Conor McGregor & Jake Gyllenhaal

[0] Welcome, welcome, welcome to armchair expert.

[1] I'm Dak Shepard.

[2] I'm joined by Monica Padman.

[3] Hi.

[4] We have a rare occurrence.

[5] Occasionally we'll interview two people at the same time.

[6] It's pretty rare, but it happens.

[7] And it also marks back -to -back episodes where we were out on the ground somewhere else interviewing people.

[8] On the road.

[9] Out of our safety zone.

[10] Out of the attic.

[11] In this case, we were at a hotel in Austin, Texas.

[12] That's right.

[13] And it'll come up in the fact check.

[14] all we did while we were there.

[15] Yeah.

[16] But this is Jake Gyllenhaal and Connor McGregor.

[17] Jake is an Academy Award -nominated actor.

[18] And Connor McGregor is a multi -weight UFC champion entrepreneur.

[19] He's the only person to hold belts in two different weight classes, fascinating human being, and he's never done a podcast.

[20] Yes, this was his first podcast, which was super fun.

[21] Yes.

[22] I'm tempted to say as a caveat that my hope and aim for this episode was to be able to connect with Connor and get him to trust me. and explore some maybe more emotional things that are not readily discussed with him.

[23] So I guess I got a little self -conscious.

[24] I think as you're hearing it, you'll hear a broier side of me. Oh, interesting.

[25] And I don't know why I want to just flag that going in, but I hope people will give me a little benefit of the doubt and know that I'm trying to get somewhere.

[26] Yeah.

[27] Which I feel like we got.

[28] That's fair to say.

[29] Yeah.

[30] And of course, the reason they're together is they are in a reimagining or remake of one of my, All -time favorite movies.

[31] For people who heard the Jake Gyllenhaal episode last year, he just kind of as a throwaway mentioned, he was with Connor McGregor.

[32] And I was like, what the fuck are you doing with Connor McGregor?

[33] He's like, oh, we're remaking Roadhouse?

[34] And I went berserk if people remember.

[35] Roadhouse is my movie.

[36] I mean, top five, what a film.

[37] And this Roadhouse delivers holy fistfights and car chases and boat chases.

[38] I mean, it's action -packed.

[39] Full throttle.

[40] So Roadhouse is streaming this Thursday.

[41] March 21st on Prime Video.

[42] So you can check it up the day it comes out.

[43] You don't have to go anywhere.

[44] That's fun.

[45] So fucking pop some popcorn, put on a tight shirt, get some dumbbells.

[46] Get a drink going.

[47] Get several drinks going and enjoy Roadhouse.

[48] And then lastly, just want to let everyone know the Armchair Anonymous prompts for next month are tell us about a crazy cosplay experience.

[49] Tell us about your worst day ever.

[50] Tell us your best cautionary tale or tell us a crazy experience you had as a delivery.

[51] driver in any, any, many ways you could be a delivery driver.

[52] Please enjoy Jake Gyllenhaal, Yake Yenhaal, and Connor McGregor.

[53] He's an armchair expert.

[54] He's an armchair expert.

[55] You guys, it's so awesome that you're here.

[56] Hello.

[57] He was in Boston.

[58] Good to meet you, brother.

[59] I'm so happy to get to talk to you.

[60] Hi, I'm Monica.

[61] Very nice.

[62] You look so nice.

[63] Nice.

[64] I love the purple.

[65] This is Jake.

[66] I was shaving my left.

[67] We had Jake on 11 months ago, and it was a beautiful interview.

[68] It was so fun.

[69] I listened to it on the flight here.

[70] You did?

[71] Yeah, to reacquaint myself.

[72] It was so fun.

[73] The chairs aren't as nice, but you're great.

[74] And by the way, the row, I've been like, you know.

[75] Do you think of me now?

[76] I've trolled you on the row.

[77] I love it.

[78] I felt very flattered because after you visited us, you sent us both gifts, which was very sweet of you.

[79] You gotta send us something really nice.

[80] Yeah, Jake already sent us something nice.

[81] Jake sent us a present after we interviewed him last time.

[82] Do you like alcohol?

[83] I do.

[84] Boy, I used to like it.

[85] I'm not doing it.

[86] No, but you should have seen me do it when I did it.

[87] It was something to behold.

[88] Coming out with zero four stout.

[89] The zero zero thing is growing legs, isn't it?

[90] I too.

[91] You gotta be careful with the goggle.

[92] You gotta be careful with it.

[93] I'm an athlete, right?

[94] And I'm also an athlete that makes alcohol.

[95] Yes, yes.

[96] Kind of yin and yang.

[97] You don't put one with the other.

[98] So I've got to be careful where they, I have been partying like a rock star, probably like yourself back in the day, something to behold also.

[99] Sure, sure, sure.

[100] A real sight.

[101] But hey, it's Paddy's mom.

[102] They don't give a fuck also.

[103] But I know my limits as well and my boundaries and I'm coming to the finish of this.

[104] I've got this roadhouse promotional tour.

[105] I've got St. Patrick's Day.

[106] But I've got a fight on the horizon.

[107] I just want to fucking date.

[108] If they give me a date and I say, right, well, I can't mess.

[109] I'm in the best shape ever and then I'll have a party.

[110] I go heavy on it and then, you know, I kind of build it back up.

[111] but if I have a date, I won't do that.

[112] Yeah, you must reverse -engineer your life from these hard dates.

[113] But I got to tell you, we're competitors then, because I have a non -alcoholic beer.

[114] Have you, yeah?

[115] I do.

[116] Oh, wow, Daddy.

[117] So, what a memory, Jake.

[118] Wow.

[119] I'm going to tell you one of our taglines, and I feel like you're going to be jealous.

[120] What's it called, first of all, sorry?

[121] Ted Seegers.

[122] Ted Seagers.

[123] Good, strong name, right?

[124] What is it?

[125] A lager?

[126] Yes, yes.

[127] I have two lagers as well.

[128] I haven't released them.

[129] Oh, you, man. I own a brewery in Ireland.

[130] I know.

[131] I know all about you.

[132] I have a house lager that I made forged lager.

[133] It's a light, crispy beer, and it's very successful on -premise.

[134] I haven't bottled it or candied yet.

[135] There's so many lagers out there.

[136] You know, I'm looking at this whole thing, like I'm looking at a map.

[137] I've got the stout doing well.

[138] But I've actually got two lagers.

[139] With the same recipe, I added more hops into the crispy one and made a darker beer.

[140] So it's like a beer of Moretti or a Heinegan.

[141] I love it.

[142] I didn't think you and I would have anything that deeply in common, but we're like, back on the dial and it's paddy's there.

[143] Oh my God, I don't know.

[144] I have to draw the line there.

[145] You went heavy, just what, all day, every day?

[146] Yeah, and I love cocaine so much.

[147] It's just to smell so good.

[148] It really smells nice.

[149] You've got to be careful.

[150] We got a full -blown addict on our hands over here.

[151] But I just want to hit you with two.

[152] You're not fresh, man. You're not fresh.

[153] It looks like there's a comeback on the cards, man. I'm telling you.

[154] Oh, my God.

[155] I believe.

[156] Let's hang when I'm 70.

[157] But I just have two slogans I want to hit you with because I feel like they're going to really, really register.

[158] One is Ted Seeger's is the only logger I trust when I'm alone with my sister -in -law.

[159] Okay.

[160] The next one.

[161] is drive fast, fuck slow, Ted Seegers.

[162] Do you guys write that on the thing?

[163] Yeah, the poster's in the bar right now.

[164] Let me go back to the sister -in -law, so sister -in -law, not related.

[165] Your brother's wife is it?

[166] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[167] So there's two ways to go.

[168] Either you don't want to be...

[169] You don't want to be drunk around her because it can go either way.

[170] Maybe you'll look up with her.

[171] Maybe you'll kill her.

[172] Don't blame salt for what sugar done, you know?

[173] Don't blame alcohol for what cocaine done if you get me, you know?

[174] I don't know.

[175] It's 20 -24.

[176] You wouldn't know what to be going on.

[177] Who's that fault?

[178] No, anyway, man. I'd love a beer now, actually.

[179] I'd maybe some cocaine.

[180] Rob, get the mirrors up.

[181] Okay, how long have you guys been doing this?

[182] Jake's face?

[183] Matches my face.

[184] Wait, I do want to call out something that's really obvious about the two of you.

[185] And it's really wonderful.

[186] It's an incredible dynamic because I've already interviewed Jake, and I've watched you in a lot of interviews.

[187] Jake, you're very careful.

[188] You're kind of meticulous about what you say.

[189] You want to make sure that you're representing yourself correctly.

[190] It's a good way to do you agree or not?

[191] Yeah, deep tinker.

[192] I don't want to go forward unless you think that's true.

[193] I mean, thoughtful.

[194] I try at least feigning articulation.

[195] He's running at like 100 miles an hour.

[196] I'm in like a sort of second gear generally, and then you can get me into, you know.

[197] When we're together, I'm announcing, hey, everyone's a notorious Conan McGregor.

[198] Check out our new movie Brodhouse on Prime.

[199] And then Jake's like, I want something in front of my name.

[200] What was the name?

[201] He came up with anxious Jake Chilling -Holl.

[202] Oh, I want Anxist Jake Gillen Hall.

[203] Jittery Jake Gillen Hall.

[204] Jittery Jake.

[205] Oh.

[206] No, the thing about it is that, like, we didn't meet actually in person until he came on set.

[207] Oh, no. Yeah, because he was there maybe a week before.

[208] I was working a lot.

[209] We had choreography, but they were rehearsing somewhere else.

[210] We were shooting.

[211] And then when he came on set, it was like a crowd followed him.

[212] People were craning their necks when he walked on set.

[213] He's such an incredible energy when he walks in that, to me, all I want to do is, like, watch him.

[214] Watch the show.

[215] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[216] And so inevitably, when we're together, I'm just sort of like, we're doing interviews and people ask me a question.

[217] He answers, I'm like, that sounds good to me. That's fine.

[218] You just defer.

[219] It's a great pairing because you guys are on opposite sides of the spectrum in that regard.

[220] And then, of course, it then feeds into the movie, which is beautiful.

[221] It's like, you're very, very, no bravado, you have a regret about your past.

[222] You're kind of low -key.

[223] You don't even want to be doing the thing.

[224] And then you arrive, there's a tornado here as loud as fuck.

[225] It's the most wonderful asymmetry.

[226] Potential mega -business between myself and Jake Chin and all.

[227] We can do a lot of stuff, 100%.

[228] That first scene where he headbutts me, that was the first time we ever were on screen together.

[229] I remember that moment going like, what the fuck am I doing in a scene where Connor O 'Berger is about to headbut me?

[230] And then I had to remind myself that I'd been doing this for a while.

[231] That was the space I could hold with any headbutt me. You might not have felt it from me, right?

[232] Maybe I'm a better actor than I probably give myself credit.

[233] Yes.

[234] But I felt that for sure.

[235] You were as a true veteran, as good as it gets, as big as it gets, 75 films.

[236] I felt that as well.

[237] I didn't want to let you down.

[238] I didn't want to let anyone down.

[239] and think I was not doing my best, you know.

[240] So I put in the time I put it in for you.

[241] Yeah, but you said early on, he said, I'm a white belt in this.

[242] That was like the first conversation we had.

[243] That's a real martial arts way of looking at things, especially the mixed martial arts.

[244] You know, you look at a guy who's a specialist in boxing or kickboxing or some discipline.

[245] They have too much of an ego then to go and become a white belt again.

[246] You have got to become a white belt again.

[247] You've got to start from the ground up.

[248] I used the lessons I had learned in my martial arts game, studying and learning different crafts into the movie business.

[249] I'm a white belt coming into this, and I'm absolutely blessed and thankful and grateful and grateful lucky Irish SOB that I'm at the landing right next to this man and with director Doug Limeon, we're producer Joel and the team that was behind it.

[250] I just approach it with a novice mindset.

[251] I'm going to argue you weren't a white belt.

[252] Yes, I'm going to argue that too, actually.

[253] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll team up on him.

[254] He'll still win, but here we go.

[255] I would not gang up on him.

[256] You just probably want to.

[257] You want me, lady.

[258] You want me on your team.

[259] You want to stand by the exit, I think, at this point.

[260] You know, when I look at your career as a fighter, the most obvious comp is Muhammad Ali.

[261] As far as just showman, showman, showman, I'm almost even curious, would you rank yourself higher as a promoter than a fighter?

[262] And then is that a dicey question?

[263] I think you're one of the best promoters to ever live.

[264] I agree with that.

[265] And you're one of the best fighters to ever live, but I think you're literally tied with Ali as far as creating excitement and vitriol and passion.

[266] You're a fucking showman.

[267] And storyteller.

[268] I think above all things.

[269] I'm a damn good fight, I don't really, I'm great, to be honest with you.

[270] And, you know, my reckless nature.

[271] It's like the best attitude.

[272] My reckless nature at times.

[273] I've never been beaten.

[274] I've beat myself going in.

[275] I'll take that as a good compliment.

[276] Ali's the man. Ali began that showmanship element to the fight game.

[277] I get it, but for me, there's a lot more left in my game, and I look forward to getting back in the show night.

[278] I'm not trying to take anything away from you as a fighter.

[279] But I'm saying you actually will go down in history is probably tied as the best showman to do it.

[280] And I also think the transition for guys, The Rock, in WWE, into acting.

[281] It's like, they're already acting.

[282] They have a character.

[283] They have a persona.

[284] They have the confidence of getting up in front of a crowd and talking.

[285] You're at these press conferences.

[286] You've been practicing show business for a minute.

[287] Yeah, but not even practicing, my man. There's no act on.

[288] I am who I am in the given moment.

[289] If Jake is a different person to me, I'm going to be a different person to Jake.

[290] Yeah, yeah.

[291] You get me. And so some fighters, that's the way it is.

[292] Look at the parier fights.

[293] I knocked them out in the fours one, and then he comes back.

[294] and we're friendly, and then a few things get set after he gets the win back, and then it just changes again.

[295] It's not acting, it's just what it is.

[296] Well, you have facets to you.

[297] But I have, like it's all, for sure.

[298] Yeah, you're a dad.

[299] And the fight game has put that to the forefront in front of the world.

[300] For those made with our press conferences, 25 ,000 people are there for the press conferences.

[301] The very first one, the way the UFC press conferences are laid out, you sit on a table, and then the media asks you, you question, hello, Connor, how was training?

[302] In boxing, it's not the case.

[303] You walk in and you've got to say something.

[304] So I'm sitting up on the stage.

[305] I got to go up and say a big speech, and I fucking have nothing in my head, I don't know what to be saying, and I just roll with it.

[306] I want to go back to the first big press tour they put you on, I think, was for Aldo.

[307] Yeah, maybe where you went to eight cities.

[308] Yeah, and then he pulled down on me, man. Then I had to do it again.

[309] That first press tour, again, Jake and I can relate to this.

[310] We've been doing press tours for movies for 25 years.

[311] That would have helped me for sure.

[312] Well, that's what I'm curious.

[313] I wasn't dialed in yet.

[314] So on that first press tour where UFC's like, you're the guy.

[315] We're going to commit some actual capital to this.

[316] We're going to send you around the country and raise some fervor for this live event.

[317] which set records.

[318] Yeah, it was the first time I had ever done that.

[319] What was your learning curve on that?

[320] Like, I'm curious, you couldn't have started where I see you now, where you can go toe to toe with Mayweather and talk shit.

[321] Well, you know, I went against the pound for pound goat at that time.

[322] Jose Aldo, undefeated in 10 years, an absolute menace in the octagon.

[323] People thought he was going to run through me. I thought otherwise, I had confidence.

[324] At that time, he's a 28 -year -old man. I made him feel about 48.

[325] When he's saying, he's past his prime, all this thing.

[326] It was all just trying to get into his head.

[327] I didn't do it like even thinking I was going to do it.

[328] I believed it also.

[329] You are over the hill.

[330] You're at having too many wars.

[331] I was live at one of his fights against Chadmendis, so I ended up fighting.

[332] It was an absolute war.

[333] It's a crazy game to fight game.

[334] That promo and that world tour really set a precedent for the industry.

[335] We were still kind of fringe.

[336] Now I'm hearing that we're top four in the sports, so you've got their American football, baseball, and the UFC now is top four.

[337] Which means it either passed basketball or NHL, I think, was the other one.

[338] I'm not sure.

[339] Now, this was someone from Endeavour saying that, but I believe it, for me it is.

[340] For me, it's top one.

[341] I love that.

