An incident, we were playing truth or dare and it was when I was in high school and I was dared to streak down Peyton Manning's driveway and I did it. No way. Yeah. So I don't know if the security footage exists, but I was, yeah, I was naked running down Peyton Manning's driveway. So yeah. Peyton, if you're watching this, post it.

Oh wait, you were under 18 though. I was under 18. Okay. So that's a sex charge I think actually. Wherever you guys are watching this show, i would truly appreciate it if you follow or subscribe it helps a lot with the algorithm it helps us get bigger and better guests and it helps us grow the team truly means a lot thank you guys for supporting and here's the episode all right charlie arnold here today we're here for the Super Bowl. I'm so pumped. It's going to be a good game.

This is going to be a great game and just everything that's going on in Vegas. I mean, this is the perfect setting for Super Bowl. And obviously, as someone who works for UFC as well, it's great because I get to sandwich everything in between one another. I had a UFC, then we'll have Power Slap, and then I'll have Super Bowl. So it's a busy week for me. Yeah, I've seen you do a bunch of UFC interviews. You interviewed Dana White a few times. What was that like?

I mean, Dana's fantastic. He is one of a kind. Genuinely one of the best people I've ever met in my entire life. I mean, the reason why I respect him so much is because he just wants the people around him to be as authentic as possible. And that's how he lives his life. And I feel like he's always really pushed me beyond like my comfort zone, especially when I was at ESPN and I told him, I think I might be leaving. And I told him what my potential plans were. And he was so excited for me. He was like,

this is great. I'm so happy for you. I knew you were cool. Now you're even cooler. So Dana's just great. That's sick. Cause very few people make that jump, jump from traditional media to kind of your own. Yeah, it's been interesting. Although I find that my whole career has really been like very unexpected. I mean, I never could have told you 10 years ago the different stops I would have made along the way. And even now, I have to imagine that my next, you know, whatever happens next, I won't be able to predict right now. That's crazy.

Yeah. Yes. Because WWE was first, right? Yeah. Well, well first i was a local news reporter right i mean i was like the girl who was toting around the tripod and that was you yeah in west virginia my first job was in huntington west virginia and if you haven't been there yeah i mean major culture shock i was like in trailer parks damn interviewing people whose family member had overdosed and died on bath salts like calling my mom i'm like if you don't hear from me because i didn't have service like you should be worried

is that where you lived at the time yeah i lived in huntington west virginia my first job out of college i was in uh school in dc at american university and my first job was in huntington so that was first stop and then kansas city actually uh where i was a breaking news reporter on the morning show back Back to Indianapolis. That's where I broke into sports. And then from there, I got hired by WWE. So I had already a whole little route that I took before getting to pro wrestling, which, again, never would have told you I'd go there. And then ESPN.

And then now I'm with OutKick and Fox News. And UFC also was introduced while at ESPN and then they loved me so much that they're like we don't care that you're not with ESPN we're gonna keep you incredible yeah I'm curious about the news reporting because I had Carrie Lake on the show oh you did and she is she was talking very badly about it so what was your experience being a news reporter I mean it's I don't know for me it was it was just a lot i mean there's a lot of stories that personally i could have cared less about uh that you have you know you're forced to cover there's all the different types of stories that you uh immerse yourselves in but i don't know it

was just it was a grind it was it was a big grind i didn't love it local news i would never in my life dare to go back another day uh but that's why i got into sports uh news was just i mean every day it was just i had to stop watching it it was just it was depressing so depressing i would go to school i would watch the news and then go to school i'd be depressed by the time you would watch the news before you went to school it was normal in jersey yeah wow i grew up hating republicans because in jersey it's heavy democrat so i was like pretty brainwashed, honestly. It was wild. Well, what channel were you watching?

I think ABC. But were you watching national or local news? Local. Okay. Actually, I don't know. New York. So I guess local. New York, though, I will say is a bit different.

