Nate Diaz and Chris Avila, UFC fighters from Stockton, discuss their upcoming Netflix fight card on May 16th against Mike Perry and Brandon Jenkins respectively. They share insights on fighting, training, their restaurant venture, acting in the 'Bus Boys' movie with David Spade, and Nate's perspective on UFC politics and potential future opponents.
Insights
- Fighting transcends traditional career metrics—for elite fighters, it becomes an identity and lifestyle choice rather than a job, creating psychological cycles of training, competition, and recovery that define their existence
- Geographic origin and community representation significantly impact fighter brand value and fan connection; Stockton's 209 identity has become inseparable from the Diaz brothers' marketability and fighting philosophy
- Jiu-Jitsu training provides dual benefits beyond combat effectiveness: it builds confidence, enables cross-generational social bonding, and develops communication skills with diverse age groups and professions
- Streaming platforms (Netflix) are disrupting traditional MMA promotion models by offering competitive compensation packages that rival or exceed UFC deals, forcing established organizations to reconsider fighter retention strategies
- Fighter-led content creation and independent promotion ventures signal a broader shift toward athlete autonomy and direct-to-fan monetization models in combat sports
Trends
Streaming platforms entering live combat sports as primary broadcasters, competing directly with traditional UFC/ESPN modelFighter entrepreneurship expanding beyond fighting into restaurants, promotions, and content creation as revenue diversificationIndependent MMA promotions gaining legitimacy and fighter participation as alternatives to UFC monopolyCombat sports athletes pursuing acting and entertainment roles to build personal brands beyond fightingGeographic/community identity becoming a key differentiator in fighter branding and fan loyaltyJiu-Jitsu adoption expanding beyond combat sports into mainstream fitness and personal developmentFighter-led promotion models emerging as viable alternatives to traditional sports management structuresPodcast platforms becoming primary media for fighter interviews and narrative controlCross-sport athlete collaboration (MMA fighters, boxers, kickboxers) in training camps for skill diversificationBMF (Baddest Motherf***er) belt concept influencing fighter negotiating power and UFC championship legitimacy

Mr. Chris Avila, who fights Brandon Jenkins on the same card. Ladies and gentlemen, woo, woo. We got Nate Diaz and Chris Avila. I'm on. So I can't believe you so you so you're opening a restaurant. Uh, I'm opening. Yeah, I'm gonna open a restaurant where I live. I'm not I'm not opening. I got some people opening up. Yeah, it's just gonna have options like sending a regular restaurant. I have had but with vegan and gluten free options also. Oh, damn. Do you eat vegan? Yeah, I like I like vegan. I'm not full vegan, but yeah, mainly vegan lentils. You eat a lot of lentils and stuff like that or what do y'all eat nobody. Yeah, I eat. Yeah, I eat all vegan food by the seafood as well. I eat eggs too. I love fucking seafood boy. If I was in the ocean, bro, I think I wouldn't mind it because I know I do like seafood. Yeah, it's the best. But anyway, uh, thank you guys for coming in, bro. You guys are fucking only three hours late, dude. You guys, you guys, you guys, you got the only dude that y'all were later to boost. He's the only guy that really been late. So when y'all are later than a black guy, bro. But oh, we were wait, come on. Who does he say this? Yeah, remember when they were trying to cut off that on somebody's kid? Talking about his kid going like transgender. He's like, come on, come on. Come on. He's like 12. Oh, yeah. I think there's something about Dwayne Waits. Oh, is that what Dr. And Way's kid? He ain't there yet. They got into it about that. They got into it. Yeah, they got into it. I support boozy. I support boozy. Yeah. Yeah, that was one of the best episodes. We had to have a big bag of weed for him. And we had to have like a lot of weed. Two pounds and specific kinds. Like I was on a scavenger hunt. Yeah, they had like, hello. Tell these guys we need two pounds of weed. Yeah, it's on three. We should be good. We'll make sure, bro. Thank you guys for coming in, man. Where did you guys even meet each other at? The gym. Did I meet you at the gym? No, I met you at the 24 hour. Ten in windows. Yeah. My dad had a tent shop in Stockton. And then he got his tent. My dad tended his truck. And that's where we met my dad's shop. And he was like 15 or 14 or something like that. And did you always find it? I was getting my windows tended in my truck. And then I went to pick it up and him and I think your brother was there. I think it was just me and my dad and Ernie. Yeah. And we all took pictures. Ernie Reyes? No, the guy back home. He's a little sponsor. E-Rod. Shout out to E-Rod. Let's go. He was the guy who told me the Honda Civic when I went for a Cadillac. Yeah. He's my first sponsor though. He's the man. He's cool. He's sponsored your fights early. My first fights and my brother's fights too when we're young. And I take care of cars and my whole family's cars and stuff like that. So he was the man. And then I was like, I need my windows tended. He's like, yeah, I got you. And he called his dad. And then that's why I came to pick my car up and they were all there. And then he came to train with me because I think his dad was talking to my brother. He's like, I'll hit my son boxes. He wants to come train with you guys. So he came in and spar with my brother. And then he came and spar with my brother. Nick introduced me to him again. Him and his other son and then we started training together after that. Because y'all talk about Stockton a lot. What is it about Stockton that gives it that grit? Do you feel like, because you guys always, you know, I mean, you guys kind of represent the 209. I don't know if there's any other fighter that represents like a place as much as people correlate you guys with Stockton. Yeah. Well, that's just where we come from. And everything started there. And that's the core. But you got to reference where you're from. I think I had Yancy Madero's come out from Hawaii one time to train with us. And he started training with us. And he's like, yeah, and then I, and he was telling me all about how I was asking about Hawaiian growing up there. And I was just like, that's, I was interested. I was like, that's cool. You know, like, you're like, you're like, yeah, there's my boy right there. And then he's telling me all about all kinds of stuff that I culture that I knew nothing about. And I was like, that's badass, dude. And then we're talking. And he was like, yeah, 209. Because he's a soldier. He was down with us. And I was like, bro, you need to like tell people where you come from and represent all that shit. Cause it's like, I can listen to it all day. I'm like, if people, people see you as the fighter, if they can hear what you're about, dude, you're, you're a rock star. So I'm like, you should be, and I feel like that about anybody. Cause it's interesting where people come from. So he kind of put you on that kind of energy a little bit. No, that's just a thought I had off of where I come from. I'm like, Oh, no, no, that's where I come from. That's what it is. That's what you, what you see is what you get, what you come from. That's the core. And wherever you go, I think it comes from the core of where you're from, what you do, not to get all deep and shit, but that's fucking tight. You know what I'm saying? Where you're from. People draw word or like, you see them too. And you know, like we see you and you're like New Orleans, dude, you know what I'm saying? Right? New Orleans? Yeah. Yeah. So, you can stand that's cool. That's different than just people sitting there like, Oh, whatever. Well, who are you? That's a New Orleans dude right there. So I think that might, might, what, what do you come from when there it is? 29 was popping. That's it. That's it. How did the Stockton slap start? How did that start? My brother was slapping people in the UFC the whole time. Was it Robbie Lawler? He slapped Robbie Lawler right on. That's the second fight in the UFC. So, in the mainstream, that's where it came from. That's it. He started it. And that's Robbie Lawler. So it's like, bro, you just smacked that full. That's crazy. Yeah. Robbie's a fucking boss. Dude, look, it's crazy to see how young he was there too. I seen people just get slapped growing up like, bam, and it's getting a life out of people and no fight even happened in them. And I'm like, man, you just owned somebody with a slap. So it's like, Yeah, I just slapped this honky one time at a pizza spot. Yeah. What'd it do? It was just shitted kind of escalated in there. His energy was kind of saying stuff. And I could tell he knew that it was like, that I didn't like it. You know what I'm saying? And I think once you put off that energy, like, I don't really like what you're saying. If somebody keeps going, yeah. Yeah. And he was with his girl, bro, and I just had to pull him up. And my friends still talk, bro, and I think I was fucking scared. It's almost like a nice gesture too. It's like, bro, I don't like when I see like, I don't know where like, someone's getting a mouse in. Someone's getting a merc right in front of you and hits him. I'm like, bro, you just killed that guy, bro. My hands are wanting bitch to fucking on my face. So it starts nice. Yeah. You could be a bitch or now you could get mouthy because you're coming back and you can shut up or get it. So that's it. That's it. It's like a warning flare. It is like a shut up bitch. I could have just slept you, but I'm going to slap you and give you a chance. And I ain't walking around slapping. I'm just saying something good being rude like that. Get out of my face. You can't feel it. Here it is. And I think it's just a, it was like a moment of like, I'm not afraid to have a little bit of energy if we need to have it here today, which a lot of times I'm like, you gotta slap them up. Oh, I'm taking your shit. Bro, I sat him and then I stood there and waited for a fucking medium pizza dude. And I was like, dude, do not say medium pizza when you're handed. I just wanted, I don't want people to know order the medium broke because I was feeling it. That's all right. Anybody else need a slap? The dude's like medium sausage, bro. And I was like, medium sausage, bruh. Sorry, sorry. This is actually large. And I was like, bro, that's the last thing you want to hear somebody say and you go and accept them because I've been dealing with medium sausage my whole life. But that's another conversation, dude. What a outside like outside of like you guys's energy in Stockton. What else is Stockton have? Like what else? Like what else do people do there that's like kind of like the Stockton have a zoo? It doesn't have a zoo. No, that's a lot of that. Mickey's Grove. Yep. They got birds, squirrels. Hey, Mickey Grove, step the game up. Winning the tiger. They got monkeys there. Oh, shit. That bitch looks like Trump. Look at that. Winning the lion. There used to be a bear. My grandma lived like a mile away and we could always in the morning you hear the the seals in my room. You could hear him from my grandma's house. Really? Yeah, you can hear my whole life. Oh, that's dope, dude. Got a Trump monkey. Was your family pretty close up there? Like was else like what was it? It seemed like a lot of like family type of energy up there. Is it? Yeah, I got a bunch of family in Stockton. Yeah. When they do they travel with you to the fights or no? To the fights. Like when you fight a big fight, we everybody's invited. I'm always like, what else? Everybody about I don't go and I don't like fighting is a crazy thing. Everybody's like, I don't invite people to my fights, but it's a public location. They're invited. You know what I'm saying? Fuck you ain't not to fight. I never been a one year fighter. Well, why not? I'm fucking people get it. I think people get offended at me for not bringing them to a fight. I'm like, well, come on. Yeah, you know, I gotta fight somebody. You know the risk of that. Please come. I want you to get in. I'm just like, yeah, it's open the public. Pull up if you