? No,
uh, he's less the last three, right, No, he one and
two? Maybe think he beat uh? I think he beat what's his name?
No? Uh? One of thebrothers from around here, Oh the

(01:02:13):
d D d Y. Yeah.I mean although knockout was like the beginning,
at the end, the fact theydidn't fight again was like the biggest
fucking like that was such a flukeyknockout. They might still do it now,
but then they're both kind of old. I don't know if you'll fucking
be able to make that weight becauseI was like one thirty five or somehow.
Cowboys the last ye cowboy. Yes, you're right, that's right,

(01:02:37):
retiring. He did beat Nate Diazonce. Yeah. Yeah, they split
in twenty sixteen. Do you guysgot paid. Yeah, that was when
mcconnor was like top top top connor. Yeah, um, all right,
let's rate this thing. I thinkthat um my rating system of this one
is going to be uh elaborately colorfulchess tattoos. Yeah, that is a

(01:03:00):
good tat. His stomach tat's noteis good. His chest tat's so good.
And there's a weird gap on hisbelly button that was fucking my fucking
my brain up as I'm watching becauseit's a tiger print and say, it's
really well done, but then there'sa gap around the belly button that doesn't
have tiger print. So I'm staringat this other man's belly button for way
too long trying to analyze. Thereis the tribal like DNA tribal down the

(01:03:23):
back. Yeah, yeah, that'snot bad. I like that. I
don't hate it like that one.But the Gorilla is really good. Uh.
For the movie would be going outof five five tribal tats um gorilla
t I'll give a three point I'llgive a three point eight tribal tat.
Okay, yeah, three point eighttribal tat. I'm gonna give it a.
I'll give it a solid three threeand a half, three and a

(01:03:45):
half, three and a half.I just love it's kind of ends.
It kind of end. It does. That's that's why I do think a
part two is coming or they're wantedto do. But story just yeah,
he better go fight somebody needs tolike fight Mike Tyson or something. Yeah,
it just ends. Yeah. Ithought it was too long. Yeah,
too long. I could watch oneepisode and be happy. Yeah yeah
yeah. And they could have doneit in one episode, like a two
hour episode. Yeah, I wouldhave been plenty Yeah, three and four

(01:04:08):
at least. My memory aren't asgood. I think they should have just
made episode one and two one moviethat was an hour and a half.
I call it a day. Yeah, I agree with that, but I
would say, you know, threeto three and a half. Yeah,
it's a fine way to pass yourtime. Yeah, it's much bigger deal
for people who are our fans.Yeah. And I didn't go into this
being a giant Connor McGregor fan.I was always into UFC before COVID,

(01:04:31):
but then like COVID, I reallygot into it, falling like niche guys
and hit and I'm still stuck withthat now and watch most most of every
fight. So I'll watch the fightthis weekend. You know. That was
me in like high school, twentytens. Even then, like the day,
Yeah, I watched your I SPbecause me and my dad were really
into WWE. Yeah, and thenthere w EC Yeah. But then but

(01:04:53):
then like the Rock and Stone Coldstart to retire and now then it got
kind of lamed us, Like Inever watched the scene arrow, So we
just dropped over the UFC, andI was getting older, you know,
So then we just hopped in theUFC, and I was pretty in into
like twenty fifteen, sixteen, andthen all those the WC fights were all
free on facts, yeah and goodand they were great talent. It was
just right was the face of whe was, he was the man.

(01:05:15):
He was the man. They werea good fight. I mean that dude
had more sponsorships than other people.He was kind of McGregor before McGregor.
He wasn't like the villains type oflike he was sponsored by Mountain Dew in
the WEC when no one was sponsoredby anything in the UFC or WBC.
He was. He had like hisown case Swiss shoe, like he was
doing things people weren't doing. Itwas just early. It was almost pre
wave was the issue. Yeah,and obviously he's very successful and did great,
but you know it held a goodplace as like a minor leagues for

(01:05:38):
the UFC. But and then Danabought it. Yeah. It was almost
better though too, because they didn'thave conflicting weight classes. Yeah, so
it like stood on its own wellyeah, where like now like yeah,
the fight one or what World Fightingwhatever and then bare knuckle. They are
making some rumbles though, think maybeand Gone was going bare knuckles maybe I
heard maybe, I don't know.There wasn't a weight class for you're riot,

(01:06:01):
right and you have right. Yeah, there's like all like one sixty
five and below was all WBC.It was it's almost its own thing and
they didn't have heavyweights. And thenUFC didn't have lightweights. Those are all
the best fights. No, they'reamazing. Yeah. The Chad Mendes is
all the homies, weren't there?Yeah, everyone's from there. Interesting Mendes,
he's done with the bare knuckles.I know you're like a one and
