Bussin' With The Boys - Michael Chandler Says He Will "Decapitate" Conor McGregor + Doing Things Outside Of The UFC World

Episode Date: January 23, 2024

Recorded: January 9th 2023 | In this weeks episode, the boys are in Orlando to shoot a Sandbagger with the Spittin Chiclets guys. It is a shorter intro as the boys recap the NFL Divisional round from this past weekend. They spend the majority of the time talking about the Chiefs-Bills game as Will thinks the game was rigged in favor of the Chiefs. They also preview the Conference Championship games where it'll be the Lions vs. 49ers and the Chiefs vs. Ravens. The boys make a case for each time as to how they can make it to the Super Bowl. Following the intro, we sit down with one of the OG boys, Michael Chandler. Some massive news has come out of the UFC as Conor McGregor will be finally returning to the Octagon and his opponent will be, the boy Michael Chandler. He gets into the whirlwind of the last couple months for him dealing with Conor, the UFC and trying to nail down a date for this fight to happen. The guys get into the entire USADA drug testing process and why that was such a problem before along with what weight class they believe the fight will be at. Chandler wants it to be at 185 because he says it gives him is an advantage since he is more naturally at that weight. Mike gives his predictions on how he believes this fight will go, how many rounds, his game plan and they way he is going to break McGregor down. You can't help but feel a little juiced up after hearing what he has to say. They boys also get into some of the things that Chandler does outside of fighting. Mike hasn't fought in over a year but that doesn't mean he hasn't stayed busy. He just became a partner in Hiatus Tequila and he gets into the process behind the tequila business. He has some choice words about some other fighters alcohol that is out there, hint: it's an Irish whiskey. Chandler gets into how his entire life does not surround fighting, he isn't one of those guys who relies on a paycheck from the UFC as he is involved in more than just fighting. The boys finish the pod off answering another one of Mitch's terrible twisted questions and then get into the movie talk. We all know these three guys get along very well so it just feels like they are hanging out chopping it up.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to another episode of Bust from the Boys. We are seeing in a very unique position right now. We're in Orlando, Florida, of all places. Just shot a podcast. Can I say this? Just shot a podcast with spit and chicklets. It's going to be amazing.

Hope you guys tune into that. It was a lot of fun to do with the boys. We were bounced all over the place. Guys got a little toasty right before we came on the pod. It was absolutely outstanding. And it's Sunday night. What time is it right now, Willie? 1147 p.m. on Sunday night right now.

So we just finished watching the AFC divisional game Bills versus the Chiefs. Interesting game to say the least. I think somebody on slips and picks. I don't remember who the person was. Might have been Chet Savage. He said that this is going to be one of those games. They go down to the wire, last person to have the ball type of game,

and this goes well over the under. Sure enough, it did, dude. It was wild. But one thing that was crazy is Bass's field goal. Yeah. And that ball, if you look at the uprights, and you see the little orange paton things or the things that kids use in the Olympics,

those things weren't moving at all. And that ball went left and it hit a hard right. it's in the script it's in the script like the game is rigged for mahomes and the chiefs i think we can just say that i think that that is pretty much fact there's a couple wild holding calls out there a couple of interesting calls that PI i know it was well that was a PI i know i'm just looking stuff yeah yeah maybe because i lost a bet i had a nice parlay going plus 396 do you want to talk about it who was in it? Yeah, I had

Detroit to cover. I moved the line down to five and a half. It was sitting at six. That was the first leg. Second leg was Kincaid to have over three and a half

receptions. And the third leg was Bill's money line plus 396. Heartbreak hotel. Yeah. It was a tough deal, dude.

It turns into one of those things where the chiefs had one of those seasons where everyone's like, is this, are they dead? Is it over? Finally,

the lack of talent at wide receiver, the drops, all that stuff is Travis Kelsey to focus on Taylor Swift type of deal. And now all of a sudden, we're back in the AFC championship again. Like how much long can the world doubt Patrick Mahomes? They might do it again.

Dude, they really might. And you look at like, but I'll say this, I don't know how you beat that Baltimore Raven ball club out there. Lamar is truly in like Mamba mentality right now. Yes. Doesn't give a fuck about anything other than winning the Super Bowl right now. Yes.

The 49ers looked human, came back, obviously get to win when the Packers had every chance to win that game. Packers out played him for 58 out of the 60 minutes. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that game was, Jordan Love is going to be a superstar. Yeah.

Which is wild too, because we weren't saying that in October. Yeah. October November. Everybody was kind of like, I think, I think myself as well, it's like maybe the Packers, like this isn't their, this isn't their guy. How do you not score? Because they were like the first,

they were like the worst first quarter offense in the league all the way up until, obviously they turned around and went on the wind streak. They got hot when you need to get hot. They did the exact opposite with the Philadelphia Philadelphia Eagles should have done. Yeah, Eagles, bro. Disappointment. Yeah, they were.

Too much talent to be going out. Yeah, they really shit the bad. Yeah. I'll tell you what, Detroit, who you think is going to be in the Super Bowl out of watching these games? If you looked at just these games and didn't analyze anything else,

you'd be hard pressed not to say why Detroit wouldn't beat the 49ers. Right. You know I want the 49ers to win. And Baltimore. Yeah, Baltimore, too. Like, to me, the way Baltimore is, Baltimore played, it almost looks like is anybody, you almost just, you hope whoever the better,

the better team is. Like, if you watch the Packers Niners and that happened to be the NFC championship game, you'd almost be bummed that it'd be the Niners going to play Baltimore because of how well the Packers played the entire time. Because you want the best, the best team coming out of the NFC to go against Baltimore because it looks like Baltimore is just going to slaughter everybody. Yeah, not just the best team, but the team that's hottest right now. Yeah. That is like really showing up. The thing that, the team that scares me more out of the two to beat Baltimore from a Baltimore Ravens fan is the 49ers because they have the talent and they the Ravens mop the mom. So you know that chip's going to be there. Two weeks of fuck these guys.

Two weeks of like, hey, these dudes, you saw what they did to us. They think these things in the bad. They think they're walking away with Super Bowl, whatever number it is. Yes. And now it's like, you get the Lions and obviously Dan Campbell's a hell of a coach. They got a good roster there, but it's like you would have a feeling that the Lions are more just like super excited to finally get the monkey off their back being, being in the Super Bowl for the first time. on this deep run. Is that ever? Is it ever? Because I know they're in the NFC championship in 1991, but I don't know if they went to the Super Bowl. I don't have that kind of history, that kind of savvy to be able to like stick my claim. We're going to go ahead and say we don't

think so. We'll just say they don't. The first time of Super Bowl ever, where it's like, yo, that's not. Where it's like, that's nuts. Sorry, my watch was like rolling up the wrist. No, I know. Like, yeah, they got to travel out to San Fran. You know, Detroit. They've showed up. Like, imagine this game was in Detroit, like the environment that's at whatever their stadium is called is just insane. It's like they're into every play that happens, every call that's made. They're cheering.

They're either quiet because the other team makes a play. It'd be sick if it was in Detroit just because I don't feel like San Fran like they have that kind of same unique environment. I saw a clip. I don't know what Barstool group it was, but I know it was a Barstool guys. And they had this like, they're essentially envisioning like the intro to the Lions

if it was in the NFC championship. And it was like you hear that, that Eminem, the Lose Yourself song. Slowly start and some guy in a hoodie comes down. You're like, oh, it's Eminem. And then all of a sudden it's Kid Rock. And he goes, my name is K. And then ball with the ball starts playing.

And then there's a duet between him and Eminem. Holy shit. That'd be the most nuts shit ever. That'd take you from 6 to midnight. Oh, no question. You'd rocked up, dude. Pitching a tent in the middle of winter. That's a well thought out little production.

It wasn't mine. I just was the vessel as far as that message goes. I wish I knew who said that so I could like give flowers But it would be in a nuts If that fucking happened I mean they're gonna be fired up There's no way that if you're standing up in the team meeting

You know as this week starts That you're kind of showing the Niners Like they they can bleed Like this team is very beatable When you're watching that Bill's Chiefs game What was like the determining factor to you Of like the Chiefs and the Bill's And the reason why the Chiefs won

I'm trying to think of some of those big plays Where well number one You don't get to do that you don't get that fourth down conversion when they ran that fake punt when the chiefs were like down a guy like you kind of lose on a big momentum swinger there like the wind kind of gets taken out of your sale and then there's a big drop down field with Stefan digs but they might have went on the score that drive I can't remember I can't remember that party the thing to me that was like very obvious Andy Reid and his offense were trying to utilize like taking advantage of those

linebackers when they were playing with such a little depth there yeah he's insane yeah the way he was running it kind of like i don't know if i love it or hate it the way he runs yeah i was kind of using the analogy it looks like he's running away from chucky yeah you know taking off uh back to his bed from the bad see that when you you run up the stairs as a kid right when you turn the lights off in the basement you're trying to get up as fast as you can and your knees are a little bit because chucky's over the ground yeah he legit is always running high knees at that thing he's always like low-key warm enough pissed off i know but and they just kept creating like new levels against that old line too like and then once you have the seam he just gets the momentum momentum going

and then it just felt like there was nobody like they were chunk plays i know and you gotta get dude like there was a lot of good offensive line play i think there was zero sacks that entire game which was great but there was a drive in the third quarter where the bills offensive line took eight minutes off the clock 15 plays i think they ran it 10 of them and it was like an absolute sieve those boys were fucking motoring dude just putting on a clinic moving the line of scrimmage where you're thinking oh they're fine like the bills are finally about to get over the hump of the kansas the city chiefs and they are doing it in a fashion where like they're just putting the boa constructor on you and they're going to end it right and they're doing it their way like finally

against the chiefs where they've been oh and two in the playoffs right i've what three and three all time or four and four all time something like that something but i know dude i feel so bad for him dude especially josh there was no there were no turnovers other than the one that was actually ended up being a touchback where the chiefs would have gone up two scores yeah like you can just tell they were so hungry for the game i mean the chiefs War, too, but it's like, you just feel bad. And then for it to end that way, where Bass misses the field goal and it just, it moves to the right when there's absolutely zero wind. It was like it was taken 20 miles an hour to the right. When we watched it, I was like, the wind had to be crazy.

And they showed the replay, and them little orange things weren't moving. Right. This is. And then, look, for every reason we just said, you know that sitting there weighing on the, weighing on the kicker as he's sitting on the bench, like, I just pissed away. At that moment, it's not it's just one player one player or anything like that but in his brain probably it's like this just absolutely ruined i ruined it for the boys his brain in the entire city of buffalo he's he needs a police no question for that for however long that's gonna yeah forever they will hate him forever that just that just sucks but you know like the devil doink there was the there was a botch snap against michigan state yeah in michigan in 2015 where it's like the kid had to

transfer to vanderbell like people take their shit so stuynck there's serious. That's a good point. Where it's like this guy, this guy legitimately might be in harm's way this evening. Yeah. Which is nuts. Like you got to look out for him.

You got put your arm around them. They pull up the stats and business is like, oh, he's perfect too, blah, blah, blah. Biz is legit kind of calling it. Like this is it. He's going to botch it.

He's going to botch it. And sure enough. He did. Or was it him? Or the NFL. Or Goodell. Yeah, there's something fishy.

I'm telling you. Who knows? Watch this week. They're going to keep them in the game. against Baltimore? Yeah. Let's talk about some ads real quick.