want to pull up. I don't go fuck. Um, what? So what the so if you guys became two guys became friends around 15, did y'all go do shit together? Like did y'all go to y'all's first con? Like I'm older than him though. Oh, you are. So yeah, I met him and he came in and then he could fucking box. I was like, this kid's Lizzie. You can box and then so we started, he came in to train with Nick. I seen him box when they can do really good. I like, and then, and then I'll say that's cool. And he came and started working out and then, uh, and then I seen him without even knowing I came to jujitsu class. I'm training everybody and then he comes up to me and we start training jujitsu. I'm like, jujitsu too. That's what I'm talking about. I think I was in high school because I'm from like a lot of boxer kids and everywhere is that boxers are boxers and jujitsu, but then I'm like, I thought, oh, a little boxer kid won't that's because he's fine amateur and stuff and I like, and when he did jujitsu, I was like, hey, when he did jujitsu, they respect. And then we became training partners and homies and he was there more than everybody else. I was like, that's my guy. That's it. My old boy. Did you learn from him? Like, or would you learn from, uh, Nate when you've got first? Yeah, he cracked me in the face and I was like, what are you doing tomorrow? We're exploring to get at five. So that's how I kicked off with me and him. I was bugging his brother all the time because I was texting, he put me in and then he was like, go spar my brother. And so I was always texting Nick like, Hey, what's up? Can I come back and train? He's like, yeah, go in there at this time and go spar my brother. And then I was in high school. So I would just leave, leave class and go in. He was already, what you, he thought. Oh, you was a damn adult, bro. That's fucking grooming, bro. That's funny. So yeah. That's fucking grooming, bro. You're fucking bringing those youngsters in, but you just respected his talent so much, huh? Yeah. Well, he had a lot of people who ain't got it. 15 year old fight a fucking 20. That's great. Yeah. I did the same thing when I was 15. I saw and I met him. Come on. You like me. Let's go. That's it. That's it. But yeah, but it wasn't, we didn't talk about it. It just was like that. Yeah, we just hit. I don't think we ever even talked about it. That's how it went down. But he was fighting consistently. Dude, weren't you amateur fighting? Like, yeah, I was always fighting. I was fighting like every weekend. Oh, so you were fighting? So did, yeah. I was almost 18. I was like 16, 17. So would you go cornering and shit like that? Or was it? No, not that. He had a boxing coach and he was, he was boxing. Let's not pull up the pro fights, but we have fucked up records, but we ain't been finished by nobody and we've been fighting top competition the whole time. So it's like, you know, fuck a record in MMA or boxing. You've never been finished. No. Yeah. Either one of you guys. No, I got, I got, they gave me a 2K against Josh Thompson one time, but it was like, I'm chasing him around. He's scared for his life. I feel like, and he wants to fight me now. He's like, oh, he's calling me out on the little, he's a podcast, he's calling me. I'm like, but who really won? Like I never beat nobody and then been like, I want to rematch. So my day. How about that? What was, uh, I brought you back to life. He podcasted my boy. Chris, who got the closest to finish you if there was somebody that got close and one of them? Eddie. My brother. Is your brother tough? No, he's not older brother. Yeah. He grew up fighting. That's how I wanted, I wanted to fight because he was always fighting and shit. Sorry about that. Like at school and stuff. Yeah. He's not a fighter. Is that why you kind of got into it? You think? Yeah, because he was he was always fighting. Does he still fight? No, he didn't. He never fought like professional. Yeah. He was a little gangster at the house. So I was like, what's up? I want to fight. He always come home with stories and shit. So it is funny like brothers want to do kind of what brother, that you just, if you're a younger brother, you want to do what your brother does, you know? And sometimes your brother will quit doing that shit like two weeks later and you just do what you do. The rest of your life, bro. Sure. Was who fought first in your family? Was it you or Nick? Oh, Nick's been fighting since I'm a little kid laughing and shit. Like what the hell's going on? Why are you fighting people? Nick's been a fighter his whole life. My brother led the way. He was a dude. The first actually the first Diaz I ever met was Nick. See if you have that. I know New York podcast, right? Yeah. On OP on the OP show. I seen that recently and I'm like, fuck, I didn't know you were around then. That was a long time ago. Yeah. It was almost 10 years ago now, I think. When was that? You didn't even have the hair yet. Dude, I was so scared too, bro, because they brought in like a fucking fighter, bro. I've just recently watched that. I don't even remember that. And a fighter who I knew his name. Yeah. I was like one of the first American black belts under a Gracie or something like that. Like back, you know, way back. Yeah. Like, I've had them in black belt for a long time and it's a big deal. I mean, like it's not like, I haven't given anybody any belts. You know what I mean? How and who are these, you know, these people passing around belts like it's a, you know, I'm like, go win a competition with that belt. Let's see how you do. It's not going to happen. You know what I mean? The like it takes a long time. I think Louis is feeling like that. I don't want to invest in that. Yeah. I don't think anybody has to go and do boxing like traditional. They're going to kick boxing and that's just going to be enough for them. And then they want to go home to their nice wife and they've got a whole bunch of other stuff to worry about. I'm over here. Miles, Jiu Jitsu, pro boxing, kickboxing and judo and and sombo and I'm doing all of it, taking all of it into consideration and always have. What about jump rope? Damn, I look fucking homosexual in that bitch, bro. No, I just saw that I didn't deal with them. I could I remember the interview. I didn't remember you wearing it. Yeah. I didn't. I don't remember I was in it either. Is that the guy from fucking? That's in New York, right? Yeah. That was in the building where they also had Howard Stern was in the same building as Opie in their life. That was Shady 45 is. I did one in there too. I think yeah. Yeah. Right. You go through the hall. There's like a just a bunch of them in the windows and stuff. I did. I did a podcast. I was telling them earlier. I did a podcast with Everlast in there. Did they have any guys freestyle rapping? No, no, no, no, no. It was Shady 45 and it was Everlast and I was sitting there and Nick bought me there with me and Nick dinner together. I'm sitting there and I'm like, why am I sitting by Everlast? I shouldn't be by this motherfucker because I was I was I was fucking on Eminem side. Oh, you had a different promotion. No, you know, Eminem, Dys on Everlast. Oh, yeah. And I was like, bro, I don't know if Eminem will be cool me being here. I don't think I should be here. The fuck we doing with Everlast because he was dissing Everlast hard on thing and me and me and Eminem fucking are homies. You know what I'm saying? Really? No, I don't know. I never met him. But I was committed. I was in the music all day. So I was like, I'm on his side. And then we're talking and then they're asking questions and I'm just sitting there and they asked me something. Like, are you cool with Eminem? Yeah, man, come on. What do you think? He's like, we're on Shady45. All right. I think I was like, he's gonna bring it up a beef that happened five or 10 years ago. I was like, I shouldn't have asked him that. I was young, though. And I was like, I shouldn't have. Dude, what should you do, bro? I remember one time I was on Eminem side, though. At least you were on his side. Like you were real. I did like Everlast, but when he started this one, I know more Everlast for me. But now I like Everlast. And he was always cool, too. When I met him a few times. You met Eminem? No, I'm not ever. I never met Eminem. You never met him? Damn, dude. He rapped about me in the song, though. Yeah, what song was it? I forget the name of the song, but he Yo Cap, I know you out there, send me the song with a, I forget the name of it. There's a new song. Here we go right there. And he rapped about me. And God's my alias. So if I don't have faith in me, then it basically makes me an atheist. And the idea has got the world by the tracheas in a chokehold and a sleeper. Dang, bro. That's crazy. That's all I needed in life. I came back, I circled back, like gangbanged on Everlast, and then here you are. We made it. That's why you're being done Everlast. Did you ever get to, have you ever got to meet him? Say it? Have you ever? I like Everlast. I mean, we see each other like, whatever, every time, but... Oh, Everlast is a person? Everlast. It's a group. It's a group. I'll put on Everlast. Now what it's like? Yeah, you don't know what it is. I got you. I was thinking about Evan Essence, I think. No, Everlast. He was thinking about Evan Essence. No, I was thinking about the fucking boxing. The boxing rap. That's Everlast. This ever hold. And I was sitting there, hey, this song was on in my head too, and I'm sitting there next Everlast and Nick's talking to interviewing me. Fuck we doing in here, man. And on the real, I only went there because it was, we're doing the interview on Shady45. I was like, sick. And it was Everlast. I was like, man, I shouldn't be here. Huh? Turn it off. Oh yeah, because of the audio stuff. We ain't got the trademark for that. What up? What jobs did y'all have before fighting like took over for you that was like heavy? Did y'all have work? Did y'all have employment? Or were y'all like? I sold weed. I worked at a burger spot too. I was just telling them I worked at a place called Bonham Burger. I used to barbecue try tips. I was probably 14 years old. And my brother started training with this guy, Steve Heath, and his brother, Gary, who trained a little bit. He worked next to the gym at this burger spot. And he got me a job with him. And he worked inside round the restaurant. And I barbecued across the parking lot on the grill. And then when people hit me up for a double or eighth or something, but I pull up to the spot. So he pulled the barbecue and I dropped him. I dropped him eight foot foot foot try tip. Go inside and make a cheese burger. I get down. That was my only job. What about you? I didn't really have a job. What? Were y'all real rich? Nah, hell no. I'm broke as fuck. I was a broke as fuck. Bro, if you poor and not working. No, no, I had jobs, but me and my homies, we'd get jobs, but we didn't last for that long. They were bus boys. Were you really? No, I worked at a winery. I worked at a winery for a long time, and then I worked at my dad's shop here and there for some money. But I didn't have like a job job. And the tenant windows, bro, they only let you go so dark, dude. I remember one time I got mine done, and they'd put bubbles on mine. Nah. Creases, creases. Look, I can't see out this part of the window. Man, I knew I shouldn't have went creaking bubble in my window. That's when that shit's bad when you have to fucking drive. Like, that's why some people started driving like this, because that's the only way they can see out the front. It dies to the crease. It has a judge's crease. Bro, they had this setup over in, not even far from here, where you would get your windows tinted, and they had to deal with the cops right after the cops would pull. They were just pulling people over right as they left those joints. Damn, Avila. Yup, that's me. That's me. That's Nate's car. Come get your window tinted. 