0:07 But not to sidestep. But I just read the movie that's being filmed here Sacramento. Yeah, you see they shot it right next to uh, what's that fucking coffee shop off of It's a grind. Oh yeah, I know that gas station Grian. They were just shooting there. Yeah. I just heard like a list like like Gunthers is in it, or in the area is our street corridor, which is dope old Sack. It's like Ladybird two in terms of locations it is, but I think it's like a light humor deal. Yeah, and those are kind of our main areas old Sacks in it. Like, I get that you're trying to show that. I like they were just like a punchline. Did know this one? I think the like synopsis so you know, like the little thing that ends up on the DVD says like two friends traveled to the best city in California. Oh interesting, they're like from La or something, and Michael Sarah's in it and he like convinces Homie to do it. The other guy's famous too, I forgot his name. And then the chick from Twilight, Kristen, the main girl.

1:03 Yeah, she kind of like Judge with her crazy haircuts to have like a moha. Yeah, yeah, I kind of kind of digger. Maybe it's a merrier, you know, it's should know you should yeah, and just like push the button and you're married. I don't know. She's in a Sacramento movie. I'm from the Sacramento you know you might. There's something you guys might lock eyes and fall in love at Tiger. Yeah, we literally could. What if we kissed. There's some crazier things. What if we kissed on the dance floor a tiger. Yeah, crazier things have happened for sure, and then to you. But then I'd become a vampire. Yeah, dude, First off, sparkle, I don't know if there's a hot taker, right. The Twilight movies are pretty fucking good. No, I think they're really good. I didn't watch them till I was really sick.

1:44 I don't know when, like twenty seven, twenty eight. I just had like a flu for a week. I had nothing to do. I'm like, let's go running. I ran them all. Yeah, they're good, and there's some corny scenes, but that's era based. You can't really blame the movie. They're all like that. I almost throw the movies. They're there, they're eatier, but they're they're congruent with my Harry Potter Lord of the Rings. They're built on like love novels. So they got to have that cornball out. Now it's kind of like some Star Wars ship. Yeah, it's it's it's a Walmart Star Wars. Yeah, I don't hate it. When Star Wars started taking itself a little too seriously is when it got bad, not bad, but not as good the original like trilogy, right, it's like really light, harden than kind of corny. Yeah, and they do have a lot of comedic relief in the new ones, but like some of it's like pretty serious, and then that's not really Star Wars.

2:29 Yeah. Yeah, like like it is, but it isn't right, it's not it's not it gets a little too heavy, not light. It's not light. From the beginning of Star Wars, yeah, C three PO and R two D two or two idiots kind of Yeah, and they're they're actually stolen from another movie. Yeah, they're more more Kawa. Yeah. Well, the whole thing, a lot of people from all well all of it mostly Stone Startress, yeah and Fortress. Most of it's stolen from cores Sawa. I've heard of that. Yeah, he guys. He's like the famous Japanese director. I think Omar's really in all that world. Yeah, all those like Sam Verymer will beyond me. Uh. For my birthday, Sam and his wife got me a tiny little piece of the crate dragon from Star Wars. I saw that picture. That's from the very first that's an actual piece, and that's from the first scene ever basically. Yeah, it's first scene as soon as they rock it off of Yeah, when they're the first scene on tattoo. Yeah sick. That's pretty sick. Tiny little chip, but you know, I still yeah, but I watched those Pond Stars when that people would bring in like a fucking section of the original Death Star.

3:30 All that's worth a million dollars. This is from some company that that's all they do is they take pieces of famous prop, brilliant and they break off a piece for everybody exactly. I think it's cool. I got ship like that, but it's like dirt from Yankee Stadium. Yeah, that's cool from the original. Yeah. I have something I wish I would have got. It's a dirt bleacher from Marco. I know some people did. That would be cool, Chris had one, but like they're really unmanageable, Like how do you how do you use it? You don't you put it on the wall. Yeah, you hide it in a corner. Yeah, it's impossible though. They were pieces of shit. Yeah. They literally felt like a high school dugout. They said, like MS thirteen card on him. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Some are like red jew they're not even like all purple, some purple, some scattered, there were some scattered ones.

4:12 It was a mess. It was a mass times. So since the last time we were together, um, you know, we talked, we talked about full Swing. Earlier in the year or part of it, there was still this giant merger between LIV and the PGA. Yeah yeah, n DP World Tour, Yeah, which was the former European Tour. Like why would you take the name that made it legitimate at all out of the name of the league. That never made any sense to me. There's so many just like funny wrinkles in there, right, Like Tiger said no to eight hundred million last year and now he's basically forced to just work for two out of like the main guys, it's two point one billion dollars. That was like lost in translation, and the merger had of at least started conversations at the same time. And I know business is business, but you know what I mean, that merger didn't happen in two weeks now there's apparently it's been they were working over the last week before it came the news broke to everybody.

5:10 Yeah, it just kind of sucks. And then it shows you like this is kind of like obviously this was the long call the whole time. Yeah, we're just all finding out last, including the players for sure. Yeah, it just sucks for the money just wasn't right in the first place. And then it goes back to even like Trump was like said this was going to happen. Yeah, He's like, oh no, their money just wasn't The money wasn't there. It's gonna happen. You'll see, they're gonna come together, and then he ended up being right. It just sucks. At golf is historically like a prize pool based on winning, and then some guys now have contracts and then some don't. So it just changed the platform fully. Where NBA has always been an MLB or whatever, it's always contract based on performance. In your negotiation with the team, then you obviously get bonuses based on what you did. Um, and so it just kind of sucks to me for yeah, guys like Tiger, not I'm the huge, biggest Tiger fan, but guys that have put in their hours and he's kind of getting but fucked well, think he cares about the money's already Yeah, no, one's gonna say no. But if you already have a billion dollars, you can't even spend with that you already, So for him, like it's like the morals and the money doesn't matter anymore. No, But that's what sucks is he stood it for his morals and he loses. What's That's what I don't what's that? What's that? Fucking example? Do we talk about this yet? The billion different between a million and a billion as far as like seconds ago or minutes ago. Oh no, we're like a million minutes ago was like not that long ago, but a billion years ago was like the start of their Greek empire. It's like that's a difference between a billion and a million. Yeah, billion seconds, I mean yeah, it was like to show you a gap, to show you the gap of it is. But we're so cushion because we know people that have billions of dollars

6:42 like in the world, right that we don't think of it like that big of a number or that different from a million. But like, yeah, but it really like you can't fathom how much a billion really is when all the listeners, I bet a large percentage don't have a personal friend that's a billionaire. But everyone's got a friend that's a millionaire. Yes, yeah, even though I may have a billionaire friend, I think we could be a little bit off a billion. Seconds is just it's just thirty one years, all right, So I must have been a minute. It must have been a minutes minute, it must have been minutes, yeah, yeah, or even days or whatever it is. There's there's sports news happen everywhere. My boy, Messi's coming to America. Welcome dude, enter Miami. Did you hear there like a last place team anymore? Bitch? Are they are league?

7:23 No? No? There there mls MLS Because I just read somebody a mutual friend that I won't mention their name we talked about earlier. Yeah, yeah, mentioned that if everything like goes perfectly, he could play in sacrament I think that's a USL Cup thing, Okay, that's like a cup, almost like a got you tournament. Because I was just looking up like the random Stats or Random Stats Republican with my Twitter and like the average um PSG, which is where MESSI was arenas like eighty thousand people. Lord the average into Miami seventeen thousand people. But the tickets just automatically for their opening day in September went from eighty dollars a ticket to five hundred dollars a ticket. Of course, Yeah, bro, I want to go. I'll pay five hundred. Watch MESSI. That's my guy. Yeah, he might see me in the crowd and just know, Yeah, that's why, guy, might I call you down? He's like, it isn't that. It isn't that a Kristen Stewart's husband. The uh, the fucking what? What? What?