They don't deserve. So Garrett just told us and we will repeat this for you. The Detroit Lions have only had one Super Bowl appearance or no Super Bowl appearances and they're the only team in the NFC to not make a Super Bowl.

But yeah, dude, we're out here in Florida right now and we're doing a sandbagger tomorrow. Fun thing about the sandbagger is usually it's biz and whid versus the other power couple playing against them in a golf tournament type situation. I played three holes of golf my entire life. Will, how many holes of golf you think you played? I've dabbled. I've dabbled. I know my way around an iron. He knows his way around the iron.

So it's actually going to be cool because it'll be a much different bag. We were discussing it before. It'll be like a kind of a scramble. Witt's going to be on my team business is going to be on a Will's team First time that they split up Yeah so it's nice We're just we're really changing

Mike Chandler, if you don't know who he is, if you're sitting there in Ontario and you don't really speak English, that's Quebec, right? And you don't really speak English and you're wondering who this Michael Chandler guy is. Michael Chandler is a fighter. He was in, what was it called before UFC before he went to UFC? Belator. He was in Bellator before, like, ran it up, like, was a three-time defending belt champion.

was like the best, the best, ends up getting the call to the UFC, has electric fights. This guy truly is a dude that, like, has a warrior's mentality when he gets in the octagon. Absolutely destroys people. He's had a couple not go his way as well. And if you follow UFC, ultimate fighting at all, you know who Connor McGregor is. He's notorious. He's the guy that has taken the UFC and put him to the next level as far. Star Power, eyes, views, the whole thing.

Michael Chandler just booked a fight, but booked a fight with Connor McGregor on June 29th at UFC 29th, June 29th is when the fight is. I'll tell you that international. Wait, wait, wait, wait. It's 300. No, no, no, no. I think 300's in like three, four weeks. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But this dude, he was one of the first guess. But it's for sure. It's for sure on June 29th. For sure on June 29th. And dude, it's going to be nuts. Will and I, we talk about in the pod. Like, the reason why personally I got into UFC was I went with a guy named Richie Incognito to the first McGregor Diaz fight, didn't know anything about it. And he was like, go watch this McGregor guy, go get into it. And I watched the highlights. I saw the way he's talking shit.

And so legit became a fan of UFC because of McGregor. Now, Mike, getting to know him the last three, four years, becoming like one of our boys, you sit there and you're like, I hope he beats Connor McGregor's ass. I hope it all. He takes care of business right here. But it's a very cool thing for Mike. And you're going to see a really interesting perspective of his, like the way he views things, the way he speaks things into existence, the way he goes about his routine, he's very disciplined individual. Like he is a dude that if you are looking to better your life and you want somewhere to follow, that's the guy to follow right there.

Anything I'm missing, Willie? No, he's been doing an incredible job. Yeah, and also this is the, he's just going to keep it going. This is his first, this is his first long form interview since the fight has been announced too. Yeah, yeah, true. So the boys got the first sit down with him. We have fun too, like Mitch, for the love of God, everybody tuning in that

understands that Mitch is on the hot seat for the twisted question. His job is on the hot seat right now. You can go ahead and judge this episode because that one gets, it gets disappointing. In my eyes, I don't know if it got disappointing in yours. No, it was. It's just tough to see him. I just don't think he puts as much work into it as he says he does. Right, right.

And that's the upsetting thing. And you can't make the same, like. Don't be an air repeater. Don't, yes, don't be a repeater, dude. Like, don't make the same mistake over and over again. Definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. And that's Mitch Carstley, dude.

We have a... And Chandler partakes in it too, so that's how you know, like, he understands, like, he's one of the boys. The good thing for us is, thank God for our brains. Thank God for JP's brain, because we actually end up salvaging the twisted question. Yes. Because it ended up getting pretty spicy there for a little bit, but Mitch did have to take some hands there verbally

and after the show a little physically as well. It was disappointing to see. What do you think, boys? We saw them? I think so. Just hit some, what else do we have here? First pod we ever did that changed days. It's 1203 on Monday morning.

Let's give a round of applause for Michael Chandler. Wow, let's give a round of applause. Iron Mike for the boys. First question, obviously, big news coming out.

Dude, I love them. I think I need to caught me a pair of those two. Do you see those things? Travis Scott's, right? Travis Scott's. He's really, Travis Scott's really doing it out there. Backwards Nike.

Yeah. I'll tell you, I met Travis Scott one time. No? Yeah, I was going to get my surgery at Eletrosh in L.A. And the elevator door opens up, and some dude walks in and smelling straight like a skunk.

Glass is on inside, wearing all black. He's just playing. Yeah. He was on the speaker phone on the phone. He's got two phone. He got two speakers, one phone.

He walks out. And I was like, hey man, how's your day? He's like, I was like, all right, I guess he don't want to have a conversation. He keeps walking. and I go in the office and Elitrash comes in.

Neil Elitrash, best doctor all time, by the way. He's like, you know who that was. But now it was Travis Scott. And that was my one time meeting Travis Scott. Pretty amazing story, huh? Did you love that? That's awesome. Yeah, that was pretty sick.

But so did you ever talk to him or was it? No, that was the last time I saw him. That was the last time I ever saw him. But I like to think I made an impression. You know? He definitely noticed. He noticed. He noticed you.

He's somewhere right now saying, yeah, I met the host of Bus with the Boys with the boys. Yeah, he did. Oh, you mean? Oh, Will? No, no. The other one, the tall one with the mustache. The one with the mustache. One with the mustache.

One who's he added. We, uh, obviously some news came out about a week ago. Mm-hmm. Some gentlemen, some Irishman was at dinner, swirling a glass of wine. Yep. Saying that he was going to fight Michael Chandler and UFC 299. International. 302.

302. Yes. 302. That man was Connor McGregor. Mm-hmm. First question. Out time. When Connor McGregor broke his late, do you think he called liver king to get supplements?

Possibly. I don't know. I'd have to check the call logs, but. Deer antler spray? Dear Antir Ants. That's for Ray Lewis. He had to call Ray Lewis for that. A little Ray Lewis.

You know, I don't know. Obviously, he hopped out of the U-Sada testing pool. Needed to heal. And he's had ample amount of time to heal now. By the time that we fight June 29th, it will be three years for him competing. So when you hop out of the USADA pool for on his end, that's because he was making a movie, right? No, well, he was doing Roadhouse.

You can still do a movie and be in New Sada. Can you hop out? Yeah, that's fair point. Can you just hop out of Yusada testing like whenever you want to? Yeah, you can. But when you come back, you have to have six months in the pool. So the rule states, the rule states, I can retire tomorrow. I can retire tomorrow.

Get out of the Ysada testing pool and they're like, okay, cool. You're out. But if you decide to come back and unretire, you have to be in the USada pool for six months. Can you be not retired? Can you be an active fighter and then jump out of the USada pool? Like say, you get banged up. Like, I'm already thinking right now. Like if I get, I'm hurt.

I'm injured. I'm immediately next day jumping out of the USada pool. Same thing. Get right as quick as possible. Yeah. However, like, however I can get right, push any line I need to, then just be all right, I'm dipping back in. Same thing.

Because you're using the rules to your advantage. Yeah. If that is in the rules, you should do that. Yeah. Whether you say, hey, I'm retired, I'm never fighting again, or you just say, hey, I'm taking a break. If you send that letter or however that process is, I haven't gotten out of it, whatever the process is,

as soon as you're outside of the USADA testing pool, even for one minute, if you came back the next minute, you got to wait six months. I don't know if there's a certain amount of negative tests that you have to have because they were talking about negative tests, blah, blah, blah. That was Conner's big thing. You know, forget USADA, whatever they're saying.

I don't need to be in it for six months, just too clean tests, and I'll be able to come back whenever That's back in after the ultimate fighter when we were talking about fighting in September or sorry fighting in September or December That was his big thing, went on all these different places And basically created a war between him and USADA

That was not true. He needed to be in it for six months. I spoke to Jeff Novitsky, I was talking to Usada, Jeff DeVitsky, UFC brass, everybody needed to be up for six months. Whether you retire or you just voluntary pull yourself out. Hasn't UFC gotten away from USADA? Do they not use them anymore?

So as of January, one, we are now drug-free sport international, which I believe the NFL uses. Does that sound right? Okay. When you say drug-free sport before using the last word international, I'm thinking, oh, these, they don't get tested anymore. Yeah. Oh, they're just saying, yeah, we're just not going to test these guys. The whole value of our drug-free. No, no, we are, so we actually have gotten now, I mean, I think this is legal for us to say. We're getting information, right? We're like, we have now a website where I've gone on and I've done all my whereabouts. They know where I'm at. They don't know. It's not as stringent necessarily as like, hey, I know from this time to this time I'm at this exact date. But hey, here's where I'm at. I'm in Nashville, Tennessee. Like if they called me right now, I'd have two hours to get finished the bus and then go to my house or wherever they want to meet me. And then they showed us pictures of, hey, this is what the drug testing kits are going to look like. This is what the cups are going to look like. This is the badge that he or she, whoever shows up with you, whether they have a liaison with them. Because obviously it's a female. I always had a female with you, Sada. So she always had a male.

chaperone who would watch the stream start so she didn't watch the stream start yeah yeah so she would always have a male chaperone with her um these are the badges you're looking at so it's it's a you know we're only six eight days into uh or i guess 10 days into january now i have not been tested under the new regime yet but yeah yeah i do i let you guys know it's essentially the same thing as the NFL like you have an app if you're going to go to cabo yeah let's say we go to call you have to put in the dates you'll be in cabo and the address you'll be at calvo and a number to reach you. Yeah.

And then they can essentially call you at any point during that time. We could literally be in Mango Deck watching a push-up competition. And they could say, hey, your timer started. We're out here. You have three hours. Yeah. And if you missed that three-hour window, there could be repercussions. I don't know the severity of how UFC would take that.

But- So- They usually tell us the day before, though, like, hey, I'm coming in tomorrow. I'm just making sure you're in your Missouri, your place in Missouri. Not when you're in the drug program, drug program. Like, if you're just being tested normally, but when I was in the drug program for that thing I had in college, you are essentially like they can just like we're here oh yeah our timer starts now yeah yeah so i mean

obviously that's the whole with the way that everything was was handled and the headlines and connor waging war with usada and then usada breaking up with ufc and then now new i mean there's just this whole fight ever since back in february whenever i got the call hey connor's doing the ultimate fighter you are the other coach ever since then it's just been constant red tape headlines, extenuating circumstances around him coming back, his comeback, all that different stuff. So for me, it's just been practicing patience. And now here we are, June 29. They take the dude's head off. Yeah, but you, there's got to be multiple layers of like maybe ego, patience, everything, because you get the, you're doing ultimate fighter against McGregor. When we first

talked, it's usually you do Ultimate Fighter and then you fight at the end. So you think this is coming a whole lot more. Which I was told, by the way, they said, hey, we know, right after our plan is, right after, boom, September or whatever it is right now. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, because I think at one point there was like talk about MSG and all that and you were like, I really want to fight in Vegas. I really want to fight in Vegas. And it's kind of just gone over and over again. And there's

two things like one, you're now in a situation where you that you don't have the control. So you have to sit there and make assumptions at all times because, you know, those guys that are high up at the UFC, they're not going to give you all the information. And there's another layer to it because Connor is essentially because of how prolific he's been, because of how much he moves the needle from a viewership standpoint, holds a lot of the leverage in all these situations.

