Growing up with the nickname "The Juice" gave me a unique lens through which to view the rise and fall of OJ Simpson; a man who defines a complex chapter of American culture. In this heartfelt episode, we peel back the layers of his legacy, from gridiron glories to courtroom dramas, and explore how his saga intersects with identity and celebrity. But it's not all somber reflection—we also cut into the media's favorite fruit of speculation: paternity rumors around Khloe Kardashian. Join us as we dissect how these narratives are crafted and the lasting impressions they leave on public memory.

Turning up the volume, we jump into the pulsating world of hip-hop, where the beats of J. Cole's latest moves resonate. Is he stepping out of the ring or simply sidestepping a blow in the ongoing rap battle royale featuring heavyweights like Kendrick Lamar and Drake? Mr. Let Me Cook, feels  a way about it. We throw our hats in the ring, debating the essence of competition in music. And if you think that's contentious, strap in for our UFC predictions, where A-Train ,Ace, Marc, Swank and Egogh. Our resident fight aficionados, lay down their expertise. We're not just talking knockouts and submissions; we're talking pride on the line, as losers face the ultimate penalty—a shot of humility for each wrong pick. It's a toast to camaraderie, competition, and the unpredictability of the sports and music we love.

To OJ Simpson, the juice, theoriginal juice man.
Wow, why?
I mean, look, rip can beanything you want it to be.

(02:35):
There you go, you use yourimagination.
Yeah, I'm going to say rest inpeace to that man because I
believe that he was a troubledsoul and hopefully that soul can
come to rest at some point.
Come to peace at some point, Imean, given he's probably not
going to the most peaceful placeif he's done the things that we

(02:55):
believe that he's done.
But right now I'm going tospeak about him in a decent
regard, especially just hisfootball career.
I had a football coach.
I have the initials AJ, he'sthe initials OJ, so my football

(03:16):
coach called me the juice.
Also, wow, I wore 32 for aseason.
That season that I had thatfootball coach that called me
the juice, and we went to achampionship game for a season.
That season that I had thatfootball coach that called me
the juice.
We went to a championship game.
We lost that game but I beasted.
No here or there, but eitherway, oj Simpson.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
I didn't know that about you.
That's just wonderful.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Oh, yeah, man, I've lived a long life.
Jack of all trades.
Yeah, I've lived a long life.
It's crazy.
But yeah, oj Simpson man,apparently he was battling.
He died at 76.
Yeah, apparently he wasbattling cancer.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
I did not know that.
I didn't know that at all, anyparticular kind of cancer?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I have no clue.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
He just died today yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I haven't actually had the time to look it up.
I I haven't actually had thetime to look it up.
I mean, I probably have had thetime to look it up, I just
haven't looked it up, so, hey,I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm going to keep it funky withyou.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
You know what I'm saying.
I did watch a bit of a segmentabout it and I heard it and I do
think it is interesting becausethey use like, when talking
about this, it's all about thecase, and talking about that and
that's in the news again usinghis mug mug shot, you know, for
the picture of him and andreally a lot of what they're
talking about is is the footballhighlights, but then a lot of

(04:32):
it is the case as well, um,which you know.
It is what it is.
You know, at the end of the day, it's like those are the two
memorable things, um, but youknow again, you know ri, I mean
he was a movie star.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, he was a movie star.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Like he didn't just only play football and kill
people.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
That's what the news is.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
I guess those are the two salacious news bites the
highlights.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
I'm just saying those are the memories that the media
has picked and used.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
You know what I'm saying'm saying so shout out to
his family, his, uh, hisdaughters, including chloe
kardashian.
I mean, excuse me, oh, um, oh,we went there my bad.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
She, yeah, my bad.
There I mean talk about that.
What do you feel?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
I can't speculate too far.
All I know is that there was atime period.
If you Google the picture of OJSimpson's real daughter, his
confirmed daughter.
What's her name?
I'm not sure, but if you justGoogle OJ Simpson's daughter,
there's a picture of her.
She looks very similar to KhloeKardashian, and it's strange,

(05:48):
because Khloe Kardashian doesnot really look like either one
of her sisters.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
So you're trying to say there's some kind of
impropriety with Kris the mother?