8:22 What's our lead called? USL? I think it's USL. I think you're writing I don't know for sure, and we're like at the top of that, like, what do we have to do, you know, to work our way in? Yeah, I think it's politics. I heard that ship sailed like it's like not even possible. I think it's possible. But I think part of it was pandemic because it was happening during the pandemic. The money going in. It's all about the money going in. So we had some Microsoft X exec who dumping money and then he pulled out, right, Yeah, yeah, so that was part of it. I do think we had planned to build a bigger arena. I think it's gonna happen, dude, happened. There's too much happening right now in this city. There was supposed to be some huge announcement phone some I think that was the Dwight Howard news that he might come shot. That's the news. I think that's because I saw like a political ish page, yeah, say something like Tomorrow's big News, And I was thinking all the comments I was on their page like all Star game or something in those that's how they do with didn't fucking what's his name news talk about some new gun California gun. Yeah, I thought, I think that's unrelated. But yeah, I saw him talk about that, though today I don't know. I know Steinberg yes said he's not rerunning our mayor. God, but I thought I thought, um, yeah, I thought something cools guys like Dwight Howard, here's fine that will.

9:33 I thought it was all Star game. That's what I commented everyone everyone the thing. I'm like, all Star probably m Yeah, I thought something crazy was going on and Dwight Howard here would be cool. But that's not really what I was Yeah, maybe ten years ago. I mean we kind of just having a random athletic big is like good, he's not gonna change our game team. But it's so funny, dude, Like the Big is like making a comeback. Now what the fuck? Like they were like a relevant the only the only difference is now they're back. The only difference is that they can shoot. Well, that's why we need Cousins back. Yeah, Boogie's playing fucking Spain. Uh yeah, and then I saw him playing yes in some like random little turney. I think is to be cool. What if we pick up Cousins and Dowight. Dude, if we had Cousins, I would take Poses maybe a little younger. Yeah, I would take Cousins over Sabonis. Hot take. That's a real hot take. I want to take my guy. I don't hate Sabonis. Well you get both, dude, but I just doesn't think our team. I think Cousins would be so happy with our team. I think so too, we'd have a totally different cousin in the Kentucky deals going on still and he's gonna you got the Kentucky exactly where I was going with that. You got the Kentucky connection, You got the three point range again with a with a bigger guy. Zibonis just needs to be a little more confident in his jumper. But because he can shoot too. Dot Dodwyt I think would be a good piece. DeMarcus would be a great piece. He's so flat on his feet when he shoots.

10:54 O dude, Yeah, I think looks like a shooter when he shoots. Yeah, the SODA's joke Kitchen. That dude's fucking He's different all. You can't you can't really compare him to anything. That dude is mall And I love that guy. I love that guy that does those like player like impersonations you see Jokae. Yeah, just how is really good. It's so funny. It's really good. This passing. Yeah, sports world's going I just feel like news in general is kind of going crazy right now. There's always ship going on, but now I feel there's a ton of ship because it's warmer out. Dude, when the ship gets warm, working. We're so new UFO News too, love fire me up. Oh yeah, apparently I was at lunch with a bunch of people talking UFOs and not going to the moon, and they're gonna add, you don't think we went to the moon? Not for sure, we definitely. Yeah, that's more believable than than they're being like provable UFOs. But at the same time, the Buzz Aldridge ship though, man, listen to that guy. People think he's just nuts.

11:46 He was nuts. Yeah, but he says that there's a lot of he said, those ship up there that they saw. I don't know, Buzz just trying to sell a book. Now he wasn't he didn't. So apparently like senior government official has said that, yes, indeed that we have alien captured craft. Yes, there's U and the what the things that are they're made out of not from this world there they're also this week there I did hear UFO news. I forgot what city it was, but there was fifty people have pictures of the same thing. Oh really, um, and hundreds of thousands saw it. I don't think we talked about on this, but there's a show moment of contact or a movie moment of contact. That's kind of the newest going crazy one where um that's on Amazon Prime. Maybe I forgot Yeah, I know some of those ships. Uh. It basically goes back to this place in Brazil, same idea. I think it's Brazil.

12:45 Don't quote me, but the girls. There's three sisters that literally saw a dude. Yeah, and then there's doctors that say they picked something up from there, but they won't say what, how, when, and they're saying that it was like a deranged homeless person. Yeah. Yeah. The girl's like, no, this was not a person. And the crazy part is is covered in dirt from being in the elements. Yeah. And then there is another guy that saw the same thing and documentary filmmaker takes him back to that spot. This Brazilian cat. Now he's like forty fifty, but at the time he was probably fifteen twenty. And the emotions this guy shows your breakdown is crazy is crazy. So you're kind of like, all right, man, like he saw something, whether what he saw is accurate or not, but that motherfucker something scarred him. We've all seen our fair share of dirty homeless yeah, but I don't get emotion every time I drive by one. I'd be emotional twenty four seven, especially lately, well at this particular news if a federal whistle blower about this basically saying that government has all this stuff has been called credible by an intelligence community inspector general says, the US military has quite a number of spacecraft in custody of non human origin.

13:56 Yeah, we got we got green things, reverse engineering. No, what do people hate on? Like I kind of like Thizar. Yeah, he doesn't have a really an agenda either. No, that's what makes him so credible. That's why I like him and all these so just like matter of factly and all the shit that he talked about with like how they would buzz in and everybody's like, all that sounds so made up and fucking sci fi bullshit, and then like thirty years later the pictures come out. So it's exactly how he explained it. Even the element he has didn't even know how it even worked, Like do you they put their hands in like these like little metal like wires, would like measure their hands and like do some shit. He said, that's how they would get into Area fifty one. I believe they're like, oh, that sounds made up and he draw and they're like, oh, okay, what the hell does that even do? And then there's like pictures of the actual machine. Yeah, that came out. They're like, oh, do we wrap this? And then go into I got one more, I got I got a new feature. Then I want to add to the to the show. This is you know what I mean though, Like wrap this and then we actually go into what we're suppos talking about. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna do this. Let's do this and then we'll then we'll wrap this. Okay. So I heard this on another show and it was misnamed to my to my way of thinking, they called it u rosebud and thorn, and that just sounded dirty to me. Yeah, um, Rosebudding's a thing. Yeah, Yeah, that's fucking disgusting. Yeah, what I'm talking I feel like I have it just just from me've squatting a lot. Dude. You never questioned those old school pictures of like blown out squats. I don't know about squats, but we AM's world. We all I don't want to mention names either, but we have like two friends that that happened too. And it's not from anal pro lapse. Yeah, not anymore. Yeah, where their butt fell out of

15:28 their butt. No, I don't think it's just genetics. But I swear to God, I've been doing butt keegels, thinking maybe they'll trying to keep everything together. Maybe I'm getting old. Yeah you're thirty five yet December, I'm thirty five. We've seen minutes. Yeah, real band, And so I'm worried about my butt rose budding. It's totally not in irrational fear. Thank you, thank you, thank you for what do they say validating me? So for this, I want to say, not rosebud, but just like rose, Like every rose has a thorn, right, okay, So kiss from a rose? Yeah, kiss from a rose. So do you have a rose this week or thorn this week that you want to share?

16:11 Like a good thing? About that a good thing a bad thing? You can either do both or just one us do a gratitude. I like roses. Um nothing pops on my head. The weather's insane. I thought about that. I don't know if it's a it's a I guess it's a rose or a thorn, depending where you come from or what you're into. But normally I was writing to the gym this morning on my bicycle at like nine, and I had to wear a hoodie, yeah, which is unheard of in June. Like I used to run a basketball camp, so most of them were in June, back back in the day. And outdoor courts, indoor courts. You'd have to do a mix because we have hundreds of kids and I just remember dying. So I having some seventy degree weather normally. Also, our springs quote unquote spring weather is like a week. Yeah, and we've had like a month, which is very nice. So there's my rose maybe. Yeah, you know, I would say my rose is just kind of just kind I've really been getting back at it in the gym, feeling you know, feeling good, feeling the energy, dialing, dialing back the junk, you know, because i'd still like train occasionally and in the kind of junkie here, but kind of reeling things in a little bit, getting things tighter, a little routine. Yeah, and I'm feeling good about it and it feels very manageable. It's not very the uh, I don't feel like it's much of the time of year for routine, but I feeling good routine too, you like know, most people don't start with even with work. Yeah goodlow good flow right now, I feel pretty good flow about to Yeah, well, I'm gonna throw a thorn in because nobody else did.