So there's that now the ego part of, well, you're a hell of a fighter too. And you're essentially like, I have to wait for this guy to say that he's ready to go. Like, how did you work through that process? Here's one very self-serving, self-confident way that I've also looked at this. A lot of people would say, hey, what's a real fighter, right?

Are you a real fighter if you fight anybody, anywhere, any time, any weight class? Am I just some dumb, knuckle-dragging idiot who goes and fights as a pugilist in a cage for money? Am I that? Or am I a guy who now has been out of fighting for 12 months, but still the money's rolling in. Still, my other businesses are being set up. My other businesses are making money, my other connections. I'm going to make some money this weekend doing a mastermind with another business coach that I'm doing.

I'm out there making money. I am a working business every day of my life, whether it be through endorsements, sponsorships, appearances, businesses, all these other things that I'm doing. So people can say, man, you're an idiot. You wasted all this time. You're probably begging for a paycheck. It's like, no, I'm not. I'm not that guy who had to beg and call Dana every other week. Hey, money's getting low. Hey, I got this land loan over here. And hey, I got this mortgage over here. I got numerous mortgages. I got land loans. I got all these different things going on. Then I also have these other businesses that I've set up over the last decade and half to be a guy who's not just a pugilist

and fighting in a cage. I'm a guy who is already set up and I don't need to fight, but I want to fight. So I have to prolong it a little bit longer. You can afford the patience. I can afford the patience. And that's, you know, Dana said that. He's like, you know, Dana says, you know, Chandler's one of those guys. He's good. He's got, he's got money.

He's set up. He's not just a guy who only relies on the paycheck. And that's where this, that's where this narrative of the UFC and fighter pay and all this kind of stuff comes from because all these guys who have been given this huge platform to have all of this attention. and all of these connections and friendships and opportunities and they just don't monetize it. They don't grab hold of it and make it the best that they possibly can. And they just wait for that next phone call. Okay, who am I fighting? Because I need a paycheck.

Right. Why do you think that is? You think those guys are just the fucking, those are the, just the dudes who just live to fight. A little, yeah, I mean, fight, fight to live. That or it's, you know, it's effort. I mean, it takes a lot of effort. Trust me, there's days that I wish I wasn't. such a just hard charging nonstop.

I mean, I was on three different phone calls this morning about three different things that have nothing to do with fighting. Do I wish I would have had just a morning where it was just me hanging out doing nothing? Yeah, maybe sometimes. But ultimately, I like what I'm doing. I like having these other businesses and the other, these other things that I'm setting up. Because ultimately, too, I'm going to take those gloves off one time and at some point and

say, well, now what am I doing? Call a duty. Call the duty. Be on the bus. You know, I'll be freaking doing. with things with the boys. Live stream with the boys. You know like you know so it's but it's that's one of the things you know that we as fighters man they give us a huge platform and if we don't monetize it it ain't their fault it's our fault right right I think that's to say that's similar with

a lot of athletes like even in our you know playing football it's like if you're not somebody trying to maximize and optimize all of your like potential avenues like while you have the logo backing you you're only like hurting yourself because a lot of guys it's kind of like any free time you have it's call duty it's video games it's getting banged up it's you know enjoying as much free time as possible thinking like i'm just living and pursuing this one profession which ultimately like you said you take the gloves off the helmet comes off and then it's like what are you going to do next and if you didn't spend time being curious and diving into any of those interests that's where it kind of hits you mentally uh where it kind of just takes a toll on it sure i mean look at you guys you guys are

the perfect epitome of this i mean years ago you guys started with that that you guys were sitting on the floor back here on the bus, that first pod you guys did. How we went to the class. Yeah, right? And there was definitely times as you all were playing, we were like, dang, dude, like, I got to go do this when I really should be maybe focusing only on football,

but I'm going to do the bus or I'm going to do this. And obviously it keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. So it's a life is a series of tradeoffs. And what is manageable to you guys compared to manageable to the next player or manageable to me compared to the next fighter, it's all different. And if I'm able and I have the bandwidth and I have the ability, the gumption, the, the, the,

foresight to say, you know what, eventually this is going to be over. And I enjoy what I'm doing. I mean, the last year, I've got money coming in outside of just fighting and I've enjoyed most of it. There's times where I kind of grip my teeth. I'm like, okay, I got to do this. But, you know, next week I go to St. Louis for some hiatus stuff. We're going to go 48 hours straight, just bang, bang, bang, bottle signings and appearances and distribute meetings and that kind of stuff. I enjoy that kind of stuff because I like the business aspect of what I've been given when it comes to platform stuff. So. Yeah, and utilizing what you've been able to do in the cage and through social media and all that. There's a level of when you find out like kind of what you figure it is like what I was put on this earth to do.

Like at one point you and I were like football is what we were meant to do in this world fighting for you. It's nice because I was one of those guys that when I got in the league it was like, hey, you can do this internship for free. It usually costs this much. But blah, blah, blah. You can go get your graduate degree. You can go do these certain things. I was like, I'm not doing any of that shit. I'm focusing on football and that is it. And I look back on it now thinking to myself, man, if I would have took advantage of a couple of those things, I maybe have more tools now being in this world. Luckily, I'm in the world where we have a successful podcast. We're able to travel and do all these things. You get lucky in a lot of situations, but it's all

utilizing the amount of time that we all have. We all have the same amount of time. It's like, how do you structure it in a way? That is the best for you and gives you the most fulfillment. Like sitting on your ass all day playing Call of Duty is great. But you let me do that for a week straight. I'm going to be wanting to kill myself. I want to go do something. People are wired differently too. And it's completely fine for you to be wired that way. And it is for, you know, it is completely, it's completely fine for a fighter or a football player to be completely wired. It says, hey, when I'm on the field, I'm working, when I'm off, I'm just hanging out doing whatever. That's fine for them as long as they do not complain about their contract because it's not enough money.

As long as they don't complain that they don't got money coming in. As long as they don't complain whenever they do take the helmet off and all of a sudden the phone, phone stops ringing and they don't have their next paycheck coming in. Well, it's the bed you made. That's the couch you sat in. You know, like that's, that's what you do, right? And that's fine, but just you don't have the right to complain about it. Because especially in today's world, think about what you guys did with some microphones and some cameras. And now this big crew and this big, like, you guys built something out of nothing. And it's, not that it's been hard, but it's, it's easy compared to our parents and our parents.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm saying. Boomer Chandler over here, dude, trying to say the last generation had it easy. this year by the end of this podcast. You get what I'm saying. Every day. It's so much. Brick by brick.

No, but it's so much easier today to build something than it used to be, right? You guys with the internet. I mean, there's kids making a million dollars a year selling gummy bears on TikTok right now. Like there's, it's easier. Right. I guess. You know what I'm saying? So it's almost like there's no excuse, too.

It's not like, you know, it's not like you think Mike Dicka, back when he was playing, was able to, you know, build what he was building or whatever. It's like, it's so much easier now in all the sports. especially when you're talking about the NFL, you're talking about the UFC. You're talking about these. Right. The access, resources, they're just in abundance. And guys would rather not, like, look in the mirror, look at themselves closely to realize,

like, the mistake that they made that they might not have understood at the time, but you ultimately fully identify with just what you do for a living. And the minute that that's taken away from you, because in sports, you kind of have control, but really you don't have control when that moment's taken away from you. It's dictated by somebody else, usually. And then at that point, you know, you realize you've wasted all that time. They're probably not thinking about that. They're just thinking about how their contract situation was or how they got fucked or how they got screwed.

And it's easier to complain and point the finger than it is to be like, okay, I put myself in this situation. Yeah. And we are, you know, as athletes, like we got a lot of ego, right? And people are afraid to take risk. You guys took a big risk to getting laughed at and pointing your finger at whenever you guys were doing that first episode. And if Bustin doesn't take off and become what it is today, you guys took a huge risk to get. completely embarrassed by all your boys in the locker room, right? Like, it was, it was a risk that you took. People laughed at us? I'm saying they could have. I'm saying they could have if this whole

thing didn't take off, right? Like, people are afraid to take risks too. Right. Which that's a part of human nature as well, especially when you're on a platform. I've done it a thousand times. I mean, when it comes to these little failed things, oh, my merch isn't selling good. Right. I tried this. I tried, like, you guys do a good job. Like, yeah, we're going to throw this out there. If it works, it doesn't. Yeah. It doesn't work. No ego. Who cares. Move on the next thing. Yeah, you're a failure. or not having to feel a failure. Right. Because then it's like you do all these things

and put yourself out there to kind of, whether it's promote brands or all the things that you kind of dip your hand into and then you go out there on the field or in the octagon and fail, right? And that you just know you're, in your insecure brain, we were opened up to those like vulnerabilities

that people would be like, well, you shouldn't have been doing this the whole time. Right. Anytime I had a bad game or a game that we lost or something like that, it was always like, if this guy would just be more focused on football

instead of podcasting. And the thing I obviously logically you look at it and you're like, okay, everybody does things outside of football. Then no one's just, no one's just 100% ball at the time. I was playing video games or real estate or whatever. My thing just happens to be in front of everybody else's eyes. And that's how logically. But when those things happen, you do have the insecurities of being like maybe they're right. Maybe I should be just focused on X-1Z.

And that's the thing the first couple of years of our podcast, I struggled with a lot. It was always about like backloading episodes and making sure that, you know, I wasn't at the bus during the season and all this different stuff. Because just me and you, because you were gone. Yeah. You know, and you guys were kind of. And the availability is there.

Like I had half a Monday off, all of Tuesday off, like a lot of opportunity to go and do what this was, but it was truly the insecurity of, I got to make sure people know that I'm focused as opposed to just trusting my process and knowing that, knowing for myself, the self-validation of being like,

I know I'm doing what's right. Yeah. It was like trying to check those boxes. And it's so hard because we had Derek on, it would be last week. we actually, when we filled him with yesterday, he was such a unique perspective to see from Derek because now you can see that a chapter of his career is ending, not the whole entire career, but the chapter of the Titans is ending and the level of gratitude that he was displaying

is, was unordinary. And it's, you just kind of wish these levels of clarity you have after the fact that post nut clarity of your career or whatever, you could go back and be like, hey, listen, tell yourself, it's all good. This is all just smoking mirrors as opposed to to, you know, doing it the way you did originally. No, yeah, I mean, that's what, yeah, I mean, I've talked about that, too, this vision that I've had of me, that last fight after the last fight in some arena somewhere, looking in the mirror when I know it's over, like putting myself in that, in that position, in that psyche, in that feeling, you know, in order to be grateful today.

Because, yeah, that is there. You do have so much, it happened to me big time with, with Missou wrestling. Like, the last time I took off those straps, the last time, and, you that chapter was over and a move on in the new one. I thought, man, why did I put so much pressure on myself? This wasn't that big of a deal. I underperformed really bad, which was a good thing for my mixed martial arts career because obviously now that has propelled me into the man I am today.

But that clarity that you have after the fact, which is, that's a really cool perspective to hear him talk about this. Okay, all right. Hey, guys, it's me, Taylor. We're going to remember this episode real quick to bring you cars.com.

