Welcome to Breakfast of Champions Season 1, Episode 17.
Seventeen.
We're almost legal, guys.
Almost. We're so close.
In certain states, we can...
Ahhhh.
A minor.
Ahhhh.
(01:04):
Welcome to Breakfast of Champions.
This is the first time you're joining us.
We talk about breakfast foods and violence.
We kind of have been covering several things.
We've been covering donuts.
We've been covering what people's favorite breakfast sandwiches are.
And we also talk about the UFC.
And we talk about combat sports in general.
Power slap.
(01:26):
Pfft.
Just different things.
So thanks for joining us.
If you would like to give us a phone call, it's 682-294-0101.
We also have an email address.
It's breakfastofchampspot at gmail.com.
And we are joined by our third co-host, Kevin.
Hey, Kevin.
Third co-host, Kevin O'Malley.
Checking in.
(01:47):
Ms. 16 here for 17.
Yeah, I had COVID last week.
That's still a thing.
Yeah.
Apparently.
Are you a time traveler from two years ago?
No, you know what's funny?
We took a walk last night, the whole family.
And one of my kids was like,
we used to do this all the time during COVID.
I was like, yeah, we did.
(02:08):
It was awesome.
All we did during COVID was go for walks because nobody was out.
And we would just wander around everywhere, go down Magnolia, and it was just dead.
Like 8 p.m. on a Saturday night.
Nothing.
Yeah.
There was a donkey that's kind of on the back end of our neighborhood.
And that was the most exciting thing.
(02:29):
He was like, oh my God, there's a donkey.
Would you say he's on the ass end of your neighborhood?
That's right.
Sorry.
No, you're all good.
Couldn't help myself.
Today we've got Kevin here.
We're at Fort Worth Float.
Last night I teased on the jab that we might plunge,
but my tummothy has been killing me this morning.
I've been up since about five kind of dealing with tummy issues.
So maybe after this we'll do some promo in the plunge or something like that.
(02:55):
But we've been having a good week.
We've got a lot of fun stuff to talk about.
This past UFC Vegas 97.
There's a couple of controversial things we can discuss.
There's also Noche UFC Riyadh season presented Noche UFC coming up on Saturday.
And then we've also got this fun UFC MMA conspiracy iceberg that we're kind of taking a look at right now.
(03:21):
I just figured like some of this stuff is just like really like nipple tweaking.
Like, what is that about?
So I figured some of these fun ones Parker could pick and we'll kind of dissect them and talk about what we want to talk about.
You're really going to let me pick?
I've already got a couple picked out.
And then for breakfast, we kind of got a double breakfast this morning.
(03:44):
So it's going to be like dealer's choice.
I went to Pearl Snap.
We've been teasing them for a while.
There's a cobblen-esque of sausage and cheese.
And then we've got some actual kolaches.
That one is we've got a pecan pie, a pumpkin pie and a pumpkin cream cheese and a strawberry cream cheese.
(04:08):
I figured we'd go with the fall flavors since we're starting to feel some cooler temperatures.
That strawberry cream cheese is actually tomato and mayonnaise, not strawberry cream cheese.
I want this on compa anyway.
It's called the Kevin special.
And then Kevin found these amazing frosted chocolatey chip pancake pop tarts that look like they are brand new.
(04:30):
None of us have seen these before.
And so, you know, whenever we see something interesting breakfast wise, we just kind of grab it and make sure we try it on the podcast to let you know what to expect and if you should go grab some or not.
I fucking love pop tarts.
My kids have never had them until recently, but now we're all about it.
We can't keep pop tarts in our house.
My kids will just house a whole box like as soon as it hits the door.
(04:54):
Are you guys a toaster or just straight out raw dog?
Yeah, I like toasting the frosted ones, but the other ones I'm OK just untoasted.
I've also heard of this butter thing.
You guys hear about that?
People spread butter on their pop tarts.
No, that sounds weird.
Yeah, I think Jessica Simpson might have been the precipice for that.
(05:15):
I definitely have heard people loving the toasting it and then putting it like a little pat of butter on a pop tart.
I think that's just overkill in my opinion.
I think they're perfect the way that they come.
Let's see here. If you want to start, however you want to start, if you want to grab one, Pearl Snap Kalachi's is local to this white settlement area, kind of where we're broadcasting from this morning.
(05:41):
I think they're just a one off. There's no like they're not a chain.
They're not like. Yeah, I don't think so.
I've never had it. I've driven past it a million times.
Never stopped. And if you are from Texas, you will know that Kalachi's are a big Texas thing, especially if you're driving down 35 going towards that glizzy did not break.
(06:05):
Did not break. It's a very rubbery glizzy.
Sad, sad times. Let's see if we can snap the glizzy.
We got it. Okay.
So if you're driving down 35 going down to Austin, you're probably going to stop by the check stop or the one across the highway, which is Slovakia Slovakia.
(06:27):
That's right. I'm I'm pro Slovakia. Same.
Same. Yeah. And so the the move for me is if you're going to Austin, you go to Slovakia, because it's on the right of the highway so you can get off, get on. And then when you're coming back, you make that stop by the check stop.
What you guys thinking? This is delicious.
Check stop. I hate going to check stuff. It's not good. It is anxiety inducing every time. It really is.
(06:55):
There's no clear cut way to get in and out without having to bump into somebody or get somebody's attention or feel like you're just putting somebody out.
Whereas Slovakia is more like a Buckeyes kind of a stop. And they've got a hot station and cold stations and they're always really rip, rorn, ready to serve you.
They've got a number system. If it's really, really busy, you can grab a number. So there's no pushing and shoving and cut in line and that sort of thing.
(07:23):
I bring it up time and time again just because it's such a big part of my life. But any time I think about kolaches, especially like the sausage cheese,
Klobalanesk, I would bring up Sunday School Church because that's kind of what I grew up with on Sundays.
Somebody would inevitably bring a dozen donuts and then probably bring like a box of the mini kolaches.
(07:44):
And we'd break off into our boys go over there, girls go over here, you know, and so the boys always have space for the Holy Spirit.
The boys always had the sausage and kolaches and the ladies always had like the dozen donuts.
That seems very weirdly symbolic.
It's very masculine, very like you get the glizzy and you stay over there and we'll get the whole and we'll stay over here.
(08:08):
Exactly.
Do you guys watch SVU at all? Law and Order SVU?
I used to be a diehard fan. I haven't watched it in years though.
So Law and Order SVU is a spin off of the original Law and Order.
They basically concentrate on sex crimes.
(08:29):
They're especially heinous, as what it says in the intro.
So Ali and I have been really, really into watching one or two episodes of SVU every single night before we go to bed.