[342] Even in early interviews, I was listening to one with you and the guys, like, you know, they just said you're the fifth most recognizable sports star.

[343] Oh, it was Tony Robbins.

[344] And you go, that's a shit test.

[345] I think they got the data wrong.

[346] I'm number one.

[347] That's it, man. You gotta have it that.

[348] Were you always that conference as a kid?

[349] You just gotta fake it till you make it.

[350] I always felt that I was the man. That's the way I felt.

[351] That's the way I carried myself.

[352] And it worked.

[353] And as you're saying, Jake, about the foreword of me rocking around and people like a fucking circus.

[354] Sometimes life is like a circus, like an animal in the cage.

[355] Although you're out and you're free, sometimes it's like you're in the cage.

[356] Yeah, but you do have two older sisters.

[357] Wait, what does that mean?

[358] Well, I'll tell you.

[359] He's a little.

[360] He's a He's got an older sister too.

[361] Okay, so probably the only nice part about you was implanted by those older sisters.

[362] Yeah, so they're relevant.

[363] My mother.

[364] My mother.

[365] The things we often are tackling in here, because I suffer from it, is like, I'm from a blue collar shit whole place in Detroit.

[366] I'm a fucking drunk.

[367] I want to know about the shit stuff people's been through that's now made them who they are today.

[368] I see that in you that you're interested in that.

[369] So for me, the most pivotal moment I'm curious about is you walk into a boxing school at 12.

[370] That's the first time you walk in.

[371] And I want to know why we walk in there.

[372] I want to know that too.

[373] Like most young boys, why they get into combat sport, is to defend himself.

[374] I was nervous in scenarios.

[375] I was attacked once at twice.

[376] I'm from a rough area.

[377] I'm from a rough town.

[378] Dublin 12.

[379] You get into fights.

[380] Were you small for your age?

[381] I was small enough.

[382] My hair was real blonde.

[383] I stood out like a sore tomb.

[384] I never got away with nothing.

[385] And your sisters, no older brothers.

[386] No older brothers.

[387] And my older sisters have a fight themselves.

[388] No one's fucking with my older sisters.

[389] It wasn't like I was there.

[390] Major thing, but I just wanted to be able to defend myself.

[391] I knew that was critical as a young boy grown -up.

[392] It led me to begin to study the arts.

[393] Do you remember the moment, though?

[394] Like, is there a moment where you went, oh, this feels right?

[395] Why I said, oh, I'm going to the gym, fuck this.

[396] Everyone and everything they do, there's, like, the hard work.

[397] There's the moment where everyone goes, like, well, I could do that.

[398] And they're like, well, are you really going to pull it in that work, right?

[399] And with every job.

[400] And there's that moment where you know it doesn't matter.

[401] You just got to go back.

[402] One of the moments, I think I've spoke this before.

[403] I was with this chick, right?

[404] I was young.

[405] She was about 16.

[406] I was whether or not, she was all that.

[407] I was only about 12 to kill him with the older chick You know yourself And we're walking down the street And she had an older boyfriend Who was older than me as well These motherfuckers drive by me in a car Packed out about five or six of them And your man jumps out And she's with the guy But she's with me You know that way So I'm just standing on the road And I just threw a few shots And I just covered up and took the shots And I got left for the yoke We kept going and I think it happened again The second time I grabbed the hold of them And end up in top position Just rolled them over And then I got out of it But the same thing as out -maned, out -numbered, and out -aged, everything.

[408] And then I just said, no, I'm not letting that happen.

[409] Someone walks up in me, they're not going to walk up on me twice, and that's out straight.

[410] And straight into the gym and I learned out of the fight.

[411] Okay, so right now, this is the most exciting thing.

[412] So the reason I have to start getting involved with fighting is, I'm in sixth grade, and the most popular girl in the eighth grade, asked me out, Sasha Crosset.

[413] And I'm like, oh, my God, what a miracle.

[414] And then guess what, every eighth -grade boy fucking hated my guts.

[415] And so almost the exact same situation where it was like, I let someone basically beat me up because I was afraid.

[416] In the pain, I try to explain this, Monica's like, why are you being in bar fights?

[417] The physical pain for me doesn't even compare to the regret pain of not fighting back.

[418] Trying to fall asleep at night going, fuck, you didn't even fucking fight back that.

[419] Mental agony where you go, there isn't a broken nose that hurts as much as that.

[420] Was any of that happening?

[421] Yeah, for sure.

[422] I just wanted to get out of there.

[423] I said it was an out.

[424] Yeah, you're scared.

[425] Exactly.

[426] There's a moment in life a dude might decide that the back down mental agony and regret.

[427] You'll never experience that again.

[428] Who wants to be the motherfucker that backs down?

[429] What chick is going to be wanting to be with the guy that backs down.

[430] What's so great about him is how he's been in defeat.

[431] I would say one of the things that makes him such an interesting personality and showman.

[432] And what I really admire is watching him in defeat.

[433] No, that's the most mind -blowing part of it all.

[434] Sorry, I don't mean to jump ahead.

[435] We're definitely, and my analogy is George Foreman, the story of Ali Foreman.

[436] Up to that point, George Foreman is undefeated.

[437] He's such a heavy hitter.

[438] He's the baddest motherfucker on Black Earth.

[439] Ali beats him.

[440] He goes into a depression for like five years.

[441] It ruins his own identity.

[442] You're in a game where you're going to get losses.

[443] It's not like boxing in that.

[444] You're going to pick up some losses.

[445] But you've had some streaks that ended.

[446] And in those streaks, I imagine, you felt that same indomitability.

[447] What did it do to you emotionally and mentally when you would suffer one of those defeats?

[448] It's never, I know.

[449] He started just playing back.

[450] everything, but it happens.

[451] The sunrise is the next day.

[452] It kills some people.

[453] The sun rises the next day.

[454] I wouldn't let the fear of failure.

[455] I'd urge you, everyone, don't let the fear of failure stop you from going out and experiencing it and doing things that frighten you, that you may lose.

[456] The sun rises the next day.

[457] We go back and we go again.

[458] This is what martial arts is.

[459] Guess what?

[460] Every single martial arts, every single UFC fighter you see right now has gone through a million losses inside the gym.

[461] You get beaten the gym every fucking day.

[462] It is what it is.

[463] It can happen.

[464] It's about adjusting and coming back.

[465] But I appreciate you saying that, Jake.

[466] have a few fucking losses.

[467] They're overplayed.

[468] People want to downplay my success.

[469] I'm coming up on 20 knockouts in professional mixed martial arts history.

[470] A feat that very, very few have along with all the world titles won.

[471] 20 professional KOs is a huge feat.

[472] So I focus on the good and if I think about everyone I fought in the octagon more than once I've smoked.

[473] I upended in 80 as after he beat me. I caoed paris in 60 seconds and I was walking him like a fucking dog in a lead in the second foot and cut the leg caught lucky and then the toward one he was getting broke up as well.

[474] This is the moment that happens when someone's He's got an edge on him and then he's like, nope.

[475] I'm sitting here like that, yeah, keep thinking.

[476] But, Connor, this is why.

[477] So it's just on me now to control this animal in me as well.

[478] Because I tell you what, if I didn't commit everything to it and I was partying away while I was training, which I've done it, I've done it all.

[479] I've partied on fucking fight week.

[480] And then I've lived like a monk.

[481] I've done them both.

[482] And I've had varying runs on boat, so it's not even about that.

[483] But I think from my own good, if I didn't dial in and it didn't go on my way, which can anything can happen.

[484] I'm very, very confident.

[485] I like the opponent lines up that I have.

[486] I like the level I'm at now skill -wise and what my recent work is.

[487] But if I didn't give it my all and it went my way, I don't think I'd better live with myself.

[488] I'd really be disappointed in that.

[489] Whereas if I gave it everything and I'd talk out, I'd say, now enjoy the entertainment, people, you're welcome.

[490] Because at the end of the day, we're giving something for the people.

[491] Life is this big arching story, and your fighting's a part of it.

[492] But what is amazing, and Ali had this.

[493] Ali lost, and then he'd come back, and he'd lost.

[494] Yeah, in the overall, it doesn't, man. No, do you think anyone's looking back in saying Ali's the greatest?

[495] He was.

[496] In what manner, like, why do you think that?

[497] Do I think he's the greatest boxer?

[498] I mean, he's not, yeah, because he beat every kind of guy.

[499] Because I was asked, what's my favorite movies of Jake?

[500] He was asked, what's his favorite fight of mine?

[501] And he said something that I was surprised by, but it's actually accurate.

[502] It's bigger than fighting.

[503] It's the whole thing is what he was saying.

[504] Like, you step back, you're looking at the micro.

[505] Like, you're talking about this fight and that fight.

[506] And I'm saying as the macro lens when you pan out, I think you will, if you're not already, you probably already have the gratitude.

[507] But when you look back on the deathbed, you're like, oh, all those little chapters, and I made the story super interesting.

[508] I doubted myself and I refound my courage and I went right back at the same guy.

[509] That's a much more complex, colorful, and interesting life.

[510] Well, there's a reason some people supersede the sport.

[511] If you don't know the sport, but you know the person.

[512] Is he the only UFC fighter you know?

[513] Yeah, 100%.

[514] I don't know anything about...

[515] And Jake's the only actor you know, right?

[516] Exactly.

[517] He's totally overcome.

[518] Did you just learn that I was an actor?

[519] Monica just learned that I was an actor.

[520] See that you were a fashionist.

[521] She literally?

[522] Yeah, which you are.

[523] Which you are.

[524] Wait, I do have a question for you.

[525] because I want to know how universal this thing is.

[526] A girl made me feel inadequate, basically, and that made the trajectory.

[527] Well, not a girl.

[528] A girl made me feel adequate.

[529] From a physical standpoint, you fought or this guy did you succeed?

[530] I just mean, the thing that you guys both connect with, do you have that?

[531] Like, do all men, did the trajectory of your life change because of this male competition?

[532] Probably.

[533] For me, yeah, yeah.

[534] For you, for sure.

[535] Probably, yeah.

[536] Are you saying that happened to you also?

[537] No, I'm trying to figure out.

[538] Oh, is it a man thing?

[539] Yes.

[540] Jake's saying.

[541] He doesn't have a different disposition, so I'm wondering.

[542] Yeah, I'd like to sing and stuff.

[543] Exactly.

[544] Also, context, context.

[545] Like, you grew up in Hancock Park.

[546] Where is Hancock Park?

[547] In L .A. They're definitely a fair share fights, but yes, I hear what you're getting at.

[548] It's not the same.

[549] Every kid I went to school with his dad, I worked on the line at General Motors, right?

[550] And they taught him, you fucking punch that kid in the mouth the second he says something.

[551] It's the Kentucky culture of pride that's all up north.

[552] Like, it's a different thing.

[553] and there are five, six fights a week in school, and then there's scheduled fights at the Milford Cinema on Friday night.

[554] I have this deep respect for that because it is so different from the world which I grew up to answer you're saying, Monica.

[555] I think I grew up with this different type of expression.

[556] There was a focus and a honing in and a consistency every day and trying to understand a different kind of craft.

[557] So I get that when you perform and you're on stage and the energy of that and what you get back from an audience.

[558] There are similarities, but there are not the same ones.

[559] Though I admired that, particularly like in the space of growing up and going, what's this world?

[560] I didn't know anything about.

[561] So I, like, went and played all these roles and learned from all these people.

[562] You've been special forces.

[563] You've been all these hyper -masculent things.

[564] But to learn from people like him, remember when I was sitting next to Eminem, when I did this movie, Southpaw, and he did the music, and we did all this press together.

[565] And I was like, what the hell?

[566] I've listened to all his music.

[567] How am I sitting next to this guy?

[568] Like, this is crazy.

[569] It's brought me to people like that.

[570] But I've admired what you're saying, and I've looked in those worlds, and I'm still trying.

[571] That's why, when we were fighting, right?

[572] I don't have anywhere near those.

[573] But what I was trying to understand was I wanted to learn from him.

[574] You get to learn from the best.

[575] It's comical that this was yours.

[576] I mean...

[577] I mean, it is.

[578] It is.

[579] You got a great man, Jake.

[580] You got a great lad serious, for real.

[581] I make me feel like a bad guy you do a little bit.

[582] It's good though.

[583] It just works, doesn't it?

[584] No, it's a beautiful.

[585] It's a beautiful pairing.

[586] And he'll decide it and he'll come up with it, but it's fucking works.

[587] I watched the movie two nights ago and I text him and I'm like, dude, hats fucking off.

[588] any real human that stands across from Connor McGregor, and I believe for half a second he might win, it's almost impossible.

[589] I don't know why he let them cast me. I don't know why either.

[590] I literally don't.

[591] I got the call.

[592] I got the call.

[593] I remember where I was because I knew they were chasing him for a long time.

[594] And there was a part of me that was like, oh my God, that'd be amazing.

[595] And I was like, oh, my God, I don't want that to happen.

[596] And then I was like, then I get the call.

[597] Everyone was so excited.

[598] And it was like they accepted the offer.

[599] You bought the best house.

[600] Then I was like, absolute fucking buyer's remorse.

[601] I was like, oh my God, now we have to do this.

[602] No, let's just say it's like you're playing a snowboarder in a movie.

[603] And your competition, Sean White is in the movie.

[604] And you're like, really?

[605] No one's going to buy this.

[606] You want them to face replace you on Sean points, you know what?

[607] But to be up against it.

[608] I mean, there was this moment, though, like when we did meet up for the first time, he had really tried to stay in the space of who the character was.

[609] He's this wild nature, like in that space that you see when he first enters.

[610] Oh, yeah, he's terrible.

[611] And so he was like, as another actor, I could understand what he wanted to get in that space.

[612] He's like, I'm fucking knox.

[613] And he's in the corner, he's like, I'm ready to take you out.

[614] Yeah, definitely want to be a little afraid.

[615] I was trying to figure out whether this is a character.

[616] Yeah, yeah, but then I was like, wait, wait.

[617] So you, yeah, but like I talk all the time about, okay, so we try and get into the space, because I think the octagon is a sacred space, and I think that in front of the camera is a sacred space too.

[618] When you're in there, you go, okay, you talk to game.

[619] Now he's in your space, and now he's about to present this thing to you.

[620] He's been working on a character, and what are you going to do, cower?

[621] In your head, you have to go, like, all act fucking circles are on you, bitch.

[622] Let's go.

[623] You got to dial into your own confidence.

[624] In my head, I went, I've spent 30 years doing this.

[625] Yes, let's party.

[626] You've spent 30 years doing this.

[627] Let's party.

[628] They're too different.

[629] But that's the look that we have in each other.

[630] It is.

[631] It's so much bigger than, like, a microcosm of what's happening in the actual movie.

[632] To go back to the way, Jake was raised.

[633] enviably, his mom's an artist, his dad's an artist, he's free without any fear of being emasculated by pursuing that inside of him.

[634] That's beautiful.

[635] Yeah.

[636] So I started there and I've been trying to let go of all the shit.

[637] Trauma like from years past?

[638] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[639] Walking into a room and going like, what guy is, okay, now I gotta keep my eyes on him.

[640] Always prepared.

[641] Like you were saying, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, when's this shit gonna hit the fan?

[642] What's my plan?

[643] Everywhere I go.

[644] And trying to accept that my life has gotten good.

[645] I'm 49.

[646] I ain't hanging out with the Milford Cinema.

[647] I don't really have to have that anymore.

[648] And I've been watching you.

[649] I'm so fascinated by you.

[650] You're such a fascinating human being on planet Earth.

[651] And I know, dude, I was broke as shit.

[652] You got the fucking money.

[653] You got the cars.

[654] You drove like a knucklehead.

[655] You got the boat.

[656] You got it all.

[657] Two boats.

[658] I know we had the fantasy.

[659] I'm going to get this shit and I'm going to feel this way.

[660] And then you get this shit and you're like, oh, why don't I fucking feel that?

[661] Did you have that experience?

[662] Yeah, for sure.

[663] It goes back to then the love of what you're doing and what vehicle you used to get you there.

[664] I use my love of martial arts and being in great shape and being physically ready to compete against another well -trained individual.

[665] Once you acquire all of these things, you kind of just revert back to what you are then.

[666] You know, I wake up.

[667] I like to get my training in.

[668] I like to get my good food in.

[669] I'm sharp then in the mind.

[670] I'm fresh then.

[671] I go about my business throughout the day.

[672] I go back in then later in the evening and get another training session in.

[673] It's the same as what I was doing anyway.

[674] It's around nicer surroundings, but it's the same thing.