Find your next possibility on cars.com. Where to next? This episode, that's where to next. Going back to, you know, the things you're doing outside of the octagon and kind of having to have that patience for McGregor, um, were there ever times where you're just, because at the same time, you're still a main thing you want to do and love to do is that competitive spirit that you always talk about is being in the octagon and fighting. Like, you could have been lining up other fights. Were there ever moments where you're like, listen, I don't think he's ever actually going to come back. I think he's doing it for the attention. Like, I might have to make a move. Um, because it's like, you know, at the end of the day, day you can't sit here and wait year after year for one fight when you could have been making you know making money going after other fights going after a title a different way um talk about that

yeah no there's definitely been times it never got to the point where i was like hey it's it's happening soon we're we're making a phone call and also i also never gotten a phone call by the way to from the ufc hey it probably not happened we should probably you should probably think about stop wasting some time right yeah that's never happened there's other fights happening other fights happening within the top seven of my division. I mean, there was two big fights that just got announced with Porre fighting and Oliveira fighting another guy, Sarukian, and then, and I got no calls from any of that stuff. So it's always been Chandler versus McGregory. Just the question was when. And yeah, obviously we hear the noise. We, you know, we hear the noise. We

see the people talking about me about wasting my career and all that kind of stuff. And they have it way overblown. Everyone thinks it's been like two years since I have fought. And if you really go back. I fought in November. I did the Ultimate Fighter February to mid-March. And then the Ultimate Fighter played out. So it's only hasn't even been a full year yet since I finished the ultimate fighter. So people talk about wasting the career. And of course, I hear it. And I'm thinking, man, I am going to look like a big dummy. This thing doesn't ever happen. But once again, taking the risk, taking a calculated risk, not being afraid of the quote unquote failure if this guy, you know, never comes back or if he came back and for a while he was calling out other

people and, oh, he's, I'm going to get passed over, they say, and they're going to do this fight or that fight. But it's been a whirlwind, but ultimately, man, when you feel it in your heart, in your gut, you just got to roll with it and I can live with it. The rest of my life, if this fight never was going to happen, it's going to happen. But if it never was going to, I can lay my head on the pillow and be fine. And I can hop into a training camp tomorrow and I can fight the guy whoever it is so it's you can always pivot you can always make the best decision you can with the information you have the information i have is that janelversa mcgregor has happened it just was a matter of when and now that win is june 29th international play week how uh supportive or not maybe not

maybe not supportive is the right word but uh what were the conversations like with the ufc because i would almost think too like if they do call you about something else then maybe it's like okay maybe this fight isn't happening because they're talking to be about ufc i don't know 260 or whatever it is uh it might be completely off. Sorry to disrespect your favorites for JP. JP. Was it like 287 or something like that? Like slowly come up. Yeah, it was like February 2021.

What do you mean? But you know what I mean? Like how, you know, how helpful was the UFC in some of those conversations? No, that's, it's a good question because, you know, ultimately I have a great relationship with the UFC. Hunter, Dana. I've never gotten those calls that said that was like, hey, or even talks in person when I go to the UFC events or in Vegas.

wherever it never was a question of hey dude looking in the eye like okay we kind of made a mistake we kind of led you down the wrong road you should probably pivot here because this guy ain't coming back it's never once been that it's always been give me some time give us some time and this is what this is what hunter said at the very beginning as we as we set up the ultimate fighter he said i promise you this will be the most unconventional fight booking you will ever have in your entire life it's going to be up, it's going to be down, just hang on for the ride and watch it all play out. Just things are happening, things are moving. We're good, right?

It's just continued to be that way. And he's reminded me of that like 10 different times, right? And ultimately, like I said, I could sit back sulk, wish I would have fought him in December, wish I would have fought him right after the ultimate fighter. I can do that. And I can sit on my hands and train or I can work on these other things and keep myself busy. And speaking of support, Bree, my wife, the support that she has had throughout this entire time, her working her face off, you know, because I'm also not fighting, but I am working, but I'm not

fighting. So she's been working like crazy. And I love for her to do that because she loves doing that. But the last year has been good. There's been a lot of very good things about the patients I've had to grow, spending time with my family. So it's been a heck of a ride, but we're less than six months away from decapitating this dude. You bring up Hunter. And obviously Dana is the face of the UFC. When you think of the UFC, you think of Dana White. But talk about about Hunter, dude, and like how much behind the scenes he is and how much he really, he is truly the

the engine a part of that whole thing. Because I, like, you know how I feel about both those guys. I love and respect the shit out of them, but I'd love to hear from a fighter's perspective like how important he is to that organization. Yeah, I mean, obviously, yeah, like you said, Dave, or Dana is the forward facing

one mainly. I think, you know, you see Hunter's, name being thrown around a little bit more Hunter referencing, or Dana referencing Hunter publicly in different things. Hunter handled some of the kind of USADA announcement and all that stuff because he's a lawyer for the UFC. But yeah, I mean, I do a lot of my stuff directly with Hunter. There's a lot of big name fighters that you all know that that go do a lot of stuff directly with Hunter. You got your, you got the matchmakers and then Hunter and Dana are part of that matchmaking process. Every Tuesday they do their matchmaker meeting, talk about

matchups and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, Hunter, Hunter from a legal, he's got the legal mind because he's a, he's a lawyer by trade. And obviously he's been in the UFC now for however many years, has been a long time. And he has continued to take on more and more and more as the UFC has grown, like exponentially, right? Dana can't handle it all. He handles all the announcements. He handles all the forward facing stuff in the media.

But Hunter's the guy that I go to 90% of the time. when it comes to it. I mean, he's just got that, like that, it factor, that ability to, like, you know, to keep sharpening, like, all those tools and skills because I think he started in the UFC just as, like, an intern, right? Like, an intern, right? Like, an intern. He was an intern. He was an intern. I don't think he passed his bar yet, but he was, yeah. Essentially became an intern, became a lawyer. And then Dana's like, who the fuck is this guy? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, we can't let him out the building. Yeah. And became, like, literally, Dana's right-hand man. Yeah, yeah. In any situation.

Yeah. I mean, I think the cool thing about these guys, too, is, is, is, this This is my personal experience. It's always been very black and white and honest, too. It's with me. And I, with that in Boldens, both sides where we're like, where, you know, my last contract negotiation, why not ask for it for a little bit more? If they can give it, they can't. He's going to tell me, no, you can't do it.

And here's why. Here's X, Y, and Z. Fighting this guy. Fighting that guy. All these different aspects. It's always been very black and white, which is with, for guys like this who don't have time to beat around the bush and play games and all that kind of stuff, you know, because they're dealing.

I would do not. what these guys have to do. All these guys and gals on the roster, egos involved and all these different things going on, these big fights. As we sit here today, right? We're talking about June 29th, Chandler v. McGregor, International Fight Week. They're still booking UFC 300, which is going to be one of the biggest cars that they've ever done. They've got a fight starting, you know, this weekend, every single weekend, basically, of 2024. Had a nice little three weeks off or whatever it is. So it's a constant moving machine. And these guys are like, I ain't got time to beat around the bush.

Here's the offer. Here's not the offer. Oh, you want this? Okay, well, let's talk about that. Here's why we can. Here's why we can't. Just the machine. Just the machine, dude.

And they're like, even a fight as big as me and Connor too. It's like quick phone calls. Hey, let's talk about this. Are we good? All right, cool. See ya. Yeah, I don't even say bye. Yeah.

Yeah. Bye bye. I told you about the conversation, my first conversation with Dana when he hung up on me and didn't say bye to me. No. Never when he was on the plane and I had a I had the phone call with him and he's like, oh, I love it. I love it.

And then click and I'm like, oh, dude, do he just hang up on me? What just happened? And then he called me back one minute later and he's like, hey, dude, I just talked to Hunter. I just told him to, you know, I just told him to get a deal done with you basically. Like that I was like, this is when you were signing to the UFC? I was standing out. I was in Las Vegas. I flew to Las Vegas.

I was standing outside of this place that my manager, Randall would remember because he's born and raised there. But we went there after a medium hunter to go like decompress and have a drink. And then that's when Dana called me. And then standing outside of this place. I forget what it was called. But yeah, I was like walking between these two big rocks. There was two big rocks. And I was like jumping back and forth nervously as I'm talking to Dana for the first time ever.

Yeah. I'm about to make this big jump on me. Yeah. And I surprised myself at what I was able to say. Right. Because I mean, when you feel like you've done things right long enough, eventually when the moment arises at your great, moment of opportunity you are emboldened by the circumstances. Right.

It was a good conversation and things have been very good ever since and three years into it. Still haven't fought in Vegas yet, but we're going to make that out. We're going to get it done. 29. I know. Imagine they're like, yeah, imagine they're like, okay, we're doing this date. And they're like, it's in Madison Square Garden. I'm like, nope, can't do it.

Not fighting anywhere else besides Vegas. I love that. Throw that weight around. Yeah, there's a fight. They're like, hey, you do realize you can't. You don't have a say. Yeah. Just take the ego out of it, boys.

I just want to go out there and freaking beat this dude up, man. It's been... The environment is going to be electric. It is, man. I mean, you know... How do you start to prepare for that? The environment? Yeah, the environment.

Not like, obviously, you know, you're going to handle your business like you do with any opponent with Connor, but... I mean, this is. This will be the most anticipated fight in a long time because McGregor's coming back, and it's like you have to take in that environment. So, you know, as you know, don't get too high, don't get too low. Yeah, I think it's going to, it is going to take a lot of mental preparation. I did just have a call with a guy who's going to coach me from a mental aspect,

who actually just got named the number one coach on the planet, actually, above Tim Grover, above Tony Robbins. I won't mention him here today, but we'll mention him on the next one. So we're going to. We'll Google him right after this. He's the number one. Number one, then we should know. Yeah.

He's a friend of mine that you guys already know, right? But yeah, I mean, it's going to, I think it's going to, it is going to take a lot, a lot of visualization. I didn't want to start too early until the fight really got solidified. Now we got six months and we're going to have our physical training. We're going to have that, that mental training of, of visualizing and seeing and feeling and smelling and tasting all of the different emotions that are going to happen June 29th. But yeah, man, I believe it's going to be the best camp in my life. I believe it's, I believe I was, I was chosen and born for a time such as this, finally. That shit.

All of these years, right? You know, all of those years of freaking being down in the valley, nobody watching my fights in Bellator and being the number five guy in the world, nobody caring, nobody knowing who I was, coming into the UFC, having banger after banger, losing a couple of fights, winning a couple of fights, the naysayers, the doubters, all of it will culminate on June 29th where I can say with a little smile on my face. I told y'all, who's next, you know?

That's what we're doing. Shout out to the naysayers. Shout out to the naysayers. out of the naysays out there. Let them know. Let a naysay or no. Fuck them all, dude. Fuck them all. That is going to be selfishly. That is going to be so fucking awesome to be a part of.

To sit there and watch and be like, hey, my fucking boys going to war with Connor McGregor. Yeah. That is going to be awesome. Tatically, there's a lot more to prepare for than just the environment. That guy's got a silver tongue. He does a good job of getting in dude's ears. We brought this up to you. I think it was on the street.

dream, but maybe come out to the same music as Connor. You think? I think that shit would be one of the best troll jobs ever. Because you're going to hear the music. Everyone's like, oh, my God, it's here. And then one guy would be like, I'm pretty sure you can't those coming out first, right? And then all of a sudden, you come out and then they play his music. Talk about just flipping the script on him real quick.