And it kind of started off with like Ali just putting something on that like she could mindlessly watch because she's seen it so many times that she just puts it on kind of mindlessly watches it and like scrolls her phone.
(08:54):
And this is usually at night after we put the kids to bed. I'm playing Fortnite.
So she's always like, do you want to put this on? And I'm like, no, go for it.
And then maybe like two or three days in a row of her putting it on and it being in the background, we just both find ourselves like I'm not playing Fortnite.
We're not looking at her phone. We're just straight up watching SVU.
(09:16):
So her birthday was yesterday. And have you guys done cameos at all?
Or you know what cameos are? I know what cameo is.
So I searched up SVU on the cameo and there's four actors that are available to get cameos from. Iced Tea is one of them, obviously.
I could not get him because I put in my request and I think his manager, whoever handles like his cameo stuff, said that he's not doing it this week because he's on like some sort of vacation.
(09:45):
Even Iced Tea doesn't handle his own cameo requests.
No, no. And also Iced Tea's cameo request is six hundred freaking dollars.
Holy shit. That's some Iced Tea money.
It was either going to be Iced Tea or everybody else from SVU. So she got everybody else from SVU.
So Kim Novak and Michelle Heard and BD Wong, who I don't know if you're familiar with any of the Jurassic Parks or I've recognized him initially from.
(10:14):
But there's a huge, amazing, we watched it all the time movie for my family.
It was called Father of the Bride. Oh, yeah.
Actually, my mom texted me about that movie yesterday.
Well, there you go. So BD Wong plays Harvey Weinstein, which is like Martin Short's assistant.
He's like, I'm Harvey Weinstein. How can I help you?
How can I be emphasized? And so I got those three to send Ali cameo for her birthday.
(10:39):
Kim Novak had her partner and they sang like he had a guitar and they sang Happy Birthday to her.
Michelle Heard sang Happy Birthday to her. And BD Wong was a five minute long video.
And basically he just roasted both of us for like five minutes.
And it was probably the funniest thing that I have to show it to you guys after we get done here.
(11:00):
But he was like his his cameo request was different than the rest of them.
It was more like a question based type thing.
It was like, what are you doing for your birthday? How old is this person turning?
Like all that stuff was the other ones. It was like 300 characters to tell us what you want to do.
So I was like, she's turning this age. We're doing this.
And then he gets on. He's like, I don't know how old you're turning.
(11:21):
And I'm like, you are phoning this in. BD Wong to me looked like looked and sounded like he was super stoned whenever he made this birthday message.
Maybe he was. Yeah. And so we were going to go see Sublime for Ali's birthday.
She's like she's like kind of like an ironic. She loves Sublime.
She's a very into reggae and that whole thing. So we were going to go do that.
(11:44):
And so I put that in the message. And so BD Wong was like, are you guys like a Ska family or something?
And like he just for the rest of the message, like I hope you have a sublime birthday filled with sublime sublime music.
So, yeah, it was I was just we talked about it on the job a little bit last night as far as like we end our our days with sexual violence.
(12:06):
And and so he basically made a point of it's like, what's wrong with you?
He's like, this is too much violence. This is too much anxiety before bed.
And then he started having like an existential crisis. Like, wait, I made a living off of this.
So, yeah, keep watching it. He's like, I'm still making checks.
Kevin, you finished yours. You had the pecan. Is that what you had? Yeah.
(12:28):
Pecan pie. Pecan pie. How is that? Very good. Very good.
How's the dough there? A little thicker than what I remember from like Czech stopper sova checks.
Yeah, we're a little bit about a bad thing. And the filling was great.
Excellent. And you had some of the sausage. Yeah, it was very good.
Besides that, we need not have to snap to it. No spring back on that.
(12:50):
I'm going to try this strawberry cream cheese ketchup and mayonnaise.
So I've never received a cameo, but I have seen some friends who have some fun ones riff raff.
That was one. Paul Rubens was another one for a friend. Same friend that got riff raff.
(13:20):
And then Kevin and I's mutual friend, Jeremy, got Rachel Dolezal for his birthday one year.
No fucking way, bro. His then girlfriend, now wife, had messaged me.
I was like, who should I get a cameo for? Hilarious.
And I was like, you know, he and I were just making fun of Rachel Dolezal earlier.
(13:45):
You should see if she's on cameo and his wife's name is also Rachel.
So Rachel Dolezal is like, hey, I'm the other Rachel. I'm your other Rachel.
And then Jeremy got Rachel, not Dolezal, his wife, one of I don't remember which one,
(14:07):
but one of the Insane Clown posse members, a cameo for her birthday.
Shaggy too dope. I don't know which one probably. Yes.
I don't remember the other one. I was just remembering. I know it wasn't the Great Malenko.
Like the Riddle Box was not open. Hilarious.
(14:28):
Ever watch Kill Tony? Yes. Me and my wife are big fans of it,
but she really hates William Montgomery. So I want to get her one from him sometime.
Oh, that would be hilarious. Just screaming happy birthday at someone that hates him.
I hear he just makes up some ridiculous, elaborate story for everybody.
I love that. You ever see Kill Tony or know about Kill Tony? No.
(14:49):
So whenever I sent you a clip of them selling out Madison Square Garden,
and I was like, this is what podcasting is like now.
So Kill Tony is a podcast that started in LA at the Comedy Store,
and it is Tony Hinchcliffe and Brian Redban.
(15:10):
Brian Redban was the first producer on Joe Rogan Experience and kind of formed that whole Death Squad TV crew.
Really, I mean, unsung hero of podcasting in general,
because he really helped set up studios and produced a lot of early podcasts for,
I mean, some of the biggest podcasts that's out today, like Your Mom's House with Tom and Christina.
(15:32):
He was a very early on, early adapter, especially of the video podcast.
He just constantly was making videos with Joe Rogan and throwing them up on the Internet.
And now that's kind of where we're at.
So they started in LA at the Comedy Store.
And basically all it is, you put your name in a hat or a bucket.
And if they call you, you have 60 seconds to give a little like a one minute set.
(15:56):
And then they basically like give you pointers or roast you or.
And so it started off real small, like less than 100 people.
And for the past like 10, 12 years, it's just continually gotten bigger, bigger, bigger.
And now they're just selling out Madison Square Garden.
That's crazy.
It's just a podcast.
It was a while ago, but I saw them a couple of times at Hyenas here in Fort Worth.
(16:19):
And Tony has actually come in here a couple of times.
Oh, that's awesome. That's very cool.
Look at that. We're so close to greatness.
I know.
Every time we come here, we're like UFC fighters, famous podcasters.
I want to set off the alarm in Hyenas.
Really?
Security alarm. Yeah.
