Season 1 Episode 20 - Allie Floyd!

Champs—sorry for the delay! We had some technical difficulties behind the scenes. This episode was up for a few hours this morning, but we finished the edit, and we're back up!

Allie is Rene's wife, an ardent supporter of his creative endeavors and a great appreciator of breakfast foods. We discuss our favorite cereals while reviewing Oops! All Berries and the new Frosted Flakes with Marshmallows.

Allie has an uncanny ability to read vibes and personalities, so make sure to tune in to her picks for UFC 307! We talk about the upcoming card, and she gives her snap decision on who will win. Place your bets!

We have been teasing this episode for a while, but since Parker was unable to join us, we sadly did not get to the scrapple taste test. That just means Allie will return for a part two!

As always, thank you for listening! Give us a holler at [phone] or [e-mail].

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
You're in big trouble though, pal. I eat pieces of shit like me for breakfast.

(00:08):
Do you eat pieces of shit for breakfast?
No.

(00:41):
One, rolling. Good evening slash good morning and welcome to Breakfast of Champions Season 1 Episode 20.
Clearly this is not Parker, nor is it Kevin, our third co-host.

(01:02):
We are joined this evening slash this morning by my lovely bride.
Hi. Hi. Her name is Allie. She's been on a jab before, so if you've seen that jab, that one was quite the giggle fast.
It was the most watched jab. True. It's the most watched jab and also it's the jab that I just decided to not know how to speak English.

(01:31):
I was just saying really random things. I make you nervous.
That's true. Test your mic one more time.
Testing. You might need to hold it.
I might need to hold it or just talk louder? Talk louder. That's much better.
So this is kind of a pseudo emergency last minute throwing together podcast this week because Parker has had some job situations going on where he's working a new schedule and kind of getting used to that.

(02:04):
And so we originally had plans to pod yesterday evening and the day before and it's just been kind of falling through the cracks.
So I thought what better way to save the day than have my wife come on and we've been teasing it.
We're not going to do Scrapple this episode because I figured Parker would want to get in on that.

(02:25):
She doesn't like it.
But we're going to have a fun one. We're going to talk a little bit about our personal relationship story.
We're going to talk about the upcoming UFC 307 fight and get at least picks so that way you can bet on her picks and make some money.
Don't bet on my picks. Although, maybe.

(02:46):
Maybe. You're good at the March Madness.
That was a cat. Cool. Thanks for that cat.
If you can see right here off the top, we've got a show sponsor. They are technically not the sponsor.
We just love Aliment. We've had some family friends, friends of the family that we've been dog sitting, house sitting for.

(03:17):
And we discovered these through doing that. And we just can't get enough of them.
They are sort of like the, what are those things called? Liquid IV? They're kind of like a liquid IV situation where it's an electrolyte drink mix that you mix into water.
They do have some premixed cans so you don't have to do all the work.
But if you're unfamiliar with Aliment, the reason that it says stay salty is because these beverages are very, very salty.

(03:45):
And a lot of times growing up we heard that salt was bad for us and that we should limit our salt intake and that whole thing.
But really, salt, the proper salt, you know, the Mediterranean sea salt, the pink Himalayan sea salt, and all of the organic salts are actually really, really good for you.

(04:08):
They definitely help with hydration and recovery. And so if you're a combat athlete out there and you're looking to try something new, you're tired of the sweet stuff, cross on over to the salty side, brother.
Aliment is very good. So I emailed them this week and I was like, hey, I've got a podcast. And two days later they sent me some swag.

(04:31):
So thank you very much, Aliment. We appreciate you giving us some stuff. We've got these 12 variety sticks here.
And the flavors, citrus salt, raspberry salt, orange salt, and watermelon salt.
There are no sugar, very low on carbs, 10 or 5 calories depending on flavor.

(04:52):
These are for, I think it's like the ones for like the just regular water bottles. And then these are like the bigger, bigger boys.
Let's see what they sent us. This is the one I've gotten before that has like chocolate in it.
Oh, interesting. So this is a simpler pack. So yeah, this one has chocolate salt, raw unflavored salt, raspberry salt, grapefruit, watermelon, orange.

(05:24):
This mango chili is actually good. Mango chili. Okay. So they've got plenty of flavors for you to try.
Mix it in with your water, get hydrated and taste saltiness instead of sweetness. It's a very cool way to break up your hydration game.
If you don't like the taste of plain water, like many people are age and you're just used to throw in like liquid IV or we like stir around these parts.

(05:49):
Sometimes that's not great for you and you need to switch it up and these are great alternative for that.
So thank you very much, Alma, for sending us a little care package of flavors. What's your favorite flavor?
Raspberry and watermelon. And not just for combat sports. I mean, I'm a mom and they keep me hydrated.

(06:11):
And I don't know, I have a lot of I work all day and I talk on the phone all day and I have self diagnosed pots.
I'm pretty sure I have it. And these, I don't get headaches because I get chronic headaches.

(06:32):
And so if I drink these like two or three a day, I don't get headaches and I don't feel tired and they help a lot.
So each one of these packets has a thousand milligrams of sodium, 200 milligrams of potassium and 60 milligrams of magnesium.
So you're getting some good stuff with those things. I haven't tried the chocolate. It says enjoy hot. Oh, I don't know about that either.

(07:00):
I'm a big watermelon salt guy. That's the one I typically go for whatever I can. So I got kind of tricked into it.
I was feeling not so great one day and you're like, try it. It'll make you feel better. And then I taste it and I'm like, this is pretty good.
So that's usually how it goes around here. I don't trust Allie and then I eventually come around. If it's her idea, then it's the no go.

(07:27):
So this week here at the Floyd household, for those of you that don't know us personally, we are huge cereal lovers here.
Cinnamon Toast Ranch rules everything around me. So I typically have a huge box of that probably once a month.
But there are just times randomly where we need sweet treats in the evenings.

(07:49):
And when you say randomly, you mean every night. Just let's keep it real.
I go on these weird waves of like where I'll have like Boston baked beans every night for like two months.
And I went through a hot tamales phase and a licorice phase.
And part of my like, I guess OCD is like the comforting every night doing the same thing.

(08:15):
But there are times where cereal is our jam. And the other night Allie was in need of a sweet treat.
And so I went over to the Walmart or no, I went over to the H&B because earlier in the day, I had gone to the Walmart in town
and they have completely different cereals than the Walmart over here in Hudson Oaks. So small town, you know, that goes.

(08:37):
Ten minutes apart.
And I had some crazy, crazy cereals there that I was sending pictures of to Allie just like, oh, look at this, look at this.
And by the end of the day, I'd given her the food herpes and she wanted cereal. So what's H&B?
That's what we call it, by the way, food herpes. That's what everybody calls it.
That's not what everybody calls it.

(08:59):
We didn't invent it. We saw it on the line.
On what? On the line online.
Okay. These make me feel like I'm talking so slow. Is it because I can hear myself?
Yeah. There's a slight like 0.005 second delay. And so you're hearing yourself in your head and then like a split second later, you're hearing yourself.

(09:23):
All right. I don't normally talk this slow. Just so everybody knows. Sound like Selena Gomez.
So back to the story. Allie wanted cereal and there's this thing that I do where it's like my love language.
I don't mind like going out and getting things or like I just if somebody wants something, that's kind of how I show them that I love them.