Yeah, I don't even know if you're allowed to do that. Like, honestly, that would be a great idea. The ultimate troll job. Ultimate troll job. Actually, that would be the ultimate troll job. Yeah, whether I was first, it would actually be better if I walked out first. Because I don't know, because you talk about who's going to walk out first. Normally for those listening, and I actually don't know the always the criteria, but usually

who's ranked higher. But if we're, you know, we haven't talked about weight class yet. Obviously, Connor said 185. It could be 185. It could be 170, whatever. Either way, it's not 155. So I would be, I would technically walk second because I'm ranked higher than he is at 155. but if it's not at 155 then I might walk first

which would be the ultimate troll job if I walked out to his that would be all I did talk to our boy Nate today about the walkout coming out yeah you get him talked into it no I'm not but we're gonna get in the we're gonna get in the lab though and bro I don't know I feel like Nate's a dude if you press I'm gonna be pressing I'm gonna see yeah press and umbrella closes and he's like more good I know exactly that's why I'm trying to you know just just

Nate's he's very much an artist very much an artist Were you alluding to like a Like a one-off? No I'm just Oh dog that would be insane Yeah right No no I mean

No NF doing a Just revamping some special Just unique view Yeah revamping my currents Because right now I do the intro To pay my dues With the C you at the top And then where the beat go

Search First verse Search second verse And then kind of actually loops So we're going to work on a little bit, but, but the ultimate troll job would be walking out to the thing. I think it's called the foggy do mixed with notorious BIG, whatever. Yeah.

That would be fucking awesome. Do you just steal it? He'd be like, what the, but go back to the, the Nate thing, him walking out with you. I saw a clip on like a YouTube short or something like that where

Dana was like, our fighters don't do that. You look at boxing, they got 50 guys in there. They don't fucking belong in there. Like, who the fuck are these guys? Like, you're there for business.

So if you were able to get Nate to walk, out with you, would Dana let that happen? So what I would say is if history is a predictor of the future, they did on Connor versus Chad Mendez. There was Lewis. Help me with the country boy song. He sang, but he didn't walk out. It was like he was on a stage and a spotlight hit him.

And then also, sorry, I should, I should know this. Rest in peace to the girl who actually, she is now no longer with us who sings the foggy do um but she yeah here it is right here but she sang and i think that might yeah you know so they did the little spotlight thing so they didn't technically walk out oh yeah this would be her and yeah oh shenade o'connor hey this just goes fucking hard i was in this goes hard and this was the co-main event oh no i was the main event i was in mexico watching it at a little tiki bar yeah watching this fight because it was Robbie Loller versus Rory McDonald after. And it was Aaron Lewis next

where he sings the... I'm not, whatever. We're going. You were, you were... I was getting ready to vibe with that. But, you know, they're on their own little stages. They didn't walk up. But I mean, this is a long. I need to send this to Nate, actually, because we're working on it. So you're working on it?

Has he just said no a bunch of times and you keep coming back to the table? Keep firing? Or is it like, I don't know, man? He's cool with being an artist, like you said, and being on, being in the lab and, you know, cutting some stuff together but he's not into the whole walkout thing but you know we keep looking on him look at his look at his face dude yeah it's so much different now you care you care about uh which weight class is that um i don't no i mean ultimately too because you know and i've seen the comments or the general

thread of what people think it's like oh dude if these guys fight at 185 it's going to be the worst fight ever they're all both going to gas out it's like it's not like i'm going to bulk up to 210 and then cut down to 185. We fight a 185. I'm doing the exact same training camp with a couple more calories and just not muscle wasting and getting myself down into the 170s. I'll just stick around it 185. You know, I'll just stay at 185 instead of crushing myself at a calorie deficit for 10 weeks straight to get down to 155. At 170, it's a nice little happy medium. What's Connor walk around at? People think 200 something when he was at his biggest, but he wasn't. he's got a really good photographer with great lighting and good angles and maybe a little

Photoshop. But I think he does look juicy at times. Yeah, when he was doing the Roadhouse movie, some of those. Yeah, yeah. Which comes out in March. Shout out Jake Jalenhall. Like that one. It's like, oh.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, that one. His face looks so different. Go up to the left. Go up. Second row left. Oh, yeah. Like those. Meedy.

Yeah, mee. Yeah, you got big for that. You got big for that. I so I mean I think he was 190 one 90 max there he's got he's got hollow bones I think he's uh he's not he's not he's not a he's not a he's not a heavy individual so you're you think you better bigger than Connor I would do better bigger because you also got to remember who are we talking about here part of the reason why we work so hard is be not because we're hard workers but because we are forced to work hard. I'm forced to work hard to put the work in every day to make

155. Now, if you had to bet, who's going to put in more work while they're not cutting weight? Is it me or is it Connor? If Connor doesn't have to do any work to make the weight, if he doesn't have to do any extra cardio, if he doesn't have to eat perfectly, if he doesn't have to supplement right, sleep right to make 185, I like my, I like my chances even more at 185 because I know I will be living a ridiculously clean lifestyle between now and June 29th. And I can't. I can't. I, can't say the same about him so I think it benefits me for sure so he wants to do 185 and people can call me a you know I'm doing as I told as I'm told whatever blah blah blah I always white noise that's a tip of the cap uh comment by him that went viral it's great

great comment it's like once that gets said you're just like fuck yeah but also if you remember it was a nice it was good and they cut it they cut it they cut it as if I didn't say anything back I did say something back I just said something like oh come on dude like oh yeah yeah You're going to say that right now? Yeah, you know you are, but what am I? Yeah. No. You flip it.

But also, too, if you think about it, he doesn't want to fight at 155 because he wants everybody to think he's bigger than he actually is. He can't fight or wouldn't fight at 170 because I actually called him out of 170. So that's not me doing as I'm told. That's me telling him what weight class. So he had to come with something else. It wasn't going to be 145. Neither of us could make 145.

And 185, it had to be. So if you think about it, that's why it happened there. Now, does the UFC want to do the fight at 185? Does it do anything for anybody? I don't really care. Once again, going back to I'll fight them at any weight, anytime, any place. I'm ready tomorrow. As long as it's Las Vegas.

As long as it's Las Vegas. Where would you put your money? I would roll over and be like, okay, fine, I'll fight in freaking wherever we're going. Lowe's in Montana. But I want a fight in Las Vegas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you had to put your money, would you say it's at 170 or 185? I think people think, I think people think Connor has more pool than he actually.

does and Connor says 185. I think the UFC's like I did. You're not fighting one 85. So I think I think it's gonna be 170, which I love. I think 170's great. Also I can make 155. 185 would be good too. It's one of those things where the weight class, I mean we're still five and a half, six months out. Like weight class doesn't matter. Yeah. But it sure will be fun. I mean, now, um, the reason to, you know, Connor actually tweeted this morning. He can't wait to come get his 20th knockout, right? So he, He wants that knockout against me, right? But also he would be the first fighter to have a knockout in four different way classes. 45, 55, 70, he already has.

Now is now will be 185. So that's kind of, I think, a motivating factor. He's chasing, right? So Connor's always looking for what can I do that's different than everyone else. Right, right. That's why we love him. That's why we hate him. That's why, you know, that's why he is who he is.

Wasn't he like trying to run for mayor of Ireland or something like that? Yeah, he's talking about, yeah, because there's a lot of stuff. going on over there i don't know if it was there was some stabbings or some pomming or like something and our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of ireland but there's you'll see him get outspoken yeah i know he's he's he's kind of doing the whole you know he's he's coming at the politicians like you know you talk about it but you weren't doing anything you know it's pack you out right yeah i mean i wouldn't be surprised if uh you know that definitely was another deterrent where people are like dude he's just doing this for his political campaign why are you getting trolled right now and i'm like maybe we'll see yeah

You kind of hope he would be elected mayor of Ireland, and then you get to knock him out. And then technically, you become the mayor of Ireland. I think that's how it works over there. Technically, I dethroned him, yeah. Yeah. I tell you what, the people of Ireland like me more than they like him. I'll tell you that much. I do.

Listen, Mike, that's a crazy comment. It is a crazy comment. That's a wild statement. Look that, put it out there. I'm just saying anecdotally, I have not met anybody who. Google anecdotally. Anecdotally is from personal experience. Got you.

My anecdotal experience and evidence is that. Every person I've talked to from Ireland or anybody who has been over to Ireland and asked about the general sentiment of Connor McGregor is he left the people behind him, dude. They don't they don't like that stuff. Listen, we love flashy here in America. We love the money, the cars, the glitz, the glen. We love that stuff. The people of Ireland are hardworking blue collar dirt under their freaking fingernails type of people, right? Missouri cats.

Missouri cats, man. North County stand up, right? They are those people. And we loved Connor when he was coming off the couch on welfare. He was a plumber, right? That's the Connor that we love. A real rags to riches story. And then all of a sudden, the riches went to his head and he left everybody.

I'll tell you this too. I was at Rocco Steakhouse in New York City. They carry a hiatus. Shout out to Rocco Steakhouse. We were there. And it was me, Sean Dill, Lacey Book, and Bree. And there was a couple sitting next to us. It was her birthday.

Turns out we started talking to. I noticed her accent. She's from Ireland. Her name is Laura. And I said, hey, who are you rooting for in this next fight? And she said, oh, well, she said in her cute little accent, it was a birthday. And she said, try the accent. Oh, she said, oh, you know, Mr. Chandler. I'll tell you what's going to happen there. I'll tell you, I'll tell you that we used to love Connor. But now I'll tell you what, if I was a vet, I'd take him out behind the barn and I'd put him down. I'm not joking. She said she would, she would, she would. take him out behind the barn and put him down, let him out the pasture, so to speak, right? And I think that's the general sentiment. And granted, never hate on a man for his success, but there's a right way to do it.

There's a wrong way to do it. He's, you know, I... You're saying he did it wrong. What I'm hearing is you, is Connor McGregor did success wrong, and the whole country of Ireland hates him. That's what I heard. Not the whole country.

Lost out of where he came from. Yeah. Lost out of where he came from. Now, granted, here's what I will say. for me to like check myself right now. You can't judge a man unless you've walked in his shoes. I am doing all right. I am by no means as rich,

wealthy, and famous as Connor McGregor. So unless you could have walked a mile on the man's shoes, you can't really judge him. But that's my anecdotal experience of speaking to people from Ireland or speaking to anybody who has been in Ireland. Okay.

And asked about Connor. It came correct there. Because I did, I felt bad trying to check you just now. Oh, bro. Yeah. When you said the country, yeah, the country of Ireland, I think I do better. Yeah, I mean, they're like, Trump, I poll better in Ireland than McGregor does. Yeah, we poll really well in Ireland.

Yeah. A lot of people are Ireland. Yeah. A lot of people. You're from Ireland? I pull great Ireland. When they're, you know, they got a camera on the people. Like, Ireland goes hard.

Yeah. Like, the press conference. They can go against America? Like, yeah, they're going to show up and show out. Yeah. Like, when that weighing happens and all the, like, all that stuff, like, there'll be that Ireland section. No, they'll see if they're cheering for you. Well, for sure.

I mean, even if, let's just say, Mike, now here's what I will say. Here's what I will say. I mean, when you talk about sports in general, is there ever a month, I love being American. I love the U.S., the U.S. of a greatest country on the planet. But every now and then when you watch a soccer game and you watch one this year, you're like, dang, those people get behind their athletes so much more than the U.S. Like, they're waiting for our downfalls sometimes. They're like, I don't like this guy because of this. They're like, dude, yeah, but I'm still American. You're going to root for this guy.