I thought you were going to smoke you smoked in there.
(16:41):
No, I found out that, you know, where I work is in the same building as Hyenas.
And turns out we share an elevator and I accidentally hit the wrong button.
And it took me to the sub sub basement, which is Hyenas.
And it just opens up to this dark kitchen.
And I'm looking around, I was like, what's going on in here?
(17:02):
So I start walking out in it, not thinking anything and set off the security alarm.
Had to run back to the elevator, go up stairs and I don't know what happened.
So before we get into this conspiracy iceberg, oh, let's rate.
We always forget to rate.
(17:23):
What about do we want to bust out the Pop Tarts?
I was going to think like, let's let this settle for a second and then come back and do like a second tasting like later towards the end.
So that I were not like flavor flavor.
So zero to six glizzies.
Zero to six checks.
(17:45):
I would give that a solid.
Four and a half.
OK, four point five on that one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How are you feeling over there?
I give it I think five checks.
OK, five checks.
If it was a little lighter in the dough and maybe less dough, more filling, that'd be a six.
(18:06):
Excellent.
I'm going to go with four point eight checks on mine to kind of split the difference between you guys.
I'm a big fan of the check stop.
My family has been there several times.
The only thing I am not a fan of is the fact that they are not on Uber Eats or Door Dash.
I really enjoy it.
If you're in the Fort Worth area, specifically in the West Fort Worth area, give them a stop by.
(18:30):
They're kind of in a cute little shopping center that has like hot pilates and other things.
So it's a it's definitely without having to make the trip to West.
Yeah.
You get the same experience, like the same flavor taste.
Yeah. So if you're not going down to Austin or going going down south anytime soon, you can get a taste of that.
(18:52):
And it's a small local business.
That's right.
We love supporting small local businesses because that's what keeps our economy running for corporations.
We've got a big fight coming up.
UFC 306 Riyadh season presents Noche UFC.
This is the second annual Noche UFC that the UFC has put on.
(19:15):
Dana White's put on.
He has an affinity for telling people that he loves Mexican fighters.
He's this is, quote unquote, the love letter to Mexico and Mexican fighters.
We got a couple a couple of things I didn't tell you or send you.
I really think that this event is kind of in trouble.
(19:37):
Oh, yeah.
Two things. One, ticket prices were like crazy, crazy, crazy.
And then two weeks ago, they went down by 60 percent.
And then what I'm hearing now is that they're even down another 20 percent.
So there was a point in time where you couldn't get in the door for under a thousand dollars.
(20:00):
And now there are seats that are still available this week that are definitely closer to like six, seven hundred dollars.
So, yeah, so the ticket sales being discounted, especially this close to the event and the fact that this event is not sold out is concerning to people in the media
and to people that care about that sort of thing.
The second thing is Dana White is getting ahead of the story.
(20:24):
And yesterday he was on a podcast and he is setting the expectations super low instead of his usual like this is going to be the best thing you've ever seen in your life.
This it'll never be tapped. He was like, we just won't know until Saturday and maybe it'll suck.
And so I've never really heard him be like, don't you worry about like an upcoming event?
(20:45):
But he is setting those expectations really, really low.
So low ticket sales, low expectations.
This is something that a lot of people were looking forward to because it is that sphere in Las Vegas.
The cool thing that I did hear that I am looking forward to is apparently they hired an Academy Award winning director and an Academy.
(21:09):
I can't say an Academy Award.
Director and then a Emmy Award winning producer for like transitions and stuff like that.
And the other thing that they've done is the first time that they've ever done it is they've created six short films.
And so before each fight, there will be like a 90 second short film that will encompass the entire sphere.
(21:32):
And then at the end of that short film, whatever environment that film was in, that will become the environment of the sphere.
And so it'll be like a history of like a Mexican fighter.
And then all of a sudden you're fighting in like the pyramids.
So each one of the main event fights is going to get one of these 90 second vignette like super movies from these people.
(21:55):
And then they're going to go into some sort of like biome that represents one or both of the fighters of that event.
So obviously they're probably going to have some sort of like desert for Sean O'Malley trains and resides in Arizona.
Rob DeWallish really is from Georgia.
So I'm excited to see that I've never I've never I don't know what to expect.
(22:18):
You know, just because I've been watching it for so long.
Usually it's like awesome song.
Get your stuff taped up, greased up, get in there and fight.
But now we've got like entertainment in between fights that are supposed to be like high, very high level directors.
And they've already put this together.
I get why do you think he is setting expectations so low?
(22:41):
So two reasons, one Canelo's fighting that night.
And so he's going head to head with an actual Mexican boxer that's fighting another Mexican.
Actually, I think Eduardo Berlinga is Puerto Rican.
But they've got this huge pay per view event with Canelo that he's going like head to head against.
And I think that Canelo's event may already be sold out.
(23:03):
Granted, it's not at the sphere, but I think that you've got people that are wanting to celebrate Mexican fighters by going to watch a headline fight with Mexican fighters.
Obviously, neither one of these headlining fighters is Mexican, even though this is the quote unquote Mexican love letter.
That's kind of what I'm thinking. I'm thinking if Canelo out sells him outperforms him, then he kind of has that like, oh, you know, we already knew that it wasn't going to do very well.
(23:31):
The also the the narrative is that he spent 20 million dollars of his own money on this and that he's also had to bring in Riyadh season, which is Turkey, Turkey, Ella Shake from Saudi Arabia that's been putting on all those boxing events.
This is the first time that the UFC's ever had to ask for a co promoter.
So I guess the money was running a little low personally for Dana White and he had to bring in Saudi money to save the rest of the production value.
(23:59):
I think that he's going up against Canelo. It's a really expensive event.
And so I think that if you have anything other than like these high level expectations of like it went through the roof that he's just wasted, wasted all of his money.
And then lastly, I think probably because of the fact that you have a lot of people rousing him on the fact that a lot of these fighters on this card are not Mexican fighters.
(24:23):
And so we've had an entire year because he planned this a year ago. As soon as you know, you see the first one ended.
He was like, I'm going to do a September 16 card every year.
I don't care if Canelo is doing it. We're going to do it in the sphere.
It's going to be the best thing. And then just slowly but surely this past week, the expectations have been like, we'll see sales on Saturday afternoon.
(24:47):
And so it just kind of caught me off guard because you're just not used to seeing that sort of promotion like the almost the reverse psychology promotion of it all.
And the amount of promotion I've seen on this fight.
I mean, they've made fight kits. They've made, you know, there's so much going into this.
So you can tell like they spent a lot of money and they're I'm assuming Dana is just realizing he's not going to recoup most.
(25:11):
He's not because they're going to have to discount tickets even further to sell the event out. So, I mean, I don't know.