(09:47):
I'll go get it for them. So I went out and I got two cereals because we couldn't really decide.
She wanted something fruity, but also something marshmallow-y. And so the ones that we decided to get were OOPSAL berries and frosted flakes with marshmallows.
OOPSAL berries being like a nostalgic standby and then the frosted flakes with marshmallows being a new cereal to try.

(10:10):
How did you like those cereals?
I OOPSAL berries is just nostalgic. I don't I'm not like, ooh, but I gotta say the frosted flakes with marshmallows was top notch.
Nice. I had a bowl of each and that's it. And the box is gone. So we have children.

(10:34):
Yeah, no, yeah, obviously. But the OOPSAL berries and me, I eat a lot of it.
The berries immediately transported me to my childhood.
Tastes like they haven't changed the recipe much since we were kids.
Still kind of has that greasy, oily aftertaste of the Captain Crunch.

(10:57):
But it does not cut your mouth up. It's very, very much a safe cereal.
Captain Crunch cuts my shit up.
But so does OOPSAL berries and OOPSAL berries reminds me of Berry Berry Kicks, which is my sister's jam.
In fact, she found a box recently, but I can't find it anywhere. They like did away with it.

(11:20):
But that is one that does not cut your mouth. The kicks are the Berry Berry Kicks, but anything with like a texture.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on the frosted flakes with marshmallows. I did not appreciate that cereal.
It was not for me. Why? I don't know. I really don't know.

(11:42):
I think you're just being contrarian. No, the other thing that what's the milk that's in the fridge right now?
Is it like 2% organic? It tastes like skin. It's really watery. I don't buy skin.
I know you don't, but that's why I asked. The frosted flakes with marshmallows, I think I was.
Wait, do you think they put skin in the 2%? Maybe. Like they're fucking with us? Yeah, it's very watery.

(12:09):
So they're going to call H&B tomorrow. I mean, give them a shot. Give it a shot.
Tell me that doesn't taste like some skin milk to you.
But the other thing that I did where may have been my misstep is that I had the OOPSAL berries first.
I didn't get new milk. Oh, no, that's a rookie mistake.
So I just poured the frosted flakes with marshmallows in on top and then added a little bit more milk.

(12:32):
That's a shame because I don't feel like your review has integrity now.
It was a lazy review. Yeah. But I did like the OOPSAL berries. It was, like I said, very nostalgic for me.
So top five serves for you, Searls. It doesn't have to be that.
This is the thing with the art podcast is we're going to harden fast with the rules. It doesn't have to be five.

(12:56):
Just maybe there's some out there that you really love.
I mean, obviously, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'm not going to lie that Kelsey Mix was pretty good.
It was good. The Quaker O's, which I think Parker also likes.
Jordan. Jordan. The one that brought it to the top.
Shout out Jordan.

(13:22):
Who also didn't know what standing was. I cannot.
I feel like I need to talk to Jordan personally and understand where he was when we were all growing.
We're all the same age. I'm younger. But where were you when Eminem, did he see Eight Mile?

(13:46):
I don't know. I didn't ask. Well, that's the next question. We should find out live. We should call him.
Hey, have you ever seen Eight Mile? Do you know who Mackay Phifernes?
Yeah, that was wild. I can't get over it. I feel like he's fucking with you.
The other thing was, so Elijah enjoys our laughs from time to time.

(14:08):
And so there's Elijah thinks I'm hilarious. Yes, he does.
He also finds Jordan hilarious.
But what I was saying is we have some classic inside jokes with Elijah, Jordan and myself.
At one point, Jordan was not very familiar with Drake's catalog.

(14:29):
It was around the time that What a Time Could Be Alive came out.
And so the Drake fever between Elijah and I was at an all time high.
And so when I was talking to Jordan, I just feel like I can't believe you don't know about Drake.
And so I just kept on like pounding, pounding, pounding, pounding Drake down this very line.
Wait, did he?

(14:52):
Anyways, I kept on saying Drake music to listen to. And then eventually it was like Drake knows what's up.
So like that's a classic line. That's a classic one.
And the one I think of all the time that I don't remember the full story is the schnoz.
The schnoz story. Schnocker. That's what it was.

(15:13):
He meant to say schnoz, but a schnocker. Yeah.
So Jordan's a funny guy. He is very funny.
He's one of my best friends and he's he's pure of heart and his his hilarity is doesn't come from a very like he doesn't try very hard to be funny.
He's just just very naturally funny.
Anyways, so this.
Cereal though. Okay, go on.

(15:35):
Yeah. So this afternoon, Elijah, his grandmother recently passed away.
Rest in peace, grandma.
And so I knew that, you know, usually whenever your grandma or when someone passes away, you're not you're just kind of in a weird space.
And I wanted to kind of make him smile.
I screencapped that conversation from Jordan this morning and just we just laughed.

(15:57):
He's like, I love that man. He's so funny.
Yeah. So this morning at eight o'clock as I was getting my kids ready to bed, I got a message from Jordan.
So when when after this happened, he said he's looking up.
Oh, you just sprayed some more water.

(16:19):
Oh, thank you.
Oh, I'm a fucking chef.
Our kitten just turned on the kitchen sink.
Awesome. What is I feel like she's going to do it again now that she knows how to do it.
Anyway, he sends me a screen cap of like him looking up what the definition of to stand someone is.
And he was like, what did this happen? And I was like, when Eminem wrote the song.

(16:43):
No, you said like when the song and he was like, oh, yeah, the song and you said Eminem.
And that's when I was like, this can't be real.
It's not really, you know, good times.
Back to serious. OK.
Cinnamon toast crunch. Definitely cinnamon toast crunch.
Definitely Quaker O's.
Yeah.

(17:05):
I would say Froot Loops is up there for me.
Froosh Loops. Yeah. Thanks, Jordan.
I don't usually like things with marshmallows because I'm a texture.
Like I have some weird sensory or issues, so I don't like Lucky Charms because I don't like the marshmallows and how they feel in my mouth.

(17:30):
But you like Frosted Flakes.
But the marshmallows in the Frosted Flakes were different. OK.
So I'm not putting that on my top five, but yeah, I don't.
I definitely I do love Captain Crunch.
My mom didn't let us have these cereals when we were growing up.
They were forbidden or bid in MTV and cereal.

(17:55):
No, specifically Madonna and cereal.
Madonna was the devil.
Shout out the cereal. Shout out, mom.
My mom would be absolutely against it.
Like a virgin. Yeah.
No, absolutely disgusting.
Yeah, I love Captain Crunch. I love the Laker O's, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

(18:17):
I don't know. I don't love a cereal.
And it depends on whether I've partaken because I do fucking love cereal.
Yeah. You guys know. You know what I'm talking about.
If you know, you know. If you know, you know.
Did your sister and you ever get into a fight over cereals?
I can't. I have no context.

