Speaker 2 (00:32):
Going to get some stuff what tomorrow morning?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Tonight ten pm through tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Correct, we're flying out tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
You're fine, I got it. He's been off for five days.
John William Alden the third working one day and then
going back to Cabo for seven or eight days.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Not be more checked down if I tried right now, No,
Comedian Alex Raymondo's picking us up at the house, taking
us off and off to his homeland. We go.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Obviously stoops is the leads to We'll get to it
in a second. But my top two stories have involved
LMPD and the UH and the groups around LMPD. The
first story is an amazing story about a couple in
the video from the from the police came out over
the weekend of them saving a little boy's life in
a house on fire. And it looks like a movie
(01:20):
or it looks like a TV show right where you're like,
does this really happen? Yes, there, it's at night, so
it's dark and they have their flashlights out, and the
whole house is filled with smoke and fire and they're
running around the house and they find this little boy.
They saved this little boy's life. That was the first story.
And then I don't know if you saw, which is awesome.
It's just an awesome story.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I mean, that's incredible. And again that's our first responders.
That's what they too. They run in and risk their
life without him thinking.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
So this year, by the past couple of years with LMPD,
we've seen an example after example after example after example.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well them in the fire department, Yeah, going after people
that are hanging off a bridge. So the second one
is speaking of the river. So this individual drove into
the river Saturday night. Did you not see this story?
Is crazy? Somebody he pulled up to the you know
(02:17):
that parking lot where they have his crab shack and
they have the Derby Festival thing whatever they call it
these days. So a barge captain witnessed it. This guy
rolls up in a red Geo Metro, gets out, talk
to some folks, and then gets back in his car
(02:38):
and drives into the water at a high rate of speed.
Divers found the car and they are still looking for
the individual. I mean, when the current's that strong, it
just goes there's no it's this. This individual will be found.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
The sneaking Deacon Greg gets you used to be on
the dive team with Jefferson County. I don't see. How
was this at night? Yes, you know, I don't think
it seems to me like it would be tough enough
to see in the waters of the Ohio River in
broad daylight without a cloud in the sky, let alone night.
(03:18):
So I guess they train and they know what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
But the barge captain said, the car went into the
river and then he saw the dome light, you know,
as it was floating until it went under. Oh my gosh,
which is a lot like another movie. And then these
folks have to get look those the river LMPD they
have the divers have to get in that current and
at night trying.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
To look for the person. Oh yes, I know they
got suits that you know, adjust for that, but all
the way, I don't know. I'm not a diver.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, So crazy weekend for LMPD. Uh. And of course
the lead story Stoops and Terry Miners forty years today
he's been on w A so the station on for
forty years, no terry Miners. So it seems like Stuops
has been a coach at UK for forty years with
everything that's happened. So is he out now or what
(04:11):
Terry Miners or no Snoopers?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh no, I walk up. It's moort a pop off
social media. Stoops is out? Turn on you all talk
about Stoops? Is he gone for sure? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, yeah, he's fired. He's let go and he's he's
worked out that they don't owe him the thirty seven
million dollars in six months.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, how do you do that?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Here was in sixty days. I'm sorry, sixty days, my bad?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
How do you do that?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
You negotiate because they're like, you know what, we've got
to make a move now, is there anything we can
do to guarantee you this money but not pay it
in the short amount of time that was initially guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
So he's not giving up the thirty seven million, he's
just not getting thirty seven million in sixty days. Correct.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Correct, he will get thirty seven million dollars not to
coach a football team. Now, they used to have rules
to wear it.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
No, who's in charge of a university Kentucky sports contracts? Now,
that's what we knew would do. Caliperi, caliperi. No matter what,
you can't get fired. It's a lifetime contract. How's that sound.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'll give Dwight credit. Dwight has no knowledge of sports ball,
none of the intricacies and any of that of sports ball.
But when they when Mitch Barnhardt gave him nine million dollars,
Dwight did say, that's it. Watch he'll be terrible from
now on. And basically he was mediocre and then terrible.
So you were right. I think, Mitch Barnhart, you can't
pay a single dude. He's not married. He has kids,
(05:37):
but they don't I don't know if they live in
Lexington or not. But he's he's single nine million dollars
a year. Oh, come on, and you're at a school
that really cares about the other sport more.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
John Ondden and John Anthony Venetti of the Sports Ball Enthusiasts,
let me ask you this question. Had Stoops now I
always had he's got a losing record, But had Stoops
won the University of Louisville University Kentucky name, would we
be singing a different song? Or was he going to
be gone since the season started?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I think if he would have beat Louisville and went
to a bowl they would have kept him. Yeah, because
they did. They finished five and seven.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
If he wins one more, Gamy's Bowl eligible, and if
he beats Brahm and U of L on their field
and gets Bowl eligible, I think they probably keep him.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Going back to the I don't know anything about sports ball.