[675] That's why I always say, understand right now young athletes or young aspiring actors, what you're doing right now this second, you might not have a pot to piss and you might have no money, you might have really bad surroundings.

[676] But what you're doing right now is what you will be doing when you achieve it.

[677] So carry yourself as if you have achieved it because you have, you're living the dream.

[678] That kind of took the edge off from me as well.

[679] I imagine you have to ask yourself, I know what got me here.

[680] You look back, we know.

[681] Is that what will keep me here?

[682] Yeah, yeah, it's a different time.

[683] Who do I want to be for the next?

[684] chapter, I think that's an interesting question for you.

[685] I've wrestled with it.

[686] I'm probably just an addict to the fight game.

[687] I'm addicted to the fight game.

[688] I just want to get in and I want to test me something.

[689] There's more than me. This is going to be the hardest question I asked.

[690] Was there a sweet boy, though, that was 12, who that girl liked, who you had to kind of fucking put away and start on this other path that maybe as you're a father and you think of your next chapter of your life, do you want to let that little boy out that was sweet?

[691] Maybe, maybe, maybe.

[692] Not that you're not sweet.

[693] No, no, no, no, I'm not saying you're a monster.

[694] I don't want to hurt, no, but I just, it's such a beautiful business.

[695] When you make that walk and you step your fair feet on the canvas, it's freedom for a person like me. Then you're challenging yourself, and then it delights, the lights, the action, the crowd.

[696] I'm not saying fighting couldn't be a part of that.

[697] Yeah.

[698] You could still fight and then fucking, in therapy, they call it, not incorporating, what do they call it when you, integrate, you like, integrate the little boy that had to go away at 12.

[699] Yeah, you'd love a bit of that.

[700] And then you were a model of that.

[701] dude's like, oh, no, I'll still knock motherfuckers out.

[702] And I'll tell you I'm scared of my wife being mad.

[703] That's interesting.

[704] Yeah, do you know what?

[705] Now did you say that?

[706] My children, my son, Connor Jr., my firstborn son, really brought that back out of me. And I look at him with no trauma or no life experience.

[707] It's me as a young boy blank canvas.

[708] I used to me. And then I start blaming people.

[709] Not blaming people.

[710] I'm saying, you know what the fuckers harden me or change me a bit, you know what I mean?

[711] But see the way you're saying you're dealing with life's trauma.

[712] Oh, you have that as well.

[713] We all have our trauma that we're dealing with.

[714] I got into this stage in life of trying to think of why the person done that to me or why they were that way to me. And then trying to understand from their standpoint, you know, maybe you have compassion for them and I felt empathy and that was it then.

[715] Yeah, the dudes who were fucking with me. Their dads were kicking their ass.

[716] Yeah, exactly.

[717] Or even my own father had a lot going on through his life.

[718] It caused him to be a certain way.

[719] I always just tried to understand that then as I got older.

[720] And the things he went through made him in this way.

[721] You know, it just made me a lot more forgiving, a lot more acceptable.

[722] Not that anything bad with my father.

[723] It wasn't great.

[724] My father wasn't angry, man, at times.

[725] Angry at his situation.

[726] Now I look at him, I came back from my people.

[727] And now he's a little happy sap rocking around with the money in the pocket and all, you know?

[728] I tried to see it from other people's.

[729] Why are they like that?

[730] You know, how people are with you is more a reflection of them than it is of you.

[731] A thousand percent.

[732] So if you kind of understand it, it brings you to ease, you know, brings you peace.

[733] But the fatherhood, for me, this has been the most illuminating for who I am.

[734] I have two girls.

[735] So I haven't had to decide if I'm going to tell them, like, listen, man, Whoever hits first generally wins, you get some shit, you swing.

[736] If I had a son, I got to decide what I'm going to pass on, right?

[737] And I have a girl and it's already come up where someone's talking mean to her.

[738] And how am I going to tell her?

[739] And I'm at this crossroads where it's like, do I want this little person to go down the same road as me?

[740] I know.

[741] Or do I want to go?

[742] No, no, that's actually not the world they're in.

[743] That's not me protecting them by giving him this skill set.

[744] I just imagine you with a boy have to be deciding do I teach him how to be me or do I trust that the world's beautiful enough that he doesn't need it because it comes with the price I have them in class I deal with my own training with them life has to show itself at some point you know we can't do you wrestle with it I guess like my daughter's in now she trains with Cecilina Gracie one of the Gracie daughters Jiu Jitsu is a really great martial art especially for women for anyone you know you get a jujitsu lady wrap you up in a bowman there's no danger Yeah they're doing crazy stuff There's no danger So we've got some more champions in our gym, some female world champions.

[745] But train martial arts.

[746] Pray, nothing happens.

[747] It's all peace and flowers and love and happiness and hope for the best, but prepare for, you know.

[748] Yeah, it's just tricky.

[749] Connor, my old 26, is very artistic.

[750] I could see acting school or some sort of school of performing arts.

[751] I'd love to say my child.

[752] Him and my daughter, Crea, do Irish dancing.

[753] Oh, wonderful.

[754] So I used to do Irish dancing in my school, but these are real competitors that do this.

[755] They're world champions in Irish dancing.

[756] You ever seen Irish dancing?

[757] Oh, yeah.

[758] River dance is.

[759] But in my head, I'm saying that's going to be.

[760] great for his fighting.

[761] Yeah, he's going to be at the kill five but he doesn't want to fight.

[762] He said it to me many times, I don't like training, I don't want to fight.

[763] I see Sean you don't have to.

[764] But trust me, there'll come a time.

[765] If you have it in the back pocket, you're going to be confident.

[766] That's what I would tell him.

[767] I'll tell him there go come a time where you'll have to river dance, my friend.

[768] If there's four guys, you're not going to win, so start river dancing.

[769] Maybe you can win them over.

[770] That's my technique.

[771] It will definitely scare everyone.

[772] Oh my God.

[773] Stay tuned for more armchair expert If you dare Okay, first of all, the movie's fucking rad He's watched it, yeah, yeah, I watched it two days ago Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then I'll be tonight at the premiere And I'm moderating your panel I've not heard from many people, only one or two that have watched it outside of the cast But I'm biased because one of my very favorite movies of all time is the original I'm interested to hear your talk to him Because I was aware of that, you know, I knew there's people out with a magnifying glass that would be very critical of it I think they're going to be happy I don't think there'll be no issue with it I think people would be actually delighted And it's another addition to the Roadhouse family And it's an honor I have a question for you actually Going in, you know people in it You have ties and stuff like that Yeah, yeah When we talked last year I was interviewing him And he just randomly goes Yeah, I was in a scene with Connor McGregor And I go, what the fuck were you In a scene with Connor McGregor for it?

[774] And he goes, oh, we're redoing Roadhouse He was like, why the fuck are we talking right now?

[775] He literally was like, why am I talking right now?

[776] Why isn't Connor?

[777] Well, also just like They're remaking one of my favorite movies of all time And I fucking know it inside and out Watch you think about it with the new one of the old.

[778] I just wanted to ask you because as a fan is very important to me because you are a true fan of the OG O .G. Roadhouse.

[779] We've been in the middle of this conversation about, oh, what's like to redo?

[780] And I'm like, well, we didn't redo.

[781] We reimagined it as everyone's saying.

[782] But then there's also mirrors of things that happen in it.

[783] Listen, let's just get to the spirit of it.

[784] We're going to tell a story that's the solution to everything is knocking someone out.

[785] It's so classic.

[786] Everyone's hot.

[787] The stakes of it are like, I don't know, this person wants to build a result.

[788] Okay.

[789] That's not the priority.

[790] Let's start breaking.

[791] glass at the bar.

[792] Let's get some good music in.

[793] Let's get some fucking motorcycles and let's swing and make out with chicks.

[794] I mean, the spirit of it is...

[795] They didn't really do that, though.

[796] He did a little kid.

[797] It could have been a little bit more.

[798] I would have thought.

[799] Yeah, but we understand the times we're in.

[800] We taught at myself as well.

[801] There could have been a bit more.

[802] That me picking up the chick down the dance and the whole scene was on the floor.

[803] Once they cast Connor, we started to lose time.

[804] It's just, you know what I mean?

[805] It was just...

[806] But when we started talking about it 11 months ago, I was saying of the many things I liked about it, Patrick Swayzee was a peak powers.

[807] What a man. He was so awesome.

[808] He was a gymnast.

[809] He was a firefighter.

[810] He was in outsiders.

[811] River dancer.

[812] He was a football player and what took him out of being a professional football player or he played in college is he destroyed his knee.

[813] And in dirty dancing, he has to jump off the stage.

[814] And if you watch the doc about it, he went over and over.

[815] And every time he landed just collapsed, like in so much fucking pain.

[816] This is what I love about you.

[817] Not only are you obsessed with the Roadhouse, but you also love dirty dancing.

[818] Because of Swayze.

[819] I love the real thing, that's right now.

[820] Have you seen outsiders?

[821] Swayzy for me, number one.

[822] No, we haven't seen it.

[823] It's a gang movie.

[824] Francis Ford Coppola.

[825] It launched everybody.

[826] It launched Milly West West West.

[827] Tom Cruise.

[828] I look when that happens.

[829] You get up.

[830] Now you can go watch them.

[831] So he was the king when I was a kid.

[832] Swayze was everything.

[833] So, okay, he makes all the decisions in the movies he's making at that time.

[834] He makes Roadhouse and he gets out of bed naked.

[835] We watch him walk all the way over to the dresser and we're just seen his ass cheeks.

[836] This is Swayze.

[837] No, Swayze, but you too.

[838] Swayze.

[839] I don't even know that you know that that was a nod to that.

[840] Was it?

[841] The most memorable thing is...

[842] Yeah, I wouldn't do it, so they asked you to do it.

[843] Is that serious?

[844] You look at your arson.

[845] I always thought it was something to do with Arnold.

[846] I might have been telling people.

[847] The Swartaker came in that way.

[848] Terminator.

[849] Well, that's what I was telling him.

[850] I said, look, Arnie doesn't.

[851] I'll tell you to people are going to be shocked at that.

[852] No, no one knows really that that's going to be in a ball reverse.

[853] So not only is he nude and he walks to the thing and he's in a medium shot, then they put a different lens on close up of his ass.

[854] And then he squeezes it.

[855] Yes, he does.

[856] He's in the movie.

[857] And I was like a 12 -year -old going like, do I like this?

[858] But what's he doing?

[859] Why is this happening?

[860] I think I like it.

[861] So I said to Jake, when we talked about the movie 11 months ago, My first question was, and we're going to see your ass cheeks clenched?

[862] And he said, no. If we didn't know.

[863] If we didn't know where they clench, damn you, okay?

[864] You do.

[865] And the first walk away, you do.

[866] No, on the first walk away, just your basic walking stance, it's basically clenched.

[867] Fridge, freeze out rocking down the fucking thing.

[868] I'm going to argue that you actually topped it.

[869] Okay, so I'm going into the movie hoping we're going to see something that nods to this.

[870] And then we meet Connor jumping out of a window.

[871] He's clearly with someone else's woman.

[872] He's very.

[873] Ding, ding, back to the beginning of your history.

[874] It's a through line of his life and artistic work.

[875] Look at that.

[876] You've really hit on something.

[877] So not only did we get the butt cheeks, but Connor, well fucking done.

[878] There'll be a 12 -year -old that's having the same experience I had when I was 12.

[879] I'm sorry.

[880] But you didn't or you just are always clenched.

[881] He was doing his.

[882] It's a classic Connor O 'Gregor walk.

[883] I was just going to say.

[884] He does his walk.

[885] And then he doesn't even.

[886] It was.

[887] It can't be a champion without good glue.

[888] That is true.

[889] You've got to be strong.

[890] It's the center of your being, right?

[891] Well, I'll tell you how, okay, now this is for you, Jake.

[892] Yeah.

[893] So I have once gotten in the shape you got in for this movie.

[894] You got an insane shape.

[895] It's glorious.

[896] Thank you so much.

[897] You looked great.

[898] No, it's glorious.

[899] You always look great, by the way.

[900] What a fucking buffet of muscles.

[901] But what I know...

[902] Buffet of muscles is really good.

[903] What I know...

[904] That's the first time anyone's ever said that.

[905] Buffet of muscles is fantastic.

[906] That should be the like colon, roadhouse, colon, and buffet of muscles, I think that's good.

[907] Just me and Connor eating muscles.

[908] All you can eat.

[909] All you can eat buffet of muscles.

[910] Is there no camera?

[911] No, it's just audio.

[912] We want people to be comfortable, not worried about how they look.

[913] We edit it too, so there's no like...

[914] This show is fantastic.

[915] You're on a fantastic show.

[916] There's a lot of noise out there.

[917] Isn't there a game's true?

[918] We got the one.

[919] It's a taxi drivers back there.

[920] There's so many of them.

[921] They're champs.

[922] They're chaps.

[923] Okay, back to your body.

[924] Yeah.

[925] So I know what you went through.

[926] And I'm going to say, because I did this for chips, right?

[927] And I had a butt shot in it.

[928] But once I cut to get ripped, my ass cheeks disappeared.

[929] Now, here's the difference between an actor and a champion.

[930] Somehow he was cut like that.

[931] And then his fucking ass cheeks were banging.

[932] I know.

[933] That's the difference, right?

[934] You would have been bummed with your buns at that weight, yeah?

[935] Well, I stay pretty consistently in shape all the time, mental and physical health.

[936] That's important for me. I always stay, as we say, when I train about two to three.

[937] three weeks out.

[938] I like staying in that space.

[939] And if I have to do something more extreme for something, then I'll do that and then I'll change.

[940] Would you say, though, this was peak of your career?

[941] Yes, absolutely.

[942] We had a team.

[943] We had somebody cooking for me, the right calories, everything.

[944] We trained an hour and a half before work.

[945] But the truth is, on this movie, I had to stay in this weird space where you looked aesthetically in the right place, but you also had to function.

[946] That first headboat we did, for instance.

[947] We did that 30, 40 times.

[948] And we did some of these fights.

[949] I'm turning down face to come out and throw them over the bar.

[950] The work was hard.

[951] Yeah.

[952] I was taking back at how how I had the fucking walk was.

[953] That surprised me when you were like, I come from a tough game.

[954] Jake has 16 projects on the goal right now in motion.

[955] He cannot understand how he can have that much work on.

[956] He's like, oh, when I fight, I fight for 30 minutes.

[957] You're like, I got training and I fight for 30 minutes.

[958] He's like, we have to do this 100 times.

[959] 14 hours, four days in a row to get one sequence.

[960] But yeah, you're right.

[961] The difference between obviously a professional athlete and me is that your glutes have to be ready to go all the time.

[962] You know, I know my ass was going to be on the show.

[963] I put a couple more plates on the squat, like you.

[964] How much?

[965] You two, booty blast workouts.

[966] This is your sweet spot, though.

[967] We talked about this last time you were here.

[968] You love a regimen.

[969] I do love a regimen.

[970] And in fact, weren't we saying, like, maybe that's something you were trying to sort of taper back a little bit?

[971] Well, we talked, I had already made this movie.

[972] Oh, great.

[973] Yeah.

[974] But like that.

[975] He was recovering from this movie.

[976] Yeah.

[977] But at the same time, too, you get to an age and you're like, I love what I've learned from my body.

[978] I loved what it shows you and teaches you.

[979] Sometimes I'll be on a run and I'll be like, man, I don't know how long I'll be able to do this.

[980] I am grateful for this.

[981] Are you 43?

[982] 43, yeah.

[983] You start realizing, well, if I don't do this now, I'm probably not going to be able to do it in five years or I'm not going to be able to do it in six years.

[984] Your brain shifts somehow your mortality becomes a reality.

[985] For real.

[986] And so to me, I was like, this is an amazing opportunity.

[987] You know, at a certain point, I thought, this is fun.

[988] I have a team of people I know we kind of gathered all together.

[989] And I've never done that before.

[990] Every other movie I've done, I've eaten whatever I need to eat myself.

[991] I have had a trainer I've trained.

[992] And I thought, there's an opportunity here to like, really go full Marvel movie.

[993] Full, full force.

[994] Connor, your physique, how much of it is just from having done the sport you've done?

[995] And how much do you actually lift and train?

[996] By that, I did no martial arts training.

[997] I just kind of benched to the martial arts.

[998] I put it to the side and I was just lifting heavy as a motherfucker.

[999] I was doing that anyway because I had the leg injury.

[1000] So I was lifting a lot.

[1001] Let me tell Monica, his last fight, his tibia guy.