Speaker 1 (05:59):
that she's not angelic.
Bro, I said nothing about KrisJenner and I will say nothing
about Kris Jenner.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
So you think that OJ had an affair with another woman
and just brought this child andsaid, Kris, could you raise her
for me?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
No, all I said was OJ could possibly be Khloe
Kardashian's father.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
You're not going to catch him.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I did not say anything about Kris Jenner, sir,
nothing.
I'm so sorry.
If you want it, one plus one tothat, that's on you.
That's on you, but me.
I am not saying anythingnegative about Kris Jenner.
I hear you yeah, so well, youknow what I'm going to segue

(06:50):
from one J to another.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Before you do, though , I just want to say this Well
again, rest in peace, shout outto his family, you know
whoever's grieving, whoever heleft behind, his case has been,
it's left, a staple as far asamerica's history is concerned.
The, the um, the criminaljustice system, um, and then you

(07:12):
know to like, even like, thecar industry, for the broncos,
with the car chase and all yeahso um gloves the gloves yeah, if
they don't fit riIP, rip.
He has missed.
Rip the juice.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Mad mad branding tools.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Oh yeah, oh my.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
God.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
That's what I said.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
He could have got a sponsorship with the Bronco Ford
Bronco the new one and his ownbrand of gloves.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
They could have a special color of like cream
white Bro, his own brand ofgloves.
They could have a special colorof like cream white Bruh, his
own brand of love.
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Actually, before we do move on, before we do move on
, I do, I'm going to put him onthe spot.
Mark, you said you hadsomething that you wanted to say
about OJ.
Oh yeah, and I want to hearthis.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
So I was just talking .
It's basically about how thenews is reporting on it, okay,
and it's all about his mugshotand the case and everything also
, and you already said that,yeah.
But the other thing that I dofind is interesting is, uh, the
um, like we're talking about thecar things.
I feel like ford has not missedthe opportunity to do branding.
You guys noticed that they hadthe small suv when they didn't

(08:20):
have the Bronco.
You know what it was called theFord Escape.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
I was like dang, that's funny.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I didn't mean that.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, I was like yo they discontinued the Bronco and
then in the early 2000s theybrought in another small SUV and
they called it the Escape, andthen they discontinued the
Escape and brought back theBronco.
Yeah, not to say that they'rethe exact same car because
they're different, but they arethe small, compact SUV that Ford
was making.
I just think that's ingenious.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
I like that, I like that.
All right, so from one, like Isaid, from one J to another.
A couple days ago, gentlemen, Irealized just how old I am.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Really.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
How old are you?
I mean, I I'm not gonna say allthat, but I mean I'm 38, fuck
it, I'm 38, but I realized howold I am.
Um, yeah, bro, I'm.
I am a fan of, as j Cole wouldput it, blood, because I do not

(09:27):
like this new generation ofkumbaya and happiness and mental
wellness.
I don't like this.
Okay.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
I don't like this.
How about we play what we thinkis going to be better?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Let me cook, let me cook.
I'm sorry, let me cook, let mecook.
I don sorry, let me cook.
I don't like this shit.
I don't like this shit.
Mental wellness, though yeah,that's how far I'm going,
because I feel like this is sometherapy type shit, like this is
a result of some therapy typeshit.
So J Cole Kendrick Lamar dissedJ Cole.
Well, I don't know if he dissedJ Cole at this point, because

(10:04):
there's a lot of informationgoing around and I kind of want
to cover all of it, so let meget through this.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Well, he definitely did diss him and J Cole.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, let me get through this real quick.
Let me get through this asquick as I can, please.
J Cole.
Kendrick Lamar dissed J Cole acouple days ago on, or a couple
weeks ago at this point, on afuture Metro booming record.
He dissed J Cole and Drake on afuture record.
Drake has an album with Future,very interesting in that

(10:37):
situation, so maybe Drake andFuture now have beef.
But that's neither here northere.
He dissed Drake and J Cole.
So J Cole took the time and heresponded he dropped an EP or an
album, I don't know what tocall.
It might delete later.
I think it was a great body ofwork.

(10:58):
Last song on it was 7 MinuteDrill.
7 Minute Drill, 7 Minute Drillwas the response to Kendrick
Lamar.
Um, last song on it was sevenminute.
Uh, seven minute drill, sevenminute drill, seven minute drill
was the response to KendrickLamar.
This is what we've been waitingfor.
J Cole has been killingfeatures, killing verses for the
last couple of years.
So this is what we have beenwaiting for.

(11:19):
Ego, could you please?

Speaker 4 (11:21):
play Before he plays it.
What do you think was a goodresponse, though?

Speaker 1 (11:24):
We'll get to that in one second.
Could you just play Before heplays it?
Do you think it was a goodresponse, though?
We'll get to that in one second.