I doubt paper be. So second part, Turkey, Alashik, he's part of this conversation.
He came out this week and said that every single pay per view event going forward for Riyadh season will be 1999 because why would you still something that you can afford?
(25:34):
So to combat piracy, every single pay per view going forward is only going to be 1999 through Turkey, Alashik.
So when I heard that, I was like, that's a great idea.
I would spend twenty dollars once a month to watch a pay per view event. That's HD. I don't have to worry about breaking the law.
It's not buffering. You know what I mean? Like, why didn't anybody think of this beforehand?
(25:57):
And like also if it's more affordable, more people would be buying it.
So I thought that was a really great idea. I think we're going to see a lot of that a lot because of the Craig Jones imitational influence.
Exactly. Free on YouTube. Flow grappling is a huge pain in the ass and that makes you not want to watch ADCC anyway.
That's right. I think you're right. I think that we're going to do a lot of this like sort of this like cutting out the bullshit.
(26:21):
Like the people that want to watch the events are going to be able to watch the events going forward.
Just like having a more realistic expectation of the fact that like who wants to spend eighty dollars to watch people grapple or.
But also think about it this way. A lot of these people and a lot of people like go to bars that are showing it.
And you know, they're only making that 80 bucks one time on that bar.
(26:44):
But now these people are like, oh, man, I can go buy beer, liquor, liquor store, save money that way and only pay 20 bucks.
I'll watch the bros over. Friends. Yeah. And so you're going to. Yeah, you're going to sell it to so many more people.
Yeah. So I thought that was such a good idea. Dana was asked about it.
Oh, man's doubled down and said the only way to combat piracy is to prosecute the pirates.
(27:08):
So he clearly has no firm grasp on how piracy works and how like that whole thing.
Like it doesn't matter if you get one of the sites, five more will rise up in this place.
So they're exactly like you said, Stream East is one of the huge ones.
The one that a lot of people it's the most popular one that I think of when people talk about watching free events.
(27:34):
They've actually created a Twitter account since I guess before two weeks ago before the event, one of their streams went down, got taken down.
And they placed a I sent it to the FBI, placed it a certificate of seizure on that domain.
That day, Stream East created a Twitter account and basically said, we've got thousands of websites and thousands of self replicating servers and thousands of VPNs.
(28:00):
You're never going to take us down. Yeah. And basically just like rubbing in Dana's face.
He's like, you can take down the dot com. We've got dot dot info dot sports dot TV dot whatever.
They're all self-replacate self replicating servers in other foreign countries that you're just never going to touch.
So he is not budging on that.
You're going to have to pay $80 if you want to watch the UFC, which is ridiculously dumb because the plan and the pathway for like combating piracy,
(28:26):
having more people interested in your event would be just to lower the prices like Turkey, Alishik saying you're still going to get the money.
I mean, 20 bucks is 20 bucks.
You know, I think that if you personally, I think that's a really great idea.
And so combating what we're talking about as far as like, why is this going to fail?
Well, it's going to be $80. So nobody that has that $80 is going to they're going to be pirating it or going to a bar and they're not going to get that money.
(28:54):
And so, yeah, for for all of these reasons, I'm out.
I'm just kidding. Just this event I'm really excited for was looking forward to it.
But, you know, just as as you're seeing the sausage made, it's kind of like, oh, is it going to be a cool event or are we just going to be watching cool movies in the sphere wishing we were inside the sphere?
(29:15):
I think the latter. Yeah. So let's just go through this real quick.
We've got Raul Rosas Jr. and he's on Raul. Yeah. And I reach Eling. This is the bantam weight bout that will be starting.
This is the only fight on the early prelim. This is craziness. If you take a look at it seriously, there's only one early prelim.
There's only one early prelim fight. And as soon as that's over, we're going into the prelims.
(29:38):
There's four prelims and then you're in the main card.
So the main card only has four. So you've got four, four and so we've only got nine fights for the night.
Yeah, that's the other thing. I mean, it's like the main cards at nine.
Well, what time is the early prelim start? Eight thirty. That's exactly what I was going to say.
(29:59):
You can start it. Well, I guess with 90 second movies in between each start at seven.
Be ready to go by then. So we've got Raul Rosas Jr. and a richie link. We've got Parker already going for Raul Rosas Jr.
Chiwis. I'm just saying anyone who is from Mexico is who I'm putting my money on this.
There you go. Just like straight line ballots. Yeah, exactly.
(30:22):
Kevin, have you seen Raul Rosas Jr.? Do you know anything about him? No, nothing.
So this gentleman right here, Raul Rosas Jr., basically made his way into the UFC two years ago. He was 17 years old.
And so he actually had to have his mom and dad's permission to fight into the UFC.
He has only lost one time so far. He is a great, great wrestler.
(30:48):
And clearly his head is built like a brick, so no one has been able to kind of finish him yet.
But he is only 19 years old and he has bought his mom a house and a van.
Raul Rosas Jr. He has this catchphrase. He goes, Chiwi, every time.
And so I think it's funny this past week, Gilbert Burns fought and at the post-fight press conference,
(31:14):
they were asking him about like how his podcast is doing because everybody's got a freaking podcast.
So he said it's going well except for the fact that his co-host, Hinata Maikano, talks shit about everybody in the UFC.
So then they're like alienating their guests. In particular, he's like, I really like that one kid. What's his name? Chiwis?
And somebody was like, Raul. He's like, yeah, Raul Rosas. I like that kid.
(31:38):
But then Hinata Maikano said, that is the ugliest motherfucker in the UFC and pulled up a picture and basically roasted him for a good 10 seconds.
I mean, he has a very distinct look, distinct face, very native.
Yeah. I'm going to go with Raul Rosas Jr. myself because like you said, it is Mexican Independence Day.
(31:59):
But Richie Ling is no joke. I mean, it is his fight record. He's got 35 fights.
Yeah. Wild. Yeah. I think youth and also just the fact, like you said, enthusiasm is going to be on the side of Raul Rosas Jr.
Kevin, do you want to? Well, probably going to agree with you guys.
I want the Chinese guy to win because I've seen a lot of good up and coming Chinese fighters. I'm such a big fan of Chinese MMA right now. For sure.
(32:26):
He's got a lot more experience. I don't see an age for either of them. Yeah.
19 and so Raul Rosas Chihuahuas. We've got you locked in as our pick and then kicking off the prelims, we've got a flyweight bout between Edgar Chires and Joshua Van.
(32:49):
Oh, I did something. Maybe, maybe you. I know, right. I love technology.
We don't know much about Edgar Chires and Joshua Van. I have heard of the name Edgar Chires, but I don't know much about him.