It seems to me, though, to coach in the SEC,
you're basically isn't that pretty much NFL?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I mean, isn't that the they treated? They treated in
that sense?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
But maybe it's not because of NIL But in the past,
hasn't that been the toughest conference ever?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh? It still is. It's professional sports. When they added
Oklahoma and Texas. It's ridiculously asked. Another stupid question.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Okay, would it Behoove? A stupid question?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Stupid?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Let me ask us stop for University Kentucky to lead
the SEC and go to another conference.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
No, there's too much revenue. There's too much between all
the school there's too much money. So but here's what
blueheads UK fans are not thinking of. A coach that
wants to come to Kentucky is going to look at
they spent John, you can correct me because you're more
in the sports ball than I am. This past year,
did they not spend twenty two million dollars on the
(07:23):
basketball program? That was reported? I don't know if that
was confirmed, but that was reported. So why would I
go coach football in the SEC at a place that
spent If you spent twenty two million dollars on the
football program for players this year would have been a
lot different than what it was.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Who spends that? Though?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It is a name like because Kentucky fans I asked
this years ago, I said, I asked the question that
you asked fifteen years ago. I was like, you can't
win in football and it's too easy to win in basketball.
You don't really have any competition. When they were just
killing everybody in basketball, and I said, wouldn't it just
be easier to go to the ACC play Duke in
North Carolina and Syracuse every year? I mean, come on, dude.
(08:00):
But they all were like no. And I asked the question,
if you could go back in time and Rup left
and Bear Bryant stayed and they won six national titles
under Bear Bryant and became the football power, would you
trade that? And they're just so crazy about basketball, They're like, no,
why man, you have ku right? Football is king.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I gotta say though, And now being being an Indiana
fan that's having success, I know they haven't won a
title yet or anything, but like, it's fun to have
a good football team.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
If you're undefeated, inject real quick if you but think
about but think about what you're saying. If i U
is undefeated three fourths aways through, it's exciting in basketball,
in football, it's everything. They are the talk of college football.
If they're undefeated in a one seed in basketball, it's like,
(08:52):
oh yeah, Indiana's good too. And then you lose to
a sixteen seed like UNBC, and then you're just making
it squad to share.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's good, that's why because U NBCC they tend to
lean way too left for me.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
So Stoops is out. They'll pay his thirty seven million
bucks over whatever the time. And it was good of
Stoops to say, no, you know, I'll take my money
spread out over.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Very big of him to say, yeah, you can give
me my thirty seven million in ninety days in lieu
of the sixth Well, and very big of him.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
There is another I don't know if they have this
clause in their contract, but if they go work for
someone else, let's say he goes to work for Oklahoma
as a defensive coordinator. Brother, No, he's retired, tired forever.
So if he goes to work for Oklahoma for one
point two million dollars, then they can take it one
point two million away from what Kentucky owes them a year.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Well, I'd sit on my ass for until I got
the thirty seven million.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Look at him, what do you think he's gonna do
on his ass?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, it might be a twist or too involved too.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's sad because Stoops to me was was UK.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
He was UK football for sure, because they were mean.