Speaker 6 (11:37):
Could you just play a snippet of it, please?
Your third shit was massive andthat was your prime.
I was trailing right behind andI just now hit mine.
Now I'm front of the line witha comfortable lead, high running
.
So I got it.
Now he want something with me.
Well, he caught me at theperfect time.
Jump up and see why I got hereoff of bars.
Not no controversy.
Funny thing about it, bitch.

(11:57):
I don't even want the prestige.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I like that.
I like that Little bounce beat.
You know the song switches thebeats and he gets a little.
I don't want to say grimier orwhatever, but the beat gets a
little grimier.
It switches off later on in thesong, but I like the response.
You know this demands catalog.

(12:20):
This is rap.
This is lame, yeah, this is rap.
I'm going to you.
You know we're gonna talk aboutrap yeah I like this.
You know, kendrick didn't sayanything about no personal.
J cole came back and respond.
He didn't say anything aboutpersonal.
I liked it.
At this point I'm actuallywaiting to see what drake is
gonna say fuck your bitch in theclick you claim you know, I'm

(12:43):
saying like I'm, I'm, I'mwondering if how drake is going
to respond.
Is he going to rap to thesegentlemen, or is he going to rap
to k dot, or is he going tosing to him?
Because that's probably themost disrespectful thing you can
do to somebody apparently theysaid he has.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
He has a response coming yes, we're gonna get
there.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
We're going to get there, we are going to get there
.
So, with that being said, heresponded.
So, like I said, I'm waitingfor Aubrey's response.
We're waiting for Aubrey.
We're going to go by first name.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Yeah, we're waiting for.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Aubrey, you know what I'm saying.
So we're not going to listen tothe apology.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
No, Bro, I don't, I know you don't I know, you know
that pissed asa off when youheard see, this is where, this
is where I want to get to.
Yeah, so I want to get.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
So let him finish cooking for me the problem, my
biggest problem with this isalso timing.
Yeah, bro, it took you a weekand a half two weeks to respond
to this man and you apologizedin two days.
What in the fuck yo like?

(13:50):
I don't understand it.
This is competition.
This is like playing hoopsone-on-one with your man and
y'all not talking shit to eachother and the game not getting a
little dicey just because y'all.
Competitive nature is there.
J Cole, for the last coupleyears, like I said, has been
killing verses, been killingeverything, been saying how he

(14:11):
was the best rapper, even onthis album.
He's saying people don't wantsmoke with him and, as one
gentleman put it on Twitter orsomething he said, j Cole in a
song said everybody don't wantto smoke with him and then, with
two days, wanted ventilation.
This is crazy.

(14:32):
I'm not with this.
I don't like this, like I want.
I miss competition in hip hop.
I miss it.
When somebody said that I'm thebest rapper, they went out and
proved it.
Because now, at this point, jcole is still an amazing
lyricist, he's still an amazingrapper, but he's now officially

(14:55):
third on the list.
This has he.
If he had a chance at beingnumber one, or if we all looked
at him at number one at somepoint.
He is now officially third andis just going to be third.
Who saw?
Who saw man?
No, I'm serious.
I'm serious Because the ideabehind it is like I said.
There's a lot of different wayswe can look at this.

(15:17):
I've heard a lot of information.
I've heard a lot of information.
I've heard information of, likeSwank just said we have new
Kendrick, not Kendrick.
Drake already has a verse Drakealready has a song coming.
I've heard that Kendrick has asong coming.
He's ready also, so both thesegentlemen are ready.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Well, and Cole also says at the end of his verse you
know, like.
You know, basically, like I'mready, I'm going to take it on
the chin.
It sounds like he's saying I'lllisten to your verse, but he's
also saying I'm not going to.
The way it sounds is like I'mnot going to respond to it, even
if you say something, whichagain, that I feel kind of

(15:59):
conflicted with it, because Idefinitely hear what you're
saying, that I think this isgood competition.
It seems like it's not a beefaround anything personal.
No one is getting too personal,which I like, because we don't
want it to get too volatile andtoo personal and devolve into
something.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, lose another one.
Like I said, this is going tobe the safest rap beef of all
time, because they've come uptogether.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
A lot of them have records together, like you're
talking about.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
They're not violent.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
No, they're not violent individuals.
It's just good competition andat the end of the day it's good
for sales, it's good for thefandom.
People get to hear theirartists dissing each other.
But if it's not personal, it'snot going to ruin relationships,
then it's just healthycompetition.
But I do also kind of feelwhere Cole's coming from,
because I guess Cole'sperspective, from what it sounds

(16:45):
like he's talking about in hisapology and even in his verse
he's talking about, is like hedidn't want to go this route.
But again, I hear that.
But then he can't also betalking about no one wants smoke
with me.
If then someone tries to givehim smoke and he's not wanting
that.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
So it's a double-edged sword.
When you say that on yourrecord, my problem is you can't
say I want smoke like you.
You just can't say I want smoke.
But then when the top peoplewant smoke with you, now you
want to run, or now you don'twant to engage, I don't want
peace, and so.
So there's a lot of differentways you can look at this.
Let me get this out real quick.
There's a lot of different waysyou can look at this.
Let me get this real quick.
There's a lot of different waysyou can look at this.