It looks like he is going to be your favorite. Is that right? No, he's the underdog. Yeah.
(33:12):
We got a Mexican underdog guys. Edgar Chires, Joshua Van, we don't know much about your flyweights.
So you're going to be really light and fast. And it looks like Joshua Van is the favorite from the United States.
So I'm going to go with the underdog guys. Yeah, I'm going to cash in on the underdog because if I don't know anything about you, I'm going to try to make money off you.
(33:33):
So let's move on to this one. Yasmin Jagiri versus Kaitlyn Souza, women's straight, strong weight belt.
They're going to be fighting. Oh, look at that weight disparity. Wow. Almost 10 pounds. Yeah.
So Kaitlyn Souza is going to have to cut more weight to get down to 115. So that means she's probably going to be exhausted and dehydrated.
(33:55):
And looks like Yasmin Jagiri has her on a reach by an inch on both the legs and the arms.
So personally, just taking a look at the fact that this young lady is going to have to cut weight to get down to that 115.
I'm going to go with Yasmin Jagiri. Same. Yeah. Also Mexico. So Mexico versus Brazil.
(34:17):
We're going to go Mexico. Lightweight belt. Manuel Torres versus Ignacio Bahamundes.
These guys again. So this is the other reason that I thought you asked about, like, why are expectations low?
Nobody on this card is over 155 pounds. So we're not going to have a whole lot of knockouts.
We're going to have a lot of submissions and a lot of decisions because you don't have like a lot of huge knockout power outside of Sean O'Malley, who's kind of like a sniper and has regularly knocked people out.
(34:45):
Manuel Torres from Mexico stands 510 and is 165. Again, someone probably going to have to cut down to 155.
He does have a shorter reach in both the legs and the arms. And he's shorter. Looks like Bahamundes is 6'3".
So that's a big 6'3 down to 155. That's that's not OK.
(35:11):
Imagine if I was walking around 100, not 100, but close to 100 pounds lighter. Yeah, that would be strange.
I don't know how that happens. I've I have as a dude who is 6'3".
I got down to like 190 in my adult life and I looked very like the machinist.
Yeah, exactly. Sadly, I'm going to have to go with Ignacio Bahamundes on this just for the fact that he's taller and probably is going to have some better grappling than Manuel Torres.
(35:39):
I'm still going with Manuel Torres. I'm sticking with it.
What weight do they fight at? Because Torres is 165 and Ignacio is 156.
UFC lightweight.
So I'm going for Ignacio, but I think if he has an extra 10 pounds, he'll have an even better chance.
So Islam Makachev is the lightweight champion. I'm assuming that's 155.
(36:05):
155. Yeah, having to cut 10 pounds is going to be.
Having to get 10 pounds and he's shorter and he's like, where's the 10 pounds coming from?
Because the dude is freaking cut up like I guess it's going to have to come from the arms, maybe some from the water weight dehydration.
The premier prelim is Irina Aldana and Norma Dumont.
(36:29):
We've got a Brazilian and a Mexican, just like most of the card.
You've got this Irina Aldana is from Mexico. She's 5'9 and she's got a little bit of a reach advantage in both the arms and they're equal on the legs.
Let's see here. Look at their records. Irina Aldana has more experience, but Norma Dumont has less losses.
(36:59):
Sorry, Ali. I think Norma Dumont is a cutie.
When I see her, I'm like, oh, she's cute. I'm going to go with Irina Aldana on this one.
That's how I'm going with. I think she's a little bit bigger, just a little, but she's got some experience.
Yeah, for sure. Plus, if a lot of the Mexicans win, I think the momentum will just be like Mexico, Mexico, Mexico.
(37:23):
Irina has more wins, but also more losses.
That's what I was saying. Norma Dumont has less losses, so she's probably a better KD ratio is better.
I still think that just because of the momentum of Mexico and the fact she's a little bit bigger than her, but to each their own.
All right. Main event. Here we go. We've got Ronaldo Rodriguez and Ode Osborne kicking off the main event.
(37:50):
Ode Osborne is a unconventional fighter. He fights with really quick, weird angles.
But I think that Ronaldo Rodriguez is a good matchup for him because he's one of those press, press, press.
He's going to try to out cardio you. And so I think that's going to be cool.
You have someone that's kind of springy at different angles, but that someone's going to keep their head down and keep pressing them and keep going forward.
(38:15):
Yeah, for sure. I already know your answer because he's Mexican.
Another big weight difference here. Osborne is one almost 140. Rodriguez is 126.
Yeah, and they're flyweights so that is 125 to make. So yeah, you're right.
Ode Osborne is going to have to cut 15 pounds at least to get down to the weight limit.
We'll have to see what happens on Friday. That's the other thing is if some of these there's so few fighters on this card.
(38:41):
If some of these fighters miss weight and they wind up scrapping the event, they're going to be like scrambling to try to fill that event at the last second.
Or they already have a light card nine fights if one fight gets dropped. You know, it's just like even lighter.
So this is it's insane to me. Fighting at 125 like.
(39:02):
Five, six, though. Yeah, still. Yeah. But that's just that's crazy.
I'm going to go. Ronaldo Rodriguez simply for the fact that Ode is probably going to have to cut that weight.
Yeah, yeah. And has a better record, more fights, more fights, more more wins, less losses.
(39:23):
And again, Mexico momentum, lightweight bout versus Daniels, Alhuber and Esteban Ribovich.
So lightweight, we're going to be at one fifty five. So Ribovich has to cut from 173 down to one fifty five.
And then we've got them both with only one loss. So this is going to be a good one.
(39:47):
It looks like both of these guys are kind of hitting their stride in their careers.
We've got Mexico versus Argentina. Daniels Alhuber is six one. Esteban Ribovich is five ten.
And so Zella Hoover is already at one fifty six right now.
He probably doesn't have to cut much weight again. Another really tall guy that's super cut up.
And Ribovich is five ten and is going to have to cut at least 15 pounds to get down or so.
(40:13):
Ten, twelve ish, whatever that is. Reach advantage, man.
You've got an eight inch reach advantage for Zell Hoover. Dude, his all arms. Yeah.
And then you also has four and a half inches on him on legs as well.
So kicks, punches, general stature. I think Daniels Alhuber is going to give him the work. Absolutely.
(40:38):
Esteban Ribovich, what a cool name. These guys have great names. OK, now I'm really excited.
Brian T. City Ortega versus Diego Lopez.
If you've been watching any of the Ultimate Fighter this season, Diego Lopez is on Alexa Grasso's team.
He is one of the assistant coaches. If you've been watching UFC for any of the past 10 years,
(41:00):
you will have known that Brian T. City Ortega has been in some of the greatest fights that we've ever seen in the UFC.