17:33 Yeah, and it's just just a long term thorn for me, just kind of revisited this week. And that is UM, when people do business in ways that don't make any sense to me at all, or make any sense to anybody else. This is you know, this was a problem five years ago, UM when I observed people doing business that didn't make any sense at all, and then we just re encountered that with with a situation that we were trying to get into where there was just no logic at all that would break through to anyone. And I don't understand why anyone gets into business and then doesn't like want to adhere to business principles at all. I understand being a disruptor, but that's essentially a marketing thing and sometimes a structural thing, but it's not a way of doing business thing. I wonder, because I can only speak on doing business in the last like fifteen years since I've done it, I wonder if it is part of the trend that business is like cool now because everyone wants to do business now. But there's less business men or professionals where I wonder if that was the case, because at least growing up and even my dad's like generation, it was like go to college, get a job, and like be a professional, but you're not like business entrepreneur. Now it's like side hustle, do your gig, like find your passion and chase that like build your own thing. Like that's the narrative.

18:56 So I wonder if it's shoving too many people in that world who shouldn't be in there. Yeah, and then they don't act that way or they just don't know, like yes, some basics like given just communication. I have another one. It's probably too I'll do it all fair. It's probably too suita blasted. But yeah, the same idea. Like the worst professional thing I ever dealt with ever yesterday, I already deleted it from my brains. Professional. Yeah, it's probably we'll do it all fair. That's clo' that's a real short term. It was really bad. The worst one I've ever dealt with was a guy who actually it was Daniel Snyder's company before he bought the the Washington football team what are they called now? The Washington football team? They have the name. I don't know commanders, but I think they're trying to change the chage that again. Yeah, because it's being sold.

19:42 Oh again. Yeah, that's a fucking doomed franchise. Yeah, it's it's being so yeah, everyone three everyone. I wanted Daniel Snyder to sell it because he's a biggish owner. But like this guy that worked for him, one of his senior vice presidents, absolute asshole. Like I've never hung up on anybody in a business phone call before, and it was the same thing, like can we adhere to like standard civility practices within Yeah, like do not scream at me. I can't hear you when you scrim at me, and you're scrimming at the wrong person because I can't affect any change on the thing you're bitching about. Oh and by the way, what you're doing was illegal, So we're not gonna be rolling along with that. And like just not getting through at all, not know anything, no no realization at all that they're well you get a lot of you get a lot of narcissists in yeah, in business for sure, right you know. Uh, so you've got to deal with that. Yeah, did ever tell you guys a story about UM Dark Canada website. I think so off shit, I haven't that people might want to hear. It's a quick story. The only time we've really had bad business, you know, like we usually are pretty good with like fucking with people that were friends with Brier to like any other kind of relationship. Anything we've done with most people has been people that we know or I've been around and the like, you know, it's do something, let's you know, let's let's talk kind of thing. You vet them pretty good. But this time, you know, and then backfired. Yeah,

21:15 some company reaches out to us. You know, we're having some early success. You know, it's early days of c K and we're UM, you know, things are moving and shaking early, and this company's like, oh, we will run your Canada website for you. I got to worry about shipping to Canada anymore. We weren't currently shipping to Canada, or we were, but we wanted to expand our can you know, and it's expensive when you're that, when you're that new into business, you think, I need a fucking hub in every country. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like that's what the old school kind of distribution kind of how it worked right, and now you can send things to Canada for like nine dollars, which is like kind of expensive, but also like also can be more than that, but like you know what I'm saying, Yeah, it's more affordable now where before it wasn't the case anyways. So then okay, we set it up. They mirror our website. Things are going well, they're doing good with sales, and then I just, I guess I just one of us had a hunch. I remember who it was. You're going the site to make sure everything looks the same, everything's going good, open it up in the landing page is like some equipment company. These fucking guys start selling their own like merchant equipment on Kevin and Kilos dot com Canada without telling us or asking us and whatever. And we call them up. We're like, hey, guys, like what the hell is going on here? Like this is highly fucking illegal and also like breach a contract and like we're done. Yeah, like there's no coming back from this long story short, the guy fuckings get starts getting hysterical, causing is seen like oh, I got people's livelihoods

22:48 on the line. I'm like, well you should have thought of that. Yeah, if you saw before you started using our name to sell your own ships, sense, it was in our contract you couldn't sell anything else on site. It was like I had to be exact mirror duplicate of our site, Like there's ways of doing that on Tropify and blah blah blah. And it was just like and like what do you what do you who? Where? Did you ever think that that was going to be okay? Yeah? How do you expect that to play out? And then the guy's dad called us. I think his dad invested in the ship with him, and they got and we told them they could sell off the remaining inventory they had. We weren't like fucking dicks about it, like, oh, you can't sell the inventory that you bought from us, you know, like you know, it was like we let them sell what they had. Yeah, they're using abusing your name. Yeah, they were just using our name to sell your like equipment stuff. It was like this whole fucking scam. It started getting some steam. Yeah, why don't they approach right, like again the profession of professionality about it. Hey, keviny Kilos, I have an idea about this equipment company. I want to start, and I was wondering, is what if I used this URL to sell kuffny kilos and mine and I gave you X amount of what I made? Probably would have said, okay, yeah, or would you like me to send you some of this equipment and maybe you could try it out and we could almost do the reverse mirror where you could sell my equipment in America. Also, you're Captaine million ways right, Yeah, like just just throw options out, open a conversation, see what happens, rather than yeah, who the fuck's just doing shit? That's out of left field? Yeah, it was crazy. Anyways, that was kind of my bad business two cents crazy. Well, on that note,

24:21 let's take a little break. Okay, when we're back. Connor McGregor. Yeah, so McGregor forever, yeah, forever like Batman, Like he's Batman. Where is anyone here? Uh? Connor McGregor fan, do wegin with? Yeah? I'd say I'm a fan, all right, Jim. Yeah, I love the ufc UM and I really enjoyed Connor's come up. And then I took a break from just watching shit, probably because we're building this gym and so H kind of lost and now I'm a little bit back into it. But I used to watch every major fight. Now I watched big, big ones, and then I would I was actually not a McGregor fan, but not like I put him to the side, like he was my villain, you know what I mean, which he did well right, like you either loved him or you hated him. He's kind of a heel, but that's what he did well, and so I enjoyed McGregor. But I was never a fan, but then watching this, this is my second time through, you do become more of a fan. He is more likable than I would expect it, right, But I also think that he's been in this documentary. He must have cooperated with it, because he's painted in a very favorable I think this is his ship. Feels like I'm sure his team.

25:38 He's got so much money. I'm sure his team has his hands in the script. The other thing, too, is how these sports docs. And I love sports docs because I love sports, and I think the emotional attachment you can get to people or events is just so easily grouped into sports, I guess, but this one in particular, even Last Dance, like all of them, you can change the narrative so much by editing. Yeah, and and and they make that uh us the whole thing, US the whole thing. Yeah, okay, so I watch the whole thing like a couple months ago, but last night I just rewatched uh two episodes and even in the first two episodes, which is obviously the goal of the documentary, like they just flip a fucking switch, right, he goes from WWE heel to running for president. Yeah, right, Like he just becomes mister pr Like, hey, he's so good to see you, you know, I'm like, holy fuck, Like this is obviously edited so well to show these Yeah, it's yeah, I think different human. Yeah, we've talked about it before, like these are what they call hagiographies, where it's just it's congratulatory and celebratory of the person or not a good examination because they like the one case, the one US like assault case that they talk about in the thing is one of like eight or something on him. Yeah, it could be one with the wheelchair. The wheelchair talk about that was literally I watched that like basically live. That was the craziest thing. I remember that.