(17:25):
J Cole is doing one of twothings he's either afraid or
he's bowing out gracefully.
And when I say he's bowing outgracefully, it's because he
understands that Kendrick andDrake really don't like each
other.
And they are going to actuallymake this a real situation.
And so J Cole is saying youknow what I this a real
situation.
And so J Cole is saying youknow what?

(17:45):
I didn't know.
It was like this.
I was thinking that we werejust going to rap.
And so now that we're not justrapping, I'm pulling myself out
of this.
I'm saying my bad dog, I neverdissed Drake, so me and Drake
should still be cool, but I'mcompletely taking myself out of
this.
So if he's doing that, to acertain extent, I respect it,
but at the same time, because ofyou doing that, you see a fight

(18:10):
happening between the big nowthe big two.
You have now officially madeyourself three, number three,
yeah, and and and that's what itis so, can I, can I say
something though?

Speaker 4 (18:21):
um, have you listened to his apology?
It made me sick actually.
Okay, so what I got from it isthis, right, and remember, we
talked about this in our lastepisode as well Like, why is it
taking him this long to respond?
Right, he didn't want no partsof it to begin with.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, he didn't want to do it, then he shouldn't have
said nothing in the first place.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
You know he was being pushed to respond.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
You are a 30-something-year-old man.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
And he lost control and took the bait which he's
saying.
That's out of his character.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
You're a 30-something-year-old man, so he
had to reel himself back in.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
People can't make you jump out of character bro he
fed into the hype.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Or it could also be that he put it out, you know,
and then, like you said, herealized some complications
about this thing and realized itwasn't just going to be
friendly competition, it wasgoing to be a battle.
Yeah, and then he's bowing outand you know, I think that's.
You know if that's how it'sgoing to be, who knows what
these responses between Drakeand Kendrick are going to look
like, but we'll see.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
Well, we got a battle coming up this weekend,
gentlemen, we got a battlecoming up this weekend.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
We have UFC 300 and I know sometimes you guys get
tired of us talking aboutfighting, but we kind of got to
get on this one just a littlebit.
Just a little bit, becausewe've been here a few of us have
been here, I mean not really,but once again we're men and so

(19:54):
we're competitive.
Because we've been here A fewof us have been here, I mean not
really, but once again, we'remen and so we were competitive.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
We have egos, no pun intended.
We've all gotten into fights.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
You know what I'm saying, no pun intended.
Yes, everybody has their ownfighter knowledge, somewhat,
somewhat To some extent, and soyou know.
So people like to.
We want, we want to do somepredictions.
And this ties in so well,because we actually have a dmv
native fighting this weekendsadiq yusuf.
He's going to be fighting DiegoLopez.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
He's the main man on this area.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
We might have gone to school with that, bro man you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
I'm too old.
I'm older than that gentleman.
He's my nephew's age.
I believe he was born in like97, I believe, oh no, baby.
Okay, but still, still, and hecalled that nigga a baby.
That's fucked up.

think you're going to win?

Speaker 1 (21:17):

we're going to do it real quick,everybody.
So we kind of want to spice itup a little bit.
Right, exactly, we're going todo Let them know the rules.

12 or 13 fights on this card.
So, if you yeah, what's that?
Yeah, 13 fights on this card.

(22:03):
potentially take 13 shots, butto keep yourself safe.
Also, one more rule is you cancan pass.
If you don't know anythingabout either gentleman, you can
just pass and say you know what?
I'm not making a pick on thatone.
There's no pressure.
Yeah, there's no pressurebecause, like I said,
potentially we are going to take13 shots if you're wrong, if

(22:28):
you're completely wrong, I ain'tworried about that let let's go
.
Yeah, I don't think I'mcertainly we got sharks over
here.
Yeah, I'm certainly hopingnobody's going to be completely
wrong.
I mean, we got A-Train.
He is the the coach of.
Yeah, he's the coach.
We've got knowledgeablegentlemen, exactly.
He knows his.
I'm not following him with him.