The last one that comes to mind was his last fight with Alexander Volkonovsky.
They both put each other in submissions and look like the other were out.
But somehow, some way, they both got out of those.
And it just was one of those classics where they beat the shit out of each other for five rounds. Love it.
(41:24):
Diego Lopez is younger, kind of has more experience, but he's a little bit younger as far as his age is concerned.
They're both right on weight. Diego is going to be a little bit taller.
We've got United States versus Brazil, so you're going to have to make a choice.
Going with Diego. OK, Diego Lopez.
I'll go with Ortega just because I've heard more of him.
(41:47):
I am too going with Brian Ortega because I think that he has the killer instinct and Diego Lopez is kind of an emo soy boy.
I'm just kidding. OK, co-main event title belt title belt title belt on the line.
We've got Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko.
So the background of this is the first time they fought Alexa Taptor, the second time they fought,
(42:12):
they went to a decision and most of the MMA community and Valentina thinks that she won.
So even though Alexa has beaten her twice, they're going for a third match because of the perception of the last match
and because of the fact that Valentina Shevchenko held the belt for like eight years.
So Alexa Grasso has successfully defended her belt against Valentina Shevchenko already, but they're fighting again.
(42:39):
They also were the coaches on this season of the Ultimate Fighter.
So this is that big fight after the season wraps up.
Last weekend or two weeks ago, we had the two weeks ago, we had the winners of the Ultimate Fighter fight each other.
And so we'll have the coaches wrap it up on Riyadh season.
No, J.U.F.C. Nice. I think that Valentina is just getting too long in the tooth for Alexa.
(43:02):
I think Alexa has her number. She's going to grapple her.
And she's basically to make this the most boring fight you've ever seen.
Valentina wants to stand up. She wants to strike.
And Alexa just likes to wrestle.
So I think that Alexa is going to have her one more time.
But you never know. It could be one of those exciting things where the old vet comes back and gets her belt back.
(43:24):
All good. Yeah.
The road getting you. You know it.
That gives me the hiccups sometimes.
I'm going to go with Alexa. Yeah, me too.
I'll go with Valentina just because like you said, her controversial decision on the last one, I think she's really going to go for it this time.
Yeah, I think there's no way that she doesn't leave it all out there.
(43:47):
I mean, coming off of two losses, coming off of like I said, the fact that she's had the belt for so long.
I think it's just one of those things where she is going to basically she'll die out there before she gives up or before she quits.
You know what I mean?
The big conspiracy theory with Valentina Shevchenko is that she's a Russian spy.
So she speaks like she speaks like nine languages.
(44:13):
She's like certified in firearms instructing.
Definitely.
All right. Here we are at the main event.
Sugar Sean O'Malley versus Merab the machine.
Devalesh Willie.
This fight has been brewing for about a year and a half.
Merab is teammates with Al Jermaine Sterling.
Al Jermaine Sterling.
(44:34):
Goodness. Al Jermaine Sterling held the belt for quite some time and Sean took it off of him.
And when Sean got into the ring to face off with Al Jermaine Sterling, he had on the red Michael Jackson thriller jacket.
And then he took it off.
And without knowing it, Merab grabbed it and started parading around the ring because he was Al Jo's teammate and he had Sean's jacket and basically was just talking shit.
(44:57):
What's cool is and something that I didn't realize till this week is that every single time Merab won a fight from his first fight in the UFC to the most recent fight, he's called out Sean O'Malley.
So he has had Sean O'Malley in his sights from the very first fight that he's fought in the UFC.
(45:19):
And so we talked about this.
This is kind of that crazy guy.
Merab is the guy that he cut his eye in training three weeks ago and immediately rushed to Instagram to post the cut and to show everybody that he was getting stitches.
And then a week later, after Dana White called him the stupidest person in the UFC, he took out his kitchen scissors and took out the stitches himself.
(45:44):
And then about a week after that, about a week ago, he posted these promotional photos with something that looked like staff on his arm.
So I don't know if these are like mind games that he's doing where he's just like, I'm crazy.
Or if he's really stupid and just thinks this is the way to solve a fight.
But it's like this guy is one of the most accurate strikers in the history of the UFC.
(46:05):
And you've basically told him where to hit you on your face.
He's going to reopen that cut immediately.
I mean, it's not healed.
It's three weeks old.
I just don't think there's a way where Sean O'Malley loses this fight.
I don't either.
I think that Murab has really good grappling and he's really strong and I love all of that for him.
But I think that Sean O'Malley has faced his share of grapplers and has good takedown defense and just will be able to piece him up before he even gets to that.
(46:36):
And I think the other thing is that Murab underestimates Sean O'Malley's cardio because he thinks that people that smoke weed don't have cardio.
So the first time he ever called out Sean, he said, you keep smoking, I'll keep training and we'll see where each other winds up.
Obviously, Sean has the belt.
But does Sean O'Malley have a sick video of him shadow boxing in the rain?
(46:59):
He does because he's the one that shot the video.
Apparently Murab likes to shadow box in the rain and Sean O'Malley caught him the last time they were at the PI and that happened.
I think Sean's going to win this one just based on skill.
Crazy as a factor, but it doesn't always defeat skill.
(47:21):
The only thing I could see being a problem is the wrestling and grappling because I know Georgia has a lot of really good and unconventional judo players.
So if there was any influence there, that could help him.
He was a European judo champion and he also medaled during Olympic qualification judo.
(47:43):
So you're right. That is something that he is going to have to watch and make sure that he's not making any mistakes when it comes to take down defense.
He's got to watch his spacing. He's got to watch that entry and he's got to watch basically that threat every single time that he's going to go reach down for those legs.
You've got to throw out an uppercut or a knee or something to basically know like, I see what you're doing.
(48:04):
But yeah, I think you're right. If there's any way that Murab pulls this off, he's going to wrestle him and make it super boring and just control time it and point it out.
But I think that, like we said, I think Sean's got skill on his side. He's got the youth on his side.
He's got the momentum with the different promotions that are backing him.
I mean, the guy basically has sponsors. The guy basically has sponsors for everything.
(48:30):
He has his own podcast with his coach. I mean, he's just everywhere doing everything.
So really exciting fighter. He's my son's favorite fighter.
Do you guys remember when we were kids, they had those pillows that were the WWF fighters?
Oh, yeah, I still have mine. I got one for the Undertaker for my kid for Christmas.
So they are making them for UFC fighters now. And so I got one of those. I forget what they're called.
(48:55):
They have a name. They're like tough, tough something or other.
But they have one for Sean O'Malley and I bought it for Rhodes for his birthday in November.
So he was he was he asked for it. And then I was looking at it last night and then they had that thing where they were like only two left.