I'm still American, right? Whereas like Ireland, like I said, I think he left a lot of people. behind um but they're still gonna cheer for them they still they still got to try color one comment from an american bag oh we got to take and connor and connor smart car's smart too man like he'll he'll know he'll know when to kind of turn it on and pull on the heart strings and win the people back and then you know for his election bid in 2027 or whatever it is yeah yeah whatever they do over there in ireland whatever they do you think at all about the shit talking game um yeah uh yeah no i mean kind of we're gonna oh we're gonna have oh my we're gonna have to

Oh, my. We're going to happen. Do you think it's all about the shit talking game? Yes, I do. No, I do. I actually wrote some stuff down yesterday, all right? Okay. Yeah, I wrote some stuff down yesterday.

So I was ready for the pot, okay? No, but, yeah, of course I do. But, I mean, I have my general talking points. I have why I know I deserve to win this fight. I have my talking points of why I know I'm going to beat him. I have my talking points of why I'm better than him in every aspect of everything. We'll talk about it. Have you thought about the personal side?

No. As far as him getting personal with me? Yeah, both. I have not. Do you want to role play this one? No, I think it will be really cool to jump across a press conference and hit him with something. That would be really cool if he said, if he did go that low. I mean, we probably will.

He will. What if he does, then, I mean, it'll be, you know, I mean, we'll see what happens, man. I mean, hey. I have no problem letting an idiot say idiotic things and letting him let him do it and then go whooping his ass inside the cage. but I think it would be fun to pick up a monster water bottle and that would be his head. Yeah. You know, four months before.

Or chair. Or chair. Yeah. Or Dana. Literally like push Dana into him. Yeah. And get fired. And then, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, wait for after the fight. And then you push Dana into him. Yeah. Because it's almost like you have to assume that something like that. It's going to get to that level. Yeah. You have to assume it.

I mean. You know. I mean, here's my thing with Connor. I have a different perspective. I've studied the man obviously a lot over the last year. but I've studied the entire MMA industry for a very long time. There was some very personal stuff he did with Kubeb, very personal stuff he did with, Porier.

Yeah, yeah. You know, he's not afraid to keep going and going and going and going. I am not the type of guy who will probably push him far enough for it to get personal. Does the trash talk need to get personal for us to go put on a great fight? I don't think so. However, I think he spent five weeks with me, couldn't really get under my skin. I mean, there's nothing, there's nothing better than not having to say anything at all in a man feeling more insecure after having led after left a interaction with you because you were so 10 toes down confident in yourself as well. I think Connor having spent that time with me is, knows he won't be able to get under my skin because I've trained for this. I was made for this. So therefore, I think that's my biggest feather in my cap is I'm not emotional. I'm not probably going to get emotional. It could be wrong.

could have eat these words. Who knows? But yeah, man, I mean, I got my talking points and I look forward to it and I relish it, especially in the press conference environment. Right. You know, the ultimate fighter was interesting because it was a reality show and there's just, it wasn't the place necessarily, but. That show jumps around a whole bunch, but towards the end of the show, as it seemed,

you guys get yourself a little pushing match. And so is that where it kind of left off or did that happen way earlier? No, that's the show made it seem. No, that's where it pretty much left off. So, you know, since then, you know, we haven't obviously spoken or seen each other, you know? So that's the lasting impression. I remember right after that fight, he came out with the next fighter. And normally I'm, like, locked in with my fighter, but I have my hands on the cage and I was like watching him walk out. And I was looking at him just smiling. And he just made one of these. He made one of these. He got into his head. I think so. But remember he growled in your. face at one point. Yeah. Oh, he did growl on my face.

You know how confident you have to be to throw a growl at somebody as a grown man? Yeah. That's a tough look sometimes. Or psychotic. Yeah. Either way, we're getting a good fight. Yeah. But do you think the advantage of doing the ultimate fighter helps you in the situation,

getting around for those five, six weeks, however long it was, able to, you know, watch him at a closer angle than just clips, understand his process, how he works through things? Yeah. Because not only him, but also the hearsay that's getting back to him from him from his team. I was around his team all that. I was actually around his team a little bit more than I was around him. He would show up to late. He would show up late, come in whenever he wanted and all that kind of stuff. And I would see his photographer. I would see his four coaches. I would see Kavanaugh, you know, be violently nice to them. Like, being nice to him and cordial, but they're like,

damn, this dude's got a little bit or something all with them, you know. So I, uh, how was he as a coach? Uh, I mean, based on the hearsay from his guys. You know, look at the record. Well, the, I mean, the hearsay from the guys, I can tell you, this by week three some of those guys some of those guys finally were like oh screw it dude i'm not gonna be friends with connor i think part of it was like these dudes wanted to be on connor's team so they could attach themselves to connor be friends with connor it wasn't to learn from connor it wasn't to fight like connor it was like hey i get to be on the the cool guy side right um i'm not on the lunch pail side with chanler over there and then we end up winning all the fights but by week three

there was four or five dudes who who would stick around after practice just for us to come in or they would kind of start coming up to me asking me stuff and then and admit yeah man I think it would have been a lot cooler if we were on your team you know and it seems like you guys got something going on here I'm like yeah dude we're a team dude these guys got to fight each other but they love each other right I made them believe in themselves more than they believed in themselves when they walked through the door I in my coaching staff we helped will them into the position that they're and we care you know I basically went insane while I was in in Las Vegas absolutely drained.

Like you guys said, you and if you guys were tired, we're around you. Absolutely drained. And I do not admit that I get tired. I don't get tired. I don't get sick. These are things that I never,

ever admit, right? Because I think it's very important. Your boy was tired. Bro, when we saw you at the complex, it was like, oh, man, Mike's been going through it. Yeah, let's not go to the house because they were like, hey, we could go and get some shots of you guys at the UFC house and stuff like that. And it was like, uh, Mike, uh, he seems like he doesn't,

that's the last place he wants to do. Right. And you guys know, I'm always up for that. I would love to bring the boys in and like it would be fun. But dude, it was, I spent so much of my time, energy, and effort with those guys. So you got to answer your question, it was like, yeah, I think there was, obviously, the record speaks for itself. You know, Bracitona, you know, he wins it, of course, obviously, and switch teams, but he was with my team to begin with. And then I had two of my guys in the finals at 155.

But I think being there, it was better for me than it was for him. I believe I believe that I needed to get around him, size him up, stand tall on my own two feet, whether I was as good at trash talking as him or I was, I said a couple zingers or I did or I didn't. The confident man standing in your space for a guy like him who's always got to be the alpha, I don't have to be the loudest to be the alpha. He knows I'm the alpha, right? He talks himself into being the alpha. He stands tall.

He puffs his chest out. He's got a invisible lat syndrome. He's probably got risers in his shoes. So, I mean, I think it was very good for me. And I loved being around him. And I would have been around him a lot longer if I could have because I would have just constantly been like, hey man, so talk to me about this.

Have a little conversation with him. What the, you know? Soft spoken. Soft spoken. Carry a big stick. Quiet killer, dude. The last time you were on the show, it was kind of like, when was that?

Was that right after or right before you went for Ultimate Fighter? It sounds like around this time last year. Yeah, I think it was right before. Yeah. Right before I went to the Lisman Fighter. And you painted a beautiful picture about how this fight would go, Tyram Mountain in the first round, knock out in the second round. How do you, do you still envision the same structure of the fight, or has it changed since you've gotten to know the process a little bit more?

No, I think it's still the same. I mean, I think as much as this sport changes and it gets bigger, it's very, very, very basic. I think Connor having come off of this, injury um a devastating leg injury the the fact of the matter is he's not going to be able to move like the connor of old the reason we as an mma community loved and studied and were we're mystified by connor was his movement his angles his confidence in the pocket his confidence to be able to pull back land that big left hook he's going to be slower he's going to be sloppier he's

going to be less motivated um especially at 185 um but yeah i mean you guys know my my fight style i think i have yeah we got we got to probably talk about yeah we're going to break that that whole fight style down yeah no no coach willie and coach louis here especially all right boys we got to get in his face keep him second guessing himself okay step on the back you're just going to drop your head mike speak me speak your truth brother all right we're going to get in his face we're going to get in his face drop your hands and just the fact of the matter is Connor McGregor's a quitter okay Connor McGregor is a quitter especially when the pressure gets put on I watched him of floyd and that was a boxing match obviously but you look at the kibb fight you look at the you look at

the Nate Diaz fight the poor he's fights. I mean, when he gets pressure put on him, the alpha dog doesn't like, the guy who thinks he's the alpha dog doesn't like the pressure. Because ultimately, it's just one big facade that they're trying to make sure that the entire world doesn't out them or doesn't see the real them. The real Connor is a quitter. Conner McGregor will quit in the second round of this fight. I believe put the pressure on him. I hit him with hard shots. Maybe he hits me with a couple. I don't go down. He's not going to be as fast as he used to be. He's not going to have great timing like he used to be maybe he's got the same power maybe he doesn't um man it's going to be fun dude it's going to be really

really really fun and the the wrestling is always going to be there the submissions are always going to be there the cage is always going to be there to push him up against and smother them and turn it into a gritty dirty fight a cute little fun uh cute little kind of fight style that he likes that kind of space and that perfect crisp uh timing beats precision and precision beats power all that what all that stuff He says that stuff's just not going to be there because of his time off outside of the cage, my pressure that I'm going to put on him, and then the hands that I'm going to hit him. That's what I believe.

That did hype me up. Let's talk about wrestling. I don't think we should tip anything off. You're right. We're going to save this. We're going to pull on his head. We're going to do fake high crotch, sweep, single, pick him up, slam him on his neck.

Not too hard because I don't want to break the canvas. Yeah, we got to be going to talk about them. fake single high crotch pick him up daniel cormier style no i don't know we'll see yeah i think we we've talked about i think we got a style for you that you might like you got we'll talk we got we got we got a boy we got we got we got a couple of things yeah we all we all yeah we all put our heads together get them in there we interrupt this episode to bring you twisted tea twisted tea is a refreshing hard ice tea with real brewed tea and five percent alcohol full of flavor and very refreshing twisted tea goes down so smooth there is no carbonation which makes it easy to drink all day

Hey, I'm not going to, I'm not going to talk about anybody else his product, but I've heard some things. But no, I mean, hiatus. You ever had some proper tool?

I have. Actually, so whenever I got the phone call from the UFC about the ultimate fighter, Bree had bought me one of the little ones that day. I was like, I'm going to make it with a big old steak and then, you know, post about it or whatever. And no, I drank it. Irish whiskey. I'm not an Irish whiskey fan.

I'm more of a tequila guy. Okay. Hiatus is head and shoulders above most tequilas, let alone an Irish whiskey. Why'd you, why hiatus? Why'd you get into this? Pass me the darker one. I think I like it. Let me see that Blanco.

You know my taste. Is that the one? Is this the one I would like more? You like the repisado or the, I mean, the Inejo is aged 12 months in whiskey barrels. So you're going to get, you're going to get even more of that kind of oakier, whiskey, your taste with the repis. With the enejo, then you will the repisado. But the real test of a good tequila is how good is the Blanco? How good is the clear?