(22:53):
He knows his ish.
I'm gonna follow him.
Yeah, he knows his ish, so hisknowledge is there.
We have ego, who is anex-fighter himself yeah,
ex-coach himself, so he has hisknowledge.
I'm sorry, my bad, my bad, nodisrespect, I ain't retired my
bad no disrespect, I'll becoaching you sometimes I'll be
seeing you in it, so I'll belike maybe this nigga doing some
other shit, you know what I'msaying Switch sides.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Switch sides More profitable.
He wants the easy life.
Superman, Clark Kent.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
You know what I'm saying, so all right, and me,
you got me.
I have no formal knowledge atall.
I am a street.
There, you go so and we gotMark and, excuse me, mark and
Swank, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
I don't know much, but he watching the sports bar.
I'm trying to learn You'regoing to learn today.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
All right, so we're going to make these predictions
You're going to learn tonight.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Let's run through this.
Let's run through this.
We want to do it from the topto bottom or bottom to top.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Prelims or what.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Let's do bottom to top.
Do early prelims.
Yeah, let's do bottom to top.
Let's do bottom to top.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
All right.
So early prelims we got.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
All right, so first fight we got Davidson Figueiredo
and.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
I'm saying Garbrandt, that's America versus Brazil.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
In this situation, I'm going to go Davison.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
Wow, that's very interesting.
I was going to go Cody, becauseCody has been looking good
lately.
He's the biggest, stronger guy.
He's kind of on a roll.
Davison's been in some wars, soI'm not sure what is left in
his tank.
Okay, so we got a controversy.
What is left in?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
his tank.
So okay, so we got acontroversy right here.
Okay, man, I think I'm going togo with Ace.
I'm going to do Davis.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Looking at that record, man, I'm going with
Davidson.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
That record don't mean nothing but that's what I'm
going with.
I got to go with something.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
See the thing about it is three of those losses came
like the three of those losses,I believe all three if not From
top fight, not even from top,from one person, one person.
So two of his losses if notFrom championship fight, yeah,
two of those losses and one tieis from one person.
So in this situation Davidson'srecord is very skewered Right.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
But here's what I'm going with that he's fought more
.
He's fought 22 battles, right,okay, yeah, oh, he's won 22
battles.
Oh, he's won 22.
He's fought 26.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, I'm going to go with Davison too.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Okay so.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
A-Train's on his own, so.

Speaker 6 (25:23):
A-Train's on his own, all right.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
Fight number prelim I mean, do you want to do that?
You can, jim Jim Miller, he's aveteran, but it's we.
I don't know too much aboutBobby Green that he's fighting,
so I can't.
I'm going to opt out on thatone.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Okay, I'm going to go Bobby Green.
The reason I'm going to goBobby Green?
Because he's black.
All right, yes, yes, um, nowI'm going bobby green just
because, uh, bobby green, Ibelieve in in my mind has been
the more active fighter over thelast couple of years most

(25:59):
recent yeah, so I'm gonna gowith the guy that has the more
activity yep, I agree with that,bobby green, although jim does
look like he has more wins by afew, six more wins, wins yeah

Speaker 5 (26:10):
definitely.
I don't know either one.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'm passing on this one.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, so like, yeah, so like he's been out there.
He's a veteran, jim's been.
He's took him shots Like he'llstay toe-to-toe with somebody in
this swing.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
All right, Swank, you got the last one, Nah man, I'm
passing on this one cool JessicaAndrade versus Maria.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Sorry, is somebody keeping track of our votes and
stuff?
It's recorded so we can always.

Speaker 6 (26:37):
I forgot what we were doing Good, you know what.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
I'm saying it's recorded, all right.
So Jessica Andrade versus.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Marina Andrage.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Andrage excuse me, Andrage versus Marina Rodriguez.
I don't know too much I want togo, jessica, because she's the
veteran, she has the knockoutpower.
But they have been saying thisyoung girl is kind of amazing
the new.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
thing.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
So in this situation, I'm going to pass.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Wow, you passed.
Wow, that's very interesting.
You know what I feel like funnypassing on anything, because I
have an opinion about like everyfight.
Oh, okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
So if you're gonna call me out like that, then I'm
gonna go marina no, I lie, I lie, I'm gonna I'm gonna go jessica
.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
I'm gonna go jessica.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I'm going jessica I'm going, jessica, I'm gonna trust
the veteran more than apolitician.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Pass no one side, no, the otherside, no, no, no, I'm passing
All sides.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
And as I say I'm going to figure.
My last one's going to beJessica.
I'm going to go with theveteran.
Okay, I'm going to believe thatthe young girl hasn't been
touched before and if Jessicacan touch her, she may go to
sleep.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Yeah, I think if it goes dirty we're going some
tough bleeding and all thatstuff.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
I'm going the opposite, because I feel like
Andrade has been, like lately,been not doing what she used to
be, and so she's.
That's the reason why she's onthe prelims.
So she cause she hasn'tperformed where she used to be,
and I think that she's lost that, that knockout power, cause
everybody figured her out and Ithink this new one knows exactly