[1002] snapped in half and it was visible in the fight.

[1003] It was one of the grossest.

[1004] Yeah, it's a tough injury.

[1005] It's probably the toughest in the game.

[1006] Oh, my God.

[1007] I was just lifting heavy anyway.

[1008] And then the call came and then I just lifted that extra bit heavier and then I just tidied up the diet and voila, rocked in.

[1009] So chest and fucking tracks?

[1010] What weight were you in that?

[1011] Every fighter will tell you this.

[1012] I have a mad relationship with the scale from cutting weight 145, 155, 170.

[1013] After the fight...

[1014] Can I just tell Monica real quick?

[1015] He's the only guy in UFC history that was holding two.

[1016] different belts at two different weight classes.

[1017] So he's fighting at one way, one month, and then six months later he's fighting a completely different way.

[1018] And so he'll have to cut 15 fucking pounds.

[1019] Like sometimes even within a day.

[1020] In a day.

[1021] A day.

[1022] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1023] It's not a nice portion of the game.

[1024] It should be monitored a bit better.

[1025] Because they have to hit the weight at weigh in, 145, right?

[1026] And then he'll start drinking water and come fight night just two days later.

[1027] He might be 15 pounds heavier.

[1028] 20 even and not even two days there.

[1029] Those injuries come from some of that.

[1030] We all have a relationship with the scale.

[1031] He was in the Beverly Hills Hotel because that's what he had a villet after the surgery because I had the surgery in Los Angeles.

[1032] So I'm in an electric wheelchair wheeling myself to the Beverly Hills gym, down into the Beverly Hills Hotel gym and just getting onto a bench and lifting.

[1033] My favorite thing is he's like, I wasn't in shape for this movie I just lifted.

[1034] There's a moment where I try and choke him out and I'm on his back, and he runs backwards and slams me into the back of the wall and then throws me on a table.

[1035] I don't know what the fuck he's like when he's actually in shape.

[1036] But that was insane What way would you have been that time?

[1037] I'm usually around 190, 200 Maybe 185 times Yeah I don't know what way I was I'm, that's the truth I decided I'm not even looking At a fucking scales again And I haven't Since that time I stepped on weight To make that weight for that last fight I have not touched the scales once Do you want to though?

[1038] Do you not get curious?

[1039] I don't care I called and said the fight is going to be at 185 pounds against Chandler Oh It could be 171 Where do you sit then?

[1040] Normally like right now you think No, I don't know No, man, I haven't checked.

[1041] Rob, get the scale.

[1042] Shut.

[1043] I'll say, give a take.

[1044] I feel like I'm coming back down, because I'm doing more cardio basketball.

[1045] I'm definitely coming back down.

[1046] I'm doing more martial arts work.

[1047] In fact, I haven't been lifting at all, really.

[1048] I'm doing more martial arts work.

[1049] Getting the kick, snappy, getting the balance walk ready.

[1050] You know, I know what's ahead of me. So the body's getting naturally trimmer.

[1051] I'm probably about 180, maybe, I'd say.

[1052] Give our take.

[1053] But we have a fact check on this show, so we'll need you to go weigh yourself and send it.

[1054] I'll do it for you, send us in a minute.

[1055] It's coming soon.

[1056] I'm going to wait until the paddies festivities, ma' and then I'll But who knew that Michael Chandler, in the promo video for the UFC fight that I did, that's also in the movie, Chandler came to the DR to be my opponent that I knock out.

[1057] No way.

[1058] Was he there?

[1059] Yeah.

[1060] You were there?

[1061] Yeah, you were there?

[1062] No way.

[1063] I had no idea.

[1064] And forgive my ignorance.

[1065] Are you fighting him next?

[1066] Well, I mean, that's here what I say.

[1067] You're coming back, right, to the UFC.

[1068] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1069] Two fights left on my UFC contract.

[1070] I'm in a lovely position.

[1071] I'd love to renegotiate with the UFC.

[1072] I'd love to figure something out.

[1073] I'm the highest paid UFC fighter of all time.

[1074] But even despite that, I'm the most un -uneration.

[1075] underpaid UFC.

[1076] Well, when you fought Mayweather, you made a hundred and some million.

[1077] Yeah, I'm just saying when you compare.

[1078] The figures I bring in, I'm the most underpaid fighter in history.

[1079] So it's fine.

[1080] I'm rich as shit.

[1081] I've made hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars.

[1082] I have businesses trending towards millionaire status.

[1083] But what happens now?

[1084] I have two fights left in the UFC.

[1085] I go to the finish, become a free agent, then McGregor promotions happens.

[1086] Then I can pick who I can fight.

[1087] They can pick where?

[1088] Do you like looking at young fighters and do you like thinking about that?

[1089] Like what, to fight them?

[1090] No, no, no. To manage them.

[1091] More agents.

[1092] Oh, for sure I have a management agency also.

[1093] Part of our sports, we manage some great fighters.

[1094] We have champions on the roster also.

[1095] One of our guys that's making his UFC debut tomorrow night.

[1096] Michael Venomitch.

[1097] I sponsor promotions.

[1098] You did do that when we were working.

[1099] He'd look at myself where he'd be like, no, throw that right, just a little bit job like that way and then come back and then you're going to grab me, take me, just higher.

[1100] Bring your arms up higher, you know.

[1101] He's always a mentor.

[1102] Connor, you can say that you would want to promote me. You can say it.

[1103] You can say it on the show.

[1104] And I think maybe both of us should be on paradigm.

[1105] I feel like, right?

[1106] No, butter.

[1107] No, butter.

[1108] You know?

[1109] Man, there's big business in it.

[1110] I'm just gonna, like, river dance and then you can...

[1111] I'm making so much money you can swim in it.

[1112] I just wanna dance in it.

[1113] I'll tell you what, I will make you fucking as much, if not more than you make for a movie.

[1114] And it's only 30 minutes, it ain't fucking 10 months.

[1115] What is that?

[1116] Oh, you mean in the ring?

[1117] In the ring, if he wants to get in a ring, I can make him fucking more money than he makes making a movie.

[1118] I know I watched the money that Jake Paul and these Paul brothers have generated.

[1119] And I'm like, I'd fight Zach Brown.

[1120] It's not selling now.

[1121] I think you should start a whole series that is just actress fighting and I want to be your fighter.

[1122] I don't.

[1123] So, but again, like I said, I will dance.

[1124] I'll river dance and I'll do other things.

[1125] You're dying to fight.

[1126] Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

[1127] I'm a part of this thing called Train Alta. It's essentially regular people who have regular jobs and they dedicate, I think it's six months you have to deal of their life to training for a fight and then they fight in a show and train Alta show.

[1128] And it is usually.

[1129] successful.

[1130] It's growing at a rapid rate.

[1131] We're going to the New York Stock Exchange shortly to announce it to the public market.

[1132] And what it does also is it's boosted martial arts gyms around the world because they're taking on the program.

[1133] People are signing up regular people and they're getting loads new members.

[1134] Loads of people are like yourself.

[1135] I haven't want to test themselves.

[1136] You could do that, you train and you learn together and then you match and then you fight.

[1137] Don't you want to know if Monica's ever fought?

[1138] I want to know if you've ever thought.

[1139] No, never.

[1140] Have you ever wanted to?

[1141] Well, actually that's not fair.

[1142] I fight all the time with my words.

[1143] Oh, yeah.

[1144] She fights me. I don't have a great record against her, verbally.

[1145] I'm pretty good with, I won't finish that sentence.

[1146] But yeah, so I've never fought physically.

[1147] No desire.

[1148] I have a zero desire.

[1149] So when you watch movies like, when you watch a movie like this.

[1150] I don't mind seeing it.

[1151] When Dax talks about fighting all the time in his fight stories, I definitely don't.

[1152] She hates them.

[1153] She finds it unattractive.

[1154] I don't find it hot.

[1155] I will say that.

[1156] Yeah.

[1157] A professional sense is such a different thing.

[1158] But like a bar fight.

[1159] Yeah.

[1160] That doesn't do much for me. They're not good.

[1161] They're 100%.

[1162] It's just like, why, guys?

[1163] You want to enjoy yourself?

[1164] Yeah.

[1165] Well, no, do you want to get deeper psychological?

[1166] Yeah.

[1167] There's a real reason.

[1168] So back when I was a drunk and I fought all the time at bars, there were girls that like that.

[1169] But those were girls like me who grew up in an environment that was scary.

[1170] Yeah, they're fructed too, yeah.

[1171] And they want someone that's going to protect them because they got knocked around by dad or they got knocked around by an uncle.

[1172] What's sad is you attract other people that are also hurt.

[1173] Totally.

[1174] It's not like my wife who's not maladjusted or.

[1175] grew up in a lot of violence.

[1176] I beat a guy up on the sidewalk one day when we were driving to an event, and she fucking hated it.

[1177] I'm like, that dude threw a fucking glass at her window, he could have hurt you.

[1178] She's like, no, we were fine.

[1179] You didn't need to do that.

[1180] That was terrible.

[1181] It's not nice.

[1182] I'm a happy drunk, by the way.

[1183] We don't fight a lot, to be honest.

[1184] The only way we'll ever really fight in a bar out in an home space if there's a threat right on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1185] Now, if I've gone, the mind is gone.

[1186] Anything can happen then.

[1187] But also, I want to say, there's also a reason I would never fight because everyone had their own scary environments.

[1188] I didn't have any physical fear growing up, but I had a lot of like I have to be accepted.

[1189] So I was not ever going to be in a situation to fight because I would do anything to be liked.

[1190] I'm not going to be the person to fight.

[1191] You can find safety many ways.

[1192] Exactly.

[1193] And for me, safety was being liked by most people as possible.

[1194] So fighting was not on the radar.

[1195] Outside of the fighting, to me, I love the physical part of the training.

[1196] The training for it mentally also.

[1197] Even sparring, it takes you to a different level because it does something in your nervous system, in your mind, in your body, all of it together is working.

[1198] So outside of the fight itself, the training, I love it.

[1199] It pushes you to a place.

[1200] It fortifies you in other areas of your life.

[1201] It gives you the opportunity to see how far you can push your mind and your body.

[1202] And fight training is really the only space where you can do that in that particular way.

[1203] It would be easy for you to get addicted to it.

[1204] If you got a competition under your belt and you felt that experience in that rush, there's no adrenaline rush like it.

[1205] Oh, my God.

[1206] You're going to join UFC.

[1207] Yeah.

[1208] Yeah, right.

[1209] My explanation of fighting is I have never lost a fight because I've only been fighting the fear in myself.

[1210] So if I can not be afraid, I can't lose.

[1211] I can get beat up.

[1212] That's the truth for me. So everyone gets to decide, and it's great for everyone to make their own decision.

[1213] But for me, the only thing I'm fighting is fear.

[1214] So I can't lose.

[1215] I've had my nose broken.

[1216] It's crooked.

[1217] I got missing.

[1218] I don't know.

[1219] I always say, once you make that walk, girl, I win, I want you to you.

[1220] make that walk.

[1221] Yes, because I only have to defeat the voice in my head that's afraid.

[1222] No, guys, guys, guys, nobody ever wins a fight.

[1223] Yes, that's a good line.

[1224] I've just been trying to, I just been trying to get it in there.

[1225] I've just, every fucking second I've been trying, you're like, you won't even let me. That's all I wanted to say.

[1226] That's a pro.

[1227] That's 70 press jumpets.

[1228] That's what a pro does.

[1229] Like, when you throw that left hook, that's your thing.

[1230] What he just did is his left hook.

[1231] That's right.

[1232] Okay, I do want to talk about the fight sequences are so, fucking radical.

[1233] Doug Lyman, I wish he was here.

[1234] What an incredible job.

[1235] He's coming here, I believe.

[1236] Oh, he got over it.

[1237] Oh, good.

[1238] Well, I mean, I'm being out down.

[1239] I hope he's got up.

[1240] Yeah, I mean, it's just going to be a you.

[1241] We all deserve it to be here.

[1242] He did an incredible job.

[1243] And he told me, I found it hard to believe he hadn't even seen the original movie.

[1244] But regardless, there's so much physical fighting and reenacting of fighting.

[1245] Did you get hurt a bunch?

[1246] And also, was it hard for you to snap into movie version.

[1247] I was definitely acting and playing a role, for sure.

[1248] And as far as, like, did I get hurt?

[1249] It was as tough as I've ever fucking experienced.

[1250] Me and Jake were fighting on a little dingy in the middle of the ocean, yeah?

[1251] And I have this fucking anchor.

[1252] And I swing the anchor and then the boat veers, I get thrown off.

[1253] But not only that, when I land in the water, the camera was just right to...

[1254] There's a thing online, it's a white Siberian tiger jumping into the sea or into a pool or something to grab a bit of meat.

[1255] Did you ever see that?

[1256] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1257] It's a picture.

[1258] On Instagram, yeah.

[1259] I wanted to get that when I got in the water.

[1260] But that wasn't the finish of it.

[1261] The boat was going...

[1262] It's a speedboat and it's going fucking...

[1263] You know, it's tear them the fucking shoulder on me. I was like that shoulder surgery on the right shoulder about eight months ago.

[1264] That really exensuated because it was tearing the fucking shoulder down me sucking.

[1265] It's a damn tough bitch, especially a movie like that.

[1266] Now, I'd imagine you're sitting on a rom -com type of thing.

[1267] They're probably handy.

[1268] I don't know, you'd know, Jake.

[1269] But that one was fucking handy.

[1270] Sometimes in those scenes, we're fighting on the floor, we're fighting around tables.

[1271] We're fighting around glass, even if it's breakaway glass.

[1272] You know, the car goes through the...

[1273] You drive the truck into the...

[1274] Into the...

[1275] Because not everyone.

[1276] Oh, into the bar.

[1277] Into the roadhouse.

[1278] To the roadhouse.

[1279] Ding, ding, ding.

[1280] I have to jump over the bar as the car crashes.

[1281] But Doug wanted to do in a very particular way because he didn't want it to look the way he usually look.

[1282] So I go over the bar.

[1283] It's CGI that truck coming in, but we had to do the whole thing.

[1284] The door's opening and all the shit.

[1285] And so then I get up.

[1286] I'm supposed to have sort of been a little bit out of it.

[1287] I put my hand on the bar.

[1288] Oh, that was glass.

[1289] Fucking straight glass.

[1290] Oh, no. But the take I knew was good because we were cutting right before and they didn't cut.

[1291] So I was like around the corner and I was like, we're not doing it again.

[1292] I felt the glass going to my hand.

[1293] So that's the part where I slammed the door.

[1294] on his leg.

[1295] Yes, yes, over and over again.

[1296] So I have to just finish that off so it can get to that point.

[1297] I remember the feeling and went, that's a lot of glass.

[1298] And I just finished the fucking take.

[1299] And I just finished the day and got to the thing.

[1300] Stuff like that all the time.

[1301] I mean, staff, from grappling and all that.

[1302] You get those types of injuries.

[1303] Did you get an infection?

[1304] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1305] I thought it came from, remember that scene where you come with a piece of wood?

[1306] Oh, you only got it after, did you?

[1307] I kept grabbing.

[1308] I was on the ground and grabbing you as you were at me. And I grabbed your arm.

[1309] And I thought, oh, maybe I injured.

[1310] but my whole arm sold up it.

[1311] It ended up being staff.

[1312] Oh, shit.

[1313] You got to watch with that staff.

[1314] There were things like that that happened all the time, but gratefully, I was really, really trying to take care of everything that we did and my body while we were doing it.

[1315] I didn't sustain any major injuries.

[1316] He didn't break anything.

[1317] He's a testament to the team I was working with.

[1318] Yeah, who's the crew of stunt dudes?

[1319] Garrette Warren.

[1320] Garrett Warren is their stunt coordinator.

[1321] Steve Brown's our fight coordinator.

[1322] Has he been with Lyman forever?

[1323] No, no. Gare and Steve.

[1324] It was Avatar.

[1325] There's fight scenes in Avatar, is that?

[1326] Yeah, there are.

[1327] But they do a lot of waterwork, too.

[1328] Actually, that was fun.

[1329] Oh, that's like a cartoon.

[1330] But actually, they designed this, like, four -pass system that we did for the movie.

[1331] Garrett designed this thing where basically you do the Hollywood pass of the fight in a take, right?

[1332] So you do the angles for the camera.

[1333] And then you do the next pass where there's a pad.

[1334] So if the pad then replaces Connor, so then I hit the pad.

[1335] You can punch for real.

[1336] For real.

[1337] So you see the impact on my body.