27:03 I thought I thought it was scripted a fake Yeah, yeah, it looks like it was fake. Everybody thought, like, I mean, a lot of people were like, wait a second, It's like, what is UFC doing? Dude? It was literally wwe Like, that's literally stone cold going to the parking lot and trying to run some undertaker. Imagine flying from Ireland to come do that. Yeah yeah, yeah, well it could be right. He flew half across the country to like fight or support his buddies fighting. But it is believable. Um and Dana White, I think, is quoted in that thing. He's like, oh yeah, like this whole game is about respect and he lose respect. You know, these guys aren't and he mentions also he's like the guys that fight, a lot of these guys aren't wired like the rest of us. Like Dana's pretty wise, whether you like him or not, Like he says some hy shit sometimes, and in this documentary they obviously picked some of his wiser quotes, but it just plays so much in here, like and we've all met some ufccats. Some of them are very normal and much like us, and some of them are wired very different. Yes, yes, yeah for sure, yes, like all that statement of the year, yeah yeah, yeah. He he went from having you know, this public persona that was very very bold and brash and whatever, just fucking sounding like Colin Farrell. Yeah no, he literally I thought he was running for president. Yeah, like even what the interviewers he's like, yeah, I just match energies and like his whole everything about him so different than watching the Grindy Connor though, like of him just like showing up every day like that ship was like, man, like this guy really knows how to like go all in and and his trainers talking about him like a lot of trainers talk about their athletes that way, but they say like,

28:34 no, he just likes to train. You could just see it. And also in his body types right like right now he looks like complete dog shit. I'm watching the Toughs a new Tough season, yeah, and that just started. He looks so terrible. Really live in the wealth life dude, he's got like the coke bloat face. He's just like clearly like off of like some serious cycling. Yeah, you know, like because he's got those weird arms. To France No, well kind of yes, top fifty to fifteen, top fifteen Tour de France or um. But uh yeah, it's uh it's interesting, Uh, I kind of did you guys notice like kind of him in the Dana relationship was interesting. Yeah, it was more of like a partnership than like he works for Danana or I guys a fighter.

29:19 It's more just like they're on the same playing field. I did assume, which is interesting. Yeah, I did assume that. And I've heard and obviously rubbed elbows with some of these guys in same with WWE's just a decent um reference I think is that once you make it to a certain level, you kind of are yeah, like because what if and we're seeing other drama in the world with like um YouTube and Twitch and kick and all these streaming platforms, Like, once you elevate to a certain level, you kind of the ball is in your court because if if McGregor at his height and coulbib or whoever, and he kind of did with the Mayweather thing, but imagine he just says like, yeah, I'm gonna go bare knuckle fight or I'm gonna go do these jiu jitsu tournaments. UC is going to take a big hit, h like and Ghano did it, and they took a little hit, but in Ghana wasn't even close to the level of McGregor, like Greg McGregor was two UFC arguably what Jordan was to basketball. You don't you don't watch basketball, You don't have a clue you know who the fuck Jordan is. You don't have a clue about UFC. You kind of know cage fighting or this and that, and you know who McGregor is. So like at his height, if he kind of I wouldn't say he had the potential to ruin the UFC, but he had the potential to make a fat dent in Dana's life. And so it makes sense that they kind of do see more eye to eye than what you'd expect, and maybe not quite as equal as that, but like we know you're a favor and when you look at the relationship between him and Dana, why they do seem like buddies. Yeah, very it seems very close. Yeah, and and and and yeah, maybe not because your eyes direct impact personally, but like Team Alpha Male historically, like he's he's like a feeder to the UFC. Figure out how many

30:52 guys came out of there, right, That's what I mean. Yeah, So like if if they have a bad relationship household names, then your eye clearly can get his guy's ear and go to a different league. Go to isn't a gono going to the other league? Now? The fight one something like that, Yeah, not Pride, but yeah, some new one called something fight one. So like it is because they don't have like insane contracts unless her McGregor those guys could literally just say screw you and go somewhere else. Apparently like that company is internationally bigger than the UFC. Oh maybe yeah, boxing they do all kinds of ship or like they get the same amount of attendance at those fights rubbin elbows more in like the world of that. Like I feel like the UFC is when you just say, like fitness and then obviously where we all are, like we're deep into these niches of weightlifting, powerlifting and CrossFit and all of us know a lot of people across all those boards. I feel like UFC's like that. So you go uf C, and then that you have like the jiu jitsu grappling crowd, then you have the mutai crowd, you have all these different crowds. I started to dig in there more with my last trip hanging out with Nicky rod Nikki Rodrigo, shout of my boy like one of the best grapplers in the world arguably like you know, the Lebron James maybe of that world, as as Ryan Gordon's the Michael Jordan. But um, the niche within the knee of the niche is crazy to me, you know because then like big time UFC fighters are calling Nikki to come coach him. Nikki's fucking twenty six, you know, but he's just such a savant and what he does. Um. Yeah, the different leagues around the world are like that. Or you see ADCC, which is like kind of the World Cup of Grappling. M the crowds are crazy. The crowds are packed. It's like a UFC crowd, you

32:23 know. So like there's stuff going on. Jiu jitsu is also becoming so massive too, like like his YouTube's going crazy. Yeah, it's just it's just blowing the fuck up. Everybody's done. Everybody's doing it. Everybody's got a blue belt now, you know what I mean, Like all of our like how many of our friends a blue belts? Now everybody you can go you can walk outside and Sacramento and find like some world class gyms, so right, you can go to Ultimate vidas you go like one world like there's like really good yeah, like grappling, jiu jitsu, whatever, it's probably more all around here. There's probably more jiu jitsu gyms that are legitimate than they are like wait, lifting or power lifting gyms in the high wrestling is a fucking like uh forced to be reckoned with later school like again and they got like my buddy Nick Jordan's got that he's from Alpha Male. He uh opened up his like academy in Elk Grove, like the wrestling camp, like if you got fucking if you're that's where people are going to train wrestling there, you know what I mean. Like it's like you want to get fucked up. Yeah, like if you want to people out, it was a place to be. I'm good. Yeah, I'm good too. I don't understand some people just like to get physical. If yeah, if I'm gonna hit somebody, I ain't playing, Yeah I want to. I want to just like hit him and have it be over, you know. Yeah, Yeah, I don't know. I just I'm just claustrophobic. And you wrestled in middle school C wrestling, Yeah yeah, I uh wasn't a big fan of the rules, like I got in a lot of trouble for handlocks.

33:45 Oh yeah, you know really like that. I kind of would black out. That's where, like ADCC and like other grappling is even more complicated than power lifting. They got the million feds in each tournament has Yeah, you're completely different. You can do body slams and sound where you can't do him in submissions only you can lock hands and some Yeah. Yeah, it's a brutal world. Yeah, but hanging out with those guys, man, they were cool. I hung out with like the whole B team For those listening that are into grappling jiu jitsu, they were just so cool. Bro, Yeah they're sick, they're usually really chill. Yeah, these guys were so nice. They reminded me of like the good group of powerlifters, you know, like they get after it and I'm literally hanging out with like five of the best on the planet and they're just so nice, so normal, just regular cats trying to figure it out. Yeah, for sure, it's very similar, but then you see, yeah, then you get personalities like McGregor.