(28:11):
her game plan.
So I think she's going to win.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
Nice, nice Okay.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
I like that.
I like that.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
I don't like seeing ladies fight man.
You know they're going to messup their pretty faces, but if I
go by what y'all just said, I'mgoing to go with Cap.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
That was the most like gentleman and misogynist
statement Like ever.
How can I be super?

Speaker 2 (28:33):
sexist and polite.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah like right, this is USC, you gotta ease into it.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Come on, man, I'm gonna go with the veteran.
I'm following A-Train.
Remember I said that If I getlost I'll follow.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
A-Train.
Mark, you're the last.
You don't know.
You know what I'm gonna go outon a limb here.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
I'm gonna go with that would have been All right.
All right, If I get lost, I'llfollow A-Train.
Mark, you're the last.
You don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
You know what I'm going to go out on a limb here
I'm going to go with you can'tsay, oh, they're Brazilians,
that's your favorite.
Yeah, both of them are fromBrazil so I can't any.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Renato.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
I want once again.
I want to say Jalen Turnerbecause he's black, but I think,
renato, if it's more seasoned.
Yeah, I think if the fightsomehow someway gets to the
ground, he's going to do histhing.

(29:32):
So I'm going to go with theblack guy.

Speaker 5 (29:39):
That's a hard one for me, and I agree with you.
I think it's one of those whereit depends on where the fight
ends up, and sometimes it's aflip of a coin you can't really
judge, like, okay, it's on onthe ground and all of a sudden
it goes completely.
It's like, uh, kevin hollandgoes to the ground and it's like
he's done and that's it.
But if it never goes to theground, then someone has trouble
.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
So yeah um it's, it's a tough 50 50 in my head, but
probably jaylen for me I've seenmore kano fight and I've seen
him want to stand with peoplewhen he probably shouldn't have.
And he actually has beensuccessful doing it all right
well that's so.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Let's speed this up because we have some more to go,
so we're trying to.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
All right, sorry about that, yeah that's a
possibility of four shots,because we've done four, number
four now, so I'm gonna skip onthis one.
All right, so?

Speaker 2 (30:24):
and mark you I'm skipping on this.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Okay, all right so all right now, Now DMV native
Sadiq Youssef versus Diego Lopez.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Once again Nigerian versus another Brazilian.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
I actually don't know anything about Diego Lopez, so
I'm going to go with Sadiq onthis one.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yep.
Yeah, I'm going to go withSadiq represent.

Speaker 5 (30:45):
You have to DMV here.
I got to keep my DMV card Right.
There you go too DMV here, Igot to keep my DMV card.
There you go.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Sadiq, if you lose, we're coming for you, I'll go
with Sadiq too.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Now we move on.
Holly Holm versus KaylaHarrison.
Kayla Harrison has probably gotto get her first real test of
fighting through Holly Holm.
Holly Holm has been fightingfor a very long time, very long
time.
In this case, I'm'm gonna gowith kayla harrison oh, that's
interesting.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
You know what.
This is another one of thosetough ones where clearly, if it
goes to the ground that we'veseen almost all of holly's
losses when it goes to theground she gets submitted.
So kayla's not standing, that'strue, but then again you gotta
stand before you get to theground.
So the question is, what isHolly's game plan?
If Holly can connect and Kaylacan't take any blows, we may see

(31:37):
Holly win.
You know this is 300.
So it's going to be either aswan song you know her goodbye
fight, it's going to besomething, she has to prove
something or else our stock goesinto the toilet.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
All right, let's keep it quick.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
What do I say I'm going to go with Holly.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Swank.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
I'll pass on this one .
It's two ladies fighting again.
I mean, come on you know how.
I feel about that.
I'm going to Holly.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
I'm going to go with Kayla.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
All right, all right, so two and two.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yep, all right.
So Calvin Katar versus AljamainSterling.
I am going.
Aljamain, has he moved up?
Yeah, he's moving up.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, yeah, I'm going with him too.
His stats are solid.
Yeah, I'm going with AlJermaine.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Al Jermaine's up in New York.
You know he's one of those guyslove to hate, you know has gets
so much, sometimes says thingshe shouldn't say, gets in
trouble.
But when it comes to skills,other than when he thinks that
he's the best striker in theworld and other than when he