50% off. Yeah. That's the CTE version right there. Yeah, for that. Over time of fighting, is CTE, does it feel like a real thing to you guys? Is that something, do you think that fighting has affected the way that you're able to think? When you do comedy, does the CTE fuck with you? That's what it was. Yeah, it tackles with the CTE. You see my kinds of comments, they give me a CTE every time, man, I'm hot. Oh, they do? Oh, I didn't even know that. Why? CTE? Like, does it really affect, because you guys have taken a lot of punches in your life, you know, like not as many as a lot of guys, I'm sure, but you guys are real fighters. Yeah, I feel like it's, yeah, I feel like football probably a lot more than the fight. Yeah. They had a documentary on football. So that played football too, I remember when I fucking went to hit, how much would people want to have a headache on that, I'm like, it's fucking 12 years playing football. That was fucked up. I don't know what the question was about CTE, I just started thinking about it, what did you say? I didn't know what to say. My CTE's kicking in. I think that answers it, bro. Did you guys have to get vaccinated to fuck, did you guys get vaccinated? I didn't get vaccinated ever. Not did you? No, I didn't. Fuck yeah, dude. Fuck you. Fuck them. Vaccinate yourself, motherfucker. Yeah. You guys is Jim over in Stockton, it's the Nick Diaz Academy. And you guys have had a lot of great fighters out of there, Jake Shields, Gilbert Melendez. How has it changed over the years there? Like, has it evolved? What's it been like? Well, they're not out of the Nick Diaz Academy. We're all from Caesar Gracie. Okay. Nick and Jake and David Durell, those were three blackbuts under Caesar Gracie, and it spread out for them with Tyson Griffin and Nade Dusharm and a couple names out of Dave Durell's, who was the first blackbill under Caesar and then Nick was me and him, Nick was me and him and our team at Nick Diaz Academy. And then Jake Shields had Gilbert Melendez and a whole team under them. Oh, so it's different than I thought. Yeah, but we're like a family tree type of thing and we all come from Caesar Gracie, fight team. And then we're the Stockton team. Does the energy feel as alive there as ever with young fighters coming up? Yeah, there's youngsters in there coming out of wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu kids and boxers and shit and everybody's in there. We're like, we're gonna go back, we're gonna have been gone for two weeks, gonna go back and they're all gonna be ready for us ready to kill and shit. So it's on and popping when you go to the gym. Are you guys training people as well in there? Like, or what is like, I know you guys train yourselves, but... Yeah, I train with everybody. I'm more of a, like I just train with everyone. I'm like, you wanna learn some of this strength? Cause I learned a lot of my, and most of the stuff I know from experience and training with people and I've got better from that. So I let the guys run the show at the gym and then I come in and I just participate with everybody. And then he's right, he's right. Long time ago. Yeah, I'm just training with everybody. Do you guys feel like fighting should be taught in schools? I think Jiu-Jitsu should be. I think Jiu-Jitsu 100% should be. Law enforcement? Law enforcement. Yeah, but if they didn't in school, then by the time they get to law enforcement, say, well, no, and then if you're gonna do law enforcement, you'd be like, well, I better step them in my game up because you would be conscious and aware of it because you learned it in school. You're like, that's the only thing that's gonna protect me. Did they have boxing back in the day? Look at this, dude. Today it's crazy. Do you think boxing used to be? Like in high school, in high school. This was in school, this was in London in the 1930s. Okay, in high school. It's not like the mountain. Yeah, not the mountain. But look at this shit, they used to have this. Watch this kid, this kid's good. That's how I was. Imagine this at school though. Yeah, it'd be sick. It'd be... Why you got all the girls down? Damn, bro. What happened? That's gentrification. That's how it happens, dude. That's how you make friends. One mixed guy showed up and everything fucking went in. One mixed guy. I've been wondering if there was ever a time when you were with your family and your car broke down, because I've been there.

What makes you say that? Well, just for self-defense in general, I think people should know how to defend themselves a little. How they be a little more stable walking around. I think it helps with everything, you know? Kind of like common sense type of thing. I think people would get hurt last morning, think a little more about what to do. I keep going all day, but jujitsu, I think is necessary for everybody. It's like learning how to swim. I think everybody should learn how to swim. What if you fall in some fucking water? Yeah, so that's what I think about jujitsu too. People are walking around acting cool and shit. I'm like, what if somebody just drowns you? Yeah. So that's why I started training. I'm like, you know, people actually will walk around and can do this to you. Yeah, right. I'm gonna master this shit. Is that what your kind of mentality was, starting out with it? Yeah, you're walking around helpless and you don't even know it. Right. You know what I'm saying? A fucking title wave might come. You're gonna fucking drown. So that's scary to me. Yeah. So I would learn how to do that. Yeah, that's fucked up. That's fucked up, dude. No, you're right. People don't even think about it or consider it though. People are like, oh, I could fight. When the last fight you got in? Yeah. You don't even know that you can't fight. And I know that you don't know that. You know what I'm saying? And people aren't even conscious or aware of that. So I think that's a scary situation. So just get all deep again about it. Yeah, that's not deep, bro. That's real shit. That's where I'm at, bro. Just because you slapped a guy one time at a pizza parlor, doesn't mean you can fucking defend yourself. It's true though. He might have been able to just drown you and you don't even know it. So it's like. He might have saved my life that day. He might have said I could fucking. You were too down for him though. He's like, nah, I fucked that. This guy just drowned me, I'm out. Yeah, I think definitely the confidence building. Yeah, I learned how to talk to people. I would go to train when I'm a kid, 15, and I'd get smoked. I'd get high as fuck all the time. And I would go on to train and it would be like, I'd hate coming on time because I'd be like, if I go on time, we got to sit and talk to all these guys and the guys who train there like cops and work out of bakery and doctors and everybody was older than me, I was a kid and I was like social anxiety. I don't want to talk to these people. I don't want to talk to them. I never talked to a kid in New York. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, I can go talk to these people. I can only talk to my friends. So I'd go there and then I'd train with them. These 35 year old dudes and shit. And I'd fucking choke everybody because I was there more than them. And I'd be like, and then all of a sudden they're asking me a question about the moves and I'm telling them about the moves and they're going here and they're like, what are you doing? Are you in school? I'm like, yeah, I'm here. And also I went full on conversation and I'm talking to 35 year old cops and I'm selling weed and training and not talking to anybody older than me. So I learned how to talk to people and understand people and communicate. So it helps with just falling into the social pipeline. Second, it's not funny. Yes sir. So that helped me there. And then, especially after the training, you get an orphaned off your high, but you're like, I'm not asking you to send me a know-about and not say you're explaining, look, you go here, you pass the guard like this and do like that. And they're going, what are you doing? They tell me, I go running, I can do this and like, wanna go get lunch. And now you got a friend and all of a sudden your friend did some 35 year old cop. And like, what kid do you know that sells weed? These friends with a cop. And now you got there just homeboys. And then I was like, I learned a lot from all that training and it helps with everything. Yeah. Yeah, dude, there was something, oh, the endorphins after a class, even if you just got choked out by a fucking, like a 35 pound girl, right? You've been like, fuck you, I'm gonna get that bitch next week. Dude, I got choked out by this fucking 13 year old girl. I will say this, I think she had taken some Thai, Thai bo or whatever it's called. Taekwondo. Taekwondo, right? And so I was like, okay, so this obviously, this bitch knows what she's doing or whatever. But anyway, I fucking got leveled out by this chick of one class and I just remember driving home in my head thinking, I'm gonna fuck that kid up next week. Which was a crazy thought. But also, yeah, the endorphins, people you would meet, if you're choking on a fucking baker, you like fucking smell those cinnamon rolls, bitch, you know? I better get a free fucking... That's Thai bo, my roll. My bad, that's some other shit, bro. That's that fucking, look at the dude on the right, bro. That dude. He's excited. Oh, he's fucking... He loves Thai bo. He'll put a full Nelson in your ass. That fella right there, bro. Some fucking Nelson in your ass. He'll half Nelson some dude's balls in his throat. That's fucking crazy, bro. Is fighting fun for you guys now? Does it change over time once it becomes a career? It's the best thing to do, like training-wise, I think helps out with life and shit. So, I think... Yeah, I've been fighting for so long. I think him too, is like, once you're... We've been doing this for so long, if you're not fighting, it's like, that's what I do. Right. And then when you train for a fight and get done with the fight, he's like, fuck that shit. I ain't gonna... What the fuck, I just put in all kind of work and did all this. Because nobody could do that. It's a lot of work. And then not even the work too, just the mental, just go to sleep. Like if someone need normal how to fight, you're fighting three months to be like, okay, they going to sleep, I can't sleep. They can't even make it to a fight. So it's like, it's a whole thing. And then once you get done, you're like, man, I was fighting a cool, I'm glad it's over. I ain't fucking doing that shit. Two months ago, he was buying, like, man, what the fuck? I need to get back to what I do. It's just what I do now. So it's like, when you're not fighting, you're like, all right, I gotta get back. I gotta do what I do. So that's how it is for me. For you. At a certain point, I noticed even with comedy, like the thing you do, eventually it chooses you as well. It's like, I have to do this because... This is what I do now. Like I can make millions of dollars doing all kinds of other shit. I'm like, fuck, there's nothing like doing what you do. Yeah, I gotta, it doesn't feel like you're doing the right thing. So fighting for me is just what I do now. And it sucks and it's great and all that. Yeah. Yeah, what's the part about it that sucks the most for you guys? Diving. Wow, what you thinking about? You be sitting there thinking about something? Talk about like... It's like fasting. When you were talking about it, they were telling me... How many zins you got in? Nine. One. Damn, this one's gonna be big. I don't like swallowing the spit in your zin. Spit in that jar. It'll hurt your stomach. You do zins? No, dude, I'm vaping right now. And I'm fasting. I feel like a fucking Native American over in this bitch or something. I feel like a damn Hindu or something. I got enough problems, bro. Damn, Chris is fucked up. You fucked up. No, no, no. He's having zins. Yeah, go pee, man. I'm gonna pee. All right. Bro, I've had some fun times in there with him, bro. I've had some fun times in there. Yeah. I'm sitting there. Yeah. Yeah, he'll love that, dude. Yeah, Joe's been supportive. He's the one who told me he said, like a year ago, we were staying busy like with podcasting and he's, he's like, if you start doing two episodes a week, then nobody will be able to stop you. That's what he told me. Oh, wow. You're in vain on a lot of episodes. Yeah, so that was it. And he just said, yeah. And so we started to challenge ourselves. And it's kind of wild, like, because there'd be, it used to be hard for me to even go like an hour for podcasting and now some conversations I'll go, it'll be two and a half hours. And it'll be. His are like that long as fuck. You're like, yeah. His have so much information. I'm like, fuck, I'm dumb. I'll