34:29 His early interview clips were cool, like because I think that was a better balance of who he actually was as a fighter, and he was like nineteen or something. Yeah, but he's like, I'm going to the UFC like he had. He had like a stern confidence rather than like a show. And I think one of the big reasons I didn't like McGregor's I could tell he was putting on a little bit where like because then people throw references like Ali and all this stuff. I'm like, dude, Ali is like mensa, smart, witty, i Q like Allie said some of the funniest shit, and he would dance around your brain. He's so good and like McGregor would like, like make a fart joke to me, you know, like he talked more loudly than these other guys because some of the ufccats are literally dead, you know, they got no charisma. And he was funny at times for sure, but I could tell some of it was like forced or like ramped up. And he was obviously a worked He made ship tons of money and he got to where he wanted to go. But for me, just being such a big all Lee fan, I think that's kind of what turned him. Healed to me is I was like, yeah, but he's just not like all these interviews if you watch him, are so fucking funny. I wait, I get what you're saying. I kind of went in like flows or phases with McGregor were like I really liked his come up, and then when he got there, it was kind of like, Okay, I'm kind of tired of this guy. Yeah, like he's grabbing Kabib's belt. I'm like, well, I get it, and then he's like yeah he goes he takes too far and that kind of turns people off, and then you kind of then then you watch something like this, just like, man, this guy's a really good family guy. Yeah he seemed like it. But for me, I'm like, oh man, this guy's like a really good dad. One thing got really emotional and I'm not even a dad, so maybe you guys got emotional too. Where he did get his ass who up and he's talking Danae and I give a fuck. And then

36:01 and then the only thing that changed his mood is when his kid runs over there. Yeah, yeah that got me. I I didn't like, I've choked up on other things, but that one, like I definitely felt that, but like it didn't like choke me out, but I was like, oh man, like he needed that because I could see him change, and you wouldn't think a guy like that would because how he acts, he acts kind of like a narcissist, but I don't think he is. Now he would act like one and then going yeah and then and then his kid hit and you could actually see his whole demeanor change. I'm like, oh see, like he's in there. He's just stuck in his head right now. I think he thinks he has to act like a like a yeah, you know, an egomaniac, a narcissist in order to be success. Yeah, he's trying to be Alia. Yeah, where Allie's just naturally so charismatic and like cocky, and Alie believed his ship, but he also didn't believe it at the same time. Yeah, well, and I don't all that comes from his fear, right, which I which, which is why I liked the early McGregor because I get it like I get it in regular sports, like I act like I'm the ship in basketball and powerlifting to fight out any demons that are tell me I can't so let alone. You're going to fight another man to the death. You have to do that. I understand that.

37:05 But yeah, his like true confidence or true affirmations of how he's acting versus yeah, just the you know, the dramatic ass one that wasn't even that. He's taken shots of whiskey at the promos and I'm like, I get it, you're selling whiskey, but like it just felt so forced sometimes. But then on the opposite of that, I don't like pushy McGregor either, like where he's just like, yes, I you respect everyone, and like, all right, man, I get it, but how do you flip the switch so hard, like give me a little fire? Now? I think that's probably the real guy, and I think maybe I think that the other part of it is the thing he thinks he has to be. Yeah, and then like little stuff they talk about him like in his trainers obviously, and it's part of the narrative of the documentary, but it probably is true for a lot of people. And that's where I'm in a good flow with work and lifting right now too, is like most of us.

37:51 I think you power lifters as well. The first thing that popped in my head is like they all think they have to lift angry. Ye, I have to get fired up. I have to listen to to Satan to fucking pull this thing to get that doubt out of my head. But his trainers said it too. Is like McGregor's the best when he's having fun and he's focused on training because he likes to train, so have fun training and so like, I literally think ninety five percent of powerlifters are the same. We're all human. Like, you don't have to sniff ammonia slap your back like just because you saw one guy do that, you do that to get the doubt out because you haven't doven deep enough into your own self awareness to know what allows you to succeed. But once you figure out that you can do it other methods, whether it's calm, whether it's fun, whether it's this and that, we're all probably better off over there. Um. The amount of people that really get off by hate or really get off by anger, I think it's far and few between. I would agree it's just the default to numb those boys. Yeah, if you're going to do this and you have to do it like this, yeah, it's because you see everyone else do. It's monkey see monkey do. Yeah. That's so much a powerlifting period. Yeah, and kind of any any sport. Somebody's getting into it for like a maximum effort kind of. Yeah, maybe not as much in bodybuilding, Yeah, mister Ronnie Coleman, Yeah maybe yeah, but he's yea lifting heavy ass weights. But he also having fun. He's having a good ass, right, You're right, that's why Ronnie's having About example, Ronnie and Arnold, I think are probably the best best examples. You see Arnold stuff, he's joking around the guy next to him, but then he'll go get a set, and he's getting after a set, and then he's joking about the guy out here. He's joking about his calves and yeah, yeah,

39:22 that's so good. And that's kind of what I was talking about. In terms of Ali. I think that like Ali had no no problem believing that he was the greatest, no problem believing that, and when but when he talked about it to other people, there was kind of a teasing undertone to it, and it was not really self deprecating, but kind of anyway, it was like tolerable because it was so much more nuanced than what everybody else who's a copycat? But are we gonna ignore are we just gonna not talk about the fact that all those Ali fights were probably fixed? Though I don't know yeah, we're talking about persona though, and not you know, I know, yeah, I think because I was thinking about like Mike Tyson, right, which is the other one you throw in the conversation, who really was angry, but like his childhood was so different. Yeah, like he did have demons, he was actually fighting. Yeah, And and his anger did seem to put him on a new level of success where like, yeah, even Ali's not like angry like that, he's talking shit McGregor.

40:19 I mean, who knows, they don't dig into it a ton, but it seems like his childhood was probably okay, you know what I mean, Like it probably wasn't the best thing ever, but he definitely wasn't in the Mike Tyson levels. He said he stepped into the gym because he was tired of being afraid. Yeah, and and was like whoa, that was fucking heavy. Yeah. He's such a good fucking speaker. He is pretty good when he's like talking, he's talking normal. He goes like the stuff with him doing the community service in the church, always kind of like that philosophical thoughts. Is that the right word? Yeah, Yeah, just a kind of his like just like him and just his observing and then like digesting like information the way that he and the way he can like articulate that, and it seemed genuine when he's like reading the stuff in the church, it seemed genuine. That's what this documentary made me a little more with this kid.

41:02 He seems genuine with his real thoughts. He seems genuine. Yeah, that part I do like about him and him just talking to the people at the church. You feel like we really like got something out of that. Even with the kids, when he's talking to the New Irish kids, Like that wasn't like the most articulate best speech he's ever given, but it seemed genuine at that at that awful sponsor where he's like wearing the gloves steering the interview. What was that? I don't know? That pretty like okay, we're gonna give an extra Yeah, that's while you're talking. That was weird. That was really weird. We're also that place probably paid him a shit ton of money probably, so this thing was pretty long. Yeah we're talking over four hours. Yeah, about four hours. It says it's part one old lord, like who knows right, because they did they said that with the Kanye one two and Nothing's come out in like a year or so. Maybe they just kill it, but it says right, I think it says part one, episode one, two three four, he hasn't fought since. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, maybe they do a retirement version, yeah, because I mean, dude, like he's supposed to fight Michael Chandler based off of this tough thing. But like the Dana just did a press conference about it the other day and it's like, yeah, you know, it's kind of tough to get these like I don't even think they're gonna fight.