(32:39):
thinks that he's the beststriker in the world and if you
can put that aside, he doesn'tplay that game, he plays his
game.
He's virtually unstoppableright and he has great both
ground game coach.
You know Matt Serra in thatgroup.
Ray Longo, you know JKD got togo with him.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Aljamain me too, man, my guys going Aljamain see Al's
chest Al Jermaine will beatthis guy.
He's saying look at his chest.
Look at his chest.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
I will say, the picture that they picked of
Calvin his chest muscle itdidn't do him justice.
Yeah, you can see his ribcageand everything and then Al
Jermaine is like ready.
He's like Creed in the originalRocky Incredible Hulk.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Incredible Hulk.
All right, so everybody.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
What did you say?
Rushing us on, he's going totake his time.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Craziness.
No, because I was thinkingabout I'm doing Calvin.
I'm doing Calvin, okay, BecauseI have a feeling that Al
Jermaine is going to be tested.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
I mean he's moving up in weight.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
That's what I'm saying he's definitely moving up
in weight.
Okay, so that means he'sagainst somebody who's walking
around that way.
Yuri Brocheka versus AlexanderRokic.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
I'm going to go Jury just because I think he has to
come back from the knockout.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Oh yeah, jury, that's the guy with the ponytail,
right?
Yeah yeah, he's going to comeback from the knockout.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Yeah, I'm going to go with him too.
He's got a lot of wins underhis belt.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Okay, he's official.
Almost double, he's official.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
It's double, it is double.
Are you trying, are you?

Speaker 5 (33:59):
trying.
That's a hard one.
That's another hard one for me.
I guess that's why it makes itexciting, you know what?

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Just because you guys said that I'm going to go with
Alexander.
Yeah, alexander man rakic.
All right, what country isracket from?
I?

Speaker 1 (34:15):
have no clue.
It looks like it's one of themeastern europeans.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yeah, that guy, he's gonna whoop his ass, all right,
so cole.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Kody brundid versus bo nickel.
Uh, bo nickel is the ufc's likelike he's a wonder boy.
Yeah, he's their wonder boyright now.
So I'm just gonna go with bonickel, just because I don't
know, I'm pass on this one.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
Yeah, I passed too yeah, I'm gonna pass this one
tough because bo nickel is likehe's on, he's on, he's winning
quickly but untested because hehasn't been in deep five fights
he's undefeated, but he has, soyeah, five fights.
So that's one of those kind offlip the coin like how can you
decide you don't have enoughinformation?
Cody also has pretty low stats,so you'd have to ask yourself,

(35:00):
okay, if it went to a decisionto probably go with Bullnickle
to teach the guy that won.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
All right, keep going .

Speaker 5 (35:06):
Okay, next.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Charles Oliveira versus Armane.
I can't say his last nameSadoukian yeah, sadoukian.
I can't say his last nameSadukyan yeah, sadukyan.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Armenian name.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah my bad, it's all good and.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
I'm definitely going with him.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Armenian pride.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I'm gonna try Honoring the high.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Oh, you gonna pick, your, you gonna pick.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
I thought, you were gonna pick Brazilian, as he
should.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
No, as he should.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
No, I'm Armenian.
You gotta go with him.
My wife is Brazilian.
I'm Armenian, you know, throughmarriage, but I'm Brazilian
through marriage, but I'mArmenian by blood.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
All right.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
So I'm going to go Brazilian, I'm going to go
Charles.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Charles is my man.
Yeah, charles is my man.
Yeah, I'm going to go, charles.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Man, I pass, I pass, I pass, I pass.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Halloween gaming.
Oh, this one.
If there's one I was going topass on, it would be this one,
because these are two gentlementhat I really really like.
I like these two gentlemen.
They scrappers.
But if I just had to put mymoney on somebody, it would be

(36:09):
Max Holloway.
Wow, really, I'm going.
Max, bro.
I just feel like Max has beenin so many fights, so many wars.
No one's shut his lights out,he just fights, bro, and if he
figures out a way to touch you,he going to touch you a lot.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
Well, that's his style, he's a volume fighter.
But, you know, gaethje justseems to win.
He seems to be stronger in alot of ways where Max doesn't
bring that power, and I thinkthat may end up being the
difference who can absorb moreor he can hurt who more.
And so I'm kind of leaning onGaethje in this one.