New York is almost seen as national news in the local scene. But yeah, I didn't love it. That's why I got into sports and it's so much better i mean it's more uplifting the worst thing that happens is generally your team loses and you move on to the next game but i still am now at fox news i'm actually getting to do a lot more news i'm doing politics i'm doing uh pop culture so it's actually kind of come full circle where now i am back in news as well nice i. I love it. And that led to you getting on Maxim, right? Isn't this crazy? That is nuts. It's crazy. Well, they called me and I was like, I'm sorry, do you have the right number? So that was really cool. And I was actually surprised

that I was allowed to do it because I know that Maxim is a bit racier. I mean, everyone knows, you know, when you think of Maxim, you think it's a bit more risque and they had no issue with me doing it. So I was super pumped. And the shoot itself was awesome. I got to work with Jill Bensiman. He's one of the premier photographers in the world. And it was just, you know, he's like, just trust it. Don't worry about it.

And I just kind of let go of all my inhibitions. And we came out with some great shots. Love it. Now, you had some interesting takes on your Twitter. I want to go through a couple of these. You tweeted out that vegans are unhealthy mentally and physically. Yes. Why do you feel that way about vegans?

I mean, we're meant to eat meat. Just like look at the caveman days. I mean, were they looking and scouring for greens to pick? No, they were eating meat and they were very healthy. I mean, just look at the body types throughout the years, too. I mean, we progressively are looking less healthy. And I think it's because we are force feeding ourselves these horrendous diets that not only is, you know, big corporations pushing on us, but also the government. I mean, even the government has said that the climate is being affected by people eating too much meat, which is absolutely ridiculous. I don't agree with the whole green agenda. The climate change thing is such a hoax

to me. But I just think that there's so many people who have done the studies and have looked at the science and it's not meat that's causing the problem. It's all of the processed garbage and chemicals that are in a lot of the foods that we're consuming now. And it's really quite unhealthy. It's unhealthy. And those companies that are doing the process stuff are funding the studies. Of course. You can't even get around it. Yeah. I mean, I'm really into health now. And like so much so that I look at the ingredient label for everything. I mean, if there are seed oils, I try my best to avoid it. Like I don't use canola oil anymore, sunflower oil, all of that. I mean, I only use oil anymore, sunflower oil, all of that. I only use olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut

oil. It makes such a difference. I had to give up Chipotle. I used to eat it every day. What's in Chipotle? They use seed oils. Oh, they do? There's an app called... I thought they... They announced they might change it. Oh, that was... No more Chipotle for me either. Download

Seed Oil Scout. It's an app. It tells you what every restaurant... I know Seed Oil Scout. Yeah. Literally every fast food place uses it. Well, that was okay. Yeah. Nothing. Okay. Well then no more Chipotle for me either. Download seed oil scout. It's an app. It tells you what every restaurant seed oil scout. Yeah. Literally every fast food place. Well, it's crazy. Cause I was walking in New York. It was a few months ago and I was outside of Ruby Rosa, which is a, I don't know if you are familiar with the New York restaurant scene. It's a very popular Italian restaurant in Nolita and you know, they serve you olive oil. I'm sure they're cooking, touting that they're probably using great ingredients. I saw a massive jug outside on the street that they were tossing out their trash. And it said olive oil and canola oil mixture. I mean, they were just buying them by the freaking gallons.

And I'm like, that's so disgusting. Yeah, they're all about margins with restaurants, which is kind of the problem. So you very rarely find one that will use quality oils. Right. You know what I mean? You also tweeted out you're not a fan of Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel is a bit of a baby. I think he's like one of those people.

He dishes all this, you know, stuff out, like all these jokes. And, oh, it's just a joke. We have this team of researchers to make sure everything we're saying has, you know, a bit of validity behind it, which is in fact so untrue, by the way. Half the stuff he says is ridiculously untrue. And it's all targeted at very specific people, we have probably realized. And the whole thing with Aaron Rodgers was insane. I mean, he was like, I'm going to sue you because you called me a pedophile. Listen to what Aaron Rodgers said.