42:07 Yeah, they might not. Does every tough coach fight each other? Still? Well kind of yeah, yeah, and that's what they're supposed to fight. What's Tough on ESPN ESPN there's been two episodes now, Um I heard they're pretty good. They're pretty good. But the way that they fucking set it up kind of turned it into it a little bit of a disaster because it ended up being like veterans verse, like these new guys the fighters, and like it's just like veterans that haven't made it though, but they're veterans that have been in the UFCA more. Yeah, so it's like they're just starching these fucking new guys. It's like it's like the all new guys. Yeah, yeah, they've never been in the UC. Yeah, it's kind of fucked. And McGregor has all the new guys and Chandler's kind of got all these vets that are just fucking kicking these guys's asses. Interesting, So it's like, well, these guys already aren't good enough to compete in the UFC anymore, and now they're just beating up these new kids that now we're gonna fucking like get set back. Yeah, that don't need to be fighting these like experienced guy you know what I mean. It's yeah, it's a knock on their name. It's probably slowing their progress. Apparently only four hund thousand people watched like the first episode, so it's not doing great. I thought it was kind of hyped because of McGregor. It was supposed to be, but it didn't really interesting. It didn't really get the numbers I heard.

43:20 But um, yeah, Ivan doug In. But yeah, McGregor is definitely not in fighting condition. Yeah, like you can just tell he's just because he was like a year ago. Right. Yeah, he's thick, dude, he's thick. His face is really fat. He just doesn't. He's drinking fucking his beer now, you know, he just sells like a guennis now oh yeah, it's called something else. But he basically has a beer company now and he's later that's fucking everywhere. He's fucking filling him up. Everyone's got a company, man, that must be where we're sucking up. That was up. He sold proper twelve, which I didn't realize, but yeah, but he's still like the money yeah, yeah, like two or mill Yeah. I don't know if he how much of that he got. Yeah, I think he had. I think that was just cut.

44:00 Yeah, I think you had a nice chunk. I believe it. I mean, anybody that I know that buys whiskey now that you should buy Jamison, they're just buying Proper twelve now yeah yeah, yeah, if you're going low end, but they don't know anything about whiskey. Yeah, no, for sure. These are for your fucking frat bros. Yeah, weekend drinking the bottle in one night, yeah, the weekend. Morerior. They're bringing to a party that you're not trying to like share a fucking yeah, you know, twenty year fucking triple malt or whatever. The f I don't know about you bring a thirteen dollar bottle of Yeah, I don't think the boys. I think you'd like to, like the backyard barber. Yeah, we're dumping it with a DIAPEPSI bring that to the Yeah, backyard barbecue. You're mixing it with Coca cola. Yeah, I mean that's why Hennessy kills it right, ain't no one's sipping down with Hennessey like that. You're doing that fucking uh bsop or that Uh what's the other one? That like super expensive one. It's like Saint something. The top of it's like King King Louis or some shit. Yeah, it's like five hundred dollars. Yeah, you should regular Henessey. It's a bunch of dia cooke. The vsop is like the Nightser one, like the middle grade one that was like an eight hundred dollars bottle. Yeah, crazy, I know. I liked, I liked I liked it. I like the family stuff. I think mostly fucker loves rowing. Yeah, yeah, terrible form. I was gonna say, you said you heard his trainer, right. His trainer says, like, uh, you're not trying to be a rower. We're just trying to ktch in ship. Yeah yeah, yeah, they said nineteen minutes at some point.

45:22 I'm guessing like that was probably his five K. Probably has like five K sprints. I've been doing like me cons I told you, and we just do like ten cow bouts. Yeah, I think I've done a lot of ten K rows and they take me about forty to forty five minutes, about forty minutes normally about forty three to forty five minutes. So I'm guessing that that nineteen was like a five K. Yeah, yeah, it's time probably. So he just wasn't finishing any anything of them with his legs at all. Know, he was using all but up back and then just like super late. Yeah. It was weird. And he was doing the rowing with those pins in his hand. Yeah, he is a bad Memoja, he don't have a ship. He just can't help himself. Yeah, the whole foot stuff. I love that story with like the foot injury. Yeah, there he sets together nicely like you knew something was gonna happen. Yeah, but there's multiple right, his toes locked up. He was all fucked up.

46:09 Yeah, Yeah, I forgot how many obstacles he did have to face. Like the ankle cracking ones is obviously the famous one because it happened in the ring and it's so visual. Um, but yeah, his toes locking up his wrisk deal like he he went through it and obviously a lot of fighters do. But but but he came back from it, you know, which is pretty impressive. I thought it was curious that they didn't really spend very much time on the on the Mayweather fight. Yeah, I wonder if it was a next to nine. Yeah, yeah, they just mentioned it. It just sort of impassing. It was even less weight than um Poiller and the rest of them. Oh well then then Michael Jordan playing baseball gets you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I wonder why it might have been a licensing thing, right, it might have because this might have been funded by Dana or who knows what. And then uh yeah, because I was I mean, culturally that was a giant fucking deal. Yeah.

47:00 When yeah, when when that camp was going on, we actually, um the old Show talked to George Lockhart who was there doing his nutrition stuff. Yeah. So but that actually brings me to another point. Uh, when I look at the IMDb on this, there is only one person listed on the IMDb as appearing on screen, and that's Connor McGregor. There is no listing for any wife else, other guys, his wife, the kids, any of his any of his camp I mean nobody. His wife is down. Yeah, she's in it. She's all in. Yeah, ride or die, any one of them. I would have Christen Stewart's that she when he lost. You see the loss in her face, fucking shaken. She's trade and when she's winning, she she's happier. Yeah, yeah, that's what she's about. It shout. They probably get it on. Yeah, but they popping out kids, right. Could you imagine him with his gorillas at in bed, all fucking horned up from trend fucking grillat hat his iconic bro. He kind of I want to get a big one. I want to get a big one. Uh like like it's like when you can put on I want to put one on. Brock mak him Connor McGregor for hellowe bro. He looks perfect for it. It does look like yeah his face, yeah, he's got that blonde hair, gave a little like fake beard, just like scruff. Yeah, that would be funny. Sat on him, that'd bet funny. That'd be funny. I haven't think about that watching He could be a Gregor's kid, you could, you could look like, yeah got the yeah, he got that irish look would be a hell of funny. Rocks ripped too. Yeah, he's so fun he'd love that dud.

48:30 He rock seen a lot of UFC. Oh yeah, really, Yeah, I used to watch a lot of UFC when uh yeah, when he got home from the hospital. Like there's I mean, that's during COVID R UFC was the only thing on. Yeah, they only tapped a little bit into the fight island ship too, right. They were putting out fights every fucking weekend during COVID. They're so smart though, because no other support was rocking. No, the fact that's I think what's honestly not saved UFC, but like put them in like another level of success. Was like the COVID h Dana so fucking smart for that. I wonder why, because because the NBA bubble happened kind of quick. But the bubble basketball was so terrible.

49:12 But I wonder why it was like that, Like the viewership was way down the back, the deliverable was bad, but the UFC yeah kind of stayed of floats. It was fucking weird. It was weird. It was weird. I didn't realize until now, like looking back that that first Dustin fight was in the bubble. Yeah, fucking fight Island or whatever. Our boy works with Dustin two. I think second was the second second second, that's why. Man, Yeah, Phil Drue, I think it is Dustin's guy's a buddy of ours. Have you guys had his hot sauce Dustin No, what's up with the fighters? And like random shit approbably he fucking was like made millions of dollars really really supposed to be really fun. My boy Nicky Rod's coming out with a beef jerkey. Yeah, I need to make something like that. Yeah, okay, something stupid like that. Yeah, hot sauce saus would be sick coffee and fuse hot sauce. We used to do people, Oh you could do that on like some chicken like a doo.

50:01 Well, we used to do like the rubs. Yeah, we use like the coffee rub. We'd had recipes for that. Yeah, but we should just like bottle it up and sell it for sure. Steak steak coffee steak. Yeah, some pr blend salt in there and ship yeah, i'd be solid. Sounds delicious. Well, I'd love a good like a good blend. A good steak blend is like the pepper, the salt, maybe a little garlic, yeah, and then that's kind of it and just maybe yeah, and then then the coffee. Yeah, you do a hint of coffee. Yeah, throw that on on a tri tip. Yeah. I had a two pound triy tip last weekend to yourself. Yeah, nice. You know what I'm thinking about? Somebody I was like, I don't get me hungry. I knew I was coming down here today. I was like, I think I'm gonna call in like a fucking plate from tank House and then like to go and eat the fucking meat in my car to the brisket banks.