You know, if you can sip the clear, if you can sip the clear, if you can. can sip the clear, then it's a good tequila. And the reason our tequila Blanco is, is as good as it is because, nice little pop there, was because our founder, Chris, Christasoto said he wanted to create a tequila that was the way it was tequila was supposed to be intended, the way it was supposed to be. So we use only ripe agaves. You can, you can, you can fast track the process and pull your agaves at five, six years, so they're not ripe, they're not ready. But then through rectification process, you can add glycerins, you can add flavors. There's no vanilla flavor to ours,

which a lot of the tequila these days have, and they've changed the palate of the general population. Sounds like, it smells like Mexico. Some, very well-versed. No, I mean, I just like tequila, but I find. You got me into Mezcal. Yeah, mescal. We will do a mescal because, yeah, I like that smoke, man.

We're going to do a, we're going to do the mezcal. See, yeah, hey this. I thought we had the Inejo. I wanted to bring you on camera. This is incredible. Not a lot of bite Try that back there Not like no bite

Hey you know what was cool was that So Ed's awesome Do you know Ed Milette Yeah my let yeah yeah yeah Ed my let Is that Hey I know Mitch probably wants to Go ahead and give Mitch

Give him half the bottle But Ed Go ahead buddy have some Ed I texted him I said hey I'm gonna send you That's a little harder for me Yeah it'll be a little bit Blanco Blanco's are gonna be

For sure There's more like less flavor It's more like It's the purest form of tequila Yeah. So I come from the school of, dude, I sip that on the rocks. I come from a school of I had a very bad experience with tequila when I was young. And so my journey back, you were truly like the mezcal like kind of having that smoky flavor, that darker tequila. It's kind of like the lane I'm in because it was always hard to even smell tequila.

I was the same way because that's what we all do, right? It's our first, our first experience of tequila is I'm not going to say names because I obviously own this when I get in trouble. the ones that we all know from the well from the well where you take it and it's like no no Michael Chandler doesn't like the rock no I love the rock actually

hates the rocks I love the rock he said it Dwayne dude I love it I love the rocks to kill I got I have a bottle at my house and I own you on first name basis with the rock I mean we follow each other on Instagram I'll send him a message

we are boys all yeah you know okay but anyways listen the best thing happened Ed Milet a friend of mine I was like, hey, I'm going to send you. I say, hey, dad, because I call him dad, because people think we kind of look like, whatever. Okay, okay, yeah.

We might have to cut that part out. We might have to cut that out for his own. No, but I was like, hey, I'm sending you some tequila, right? So he does a video of, he was drinking the repisado, and he's like, guys, I got sent a bunch of whiskeys and tequilas and all that kind of stuff for Christmas. Who sent this hiatus? Because I don't know who sent it. You didn't put your name on it, but I just drank it.

It's the best tequila. I've ever had in my life. And my friend who is a big tequila kind of sewer, she just said it's the best tequila she's ever had in her entire life. So if anybody knows who hiatus is, if anybody knows who sent me this, please DM me, let me know. I sent him a message. I'm like, hey, dude, like that was, that was me. I told you I was sending a hiatus. Look at our text like from four texts ago. And he's like, oh my gosh. So then he went out to dinner. I blow him up on text. He comes back. And he's like, oh my gosh, guys. Okay. Now I figured out who sent me the tequila. So that was like the best non-biased reaction that I ever could have asked for and the hiatus people is he in on it now he is not but you rest assured

i mean anything i do business wise i talk to ed about whether it be him his him wanting to invest come on board bring other people strategic partners hiatus is definitely something i'm going to hound him about um and obviously he likes the product the first sale is always to yourself do you love the product you believe in what you're saying so he likes it so we'll see that's good stuff it is good what you guys think back i didn't try the rest uh rest uh resta let me see that. Smooth, right? Bring it back over here.

Let me let Daddy have a sip. Six shots worth. If you just show Mitch like a hundred dollar bail, he'll do it. I know. I saw, whenever I grabbed that out of my truck, I saw Mitch walk out of the other side of the compound you guys got. There's no vanilla in this? No.

It has vanilla smell to it. Well, you're probably getting some of the wood smell, the wood smells from the oak pearls. That is good. She can get a little, it's going to be. near as harsh as the Blanco, but I feel like the Blanco is not harsh. Yeah, yeah, it's not harsh, but just compared to that one. Yeah, comparing apples to apples, if you compare our Blanco, that's just what tequila

tastes like compared to the other Blanco's. That's going to be a little bit more harsh than this because it gets a little bit more, I guess, masked slash changed by the woods. The passion in your body limit just now. Hey, I'm going to get you, I'm going to get you a I'm going to get you the Inejo, though, because you're a whiskey guy, so I'm going to get you the Inejo. I thought I had an Yeho on my truck. So I can just take that one.

No, that's the reposte. You can take that one, but I'm going to give you the Yeho. In Yeo, you get six more months, six more months of that. Ugh. Yeah. You know. What's that? We did that.

Pull that down. What is that? Explain that. What is that? I don't know what it was. I don't think there is. Is that why your reaction the other night? You were like, oh, you, you, you.

Yeah. I thought it was a whatever you want to do, Harvey. Do what you want, brother? Dude, hey, and I'm out of the loop. I had no idea about the who had it. Who had a bet. like well Mike really just doesn't watch no yeah I really don't so yeah we're gonna be like hey you want to come on a live show I'm like I would love to but like please don't ask me too

with Sam's and stuff we were trying to get people in there and then yeah there was easily 10 20 minutes where I would just check out and just be just either spitting venom at people for a minute no you would just be I forgot you were there a couple times I was so like invested I was the little guy there sunk in the couch banged up will and jp chirping jp was probably MVP at the whole stream jp and jack actually they were in there and like talking to the chat all that hey people were people were dogged on you for just uh sinking into that couch you were just laying like this he was just laying like this dude all

Nebraska there's nothing cheer for man my huskies my husk bro yeah you dub the huskies err

smart house Disney channel or daddy daycare no Dr. Doolittle dude the new one Dr. Doolittle.

No, the old one with Eddie. Well, Eddie Murphy might be in the new one too, but the old one. No, I think Iron Man was in the new one, right? Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah, I usually am. He's talking about going to a different college. He's like, no, I thought you were going to U-dub. The Huskies.

No, I didn't get that. My only connection to W. You want to get it? Washington. Hit him with a quote real quick. Me? No, Will. Hit Mike one with a movie quote.

See if you can get the movie. Um, what's your genre of movies you usually like? Uh, I'm all over the place. What about a time in your life where you felt like you're watching movies a lot? College. Because I would like to get something maybe in your house.

All right, let's have a couple conversations so I can think of a good one. All right, I got one. You got one? Yeah, I got one. I'll give you the genre. It's a comedy. All right? The quote goes like this.

Well, there was Johnny and Stevie and Jimmy and some of the other Hitler youth. That's the quote. Colt classic movie. Chat, answer it, chat. you're not going to get it what was the question before i wouldn't think so i don't think someone asked like hey who was there huh did someone ask hey who was there guy gets beat up in a hotel room comes back to

the house he lives out with a bunch of guys and they ask what happened hey otter what happened cult classic y'all get that with the otter that might be too young for it too i i'm too young for it great movie though right i thought i messed up the names but that wasn't the point you would still got it as animal house national lampoon's animal house that's one of my favorite comedies of all time i never see every time you watch it it it gets better you never seen it i've seen it i've seen it you're lying what's it about a frat house yeah come on bro rat house with jim bellushi what is

what is it called what was the movie no belushi when you said jim belushi i really thought it's Definitely John, but maybe I'm wrong. I haven't seen that. Dog, it's good. I know. It's good, but it's like an older. No, man, that bones me out too because, yeah. It's one of those things where I feel like I've seen so many different scenes around.

I've never, I don't know if I've actually sat down. How about somebody was asking him how he got this vehicle? And the response was, I know some people that know some people that rob some people. I feel like you should get this one. Yeah, I should because I know, as soon as you said the quote, I knew it. But just leave me a second. Is it the town? No, you're out, Mike.

You are out. rob some people four brothers yeah departed it's one of those Boston movies no no no it's a comedy yeah it's a comedy there we go it's a comedy it's a it's a unique one i know any you guys back there know hey hey a black guy says it right yeah okay i did i was thinking like i felt like this this should be one that test taylor but he might be able to pull off i want to ask more questions but this is more my journey now Ask a couple questions. Is it in the 2000s this movie came out?

Yes. Is the chat gotten in it? You know it? Text me. Text it to me. Oh, I want to look at my phone. This is the worst feeling.

When you know it, but you can't get it out, I'm failing myself. Side character. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know.

How did you get this? Oh, is it a cult classic movie? I don't know if you'd go like that far, but yeah, yes. Is there nine of them? Did you say that's cult classic?

I mean, Yeah, I mean, there's I feel like if we If we tip this part off Is that right? It really narrows it down To what it could be though, JPM I don't think I'm gonna get it

So go and tip that part off And see if I can connect the dots It's like It's a cult classic Because it's like a remake You're gonna be sick When you hear that. God, I'm so upset

I'm already man Is it Jamie Fox who says it? No Oh, yes No It is I feel like it is Horrible bosses

No. No, Star Skia and Hutch. He's, he's, he, he's, he starts getting hush. Oh, yeah. He got the car and they're like, how'd you get your hands on this? I'm pretty sure Jamie Fox says that in horrible bosses. I think that was more like sitting at the bar. When they hired, they hired him to be the hitman, right?

Yeah. And he never was the hitman. Yeah. That's a good one. Hey, that was a good one. What did you got, Mike? This? No, no, no.

That was a game. We're playing. Be careful with that. Okay, I got you. Playing a cool game. Yeah, this is really one off the rails. Connor McGregor, Michael Chandler. What I've gotten from this podcast is

Conner's maybe, probably not. Yes, he is. Could be in your head. Ireland hates Connor and loves you. Connor is a weak-minded individual that doesn't like the fight being brought to him. If you were to play, see you guys both at 185 where neither one of you have to cut weight,

the work ethic wins, with Michael Chandler. Carter Wager thinks he has more pull in the UFC than he actually does. Did I nail the five pillars of this podcast? So there's the sixth pillar. If we were both on a battlefield back in the day, we were going to fight to the death. Like final scene, the chambers are empty.

I walk out. Braveheart. Yeah, I walk out. Start stripping down. The gray. Yeah, the gray. It's a band for soul. Taping your.

I have not seen that movie, but I saw that scene and I got hard watching. It's the only scene you need to see, dude. he starts taping and looking at the wolf, right? So I was looking at the wolf. I was like, oh my God, I got to watch this film. Have you seen the mine? The mine. This podcast is so funny.

Have you seen the mine? The military guy walks into a mine field. He puts his foot on a mine and he can't take his foot off. You never even saw the trailer? You're talking about, uh, you're talking about Kingsman. No. You remember that scene? For like 48 hours.

Yeah, because he tells her like, just go. He's just going to start seeing in West Virginia. Yeah. That song, that part. It goes hard too. I feel like the Kingsman is a series of movies that is underrated. So good. I feel like not enough people talk about them.

Are they? Because I thought the origin story, it was a little long-winded for me, but the first two with Eggsy, have you seen those movies? They are so. English? They're English people? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're the ones we beat to get our own country.