(18:38):
I like Honey Smacks. Oh.
That's a good one.
No, my sister and I fought about many things with cereal.
You guys were democratic about the cereal.
Cereal was not one of them because it wasn't an option.
Oh, that's right. You just said that.
My dad would buy us like fun cereals or fun things.
Like if anybody remembers Twister, like the fruit juice Twister,

(19:03):
we were just talking about that the other day because it is like probably 95 percent sugar.
But he loved Twister and Little Debbie's.
I mean, if you ask Fina Rank my top five, like Little Debbie's or Tasty Cakes.
Yeah. Different.
You got to start your own. I got to start my own.
Yeah. Start your own.

(19:24):
Talk about the treats at Wawa.
Wawa is a treat in itself.
Anyway.
Do you have any nostalgic memories of like whenever you were younger involving cereal?
Was there any funny stories or cereal?
Not cereal, but breakfast.
I mean, not a funny story, but my dad makes the absolute best cream chip beef you've ever had in your life.

(19:48):
Like I have a shit on a shingle.
Yeah. Anybody doesn't make it with ground beef.
It's dried beef, which I can't find here in Texas.
No shout out to Texas.
And Scrapple. I mean, you can't find that really here either.
I have it frozen from when my mom brought it to me.

(20:09):
I've seen Scrapple in the stores, but it's from like Michigan and I don't trust it.
I don't trust Michigan.
No, but my dad's cream chip beef is really a solid memory.
He made that probably every weekend that we were there.
Yeah.
Wonderful.
Well, we're going to move on to the next segment just because I figure we should probably maybe not take so much time this evening with this episode because I got to get to fill too.

(20:41):
So I was just thinking about that.
We can take as much time as we want.
I have a lot to say.
Isn't this about violence too?
Are you supposed to ask me about violence?
Yes, that's...
I got a lot of rage.
Yeah, I know.
We start with the breakfast.
All right. Okay, got it.
So every guest that we've had on we give them lightning round questions to get to better know them before we kind of get into the meat and potatoes of the interview.

(21:09):
So these are questions we've asked every single one of our guests.
I'm a guest, not a cohost tonight.
You're a guest?
I love that. Okay, go ahead. Hit me.
Yeah. So right off the bat, what did you have for breakfast today?
Nothing.
It's that my pants.
Again, if you know, you know, I had an Elani new for breakfast.

(21:33):
200 milligrams of pure caffeine.
What is your typical day to day breakfast routine?
I love a organic Greek yogurt with some granola.
That's it. I'm a big fan.
I also will make a smoothie from time to time, get everything in there like chock full of like chia seeds and hemp hearts and collagen.

(22:01):
It's good for the skin.
If it's not a smoothie, if it's not that, I really love a McDonald's.
I don't know, we went from that to that.
I really love a McDonald's sausage egg McMuffin.
You also enjoy overnight oats from time to time?
I love overnight oats. HUB has one that's already made.

(22:22):
It's not hard to make overnight oats, but I'd rather not.
But they have a really good one. They have a blueberry and a strawberry.
Or my husband's favorite place.
I love Cracker Barrel a lot.
Their breakfast is just kids.
I recently heard two comedians talking about Cracker Barrel and they said if they didn't have the country store, they would have been out of business a long time ago.

(22:49):
No, not true.
They said you told somebody about breakfast, but they never actually had breakfast.
That's not accurate.
And also their chicken and dumplings, not breakfast, but pretty good.
And the cupcake, I got to say.
I might have a soft spot, but that's my...
If we went out to breakfast, I would love to have Cracker Barrel. I do like Waffle House, but my day-to-day is probably either nothing, which is not good, because I tell you to eat breakfast all the time.

(23:16):
Or it's yogurt or smoothie.
I have two philiprees and a Dr. Pepper every one.
That's not breakfast.
It's me going.
Time for the meditums?
If you could build the perfect breakfast sandwich, what would it consist of? Please be as detailed as possible.

(23:37):
I want a really good...
I like a biscuit.
Okay, listen.
We're talking about Waffle House.
Let me tell you, Waffle House has the absolute best breakfast sandwiches that you can buy pre-made.
I really like the turkey sausage, white cheddar, and cheese on an English muffin.

(24:02):
Delicious.
Sizzlies.
It's called a sizzly.
But I've also had a Scrapple Egg and Cheese.
Again, I'll have to make Scrapple for you and Parker, because that's magnificent.
But yeah, I would get a sizzly from Lava any day. It's my perfect breakfast sandwich.
So you don't have to build it. It's already been built.
It's already been built.
You build it, they will come.

(24:24):
And I came.
Relationship with Lava for you to have that.
You might have touched on it already, but what is your favorite breakfast guilty pleasure?
You always kind of give me the face whenever we go through the video.
I don't want to pick my friend.
I don't know what.
I pick my friend.
Yeah, I don't...

(24:47):
Guilty pleasure, though? I don't feel guilty about it.
Yeah, Mom has shameful people.
I'm not. I'm not ashamed of any of my choices.
Oh, I forgot. A bagel.
A really good bagel, as I would say previously.
A really good bagel with cream cheese.
Perfect.
Especially an East Coast bagel, because I don't know if you all know, it's the water.

(25:13):
Yeah, guilty pleasure breakfast.
I don't know, probably like a toaster strudel is delicious, but that's disgusting.
Or sometimes we point people in the direction of like cold pizza or cold Chinese food,
something that you typically don't eat for breakfast that you might...
Pumpkin pie.
Oh, that's a great one.
That's my guilty pleasure breakfast because my mom would always say like, it's fine, because there's nutrients in it.

(25:40):
The day after Thanksgiving, nobody's cooking a great breakfast.
You're just like, you get it where you're fit in.
Pumpkin pie for breakfast.
That's a great answer. Good one.
Oh, thanks.
You might have already answered this, but favorite fast food breakfast?
Yeah, I mean, you can call Wawa fast food. It's not fast food.
It is made lovingly for you, but probably McDonald's. I love McDonald's.

(26:07):
And again, you may have already answered this, but favorite breakfast restaurant.
So we talk about like IHOP Waffle House or maybe a local mom and pop spot.
I like a pop spot too.
Yeah.
Like any diner. Like I love a diner.
I mean, but yeah, Cracker Girls.

(26:30):
You're missing your favorite breakfast restaurant of all time.
Twenties.
There you go.
Yeah. Twenties is the OG. My, should I talk? Should I explain it?
Yeah.
Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.
So I...
It's called Twenties. No more information.
Scoot past it. Scoot past it.

(26:51):
I am from two different states.
So I was born in Maryland, grew up in Delaware,
but my dad maintained his residence in Maryland.
So pretty much split between both the states.
Twenties is in Galena, Maryland, where I grew up.
And it's run by a family, always has been.

(27:14):
It's a very small building and they have the most fucking amazing food you've ever had in your life.
My dad took us there consistently.
My entire family, whether it was on my mom's side or my dad's side,
we all go to Twenties and they have not just amazing breakfast,
they have amazing every meal.
Their cheesesteaks are good. Their subs are good.

(27:36):
Their egg salad sandwiches are good.
But their breakfast is amazing.
And in fact, the last time I...
Maybe not the last time I went to Twenties,
but my sister and I went to my grandfather's funeral and we decided, you know,
after the funeral, we need some comfort food.
And so we went and got an egg salad sandwich.
And the owner, Alice, rest in peace.