He did not call him a pedophile, and it just created all this drama. But we know why, Aaron Rodgers, because he's conservative, because he's anti-vax. That's the only reason that Jimmy Kimmel was coming after him and then couldn't tolerate the stuff coming back his way. I'm a fan of this new Aaron Rodgers, man. I love Aaron Rodgers now. I actually didn't love him when he was playing years ago he always came across to me yeah i don't know i just kind of was turned off by him a little bit but now that i kind of see where it's coming from i love him i love it i love it he's the only player speaking

his mind yeah i want you know i do wonder how many other players feel the same way though it's got to be a ton but the thing is he's made his money already yeah so he could leave the game yeah he doesn't it's kind of similar with pat mcafee like aaron rogers knows that he's needed more than he needs you know the nfl at this point for example so i just i don't think he has anything to lose and he's already gone this far he might as well keep going absolutely shout out to aaron man keep doing what you're doing if you're watching this you also said it's hard to take the Me Too movement seriously. Yeah. That was an interesting take coming from a female.

Yeah, yeah. You know, I just, and it's actually horrible because I have to second guess every story that I hear now. You know, even, for example, the Vince McMahon stuff that just came out a couple, I guess, days ago at this point. You know, there was the woman at the company who revealed all of this, you know, this relation. It was pretty crazy. And I will say it's disgusting, you know, but. Are you interested in coming on the Digital Social Hour podcast as a guest? We'll click the application link below in the description of this video. We are always looking for cool stories, cool entrepreneurs to talk to you about business and life. Click the application link below

and here's the episode, guys. You have to look at why is she coming now? And it's because she was supposed to get a payout, $3 million. She only got a million dollars. So that's 2 million short. So then she decided to go public. And so, you know, it's tough

because when you look at the situation and how long it went on for and the things that happened it's like okay was vince mcmahon wrong sure you know for having this type of relationship and you know allowing it to go in the direction but why was she engaged in that relationship and why didn't she put an end to it sooner or say something sooner you know i don't know maybe she was trying to work her way up in the company and that's yeah and i just have a problem with now that you're not getting paid now you come public so it's timing for you yeah it's it's just it's not about it could have very well been mutual so i just don't like that i don't like to portray men as being the devil.

If the woman is just as complicit in the situation. I mean, look at Trevor Bauer, too. He was completely dragged through the mud. And it turned out that he did absolutely nothing wrong. And now he still can't get a job in MLB. Yeah, it just happened to Jonah Hill. It happened to Trump. Almost every high profile.

It happened to Russell Brand. Oh, yeah. I mean, there's just so many stories now. And it drives me nuts. And now, you know, as a woman, I feel like they're doing so much damage because there are women out there who are victims. Right. And now you have to question the validity every single time of is your story true and what's the motive behind it? And I think that it's just the Me Too movement and what it aimed to do has disappeared. Yeah, I think the intentions were right at first and

then they got a little too carried away. Yeah, people realized that there was money to be made and maybe clout to gain. And so they started using the Me Too movement for the wrong reasons. It ends a lot of athletes' careers too. It's horrible. I mean, I feel bad for these guys

and I think a lot of people are becoming more aware, you know, when a girl slides in your DMs, like what you say back and how they treat, you know, the different types of situations, which, you know, when a girl slides in your DMs, like what you say back and how they treat, you know, the different types of situations, which, you know, you should be careful because you do have a lot to lose. And I think even more normal people should be careful with how they, you know, treat various situations. But, you know, it's also it's your life.

You know, you shouldn't have to tiptoe around every single thing with the worry that someone's going to try to take you down. Right. So you got the Me Too movement. You also got cancel culture movement yes yeah and i actually uh feel like i've been semi-canceled in a few moments now that i've started airing out my opinions which one specifically got some backlash you know i'm really having a hard time with the the trans movement um and it's not about it's not about me not thinking that people should be able to live their lives the way they want do exactly what you want to do when you want to do it that's not my