(36:50):
All right, I'm passing, I don'tknow, I'm passing too All right
, I'm passing.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
I don't know, I'm passing too.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
All right, what'd you say?
I want Gaethje, I'm goingGaethje, okay.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Wang, xie Li versus Yang Xiong and I know I fucked
her name up, I'm so sorry.
All right, let's go, but I'mgoing Wang, I'm going Xie Li.
Yeah, I'm going, jay Lee,you're hilarious, you're
hilarious.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
You know what I have to say.
That Zhang represents like theepitome of a martial artist.
She does just about everything,and so she's only really been
beaten by the very best, whetherit was Joanna Champion or Thug
Rose.
You know what I mean.
She just has it all.
So, um yan, my understanding isquick, she's fast, but she

(37:41):
doesn't have the experience.
Sometimes, when you fight thetop, top level competition,
there's something extra that youhave when you fight a person
who is new and coming up, andunless you're like old and
become old and overnight, you'regoing to win.
So it's Zhang, it's Wei.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Li.
All right, I'm going with WeiLi Zhang.
She looks older.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
She looks.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
Her face looks stronger too.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Her face looks stronger.
It's two women fighting Swank.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Two women.
So now these women.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
She lifts weights with her face.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
One's face looks confident.
This guy with his complimentthat's what I'm going for she's
number one.
She's number one in the weight.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
She gonna beat her with her face.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
What you talking?

Speaker 2 (38:23):
about Ego.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
I'm going with Weili Zhang All right.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
So last championship fight Alex Fierro versus Jamal
Hill Doom, doom, doom, mainevent.
Ego you go, hill Doom, doom,doom, main event.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Mmm, ooh, ego, you go first.
Oh man, I'm going to go Alex,because Alex has he's already,
he's the champ.
He has to keep his name outthere.
I'm going with Alex.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Swank, or are you going?

Speaker 5 (38:45):
to wait for A-Train, a-train.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
What are we doing?
How are we doing, alex?
It is then All right, alex, itis you better go Brazil.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah, I'm going to go with Alex for Brazil.
I'm going to go with Alex forBrazil.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
I mean you can go with Alex.
I mean I was going to say, likethe stats look better, because
you know Jamal has 12-1.
He's got 9-2.
So you know, but I'm going togo with Alex.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Jamal, I knew it Go black guy, all right.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
All right, here's the thing.
Here's the thing.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
Jamal beat Glover.
Glover became right Glover.
Teixeira became Alex's coach.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
So there's this extra piece of I can't lose to you.
Yeah, exactly, so unless Jamalknocks him out cold, he's gonna
to be bringing flames to provelike you know what this fight is
going to end in?

Speaker 1 (39:38):
a knockout, yeah, oh, definitely.
It's also like and that's whatyou love, a-train, absolutely,
you love knockouts.
That's the way Ego Loveknockouts.

Speaker 5 (39:45):
Everybody loves knockouts, big balls knockout.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Well, if Alex's coach is someone who lost to Jamal,
then and he's probably beingcoached on what made him lose,
you know so he's going to havehis guard up for that particular
move.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
But they're two different fighters too.
Yes, so Jamal fought hiscoaches.
Coaches are.
He's a knockout, but he's aBrazilian black belt right
Versus Alex is a fighterstand-up.
He came from the kickboxingworld, so that means it's going
to be a brawl.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
That's it If Jamal can stay away from his left hand
, he'll be all right.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
Remember Alex and Adesanya, Remember that whole
thing.
So he fought one of the beststrikers in the UFC.
So I'm worried about that.
So to me you add a couple ofthose pieces to the equation.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Was Jamal knocked out last time Because Alex has been
knocked out.
So I haven't seen Jamal getknocked out, so I don't know.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
He probably lost by decision or either.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
Alex is super, you know.
The only thing you could say isAlex has moved up in weight, so
we don't know what that wholedifference in power level is,
but Alex is strong, alex is athis natural weight right now.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
All right, right now, hey y'all wrong.
Alex is at his natural weightright now.
Hey y'all, thank you.
This is our prediction.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Tune in next time this is our predictions we gonna
get drunk next time.

Speaker 6 (41:03):
I don't know, if we Are, we gonna take shots on the
podcast while we're doing thepodcast, or are we gonna do it

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Nope, I'm gonna have to do that on air.