(27:59):
She said, well, your grandfather always loved our pancakes.
This is on the house.
So it's a very family friendly, like you can have a tab there.
Like that's what Twenties is.
So yeah, their breakfast is amazing.
Twenties has always been good to my family.
So we hold them in very high regard.

(28:20):
They love every member of my family that lives on the East Coast that's been there.
I know them by name, know them by order, as always shown love to our family.
So thank you Twenties for always being good to us.
Next question. Is turkey bacon trash or delicious?

(28:44):
I'm not going to say it's trash, but if I had to, if like I had a choice,
I'm going to choose real bacon.
Although I just said I do love the turkey sausage.
But turkey bacon is like the texture.
The consistency is like rubber.
It's almost like a dog treat.
It's like a bacon strip.

(29:06):
Same time. You'll find that.
And I believe I know the answer to this because we've already kind of touched on it.
Excuse me. Is oatmeal peasant food?
No, I fucking love oatmeal.
And you come from royalty.
So that's what my mom says.
The next question we've adapted.
First it was what's your favorite John Blomby and Dan movie.

(29:29):
But obviously that's Bloodsport.
So we have.
Yeah, that's my favorite.
We have adapted this question to what is your favorite action movie?
So, oh, I know what it is.
I love all of the Bourne movies.
Is that what you're going to say?

(29:50):
I love Bourne Identity, the whole franchise.
But I also love like old school.
I love The Fugitive.
Real good.
And I love.
What else do I love?
The only thing I was going to say about the Bourne movies in particular is that if you ever want to capture my wife's attention,

(30:13):
because she does have the ADD and she does have a hard time kind of sitting in one spot.
If you were to throw on Bourne Identity, she would just sit there the entire time.
I would.
Probably so.
Write a little bit.
Write a list.
What do you do when you're fat?
I don't.
Okay.
Talk to your friends.
Also, you're missing one.

(30:35):
Batman.
Oh, yeah.
You do love the Batman.
Fucking Batman.
Only Christian Bale Batman.
No, you look like the Christian Nolan Batman.
You know the Ra's al Ghul storyline.
I will go down forever.
That's not the end of the sentence.
Hey, move.
I will not.

(30:56):
I will.
Click that.
I will.
You will go down forever.
Say Batman is the single greatest superhero ever.
Okay.
He's not.
He doesn't have special powers.
That's true.
Bruce Wayne is a real person.

(31:19):
He's a millionaire.
Billionaire.
Billionaire.
But he's a real person.
He doesn't have any like powers that any of us could not have.
He's not flying or.
Correct.
Shooting people with lasers out of his head.
Right.
He's got pretty badass gadgets though.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah.
Morgan Freeman has given them out.

(31:40):
I can't.
We have a contract.
Right.
And the same.
The same materials.
What I don't like, I know we're getting off on a tangent.
What I don't like about those movies is that we're supposed to forget that Maggie Gyllenhaal
and Katie Holmes aren't the same person.
That is insulting to my intelligence.
A lot of comic book movies do that trope where you had Terrence Howard in one movie and then

(32:06):
Don Gille in the next movie.
They're not the same.
Right.
They're not the same at all.
Also Anne Hathaway's Catwoman did not.
Or who was it?
Gilles?
Anthony Edwards?
That's Anthony Anderson?
No.
And Terrence Howard?
They are very different.
The guy that plays in the Marvel movies is Thor Hammer.

(32:27):
He's got the little mustache.
Younger guy.
What has Don Gille?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Not Michael B. Jordan.
Not Michael B. Jordan.
The other one.
The other one that flies.
The other one?
Ayo.
No, the other guy in the movies that is also an attractive young black man is what I'm

(32:51):
saying.
Not that they look alike.
They don't.
Hold on a second.
What commercial was Michael B. Jordan in?
All of them?
No, no, no.
Oh, David Yermann.
That was the one.
Who plays Iron Patriot?
Yeah, he's in the new movie.
Yes, I know.

(33:12):
Don Gille is the one that I'm talking about.
Okay.
So.
Is Ocean's Eleven considered an action movie?
No.
More of a heist.
That's a comedy.
It's a good comedy.
That's a great comedy.
Oh, is Maverick considered an action movie?
Sure, why not?
No punching in there.
All right.

(33:33):
So, yeah.
Yeah, so, Bourne Identity or Bourne franchise, Batman, and then definitely Maverick.
If you've never seen Maverick, they should give it a try, right?
They should give it a try.
Belle Gibson before the...

(33:54):
Very good.
Before it's based comments.
Okay.
You've never fought, but you have like professionally or...
I would call it professionally.
No.
Okay.
You've never fought, but what I was going to say is you did participate a lot in sports
while you were younger and you did some training with field hockey and that sort of thing.

(34:19):
And so this question is more injury related.
What was the worst injury that while you were playing field hockey when you were in high school?
Oh my God.
Many.
I was just talking to my sister about this the other day because we both played field
hockey for the same high school years apart.
Field hockey is brutal.
That's what I'm asking.

(34:41):
In Delaware, it is a women's sport.
It is historically a male sport, but I played it all through high school.
I even played it before high school.
My sister played.
We were the same number.
But the ball is small, but it's very hard.
It's rock hard.
So you have to wear...

(35:02):
Hey.
Hey.
Wait.
But you have to wear shin guards.
You have to wear a mouth guard.
Our goalies are fully protected, but I got hit in my shins even with a shin guard.
I legit feel like I have dents in my shin still.
My sister will say the same thing.

(35:24):
I watched girls when the ball would pop get knocked out by these balls.
Little CTA.
Yeah, little CT from field hockey.
It's a brutal sport.
It's not exciting to watch.
It's very fun to play, but it is very intense.
The hockey sticks that you guys use, those are pretty hefty and wooden.

(35:45):
They're wooden.
They're basically like wooden clubs.
They are like wooden...
Sorry about our kitten.
It's like a wooden thick piece of wood, almost like an ice hockey stick.
But it's a thick piece of wood.
And you don't swing it like a golf club.
You have to have extreme upper body strength to...

(36:08):
You have to keep your arms straight.
You have to keep your arms straight and push the ball against the field to your teammate.
And a lot of people now play on AstroTurf, which makes things a lot faster and a lot easier.
My sister and I played on a field that had many a divot, many a hole, not even, not all grass.

(36:32):
And so it required extreme upper body strength.
You had to be aware of your surroundings.
I was going to say so aware of your surroundings.
That's it.
I swear.
When we're watching UFC, what do you think is the best way that you've seen to finish a fight?
I know you're not a huge fan of submissions.

(36:54):
How do you like to see a fight end?
I like a good, like legit knockout, although they scare me.
Like if that was my son, I would be terrified.
Like seeing someone laid out like that and when they don't get up right away.
Some of them will seem to be pretty scared.
Yeah, I don't like that.
I'm like, yeah, get up.

(37:16):
I always think like, I don't know if this is just like a female thing.
Like I always just think of like if I'm the wife in the audience or if I'm this guy's kid, I'm like running into the octagon.
Like get the fuck up.
I like a good, a legit knockout.
I don't like a submission.
I feel like it's a pussy move to just like hold someone down long enough to choke them out.