[1338] Yes.

[1339] Then it switches.

[1340] And then it's the punch is hit.

[1341] So then we take the pad and hit Connor with the pad.

[1342] So his body responds.

[1343] Then we do the last pass, which is a slow motion pass, which is like when you're kids and you're play fighting.

[1344] And you actually hit.

[1345] So good.

[1346] So good.

[1347] So good.

[1348] I've never seen that in the movie.

[1349] I've never seen the connection like that in the movie.

[1350] So when a force to that was just big.

[1351] I was trying to explain that four pasting in an interview there.

[1352] You just done it way better.

[1353] I have a video of Chandler that we did because we were testing it out.

[1354] And I'm just hammer -fisting him.

[1355] It's in the corner of the octagon for just a clip.

[1356] And it's really funny working with real fighters because like with him, you were asked before and I think it's really interesting.

[1357] He didn't know how to fake fight.

[1358] Right.

[1359] You get to learn it a fake fight.

[1360] And the same thing with Chandler.

[1361] I'm fake hitting Chandler and he's resisting as you would.

[1362] Right.

[1363] He's keeping his neck stiff enough so that he don't knock him out.

[1364] And we're like, you need to play like you're getting hit.

[1365] And so to unlearn that for a fighter is like telling you to go against all your instincts.

[1366] I'll say something and people can look out for it in the movie in a scene where you jump on the back in your hand the choke and I smack you on the table and I'm trying to get out of it, right?

[1367] Yeah.

[1368] You're actually choking me, right?

[1369] Oh shit, you told me, me. And his foot, you know, you put your hooks in.

[1370] You start you put your hooks in so you have full control of the person.

[1371] I was trying to turn into you.

[1372] And as I was getting choked and the hook was there stuck so I could.

[1373] Oh, God.

[1374] I was like this.

[1375] I had to let go.

[1376] Get the hook out and then torn.

[1377] That's as real as I gets, yes.

[1378] He told me to do it like that.

[1379] Yeah.

[1380] So he was like, you want to really get me. Just do it like this and wrap your legs around me. And I was like, okay, sure.

[1381] And what I do it?

[1382] He's like, what the fuck are you doing?

[1383] He was escaping, yeah.

[1384] If I were you, I'd be living the whole time in fear of like, when am I going to accidentally trigger his real response?

[1385] Because something happens at some point.

[1386] It's not an emotional response.

[1387] It's a fighter's response.

[1388] And so to me, that's the thing that I had to understand.

[1389] And there were a number of times, I remember I had to say to you before we start the scene, I'd be like, remember, you don't have to actually hit me. And he would say, he would literally go, yep, yep, you get him.

[1390] I remember.

[1391] Thanks for the reminder.

[1392] Yeah, because I think in those moments, the instant comes in.

[1393] Remember that first thing we did?

[1394] We did four or five combination.

[1395] And then you come off camera and then you roundhouse me, right?

[1396] And I'm supposed to block you.

[1397] But early on, he was so psyched to do the scene.

[1398] It was like his first day shooting me. Too excited.

[1399] He just came running off camera and just roundhouse kicked me every time.

[1400] I remember I sent you.

[1401] That was my fear for you when I was watching.

[1402] Like, does he know how to pull?

[1403] But this is the thing with him on set.

[1404] He was so great.

[1405] I turned to you and I said, you know we're not on camera.

[1406] And he was like so in the character.

[1407] Yeah.

[1408] Because I didn't really know where the camera is aware at times.

[1409] Sure, sure.

[1410] It was a moment where it was.

[1411] It was actually my very first take that I done.

[1412] I was in the water.

[1413] You weren't there at this time.

[1414] I came up out of the sea after the boat crash.

[1415] I had to swim to the fucking ladder.

[1416] It was a wide shot or a long shot.

[1417] I don't know what way he's called in the industry.

[1418] But it was nowhere near me. You didn't need you do any of this.

[1419] I'm under the water like myself drowned.

[1420] I'm saying I'm coming out of this water like a torpedo.

[1421] I just want their full body.

[1422] Hum.

[1423] I'm thinking, this is going to look so great on the movie.

[1424] And I've done like 10 takes, I came out of water like a fucking torpedo.

[1425] And then, okay, guys, now we're switching cameras.

[1426] And I was like, wait, what?

[1427] And the camera was not going to see it.

[1428] And I was absolutely exhausted.

[1429] It's such.

[1430] When it was actually time to do it, I was like, I flunked that in the water.

[1431] It's like, it's a hard lesson.

[1432] It was a hard lesson to art. It was a bit of training as well.

[1433] It's kind of like, when does Zigfried and Roy's tiger decide to bite?

[1434] It's like that, right, where it's like trained and it's fine.

[1435] And then all of a sudden, they're a tiger, really.

[1436] Yeah, like you catch him on an accident on the button, and all of a sudden there's a real snack.

[1437] Only once in by mistake, we looked at the shot and he was like, oh, there's this and I could throw that right a little bit tighter, and if I throw that right a little bit tighter, and then you popped me, and you went, oh, I didn't mean to it.

[1438] You took a way out.

[1439] That's minimal though for that much fighting in the movie.

[1440] What I realized is really we were at different ends of the spectrum in that sense and that the pacing of yourself in shots, understanding where the camera is, all the techniques of making a movie, Not a sprint.

[1441] All that stuff that any professional athlete would tell anybody who's just an amateur in the same game.

[1442] Yeah.

[1443] He would do the opposite when we were in fights.

[1444] You know, when we were in fights, it was always that you don't have to do that because you bring this leg up and you do it like that.

[1445] And then he'll look back and he'll say that left was a little weak.

[1446] Maybe that straight and he's a bit strong.

[1447] A little torque of the body, a little bit of torso work, a little hip.

[1448] Jake knows how to throw a backhand, knows how to try a jab.

[1449] The work he would have done with Southpaw and his regular training.

[1450] But as I went on in a flurry of combinations, one of them might have been a little bit off.

[1451] I doiled a few little things and just made it come across way more venomous, way more realistic.

[1452] We had a great balance together and a great chemistry and the shows in the movie.

[1453] So listen, when a professional athlete joins a movie, it's happened a bunch of times.

[1454] We have a lot of examples of it.

[1455] You're always like, oh, how's this going to go?

[1456] And I want to tell you, you're fantastic.

[1457] Thank you so much.

[1458] You're so good.

[1459] Thank you.

[1460] Appreciate that.

[1461] If you want to do it more and more, you will do it more and more.

[1462] You're really, really confident and you're not self -conscious and you're entertaining as hell.

[1463] I mean, the movie goes like this, doesn't it?

[1464] He comes in and he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1465] How is it fitting into, and I wonder how calculated the overall thing?

[1466] So it's like you've got beer, you've got the whiskey, you've got nightclubs, you've got fighting, you've got clothes, acting.

[1467] How does this play into the overall thing?

[1468] I'm a creator.

[1469] I create an entertainment.

[1470] So this would lend itself well to it.

[1471] And, you know, let's see how it goes.

[1472] It's a huge pay decrease for you to spend your time.

[1473] You love movies.

[1474] I love movies.

[1475] I enjoy the process.

[1476] I'm enjoying this process.

[1477] Who knows what I will.

[1478] I will say is, with confidence, my life is so far removed from regular life.

[1479] You know, as you say, it's like being an animal in the zoo.

[1480] I feel like I'm so far detached as it is.

[1481] I could play any role.

[1482] And that helps me. So let's see.

[1483] Okay, so you reminded me of the first movie I ever did was without a paddle.

[1484] And I didn't know anything.

[1485] I didn't know how cameras worked.

[1486] I didn't know it supposed to stay in the same spot or that they did a wide and then we had to do it again.

[1487] I didn't know anything.

[1488] And I was like you.

[1489] I'm trying to be the best out of it.

[1490] And Bert Reynolds was in the movie.

[1491] Thank God.

[1492] And he pulled me aside a couple times.

[1493] He's like, I know you want to do this stunt.

[1494] they're not gonna see you you're gonna break your arm i broke my back in this movie no one could see me you know he was like helping me along but then he also told me this great fucking story he was friends with rocky marciano they were bros and he said one time they were sitting at a bar and they were hammered rocky is seated and bert gets up to go to the bathroom and he looks at rocky and he thinks i think if i just swung right now while he's sitting i think i could knock him out and he said as he was thinking it Rocky turned and he said Bert don't do this and he goes he goes you know what I was thinking he goes everyone around me will have that thought don't think that and it made me think of you and I was like do you have this sense that guys are just like yeah definitely definitely shit is this the moment I can you live with that little bit fuck it you know but do you have to experience that at all.

[1495] Whether you're a fighter or not, alcohol can make people like that, you know?

[1496] So it doesn't necessarily mean it's gross on my fighter, you know, people want to take a shot.

[1497] That's the way people are.

[1498] But here's the irony.

[1499] The irony is you get good at this so you can feel safe.

[1500] You want everyone to know, like, move to someone else.

[1501] It was an easier target.

[1502] It was almost to get left alone.

[1503] Yes.

[1504] So it kind of backfired a bit now because I want, never get left alone.

[1505] Yes.

[1506] I do have that at times, yeah.

[1507] Yes.

[1508] And I've done this so people to leave me to fuck alone.

[1509] Now I can't fucking go anywhere.

[1510] The irony of, you know what, I'm going to make it so clear that you're better off fucking with another person.

[1511] And then yet that in itself makes these random people feel like, well, I'd be a legend for life if I can knock this stranger out.

[1512] You kind of invite more...

[1513] Who would want to do that with you?

[1514] A million dudes I know from Michigan.

[1515] They would risk their life to have a story where they...

[1516] Oh, yeah.

[1517] They would risk their life for it.

[1518] They are risking their life for it.

[1519] Yeah, especially because I rock around with motherfuckers armed.

[1520] Yeah, we're not playing over here in the United States.

[1521] If America, I rocked around the logs to the shop, Don't give a fuck.

[1522] Don't mess in this country.

[1523] you know what I mean so that's it in Ireland probably not far out of here stay tuned for more armchair expert if you dare guys the movie kicks so much it has so much of the original DNA which of course I'm a huge huge fan of Connor you must feel flattered that not only was the first reverse nude scene so wonderful you can He keeps saying reverse, and they would like there's a front movie.

[1524] My Irish compatriot, Barry Cown, was butt -naked in one of his recent movies.

[1525] Frontal as hell.

[1526] Oh, we...

[1527] I love him.

[1528] Yeah, he's great good.

[1529] I know him well.

[1530] I know him since many years.

[1531] Do you?

[1532] No, Barry.

[1533] He's had a crazy story, right?

[1534] He's had a trouble doing all right.

[1535] But he's down very well.

[1536] He's a great actor.

[1537] Yeah, he's a great actor.

[1538] But he's done a bit of front.

[1539] I mean, I don't give a fuck.

[1540] Talk to me. But I got to say, the ultimate compliment is they were like, you know what?

[1541] That was so good.

[1542] Let's fucking end this movie with another.

[1543] That's how you know you've scored in a movie when they decide to put you in the last frame of the movie.

[1544] Yeah, that is true.

[1545] I didn't think of it like that.

[1546] I was just happy not to be wiped out and maybe there's an opportunity.

[1547] Well, as we educate you on this, let me just tell you, when they decide to go back to you with the titles.

[1548] It means you've done good.

[1549] That means you popped.

[1550] That's great, that is, yeah?

[1551] That's so good.

[1552] All right, well, boys, what is next?

[1553] Do you think now that you like it enough, you'll try to do it again?

[1554] Well, we've had no discussions about it.

[1555] You know, it's all still in the air.

[1556] I'm sure an offer will come, and I'm interested to see what it is.

[1557] Will we be bros?

[1558] Will we have a task?

[1559] You guys need to do the Rocky Apollo.

[1560] I'm so interested because there's some incredible writers out there that can really make magic.

[1561] And if there's a man that can make magic and two men, it's myself and Jake.

[1562] So we'd be excited to do something like that down the line.

[1563] I got to add one other thing I forgot to say is the gift you gave the writers, which is normally they would have had to spend 15 minutes on your character to establish why you would be a threat to a guy who was seemingly undefeated in the UFC and killed somebody.

[1564] We don't really know why you're as tough as you are, other than it's Connor fucking McCrary.

[1565] It's so meta.

[1566] I mean, that's the thing about the movie that's so great.

[1567] Meaning, it just exists outside of the actual storyline and inside the storyline.

[1568] That's also what makes the movie so fun is like you can't remake the OG original.

[1569] Well, this is where this movie's superior to the original.

[1570] Is that the bad guy in the original?

[1571] It's not you.

[1572] Patrick brings that movie home, but we don't have a comparable or equal as an adversary.

[1573] Yes.

[1574] And in this, we do.

[1575] We fall in love with you.

[1576] You don't want to be doing it.

[1577] And then he starts going crazy.

[1578] He's suicidal.

[1579] There's all these things about...

[1580] He starts going sinister.

[1581] He's torn when he starts going crazy and putting the thing in the back of the head.

[1582] That happens at the drop of a half.

[1583] Me and him are fighting, right?

[1584] And I'm beating him bad.

[1585] And at one stage I look at him like, what the fuck is up with this guy?

[1586] There's something wrong with this guy.

[1587] He's a psycho.

[1588] I looked at him like that.

[1589] Just not even part of the story or unbeknownst.

[1590] And then Doug Lyman jumps in, wait, way, way, wait, hold on.

[1591] That's it.

[1592] And then the whole thing shifts.

[1593] And then he becomes a bit evil.

[1594] And then I almost become the likable guy.

[1595] And it's just a weird fucking dynamic.

[1596] I was shocked.

[1597] That could happen in the making of a movie.

[1598] But stuff like that happens on Doug movies all the time.

[1599] That's what he does.

[1600] Even with Steve and Garrett, that first slap fight was just a punch fight.

[1601] They wanted to be kind of funny.

[1602] And I was like, oh, it's cool.

[1603] But what if I just slapped the shit out of all them?

[1604] And they were like, yes, we're going to redo that.

[1605] And so they just really re -choregraphed the whole thing for slaps.

[1606] But by the way, you're telling so much about your character in that moment to choose slapping.

[1607] It's like, you don't want to do this.

[1608] You're not a bravado tough guy trying to dominate people.

[1609] You have integrity.

[1610] The difference between you punching them and slapping them.

[1611] scenes.

[1612] So significant.

[1613] That your character has integrity.

[1614] Yeah, it's so good.

[1615] Yeah, it's so subtle and it can just be discovered and it's so powerful.

[1616] But the writers had, there are a couple columns of scenes that were always there that worked so well.

[1617] But then there was always room for play.

[1618] Even in the fighting, there was always room for play.

[1619] So we were re -choregraphing moments in the moment.

[1620] We'd have a shape of the fight.

[1621] And then we knew Doug wanted to shoot things in longer takes than just like cutting for angles.

[1622] And then we would do stuff and it wouldn't work.

[1623] And then we'd recalibrate and then he would come up with an idea.

[1624] We'd look back, oh, that looks better if I come over here.

[1625] Why don't I just throw a kick instead of a punch?

[1626] And why don't I give you an elbow and then I'll grab you?

[1627] And then we just do it.

[1628] So for me, I'm not the best with remembering choreography when I'd got to do it like an improv or someone told me, say the line like this, go now.

[1629] It was the same thing with the fights.

[1630] So the fights have that spirit.

[1631] Yeah.

[1632] We did that one take and it worked.

[1633] Okay, cool.

[1634] We did that.

[1635] It wasn't exactly how we choreographed it.

[1636] Let's move on.

[1637] Let's go to the next section.

[1638] We did that the whole time.

[1639] Just made it so much more enjoyable.

[1640] Sometimes you would hit a wall.

[1641] with the cardio, and he were like, right, I'm done.

[1642] And I'd be fucking exhausted also.

[1643] And when he's done that, he's the head.

[1644] I was like, yes, thank you.

[1645] Because a lot of these fights happened at night.

[1646] They happened in night.

[1647] And so we were shooting over a long -hand.

[1648] 4 a .m. I'd be like, guys, it's going to be dangerous.

[1649] And then where are you?

[1650] You need to be back now for the day shoot.

[1651] He was like 10 hours.

[1652] No, I work.

[1653] I work in January and then I work in July.

[1654] For 30 minutes.

[1655] That's exactly what he said.

[1656] He's like, he's like, I'm coming back tomorrow.

[1657] We're not finished.

[1658] I bought last night.

[1659] I'll see you in six.

[1660] It's so true.

[1661] It's so true.