They had some decent seasons that he was part of.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
How Mummy guy, Oh boy, what hell mummy.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Is coordinator Frankenstein and his offensive coordinator Dracula.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Okay, we're gonna go out and count four one is
how mummy All. I will say, take fifty cents out
only because only only because so Stoops is out. It
is a this the everyone will be crazy because there
(10:38):
are four hundred thousand UK fans in the city or
three hundred thousand, depending on who you ask. So it's
a huge, huge topic. But I thought, uh, I thought
everybody handled it pretty well. It wasn't nasty like the
old miss and Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
That is unprecedented though, like the way that Lane Kiffin
just gets up and leaves an eleven to one playoff
team that could win a national championship. Still, that's never
ever happened. It may never happen again.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I had bought into, oh, he's changed, he's settled down,
his family has really you know, matured him. It's he's
just and we all It takes a while for allmust
to figure out. It takes a while for Almus to
figure out. He's a good guy. And then he showed
you who he was.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I was so excited when the rumor mill had this
for the stoops Hire too. By the way, if you recall,
I think it was the Stoopsire. I'm almost positive. The
rumor was they were looking for the big tune of
Bill Parcells.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
At first, and they had it he was gonna take
the job.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Some kind of a talks going on.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yeah, he's gonna take the job. I mean, come on,
but had changed everything? No, but it had changed everything? Yeah,
you think it had changed everything. At the time that
college football started to do numbers that were just unprecedented,
the SEC network was coming into play. I mean, the
revenue for SEC network is like, it's over two billion
dollars that the schools just split up. They split that
(12:04):
money up, and then they get the bowl money, which
they split up. The NC Double A gets none of
that money.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
John, When will you find out where your Hoosiers go
for a bowl?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
They'll they'll play Ohio State this Saturday, and basically it's
a battle for the one seed. They're both one and
two for the Big Ten Championship game.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
But if they let's say, yeah, but let's say they
lose in a tight game to Ohio State, right, They'll
still be one and two.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Let me post on a question then for the stupid
guy that knows about sports, is are you that good?
Or is Ohio State following that much?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
They're both undefeated.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
If anybody's falling, it's they're the last two unbeatens and
they haven't faced each other yet.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Signetti at Indiana has done something unprecedented. He has taken
a basketball school with no football heritage whatsoever. At least
Kentucky's got a little bit from the fifties. Indiana has nothing,
and he's made them one of the best teams in
this year. I think it's one in one a with
Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
They'll get into the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Then oh my gosh, there's twelve teams.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
They're both going to be one and two, and I hope,
I hope it's a close game, because then that just
solidifies that they really are.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
The eight o'clock Saturday night, I.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
May have to watch that there's a cantina down there
that shows there's.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
A cantina in Cobo breaking news winter storm, winter storm
tonight at MP Avenue, kentug you out area, and there's
a cantina in Cabo.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Find out how that affects your weekend coming up at eleven,
there's a couple.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Uh so again that will be the story of who
and they want. Will Stein, former Trinity quarterback, former Louisville quarterback,
is now the hottest name in college athletics. He's the
offense coordinator at Oregon. He is Louisville through and through.
But they want to go after him as the UK
football coach. But from the point I made before, why
(14:02):
would a good football cage coach go to UK If
you're going to spend twenty million of minor NLI money
on basketball? Why would I go there? If they throw
that twenty two million dollars at football last year, this
team is different.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So the twenty two million has to come from donors though, right.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yes, yeah, that doesn't come Now there's a collective. There's
not a collective.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
There's a there's a lot of horse farms.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
There's a lot of bread, coal money and all that.
Damn oh horse farms. The only one that we never
remember the name for.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
His name is Marbles. Marbles and not good boy like right,
he's more of a pony Marbles.

I need that hoodie? How much is it?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I got you guys covered. I tried to actually one
on the way here, but I was you know what
you just did. You just did the equivalent of somebody
walking up to us in State Fair and going, hey,
give me a shirt. Now he didn't. I'm actually d's gone.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, thank you, thank you. I'm a large I'd like
to el I'm a media do I just look, he's
asked some dumb questions before. I mean, I think if
you have the dumbest questions ever on the radio, he's
probably five of the top ten. Of course all the time.
(23:35):
But he says, hey, my achilles is better. I'm going
to start training at your gym. I want to do
a professional fight at fifty nine years old.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
It would be a professional would just be my first
m fight.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Are the ticket sales and you're fighting that's a professional fight.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
No, no, no, no, it's not because I'm not getting
a purse.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
It's not happening. But Susan's not gonna let you. Susan's
not gonna let you.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Where does she work Frankfurt? And what does Frankfort have
to do? What's the office have to do to? Okay,
to fight? That's right, she's got.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
He's so upset. You should see his face. Upset.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Not a good idea for it, because he's fifty seven.
Now fifty nine would be when he fought.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
That's to us, As I said, we'll have to look
through our rollerdecks of fifty year old to see who
can imagine a thirty five year old or something. It
wouldn't have to be a sixty year old fifty nine
year old. Are you saying no or what? I'm being serious.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I'm not saying no to nothing. I'm saying we got
to look into it.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
You know what, Let's tie into one of our other topics.