(37:41):
Like anybody, not anybody can do that, but like if you have the upper body strength against another person, like anybody can choke someone out and they're done.
Like you can't withstand like not breathing.
Yeah, I like the ones where they like, it's also scary.
I like the ones where they lift them all the way up and they slam them because I'm like, you're done.

(38:06):
But I don't like what I don't like is I know the refs have a job and they like can't call it too soon because then it's a whole thing.
But when they do get knocked out and then excuse me, and then they still are punching away at like what looks like a dead body.
I'm like, this cannot be good for your brain.

(38:27):
Don't do that last two or three shots before they can slide in and give you a real stuff.
You know, the person's knocked out.
You're just trying to seal the deal.
And there's too much over the past couple of years.
We've seen a few fighters show a little bit more restrained sportsmanship whenever it comes to that sort of thing.
But yeah, whenever they're clearly knocked out and just because the ref hasn't said stop or hasn't pulled you off of them, those last two or three free shots to the head.

(38:52):
Other than her Dean, he's not fucking around.
You knock somebody out, you're out there or needs the man.
Oh, my goodness.
Did you ever play fighting games?
What was your favorite fighting arcade game?
Video game?
I don't play video games.
You did play Smash Brothers for a little while.
Yeah, but like I just push a bunch of buttons and hope it gets me somewhere.

(39:15):
Like, I remember playing Mario when I was little, but that's it.
I have a feeling I know the answer to this question, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
Were you a fan of professional wrestling growing up?
Fuck no.
Did you ever have any sort of interest in wrestling or like, did you have a crush on a wrestler or?
No.
Oh, OK.

(39:36):
I'm just wondering.
No, I'm acutely aware of like who Paul Cogan is and The Rock and John Cena.
Yeah.
I'm aware of who these people are because of pop culture, but like I literally no offense to these big wrestling, including one of my best friends, Maxine, and her husband love wrestling.

(39:57):
But like, well, I think maybe he does.
I don't know.
But I won't put that on her.
But I put that on me, Ricky.
No, that's a good one, too.
But I just think it's the dumbest thing in the world.
And I don't understand like how people are that into it, knowing that it's a hundred percent fake.
And to hear someone say, like, too fake, I'm like, OK, all right.

(40:21):
So I just wrapped up the Netflix documentary series called Mr. McMahon today.
If you haven't checked that out, if you have no interest in wrestling, I recommended it to Ali even today after I finish it.
I know she's been doing it for years now, but I think it's really interesting that she's been doing it for years now.

(40:43):
And I think it's really interesting to see what she's doing, knowing full well how she feels about wrestling, because the same production team that did Tiger King also did this one.
And I find it really, really fascinating that they it's kind of like that Malcolm Gladwell tipping point thing where you were like at the right place at the right time.
this braggadocious storytelling that kind of leads up to this climax that's

(41:11):
happening in real time at the end with all of the lawsuits and so you find out
some of the people in wrestling were just terrible god-awful people. Isn't that
what you find out in everything? Music, movies, everything? Never meet your peers.
Thoughts on trash-talking while fighting? Are there any rules when it comes to
that? Sportsmanship or respect? Did they come into play at all? No. I think it's

(41:35):
hilarious when they whisper in each other's ears. Like I thought the Conor
McGregor fight when like he broke his leg and he was like, your wife's in my
DMs! That was really good. Really good. The drama of it. I think that's
that's kind of why a lot of people like wrestling is because while the outcomes

(41:56):
are predetermined it's like the storyline and the baby face versus the
heel. Dustin Poirier obviously being a baby face of the company and you know
Conor McGregor being the ultimate heel. To be in, I mean how does your body not
go into shock when your legs snapped in half? Enough for you to call Joe Rogan

(42:18):
down to your level just so you can keep on insulting somebody that you just lost.
Are we going to talk about Joe Rogan? What do you want to talk about? In a minute. I think that the thing I like about UFC
versus wrestling and maybe I'm naive is that I think that's real. Like I don't
think that that's predetermined that Conor, I mean it's real because he broke

(42:39):
his leg. I don't think it's predetermined that Conor McGregor is
gonna talk shit about Dustin's wife. Correct. I think that's very emotional.
The UFC took the WWE to the next level in the fact of they kind of allow
them to be as flamboyant as professional wrestlers and build up their brand and

(43:00):
kind of have these storylines but you never know who is gonna knock out who
or how the fight's gonna play out. On the flip side, Sean Strickland and like Colby
Covington cannot stand these people but at the same time I wonder
is this real? Is this an act? Are you really this chauvinistic and disgusting

(43:27):
and toxic? We broke that down on the podcast. Colby Covington is 100%
playing a character he was going to be cut from the UFC because his fight
style was called boring. He is boring. He's a wrestler so obviously what you're
talking about as far as like laying on somebody for five minutes at a time and
then trying to either choke them out or get that decision. The story goes he

(43:48):
was told by someone in the UFC that they weren't gonna renew his contract and he
needed to do something to make his fights a little bit more exciting and so
the character of Colby Covington was born out of the necessity to make up for
the fact that he's at quote-unquote boring fight. Sean Strickland is the real deal.
That dude has mental problems. He's got fucking issues. He has mental problems and his toxicity like his

(44:11):
toxic masculinity and his attitude towards women and his attitude about
like social issues and everything that I'm not looking to Sean Strickland to
like who are you voting for? I can't wait to know. I'm not but at the same time
I'm like god disgusting. Also what does this have to do with beating people up?

(44:35):
It has nothing to do with it other than like maybe someone hit you in your head
so many times that now you're fucking stupid. Yeah any favorite movie show TV
show or anime training montages? The one that I kind of point to is always
Rocky classic training montages but is there one in particular that you love?

(45:01):
The other one that I kind of point to is John Wick whenever he's
getting his weapons he goes and sees the Samael Yeh. I have one. Yeah go for it.
You're gonna love it. You're gonna hate it. You know in the town when an athletic is
yeah fucking what it's gratuitous. Don't hate it. Where he works out. Yeah he's doing the fucking pull ups.

(45:27):
Cause he just had sex with a crack. Right but that's like the thing is like him as a bank robber
having a workout montage is not for anyone but us women. He goes to the laundry mat and there's like all of his metrics.
Right and it just blows my mind because it's like they just were trying so hard

(45:48):
to be like how can we get him shirtless? We'll just do this. Dedicated to his training montages.
I mean that was the best that was the most fit Ben Affleck has ever looked.
As a unabashedly straight male with a staunch record of heterosexuality I can also agree with you.
Yeah it's a good it's wild. This gentleman was cut the fuck up and was you know made a great character in that movie obviously.

(46:17):
Just someone that is a likable anti-hero. Oh 100% you want him to get away with the crime.
Yeah let's see here two more questions and then we move on. Okay. What is or what would be your walkout song?

(46:39):
Um
I
think it's look it you don't know me my favorite rapper of all time is Tupac.
Um in fact just every just big fan huge fan. Huge. Huge. Would get thug life on my stomach too if it was um appropriate.

(47:06):
Um I don't know I feel like it could be a Tupac song um yeah uh or DMX another good choice.
Um X gonna give it to you that's really fucking hard. Um the crowd and that too. Yeah oh yeah.