business just like my business isn't your business and you know no one should be shamed for whatever they choose to do but i don't think it should be forced upon other people uh like i don't take my sexuality and try to force it on others so i don't understand why we're in a situation now where kids are being taught, you know, about all of this stuff at a young age. That's not correct. I just think that there's so much pollution right now on social media and it's doing such damage to kids. And they're not able to make decisions for themselves because they have all of this stuff just being thrust at them so much. So now you have kids who are already probably so confused you know you remember when you were growing up yeah it's like i was a tomboy it wasn't like oh i love i love sports i was put on an all-boy soccer team once in fact because they my name was charlie and they're

like oh she's a boy yeah so you know but it wasn't a situation where someone was like, you know, you love sports. Maybe maybe you are a boy. Maybe like you identify as a boy. No, that wasn't what it was. And if someone would have said that. Yeah. Holy like what if I, you know, did something crazy and that's what's happening now. It's you know, it's it's not kids are confused. They're growing up. That's part of growing up. They shouldn't be indoctrinated by their teachers who have these close relationships with and spend all their time with and even more so than their parents in some situations. Right. It's it's horrible. Yeah. You got to worry about that.

And also the teachers are putting these kids on medications, ADD medications, Adderall. Yeah. I mean, that's terrible. Every little thing now is diagnosed as, oh, you have something wrong with you and you need medication for it. And that's another problem, you know, is just, um,

you're not letting people figure it out on their own. They're just medicating them. And that's it. There's like no independence now that they want everyone to be the same. Yeah. And that's one of the things that, you know, when I said that everyone came out at me,

Oh, you're transphobic, you're hateful. And especially a lot of the WWE fans, they have a big LGBTQ community. Yeah. And that's great. And I've always been very supportive of everybody.

I have tons of friends who are gay and I don't look at them any differently than I would my straight friends. But yeah, just people were like, Oh, I can't believe it. You know, you were so, you were so tolerant and accepting when you were in wwe and now that you're on fox and working

for outkick you're just a bigot and i'm like what what are you talking about i mean it's just crazy yeah does the hate ever get to you or are you kind of just you know it did for a little bit at the beginning it was just like geez like do i do i want to do this like do i want to say these things um because it it hurts you know because i know that i'm a super tolerant person and i i'm actually there's nobody in the world that i would choose not to be friends with because of the way that they choose to live their lives um but i also then realized that there was a lot of people who were very supportive of what I was saying. And I had a lot of people reaching out saying, thank you so much for saying, especially like the trans athletes thing. You know, like it's great.

Play your sport, but you can't, you know, come and trample on women's successes and take away their opportunities. Yeah, because you identify differently. That's that's not cool or fair or right and so i had a lot of people who were saying thank you and especially even people from espn reaching out to me and say hey we can't say anything so thank you for being the one to say something that's cool yeah i saw that man's the swimming guy yeah leah thomas yeah that was terrible which it's like for espn it's women's month you know and they they make this whole thing we want to stay out of politics we don't want to get involved but then yet you make such a strong stance putting out a tribute

video for leah thomas during women's month yeah give me a break i'm really curious how the next olympics are going to handle that issue well you know that leah thomas is trying to file a lawsuit against the governing body of the olympics so she can compete in the Paris Olympics this summer. So I don't, I hopefully, I've been told by people who are more in the know that they don't think she'll be successful. But still, the fact that this is even happening, like, what world are we living in? Yeah, that's a 300-year-old organization, the Olympics.

Yeah, I mean, it's just... They've had the same rules. And women have had Title IX to protect themselves for so long, and now we're just like, oh, never mind. Yeah. You talk about some controversial stuff and now you're even doing politics, right? Yeah. Are you backing anyone publicly yet?

Yeah. I mean, I've been a Donald Trump fan forever. He's the policies that he puts in place are the ones that we need. I mean, it doesn't take someone even to veer one way politically or another to realize like the condition our country's in right now. The economy is horrible. You have tons of people living paycheck to paycheck. I mean, even when I go to the grocery store, I'm alarmed by how expensive things are. It's stupid. I mean, I walk out with one bag of groceries and it costs me a hundred dollars. So I feel for the people who are feeding families,

you know, I'm just on my own. I don't have to pay for kids and everyone else. But think about people that have two, three, four kids. And that sucks. And then additionally, just the border situation is, what are we doing? Truly, there are no laws anymore. Just the other day in New York, you had illegal immigrants who were beating up New York City cops. Wow.