leave out of there feeling like, fuck, I gotta go study. I just feel dumb. He's, he just is interested in so many things, right? And he really is interested. That's the thing. Yeah. He really fucking want, he just like, it's like walking in the library. I feel like, oh, I'm fucked. I'm fucked. Yeah, yeah. Like I can study forever and I won't get past the fucking magazines, you know. And wind up just trickling off tall kind of shit. And you're like, damn, now in some situation, I don't know what the fuck we're talking about. Yeah. And so you see this one fight, right? You saw that? Cool. We got a circle back. Yeah. Oh, a lot of circle. Dude, yeah, they should, I wish I could call time out. So now I was in Joseph podcast just to give myself my brain a chance to, me to give my brain a pep talk in those bitches, bro. Cause he's just so smart and so interested. So you got the MVP promotion and it's Netflix. It's the Mike Perry fight. That's what's coming up. How did the fight come to be? Well, me and Mike Perry been the biggest thing on the outside of the UFC. Yeah. I've been following the VFC stuff. For a cool minute and he's been doing moves and making shit happen and respect because like nobody's doing, knows how to do shit. People who are the talent are just a fucking talent. And I'm like, bro, I have to get out of here because that's not what I am. So, and I get out and I'm like, what I do is fight. I need to do what I do. So I've been like, there's nobody out here. And then he's out there doing the thing and we got offered each other a few times. And it was in the direction of it happening and a couple of things happened. It didn't happen and now it's happening. So that unfortunately, this is the only way to make it happen because it's time. He's been doing a great job. He's been knocking people out. He beat fucking, beat middleweight champion, the other name, Rockhorn. He beat Rockhorn. And he beat Eddie Alvarez, lightweight champion for years. He beat Jeremy Stevens up. He beat who else? He beat his back to back whooping everybody there. Michael Benham Page. He beat MVP. I don't know if he beat him. Yeah, he beat Mike Bro. Yeah, MVP does a good job. He out there knocking people out and doing a good job. That's a close one. That one went to the cards, didn't it? Yeah. And everybody complains about MVP's boring fights but you need someone like Mike Perry who's gonna go forward. That made it a fucking war. It was dope. He dropped. Yeah, that makes a good fight. And that's what I said back in the day. Like I ain't fighting people who aren't fighters. I'm fighting fighters because that makes good fights and that goes down in the brain, in the memory bank for fucking fighting history. It's good fighters fighting each other. And I think that was the best thing to do out here is beat somebody who's doing a fucking great job fucking whipping ass and making bigger moves and just being a fucking meat and ass fighter. And that's what I'm attacking. It's the best of the best. And Mike's a fan favorite. People love him. People of both you guys. You guys have such huge fan bases and stuff. That's gonna be a tough one to watch, bro. It's gonna be fucking tough on the watch. And I remember early I was like, are you excited for the fight? And you're like, bro, that's not exactly the way to say it. Yeah. It's not the feeling. What is the feeling more? Cause as a fan, yeah, you kind of ask this dumb question like you excited. The feeling is just get in there and get out of bed alive and don't fuck up. So fuck excited. Fuck bro, I'm fucking scared. And I'm not even gonna, I'm just gonna be, I'm gonna come to, I'm gonna go, but yeah, I'm fucking scared. You have a training camp. I'm scared now, bro. Your training camp starts tomorrow. You're not even fighting. That's exciting. Yeah. Go watch a fight. Nah, that's cool though. You're right though. That's kind of a thing. It's hard to be like so few people could put themselves into that perspective, bro. Cause so many people, a fight is one of the scariest things, bro. You're just making with your fucking face and fists, you know? It's the scariest thing to people. And the fact that you guys do it, man, I think that's what makes all the fighters warriors. Like when I go watch UFC, dude, I'm like, these people are, they do something that's so foreign to so many people. Remember when Gladiator, when the warrior, Russell Crowe's like getting ready to go on, he does that. He's been in war forever. And he's standing there and he's getting ready to go on. Like, fuck, we have a war right here. Like some fucking slaves. This is crazy. And he's looking at the other slaves. You got to go to one of them. That's a guy from Shakin' and Peakin'. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Fuck. Fuck, dude. Yeah, that's everybody. Yeah. You don't know nothing about that. No. He just sitting there and that's a good fucking scene right there. Yeah. He's like, calm down, we don't make it out alive. Fuck. Well, make me one of them. Gladiator. Remember he's standing in the back and they're all there and they're making them. Yeah. He's about to fight. They're like, you're going to fight for entertainment. And then the guy's in front of him. But that's what he does. Cause he's running right away. He's fucking, they were hunting him down and he ran the whole army. So that's what he does. And he's going to go out there to go to war with a bunch of rookies. He's like, come on, let's go. And then the guy in front of him is just peeing. He's shivering. He's peeing. And he's going out and I think he's looking at it. Damn, that's fucked up. Let's stay by me doggy. Be all right. Let's stay close, bro. Stay fucking out of the hiding or something. So that when people say, are you excited? The guy who says, are you excited? Reminds me of that guy. You're like, come on me, bro. Let's go to war. Amen, bro. And you have a fight too, Avila. It just announced on the card against Brandon Jenkins. Yeah, Brandon Jenkins. So it's the same day, May 16th. And yeah, he fought in UFC a few times. He fought in PFL. He fought a lot too. So. And it's MMA. MMA, yeah. Yeah. Do you prefer one of the other these days? Not really. I've been fighting boxing. My last MMA fight was in 21. So yeah, I'm excited to get back in there. He boxed when I fought too. Who did you fight last? My last fight. Well, my last fight against a guy on MVP. It was against Ariel Perez, but the fight before that. No, yeah, that was in August. But the last fight I had before that was Ben Henderson in the UK. Yeah. And then he fought, who did you fight? He fought Pettis, Stevens, yeah. Yeah, beat him both. And then. And that was all boxing. It was all boxing. Yeah. But yeah, we're getting back in MMA right here. And will you guys train to get, will you guys be in camp together? Yeah. So what does the camp look like this time? Does it look different because of these fighters that you're fighting? Like, do you start to shape it for that? Yeah. Well, with boxing, boxing all the time. Now we got wrestling, wrestling coming in, MMA, fighters coming in, kickboxers coming in. It's a lot more work than easy ass boxing. But yeah, we got everybody coming in for full war zone. We get the best, the best in every art. We get the best kickbox. I'm going to bring Joe Schilling out. And he's got to fight too, right? Yeah, he's got to fight too. And then they got a bunch of kickboxers they're going to bring out with them. And we'll drill and train that. And I got my boxing coach, Richard Perez, and then me and him and about a dozen other pro fighters at the gym. And then we're going to bring sparring in for that. And then I got Nick Salavar runs in my wrestling program at the gym. And he's going to bring in wrestlers. And I got Ernie Reyes out here, rolling me everywhere. He's the best, dude. Remember when he hit Bobby? Yeah, we're not going to say we're taking that out, Ernie. Don't even worry. Asian on Asian crime. We're going to be some brown on brown crime. Dude, yeah, a lot of people think you and Mike Perry should fight for the winner gets to say the N word, bro. That's what it really should be. I feel like. Uh, I heard you guys are going to train right after this. Where? Yeah, my boxing coach just flew in. So we're going to go meet him. I wanted to take a nap, but it's good. Remember that one guy who don't like naps? Oh, yeah, he had beef with naps. Who was he? John Berthold. That was on Instagram. You know who it is, is it? John Berthold. Yeah, that guy. He apologized. Oh, he hates naps. I know who John Berthold is. What did he start casting about? About about about? Yeah, he apologized. No, kind of. Yeah, he was. I don't like naps if you ain't doing shit either. But if you're doing shit, you need a nap. Yes. I can't. If I know I have a lot of shit to do, though, it's hard to find a color and nap either. Pussy. I said I fucking close my eyes for five seconds. I don't take naps. I still have time for naps, man. That's what this guy is beef with. This motherfucker takes naps. I don't trust people to take naps, dude. I just found out he doesn't take naps. He grown ass man. No, you don't. Yeah, it's like, dude, like the whole world's moving while you're napping, bro. It's fucking. I can't fuck with a nap. I just. Hey, you want to know something? I take naps. I take naps. I don't sleep. Hey, if that dude came with me for a day, what's the name again? John Berndtall. I like him too. He's a cool member on the movie. He was on that zombie show. He beat the zombies out of in Atlanta. But if that motherfucker came with me for the week, that would be sleeping. He'd be taking naps. And I'd be like, I'd be waiting. I'm like, I hate naps, motherfucker. Get up this time of the grind. I can't shit. I hang on me. I'm just kidding. He'd be napping. Will this fight, will this be y'all's biggest payday for fights? Same for me. OK. And if that's too personal, I'll ask you to let me know if I'll be on the line. No, no, no. Same. No, it's a regular payday. Yeah. Because it's, I mean, Netflix is, it feels like to me, it's trying to get into the fight game, obviously, you know, this is going to be kind of their first MMA card. Is that right, Nate? Yeah. And they're just doing live events like spectacles. And that's why they need the big names. Um, did you feel like something like this would come along? Did you feel like just the way that's the way that the business was headed? It was kind of like when the pay review models kind of looked over, you could tell some change. We may have needed to know about it. So you're like, but now you're like, OK, we can work with that. You know what I'm saying? So, uh, yeah, we didn't know what to expect before you didn't see it coming, but now that it's here, it makes sense. Yeah. You feel me? Yeah. But, uh, I got my own promotion that I'm planning on kicking off the whole, been since I was trying to get out, since I was trying to get out years ago. So, uh, I understand it. And, uh, it's cool. There's a, it's cool that I'm starting to understand better and I'm going to learn more as I go. And then I plan on running shit over with it too. Did you learn a lot from just like the experience with the Jake Paul fight? Like how? Like just like the, just like seeing like the business, like more just having to know I seen that developing, I could see them, I could see them picking up game and, and understanding that I went and, uh, I'm always learning something about something. So I think every, every, every experience, yeah, you're picking up a big deal, but not specifically what I learned that they're doing the same. Yeah. As we go, you know? Yeah. Was there a chance that you, that there was going to be a, uh, you were going to come back into UFC? Um, I want to be, I want to go back to the UFC. Yeah. Uh, I fucking, um, I have bigger, I have, I've bigger. I have bigger offers from the UFC than I got from these guys, but, but the, the, the offers where the opponents weren't the right opponents at the moment. And I believe everything in this, in this fight game, uh, in a lot of things, but the fight game is, is timing. And I think that if I would have. Went to the UFC, I wouldn't have been fighting the fighters that I want to be fighting. I want to fight the best of the best. And if, if, if I'm not going to get that, then I'm going to find the fight. The biggest, biggest thing I could. Yeah. Like, I like, all right. For instance, like, I think that if I went back to the UFC, they want me to fight. Conor McGregor right now. For me, Conor McGregor just pull up his record. Do we got his record? Okay. I know this, but I'm like, I'm thinking about it. I'm like, Conor McGregor just fucking lost to poor. Yeah. I think he got knocked out on his ass. What's the last two cycle refresh my memory? Poor you. Right. Okay. So poor, poor, you know, it's all right. And then he breaks his leg. Which was horrible because the point is a fucking. Sorry little bitch. And, and, and he fun. Yeah. I know what can you say? And I'm like, I'm like, he knocks him out and then he gets his leg broken. And then it's like, fuck, that's fucking horrible. Like, we're adversaries by my bro. You broke your whole shit. I don't wish that on nobody. You know what I'm saying? And then he got knocked out. And then like, I'm like, okay, I hope he comes back and does good. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm good. I hope does it. You know what I'm saying? And then everybody's kind of mounted down. That's kind of why. And I'm like, all right. Cool. And then he's gonna come back. And I know he's having a hard time with the FC because I've been had my hard times with the FC. And I'm like, yo, good vibes. Damn. Handle your shit. And in the meantime, I'm doing whatever I'm doing. And then when he. Is ready to come back. No. And he's motivating and doing what he's gotta do. And I'm like, okay. I want to fight motherfucking. BMF motherfuckers claiming my belt. That's running all around. Uh, Charles all there just wanted to fight. Right. Yeah. I'm like, right. You're rocking my belt now and you're running around like it's about to motherfucker. So that's when I'm like, yo, what's pop on the FC. So I'm like, let's link up and get this fight popping. And then I go back to talk to them about it. And they're all ready for me to come back and fight. Cause I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Listen to what I'm talking about. I want to fight the best of the best when they are the best of the best. Connor's great, but I'm not trying to go kill off Connor when he's on his last dying fucking leg. Yeah. Literally that's fucked up. But, but, but I'm not trying to be the ending to some fucker's story like that. Like we ain't friends. We ain't none of that, but I ain't trying to finish this dude off. I want, and that's what I plan on doing if we're fighting. And at the same time, I ain't trying to get fucked up by nobody who just got knocked out on his ass and broke his leg all of the time. This guy's down enough. Now he's nothing but motivated to fight me. Right. Cause who else are you going to fight in there? And they're probably going to get him a fucking BMF belt, fucking bitch ass Olivera, who I believe I'll beat the fucking shit out of. You know what I'm saying? I'm out of Alvaro. Yeah. He been in a guy, people I've been beat be him. I beat Pettus Pettus, choked that fool. I beat Sarani, so he kicked them all up in his ass, poked him in like a little bitch and then I, but if he took you to the next one. He's walking around with my belt though. Yeah. He got your jewelry. He's walking around with my belt and this fool actually one time he wanted to title and I was like, what's up? I'll fight over. I know I'll be Olivera. And then Olivera is like, no thanks. Tell me I put a tweet out like I'll fight him and then he put a tweet out like, no thanks homie. I'm trying to fight for big stuff, world championships and this is I'm like, oh, I'm okay. I'm not, I understand you had the right to big league me because you're missing a champion. You think I'm just, all right, go ahead. But you're sorry. I said, and then a few months later, a little while later after Connor breaks his leg all up and gets knocked out all the place, this was like, I'll fight Conor McGregor. I'm like, I thought you wanted a bigger and better things. You picking on people who are on the downfall. And that's my perspective on the whole situation. Got it. So then they want me to come back and fight. Olivera. I believe they want me to come back and fight Conor McGregor. Not Olivera. You're not on that. Well, I'm going to fight for my belt that I created that I deserve since I started a whole division to bring value up to all these fucking fighters. You started the BMF. I started the whole shit. That's me. That's my belt you're wearing on my hip. So yeah, you just got tatted with the BMF belt. That's me that you're holding. Okay. And they're like, okay, we want you to come back and then maybe later we'll do the, I'm like, okay, well. You know who's doing a good job. The same almost close to the same amount offer for Mike Berry, who's the fucking most violent motherfucker around right now, doing things, taking over businesses, running shit, doing his own promotion. And I'm like, that sounds a lot more, a lot more, I'm a lot more enthusiastic to get up and running, get ready to train for this motherfucker who's going to knock me out or I'm going to knock his ass out. And we're going to take what's who's the bigger dog of the bigger best motherfuckers there are, you know, I'm saying, and then in the meantime, I'm not fighting for MVP. I'm fighting for Netflix and I'm fighting from real fighting, incorporated, which I'll probably be doing next with Netflix anyway, real fight entertainment on a thing and show you how to throw a real MMA fight show. I've been in the UFC for 20 years now. So I'm like, yo, I'm going to do that from real fighting with, you know, I'm not working for a fucking MVP like all these other motherfuckers are. I'm a UFC fighter. I'm working for me for real fighting and I'm hunting Jake Paul's motherfucking ass, not taking a fight with a guy who's on the comeback. Me and Conor will fight again when the time is right and it's time to fight. But it's going to be when we both on the uprise, not when someone is dying out or coming, I'm not nobody's comeback story either. So I'm fighting the most dangerous, most violent motherfucker there is on Netflix. And then I'm hunting his boy that he works with that MVP. So that's what I'm doing right now. That's, that's my objective. And that's what I'm doing. I didn't want to talk about it, but that's what's happening. Oh, no. I didn't. And I didn't know that. No, it's all good. But if it came up, that's what it is. And is real fight incorporated? That's your group. And that's, and you guys are co-promoters on the fight. Yeah, a little bit. They were having, I'm like, do your thing, whatever. I'm just going to do this because I stay active. I want to stay active fighting because that's what I do. It's good to do what I do. And not fighting is not it. You know, I fight. That's what I do. So I pull out fighting forever. And that's what I'm doing right now. Fighting the best guy I could fight on the outside. I'm bigger than fighting some no name ass motherfuckers in the UFC or somebody on the down spiel. I'm like, but as far as the UFC is concerned, I'm fucking in love with the UFC. That's my shit. That's where I come from. And that's what it is. And all this shit came from it. Like even Jake Paul's fucking ass. And he's over here having a beef with the UFC. I'm like, the UFC made you motherfuckers because you found the loophole and you went box a bunch of UFC fighters. I know too. I'm in on the joke. You and my mayfathers cannot box. You know what I'm saying? Who was the fight that, uh, when you, when you hear him say this stuff, Chris, how do you feel about it? I just listening. That's how that's on it. That's his thing. So yeah, I feel it though. Yeah, I don't know. That's his situation. I don't really know. But do you like, do you think he needs any different type of prep to fight a guy like Mike Perry? No, I think Mike Perry. He's a good, that's right up the alley for real fight. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck. The good part about him is he comes to fight. Oh, he's like, he come down and he tries to take you clean out. And that's, that's what I'm trying to do too. And if you're going to try to take me clean out, you know, it's, it's hard to fight a guy who's trying not to fight you. And a lot of my losses on my record or any fights I've lost have been motherfuckers. You are trying not to fight me, you know, and loophole around the whole fight. And even like, even like Paul, I feel like a beatball, but a lot of people felt that way. But it was his like big show. So it's like, okay, all right, but I know, I know from experience, I ain't winning no decisions, even if I do. So watch that fight over and don't read the punch count in your own count without somebody else's. I will not fight too. And you mentioned a couple of guys in that. And you mentioned poor A. Who I'm a obviously huge fan of and I love. What was the, um, and yeah, and I obviously disagree with how you, how you feel about it, but you guys are fighters and I'm not in you guys's universe. So, um, except as a fan, uh, why didn't that fight ever kind of show up for you guys? Cause he had pussy surgery when we were supposed to fight. Yeah. There's a video of it. Put the video up by him in a car, a hospital. Uh, but no, we had part of his knee scope. Didn't he know his hip pussy? Yeah. We was that fight was lined up when we had Dustin Poirier on 2018. Right. Yeah. He's got a pussy. Pull the video when he was in the hospital and they fuck you Nate. You know what I'm saying? If it was a pussy, I will say this. It looked just like a hip. Pussy. Okay. Pussy removal. Did he say fuck you? Talking all that shit about steroids. Fuck you Nate. He's on anesthesia. Yeah. Bro. His penis was removed. Yeah. He needs for removal surgery. So we didn't get to fight. Y'all like kind of did. We was that one that like, uh, did that let's make final move a little bit. Come on. Louisiana's pussy boy. I'm kidding. It's all good. Dustin, we love you. Yeah. No, no, no. You're pussy. You guys are one of those guys that. He quit his job and it was like, I want a box in a thing. I'm like, why'd you quit to early stupid? He fucking was hurting it. He couldn't even move one of his legs. He's emotional. I mean, he didn't have much motion. Emotional. Emotional. He's fucking, uh, what is it? It's fucking estrogen levels were high. Bro, you're. He got estrogen high. I would never want to get hit by his estrogen, man. That's for sure, dude. If he rubs off, that's why I'm like, I'm cool. I'll find that pussy. Cause it rubs off. It does. You hang out with pussies. You know what I'm saying? What if you fight one too? And then it's like, you fucking. He tried to hold on to you too much. Like you got pussy on me. Bro, he's a fucking one of the toughest UFC fighters ever, bro. He's one of the greats. Toy it? Yeah. Whatever dude. I'm kidding. No, he's one of the greats. Yeah, he's done good. He's done good. All right. I'll, I'm going to change your subject. Can't fight. Huh? I'm kidding. I'm just giving you shit. Uh, is, do you think Jake Paul will ever fight MMA? Or do you think that's all just. And what do you think I'm doing here? I'm on the hunt. I'm going to take his ass clean out. I got to fight Perry, get through the fight. Who's a, who's a really big task at hand. And then we get the Paul fight and, um. And that'll be MMA. Yeah. We'll see time on tell though. And then I ain't going to. But he said a lot that he's going to have fight MMA. Jake Paul said that. Yeah, I know he says that. That's what he says. That's what he says. We'll see. I think he, I think he will though. I'm just saying, uh. What are they saying? Talk is projected into a fucking existence. He does that good. So yeah. Speaking into existence. Yeah. I think he will. Yeah. Um, do you think Jake could win an MMA fight? Uh, not against him. No. Um, we're going to do it just a little bit of word association. We're going to put some pictures up with some guys and just throw the first word that comes in your head and eight on these guys. Can I wipe out for a second? Yeah, sure. I'm ready for it. One time I was, um, I was traveling somewhere, you know, because I had my luggage with me and everything and I was, I think I was in Guam, maybe, or Viet Guam or somewhere. I don't know. And I couldn't get the internet. They didn't have it. Some people didn't even know I was talking about. I'd like point at the sky and then point it like a book or whatever.