That's who you're wondering. Yeah. But thank God those guys weren't there because we probably would have lost. Yeah. These dudes would have beat our ass. I don't know because in the second one, I'm not going to go with spoilers. Yeah, no spoilers.

No spoilers. Hey, Mitch, great. The question. Brought to us by Twisted Tea. The best hard iced tea in the game. You know, whether you're celebrating,

you know, Easter, tailgating, whatever the occasion, twisted tea's got it all. Keep it twisted with twisted, with the twisted kings. Uh,

kick off your 2024 with twisted tea today. This question comes to us from Mitch, from the internet. I got one cooking in my head too, I think. Oh, we, a twisted question? Yeah, I think so. I think of one.

I have a... If it sucks, throw it in there. Yeah, well, all right. It'll definitely be better than Mitches. Track record might prove that to be right. God damn, a Mitch. We've kind of done one sort of along these lines. Would you rather go through life unable to forget anything ever

or go through life unable to remember anything? That's a terrible question. I would want to go through life, never be able to forget anything ever. it's just so hard I get that it's hard but when you read a question like that from the internet you don't just think to yourself this is a ridiculous question

is anybody taking you forget everything oh would you rather have an incredible memory or a shit memory this is our twisted tea question bro that is insane that's the worst one that's the most I got a deep one

oh shoot go ahead and save the day like you always do JP if you could ask a question about your future and have it answered what would it be good question great question if you'd ask a question about your future what would it be uses his brain just a little bit fuck you Mitch I think this is deeper rooted we know your family watches the show I feel like this is deeper rooted than just me having bad questions you're just trying to shit on me

no he just said it your family's watching we got to put on a show for him. I know your family's at home right now. I'd be like, they're right. It's probably not a good question. You have to ask better questions than that. I thought you told you're, you know what? This is on your parents and your grandmother and your aunt, whoever was in South Carolina.

This is not on them. Do not put this blame on them. If they really watch the show, they're going to start sending you twisted questions. If your parents really watch this show, you need some support. They're going to start sending it because I'm putting, I'm putting the pressure on the entire Carsley family now. God bless your sweet grandma, too. You know she's saying, like, we have to stop.

allowing him to drag our names to the mud. Stop, stop, stop. He's already dead. Yeah, when she heard you ask that question, she's like, oh, no, Mitch. Oh, Mitchell? Mitchell. No, Mitchie Bear. Come on, even after all that, you still don't think that was a bad question?

I said it was a bad question. Okay. So why did you ask you? You're doing it on purpose? You know, your dad's so disappointed right now, man. My dad probably thinks you guys are being so serious right now. We are. No, like actually shitting on me because he does not know how, like,

humor works? Give and take humor works. I want to be clear, we are having fun and we are also shitting on him. What question would you have the answer to? Yeah, I don't know. I didn't take. Yeah, I was too busy. I was too busy and being pissed off.

I feel like you might have a really good one. No. No, me, I'm not. You know your answer, J.P.? I don't want J.P's answers because it's going to be. really good. I'm going to want to take it. No, I mean, I've heard like several different answers from people that I like.

What are a few? Like one, one is like, uh, are my kids going to be okay? Like, am I going to have to bury my kid? Yeah, I was, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wouldn't want to, I, um, I would not want to ask, answer that question. I more so thought, am I going to be around? Yeah.

As my, you know, kids get older. Because that, because that could be like, they could get right now. We don't even want to talk about it. It could be very soon or very way in line. And you would have wished that you would have not worried so much

is today going to be the day? Part of me doesn't want to ask a personal question about myself. More just because of the fear of if you get that answer and it's like, am I going to outlive my kids essentially is what you asked, right? And they go, no.

Everything's officially changing. Like that, even just saying that out loud. That's a very fair point. Yeah. I think that's a good thing. Knowing that information, I would honestly go not that it happens but

knowing like you and I do think you carry yourself how you should be carrying yourself yeah but every day knowing the answer every day you're thinking is this the day because all you know is because I'm sure it's like a

like a genie thing like you have three wishes but you'd be very detailed about your wish you can't just get so I'm sorry I got to start it with the lights turning on those lights really messed me up

well I wish I had a great memory all the time Mitch but yeah I would want Well, I would honestly go away from the family thing because having it be a mystery, the good of the answer would not be as good as how bad it would be. Fuck. Well said. That's really good tequila.

I'm banged up right now. No, I feel you on asking that. That would terrify me to ask a personal question. I'm actually, that makes me happy we did that, though, because I get a really hard question. Because then I started thinking, I'm like, well, okay, let's just say, since we talked about this, Okay, what if I just knew the outcome of this fight, right? So then you're like, okay, well, I'm going to win. So then I just do everything right.

But if all of a sudden the answer is, I'm sorry, you're going to lose. And you're like, screw it. I'm not going to train. Yeah. Or you train, but you just know, like, I got nothing to lose because I'm going to lose. That's a hard question because I feel like. I feel like. I feel like.

Yeah, exactly. For sure. Then you end up winning. Wait, and you're good. Yeah, they're like, wait a second. We just broke the continuum. And that's a good enough, like short of a movie. Asked to where you wouldn't put everything into that.

I will the Empire of America be around in 50 years oh that'd be a fun one you already knew that one you just thought of it I just thought of that yeah I think we got to pick you back that

your brain is beautiful that's a good one so you guys voting for did you have the camera back on JP when he said that do it again JP so we have the clip no look at us though look at us okay

JP have you thought of one yet yeah will the Empire of America be around in 50 years Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. Don't cut any of that, Mitch. Yeah, that was going to leave that.

Watch it just be our voices while the camera's still on JP. I'm just kidding. Oh, you're drunk. Oh, you are drunk. Are you buzzing? You're the one who said, I'm not that drunk. What are we talking about? On hiatus, boys.

I am after this show, I'm calling your parents. I got to. I got to. You got to put us on FaceTime with him, yeah. all right what is the question you would ask jp's

does everybody do one that's usually the goal but you more like that's why jp said I don't know if it's like for the segment usually they're like quicker funnier

I like the one where it's like hey would you fart once a year would you poop your pants every day what was it like one of those deals that was a good one that was a good one you've had some solid ones

I remember that my thought why I reacted the way I did is you are now taking the time to read questions from the internet so you in your mind get to think to get the filter is this a good or bad one and you had the audacity to think oh this might be one that hits are there things are there things that you wouldn't want like if you if you do not have any memory you're like a gold fish you just kind of you're living every day to its fullest and you just don't know anything different

but if you have a very very good memory it's like you don't forget a single thing and that could be like a lot. You don't want to remember some sort of like certain things. Hey, would you rather be, have photographic memory or be 10 second Tom from 50 first dates? I was thinking of him too. Yeah. Just bro. Hey, you know what it is? You're too close. You're too close situation. You need to zoom out a little bit. I'm looking at the window. I wish that clip was, always there was a camera on you. What's going on out there? Do you have a question that you'd ask? I would ask. I would ask.

I would ask. Have the Cornhuskers won a national championship in football? That was mine. Over the next 20 years. You need to change the word have to will. Yeah, okay. Yeah, because you say have. Yeah, they almost have one in 97.

How many championships has Nebraska football won in the next 20 years? Oh, bro. He's just like zero. Poof. because now it's a genie just gets out of there you see your zero and it's just a gunshot my would be

what is the next startup going on right now that will be a Fortune 500 company oh fuck right you picked yours though you can't go back your sucks

yeah mine's gonna be like hell yeah oh it's god damn but you know every year like maybe this is the year they lose a game like okay not this year and they get a whole other year that would be mine

you can't take it Mike you know what I would do I would go in along the lines of trying to live as long as you can I would say the answer to the question what exact the question supplement food

protocol can I be on take right now that makes me live the longest that's good stay away from I liked it stay away from cancer and all that stuff stay away from fighting

would probably be the answer from the genie and then foo out of there hell yeah I wouldn't stop they give you the protocol but what if you just still catch like a heart attack hmm

you wouldn't know 60s or 7 you wouldn't but live the longest but what if your expiration date still like let's say 83 then you just that's when you expire

you know what I wouldn't be afraid of is knowing when I would die I don't think I would be really scared of that if I'm like hey when I die they're like six years from now I'd be like cool I had six years to make the most of this

or you die when you're 90 I can I get some I can neglect some other relationships right now I can get back to that a little bit. I think that's where JP was kind of getting at because you live life to the fullest. But it's much better if it's yourself instead of talking about your family.

Go on Japs. Oh, nice. Japs. I kind of like it, dude. Wow, dude. You must a show you got to get some NFTs going. Yeah. The Japes.

That is a good. All right. I have one cooking in my brain, but it's not like fully developed yet, but it's a would you rather. It has to do with this fight. Obviously, you got one?

Would you rather K.O. Connor McGregor and win your next three fights to get the belt? Or, if that went on, no, take away the or,

take away the or, take it with your. This is where the development. Yeah, that's where we were at. Okay. But if all those things happen, Will and Taylor

lose our podcast, and go financially broke. Oh my God. Or vice versa. You lose this fight and you're done forever, but we crush it. Dang, dude, that's tough, bro. How you guys...

It sucks when you're on that side, isn't it? It's like the Michigan... Yeah, it's exactly what it is. It's like the Michigan. I gotta go with... Listen, you guys can... I will help you rebuild after I go K. O'Connor win that title.

And we got everything with it. we ever wanted and needed, okay? We'll get a bigger bus. We don't need a bigger bus. We'll get a smaller bus. This plus is perfect. We don't want this bus. I got to go with myself, boys.

Hey, that's the right call. Yeah, it's the right call. And I hedged my bet with my genie wish, too. So I'm going to be a right. Yeah, they got to see. Do that? There you go. Hedge my bed with my genie wish.

Sorry, Will. No, no. Throw me a throw. We'll know that Nebraska is either one or lost national championship for 20 years. Well, you're broke. Put me back in by you, Bonter, dude. Find a way. Scratching claw. Yeah, throw me back in the mud, man.

Will Compton, head coach, Bontair, High. Oh, what was yours, JP? If you could exist in any of, like, your childhood favorite TV shows or movies, which would you choose to exist in? Man, there's so many. So many. Imagine being a part of the rocket power crew. Yeah.

That wouldn't be mine. Imagine being a Power Ranger. Imagine being the lifeguard at the Goologoon and Bikini Bottom. No. Imagine, uh, hang in with, uh, with Doug and Skeeter. Dude. Arnold and, uh, Gerald. Imagine being A.C. Slater.

We're a rug rat. Being a rug rat. I don't know about that one. I don't know about that. I don't like that. I just want to be a baby. A.C. Slater wrestling champion at Bayside High or whatever it was, dude. Johnny Bravo.

You said animated shows? Any childhood? Any childhood? Barney, dude. Oh. Oh, come on. Oh, yeah, Pokemon. For sure, it would be like

Just a trainer. Great pool. That's my pick. Unless something else better comes up. But right now that's my pick. No, no. Unless something better comes up. Pokemon's a great pick.

Yeah, yeah, it's all, but I feel like there's one out there. Goonies. Rocket power would be a lot of fun. What about Dragon Ball Z? Being a beast. That would be yours? Over the lifeguard of the Gula goon. You need to choose, like, what kind of character you are, I guess?

Yeah. Yeah, but like, If I'm in Dragon Ball Z, I'm for sure saying. But you don't get a shoes, or you do get your shoes. You do get to choose. But you can't be the main character. I'm cool with that. Are you?