And they were released without bail. They went to jail for like two seconds, released. And it's just there's no laws anymore. That's crazy. So can anyone just go through the border right now in Mexico? Literally, you can walk through. You literally just walk through. There's no one in the marina?

There's nothing in place. What? Yeah, I mean, it's, I think in December, 300,000 illegal immigrants came over. Jeez. And they're not documented. They can, when they get out, you know, in the airports, they don't have their photo taken. They're put on planes without any type of security screenings, without health screenings. Could you imagine?

I mean, we have TSA, 9-11 occurred. We put all of these security measures in place, right, to ensure that there was much more safety. I mean, because look what happened, right? Look what happened when there was people slipped through the cracks. We had terrorists on planes and it was incredibly horrible what happened. And now we're letting people get on the plane without having any type of security screening yeah i wonder who knows to say that something horrible couldn't happen as a result of that for sure or disease being spread yeah you're in you're in close quarters i don't know i wonder what their thought process is by allowing by opening it did they ever

release that or listen it's it's all a part of the government's plan i mean we have a you know kind of i guess a legacy in this country you know we have of the people that i don't really want to get into all that because i you know you get into like a little bit of racial stuff um but yeah i mean eventually we are going to be predominantly i think the makeup of this country is very quickly changing uh but they like that because that equals votes for the democrats wait so if you're not a citizen can you vote right now uh if you are not a citizen uh no technically you can't vote but but they're very quickly pushing all of that through where you do have the rights to be involved politically in this country and all that. Whereas the people who are coming over legally have much more difficult processes that they must go through.

So it just doesn't make sense. Yeah, I feel like this election coming up is one of the most important. It's very important. It's so important i can't even imagine this situation that we're going to be going through if joe biden is reelected i don't even think joe biden could handle former years in office i mean look at the decline that he's going through right now did you see the james o'keefe thing recently yeah he exposed him i mean dementia and all that oh yeah absolutely i mean he's clearly not well yeah and what's what's going to happen if he gets voted in and can't continue kamala harris is our president i mean that's

her approval rating is even worse than joe biden's it's donald trump or joe biden at this point and i hope to god it's donald trump we'll see if america learned yeah i mean i thought there's a lot of people who are switching over now, though, like people you didn't expect. I think Snoop Dogg just endorsed Donald Trump. He used to hate him. Yeah. Damn.

Hated him. But that's what I'm saying. A lot of people. It's not Michael Rappaport. He switched over. He is the biggest liberal ever. And even he said, I'm not counting on voting for Donald Trump. Wow.

Because people are just sick of what's going on. He's a New York City guy. Yeah. New York City is in shambles. It's a sanctuary city. So all of these immigrants that are coming over, they are welcome with open arms into New York City. And Eric Adams just launched this program where now they're giving prepaid credit cards to illegals. So me and you, who are law-abiding citizens, you know, legal in this country.

You know, we don't get the same benefits. They get cell phones, they get credit cards, they get hotel rooms. And that's all. And all of that's being paid by New York City residents. The city tax. Yeah. And kids are being kicked out of their schools right now to give shelter to migrants. There's so many different areas that are being affected by this.

And it's it's only going to get worse it's wild to see how these amazing cities i grew up with like aspiring like new york city la san diego are like holes now i mean have you have you been to san francisco lately i hear it is i mean i hear it's horrible same yeah it's like it's like a zombie town you walk around there are people just like you know on drugs like not knowing where there are there's needles everywhere uh there was an in-and-out burger in oakland open 18 years still profitable only in-and-out burger in oakland just shut down damn because of all the crime they're like it's not that we're not turning a profit we just can't keep uh the doors open because we literally watch crime happening in the parking lot it's terrible i just I just went to San Diego for Christmas.