(47:28):
Yeah that's a good one. Fucking lit. That's a really good one. Um obviously I'm limited now to
so many rap songs because of or hip hop whatever uh because of our the diddy um because he's
literally like talking or emoting in every single song. Um he has his hands in every song.

(47:52):
Literally and figuratively. So Tupac is the safest bet um or DMX rest of these two both.
And does anybody in the UFC uh currently have one of your favorite walkout songs?
Uh is there somebody that you um. I don't remember. What does tie to a Basel walkout?

(48:14):
Uh it's the most trillion thing. No it usually comes out to a thousand miles by Vanessa Marl.
That's funny. It has to be hard AF to match you or it has to be hilarious.
Um do you remember the time that we watched uh what's that guy's name? Mike Perry and uh he

(48:35):
wanted to come out to the Halo video game theme song but they accidentally played Halo by Beyonce.
Oh my god yeah that's so funny. And he went with it he was like what the fuck is this?
And then he just started singing he's like I'm in Halo. Yeah like when anybody does 90s early
2000s rapper hip hop I'm like pumped up for them. Yeah well thank you for uh indulging the

(48:59):
lightning round questions. We've got a chance to get to know you a little bit better and so
now we can move on to some of the violence that you're asking.
You and I uh we we love the Contender series. Uh we've previously spoke about this on the jab but
uh some of the things that you personally don't enjoy about watching the UFC is the video package,

(49:24):
the walkout, the 20 layers of clothing, the dapping up all of your coaches, like the 20
to 30 minutes uh build up in between fights whereas Contender series uh you have got six
fights they come out typically ready to go uh there's not so much of a hubbub there's no
walkout music it's just two guys getting in there trying to fight for a contract. So yeah um last

(49:50):
night was week eight of Dana White's Contender series. If you uh watched any of that uh you will
have known that all of the winners got contracts last night so it was a very happy positive great
uh episode. It was one of those stereotypical episodes where uh the people that were there

(50:13):
were really there to um showcase what they got get their contract and then just move on. There
was no drama there was no weird stoppages uh but the one that you and I saw last night that I kind
of wanted to touch on is because we've been talking about the gentleman so much as uh Taurus Vinny.
The reason that I wanted to bring him up is because uh we've been kind of giving him a hard time

(50:36):
uh this this uh series this season on uh Breakfast of Champions because this season he's uh already
uh won once. Uh-huh. Uh he won uh and Dana on on that episode. Won twice did you know? Well last
year he was on as well. Okay. So he was on last year and he won uh didn't impress Dana. Dana said

(51:01):
uh go get go get a few more fights and come back. Taurus Vinny didn't fight at all and then came
back a year later won his fight. Dana wasn't impressed. He's the only one on that episode
that did not get a contract even though he won. And so Dana said I told you to go get more fights
you only got this one not impressed uh and passed on him for a second time. So uh for a lot of

(51:30):
people they were like how do you win twice and not get that contract um but I was one of the few
people that kind of saw where Dana was coming from. You've got an older guy that's 5'8 that's
in the division where you're fighting people that are almost 100% taller than you in almost every
single fight that you're going to be in. Sure. Um he also is a wrestler so we talked about like the

(51:52):
boring fights or whatever. Um last night Taurus Vinny comes out uh he's fighting Abdullah El-Aurami
who is what was he like? 7? He was like 6 foot. Or 6 feet. He was 6 feet. Okay yeah he was 6
feet even so not as tall as the guy that they put in front of him last time and um he was

(52:15):
in front of him last time and uh he you heard my frustration from the very beginning uh Taurus.
Yeah but what's the problem if he he absolutely like decimated that guy. He's like so much shorter
than him but kept him on the ground because he's stronger. I don't understand why that's not good

(52:36):
enough. I think I think he I said it and then about 10 seconds later Paul Felder said it and then
about 10 seconds after that he finally it finally clicked that he has been so dominant in the past
two fights had he used one elbow to cut one eyebrow open he would have gotten his contract

(52:58):
because yeah damages the single uh heaviest weight metric on scoring and so last night what we saw
was he definitely uh dominated his opponent in every way but what was crazy and kind of like
serendipitous is that he had actually got his opponent down right in front of Dana it was like

(53:21):
prime viewing slot for Dana and then he finally let his hands go to the point where the ref had
to call a TKO in the first round. So great great uh finish for Taurus Finney. He did get his contract
uh we did get some more background into uh he actually was picked to be on the ultimate
fighter two seasons ago uh but got injured and didn't get a chance to compete so it's almost as

(53:46):
if it's almost as if like he's been told no so many times that Dana had no choice but to tell
him yes at this point so shot on him uh the other couple of fights so just quickly uh just read off
uh Jacobi Smith uh he defeated Christians at walk and round two we watched that fight as well.

(54:08):
Jacobi Smith like fucked that guy up. Yeah uh Jacobi Smith is very highly touted uh little
personal connection to us our daughter attends Oklahoma State University she's Calaway Go folks
so Jacobi Smith uh wrestled there uh became an all-american there and so uh it was cool to see

(54:31):
kind of that personal tie uh to just our area in general uh he came very highly spoken of by
Dana Cormier and his video package um I know he does but you know someone that's already in the
company obviously that has his own MMA show on ESPN who commentates fights who won the belt several

(54:54):
times is in the UFC Hall of Fame I mean that's a pretty good letter of recommendation I don't care
if you know I wouldn't want to thank you you're so cold-hearted so Jacobi Smith uh he really
decimated Chris at Savoie uh like we said Christian Savoie in round two uh Tordes Finney got his TKO
TKO in round one David Martina has defeated Xavier Franklin uh by decision uh that was one of those

(55:21):
fights where even though it did go to decision David Martinez uh stood in the pocket and basically
threw everything he added Xavier Franklin they're just smaller guys they don't have that knockout
um Alberto Montes defeated Carlos Calderon by submission Anaconda choke in the round two
that was a really high level fast-paced grappling fight and if you don't like submissions and you

(55:45):
don't like grappling fights I would say that would be the fight to watch because both of them were
wrestlers or grapplers but they both were going super super fast and they were both throwing up
submissions left and right so it wasn't a hold them down it was like once I get you down I'm
going to try to choke you out and these guys were like alligator rolling each other and like they

(56:06):
had their necks all cranked and they were alligator rolling each other uh lastly we had uh Dier
Nugazi versus Bartosz Szewik uh Dier uh Dier Nugazi is a Kazakh fighter uh he won by a KO head kick
in round two one thing that I saw you didn't get a chance to see that but whoever fights Dier

(56:32):
Nugazi next the gentleman has a tick he's got a while he's fighting he's constantly rubbing his
own eye so well when you're fighting him there's probably a I would say two seconds where if you
timed it just right you would poke him in his eye with his own finger because I'll show you after

(56:54):
we get off the podcast but I can't wait the man can't go five to seven seconds without
ticking with his eye and then rubbing that tick and so at first I thought oh did he get hit is
he trying to like shake it out no he just has a tick and so the timing of him was very odd because