[1662] You said that to me. You said that to me. How was the shoot?

[1663] It was between two or three months.

[1664] Oh, he was only supposed to be there for five weeks.

[1665] I was there for about 10 weeks all in.

[1666] So I doubled me out.

[1667] I actually shaved my beard.

[1668] Because I was like, all right, we done.

[1669] It was wrapped.

[1670] We had the fucking rap happy days.

[1671] And then I shaved their beard.

[1672] And then I start getting phone calls.

[1673] I'll come back.

[1674] We do one more thing.

[1675] I was like, sorry.

[1676] As you want to fucking for the story that I'm having the beard.

[1677] Well, you guys crushed it.

[1678] How nice is it to be out promoting something where you actually can be friends?

[1679] A hundred percent.

[1680] You can go back and full.

[1681] You don't need unsolicited advice, but I'm going to give it to you.

[1682] I think you're a very special person.

[1683] Thank you so much.

[1684] I'm 13 years further down the road than you, and you have the most special opportunity, which is like you've been building, building, building, and you're going to continue to build.

[1685] And at some point, you'll have built all the shit, and I think you'll find the joy in giving it away to people.

[1686] Not the things, but helping the other people get to build their shit.

[1687] And you have the most incredible opportunity because every boy loves you.

[1688] you.

[1689] You are the most masculine human being on planet Earth.

[1690] And if you choose to bring in the 12 -year -old sometimes, you give permission to all those boys to bring in their 12 -year -old.

[1691] And I hope you do that because you have the power.

[1692] You're so powerful.

[1693] Appreciate it.

[1694] I mean, thank you so much.

[1695] What would you say?

[1696] Would you say keep going to this industry and this business?

[1697] The more you are able to be honest about the vulnerabilities and fears you've had and the things that scare you and the humanness you have, I think it allows another boy to go, yeah, me too, man, I'm fucking afraid.

[1698] And I'm afraid of this.

[1699] And I'm not allowed to even say it or I'm a pussy.

[1700] So you're on this incredible ride.

[1701] You're really special.

[1702] And I think the more you choose to bring that in, that's a gift you could give.

[1703] You have the ear of so many boys that no one has.

[1704] And they're little.

[1705] And what you would tell your son, feel free to share that out loud everywhere you go, because it's really powerful.

[1706] Thank you, so.

[1707] Appreciate that, man. This has been such a pleasure, man. I didn't think I'd ever get to sit down and talk to you.

[1708] This is so fun.

[1709] Would you believe this is my first podcast?

[1710] It is.

[1711] It's a good one.

[1712] You know, I'm really liking the vibe, I have to say.

[1713] They're not like this.

[1714] I wouldn't say so.

[1715] I'm going to say something, actually, because I think the two of you are obviously just great human beings.

[1716] And what you bring out in people in your show is so special.

[1717] And I just love what you said and what you're doing every day.

[1718] It's good stuff.

[1719] Oh, thank you.

[1720] And I, like, really, it's really good stuff.

[1721] Right back at you.

[1722] Real recognize real.

[1723] I like the hard work.

[1724] It's so attractive.

[1725] Everyone here's so hot.

[1726] Let's just say it.

[1727] Let's just end on that.

[1728] This is a fucking smoke show.

[1729] They're bringing in the fire extinguishers in a minute.

[1730] All right.

[1731] Love you guys.

[1732] Good luck with Roadhouse.

[1733] It's spectacular.

[1734] It comes out March 21st on Amazon.

[1735] I know everyone's a little bummed by that.

[1736] I'm excited.

[1737] I think the most amount of people will see it.

[1738] I want everyone to see it.

[1739] You think it's better for streamer?

[1740] I think more people see it.

[1741] So it's like, again, isn't it really?

[1742] If you're in a position where you're trying to build some career in one box office data to demonstrate how much you should get paid, sure, I would want that for you.

[1743] But if you're an artist and you want the most amount of people to have a blast on a Friday night and watch this, this is it.

[1744] Yeah, deadly, love it.

[1745] I agree.

[1746] You know, when you think about it as a kid, I think about when I watched certain things on VHS, some of the things that I love the most that lasted.

[1747] I didn't see Roadhouse in the movie theater.

[1748] No, I saw a point break on VHS.

[1749] You feel like you own it.

[1750] You have like ownership.

[1751] A P -S.

[1752] And I think it doesn't take away from that experience of going to cinema because tonight, when we go...

[1753] No, I'm very glad I get to do both.

[1754] Yeah.

[1755] I can't wait to be in a room with those people watching this movie on a big screen.

[1756] It's going to be a party.

[1757] Let's go party, so...

[1758] I hope you paste yourself.

[1759] It's a little early.

[1760] Let's get you an A ball so that you're awake for the...

[1761] Started and ended on Coke.

[1762] I love it.

[1763] All right.

[1764] Good luck.

[1765] This is awesome.

[1766] Stay tuned for the fact check so you can hear all the facts that were wrong.

[1767] Ready almost?

[1768] I have a few more chews left.

[1769] Just a couple more bites.

[1770] These bars are very chewy.

[1771] Yeah, they are.

[1772] Which I like.

[1773] You know how I feel about too chewy.

[1774] Caramel.

[1775] Mm -hmm.

[1776] Not for me. Ding, ding, ding.

[1777] You have caramel bands on.

[1778] Yeah.

[1779] I was going to fight that, but you're right.

[1780] You have caramel skin.

[1781] That I'll fight.

[1782] Why?

[1783] It's not the appropriate color.

[1784] That's fair.

[1785] What would you prefer?

[1786] It's brown skin.

[1787] Brown skin.

[1788] My skin is brown.

[1789] Brown skin.

[1790] I'm talking about your brown skin.

[1791] I don't know where you stops and where mine begins.

[1792] What's that?

[1793] There's a beautiful song.

[1794] I feel very excluded about it because it's two brown skin lovers and they don't know where one starts and the other ends.

[1795] And you would know.

[1796] If you were brown skin, you're with me, it would be stark.

[1797] Like, oh, gross.

[1798] Yeah, you're not a part of that song.

[1799] Jesus, turn the lights down in here.

[1800] India Ari?

[1801] Yeah.

[1802] Oh, India Ari.

[1803] Go ahead hit us with a little bit of that.

[1804] There's also a brown skin girl.

[1805] Leon Bridges?

[1806] Leon Bridges song.

[1807] That is good.

[1808] Very good.

[1809] And I like that I think of myself.

[1810] And there's brown sugar.

[1811] Ooh.

[1812] I can't tell.

[1813] yours begins I can't tell where my head is Oh, okay Fuck Great Ding ding ding I virtually had the lyric It's probably been 15 years You did good I'll give it to you I mean not in its rendition But the lyrics were Yeah Ding ding ding ding India Ari India of the country Today we released Bill Gates's episode It's actually not Ding Ding ding Because that's not what this is for We're not redoing the fact check for an episode that came out this morning.

[1814] But I'm thinking about it.

[1815] Me too, because we got to post our little videos about it.

[1816] And do you know what Bill posted?

[1817] No. Do you want me to read it?

[1818] Yes, I'm scared.

[1819] You should be so scared.

[1820] Very scary.

[1821] It's always great to join at Doc Sheppard and at ML Padman for an episode of At Armature ExpertPod.

[1822] They're two of my favorite people.

[1823] Oh, man. Now, I posted that, and I put an arrow to that line.

[1824] Okay, great.

[1825] And I said, you said it, no takebacks.

[1826] You're good at this thing.

[1827] Life?

[1828] Yeah, well, life, but social media and emails.

[1829] Right.

[1830] The way you wrote to the best boy, classic.

[1831] I call that writing.

[1832] Yeah.

[1833] You're good at it, too.

[1834] I have an arena in which I'm good at it.

[1835] I don't know how great I am at it like on Instagram or stuff.

[1836] Like I can write pros and screenplays.

[1837] Don't you feel, I guess we're going to brag.

[1838] Today's a good episode to brag.

[1839] Why?

[1840] Because this is for Jake and Connor.

[1841] Oh, right.

[1842] And he is.

[1843] And Connor's all about.

[1844] He's made a career out of self -promotion.

[1845] That's right.

[1846] Yeah.

[1847] And he is.

[1848] Like he promotes self -promotion.

[1849] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1850] He talks about that and it's important.

[1851] It's like weird.

[1852] Like, well, it does fall into the thing I, I have said in the past, which is like there are certain people when they're ostentatious, I don't like it.

[1853] And there's certain people I really root for them when they're ostentatious.

[1854] Connor McGregor is from fucking Dublin 12.

[1855] Like, if he's out there showing off, you made it happen.

[1856] I like it.

[1857] Like, I can stomach it as opposed to like the child of a billionaire doing it.

[1858] Sure.

[1859] It's a little different.

[1860] Ding, ding, ding.

[1861] Bill.

[1862] India, India arena, brown skin.

[1863] Okay, bragging.

[1864] Okay.

[1865] I think writing is the only, now I'm going to say it, and it's going to backfire so bad.

[1866] Uh -oh.

[1867] But I think for me, personally, writing is the only place, it's the only arena that I feel confident.

[1868] I'm never going to write something bad.

[1869] Sure.

[1870] Yeah.

[1871] I might write something just fine or it'll be okay, but I don't ever worry that what I'm putting out there in writing is bad.

[1872] Yeah, yeah, I can relate to that.

[1873] Do you feel like that?

[1874] I thought you're going to go way further.

[1875] That's fine.

[1876] That's not, that's not too bragy.

[1877] Well, it's a little braggy.

[1878] It's braggy, but I can't say that about any other arena in my entire life.

[1879] It's just that.

[1880] I know that about myself.

[1881] Yeah, I would agree.

[1882] Like, I can do some bad acting.

[1883] I tell jokes that don't work.

[1884] I, uh, you know, fucking crash my charger.

[1885] Sometimes I wear bad outfits.

[1886] Sometimes, you know, it happens.

[1887] Yeah.

[1888] In the morning, I have bad breath.

[1889] I was not talking about it.

[1890] I think it's good to, good.

[1891] I sound like Aaron's uncle.

[1892] They sound like Christopher Walken.

[1893] No. I'm not seven.

[1894] And I sure is.

[1895] hell ain't four i'm 74 years old motherfucker wow it's a really interesting accent it's almost cajian it's almost southern yeah it's almost native american there's a lot yeah and he's a white gentleman with very long hair he looks like a biker yeah i think it was six though i'm not six and I sure is hell ain't four.

[1896] I'm 64 years old.

[1897] He is not to be confused with the person on the Ted Seegers.

[1898] Can, that's Aaron's dad.

[1899] Yeah, but his brother.

[1900] Aaron's dad's brother is this guy.

[1901] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1902] Also, Ted Segers is in Los Angeles.

[1903] It's here in L .A. Yes.

[1904] Very exciting.

[1905] Yes, at Boyson?

[1906] Is that how I pronounce it?

[1907] And I didn't know that until Laura posted it, which, I should have known that And I've been to that store You have?

[1908] Yeah, in the valley It's a good store Any, yeah I bought wine there Not for me Yeah, of course not But it's a beautiful store Yeah, yeah, I was I'm like overly thrilled by it That you, if you live in L, you could walk in there And buy a six -back It's really cool I mean, you should definitely go Okay And like, you know Take a picture?

[1909] Yeah, yeah, I should We've had a It's a very busy week.

[1910] We have.

[1911] Yeah.

[1912] But it's no excuse.

[1913] It's not an excuse, and it's a failing.

[1914] It's a failing on my end.

[1915] And talk about some writing I'm proud of.

[1916] Yeah.

[1917] Ted Seeger.

[1918] That weirdly is my favorite thing to write on.

[1919] It happens all the time.

[1920] Like, we'll have to write a deck.

[1921] We'll have to write a pitch to a bar.

[1922] You know, I have to write some posters to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

[1923] Yeah, fun.

[1924] They tell you what that one is?

[1925] No. Make sure you don't wake up next to a leprechaun, Ted Seagers.

[1926] Oh, that's fun.

[1927] That's so funny.

[1928] I love it.

[1929] Great.

[1930] I like the image of waking up next to a leprecha.

[1931] Oh, my God.

[1932] It's so tiny.

[1933] Are they?

[1934] They're tiny, right?

[1935] Yeah, they're real miniature.

[1936] Yeah.

[1937] They're at the ends of the rainbow there with a pot of gold.

[1938] They're rich.

[1939] Maybe you should wake up next to a leprechaun because they're rich.

[1940] It's just like interspecies breeding's bad.

[1941] Yeah, sure.

[1942] That should be avoided.

[1943] Unless it's a male, no, of, yes, a female human and a male dolphin.

[1944] That's the only one we've approved.

[1945] I have not approved that.

[1946] You keep kind of rope me in.

[1947] The woman wants to have a relationship with the male dolphin.

[1948] It's still not okay.

[1949] And the male dolphin is not a victim.

[1950] Women can take advantage too.

[1951] I'm not going to sign on.

[1952] Of a male dolphin?

[1953] Yes.

[1954] They'd fuck a pile of wood hoping there was a snake in there.

[1955] No. Dolphins are almost like humans.

[1956] Yeah, they're perverts like humans.

[1957] Yeah.

[1958] Humans without any of the societal pressure to not.

[1959] be perverts.

[1960] Yeah, they're gross.

[1961] They're so cute and then they're not.

[1962] They're not really cute.

[1963] That's what's weird.

[1964] There was, well, they're very cute.

[1965] Everyone's decided, like, okay, we, we place them in the category of cute animals.

[1966] Flipper.

[1967] That's probably why.

[1968] Yeah, I guess.

[1969] It's just like when you really try to remove yourself from your programming about cute animals.

[1970] Yeah.

[1971] They're not.

[1972] Objectively look at that.

[1973] Well, no. Dolphins look like they're smiling.

[1974] The corners of their mouth kind of tilt up like they're smiling because they're sickos you know because they just blasted some human exactly some happy human um do smiling dolphin they they're crazy cute but it's so hard to know what's what these days but remember there was the fucking video of the ones in a river in south america and the the dolphin was on its back and do you remember this rob and he was like I don't think so.

[1975] He was fucking, I think he was fucking a dead anaconda or something.

[1976] It was so, I think I didn't remember this.

[1977] You remember this?

[1978] Yeah, we talked about it on here.

[1979] Yes, it was so extreme, the horniness of this thing.

[1980] It was like trying to pump on an anaconda and its dong was hanging out and stuff.

[1981] Okay.

[1982] It was at full attention.

[1983] I just think there's absolutely no way you can look at this.

[1984] That little puppy, cute little Dalmatian.

[1985] And then think it's the same category as a...

[1986] It's a dolphin?

[1987] Dolphin.

[1988] I think dolphins are very cute.

[1989] Does it bother you?

[1990] This is a statue, this cute thing.

[1991] It did not look like a real dog to me. I was like, that's either AI or a product, and it was the latter.

[1992] Does it bother you when animals have those pink penises?

[1993] Yes.

[1994] Yeah.

[1995] Why is that?

[1996] It's like their insides are out or something.

[1997] Well, you mean the red rocket?

[1998] Yeah, this is disgusting.

[1999] It's very troubling.

[2000] Yes.

[2001] And then the dolphin penis is so.

[2002] so troubling.

[2003] It's like pink and human skin.

[2004] Ugh.

[2005] Yeah.

[2006] It's because they don't have control over it.

[2007] It feels like it feels dangerous.

[2008] It feels like the insides of their bodies are pouring out.

[2009] I want their penises to be that nice silver gray color that the rest of their body is.

[2010] Um, yeah.

[2011] That'd be preferred.

[2012] At least a horse.

[2013] Our inside are different colors.

[2014] They are, but a horse dick is very consistent with their belly skin.

[2015] Like a horse dick's still dark as hell.

[2016] But is that because there's hair all over it?

[2017] No, it's the skin itself is It's dark.

[2018] It's not like bright pink.

[2019] Well, what about white horses?

[2020] Oh, type in white horse penis.

[2021] No, I'm not.

[2022] Why?

[2023] I'm not.

[2024] Do you think the law will come and get you?

[2025] I don't want to look at animal penises.

[2026] I don't think I want to see that.

[2027] You do.

[2028] It's not pink.

[2029] Stop, you're being.

[2030] A red ragged looks like at your skin.

[2031] It was like peeled off.

[2032] So just imagine your penis with its skin off.

[2033] Yes, it looks internal.

[2034] It looks like I'm looking inside the body.

[2035] It's dark.

[2036] It's dark.

[2037] The white horse.

[2038] She's got a big dark penis.