So there was more homeless people than regular people on some of the streets. I was walking and I literally felt unsafe. San Diego. That's how I mean, it's, it's happening all over the place. I don't, I don't understand what the goal is here. I mean, we see it. Yeah. It's not like the facts and the evidence aren't there.

So why are we just allowing this to happen? I mean, even with, you know, what was going on in Texas with the border, they wanted to be able to cut down all the wires. And it's why. Why would we make it even easier for the illegals to come through? But that's the point is there are different goals in mind. We'll see what happens there. Now, you're very skinny. I saw a clip that you admitted

to taking Ozempic, but you're already super skinny. So I'm confused. Okay. So it was kind of more of just a YOLO moment. Everyone was talking about Ozempic, what it does. And I was like, I just wanted to see how it affected me. So my doctor was able to give me a shot and I unfortunately did it right before Thanksgiving, which horrible timing. And it works. Yeah. I mean, I was completely turned off by food.

Wow. It not, it nauseates you though. Like it's, it's not pleasant. So I couldn't eat chicken for months afterwards because there was one incident where I opened, I had chicken at work and I opened up the Tupperware and the smell, I was like, oh my God. So then I was turned off by chicken, but smell, I was like, oh my God. So then I was turned off by chicken.

But yeah, it absolutely works. But it's horrible for you. A lot of people are on it right now. There was a girl who has diarrhea for life now. What? Because of Ozempic. It completely messed up her intestinal tract. And now for life, she will have this condition that gives you diarrhea.

That's horrible. I would never want that for life. No, I mean, it wasn't worth it, right? No, that is is gross but thank you for calling me skinny i'll take it yeah i mean it's first thing i noticed honestly favorite interviews you ever you've ever done favorite interviews let's see portnoy oh dave portnoy was cool yeah um i got to go to his pizza festival which was awesome. It was rating, but all in all, still a great event. And I love him.

Dave Portnoy, same thing. Same as Dana. Dana also, I know I get to interview him more and more now, but I never become less interesting because he's such a cool guy but yeah i love that dave um is same as a lot of us now um speaking his mind unafraid unapologetic and uh i think more people you know these organizations that have become more barstool is very mainstream now i need people like that at the helm he got me too also and he survived oh yeah yeah of course he did you know he, people look at him as an easy target. Yeah. You know, and thankfully, he was not afraid and, you know, fought back and prevailed there. Yeah, I was cheering for him there.

Yeah. But he was getting, man, that media was brutal. I also interviewed Peyton Manning back in the day. Oh, I was up. As a Indianapolis girl. That was fantastic. Nice. It was great.

I love the Mannings. I was a Giants fan growing up. Yeah. Living in Jersey, so that's awesome. Yeah, so the mannings i was a giants fan growing up living in jersey so that's awesome yeah so peyton manning was a cool one oh and i used to trick or treat at his house growing up really yep king-size candy bars i was gonna ask that i do that now there was actually uh an incident we were playing truth or dare and it was when i was in high school and i was dared to streak down Peyton Manning's driveway, and I did it. No way.

Yeah, so I don't know if the security footage exists, but I was naked running down Peyton Manning's driveway. Wow. Yeah. Peyton, if you're watching this, post it. Oh, wait, you were under 18, though. I was under 18. Okay, so that's a sex charge, I think, actually.

You started a company called Bring Your Own Vibe. Yeah. What is that about so um i i need to reintroduce that back into the uh the life events i put that on hold for a little bit but uh what it was is i was organizing dinner parties um and i actually just got the trademark approved so uh that's good nice uh bringing people together that normally would never have met under normal circumstances. It was a hidden guest list. I was inviting people just based on people that I thought would bring good energy into the room. Nice.