(57:16):
he'd go he'd go to throw but then he'd stop and rub his eye for a few seconds so it was like he
couldn't really like chain together like long combinations of more than two or three punches
at a time which he doesn't need to because he's a light heavyweight so but in my mind
the next person that he fights I'm going for that timing the second that he goes to reach that eye

(57:39):
on the jab right in that eye and his own fingers are going to poke him in his eye yeah so whoever
fights him next I've got your your homework for you heard it here first you heard it here first
um you look a little sleepy I'm not sleepy I said you look a little sleepy I just had a
pumpkin ale nice um this coming weekend we have uh UFC 307 which is sadly a pay-per-view

(58:08):
uh okay whoa allegedly whatever Dana can suck it because I'm not a huge fan of Dana White
you know who I am a huge fan of please don't touch on this Joe Rugen which I know some of you may be

(58:29):
surprised if you know me and are actually watching this um I love Joe Rugen we have a lot of the same
thoughts same ideas um I'm just not a multi-millionaire podcaster but um yeah Joe
Rogen's the man and I will watch any fight that he calls uh when he's not calling the fight

(58:50):
Rene will tell you I'm like yeah subpar so yes we we are a Joe Rogen household uh I was a very
early adopter of the Joe Rogen experience uh probably because I have OCBM I complete this uh
I would say up until maybe like two or three years ago I had listened to every single Joe Rogen
experience episode but it's almost like a it's almost like a guilty pleasure to admit that to

(59:18):
some people because I think people have this preconceived notion of Joe Rogen because they
probably don't listen to Joe Rogen they just see like clips or um whatever I mean MSNBC or CNN
yeah whatever they're posting about him um but he's actually definitely not a Republican um

(59:43):
definitely not a supporter of Trump I'm sure those news stations have made that seem like he is
he's so middle of the road he's so logical and he asks really great great questions of his
guests and I've learned a lot from his um from his podcast and so when we say we're fans of Joe

(01:00:07):
Rogen that doesn't mean that we're like raging you know right wingers we're definitely not
just love Joe Rogan all right as if Joe Rogan didn't need another plug and billions of what's
up uh so uh I would start at the bottom of the card and we have like I said it is USC 307

(01:00:30):
happening Saturday October 5th 9 p.m central time it's definitely gonna be this guy we haven't
started yet oh I'm sorry uh this event will be held at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City Utah so
anytime you're fighting in Salt Lake or anytime you're fighting in Denver you have to account for
elevation so if these fighters uh don't get in their hyperbaric chambers or if they don't come

(01:00:56):
early to Utah to acclimate to elevation this will play a role in the fight first uh opening up the
card we have a welterweight bout between court McGee and Tim Means you've already picked court
McGee yeah all right uh last time we picked fights I was kind of giving a quick glance at the tattoos

(01:01:17):
to see if there's anything occult or uh masonry I don't see anything just some really bad tattoo
work on Tim the stomach tattoo is not not it so court McGee and Tim Means are both veterans of
the UFC uh we've got a 22 and 13 record for court McGee and a 33 and 16 record for Tim Means clearly
they've been through some wars uh not too different as far as their reach is concerned uh Ali's going

(01:01:41):
with court McGee and I am going to agree with her on that because I think Tim Means uh Means well
that court McGee is going to take him out um next up we've got a women's strong weight belt between
two very big names in the UFC we've got Carla Esparza and Tisha Pennington uh Tisha Pennington

(01:02:04):
is Raquel Pennington's wife and uh Raquel Pennington is the co-main event she's the belt holder
so uh a wife and a wife fighting on the same card isn't that kind of cute I'm good it is cute uh we
love love Tisha Pennington's definitely going with this one Tisha Pennington okay they're both coming
off losses they're both 5-1 uh Carla Esparza has a little bit of a reach advantage uh but uh yeah

(01:02:33):
looking pretty good so um I've been coming over here this grappling thing right here because I'm
learning new stuff every day by looking at this website here because it shows you their takedown
average accuracy and then their takedown offense yeah um well Carla Esparza is known as a really
great wrestler yeah uh we've got Tisha Pennington with her takedown offense being 65% so uh more than

(01:02:59):
half the time you're not going to be able to get her down so um so we're going to go with Tisha
Pennington on this to uh go ahead and win it for her boo on the co-main event uh we've got a light
heavyweight belt after that between Ryan Spann and Ovens St. Prue it's definitely going to be Ovens

(01:03:20):
you think Ovens St. Prue is going to take it? okay everybody just trust my cosmic uh intuition
check out the branding there that's wild yeah um cool I don't have a problem with that Ovens St.
Prue is coming off of win Ryan Spann's coming off a loss uh they are both relatively uh comparable

(01:03:42):
when it comes to height and uh reach uh so yeah let's go with Ovens St. Prue from Haiti which is
a neighboring country to the American Republic which is where we met yeah sure is let's see here
moving right along so that was the early pre-limbs that's going to be ESPN plus then moving right
into the pre-limbs we've got Caesar Almeida versus Aijor Forteria Botarilla I gotta go

(01:04:10):
Aijor but I'm gonna say it's gonna be close I'm saying like it's gonna be a decision okay you're
gonna call a decision on this and you're going with Aijor look at this huge Christ piece he's
got on his chest don't like that looks like they're both coming off losses so they both have
something to prove uh neither of them has a significant reach advantage in any form or

(01:04:35):
fashion Caesar Almeida looks like he's going to be the fresher fighter only has the one lost so
yeah I don't know with Aijor yeah it's gonna be close though all right it's gonna be close
go to a decision oh my god these two all right lightweight about between Austin Hubbard's and
Alexander Hernandez yeah yeah listen it's gonna be Austin okay there you go with Austin Hubbard

(01:05:02):
looks like again no significant height or reach they're both within a week uh an inch of each
other it also looks like uh Alexander Hernandez may be um coming from a different promotion
because I don't see his last fight here doesn't seem like uh he's a familiar name to me so let's
give Austin Hubbard the nudge and the wink all right we've got a women's show about between

(01:05:27):
Marina Rodriguez and Aizmin Lucendo it's gonna be Marina Marina Rodriguez is one of my favorite
fighters I agree with you there uh I just don't see yet I got I got some mean Lucendo bringing
any sort of trouble to Marina Rodriguez's okay now this is gonna be a fun one um we've got

(01:05:48):
Stephen Wonderboy Thompson versus Joaquin Buckley nah he hasn't filled it uh in a while so it's
gonna be you think Joaquin Buckley is gonna take this one that really pains me because Joaquin Buckley
is I would say probably my I don't want to say least favorite fighter in the UFC but he is

(01:06:09):
probably to me the most annoying fighter in the UFC especially in this weight class I like this guy
I've seen him fight before but like I just think he's gonna yeah yeah Joaquin Buckley is coming
off a win uh he's got a few great wins uh he has and makes no moans about the fact that he's got a

(01:06:30):
tremendous uh ground game he's already admitted that he's going to take Stephen Wonderboy Thompson
down and wrestle him Stephen Wonderboy Thompson uh utilizes a karate stance uh very sideways very
springy always jumping on his feet so uh it'll be interesting to see how Joaquin can get him down
because I yeah yeah he is uh but I think the thing that sets Stephen Wonderboy Thompson apart from a