50:45 We were talking about the food down here being if you now, but there are lank houns, there's some spots, there's some holes at it ripped. Yeah, tank House brisket, I think it's really good. Yeah, I'll probably get that. And I've had all the brisket in Texas. Don't come at me, you dumb motherfuckers, because all those motherfuckers that's all the tastes well, and they're not even into food. That's what I don't like. It's these motherfuckers that live in Texas aren't into food. And they'd be like, well, you haven't at or a brisket, like, but you don't even like briskets, So I don't even like food. You and you motherfucker haven't even left Texas. Yeah, like, you don't even know what's out there. So I've eating in New York, I've eatn in La, I've eaten in the capitals of food. Yeah, Vegas, Yeah, fuck you and your Texas brisket. There's good brisket there, yes, but I so. My buddy's born and raised Texas guy traveled around for everywhere for weightlifting.

51:30 He's like, you want to go you want some good barbecue while we're here. I'm like, yeah, dude, He's like, no know where he took me this chain, Rudy's. I don't remember the name, it's the name of gas station. Yes, Rudy's. Yeah, Rudy's again, and it was some of the best Bardy's good. It's yeah, it was huge. It's a Texas change, Yeah, it's huge. Yeah. He's like, hey, man, like all the other ship's good, like this is just as good. Yeah. No, it's like in and out, like he's in and out the best burger you have on the planet. No, but it's a good burger. I mean, I don't know many burgers I like more than in and out, though, I gotta take you this place at all. Austin blew my mind, really, Michelin star Chef opened in the back of a bar. I forgot what it's called. This is something weird like do not disturb or not today or something like that. I think you should leave. I have a headache. It's called something like that.

52:10 Shout out David Lucas for bringing us, and uh, all they have is burger and you can't change it. You say no, sauce to kick that ass out Burger fries. It's like a super Nazi. Yeah for what two things on the menu and they bang bro like yes, in and out's good. I'm gonna eat out. Susie smacks though. Susie's kid, Susie down here. We were stuck in Edmonton the airport for like eight hours on Monday, and I had a burger there and like Alberta, right, you have beef. It was really good. It was just just totally simple burger, just like you know, smash burgers are back in that Chris, you know what's underrated here Willie's. Yeah, Willie's Bomb. Willie's is a really good burger in Sack and no one really talks about. It's the chili too that you got that like a local in and out with some more options.

53:01 Yeah, it's patterned after um Chained in southern California. It really is a good Ummies. We also got some good fried chicken here, so yeah, we have a good decent barbecue obviously, Asian foods, really good American food. Sushi fucking smacks here. Yeah, we got a bunch of good ship. We do have a good We have the best sushi I think, like you can get in in like not by the ocean. Where's your your go to spot for sushi? Well, okay, my like go to like any time during the week spot, Yeah is Sushi Cafe behind Crew. Yeah, yeah that's good. That's my spot, like any any day of the week, it's sushi. Yeah. But if I want like some elevated sushi, I'm either gonna go to like a Crew or it's Umi in fucking off a Grant line in Wilton. Never heard of the five star class better than fucking mccooney. Really, but it's in off a Grant Line in Elk Grove over like Wilton Roads, the Sticks in the country. It's always packed. Yeah, because it's close to Elk grow everybody can drive there. It's ten minute drive. But it is better than it's like in between, like as far as like quality, I feel like it's in between Crew and uh uh uh mccooney. It's like fills that gap in between those two. I'm kind of an ogy locy w to the original original. It may be a little over priced. Now that's talking about the one I like, uh, fair Oaks, fair Oaks, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that one's on Hazel it'soking that little like down slope all yeah, the side of the bridge. Yeah yeah, that's my hood. Yeah, I've been in that one once.

54:34 Used all the time. I think our pizza is good here. We got solid pizza, that's true, Like obviously we're not New York, but we got really good fucking pizza with Zelda's pretty heavily. I like Zelda's. They don't put If they don't put Zilla's in that movie, they're not they're not going. No, they won't. But some people don't like the cornmeal crust. But I like that. I like Chicago Fire. That's what makes it. That's what makes it Zelda's. Yeah, it does. That's why I can like that and Chicago Fire. I grew up with the Chicago Fire family. I think that's really good. Bro. So next time you go to a Zelda's. Have you been to Zelda's yet? I have a as dull as the eighties? Okay, oh it's it's probably the same. So they do the same spot, I assume, right, but yeah, it was really same. Yeah, they do an artichoke dip. Sounds delicious, but they use the and then it has that cormeal crust. It was like a chip, No, bro, it's like a fucking it's like an art It's like a dip, but they make it like the pizza with the cornmeal crust, then the artichoke dip and the cheese and the shit in there, and then you get chips with it or whatever bread bowl kind of thing. I like, would just the cornmeal crusted, you could or would slice that bit you need. It's true. I think it's liquid fall apart. That sounds delicious, but you could definitely break it up and then like use it to dip, break it up and like spoon it. Yeah you could. That sounds good. Yeah, it was their cormeal crust is good. Uh.

55:45 Roma's obviously way out there is pretty solid. Jo Vanni's both Roma Roma's one or two to the one out there by the SPCA. Yeah, they're both good. We went out there to some Kaream barbecue, which is solid. It's not the best Korean barbecue. It's one by the park down here. Yeah by uh what's the park with the golf course. There's the Romans out there, Oh lant Lampark. Yeah, oh maybe there's two Romans. Yeah one Lampark one's good too. Yeah, the SPCA one's good. And then um, yeah, Korean barbecue is not the best I've ever had. I'd better in Vegas, in LA. But it's good. It's not you're not gonna go. Yeah, we got Danny went to some place down here where you grill your own food like steaks and shit. Oh um, butterscotch, butter scotch. Yeah. Fans weren't there, that's fancy. They were kind of dressed up, but they might have been more somewhere else. It's it's the diviers it's the same people that that did. They used to have a good burger spot that closed down. What was it called in Diviers, It was inside Diviers. It was like during COVID they had this burger place and they made fucking bomb ass burgers and then it shut down. That's some of the best chicken is out of Goldfield. It's a ghost kitchen Goldfield. They make chicken. It's a ghost kitchen. You gotta you gotta doored ashen and I think it's one of the best chickens. We've got interesting, Yeah, chicken. I think chicken everywhere it is going crazy. But hot whatever chicken here the hot Chicken CRAZI came ten of them. Yeah. We got Nashville hard Yeah, yeah, we did. We did. Oh yeah, the hot Boys. That's good. What's the one that's an Oak Park Chicken that's really good. I know Fixing the barbecue spot. That might be the chicken.

57:15 Yeah, I don't know, fix probably Fixings. Yeah, we got the foods fan. I love South South's good. It's gone, it's gone. What she's opening up Jimmy Johns or whatever the fuck it is. Sound no, no, no, she's opening up again. Jim Denny Jim Denny's a twist on the original Jim Dennis. You remember Jim Denny that I loved, Jim Danny. Yeah, so she's South is now Jim Denny. They're doing a bunch of construction. That's the place. Yeah, yes, but now it's gonna be safest lunch. Yeah, now the new menu. But in the why would she close South? I think divorce? Yeah, that's fucked up. You brought it up, dude. That was six months. That was the best, probably the best food in that the city has.