We get ourselves one of these dog abusers. Oh, put
him in the ring with you.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
We can get behind that. We can all get behind that.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Okay, now I might be in. So now I might
be in.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Let's talk about future of fighting. Man. Thank you for
what you do in your organization, bringing fighting to Louisville,
and also quite frankly with area five oh two. Jim
giving a place to train for MMA, for boxing, for
self defense. Let's first talk about what it does for kids,
because you've got a homeschool program in there at your
(25:09):
own gym area of Fible two. And I got to
tell you, man, the confidence that martial arts and things
like this gives kids, it's really beneficial.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
To them, the confidence, the discipline, and you know, this
day and age, unfortunately it's crazy world. So the ability
to defend themselves is very important. And one of the
things people overlook too is I think just being around
such a good community because from a young age they're
around so many different people from all walks of life,
all parts of the world, all just good people coming
(25:41):
together to be better versions of themselves. And they grow
up around that, and I think that's one of the
most possible.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
And you truly believe that, and not by words, but
by deeds and actions, because you've got your own gym
area Fible two where you train mma, boxing, all kinds
of things. But at the same time, you welcome gyms
in there to train, You welcome other members of other
gyms to come in there and train. You're about the
sport You're you're about, Uh, that's your lifeblood, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Yeah, the at some point it was all about us,
but now I just see it's much bigger than that.
That all the gyms really are the same people, they're
just at different gyms. And my goal is to help
anybody we can kind of get to the next level.
If we're not competing against them, I want to see
them succeed.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Uh men, boys, teenagers are different than they used to be.
I think that your job is important because we have
wisified the uh United States, and we've tried and and
really I think that they have They've beaten down camaraderie,
they've beaten down being a boy, they've beaten about being
(26:46):
a man, they've beaten about being getting in the dirt
and being a boy. And and because they you know,
there was a war on Oh boys will be boys.
Stop putting all of us into one little group. And
I think that yours is important because, uh, you know,
our old U of L football coach used to say,
there's fake juice and real juice, and we need more
real juice. Somebody that's confident, a man standing on his
(27:07):
two feet.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, it's as real as it gets, you know, because
obviously we have people that compete at the highest level
fighting professional MMA ranked number one in the country boxing
international competition boxing level. But we also train young boys
and girls from six year years old.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Enough.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
One of the things that I'm the most proud of
is how many young ladies we have. Our girl power
in there is very strong. You're not gonna mess with
our little girls from six years old and amen, you know,
and it's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
My daughter wrestled for a little while. I just want
to make sure she knew how to throw the headlock.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah. Yeah. We have girls that wrestle, girls that do
jiu jitsu, girls that do boxing. Some of them do
all of it. It's amazing. All available aerial five OL two.
By the way, uh, Tony Thornton just chimed in and
said he'll fight me, but either a gigantic marine.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I'm not no, I want a gigantic He's got to
be something like we get a convicted dog abusier guy
and we put it in there and Dwight fights the
dog abuse and that gives you motivation, that gives you
the rocky whatever. And we get one of these guys
in there that's willing to play the bad guy role,
which he already is because he's a convicted dog refuser, right,
So that's the fight. If that doesn't happen, we cannot Look,
(28:15):
I have a stake in this, so you know, I'm
not wiping your saliva off your chin when you're in
the wheelchair, not doing it.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Let's talk about one of your fighters. First of all,
again this Saturday, Future of Fighting and the theme of
the fight. I love this, it's really cool. What's the
theme of the fight?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
That's a fight club. It's fof club Future Fighting Club.
The reason is the venue is a vacant building. It's
been vacant for fifteen years, right on the end of
four Street Live. It's the old office Max building. And
when Tony over here at four Street Live knew we
were looking for a venue for December, he said, what
about this place? It's been vacant for fifteen years. And
I was like, Oh, it's kind of like fight club,
you know, throw a cage in here. And then I
(28:55):
thought about it. I was like, oh, that's a pretty
cool theme. So the flyers are kind of fight club theme.
We like to do the themes with him, keep it
fun and interesting, and yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
You know what's weird is when you told me the
theme fight club for this fight. My brother actually trains
in your gym, fights in your gym. Yeah, he had
texted me earlier. The only rule of fight club is
no one talks about fight club. And then later that
night you sent me that and you said, look what
is going to be for the next fight. But in
that fight, one of your fighters out of area of
(29:25):
five O two gym is a guy by the name
of Blake Alvie. And boy, his family is so supportive
of this fighter, and they should be. He's a terrific
kidnet hell of a fighter. Is this going to be?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Is he on the card?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Is this his first professional fight because he's went pro?