(01:06:57):
lot of people is that his father was uh into karate and this is a legacy thing for him he uh
was born into combat sports whereas some of these other people have relatively new to getting in
there so while he's old I still think that experience is on his side and I still think that maybe
some technique is on his side as far as being kind of springy and off to the side uh think about it

(01:07:19):
this way if you and I are fighting Joaquin Buckley we're standing like this you've got all of this to
hit whereas if I'm Stephen Wonderboy Thompson and I'm standing like this I take away 50% of my body
not that Joaquin Buckley wants to fight anyway like that all right and the main card kicking it off

(01:07:39):
we've got our favorite hometown hero Kevin Holland Kevin trailblazer Holland he's going up against a
scary guy and Roman deletes it I mean I'm gonna go Kevin Holland but I really I'm not sure
I mean it's the last fight it's not good yeah it's not good he came off a win but I'm just saying

(01:08:01):
the last time I saw him fight it was not good all right uh yeah I got it I'm never gonna bet
against Kevin Holland just because he's the g from Fort Worth uh Roman deletes it like I said is a
scary guy but I think you know it's one of those things where uh Kevin Holland uh he has that I
don't give a fuck attitude and I think that Roma deletes a takes this super seriously and it's one

(01:08:25):
of those guys that's like I bring shame to my country Kevin Holland's just fun to watch because
he's a g uh women's bantamweight belt we have all right we have olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison
versus Kytlyn Vieira uh Kytlyn is no joke she's got great Brazilian jiu-jitsu she is a veteran in

(01:08:46):
the UFC uh Kayla Harrison is uh much talked about prospect uh this will be I think her second or
third fight in the UFC like I said she already has an olympic gold uh in judo and so uh we're
gonna go with Katelyn I'm sorry Kayla, Kayla Harrison let's be clear this is just vibes

(01:09:06):
I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about when I see these people the vibes you nailed the
last one you automatically knew who's gonna win the last one and that one's pretty clear cut on
that they're already talking about who her next fight is going to be she's also the backup fighter
between Julianne Pena and Raquel Pennington because if anything happens there she's going to step in
it's going to be a home site for this one okay Jose Aldo versus Mario Bautista, Jose Aldo obviously

(01:09:32):
legend of the game he's been involved in some of the greatest fights of all time Mario Bautista is a
up-and-coming Mexican-American uh from the states uh we're going to go with experience and badassery
between Jose Aldo and Bautista so Jose I want Raquel to win because her wife is also playing

(01:09:53):
fighting whatever no they play Julianne Pena I don't think I like her we don't I don't I
I'm choosing Raquel Pennington is a real life person whereas Julianne Pena is very much like
I think that she'd love to be an influencer as well isn't she the one that was on Joe and uh on

(01:10:17):
the experience and then he asked her what was in the product that she was talking and she was like
I don't really know and I was like that's not a good answer you are correct also I saw today at
media day she brought her louis bag and set it on the table and then adjusted it several times and
she got up to leave she made sure that her louis belt was in the picture so I don't think she's

(01:10:40):
trying to angle for a sponsorship from a high end fashion couture but it's just not going to happen
because she is not that one maybe just be cool on your own also this fight is 11 years in the
making both of these ladies were on ultimate fighter together uh Julianne Pena cuddled up and
cozied up to Raquel Pennington and tried to make it about like let's do our nails together and

(01:11:03):
rocky was like I'll be cool with you but I'm here to like fight so we can't be friends and so she
really kind of took it personal she wants to be on a reality show well she was on a reality show I
think she just would like to continue to be on one um I'm gonna go with rocky on this one uh I
think Julianne Pena is like I said uh I got last week's fight totally wrong uh Hinnato Moekano

(01:11:25):
completely totally ruined everything I said against Benoit Saint-August and you know all that so
made up at Alex Pena versus Khalil Raoj see I have a lot of feelings well let's hear them allegations
don't like those yeah and allegations go into who I picked to win I don't know if anybody knows

(01:11:50):
that but we also have allegations also allegations about like some Scientology type bullshit so
napping people from training sessions I gotta tell you these allegations make me more upset um
but

(01:12:11):
yeah how about us all lose lose just to knock each other out yeah double knockout that'd be great
I'm gonna go with Khalil oh wow okay I can't I can't I can't can't

(01:12:33):
I don't know what if these allegations to me are worse than these but like uh taking advantage of
women as an automatic like no for me um allegedly yeah nothing's ever been proven or there were no
police involved it was just more of a tiktok drama story grab yeah sure but and the person that that

(01:12:59):
lady was with this kind of debunked slash throwing some shade on the certain that's it that's it
everybody has their story listen we've seen a lot of things we've seen a lot of celebrity stories
where someone sounds crazy and then it turns out that like hello take the cat Williams uh

(01:13:22):
interview he's our oracle for 2024 and probably in that Shannon Sharp interview where people say
cat Williams is crazy not crazy everything's true so I don't know allegations aside I really would
love for him to lose okay I think you think that the UFC has been pushing him a little too much

(01:13:44):
lately too much saturation of the marketplace with Alex Poitani career I am over it um I was
thinking the same thing no there's two things here one we don't have Conor McGregor fighting in 2024
so all of these there's been two cards where we've been promised Conor McGregor UFC 300 and UFC 303

(01:14:06):
both of those times Conor McGregor has pulled out of the fight and Alex Prer has stepped in so he's
not the substitute for Conor McGregor that's my point is all of these uh you could say oh yeah he
had all of these numbers at those pay-per-view fights but half of the tickets were sold because
people because of Conor McGregor's fighting and so it's like he's almost adopted Conor's numbers for

(01:14:32):
the past two fights and I think the UFC thinks that we're like stupid enough to be like oh yeah
this is Conor um and now that Sean has lost uh if Alex Prer loses in my purview there is no face of
the UFC um because right now they're making on Sean and Alex and Sean just lost he's actually

(01:14:59):
Dustin's a better face than this guy yeah based on like ability and like beating Conor McGregor
in the height of his life so he doesn't have it honestly like as much as I dislike Conor McGregor
as a human being I'd much rather watch him fight yeah I would say probably Sean O'Malley is like

(01:15:23):
your a bigger face tomorrow he will be getting surgery on his leg room so he will be out there
at least the next six to eight months so that's why I say it's kind of a weird time and it's kind
of one of those things where like did he have the numbers or is Conor carrying those numbers
is this our savior is this the face of the UFC or is this uh you know one of those things where

(01:15:45):
it's like it's just because he's semi-good looking yeah that's what I mean I'm not saying for me I'm
just saying like it was not my day you know what I like um I do I do like Taito El-Asai he should
be the face of the UFC I'd watch it way more all right friend I did put on here uh either how we
met or a personal fight story do you want to do either one of those things or would you like to

(01:16:10):
call it a night um now that our daughter has made it her way here listen I'm gonna say call it a
night and also in my younger years was not afraid to throw down okay and in your younger years you

(01:16:34):
just texted me last week about a football game oh yeah I didn't actually alter keep but I made
some faces um no listen if anybody fucks with my family or my children I'm still prepared to throw
down but I I am a professional woman with a real job and and a life and I'm not about that life

(01:16:58):