Yeah, it's still, I mean, it's still just mostly about Elvis. The wife or the daughter? That's the wife. Michael Jackson married the daughter, right? That's the wife, dude. Speaking of grooming. Yeah, speaking of grooming, bro. What did that mean, grooming? Grooming is when like somebody, like what do you mean now? What do you mean? Grooming is like if somebody's like, like when I'm with somebody ever, like somebody like it becomes like a when an adult becomes friends with a kid. So like when I was a bus boy, actually, it's true. When I was a bus boy, I meant this. That's what you said. I meant this dude. That was that grooming. Hey, I'm your grooming. Don't sweat me. Stalking. I got sacked and slept with grooming. But grooming happens, bro. It's, it's, it's become a popular American pastime amongst a lot of our politicians and uh. I didn't get it until Andrew came in. He got groomed. He's the one who got groomed. I didn't get groomed, bro. All right. Hey, nobody got groomed, right? I didn't get groomed. Okay. God damn it, Theo. I ain't coming here no more. What about all? I ain't coming here no more. What do y'all think of the, uh, of the UFC of the 250 card, the White House card? Who's on the card again? Pereira? Yeah. Main events, Elliott, to Pereira and Justin Gaichi, uh, Kyle, Doc, his bow, nickel. Pereira's on the right. No, they, I think they wanted to do Pereira. I'm not even gonna fight, uh, Gain and, Can you pull the card? I think that's on, I think it's in the good card. To Pereira Gaichi, Pereira, Gainzi, Shana, Maly's in the middle. That's cool. It's gonna be tough. Chandler's on there. Who? Chandler. Michael Chandler. Where, where, where, who's he fighting? He's fighting on Marisa Murphy. On nickel. Who the hell's on nickel fighting? Diego Lopez? That's gonna be dope. They're just pumping up on nickel. Who the hell's that guy? Kyle Dock is from, uh, Philadelphia. He's good. Look at Diego Lopez, a little mustache. That's funny. That's a good picture of it. That's hilarious, dude. They're doing like extensive background checks for people that are even going to the fights. Do you think you guys would even be able to clear the background checks? Do you think? Yeah. Right away. I don't know about you. I go to Canada and then my homies could get in. They all got D-Waiths. I'm good. I'm flying colors, baby. And Trump, Trump, Trump, my, Trump came to, when I fought Magdalen, was the first time a president ever came to a fight. Really? Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah, I invited him. Did you? Yeah. I was like, yo, we find him for the best motherfucker in the game belt right here. And he said, I gotta go to that. I'm like, yeah, come through. Yeah, you had him up when you were walking out. Anyways. Seeing him at the fights was wild. I'll take full responsibility for that one, too. Who brought a president to a fight? Nobody. Mike Tyson. No, he wasn't the president then. Was he? No, no, when Mike Tyson. Oh, yeah, hell no, no. No, I just know Trump was at Mike Tyson fight. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, bring up some pictures. Zoo Ward Association. Fire through some pictures here. Nick first word. Nate, sorry, first word that comes into your head. No. Carter McGregor. Next. Next. Elijah Gutierrez. That fight that. Pussy champion. That's right. We keep getting him up. I'm sorry, Dustin. We were just playing. GSP. OG. Yeah, you got OG. Fasting. He's the guy who taught me about fasting. I'm not. She's gay. Hoto. What's Hoto? Look it up. The Grinch. Here you go. The man. Who's that? That's who is that? Well, that's Lindsey Graham. He's a guy who he's the guy who everybody is saying is that he's like just supporting Israel because they have proof on him that he's like like a low key like closeted. I don't know. I'm gonna say. I don't know. Here's the clip. I didn't mean to do that. He like. Hey, where on you just admit that you're gay and then people won't. That's funny. You don't want to admit that you're gay and. I see that right there. No deal. That's why people should learn Jiu-Jitsu. Right. You know what I'm saying? Right. If he just stepped up right then. Yeah, because I'm gonna fuck you up for doing that to me. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And what if you can't? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So why wouldn't he want to learn Jiu-Jitsu like everybody? Would you? Like girls, kids, everybody. Do your or your kids in Jiu-Jitsu? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Would you teach the Lindsey Graham Jiu-Jitsu? The gay guy? No. Absolutely not. I'll send him to somebody though. That'd be us. Do you guys know somebody in DC that could train him? I don't know anybody in DC. No. Or Virginia maybe? Theo, talking to Mike. Okay. Do you ever wonder what they asked for telling you? Talking to Mike. What? Do you ever did you ever want to? I don't know. I haven't trained enough. No. Hey, sometimes you know, like when my boy out there, I'll be like, hey, pick up your thing and fix your shirt. I'm like, sorry guys. I'm just trying to relate here a little bit. You know what I'm saying? One, a great moment that you had after a fight. John, grown up boy. I'm playing. A great moment you had after the fight with Michael Johnson when you called out Conor McGregor and they took them like, Rogan like kind of stopped you from talking to the mic. Did you have more you wanted to say on that? Yeah, I was about to go off on everything. I was going to be like, bitch, Rich, motherfucker, I fight harder than you. I try harder than you. Everybody, fuck everyone here. Fuck your mama. But he stopped me with a good thing. Because anything could have happened in Dorfons. Yeah. I told you this was going to happen. So I would have went off and I'm glad I got stopped when it did. But then I was telling my brother, man, I shouldn't have said that because he said it. My brother knew me. Like, who gives a fuck, bro? You think anybody didn't see that? I'm like, oh yeah, I forgot. So it worked out as good. Will, uh, Shout to Joe. It was a good stop. Yeah. Yeah, good stop. It was a good stop. Bro. Because I could have said anything. It said just what I needed to say. If I would have kept going, I wouldn't embarrass myself. Amen, bro. I already am kind of still was embarrassed about a little bit of it, but I always am. So it's cool. Well, like you said, you got, but you put it out there, bro. You know, you're running on endorphins. That's different. Will, um, Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have the confidence to say whatever. Right. Yeah. And I don't say anything. Fuck everybody here. Like what, what if they turn on you? I shouldn't have said that. Sorry guys. I was high. I was high. Can you fight high or no? I wish. I was kind of high when I fought Pettis. Not really. I fight some of the fat blunt right before he walked in. Huh. Remember when we walked in that in LA? We had a lot of smoke weed. Yeah. We'll leave. Well, well, well, you can't just bring that weed in the locker room and smoke at the commission in front of the commission. So I got really high and then we walked in, but that was like an hour and a half, two hours before the fight. So I was lingering high, but it would be great to when they're, when they're, when I was going to say, when you walk out to smoke them up, but the best part would be to like smoke some right when they're going out in the blue corner. Stunning sex. I bet. Hurry up, please. That'd be the best, I think. That's me right there. There you go. Did, um, you're. That's me. It is. Did it? That's me. Did you, because I know that, uh, Nick got part of his thing was his suspension was for weed, right? Whenever he got suspended. You know what you didn't pull up is that one fight. Well, when Nick got in trouble for weed, hey, can you guys pull up a fight? Who's that Hawaiian guy that you fought that you went? Think cracked after, after a shocker. Remember the guy who you hit after you fit? He knocked down and you cracked him with the X. Think about it after you get Drake. One pulling Chris Villa versus Drake. Bowen. And let's watch that. I laugh at this fight every time. That's hilarious. That is funny. Nick got suspended for, for, for five years or some shit like that when he was already fucking older and it was like ridiculous. I forget the situation. Was there ever a part where they were, when you were, uh, when you were like heavy in UFC? Yeah. Yeah. Why did you, oh here, let's watch. Can you go to the end? Yeah, just go to the end. Oh, yeah. Hold on. It's coming. This is all right. He can start right here. Right. It is. Ding. What's up, man? Likewise. Likewise. Yeah. Blah. I never get a win like that. I'm trying though. Like that. What up, dawg? What the hell? Do one more time. Repeat. That's fine. That's fun to watch. That makes you want to fight. That's what I'm going to do to anybody who groomed me. You, you almost had it against Leon Edwards. I know I did. I almost scared Leon, Leon fucking ass. Respectfully. Do you have any regret for not going after him? I did go after him. But you pointed after you rocked him. Let's clear it up. Put that fight on, put on and write that part. I'll show you. People don't understand. They just like to make that the narrative of what happened. Yeah. Thanks, Nate. But don't forget to get by everybody that's done. No, good looking out by everybody that's done. If you, if you watch the fight, let's take into consideration real quick. Let's take into consideration that this is 23 minutes of fighting in. Okay. And let me tell you beforehand. Did you step on your cup? My eyes right here. My eyes. And right here, like after a certain amount of time, I had sweat in my eyes. Hold on. Pause it. Pause it. I had sweat in my eyes. So I could see him. I could see him all completely clear. But like my eyes were all sweated out and I couldn't see his eyes. So when he went like this, I thought he was playing with me. Cause I couldn't see that. But if I could see his eyes, I could see like really far. You could see some of these eyes. If they're conscious or not. And like when I cracked him, I thought he was when I pointed at him, I was like, how the bitch shut up. Cause I thought he was playing with me. I know they're fucking. And then I was like, I was like, oh shit, he is fucked up. And then watch from, watch from that point, how many punches I throw and how much I actually really attack him. Let's see it. But I was slow on it for sure at first. I couldn't see my eyes were blurry. No, I could, I could see perfect, but I couldn't see his eyes then it. I thought he was fucking with me and like, oh, I'm, I'm not down. And I knew he had a minute left. So I thought he was like, I'm going to get out of life. I'm like, shut up, bitch. What? I was in Arizona, huh? Yeah, the Arizona. That's fine. Yeah. It was a good fun spot. Okay. It's happening. Bing. Okay. One minute left. Now watch how many punches I throw from here on. Like I was at, right now I'm realizing, oh, he is actually fucked up. Okay. One. And then we get, and he's grabbing a hold on thing. I'm like, come here, bitch. What's up motherfucker? Trying to get him 24 minutes in though. I'm not some fucking energetic first minute of the fight. I'm, look, I'm chasing this fool. Get off me. Come here, bitch. Look. What's up? You over here going to get out of life? No. I'm going to get you. 30 seconds. Look, I'm not chasing him. Yeah. I'm trying to get his ass. You know what I'm saying? But of course I have looked at it and