[2039] So it's not the same color.

[2040] They have such enormous penises.

[2041] Ew, look at the, ew.

[2042] Actually, it's kind of pink again.

[2043] Yeah, see, it's pink.

[2044] They're all, ew, this one, this one I like.

[2045] This is very pink.

[2046] Is this another statue?

[2047] No, that's real.

[2048] What was the statue of a horse with his penis?

[2049] Okay, a lot of animals have pink dicks.

[2050] Yeah.

[2051] It's weird.

[2052] I want it to match the rest of their skin color.

[2053] But a lot of, I mean, I think don't like white men's penises air on pinkish?

[2054] Like, they could be pink.

[2055] No, my penis is completely consistent with my normal skin color.

[2056] And it gets darker where the foreskin used to be.

[2057] Yeah, mine too.

[2058] But I've heard of people having miscolored penises.

[2059] You have in your travels.

[2060] Bobby Lee famously talks about his being like purple.

[2061] Oh, really?

[2062] Yeah, I've seen a pink one Oh I've seen a pink one Oh really?

[2063] Like pink like a dog's That's red I guess Like bright Kind of like brightish pink Oh my goodness It's kind of cool Yeah It's rare Yeah Limited dish Let's clean it up Yeah Sorry guys Sorry Although if you made it through this episode Sorry not sorry It's the right episode For this You're right But I'm sorry Bill Oh but this isn't his episode You know But we were talking Okay, okay.

[2064] Oh, but there was something that came up during the Dolphin debate of 2024.

[2065] Which was my daughter went on a field trip to the L .A. Zoo.

[2066] Okay.

[2067] Oh, because I know, because I was saying, why do we think they're cute?

[2068] I think largely because of media.

[2069] So Flipper was a very popular show.

[2070] Right.

[2071] And so she went to the L .A. Zoo and they were tasked with, like, kind of writing down pros and cons of, like, the experience of the animals, I guess, like, whether it was a good or bad thing or if it's ethical.

[2072] which is great let's have the debate interesting yeah and of course my knee jerk is to get nervous that everything's so lefty yeah you are very nervous about that i am i mean look they go to a very very liberal school which is which i like but what i was nervous about is just that like zoos would be bad because like everything's bad needs to stop and so i was trying to explain to her the history of the orca the killer whale which was like there was no hunting regulations on killer whales.

[2073] There is no protection, you know, governmental or otherwise, until SeaWorld.

[2074] The SeaWorld, which is, you know, blackfish, if you've seen that, of course, it's, I'm not arguing, it's not terrible for the orca that's at SeaWorld.

[2075] But also what is undeniable is that Shamu changed the image of the, the Orca.

[2076] Prior to that, there was no appetite to get any regulations to protect these animals and then America fell in love with Shamu right and then we get all this legislation to prevent them from being hunted yeah so you know it's just very utilitarian argument it's like yeah it's not great to keep not not even it's not great it's bad to keep an orca in a swimming pool it's terrible yeah it's terrible but if the orca suffering in the swimming pool saved all orcas that's a compelling um but no because that's that then I want to go see Shamu, and I want to go to more water parks like this that have captive animals.

[2077] And when there's a business around it, it's going to make more and more capture.

[2078] But what I'm saying is without Shamu, they would have been still the killer whale.

[2079] We would have not fallen in love with them and seen that they're cute and smart.

[2080] So there would have been no legislation.

[2081] They probably would have been hunted to extinction.

[2082] So like Shamu saved, I think most people would agree with this even in the.

[2083] zoological world.

[2084] Shammu saved the orca.

[2085] So that's like a, that's a relevant part of the whole thing.

[2086] And so what's weird is like a zoo, clearly not how an elephant should be living.

[2087] Elephant's supposed to walk hundreds of miles a day.

[2088] It's a migratory animal.

[2089] It's heartbreaking that they would be in there.

[2090] But if people don't see those animals, they also tend to not care and they don't vote for legislation and they don't donate money and try to save animals.

[2091] So it's like, it's weird that there might be a sacrificial lot that is ultimately better for the whole population.

[2092] That's, you know, it's a, minimally, it's a complicated situation.

[2093] It's not just, is it good or bad to have zoos?

[2094] It's like, you need the will of the people to protect them and you need them to have experienced them and know they're real and care about them.

[2095] So it's like, it's, you know, it's complicated.

[2096] Sure.

[2097] Yeah.

[2098] I guess you could argue, though.

[2099] Like, if I was, if I was listening to me right now, this is the argument I would mount.

[2100] that is probably true up until the you know even into the 60s and 70s but now you have animal planet in nature shows so kids do see and fall in love with animals we don't necessarily need them in the zoo i don't think there should be any more zoos no well here's another thing you could also make a democratizing argument which is like 99 % of americans 99 .9 % are never going to have the resources to see any of these majestic animals in their real life?

[2101] Like for the kid from the inner city, they're not going to go and see any of these animals.

[2102] If they don't get to see them at the zoo, they'll never be able to see that kind of animal.

[2103] But that's okay.

[2104] Is it?

[2105] Yeah.

[2106] And that's actually, to me, the problem is it's like, this is an opportunity for people to see them.

[2107] It's just going to spur on more and more business around it, which is going to cause more and more of these animals.

[2108] that should not be in these environments to be in these environments and it's a, that's a problem to make a business out of like...

[2109] Well, let's just be clear.

[2110] If it were super profitable to start up zoos, yeah, I think that would be an issue, but all these zoos are municipalities.

[2111] Sea world?

[2112] Not sea world, not sea world.

[2113] But I'm saying...

[2114] The L .A. Zoo, the San Diego Zoo, these are all city owned and they lose money and they're there to let children get to see these animals.

[2115] Yeah, I don't think it's a right.

[2116] Like, I don't think it's a human right.

[2117] to like get to be able to see those animals.

[2118] I don't think it's a right.

[2119] I don't think it's more important for a human to be able to see it than I don't even an animal person.

[2120] But I don't think it's more imperative for a human to be able to see an animal than for that animal to be able to exist in its environment.

[2121] Yeah.

[2122] So, Jake, we said he has been in 75 movies.

[2123] According to his IMDB.

[2124] Seven.

[2125] Seven plus five.

[2126] 12 12?

[2127] No. No. Of course not.

[2128] Well, you never know.

[2129] There's some actors that have been in like a really shockingly slim number of movies.

[2130] As an actor, it says 61.

[2131] Okay.

[2132] Now, do you know staff infection is spelled S -T -A -P -H?

[2133] I just learned it.

[2134] Hmm.

[2135] Well, I know.

[2136] I don't know that.

[2137] I don't know that.

[2138] New information.

[2139] S -T -A -P -H.

[2140] Stephanie.

[2141] It's short for Stephanie.

[2142] Yeah.

[2143] Exactly.

[2144] A name that used to be popular.

[2145] Before staff infection.

[2146] That's right.

[2147] That's why we haven't heard of it in a long time.

[2148] Staff infections are caused by staphaloccus bacteria.

[2149] Very common in hospitals, right?

[2150] Yeah, and very common on the wrestling mat.

[2151] Which we use wrestling mats for cheerleading.

[2152] Right.

[2153] And so we were always like how to be really careful about staff.

[2154] staff infection.

[2155] Because the wrestlers, like, had it and it was gross.

[2156] I mean, so we had to wipe.

[2157] We didn't know we had to wipe.

[2158] How do you know you guys were tainting those?

[2159] We didn't have it.

[2160] We're clean, hot and clean.

[2161] Cheerleaders are hot and clean.

[2162] Actually.

[2163] That is not true.

[2164] Yes, it is.

[2165] Okay.

[2166] It's true.

[2167] Ooh, it says often found on the skin or in the nose.

[2168] Is it not a bit of an umbrella term?

[2169] Is there a bunch of different kinds of staff?

[2170] Infections?

[2171] I think it's a big umbrella.

[2172] I don't think so.

[2173] I mean, maybe.

[2174] Is this always the same exact?

[2175] No, there's, oh, there's like MRSA.

[2176] That's a type of staff.

[2177] So, yeah.

[2178] There's, I guess.

[2179] There's different strains.

[2180] Yeah, there we go.

[2181] Strings.

[2182] But boils, blisters.

[2183] That'll come from a staff.

[2184] It can cause food poisoning.

[2185] Oh.

[2186] That doesn't make sense, but that's what it says.

[2187] Okay.

[2188] It says in rare cases it can turn deadly if the bacteria invade deeper into the body or under the bloodstream, resulting in fever, joint, and muscle pain.

[2189] I feel like I had it.

[2190] I wonder if I've ever had it.

[2191] You would know.

[2192] You'd have to take an antibiotic for it.

[2193] You know, I always think this.

[2194] Like, once in a blue moon, I'll have to take an antibiotic because, like, I'll have surgery.

[2195] And then I do wonder in those times, like, am I knocking out some stuff I didn't even know I had?

[2196] Like, I almost think, I mean, there's a big campaign to not take antibiotics because then you get super bugs.

[2197] Right.

[2198] Let's shelve that for half a second.

[2199] Sure.

[2200] It also kills your microbiome.

[2201] Yeah, it's not good for you.

[2202] But fuck all that, table all that.

[2203] Just every four years, just do a cycle to make sure in case you got some staff or this or that.

[2204] Like, nothing's like, you know, accumulating.

[2205] Okay.

[2206] I don't think that's good advice.

[2207] Okay, great.

[2208] I guess I'm grateful when I, I never want to take one.

[2209] And I'm also the type of person that when they're prescribed, I generally don't take them.

[2210] But I do, of course, for surgeries, you have to.

[2211] Yeah, you must.

[2212] But when I have to take them, I think, oh, this is good.

[2213] In case I have any other kinds of.

[2214] kind of infection.

[2215] I'm fine taking them.

[2216] Yeah, you like them.

[2217] Apparently pneumonia is a type of staph infection.

[2218] And like food poisoning, boil.

[2219] That's what I just said.

[2220] Yeah, yeah, there's a whole bunch.

[2221] Boils are, those are just, those are the symptoms.

[2222] The skin one's just one of TSS.

[2223] I'm glad I haven't had a boil.

[2224] No shade to anyone that's got boils, but that just, the word, it's one of these, diseases like peronis which i have so i can make fun of that one sure where they didn't do the disease any favors by naming it boil it's like your skin's boiling yes i know it's like a descriptor imprint member impet i thought it was called oh my god what did they named diarrhea yuck stinky yuck i kind of prefer it you would i mean diarrhea is a horrible word it's a horrible word back to ding ding ding we love when bill gates has to say it because it sounds exactly And though this isn't Phil's.

[2225] I know, but he shouldn't have to say that word ever.

[2226] But in the documentary, he had to see it so many times.

[2227] He has to say it a lot because he disseminated the rotavirus vaccine and saved all these people.

[2228] Okay.

[2229] I always thought it was infantigo.

[2230] Impentago.

[2231] It's impetigo.

[2232] Impetigo.

[2233] Oh, my God.

[2234] This is new information.

[2235] I hate to tell you why I know that.

[2236] You had it.

[2237] As a kid.

[2238] Impetigo.

[2239] I had impetago on my nose.

[2240] And it was assumed, I don't know why anyone knew this, but it was assumed I got it swimming in my grandparents' motel pool.

[2241] Sick.

[2242] Yep.

[2243] Is that a kind of staff infection?

[2244] Then you've had a staff infection.

[2245] Oh, wow.

[2246] Then I did.

[2247] Impentego.

[2248] No, impetigo.

[2249] Okay.

[2250] And I thought it was infantigo, infantigo.

[2251] Yeah, and I thought it was infantigo.

[2252] You thought it was impetago Impataigo Oh my god Now I can't remember what I thought it was Infantigo Yeah when I was a kid I had impen tago That's how it sounds I ever tell you about my impetago I haven't bro Oh fuck grab a beer dude Yeah I totally You know my grandma's had a motel right On the highway Oh god I lived in it man And I got fucking impantago It sounds Italian Did it?

[2253] Did it hurt?

[2254] Yeah, I got like a scab on my nose.

[2255] Do you remember it?

[2256] Yeah, I actually do.

[2257] I hated it.

[2258] I was like, why don't I have a scab on my nose?

[2259] I didn't scrape it.

[2260] Or maybe I scraped it on the side of the pool and then I got Impantago.

[2261] I don't know.

[2262] But fuck.

[2263] It was embarrassing.

[2264] And it was a gross one.

[2265] It was.

[2266] I think my brother was grossed out.

[2267] Well, yeah, they're fluid -filled blisters or sores and they leave a yellow or brown crust.

[2268] Fuck, yeah.

[2269] And the family knew.

[2270] I knew it was gross.

[2271] I knew I had a gross thing.

[2272] Family new.

[2273] doing anything wrong.

[2274] I went swimming.

[2275] I was just a little boy.

[2276] It wasn't like I was with a prostitute or anything or doing drugs.

[2277] If you're with a prostitute, it's good.

[2278] It's great.

[2279] It's good for you.

[2280] No judgments.

[2281] And if you get impetigo, it's great.

[2282] It's gorgeous.

[2283] Oh my God.

[2284] So you took antibiotics for that.

[2285] I don't remember that part.

[2286] I remember my grandmother's scraping this scab off my nose.

[2287] Yeah.

[2288] Why?

[2289] Why?

[2290] And then adding, like, alcohol or rubbing or fucking.

[2291] Oh, she messed it all up.

[2292] It's lucky I don't have a humongous scar.

[2293] And maybe I do.

[2294] No, you, I think we.

[2295] You never saw this scar, Minos, bro?

[2296] Yeah, from my Infantago.

[2297] Did I tell you about that?

[2298] Grab a beer.

[2299] Grab a beer.

[2300] Light up.

[2301] Let's talk.

[2302] Okay.

[2303] Well, I want to stop talking about this.

[2304] Infantago.

[2305] Yeah.

[2306] That is nice, though.

[2307] You had an acorn.

[2308] I did.

[2309] You thought it was Infantigo.

[2310] Because you thought, what, infants got it?

[2311] I think.

[2312] Yeah.

[2313] And I wasn't, I was not an infant, but I was not, I was still a boy.

[2314] How old were you?

[2315] Probably eight.

[2316] Oh.

[2317] Yeah.

[2318] White hair and scabs on my nose.

[2319] Too many freckles.

[2320] Smelt like shit, had diarrhea.

[2321] You did?

[2322] No, I just trying to paint it really bad.

[2323] You probably did from the infant I go.

[2324] I never ever really had it when I was a kid.

[2325] I mean, I did occasionally when I had the flu.

[2326] Of course you did.

[2327] You just don't remember it.

[2328] There's no way.

[2329] Oh, wait, I wonder.

[2330] I developed like a gluten allergy and didn't know it.

[2331] I told you that, like, when I stopped actually eating gluten, we used to talk about it all the time.

[2332] I had a Lucy Goosey several times a week.

[2333] Yeah.

[2334] And I have not had it in like two years.

[2335] Yes, you have.

[2336] What are you talking about?

[2337] Sometimes you text me about your diarrhea, so I know you have it more than.

[2338] I've maybe had it once or twice in two years.

[2339] Well, it's been shocking.

[2340] The number's gone down.

[2341] By 99 .9%.

[2342] Where I had just thought my intestinal fortitude and disposition was that, that created that.

[2343] Yeah.

[2344] No, it was gluten.

[2345] I don't want to, I'm mad about that.

[2346] Of course.

[2347] I am too.

[2348] I want you to eat pizzas.

[2349] Tim Tams.

[2350] Tim Tams and lasagna.

[2351] Oh, yeah, Big Macs.

[2352] I was talking with Lincoln about Big Macs yesterday.

[2353] I was saying deathbed.

[2354] I might have two or three.

[2355] Then I was telling her this funny thing where, At some point, Chris and I had the same Postmates account.

[2356] Uh -huh.

[2357] We only had one account in the households for whatever reason.

[2358] And when she would go out of town, this happened a couple times where she was out of town.

[2359] And then we were talking and she said, who'd you have over for dinner last night?

[2360] And I go, I didn't have anyone over for dinner.

[2361] She's like, you clearly had someone over for dinner.

[2362] You spent $33 at McDonald's.

[2363] Oh.

[2364] And you got two Big Mac value.

[2365] and a 20 piece nuggets.

[2366] And that was for me. All for you.

[2367] Occasionally if she would travel, I'd put the kids to bed and I'd go, let's go.

[2368] And I would get the two full meals with the extra sauce and the extra cheese and a 20 piece nuggets.

[2369] And I'd sit in front of the TV at my old house.

[2370] Would you eat it all?