What three weeks ago? Four weeks ago?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, he won the last fighting won was his last
amateur fight. He won the one hundred and forty five
pounds amateur title. This is his first professional fighters professional debut.
The original main event fell off the card, so he's
going to be bumped up to the main event and
he's got a tough opponent coming up from Tennessee, so
really excited for the tough challenge. But we know that
he's ready and this is the next step for him.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
On the way to the US and this will be
the first future of fight that I have to miss
and I'm bummed about it, but will be in celebrating
the anniversary out of town. But does the crowd example,
does the crowd affect the fighter that much? For example,
if if you're getting booed, as some fighters do, or
if some in Blake's case, the entire place is yelling
(30:28):
cheering for him, is that beneficial to the fighter. Is
all that blocked out once you get in the ring? Yep.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I think at a certain level you can block it out.
Maybe it's some of these newer guys that might affect them,
but I will you're on.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
If you're out your back, If you're on your back
and you got to get up, I think that helps.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Right when they're cheering you and the place is loud
like that, you do feel that energy, right, you can
say you feel that energy. But also these guys are
experienced enough when when they're in there three point thirty
into the third round, they're not listening to the crowd saying.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
No when so obviously you're you were a fighter too.
I think you're retired now. I know you're teaching classes
and all this when you lose a fight, do you
feel like you let down your corner? Do you feel
like you let down the family, the fans, whoever it
might be? Uh mentally, how does that weigh on you?
(31:18):
If all, I don't know, Yeah, yeah it does.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
You feel like you let down everybody, let down yourself
and everybody that put time into you. But it's important
to realize that that's just one battle in the war
and you got to move on to the next one.
Take take your time, uh you know, process it however,
and then move on to the next one. Future of
Fighting This Saturday, they get their kid involved Area five

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Let's get back to Blake Alvi, local boy, done really good,
just signed, just went pro. He's going to be the
main event this weekend, his first professional debut. Is his training?
Do you just training once you go professional? Does it
step up or has it been the same intense training
(32:50):
all along? What's he feeling right now? Because it's one
thing to fight as an amateur, but your first professional fight,
I'm sick to my stomach thinking about it.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yeah, he's he's stepped it up a little bit every
you know, every fight, and I think he's really in
a good spot now. He's got the best coaches, he's
got the best strength and conditioning, he trains different.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Spots, he's got the best recovery. He really has a.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Great team all around him, and he's at a good age,
a good spot mentally where he can really put everything
into it. He's a firefighter, so his schedule helps permit
for him to train a good amount. And I just
think it's the right time for him. He's got good
momentum going and he's going to get to the UFC.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
So jump on board.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Who has more success boxers or wrapplers? It is the
dangerous guy that really could do both.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Well, yeah, there's not many that just box now. Most
of the time it's a striker that does kickboxing boxing.
And yeah, it really depends on the level. It's it's
such a different game anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
R right, did you I'm going to screw this up,
but correct me? Did you or one of your fighters
or was somebody somebody wrapped their hands instead of rapping
they didn't have to wrap their hands before fighting, use
toilet paper? I remember what's his story on that? Yeah? Yeah,
so this is a long time ago. MMA has come
(34:05):
a long way since these days.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
And we were in the back wrapping hands, getting ready
for the fight, and I look over and there's a
guy and he obviously didn't have the best team, and
he was wrapping his hands with toilet paper, and I said,
what are you doing? He said, do you think this
will be okay? I said, well, what's your name? He
gave me his name. I don't remember at the time.
I said, okay, well you're not fighting my guy, so
I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I don't care what you do.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
You know, But was you remember a time when you
got in the ring for a fight and you thought
a man might have underestimated I'm in trouble here.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
The first couple fights, definitely, because I was one hundred
and twenty five pound fighter, and back then they didn't
have one hundred and twenty five pounds weight class. Thought
I fought at one thirty five, and it was almost
like every time it would be yeah, especially at that weight.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
You know.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
And I remember almost every time they asked him are
you ready, he'd say yeah, you look at me, and
they'd ask me, are you ready?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
And I'd look at that guy. I would be like,
I guess.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Twenty pounds of muscle is insane.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I was lazy as a wrestler in high school. I
weighed one hundred and thirty eight pounds. I shouldn't wrestle
one thirty quite frankly, I should have went down to
try to Wrestle one thirty.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Two easily wrest and Wrestler one forty five.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
So I could smoke Marlboroughs and eat pizza and do
whatever I wanted to do. Yeah, that's a big deal. Yeah.