57:57 Now. Everyone was a pretty much yea, yeah good. I hated the fucking seating rule or you couldn't sit down until after you ordered, and there was kind of irritating. Yeah, and like the building was obviously small, but that's what made it like, No, it was good. That's what made it fun. It was elate. It actually felt like it was in New Orleans. It was elite food. It was it was everything. There was fucking proper ship. That's why I bet I'm sure they'll have a chicken, a waffles or something at Jim Denny's. It'll be good. What was the place that did the like Asian breakfast that closed down? Harry Harry, Harry's man. There's a new place in there now this but it's not Harry's. Well, and right next to it's used to be an Avis car rental. It's like an outdoor bar. Now Harry's had meat and fried chicken and rice at fucking nine am. There's one right here too, right, Oh, that's Harry's. That's Harry. I was thinking about Simons. Oh you know Simon's on sixteen in Capital. I don't know if I've been there.

58:47 Oh yeah, it's kind of like Harry's. Yeah, yeah, kind of like Harry. That's what I was talking about. The Avis there turned into an outdoor bar. Oh interesting, Yeah, sex movement, we're moving to grooming. Yeah, where there's more food than I thought. Here, we got deep in the food here. Let's swerve back real quick. McGregor McGregor, Okay, So, did anybody have a favorite character that was not Connor McGregor. I wish they would have like actually, because you got the voiceovers of the trainers and ship, but I wish they would have talked to them more, like to sit down or something, because they seemed like they had some personality to them, like they're hugging each other and then the one motherfucker that got choked up by could be like they should. I just talked to that kid, right, Um, so sadly I don't think you could. Dylan Daniels, Yeah, oh maybe, Yeah, he's the other fighter.

59:29 But you know what I mean, what I did, like little things like they were in the sauna while he's cutting. He's obviously going through a really hard cut. Cutting stuff was in which that would talk about a lot. They just showed a lot. They're not really talking about the intensity, but they're showing a crazy he was dying. But he had like ten dudes in the sauna with pick him up, which is lit though, right, like his whole teams in there, like interview some of those guys. Yeah, yeah, they didn't really have a lot of pieces. Yeah right, there wasn't many other character It was just voiceovers by his trainers. But you never they set the trainer's name, but you never connected it to a face, so that was kind of off. But yeah, I'm a guess McGregor would be my favorite. Mabe his son always say, like the family, the family family. Yeah, yeah, you did see some home shit. Yeah that's pretty much all you got. Yeah, but it was cool to see how genuinely excited and happy he was with his kids. Yes, it wasn't fake. That's probably the highlight of the whole thing. Abotually Yeah, yeah, humanized him big time. Yeah, especially he needed a humanization after all the horrible things he said about what's his name's wife after he broke his foot because he was just thought his quarrel was over. Yeah. Yeah, and he had an incident as as recently as January. Yes, nice. Uh it was an assault situation, yeah, nice. Fun. Yeah, so he I mean, if anybody needed to have their reputation you know, bonded up a little bit, he would be a candidate for that. Yeah.

1:00:45 And this movie did it. Yeah, for sure accomplished I guess um. And the alts dropped right before this kind of tough things Yeah. Yeah. And then there was the funny thing about like that there's like the clip that people that's kind of circulating around where Michael Chandler and him were talking about like what class they want to fight in and Connor just does like he's like, I'll meet you a woman eighty five, and Connor just looks at him goes, you'll do what you're told. Just like that's the most connor thing ever. Yeah, now you'll do what you're told. So uh and we didn't really have there is any least favorite character either, because we didn't get to know anybody villains besides himself. Yeah, and his injuries. Yeah, they don't even interview like other fighters and ship. Yeah, it's it was a really weird take. It's a highlight reel, but also like inside the behind the scenes. Yeah, clearly he had this crew falling him around with him for years. Yeah, because this is fucking started in like three or four years for sure. Like where else has that other fat old footage been used?

1:01:46 Like, I don't think it has. I don't think it's so either interesting. Yeah. He also kind of forgot like how long he went without winning a fight. He still hasn't one one? Right yeah? No, uh, he's less the last three, right, No, he one and two? Maybe think he beat uh? I think he beat what's his name? No? Uh? One of the brothers from around here, Oh the d D d Y. Yeah. I mean although knockout was like the beginning, at the end, the fact they didn't fight again was like the biggest fucking like that was such a flukey knockout. They might still do it now, but then they're both kind of old. I don't know if you'll fucking be able to make that weight because I was like one thirty five or somehow.

1:02:32 Cowboys the last ye cowboy. Yes, you're right, that's right, retiring. He did beat Nate Diaz once. Yeah. Yeah, they split in twenty sixteen. Do you guys got paid. Yeah, that was when mcconnor was like top top top connor. Yeah, um, all right, let's rate this thing. I think that um my rating system of this one is going to be uh elaborately colorful chess tattoos. Yeah, that is a good tat. His stomach tat's note is good. His chest tat's so good. And there's a weird gap on his belly button that was fucking my fucking my brain up as I'm watching because it's a tiger print and say, it's really well done, but then there's a gap around the belly button that doesn't have tiger print. So I'm staring at this other man's belly button for way too long trying to analyze. There is the tribal like DNA tribal down the back. Yeah, yeah, that's not bad. I like that. I don't hate it like that one. But the Gorilla is really good. Uh.

1:03:29 For the movie would be going out of five five tribal tats um gorilla t I'll give a three point I'll give a three point eight tribal tat. Okay, yeah, three point eight tribal tat. I'm gonna give it a. I'll give it a solid three three and a half, three and a half, three and a half. I just love it's kind of ends. It kind of end. It does. That's that's why I do think a part two is coming or they're wanted to do. But story just yeah, he better go fight somebody needs to like fight Mike Tyson or something. Yeah, it just ends. Yeah. I thought it was too long. Yeah, too long. I could watch one episode and be happy. Yeah yeah yeah. And they could have done it in one episode, like a two hour episode. Yeah, I would have been plenty Yeah, three and four at least. My memory aren't as good. I think they should have just made episode one and two one movie that was an hour and a half.

1:04:14 I call it a day. Yeah, I agree with that, but I would say, you know, three to three and a half. Yeah, it's a fine way to pass your time. Yeah, it's much bigger deal for people who are our fans. Yeah. And I didn't go into this being a giant Connor McGregor fan. I was always into UFC before COVID, but then like COVID, I really got into it, falling like niche guys and hit and I'm still stuck with that now and watch most most of every fight. So I'll watch the fight this weekend. You know. That was me in like high school, twenty tens. Even then, like the day, Yeah, I watched your I SP because me and my dad were really into WWE. Yeah, and then there w EC Yeah. But then but then like the Rock and Stone Cold start to retire and now then it got kind of lamed us, Like I never watched the scene arrow, So we just dropped over the UFC, and I was getting older, you know, So then we just hopped in the UFC, and I was pretty in into like twenty fifteen, sixteen, and then all those the WC fights were all free on facts, yeah and good and they were great talent. It was just right was the face of w he was, he was the man.

1:05:15 He was the man. They were a good fight. I mean that dude had more sponsorships than other people. He was kind of McGregor before McGregor. He wasn't like the villains type of like he was sponsored by Mountain Dew in the WEC when no one was sponsored by anything in the UFC or WBC. He was. He had like his own case Swiss shoe, like he was doing things people weren't doing. It was just early. It was almost pre wave was the issue. Yeah, and obviously he's very successful and did great, but you know it held a good place as like a minor leagues for the UFC. But and then Dana bought it. Yeah. It was almost better though too, because they didn't have conflicting weight classes. Yeah, so it like stood on its own well yeah, where like now like yeah, the fight one or what World Fighting whatever and then bare knuckle. They are making some rumbles though, think maybe and Gone was going bare knuckles maybe I heard maybe, I don't know. There wasn't a weight class for you're riot, right and you have right. Yeah, there's like all like one sixty five and below was all WBC. It was it's almost its own thing and they didn't have heavyweights. And then UFC didn't have lightweights. Those are all the best fights. No, they're amazing. Yeah. The Chad Mendes is all the homies, weren't there? Yeah, everyone's from there. Interesting Mendes, he's done with the bare knuckles. I know you're like a one and done now I think you might have done two? Is it? Yeah?