think what I could have done, but it's like what I could have done. I was trying, trying to get his ass. But initially when I socked his ass, I couldn't see that either. And when I did that, I was like, Duh, you just kind of did that. And then I, oh, he is fucked up. And I started chasing him down. So I remember you just took a picture and I, no, it wasn't even like that. I was trying to get him. I was fucking fighting for 24 minutes. Hey, everybody, go fight for 24 minutes, then try to get a motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? You'll be like the guy I'm glad you're peeing on himself. Fuck you. Talk about fight me. But if it went on anymore, I would have finished that for him too. But what could have should have, and there's only 25 minutes, the way you should have done. I knew that. I was just clearing that up for other people. I knew. I know. No, that's my guy. I like the guy in the back. That's my boy right there. Oh, he knows Dumb and Dumber. He knows all the references. That's my guy right there. What's your name again? Nick Davis, the Cross, Wisconsin. Nick Davis from Wisconsin. What's popping? He liked the cheesehead. Green Bay Packers. Now look at him. Nine and gang, baby, what's popping? Gang. Is that your stuff gang gang? Gang gang. That's your brand right there? Yeah. Yeah, shit. That's tight. We came in with that. And I'm upstairs. That's another one that we came through with. Let me get a hat. We've been a good group. Oh yeah, we got some for you on the way out. Shoot me a hat to put on. Yeah, I'll trade you a gang gang. I'll trade you a hat for a ticket to your fight. I won't win. I got a ticket for you. Come on, man. You already know you got a ticket from somebody anyway. But you and me though, I'm going to get you a shirt. I can't wait. Put me in the fucker. Yeah, wear my shirt. I'm kidding. You're a cool guy. I'll get a D.I. shirt, bro. I'll get a D.I.'s Army shirt. Gang gang. I like the camo. Dude, perfect. I'll get a D.I.'s Army shirt. Who you want for Chris? Yeah. Yeah, what the fuck? You guys are left out, Chris. That's cold. He had it again. Kevin Baker from Cheese Heads. I'm just kidding. What's your name again? Nick. Nick. Nick what? You got to give the fights early on. Nick Davis. Shout out to Nick Davis. You got to give the fights early on. Oh, look at the hair. Yeah. They're cool. It's the best, bro. These are cool. I was just seeing all the people there. Sure, thank you. Well, at the fights? That's cool. You got all the prelims and everything here. Because that's where all the, you're going to see some of the better shit. People don't even know what's happening. Oh, that's tough. It looks tough. Yeah, it's good. Turn of the rat. Why is it the rat? Are you the rat? You're the rat because your hair is the rat king. Yeah, they call me the rat king. Whenever Brendon Sharp and I had a podcast, he's called the king in the sting. And they called me the rat king because- Is Brendon Sharp still gay? I never. I'm kidding. I've never been with him. I got it. I never been with him. I mean, he's always seen his wife says he's straight. I'm kidding, bro. His wife says he's straight. That girl lying. No, man, but he gave me that nickname. And then that's kind of all, I've always been a fucking like, I'm going to survive no matter what, bro. I'm playing with Brendon Sharp. I'm just talking. No, all good, bro. He's cool. We had a little differences, but that's just the name of the game. Game of the game. Yeah, that's the name of the game. You guys, that's part of it. You guys also have to be your own- I have a real problem with like, um, motherfucking, um, What, spelling? I'll spell you or anybody in the UFC straight up. People don't know that about me. What's that? Give me a word. Don't give me no words. Nick Davis was hunting the word right there. You see that, bro? What the fuck, Nick Davis? Hey, but I can't spell though, good. I always shit on my girl like, watch this, shoot. What, uh, I don't like, I have a problem with, I have a problem with, uh, fighters who start analyzing, is that what it's called? Like analysts or try to think they're Erie Hone or some shit? But, but all the, like, you, but those guys like, Chail Son, there's all those guys that talk about it. I like Chail. Chail's my guy though. But he's, he like, should have done that before even, he, that's him. He should be, he should, that's the guy who should do it. But then everybody else starts thinking. And then what they do is they go out and give criticism to a fighter, like an analyst, and my bro, you were never even a fighter. If that's what you do, you're a bitch. And you're going to fucking analyze and talk about how fighters aren't what they should do. And you know it all, you know it all. What the fuck happened in your career then? Why are you analysts now, Mr. Know-It-All? Why are you Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson and the best of the best? Talking about negative about what I should do when I made more money than you ever made in your whole career at any fight. Mr. Champion, some DC and fucking all of them. You going to talk about people fighting? Those are the kind of motherfuckers you need their asses be. Just a quick little talk for you. Fuck a fuck a fighter analyst, you know what I'm saying? You said, I know it's a fuck out of me. Well, yeah. But they'll get their selves into shit like that too. Like Brandon Chab got his ass pumped a little bit because just because he does that stupid shit. I'm like, well, I don't, I wouldn't talk about fighters. Unless it was to insult them and be like, I'll beat your ass. I'll see what you're saying. You know what I'm saying? Like, like. But you don't say you would never get a new, you would never be an analyst. Like I went, if I wanted some funk, I would. Right. You know what I'm saying? If I wanted some funk with them, I'm like, okay, let's talk about fights today. This fight fucking sucks. This dude boring as shit. I've never seen a single DC fight in my career, except for when I was on the same car at the same one time and he was picking up the dude and walking around like he just owned him, like he was held tight. Like, damn, he's schooling that dude. And then I looked back at the screen and he was knocked out on his ass. That's the only DC fight I ever saw. And he wants to talk about what I should do and how I'm not a good fighter. And I said, I'm like, are you mad because you were the champion? And like when I was nowhere near champion, I got paid way more money than you. That's a fucking bitter little bitch who's analyzing fights. Who, Daniel Cormier? Yeah, all the analysts though. I just saw the other one. You don't like the analysts. I can't think of the names. Well, I'm just saying they're putting theirself in a position to be roasted. But the bad part about it is, is they get the favor of me talking and roasting on them. And that's what they want me to do. So I take it back DC, you cool, you the man. He traded me one time a tub of popcorn for a thing of beef, big thing of beef jerky. And that was pretty, that's like, I don't know. As a fan, I like what those guys do. Especially ringside because I need that information. I understand from another person that you like to hear from the pros. You like to hear from the pros. Yes. So it's cool too. So I understand that too. But from a fighter perspective, I'm like, I wouldn't do it just for the, just for the respect I have for the arts. And like, I'm like, you're a great wrestler DC. You can't fight for shit. You win fights, but you're not, you're a fucking big old person. Remember he cried? I didn't see him cry. He got knocked out by John and he cried. I would. He always got naked in his record sucks. I'm like, you cried. I didn't mean to even talk about this. No, it's okay bro. We can cut that out. Fuck! Cut that out bro. I'm serious, we can do whatever, we can cut it out. It happened. I'm kidding, it happened. I did want to ask you, shoot the, shoot the shit. I did, I did want to ask you, we're going to talk about the BuzzFeed movie and you guys act and experience because I know there was a lot of it. What's the BuzzFeed movie? Oh, it's this movie we did. Who was in it? Couple gooners. Couple fucking gooners bro. From outside of Modesto. No, I didn't want to ask, was there ever a point though? Because we talked briefly about, Oh, that's tight. Nick got sent out for weed. I did want to ask you, was there ever a point where you tried in your own negotiations to see if they would, like, you were able to grant, like, get him back into the UFC? And if that's something that's inappropriate. No, I didn't, I never even thought about, even, how would I get to men? I never even thought about it. It was like, you know, like when the cops take you to jail and I don't want you to go to jail, I'm like, I know I can't get you out. I ain't talking to cops. So that's probably the situation. I didn't even think about it. Got it. Oh shit, they kicked the motherfuck. But how, what was I going to do? I just didn't know if you had it, because you're just such a name in such a... Yeah, but even then though, I don't think I was as big as a name to even have any effect. And even though, even if I am now, right now, how I am, I don't think I could help that, you know? I'm not going to go fucking go ahead with the commission. They're going to do me or him and again. Oh, so it wasn't just up to the UFC? It was a commission thing. It wasn't the UFC at all. I think it was the commission, right? That's on me then. Will Nick... I don't know. I didn't even thought about it like that. But yeah, I couldn't... Will Nick help you train in this? Do you guys still train together? Yeah, he'll pop in and gave me up about everything I suck at. That's what he does. That's what I need him for too. So it's perfect. Hell yeah, bro. That's so cool to have a brother. All right, let's talk about... Go. Let's talk about Bust Boys, the movie. What was y'all's acting experience? Be honest with me, bro. Because y'all's manager told me you guys had acting experience. What was y'all's acting experience? He told you that? Yeah, he did. We don't have any acting experience. We keep it real. Do you have any acting experience? That's the best. I don't have any acting experience. We never acted a fucking moment. Hey, but now I do. Back to the... Let's go. Shout out to Theo. Now I do. All right, let's look at some bloopers from the movie from Bust Boys, man. And thank you guys so much, bro. Hey, first and foremost, before this even happens, I'm embarrassed. Yeah, yeah, same. Nah, dude. And I do want to tell people this though. I'm embarrassed. Go, if you... David and I tried to do is we wrote this ourselves. We paid for it ourselves, right? So we want to try to change the game of how... We didn't go to a studio. Nobody's... There's no big dogs in this kennel, right? We just... We did this on our own and we got... Great friends that were able to come in and help out, like you guys who are just coming in and being a part of it. And so we need people to go and buy tickets early because then they'll add it to other theaters. Two motherfuckers don't know what they're doing. This is embarrassing. If people will go get tickets early, we can add it to more theaters. So I just want to let people know that in advance. All right, let's check out some of you guys. This is just some behind the scenes stuff. You can find where it's playing, busboysmovie.com. BuzzFeeds guys. What's up, you man? What's in it? Yo, what's up? Yo, yo. Fuck your ass.