I'm like, there's no way that these two are going to last till November. So I went ahead and ordered it last night.
So I've got a Sean O'Malley WWF pillow from the 90s basically coming. That's fucking I can't wait till I get serious.
(49:22):
I can show you guys. They also had that BMF shirt that I showed you that Max Holloway oversized one.
And it was on sale for like 25 percent off sale when I got that for myself. So nice. Blessed man forever.
All right, folks, if you run our broke boys betting club, you've heard our picks.
Please put those in for us. And then when we cash out, send us our winnings.
(49:43):
We appreciate you doing that for us out there in betting land.
Just quickly before we go to the conspiracy iceberg, did you see any of the fight this past weekend?
I have not seen any of it. Did you? OK.
So UFC 97 in Vegas this past weekend, there were two finishes that I want to talk about because I think they're going to be overturned.
(50:05):
The first one was a fight between Demopolis. Remember, we talked about Demopolis.
And basically what happened in that first round is the grappler grabbed the inside of her glove to gain leverage and pull the arm bar.
And so in the middle of the fight, she basically was screaming, she's inside my glove, she's inside my glove, she's inside my glove.
(50:30):
And the referee didn't do anything about it and then went ahead and she won.
And then so that that might be overturned. And then the second one is there was a fighter that was fighting Steve Garcia.
We have another one. We had Steve Garcia and there were some elbows to the back of the head that contributed to some some huge contusions.
(50:52):
So there was like physical evidence of the illegal strikes to the back of the head. And so that one is being talked about as well.
So we're running a little shorter on time. We've got some customers coming here in a few minutes.
So let's go ahead and get into this iceberg. Kevin, before we get in the iceberg, you said you had some things you want to bring up.
Yeah, two things. One, I left on that voicemail. Playing fighting games. Do you guys use a block or just attack the whole time?
(51:19):
You go first. As I've gotten older, I've used block more. But when I was younger, it was just attack, attack, attack. Yeah, I do.
I have always been just an attack guy to this day. I've not like even in a fortnight and what the second they were like, no build.
I was like, perfect. I don't have to like that. Yeah, that's my biggest thing.
(51:42):
Fortnight specifically, I remember I've definitely told you the story on if I've told on the podcast. But when Aiden started playing it, I was he's like on the PlayStation.
Cool. Go on the switch. Like play. I'm just like running around shooting everybody just trying to kill everyone.
It's like, no, that's not how you do it. You got to go do this and then build this and do this dance. And then you got to go to this place.
You got to do that and like tell me all this stuff. I'm just like, I just want to kill people.
(52:08):
I come from Counter-Strike and Call of Duty. Like just put me in to like shoot shit. Yeah.
I'm the same way. I'm a attack all the time. I'm not worried about my healing. I'm not worried about my defenses.
I'm not worried about blocking. I'm just I'm going forward the entire time. Yeah.
Finding games like Mortal Kombat's attack all the time. But other games like God of War, we have to parry.
(52:32):
I do have to do that more. That's true. That's true. I was actually playing Super Punch Out the other night on the Switch.
And I was trying to like dodge and block more in that game. So.
OK. Other thing. Do you guys remember late 90s or early 2000s? A show called Martial Law.
Ever watched that? Was that with Shao Yun? No. Jackie Chan's buddy. Sam Oh Hong. Sam Oh Hong. Yeah.
(53:02):
It was kind of trying to capitalize on the buddy cop. Was it Don Johnson that was with him in that show or?
No. Arsenio Hall was on the first season. OK, that's right. That's right.
Yes, I do remember watching the show. Not I was not a loyal fan, but I did catch a few episodes.
There's 44 episodes. We need to watch it. Yeah, it was two or three seasons.
(53:24):
I really love the show, but I can't find it anywhere now. We'll have to find it.
We'll have to do some deep dive searching. Yeah. Martial Law, if you're out there on DVD, find us.
Give us a call. Let us know you're out there so we can buy you. You're looking it up. I'm looking up.
Jamie, pull that up. All right. Martial Law. It's on Sling TV. I don't know what that is.
(53:46):
It's some sort of streaming app. You probably have to pay for it. Yeah, you have to have a premium subscription.
But you could watch all two seasons. And that's back when they had more than 10 episodes a season.
Yeah, that's like 44 episodes in two seasons. So yeah, there you go.
Yeah, it was kind of the same vein as Jackie Chan movies.
(54:09):
There's always the outtakes at the end of the episode. Lots of action and fighting scenes. Yeah.
Oh, you can buy it on Amazon. Let's see. How much is on Amazon? DVD, $21.
So that's cheaper than a sling membership. You can have it here by Monday. Awesome.
Sorry, not this coming Monday, but the next Monday. Is it a complete series or just one season?
(54:30):
That is all 44 episodes. Oh, yeah. Sam Ahung, Arsenio Hall, Kelly Hu and Gretchen Egolf.
Marshall. Wow. Yeah, that unlocked a memory. Well, there's I remember watching Marshall Law,
but then there's also like a Don Johnson TV show. Like he tried to make a comeback in the late 90s.
(54:52):
I remember that. Are you talking about? Oh, right. It's like it's right there.
And he had the yellow Barracuda. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
His car was a major like sticking point. My dad watched that show. It was.
Nash Bridges. Nash Bridges. Yeah, I remember Nash Bridges and Marshall Law played like around the same time.
(55:18):
It was reruns or live or whatever. But yeah, Nash Bridges and Marshall Law, because I would watch Nash Bridges to watch Marshall Law.
I do remember the name Nash Bridges. Yeah, I may be misremembering,
but I think there could have been a crossover between Marshall Law and Walker Texas Ranger.
I that sounds really familiar. When you brought up Marshall Law, I thought of Walker Texas Ranger.
(55:42):
Yeah. And so, yeah, I think there was like some sort of crossover thing.
Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. They didn't do that. Right.
All right. So quickly, before we wrap up, I just wanted to talk about a couple of these.
And then the next time we do, Kevin will just bring it back up and go straight into it.
So we've got a conspiracy iceberg. If you're not familiar with the conspiracy iceberg, there's several iterations of them.
(56:06):
It started off with like the world, you know, and like the like John F. Kennedy's assassination.
And so it's like the higher you are up on the iceberg, the less conspiracy minded things there are.
The lower you are, the darker and kind of more like absurd it gets. Yeah.
I just wanted to touch on two things really quickly and then we'll wrap up this friends and this Reebok deal.
(56:32):
They kind of go hand in hand. There was a cut man that was in the UFC.
And whenever the Reebok deal happened, because the cut man had other sponsors, he basically was kicked out of the UFC,
basically forced to not participate because he had other sponsors.