So you come, you bring a bottle of wine. And it's just a way to kind of get to know someone that, again, sitting next to someone you never met before, mostly. And there is a gratitude aspect involved. So I would pose a question after everyone had eaten their dinner. And I was cooking, by the way. Hopefully, once we bring it back, I can get it catered. Because cooking for 15 people, not an easy task. Cooking for myself sometimes is an easy task, but I would

introduce a question like, for example, who is someone in your life that deserves credit that they're not getting right now? And people, you know, I think when you take a second to really think about that, there's plenty

of people that come to mind, but the stories that were shared at the table kind of inspired others to be more open. You had a couple people that maybe said, I don't want to talk about that. There's plenty of people that come to mind, but the stories that were shared at the table kind of inspired others to be more open. You had a couple people that maybe said, I don't want to talk about this. This isn't, you know, I'm not comfortable sharing this with this group. But then they would hear other people talk and they would say, oh, you said your sister. Well, I actually feel the same way about my sister or, and it got, it gets very deep. It's almost like a really intense therapy session. And it's crazy because you're being so vulnerable around people that you've never met before. Strangers. And it really is powerful.

And people would leave and say, I feel so much better. Like this was one of the most memorable nights I've ever had in my life. That's super cool. And it just, it feels really good. It's like you leave with the weight being lifted off your shoulders. And I think that's what we're missing right now in the world you know there's a lack of vulnerability vulnerability uh also just a lack of you know in-person communication like you go out so many nights and i feel like you have conversations with people that are just

meaningless right you leave being like okay that fine, but I don't really feel like I got much out of it. And, uh, this was different. Like you left and being like, okay, intention that meant something. Yeah. What inspired you to start this? I actually was inspired by a friend of mine, Chris. Uh, he started something similar and he's been very successful with it, but obviously I bring a different energy and vibe than Chris does. And I sat down with him. I said, I would love to follow in your footsteps and produce something of my own in this vein. And so he helped me with it.

He kind of gave me some tips. And actually, one of the things that I did to prepare for it was I took a master class on negotiation. It was led by a guy who was the head of a SWAT team. Was it Chris Voss? Yes. Yeah, he came on the show. Yeah. And I did that in the way that he leads conversations, you know, is a very important tactic when leading these discussions as well. It's very powerful. So yeah, I took that master class. And yeah, there's just different techniques that you can use to get people to open up in situations and really help them to delve into what they're saying and dig a little deeper.

So it's cool. So I'm going to have another and you're invited. I'd love to come to that. Get some trauma off my shoulder. We all have it. Because we don't like to, like you said, it's kind of like being vulnerable. It puts yourself in a weak spot. And some people see it as weakness. But in a controlled environment like that, I feel, it's kind of like being vulnerable. It puts yourself in a weak spot. And some people see it as weakness.

But in a controlled environment like that, I feel like it's... I just feel like if we all lived our lives just saying what was on our mind and just not worrying about what other people thought and just really speaking from the heart, I just can't imagine what type of world it would be compared to what it is now. Right now, it just feels so fake. Agreed, but there's a limit when you're crying on camera. I feel like, you know what I mean?

You're just asking for attention sometimes. Oh, I mean, yes. I mean, there are some people who, yes, need to just shut up. But there's a lot of other people that I wish would be more vocal. I think a lot of the issues we face right now if people would just be up front we probably would be in a very different place i love that yeah yeah from the east coast that's how we roll yeah oh there's no other way and it's funny because i'm from indianapolis originally but when i went to college i went to school in dc again i think i told you that

everyone was like where are you from new york jersey like right away because i'm predominantly sicilian so i like i've always just been like very like loud and like fiery and i talk with my hands yeah and i was like no i'm from indianapolis and they're like no i'm like no i swear i don't believe you so uh yeah i definitely east coast vibe is always been a part of me i get that from you for sure charlie it's been fun anything you want to close off with or promote no uh i mean i i think the Maxim magazine is still on newsstands. Go grab yourself a copy. And I'm doing my show on Outkick five days a week where I'm – we're actually going to go through a little bit of a rebrand where I'm going to get to do a lot more stuff that I'm passionate about.

So that will be fun. And then all over Fox and UFC and probably much more to come. So, yeah, I'm adding to the resume day by day. Let's do it. We'll link it all in the video. Thanks for coming on. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, thanks for watching, guys.

As always, see you tomorrow.