That's not even acting. That's just being me. Oh, that's embarrassing. That's what they expect out of us. That's what's the worst part. Gas, her favorite CD was in there. Fuck. Bro, fuck her CD. I got you. Let's go. Fuck. Fuck. It's your CD. Fuck them. Fuck them. Give me a right. Fuck them. Fuck you. We should have kept that. Fuck you. I know. That car would have been cool. It's fucking cool. Hey, David's face. Those guys are fucking shit. David's face is a man. Do not take those guys to an Applebee. He's not talking shit. I find it. Dude. Who's that? Good clap. Bro, she's get the fuck up. Get up, Theo. See, get up. Bro, that was fun. That part. That was fun. You were tied up. Remember that was cool. Yeah, dude. And then there was like, you guys were hilarious, bro. Because y'all would sit outside. The car would just be fucking. Some type of music would be playing. Smoke would be in there. And we'd be like, okay, you guys ready to go? Oh, yeah. Yeah. That was fun. It was it, bro. How did you guys feel like doing it? And how do you feel after it? Would it be something you'd want to do again? Yeah, it was cool. It was a good experience. I never acted either show. I was like, what am I doing? How do you feel about it, Nate? I felt like I wished that I could have done it again and do it all over again. Because it was a cool experience. And I didn't think about it at the time. I was thinking like it was work. Like, man, what are we doing here? We got to be acting and stuff. And then when I laughed, I was like, that was actually really cool. Yeah. And then I saw the clips that you guys sent us to. And my daughter the whole time has been like, do I get to see the movie when? And then I watched the clips. I was like, damn, I already told her, yeah. I'm just being like, fuck you, motherfucker. And it's like, so I'm like, all right, I'm not allowed to see it though, because she asked. But now I have to come back and be a good guy. Yeah. If I come back because I had less to learn than evolution, now I know. Okay, I'm going to do this. I want to be a good guy. Yeah. Or a medium guy. That's fair to be. At least. I think being a medium guy is pretty good. Had you ever, had you been a boy? But it was fun too. It was cool. Dude, that's how I feel. I have fun hanging with you and we get David Spade. Dude, that's legendary, bro. That's fucking the guy. So I know that's how, when I think back on it too, I'm like, man, I wish there was a way that I could make more of like easy day. Just to have been there with Spade, you know? It was just crazy, bro. Yeah, not as way cool. Yeah. It's cool that Spade's still around doing what he's doing, bro. That guy's been around forever and that's the man. He's a fucking boss. Oh yeah, hilarious. Tommy boy. Was there other movies that you got offered to be in? They offered me to be in Roadhouse. They called Roadhouse, Roadhouse too. The one with that Connor McGregor did. They offered me that part that Connor did. I didn't do that because I ain't losing no fight to no gay. Jenedal broke back mountain ass. But if I could beat him in the fight, then yeah, but I wasn't going to lose no fight, then no broke back mountain. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But it would have been cool too to do that, but I'm glad I still stick to my word. I wouldn't have done that. And it's easy to be gay on a mountain. Try being gay at sea level all the real motherfuckers are. Yeah, with somebody who might punch. But so I got offered that part. They did a movie in Stockton when they were under the Caprio that just came out. Oh, it's coming out when we come out after an hour. I'm not trying to brag, but I didn't get into it. But I should have. That would have been way cool to do. What is it now? Now I'm more interested that this all happened. And I did your thing. I'm like, now I'm like, okay, I want to do over. And now I want to do some cool. But I just want to be like, you know, I want to be like a Spanish teacher or a doctor or some Spanish. Somebody nice. You know what I'm saying? I don't need to be all that mean, because I can put bacon on people. At least we got to punk you and David's spade a little bit. That's all. Bro, I didn't want to punk you guys, but I'm just. No, dude, this shit was hilarious, bro. The best parts were hanging out with Bobby Lee being around. The fun part was going there and seeing it all happen. You were there and David was there. And a bunch of guys on the set were hella cool too. I couldn't even believe it was a real movie till the first day I got there because we just been doing emails. Remember when we throw the guy in the trunk? Yeah. That show was hilarious. How was that guys? That was when we first showed up. You're like, yeah, you threw him in the trunk. I'm like, what? All right. It was some honky. Some guy was on this. I thought it would come in there and be some romantic guy. And they would have gone to movie. And then they're like, you just got to remember you guys were telling us the lines. They were telling us the lines. And I was like, and I was reading it. And I was like, the way they were having me talk with all weird and shit because I was reading lines. And then I got to the point after we did a couple of takes and you're like, dude, I'm like, oh, you guys want us to punk you. Yeah. You guys want us to punk the fuck out of you. Like some little bitches. Okay. Hey, Chris. And they want us to punk the fuck out of you. Let's just punk their asses. So then I mean, watch this. And we're like, hey, fuck you. Fuck bitch ass motherfuckers. I seen people get punched. So let's punk these guys. You guys are the only people I know that can say fuck you like 70 different ways. That was embarrassing. My girl, my daughter wants to see you. You know what? We'll do. She's going to see it. We have a cartoon. I told her she could see it. We created a cool cartoon animation that we'll do as well. I'll make sure to send you that. You can show her that the best boys version. Yeah. I was like something else. Just if you got like the characters. Oh, cool. So that'll be something you can show her for sure. Well, how about and how about this, dude? If we do another one, if we do another movie, we'll come back. We'll give you guys a we'll give you a more. Thank God. Different type of character, maybe a baker or something. Yeah. Yeah. So I like that. Yeah. Savant. Say chef though. Okay. I don't want to be no bitch. I'll make it. Yeah. Fuck that. Shit. Bartender. Fuck that. Bartender. Bartender. Baker. That's not good. Oh, dude, what if it's the Stockton doctors after we will have a movie called the Stockton Doctor? The Stockton Doctor. Did you guys? Yeah, but let's throw him off and I'll be a chiropractor. I don't know what that meant. Did I just discard a factor? That's fucked up. No, dude. I don't even know. This is as high as I've been in fucking 11 years. It's fucking great. 11 years sober. Let's hit a new story, man, and then we'll get you guys out of here, bro. Fuck, I'm ready for the fight, dude. War fight. Yours and yours. I'm ready to fucking see you guys. First, Jenkins, first, Mike Perry. I'm ready to see this shit. Quadruple amputee, professional corn or what did I say? Cornhole. Oh yeah, I saw the cornhole there. The player faces. He got no arms or legs. Yeah. I don't understand. Quadruple amputee, professional cornhole player faces murder charges. After a professional cornhole player with no hands and no legs is accused of firing a deadly shot all while driving. We want to get out of here. How? We want to get out of here. We're home at back. We want to get out of here. What the fuck? That really happened? You could be a defense attorney right there. That's it. Hey, that's your next role. Yeah, he's out. He's free. Let him alone. And even if he didn't, let him go. Let's see what they say here. Let's see what they say. Not really. No, let him go. And she bizarre to say the least. But before we get any further into this story, I just want to try to answer the question that so many people have right now. How did someone with no arms, no hands, she should be a different. Fight a gun and allegedly kill someone. Look at him. It's early in the investigation, but there is no evidence at this point to suggest anybody else was involved in the shooting. He got no fingerprints. Mom and that he acted a little like this. I guess. He got no fingerprints. Nah. How they gonna do it? That boy free. Yeah, free, bro. Get that boy a skateboard. He out. Free. Free him, man. I think we're good on it. You think, Nate? Free him, bro. He's like, he's laughing. He's like, yeah, I did it. But they won't catch me. They got no fingerprints. Oh, man. Oh, last question. Do you do you get any residual bonus for starting the BMF belt? Do you get a residual bonus for each fight? Let's call them. Let's call them. That's the answer. Should. Man, thank you guys, bro. Oh, wait, I got to give you all. I got to tell you guys y'all's names in the movie. Yeah, let's hear that. All right. So. No. We don't need you run out smoking a bunch of crack and doing a bunch of shit because you hit one piece of meat for two seconds. He's gonna take the weed right now. I'm sending you on a crack to fucking bend there all across the United States. Like, hey, you still on? You missing half his hair? No, bro. I would too. I would take a hit of that joint just so I could go buy a fucking baseball. Hey, no. People who don't do drugs always try to smoke weed by me. I know. I ain't gonna be responsible for you. Rending off or taking a shot or having a beer. I said that to my cousin one time and he was like, I don't know why the cousin was looking at me like, he was looking at me like, what the fuck? Can you put me up last night, bro? Come on. You try to smoke the weed. You meet a crosstown smoking, cracking fucking, stealing the car and going across the country now. Nah, my watch, buddy. Yeah.

And he goes, you smoke a joint on your show first. That's what he said. Exactly, bro. I felt the same way. Yeah. Not on my watch. Yeah, not on my watch. It's funny though to test people. You're like, you sober. Hey, yeah. You don't play with me. I get smoked with him and him and her and him over there and her. You don't get no weed by me. You're gonna run off and do some funny shit.