[2371] Yeah, I'd get hired.

[2372] Yeah.

[2373] So I was saying it might be my deathbed meal because I won't ever have to pay the price.

[2374] Yeah, that's true.

[2375] Of the gluten.

[2376] It's weird.

[2377] Because, like, you're much bigger than me, obviously.

[2378] But your stomach can't be that much bigger than mine.

[2379] It can't be.

[2380] You're right.

[2381] Like, how I could never do that.

[2382] And not because I wouldn't want to, but I physically would not be able to.

[2383] But I am virtually to exercise, weight -wise.

[2384] But I wouldn't be able to eat.

[2385] You could eat a Big Mac value meal in 10 nuggets.

[2386] Yeah, if you wanted to get high.

[2387] It would be very hard.

[2388] Yeah.

[2389] That's not hard for me at all.

[2390] Well, of course, that's not.

[2391] That would make sense to me. No, no, the order I get.

[2392] Really?

[2393] The two value meals and the 20 piece, that's not hard at all.

[2394] How much?

[2395] I'm loving it down to the last nugget.

[2396] I mean, but I guess it's, maybe it's all, I don't know, because, like, I could eat a whole pizza.

[2397] Exactly.

[2398] It's like, what are your Achilles?

[2399] Hmm.

[2400] But you could baby three whole pizzas?

[2401] Two.

[2402] I could eat two.

[2403] I always ate a whole pizza on my own when I still ate pizza.

[2404] Yeah.

[2405] I'd always order my own.

[2406] And then I would get into other people's as they didn't finish.

[2407] I want pizza.

[2408] What I can really go down crazy?

[2409] Have you ever seen me eat chili dogs?

[2410] Coney Islands.

[2411] I've been with you once, but I don't remember.

[2412] I'll eat six or eight.

[2413] Wow.

[2414] Yeah.

[2415] And I used to go with my friend Tim Lovestad to Sizzler, and we would have chicken wing eating contests.

[2416] And I'd eat like 28 of those wings.

[2417] But contest, okay, that's like a different.

[2418] you're right you're right i'm just thinking about like average yeah not to win anything just to make yourself happy and yeah i would eat a whole and a half pizza for sure i'm having a pizza tonight i'm so jealous dominoes maybe extra sauce extra cheese extra crispy thin and crispy thin and crispy yeah thinner the better it's a good pie it's two really good free commercials we just did i know okay and for impontago Yes.

[2419] Also, if you're the proprietor of an impontagio dispensary, you're...

[2420] In antibiotics, turns out we're pro, which...

[2421] You're not supposed to be, but we are.

[2422] Not supposed to be.

[2423] Okay.

[2424] Patrick Swayze, yes, he did gymnastics.

[2425] He did swimming.

[2426] He did football.

[2427] He was offered an athletic and dance scholarship.

[2428] Yeah, I think he did ballet, too.

[2429] Yeah, well, dance.

[2430] San...

[2431] Ooh.

[2432] He enrolled in San Jacinto.

[2433] How are you spelling that?

[2434] J -A -C -I -N -T -O.

[2435] San Wakinto.

[2436] San Wakinto.

[2437] You think so?

[2438] I do.

[2439] With the C?

[2440] Yeah.

[2441] Huh, wouldn't it be?

[2442] Oh, maybe.

[2443] I think it's San Wakinto.

[2444] You're lying.

[2445] No, I'm not.

[2446] I really believe that.

[2447] You just made a smiley face.

[2448] Well, because it sounds ridiculous that I'm saying San Wakinto with such confidence.

[2449] But Rob's going to let us, yeah, here we go.

[2450] Assinto.

[2451] Hasinto.

[2452] What?

[2453] You were talking.

[2454] We are looking at how to pronounce this name as well as I have to say more interesting, but sometimes confusing.

[2455] Pause.

[2456] Pause.

[2457] Pause.

[2458] Everything he's saying already sounds wrong.

[2459] So how are we going to trust this?

[2460] You have to pick a different one?

[2461] No, but he said, he still, it was the way he pronounced the J. And the next thing.

[2462] Better allergy relief.

[2463] Hasinto.

[2464] Hasinto.

[2465] Hacinto.

[2466] Hacinto.

[2467] He all more videos on.

[2468] Oh my gosh I don't think that was very helpful Okay No it is though because I read that As I said you see there's San Jacinto Or San Jacinto and that is what he's saying Jacinto He's saying Hasinto So San Joaquinto He's saying no Hands he's saying No Keep it fun, it's so fun I want to finish this sentence Houston Texas Where he focused on gymnastics gymnastics What if that was a way to, like, butch it was a way to, like, butcher it up for boys.

[2469] I thought it was too effeminate.

[2470] Actually, this is, I don't do gymnastics.

[2471] I do himnastics.

[2472] This is such a ding, ding, ding.

[2473] Okay.

[2474] What we just fell into is such a ding, ding, ding.

[2475] Okay.

[2476] We went to the Roadhouse premiere.

[2477] Yes.

[2478] After we recorded this episode, we went to the Roadhouse premiere.

[2479] you moderated a panel afterwards.

[2480] With all the actors.

[2481] With the actors, yeah.

[2482] And before you went up there, you said, I'm going to say, I'm going to introduce him as Yake Yelenhall.

[2483] Yay, thank you.

[2484] I've been begging to say it for a week.

[2485] I said, don't do that.

[2486] And he said, I'm going to.

[2487] And then you did.

[2488] And everyone laughed.

[2489] And then you tried to get me to say it for a while and I didn't.

[2490] But now it's sort of like San Jacinto.

[2491] Yes, or gymnastics.

[2492] Hypnastics.

[2493] Yakinhal.

[2494] It's just so fun to say.

[2495] Did you have fun just now when you said it?

[2496] Um, no. Rob, are you willing to say it?

[2497] I like Yake Yelan Hall.

[2498] Yeah.

[2499] Like, it's a big shock to get Rob to say, Yake Yillan Hall.

[2500] That's not the point.

[2501] I just want to know if he enjoyed saying it.

[2502] Because it feels good to me to go, Yake Yilling Hall.

[2503] Well, I said it.

[2504] You heard it.

[2505] Thank you.

[2506] That was for you.

[2507] That was January 2nd.

[2508] You got that covered now.

[2509] You don't have to give me a present next year.

[2510] Um, okay, he said UFC is the fourth biggest sport.

[2511] He said it's bigger than hockey or...

[2512] He did say that.

[2513] The only thing that would make that hard to measure is...

[2514] Yeah, which is relevant, but I would just imagine the, their hurdle would be frequency.

[2515] Like, there's 62 or 78 hockey games a year.

[2516] How many are there, Rob?

[2517] Take it 80.

[2518] 80.

[2519] So you're like, you're multiplying 50 teams times 80 games.

[2520] For the viewership.

[2521] So it's kind of, but maybe it just means attendance or single event viewing is bigger.

[2522] I don't know how you'd quantify that.

[2523] But there's UFC fight nights that aren't pay -per -view and...

[2524] That are on weekly?

[2525] Yeah, I think they're weekly.

[2526] Just on any given night, aren't there 20 hockey games on?

[2527] Yeah, yeah, there's 82 games a season and a lot of teams.

[2528] 30 teams?

[2529] Yeah.

[2530] I mean, I can't look it up because last time we looked it up, remember, you didn't agree with it.

[2531] Hockey was weird in the list.

[2532] Which one?

[2533] Remember I did a list and you did that.

[2534] Oh, worldwide, yes, and like, oh, it was because lawn hockey was on there.

[2535] Field hockey.

[2536] Something was.

[2537] Is that field hockey was like the third biggest sport in the world?

[2538] Yeah, I mean.

[2539] And we did just mean an Australian who played field hockey in high school.

[2540] Yeah, and I also heard about somebody else who did that.

[2541] Okay, five most popular sports in the world based on global participation in viewership include soccer.

[2542] Number one.

[2543] Basketball, cricket, tennis, and field hockey.

[2544] it's here again different so yeah talk about being in a bubble i mean i have i can't even picture what that looks like and they're saying this is the fifth most popular and then a different one is saying soccer cricket field hockey tennis volleyball um no NFL yeah these are worldwide no i know i know no no no i know i think his claim was for america but what I said, I misled you just now.

[2545] I do think you can count the viewers that are outside of the U .S. for the most popular U .S. sport.

[2546] That's what I meant.

[2547] Like if, like, say, nobody's watching hockey internationally, but UFC is global, but it's a sport in America.

[2548] So I do think you should count those viewers.

[2549] That's what I meant about worldwide.

[2550] So as most popular team sports in the U .S. are American football.

[2551] Well, team.

[2552] It's not a team sport.

[2553] Oh.

[2554] Yeah.

[2555] Hmm.

[2556] Okay.

[2557] Most popular sport.

[2558] Well, that's biggest sports in the U .S. Individual sports.

[2559] I mean, it's different.

[2560] Individual sports, golf.

[2561] Sure.

[2562] Boxing.

[2563] I don't think boxing is bigger than UFC.

[2564] I don't know what to tell you.

[2565] Not anymore.

[2566] I don't think it is.

[2567] Yeah, I don't know.

[2568] That's what it says on Wikipedia.

[2569] I know.

[2570] I know.

[2571] I accept what you're reading to me. I don't accept that boxing is bigger than UFC.

[2572] despite the claim on Wikipedia I know that's frustrating It sure is Yeah do you want from statistics and data .org Oh, so many fucking...

[2573] It's an org It's a good one.

[2574] Yeah So football, number one Then basketball, baseball, boxing, hockey, soccer.

[2575] Do you think they're counting UFC in boxing?

[2576] MMA is here at 16 .7%.

[2577] What's that place at number seven or eight?

[2578] Eight.

[2579] Well, I think it's hard to because those pay -per -view, like certain pay -per -view events for UFC are huge.

[2580] Yeah.

[2581] I think that will pass viewership for like any given NHL game.

[2582] Is it viewership or is it money?

[2583] Or is it attendance?

[2584] There's probably a lot of ways to measure it.

[2585] Yeah, I mean, according to top end sports, one is motorsports.

[2586] Well, NASCAR.

[2587] Two tennis, three golf, four wrestling, five skiing.

[2588] Yeah, if you went attendance, NASCAR, I can't.

[2589] Man, there's like...

[2590] It's too complicated.

[2591] There is, because there's multiple games on a football Sunday.

[2592] But I just want to point out, there are races where there's 250 ,000 fans.

[2593] Okay, well, this according, this is for Pew.

[2594] Oh, is someone plet around?

[2595] What's America's sport?

[2596] Far more U .S. adults say football than anything else.

[2597] Okay, percent of U .S. adults who say blank is America sport.

[2598] That's kind of an interesting way of looking at it.

[2599] I mean, there's just one metric, I guess.

[2600] Football is far and above.

[2601] Then baseball, basketball, soccer, auto racing.

[2602] Then hockey and then something else.

[2603] Something else.

[2604] Well, baseball used to be America's pastime, right?

[2605] It was like an official slogan.

[2606] Baseball Chevrolet's apple pie.

[2607] That's right.

[2608] Honda.

[2609] Impantago.

[2610] Ew, what, I...

[2611] Puse.

[2612] Who has Impego?

[2613] Puse.

[2614] Oh, who's impentega?

[2615] It's not impetago.

[2616] That's what I call.

[2617] And I've had it.

[2618] This is kind of like, I'm an ethnicity.

[2619] Oh, my God.

[2620] Yeah, this is a very rare situation.

[2621] Oh, no, no one would prefer that.

[2622] Sounds horrible.

[2623] More than impetigo.

[2624] No, it's impataigo.

[2625] Impatio.

[2626] Fuse.

[2627] Fuck, some plethora.

[2628] Stop.

[2629] This guy has pletero.

[2630] Stop.

[2631] Head to toe.

[2632] Head to taggo.

[2633] This is what happens.

[2634] It's probably already obvious to the listener, but fuck if we had a long week.

[2635] We've been a long week, and this is the finish line.

[2636] Okay, he says the quote, I'll make you so much money, you could swim in it.

[2637] That's from Rocky Five.

[2638] He loved his Rocky movies.

[2639] Yeah, he would.

[2640] Sure, of course.

[2641] I was just going to open up the door.

[2642] I'm fine, I will.

[2643] Okay.

[2644] Um, ass cheeks clenching.

[2645] Because that's the whole thing with Swayze and the movie.

[2646] And like, is it hot?

[2647] Not really.

[2648] I'm just going to.

[2649] Did you watch the scene?

[2650] No, I just mean, yeah, we've watched it on here.

[2651] Oh, I just meant like, have you touched.

[2652] Yeah, to see if you like it.

[2653] I haven't rewatched it in a minute, but you've played it a lot.

[2654] Uh -huh.

[2655] Yeah.

[2656] I mean, I don't, I don't think so.

[2657] The butt looks better.

[2658] unclenched is my vote me too and i wonder why he did that because it's kind of like it's kind of like he was trying to squeeze in a fart it didn't read as that to me because he was alone by himself in a room so he would have just let it go no sometimes i hold him in by yourself oh my god here we go buns of steel let's see are they allowed to show it on um and youtube they are of course funds there's Q and on on okay oh she looks oh there is someone else they have like slowed down they're missing the end of that scene there's a clench as he puts his pants on fuck I hope I'm not imagining the clinch oh no oh my god let's see well yeah I don't think you're gonna be else see I'm gonna have to put the film in tonight that's what I'm gonna do perfect excuse to rewatch his butt looks great though there's no two ways about that it's like it's clenched though when he's walking yeah it does I think he's clenching it yeah he's clenching it while he walks so is that what you mean maybe I need to watch the phone I want to put a pin in it does look clenched yeah it is clenched it is clenched it looks smooth it doesn't it looks like a fart is trying to come out and he's desperate to keep it in it kind of I can see that it looks like he's just like trying to hold it yeah that woman's in there and he's ashamed I just I hope no one thinks they should go try that for sexiness cautionary tail armchair anonymous right in if you've clenched your butt cheeks to impress a lover and it did not work and it backfired and then you backfired yeah because there was a backfire she were unable to hold it in huh anyway I'm just saying and we all looks like we all agree clenching is not as sexy as as you think unclunched unclunch is a way to go the full the full or it looks, the better.

[2659] Because it gets kind of concave when you clench.

[2660] Right.

[2661] And we like convex.

[2662] But people might like it because then it looks a little more muscular.

[2663] Yeah, but I think.

[2664] It's like a peck flex.

[2665] Yeah, well, they do it in bodybuilding.

[2666] And it's really the grossest part of bodybuilding because it looks like two roast beefs back there.

[2667] It's not, that muscle doesn't look good, clenched.

[2668] It looks like two big roast beefs.

[2669] You know what I hate is when people refer to vaginal lips as roast beef curtains.

[2670] You do.

[2671] I'm not surprised.

[2672] It's not fun.

[2673] It's not cute.

[2674] I don't like that.

[2675] Okay.

[2676] I'm surprised you even know that.

[2677] Of course I know that.

[2678] I didn't just wake up out of a cave.

[2679] I didn't just fall off the turnip cart.

[2680] Is that a phrase?

[2681] Yeah.

[2682] Is that what it means?

[2683] That means you're new to town.

[2684] Oh.

[2685] I think.

[2686] I fell off the turnip cart.

[2687] Yeah, they just fell off the turnip cart.

[2688] I thought falling off the turnip cart meant like your truck.

[2689] Turnup truck.

[2690] Turnup truck.

[2691] Turnup truck.

[2692] There's probably a car before it was a truck.

[2693] I thought falling off the wagon is an addiction thing.

[2694] Not, not, yeah, not maintaining your sobriety.

[2695] What does it say, Rob?

[2696] Yeah, country bumpkin, hill, or country redneck.

[2697] Who's basically jumped a truck to get into town.

[2698] Yeah.

[2699] And what's the exact phrase?

[2700] Fall off a turn up truck.

[2701] Huh.

[2702] You never heard that.

[2703] But you know, roast beef curtains.

[2704] Yeah.

[2705] I haven't heard it either.

[2706] Turnup truck?

[2707] Yeah.

[2708] Oh.

[2709] I'm showing my age, I guess.

[2710] It might be, it's like that quiz we took where it tells you you're, where you're from.

[2711] Yeah, it could be regional.

[2712] Totally.

[2713] And the 70s thing as well.

[2714] Oh.

[2715] Yeah, I'm from the 70s.

[2716] Clench.

[2717] Curtains.

[2718] Hey.

[2719] Impantago.

[2720] Okay.

[2721] All right.

[2722] Love you.