And so whenever Dana White was asked about this because the cut man had basically it's cut man, Duran, his forget his name, something Duran.
(57:01):
But he basically had made an interview and was like, I thought we were friends like Dana knew that like signing this Reebok deal was going to cut me out of the UFC.
And so whenever they had made mention of it to Dana, he basically said we were never friends.
And so that's kind of the thing that just like quickly to touch on stuff like this.
The Reebok deal was a really bad deal for a lot of people in the UFC, not just that cut man in particular.
(57:26):
It basically gave a standardized uniform to the UFC and cut out all of their individual sponsors because beforehand you had the like the affliction shorts.
They were able to sell brand deals to whoever.
When they got the Reebok deal was like no other brands and you had to wear Reebok shoes, Reebok socks, Reebok shorts, Reebok, whatever.
(57:47):
And so that cut man Duran got cut out as a long as well as like fighters being able to pay themselves on their own.
And and so that comment of we were we were never really friends kind of like really struck a chord in the MMA community because it's just cold to begin with.
So that's a fun one.
Grease Gates a fun one.
(58:08):
There's a lot of cool things on here that we'll talk about the next time that we honestly I feel like we could just go through and choose one thing.
Yeah, let's do that.
Each section like a different section a week or there's so much on here.
Yeah.
So a fun one that we've talked about before and one that's right up at the top.
That's not really a kind of a conspiracy.
(58:31):
Just a fun one is Michael Bisping's eye.
Yeah.
So if you're unfamiliar with Michael Bisping, he was a fighter from the UK and he really, really made a run and he got poked in the eye.
And it was so bad that he lost that eye.
And so he didn't tell anybody in the UFC.
He just threw a glass eye in there and then came back to fight and wound up gaining the championship, gaining the belt with his glass eye.
(58:59):
So now he commentates.
He's on pretty much every week and one of the funnier times like behind the scenes, he's standing in the center and there's one guy here and one guy here.
And the producer is like, all right, everybody just talk to each other, look at each other.
And he pulled his eye to one side to look at one guy and then look at the other guy and he's like, like this, look at each other.
(59:21):
Right.
So, yeah, Michael Bisping's eye is kind of one of those things where, like, I don't think that they would have let him fight with a glass eye.
But I also think he just didn't tell anybody.
He was just like, yeah, I've got something wrong with my eye.
I'm good.
So fun stuff like that.
There's like, you know, it's just a little behind the scenes stuff that that makes sort of the UFC fun.
You've got kind of what we talked about with like Craig Jones and Gordon Ryan and the cuckold thing.
(59:47):
You've got same stuff with like Joe Rogan and Ian Gary's another one that comes up.
I like that Whitey Bulgers on here.
I also like the spitter swallow is right next to Jenna Jameson.
Are you guys familiar with street beefs?
I've heard of street beefs.
When you have a chance this week, Kevin, just type in a YouTube street beefs.
(01:00:08):
There's this guy, his name is Scarface, and he basically has turned his backyard into like a place where people can come settle Internet beefs.
And so people like get into comment wars with each other and then they're like, let's just settle it at street beefs.
And so you've got so much fun to watch.
You've got like regular people.
You've got characters.
You've got guys that will come like fully dressed up in anime costumes.
(01:00:31):
You've got people that are dressed up like old thirties like and just people that really hate each other.
Women fighting each other just like it.
It's so funny.
I stumbled across it completely on accident.
And now I'm just like, what's going on with street beefs?
Yeah.
Check in with street beefs.
Thank you for joining us on this wonderful episode of Breakfast of Champions.
(01:00:53):
Kevin's got to get to work and have some customers in here floating and plunging and sauna-ing and doing all that fun stuff.
I'll send this list to both of you guys and you guys send me what you want to talk about.
And then we'll do some like pre-production work on this next time.
So that way we can get into it.
There's a lot of things in here I want to explore.
I've got two videos too that is not this exact list but a similar list that are two hours long each.
(01:01:20):
So lately I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos on 1.25 speed and I've been getting through things a lot quicker and it's super noticeable.
I do audiobooks at one and a half speed, especially when I'm doing like 55 hour fantasy novels.
One and a half speed is the way to go.
It is the way to go for sure.
If you need anything from Kevin, please come to Fort Worth Float Company.
(01:01:43):
You've got sensory deprivation tanks.
You've got cold plunge.
You've got sauna.
And Kevin's just an all around nice guy to talk to and to know in Fort Worth.
So come see him at Fort Worth Float Company and take advantage of his services.
And adding a new service to it, I'm still testing it out.
It's a device called Brain Tap which kind of has lights in your eyes and ears and it's brain waves for a lot of different functions.
(01:02:08):
So expect that to come soon.
Excellent. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
So it's always a good time.
You've got to find my brain to tap it though.
It's always a good time coming to Fort Worth Float Company and hanging out with our third co-host Kevin.
We appreciate having him and all these fun things that we've tried today.
It's just been so good that we're just running out of time and just not even thinking about time.
(01:02:30):
Have you guys gotten any calls from Gene lately?
No, we haven't heard from Gene.
I think he got picked up again.
I haven't either, but I saw on Instagram yesterday something about him being at Burning Man.
Probably going to be an update about that soon.
Oh, that seems like a very Gene thing.
Is he there to just police the event?
Who knows?
Speaking of Burning Man, so the Tesla Cybertruck.
(01:02:54):
There's one in my neighborhood and I found out what house it lives at.
Oh, yeah.
I was driving home from getting my daughter from school yesterday.
We're driving down the road and this fucking Tesla Cybertruck peels out of a driveway like going way too fast out of a driveway.
I thought he was going to hit us stop right before he hit the street.
(01:03:16):
But when I look, the entire garage that it came out of was like completely chrome.
It was like classic Fairmount like historic house with the garage.
But the garage doors open and it was all chrome inside.
So I don't know if it was like spray paint or tin foil or insulation or what.
(01:03:38):
But yeah, the Cybertruck came out of like a chrome loom of a garage.
That sounds so Fairmount.
Yeah.

I'm also doing a thing called the jab on Instagram.
I go live once a day, usually in the evenings and also post it immediately after on TikTok.
(01:04:03):
So Kevin and I are actually probably going to be getting some old south soon.
We should maybe go live.
Yeah, let's do that.
All right. Thank you, guys. Love you, guys.
Have a good rest of your week. Have a good rest of your day.
And we're going to come back to you live on Saturday with Riyadh season.
Noche UFC and Kevin may be joining us.
(01:04:24):
All right. So we'll have a fun live podcast this coming Saturday.
And you guys take care. Have a good week.
And we'll see you next time.
Bye.
